A
Are you interested in ancient Britain Take a trip back in time and discover the Britain the ancestors knew．
Maiden Castle，Dorset
Maiden Castle was built in about 600 BC．It was a simple and ordinary site in the early phase．Around 450 BC it was greatly expanded，making it the largest hill fort in Britain．During the medieval period，it was used only for agriculture．Thomas Hardy，who built his house within sight of it，described the castle in a short story．John Cowper Powys wrote a novel titled Maiden Castle，which was set in Dorset．
Avebury，Wiltshire
This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe．Built during the New Stone Age，it was thought to calm the powers of nature．The nearby Avebury Manor offers hands on insights into how the village has developed over the centuries．Unlike most historical sites，interaction is encouraged here，and visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs and lie on the beds．
Skara Brae，Orkney Islands
Older than Stonehenge，Skara Brae is unusually well protected．It has been described as one of the most remarkable prehistoric monuments (史前遺跡) in all of Europe．The Neolithic village is made up of eight round houses，connected by a series of small passages．The village was home to farmers，hunters and fishermen．Be sure to keep warm to protect you against the strong Orkney winds．
Butser Ancient Farm，Hampshire
Butser Ancient Farm is an archaeological(考古的) open air museum that was founded in 1970 by the Council for British Archaeology．It meant to create a working ancient farm where archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age．The farm built ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from all over the country．
1．What do we know about Maiden Castle
A．It's now set for expansion．
B．It's a suitable place for cultural activities．
C．It was seriously damaged by natural disasters．
D．It provided creative inspiration for some writers．
2．Which place best suits tourists hoping to have direct access to historical objects

B．Skara Brae．
C．Maiden Castle．
D．Butser Ancient Farm．
3．Why did the Council for British Archaeology build Butser Ancient Farm

When you're bored，you might start playing with a ball or other objects．Such behavior is common in people．Other animals like it too—that's why a dog fetches a stick，or a cat bats at toys．Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time．A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play．Bumblebees(大黃蜂) do it too，making them the first insects known to play．
In the study，Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona，an insect expert，did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play．Of those，45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults．
A pathway was set up from the bumblebees' nest to a feeding area．One side contained small wooden balls that rolled．The other side had the same number of balls，but they were stuck to the floor．Half balls on each side were colored balls．The rest were left unpainted．
For three hours a day over 18 days，Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move，but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls．Once they managed to roll a ball，they strongly preferred that side．They returned，climbing on the balls and rolling them around．She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls．
“There's something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects，” Galpayage Dona says．In another experiment，she sometimes left the balls out overnight．“When I came in the next day，I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls．” As with mammals，the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones．Their play tapered off as they got older．
The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it．But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings．
4．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By describing the fun of play．
B．By analyzing reasons for boredom．
C．By introducing similar phenomena．
D．By presenting animals' cute images．

Today，battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago．And the expectation is that the costs will continue to fall，because battery chemistry improves and manufacturing(批量生產(chǎn)) lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper．
You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants，but the possible effects of this are enormous，and will benefit all of us．First and most obviously，it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer lasting．And brilliantly，because electric batteries are improving so dramatically，we can already see the results．Last September，15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles．So the change is starting to happen．
Better batteries do not just mean better cars，however．They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid(輸電網(wǎng))．Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid．Today，only a tiny amount of generated electricity is stored for later use，which leads to lots of power going to waste．But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid．
It's possible that in the not too distant future，we might have an enormous battery in the garage．It would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof)，and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high．Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars，but they are also growing in popularity．
So，given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade，I can't help but be strangely optimistic about the future．Batteries may not be as flashy(華麗的) as phones，rockets or other new technologies．But when it comes to technology to fight climate change，they're definitely leading the charge．
8．What contributes to the popularity of electric cars
A．The production of individual batteries．
B．The longer duration and less cost of batteries．
C．Accountants' interest in cheaper batteries．
D．The increasing vehicle registrations．
9．What does the underlined word “viable” mean in paragraph 3
A．Cheaper． B．Dramatic．
C．Workable． D．Exceptional．
10．What does the author expect of batteries
A．They will become smaller．
B．They will help make the world greener．
C．They will sell better than phones．
D．They will replace chargers on a long trip．
11．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．Home Batteries Will Catch On
B．Batteries Are Getting Better and Better
C．Battery Technology Needs Improving Urgently
D．Petrol powered Cars Will Be Upgraded

