Part I Reading Comprehension (每题2分，共30分)

Directions: There are three reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Passage One

Everyone talks about the advantages of taking time out for “simple pleasures”. The idea is that we will be happier if we often do inexpensive, easy-to-do activities.

However, the problem for many of us is that we don’t know what makes us happy. When I was in college, my mother gave me some wise advice. She said, “Before you get married and live with another person, you need to spend some time living by yourself. You need to get to know yourself.”

So I did exactly that. For almost two years, I lived by myself. I found that I loved to spend hours looking around in bookstores. I also loved to spend an afternoon just walking around the city. And every so often, I needed the moments of pure silence.

But, of course, we all don’t enjoy the same things.

A simple pleasure for me would be to spend an hour reading a book in my backyard. However, that same activity would give my husband no pleasure. We are so different.

Sometimes, we already know what makes us happy. However, as life gets busier and we get older, we put aside our simple pleasures. For example, I had to give up playing the flute when I started working and had family responsibilities. Playing my flute seemed selfish when no one else in my family could join, but three years ago I returned to playing the flute. I regret having ever stopped.

Simple pleasures are neither simple nor common. Our simple pleasures are a reflection of who we are. They are different activities that give each of us joy.

Certainly there are some common topics—such as being out in nature, doing something creative, or enjoying music and literature—but beyond that, each of us has to find out what it is that feeds our souls.

That isn’t always easy in a world in which we have to consider other people’s needs and opinions as well as our own, but enjoying simple pleasures is something that each of us deserves.

Think of it as your right, and say to yourself, “Today, I’m going to discover what my simple pleasures are.”

1. What is the writer’s opinion about simple pleasures? A. They change as we grow older.

B. They can reflect our characters and spirits. C. It’s expensive and impossible to achieve them. D. People with no responsibilities can enjoy them.

2. What does the writer want to tell by sharing her experience of living alone? A. Wise people often take their mothers’ advice.

B. A couple don’t necessarily share the same interest. C. It’s important to live alone before getting married.

D. It’s worth spending time alone enjoying simple pleasures.

3. What can we learn from the writer’s experience of playing the flute? A. We should develop an interest that others can take part in.

1

B. Making our family happy is better than making ourselves happy. C. Family responsibilities are more important than our own interests. D. Keeping our interests alive is a good method to make ourselves happy. 4. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A. The writer encourages readers to get simple pleasures actively.

B. The writer suggests that readers pay no attention to others’ opinions. C. The writer teaches readers to balance others’ needs with their own needs.

D. The writer reminds readers to realize that simple pleasures are based on others’ needs. 5. What is the best title for the passage? A. Find Out Who You Are. B. Consider Your Own Needs. C. Live Alone to Enjoy Life. D. Discover Your Own Pleasures.

Passage Two

Mr. Zhong was angry when he found out that his 12-year-old child had spent 13,272 yuan from March 17 to 21 when playing video games on his mobile phone. Zhong made a complaint and required the video game company to return all the money. But “it’s up in the air so far.” Zhong told Workers’ Daily.

This is not a single case in which children have paid a great deal of money to play online games. The Guangdong Consumer Council (消费者委员会) has received more than 10,000 similar complaints from local parents in the first three months of this year.

Because of the increasing number of similar cases, the council talked with many online video game companies in the province, strongly suggesting that they should introduce useful methods to protect the consumer rights of children.

In fact, many online companies and mobile apps have provided a youth mode, announcing that parents can control the content and limit the time their children spend in using the apps.

However, according to a consumer survey report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council, some of the protection modes of companies such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili and Team Talk are far from being useful.

For example, users of all of the above companies can extend watching time by entering a password. Team Talk’s youth mode is no different from the usual mode, which means that children can watch all content. Wang Yuhan, 16, from Fuzhou No. 1 High School, shared her experience. She said, “Some apps would only send a notice to check whether the user is 18 years old. The user can simply choose ‘Yes’ and start playing the game. It’s no good.”

According to the Guangdong Consumer Council, game companies are being advised to introduce different methods to check who the players are, including fingerprint, password or facial recognition (人脸识别) when children pay to play online games.

6. From the underlined sentence “it’s up in the air so far”, we can guess _______________. A. the company ran out of money

B. Mr. Zhong hasn’t got the money back C. the company threw the money into the air

D. Mr. Zhong thanked Workers’ Daily for helping him

7. The council talked to many companies because _________________. A. they provided a youth mode for children B. they refused to do what they were told to do

2

C. the number of complaint cases was rising D. Mr. Zhong wanted to get all the money back

8. What’s the meaning of the word “extend” in Paragraph 6? A. make something longer B. improve the quality C. change the way D. cut something shorter 9. What is the purpose of giving the example of Wang Yuhan in Paragraph 6? A. To explain how youth mode works. B. To warn people not to use youth mode. C. To teach people how to play games better. D. To show that youth mode needs improving. 10. What is the main topic of the passage? A. A Father Angry with Video Games B. Famous Video Game Companies C. Disadvantages of Online Video Games D. Stricter Rules Needed for Online Games

Passage Three

Researchers have used very small electronic devices to make jellyfish (水母) stronger and faster. The scientists say they used these electronic jellyfish in the hopes of sending them to study and explore the world’s seas.

A report on the experiment was published in the magazine Science Advances. The study shows jellyfish are unusual living things. They move through seawater by reducing the size of their muscles. For the experiment, the researchers put an electronic device, about 2 centimeters in length, inside a moon jellyfish, a common kind of jellyfish.

The researchers said the device caused jellyfish to move their bodies more often. They swam around three times faster than usual. Jellyfish are known to produce something from time to time when they are feeling stressed. No such action appeared during the study. “Care is taken to the jellyfish,” Dabiri explained. “The jellyfish swam the same when the electronic device was taken away after the experiment,” the researchers said.

“It’s very unusual and modern. It seems to happen only in the future.” Said Xu, an engineer at Stanford University. “We could send these jellyfish to different areas of the sea to get signs of climate change or have a close watch on nature.” “One of the first purposes will be going deep,” added Dabiri. “Going deep is important because humans need to understand the deep seas.”

“Generally, we’d put these jellyfish at the surface, have them swim down to increasing depths, and make them back to the surface with data. Before that the electronic devices help us see just how far we can get them to go down into the sea,” Xu said.

“Jellyfish have lived on earth for over 500 million years, and over that time, their bodies have nearly remained unchanged,” said Xu. “So it’s interesting to find out what makes them so special in the sea and how we can learn from them.” Xu added, “We use animals with natural swimming abilities instead of submarines (潜水艇) which might harm the environment.”

11. What happened to a jellyfish during the experiment? A. It reduced its muscle size and swam faster. B. It swam around four times faster than usual. C. It felt stressed and sometimes produced things. D. It swam more slowly with the electronic device.

12. The purpose of the experiment is to _________________. A. get natural signs and study the sea surface B. make the jellyfish much stronger and faster C. study the deep sea and learn more about nature D. go deep into the sea and find other living things

13. Which of the following is the correct order of the experiment? a. Make the jellyfish back with data. b. Put the jellyfish at the surface. c. Make the jellyfish swim down. d. Put electronic devices on jellyfish. A. b-d-a-c B. d-b-c-a C. b-c-d-a D. d-a-b-c 14. Scientists used jellyfish in the experiment because jellyfish _____________. A. are special and not bad for environment B. have already lived on earth for a long time C. help us protect environment like submarines D. can move faster and become larger in the sea 15. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Researchers find new ways to protect nature. B. Jellyfish become faster with electronic devices. C. Scientists use jellyfish to explore the deep seas. D. Jellyfish are important in protecting environment.
