• 2．I bet you use memes（表情包） when talking to your friends on WeChat or QQ.And among the file formats（文件格式） GIF is probably one of your favourites.
     A GIF is usually a short funny video only a few seconds that repeats.The GIF turned 34 this year，which makes it old in web history.That's even two years older than the World Wide Web.
     Ever since the GIF was created，it has long been overlooked（忽視）.It is smartphones and social media that have brought it back to our daily lives.
     According to David McIntosh from the GIF search service Tenor，the GIF does better job of showing people's feelings than short text messages do. "Things like 'lol'（laugh out loud） aren't very expressive（有表現(xiàn)力的） he told Wired.
     The GIF is also a very small file format.This helped it become popular among cellphones users.
     Because of its popularity，Oxford Dictionaries named "GIF" the word of the year in 2012.
     In 2016，F(xiàn)acebook users sent more than 13 billion GIFs，reported Sina News.There are even search services specifically （專門）for GIF，such as Tenor and Giphy.
     If you can't find anything you like there，just create your own GIF on apps like DECO and Giphy Cam.

• 3．There is song we all can sing March- of the Volunteers（義勇軍進(jìn)行曲）.It was composed in 1935 by Tian Han and Nie Er as the theme song of the movie Children of Trouble Time（風(fēng)云兒女）.It was taken as the national anthem（國歌）in 1949.
     We learn it at the beginning of primary school and sing it at every flag-raising ceremony（儀式）.Now，there is law to protect the song

     Moreover，the law requires Chinese to be serious when singing the song.We can neither joke about the song nor change the song's words or music.If someone breaks the law，he or she can be detained（拘留） for up to 5 days or held criminally liable（負(fù)刑事責(zé)任）.
     Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems.For example，US people should put the right hand over their hearts while singing the song.In Russia，the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and the end of broadcasting（節(jié)目播出）.

• 4．They look like common biscuits and don't taste bad，either.But if they are made with unusual things，like crickets（蟋蟀），do you still dare to try？
     Three students at Abertay University in Dundee，UK，are using ground-up（磨成粉的） crickets to make biscuits.They are trying to find more sustainable （可持續(xù)發(fā)展的） food sources to solve world hunger，reported Daily Mail.
     The students are using Thailand house crickets flour（粉末）.About 1，100 crickets can make 100 grams of flour.The cricket flour is then mixed with eggs，butter and wheat flour（全麥面粉）.Finally，it is baked to make biscuits
     Anja Siegharsleitner is leading the study.She said that insects are a lot more sustainable than other meats.
  Insects are easier to raise.They use less water and land，and produce less greenhouse gasses than cows and pigs.They also have more proteins （蛋白質(zhì)） than beef，chicken and pork.
     In fact，in a 2013 report，the United Nations called on more people to eat insects to beat world.Scientists have found more than 1，900 edible（可食用的）insects.Some of these include crickets，beetle（甲殼蟲），grasshoppers（螞蚱） and cicadas（蟬）.
     People may not want to eat a whole cricket，said Siegharsleitner.But if it's hidden away in flour or biscuits then they may be more likely to accept it.Cricket flour is already for sale on the market，she added.
     "If we are seeking to feed 9 billion people by 2050，then we have to change our eating behavior." She said.
  
  （1）Where are the students using ground-up crickets to make biscuits from？

  
  A．The United Nations.

  A．1，100.
  B．3，300.
  C．1，900.
  D．2，050.
  （4）Why did the United Nations ask more people to eat insects？

  
  A．They are easy to raise.
  B．They use less water and land.
  C．They produce less greenhouse gasses.
  D．They can help us fight against hunger.
  （5）What can we infer from the passage？

• 5．Chinese debate how much to buy
  China covers large areas and has a great population. （1）

  Recently，another difference between northerners and southerners became a hot one：the way they shop at markets.
   （2）

  It is normal for them to buy half a Chinese cabbage，two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However，one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. （3）

  
     Also，you can buy a very small amount of fruit，such as a single apple or pear，each time in the south. （4）

  But hardly do shop owners in the north offer such service.And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
     The difference could be due to（由于）the different climate.
     But the hot and wet weather in the south make southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day，or else the food may go bad.（5）

  
  
  A.Many northerners have the habit of stocking up（囤貨） on food，especially for the long winter.
  B.Shop owners even help you peel （削皮 ）and cut them.
  C.People from southern China say they always buy what they need for just one or two meals.
  D.Shop owners will still be happy with you.
  E.Instead，buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual for northerners.
  F.Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country.
