Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities, The world opens up in ways that matures our vision, gives us a sense of responsibility and gratitude. Connor Thomson had just started college and loved being at that phase in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted, yet engage in adult conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. Connor's optimism was striking. There was so much he could do, so much he could become. But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted(分心的) while driving in a Colorado canyon.
Connor's father, David, took it particularly hard. A father sees more than his own traits in his son; he sees greater possibilities than he achieved. Taking that hope away left David feeling aimless. But Connor’s optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father. So David got to work. First , he established the Honor Connor Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in the community. Next, he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting and driving.
David now works with lecturers at various colleges and high schools , ensuring young minds understand how statistically at risk they are when they text and drive. He's become a passionate advocate for preparing young people to drive safely and not subconsciously reach for their phones while they ' re at the wheel. Lt includes a very simple three-part commitment; to not text or use social media while driving, speak out if riding with a driver who is distracted and encourage friends and family to drive phone-free.
While every constructive effort reminds David of the loss he suffered, he is encouraged knowing that more young people with so much to offer the world will be around to do good. “I get to be a part of what Connor would have done,”says David.
24、Why does the author mention Coming of age?
A.To display Connor's optimism. B.To convey his regret for Connor
C.To offer the family background. D.To show Connor's academic talent.
25、Which of the following can best describe David?
A.Optimistic and helpful. B.Self-centered but determined.
C.Thoughtful and daring. D.Cool-minded but reasonable.
26、What does David now focus on?
A.Managing his own company.
B. Keeping the three-part promise.
C. Saving people from distracted driving.
D.Keeping students focused on school
27、What does the text mainly talk about?
A.How a death could affect a whole family.
B. What lesson we can get from an accident.
C.A young man's life claimed by careless driving.
D. One father turning his loss into helping others.
People spend about a third of their lives sleeping. That might sound like time wasted, but it's not. Evenin a deep sleep, the brain is busy. It's hard at work sorting memories , cleansing itself of harmful wastes ancmore. This time of rest also helps the body build stronger bones and heal wounds faster. Experts recommend that teens get about nine hours of sleep each night. But surveys show that only about one-third of 18-year-olds now report getting at least seven hours of sleep per night. As teens go through puberty(青春期)，they become natural night owls.Their bodies don’t release the hormone melatonin(褪黑激素)-which tells the brain it's time for bed -- until later at night. This shifts their circadian rhythm( 昼夜节律such that sleep comes most easily between 11 p. m. and 8 a. m. But most public middle and high schools in the United States start before 8: 30 a. m. And that's a major problem.
Another reason for teens’ widespread sleep shortage may be screens. Survey data from 370,000 U.S. teens has shown an increase in trading sleep for screentime. But losing sleep to screens isn't just a matter of choosing to stay up later. The light emitted by phones, laptops and other devices makes the brain resist sleepiness. That's because the glow contains blue wavelengths also found in sunlight. This can deceive the brain into thinking it’s daytime.
Lack of sleep has been linked to unhealthy eating and feeling more anxious. Sleep-deprived people also have higher risk of feeling depressed, using alcohol or drugs, or getting in car accidents. Research suggests that people who use screens in bed have a harder time nodding off. New LED tech could lessen that effect. But in the meantime, experts suggest putting away electronics at least 30 minutes before bed, “It might be hard to quit a lively group chat or save the next episode of a show until tomorrow , but turn off and turn in. Your body and brain will thank you. ”
28、What does the first paragraph imply?
A.There is more for the brain to deal with.
B.The brain is the busiest during sleeping time.
C.Sleep is vital to our health and wellbeing.
D.Many are suffering sleep-related problems.
29、What mainly causes teenagers’ inadequate sleep?
A. Early school start times. B. The circadian rhythm.
C.Their tight timetable. D.Their free lifestyles.
30、What does “ deceive”underlined prohably mean?
A. Talk. B.Mislead C.Threaten. D.Transform.
31、What does the author want readers to do in the last paragraph?
A. Avoid any digital device. B.Buy new-tech products.
C.Maintain a good mood. D.Cut down screentime.
Computers are closely linked to education today and the Internet can offer any help you want. But for now experts say, don't throw away your books. Researchers in Spain and Israel took a close look at 54 studies comparing digital and print reading. Their 2018 study involved more than 171 .000 readers. “ Students often think they learn more from reading online. When tested, though, it turns out that they actually learned less than when reading in print, says the researcher.
Reading is not natural, explains Maryanne Wolf, a neuroscientist who specializes in how the brain reads. We learn to talk by listening to those around us. It's pretty automatic. But learning to read takes real work. It’s because the brain has no special network of cells just for reading. To understand text, the brain borrows networks that evolved(进化) to do other things. This is similar to how you might adapt a tool for some new use. For example, a coat hanger is great for putting your clothes in the closet. But if a blueberry rolls under the refrigerator, you might straighten out the coat hanger and use it to reach under the fridge and pull out the fruit. You've taken a tool made for one thing and adapted it for something new. That's what the brain does when you read.
It's great that the brain is so flexible. It's one reason we can learn to do so many new things. But that can be a problem when you make a switch from your reading material to another type of it. Namely, when we read online , the brain creates a different set of connections between cells from the ones it uses for reading in print. It basically adapts the same tool again for the new task. This is like if you took a coat hanger and instead of straightening it out to fetch a blueberry, you twisted it into a hook to unclog a drain(疏通下水道).Same original tool, two very different forms.
32、What can be known from the 2018 study?
A.Students can learn more from online materials.
B. Reading in print leads to a better understanding.
C.The Internet counts a lot in gathering information
D. Fewer people prefer reading books at present time.
33、What is the writing purpose of Paragraph 2?
A. To show what the brain takes to read.
B.To illustrate how the brain evolves
C.To introduce a coat hanger's functions.
D.To outline the features of reading
34、What might cause a problem for the brain's flexibility?
A. Different types of texts. B. Basic forms of the tools.
C. Different formats of texts. D.Interpersonal connections.
35、What is the best title for the text?
A.Always Bear Books in Mind
B.Try to Be a Reasonable Reader
C.How to Enhance Your Reading Comprehension?
D.Learn Better from Reading on Screen or on Paper?
三、七选五
36、Every day, a sea of decisions stretches before us. It's impossible to make a perfect choice every time, But there is one particularly effective technique to improve our chances: critical thinking.
Prepare your question.
①________For example, if you're wondering whether to go for fitness, there are many factors that will cloud your reasons. But, if you know clearly what you can get by body-shaping, that’ll help you decidewhether it really suits your needs
Gather your information.
There's lots of it out there, so having a clear idea of your question will help you determine what's relevant. If you're trying to decide on a diet to improve your nutrition, you may ask an expert for their advice ,or seek other people's opinions. ②________
Consider the implications.
Imagine you've chosen a business based on his promise to make it cheaper for drivers to fill up on gas. At first glance , that seems great.③______If gasoline use is less restricted by cost, this could also cause a huge surge in air pollution -- an unintended consequence that's important to think about.
④___________
Ask yourself why so many people are drawn to countless travel trips or destinations. Even if you disagree with everything that travel agencies say, exploring the viewpoints might explain why some routes that don’t seem valid to you appeal to others. This will allow you to explore alternatives , evaluate your own choices, and ultimately help you make more informed decisions.
This above process is just one tool, and it certainly won' t remove difficult decisions from our lives. ⑤____________And, if enough of us use it, it has the power to make the world a more reasonable place.
A.Explore other points of view.
B. Apply the information collected.
C.In other words , get to know what you're looking for.
D.Then what about the long-term environmental effects?
E. But it can help us increase the number of positive choices we make.
F. Therefore , ask yourself about what interests you most and what is needed.
G.It helps you weigh different options , moving you closer to a wiser decision.

