Chloe Kim was one of America's top Olympians during last year's Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The snowboarding champion, who grew up in California, competed there at 17 years of age. She became the youngest woman ever to win an Olympic gold medal in the halfpipe competition. She has recently won a halfpipe competition during the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. But the 18-year-old snowboarder has decided to trade some trips down the halfpipe for an Ivy League education after an upcoming world championship competition in Utah. Beginning from next fall, Kim will be joining Princeton University's class. Instead of centering on the physics of her winning snow board moves, she could now be learning the subject in school. In a recent interview, Kim said, “While I have a special identity and my life has always been so different, I still aim to make my higher education experience as normal as possible.” Kim added, “I'd love to be Chloe, the girl who sits next to me in English class.” Kim received widespread attention during the Pyeongchang Games. The publicity was fueled by her friendly, energetic nature as well as her interesting family story. Along her path to Olympic gold, Kim also became a social media star. She helped design a snowboarding Barbie doll in her likeness, rapped with hip-hop artist G-Eazy and joined other sports stars to be honored with ESPY Awards. While all of this was fun, Kim says she now looks forward to a new challenge—earning a degree from one of America's top universities. She says she considers her acceptance to Princeton just as much of an honor as earning an Olympic gold medal. She is still deciding what her exact field of study will be at Princeton. But she says it will involve something science-related, possibly chemistry or biology. She is attempting to work out a plan that will permit her to keep training while going to classes. Kim says her sports and educational goals go hand-in-hand. “It's all about progressing the sport and also pushing myself,” she said. “To see what can do, and how far I can go.” 1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Kim's personality and family background help raise her publicity. B.Kim majors in physics in Princeton University to improve snow board moves. C.Kim thinks being admitted to Princeton earns her more honors than being a sports star. D.Kim decides to give up the upcoming world championship competition in Utah. 2.By saying "I'd love to be Chloe, the girl who sits next to me in English class”, Kim______. A.tries to hide her identity as snowboarding champion B.desires to live a normal life in her study experience C.determines to forget all about her earlier sports life D.hopes the girl sitting by her is named Chloe as her 3.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.Snowboarding Champion Regains Popularity with Sports Lovers B.Snowboarding Champion Challenges Other Fields Successfully C.Snowboarding Champion Sets Sights on Education D.Snowboarding Champion Cooperates with Princeton University 4.From which is the passage probably taken? A.A study brochure B.A short-story collection C.A newspaper D.An autobiography
When my three boys were young, our summer vacation consisted of driving the nine hours to my parents' place in Maine, where I grew up. While we loved those visits, the truth is we couldn't afford to go anywhere else. My husband, David, and I had finally saved up enough to buy our first home. We'd even made an agreement: We wouldn't spend more than $ 100 without consulting each other. On one of those holidays, I took the boys to the local library, where a silent auction was underway. I was attracted by one item: Shot nearby, on the rocky coast, the photo was naturalistic, capturing the characteristic of the young subjects and the beauty of my home state. Up for bid: a session with the photographer. In a hurry, I wrote down my name on the sign-up sheet, half sure that my offer of $ 500 would be topped. It wasn't. And though I felt bad about breaking my agreement with David, I was happy with my bid won. The morning of the shoot, we put the kids into the car and drove to a favorite beach. The photographer, already standing in the parking lot with a camera around her neck, started snapping pictures the minute they got out of their car seats. She gently tried to persuade the boys forward, leading them to gather around a rock pool. When the contact sheet arrived, I knew it had been worth the money. In the photos each boy's personality shone clearly. More than a dozen years later, the portrait is a touchstone for me, a key to understanding who my children are. The photograph is a piece of art and a piece of our family history, worth every penny. 1.What was the author doing when she got to the silent auction? A.She was prepared to take a picture. B.She was much annoyed by the boys. C.She was alone wandering in a library. D.She was suddenly appealed to by an item. 2.What does the author think of the photographer? A.Beautiful B.Patient C.Elegant D.Courageous 3.What can be inferred from the passage? A.The contact sheet was not entirely unexpected. B.The couple might have quarreled a great deal. C.The couple thought they could take better photos. D.The picture was greatly cherished by the author. 4.What's the best title of this passage? A.The Best Gift the Woman Ever Bought B.The Poor Life the Woman's Family Lived C.The Lovely Children the Couple Had D.The Influence the Picture Brought

