A
Navigating Border Security
You may think what you say on WeChat is your own business, but apparently the foreign authorities don’t agree. In other words, you need to be fully aware of the items you’re not allowed to bring before you travel abroad.
Obscene(淫秽)and pirated(盗版)materials
In many Western countries, possessing and transporting underage porn(黄色书刊)is considered a serious crime. According to the United States Department of Justice, a first time offender charged with producing child porn faces fines and 15 to 30 years in prison. The website of UK Visas and Immigration also listed pirated copies of movies and music as illegal, because they infringe upon intellectual property rights. If you’re caught bringing pirated products into the UK, the products will be confiscated(没收),and you may face prosecution.
Food, animals and plants
According to Australia’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection, Australia has strict quarantine laws. Animals from overseas could bring diseases and pests into the country and destroy the local environment.
Cash
There is a limit of cash you can bring when traveling abroad. According to UK Visas and Immigration, the maximum amount of cash(including bankers’ drafts and checks) you can bring into the country is £10,000(72,000 yuan). You’ll have to declare it if you’re brining more, or you could face a fine of up to £5,000 (46,000)yuan. But if you’re entering the UK from another European Union country, you don’t need to declare your cash, no matter how much you have.
Other items
Customs rules vary from country to country. For example, when entering Australia you also need to declare traditional medicines because they may contain endangered plant or animal products. Heritage-related goods, including artworks and stamps, also need to be declared. This is why you should always check the local customs website to make sure of what you can put into your luggage, and of course, your electronic devices.
21. Which of the following items may be allowed to bring without declaring when you enter Australia?
A. Traditional medicines B. Pet dogs and cats
C. Stamp albums D. Story books
22. What can we know from the passage?
A. Travelers should declare their cash when entering the UK from Germany
B. Both the USA and the UK have laws against obscene and pirated materials
C. You can bring more than £10,000 without declaring when you enter the UK from China
D. Taking traditional medicines to Australia may destroy the local environment
23. Where is the article above probably taken from?
A. A travel brochure B. A fashion magazine
C. An exhibition guide D. A science report
B
A 60-year-old homeless woman named Smokie has been sleeping outside in the dirt a few doors down from a man named Elvis Summers.
Most mornings, she stops by Elvis’s Los Angeles apartment and asks if he has any recyclables for her. Through these conversation, they struck up a friendship.
One morning, Elvis saw a news article about a man in Oakland who has been making tiny houses out of discarded material. He was inspired to put off paying a few bills so he could buy the lumber and hardware to make Smokie a brand new shelter. It took him five days to build, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign, “Home Sweet Home.”
I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,” he told Good News Network. “The local LAPD cops have been super cool, and have told me they support it–as long as we move it to a different spot every 72 hours.”
He made this nifty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it. The materials, including two locks on the front door and sturdy wheels for moving it around, cost him about $500.
“I’ve met so many homeless people, good people,” Elvis said in an email. “Since I built Smokie’s, I’ve had several people ask me to make them a tiny home and it’s turned into much more than just the one house I wanted to build.”
Although he runs an online retail store that sells EDM apparel, he decided to launch an ambitious project to fund more shelters. He plans to get lighter and cheaper materials—without sacrificing the strength of the house—for the next round. Rick Sassen, a branch manager, kindly donated the roof shingles and cedar siding for Smokie’s house, final items Elvis couldn’t afford on his own. Sassen has promised to work out a deal on future building materials for the same cause.
24. What is the meaning of the underlined words “struck up” in paragraph 2?
A. Kept on B. Established C. Gave out D. Accomplished
25. Where did Elvis’s inspiration to build a tiny house come from?
A. A news report B. A science book
C. A fiction story D. An advertisement
26. What is the main feature of the tiny house?
A. It is air-conditioned B. It is very light
C. It can move around D. It has no roof
27. What can be inferred about Elvis from the last paragraph?
A. He will get help from poor people
B. He earns his living by building houses
C. He plans to build stronger houses
D. He will help more homeless people
C
How do you get to Carnegie Hall(卡内基音乐厅)? “Practice, practice, practice” is the well-known answer. But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.
