A
1、 Great changes have taken place in the way of communication in people's life.
You may find many beacon towers (烽火台) when you are visiting the Great Wall. In fact, they were used by soldiers to send messages by burning something to make smoke. When the soldiers from far away places saw the smoke, they knew something important happened. They would do the same. That's one of the ways of communication. In the old days, it was very difficult for people to keep in touch with each other. It took postmen several days to send a letter from one place to another by riding horses. In order to provide a place for the postmen to live in, the government had to build many post houses. Some people trained pigeons (鸽子) or other birds to carry letters, others even used kites to send messages.
Telegrams (1781) and fixed telephones (1892) are great inventions. They have changed the way of communication. People can communicate with each other easily. But they can only send words. For pictures, people can use fax(传真) machines (1843) or e-mails (1969). With the spread of Internet, people can send messages at any time, in any place only if there is network and a computer. What's more, smart phones (1973) have made communication much easier. They are like small computers. They can send sound, words and pictures. More than two billion (十亿) people around the world are using smart phones to communicate now.

2、 The world's population has increased to 7 billion since 2011. However, it is not even(均匀) all over the world, so different countries have carried out different population policies.
Russia has the largest territory (领土) in the world, but its population is only about 140 million. Its death rate is higher than its birth rate. What's worse, more and more families don't want to have any children. Russian president Putin once said, "If this situation goes on, our nation will be in danger." So Russia has taken measures to encourage Russian families to have more children. It has increased the money paid for babies.
Germany is also worried about its population. Dr. Herman, a hospital president, said, "We are short of nothing but babies." German mothers can get a large amount of money from the government each month if they give birth to a baby .However, money doesn't often work well.
South Korea started its family planning policy in 1962. After controlling (控制) its population for almost thirty years, South Korea had to change its policy in 1990 because of low birth rate and sex ratio imbalance (性别比失衡). Japan has experienced the same problem. It began to control its population in 1948, but now it is making its effort to increase its population.
1. According to the passage, the density (密度) of population in Russia is ______.
A. high B. low C. dangerous D. increasing
2. According to the passage, which of the following country has never controlled its population
A. Russia. B. South Korea. C. India. D. Japan.
3. We can infer from the passage that the birth rate in Germany is ______.
A. Low B. high C. expensive D. reasonable (合理的）
4. The government will give money to babies in ______.
A. China and Russia B. Germany and Japan C. Russia and Germany D. Russia and Japan
5. Why Japan don't control its population now
A. Because it is very rich. B. Because its death rate is low.
C. Because its birth rate is low. D. Because its sex ratio is reasonable(合理的）.
C
3、 Since the reform and opening-up, more and more people have left their homes to work in cities to make more money so that they can provide their families with better living conditions. They are so-called migrant(外来的) workers. For many reasons, they have to leave their children behind living with their grandparents or other relatives.
China has 100 million "left-behind children," one-third of the country's total underage population, who are growing up without the companionship (陪伴) of a parent, according to a meeting held in Tianjin on Saturday as the country prepares to make its first survey on "left-behind children" this year to find out the exact number and how big a problem the government needs to solve.
Left-behind children have become a serious social problem. They are short of family education and are more likely to develop bad habits such as smoking, drinking, fighting, stealing and even do great harm to others when they grow up. They may feel lonely and do badly in study. On the other hand, bad people manage to teach them to do something wrong and hurt them.
Luckily, our government has taken measures to help them. Now they can go to school in the place where their parents work. Organizations and volunteers are offering all kinds of help, too. One of the goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan is to reduce the number of left-behind children by 2020.
1. According to the passage, the number of the underage population may be _____.
A. 100 million B. 300 million C. 1 billion D. 30 million
2. Left-behind children ______.
A. usually live by themselves B. are short of parents' companionship
C. study hard and get higher scores D. are from poor families
3. The meaning of the underlined word means ______.
A. cut up B. cut into C. cut down D. cut off
4. We can infer that(推断）left-behind children ______.
A. couldn't go school in their parents' work place in the past
B. can go to school in the their parents' work place at any time
C. are more likely to have good habits than bad habits
D. are interested in doing bad things
5. Which of the following isn't mentioned in the passage
A. Volunteers often help left-behind children.
B. The government pay much attention to left-behind children.
C. The number of the left-behind children will be less and less in the future.
D. The government is quite clear about the number of the left-behind children.

4、 "Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "Which fast food do you like best when you were growing up "
"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I told him. "All the food was slow." "Where did you eat " "It was a place called 'at home', " I explained. "Grandma cooked every day and when grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dinning room, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate, I was asked to sit there until I did like it."
When I was a kid, most parents didn't own their houses, set foot on a golf course(高尔夫球场), travel out of the country or have a credit card(信用卡).
My parents have never driven me to football practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of football. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and it only had one speed. We only had a television in our house when I was 11.
I delivered(邮送) newspapers, six days a week. The customers should spend 7 cents, of which I could keep 2 cents on the newspapers. I had to get up at 4 a. m. every morning. On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers. My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change.
If you grew up in a generation ( 一代) before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children and grandchildren. Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it

二：任务型阅读（每小题2分，共10分）
Shadow puppetry (皮影戏) started during the Western Han Dynasty and it has a long history of more than 2, 000 years. It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap.
The puppets are usually made from leather (皮革) or paper.It is hard to make them. The puppet-makers have to take 24 steps, which include washing the leather,carving (雕刻) and painting, to make a puppet.
Just like many things that are in danger, traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. “Many young people still think that shadow puppetry is an old-fashioned folk art,” said Liu Chaokan, the sixth-generation inheritor (继承人) of shadow puppetry in Yunnan province.
Liu understands why old art forms couldn't interest young people, so he connects new stories with the traditional form of storytelling. In a recent show based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West, Baigujing dances to a Korean pop song. Popular Chinese cartoon characters, together with the modern factors (元素), are Liu's secret in getting the attention of children. “Since they couldn't understand those old stories, why don’t we show them the cartoon characters they love in shadow puppetry shows ” said Liu.
To keep the old art forever young, Liu thinks they should respect (尊重) its traditions and protect the basic of the art.
根据短文内容，回答下面的问题。（共5小题，计10分）
1. How long has shadow puppetry been in China
2. What are the puppets made from
3. How do many young people feel about shadow puppetry according to Liu Chaokan
