In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say. （1）Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?A.The countryside is much poorer than the city.B.Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.C.People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.D.People in the countryside have nothing to eat. （2）Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?A.Because they will find good jobs.B.Because they can make more money there.C.Because they are tired of living in the city.D.Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields. （3）The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows _.A.they miss their friends in the countrysideB.they are happy to move back to the cityC.they still want to move to the countrysideD.they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city （4）The best title of this passage may be "_".A.A happy life!B.Living in the city!C.Moving out or moving back?D.Living in the countryside! 3. There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean（地中海）has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts（度假胜地）and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. （1）Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _.A.they wish to escape from the cold and darknessB.they want to see some famous historic sitesC.they would like to take pictures in front of famous placesD.they are interested in different cultural and social customs （2）According to the text, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?A.Rainy weather.B.Crowded buses.C.Polluted water.D.Traffic jams. （3）The underlined part in paragraph 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain" suggests _.A.all the 37 million people living in Spain are touristsB.every person living in Spain has to take care of a touristC.there are a large number of tourists visiting SpainD.every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year （4）What is the main idea of the text?A.People travel for different reasons.B.Travelling causes a lot of problems.C.Europeans are fond of travelling.D.Northern Europeans travel for "sun". 4. If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs（00后）. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies（自拍）to become successful in real lifeor "IRL", as you would say?Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt（宠坏的）and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents" who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic（热情的）and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8（great）and LOL（laugh out loud）. （1）What's the best title of the passage?A.The future generationB.The young generationC.The generation gapD.The face-down generation （2）What does "helicopter parents" mean in Paragraph 3?A.Parents who prefer to live like teenagersB.Parents who often fly everywhere for their businessC.Parents who do dancing, drawing or sports with their childrenD.Parents who always guide and help children with homework and extra-curricular activities （3）Today's teenagers are thought of as the face-down generation because _.A.They use their phones a lotB.They are busy textingC.They deal with school and family with their phonesD.They become successful with their phones （4）What does the writer think about the face-down generation?A.They are annoyed.B.They are positive.C.They are spoilt.D.They are powerful.二、七选五  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。Study Tips for ExamsIt happens at times that you study for whole nights before an exam but still fail to remember a word in the actual paper.（1）_ The following are a few study tips for exams, which will help you to answer your papers with confidence.（2）_ It is better to have all the study material with you before you start reading.
