Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour* at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness*. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.

Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche* once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities* like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.

1. People settle in New York City because ________.

A．its position is convenient	B．its weather is comfortable
C．it has the business culture	D．it has a small population

2. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?

A．Two thirds of them stayed there.	B．Half of the people died.
C．Almost everyone gave up.	D．One fifth people got rich.

3. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?

A．They were unable to stand the winter there.

B．They didn’t have enough food and clothing.

C．They found the city too crowded everywhere.

D．They wanted to try their luck in other places.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．Tourism in Dawson.	B．The rise and fall of a city.
C．Journeys into the wilderness.	D．The gold rush in Canada.

① Do you ever worry about math when you’re at school? One important thing is to sit up straight when you’re taking your math exams, according to the scientists. Good posture (姿势) can help people feel more positive and careful. Sportsmen, musicians and public speakers can all get advantages from good posture.

② We all know air pollution is bad for our health. But it can also harm us in other ways. Scientists have found that air pollution may lead to more crimes. According to a study of 86 million people in the US, the worse the air pollution was, the more violent crime (暴力犯罪) there was. Scientists think the small pieces and toxic gas (毒气) in air may affect people’s actions. This might make them more violent.

③ Can AI read our minds? This might not be far away. Scientists from Australia and Germany have developed a type of AI that can guess people’s feelings by tracking (跟踪) and studying their eye movements. This finding could make robots and computers better at understanding humans.

④ Believe it or not, sportsmen tend to have worse teeth. A study shows that half of the top athletes (运动员) have tooth problems. This seems strange. They usually pay more attention to their health than the rest of us. Scientists found that sports drinks and energy food can cause tooth problem. Most sportsmen use these products for energy. But they have a lot of sugar which is bad for teeth.

【推荐3】Last week, some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport. The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission (许可) to miss school.

Like many places, it is against the law to skip (不参加) school in Germany. Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school. But during busy travel time, some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations. People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others.

Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany. People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to.

Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school-aged children. When they found them, the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them. They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school. If the children did not have permission, the police reported the families to their schools and to the government. In all, the police reported about 20 families.

These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school. If they can't, they may have to pay as much as $1,200 as a fine (罚款), or receive some other punishment.

Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school. Many other countries and many of the states in the U.S. have similar laws.

The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police. But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back.

1. Why do some German parents take their children out of school early during busy travel times?

A．They can spend more time with their children.

B．Their children will study by themselves.

C．They want to save money.

D．Their children can take online courses.

C．take students back to school

D．wait for school managers

3. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Laws on Vacations in Germany	B．Give Your Family a Perfect Vacation

【推荐2】Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can be easy if you don’t want or need to learn too much.
The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like running. Even if you run twice a week, you don’t necessarily want to be able to run a marathon (马拉松). You might just want to keep a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
Let’s get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the country, you know that you will be sure to do this. However, if you decide to talk to people with great fluency (流利), unless you are quite a talented person, you will probably fail and give up in half-way.
It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will not be able to move further because of grammar, making sentences, learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and sentences, you will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won’t have to spend too much time.
The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn’t the usual way to language learning, but it can be a very meaningful and enjoyable activity.
1. In the writer’s opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _______.

A．they are especially talented people

B．they don’t want or need to learn too much

C．they have to spend a lot of time on it

D．they have a chance to go abroad

2. The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _______.

A．forget your own goal

B．become a talented language learner

C．get tired of learning it

D．reach your learning goal

3. The best title of this passage would be _______.

A．Easy Language Learning

B．Hard Language Learning

C．Fluency in a Foreign Language

D．A way of Language Learning

Box-office monster “Zootopia” has been called the “most Easter egg-packed(彩蛋) movie ever made by Disney”. One of its Easter eggs comes to the species of the news anchor seen on the film’s ZNN channel. Depending on where in the world you’re watching “Zootopia”, the type of animals hosting may change.
Zootopia went a step further to make the different versions (版本). In the US, Canada, France, the news anchor is moose(麋鹿). In Brazil, it’s a jaguar(美洲虎). Australia and New Zealand get a koala; while Chinese audiences see a giant panda.

What can I say…. I’m a huge Disney fan. Maybe not like my friend over at ________________________, the Disney cartoons have been a big part of my life. So, in a sense, the Disney animated features are a big deal to me.
Whether young or old, Zootopia’s story carries a powerful and thematic commentary message that’s highly valued and relative (especially in today’s world). As Judy Hopps says in the movie “Life’s a little bit messy. We all make mistakes. No matter what type of animal you are, change starts with you.” And I can’t agree more with that statement.
