阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Since the introduction of the two-child policy in 2016, an increasing number of well-educated women have quit their jobs and are staying home to take care of their babies. But is it waste of talent for a highly educated woman to become a housewife? Forum readers share their opinion.
Tenith (Malaysia)
Never a waste. Her children will enjoy mother’s love . Compared to other women’s children, her children will grow into better persons and become more confident, if she grooms them properly instead of pampering(纵容) them .
Ratfink (Australia)
It’s up to the woman to make a decision based on her circumstances. Education is never wasted by a woman who wants to become a housewife as she will use her education to enhance the learning experiences of her children and also around the house.It’s no one’s business but the woman as to what she does with her education.
Seneca (Expat in China)
She just needs to bear in mind that a mother has no right to regret her motherhood. Motherhood is destiny; if you become mother, then you must accept it unconditionally, whether as full-time housewife- and-mother or as a part-timer who makes extra bucks during part of her week.
TedM (UK)
Caring for your children by staying at home with them, or following a career...or maybe both if the work involves Internet work from home, or running a business from home...all are lifestyle choices. Often choices are limited by money or by the expectations of others. As for "stay-at-home fathers", this has been a growing situation in England for many years. Sometimes this is a choice made because today a woman can earn far more than her partner. Sometimes it is because the man is considered a better option to be the "House-husband".
21. Who takes the view that the housewife is a waste for a well-educated woman?
A. Tenith and Ratfink B. Ratfink and Seneca
C. Seneca and TedM D.None.
22. Which is the advantage of the well-educated housewives?
A. They have more life style choice.
B. They can enhance their own learning experience.
C. They can educate their children better.
D. They can both care for children at home and follow a career.
23.Why is “stay-at-home fathers ” a growing situation in England?
A. Because they will not be laughed at like Chinese men.
B. Because today a woman can earn far more than her partner.
C. Because they love to stay at home and look after the family.
D. Because they want to change the situation and lead a different lifestyle.
24. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Well-educated housewives contribute to educating better children.
B. Is it waste for well-educated women to be housewives?
C. Motherhood is destiny you cannot regret.
D. Nowadays a woman earns more than a man.
B

There is a common , usually round object that you can see ever day and it appears in many expressions—buttons! Buttons , which are made of mental or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing .They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.
To be cute as a button is an old saying , which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why . But they do say the expression dates from the late 1860s.
Here is another expression associated with button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative .People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.
When buttoning a button, you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button . So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped him in a spoken conversation .Now , let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking ! Finally , you can’t stand it any longer. You tell him to button it! This is a direct, but a little rude way of saying “Stop talking!” “Button your lip” is another equally rude way to stop a person who talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know how to get that person annoyed or upset . People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons.
29. What is the function of buttons?
A. They can make clothes look more beautiful.
B. They can link a part of clothes to another.
C. They can make people enjoy a better life.
D. They can make clothes more durable(耐用的).
30. If you think someone’s clothing is traditional ,what will you say?
A. You are cute as a button. B. You are button--down.
C. Buttonhole you ! D. Push your buttons.
31. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By listing figures. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By making contrast. D. By listing and explaining expressions.
32.What is the best title for the text?
A. Expressions about button B. What is button?
C. What is button for ? D.Button is important
D

M: Yes, I think so.

W: Look at these new school desks! They have little things built under them so the children can exercise in class. Are our kids really that fat?

Well, I’d like to introduce three hotels for yound visitors. The first one is the Hotel Nova. It’s in the town center and has a large car park It’s also near the railway station, so it’s very convenient.What makes it a bit different from other hotels is that it now has a swimming pool. This has only just opened. The hotel has had a fitness center for some time. It’s very popular with guests and there’s also a game room. About a kilometer from the center and in a quiet spot is the Canvey Hotel. It’s near the musuem. It’s a great place to stay because it looks out over the park. You can play tennis there and there’s plenty of room for picnics. This hotel has an advantage over the others because it offers dinner. And it’s very good value. I’d also like to mention a new house.

For Zack, the shave was more than just a way to fund lifesaving research. It was a way to honor his late brother, Taylor Frink.
Taylor, a volunteer firefighter in North Carolina, was killed in a car accident last September. Before his passing, Taylor was an eager supporter of St. Baldrick’s. He went bald(秃头)for the cause in 2015, supporting kids with cancer and raising money to find cures.
As a local hero, Taylor was beloved by the community. When he died, more than 1, 000 people attended his funeral to pay their respects. Zack looked up to his brother and this was the reason why he decided to become a junior firefighter himself. They did everything together. Zack remembers.
Zack knew his brother had planned to shave again in 2016, so without hesitation he decided to fill his shoes and registered to shave at the local St. Baldrick’s event in Kinston, N. C.
“He was always goodhearted, and I want to make my brother proud,” shares Zack.
As part of Zack’s kindnesses, he raised more than $ 1,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation primarily by selling T-shirts he designed. Leading up to the event, Zack also visited his city council, commissioner’s office and challenged the local official department to get involved.
“We are not going to let Taylor’s name be forgotten. That is what I love about St Baldrick’s,” says Jean Culbreth, volunteer event organizer. “Zack gets it. He gets that what he is doing is keeping his brother’s name alive.”
The day finally came and Zack took his seat under the clippers (剪具), not only to honor his brother but to help kids with cancer. It was a special moment for all, and by the end of the day the event had raised more than $ 22,000!
24. Why did Taylor Frink go bald?

