Today in the UK teenagers are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many do take up part—time jobs。 It's a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on their CV(简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money。

Some research has shown that not taking part—time job could be detrimental to a person later on。 A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not taking part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organisations for young adults being ill-prepared for full—time employment。 However, recent studies have still shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part—time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.

So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Young people feel that going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results — and a good job in the long term.

学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part—time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.

24。 Which is the advantage of having part-time jobs?

A. Learning useful lessons。 B。 Spending money at will. C。 Living independently。 D。 Making some money.

25。 What does the underlined word “detrimental” probably mean?

A。 Careful. B。 Helpful。 C. Faithful. D。 Harmful. 26. From the passage, in UK we know_______ 。

A。 hard work is not fit for teenagers B。 a girl aged 10 is not allowed to work C. a fifth children have taken part-time jobs

D。 working benefits teens’ performance at school 27。 What is Geoff Barton’s opinion?

A. Learning some necessary working skills. B. Keeping a balance between study and rest。 C. Having as many part-time jobs as possible。

D. Focusing on teenagers' achievements at school。

Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that’s an easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms, and uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food.

Li is a craftsperson in a rural area of Southwest China’s Sichuan province。 Different from others, she is fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table。 For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soy beans, grinding them into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it。 Her works also include building a homemade oven to bake bread.

Like the rest of us, Li was probably not born with skills to create the things we see in her videos, but she uses everything and everybody around her as a teacher. Li never attended college, but she shows us how useful self-learning can be in an age of plenty of learning resources.

Li lets the world see one of the most important aspects of the Chinese people, how they live their daily lives. She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts of her global audience。

Moreover, Li’s charming videos show the simple joys of country living, which she can improve by using her head, heart and hands.

8

学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

While others become the product of their environment, she turns her surroundings into her product. Others see problems and feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them。 We, therefore, can choose to be inspired by her, to seek the artistic solution and enjoy the creativity, joy and relaxation that “doing” life could offer. 28. What is special about Li’s videos?

A。 Baking bread in a modern way.

B。 Both on YouTube and Sina Weibo。 C。 Mixing Chinese with western food。

D。 Showing planting and cooking processes。

29。 What has interested global audience in Paragraph 4?

A。 Traditional Chinese tofu。 B。 Turning daily life into art。 C。 Chinese people’s country life。 D. The detailed cooking programme。

30。 The author suggests that we should ________.

A. enjoy watching Li’s videos B. fix the broken things by ourselves

C。 use surroundings to improve our lives D。 have the simple joy of country living 31. What is the author's attitude to Li's videos?

A. Favorable. B. Indifferent。 C. Doubtful. Negative。

D。

We know it’s good to learn another language. It opens doors, makes you more employable, helps you make new friends, and it’s fun, too. But to improve our linguistic(语言)skills, many of us have to stand hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried in textbooks。 It's no wonder that technology appears to be providing a better and more accessible way of learning。

There is certainly a huge demand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to cash in on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available— including our own, free, BBC Learning English app!

Some educational apps offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at most universities。 And others offer “invented” language courses in Esperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon— lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom.

Whatever you want to learn, apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around other commitments. But they're not perfect— you might not get your head round the grammar and will lack the peer support you get in a classroom environment。

So, does technology take the place of the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head of modern languages at Aberystwyth

10

学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

University, thinks not. He told the BBC that apps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to remove traditional teaching. And he adds: “The apps are not designed for degrees, but they could be additional resources。”

Certainly technology is going to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facing a real teacher, probably forces you to be more involved。

32。 Which of the following statements is true?

A。 Smart phones must be used in language classes. B. Everyone has to bear to stay in classrooms all day.

C. Learning another language helps improve technology。 D. Language learners have more chances to be employed. 33。 What can you do by learning on apps?

A。 Studying on your own schedule。 B. Learning all the popular languages. C。 Becoming a master of grammar easily. D。 Having many classmates to study together. 34。 What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A。 Technology will replace teachers。 B. We use technology to teach better.

C. Real teachers and lessons get us more involved.

D。 Apps should be popularized in all different classes。 35. What is probably the best title for the passage?

11

学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

A. The Way to Learn with Apps。

B。 The Advantages of Learning with Apps

C. The Choice of Apps or Classroom Learning。

D。 The Importance of Learning another language。 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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Battling another cough or cold? 36 You may feel better if you take a daily walk or follow a simple exercise routine a few times a week. Exercise helps decrease your chances of developing heart disease。 It also helps keep your bones healthy and strong。

We do not know exactly if or how exercise increases your immunity (免疫) to certain illnesses。 There are several theories。 37 Some of these theories are as follows:

Physical activity may help move bacteria (细菌) out of the lungs and airways. 38

The brief rise in body temperature during and right after exercise may prevent bacteria from growing. This temperature rise may help the body fight against infection (传染) better.

39 Some stress increases the chance of illness. Lower stress hormones(荷尔蒙)may protect against illnesses.

Exercise is good for you. 40 Studies have shown that people

who follow a moderately (适度地) energetic lifestyle, benefit most from

12

starting and sticking to an exercise program. So go ahead, take an aerobics class or go for a walk. You will feel better and healthier for it。

A. B. C. D. E. F. G.

Feeling tired all the time? Have you taken a walk today? However, you should not overdo it.

However, none of them have been proven.

Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones。

People should not exercise more just to increase immunity。 This may reduce your chance of getting a cold or other illnesses。

W: Wait … He was born on the same day as Kobe Bryant?

M: Yeah。 And he is 1.91 meters tall. He graduated from Harvard。 He

is one of the few players with a high education。

W: But I read that he was not considered a very valuable player at one

time, and that he was even fired several times.

M: Yeah。 But he never gives up。 He insists on practicing playing

basketball every day to improve his skill. That’s why he is so popular — his spirit impressed many people.

W: In the article, the writer compares Lin Shuhao to Yaoming. What do

you think of that comparison?

M: I think the two players share nothing in common except their skin

color.

W: I agree。 Lin is a total American。 No one would ever compare Yao

to Kobe. (Text 10)

I became afraid that there would be smaller shocks to follow, so I ran out。 About twenty minutes later, my parents came back. Neither of them was injured。 After the earthquake, I felt both sad and lucky. I felt sad because more than 200 people died that day. I felt lucky because all my family survived.
