    I Remember, I Remember

    by Thomas Hood

    I remember, I remember,

    The house where I was born,

    The little window where the sun

    Came peeping (偷窥) in at morn;

    He never came a wink (眨眼) too soon,

    Nor brought too long a day,

    But now, I often wish the night

    Had borne my breath away (夺走)!

    I remember, I remember,

    The roses, red and white,

    The violets, and the lily-cups,

    Those flowers made of light!

    The lilacs where the robin (知更鸟) built,

    And where my brother set

    The laburnum on his birthday, -

    The tree is living yet!

    I remember, I remember,

    Where I was used to   ▲   ,

    And thought the air must rush as fresh

    To swallows (燕子) on the wing;

    My spirit flew in feathers (羽毛) then,

    That is so heavy now,

    And summer pools could hardly cool

    The fever on my brow (眉毛)!

    I remember, I remember,

    The fir trees dark and high;

    I used to think their slender (细长) tops

    Were close against the sky:

    It was a childish ignorance (无知),

    But now this is little joy

    To know I'm farther off from heaven

    Than when I was a boy.

    My 6-year-old granddaughter Caitlin and I stopped at a bakery shop for a chocolate cake. As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.

    This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and a tuft of (一簇) blue hair on top. His left ear and nose were pierced. And attached (系上) to both of them was a silver chain that ran across half of his face. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.

    Caitlin, who was walking in front of me, stopped when she saw the teen. I thought she'd be frightened of him.

    I was wrong. She backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. I stepped aside and let the boy pass. He smiled and said: "________________"

    On our way to the car, I talked with Caitlin about holding open the door for the boy. "Were you troubled by the boy's look?" I still wanted to make sure. But the only thing Caitlin noticed about the teen was the fact that his arms were full. "He would have had a hard time to open the door."

    I saw the shaved (剃光的) head, the blue hair, the piercings and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.

    In the future, I hope to get on her level and raise my sights.

    (1)、What was the writer's first impression (印象) on the young man?
    A、She thought he might be great skater. B、She thought he might be a trouble maker. C、She thought he might be an actor. D、She thought he might be a homeless child.
    (2)、The underlined word "frightened" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "__________".
    A、fond B、pleased C、scared D、tired
    (3)、According to the passage, what would the teenage boy probably say to the writer?
    A、Would you please get out of my way? B、It is very kind of you. C、Hurry up! I am running late. D、How smart your granddaughter is!
    (4)、What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence?
    A、She will be more careful and not let her granddaughter get her ears pierced. B、She will teach her granddaughter to play more sports in order to be healthier. C、She will learn from her granddaughter and never judge a man by his look. D、She will always be open to different ideas and always be ready to help others.
  • 4. 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

        Do sugary drinks cause overweight? While we know that sugary drinks have calories (卡路里), which are believed to cause overweight, many questions remain. For example, is soda any better? Do you need a sports drink after going to the gym? Here are the facts to some common misunderstandings.

    Misunderstanding 1: Clear soda (无色汽水) is healthier than dark soda.

        The truth: The dark color of teeth has something to do with the coloring (着色剂) in soda. Lisa R. Young, a professor of Nutrition at New York University said. But the big difference between clear and dark sodas is the caffeine content (咖啡因含量). Since a bottle of soda, whether Coca-Cola or Sprite (雪碧), has less caffeine than that in a cup of coffee, most soda drinkers probably don't need to worry about what to choose.

    Misunderstanding 2: If you need caffeine to cheer you up, you should choose an energy drink rather than coffee.

        The truth: There are more sugar than caffeine in energy drinks such as Red Bull (红牛). Energy drinks may be easier to drink. But a cup of coffee has between 95 and 200 milligrams (毫克) of caffeine while Red Bull has about 80mg per the same amount, according to US medical research group Mayo Clinic.

    Misunderstanding 3: If you go to the gym, you need a sports drink.

        The truth: It would be easy to think that you need a sports drink any time you sweat (出汗). But the truth is that the energy in your body won't be used up until you've done more than an hour of training. So you only need to drink some water after a 45-minute exercise on the running machine.

    (1)、There are _____________ misunderstandings discussed in the passage.
    A、one B、two C、three D、four
    (2)、The underlined word "that" means _____________ in the passage.
    A、Coca-Cola B、Sprite C、coloring D、caffeine
    (3)、The following statements are true EXCEPT_____________.
    A、The coloring in soda is responsible for the dark colors of people's teeth. B、Soda drinkers don't need to make a hard decision according to the caffeine content. C、Compared with coffee, Red bull is a better choice if people need a lot of energy. D、With the energy in the body, people can do at least 60-mintue training.
    (4)、The passage would be probably taken from _________ in the newspaper.
    A、technology B、sports C、health D、advertisement
  • 5. 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    Being a fit and healthy person is very important for lots of people today. In fact, some people like running and exercising so much that they become obsessed with keeping track of it.

