games,according to a notice issued by Chinas National Press and Publication Administration.Online game companies are required to provide services to minors from8 to 9 p.m.on Fridays,Saturdays,Sundays and legal holidays as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health.Children are playing more and more online games these days.Is it time to limit their online gaming time?What role do parents have?Readers share their opinions.Rizlared Online games are addictive,but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this,parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones.Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.Andrew Good policy.By limiting time spent on online games,kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential.They can go outside and run,jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.Adam It is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones.Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage.Some forcibly take away their cellphones,but it will ruin trust and relationship.Even worse,it will make their kids hate them.Pink Excessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health.The gaming industry should not put profit-flaking interests as its priority(优先事项).They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.Lauren There would be a loophole(漏洞).Children could use their parents or other adults IDs to avoid real-name registration,thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect.Parents ly need to strengthen guidance and supervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.1.What should kids do according to Andrew?A.Play online games.B.Play with a smart phone.C.Study all the time.D.Go in for outside activities.2.What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?A.Pay attention to its profit.B.Focus on kids health.C.Be responsible for kids surroundings.D.Persuade kids lo

Music is said to be a universal language.But for Chase Burton,a deaf filmmaker fromTexas,music has always been a totally different experience.“When I was a kid,Id lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations(震动，颤动)from my brothers band rocking out below my body,”the 33-year-old man said.“That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”In 2016,his ability to experience music changed dramatically,thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs.It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to“feel”music through their skin.Consisting of a body harness(背带),ankle and wrist belts,the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points.Burtonhas been trialing the suit for four years.“The sound hits different parts of your body,”saidBurton.“Maybe it will strikeme down in my ankles first.And then Ill start to feel the vibrations in my back.And then Ill feel some pulsations in my wrist.”The creators want to extends the tactile(触觉)musical experience beyond the deaf community.In 2018,they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert inLas Vegaswhere half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.Since then,Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says its ready to go to market soon.Eventually,the creators want the suit to become a consumer product,accessible to all.The companys talent and business development director,Jordan Richardson,said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts,video games and theme parks.As a writer and director whos been working to make the movie world more accessible,Burtonhopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future.He believes the suit canenhanceemotions while watching a movie for hearing as well as deaf people.“I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesnt always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.4.Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?A.To feel some pulsations in his wrist.B.To feel the vibrations from his brothers band.C.To expand the tactile musical experience.D.To begin building a bond with films.5.What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?A.It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.B.Its products have been used in live sports

Free Suit D.Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the Ears C Whether for a special holiday,as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care,gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place,traditions vary widely from one country to the next.A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else.Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS,a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding.However,in certain European countries likeGermany,people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship.There is a way to break it:Tie a coin to the knife or gift box.The receiver then returns the coin to you as a“payment”to remove the bad luck.Theres a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the grooms(新郎)tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces.Wedding guests can then buy”these tie pieces in exchange for cash.Its a fun way to give money to the new couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture,behaviors such as touching,passing money,or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand.Different from some other cultures,an odd number(奇数)of thingsor currency represents good luck.For example,11 should be given rather than 10.InZimbabwe,it is common to directly ask for a gift.When you receive a gift without asking for it,even if the givers family is poor,its the worst way to reject the offering.Also,expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally(口头地).These may include jumping up and down,dancing,or whistling.8.What does the underlined word“offensive“in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Rude.B.Creative.C.Suitable.D.Caring.9.How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A.The guests cut the grooms tie into pieces.B.The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C.The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D.The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.10.What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A.It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B.Its better to reject a gift from a poor family.C.One can express thanks by writing letters.D.Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.11.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Wayof Showing Gratitude B.A Fun Behavior to Respect People C.Various Gift Giving Traditions D.A Special Custom of Gift Giving D Ive never been the kind of person to say,“its the thought that counts”when it comes to gifts.That was until a couple of weeks ago,when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now,Ive been wanting to sell our home,the place where my husband and I raised our kids.But to me,this house is much more than just a building.In the front room,theres a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines,marking the progress of my childrens growth.Every growth stage is marked in grey,with each childs name and the date they were measured.Of all the objects and all the memories,its this one thing in a home thats the hardest to leave behind.Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over.A new paint job wouldnt normally be greeted by tears,but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should.Our kids grow in so many ways,but the wall is physical evidence of their progress,right there for everyone to see.Over the years,Ive talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved,even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day,while I was at work,my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning,a professional photographer whose work is about capturing(捕捉)the beautiful things in life,from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns(舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work,and over several hours,took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines,little grey fingerprints(手印),and old marks.Somehow,she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly.Afterwards,she put all the photos together into one image,transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later,my childrens wonderful gift made its way to mea life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.12.The underlined phrase in Para.I“blew me away”probably means“_”.A.attracted me B.surprised me C.accepted me D.refused me 13.What does the house really mean to the author?A.A house.B.Buildings.C.An object.D.Memories.14.What surprised the friends I know after work?A.Finding the wall repainted.B.Erasing the fingerprints.C.Greeting them by tears.D.Leaving the wall unfinished.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Gift Made with Love B.Buildings Made by Children C.A Very Wonderful Painting D.A Family History 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
