A comprehensive study of 4, 500 children conducted by the National Institutes of Health in
2018 shows that children who spent more than seven hours a day staring at screens showed
evidence of premature thinning of their brain's cortex-the outer layer that processes sensory
information. “We don't know if it ___21___ (cause) by the screen time. We don't know yet if it's
bad thing. It won't be until we follow them over time ___22___ we will see if there are outcomes
that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot,” Dr. Gaya
Dowling. “What we can say is that this is ___23___ the brains look like of kids who spend a lot of
time on screens. And it's not just one pattern.”
The problem isn't just screens ___24___, but also the way screens tempt kids (and adults)
away from something far more important: physical activity. More than 23 percent of adults and 80
percent of adolescents don't get enough physical activity, and according to a 2019 report from the
World Health Organization. (WHO), these patterns of activity and rest arise ___25___ habits we
develop early in life, “What we really need to do is ___26___ (bring) back play for children,” says
Dr. Juana Williamson, a WHO specialist in childhood obesity and physical activity, in a statement
about new WHO guidelines issued in April 2019. This is about making the shift from sedentary
time to playtime, while ___27___ (protect) sleep. Of course, children aren’t completely to blame
for their screen addiction.
Sometimes, the parents ___28___ complain about the role of screens in family life are just as
guilty of spending too much time in front of one. A 2016 study ___29___ (conduct) by Common
Sense Media found that parents spend up to nine hours a day in front of screens, mostly not for
work-related reasons. While 78 percent of parents said they believed they were good screen time
role models, the study found a disconnect between their behavior and their perception of their
behavior. Parents need to limit screen time for themselves and especially for their kids- ___30___
it means playing the bad guy. Our mental and physical health depends on it.

Some Very “American” Words Come from Chinese
On a recent program, we told you the stories of English words borrowed from other
languages. Today, we will tell you about words that English has taken from Chinese.
Many of the Chinese words that are now part of English were borrowed long ago. They are
most often from Cantonese or other Chinese languages rather than Mandarin.
Let’s start with kowtow.
kowtow
The English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else
wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems ___31___. It comes from the
Cantonese word kau tau, which means “knock your head.” It refers to the act of kneeling and
lowering one's head as a sign of respect to ___32___— such as emperors, elders and leaders. In
the case of emperors, the act required the person to touch their head to the ground. In 1793,
Britain's King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to
___33___ a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow to the Qianlong Emperor. As the
story goes, Lord Macartney refused for his ___34___ to do more than bend their knees. He said
that was all they were required to do for their own king.
It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement.
After that, critics used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China. Today, the
usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connection.
gung-ho
Another borrowed word that came about through ___35___ between two nations is gung-
ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely excited about doing
something. The Chinese characters “gōng” and “hé” together mean “work together, cooperate.”
The original term — gõngyè hézuòshè — means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. The
organizations were established in the 1930s by Westerners in China to promote industrial and
economic development.
Lt. Colonel Evans Carlson of the United States Marine3 Corps4 observed these cooperatives
while he was in China. He was impressed, saying “.... all the soldiers ___36___ themselves to one
idea and worked together to put that idea over.” He then began using the term gung-ho in the
Marine Corps to try to create the same spirit he had ___37___. In 1942, he used the word as a
training slogan for the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion during World War II. The men were often
called the “Gung Ho Battalion.” From then, the word gung-ho spread as a slogan the Marine
Corps. Today, its meaning has no relation to the military.
typhoon
In English, a typhoon is a very powerful and ___38___ storm that occurs around the China
Sea and in the South Pacific. The word history of typhoon had a far less direct path to the English
language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same. But, according to theMerriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English
language were in India and were called “touffons” or “tufans,” The word tufan or al-tufan is
Arabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and
borrowed it as touffon.
Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned
the Cantonese word tai fung, which means “great wind.” The word's ___39___ to touffon is only
by chance. The modern form of the word — typhoon — was influenced by the Cantonese but
___40___ to make it appear more Greek.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,
B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context .
When 17-year-old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends, they don't drink beer or cruise
around in cars with their dates. ___41___, they stick to G-rated activities such as rock-climbing or
talking about books.
They are in good company, according to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly
delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into ___42___.The study, published
Tuesday in the journal Child Development, found that the percentage of adolescents in the U. S.
who have a driver's license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has
plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous ___43___ in the past decade. The declines
appeared across race, geographic, and socioeconomic lines, and in rural, urban, and suburban
areas.