In 2014，Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a challenge．She picked a 79 year old senior named Wagner，who regularly gave back to the community．Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better，so they spent a day together，picking up groceries and getting their nails done．“It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her，” says Mahoney．
Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking．How many other seniors might benefit from dedicated attention She came up with a plan: find local seniors with long time dreams and work to fulfill their wishes．She named the new charity: We Are Young，or WAY for short．
Seniors can nominate(提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else; wishes are then assessed by a community committee that looks at factors such as age related physical barriers，social isolation and financial need．
Melanie nominated her husband，78 year old Victor，to go rockhounding，a hobby he'd given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes(晶洞)．The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and search out geodes on the beach．“Now，Victor has regained his self confidence and is willing to take on new challenges．We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others，” says Mahoney．
Up to now，WAY has delivered on 41 dreams，ranging from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry picking spot to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game．While her charity operates only in Nova Scotia，Mahoney has her own dream．Each WAY wish is recorded on video，and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community．“We want to create a national movement that shifts our whole society's view，value and support for seniors，” says Mahoney．“That is the impact we're trying to create．”
12．Why did Mahoney set up WAY
A．To complete a challenge．
B．To give back to local communities．
C．To do daily chores for the elderly．
D．To help seniors realise their goals．
13．How has WAY affected Victor
A．He has made more friends．
B．He has started a new hobby．
C．He has become high spirited．
D．He has regained his son's support．
14．What does Mahoney intend to do by recording videos
A．Rise to fame and fortune overnight．
B．Keep memories alive for the elderly．
C．Positively change our attitudes towards the elderly．
D．Improve interpersonal relationships in the community．
15．What is the text mainly about
A．Lifelong dreams．
B．A charity for seniors．
C．Problems seniors meet．
D．An unforgettable experience．

Being a teenager is hard． 16 And parents don't always know how to be supportive．Clinical psychologist Lisa Damour says instead of jumping into problem solving mode，parents can learn to ride the wave of emotional management with their teens．Here are some of her suggestions．
17 One of the best gifts you can give them is to be a steady presence and lead with curiosity and empathy(共情)．When a teen is experiencing low self esteem，Damour says comforting doesn't work nearly as well as we would like． 18 Try saying，“You know that's not true，but it must feel awful to feel that way．”
Talking about emotions is good，but there can be a tipping point when talking too much about feelings．In this situation，Damour suggests comforting and then shifting a teen who's over processing their emotions into something else． 19
For the teen who doesn't talk about their feelings，Damour reminds parents that there are healthy non verbal ways to process emotions．Listening to music，playing sports and making art are healthy ways for teens to work through emotions that don't involve having a discussion．
　　 20 But Damour notes that when a teen is too sensitive to some negative feelings and they're using destructive behaviors to cope，it's time to step in and give more support or seek professional help．
A．They are much more dependent on themselves．
B．Another way to help a teen is to turn to professionals．
C．Instead，she suggests empathizing with how the teen feels．
D．Every day holds the possibility of emotional highs and lows．
E．Remember that your teens are at a demanding developmental stage．
F．You can suggest doing an activity they enjoy and revisit the issue the next day．
G．Your teens deserve encouraging when their emotions are handled in a healthy way．

The cat meowed angrily as she clawed at Jennifer's arm，drawing a thin line of blood．Just as quickly as she struck out with her claw，the agile(靈活的) orange and white cat leaped back to her hiding space under Jennifer's bed．From the darkness underneath the bed，two green eyes produced bright light，staring back out at Jennifer．
Jennifer was starting to feel discouraged in a major way．She was never one for giving up; but it had been several days like this since she adopted the cat，Darla，from the animal shelter，struggling to win over the young cat's affections through treats and soft and gentle whispers．It was during her summer break，so she had plenty of time to keep trying to win over the animal．But it wasn't time that was the issue—it was Jennifer's emotions that were quickly fading．
It had been two years since Jennifer's beloved brown tabby(斑貓)，Marlin，had passed away．She never could quite get over the shock and emptiness which remained in her heart where childlike joy once thrived．Marlin had been Jennifer's faithful friend and loving companion through all the pains and trials of growing up．After Marlin died，things were never quite the same again for Jennifer．It was the first real death to pierce Jennifer's heart and signaled the end of her carefree childhood．
She desperately wanted Darla to love her the way Marlin had and for her to love Darla just the same; but what was Jennifer supposed to do now The cut on her arm was all she had to show for her effort．Jennifer sat on the floor，burying her face in her hands，and her body trembled as she softly began to cry．