“Belittle” was first used by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.
Many years ago, Buffon, a French naturalist, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them. Some critics said, “Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”
Thomas Jefferson did not like what Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.
This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word-belittle. He said, “Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in his English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle-to make somebody or something small, unimportant.”
Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.
In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “‘Belittle’ has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.” This expert failed to kill the word. Today, “belittle” is used where the English language is spoken.
28. What was the reason for Jefferson’s creating the new word?
A. He was a naturalist and writer.
B. Lots of critics disliked Button’s books.
C. He disagreed with Buffon’s views on natural wonders in America.
D. Lots of critics thought Buffon wasn’t a real naturalist.
29. What do we know about Buffon according to the text?
A. Some of his books were welcome by readers.
B. Some of his poems were known to Jefferson.
C. He made some wrong comments on Jefferson.
D. He made great contributions to the creation of “belittle”.
30. What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The English words.
B. The critical writers.
C. The word experts.
D. The English-speaking countries.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The comment on the New World
B. The creation of Thomas Jefferson
C. The argument about the new word
D. The history of the word “belittle”
D
Look and listen, and that concert poster just might be singing. Engineers have designed antennas(天线)that can turn everyday objects, from posters to clothing, into radio stations. Anyone walking or driving by can tune in and hear what’s on. The devices use radio waves, but they don’t generate their own. They hijack(劫持)the same waves that carry music and news to your smartphone.
Vikram Iyer co-led the project with Anran Wang, a graduate student in computer science and engineering. The two got the idea for their invention by paying attention to what was already around them. “It’s the ideal way to minimize the power consumption for any kind of communication,” notes Iyer. Their research had focused on new types of wireless
communications that won’t require much energy. They wanted something that would work outdoors in a city. Then they realized the air is already filled with wireless communications in the form of radio stations.
Radio waves carry energy at the speed of light from tall transmission towers to radios in cars, phones and homes. These waves of the antennas take in existing radio waves and change them slightly. Those changes add new sound information. The changed waves are then sent back out into the world where people can listen in. So the device only needs enough power to change the waves, not to generate them.
The scientists tested their device with a poster. It advertised a Seattle concert by Simply Three. People standing almost 4 meters away from the poster could use FM receivers on smartphones to listen to all songs of the band’s music, Those in cars as far as 18 meters away could use car radios to pick up some parts of the songs
The technology could even extend to clothes. Iyer, Wang and their team turned the shirt into an antenna. It let the shirt talk to the wearer’s smartphone. If a sensor in the shirt tracked a person’s heart rate during exercise, for instance, the antenna could transmit those data to the wearer’s phone.
32. The underlined word “generate” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A. promote B. repair C. produce D. recycle
33. Which of the following is one advantage of the new antennas?
A. They save energy.
B. They are small-sized
C They can be used in villages.
D. They can improve radio signals.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The way the antennas take in radio waves.
B. The working principle of the antennas.
C The benefit people can get from the antennas.
D. The situation where the antennas can be used
35. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The antennas can be available at present.
B. Vikram Iyer created the antennas with much money.
C The antennas cannot be used in the students dormitory and classroom.
D. The closer people stay to the antennas, the stronger signals they pick up.

Read ahead. 36 . Highlight or make notes of things that you feel are important, and share your thoughts during classroom discussions.

Make one pile for flashcards that were remembered, and make one pile for flashcards not remembered. The more you review the flashcards, the smaller the flashcards pile not remembered should be.
39 . Get together with a few friends and quiz each other on the material and notes you’ve collected for the test. Explain or describe in your own words what the material is about, and compare the information you have collected with each other.
40 . Being prepared for class, participating during class, and reviewing after class are good strategies so that you have the most accurate and best materials to study.

In the age of smart phones, apps are like guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used together, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealth of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. US News Travel has picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.

