As mobile phones 20 , they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone, is worse than using a larger phone with 21 buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find 22 with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time 23 computers, video games and mobile phone. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could 24 in terrible pain. So, it’s time to put down your phone and take up your book.

Widow (寡妇) Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going to school.
The hardest things for me were eating my meals at the table and sleeping in a soft bed. I missed my old life. Sometimes I ran away and spent a few days in the forest. I felt free there and I was happy. I fished and hunted all day. At night, I slept under the stars.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning, I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school, I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left heel! Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!”
That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit (精灵) inside the ball that could answer people’s questions about the future.
“I have two questions, Jim,” I said. “What is Pap going to do?And is Pap going to stay?” Jim whispered to the ball and rolled it on the floor. Then he put his ear next to it and listened.
“Your father doesn’t know what he’s going to do yet,” Jim said. “Maybe he’ll stay or maybe he’ll go.”
I picked up my candle and went back to the house.I crept up (蹑手蹑脚) the stairs because it was late and I didn’t want to wake Widow Douglas up.The door of my bedroom was open. I went in. A man with dirty black hair and a long black beard (络腮胡子) was sitting on the bed. It was Pap. I looked at him and he looked at me. Neither of us spoke for several minutes. Then he said, “Where did you get those new clothes?”
“Widow Douglas bought them for me.” “Why did she do that? You aren’t her son.”
31．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A．What Huck’s life was like when he lived with Widow Douglas.
B．Why Huck didn’t like going to school in those months.
C．What the hardest things for Huck were in Widow Douglas’ house.
D．Why Huck sometimes ran away and spent a few days in the forest.
32．How did Huck feel when he saw Pap’s footprints?
A．Happy but nervous. B．Relaxed and calm
C．Angry and sad. D．Surprised and afraid.
33．Why did Huck go to see Jim?
A．Because Jim could answer his questions.
B．Because Jim’s ball knew where his father was.
C．Because he wanted to know where he could keep his money.
D．Because he believed Jim’s ball could tell what his father wanted to do.

Since humans sent the first satellite (卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment (实验) at the Tiangong space station makes a big step.
Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiments began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall rice variety have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the short rice variety have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30.
Although there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟的) plant producing new seeds.
Such food—growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated (突变的) seed, thanks to microgravity, lack of air and cosmic rays. The seeds can then produce higher yields (产量) on Earth.
For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They’re planted every year in fields that cover tens of millions of hectares (公顷).
According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”. They are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle (生长周期) shortened from 13 months to 9 months.
34．How high did the short rice variety grow from July 29 to Aug 30?
A．5 cm. B．25 cm. C．30 cm. D．35 cm.
35．What does “this one” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．The short rice variety. B．The tall rice variety.
C．The rice experiments on Shenzhou XIV. D．Other rice experiments in space.
36．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Rice has grown successfully at Tiangong space station.
B．Sending seeds to space can solve all the food problems.
C．People can eat space food from space seeds all over the world now.
D．Space plants with a grown cycle are shortened to thirteen months.
37．Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A．A diary. B．A novel. C．A fashion magazine. D．A news report.

Travelling around the world is great. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be hard. Here is something that helps to get you started.
How to do it? To buy a RTW air ticket that uses one airline alliance (联盟) can save you a lot of money. Any air line is possible, but knowing how the RTW booking system works will make your trip cheaper. For example, the Star Alliance offers a RTW ticket with 15 stops at most.
There are rules: you must follow one direction (east or west); end your trip in the country where you start; and it will be better if you book all of your flights before leaving, though you can change them later (which may produce extra charges).
When to go? The weather will never be ideal in all of your stops. So, make it clear what you want to do most and research conditions there. If a Himalaya hike is your most important aim, do not land in Nepal windy season; if you want to swim with whale sharks off the coast of Western Australia, be there between April and July. Then accept that you will be in some places where the weather isn’t suitable for sightseeing.
Where to go? The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets are those between a few big cities, for example London—Bangkok—Singapore—Sydney—LA．If you want to fly to more unusual places (Baku—Kinshasa—Paramaribo, anyone?), prices will climb. The price of the ticket is based on the total distance covered or the number of countries visited.
If the cost matters to you, spend more time in less expensive countries. Your daily outgoings will be far higher in Europe and North America than in South-East Asia. Indonesia and India are very cheap.
Pay attention: Turn to an expert (专家) before you book: you may have a way in mind but an experienced RTW flight booker will know which way works best and costs least—it could mean big savings.
If you do not take one of your booked flights (say, by chance, you decide to travel by land from Bangkok to Singapore rather than fly it) your airline is likely to cancel all the following flights.
A 54 to a Round-the-World Trip
How to do it
To buy a RTW air ticket using one airline alliance is a most money-saving way.
To follow one direction and start and finish in the 55 country.
To book all flights before you leave.
When to go
Research weather conditions before leaving.
Accept you may happen to reach your destination(目的地) at the right time.
Where to go
Cheap cities like London and Sydney.
Unusual places like Baku which cost 56 .
What to suggest and
57
Asking an expert before you book.
58 to take one of your booked flights may lead to the cancel of all the following flights.

