17、my mother.”“What did your mother do?” The manager seemed surprised.“She is a clothes cleaner,” the young man answered, with no feeling.“Have you ever helped your mother wash some clothes before?”“Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. She could wash clothes faster than me,”

18、the young man seemed puzzled (迷惑) when answering.“Well, now I need you to do something.

Howe

26、ver, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology professor from the University of London, UK.

34、ps (桔核) in it from India, and arrived seven weeks later to kill Johns uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill Johns father. Now they have sent five pips to John from London!”“The letters are all from sea ports (海港). The writer was on a ship when he wrote th

35、e letters,” I replied.“Very good, Watson! And Johns enemy is in London already!”“Well, I hope they wont kill young John,” I said.But they did. The next morning, we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo station. Holmes was very angry about it.“He came to me for help and t

36、hose men murdered him! Im going to find them, if its the last thing I do!” he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.At night, when he came back, he was tired, but pleased, he said, “I know the names of Johns enemies!

37、ive pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封). On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C”“Im sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star.

38、s of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia.

CABCDD16、Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers(幼儿), they are all lovely and lively. And its

41、so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up.Conflicts(矛盾) go between parents and children. Its hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a confli

42、ct with its parents. Whether it is about some toy, studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care. Yes, sure they should respect their elders.We are partly responsi

43、ble(有责任的) for this. At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults, just because we find it funny. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late

44、. Only when they reach a certain maturity（成熟） will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable(可接受的). Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force(暴力). And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the childs conf

45、idence.So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults.1 are all lovely and lively.AChildren BToddlersCKids DGrown-ups2There are many conflicts

DRespecting elders.4Which of the following is true？AChildren often copy what their parents do.BChildren can not cha

47、nge their behavior.CChildrens behavior develops in their own way.DChildrens behavior is not acceptable.5The writer wrote the passage _.Ato show the importance of good examplesBto give examples on educating childrenCto show the growth of childrenDto show the behavior of childrenE17、Smog is a big prob

48、lem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news interviewer with CCTV, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.The 103-minute film was on websites on Feb 28. In the fil

49、m, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She thinks that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.In her film, Cha

50、i also emphasized (强调) that everyone can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transport. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In the film, when she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable fil

51、ter facilities (过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to take notice of the environment. This is what we need in the future.”1What is the main

54、it. BHe thought highly of it.CHe disagreed with it. DHe disliked it.F18、For 13-year-old Brooke Martin, seeing her golden dog Kayla has become much easier, even when shes not at home. Martin made a kind of machineiCPooch. It allows pet owners to video chat with their pets and sends food from other pl
