Watching kids' cartoons can be an effective way to learn a language. The basic plot lines of
kids' cartoons are fairly simple and the characters speak more slowly, and the dialogue is typically
standard and casual. Here are four worldwide popular kids' cartoons which may help you with your
English learning.
Peppa Pig
Peppa Pig, the pink piggy, has gained worldwide popularity. There are even videos showing an
American child speaking in a British accent to her mom after watching the popular cartoon.
The Simpsons
The Simpsons in the ' 90s was smart, culturally savvy ( 有 见 识 的 ), and unbelievably
entertaining TV about an average American family. At its height, no show — animated or otherwise
— could reach The Simpsons' greatness. From the cleverness of “Marge vs. the Monorail” to
everything Lisa Simpson ever said，The Simpsons was fearless and game-changing television.
Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time is a French educational animation, created by Procidis. There are seven
series (系列), each focusing on different aspects of knowledge. These are mostly historical, focusing
on the overall history of mankind or specified historical fields, such as the lives and achievements of
the explorers or inventors.
Sazae-san
Sazae-san is more than a kids' show. It's a cultural institution, a national treasure and the
longest- running animated series in the world, ever!
It's about a typical Japanese big family living together in Tokyo. The central character is an
outspoken but somewhat clumsy woman in her early 20s, living with her husband, son, father,
mother, brother and sister all under one roof.
All of the characters are colorful and funny, and all are named after fish!
21. Why does the American girl speak in a British accent?
A. She was born and brought up in Britain.
B. Peppa Pig has strongly influenced her.
C. The British accent is popular in America.
D. She wants to make fun of her mother.
22. What will a fan of history choose to watch?
A. Peppa Pig B. The Simpsons C. Once Upon a Time D. Sazae-san
23. What can you learn about Sazae-san from the text?
A. It is about an average American family.
B. It is the longest-running of the four.
C. It is a well-received French cartoon.
D. It includes seven different series.
B
One year, a newspaper of the United States published an announcement—the Horticultural (园
艺) Institute offered a reward at a high price for the pure white marigold (金盏花). The high reward
attracted so many people, but in nature besides golden, the marigold is brown；it is not easy to create
the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people forgot that announcement.
One normal day after 20 years, the Horticultural Institute accidentally received a letter and 100
seeds of pure white marigold. On that day the news spread like wildfire. It turned out to be an old
woman of over 70 years old. The institute had always been hesitating over the fact that the letter
stated with certainty that the seeds could bloom(开花) pure white marigold.
Those seeds finally took root in the earth. The wonder appeared after one year: large fields of
pure white marigold swung in the light wind. As a result, the old woman became a new focus.
Originally, the old woman was just a flower-lover. When she happened to read the
announcement 20 years ago, her heart kept beating wildly. But her eight children all opposed her
decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldn't complete what the
experts could never accomplish! Still, the old woman didn't change her mind and went on working
without hesitation. She spread some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year
later, when the marigold bloomed, she chose one faintest ( 暗 淡 ) from those golden and brown
flowers and made it wither (凋谢) naturally in order to get the best seed. The next year, she again
grew them and chose the faintest from these flowers to plant Year after year, through many cycles
of spring sowing and autumn harvest, the old woman's husband died; her children flew far and high;
a lot of things happened in her life but only the desire to grow the pure white marigold took root in
her heart. Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden, she saw a marigold, which
was not nearly white but as white as silver or snow.
Such a difficult problem as even experts couldn't cope with was readily solved by an old
woman who didn't understand genetics. Was it a wonder? Take root in the heart and even the most
common seed can grow into a wonder!
24. Why was a great reward offered by the Institute?
A. White flowers could be sold at a higher price
B. Pure white marigold was more beautiful in nature
C. It was very difficult to develop pure white marigold
D. Scientists wanted to know how marigold grew in nature
25. What can we know about the old woman from the passage?
A. She was 70 when she first read the announcement.
B. She sent pure white marigold flowers to the institute.
C. She got professional support from scientists.
D. She kept trying for years before she succeeded.
26. The underlined word “readily” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. easily B. quickly C. honestly D. luckily
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Seeds Take Root in the Heart
B. White Marigold is Never Alone
C. Marigolds Grow from Bravery
D. White Flowers Bring Success
C
The U.S. is still out in front of global competitors when it comes to innovation ( 革新), but
American universities—where new ideas often spread—have reason to look over their shoulders.
