A big real estate company planned to pull down an ancient building to build a residential district and a business district, so I went to interview the company and also did a survey among my classmates on their opinions on it.①The company argued that the ancient building was in extremely poor condition, due to the lack of maintenance, thus posing a threat to safety. ②Besides, building a residential district might help solve the housing problem of some residents and the business district should meet the shopping requirements of people living around. ③However, my classmates defended that the ancient building was a historical and cultural heritage as well as the symbol of civilization and wisdom. ④Therefore, it was the responsibility of the government to protect it, either by making laws or by other means to make sure of its existence. ⑤From my own perspective, it is not only the responsibility but also the duty of every one of us, including the real estate company, to protect all the historical and cultural heritages, and no excuses and reasons are acceptable.

Taking Chinese Character Dictation Contest broadcasted on CCTV as an example, the passage points out that many people now have trouble in writing Chinese characters in daily life, which may be caused by the overuse of digital devices.
Nowadays, many people often encounter the problem of spelling Chinese characters correctly, including me. I feel a bit ashamed every time I am unable to write some words, some of which are commonly used in our everyday life.
What causes this phenomenon? As is mentioned in the reading passage, the popularity of digital devices is a major contributing factor. Unlike older generations, young people today prefer typing instead of writing by hand. Besides, some wrongly-written advertising signs can be seen everywhere, which mislead people a lot.
We should attach great importance to Chinese traditional culture. First, we should call for the popularity of handwriting because Chinese characters are the most important part of Chinese culture. Opening calligraphy lessons in schools would be a meaningful method to rebuild children's interest in handwriting. Then, celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is also significant to pass on Chinese history and culture. In addition, don’t forget to protect the cultural relics around our country, which are precious heritages left by our ancestors.

Kieron Williamson: The Art World’s Youngest Star
Many parents display their children’s artwork on the refrigerator, but Kieron Williamson’s paintings have been on display in professional galleries since he was 6 years old.
Kieron’s artwork, though, extends far beyond child-like stick figures or finger painting. In fact, the child from Norfolk, England, has been called “the boy who paints like an old master.”
According to his parents, Kieron was a typical toddler who like finding bugs and playing in the mud. But on a 2008 family vacation to the beach, the 5-year-old was inspired by the boats and scenery and asked his parents for a sketch pad. His initial drawings could have been done by any young child, but after the family returned home, Kieron continued drawing and began to display a gift for art.
When he started asking about the process of putting a painting together, his parents realized he needed professional instruction. Soon after, he began taking lessons, and his progress amazed everyone as the young boy produced impressive landscapes and watercolors.
In 2009,when the 6-years-old had a chance to exhibit his work in a gallery, he sold 19 paintings for 14,000pounds, becoming famous overnight. From then on, he was surrounded by buyers from France, Japan, Greece and other countries. The young artist held another exhibit three months after the first one and sold 16 paintings for over 17,000 pounds, followed by a third sale, earning 150,000 pounds. For the fourth exhibit, Kieron took the day off from school but ended up returning to school early. His entire collection had sold out in 10 minutes to collectors from around the world. Now he has a waiting list of more than 5,000 people who have ordered his paintings.
He has appeared in interviews before millions, and he has been compared to Pablo Picasso. Yet Kieron doesn’t seem to be fazed by all the attention, still making time for football and maintaining excellent grades at school.
He does have one goal he gets excited about: “ I’d like the Queen to have a collection of my work.” With his popularity climbing, this young artist may realize his wish one day.
26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is True? A. Kieron’s paintings are just as childish as other children’s.
B. Kieron’s initial drawings suggested that he would be an art master. C. Kieron benefited greatly from professional instruction.
D. Before displaying a gift for art, Kieron received professional training. 27. Paragraph 5 is mainly intended to tell us ____________. A. the four exhibits of his paintings B. the process of his wealth accumulation C. the high quality of his paintings
D. the increasing popularity of his paintings
28. Why did Kieron go back to school early on his fourth exhibit? A. Because his mind was focused on study. B. Because the exhibit was put off.
C. Because he wanted to gain praise from teachers.
12
D. Because his paintings were sold out earlier than expected. 29. What does the word “fazed ”probably mean in Paragraph 6?
A. frustrated B. affected C. encouraged D. defeated 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Kieron respects and admires the Queen very much. B. Kieron likes to earn money from the Queen. C. Kieron is bound to realize his dream. D. Kieron’s goal is unlikely to come true.

You might think I'd have little in common with a camel, but we do share one useful skill: both of us can go for a very long time without water. Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, and then I might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner, that's about a liter of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently it's not nearly enough.
After years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three liters of liquid a day for my body to function at its best. I decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I drank the recommended amount every day for a month?
The photograph of me taken the day I started this trial demonstrates(展示）perfectly and rather frighteningly what a lack of hydration does to a face. I am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which is shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, and my skin lacks any luster（光泽）. It looks dead. Even my lips look shriveled（枯萎的）. This is all classic evidence of poor hydration, apparently. Every system and function in our body depends on water. It flushes toxins from the vital organs, carries nutrients to cells, provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues, and eliminates waste.
Not drinking enough means all these functions becomes damaged. So I decided to see how I would look and feel if I drank three liters of water every day for 28 days. The results were astonishing. 31.Which statement is Not True according to Paragraph 1? E. The author drinks about a liter of liquid every day. F. The author has something in common with a camel. G. The author actually has plenty of water in her daily life. H. The author thinks she drinks enough water every day.
32.Why did the author decide to drink the recommended amount of water? A. Because she was very fond of doing experiments.
B. Because she was informed of the importance of drinking enough water. C. Because her doctors forced her to do it.

33.The author’s lack of hydration caused the following physical responses Except_______. C. shriveled lips
D. dark shadows around her eyes E. enough luster of her skin
F. wrinkles and blotches on her face
34.According to the passage, the author most probably tends to tell us_________. E. the more water one drinks, the healthier he is F. it’s necessary to follow specialists instructions G. drinking water makes ladies look younger H. drinking enough water is key to one’s health
35.What will be probably written in the next paragraph? A. The author had his health greatly improved. B. The author gave up the experiment.
C. The author suffered a lot from the experiment. D. The author felt very disappointed at the result. Keys: CBCDA 答案及解析：

Parents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy.
Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the
