A
Mosquitron
Mosquitos (蚊子)can cause us serious diseases. Until now. we've used different things to keep them away. But none of these ways actually protect us for more than 20 minutes! Now there is a new way to keep mosquitos away from you ever again without using any chemicals at all.
What is it all about?
It's called the Mosquitron—a new mosquito catcher or killer. It's very easy to control and it can protect your home from all the mosquitos!
How does it work?
Instead of trying to keep the mosquitos away, it attracts them, then catches them and finally kills them! Basically, it will attract the mosquitos into the Mosquitron, with a completely harmless UV-PT producing light. Next to the UV-PT light is a powerful reverse (反向的)fan that sucks (吸)the mosquitos through a one-way trapdoor. Once they are trapped in the drying basket they are dried to death by the fan in 2 minutes.
How much does it cost?
You'd be surprised to find that you can get it right now for just $89. It might seem expensive at first. However, when you compare it with other products which need regular, expensive repair and don't work for more than 10 minutes, it is pretty cheap. In fact, some products using the same UV technology are priced over $250!To buy a mosquitron? That's very easy. You can only buy it from the supplier's website.
21．Why should we stay away from mosquitos?
A．They produce much noise.
B．They need a safe environment.
C．They can spread serious diseases.
D．They can make dangerous chemicals.
22．How does the Mosquitron clear mosquitos?
A．By attracting and killing them.
B．By burying them with hot sand.
C．By watering them in a basket
D．By giving off strong and harmful light.
23．Where can we buy a mosquitron according to the text?
A．In a computer store. B. On the website.
C．In a restaurant. D. In a supermarket.

B
My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt（罪行）, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? My parents didn’t even give me pocket money. “My father is going to get angry.”I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force made me do it. I told the truth. “I did it.”It was hard enough to say what I had.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike（打）a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like bird,”she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(有负罪感的) face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are often reading. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your bad behavior, I am rewarding you for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide --the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo (回响)forever.
24．From the story, we can learn that the boy _____.
A．didn’t know what the teacher would find out
B．lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C．didn’t admit what he had done
D．didn’t break the window on purpose
25．If the boy admitted guilt, he thought that he would be in the following trouble except______.
A．he would be punished by the teacher
B．he would not get a bird field guide
C．he would pay for the broken window
D．he would make his father angry

26．Which of the following best describes the changes in the boy’s feelings?
A．Regretful--Guilty--Excited B．Frightened--Amazed--Proud
C．Afraid--Surprised--Thankful D．Nervous--Afraid--Satisfied
27．What is the lesson the boy’s teacher taught him?
A．Honesty is always valued B．Every coin has two sides
C．Bad luck never comes alone D．It’s never too late to be careful
C
A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (抑郁). The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity（成熟） gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
28. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Parents should forbid their children’s love.
B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.
C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.
D. Romance is good for young people.
29. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?
A. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
C. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.
D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
30. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
B. The older a girl is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
D. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
A. Confused       B.Scared C. Disinterested      D. Disapproving  
D
If you watched the 2018 Winter Olympics, then you might have noticed the suits that the athletes wore. Have you ever wondered why they look so unique? Besides making the athletes look stylish, the suits can also help them move faster. This is especially true for speed skaters.
Wave your hand around in the air. You might feel some air moving around your hand, but you probably don’t think that it can slow your hand down. But if you wave your hand around in some water, you can feel that it is not easy to move your hand. This is called drag (阻力). Air has less drag than water, but it can affect your speed.
Speed skaters wear suits that reduce drag. The suit makes the surface of their body smooth. This way, the air moves more easily over their body and there is less drag.
The US speed skating team’s suits were made out of a white nylon-spandex (尼龙氨纶) mix called H1. When we move, we leave a vacuum (真空) hole of air behind us that can slow us down. Speed skaters need to make it as small as possible. The H1 fabric (织物) can help with this. The fabric makes the airflow behind moving objects more steady and therefore makes the hole smaller, Wired magazine reported.
The H1 fabric was used for the arms and legs of the team’s suits. That’s because human arms and legs move more and feel more drag.
Wearing high-tech suits might not decide the final victor in a competition. But the suits give athletes the best tool to do their job.
32．What was the main goal in making the speed skaters’ suits?
A．To reduce drag. B．To make them stylish.
C．To help the body relax. D．To make air move slowly.
33．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to??
A．A white nylon-spandex mix. B．The H1 fabric.
C．The airflow. D．A vacuum hole of air.
34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The H1 fabric was used to make the entirety of the suits.
B．The H1 fabric is made out of cotton.
C．Water has less drag than air.
D．A special suit is a tool for athletes to do their job.
35．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Skaters in Competitions B．Changes Happening in Suits
C．High-tech Suits for Skaters D．Ways of Changing Suits
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，并在答题卡上填上相应答案。
One of my earliest memories was watching my mum talk on our old phone. I was fascinated (着迷的) that she could talk to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her. 36 I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn’t see.
37 Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart-phones. These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter’s smartphone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as “the cloud”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.
However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with (来往) each other nowadays. 38 Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.
Don’t let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 39
Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. 40 But when it can’t, turn it off.
A.Connect offline as well as online.
B.That was a long time ago.
C.Few take the time to talk face to face.
D.Smartphones have both advantages and disadvantages.
E.We should communicate with each other with phones off.
F.When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.
G.When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.
