A
With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.
★WeChat
WeChat is now the most popular social media app in China. Almost everyone is using WeChat. You can send both text and voice messages on WeChat. You can also make voice and video calls. You can also post texts, pictures and video clips. If your friends in your home country have this app, you can also chat with them through voice or video. WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.
★Alipay
Alipay is a similar app to PayPal. It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option. You can even use mobile payment at street vendors, so if you have this app, you can leave your wallet at home.
★Didi
Now Didi seems to be the smartest way to travel around. With one tap, a car comes directly to you. Didi is a Chinese car-hailing service app. It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.
★Pleco
This is one of the top Chinese/English dictionary apps and it covers 130,000 Chinese words and includes 20,000 example sentences with pinyin. It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.

The health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.
Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to a report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.
Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. “Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “Damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized.” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.
The solution, says the report’s author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects ran by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.
“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”
Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”
24．From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A．millions of people are threatened with cancer
B．most countries see a shortage of herbal medicines
C．about two thirds of medicinal species will disappear
D．a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction
25．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A．pollution B．sustainability
C．over-harvesting D．other species’ invasion
26．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.
B．Local people don’t know how to protect medicinal plants.
C．Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants’ future.
D．China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.
27．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Low-cost Cancer Treatment B．The Importance of Sustainability
C．Medicinal Plants Facing Extinction D．Sustainable Development of the Environment
C
The first time I used the TV to distract my daughter, I felt like a bad parent; I convinced myself I was a “bad” mom—these days I believe the opposite to be true. Screen time makes me a better mom.
Now I know what most of you might be thinking: That's ridiculous. Only crappy parents rely on the screen to care for their kids. Then again, experts suggest parents limit media use. And while I do not doubt experts, there are things they fail to consider.
Like most 6-year-olds, my daughter gets worked up and excited easily and watching a cartoon gives her a chance to shut off her mind. And there are other reasons— more selfish reasons. I am a work-from-work mom, and giving her screen time gives me “me” time. I'm able to write while she watches TV. And while this may sound bad, I believe I am helping my daughter realize she should rely on herself. When Mommy works, she gets her own snacks, drinks and toys.
There are other benefits, too. TV has also taught my daughter. Thanks to “super Why”, she knew her alphabet at 2, and thanks to “Sesame Street”, she was able to count to 20 by age 3. And I use the screen as a great incentive. My daughter earns “tablet time” when she completes tasks, e. g. , making her bed earns 15minutes while doing her homework gets her 30.
Of course, I have a few rules. During meals, the TV is off; all programs must be supervised; on weekdays, she is limited to two hours maximum. So remember: It doesn’t matter what our kids watch; it matters what they do, what they say, what they feel and how they act, and only you know what is best for them.
28．What can be learned about the author’s opinion about screen time?
A．It differs from a popular belief. B．It is welcome by most crappy parents.
C．It fails to take kids into consideration. D．It is the same with experts.
29．How can screen time be good for kids whose mothers work at home?
A．It gives them topics to discuss with friends. B．It enables them to keep their spirits up.
C．It helps them become independent. D．It gives them some continuous time.
30．How many reasons are given by the author for letting her daughter watch TV in the third paragraph?
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
31．Which of the following might the author agree with?
A．Nothing can be accomplished without rules.
B．A man is good-for-nothing (无用之人)until he is educated.
C．Science and technology are primary productive forces.
D．Each coin has two sides.

D
Green skin is common in science fiction, but what if green skin were not just for aliens? It humans had green skin, what if it granted us the ability to perform photosynthesis (光合作用), which plants use to live off of sunlight?
Let's analyze what science says about it and ask award-winning science-fiction author John Scalzi what he thinks.
Plants can live off of photosynthesis because they grow broad, flat leaves to harvest as much light as possible, They also need less energy because they are far less active than animals.
According to Lindsay Turnbull, a plant ecologist at the University of Oxford, if the skin of a woman were photosynthetic like a leaf, the amount of surface area she had would satisfy only 1% of her daily energy requirements to survive. For a photosynthesizing woman to meet her energy demands, she would need a lot more skin-about a tennis courts worth, Turnbull estimated.
In addition, photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide. Plants have pores(毛孔)that they use to supply the gas to their cells. If photosynthetic humans had chloroplasts(叶绿体), they might need porous skin to let in carbon dioxide, but such pores might let other things leak in or out-for instance, moisture(水分)-in ways that might prove harmful to the human body.
One might wonder if photosynthetic people might prefer moving to sunny climates. Although such people might receive a small increase from photosynthesis if they moved to a desert area, they would likely base other resource issues to deal with, such as a lack of water. Scalzi said. “There's always going to be trade-offs(平衡).” he noted.
And would photosynthetic humans prefer hole or no clothing to absorb all those rays? In some photosynthetic societies, clothing might become a symbol of the elite- a sign they get enough energy from food and do not need photosynthesis. You can imagine them saying. "I'm rich, so I can cover up." Scalzi said.
So would Scalzi want photosynthetic skin for himself? "Probably not.” he said. “I don’t see the benefit from it being so great that I would completely change the way I’d look to benefit from it.”
32．Why can't humans live off of photosynthesis according to Lindsay Turnbull?
A．Because we are less active. B．Because we wear clothes.
C．Because we don’t have green skin. D．Because our skin area is not large enough.
33．If photosynthetic humans had pores, what would be the disadvantage?
A．They would absorb too much CO2. B．They would release some useful substances.
C．They would be too small for human beings. D．They would keep gases from entering the human body.
34．What might be the reason why Scalzi says no to photosynthetic skin for himself?
A．He was too conservative to accept that.
B．He wouldn't like to move to sunny climates.
C．He believed there were more risks than benefits.
D．He thought clothing was simply a symbol of upper class.
35．How does the author support the theme of the text?
A．By providing research results. B．By describing a process.
C．By making classifications. D．By following the time order.

When I was a kid, I considered different jobs that I would like do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much at that time. Therefore, when I studied chemistry at high school, I reconsidered my goal and decide to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision.
