There are headaches, coughs, fevers, and other terrible feelings. To help us get better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food to make us feel better. However, some people don't want to get sick at all. So, they get a flu shot before the flu season starts. The flu shot is in fact, a vaccine (疫苗), not usual cold medicine. It will protect them from the flu. The vaccine introduces some of the flu into the body. But don't worry. The flu is dead and won't make you sick. It will teach your body to know it and fight it off in the future, though. Vaccines not only protect you but also protect others. That's because they help stop diseases (疾病) from spreading (扩散) from person to person. When fewer people have the diseases, the chances of getting them go down. Sometimes, the diseases completely go away. Even though vaccines are quite safe, some adults are afraid of them. Their worry is that the vaccines will cause serious side effects (副作用). Vaccines might cause side effects, but they are usually not as terrible as people imagine. For most people, vaccines are  ▲  and make them better. So, they are believable and people want them in their bodies. These days, people are in line for the COVID-19 vaccines and hope they can protect them well!8．What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?   A．The medicine. B．The feeling. C．The flu. D．The disease.9．Which of the following is the main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4?   A．Vaccines protect us from the diseases.B．Vaccines do something bad in our bodies.C．People with vaccines never get any diseases.D．Vaccines can drive all diseases from our bodies.10．What can we put in the  ▲  in the fifth paragraph?   A．brave B．honest C．safe D．interesting11．Why does the writer write this text?   A．To introduce the uses of vaccines.B．To describe the problems by diseases.C．To explain people's fears about vaccines.D．To encourage people to stay away from disease.阅读理解Parents may be surprised at how fast their kids grow up, but a study finds that U. S. teenagers are developing more slowly than those in the past. Scientists at San Diego State University have worked on a study of over 8 million U. S. kids aged 13-19 for 40 years. The findings show that today's teenagers are less responsible(负责任的) and that most of them don't have a part-time job. "The whole development has slowed down. Today's 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past, " said Professor Jean Twenge. "Teenagers are taking fewer risks than those in the past. "Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer time living with their parents instead of renting(租)their own room or apartment. So is that slower development "good" or "bad"? It may depend on how you look at it, the scientists said. "The upside of slower development is that teenagers aren't growing up before they are ready, " said Professor Twenge. "But the downside is that they go to college and into the workplace without as much experience with independence. Today's students may be smart and creative, but they often have trouble with planning, time management (管理) and problem-solving, "added Professor Twenge. One of the reasons for these changes is that today's teenagers would like to spend much time online. They keep on watching videos or playing games on the Internet instead of spending more time with their family and friends in person. Another one is that parents have become much more "child-centric". In fact, parents had better let their children do everything by themselves. They should try their best to make their children become independent as soon as possible. 12．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?   A．The study lasted for about 20 years.B．Teenagers now are more hard-working.C．Teenagers in the past took more risks.D．Today's teenagers don't like slow life.13．Why do today's teenagers grow up slowly?   a. Their parents do too many things for them. b. It's difficult for them to get a part-time job. c. They dislike living in the real world. d. They spend too much time online. A．ab B．bc C．bd D．ad14．Which of the flowing shows the right structure (结构)of the text?  (P＝ Paragraph)  A． B．C． D．15．Which is the best title for the text?   A．A Study on Teenagers in the PastB．Slow Development of U. S. TeenagersC．U. S. Teenagers' Personal DevelopmentD．Different Ideas About Today's Teenagers二、任务型阅读(共1小题, 每小题10分，满分10分)下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合意思的标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. Triangles(三角形) everywhereB. IntroductionC. History of trianglesD. Cardboard todayE. History of cardboardF. Why cardboard is strongMark's science blogHow cardboard is like a bridge　16．     　Hello everyone! Today, I visited a museum and found out a lot of amazing information about cardboard!　17．     　In 1879, a Scottish engineer called Robert Gair invented the cardboard box. He could make a lot of cardboard boxes very quickly, and so for the first time, food companies could use cardboard to hold food. In 1906, the Kellogg company started using very thin cardboard boxes for its cereal. This was the first time that a box had the name and picture of the food on the outside!　18．     　Today, we use cardboard boxes for many different things because cardboard is so strong.　19．     　Do you know why cardboard is so strong? Inside each piece of cardboard here are a lot of triangle. Triangles are really strong: they can carry a lot. Do you sometimes make a house of cards? If you use triangles, it works. If you try it with square shapes, it doesn't work. Try it and see! The triangle shape is the strongest.　20．     　I learned that there are triangle shapes everywhere: in bridges, in houses, on bikes and even on kites! Look at these pictures.

I think it's a good idea to keep pets at home，because they will bring you a lot of happiness. Dogs are very clever animals. They can help us do many things. Some dogs are trained as animal helpers. For example，a guide dog can help a blind person cross the road. A pet dog can also help you guard your home. If you are going to volunteer at an old people's home next Saturday，you should bring them some flowers. In a nursing home，you can help them clean up. You can also tell old people jokes to make them happy. Yours，Li Hau