It was just past midnight. The stars were shining across the sky. Nicholas Bostic, a 38-year-old driver was still out on his evening pizza delivery shift. With his favorite music on, he enjoyed the soft wind kissing his face. As he drove past a two-story house around a street corner, he was shocked at the frightening sight; It was on fire! He stopped his car and rushed over to assess the situation and to determine if anyone might be trapped inside. He reached for his phone to dial 911, but realized he left it at home. He didn't hear sirens(警报)in the distance. Nor did he see any bystanders dialing the fire department. Nicholas feared the home's sleeping occupants might not wake up in time to move to safety.
With no time to waste , he made the courageous decision to enter the home on his own without protective gear(护具).He gained entry through the back door. He rushed upstairs, yelling “fire!”throughout the home. The oldest child, Seionna, heard his screams and woke up. She woke up her younger sister and a friend whohad stayed the night.

解析：W: Thank you all for coming today to hear about the new recycling program on campus. Right now, all recycling is voluntary. The recycling we've planned is really a three-part program-sorting, collecting and distributing. The first part, sorting, is the hardest to get people to do. Most people don't like to spend time separating their trash. And this is usually where most recycling programs fail. However, we are determined to make our program work. Instead of seeing the usual brown trash cans all over the campus, from on you'll see trash cans of four different colors. Pink cans are for paper, green cans are for glass, blue ones are for metal and white ones are for all other waste. Just remember: pink—paper, green—glass, blue-metal, and white—other waste. After the trash is sorted, it needs to be collected, and then distributed to the correct recycling facilities. That's where all of you come in. Since this program is still a volunteer program, we are asking students to give a little of their time to the project, probably no more than six hours per person each week. And again, your job would be to collect the sorted trash and take it to the different centers for each type of trash. If you are willing to help us with the program, by giving six hours a week, please write your name and phone number on this note.

Dear Olive,
Knowing you're interested in reusable textbooks in Chinese schools, now I'll tell you something about it.
As you know, some books can be used only for one term-a waste of resources and an unnecessary family burden. Thus, many schools have decided to recycle textbooks. Admittedly, such a small move can save millions of trees every year, generating numerous economic benefits. Meanwhile, many students have to learn how to take notes and cherish books. Most importantly, their awareness of environmental protection can thus be enhanced.
Hope my words can be helpful.
Yours.
Li Hua

Possible version
Without hesitation, Nicholas rushed back into the now flame-filled home. He rushed up the stairs and madly searched for the missing girl room by room. Nicholas finally heard a faint cry. Covering his mouth and nose with his shirt, he followed the voice through the dense smoke. Once he found her, he held her up and attempted to make his way out. He couldn't see anything except a glimmer of light coming from the upstairs bedroom, so he quickly decided to escape from the bedroom window.
As flames shot at his feet, he broke the window's glass with his bare hand. He covered the young girl in blankets to protect her from the flames. Holding Kaylani tightly, he jumped out of the second-story window. As he landed on the ground, he turned to his side and broke Kaylani's fall with his own body. People cheered for their narrow escape. The little girl was safe and sound but Nicholas was hurt from the fall. Kaylani's parents felt incredibly grateful to Nicholas and later the city honored Nicholas for his deed, saying his courageous and extraordinary actions exemplify the value of bravery.
