On their birthdays, people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday〞 or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.〞In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends.In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally.In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ell is 40 today!〞, put there by Dave’s friends. At about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive card containing a printed message from the Queen.24. What’s the main characteristic of children’s birthday cards?A.

Young people will get a car as the 16th birthday present in the US.D. British young men love to celebrate the 21st birthday.CDo cell phones cause cancer? No one knows for sure. Mobile phones have only been widely used for around 20 years, with the very first ones introduced just over 30 years ago. It’s too soon to tell just how harmful cell phones are.In February 2021, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recorded changes in brain glucose metabolism (葡萄糖代谢) during cell phone use. The study became the first to prove that cell phone use changes brain activity by monitoring 47 healthy volunteers seated and on the phone for 50 minutes. The volunteers’ brains were monitored by special scanners to measure glucose metabolism.Then in May 2021, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) added radiation from cell phones to its list of things that possibly cause cancer in humans. The IARC's research found that most cell phone use did not lead to more risk of glioma, a dangerous type of brain cancer, or meningioma, a more common, but typically not harmful cancer. However, the study did find enough evidence that using cell phones for long periods of time on the same side of the head could mean an increased risk of glioma.In a contrasting report published in July 2021, a British Institute of Cancer Research study found little evidence of cancer risk in 10 to 15 years of use. The study showed that there have been no increases in brain tumors (肿瘤) in several countries over the last 30 years since cell phones were introduced or even in the last 20 years since their use became more widespread.With no long-term research available yet, limiting exposure to cell phone radiation by texting more and talking less is recommended. Stay off the phone when you have a weak signal, as it will need more radiation to contact the tower. Phone use for children should also be limited because their brains absorb twice as much cell phone radiation.28.We can't be sure whether cell phones cause cancer because _______.A. there has been little research on the problem up to nowB. it's difficult to track the bad effects of cell phone radiationC. different studies has been arguing fiercely about this problemD. there has been little evidence of it given the short history of cell phones.29. What did the IARC find from their research?A. Radiation from the cell phone is certain to cause some brain cancers.B. Using cell phone for long periods of time could increase the risk of cancer.C. Cell phone use is more likely to cause a common cancer than a dangerous one.D. Staying away from cell phones with weak signal can reduce the risk of cancer.30. What is recommended to reduce the harm from cell phone use?A. Staying far away from the signal tower.B. Using cell phones when the signal is weak.C. Limiting children's exposure to cell phones.D. Talking more and texting less via cell phones.第二节 〔一共5小题,每一小题2分,满分是10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项里面有两项为多余选项。注意:涂卡时,如答题卡上没有E、F、G选项,请按如下方式填涂:选E涂AB;选F涂BC;选G涂CD。Difficult financial times don’t mean your giving shuts down. 31 There are so many ways to give back that won’t hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.1.
