I went to the Chinatown market in London last Sunday. The first thing I did was to go to one of the Chinese green grocers’ shops. As soon as I entered the shop, I smelt mixtures of Chinese spices(香料) and saw the new season’s fruits. My son wanted a bag of sweets, so we popped into the shop next door which sells many kinds of candy.
There’s a lot of noise in the Chinatown market and you will see many
tourists too. There are a lot of cars and trucks that never stop beeping（嘟嘟声）. While people are loading and unloading their goods, most of them have their cars and trucks parked in the middle of the road. This causes great inconvenience for other drivers. Can you imagine that?
After we had done all our shopping, my son and I went to a restaurant for lunch. We enjoyed our meal very much. But the shopping made us both very tired at the end. We headed down the road to catch our bus home. My son and I enjoyed riding in the bus. We also enjoyed looking at different buildings and people walking by dressed in fancy outfits（全套装备）. Although Chinatown can be a busy place to shop, I do enjoy going there now and then. I can buy some of my necessities, and I can also look and browse around（随意观看） the other shops and department stores where I can indulge (使沉迷) myself with some nice things. Chinatown is located in（坐落于） the heart of central London where you can find tons of shops and other places to amuse you. And for me, I certainly don’t mind going back there again soon.
11. The underlined words “popped into” most probably could be replaced by “_____”.

Most cellphone companies design models especially for kids. But parents are usually the ones buying the phones. According to a July 2012 study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cellphone. The number goes up with age. The study just proves what many people already guessed: many kids, if not most, have their own cellphones.
According to a recent survey, 12 is the magic number. It is the most common age for kids to get their first cellphone. But 13% of children aged 6 to 10 already have one.
People who are for kids’ using cellphones, including many parents, notice that cellphones help kids keep in touch with their friends and families. They believe that cellphones are an important tool in a dangerous situation. Kids can reach their parents at all times. And some people say having a cellphone helps
teach kids to be responsible . Some cellphones designed for kids can be set to only work when parents approve (同意). What’s the harm in that?
But other people are worried about the health and safety effects of kids’ cellphones. They believe that kids with cellphones will spend less time playing outside with friends, and that sending text messages or making phone calls while doing homework makes it difficult for kids to concentrate. They say that kids are spending too much time texting instead of talking to each other. “Our brains developed to communicate face to face,” says Gary Small, a teacher at the UCLA School of Medicine, in California. “A lot of this is lost with texting.”
Another worry is cyberbullying (网络欺凌), which is on the rise as more kids use e-mail and text messages to communicate. And some experts are worried about possible health risks. They worry that energy waves produced by cellphones could be harmful to young people. To be safe, parents should not let them talk long on the phone.
16. By mentioning the results of a recent study, the author wants to show that .
A. not all cellphones meet kids’ needs
B. many kids have their own cellphones
C. not all parents buy their kids cellphones
D. kids who are old enough should have cellphones
17. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about .
A. how to make kids become responsible
B. the popularity of cellphones among kids
C. how kids can reach their friends and families
D. supporters’ opinions on kids’ using cellphones
18. Cellphones can be bad for kids because .
A. kids reduce personal communication
B. kids spend too much time playing games
C. kids don’t want to do their homework at home
D. cellphones have a bad influence on kids’ brains
19. What’s Gary Small’s attitude towards texting?
A. He is uncertain about it. B. He knows little about it.
C. He is against it. D. He is fond of it.
20. We can learn from the text that .
A. there’re cellphones specially designed for kids on the market
B. kids aged 6 to 10 have more cellphones than kids at other ages
C. kids who have cellphones have fewer friends than those who don’t
D. cellphones help kids improve their relationships with friends and families
C
A few years ago, I taught emotionally disturbed teenagers in a group home. These very tough kids often came directly from prison to my classroom. They often wanted to escape from the group home. They were society’s “throwaway” kids — youngsters without families to love and care for them. They desperately needed to receive love.
Then I found one thing more important for them. So, when a friend suggested an idea, I thought it would be a great program for my students. The plan was simple. We arranged（安排） that every Wednesday morning, I’d bring over my little crew, and they were supposed to clean the runs, wash dog
and cat bowls, and feed the animals at our local animal shelter.
Then came the risky part of the program. After doing their chores（家庭杂务）, the youngsters would earn the freedom to walk one of the dogs in the wooded area behind the shelter, where I couldn’t even see them.
We began the project. Each week, I carefully went over the list of students who had met the requirements. All that week, students worked hard to control their tempters and be cooperative. I emphasized（强调） how much the animals needed their love and care. As they served the animals, the youngsters were transforming（转变） before our eyes. Never before had they been considered contributing members of society. Yet now these kids begged to volunteer at the shelter.
As we had planned, my students walked the dogs, unwatched, in the woods for up to half an hour. I impressed on each of them my trust and respect that they’d bring back the animal in their care safely and on time.
Remarkably（显著地）, I never lost a student or an animal.
The world might not have needed or might have forgotten about my kids, but the animals didn’t. These shining animals showed some very needy（贫困地） kids the way back home from heartbreak and abuse.
21. In the writer’s opinion, the most helpful thing for these troubled kids was ________.
A. how to be accepted by society B. to be given enough love and care
C. to learn how to give others love and care
D. how to be taught to believe in others
22. What made walking dogs in the wooded area risky?
A. That the kids might not bring back animals on time.
B. That dogs might not follow the kids’ instructions.
C. That the writer couldn’t accompany the kids to the forest.
D. That the kids could escape without being watched by the teacher.
23. How did the kids get their teacher’s permission to walk the animals?
A. By controlling their tempters and learning to be cooperative.
B. By escaping from the group home.
C. By begging to volunteer at the shelter.
D. By trusting and respecting their teacher.
24. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. kids were free to do any activity they liked in the group home
B. the feeling of being needed helped these troubled kids change a lot
C. few people cared for the animals in the local animal shelter
D. few measures had been taken to help those “throwaway” kids
25. Why didn’t the kids escape when walking the dogs?
A. Because the dogs needed them.
B. Because they were trusted and respected by their teacher.
C. Because they would be punished.
D. Because they loved the group home.
