you buy tickets from Q,you have to pay more money.(B)Dear Sir/Madam,It is now common to go online in the home,yet a recent survey showed that ninety-five percent of parentsdo not know what websites their children visit.I strongly believe that a training project should be started to helpparents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their childrensonline activities.If they had a better understanding of the Internet,they would see the need to make sure that theirchildren use it properly and responsibly.Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children withtheir schoolwork.These days,a lot of homework needs to be done on computers.If parents have poor computerskills,they will be of little or no help with homework,which can make them upset.Some people argue that it isgood that students can work independently on computers.However,it is clear that students,especially youngstudents,often need this kind of home support.第 5页/共 12页学科网(北京)股份有限公司Improving parents Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve theirrelationships with their children.These days,children spend a lot of their free time on computers.If parents want tobe part of that free time,they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity.Joining theirchildren can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟)between them and their children.I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsibleway,and so training is extremely important.Yours faithfully.Pat Chan29.In the letter,the writer _.A.thinks parents should improve their Internet and computer skillsB.advises children not to spend a lot of their free time on computersC.tries to make children less worried about their online schoolworkD.explains why parents should pay more attention to their children30.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.31.The letter is probably from the part of _ in a newspaper.A.cultureB.sportsC.healthD.education(C)When you think of the Arctic(北极),you imagine an icy land of pure white snow.Others imagine it as the lastreally clean place left on earth.We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish.“And now.”CNN says,“its the Arctics turn.”German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow.Microplastics are pieces of plastic smallerthan 5 millimeters.Sadly,the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastics per liter of(每升)snow.How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic?第 6页/共 12页学科网(北京)股份有限公司According to scientists,its clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.They fall off theplastic objects and are moved by the wind,just like dust.They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.Are they bad for us?Scientists cannot answer this question for now,according to the WHO.We do know thatour bodies cannot take in“large”pieces of microplastics.However,if the plastics are small enough,they can findways into our bodies and stay there for a long time,which can be bad for our health.Whats more,earlier studieshave shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world.Earlier research has found that theyflow over long distances and into our oceans,hurting ecosystems along the way.They start in our waste water,thenflow into rivers and out to the sea,where they are eaten by sea animals.If people then eat these animals,it meansthat were eating the plastic as well.32.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A.the Arctic is the last really clean place left on earthB.the Arctic is an icy land of pure white snowC.the Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean airD.the Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish33.The underlined word“contribute”means _ in Chinese.A.增加B.捐赠C.影响D.贡献34.Which of the following isnt true?A.We may breathe microplastics in Arctic.B.Microplastics may cause lung cancer.C.We dont have to mind microplastics right now.D.Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.35.How does the writer end this passage?A.By advising us to drink clean water.B.By asking people not to eat sea animals.C.By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.D.By showing the beauty ofArctic.五、语言基础知识(共五、语言基础知识(共 20

years ago.Then,they were almost the only way to drivethe heat away.The Chinese character for the word“fan”has the same sound as the character for“kindness”.Thus,fans are viewed as good luck,charms and expressions of generosity.The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials.Palm(棕桐)leaf fans werecheap and easy to make.Feather fans showed the owners high position.Sandalwood(檀香)fans could send out asweet smell.Later,hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down.They developed intoworks of art,in which tuanshan-round fans and zheshan-folded fans were the most common.In the shape of a full moon,the round fans mean union and happiness.They had beautiful embroidery(刺绣)featuring birds and flowers on them,representing(代表)wealth