参考答案：
1．B
【详解】句意：放轻松！我们总是害怕我们不懂的东西。这很正常。
考查what引导的宾语从句。that引导宾语从句时，无意义；what什么；how如何；whether是否。介词of后接宾语从句。根据“we don’t understand”可知从句中缺少动词understand的宾语，可用what来充当。故选B。
2．C
【详解】句意：为了学好英语，你再怎么注意发音也不为过。
考查情态动词。shouldn’t不应该；mustn’t禁止；can’t不能；needn’t不需要。固定短语can’t...too much“再怎么样也不为过”，故选C。
3．A

6．B
【详解】句意：船长说：“我们几乎不知道接下来会发生什么，因为我们从来没有去过这个岛。”
考查副词辨析。easily容易地；hardly几乎不；completely完全；mainly主要地。根据“since we have never been to the island”可知因为从来没有去过这个岛，所以几乎不知道接下来会发生什么，故选B。

【详解】句意：——Susan什么时候会回来？——她在电话里告诉我说她会在十二月初回来。
考查宾语从句的时态。句中that引导宾语从句，根据“told”可知，主句时态为一般过去时，因此从句部分也应用过去相应的时态。结合问句“When will Susan come back?”可知，“她回来”应是将来的事情，因此从句部分应用过去将来时，其结构为：would+动词原形。故选B。

Widow (寡妇) Douglas sent me to school every day. I didn’t like going there at first because learning was very difficult. But when I could read and write a bit, I didn’t mind going to school.
The hardest things for me were eating my meals at the table and sleeping in a soft bed. I missed my old life. Sometimes I ran away and spent a few days in the forest. I felt free there and I was happy. I fished and hunted all day. At night, I slept under the stars.
The months passed and winter came. The weather got cold. One morning, I woke up and there was snow on the ground. On my way to school, I saw some footprints outside the widow’s house. There was a cross on the heel (脚后跟) of the left one. My heart jumped. Only one person wore boots with a cross on the left heel! Pap!
“He’s heard about my money,” I thought. “And he wants it!”
That night I went to see Jim. Jim had a magic ball made of animal hair. There was a spirit (精灵) inside the ball that could answer people’s questions about the future.
“I have two questions, Jim,” I said. “What is Pap going to do?And is Pap going to stay?” Jim whispered to the ball and rolled it on the floor. Then he put his ear next to it and listened.
“Your father doesn’t know what he’s going to do yet,” Jim said. “Maybe he’ll stay or maybe he’ll go.”
I picked up my candle and went back to the house.I crept up (蹑手蹑脚) the stairs because it was late and I didn’t want to wake Widow Douglas up.The door of my bedroom was open. I went in. A man with dirty black hair and a long black beard (络腮胡子) was sitting on the bed. It was Pap. I looked at him and he looked at me. Neither of us spoke for several minutes. Then he said, “Where did you get those new clothes?”
“Widow Douglas bought them for me.” “Why did she do that? You aren’t her son.”

C．Angry and sad. D．Surprised and afraid.

Since humans sent the first satellite (卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment (实验) at the Tiangong space station makes a big step.
Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiments began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall rice variety have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the short rice variety have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30.
Although there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟的) plant producing new seeds.
Such food—growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated (突变的) seed, thanks to microgravity, lack of air and cosmic rays. The seeds can then produce higher yields (产量) on Earth.
For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. They’re planted every year in fields that cover tens of millions of hectares (公顷).
According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”. They are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle (生长周期) shortened from 13 months to 9 months.
34．How high did the short rice variety grow from July 29 to Aug 30?
A．5 cm. B．25 cm. C．30 cm. D．35 cm.
35．What does “this one” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．The short rice variety. B．The tall rice variety.
C．The rice experiments on Shenzhou XIV. D．Other rice experiments in space.
36．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Rice has grown successfully at Tiangong space station.
B．Sending seeds to space can solve all the food problems.
C．People can eat space food from space seeds all over the world now.
D．Space plants with a grown cycle are shortened to thirteen months.
37．Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A．A diary. B．A novel. C．A fashion magazine. D．A news report.

Travelling around the world is great. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be hard. Here is something that helps to get you started.
How to do it? To buy a RTW air ticket that uses one airline alliance (联盟) can save you a lot of money. Any air line is possible, but knowing how the RTW booking system works will make your trip cheaper. For example, the Star Alliance offers a RTW ticket with 15 stops at most.
There are rules: you must follow one direction (east or west); end your trip in the country where you start; and it will be better if you book all of your flights before leaving, though you can change them later (which may produce extra charges).
When to go? The weather will never be ideal in all of your stops. So, make it clear what you want to do most and research conditions there. If a Himalaya hike is your most important aim, do not land in Nepal windy season; if you want to swim with whale sharks off the coast of Western Australia, be there between April and July. Then accept that you will be in some places where the weather isn’t suitable for sightseeing.
Where to go? The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets are those between a few big cities, for example London—Bangkok—Singapore—Sydney—LA．If you want to fly to more unusual places (Baku—Kinshasa—Paramaribo, anyone?), prices will climb. The price of the ticket is based on the total distance covered or the number of countries visited.
If the cost matters to you, spend more time in less expensive countries. Your daily outgoings will be far higher in Europe and North America than in South-East Asia. Indonesia and India are very cheap.
Pay attention: Turn to an expert (专家) before you book: you may have a way in mind but an experienced RTW flight booker will know which way works best and costs least—it could mean big savings.
