四、阅读理解（共15小题，每题3分，共45分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Passage A
The Internet has changed our lives in many ways. One of the biggest changes is how we communicate with each other. Before the Internet, people mainly communicated through face-to-face conversations, phone calls, and letters. Today, we have email, social media, video calls, and instant messaging.
While these new forms of communication have many advantages, they also have some disadvantages. For example, people often spend so much time communicating online that they forget to talk to the people right next to them. Studies have shown that teenagers today spend an average of seven hours a day on their phones, which is more time than they spend sleeping.
Another problem is that online communication can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. When we communicate through text, we can't see the other person's facial expressions or hear their tone of voice. This means that a message that was meant to be a joke might be taken seriously, causing hurt feelings.
Despite these problems, the Internet has also brought people closer together in many ways. Families who live far apart can now see each other through video calls. People with similar interests can connect with each other through online communities. And during emergencies, the Internet can be a lifeline for people who need help.
The key is to find a balance. We should enjoy the benefits of online communication while also making time for face-to-face conversations with the people around us.

A. email and social media

Passage B
Wang Wei is a 35-year-old farmer from Yunnan Province. Three years ago, he decided to try selling his farm products online. At first, he didn't know anything about e-commerce. He couldn't even use a computer properly.
"My daughter taught me how to use a smartphone," Wang Wei said. "She showed me how to take photos, edit them, and post them online. It took me about two months to learn the basics."
Wang Wei started by selling wild mushrooms from the mountains near his village. He would wake up at 4 a.m. to collect mushrooms, then spend the afternoon taking photos and writing descriptions for his online store.
In the first month, he only sold about 500 yuan worth of products. But he didn't give up. He watched online tutorials about marketing and customer service. He learned to reply to customer questions quickly and package his products carefully.
Now, three years later, Wang Wei's online store earns about 20,000 yuan per month. He has also helped other farmers in his village sell their products online. "Many of my neighbors are older and don't know how to use the Internet," he said. "I help them sell their honey, tea, and dried fruits. We're all making more money than before."
Wang Wei's story shows that with determination and a willingness to learn, anyone can benefit from the digital economy.

Passage C
Have you ever noticed that some people can remember names, dates, and facts easily, while others struggle to remember what they had for breakfast? Scientists have been studying memory for many years, and they have discovered several ways to improve it.
First, get enough sleep. Research shows that sleep plays a crucial role in memory. During sleep, the brain processes and stores information from the day. Adults should aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. If you don't get enough sleep, you may find it hard to concentrate and remember things.
Second, exercise regularly. Physical exercise increases blood flow to the brain and helps create new brain cells. Even a 30-minute walk every day can improve your memory significantly.
Third, use memory techniques. One effective technique is called "chunking" — breaking large pieces of information into smaller, manageable parts. For example, instead of trying to remember the number 149217761945, break it into 1492, 1776, and 1945. Another technique is to create vivid mental images. The more unusual and colorful the image, the easier it is to remember.
Finally, stay socially active. Studies have found that people who maintain strong social connections have better memory as they age. Talking with friends, joining clubs, or volunteering can all help keep your brain sharp.
Remember, a good memory isn't something you're born with — it's something you can develop with practice and healthy habits.
46. According to the passage, how many hours of sleep should adults get per night?
A. 5 to 6 hours
B. 6 to 7 hours
C. 7 to 9 hours
D. 9 to 11 hours
47. What does the word "chunking" mean in the passage?
A. Repeating information many times
B. Breaking information into smaller parts
C. Writing information down
D. Reading information aloud
48. According to the passage, which of the following can help improve memory?
A. Watching TV for long hours
B. Staying socially active
C. Eating a lot of sugar
D. Studying late at night
49. What does the passage say about exercise and memory?
A. Exercise has no effect on memory.
B. Only intense exercise helps memory.
C. Even a 30-minute daily walk can improve memory.
D. Exercise only helps physical health, not memory.
50. What is the main message of the passage?
A. Some people are born with good memory and others are not.

C. Scientists still don't understand how memory works.
D. Only young people can improve their memory.
