Do you like Hip-Hop? Hi-Hop is now very popular in the world. Hip-Hop is a new kind of music. Today, Hip-Hop music is a big business. Hip-Hop artists make millions of dollars. They are superstars and have many fans all over the world. But Hip-Hop wasn't always so popular. It is only about thirty years old. When Hip-Hop music first developed in the late 1970s, not many people knew about it. It was created in the poorest districts of New York City by African American and Latino teenagers as part of a Hip-Hop scene that also produced break dancing(霹雳舞) and graffiti art(涂鸦艺术). Many of these young people were unemployed, but some found work as DJs in discos where they'd ask a friend to act as their MC. The MC would introduce the DJ and encourage everyone to dance and have a good time. Some MCs tried to be more entertaining by talking in time to the beat of the music and using rhymes, and by doing this they invented rapping. Hip-Hop started in New York. Young people in New York wanted to make music, but they had a problem. Many of them did not have enough money to buy expensive instruments. They also did not have any place to practice. Hip-Hop was the perfect answer to this problem, as Hip-Hop artists did not need any special instruments and they could practice anywhere.
Do you like dancing? Do you think dancing is difficult? Breakdancing is a very difficult kind of dancing. People dance to Hip-Hop music. Breakdancers have to be very strong and fast. Breakdancing started in the 1980s at the same time as Hip-Hop. At first, breakdancing was like fighting. Breakdancers had "battles". Each breakdancer did his best to dance in the contest. Then the people who were watching decided which breakdancer was the best. The winner didn't get any money, but they didn't care. Dancers just wanted to be the best breakdancer on their street.
Today, people break dance all over the world. There are professional breakdancing contests. Winners can get a lot of money, and sometimes they are on TV. Just like Hip-Hop, breakdancing is now a big business.

25、
Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live.
Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices (家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波), according to AVSytemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual (AV, 视听的) and automation industry.
Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手). Google Home and Amazon's Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek.
Common household appliances (家用电器) can become "smart" as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keep track of the things you've thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.
But it's not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you're not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment.
【1】X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by ________.
A.using lights
B.using voices
C.using radio waves
D.connecting to a 5G network
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Voice-activated assistants.
B.How smart homes are built.

【3】According to the passage, which statement is not true?
A.X10 is created by a Scottish company.
B.Smart refrigerators can cook your dinner based on the vegetables you have inside.
C.The voice-activated assistant is more sophisticated smart home technology.
D.A smart trash bin can place an online order for new items.
【4】How are smart homes better for the environment?
A.They use recyclable household appliances.
B.They are built with special materials.
C.They have smart trash bins.
D.They help us save energy.
【5】The article mainly tells us _________.
A.how 5G develops.

“Many people died in their thirties or forties when I was a child", Chen Zhixiang, an 82-year-old teacher who grew up in Xi'an, told Xinhua. At that time, living to be 60 was a long life.
But that is no longer the case. According to the National Bureau of statistics(国家统计局), the life expectancy for Chinese people rose from 35 in 1949 to 77 in 2019.
Chen told Xinhua that he rarely ate meat when he was a child. People didn't have enough food and clothing at that time. And anyone who became ill may die.
Now Chinese people are enjoying healthier and more nutritious diets. The grain, meat, peanut and fruit has topped the world for many years, according to the State Council. In 1949, China's per capita disposable income(人均可支配收入)was 49.7 Yuan. This same income reached 28,228 Yuan in 2019. It refers to the amount of money that each person has for spending and saving after paying taxes.
China is also paying more attention to improving people's health. China's medical insurance system covers more than 95 percent of the people.
The country has also made efforts to keep its people healthy with a national health program. As of 2019, China had more than 3.2 million sports venues across the country. Over 400 million people take part in daily exercise.
【1】Chinese people's life expectancy rose by years from 1949 to 2019.

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

27、 Most teens need about 8 to more than 9 hours of sleep each night.The right amount of sleep is necessary for anyone who wants to do well in a test or play sports without tripping over their feet. Unfortunately,though,many teens don’t get enough sleep.
_______________? Early starting time in some schools may play a role in this sleep deficit (不足).Teens who fall asleep after midnight may still have to get up early for school,meaning that they may only shorten into 6 or 7 hours of sleep a night.A couple of hours of missed sleep a night may not seem like a big deal,but can create a noticeable sleep deficit over time.
Why is sleep important? Sleep deficit affects everything from a person’s ability to pay attention in class to his or her mood.Research shows that more than 20% of high school students fall asleep in class,and experts have been able to tie lost sleep to poorer grades.Lack of sleep also damages teens’ ability to do their best in sports.Slowed responses and less concentration(专注)caused by sleep deficit don’t just affect school or sports performance,though.Lack of sleep slows reaction time,which can be life threatening for people who drive.The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration reports that 1,500 people are killed every year in crashes caused by drivers between the ages of 15 and 24 who are simply tired.Lack of sleep has also been linked to emotional troubles, such as feelings of sadness and depression.Sleep helps keep us physically healthy,too,by slowing our body’s systems enough to re-energize us after everyday activities.
How do I know if I’m getting enough sleep? Even if you think you’re getting enough sleep, you may not be.Here are some of the signs that you may need more sleep: (1) difficulty in waking up in the morning;(2) inability to focus;(3) falling asleep during classes; (4) feelings of anxiety and even depression(忧郁).Recently,some researchers,parents,and teachers have suggested that middle and high school classes begin later in the morning to meet teens’ need for more sleep.Some schools have already tried later starting time.You and your friends,parents,and teachers can call up for later start time at your school,but in the meantime you’ll have to make changes on your own first.
【1】Which is the best choice for the blank in Paragraph 2?
A.What does sleep deficit mean
B.How many hours do teens sleep a night
C.Why can’t teens get enough sleep
D.Why do teens now need to sleep more
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.1500 drivers between ages of 15 and 24 in America are killed a year.
B.Lack of sleep has bad influence on both life and school performance.
C.Sleep helps to keep us healthy by energizing our everyday activities.
D.Poor performance in study and sports has little relation with lost sleep.
【3】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To explain the reason why teens are lack of sleep.
B.To draw people’s attention to teens’ sleeping problem.
C.To introduce that we have the problem of sleep shortage.