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting annoyed, but then it hit me: I started noticing his answers were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he be focused while standing up? This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be objects of stares. Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality features, and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way. I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids, and their ways of doing things. This way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being individual（个人）. It makes us happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live life. 1.According to the passage, the author tried to keep his son seated so that ________. A.he could finish his homework on time B.he couldn’t bother the author C.he could pay more attention to his study D.he could keep silent in the room 2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________. A.the importance of parents B.the old form of education methods C.the relationship between kids and their parents D.the good grades of some kids 3.In the past, what kind of child is unlovable? A.Those who are active and loud. B.Those who are obedient and calm. C.Those who are talkative and humorous. D.Those who are shy and careful. 4.What does the author think of teaching children? A.Encouragement is important. B.A fine example is necessary in the school. C.Children shouldn’t be punished. D.Children can not be taught in the same way. 5.In the opinion of the author, children should ________. A.have no freedom B.be friendly to their parents C.have their own style D.learn from their friends
Children really need to know some basic first aid skills. This is true whether your child is four or fourteen. So what should you teach your children? Calling for help Once your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling 911 in the event of an emergency. Explain all about what a real emergency is. For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult passes out and cannot be woken, if there is a fire and he can’t find an adult, or if people are hurt. As I am typing this, I just realized that although my kids are taught about 911, the telephones in the house are out of reach for all but my oldest child (to prevent the other two from playing with the phone). Don’t make this mistake yourself, or your children wouldn’t get in touch with the police in time. Cuts and scrapes (擦伤) Teach children about basic care for cuts and scrapes. In my house, the kids all know that cuts must be cleaned and know where the bandages are. They also know how to put pressure on a cut to make it stop bleeding. Of course they should ask an adult for help, but they should also know a bit about self care. Believe it or not, I had to help a teenage neighbor once who had no idea what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He just ran around in a circle. Burns Tell your child that if he ever gets a burn, he should immediately call for help and then run the cool but not cold water for the burn. Getting a burn cooled down quickly can reduce the damage to the skin. This is important if no adult is with your child when a burn occurs. 1.What should children be taught at 4 according to the author? A.To call out parents’names. B.To get help from the police. C.To know what a real emergency is. D.To remember some phone numbers. 2.What does the underlined part“this mistake”refer to? A.Letting kids play with the phone. B.Stopping kids from using the phone. C.Not telling kids to call 911. D.Keeping the phone out of kids’reach. 3.What does the example of the author’s teenage neighbor mainly tell us? A.Getting help is very important. B.Even teenagers can cut their hands. C.Not all teenagers are good at self care. D.We should be prepared to help others. 4.What should we do if we get a burn? A.Look for the bandages. B.Put some ice on the burn. C.Cool the burn under water. D.Wait for rescuers patiently. 5.What’s the text mainly for? A.Kids. B.Parents. C.Teachers. D.Students

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pen, and white paper, I decided that the act of _______ must be the most _________ thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother _________ different things for my sister and brother. “But the _________”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”. I never saw her angry, and never saw her cry.

I was “too emotional”. _________ she lived “on the surface”. As years passed and I graduated from college, I loved my mother and I wrote to her in _________ words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did __________ me.