To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the ___44___ have
slimmed considerably, Between 1976 and 1979, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a
date; between 2010 and 2015 only 63 percent People say, Oh, it's because teenagers are more
responsible, or more lazy, or more boring, “but they're ___45___ the larger trend,” said Jean
Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans.
Rather, she said, kids may be less ___46___ in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs
because in today' s society.
According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person's “life strategy” slows down or
speeds up depending on his or her ___47___, exposure to a “harsh and unpredictable”
environment leads to faster development, while a more resource-rich and secure environment has
the ___48___ effect, the study said. In the first ___49___, “You'd have a lot of kids and be in
survival mode, start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that
there will be more ___50___ and fewer resources,” said Twenge, a psychology professor at San
Diego State University who is the author of “iGen; Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are
Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy — and Completely Unprepared for
Adulthood.
A century ago, when life expectancy was lower and college education less prevalent, “the
goal back then was survival, not violin lessons by 5,” Twenge said. In that model a teenage boymight be thinking more ___51___ about marriage, and driving a car and working for pay would be
important for “establishing mate value based on procurement of resources,” the study said.
But America is shifting more toward the ___52___ model, and the change is apparent across
the socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. “Even in families whose parents didn't have a college
education... families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully ___53___ has
really sunk in.” The ___54___ of “adult activities” could not be attributed to more homework or
extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework
and the same amount of time on extracurricular as they did in the 1990s ( with the exception of
community service, which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smartphones and the Internet
be entirely the ___55___, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely
available. If the delay is to make room for creative exploration and forming better social and
emotional connections, it is a good thing, he said.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions
or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Bitcoin and other so called crypt currencies have been all over the news lately. Apparently,
the idea of money that's not tied to a specific bank — or a specific country — is appealing to
many. But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: A
modern invention. Not so long ago, money was almost always created and used locally, and
bartering was common. (In fact, it still is common among many online local networks, like the
Buy Nothing Project.).
In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was consideredvaluable there. So while some of the world's first coins were made from a naturally occurring
hybrid of gold and silver called electrum, objects other than coins have served as currency,
including beads, ivory, livestock, and cowrie shells. In West Africa, bracelets of bronze or copper
were used as cash, especially if the transaction was associated with the slave trade there.
Throughout the colonial period, tobacco was used in lieu of coins or paper bills in Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina, even though it was used elsewhere in the colonies and extensively
throughout Europe and the U.K.
Today, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency — and some
people there are even hoarding it, just like Bitcoin moguls, convinced that one day, it will make
them wealthy beyond imagination. On Malaita, the most- populated island that’s part of the
Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in “How much tuna you can get for your
shells depends on their color and shape,” Mary Bruno, a shop owner from the small town of Auki,
on Malaita, told Vice. “One strip of darker shells might get you about two cans of smaller tuna, but
the red ones are worth more, For the red ones, one strip might get enough tuna to feed a big family
for a long time.
Just like a mint that creates coins, there' s only one place on the island where the shells,
which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made. (You can see how that
works in the video above.) The strips of red, white, and black shells all come from Langa Langa
Lagoon, where artificial islands were long-ago built by locals to escape from the island-dwelling
cannibals. Once marooned out on their islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves,
and so the shell currency was born.
Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s,
but Malaita is unique in that they are still used today. And just like crypto currencies, there are
those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have
risen in value over the last three decades. It might seem strange to hoard a bunch of processed,
strung-together shells, but what is a pile of dollars? Just a specially printed piece of paper and
hemp that we've assigned value to — and probably less durable over time than those shells.
（ ）56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Money was created and was widely used in the world.
B. Tobacco was used as coins or paper bills in American in the past.
C. The ingredients of world's first coins may be the combination of gold and silver.
D. Using shells for money has been out of date in the world.
（ ）57. The word “mint” in paragraph 4 is closest in the meaning to“_______________”.
A. a kind of money that can exchange
B. the leaves of a mint plant used fresh or candied
C. a place to produce and polish shells
D. a factory that produces currency
（ ）58. What's opinion of the author towards shells for money?
A. Reasonable. B. Imaginary.
C. Convenient. D. Inventive.
（ ）59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. The History of Bitcoin B. Shells Still MoneyC. The Currency Is of Great Use D. Some Shells

How Do You Move a Giant Sequoia?
The logistics of excavating（挖掘）and relocating town’s century-old, living sequoia(红杉)
tree. Inhabitants of Boise, Idaho, watched with trepidation earlier this year as the city's oldest,
tallest resident moved two blocks. The 105-year-old sequoia tree serves as a local landmark, not
only for its longevity but also because renowned naturalist and Sierra Club cofounder John Muir
provided the original seedling. So, when Saint Luke's Health System found that the 10-story-tall-
conifer( 针叶树) stood in the way of its planned hospital called tree-moving firm Environmental
Design.
