know where to look.Enchanted Learning Enchanted learning is a great website for children,and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms.Most of the information is free,but for$20.00 per year,you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising.The pages here are great.There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers(学步儿童)and school-age children.Starfall Starfall is another good educational website for small children.Teachers often use this website in classrooms.It emphasizes reading skills for early learners.The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners,but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade.The website has reading activities,worksheets to download,and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street Workshop Kids loveSesame Street,and it is always educational.This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects.The website has games and stories for small kids,and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.1.Why does Enchanted Learning offer purchasing memberships?A.Charging for the information.B.Charging for downloading materials.C.Giving access to the site without the ads.D.Providing unlimited search for more pages.2.Where can you buy educational materials for your children?A.Enchanted Learning B.Starfall C.Sesame Street Workshop D.Colored pages 3.What is the purpose of this text?A.To introduce.B.To discuss.C.To persuade.D.To educate.B The idea of low material desire,low consumption and refusing to work,marry and have children,concluded as a“lying down”lifestyle,recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials(千禧一代)and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens,including work stress,family disputes(纷争)and financial strains,have pushed them“against the wall”.They said they hate the“involution(内卷),”joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the virtues of struggle,endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses,they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis(宣泄)and adjustment,”said a scholar.“It is no wonder that some young people,under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage(按揭)today,would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly,the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times,who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy,acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest.It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions,some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work.But in fact,lying down is not entirely comfortable.Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale(士气)far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future,but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,”a postgraduate student told the Global Times.“Its no use running away.I have to stand up and face the reality sooner or later.”4.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A.Warned.B.Criticized.C.Touched.D.Amused.5.What might have caused the“lying down”lifestyle among the young?A.Improvements in living conditions.B.Growing pressure from family and social life.C.Increasing material possessions from families.D.Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.6.Whats the scholars attitude toward the“lying down”group?A.Understanding.B.Intolerant.C.Supportive.D.Unclear.7.What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A.They never really drop their responsibilities.B.They really enjoy the“lying down”lifestyle.C.They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D.They would rather escape than take challenges.C Jon Pedley is making a big change.He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others.He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda,East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life.At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law.“Ive always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else.As long as I was all right,I didnt care who I was hurting,”says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life.He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing.“I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes,which are a fortune for them,”he said.Now Pedley is selling his business,his$1.5 million farmhouse,and his expensive car and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village.There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi.He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers.Today,people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital,so Pedley will help to build doctors offices,too.Pedleys organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble.The teens will be sent to a“camp”in Uganda that Pedley will run.The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water,health,and education facilities for kids in Kigazi,many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease.Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.8.Which of the following best describes Pedleys life in the past?A.Negative.B.Colorful.C.Independent.D.Selfish.9.What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A.Do business with the local people.B.Help farmers increase potato output.C.Assist villagers with

more positive life.C.To train them to become doctors in the future.D.To make them learn about different cultures.11.What is the best title for the text?A.From millionaire to mud hut B.A life-changing adventure C.A rich man becoming homeless D.More money,more worries D Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time,given my family history of heart disease.So last summer,I travelled toBolivia.The natives,called the Tsimane,were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world.I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.Getting to the Tsimane wasnt easy.They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks.We finally found one of the villages at sunset.That night,we set up our tents in the middle of the village.Thatched huts surrounded us,with no electricity or modem conveniences.At first,I thought they mainly got their calorics from meat.However,I found food such as rice and com made up nearly 70%of their diet.The food was not processed,lacking added sugars or salts.During my stay there,I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids.I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours.Men spent lots of time tracking animals.Fanning and gathering,mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs.I also got a clear idea of how they rested.As soon as the sun went down,people returned to their huts and went to sleep.And with the call of the cock in the morning,another day began.The lifespan of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in theUS.Various factors,like animal attacks and infections,bring down the lifespan.But up until the day they die,they are often very healthy.While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day,the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesnt necessarily buy health.12.Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?A.He dreams of becoming a doctor.B.He wants to teach others about the topic.C.His family members encourage him to do so.D.He was born with a high risk of heart disease.13.Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?A.Housing,food and cooperation.B.Diet,activity and rest.C.Physical work,social life and lifespan.D.Group size,family history and consumption 14.What was the Tsimane s sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?A.Natural sound.B.Routine activity.C.Animal behaviour.D.Natural light.15.What might the author advise us to do after his travels inBolivia?A.Take in less sugar and salt.B.Stand less and walk more.C.Eat white meat instead of red meat.D.Live in the middle of the community.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）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“Communication is the most essential and
