【题目】The Farmers’ Fresh Market

This morning,I went to the Farmers Market in Burlington ,Vermont. I didn’t know what the Farmers Market is or how to get there. 1

First ,I had to decide how to go there,and I chose both to walk and to take a bus. When I went,I would walk and when I came back,I would take a bus. 2

Walking to the market in this city,I was surprised because every house was beautiful,and they were all arranged in good order. In Korea’s cities,most houses are not like that,and many apartments are like boxes which often screen off beautiful views like hills and mountains. Also,every road is not straight and narrow. 3

4It was a very small market,but a very interesting one. I don’t know why farmers go there to sell vegetables or why people go there to buy them because there are many more products in large supermarkets. 5

Also ,all the things sold there were very novel. In addition to fresh food,there was homemade food and many other things such as woolen blankets,quilts ,and wooden products.

I wanted to buy some of them,but I didn’t need them,so I just looked at them. It was a very exciting experience.

A. I visited a flower stand at the market.

B. Anyway,I was able to find the Farmers’ Market.

C. So, to me, this American town was very impressive.

It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others. 1 If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing, then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts.

● Don’t get in the center of the conflict.

Sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help. Frankly speaking, it is very unwise, because it can make you the main figure of the conflict. 2 You should focus on your own life issues.

● Be kind.

● Try to be a peacekeeper.

Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts. “4” This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper. Don’t worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper; you can gain this skill during life.

【题目】Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.

It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

A row of hedge(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.

On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”

1What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Accepted happily. B. Spoke unhappily.

C. Agreed willingly. D. Explained clearly.

2What made the author feel upset was ______.

A. the feeling of being less than valued

C. the tiredness after long hours in labs

D. the loneliness of riding the bus home

3The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.

A. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorway

B. he wanted to help his son build up courage

C. he was concerned about his son’s safety

D. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone

4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

【题目】Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers(低头族).

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Beijing Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

【题目】If you look outside, you probably will see some kind of insect. If your first instinct is to kill it, take a moment to think about all of the benefits insects provide to the environment.

Entomologists, scientists who study insects, estimate that there are more than 800,000 species of insects found throughout the world. Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful. Mosquitoes, for example, are considered harmful. They bite humans and other animals, and their bites can cause skin pain and spread disease. Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year.

However, the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species. Some insects make up a vital part of the food chain. Many different birds, reptiles, fish and even plants eat insects. There are also about 500 insects that people in various parts of the world eat. These insects are considered delicious food and prized for their high protein, mineral, and vitamin content. Other insects produce valuable commercial products such as silk, wax, and honey.

Of all the insects, perhaps the most important are those that travel from flower to flower and pollinate(授粉) the plants they visit. Agriculture around the world would be very different without the bees, butterflies, moths, flies and wasps that pollinate many crops. In fact, nearly one-third of the food you eat depends on plants that are pollinated by insects!

While it is true that some species of insects harm or annoy us, you should not automatically reach for the bug spray when you come across an insect. You may be destroying one of the hundreds of thousands of insects that provides many benefits to human beings.

【1】According to the passage, the most important type of insects are ________.

A. insects that are eaten by birds, reptiles and fish

B. insects that travel around and pollinate plants

C. insects that harm mosquitoes and stop the spread of disease

D. insects that are eaten by people in many countries

【2】According to the passage, insects are eaten in some parts of the world because ________.

A. they are nutritious

B. they are available to cook

C. they are easy to breed

D. they are free

【3】According to the author, the sentence in the last paragraph “you should not automatically reach for the bug spray.” means ________.

A. you should not keep insects as pets

B. you should not breed insects for their benefit

C. you should not catch insects for pleasure

D. you should not kill insects without thinking

【4】The main purpose of this passage is ________.

A. to explain why it is cruel to kill bugs

B. to convince people that insects are nutritious

C. to describe the beneficial contributions of insects

D. to make people aware of endangered insect species
