【推荐1】根据短文内容，从短文后面选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余项。

Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It takes place when you are aged between thirteen and nineteen.     1     You may go through some changes. For example, you used to be happiest in the company of your parents. But now you need your own space and some privacy. In the past, your parents made most decisions for you, but now you want to decide things for yourself.

    2     But it is important to remember that they will affect your relationship with your parents. So what can you do to make sure that you stay on good terms with your parents?

Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have forever lost the little child you once were. They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss.

Secondly, try to agree with your family rules. You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main concern (顾虑) is just to keep you safe.     3     It may feel like a nuisance (麻烦事) to remember to phone them and let them know where you are, but make the effort anyway.

    4     Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need it. The more disconnected they feel, the more distrustful and controlling they become.

A．Finally, it’s all about communication!

B．All these changes are perfectly normal.

C．Your parents will expect you to behave responsibly.

D．Once you have agreed with the rules, try to stick to them.

E．As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently.

【推荐3】Recent years have witnessed the returning of bikes across China. An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike had 5.85 million active users while ofo had 1.4 million in the first week of this year.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re   popular among many Chinese people because they help solve “last-mile” problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city.

However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破 坏 ) and theft( 偷 盗 ). In February,   two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留)   for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.

In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.

Now, Chinese service organizations are also trying to deal with these problems.   For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score(信用分数)   for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金)will be increased from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.

1. Why are the shared bikes popular in cities according to the second paragraph?

A．Because people can find them everywhere.

B．Because people can go to different places easily.

C．Because it is convenient to pay for it

D．Because they help solve “last- mile” problems in cities,

2. What reward will people get if they return Velib bikes to stations?

A．People will be rewarded by getting free time for their next rides.

B．People will be rewarded by getting 100 point credit score.

C．People will be rewarded by paying less when they use the shared bikes.

D．People will be rewarded by riding bikes for free forever.

3. Bike-sharing plans have also led to problems for example,   _.

A．people park their bikes wherever they want to

B．people steal the shared bikes

C．people reuse the broken bike parts

D．Both A and B.

【推荐3】From an early age, the teacher taught us if we wanted to be successful, we had to work hard and get good results. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?

In many parents’ eyes, school grades are the most important for their children. In reality (现实), there are many things to consider besides the school subjects. For example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.

Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may be successful in life. You may have already known that some celebrated people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.

Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section (部分) of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying (令人满意的) life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents. That’s how you can live a happy and successful life.

Animals have their special ways to deal with hard times in nature. The superb fairy-wren, one kind of bright-blue bird in Australia, is one example. This year, a ten-year study showed that this small bird has eggs of different sizes in different kinds of weather. When the weather is hot and dry there is less food for young superb fairy-wrens, and they die easily. So the mother bird will make larger eggs to help her babies grow stronger inside before they break out of the eggs into the "hungry" world.

However, not all mother birds are able to do this. Only those with at least one male child can. When the weather is "good", the mother will make smaller eggs, and her sons will bring food back for their baby brothers and sisters from the eggs. With her sons' help, the mother can save more energy to make larger eggs when the weather is bad. Isn't this amazing?

【推荐2】In the last century, different natural disasters have robbed several cultural heritage (遗产) from us. On WeChat, some people say, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonders anymore.” But people can see them in a new way—through a video game. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like they are in reality, and see the wonders as they were before the fire.

Maybe digital technology (数字技术) could help protect cultural heritage better. This idea dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to develop since then. By scanning (扫描) the ancient buildings, building 3D models, as well as measuring everything, scientists can make a copy exactly as the real one.

As computers and smart phones are popular, the digital copy has great value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural heritage without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.

Second, it can make the cultural heritage more famous by spreading information about them through the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Dunhuang Grottoes became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.

Last, it stores all the information of the cultural heritage. Even if the real ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a new one if wanted. Of course, however exact a model is, it is not the real one.

Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to protect cultural heritage at the moment.

A．by entering the buildings	B．through a video game

【推荐3】What do you think is the most important invention of the past 2000 years? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.

【推荐2】Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example they can help people save much time and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.

Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. Yet many of the children use computers to play games to watch video or to sing Karaoke instead of studying.

In some other countries even some scientists hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lost their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble.

Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves.

【推荐3】In the past, a diary (日记) was something you kept secret. You wrote down your ideas and feelings. But you didn’t want others to read it. Then the Internet came. These days many young people write diaries just for other people to read. In the US, one in five students have their own web page. There are stories, pictures and, of course, diaries on it.

Lots of children like writing online diaries because they can write anything they like. “In real life, you can’t always say what you think.” says Mandy, a student from California. “But on the Internet, you are more free.” Mandy has over twenty thousand fans on the Internet. They know what she’s busy with, what she’s wearing and how she feels through her page. Mandy gets about two hundred emails every day from her fans.

However, some people are not sure that online diaries are safe. “The young need to be careful about what they write on a website.” says a mother of three. “You don’t know who’s visiting your website and maybe they’re trying to find you,” she says, “It’s playing with fire.”
