“Good morning，” the new teacher said.“I'm Ernesto Flores, your teacher for fifth grade.” In all his years in school, Julio had never heard a teacher use his or her first name. Of course, the students always found out what they were, but it was up to the students to discover this information for themselves.
“Now I'd like to find out who you are，” said Mr.Flores.He began to call the roll (点名), starting with the boys. Julio shook his head.Teachers always began with the girls.
“Julio Sanchez，” called Mr.Flores, pronouncing it Hulio. That was the correct way to say the name in Spanish.
Several kids laughed.They had never heard Julio's name pronounced without the J.
Mr. Flores looked up from the roll book. “Isn't that how you say your name？” he asked Julio. “Or do you prefer Julio with a J？”
“At home, they call me Hulio. But at school everyone calls me Julio，” Julio said.
“Do you like two pronunciations of your name？” asked the teacher. “It's a good Spanish name and you should be proud of it.”
Julio smiled.“I know，” he said, “but it doesn't matter to me.”
“Are you sure？” asked Mr.Flores.“Your name is a very important part of you.”
Julio thought for a moment.“Okay，” he said. “From now on, everyone please call me Hulio. Puerto Rico, where I was born, used to be a Spanish colony (殖民地).”
“That's right，” said Mr.Flores.“Can you tell us something about Puerto Rico？”
“I came here when I was only eight months old. I don't remember anything，” Julio replied.
“I think you can interview your parents instead，” Mr. Flores said.
Julio nodded. It would be fun to learn more about the place where he had been born.

This love story began in Winchester, 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled during birth, leaving him brain­damaged and unable to control his arms and legs.
When Rick was 11, he managed to use a computer by touching a switch with the side of his head. He was finally able to communicate. And after a high school classmate was injured in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick typed, “Dad, I want to do that.”
How was Dick, a fat man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? But, he tried. That day changed Rick's life. “Dad，” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore！” And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became crazy about giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard­belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5，083rd place out of more than 20，000 starters. “NO question about it，” Rick typed. “My dad is the father of the century.”
And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago, he had a mild heart attack during a race. “If you hadn't been in such great shape，” one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.” So, in a way Dick and Rick saved each other's lives.
They compete in some races every weekend, including the latest Father's Day. That night, Rick bought his dad dinner, but the thing he really wanted to give him was a gift he could never buy. “The thing I'd like most，” Rick typed, “is that my dad sits in the chair and I push him once.”
28．What made a great difference to Dick's and Rick's lives?
A．Doctors' suggestions. B．Becoming professional athletes.
C．Taking part in the running races. D．A race held by Rick's high school.
29．How does Dick benefit from running with his son?
A．It extends his lifetime. B．It helps him to keep slim.
C．It makes his family close. D．It brings him a comfortable life.
30．How did Rick sound when talking about the gift for Father's Day?
A．Regretful. B．Excited. C．Indifferent. D．Embarrassed.
31．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Father of the Century B．A Charity Run for a Teenager
C．A Moving Disabled Young Man D．A Love Story Between Father and Son
D
Since the outbreak of COVID­19 in early 2020, public health and government officials have put social distancing rules in place and advised people to stay at home as much as possible. Many schools around the world started online learning.
Do teenagers have it easy being home all the time? Not necessarily. They can't connect with teachers and friends in person and do outdoor activities. They are even concerned about the deadly disease. These have caused a rise in anxiety among young people.
In a study of about 1，500 teens last spring, 70% kids said that they were struggling with anxiety and 45% had felt more stressed than usual. Poncin, a professor of clinical child psychiatry (精神病学), said that it's difficult to show exactly what is causing the increased stress. Some factors focus on our communities and families, while others are individual (个别的). “There are many stress factors that teens are worried about, like their parents losing jobs, family members getting sick, parents not being home, not talking with friends, and more，” Poncin said. “Teens need to learn how to be together and how to talk and be with people.”
Thinking about something over and over also builds stress. To help ease (缓解) their worries, teens can bike, walk the dog or even pick up a new hobby.
In my home state of North Carolina, Roy Goode, head of the local educational agency, is especially concerned about students who don't have the resources they need to learn at home. “Today's students are tomorrow's leaders，” he said. “We need to make sure they all have a chance to succeed so we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.”
32．Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?
A．To tell the reasons leading to anxiety.
B．To stress the importance of being together.
C．To show teens' increased mental problems.
D．To stress the need for dealing with sadness.
33．Which of the following best shows Poncin's opinion?
A．He believes chatting online helps.
B．He thinks teens should learn at home.
C．He thinks there are different reasons for teens' stress.
D．He believes government is responsible for COVID­19.
34．According to the passage, what can teens do to free them from worries?
A．Stay at home alone. B．Develop new hobbies.
C．Play computer games. D．Have a walk with friends.
35．Where is the text most likely from?
A．A diary. B．A magazine. C．A guidebook. D．A novel.

I’m happy to know you’re coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai,both are highly recommended.Personally,I prefer the tour along the Yangtze River.You can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people.Moreover,the scenery along the river is amazing,with many well-known sightseeing spots.If you prefer hiking,you can also choose the trip to Mount Tai.
Hope you’ll have a good time in China.
Yours,
