25、   Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate their birthdays in different ways. Now here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.

Sandy comes from Madrid(马德里) . She says happily, “My 21st birthday is on Saturday, and I’m going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull on my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional.”

Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki(花甲)——it’s the beginning of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday.

Liu Mei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, “Tomorrow is my 16th birthday. It’s a special birthday, so we’re going to have a family party. Maybe I will get some lucky money from my relatives. My mother is going to cook noodles for a long life.”

Phillip, from Paris, smiles to us, “I’m going to be thirty next week, so I’m going to invite three very good friends out for dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out.”

26、   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

27、

Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve a large number of foods. And the industry(产业) isn’t stopping there.

Food production

With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated(复杂的) chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Food printer to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to finish other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.

Sustainability(可持续性）

The world’s population(人口) is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some experts estimate (估计) that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to keep present levels(水平). Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably help solve the problem. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from rich renewable materials(原料) like algae and grass to replace(代替) the ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions(排放). The stores of the future might store "food" that lasts for years, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.

Nutrition(营养)

Future 3D food printers could make food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow customers(消费者) to print food with customized(定制的) nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand(要求).”

Challenges

Though there are great developments in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Most ingredients must be changed to a dry powder(粉末) before a printer can use them, and the printing process takes a lot of time, because ingredients interact (相互作用)with each other in very complex ways. Besides, most of the 3D food printers now use only dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts doubt about 3D food printers, believing they are more suitable for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.

【1】What advantage(好处) does 3D printing bring to food production?

A.It teaches cooks to create new dishes. B.It saves time and effort(努力) in cooking.

C.It improves the cooking conditions. D.It helps to decorate the restaurants.

【2】What does the underlined word “raise” mean in paragraph 3?

A.募集 B.导致 C.培育 D.增加

【3】According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.

A.is easier for consumers to get B.can meet personal nutritional needs

C.is tastier than food in supermarkets D.can keep all the nutrition in raw(生的) materials

【4】What is the main factor(因素) that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?

A.The printing process is not long. B.3D food printers are too expensive.

C.Food materials have to be dry. D.Some experts doubt 3D food printing.

【5】What could be the best title of the passage?

A.3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology B.A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing

C.The Challenges for 3D Food Production D.3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table

28、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的词，要求所填的词意、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

“Every day, we see the sunrise 16 times. Do you know why? Well, we circle the Earth every 90 【1】 (minute)!”

Do you still remember these words? It was June 20, 2013. Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping give a 【2】 /ˈsaɪəns/ lesson in space. Six million school children and teachers across China listened to it. Were you one of them?

Now, Ms. Wang is 【3】 /ˈredi/ to give her “ Lesson Two.” On October 16, she and two other Chinese astronauts set off for the Tiangong space station. Wang 【4】 (become) the first-ever woman to work in Tiangong.

Wang’s space dream began when Yang Liwei became China’s first man in space in 2003. “When will our country have a space-woman?” She thought to 【5】. Wang was a fighter pilot. Because of her excellent performance, in 2010, she was chosen to train as 【6】 astronaut. After lots of hard training, the woman 【7】 (final) realized her space dream in 2013.

This time, Wang and her team will stay in space 【8】 183 days. She is set to become the first woman to ever complete a spacewalk. We will also hear the first-ever Chinese New Year’s greetings coming from space. But 【9】 /pərˈhæp/ the most exciting part for you is Ms. Wang’s “Lesson Two.” What will she teach us this time around? What experiments will she do? After 【10】 (listen) to this new lesson, will you have your own space dream, too?
