    You may have grown up living with sisters and brothers, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 1. However, it can also be a great part of your college experience. Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year.

Be clear from the beginning.

Maybe you hate it when someone interrupts you when you are sleeping every morning. Maybe you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up. 2. It's not fair to expect him or her to accept them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems.

3.

This may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflicts. Don't you think he’ll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over an uncrossable line. Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.

Be open to change.

You should expect to learn and grow and change during your time at school. 4. As the term progresses, realize things will change for both of you. Be comfortable dealing with things that unexpectedly come up, setting new rules, and being flexible to your changing environment.

Follow the Golden Rule.

    In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities (名人) and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight.

A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2018?

Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said.

Why are these short videos – which are rarely longer than a few minutes – so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. Short videos are “just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,” he told CNBC.

These videos – apart from being very convenient – are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue.

The sense of community that users of short video app get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” them. “It’s really cool … because I think as social creators that’s what we all are,” she added.

Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live.

However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams. Among them is viewers’ ability to interact while remaining anonymous.

However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds.

1.The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being _____”.

A.changeable B.steady

C.promising D.violent

2.According to Lisa Koshy, short videos are very popular because _____________.

A.they are very convenient

B.they help people kill time

C.they provide a sense of community

D.they allow people to express themselves

3.What can we learn about social media from the text?

A.The information from social media is highly reliable.

B.When it comes to social media, people know short videos the best.

C.People can’t communicate with each other without social media.

D.There is still much room for social media to make improvement.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Rapid Development of Social Media

B.Key Social Media Trends ruling 2018

C.Short Videos Taking the World by Storm

D.Live Streaming—New Feature of Social Media

    Birds in eastern North America are picking up the pace along their yearly migratory (迁移的) paths. The reason, according to researchers, is rising temperatures due to climate change.

Using migration information collected in eBird, a citizen science program database containing 10 years’ worth of observations from amateur birdwatchers, assistant professor of biology Allen Hurlbert, Ph.D., and his team analyzed when 18 different species of birds arrived at various points across their migration journeys.

Pushing migration earlier in the year could negatively affect birds over the long term, Hurlbert said. “Timing of bird migration is something critical for the overall health of bird species,” he said. “They have to time it right so they can balance arriving on breeding (繁殖) grounds after there’s no longer a risk of severe winter conditions. If they get it wrong, they may die or may not produce as many young.”

Hurlbert said, the speed at which a species migrates is the biggest influence on how strongly it responds to increasing temperatures. Slow migrators were the most adaptable to changes. Additionally, the length of the migration path affects how quickly birds move from one location to another.

“It makes sense that if you take your time to move north, you’re sort of checking out the surroundings around you,” he said. “If the conditions seem too cold, you can decide there’s no point in moving on that day. Species that tended to advance quickly, as well as those migrating from greater distances, such as Central or South America, were less able to adapt to temperature changes.”

However, being a slow traveler does not free a species from all climate change-induced migration challenges. Because they stay in one spot longer, such birds have heavier habitat and food requirements, making them more dependent upon the resources that are available along their paths. That reliance could become a greater problem if climate projections for the next 50 years to 75 years hold true, Hurlbert said. Climatologists predict the Northeast will continue to warm at a faster pace than the Southeast, potentially forcing slow migrators to move even slower and put greater difficulty on their migratory routes.

1.The rising temperatures led to _______________.

A.the speed-up of birds’ migration

B.the weakness of the birds’ physical health

C.the birds’ less demand for food

D.the variation of breeding grounds

2.According to Hurbert, wrong timing of bird migration can lead to ___________.

A.a risk of wrong migration paths B.change in life habit

C.a lack of natural resources D.decrease in bird population

3.What is the most important factor in adapting to climate change for birds?

A.The cycle of migration.

B.Migration speed.

C.Their local habitat.

D.The temperature along the migratory path.

4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Climatologists’ prediction.

B.Climate changes’ bad effects.

C.Challenges of slow migrators’ migration.

D.Changes of birds’ migratory routes.

    A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was filled with anger. “Do you know what you and I are?” she demanded. Before I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. Asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “Do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a mother.” “We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman. “And what is your occupation?” she asked. What made me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused, her ball-point pen frozen in mid air, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words.

“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your field?”

Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most jobs and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money.”

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistants—ages 13, 7, and 3. And upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program. I felt successful!

Motherhood...what a glorious career, especially when there is a title on the door.

1.The purpose of Emily’s story is to_______________.

A.prove that being a housewife is shameful

B.show how angry Emily was with the author

C.tell readers that Emily had no work in reality

D.introduce the topic of “motherhood” as a job

2.On hearing the title of the author’s occupation, the clerk felt ______.

