BThe great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next years Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyos 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have. But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language. Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, Its not too late. We will teach you one word a day . Natsuko is Takamizawas granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmothers phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you? Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. I can clearly see her English is getting better. Its my joy now. The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world.

CTencent announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to playing it.From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for a maximum(最大值) of one hour a day, and after 9 pm, they will be banned from logging into it, said Tencent. Those older than 12 will be able to play a maximum two hours a day. The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up. Tencent claimed these were the strictest measures in Chinas game industry to prevent addiction and the company expected they would ease parents anxiety. The company also said it had updated its system for parents to keep tabs on their children using its games.Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect childrens game accounts with their mobile phone numbers. Now, parents can connect phones, tablets or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said. Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the measures but was not sure if they would be sufficiently effective. I like the system that could lock up the devices as children can register many accounts, he said, but children are so clever that they can always think out counter measures.27. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A.Kids under 11 could play the game for at most 7 hours in a week.B.Girls under 8 are able to log in the game at 10 pm.C.Those older than 16 are able to play the game all the time.D.Children over 13 can log in the game after playing 3 hours in a day.28. The underlined phrase keep tabs on is closest in meaning to _. A.be careful withB.be in control ofC.have an eye onD.keep contact with29. What can we learn about the game system according to the passage? A.Parents can monitor their children even if they try to register different game accounts.B.Parents need to connect their tablets or computers to the game accounts of their children.C.Parents can be reminded of the time their children have been playing the games.D.Parents should pay attention to their phones all the time in case they miss any message.30. What did Song Zhes father think of the game system? A.The game system was absolutely welcomed by him.B.Children were too dull to break out of the system.C.He was uncertain about the effectiveness of the system.D.Children could register lots of accounts to unlock the devices.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it.
