Dear Sir/Madam,

①It is now common to go online at home, yet a recent survey showed that ninety-five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.

②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children’s online activities. If they had a better understanding of the Internet, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.

③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork. These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework,which can make them upset. Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support.

④Improving parents’ Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children. These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers. If parents want to be part of that free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity. Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap（代沟）between them and their children.

⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, and so training is extremely important.

Yours faithfully,

Pat Chan

(C)

When you think of the Arctic (北极), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish. “And now”, CNN says, “It’s the Arctic’s turn.”

German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. Sadly, the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (每升) snow.

How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to scientists, “It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.” They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.

Are they bad for us? Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO. We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics. However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health. What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.

Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way. They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals. If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.

47.What can we learn from Paragraph 1___________.

A.the Arctic is the last really clean place left on earth

B.the Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow

C.the Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air

D. the Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish

48.The underlined word “contribute” means “_______” in Chinese.

A.增加  B.捐献  C.造成  D.是……原因之一

49.Which of the following is not true?

A.We may breathe microplastics in Arctic.

B.Microplastics may cause lung cancer.

C.We don’t have to mind microplastics right now.

D.Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.

50.How does the writer end this passage?

A.By advising us to drink clean water.

B.By asking people not to eat sea animals.

C.By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.

D.By showing the beauty of Arctic.

Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. Then, they were almost the only way to drive the heat away. The Chinese character for the word “fan” has the same sound as the character for “ kindness”. Thus, fans are viewed as good luck, charms and expressions of generosity.

The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials. Palm (棕桐) leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner’s high position. Sandalwood (檀香) fans could send out a sweet smell.

Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into works of art, in which tuanshan-round fans and zheshan-folded fans were the most common.

In the shape of a full moon, the round fans mean union and happiness. They had beautiful embroidery (刺绣) featuring birds and flowers on them, representing (代表) wealth and longevity. Women, especially those in the imperial palace (皇宫), liked to use them. Such fans were very popular in the Han Dynasty (202 BC—AD 204).               Folding fans were first produced in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) and became popular in the Ming Dynasty(1368— 1644). They have a history of symbolizing scholarship. Men, especially the literati (文人), used zheshan because they were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their skills in literature, painting and calligraphy (书法). Many things were painted on zheshan, but the most popular choice was usually landscapes (风景).

Today, Chinese people still use these fans, though not many people write or paint on them any more.
