My youngest son has a severe form of autism （自闭症）.24 Even though he is in his twenties now, he still has the mind of a young child.
He speaks only a few words. He is lost in his own world most of the time. Things I find silly delight him and little changes that wouldn’t bother me at all bother him greatly. He will tear things up and cry for no reason that I can see. He will even hit himself.
It always hurts me to see him suffer this way especially when there is little I can do.25 This morning was particularly trying（令人厌烦的） for him. He tore up a new shirt I’d bought him and cried on and off(断断续续地哭) for an hour. Finally he calmed down again. However, I was still feeling stressed and exhausted. I sat down before my computer to see if I could get a little work done.
As I was turning it on, though, I heard my son laugh for the first time all day. I turned my head and saw him standing directly under the glass angel hanging from our ceiling fan. The light from our house lamps seemed to shine all around him like a gold ring. His eyes shone too as the little angel swung gently above his head. He laughed again and smiled at me, saying, “Mom, I love you”.
At that moment my heart opened. I could see that the miracle （奇迹） was reminding me that my son was more than his autism. I instead saw the shining soul within. I saw the love and light of his spirit and knew he was here for a purpose.26 My eyes watered and I feel grateful for this minor miracle and gentle reminder of his love for me.
27 Miracles are all around us, but we can’t always see them with our eyes. We often have to see them with our hearts. Keep your heart open to them then. And let yourself be the miracle you were meant to be!
24. What do we know about the author’s son? A. Little changes seldom bother him. B. His physical condition is very good. C. He treats others rudely and impolitely. D. He isn’t mature for his age.
25. What does the underlined word “trying” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Interesting. B. Puzzling. C. Annoying. D. Embarrassing.
26. Why were the author’s eyes full of tears? A. Because she saw her son’s love for her. B. Because the little angel comforted her son. C. Because the light from lamps seemed to shine.
D. Because she heard her son’s laughter for the first time. 27. What is the best title for the text?
A. The glass angel is swinging B. Disease can be cured accidentally C. The happiness lies in waiting D. Miracles come with open heart
C 说明文 学生们的日益增加的焦虑的主要原因
Tests, after-school activities and problems at home can increase stress for students.28 But research now suggests that the main reason for the students’ rising anxiety levels is something else.
A psychology professor Jean Twenge said “What a lot of teens told me is that using

social media and their phones seems forced.31This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions.” Last year, in the journal Pediatrics three researchers wrote that too much social media use might contribute to the development of mental health problems in teenagers, such as loneliness, depressive symptoms and anxiety.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. Yet 70 percent of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers, according to a February Pew Research Center report. Schools are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students’ social media activity for signs of pain. Some schools have organized some events in which people do not use their electronic devices. Belfast Area High School in Maine had one such event in April. About 20 percent of students and school employees took part, demonstrating the influence that the technology has on their daily life.
Emily Mogavero, a 17-year-old student in New York, said 29“I definitely feel stressed to keep up my information and stuff. It kind of worries me that I’m on my smart phone so long.” Mogavero said she sometimes puts her phone out of reach or powers it down so she doesn’t hear anything.
30 Some parents are not letting their children get smart phones until they grow up. A teacher, Erin Schifferli, says her 12-year-old daughter, Aeva, won’t get a phone until she is 16 years old. Deirdre Birmingham of Montclair signed on a campaign called “Wait Until Eighteen” because she didn’t think her video game-loving 10-year-old son was ready for a smart phone.
28. What’s the main cause of teenagers’ mental problems according to the text? A. Being addicted to social media. B. Being lacking in enough sleep. C. Too much homework. D. Too many activities. 29. What does Mogavero think of using smart phones too much? Be addicted to doing sth A. It is necessary. B. It is worrying. What do you think of...? C. It is reasonable. D. It is meaningless. How do you like....?你认为..30. How can parents deal with the children’s problem? A. Help their children grow up quickly. B. Stop their children using smart phones. C. Pay more attention to children’s study.
D. Sign on more campaigns to make a difference. 31. What can we learn from the text?
A. Over-using phones influences teens’ social interactions. B. 70 percent of people have anxiety and depression. C. Almost all the students liked the schools’ activities.
D. The findings of the research are very definite.
D说明文 塑料吸管的替代品
Roughly 8. 5 billion plastic straws(吸管) are used in the United Kingdom each year, but as a new ban takes effect next April, that number will decrease to zero. 32One startup （初创企业） is hoping to capture the chance to make a kind of straws as an alternative by using an unlikely material: pasta （意大利面食）.
“It has all the function of a plastic straw that everyone has been using,” says Maxim Gelmann, founder of Stroodles, the startup. The straws, made by an Italian company that also produces regular pasta, are the same shape and size as a standard plastic straw.
