12．Hangzhou，as the only candidate city of the 2022 Asian Games，won the bid on September 16^th 2015．Thu s，it will be the third Chinese city（41）to host（host） the games．
Hangzhou is a beautiful city（42）witha long history．Hosting the Asian Games will give it a new look．（43）Although/Thoughthe event will cost the government a lot，the benefits are easy for us to see．To the citizens in Hangzhou，the best part of it is （44）thatit will give us the chance to watch world-class matches and competitions close to home．Secondly，there is no doubt that the event will attract more visitors to experience the charms of this（45）amazing（amaze） city．At the same time，it is good for the development of（46）tourism（tour）．Meanwhile，as the construction goes on，more roads（47）will be built（build） and the Metro system will be expanded，thus（48）reducing（reduce） traffic jams．
In the next few years，Hangzhou will try its best to prepare（49）itselffor the big show．（50）Asplendid Hangzhou is waiting to see you in 2022!

11．Many parents sometimes feel they resemble an ATM machine to their children．They want to ask for advice about giving pocket money to their children．So how much is appropriate？（16）CYou can start by listing items they want to spend their pocket money on．This exercise will vary depending on the child's age but it is a good guide to help you to decide what amount is appropriate．
 It is important that you don't hand out extra money throughout the week．This will help the child to budge and manage their spending．（17）BHowever，leaving them to do without anything will encourage them to manage their pocket money more carefully the next time．
As part of the pocket money agreement，you might list the items that the child must complete in order to"earn"the pocket money．（18）EAt least one task should be for the general household．The same is true for teenagers．They are older and can take on more responsibilities so this should be reflected in the tasks they are assigned．（19）F No matter how difficult it is for you to not give the pocket money if the agreed tasks are not completed，you must stick to the agreement．Remember，you are teaching your child basic skills in managing money and earning rewards．These skills will be of great benefit to your child throughout their life!
Finally，when it comes to teenagers，keep a close watch on how they are managing their money．If your teenager is using too much of their pocket money too quickly，talk to them about it．（20）DThis way，you can be conscious that the money is not being used for drink or worse，drugs．

A．They want to have what their peers have．
B．It may be hard to refuse to give them more money．
C．It is best to get the child involved in agreeing the amount with you．
D．You need to keep a close check on what the money is being spent on．
E．The task should be appropriate to their age in terms of safety and their ability．
F．As with all parenting situations，the golden rule is that you must follow through．
G．The amount saved can be used to purchase treats such as sweets or a magazine．

10．Understanding one's own history is important for young people's learning and development．Students are often asked to write a story about crown family's history or about a special person in their family．But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people，in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular place．
　　When people understand their own history，they are able to grapple withthe influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives．Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are．
　　Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history．And I know from my own exp erience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family's experience in 1944．This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people．But in today's situation，those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake．
　　If our society is ever going to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history，including what has happened to our Native American，African-American and Latino friends，our neighbors'schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories．Families and related social bodies must do the same．
8．According to Paragraph 1，a good knowledge of our own history can help usC
A．become good at writing stories
B．make our influence on the society stronger
C．gain a good understanding of our present situation
D．understand the importance of learning and development

11．The passage mainly encourages us toB．
A．write our own stories       
B．understand the importance of history
C．learn our own history       
D．have a proper attitude towards history．

9．Hello．I'm Jan from Mrs．Lake's class．My class wants to work together to help the public．We think we have found a great way to do this．Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town．We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program．This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads．We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway．
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet．When a highway is adopted，only part of the highway is cared for by a group of p eople．The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean．Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it．The sign is put up at the side of the road．This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean．
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer．Also，the government does not have to send out as many road workers．This saves money．Finally，people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people，especially teenagers like us，cleaning them up．
    We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway．If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week．We will meet in Mrs．Lake's room on Wednesday at 6：00 P．M．At the meeting，we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts．Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean．
   I look forward to seeing you at the meeting．Remember to keep our roads clean!
4．What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about？C
A．Giving names to the highways．
B．Drawing pictures of highways．

A．Pick a spot to care for．
B．Go to a meeting on Wednesday．
C．Write a letter to their parents．
D．Call Mrs．Lake next week．
6．What is the purpose of this speech？A
A．To encourage students to join the program．
B．To introduce the traffic system．

7．There are thousands of coral reefs（珊瑚礁） in the world．Unfortunately，however，they are now in serious danger．More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years．（16）BHere are the three main causes discovered．
The first cause is pollution on land．The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams，which carry the poisons into the ocean．（17）ESo they will be easily infected with diseases．（18）A Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source（來(lái)源） for the coral-the algae（海藻），the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral．（19）GThis process has happened more and more frequently in recent years．
The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people．People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats，breaking off large blocks of coral．（20）CMoreover，some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty．

A．Global warming is another reason．
B．Many might not even last that long!
C．Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage．
D．Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean．
E．Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak．
F．Steps must be taken now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans．
G．When the algae die，the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end．

6．My oldest child，Emma，just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college．These days，friends and family have begun flooding me with one question：What is she going to do after graduation？
The job market is，after all，awfully tough．Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that"recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time．"The bright spot，according to the study，is for students who majored（主修） in STEM-science，technology，engineering and mathematics-areas in which recent graduates"have tended to do relatively well"．
But Emma is a student of the humanities（人文） at a small college．She's an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food．For quite a while，I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I'm not the least bit worried she will find a good job．Yet the more I've thought about it，the more I've decided to be honest．"I'm not sure what Emma is going to do，"I now say．"But she's gotten a great education and has really found her interest．-and I know those things will serve he r well over the course of her life．"
Nowadays，more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates．In this climate，encouraging your kid to study the humanities，seems，at best，unwise or，at worst，unconcerned with earning a living．But a college is not a vocational（職業(yè)） school．And promoting STEM subjects should not be society's only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world．
From the beginning，we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money，as more and more families are doing．To Emma，what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time：Emma's contribution to the world and how happy she is in it．
12．The author's friends and familyA．
A．a(chǎn)re worried about Emma's safety        
B．have been worrying about the flood
C．a(chǎn)re concerned about Emma's future        
D．a(chǎn)re worried about the job market
13．What can we learn from Paragraph 2？C
A．The number of the graduates is increasing．
B．STEM graduates can be better employees．
C．STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand．
D．More and more graduates like to do a part-time job．
14．Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities？A
A．Because she is interested in it．
B．Because her mother told her to．
C．Because it is increasingly popular．
D．Because she wants further education．
15．According to the author，what matters most in choosing a major is thatD．
A．it should be among the STEM
B．it should be fashionable and interesting
C．it should allow a good job and a high salary
D．it should bring achievements and happiness．
