I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. In the end, I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

24. The writer argued with his son because ______________.

A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares

B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish

C. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totally different opinion

D. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t

A. won the race by his own hard working

B. took a risk by agreeing to run a race

A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

B. boys who Sonny has run races with before

C. boys who Sonny has never raced with before

D. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again

A. The tortoise B. Sonny

C. The hare D. Sonny’s father

Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.

Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.

So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.

A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:

Sorry, I’m still alive!

28. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?

   A. She is miserable and unhappy.          B. She feels she is going to die very soon.

   C. She would like to live much longer.      D. She is cheerful and humorous.

29. Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to ________.

   A. smoking only a little every day          

   B. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise

   C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day

   D. her giving up smoking and drinking

30. Which of the following could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?

   A. march    B. trick    C. deal   D. sport

31. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?

   A. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.

   B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.

   C. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.

   D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn’t worth the money he has already paid.

D

For some people, running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging（拾荒慢跑）! Plogging began in Sweden in 2016. A Swedish man named Erik Ahlstrom became concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work and he began picking up the trash.That is how plogging was born!

Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He would often pick up trash while running outside. He even turned it into a game; he would try to pick up the trash without stopping.

Today, plogging is an official activity which is becoming increasingly popular. Plogging can build closer social connections in a community, and it can also be fun.When Dana Allen goes plogging around D.C., she invites her friends, and they make a day of it. Although Allen enjoys plogging, she doesn’t do it all the time. When she is training for a serious marathon race, the trash has to wait.

Cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging. One fitness app, Lifesum, records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.

Getting ready to plog is similar to getting ready to jog. Ploggers do some deep knee bends as well as some balancing exercises and then they put on protective gloves. There are other safety rules for plogging. The main one is to plog in areas where there are not too many people. Stopping quickly in front of someone to pick up an empty bag of potato chips, for example, could cause a crash.

32. What do we know about Jeff Horowitz from the text?

A. He was the first person to plog.

B. He has been actually plogging.

C. He is in support of eco­travelling.

D. He is an expert in picking up trash.

33. What is so special about Dana Allen’s plogging?

A. She doesn’t always do it with her friends.

B. She always finds it interesting to do it.

C. She nearly does it in a park every day.

D. She doesn’t insist doing it every day.

34. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A. Picking up trash is important.

B. Plogging events are of little use.

C. Plogging is a better workout.

D. The idea of plogging is strange.

35. Why should ploggers choose to plog in less crowded areas?

A. To avoid a crash.                   B. To save energy.

C. To pick up more trash.               D. To make it unknown.

    阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。           

Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other.    36     . It is reported that American parents today spend about 40 percent less time with their children than parents did a generation ago. To keep your family time creative and enjoyable, below is a list of helpful family time tips.

1. Eat together & listen to each other

Most children today don’t know the meaning of a family dinnertime. Yet the communication and unity built during this time is necessary to a healthy family life. Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives.     37     .

2. Read often

It’s important for parents to read to their children. The latest research shows that reading to your children develops an interest in knowledge and contributes to language development. It also increases their concentration on things and helps them become more curious.   38     . After reading, ask questions about what the books are about.

3. Start a hobby or project

Choose a fun activity that your children are interested in. Activities like cooking, fishing or biking can be their great hobbies.     39     . Once a child learns a new skill, let him or her take the lead under your direction.

4. Plan a family outing

    40   . Jump into the family car and go for a drive. Prepare a picnic lunch and visit a local park. Take time to play or ride a bike. A slow and relaxing walk in the woods will help parents communicate with their children better. Also, a visit to the zoo or museum will inspire enthusiasm(热情) in a child and lead to long discussions.

A. It is very important for children to exercise.

B. They can open the door to exciting family time.

C. Sometimes getting out of the house is important.

D. Look for books that your children would enjoy reading.

E. New technology has made video games more popular with children.

F. This is also a time for parents to listen and give advice to their children.

G. As a result, many children are getting less love than their parents once got.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My Parents and I had been planning my brother’s birthday party since the beginning of March. Johnny would be six years old in two weeks. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “I wonder what I can do to make my brother’s birthday special.”

I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint-by-number kit（数字涂色小套装）I had seen at the store around the comer.

I decided to empty my coin jar（存钱罐） and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars,” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I had saved.

Suddenly a "great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents’ bedroom where my dad kept loose change（零钱）on top of the dresser（梳妆台）. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some coins. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once,” I thought.

However, I was soon overcome by guilt（负罪感）. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all. However, I still put all the change I found into my own pocket.

I slid out of my parents’ room and headed toward the door. " Where are you going, Arwen? " Mom asked, " Oh, just up to the corner store," I replied. "Well, don't stay out too long, Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom” I ran out of our house.

Once I got to the store, I took the paint-by-number kit from the shelf.

"Can I help you, young lady?” the saleswoman asked.

"No. I'm just looking, thank you," I said.

"That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one. " she said.

Dear Mike,

I’m glad to receive your letter, in which you expressed interest in the Chinese Senior High school life.

At the beginning of Senior High, everything seems to be fresh and exciting, but I find it difficult to learn some subjects, and have to cope with more pressure. Fortunately, our school has offered a range of extra-curriculum activities. What interests me most are the various elective courses ranging from American TV Dramas Appreciation to Chinese Tea Culture. The future days will see me face up to challenges and make more progress. I am sure my hard work will pay off.

Would you tell me about your new semester? I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

Paragraph 1:

I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard. Finally, I decided to place the paint-by-number kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, when I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack — just like they were before — and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing.

Paragraph 2:

I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The saleswoman had even agreed that she would keep the paint kit behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I managed to earn the money I needed and bought the kit just one day before Johnny’s birthday. When opening the gift box at his birthday party, Johnny was wild with joy. “Thank you so much, Arwen.” Johnny said, “This kit is so special!” I smiled with content.