    Thanks to fitness apps and gadgets (小玩意), people can measure every step they take, what they eat and every calorie (热量) they burn. They might wear a special watch on their wrist, shoes on their feet or use different apps on their phone to measure their movements. Importantly, once they have done that they post it on social media. All of their friends can see where they've run, what workout they've done or what they had for lunch.

        Doctor Daniel Kraft from the United States makes gadgets for people like this. He told the Digital Health Summit that these people, known as "trackaholics" (追踪狂), would become the norm (常态) in the future.

    And I think he's right. I can see the world of health and fitness changing around me every day. One of my friends, named Anna Palmer, is always using the latest fitness gadgets. Her favorite is an app called Argus. She uses it on her phone to measure her steps, heart rate (心率) and amount of calories she has burnt. She always posts these things, and pictures of herself exercising, on social media. "It's nice to know how much exercise you have done, rather than guess," she said. "That way I can keep pushing myself to improve." Also, my friends in China use WeChat (微信) to compare how many steps they've taken each day. They are very competitive about this!

    (1)、The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 is similar to the phrase "____________".
    A、become excited about B、become busy with  C、become crazy about D、become tired of
    (2)、The second paragraph mainly talks about____________.
    A、what fitness apps and gadgets can do B、how fitness apps and gadgets work C、what advantages fitness apps and gadgets have D、how fitness apps and gadgets affect people's life
    (3)、Doctor Daniel Kraft believes that____________.
    A、fitness gadgets don't help people keep fit B、fewer people will use fitness gadgets in the future C、fitness gadgets will enjoy great popularity in the future D、more people will make the fitness gadgets in the future
    (4)、The best title for this passage may be "____________".
    A、Ways to Keep Healthy B、Fitness Gadgets Are Easy to Use C、Keeping Track of Fitness Becomes the Norm D、Keeping Health Is of Great Importance
  • 6. 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

        Paper cups, plastic bags and old newspapers. There are so many single-use things (一次性物品) that we throw away after using only once.

        According to news website Quartz, we are now living in a "throw-away society". Single-use has become a natural way of life and can be seen almost everywhere.

        Every day, we see new memes (表情包), stories and Internet slang (网络俚语) on social media. With so many of them coming out all the time, the lifespan (寿命) of each becomes short - they become "single-use online products". This also means social media users are always searching for the next big thing.

        You may feel frustrated (沮丧) when trying to keep up with these memes and slang, but you just cannot help but keep scrolling(滚屏). It is endless - no matter it's WeChat Moments (朋友圈), Sina Weibo or Facebook.

        While you read single-use content (内容) online, you also produce it. Since 2017, WeChat Moments (朋友圈) has allowed users to make only the last three days of their posts viewable (可见的). As a result, more and more people don't take their posts seriously.

        Since it doesn't take too much time and energy to communicate anymore, we now even have disposable (用后即扔的) friendships, according to a story in Fast Company.

        A single-use way of life may give you quick pleasure. But the pleasure may not last for long because there is no deep thought behind it. Maybe we need to slow down and enjoy a more thoughtful way of life.

    (1)、According to the passage, we can always find new memes and slang in the following places except ____________.
    A、WeChat Moments B、Textbooks C、Sina Weibo D、Facebook
    (2)、Where can we best put "But the idea of single-use is about more than just plastic and paper."?
    A、 B、 C、 D、
    (3)、Why does the writer mention "WeChat Moments' three days viewable" in Paragraph 5?
    A、To show that WeChat take all the users' privacy (隐私) seriously. B、To explain the reason why the lifespan of memes and slang becomes short. C、To teach WeChat users how to post something meaningful on their Moments. D、To prove that we are producing single-use things when we read them online.
    (4)、What is the writer's opinion of single-use way of life?
    A、As long as singe-use way of life gives us pleasure, we should enjoy it. B、Single-use life will be helpful to our relationship with others. C、We need to think twice and lead a more thoughtful way of life. D、Single-use life is a natural way of life and we should get used to it.
    (5)、The writer would probably talk about __________ if he continues to write this passage.
    A、the disadvantages of singe-use way of life B、the reasons that cause singe-use way of life C、the ways to avoid singe-use way of life D、different opinions about singe-use way of life.