After a few minutes，Jennifer noticed a strange feeling—fur．

After a few minutes，Jennifer noticed a strange feeling—fur． It was Darla brushing up against her face．A wave of warmth surged over Jennifer's heart．She raised her head and found the little cat staring into her eyes，meowing gently，as if she sensed Jennifer's pain and came to apologize．Jennifer's tears dried out and her heart was healed by the little creature's company．Then，a thought suddenly came to her that Darla was not the one in need of comfort，but she was．
Jennifer then reached out her hand toward the cat．Darla，suddenly aware of the hand's presence，moved back to eye the hand cautiously，for quite a while．Then she made an attempt to approach very slowly，and finally pushed her head against the palm of Jennifer's hand．Jennifer responded by stroking her softly，and the cat accepted．With a good stretch Darla rested happily next to her，Jennifer was clear that it was true feelings that brought them mutual trust．
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了英國(guó)四個(gè)著名的歷史古跡。
1．D　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Maiden Castle，Dorset部分中的“Thomas Hardy，who built his house within sight of it，described the castle in a short story．John Cowper Powys wrote a novel titled Maiden Castle，which was set in Dorset．(托馬斯·哈代在視線范圍內(nèi)建造了他的房子，他在一個(gè)短篇小說(shuō)中描述了這座城堡。約翰·考珀·波伊斯寫了一部名為《少女城堡》的小說(shuō)，故事發(fā)生在多塞特郡。)”可知，這兩個(gè)作家都以Maiden Castle為靈感寫了小說(shuō)故事，所以Maiden Castle為一些作家提供了創(chuàng)作靈感。故選D項(xiàng)。]
2．A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Avebury，Wiltshire部分中的“Unlike most historical sites，interaction is encouraged here，and visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs and lie on the beds．(與大多數(shù)歷史遺跡不同，這里鼓勵(lì)互動(dòng)，歡迎游客坐在椅子上、躺在床上。)”可知，游客在Avebury可以接觸歷史物品。故選A項(xiàng)。]
3．C　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)Butser Ancient Farm，Hampshire部分中的“It meant to create a working ancient farm where archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age．(這意味著創(chuàng)建一個(gè)古老的農(nóng)場(chǎng)，考古學(xué)家可以在那里探索他們關(guān)于鐵器時(shí)代人們?nèi)绾紊詈凸ぷ鞯睦碚摗?”可推知，建造Butser Ancient Farm可以使考古工作更加便捷。故選C項(xiàng)。]
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，喜歡玩耍的不僅僅是哺乳動(dòng)物。大黃蜂也這樣做，這使它們成為已知的喜歡玩耍的第一種昆蟲。
4．C　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“When you're bored，you might start playing with a ball or other objects．Such behavior is common in people．Other animals like it too—that's why a dog fetches a stick，or a cat bats at toys．Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time．A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play．Bumblebees do it too，making them the first insects known to play．(當(dāng)你感到無(wú)聊時(shí)，你可能會(huì)開始玩球或其他物體。這種行為在人群中很常見。其他動(dòng)物也喜歡這樣——這就是為什么狗會(huì)撿到一根棍子，或者貓會(huì)向玩具發(fā)起攻擊。玩耍是消磨時(shí)間的一種令人愉快的方式。一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，喜歡玩耍的不僅僅是哺乳動(dòng)物。大黃蜂也這樣做，這使它們成為已知的喜歡玩耍的第一種昆蟲。)”可知，作者介紹了人類和一些動(dòng)物是相似的，都會(huì)通過(guò)玩耍來(lái)消磨時(shí)間，以此來(lái)引出文章主題——大黃蜂也這樣做。由此推知，作者通過(guò)介紹相似現(xiàn)象來(lái)引出文章主題。故選C。]
5．B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“A pathway was set up from the bumblebees' nest to a feeding area．One side contained small wooden balls that rolled．(一條小路從大黃蜂的巢穴通往一個(gè)進(jìn)食區(qū)。一邊是滾動(dòng)的小木球。)”可知，在實(shí)驗(yàn)中，研究者把小球放在小路上。故選B。]
6．C　[詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線短語(yǔ)上文“As with mammals，the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones．(和哺乳動(dòng)物一樣，這些大黃蜂中玩得最多的都是些年輕的。)”和畫線短語(yǔ)所在句“Their play tapered off as they got older．(隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，它們的玩耍逐漸tapered off。)”可知，和哺乳動(dòng)物一樣，大黃蜂中玩得最多的是年輕的，那些歲數(shù)大的黃蜂玩得較少。由此推知，隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，大黃蜂玩得次數(shù)減少，畫線短語(yǔ)“tapered off”意為“減少”，與C項(xiàng)意思一樣。故選C。]
7．D　[標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段中的“A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play．Bumblebees do it too，making them the first insects known to play．(一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，喜歡玩耍的不僅僅是哺乳動(dòng)物。大黃蜂也這樣做，這使它們成為已知的喜歡玩耍的第一種昆蟲。)”可知，文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，大黃蜂是已知的喜歡玩耍的第一種昆蟲。由此可知，D項(xiàng)“大黃蜂是已知的喜歡玩耍的第一種昆蟲”最適合作文章標(biāo)題。故選D。]
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要說(shuō)明電池技術(shù)的發(fā)展讓電池價(jià)格越來(lái)越低并且存儲(chǔ)量越來(lái)越大，這能讓更多人受益。電池技術(shù)還有助于整個(gè)國(guó)家電網(wǎng)的脫碳，使大量?jī)?chǔ)存電能具有可行性，從而促進(jìn)家用電池的流行。最后作者樂觀展望電池的未來(lái)。
8．B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“First and most obviously，it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longerlasting．And brilliantly，because electric batteries are improving so dramatically，we can already see the results．Last September，15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles．”可知，電動(dòng)汽車的電池變得更便宜且更耐用，所以現(xiàn)在電動(dòng)汽車跑得更遠(yuǎn)，其實(shí)用性更強(qiáng)，因此電動(dòng)汽車注冊(cè)用戶開始增加。故選B。]
9．C　[詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文“Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid．”及畫線詞所在句“But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid．”中的“But”可知，更好的電池可以解決當(dāng)前只有少量的電能被儲(chǔ)存的問題。由此可知，畫線詞意為“可行的，行得通的”。故選C。]
10．B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid．”和最后一段中的“Batteries may not be as flashy as phones，rockets or other new technologies．But when it comes to technology to fight climate change，they're definitely leading the charge．”可知，作者認(rèn)為電池技術(shù)能幫助減少碳排放，能有力地幫助解決全球氣候問題，即可以讓世界更環(huán)保。故選B。]
11．B　[標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)第二段中的 “First and most obviously，it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longerlasting．”，第三段中的“They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid．”和第四段中的“It would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof)，and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high．Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars，but they are also growing in popularity．”可知，作者一直在強(qiáng)調(diào)電池變得更好、更受歡迎，從而也讓更多人受益；再根據(jù)最后一段中的“So，given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade，I can't help but be strangely optimistic about the future．”可知，作者對(duì)電池的前景充滿樂觀與希望。故B項(xiàng)“電池越來(lái)越好”最適合作本文標(biāo)題。故選B。]
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章主要介紹了Mahoney成立慈善組織WAY來(lái)幫助老年人實(shí)現(xiàn)愿望。

