The poor man's son was named Ham, and the rich man's son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends.
One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, "Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful." Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting.
Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. "You may do as you like," answered Ham, "but for my part, I must look for work." So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating, drinking and having fun all day.
One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, "My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘wealth or effort is more important', I think I've already had the answer."

D、Dream.(4)、What is the answer Jim has found?A、Efforts are the source of wealth. B、Not failure, no success. C、A friend is easier lost than found. D、Education is the door to freedom.3. 阅读理解Children seem to care so much about their names. A study shows that most of young people wish their parents had given them a different name.
Some people choose to change their names when they grow up. Many people in show business don't use the names their parents gave them. Have you ever listened to Joanne? No? The answer could be "yes" if we call her stage name instead! You may never heard of Margaret. But if we tell you her stage name, you might know her as a famous dancer.
In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their family for many years. It tells the child where he or she comes from.
Choosing a good name isn't easy. Many parents search books that tell them the meanings of names. They could choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means "valuable gift". Amanda means "love". And Fara means "joy".
Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during the birth of the child. In Africa, a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means "born on Saturday".
Is every boy called Curitis polite? And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy? No parents can tell what kind of person their child will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn't mean he will be clever. All they can do is hope.
(1)、What can we know about the study?A、Young kids don't care about their future. B、Most of young people care about their names. C、Most girls want to change their names. D、Most parents want to rename by themselves.(2)、Why is "Joanne" mentioned in paragraph 2?A、To prove some people hope to be renamed. B、To introduce a famous dancer to readers. C、To introduce her true name. D、To tell the benefit of name.(3)、Why is it difficult to choose a good name?A、Kids always want to rename. B、It is hard to change kids' names. C、Parents aren't sure if their kids will like the name. D、Parents want to choose a meaningful name.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Names can never influence our lives B、Your parents' wish is behind names C、Love your parents, love your name D、Methods to choose a suitable name4. 阅读理解Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens. Some parents think that even a little screen time can be extremely addictive, so it is better if their children avoid using or seeing these devices completely. However, it is difficult for working adults in the 21st century to give up using a phone at home. So, it's simpler to employ someone to do this.
"Silicon Valley nanny (保姆)", who takes children back to a time without screens every day is widely needed. From Cupertino to San Francisco, it's widely agreed that screen time is harmful to youngsters. Therefore, parents are requesting nannies to keep phones, tablets and computers in a hidden place. Others even offer no-phone agreements.
Research shows that spending too much time on technology can harm young minds. For example, teenagers who use social media frequently are more likely to feel depressed and anxious. Insomnia (失眠) rates have also increased amongst this age group, and an increasing number of children display the signs that they can't focus attention. These seemingly minor (轻微的) problems could become significant challenges for future generations.
"Many parents come back home and focus on their smartphones, ignoring whatever their children are trying to say," said Shannon Zimmerman, who works as a nanny in San Jose for families that forbid screen time. "As a nanny, I also call on more parents to spend more time with their kids."
(1)、Why are the Silicon Valley nannies greatly needed according to the text?A、To help parents and children balance work and life. B、To teach children how to use technology responsibly. C、To keep children away from screens. D、To encourage children to exercise.(2)、What is the result of spending too much time on screens for teenagers?A、Feeling confused. B、Feeling anxious. C、Feeling bored. D、Feeling nervous.(3)、What does Shannon suggest parents do?A、Encourage their children more. B、Play games with their children. C、Stop using smartphones at home. D、Spend more time with their children.(4)、What is the text about?A、Parents concern about screen time for children. B、Children are addicted to screen time. C、All parents limit children to phones. D、Science has no effects on young minds.二、阅读,第二节 (共5 小题;每小题 2.5分,满分 12.5分)

9. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn't anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash it all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn't a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he'd had a pretty rough time, had been watching her from the table around the corner.
This boy was in rough shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they'd seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and his face had streaks (条痕) of dirt on it. He had that look of someone who hadn't had a good meal too long. When the lady left, the boy saw his chance, He quickly sat down and started wolfing down the leftovers (吃剩的食物) like it was the best meal he'd ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who'd probably seen everything. He didn't say anything at first, just watched the boy for a second. The boy got scared, stopped eating, and tears started to fill his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy's heart sank.
The boy got up to leave, but before he could get far, the waiter came back and asked the boy to wait for a moment. The waiter gave him a full and fresh meal.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The whole cafe went quiet when they saw what was happening.
……
The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked as if he couldn't thank the waiter enough.
