• 2．School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason.It wasn't long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches.In February a 1.7-inch tumor（腫瘤）was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation（放射療法）treatments.Before treatments start，technicians make a white plastic mask（面罩）to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
     It's an unpleasant experience and a frightening time.The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. "I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids，" she told The Greenville News. "I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them，they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment." Because the kids are afraid.While the treatment itself isn't physically painful，it can cause a lot of anxiety.And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.And the masks really make a difference. "The kids really like them，" Cook said. "It makes what is，let's face it，a terrible experience，a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves."
     When new children come in for the treatment，Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are.Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper，sticking it with glue，and once it's dry，she applies the colors using paints.Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
     "Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain.I wanted to make it fun，" she said. "The kids really love it.It's something they enjoy and can relate to.And it fills an interest I have.I get great pleasure from it."
  
  （1）Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1？

  
  A．To check the patient's brain.
  B．To reduce the patient's headache.
  C．To prevent the patient from throwing up.
  D．To protect the patient's brain during the treatment.
  （2）What can we know about the radiation treatment？

  
  A．It can be received at home.
  B．It has to be finished in a month.
  C．It may make the patients feel worried.
  D．It will cause huge physical pain for patients.
  （3）What does Cook do to help the children being treated？

  
  A．Offer them some free masks as gifts.
  B．Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.
  C．Dress them up as cartoon characters.
  D．Make the masks more interesting to kids.
  （4）What does the author want to show by telling this story？

  B．Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
  C．Health matters to everyone.
  D．Creativity leads to success.

• 3．Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers，small，tightly kn it （聯(lián)系） groups developed their own patterns of speech independ ent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．
     Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially g lobalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．
     At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位數(shù)） of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．
     Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three） or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question-mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．
  
  （1）What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times？

  
  A．They developed very fast．
  B．They were large in number．
  C．They had similar patterns．
  D．They were closely connected．
  （2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Complex．
  B．Advanced．
  C．Powerful．
  D．Modern．
  （3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？

  
  A．About 6，800．
  B．About 3，400．
  C．About 2，400．
  D．About 1，200．
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．New languages will be created．
  B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．
  C．Human development results in fewer languages．
  D．Geography determines language evolution．

• 4．Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself，quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad．What is she reading？None of your business!Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time．And like more Americans，she's not alone．
     A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America．More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves．Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report．
     "I prefer to go out and be out．Alone，but together，you know？"Bechtel said，looking up from her book．Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with coworkers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk．A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder．She returns to work feeling energized． "Today，I just wanted some time to myself，"she said．
     Just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar．He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）． "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week，" he said． "It's a chance for self-reflection，You return to work recharged and with a plan．"
     That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone．There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over．Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table． "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before al the advances in technology，" said Laurie Demerit，whose company provided the statistics for the report．
  
  （1）What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about？

  
  A．Food variety．
  B．Eating habits．
  C．Table manners．
  D．Restaurant service．
  （2）Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？

  
  A．To meet with her coworkers．
  B．To catch up with her work．
  C．To have some time on her own．
  D．To collect data for her report．
  （3）What do we know about Mazoleny？

  
  A．He makes videos for the bar．
  B．He's fond of the food at the bar．
  C．He interviews customers at the bar．
  D．He's familiar with the barkeeper．
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．The trend of having meals alone．
  B．The importance of self-reflection．
  C．The stress from working overtime．
  D．The advantage of wireless technology．

• 5．As teens grow older，it's normal for them to spend more time with friends.It's a normal part of teens' development and a lot of socialization is healthy.（1）

  If you notice any of these signs，it's important to limit （限制） the amount of time your teens spends with friends.
     ?Time with friends influences other responsibilities.If your teen ignored his responsibilities because he is spending too much time with friends or chatting with them on social media，he needs help in managing his time.He should get in the way of doing homework，finishing things or taking care of other responsibilities.（2）

  Provide enough guidance until he's better able to read to refuse invitations from friends.
     ?（3）

  Don't give him unlimited access （接觸的機會） to his friends if he's not earning that special right.
     ?Your teen is hardly at home.（5）

  If your teen wants to spend the night at friends' home more often than usual，set some limits to make sure that he's spending time with family.
     It's important for you to pay attention to your teen's activities.It's also important that your teen is around so that he's still being influenced by you and your family values.

  B.Your teen is hanging out with the wrong crowd.
