Britain's TV screens are completely steeped in class, and have long been so.‎ From laughing at poor people in reality shows to laughing at posh people in Downton Abbey, this is how Britain likes to unwind in the evening: by laughing at other classes, and laughing at people for laughing about class.‎ Like it or loathe it, many see the class system as a quint essential element of British life, together with our obsession for tea and cake and talking about the weather.‎ Whether you are a lord, a lady, or just the king of your own middle class kingdom, everyone in the UK fits into the class system. How the class system works is a hard question even for a British person to answer.‎ There are four main groups in the British class system: lower, working, middle and upper class. Although recently the BBC has tried to confuse everyone even more by adding three more categories.‎ The British are very aware of class; it is often said that we have an in-built 'class radar'; we pick up on subtle social clues which indicate which class a person comes from. Class is not just about your job, where you live and how much you earn. It's about who you are.‎ 25. According to the passage ,what Britain are not likely to talk about?‎ A.Weather B.Class C.Jokes D.Tea and cake 26.How many class categories are there according to BBC?‎ A.Five B.Three C.Seven D.Four 27.Why Britain are so obsessed with class?‎ A. Because many see the class system as a typical part of British life.‎ B. Because class is about who you are.‎ C. Because how the class system works is a hard question even for a British person to answer.‎ D. Because there are different groups in the British class system.‎ C Children are starting on digital devices at ever younger ages, and opinions on the effects of children's digital-media habits are deeply polarised.(两极分化的).‎ Jean Twenge, a psychology professor, thinks excessive use of the internet and social media makes children lonely and depressed and poses serious risks to their physical and particularly their mental health, sometimes to the point of driving them to suicide.‎ However, Daniel Kardefelt-Winther of the Innocenti research office of Unicef examined various evidence and found less cause for alarm than is often suggested.Most of the studies he examined seem to show that the technology helps children stay in touch with their friends and make new ones.‎ The relationship between the use of digital technology and children's mental health, broadly speaking, appears to be u-shaped.Researchers have found that moderate use is beneficial, whereas either no use at all or extreme use could be harmful.‎ What worries some experts more is that screens are becoming part of the middle-class armoury( 武器 ) for perpetuating( 巩固 ) social advantage.Children from well-off homes are enrolled in private classes to learn skills like "How to be a YouTuber", which poorer parents cannot afford.‎ 28. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The disadvantages of overusing digital media.‎ B. The bad effects of using digital media.‎ C. Several bad impacts of using digital media.‎ D. The advantages of overusing digital media.‎ 29.

Not all Children from rich homes can attend private classes B. Not all Children from poor homes can learn skills like“how to be a YouTuber”. C.Digital media is the only way of strengthening the middle-class.‎ D.Digital media can widen class gap.‎ 31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Should children interact with digital media ?‎ B. Should parents allow their children interact with digital media?‎ C. What children do to interact with digital devices.‎ D. How children interact with digital devices.‎ D The world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.‎ ‎“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web, they pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects, ” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.‎ The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.‎ One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly ‎ enough to outweigh the big losses.‎ Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”‎ 31. What does “are hurtling down ”underlined mean?‎ A To climb very slow in a straight direction B.To move very fast in a particular direction.‎ A. To become lower in value or level quickly B. To speed up suddenly in a particular direction 32. According to the passage what caused the declines of the insects EXCEPT?‎ A. Intensive agriculture B. Urbanization C. Climate change D. Pests control.‎ 33. In paragraph 4, the author wants to stress the decline of insects ‎ A. by giving the examples B. by making the comparison C. by giving the definition.‎ D. by making the explanation 34. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Sharply decreasing insects numbers threaten damage of nature.‎ B. The impacts will be brought by the insect loss.‎ C. The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends.‎ D. The leading factors cause insects decline 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Many of us live with a roommate at times. Sometimes, there can be problems.Such as whose turn it is to take out the trash, or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? 36 ‎ ‎ 37 There' s always someone to talk to, so you need never be lonely.‎ Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. 38 when living with others.To examine the effect of living alone,Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food including fruits and vegetables,which can have side effects on long-term health. However, those living with others ‎ generally got benefits from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.‎ ‎ 39 The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example,those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus, they are more likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly.‎ In addition, a person living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day. However, it' s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3:O0 am. 40 ‎ So, if you now live alone, fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else ?‎ A. However,There are always ways to solve these problems.‎ B. You know that there' s always someone else around who can help you feel safer.‎ C. However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.‎ D. For example, we 're actually more likely to eat healthier food.‎ E. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to such an unhealthy routine. F.Living with roommates will have a good atmosphere.‎ G.

Why are people doing this? The main reason is that they aren’t satisfied with their present careers. Maybe they are tired of their busy, stressful life in business and want to be a teacher — a job that helps others. Maybe they want to make more money. Or maybe they want to try something new. To make these career changes, they have to return to school to study a different subject or get more education in the field they’re already in. But what are the difficulties of this decision? Well, it costs a lot of money to pay for school per year depending on your program. This is in addition to the everyday costs of housing, food, clothing, and entertainment. Also, many people won’t have enough time. Most people cannot quit their jobs and give school their full attention, so they must take classes at night and find time to study when they can. Finally, going back to school after not being a student for so long might be more work than most people think. But to these students, it’s all worth it!‎
