Orkin Insect Zoo B The Little Boy’s Races Once in a village lived a little boy named Jacob. He was very athletic and famous for running fast. What’s more, winning a competition was the most important for him. One day, Jacob took part in a running competition held in the village. In the competition, he competed with two other young boys. As the first race started, the excited crowd waved at Jacob and cried out his name. The boy called on his determination (决心) and strength, and he was the first one who came to the finishing line. The little boy felt proud. Later the second race was called. Another two young and strong challengers ( 挑战者) came forward and ran with Jacob. As expected, he finished first again. The crowd became crazy and cried out his name. The little boy felt more satisfied. He started to shout, “Another race! Another race! I bet no one will win against me!” An old man was watching all this. He stepped forward and with him he presented two new challengers. One was a weak old lady and the other was a blind man. Jacob was quite surprised and asked, “What’s this? This is no race!” The old man replied, “Race!” When all were set on the starting line, the third race started. In the end, Jacob was the only one to finish that race, leaving two challengers standing at the starting line. The little boy raised his arms in delight. But to his surprise, this time no one from the crowd was cheering and everyone was just looking at him silently. “What happened? Why are people not cheering?” Jacob asked the old man. The old man replied, “Race again but this time finish together with your challengers.” After thinking for a while, Jacob went to the starting line again and stood in the middle of the old lady and the blind man. The final race began. He took both of them by hand and started to walk slowly. At last they crossed that finishing line. This time at the end of the race, the crowd stood up and warmly applauded for him. Jacob didn’t understand why the crowd was not cheering for him before but now when all three of them finished the race together. So he asked the old man about it. The wise old man smiled, “Little boy, in this race you have won much more than what you won in any other race. By respecting your rivals (对手), you have won people’s respect.” 49. What’s the most important thing for Jacob before the competition? A. Being respected by others. B. Making the crowd very excited. C. Getting strong and healthy. D. Becoming the winner in games. 50. How many races did Jacob have in this competition? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 51. How did Jacob feel when the old man brought him two challengers? A. Angry. B. Scared. C. Confident. D. Surprised. 52. What can we learn from this story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Respecting others comes first. C. Challenges bring us fame. D. Having confidence is necessary. C Social Media, Friends or Enemies? It’s no surprise that the pressure to stay on social media is a real challenge for today’s teenagers. They spend too much time using QQ, WeChat and other social media. For many teens, social media can become almost addictive. Some teenagers even can’t live a normal life without social media. According to a study, people who used more than seven social media platforms had more than three times the risk of depression (抑郁症) than people who used two or fewer. Children who overuse social media are likely to show less interest in social activities and experience an increase in loneliness. 5 / 6 Teens often feel emotionally invested ( 情感投入) in their social media accounts. Not only do they feel pressure to answer quickly online, but they also feel pressure to have perfect photos and posts, which can cause a lot of worries. In fact, some studies have found that the larger a person’s social circle online is, the more worried they will feel about keeping up with everything online. A British study shows one-fifth of the teens have trouble sleeping at night because of social media use. They “almost always” wake up during the night and log in to social media. In addition to reporting feeling tired all the time, they also reported being less happy on average than teens whose sleep was not affected by social media. Besides, not having enough sleep can lower the immune (免疫的) system and make it more likely for a teen to get sick. Overuse of social media can lead to jealousy (嫉妒) and envy among teenagers as well. People tend to post only the positive things that they experience, or make light of the bad with funny stories. As a result, another person’s life may look perfect online, but offline they have struggles just like anyone else. It is easy for a teen to play the comparison (比较) game and start thinking that everyone is happier or better offline than he or she is. Many teens spend so much time online checking messages that they forget to communicate with the people right in front of them. As a result, teens risk having poor relationships in their lives when social media take center stage. It is important that parents understand the possible influence that social media have on their kids. For this reason, it is important to set up guides for social media use among kids. It’s also important for families to have regular discussions on how to use social media reasonably and safely. When families pay close attention to the teens’ world of social media, their online world will become much more manageable. 53. The underlined word “addictive” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”. A. too enjoyable for them to stop B. able or likely to harm or kill them C. very useful for gathering information D. always busy making them healthy 54. According to Paragraph 5, overuse of social media among teenagers may lead to ______. A. wonderful social activities B. bad offline comparisons C. exciting emotion experience D. serious sleeping problems 55. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. sleep loss affected by social media is both physically and mentally harmful B. social media interaction can work as well as face-to-face communication C. teenagers tend to compare their lives with others in reality and feel better D. the use of social media platforms will lead to depression in teenagers 56. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To remind us how social media use affects teenagers’ health. B. To explain some researches on the influences of online activities. C. To give us some advice on how to use social media online properly. D. To question if parents should watch and guide kids’ online activities. 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10 分，每小题2 分） Friendship without Borders Foreigners were awarded the Friendship Medal for their contributions to China’s development. Isabel Crook was a 105-year-old Canadian, born in 1915 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. At that time, Isabel’s mother began schools for the deaf and dumb Chinese. Her father, Homer, helped begin The West China Union University in Chengdu. Isabel has spent most of her life in China. On September 30th 2019, as the People’s Republic of China (PRC) celebrated its 70th anniversary, Isabel Crook received the highest honor of her life—the PRC’s Friendship Medal. Crook’s longest living outside of China was six years at the University of Toronto, where she got a master of art degree with a minor in anthropology (人类学), returning to China in 1939. From that year, she worked as an anthropologist in Sichuan and was interested in understanding people’s culture and living condition. Isabel went door-to-door meeting the local people and kept detailed records of their daily life. She married David Crook, a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, in 1942 and joined his party the same year. In 1947, the couple did research in a village called Shilidian in Hebei Province. The village can also be called Ten Mile Inn. Based on their study, the couple wrote a book titled Revolution in a Chinese Village: Ten Mile Inn, which was first published in London in 1959. In 1948, David and Isabel began to teach English at a newly well-known Foreign Affairs School, where they would help 6 / 6 prepare a few students for future diplomatic ( 外交) service. After Liberation, the school moved from Hebei to Beijing, where it became the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute (now Beijing Foreign Studies University). After receiving the Friendship Medal, she told the media that she observed with her own eyes the rapid development and changes in the 70 years since the founding of the PRC. She experienced the great times of China. Meanwhile, she said proudly, “I have been lucky enough to devote myself to it and do some work.” 57. Does Isabel Crook spend most of her life in China? 58.
