head．Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was too old to learn something new．I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn． Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer．Now，she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community（ 社区 ），using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help． When she was in her sixties，one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life，and now she was going to make a CD of her own．My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn．You can imagine my surprise and delight． To produce the CD，she had a lot of things to learn．It was not just sitting at the piano and playing．She had to research the songs，learn about copyright（版权），and learn about marketing．It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn．And finally she made it． Now she has her own CD﹣Mixed Blessings． Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated．They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life．The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old．On the contrary，you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can． （1）When Mary said she was too old to learn， the author ．A．became disappointed with herB．felt sad and decided to help herC．did not agree with herD．thought what she had said was true（2）Why did Mary call the author one day in her sixties？ A．To ask him for some help．B．To talk about her new CD．C．To ask him to make a CD．D．To tell him about her plan．（3）The author thought it for Mary to make a CD．A．impossibleB． difficultC． unnecessaryD． interesting（4）What does the text mainly tell us？ A． We're never too old to learn．B．We should always learn new skills．C．Interest is the best teacher．D．Some people succeed for a reason．3．（8分）Photography（摄影） is a very popular art form． Anyone with a camera ﹣ or a mobile phone ﹣ can practice it．A picture communicates in a way that words often can't． As the photographer Destin Sparks put it， "Photography is the story I fail to put into words．" And there's no better chance to practice the art of photography than during our vacation time． Holiday photos have been a part of the culture of travelers for a long time．For decades， vacationers have made sure they've packed a camera along with bathing suits， Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses． A camera is an important holiday item．But over the last 10 years，photography has become much more popular．It's easy to capture （ 捕捉 ） still and moving pictures of places of interest， and it's also easy to show off these pictures on social media．Armed with their smart phones，tourists， this year more than ever， are capturing the beauty of our planet． Of course，travel companies have caught on to this． Trekksoft has an example of photo﹣tourism from the United States， a land with a vast choice of beautiful locations． Antelope Slot Canyon Tours in Arizona specializes in tours of the state's famous canyons（峡谷）， which gives photographers the chance to capture them on camera． Most of the tourists are able to make beautiful images with just their mobile phones． Still， help is on hand from the tour guide for those who aren't great at using their cameras．These tour guides have taken a course in photography in case the skills they've learned would help their customers． （1）According to the writer， which of the following can be the best time to practice photography？ A． The time when people are traveling around．B．The time when people have no words to say．C．The time when you have a tour guide to help you．D．The time when you have a mobile phone with you．（2）Why has photography become much more popular in the past ten years？ A． More and more people have cameras．B．The planet is becoming more

best tour guide．D．Its great photography course．4．（8分）In my memory，winters always used to be really unpleasant． You had to dress like a bear just to keep warm when you went outside．You were often cold，wet and no more than one step away from the thin ice on the lake．If you worked over time and went home in the dark，you would arrive home to an ice﹣cold house． And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting． Fortunately， things don't have to be so challenging any more．Technology，engineering and design have developed，giving us new solutions to old problems．It means dealing with winter needn't be like skating on thin ice． With a smart thermostat（恒温器）， our homes can be toasty when we need them to be． Many models go with smartphone APPs that allow you to regulate temperature from a distance， so we can warm up the house before we arrive home． According to techradar．com， a large technology news and reviews website， Tado's model has a voice control function，while the Nest "learns" your habits and heats the house for you． Clothes have been given an upgrade，too．Electronic heated jackets and trousers heat up when you turn them on．What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter？ At the touch of a button，or through an APP on our phones，the clothes produce heat from materials placed inside．Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours． Finally， there is the headgear（头部装备） ﹣ Hats that have speakers which are included in the cloth using Bluetooth technology，so we can listen to our favourite music or，in some cases，have a phone call using the in﹣built microphone．All while keeping the head warm and avoiding coldness． For many， the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold．But using technology，life needn't freeze up．There's no reason why winter can't be really，really cool． （1）What does paragraph 1mainly tell us about？ A．Winters are very cold in the author's hometown．B．The author's feeling about winter．C．There was heating in people's houses in the past．D．The author's impression of the winter in the past．（2）What does the underlined word "toasty" mean in paragraph 3？ A．Relaxing．B． Comfortable．C． Cool．D． Hot．（3）What can we know according to the text？ A．Some models can set the temperature of the house before people come home．B．The Nest can only warm the house when you press the button．C．Jackets and trousers can be heated up by our phones．D．The heating of the clothes do not last longer than 12 hours．（4）Which can be the best title of this passage？ A．Winter Is ComingB．Development in Heating

Reading Comprehension.Directions ： There are five reading passages in this part.Each passage is questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A，B，one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.n Passage Four n People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn，and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.In a first language，the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally，so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.n A native speaker of Spanish，for example，will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese，for example.because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish，while Chinese is very different，so first language can affect learning a second language.The greater the differences between the second language and our first，the harder it will be for most people to learn.Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn，possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system，and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners.However，for Japanese speakers，who already use Chinese characters in their own language，learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.n Some people seem to learn languages easily，while others find it very difficult.Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role，as well as each learner’s motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally，they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.n No language is easy to learn well，though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge，but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end，it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.nAccording to the writer’s opinion，what is the most difficult language to learn in the world？A.Our first language.B.No such a language.C.The second language.D.Professionally used language.