To personal trainer Sammy Callari, 13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client (客户). He's his “little brother”. Over the past year, the pair have bonded. They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop.
The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. Callari recalled the time when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced a lot of challenges over the years.
As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His brother trained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, but finally he won three times. “I know how it feels,” Callari said, “Society tells you that you can’t do this, you can’t do that. ” When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can’t”.
The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and play together. Parker has a short attention span, so it’s Callari’s job to keep him focused. Callari said, “That’s the whole task right now.”
Parker’s mom once thanked him for taking a “chance” on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he himself is also the one who’s learning.
24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?
A. Callari took place of his absent colleague.
B. Parker’s parents had faith in Callari.
C. They shared the same interests.
D. Callari was an expert in Down syndrome.
25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?
A. He was good at sports.
B. He was out of condition.
C. He was looked down upon by everyone.
D. He was influenced deeply by his brother.
26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?
A. Grateful. B. Sympathetic. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. An inspiring story of a disabled boy.
B. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.
C. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndrome.
D. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainer.
C
Being mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.
Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida’s College of Business.
The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their families than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.
The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night’s sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be angry at home. “When you’re tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself.” says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.
Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. “This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, ” she says.
Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly connected to sleep quality. However, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and let go of some stress can be worth it. It’s not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit your loved people.
28. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Loved people at home. B. Negative emotions.
C. Different work pressures. D. More exercise and sleep.
29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?
A. A person who is easy to get tired.
B. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.
C. A person who often goes to the gym to work out.
D. A person who often argues with colleagues.
30. The underlined word “counterbalance” in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. make use of B. take control of C. keep up with D. make up for
31. What can we learn from the text?
A. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.
B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.
C. Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.
D. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.
D
For many years, humans have tried to find the secret to staying young. Although it has yet to be discovered, we may be closer than ever to finding a way that can slow down the aging process.
A recent study by researchers from Duke University in the US found that cutting one’s daily intake of calories could slow down biological aging, which means you might be able to hang on to your youthful looks a little longer.
Previous research has shown that calorie restrictions slow aging in worms, flies and mice. So researchers wondered if it could have the same effect on people.
To find out, Daniel Belsky and her team examined data from a study by the National Institute on Aging, based in the US, which involved 220 people. During the two-year study, 145 people in the restriction group cut their calorie intake by 25 percent. Meanwhile, 75 people in the control group maintained their normal diets.
At the start of the study, the two groups had no difference in biological age. The average participant was 38 years old, with a biological age of 37. However, after each 12-month period, participants in the restriction group saw an increase in biological age by an average of 0.11 years. Meanwhile, those in the control group saw a rise by an average of 0.71 years.
The researchers believe the difference between these groups shows that cutting calories does slow biological aging.
Although they didn’t explain the reason behind this, researchers at Brigham Young University in the US provided an explanation after they carried out a similar study on mice. They believe fewer calories slow down a mechanism in cells called the ribosome (核糖体), at least in mice. The mechanism is responsible for making vital proteins in cells, but with fewer calories it slows down, giving it more time to repair itself.
The ribosome is complex, like a car, and it needs to replace the parts that wear out the fastest from time to time, according to John Price, a biochemistry professor at Brigham Young University.
“When tyres wear out, you don’t throw the whole car away and buy new ones. It’s easier to replace the tyres,” Price told VOA.
But this doesn’t mean that people who want to look younger should start skipping meals, especially given the study’s early stage. Proper nutrition is important, Price explained.
“Food isn’t just material to be burned—it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond,” he told Science Daily.
32. The purpose of the research was to .
A. find the most efficient way to control calorie intake
B. explain why people have to maintain a normal diet
C. invent technology that keeps people young and healthy
D. test the influence of calorie restrictions on aging
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the experiment?
A. All the participants were of the same biological age at the start.
B. Flies and mice were used to compare the results of the human test with.
C. The biological age of people in the control group increased more than those in the restriction group.
D. Some participants were asked to double the amount of food they ate.
34. According to John Price, .
A. the fewer calories one takes in, the better the ribosome works
B. reducing calorie intake could allow the ribosome to repair itself better
C. the ribosome is an important cell that controls the aging process
D. a higher level of calorie intake means more healthy proteins
35. We can infer from the text that .
A. those who want to stay young are advised to skip meals
B. people should keep a record of the energy they burn every day
C. we could slow our pace of biological aging by changing our eating habits
D. maintaining a balanced diet is not as difficult as people imagine

One possible version
Dear Tom,
I am sorry to hear that you failed to pass HSK. Hopefully, the unexpected failure won’t let you down, for I have still been amazed by the excellent Chinese you spoke when we first met.
As we all know, language learning is never an easy task but needs constant efforts and patience. In my opinion, it’s a great way to pay close attention to the formal use of Chinese words and expressions by reading newspapers and magazines, which really counts. Meanwhile, using some Chinese-learning mobile apps to study as much as possible benefits you well. More importantly, you should learn from the mistakes that you have made before. If so, I’m sure you’ll make rapid progress and pass HSK soon.
Wish you good luck! (113 words)
Yours,
