Each year, many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view, less academic(学业) competition or family honor. But life can be hard for young people there. At first, they have to face the culture differences and language problems. However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome(克服). To most children, controlling(管理) themselves well is a big challenge when studying alone in a strange country.
Yu Yang, a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto, Canada. 小题3To his surprise, his teachers there seldom push students to study hard. And usually there isn’t too much homework. Students have lots of free time to do some activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year’s money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money.
On the one hand, studying abroad can help students learn foreign languages quickly and open up their eyes, but on the other hand, some children may feel lonely, become bad, lose themselves, etc. Many provlems may happen to them. These are different from their original thoughts.  小题4So parents should think them over before their children go abroad.
(一)根据短文内容简要回答问题。
Why do Chinese parents send their children abroad?
                                                                          
What do the students have to face in foreign countries at first?
                                                                          
(二)将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。

In recent years, with the development of technology, many popular apps (应用程序) have been produced. These days, an app has caught great attention. It is Douyin, a video sharing app.Douyin first appeared in 2016. Now it is many people's favorite app, especially the young.

With Douyin, users can record videos, edit (编辑) them and share them online. It is very easy and interesting. We can share our videos with our friends with just a tap on the mobile phone screen. What's more, it's a great way to spend our free time by looking through those funny videos.

However, every coin has two sides. The app also has bad things. On the one hand, some people spend long hours on the app,which is harmful to their health. On the other hand, users can also find some bad things on the app. Such thing is unhealthy and unsuitable.

In my opinion, Douyin should check the videos before they are uploaded(上传)in order to keep a healthy environment for its users. Douyin is not good for teenagers. We should not use it too often.

Answer the questions according to the passage.

(1)When did Douyin first appear in China?   

(2)Is Douyin a photo taking app?   

(3)Can we share our videos on the television or on the mobile phone screen?

What will the home of the future look like? A team of architects (建造师) in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive. They have designed “space flats”. 83它们只有30 平米大。These flats have three small rooms, a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, as well as a balcony (阳台),but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.
The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded away and stored into a small apace in the wall. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. In one corner of the room, a small cooker, a microwave oven and a miniature refrigerator are hidden out of sight.
The other rooms are small but useful. The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be a sofa, if necessary, The balcony has enough room for two people to sit and enjoy the view from the block of flats. All the rooms have high ceiling to provide as much storage space as possible, while the flat has large windows to let in plenty of sunlight.
“Space flats “are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. “It’s wonderful,” said one resident(居民) “84. The flat is so well designed that you feel that there is plenty of space”
Why do the architects think that “Space flats “will be important in the future?

When Dr. Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.

    Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.

    Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.

    What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.

    That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.

回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过5个词.
