Living and dealing with kids can be a tough (棘手的，难办的) job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be    10    tougher.

If I have learned anything in my last 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree    11    when you get along. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart (疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not    12    them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the care about another. Even    13    you just say “Hi,” and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

Have you noticed the meaning of the word “communication” in a dictionary? It would say the exchange of ideas    14    of communication: a letter or message. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know    15    you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make    16    feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, you'd ask them    17    to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.

This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home    18    midnight after the fireworks, but she was late getting back. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was    19   , they weren’t as mad and let the thing go. Communication was the key factor here.

Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.

10．A．lot B．little C．very D．even

    My 20-year-old daughter, Ann, living in Philadelphia, sent me a message the other day. “I need socks and shampoo.” She was actually asking me to prepare those things for her, but I thought she was playing a cell phone game. I decide not to be a helicopter (直升机) mother, and I prefer a more hands-off way.

But that’s not what I see at Drexel University where I teach. Most of my students talk to their parents three times a day or more. One student’s mother called her son because she didn’t hear from him for a few days. The son was in the library so he whispered (小声说) “hello”. The mother doubted that he was drinking, and kept on asking him to take a picture of himself. Holding a newspaper with that day’s date, the son had to take a photo of himself and sent it to his mother in order to prove that he wasn’t telling a lie.

I always think that my students should depend on themselves. I tell them that I will not check whether they miss classes and finish homework or not, because they are independent(独立的) thinkers and they should be responsible(负责的) for their own choices. But their parents don’t treat them like me. I know a mother. She puts her eyes on her son too much. Another mother checks her son’s credit card daily. However. I never do that. My daughters only come to me with important things when they need my decision. I think that’s because I give them space.

Many parents try to find if their kids are hiding from them. But we have to learn to respect boundaries (界限), even when technology is so powerful now. So I am going to do my best not to be a helicopter parent.

23．The underlined phrase “a helicopter mother” in Paragraph 1 means“________.

A．a mother who treats the child as an independent being

B．a mother who pays close attention to their children

C．a mother who prefers a more hands-off way

D．a mother who gives her children space

24．What does the author think of the mother and her son in Paragraph 2?

A．They are happy with each other B．They respect each other.

C．They care about each other. D．The mom doesn’t trust her son

25．Why does the author mention (提到) different ways of being a mother?

A．To show how responsible those mothers are

B．To show that mothers should make decisions for their children.

C．To show that space is needed for children to become independent

D．To show that some helicopter mothers love their children very much

26．What’s the attitude (态度) of the author towards helicopter parents?

A．Agree. B．Neutral(中立). C．Disagree. D．Unknown.

    A total of 3.41 million people were expected to take part in China’s 2021 national entrance exam for postgraduate(研究生) studies, 0.51 million more than last year, the Department of Education said.

That’s a rise of 17.5 percent, and with a record 8.74 million university students expected to graduate next year, a survey by education website found that growing competition in the job market was the primary reason for the increase. When asked whether postgraduate study would help them find a job, 57 percent of exam applicants(应聘者) said they believed it could make them more competitive in the job market, 42 percent said it would be somewhat helpful, and only 1 percent did not expect it to improve their chances. When asked why they wanted to get a master’s degree(硕士学位), 61 percent of them said it would improve their competitiveness in the job market, 53 percent said they wanted to get a higher degree. 25 percent said they did not like their undergraduate majors(本科专业), and 25 percent said they wanted to wait for a few years before entering the job market.

Zhang Sijia, 22, who studies at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, says, “It’s impossible that I cannot find a job if I enter the job market now, but I think a master’s degree in finance will give me better chances to find a high-paying job,” she said. Many jobs have higher academic(学术的) requirements nowadays. “Almost half my classmates have signed up for the exam, as getting higher degrees has become necessary if you want to find a better job,” Zhang said.

However, the report said students would find it harder to enter for postgraduate studies.

27．How many students took part in China’s 2020 national entrance exam for postgraduate studies?

A．2.9 million. B．3.41 million. C．0.51 million. D．3.92 million.

1.Postgraduate studies may help them find a well-paid job

2.Some of them don’t want to enter the job market right now

3.More than half of them don’t like their undergraduate majors

4.Nowadays many jobs require higher academic studies.

A．123 B．124 C．234 D．134

29．From Paragraph 3, we know that Zhang Sijia wants a master’s degree because ________.

A．she wants to take part in the exam with her classmates

B．she wants to study at the University of Science and Technology

C．she can’t find a job without a master’s degree

D．she can find better chances to get a high-paying job

D．it’s easier to pass the entrance exam for postgraduate studies

    Shadow puppet play(皮影戏), also called “shadow play”, is a traditional Chinese art of storytelling. Dramas were played out in screen or walls for thousands of years to entertain(娱乐) and teach. It was very popular in many parts of China during the Tang(618-907) and Song(960-1279) periods.

Shadow puppets are made of hard leather(皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Different colors are used to show good and bad of person in the drama. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. They’re shown on the white screen through the light.

During a shadow puppet play, the players stand behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. The players hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different roles.

Now because of TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. But the basic principle(原理) and ways of shadow performance played an important role in the invention of the modern movie and the development of the movies and cartoons. Nowadays, the Chinese shadow puppet plays have been collected by museums of many countries in the world. It is the treasure in the world culture and art family.