The Texas-based company has developed and patented scooping and lifting technology to
move massive trees. Weighing in at more than 800, 000 pounds, the Boise sequoia is its largest
undertaking yet. “I [had] lost enough sleep over this,” says David Cox, the company's Western
region vice president — and that was before the hospital mentioned the tree's distinguished origin.
Before the heavy lifting began, the team assessed the root system and dug a five-foot-deep
cylinder , measuring 40 feet in diameter, around the trunk to protect all essential roots. After
encapsulating the root ball in wire mesh, the movers allowed the tree to acclimate to its new
situation for seven months before relocating it. The illustration details what followed. — Leslie
Nemo
1. Mark A. Merit and his team at Environmental Design installed underneath the root ball a
platform of seven-inch-diameter,44-foot-long steelbars and, just below the rods, a first set of
uninflated airbags ( shown in gray).The team also dug a shallow ramp.
2. In roughly 15 minutes, the movers inflated the airbags to about three feet in diameter to
raise the root ball to the surface of the hole.
3. By underinflating the front bags, the team allowed the platform carrying the tree to roll up
the ramp and out of the hole while staying level, A trailer hauled the tree along as team members
removed the airbags from the back of the platform and replaced them in the front. They repeated
the process until the tree arrived at the edge of its new home.
4. There a second set of partially inflated bags (shown in white) waited inside the hole. Soil
surrounding the sequoia in its original location was relocated as well, because trees are more likely
to survive a transplant when they move with their original soil.
5. Using the first set of airbags, the movers rolled the platform into the new hole.
6. The bags waiting there were then inflated further to take the weight of the sequoia while
the transportation bags were deflated and removed from under the tree.
7. The white bags were then deflated in about half an hour to lower the sequoia's root ball to
the bottom of its hole, The bags were removed, but the metal bars were left with the tree because
they rust and degrade over a number of years.
8. For the next five years the local park service will monitor and maintain the tree in its new
home.（ ）60. Which of the following words can be used to replace the words underlined "stood in the
way of"?
A. Resisted B. Balanced C. Blocked. D. Promoted.
（ ）61. What is the reason for the relocation of Sequoia trees?
A. Because the Scooping and lifting technology should be put into use.
B. Because it blocks local hospital expansion plans.
C. Because it corresponds to government's plan of Environmental Design.
D. Because sequoia trees are over a hundred years old.
（ ）62. How will the migrated sequoia trees be dealt with?
A. They will be given new soil in the new living environment.
B. Metal rods used to move sequoia trees will not be left on the trees.
C. They will be kept in transport bags all the time.
D. They will be managed by specialists in the next five years.

Understand the Economic Concept of a Budget Line
The term “budget line” has several related meanings, including a couple that are self-evident and a third that is not.
The budget line as an Informal Consumer Understanding
The budget line is an elementary concept that most consumers understand intuitively
without a need for graphs and equations — it's the household budget, for example.
Taken informally, the budget line describes the boundary of affordability for a given
budget and specific goods.
Given a limited amount of money, a consumer can only spend that same amount buying
goods. If the consumer has X amount of money and wants to buy two goods A and B, she can only
purchase goods totaling X. If the consumer needs an amount of A costing 0.75, she can then spend
only 0.25 X, the amount remaining, on her purchase of B.
This seems almost too obvious to bother writing or reading about. As it turns out, however,
this same concept-one that most consumers make many times each day with reflecting on it-is the
basis of the more formal budget line concept in economics , which is explained below.
Lines in a Budget
Before turning to the economics definition of budget line, consider another concept: the line-
item budget. This is effectively a map of future expenditures, with all the constituent expenditures
individually noted and quantified. There' s nothing very complicated about this usage, a budget
line is one of the lines in the budget, with the service or good to be purchased named and the cost
quantified,
The Budget Line as an Economics Concept
One of the interesting ways the study of economics relates to human behavior generally is that
a lot of economic theory is the formalization of the kind of simple concept outlined above — a
consumer's informal understanding of the amount she has to spend and what that amount will buy.
In the process of formalization, the concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation that
can be applied generally.
A Simple Budget Line Graph
To understand this, think of a graph where the vertical lines quantify how many movie tickets.
you can buy and where the horizontal lines do the same for crime novels. You like going to the
movies and reading crime novels and you have $ 150 to spend, In the example below, assume that
each movie costs $10 and each crime novel costs $15. The more formal economics term for these
two items is budget set.