A.bored and disappointed B.surprised and curious

C.satisfied and respectful D.interested and thrilled

3.What do you know about the author’s family?

A.Her daughters are all involved in a child-development program.

B.Her family is supported by her work as a Research Associate.

C.She has four daughters and the youngest is six months old.

D.There are at most five members in her family.

4.The manner of speaking in which the author writes the text is ______.

A.indifferent B.cautious

C.objective D.humorous

    The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 1. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 2.

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

4. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 5. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C. Everyone was new to the network once.

D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

    You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen.

“You is IN,” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. “She is active and mature (成熟的) because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies,  to books on art,  to movies. We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes.”

You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker. “I’ve built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10,” she explained.

But for You, watching isn’t enough. Last year, while in Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school.

“I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films,” she said. So she wrote a campus (校园 ) story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English. “I played one of the leading roles， actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every single day during the SARS holidays,” she recalled. The movie finally became a big hit on campus, earning You a strong reputation (名气) as a DV movie director.

But this is not the only field she wants to master. Despite being a science student,  You likes art, literature and fashion design very much.

“There are people who can be artists，there are people who edit books, and there are people who become film producers. But I just hope to mix all the things up!” she said. “There is an old saying I believe: Chance favours only the prepared mind.”

    Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475－1564，意大利文艺复兴时期著名雕刻家、画家、建筑师) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (害怕) and use their computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3. All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer virus is ready to cause damages (破坏) on that day.

What’s a computer virus then? Why do people get so afraid of it?

A computer virus is, in fact, a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad. It is called a virus because, like any real-life viruses such as AIDs virus, it reproduces itself. And when these programs are run, the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.

The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist’s birthday comes around, and then it will wake up to do very bad things like destroying you files (毁坏文档) . So next time when you turn on your computer, look out for computer viruses!

1.The Italian artist Michelangelo ____________.

A.was born six centuries ago B.was born on March 3, 1475

C.died six centuries ago D.died on March 3, 1564

2.Why are computer users full of fear on March 3? Because _________.

A.it is the birthday of a famous Italian artist.

B.a kind of computer virus will come on that day

C.a deadly computer virus called “the Michelangelo virus” will wake up and then damages that day.

    Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.

    As long as there have been exams, students have found ways to cheat. Today the correct answers are just a few taps away on a smart phone. So countries have come up with new ways to stop the funny business. Some use metal detectors, surveillance (监控) cameras, and mobile phone jammers (干扰器).1.

Cheating in high school leaving exams got so bad in Mauritania and Algeria that this year the authorities turned off the Internet for the entire country. Algeria did so for at least an hour during tests (which last about a week).2.Other countries, such as Iraq, Uzbekistan and Ethiopia, have for years been shutting down the Internet during exam time.

In each country students are under high pressure to do well in the tests, which often determine whether they can continue their education at a good university.3.But high marks are rare. In Algeria only around half of students passed the exams in recent years. In Mauritania the rate is much lower.

4.Darrell West of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, estimates that in 2015-2016 Internet shutdowns ordered by governments cost countries at least $2.4bn. 5.

A.Turning off the Internet is expensive.

B.Teachers try to help — in their own way.

C.Others have taken a more severe measure.

D.A splendid grade may mean a scholarship abroad.

E.Mauritania cut access from morning until evening on exam days.

F.For that kind of money, countries could even improve their schools.

G.With so many students cheating electronically, governments are taking extreme steps.

    Medical developments and discoveries often provide the best things for controversies (争论).This is because whenever a new discovery or theory is proposed, there is always disagreement. Only via objective scientific evidence can such arguments be cleared. But, as is often the case, a clear solution is not instantly found. However, once the technology catches up with the area of the discovery, it shows exactly how valid the theory is. Since this is a slow process and can take years, the development of controversies is unavoidable.

Over the years, various such controversies have been developed, examined, and either rejected, or proved right for the good of mankind. Now read the following examples.

Firstly, cancer was largely regarded as an incurable disease, since its exact cause was unknown. Later, professors and doctors came up with various theories regarding the cause. Some claimed it was the result of chemical processes, while others believed it was a sort of poison. After a few decades, a doctor proposed that cancer was caused by the inhalation (吸入) of pollutants, in the form of smoke, gas, etc. His claim was rejected by many researchers and doctors. However, due to various scientific studies, this claim is now clearly common knowledge, though there may be other causes.

Many people worry that the use of cell phones can cause cancer. Recent studies suggest that this common threat is actually quite true. Numerous studies indicate that the long usage of cell phones (at least an hour per day) increases the risk of developing brain tumors.