    Five thousand years ago, carrots only grew in Afghanistan (阿富汗) and most were purple. Only a few were orange as they are today! Farmers in the Netherlands (荷兰) were looking for a fruit or vegetable to symbolize their king, William of Orange,  and orange carrots were just what they were looking for—they became the ancestors of all modern carrots.

Many plants only grow in certain places on the earth, often deep in the jungle (丛林). The home of potatoes is in the mountains of the Andes in South America. Bananas come from Papua New Guinea and lemons grow wild in China. But once people real ized that many of these plants were good to eat, they took them far from the places where they grew. Fruit, especially, interested thirsty travellers. Arab businessmen transported different fruits and vegetables around the world, such as oranges, which they took from Asia to remote countries such as Spain. The Spanish returned from South America with many new types of food, including chocolate, pepper and corn.

People often had problems deciding what to do with these new fruits and vegetables, or used them for different purposes from today. Carrots were used not as food but as medicine to protect people from poison (毒药) or even (it was believed) to make people fall in love. The first tomatoes and pineapples were grown not as food but to make the garden look pretty. And many people were worried about potatoes—although they are good for us, their leaves are poisonous. In Germany, people only began eating potatoes when the king ordered that people who did not eat them would have their ears and noses cut off!

Today, we are so used to our different types of food that we don’t think about where they came from. But for each pineapple, potato or carrot we eat, there is a long history!

35．Why did the farmers in the Netherlands prefer orange carrots to purple ones?

A．To serve their king a healthier vegetable. B．To remind people of their king, William of Orange.

C．To have a better harvest(丰收). D．To live a better life.

36．________ played an important part in spreading fruits around the world.

A．Thirsty travelers B．Arab traders C．Spanish traders D．Chinese traders

37．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．People today are used to eating carrots to protect themselves from poison.

B．People would rather use the first tomatoes to decorate(装饰) their garden than eat them.

C．People in Germany didn't begin eating potatoes until the king gave an order.

D．Carrots were even believed to make people fall in love.

38．The structure of the passage may be________.

(1=Paragraph 1 2=Paragraph 2 3=Paragraph 3 4-Paragraph 4)

A．

B．

C．

D．

五、阅读回答问题

    I had never lived in a dorm(寝室) before. Studying in the US gave me this new experience. The dorm I live in is called Village Girls. You need to bring your cleaning things and clothes from your home. But it’s also important to bring things you may find unnecessary, like toys or something you hold dear. You may think it unnecessary, but you’ll find that having something that reminds you of home can help you a lot.

When I first arrived, I only brought those things on the school list. However, there was an empty feeling in my heart, a sense of loneliness. There were no toys to hug at night, nor anything I could look at and be reminded of home. That’s when I realized that though we saw things like toys as unnecessary, we needed them more than anything else.

It is also important to make friends. Though most parents prefer you to find someone with good grades, I think it’s better to choose someone with a good heart. If you’re shy, it is even more important to greet everyone in your dorm. That’s because once you keep yourself away from others, people may think you are cold.

A friend of mine once told me: “No matter how much you’ve grown, you’re still a kid at heart.” I’ve come to realize that it is true. No matter how old we are, our inner (内心的) selves still need love and comfort (安慰). With a friend and a toy in hand, I hope you’ll find joy no matter where you are.

44．Is the writer a girl?

45．In the writer’s opinion, who do you need to choose as your friend?

十、短文语境提示填空

When I was a teenager, I did a six-week summer learning program at a college. It helped kids get a taste of what college is like. We were busy every day. We had classes in the morning and the evenings were 53． with fun activities. So we just had a short break in the afternoons. One afternoon, my friend Claude and I found an old basketball. We didn’t know 54． it belonged to, but we decided to put it back after we played it. We went to an outdoor basketball playground for 55．, just the two of us.

At the time, Claude was taller and he was also 56． at basketball than me. I fell behind fast. I made up my mind to catch up with him, though, so I drove hard to the basket—and missed it! The ball bounced off the rim（从篮筐弹回）and I jumped 57． to catch it. Just as I was about to catch it, I saw an elbow（手肘）right above my face.

As Claude caught the ball, his elbow came down hard, right into my eye. I saw stars everywhere The pain was terrible. Claude kept 58． “sorry” over and over again. I could do nothing but laugh through the pain.

I spent the next few days walking around 59． a black eye, but it was worth it. For years afterward, I got a laugh whenever I told the story and joked about Claude’s elbows of death.

In this life, we all get an elbow to the eye sometimes. Our plans fail. Things work against us. Our ups become downs. 60． these happen, it’s best to face them with laughter and forgiveness（原谅）. In this way, we can turn our pain to joy and we can learn and grow.

Hi, I’m Li Ning. A lot of changes have taken place since I entered Junior 9. Looking back to the past two years, I found my life was unforgettable. In the past, the course was simple and there were many activities. I had a lot of free time. In my free time, I used to take more exercise to lose weight. My life has changed a lot since I became a student of Grade Nine. I have more pressure. I have much homework to do every day. I have less time to do leisure activities. In my spare time, I have to join in the English corner to practice my spoken English.

In order to make my life better, I’ll study harder. I’ll make some plans to make a balance between my life and study. Moreover, I’ll ask my teachers for some advice. I think my life is busy but it is colorful and meaningful.