If movies cost $ 10 each, then the maximum number of movies you can see with the
money available is 15. To note this you make a dot at the number 15 (for total movie tickets) at the
extreme left-hand side of the chart. This same dot appears at the extreme left above “0” on the
horizontal axis because you have no money left for books — the number of books available in this
example is 0. You can also graph the other extreme — all crime novels and no movies. Since
crime novels in the example cost $15 and you have $150 available, if you spend all the available
money crime novels, you can buy 10. So you put a dot on the horizontal axis at the number 10.
You'll place the dot at the bottom of the vertical axis because in this instance you have $0
available for movie tickets.
If you now draw a line from the highest, leftmost dot to the lowest, rightmost dot you'll
have created a budget line. Any combination of movies and crime novels that falls below the
budget line is affordable. Any combination above it is not.（ ）63. Which sentence about the budget line is NOT TRUE?
A. It is limitation of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.
B. Most costumers will be confused with this concept because of its complex.
C. It is the effectively a map of future expenditures.
D. It can be expressed as a mathematical. equation.
（ ）64. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us any concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation.
B. To help us figure out the meaning Budget Line.
C. To tell us we should budget before we buy goods.
D. To give an instruction of drawing a budget Line.
（ ）65. Assume that each movie costs 10 and each crime novel costs, $15, you have
$150.Which is RIGHT according to this passage?
A. The maximum number of movies you can see is 10.
B. The maximum number of crime novels you can buy is 15.
C. You can buy 7 crime novels and, see 5 movies.
D. You can buy 7 crime novels and see 4 movies.
（ ）66. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Do we really know the economic concept of a budget line?
B. The Budget Line as an Economics Concept.
C. The Budget Line as an Informal Consumer Understanding
D. The Complex Concept- Budget Line

Magazine Articles More Valuable Than You May Think
Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. Read on to
learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your
children to the medium.
Magazine Benefits
Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively, breezy writing style that can
inspire them to read more.
The articles in magazines are generally short, which allows a child to finish reading a feature
article without losing interest due to short attention span. The writing in magazines also tends to
be easy to read, especially if it is a children's publication.
By allowing your child to read magazines at an early age, you are encouraging development of
a useful skill. ___67___ Getting into the habit of reading periodicals as a child will foster the habitof reading news articles that may continue into adulthood.
___68___ Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never
considered or cause them to rethink their world view. Information is available in a wide variety of
reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable. Many publications
cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to
comprehend.
Magazine Activities
Reading magazines as a family can be used to introduce each other to the various interests that
each family member possesses. When your children are finished with their magazines encourage
them to pass their issue on to a sibling or other family member.
Once each family member has finished reading each magazine, you can use them for art and
writing projects. These projects are for family members of all ages:
1. Cut out pictures to help your preschool and kindergarten children learn their alphabet,
numbers, and colors.
2. ___69___ Paste the picture at the top of a page and have them write a story about what is
happening or what the picture represents.
3. Clip pictures to create a collage. Many teenagers love using their artistic talents to collage.
___70___ The skills that students utilize and strengthen when reading magazines can be
applied to higher level reading and other academic subjects. Encouraging your child to read by
giving them a magazine subscription could cause them to take the leap from being reluctant reader
to a voracious page-turner.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Becoming an Attractive Employee
The 2008 financial crisis created an unstable job market. Fast-forward to the present, an
economy has not fully recovered. Thus, it's of vital importance for job seekers to carefully
strategize their approach to job application. And it’s especially important for those new to the
work force. They should look at making themselves as attractive as possible to employers.
For young people, information technology skills will play an increasing role in the future. As
the generation to have grown up in the Information Age, they are quite confident when it comes to
showing off their interests and skills in this field. This makes them a natural fit for Companies
seeking expertise(专业技能) in technology, marketing and networking. They should emphasize
these skills when applying for jobs that require the ability to multitask.
Another attractive quality is experience. It's important that an applicant’s resume list any
activities that involved teamwork and goal-driven responsibilities. Membership in sports or social
club and participation as a volunteer are good examples of this. These activities involve goal
management and planning along with the ability to focus while competing on a team. When hiring
committees see this, they see candidate who is capable of working in a variety of environments.
Finally, an attractive quality when job-hunting is a great attitude toward potential job. Youngjob seekers are known to be overconfident because they have been praised for everything they
have done. But they must realize that the employment market is about how an employee will be a
good fit for a company, not the other way around.
In fact, in an interview, an important question to ask is: “ What would be expected of me as
an employee?” In today's tough 'job market, young job seekers need to provide a potential
employer with good reasons to hire them.