After the discovery of X-rays, they were widely used, from doctors' clinics to shoe stores to see the fit of shoes. People thought they could offer the benefit of visualizing the skeleton (骨骼) of a person without causing any danger to the person. However, in 1956, the National Academy of Science reported the harmful effects of these rays on the human body, and the practice was then given up. Presently, we all know that exposure to X-rays may lead to radiation poisoning, tissue breakdown, and even death.

1.What may stop the scientific evidence of a theory being found quickly?

A.Agreement among scientists. B.The lack of professional researchers.

C.Technological limitations. D.The lack of motivation for investigating.

2.Different scientific studies have proved that _________.

A.cancer is not an incurable disease. B.cancer is caused by chemical processes.

C.air pollution is becoming more serious. D.air pollution is one of the causes of cancer.

3.How is the passage mainly developed?

A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By following time order. D.By making classifications.

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To remove people’s misunderstanding of medicine.

B.To report the most recent medical development.

C.To find good solutions to medical problems.

D.To stress the development of controversies.

    Christina Horsten and Felix Zeltner tried not to panic when they were hit with a $400 rent increase on their Park Slope apartment in 2016, and realized they would have to move for the second time in two years. Instead of feeling intimidated by the unexpected event, they hit upon an unconventional idea: Why not move to a new neighborhood every month for a year?

At first, things went remarkably well. They found their next apartment, a beautiful apartment in Chinatown. The next months brought stops in Staten Island and Harlem. As September approached, their next place to live proved difficult to find. When their Harlem lease (租约) ended, they took a road trip, then fell for a false advertisement in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, when an apartment they found advertised online wasn't actually available to rent. And eventually they got their money back through Paypal. “That was rock bottom,” Ms. Horsten said.

Over the rest of the year, they spent time in a townhouse in Mott Haven, as well as apartments in Chelsea, the East Village, Hell’s Kitchen, and Williamsburg. “In the end, we were like, ‘Why should we even stop doing this?’ ”Ms. Horsten said. But then a lease takeover on Listings Project caught their attention: a two-bedroom apartment atop an Upper West Side townhouse.

A second daughter, Lily, was born in January. And with a newborn, they have no intention of moving again anytime soon. Still, many aspects of their adventure have remained with them. “In the same way that we’ve tried to keep minimalism (极简主义) in our life, we try to stay in touch with all the people we’ve met,” Ms. Horsten said.“We realized it was a lifelong project to try to get to know NewYork City,” she added. But there is one member of the household eagerly waiting for a repeat: their 4-year-old daughter Emma.“ I think she loved it the most,” Ms. Horsten said.“At all the places we stayed, she found things I never noticed: children’s books, a dollhouse, a drum set. Even now, she’s like,‘When are we moving to a new home?’ And we’re like,‘We kind of like it here.’ ”

1.What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph1 mean?

A.Frightened. B.Surprised.

C.Embarrassed. D.Confused.

2.While looking for a place to stay, where was the couple nearly cheated?

A.In Chinatown. B.In Sunset Park.

C.In Staten Island. D.In Harlem.

3.What’s the couple’s plan for next month?

A.Buying a townhouse in Brooklyn.

B.Staying in the apartment in the Upper West Side.

C.Donating their daughter’s toys to those living nearby.

D.Looking for a two-bedroom apartment for their newborn.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.East or west, home is best. B.Where to start, where to end.

C.Wherever you are, there is home. D.Another month, another neighborhood.

    Home party marketing originated in America in the early twentieth century. At that time, direct selling had become a very common part of American life. Door-to-door salesmen would travel throughout the country selling anything from sewing machines to cure-all medicines. In 1931, a man named Frank Stanley Beveridge who had dug enough gold by doing this selling started a company called Stanley Home Products. The company sold cleaning supplies to housewives.

Soon after Mr. Beveridge began his company, one of his salesmen began selling Stanley products at home parties. The salesman would organize a Stanley Party where he could give a cleaning demonstration (演示) to a room full of guests. It allowed him to sell Stanley products to many different customers at once, and it proved to be much more effective than standard door-to-door sales. The practice quickly became the main marketing strategy (策略) of Stanley Home Products.

Next, during the 1940s, many housewives started selling Stanley products to make extra money for their families. The job was perfect for housewives because Stanley sellers could work from home and set their own schedules. A single mother named Brownie Wise took full advantage of this opportunity and quickly became one of Stanley’s top sellers.