Are you interested in ancient Britain Take a trip back in time and discover the Britain the ancestors knew．
Maiden Castle，Dorset
Maiden Castle was built in about 600 BC．It was a simple and ordinary site in the early phase．Around 450 BC it was greatly expanded，making it the largest hill fort in Britain．During the medieval period，it was used only for agriculture．Thomas Hardy，who built his house within sight of it，described the castle in a short story．John Cowper Powys wrote a novel titled Maiden Castle，which was set in Dorset．
Avebury，Wiltshire
This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe．Built during the New Stone Age，it was thought to calm the powers of nature．The nearby Avebury Manor offers hands-on insights into how the village has developed over the centuries．Unlike most historical sites，interaction is encouraged here，and visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs and lie on the beds．
Skara Brae，Orkney Islands
Older than Stonehenge，Skara Brae is unusually well protected．It has been described as one of the most remarkable prehistoric monuments (史前遺跡) in all of Europe．The Neolithic village is made up of eight round houses，connected by a series of small passages．The village was home to farmers，hunters and fishermen．Be sure to keep warm to protect you against the strong Orkney winds．
Butser Ancient Farm，Hampshire
Butser Ancient Farm is an archaeological(考古的) open-air museum that was founded in 1970 by the Council for British Archaeology．It meant to create a working ancient farm where archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age．The farm built ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from all over the country．

