A
My mom is a lawyer. She is super busy. Almost working around the clock every day. I was always wondering
what a lawyer was so busy with. With great curiosity I asked my mom, “What is law?”
She paused for two seconds, and said, “It’s the reason why I can afford your English classes.” That doesn’t
sound like a satisfactory answer. So, I turned to the Internet, Wikipedia seems to be a more reliable source. The law
is a system of rules that are created through social or governmental organizations to control behaviour. It is difficult
to understand for 2nd graders, actually the law is nothing mysterious.
The law consists of the things that people must do or must not do. It comes in different forms. Just imagine
that my family has a small legal system. My daddy promised me a Disney trip if I win the Star of Outlook
competition. When two people have agreed on something, that’s contract law. Then daddy broke his promise. I
complained to mommy, and mommy stopped giving daddy pocket money. So, when a law is broken, a person can
find a satisfactory solution to the problem. And that is civil procedural law(民事诉讼法). And of course, my mom
has the highest power in my family, sorry dad, which is part of constitutional law(宪法).
The law is a powerful system that keeps our families, schools, communities and countries in good order.
Without law, the whole world will be in a mess. The law ensures that people like daddy keep their promises, that
children like me are not harmed. Thanks to the law, we can make the community better for everyone.
26. The author writes paragraph 1 ________.
A. to tell a story B. to express an opinion C. to introduce a topic D. to draw a conclusion
27. The writer would agree that ________.
A. Wikipedia is the only reliable source online B. it’s hard for 2nd graders to understand law
C. every law was created by social organizations D. law is the reason why he can attend English classes
28. Which form of law may it be when daddy makes a promise?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司.
A contract law B. business law C. civil procedural law D. constitutional law
29. Which of the following best describes the style of this article?
A. strict but interesting B. informative but careless
C. humorous and detailed D. open-minded and lively
30. What is the text mainly about?
A. A lawyer mother sets a good example for her son. B. Every family can make their own law like the writer.
C. The legal system is made up of different forms of law. D. The legal system plays an important part in our
society.
B
Even if the word “pop” disappears from the English vocabulary, the influence of pop will remain. Pop has
become part of British and American history.
There has always been a close cultural link or tie, between Britain and English-speaking America, not only in
literature but also in the popular arts especially music. Before the Second World War, the Americans exported jazz
and the blues. During the 1950s, they exported rock and roll, and star singers like Elvis Presley were idolized by
young British and Americans alike.
The people responsible for the pop revolution(改革) were four Liverpool boys who joined together in a group
and called themselves the Beatles. They played in small clubs in the back streets of the city. Unlike the famous solo
stars who had their songs written for them, the Beatles wrote their own words and music. They had a close personal
relationship with their audience, and they expected them to join in and dance to the beat of the music. Audience
participation is a necessary characteristic of pop culture.
Some pop groups, especially the Rolling Stones, did more than just entertainment. They wrote words which
were intended to shock on purpose. They represented the anger and bitterness of youth fighting for freedom against
authority(权威).
The Beatles, on the other hand, finally won the love and respect of people of all ages and social backgrounds.
As they developed, their songs became more serious. They wrote not only about love, but about death, poverty and
daily life. They were respected by many intellectuals(知识分子) and by some serious musicians. Largely thanks to
the Beatles, pop music has grown into an influential career which also brings much wealth.
31. What kind of music is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Jazz. B. Rock and Roll. C. Country. D. Blues.
32. What made Beatles different from other singers?
A. The Beatles was set up by four British boys. B. The Beatles made music works by themselves.
C. The Beatles didn’t performed on large stages. D. The Beatles communicated with their fans.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司33. What does “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The Beatles. B. Entertainers. C. The Rolling Stones. D. Audience.
34. Why did people love and respect the Beatles?
A. They shows concerns about the society. B. They made a large amount of money.
C. They changed their pop music style. D. They wrote songs for great minds and artists.
35. What can we infer about pop music?
A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains in Britain and America.
C. It should include audience. D. It was changed by the Beatles.
C
When we hear the word “virus”, we naturally think of something dangerous. However, some viruses
coexist(共存) with us and we can even make good use of some of them, according to recent studies.
Biologists suggest that 380 trillion viruses are living on and within your body right now. These viruses are
,
collectively known as the human virome (病毒组). Some can cause illness but many simply coexist with you.
It appears that our viromes begin to accumulate when we are born. Studies have shown different viruses in
the babies’ bodies shortly after birth, suggesting that they probably come from the babies’ mothers.
The viromes grow in number as the kids grow up. They are not likely to change during adulthood. “The
virome looks like a partner that can influence our daily lives positively as well as negatively. We could even use the
virome to improve our own health,” said David Pride, an expert from the US.
One way is to use parts of viruses to cure diseases. Researchers in the US have purified (提纯) an enzyme (酶)
from a virus that kills bacteria (细菌) found in patients.
The other way is to develop viruses’ value. Many viruses in our viromes infect bacteria. When the viruses
move around the body, some arrive at the surfaces of our bodies such as the nose, throat and stomach. Viruses
cannot divide and produce exact copies of themselves there, but they can wait for a bacteria to arrive. This process
makes it possible to prevent us from getting certain diseases.
36. What does the underlined word “accumulate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. produce matters B. create problems C. increase the quantity D. examine the body
37. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Viruses even appear in the body of a baby. B. Not all viruses cause illnesses in our body.
C. There are less than 380 trillion viruses in a baby’s body. D. The number of viromes grows largely in the body of
adults.
38. How can viruses benefit people?
A. They make enzyme that can cure cancer. B. They help people avoid certain diseases.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. They can turn harmful bacteria into a harmless one. D. They can copy themselves to kill harmful bacteria.
39. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
.
A To explain how viruses can be very useful. B. To describe how viruses come into being.
C. To show the importance of human viromes. D. To introduce our relationship with viruses.
40. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A menu. B. A science fiction. C. A guidebook. D. A biology magazine.