Not long after that, she started her own direct selling business called Tupperware Patio Parties, which focused on selling a new type of plastic food container, Tupperware, using the Stanley home party system. Wise had realized Tupperware was perfect for the home party system. She could show her customers its patented (专利的) airtight seal, and she could also take away their anxiety about the safety of plastics -a fairly new invention at the time. Wise’ s company was very successful, and it was soon selling more Tupperware than department stores.

Today, many other companies have adopted home party marketing plans. So, next time you leave friend’s party with a hundred dollars’ worth of new Tupperware or jewelry, you can thank Frank Stanley Beveridge and Brownie Wise for your unintended purchase.

1.What do we know about Frank Stanley Beveridge?

A.He was an inventor of many home products.

B.He was an experienced door-to-door salesman.

C.He was the president of Tupperware Patio Parties.

D.He was the first person to organize a Stanley Party.

2.Why was being a home party seller a perfect job for housewives?

A.They liked holding parties at their house.

B.They could make some money quickly.

C.They needed hardly any pre-job training.

D.They could work under a flexible schedule.

3.According to Wise, why was Tupperware perfect for the home party system?

A.It was liked by party organizers. B.It required a demonstration.

C.It sold badly in department stores. D.It was especially made for the system.

4.This text is organized in the pattern of ____________.

A.time and events. B.comparison and contrast.

C.cause and effect. D.argument and explanation.

    Architect Daniel Libeskind is the designer of such global landmarks as New York's One World Trade Center and Berlin's Jewish Museum. In his new book, he reviews his life's work and its inspirations — including these books.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. I love Lewis Carroll; he's a total genius (天才). His two classic works are children's books for grown-ups because they show aspects of the creative mind that we all have but seldom use in adulthood. Inspired by Carroll, I make a habit of trying to learn seven amazing things before breakfast.

Ulysses by James Joyce. Joyce once said that if Dublin were destroyed, you could recreate the entire city from this novel. You can't do urban planning without Ulysses because it is a labyrinth (迷宫) you can never leave.

In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. Proust's great novel is really a book of reflections about how architecture — our living spaces — creates a blueprint (蓝图) for our dreams, our desires, our emotions, and our memories. Where we have lived, what we have eaten, and what kind of cups we use — all of those aspects are examined here in minute detail.

Emily Dickinson's Herbarium by Emily Dickinson. From childhood onward, Dickinson collected, pressed, and classified the plants she grew in her garden in Amherst. Through the pictures in this book, you can see how her poetry — all her symbols, all her metaphors (隐喻), the colors she mentions — mirrors nature. You don't even have to read her poetry to see what a great artist she was.

1.Which of the following books is set in Dublin?

A.Ulysses. B.In Search of Lost Time.

C.Through the Looking-Glass. D.Emily Dickinson's Herbarium.

2.Whose book has pictures of various plants?

A.James Joyce's. B.Emily Dickinson's.

C.Marcel Proust's. D.Lewis Carroll's.

3.What can be learned about the books mentioned in the text?

C.They offer inspirations for Daniel Libeskind. D.They focus on the power of nature.

Two years before，My sister and I got a chance to take a bike trip. The journey was really hard, especial in the mountains. At first，our leg were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen to ride bicycles? That's how we looked like. Along the way, children dressing in long wool coats stopped to look us. We found it was so cold that my water bottles freezes. To climb the mountain was hard work and as we looked around, we were surprised to see beautiful lakes shining like glass in the setting sun. What a unforgettable experience!

    Teenagers have their own thoughts and act like they know almost anything. However, in reality they don’t have much experience. So it’s not easy when you have to deal with these difficult teenagers. 1.

1. Keep calm

It is easy for difficult teenagers to make you lose control and act improperly. 2. When you feel angry or challenged by a teen, take a deep breath and count slowly to ten, and then deal with the problem after you become calm again.

2. Set up clear boundaries（界限）

Since most teenagers want to experience greater independence and selfhood, some will challenge you in order to test their power. It’s very important to set boundaries. 3. The first boundary in almost any situation is that you will be treated with respect. In addition to respect, there may also be a list of family, classroom, or team ground rules.

3. Pay attention to the leader

Many teachers know that when they face a group of difficult students in class, it’s not necessary to deal with every student. 4. Another management skill is to separate challenging persons so that they’re less likely to form a group and feed off each other.

4. Show understanding

5. Say to yourself with some humor and then get on with your business.

A. The first rule is to keep calm.

B. Below are keys to deal with them.

C. Make use of useful communication.

D. At worst this may make you the other side.

E. When a teenager is in difficulty, show understanding.

F. Useful boundaries are those which are fair and reasonable.

G. Usually, by dealing with the leader, the rest of the group will follow.
