第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Do you often help your parents with housework? Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness（公平）since they live in one house with their family.

A recent study shows that children who do chores may become happier and more successful in the future. The study followed a group of people for over 20 years. It found that those who started doing chores at an early age were more likely to have good relationships with friends and family, finish their education, and start their own careers（事业）successfully.

So, what chores are suitable for children? For young children (aged 2-3), they can help to pick up toys. Children aged 4-5 can set the table or help to prepare simple food. Older children can do more difficult chores like washing dishes, taking out the rubbish or cleaning their own rooms.

36. According to the passage, doing chores can help children ______.

A. get more pocket money B. spend less time on homework

C. become more independent D. make more friends at school

37. The study found that children who did chores early were more likely to ______.

A. travel around the world B. have problems with family

C. be successful in the future D. become famous scientists

38. What chore is suitable for a 4-year-old child?

A. Washing dishes. B. Cleaning the room. C. Taking out the rubbish. D. Setting the table.

39. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce a new study. B. To ask parents to do more chores.

C. To show the importance of doing chores. D. To teach children how to do chores.

B

Have you ever heard of "plogging"? It is a new sports trend（趋势）that started in Sweden. The word "plogging" comes from the Swedish words "plocka upp" (pick up) and "jogging" (running slowly). It means picking up rubbish while you are jogging.

Plogging is not only good for your health, but also good for the environment. When you go plogging, you run or walk in your neighborhood, park or beach, and you take a bag with you to collect rubbish. It's a simple way to make a difference.

Many people around the world are joining plogging groups. They share pictures of the rubbish they collect online. Some people even make it a competition to see who can collect the most rubbish. It makes the boring exercise more fun and meaningful.

You don't need to be a runner to go plogging. You can just walk. The important thing is to get outside, get some exercise, and help to clean up our planet at the same time. Why not give it a try this weekend?

40. What is "plogging"?

A. A new kind of competition. B. Picking up rubbish while jogging.

C. A popular game in Sweden. D. Running very fast for a long time.

41. According to the passage, plogging is good for ______.

A. health and environment B. study and work

C. making money D. meeting famous people

42. How do people make plogging more fun?

A. By listening to music. B. By running with friends.

C. By making it a competition. D. By choosing beautiful places.

43. What does the writer suggest readers do?

So what is the best way to prepare for an exam? Plan your time well. Study a little every day instead of trying to learn everything in one night. Make sure you get 8-9 hours of sleep, especially the night before the exam. Your brain will thank you!

44. What does "burning the midnight oil" mean in the passage?

A. Using oil lamps at night. B. Studying late into the night.

C. Having trouble sleeping. D. Feeling very tired.

A. Start running every day. B. Buy special clothes for plogging.

C. Join a plogging group online. D. Try plogging themselves.

C

Many students have the experience of studying late at night before an exam. They believe that "burning the midnight oil" will help them get better grades. However, science may not agree with them.

Sleep is very important for memory. When we sleep, our brain deals with the information we have learned during the day. It moves memories from short-term storage（储存）to long-term storage. This process is called consolidation（巩固）. Without enough sleep, consolidation cannot happen well. So, even if you study for many hours, you may not remember much if you don't sleep enough.

A good night's sleep can also improve your ability to focus（专注）and solve problems. If you are tired, it is harder to pay attention in class or during an exam. You might make careless mistakes that you wouldn't make if you were well-rested.

45. Why is sleep important for memory according to the passage?

A. It makes the brain work faster. B. It helps to consolidate memories.

C. It stops us from forgetting old things. D. It gives us more energy to study.

46. What might happen if you don't get enough sleep before an exam?

A. You may feel more excited. B. You may focus better.

C. You may make more mistakes. D. You may finish the exam earlier.

47. What is the writer's advice for preparing for an exam?

A. Study with friends. B. Drink coffee to stay awake.

C. Get enough sleep. D. Review all notes the night before.

 Dear Mike,

 I'm glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese festivals. My favorite festival is the Spring Festival.

 It usually comes in January or February. Before the festival, families clean their houses and buy new clothes. On New Year's Eve, we have a big family dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. Children get lucky money in red envelopes.

 I like it because it's a time for family reunion. Everyone is happy and the atmosphere is warm and lively. I also enjoy the delicious food and the beautiful fireworks.

 What's your favorite festival in the UK?

 Yours,

 Li Hua