The New York Civil Liberties Union (shortened as NYCLU) is disappointed in a new public Wi-Fi service. LinkNYC provides “super-fast, free” Internet connections to people throughout New York City, but as the NYCLU pointed out this week, it also retains the personal data of anyone who connects to the service. Even if you don’t live in New York City, the concerns are worth taking to heart as more urban centers roll out Wi-Fi services.“CityBridge, the company behind the LinkNYC kiosks that have begun replacing phone booths in Manhattan, retains a vast amount of information about users—often indefinitely—building a massive database that carries a risk of security breaches and unwarranted NYPD (New York Police Department) surveillance,” the NYCLU said Wednesday in a press release.The release mentions the recent trouble over Apple’s refusal to unlock an iPhone for the FBI. In a sense, the issues are similar: Should innocent people sacrifice privacy for the sake of security? You can imagine the argument. If a would-be terrorist is dumb enough to communicate via public Wi-Fi, shouldn’t the police be able to access that information if it helps stop a crime?Maybe, maybe not. In any case, the situations aren’t totally similar. IPhones are privately owned devices, and Apple argues that the FBI’s request would actually create more security risks for consumers. Public Wi-Fi, on the other hand, is just what it sounds like. One might reasonably expect that communications via such networks aren’t private.A representative for LinkNYC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post about the NYCLU’s complaints. For now, though, take this as a reminder that “free” doesn’t necessarily mean “no strings attached.” If you’re worried about the government accessing your data, you should refrain from using government-backed Wi-Fi.Maybe it won’t always be this way. “Internet access is not a choice, it’s a modern-life necessity,” Mariko Hirose, senior staff attorney at the NYCLU, said in the press release. “The city’s public Wi-Fi network should set the bar for privacy and security to help ensure that New Yorkers do not have to sacrifice their rights and freedoms to sign online.”1. Why is NYCLU disappointed with a new public Wi-Fi service in New York?A) Because it keeps the users’ personal information. B) Because it fails to offer fast and free Internet services.C) Because it will launch Wi-Fi services first in other cities.D) Because it will cooperate with NYPD in the future.2. Which of the following is true about the second paragraph?A) CityBridge has been building phone booths in Manhattan.B) CityBridge has kept a great amount of users’ data. C) Phone booths in Manhattan are leaking out users’ data.D) Phone booths in Manhattan are under the police surveillance.3. Which of the following is true about public Wi-Fi according to the passage?A) Public Wi-Fi serves users without any information verification.B) Communications via public Wi-Fi are not private. C) It’s avoidable for the government to access data of those Wi-Fi users.D) Free pubic Wi-Fi allows you to use Wi-Fi without attached conditions.4. What can we learn from Mariko Hirose?A) The need of public Wi-Fi is a tendency in modern life. B) New Yorkers are advised to avoid using public Wi-Fi.C) New Yorkers should cooperate with the local government.D) The city’s network should make regulations to prevent terrorists.5. What is the passage mainly about?A) Apple’s refusal to cooperate with the FBI.B) How to use free public Wi-Fi in New York.C) The security of public network in New York. D) How to use public Wi-Fi to prevent terrorists.
From good readingwe can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good bookmay absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget oursurroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatestpleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, andlessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose inreading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment andsatisfaction.With a good bookin our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed aretaken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companionsand friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good ofall lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either becausethey resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they presentunfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our humanfriends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never wearyus with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without anyfear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books arealways ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of themost valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel farfrom home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead variedlives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seeminglydull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place,a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bankaccount to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train totransport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Throughbooks we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climblofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross thescorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit thestudios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Parisboulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or thekindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole worldis ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences arealmost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasuresof art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all opento the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.1.Why is it thatwe sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A.

I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge(边缘) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya(肯尼亚). Since the age of nine. I have helped to look after my family’s cows. As a child, in my free time. I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices(仪器) for my neighbors.At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family’s farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solutionThe first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that that didn’t really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed (牛棚). So I didn’t give up. I continued.And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow(4稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions into thinking) that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they’ll come and they say,this thing is not moving here, it is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animals.So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch(手电筒), and that day the lions didn’t come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light.

But is it all fun and games?Big businessPro (professional) gaming is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful gamers can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads.

Stress is a big problem for gamers. Tiredness is another, and injuries(受伤) are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist(手腕) problems after years of pro gaming. Careers(生涯)are short, and many gamers retire (退休) before they are 30 and try to find another job.However, the bad points probably won’t change the dreams of many teenage gamers.

Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔塔) sounds with his tongue舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙幅), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.How does sonar work?“When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It’s like having a conversation with the environmentWhen you click, what do you see in your mind?"Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every directionWhat is it like riding a bike using sonar?“It’s exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second,, much more than I usually do.”Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone (骨头) as a kid.”How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?“Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn’t in the eyes, it’ s in the mind.”72. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Kish explains how sonar works.B. Kish teaches people how to use sonar.C.

They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce (减少) the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 76It’s easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons:77 You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.You may want to cut down on your "food miles"-the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 78Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers(化肥) and pesticides (农药) which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 79 You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more of the vitamins, minerals(矿物质) and protein(蛋白质) that keep you healthy.80 And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony(R E). Some food can grow well in pots, including lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage (排水) and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.Happy gardening!A. Best of all, you can grow your own! B. But where to grow your own is a problem. C. That’s not so good for you, or for the planet. D. Food that you grow yourself is always fresh. E. If you have a large garden, growing your own is easy. F. You can control what goes on and into the food you eat. G. So it’s better to eat more vegetables and fruit in our daily life. .

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.
