But a new study says that children can learn a second language well before the age of 17 or 18, Newsweek reported.Scientists from Boston University in the US made an online English quiz. About 670,000 people, speaking 38 languages in all, took the quiz.Scientists found that the period of time between 10 to 18 years of age is best for learning a pared to younger children, children within this age group are better prepared to learn difficult grammar. They can understand grammar rules pared to older people, children within this age group are also better at remembering words. All of these things help them pick up new languages more easily.But if you want to speak a second language as well as a native speaker, you should start earlier. Scientists believe it’s best to start at the age of 10.Younger children’s brains are more open to new sounds. So they are better at remembering new sounds and pronunciation and speaking correctly, The Independent reported.36．Newsweek reported that children can learn a________language well before the age of 17 or 18.A．native B．first C．second D．third37．Scientists from Boston University in the US made an________ quiz.A．online Chinese B．online mental C．online English D．offline English38．People who took the quiz spoke ________languages in all.A．10 B．17 C．18 D．3839．Children within the age group of________ can pick up new languages more easily.A．17-18 B．10-18 C．5-10 D．18-2040．Scientists suggest that we should start to learn a second language at the age of ________.A．10 B．17 C．18 D．38BWhat’s behind the famous British humor Every country shares things in common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large festivals and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One characteristic that is famous of British people is their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery.This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: “I’m on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it.” This is a well-known self-mockery joke. Famous British writer Oscar Wilde once said: “I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a word that I am saying.”It’s difficult to say why self-mockery is tied to the British people. But every nation’s sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty, meaning to not highlight or talk openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar with the Chinese people, where modesty plays a big part in daily life.It also acts as a defense of our self-esteem by playing down our skills. This can lessen the chances of people criticizing us.Another possible reason is that on average, the British people don’t take themselves too seriously. So mocking themselves is simply a healthy result of this.41．________ is a characteristic among British people.A．Self-mockery B．Laughing at othersC．Cooking D．Modesty42．The two examples in the second paragraph can be called “________”.A．overvaluation B．self-mockery C．skill D．criticism43．Every nation’s sense of humor comes from its ________.A．history B．culture C．history and culture D．economy and culture44．For Chinese people, ________is important in daily life.A．joke B．modesty C．criticism D．self-mockery45．Self-mockery can________.A．reduce our abilitiesB．make others criticize usC．lessen the chances of people criticizing usD．enhance our skillsCAnger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when a friend borrow your favorite thing and then breaks it, when your team loses an important game, you may get really angry.Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe (呼吸) faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit (打) someone, but sometimes you hide your anger. For example, you are really angry, but you may keep it to yourself. The worst thing is to do nothing but keep quiet. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may get hurt.In fact, it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way. When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people and share your problems with them, such as your parents, a teacher, etc.If you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. So you are halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug (拥抱); think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. It is not a good way to run away from your anger. You should always try to solve it.46．You may not get angry when ________.A．a friend breaks your favorite thing B．your parents don't let you watch TVC．your favorite basketball team wins the game D．There is too much homework on the weekend47．________ shows that you are angry.A．Speaking slowly B．Getting a cold C．Having a red face D．Trying to protect someone48．What does the word “hide” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese A．隐藏 B．爆发 C．展示 D．诉说49．According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry EXCEPT________.A．talking to others B．counting numbers C．thinking about good things D．saying bad things to people around you50．What is the main purpose of the passage A．To teach people how to share feelings. B．To show why people get angry.C．To help people understand bad feelings. D．To ask people to solve their anger actively.DOn a cold winter afternoon, I went into a theater, trying to find something to make me happy. My eyes fell on a poster in which a boy is holding a baseball bat. I thought: “This is it! An exciting sports movie.”But that wasn’t quite what this movie was about. The movie Tough Out does feature（特写）a group of kids who play baseball. However, they don’t win a single game in the whole 108-minute film. Instead, the movie mainly tells about their failures and the difficulties of growing up.These children are from a charity（慈善的）program called Power Baseball Angels. The program was set up in 2015 by Sun Lingfeng, who was ever the captain of China’s national men’s baseball team. The program invites children that love baseball from poor families across China to a baseball camp for free in Beijing. There are some teachers teaching them skills and teamwork in the hope that they can change their life.One kid named Ma Hu impressed（给……留下深刻印象）me a lot. Raised by his grandmother in a poor village, Ma often fights with others and almost never follows the rules at first. But with the care of his teachers, Ma learns to care about others and tries his best to play baseball. Ma said his goal is to become a member of China’s national team in the future.I didn’t see a win in the film, but I saw love and hope in it.51．The main roles in the movie Tough Out are __________.A．a group of basketball players B．the members of men’s baseball teamC．a group of kids who play baseball D．some teachers from a charity program52．What does the word “failures" in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese A．胜利 B．失败 C．善良 D．顽劣53．We can learn from the third paragraph that __________.A．the program changes both children’s and teachers’ lifeB．children can learn baseball skills for free in the programC．teachers in the program are from China’s national men’s baseball teamD．children in the program practise playing baseball in poor places in China54．Ma Hu impressed the writer a lot because __________.A．he never cares about others B．he is from a poor villageC．he never follows the rules of the game D．he changed from a problem child to a caring one55．The best title of this passage is_ _________.A．A Great Charity Program B．A Sports Movie about Love and HopeC．An Exciting Baseball Team D．A Story Behind a Young Baseball PlayerIV.补全对话（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）请根据对话内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案填写到答题卷的相应位置上。选项中有两项为多余项。A: Bill, where do you prefer to live, in the city or in the countryside B: 56A: Why do you prefer to live in the countryside B: 57A: What else in the countryside do you like B: The scenery (景色) in the countryside is very beautiful. 58A: I agree with you. 59B: Yes.

Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars give us many benefits (好处). They use computers to sense (感知) the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled (残疾的) or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are injured (受伤). Self-driving cars could reduce (减少) road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money, said the website TechDim. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus (注意力) like humans do.But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would struggle (费力) to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地).It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen, said China Daily.61．In which city can we find driverless taxis 62．What benefits can self-driving cars give disabled people 63．How many people are killed on roads around the world each year 64．What is the main cause of car accidents 65．What is the disadvantage of self-driving cars when something unexpected happens VI.语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的内容（一个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。Scott often goes to the supermarket for shopping.