That's especially true for technologies like 5G phone networks and artificial intelligence. In
President Donald Trump's opinion, they're exactly the fields where the U.S. has to lead — and also
the ones where Asia, especially China, is catching up. Universities from China get more patents than
their U.S. peers in wireless communications, according to research firm GreyB Services. In AI, 17 of
the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China, with the Chinese Academy of
Sciences topping the list, says the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva.
There's a special place for universities in the development of science. Universities educate
future scientists and can be incubators (孵化器) for pie-in-the-sky ideas—some of which turn out to
be game-changers. The list ranges from Google's search engine to DNA technology that's behind a
whole industry of gene-manipulating (基因编辑) treatments.
However, government aids to universities haven't been growing for more than a decade,
meaning they've declined in real terms and as a share of the economy, leading to the cost increase for
universities and meanwhile somehow discouraging the teaching staff from putting all their hearts
into their scientific research.
"If you look at the federal dollars, they've not really changed considerably,” says Stephen
Susalka, head of AUTM, a technology transfer association whose members include 800 universities.
“Other countries are catching up. We can't be satisfied with what we have achieved.”
28.What does the underlined phrase “look over their shoulders” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Watch out B. Take off C. Stand up D. Hide away
29. The author mentions 5G phone networks in Paragraph 2 to show.
A. Chinese universities have obtained more patents than other countries
B. the Chinese government provides aids to Chinese universities
C. wireless communications are changed dramatically these years
D. U.S. universities may lose their lead in some high-tech fields
30. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Universities can be birthplaces of game programmers.
B. Pie-in-the-sky ideas from universities can be revolutionary.
C. Universities play an important role in science development.
D. Gene-manipulation helps to develop DNA technology.
31. What's Stephen Susalka's attitude towards the future development of U.S universities?
A. Worried. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.
D
Almost everyone has heard the expression “the calm before the storm.” It is usually used to
describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.
British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas
would seem to become still and the winds would drop.
Science has given us the reason. According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period
occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid(湿热的) air
from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the
storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed
out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it
becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period
before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes.
In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的)
winds.
The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many
seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one
kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A
good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the
right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds.
So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding
a coming storm in your area. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display( 展 示 ) of
nature's temper (脾气).
32. What is the function of Paragraph 3?
A. To describe how the eye of the storm comes into being.
B. To stress why tornadoes and hurricanes are destructive.
C. To explain why a peaceful period occurs before some storms.
D. To remind how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.
33. If you count fifteen seconds between a lightening flash and a thunder clap, the storm may be .
A. one kilometer away B. three kilometers away
C. four kilometers away D. five kilometers away
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Heavy storms don't usually last long. B. It is not always quiet before a storm.
C. Storms have a big influence on our life. D. Weather reports often fail to predict a storm.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A travel journal. B. A science fiction.
C. A literature review. D. A geography magazine.

Have you ever been too shy to express thanks towards someone? Well, a new study says you
should not worry about that so much.
Recently, researchers have published a study on how people gave and 61 (receive) letters
of thanks. 62 they found was that expressing and receiving appreciation increased 63
(happy) for both sides, but people's self-consciousness (自我意识) often made 64 less possible for
them to express their appreciation.
In the experiments, the researchers asked 65 (hundred) of participants to write an email to
someone close to them 66 (express) their appreciation and giving 67 specific example of
how that person made their lives better.
The writers often underestimated (低估) the positive effect that the emails would have 68 the
receivers. They thought that the receivers would feel 69 (awkward) and uncomfortable over
the letters than they actually were. Contrary to the writers' belief, the receivers were thankful, warm
and understanding.
So next time you feel hesitant about expressing your appreciation for others, remember that it
will most 70 (probable) go a lot better than you think.

I have many hobbies and I think fishing put at the top of the list. It is for fishing that has helped
me improve my self-control.
My study was not satisfactory because of my impatience three years ago. When seeing that, my
father comes up with a good idea and taught me why to fish to overcome my shortcoming. Telling
that fishing was full of funs, I followed him without hesitation. Actually, fishing turned out to be
more difficult than I had expected. To grasp a skill, I tried hardly and became a skilled fisher. It is