Garlic Some people can’t stand garlic. “That smell is too strong. And it doesn’t go away! There’s nothing worse than garlic,” they say. 1.Chester Aaron grows eighty-seven kinds of garlic on his farm. He wrote a book called Garlic Is Life. It seems that people either love garlic or hate it. 2.The first wild garlic probably grew somewhere in western Russia. Later, travelers carried garlic to China, Europe, and North Africa. Farmers began planting it over 5,000 years ago. People in many cultures shared similar ideas about garlic. For example, it was believed that garlic made it possible for slaves to work harder and longer. In Greece, the athletes of the first Olympic Games ate garlic, because they wanted to become stronger and faster. 3.In some places, garlic was called “food for lovers”. People added it to other foods because it tasted good. People in many cultures ate garlic when they got sick. 4.It was also supposed to help with different kinds of pain. Is eating garlic actually good for you, or should we just laugh at these old ideas? The truth is, doctors today are telling their patients, “Eat garlic!” Recent research shows that garlic is good for your heart. 5. In many cultures, people trusted garlic to protect them from all kinds of bad luck. Garlic is great, but it can’t do that! A.But garlic wasn’t only for slaves and athletes. B.It was supposed to make a cold or fever go away. C.In China, people also used garlic to keep meat fresh. D.Maybe you don’t know that garlic has a long history. E.Recent research shows that garlic is bad for our health. F.Other people say it tastes great and it’s good for you, too. G.However, we can’t accept every idea about garlic from the past.
There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all. The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned to（结果是）be OK. Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right. “Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?” “A full spoon”, answered the student. “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.” “I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.” 1.The students were afraid of the professor because _________. A.they often angered and disappointed him B.their answers often astonished him C.their answers seldom satisfied him D.he often misunderstood (误解) them and give them bad markers 2.The student’s description of the illness was _____. A.not correct B.not satisfied C.completely discouraging D.accepted. 3.Before he left the room the student was almost sure that ______. A.he had passed the exam, and the only thing was to wait for the mark B.his last answer was satisfying C.he had made a mistake D.he had not done well in the exam. 4.Which of the following is Not true? A.The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon. B.The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon. C.Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time. D.If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time. 5.Which guess is the most reasonable from the passage? A.The student must have passed the exam. B.The students may not have passed the exam. C.The student must have been very happy when he heard, “Your patient has died.” D.The professor must have been very pleased and given the student a good mark.
My son was a second-grader. He went to school by bus every day. He was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment. One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school. “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I will call the driver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.” By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay,” I heard. “He was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family?” I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children’s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff. 1.From Paragraph 1 we learn that ________. A.the author’s son went home by bus every after-noon B.the author’s son came to school earlier than other students C.the author’s home was farther than that of any other student D.the author was a teacher in her son’s primary school 2.At first the secretary thought ________. A.the author’s son was still at school B.the author’s son was at his friend’s home C.the school bus would arrive in a while D.there might be something wrong with the school bus 3.The author’s son probably spent the night _________. A.in the bus B.at his own home C.at the driver’s home D.in the secretary’s office 4.The author wrote the text to ________. A.praise the school for its thoughtful action B.thank the bus driver for his kindness C.complain about the secretary of the school D.show her concern for kids safety
Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census (普查) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights. The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣), are easy to be harmed by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat. 1.It is _________ to see a black flower. A.impossible B.seldom C.common D.no chance 2.The passage tells us that ________________. A.black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up. B.there is only eight black flowers in nature. C.sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different. D.black flowers can take in the light of all the wave lengths which make them dry up because of high temperature. 3.Which of the following ideas is NOT true? A.People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black. B.Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature. C.Red, orange and yellow flowers can also absorb the light of all wave lengths. D.The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight.
Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small house or inns(客栈)instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning. Rooms for the night in private(私人的)homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms; others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do. Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home. The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families. 1.Americans take a holiday trip _________.

Ways to Track Your Personal Health Information on Your Phone Your smartphone is a powerful and flexible tool for acquiring information related to your health. 1. There are other various ways that allow the user several approaches for acquiring health information. ● 2.The sensors (传感器) built in to your phone can automatically acquire selected types of health information when they are linked to suitable apps. Thus, the apps take advantage of the phone's stock hardware to deliver specialized health-related functions. 3. Numerous apps use the phone's GPS to track outdoor activities like running or walking. A handful of apps also use the accelerometer (加速度计) to track indoor activities like treadmill running，which would be impossible to measure with the GPS. ● Acquire information with a separate health sensor. The smartphone itself is a wonder of modern technology. 4. Here are a few devices you can connect with your phone to track health information: Activity trackers like the fitbit, blood pressure monitor, heart rhythm monitor. Comprehensive platforms like Apple's Health app make it easy to tie all this information together. ● Link to your electronic health records. Much of your health information may be stored in electronic health records maintained by your health care providers. 5.You can access your health records through a patient portal (入口) on your phone or download it with the Blue Button function. A.See doctor with remote-controlled technology. B.Acquire information with the phone’s sensors. C.A popular example is tracking physical activity. D.This is the most primitive way to track your health information. E.Patients are now allowed to access information stored in electronic health records. F.You can use your phone’s native apps or a cloud storage service to track your health information. G.However, its greatest potential for health tracking may lie in the ability to connect to separate sensors.
