【題目】A. Choose the best answer.

Hi there!

Can you help me? I’m doing a project at school. The title?‘Will life be better in 2100?’What do you think? Thanks you for your ideas!

Josh

a. Hi Josh! I think life will be great. People will live in‘smart houses’. A central computer will control the temperature, the lights, everything! These houses will be ecological and use solar energy and recycled water. A‘smart’mirror in the bathroomthat's right, it’s a mirror with a computer!will check your health. And guess what? Robots will cook and do the housework.

Maya

b. Pollution is a big problem today, but will be a bigger problem in 100 years. So people won’t use cars with petrol. They will drive in electric cars on underground roads. And there will be electric buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting!

Rosie

c. Hi Josh. Life will be better in 2100-in space! People will live on the Moon and Mars in special cities. They will grow food and send it to the Earth in a huge space craft. Space stations will orbit the Earth and control the climate. There will also be holidays in space! How cool is that?

Brandon

d. Will life be different in 100 years? Yes, it will. Will life be better? No, it won’t! Climate change will cause floods and droughts. Rich people will live for a long time, maybe 200 years! But life won’t be easy for most people. They won’t have food and water.

Faith

e. Well, Josh, the good news is… there won’t be any schools! Students will have lessons at home on their computers. They’ll be in contact with other students all over the world in a‘virtual’classroom. The bad news is…teachers will still give us homework in the future!

【題目】 Have you ever hiccupped (打嗝)in a quiet room full of people? Have you ever hiccupped so hard that you had to stop what you were doing? The hiccups is a problem that almost everyone has experienced.

The reasons for getting hiccups

People get hiccups for some reasons. Hiccups might result from eating or drinking too much or too quickly. A sudden change in the stomach’s temperature, such as drinking hot water immediately after drinking cold water, may also cause hiccups. They may even happen because of being excited or being under a lot of stress.

Making hiccups go away

Ideas on how to stop hiccups have been created, shared, and tried for years. However, what works for one person may not work for everyone. Perhaps the most common method people use is to hold their breath for a few seconds. If this doesn’t work, you can try swallowing (吞下)hard while holding your breath. There are also some strange-sounding ways, like drinking a lot of water. Someone might even try to scare away hiccups.

Ideas for curing (治愈)hiccups often include things found in the kitchen. Some people put sweet and sour things into water. Many people believe that eating some sugar can make hiccups go away.

Award-winning method

In 2010, a young girl named Mallory Kievman couldn’t make her hiccups go away. None of the ideas that she knew worked for her. So she decided to find her own cure for hiccups. She knew that sweet and sour things were commonly used to cure hiccups, and she knew that swallowing hard could also help. She decided to use the two ideas to make a special lollipop(棒棒糖). She experimented with different things in the kitchen. After she failed many times, Mallory invented a lollipop that worked by putting water, sugar and vinegar () together. She named her invention Hiccupops.

Mallory wanted to find out whether her lollipops would help others. She gave her lollipops to friends. Most of them were cured of their hiccups after eating the lollipops.

Mallory entered a competition with her lollipop and won three awards for her creative idea.

1Why does the writer begin the passage with the ideas in Paragraph 1?

A. To make the time of getting hiccups clear.

B. To suggest what it feels like to have hiccups.

C. To explain to us why people have trouble curing hiccups.

D. To interest us in a subject that many people have experienced.

2In which situation will you probably get a hiccup? .

A. You are going to take an exam without preparation.

B. You drink a bowl of soup slowly.

C. You swallow some medicine.

D. You eat a Hiccupop.

3The way people use most to stop hiccups is

A. holding the breath for a few seconds

B. swallowing hard while holding the breath

C. drinking a lot of water

D. eating some lollipops

4Which of the following is TRUE about Mallory Kievman?

A. It was not easy for her to invent her lollipops.

B. The ingredients (材料)of her lollipops aren’t easy to find.

C. Her lollipops can help everyone get away from hiccups.

D. She won three competitions with her lollipops.

【題目】Learning to love reading

Taking public transportation in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I rarely (很少地) see people reading during their free time.

Are people’s attitudes toward reading different here? Not really. Data (數(shù)據(jù)) released by Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They simply prefer e-books over regular books.

However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the us than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature (文學(xué)). From classic novels like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三國演義》) to the modern science-fiction books The Three-Body Problem (《三體》), and many other styles, Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works.

Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students definitely (肯定) have to read more and do more homework than US students. So it’s no wonder that they might not want to read much in their spare time.

But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot imagine. Even just a single book has the power to change your own personal beliefs and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?

1From Paragraph 1, what do we know about people in the US?

A. Most people take public transportation to work.

B. Students have homework to do on their way to school.

C. Many of them have the habit of reading.

D. They read books that are left behind on public transportation.

2Chinese authors have created many fantastic written works including ________.

A. classic novelsB. science-fiction books

C. realistic novelsD. All above

3Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Chinese people’s attitudes toward reading have changed.

B. Chinese people prefer e-books to regular books now.

C. Chinese people never read in their spare time.

D. Chinese people bought the most books from Amazon China in 2017.

4Why is reading less popular in China, according to the author?

A. Because Chinese people prefer to watch plays instead of reading.

B. Because it’s hard to choose what to read.

C. Because Chinese people already read enough books during their childhoods.

D. Because People’s childhood experiences may influence their reading habits.

5According to the author, reading books can ________.

A. help you learn more about schoolworkB. take too much of your time

C. make you feel tiredD. change your view of the world
