Compared with nearly 45 percent in 2015, this year about 40 percent of left-behind children in China meet their parents less than twice a year, according to a survey on left-behind children. Only 37 percent of surveyed children had both parents working in their hometown. 27 percent had one parent working outside their hometown, while the remaining 36 percent were considered left-behind children who did not have either parent around or their guardian. “That’s still a big proportion( 比率),” said Li Yifei, a professor at Beijing Normal University who led the research. “It’s estimated (估计) there are six million left-behind children in China and they need a lot of care.” According to the survey, left-behind children are likely to enter a rebellious phase(叛逆期) in Grade 5, one or two years earlier than children in normal families. “It’s easy for children to ‘“study or imitate(模仿) the behaviors of people close to them, but they are mostly not familiar with their parents,” Li said. “The emotion gap(情感裂痕) between the parents and children resulting from long-term separation cannot be easily bridged.” The report called for more communication between parents and left-behind children. Many of the parents work in the big cities, so some companies have also tried to improve that communication. Wu Guohui, a public relations officer at China Construction Second Engineering Bureau, said, “Thousands of parents of left-behind children work in our company and we plan to invite some of their children to witness their work in person.” Wu said he thought that by watching how their parents work, children would understand their parents’ hardship and make them closer. Support from schools is also needed. "Children who don’t get parental care are often not confident in dealing with things and getting on well with others,’ Li said. “So, schools can provide more chances for them to prove and show themselves.” 【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph? A.More left-behind children meet their parents less than twice a year in 2018, compared with 2015. B.27% left-behind children in the survey had either parent working outside their hometown. C.There are about 6 million left-behind children in the world and they need a lot of care. 【2】When do some children in normal families enter a rebellious phase? A.In Grade 4 B.In Grade 5 C.In Grade 6 【3】What does the underlined word “witness” mean? A.协助 B.目睹 C.评价 【4】We need support from schools________. A.to bridge the emotion gap between the left-behind children and their parents. B.to make parents understood by their children. C.to help left-behind children feel confident. 【5】The passage mainly wants us to know________. A.how many left-behind children there are in China B.why parents should be there for their children C.how to care for the left-behind children |

 “Add oil,” a popular Chinese phrase has been officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED 牛津英语词典). “Add oil” is a direct English translation of the Chinese phrase “jiayou”, an exclamation used very often across China to express encouragement or support for someone else. The phrase, “jiayou” in Chinese, literally (字面上) means put petrol to an engine. Chinese often speak it loudly in games and competitions to encourage players. It was Hugo Tseng, an English professor at Taiwan’s Soochow University, who first noticed the entry (条目). Tseng said excitedly that for more than 10 years he had been often checking for the phrase following each OED quarterly update (更新). Long before, a number of other Chinese phrases have been included in the OED, such as Guanxi (personal connections that are good for business) and Lucky money (cash given in red envelopes). In 2014, the American Urban Dictionary(城市词典) collected several Chinese internet buzzwords, such as “no zuo no die” (which translates into English as “if you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back and bite you in the back”), “you can you up, no can no BB” (which means “if you can do it you should go on and do it, instead of criticizing others’ work”). The process for adding new words to the Oxford English Dictionary is as follows. • Dictionary compilers(编著者) notice a word’s widespread and repeated use by people. • Degree of shared use and easy understanding will influence the consideration. • Qualifying buzzwords from different languages are placed on a “watch list” for consideration. • New additions first appear in the dictionary’s official web databank before hard copies are printed. The online version(版本) is renewed every three months. The next update is in December. 【1】When Chinese speak “jiayou” loudly in games, it doesn’t mean________. A.encouraging the runners to catch up B.supporting for the players C.adding energy to the cars 【2】How might Professor Hugo Tseng feel when he noticed “add oil” was collected into the OED? A.Nervous B.Excited C.Interested 【3】What does the underlined word “buzzwords” mean? A.中式英语 B.网络语言 C.流行语 【4】According to the passage, many Chinese buzzwords have been added into the OED EXCEPT________. A.no zuo no die B.Lucky money C.Guanxi 【5】What is the passage mainly about? A.A new Chinglish phrase appeared in the Oxford Dictionary. B.Chinglish is no longer a problem for Chinese students. C.The process for adding new words to the Oxford English Dictionary |

 When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a general sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions(第一印象) are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person—that is, by looking at their profile image(头像). 【1】. In the study, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to explain the profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets (推文). At the same time, about 434 volunteers were asked to complete a survey about their personality type. The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality—like openness, neuroticism(神经质) and extroversion (外向) —and a person’s profile picture. The results show us that open people are more likely to use things such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. 【2】. They try to avoid showing their face; instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building. That’s because neurotic people are strongly influenced by the “strong social norm (社会规范) against a very sad or angry appearance in profile pictures,” Daniel Preoiuc-Pietro from the University of Pennsylvania wrote in the research paper. Besides the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some information about the photo’s owner. 【3】, as they want to have their personality noticed and show themselves off, the researchers wrote. Profile photos not only usually stand for one’s self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we’d like to express. 【4】. A.However, neurotic people often hold back their negative(消极的) emotions B.You’d better find out your personality clearly C.After all (毕竟), first impressions always last D.According to a recent study, these profile photos say a lot about our personality E.For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images |

Cities around the world have lanes(道路) for cyclists and pedestrians(行人), but in Xi’an , Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, a special lane has been built in front of a mall for phubbers who lower their heads and are busy with phones wherever they go. Painted in red, blue and green, the 1-meter wide and 100-meter long lane is said to improve phubbers’ safety in public. The introduction of the lane was welcomed by many people. “Young people’s lives nowadays are fast, and they’re always looking at their phones.” Hu Shuya, a Xi’an local said. “This lane puts our minds at rest - those of us who are often looking at our phones.” It’s a form of protection.

They may be completely wrong --- a separate(单独) lane will not guaranteed(保证) that the smartphone users won’t knock into each other. The smartphone lane in Xi’an is not the first of its kind. In 2014, the city of Washington in the United States introduced a separate lane for phubbers. And that same year, Chongqing created China’s first phubber lane. 【1】Who is the special lane in front of a mall in Xi’an built for? _______________________________________________________ 【2】How long is the special lane? _______________________________________________________ 【3】Why are the pictures of mobile phone painted on the lane? _______________________________________________________ 【4】Does everyone think it a good idea to build such a special lane? _______________________________________________________ 【5】According to the passage, how many cities have such a lane? _______________________________________________________ |
