• 12．Nowadays celebrities （名人） are more famous for their charm（魅力） and wealth than for their achievements，and this sets a bad example to young people.I partially agree with this statement due to several reasons.
     On the one hand，there are various reasons why people may argue that some celebrities are a bad example for young people.First of all，celebrities become popular due to their fancy，wealth and charming lifestyles instead of outstanding achievements so that teenagers envy and desire those lifestyles，which becomes a negative influence on the teenager.Another reason is that some celebrities are not only below the average in acting talents compared with others celebrities，but also showing something that is not useful to teenagers with a bright future.Finally，celebrities' hedonistic lifestyles negatively influence young people because this may cause young people to "enjoy their life" instead of hard work.
      On the other hand，the negatively influence arguments given above can be considered from the opposite angle.Firstly，movie or sports stars become celebrities through incredible（不可思議的） acts and outstanding performance，which plays an important role model and has a positive impact on a teenager.Secondly，if celebrities have strong determination and hard work to get a masterpiece of article creative，they would be recognized by the public and obtain great achievements.An example is that a director from an act is Amir Khan，who has become a world famous Hollywood celebrity through his inspirational and creative movies instead of his wealth or attractive personality.Finally，celebrities have creativity，innovation，and abilities that can inspire adolescents，even changing their life for good.
     In conclusion，although celebrities' charm and wealth may lead to negative example to young people，from my point of view，I whole-heartedly agree that some celebrities who have outstanding performance would have a positive impact on adolescents.
  
  （1）What is the probable meaning of the underlined word "hedonistic" in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Focusing on pleasure.
  B．Devoted to achievement.
  C．Busy and meaningful.
  D．Confident and proud.
  （2）How many reasons are mentioned for celebrities influencing young people in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．5.
  B．4.
  C．3.
  D．2.
  （3）How does the author mainly clarify（闡明） his argument（論據(jù)）？

  
  A．By providing examples.
  B．By making comparison.
  C．By analyzing data.
  D．By listing facts.

• 13．The International Mother Language Day is on February 21 and it was created by the United Nations to help preserve indigenous （土著的）languages around the world.
     Due to globalization，indigenous languages are increasingly under threat of extinction.Every two weeks a language disappears，taking with it an entire culture's heritage（遺產(chǎn)）and thus diminishing the world's cultural diversity.At least 43 percent of the estimated 6000 languages spoken in the world are endangered，only a few hundred are formally taught and used and fewer than 100 are used in the digital world，according to UNESCO.
     Like languages around the world，indigenous Australian languages are under increasing threat of extinction.The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies understands that in Australia，there were more than 250 indigenous Australian languages，including 800 dialects，or local variations（變化），at the time of European settlement in 1788.Today only about 13 indigenous Australian languages have enough young people speaking them for them to survive.
     Indigenous languages everywhere are much more than just a way of communicating.Yuin woman Anne Martin，educator and former national NAIDOC Committee Co-Chair，described indigenous languages as "the breath of life". "Indigenous languages are not just a means of communication，they express knowledge about everything：Law，geography，history，family and human relationships，philosophy，religion，anatomy，childcare，health，caring for country，astronomy，biology and food.Each language is associated with an area of land and has a deep spiritual significance，and it is through their own languages that indigenous nations maintain their connection with their ancestors，land and law，" she said in an interview published by La Trobe University.
     International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000.In 2019，the theme is："Indigenous languages matter for development，peace building and reconciliation（和解）".One of UNESCO's goals for that year's International Mother Language Day is to collect proverbs in as many of the world's indigenous languages as possible.The proverbs were compiled（收集） and the most appropriate ones published by the UN on its website and other publications.And the theme for International Mother Language Day 2020 is "Languages without borders".
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "diminishing " in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．decrease
  B．a(chǎn)dd
  C．create
  D．replace
  （2）What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The increasing number of indigenous languages.
  B．The development of indigenous languages.
  C．The endangered situation of indigenous languages.
  D．The popularity of indigenous languages.
  （3）What does Anne Martin think of indigenous languages？

  
  A．They are just used for communication with each other.
  B．They are loosely connected with their ancestors，land and law.
  C．They are very important for indigenous nations all over the world.
  D．They are about not only communication but knowledge about all fields.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．The Theme of International Mother Language Day.
  B．An Introduction of International Mother Language Day.
  C．The Protection of Indigenous Languages in the World.
  D．Indigenous Languages in the World are on the Decrease.

第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

• 14．Tips for Keeping Awake in Class If you want to keep awake during class，sleep the night before your class.Students who doze（打瞌睡）in class often missed sleep the night before.Getting enough sleep is your first line of defense when it comes to staying awake in class. （1）

  For most people，eight hours of sleep is enough to get through the day，but your body may require more.
     （2）

  This will train your body to know when it needs to be asleep and when it is time to wake up.Allow yourself time to relax before heading to bed by putting away your phone，homework，and other things that keep your mind active.Getting enough high-quality sleep can help you.
     Another way is to take a shower before class.（3）

  The warm water from your shower raises your body temperature.This also increases your heart rate so your blood travels around your body faster.Finally，it helps deliver oxygen to your important organs so your body can work at the best level of efficiency.
     （4）

  When your body is exposed to cold water，your blood will flow at a higher pressure，meaning that your circulation is even further increased.The cold water will also help wake you up because it will shock your body，forcing you to breathe more deeply.
     （5）

  And thus you will be more mentally sharp.
  
  A.Having a warm meal also works.
  B.This will increase your oxygen intake.
  C.Perform a series of movements before sleep.
  D.This helps you feel refreshed and awakens your senses.
  E.For some extra energy，finish your shower with cold water.
  F.Make sure to get some shut-eye if you have a class the next day.
  G.Keep a regular sleep schedule by going to bed at the same time each night.