The Afghan Youth Orchestra(AYO)is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.
Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation. “Music for me is a language of peace,” Gulalai said. “It connects people.”
Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. “Music is my life,” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When music was banned, he couldn’t even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing. “I used to draw a piano,” he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. “Our dream came true,” he said. “It is everyone’s dream to play in Carnegie Hall”.
And he has more dreams. “ I have a dream to continue my education in America,” he explained. “I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.”
Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalia and Milad listen mostly to the kind of classical music they played to Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says she’s heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasn’t yet had a chance to listen to them.
Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet,” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”
Later during the performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall’s famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.
28. In the opinion of Gulalai, music __________.
A. makes people understand each other B. calms her down in the war
C. is a kind of violent language D. saves her from the killing at war
29. What is Milad’s final goal?
A. To play a real piano B. To be a teacher
C. To play in Carnegie Hall D. To be educated in America
30. According to the passage, _________.
A. classical music is not played in Afghanistan
B. Gulalia knows Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber well
C. the music Gulalai and Milad can hear is limited
D. Milad likes Jennifer Lopez and Shakira
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Traditional Afghan Music B. Young Musicians
C. A Better Performance D. A Peace in Music
D
The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at hone with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. And she’s been working through her teaching certifications for four years after obtaining an education degree from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, US.
Hipp has racked up $100,000 in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.
The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2014 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. For the first time since 1880, adults aged 18 to 34 became more likely to be living with a parent than to be living on their own. Before 2014, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple.
UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave.
The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that combine parents and children. “Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and guiders. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.”
Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, which doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “There’s no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases on things people spend money on related to household formation and child-rearing,” Hoffman explained. “But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don’t have a house expense or marriage. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values. But it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”
32. Why does Caitlin Hipp have to live at home with her parents?
A. Because she can’t afford to live on her own
B. Because she doesn’t want to live anywhere other than home
C. Because she wants to obtain more degrees
D. Because she wants to be an elementary school teacher
33. What can we learn about young adults aged 18 to 34 before 2014?
A. They didn’t have the freedom to arrange their living
B. They would rather live with their parents than live by themselves
C. They started to fly the nest as more jobs were provided
D. They preferred to live away from their parents
34. What conclusion can we draw from the report released by the Swiss company?
A. Children living with parents is becoming part of the culture
B. The majority of millennials refuse to get financial help from parents
C. Most millennials are building closer relationship with their parents
D. Young people tend to live at home because of fewer job opportunities
35. What’s Stuart Hoffman’s attitude towards this trend?
A. Indifferent B. Subjective C. Objective D. Negative

In the past years, more than 15 laughter clubs have been set up across the country. People of all ages go to release their stress with an hour group laughs. “People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh. 37 So they come,” said 40-year-old Jocelyne Le Moan. She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques.
Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle-aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day. Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh” and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak” to each other in different ways. 38 . At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation, when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths.
“I love it. It’s an experience that has changed my life. Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,” said Romain Jourffroy, 24. “US President Obama should give it a try. He has lost his laugh,” she joked. 39
The physical benefits of laughter are already well-recognized. Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood-stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage(按摩)the digestive organs and strengthens the heart.
40 People believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you steadfast, focused and alert. Nothing can work faster or more efficiently to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh.
A. Laugh is only a short joy but we need it.
B. And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter.

One possible version:
Dear Leslie,
I’m ore than delighted to hear that you will come to China for your further study and I hope you can enjoy your stay here.
There are a variety of ways to communicate with others in our daily life, of which WeChat is the most popular one. Nowadays, a good number of Chinese, especially young people, are using WeChat to keep in touch with each other. The reason why I like it best is that it is very fast and convenient to send word files, messages, pictures, or even video programmes. More importantly, it is free to communicate with others on WeChat, which will surely save you a lot of money.
Hopeful my advice will be of some help to you and I’m looking forward to your early arrival.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