When you're bored，you might start playing with a ball or other objects．Such behavior is common in people．Other animals like it too—that's why a dog fetches a stick，or a cat bats at toys．Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time．A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play．Bumblebees(大黃蜂) do it too，making them the first insects known to play．
In the study，Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona，an insect expert，did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play．Of those，45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults．
A pathway was set up from the bumblebees' nest to a feeding area．One side contained small wooden balls that rolled．The other side had the same number of balls，but they were stuck to the floor．Half balls on each side were colored balls．The rest were left unpainted．
For three hours a day over 18 days，Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move，but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls．Once they managed to roll a ball，they strongly preferred that side．They returned，climbing on the balls and rolling them around．She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls．
“There's something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects，” Galpayage Dona says．In another experiment，she sometimes left the balls out overnight．“When I came in the next day，I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls．” As with mammals，the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones．Their play tapered off as they got older．
The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it．But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings．
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，喜歡玩耍的不僅僅是哺乳動(dòng)物。大黃蜂也這樣做，這使它們成為已知的喜歡玩耍的第一種昆蟲。

C
Today，battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago．And the expectation is that the costs will continue to fall，because battery chemistry improves and manufacturing(批量生產(chǎn)) lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper．
You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants，but the possible effects of this are enormous，and will benefit all of us．First and most obviously，it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting．And brilliantly，because electric batteries are improving so dramatically，we can already see the results．Last September，15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles．So the change is starting to happen．
Better batteries do not just mean better cars，however．They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid(輸電網(wǎng))．Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid．Today，only a tiny amount of generated electricity is stored for later use，which leads to lots of power going to waste．But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid．
It's possible that in the not-too-distant future，we might have an enormous battery in the garage．It would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof)，and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high．Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars，but they are also growing in popularity．
So，given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade，I can't help but be strangely optimistic about the future．Batteries may not be as flashy(華麗的) as phones，rockets or other new technologies．But when it comes to technology to fight climate change，they're definitely leading the charge．
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要說(shuō)明電池技術(shù)的發(fā)展讓電池價(jià)格越來(lái)越低并且存儲(chǔ)量越來(lái)越大，這能讓更多人受益。電池技術(shù)還有助于整個(gè)國(guó)家電網(wǎng)的脫碳，使大量?jī)?chǔ)存電能具有可行性，從而促進(jìn)家用電池的流行。最后作者樂觀展望電池的未來(lái)。
√

A．The production of individual batteries．
B．The longer duration and less cost of batteries．
C．Accountants' interest in cheaper batteries．
D．The increasing vehicle registrations．
B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“First and most obviously，it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting．And brilliantly，because electric batteries are improving so dramatically，we can already see the results．Last September，15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles．”可知，電動(dòng)汽車的電池變得更便宜且更耐用，所以現(xiàn)在電動(dòng)汽車跑得更遠(yuǎn)，其實(shí)用性更強(qiáng)，因此電動(dòng)汽車注冊(cè)用戶開始增加。故選B。]
√
9．What does the underlined word “viable” mean in paragraph 3

