A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them.
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, you can’t. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you
what real flying is!”
One of the swans, strong and young, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He showed flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to try to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan asked, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because I am proud! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, China, was chosen to be the host city of the 19th Asian Games. However, some people say that the 19th Asian Games will be held in 2022, while some say 2023. Which is true?
To make it clear, we need to have a better understanding of Asian Games first.
The Asian Games is a multi-sport event. It is held every four years among athletes from all over Asia. It is the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games.
The Asian Games are always held at the same year as the World Cup, which is also held every four years. Many people around the world pay more attention to the World Cup. This really makes the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) worried. So, the OCA decides to postpone the 18th Asian Games for a year. That is in 2019. In this way, the Asian Games won’t be held in the same year as the World Cup. So Hangzhou will hold the event in 2023.
Hanoi(河内), capital of Vietnam(越南), is the host city of the 18th Asian Games. However, Vietnamese government announced in 2014 that Hanoi gave up the right to host the Asian Games because they don’t have enough money.
Luckily, Djakarta(雅加达), capital of Indonesia(印度尼西亚), was willing to be the host city instead of Hanoi. But then came another problem. Djakarta will hold presidential election(总统选举) in 2019, so the government wanted to change the holding time of the Asian Games back to 2018. The OCA agreed.
( ) 48. The 19th Asian Games is to be held in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang in . A. 2023 B. 2022 C. 2019 D. 2018 ( ) 49. What does the underlined word “postpone” mean in the passage?
A. do something earlier B. do something on time C. do something later D. do something right now
( ) 50. Why did the government of Indonesia wanted to change the holding time of the Asian
Games back to 2018?
A. Because they don’t have enough money. B. Because the World Cup will be held in 2018.
C. Because the OCA has advised them to change the time. D. Because Djakarta will hold presidential election in 2019. C
I once had a hard time making a living in France. It was one night three years ago, I felt a need to meet people so I went to the cinema. Outside the cinema was a woman with long dirty gray hair asking for money. I reached for my wallet but then something made me stop and enter into a conversation with her. I said, “Look, all the women going to the cinema here are seeing a film that can change your life. I’d rather buy you a ticket than give you money.”
She thought for a moment and then came in with me. She hid behind me because, she said, the people running the theater didn’t like her. I got her a ticket and she sat next to me. There were about 80 women there. I noticed some of them were turning around and looking at me with expressions of surprise.
I asked the poor woman to come the following night to an event where there would be many representatives(代表) of different kinds of social services. I thought they could be of some help to her. She did come and I was able to direct her to an agency that helped women in her situation. At that time, a woman came toward me and said, “Are you the person who bought a ticket for the woman outside the theater asking for money?” When I said yes, she said, “I want you to come to the community center where I work. I want the other people there to meet you.”
This was the beginning of a deep friendship and workmate relationship. I now have a great job and have more work than I’ve ever had in my 20 years in France. And the woman I took to the cinema that night? I learned that she was not homeless and that she was a secretary. ( )51. In what order did the following events happen?
a. Some of the women turned around and looked at the writer in surprise. b. The writer went to the cinema to meet some people.
c. The woman accepted the ticket and sat next to the writer in the cinema. d. The writer got a job in the community center.

A. b, a, c, d, e B. c, e, a, b, d C. b, c, d, a, e D. b, c, a, e, d ( )52. Why did the woman hide behind the author when going into the cinema? A. She wanted to see a film without a ticket. B. Her body gave out a pleasant smell. C. She was not welcome to see the film there. D. She was afraid of being caught by the manger on duty. ( )53. What is the main idea of the text? A. Why the writer had a hard time in France. B. Getting a job is not so easy. C. Kindness is necessary sometimes. D. How the writer changed his life by helping a woman. D
If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍).
“Exercise seems to cause good changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
( )54. What does the underlined word “enhance” mean?
A. produce B. provide C. improve D. impress ( )55. From the last paragraph we can learn that ______.
A. you should follow your parents’ words
B. you have some good reasons to join in an IQ test
C. good marks depend on listening to music and exercising D. exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests ( )56. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease. B. Exercise is used for people with head hurts.
C. Exercise causes no changes in health without music. D. Music can help you relax and feel energetic. ( )57. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Exercise to Music B. Music and study
C. Importance of Music D. Studies on Exercise

I'm a middle school student. We know now there are many left-behind children whose parents work away from their hometown.
These children are facing many problems now. It is easy for them to feel lonely and they also have some trouble making friends with others sometimes. They also need help with their study. Most of them are looked after by their grandparents. They are not strict with their grandchildren. I think we should plan a volunteer project to help them. And we can donate our money and clothes to them. We should care more about them. And the parents should return to their children as often as possible. It’s really important to do something for left behind children if we want to build a better society.
