In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen.Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger.Maori culture is also alive and well At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions.Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins.The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life. They keep their cultural traditions alive, because they have passed and are passing them on to their children.43. When did the Maori first arrive in New Zealand?A. Around 11th century.B. Around 14th century.C. Around 16th century.D. Around 18th century.44. What happened to the Maori during the 19th century?A. They owned more land.B. They lost their language.C. They left New Zealand.D. They had a smaller population.45. How do the Maori keep their traditions alive? Check and choose the right answer.a．Increase the number of marae.b．Move to the center of New Zealand.c．Set up Maori radio and TV stations.d．Teach in the Maori language in many schools.e．Hold competitions in speaking, dancing and singing.A. bcdeB. abcdC. abdeD. acde46. What’s the theme of the passage?A. Art.B. Culture.C. Travel.D. Technology.47. What would be the best structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. DIn October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.48. How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?A. By giving an example.B. By listing numbers.C. By telling the differences.D. By asking a question.49. What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?A. They came from the same country.B. They won the lotteries in the same year.C. They were poor before winning the lotteries.D. They spent their money quickly and carelessly.50. What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Expensive.B. Funny.C. Surprising.D. Lucky.51. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Big money brings lasting happiness.B. People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.C. Reasonable spending makes people happy.D. The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.52. What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?A. To encourage readers to make big money.B. To advise people to stay away from lotteries.C. To show his opinion about money and happiness.D. To share some success stories about finding happiness.请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。Five Tips to Improve Your MemoryMost of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work?Research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins (蛋白质) improves memory. ___53___ Eating oily fish or dark chocolate (with over 70% cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your memory stronger.___54___ A 2011 study showed that regular exercise actually increases brain size.
