阅读理解

    "Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell. "

    This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD(公元) 53 wrote it.

    We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

    Picture this. You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?

    Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity  often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.

    One family in the UK went "back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave(微波炉), computer or mobile phones.

    The grandmother, Lyn, said, "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes. " The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy(赶时髦的), beer-drinking granny", to one who cooked things.

(1)、The writer uses the quote(引号) at the beginning of the story to ________.
A、tell us a truth about our lives B、tell us what life was like long time ago C、point out what causes such a thing to happen D、point out some problems we will meet in the life
(2)、The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because ________.
A、they loved to live simple lives B、they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions C、they were troubled by modern inventions D、living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
(3)、According to the passage, which is NOT right?
A、People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier. B、An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better. C、The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house. D、With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.
(4)、The passage is mainly about _________.
A、problems with technology B、improvements of our lives with technology C、changes happening to technology D、the importance of technology

These days, short videos have got millions of views online. Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. You can also add music and special effects (特效) to your videos. The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing. 

Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of students in Grade 7 and Grade 8 said they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent have posted (上传) their own videos, according to a recent report. 

The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn't usually see. Many teenagers like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12-year-old user named Xiao Qianyu has posted videos showing her learning jazz dance. This has won her many fans. 

However, the videos can also bring trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and don't spend enough time studying. Some videos have vulgar content (内容) that is not good for teenagers'mind. 

To deal with (处理) this problem, Douyin added something new in April. It stops the app if students under 14 years old use the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government also did something to stop vulgar content videos from video apps.

 A. Choose the best answer

Dear mum and dad,

I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.

The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.

Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.

The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down…

Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!

 阅读下列材料, 从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

 My two best friends and I were playing in the park near my house." Hey, look at that poster," Ollie shouted." The Harvest Fair sounds cool!"

" Yes! But S50 for a ticket?" said Marcya." That's a lot."

 After a while, we headed to my house. When we got home, Dad's friend Isaac came with six free tickets to the Harvest Fair. After Isaac left, Dad said," We have five people in our family. Wo'll have to find someone else who wants to go to the fair."

"I want to go!" said Mareya.

" So do I!" said Ollie.

 It took me one second to go from happy to awkward(尴尬的). Just then, my 80- year- old neighbour, Mrs Nish, came in."I just saw the poster. I love fairs! But tickets aren't cheap now."

 That's when Ollie got an idea. He quietly said something to Mareya, and Mareya told it to me, and I told it to my father.

" Well, we happen to have an extra(多余的) ticket to that fair! Would you like to join us?" my dad asked.

" Really?" Mrs Nish's face lit up." I'd like that very much!"

 Tho fair was fantasist. But the very best part was seeing Mrs Nish laughing. The next weekend, Ollie, Mareya, and I had our own Harvest Fair party at home. We played games and made a big pic while singing along to our favourite band Eagle Daze.
