The type of things we remember are different. Although we tend to remember good things in our lives, bad things have a way of sneaking up (悄悄接近) on us. One such thing I remember happened when I was 10 years old.

I decided to ride my bicycle over a near-by stream. I carefully planned the adventure, and asked my friends to go there and have a watch. This was going to be my moment! I started riding down the hill, picking up speed and then pulled up on the handlebars (自行车把手) at the precise moment and landed face-first into the muddy stream! That painful moment is one that I will never forget. As long as I live, I will remember the pain and embarrassment at that moment. When we do something stupid or thoughtless, it has a way of sticking with us. Fortunately, good momories have a way of over-riding the bad ones. I have memories that I gladly remember, like what happened today.

I had my first conversation with my son today. It was not anything profound. It was a simple connection between father and son. It was one of those bonding moments that you can’t plan or force. They just happen on their own. I was walking into the living room where my son sat in bed watching television attentively. Then he looked up at me and pointed to the television and babbled (含糊的说) something. I asked him if he was watching SpongeBob (海绵宝宝) and he nodded his head and said,“Yes”. It was at that moment that his eyes lit up and it was as if we both realized we had communicated. And how happy I was! Sure, at eighteen months, he probably did not realize what communication was like, but his joy at that moment was evident. It was a moment I will remember all my life.

Good or bad, memories can last a lifetime. As for an unpleasant memory, though we can’t forget it we can get lessons from it and it is like a mirror that will warn us against making such mistakes again. As for a good memory, we should try our best to enjoy it during our lifetime. Such moments are the treasures that we store up forever.

1.The author will always remember what happened when he was ten because he ________.

A．drew up a careful plan before taking a ride

B．made a fool of himself in face of his friends

C．hurt himself seriously while riding down the hill

D．succeeded in taking a big adventure over a stream

2.The underlined word “profound” in Paragraph 3 probably means   “          ”  .

A．needing much thought

B．simple and easy to solve

C．very funny or interesting

D．that often takes place

3.Why was the author so happy when hearing his son’s answer “YES”?

A．Because his son respected the author and was very understanding.

B．Because it was the fist time he communicated with his little son.

C．Because his little son didn’t make trouble and behaved quite well.

D．Because his son could understand the meaning of SpongeBob.

4.The author mainly tells us in the last paragraph that ________.

A．one’s memories can last all one’s lifetime.

B．we should forget the unpleasant memories.

C．good memories are the treasures of our life.

D．how we should deal with our memories.

People in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years, with an increasing number of old people living alone. Japan is on a fast track to “ultra-age” with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2019；it was 26.7 percent in 2017. On the other hand, the number of births in 2019 fell to its lowest (about 941,000) since records began in 1899.

Demand for care services for elderly people has increased. A shrinking (缩小) working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly. State-provided facilities for the elderly are not enough, which causes elderly people to turn to private ones but they are expensive.

The country will be short of 380,000 of health nurses by 2025. The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage. A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent. Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly.

Japan provides a case study for China, which is also faced with a fast aging population. 17.23 million babies were born in China in 2019, about 630,000 fewer than in 2018. People aged 60 accounted for 17.3 of China’s population in 2019. With a shortage of elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply, China may find it hard to deal with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens.

To meet the challenge, the Chinese government should make policy changes, which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider. China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action.

1.What do we learn about the old Japanese?

A.More and more old Japanese prefer to live on their own.

B.A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age.

C.Some old Japanese remain active with the help of robots.

D.Japanese aged 65 or above make up one third of its population.

2.What can we know about state-provided care facilities for the elderly in Japan?

A.They are expensive. B.They are inconvenient.

C.They are affordable. D.They are fashionable.

3.What do the Japanese do to deal with the shortage of health nurses?

A.They hire foreign health nurses.

B.They employ advanced robots.

C.They set up more nursing schools.

D.They train the elderly to tend themselves.

4.What is the main idea of the last two paragraph?

A.Japan has to take action to deal with the aging population.

B.Robots can’t provide emotional support to the elderly.

C.China is now faced with a fast aging population.

D.Japan’s aging population issue is a timely lesson for China.

Sports shoes that workout whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant(许可) time in front of the television have been invented in the UK.

The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.

The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And wanted to solve that with my design.”

Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.

Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.

Existing pedometers (计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into (诱骗,欺骗)recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”

1．According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.

A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer

B．deal with overweight among teenagers

C．enable children to resist the temptation of TV

D．prevent children from being tricked by TV programs

2．Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?

A．They regulate(控制) a child’s evening TV viewing time.

B．They determine a child’s daily pocket money.

C．They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

D．They contain information of the receiver.

3．What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?

A．The exact number of steps to be taken.

B．The precise number of hours spent on TV.

C．The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.

D．The way of changing steps into TV watching time.

4．Compared with other similar products, the new design ________.

A．makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat

B．counts the wearer’s steps through shaking

C．records the sudden movement of the wearer

D．sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver

5．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time

B．Smart Shoes Guarantee (担保,保证)More Exercise

C．Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise

D．Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

The “babies” tend to be on or near me, or crying, or both. I spend a fair amount of time trying to get William to sleep, to get Elliott to get involved in something that will actually keep him happy for a little while, or to get William to play on the floor for 10 minutes straight so that I can get something done. But, a lot of days, it seems like I'm not succeeding in any of those efforts.

So, yesterday, a friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook. This particular friend has a baby who is about a month younger than William. The picture was of the baby, who had made his way across the floor to the toys housed along the side of the room. I just kept looking at that picture and thinking that if only William had some different toys to play with, perhaps he would stay occupied a bit longer at a stretch. But William seems so bored with all of his toys! And I am so ready for him to be ready to play. In order to find a way to make him playing longer, I kept looking at that picture. Suddenly, I realized my sons need to play closer to me.

So I cleared off the cubby(围起来的)shelves in the playroom, and my husband and I moved it to the living room. We found all of the toys that would be safe for William and put them in the cubbies. Then, we pulled the play kitchen in.

William was so interested in what I was doing that he sat there and played and chewed on his toys while we moved furniture. When we were done, I moved him over closer to the cubbies and he got so excited that he didn't disturb for an hour, while I made dinner and cleaned up! Even Elliott played happily for a few hours. It was a dream come true! And I got to know that my lack of happy children was because of my desire for a toy—free living room.

1.The babies were unhappy and trapped the author because they_______.

A. fought with each other

B. were told not to play on the floor

C. were blamed for destroying property

D. were given a living room without a toy

2.The underlined sentence “And I am so ready for him to be ready to play. ” means that ______.

A. the author is determined to keep her son playing longer

B. the author is willing to play with her son

C. the author is prepared to teach her son to play

D. the author is tired of her son's naughty behavior

3.Why did the author move furniture and toys into the living room?

A. Because she wanted to sort out her house.

B. Because she wanted to throw the unnecessary items.

C. Because she wanted to have her sons closer to her.

D. Because she wanted to teach her sons to cook.

4.What was the author's dream?

A. She could keep the living room tidy.

B. Her sons could learn to stand by themselves.

C. Her sons could be interested in what she was doing.

D. She could do what she desired without interruption.
