Many years ago, if you wanted to hear a special song, you had to either go out and buy a CD or turn on the radio and hope for the best. Things have changed a lot over the last ten years. Now, you can find any song you want online. But if you think that the radio is out of date, think again. The truth is that it’s doing just fine.
According to the Pew Survey Center, the number of radio listeners is still high. In 2023, 82 percent of Chinese aged 12 and older listened to the radio every week.
Why is the radio still so popular One reason is that you can use it anytime and anywhere you want, even when there is no Internet. Back in the 1980s to 2000s, most of the Chinese people listened to the radio at home or work place. And now we listen to it through phone apps or in the car.
Radio is also easy to use Although a great number of people don’t know how to use a music app, but everyone knows how to use a radio. One doesn’t have to sign up (注册) to enjoy music.
Surely, listening to the radio doesn’t give you as much freedom as using a music app. But isn’t it an enjoyable surprise to find out a new favorite from a DJ’s choice Although freedom of choice is nice, it’s clear that most people don’t always think it’s the most important thing.
All in all, millions of people are not ready to let the radio become a thing of the past.

27. How many reasons why people still like radios are mentioned
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4.
28. Where did people listen to the radio back in the 1980s to 2000s
A. Anywhere they want.
B. At home or work place.
C In their cars or everywhere on the phone apps
29. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A. Using a music app gives you more freedom than listening to the radio.
B. The number of radio listeners are much higher than it was ten years ago.
C. You have to sign up before you use a radio.
30. What is the best title of the passage
A. The History of Radios B. People Love Radios C. Radios Aren’t out of Date
C

Before the test, scientists showed the sheep pictures of four famous people, including the US president Joe Biden and British actress Emma Watson. Then the sheep went into a room with screens.

A young businessman, James, was often unhappy because of the endless challenges (挑战) he faced.
One day, an old man with 100 camels (骆驼) came to the village. James went to see him and said, “Though I’m successful, I have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please tell me how to make them go away.” The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me ” James agreed (同意). The old man asked him to take care of the camels for the night and make sure they all sat down and rested before he went to sleep.
The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if some sat on one side, others would stand on the other side.” The old man said, “That’s true. Some camels sat down by themselves, while others needed effort (努力), and many didn’t sit even with a lot of effort. If you’d come back later, you’d see that some of the camels, even though they didn’t sit at first, finally sat down on their own.”
James agreed. The old man went on “Problems are just like camels—some problems get solved (解决) by themselves, some get solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you’ve tried your best. I save such problems to time. At the right time, these problems themselves will come to an end.”
James understood and it changed how he saw life’s challenges.

例文
Dear Manny,
I’ve been in Chengdu for a year, and it’s been amazing! My best friend here is Alex. We both enjoy outdoor sports and have a similar sense of humor. Alex is tall and has curly hair, while I’m shorter and have straight hair. He’s outgoing and friendly, just like me.
In my free time, I often go hiking because it’s relaxing and gives me a chance to explore nature. My favorite place is the People’s Park because it is the most peaceful spot in the city and offers delicious local snacks.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best wishes,
Sean