In 2014，Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a challenge．She picked a 79-year-old senior named Wagner，who regularly gave back to the community．Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better，so they spent a day together，picking up groceries and getting their nails done．“It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her，” says Mahoney．
Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking．How many other seniors might benefit from dedicated attention She came up with a plan: find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill their wishes．She named the new charity: We Are Young，or WAY for short．
Seniors can nominate(提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else; wishes are then assessed by a community committee that looks at factors such as age-related physical barriers，social isolation and financial need．
Melanie nominated her husband，78-year-old Victor，to go rockhounding，a hobby he'd given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes(晶洞)．The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and search out geodes on the beach．“Now，Victor has regained his self-confidence and is willing to take on new challenges．We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others，” says Mahoney．
Up to now，WAY has delivered on 41 dreams，ranging from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking spot to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game．While her charity operates only in Nova Scotia，Mahoney has her own dream．Each WAY wish is recorded on video，and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community．“We want to create a national movement that shifts our whole society's view，value and support for seniors，” says Mahoney．“That is the impact we're trying to create．”

Being a teenager is hard． 16 And parents don't always know how to be supportive．Clinical psychologist Lisa Damour says instead of jumping into problem-solving mode，parents can learn to ride the wave of emotional management with their teens．Here are some of her suggestions．
17 One of the best gifts you can give them is to be a steady presence and lead with curiosity and empathy(共情)．When a teen is experiencing low self-esteem，Damour says comforting doesn't work nearly as well as we would like． 18 Try saying，“You know that's not true，but it must feel awful to feel that way．”
Talking about emotions is good，but there can be a tipping point when talking too much about feelings．In this situation，Damour suggests comforting and then shifting a teen who's over-processing their emotions into something else． 19 9
For the teen who doesn't talk about their feelings，Damour reminds parents that there are healthy non-verbal ways to process emotions．Listening to music，playing sports and making art are healthy ways for teens to work through emotions that don't involve having a discussion．
20 But Damour notes that when a teen is too sensitive to some negative feelings and they're using destructive behaviors to cope，it's time to step in and give more support or seek professional help．
A．They are much more dependent on themselves．
B．Another way to help a teen is to turn to professionals．
C．Instead，she suggests empathizing with how the teen feels．
D．Every day holds the possibility of emotional highs and lows．
E．Remember that your teens are at a demanding developmental stage．
F．You can suggest doing an activity they enjoy and revisit the issue the next day．
G．Your teens deserve encouraging when their emotions are handled in a healthy way．

Mrowwwwl!
The cat meowed angrily as she clawed at Jennifer's arm，drawing a thin line of blood．Just as quickly as she struck out with her claw，the agile(靈活的) orange-and-white cat leaped back to her hiding space under Jennifer's bed．From the darkness underneath the bed，two green eyes produced bright light，staring back out at Jennifer．
Jennifer was starting to feel discouraged in a major way．She was never one for giving up; but it had been several days like this since she adopted the cat，Darla，from the animal shelter，struggling to win over the young cat's affections through treats and soft and gentle whispers．It was during her summer break，so she had plenty of time to keep trying to win over the animal．But it wasn't time that was the issue—it was Jennifer's emotions that were quickly fading．
It had been two years since Jennifer's beloved brown tabby(斑貓)，Marlin，had passed away．She never could quite get over the shock and emptiness which remained in her heart where childlike joy once thrived．Marlin had been Jennifer's faithful friend and loving companion through all the pains and trials of growing up．After Marlin died，things were never quite the same again for Jennifer．It was the first real death to pierce Jennifer's heart and signaled the end of her carefree childhood．
She desperately wanted Darla to love her the way Marlin had and for her to love Darla just the same; but what was Jennifer supposed to do now The cut on her arm was all she had to show for her effort．Jennifer sat on the floor，burying her face in her hands，and her body trembled as she softly began to cry．

After a few minutes，Jennifer noticed a strange feeling—fur．It was Darla brushing up against her face．A wave of warmth surged over Jennifer's heart．She raised her head and found the little cat staring into her eyes，meowing gently，as if she sensed Jennifer's pain and came to apologize．Jennifer's tears dried out and her heart was healed by the little creature's company．Then，a thought suddenly came to her that Darla was not the one in need of comfort，but she was．
Jennifer then reached out her hand toward the cat．Darla，suddenly aware of the hand's presence，moved back to eye the hand cautiously，for quite a while．Then she made an attempt to approach very slowly，and finally pushed her head against the palm of Jennifer's hand．Jennifer responded by stroking her softly，and the cat accepted．With a good stretch Darla rested happily next to her，Jennifer was clear that it was true feelings that brought them mutual trust．
