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 beautiful．C．Visiting places of interest becomes easy．D．Posting pictures on social media becomes easy．（3）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to？ A． The beauty of our planet．B．The tourism in the United States．C．The popularity of holiday photography．D．The technology of photography．（4）What is special about Antelope Slot Canyon Tours？ A． Its wide choices．B．Its photo﹣tourism．C．Its 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 TechnologyC．A Modern WinterD．Technology Makes Better Life.

But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night﹣as well as during the day, British﹣based researchers say. David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep. Dr Dominon, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night. He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behavior and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy." And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more________. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying 'You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls? '. During the breeding (繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep." Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise. However, some birds thrive( 兴 旺 ) in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic State University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators (天敌) fleeting to quieter areas.(1)According to Dr Dominoni's study, what causes robins to sing so much?________A. The breeding season.B. The light in modern life.C. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery..(2)What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?________A. The environment might be polluted.B. The birds' health might be damaged.C. The industry cost might be increased.D. The people's hearing might be affected..(3)What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5mean?________A. Active at night. B. Inactive at night. C. Active during the day. D. Inactive during the day..(4)Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?________A. Because there are fewer dangers.B. Because there is more food to eat.C. Because there is less light pollution.D. Because there are more places to take shelter..Multiple studies link music study to academic achievement. But what is it about serious music training that seems to correlate with outsize success in other fields? I put the question to top﹣flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past lives as musicians. The phenomenon extends beyond the math﹣music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that weaves together disparate ideas. The power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously. For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a "hidden language, " as Mr. Wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect disparate or even contradictory ideas. When he ran the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100 countries, often taking in local performances, which helped him understand "the culture of people, as distinct from their balance sheet." It is in that context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both are at heart modes of expression. Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton Associates, says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy; as he says, both "relate to pattern recognition, and some people extend these patterns across different senses." For Roger McNamee, whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known for its early investment in Facebook, "music and technology have converged, " he says. He became expert on Facebook by using it to promote his band, Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live﹣streaming its concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share "the almost desperate need to dive deep." This capacity to obsess seems to unite top performers in music and other fields. "I've always believed the reason I've gotten ahead is by outworking other people, " he says. It's a skill learned by "playing that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more time, " and it translates into "working on something over and over again, or double﹣checking or triple﹣checking." He adds, "There's nothing like music to teach you that eventually if you work hard enough, it does get better. You see the results." That's an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pursuit in decline in this country.(1)Music training can enhance all of the following abilities except________.A.handling the present with a long﹣range visionB.listening to different opinions patientlyC.thinking from other people's perspectiveD.identifying connection between different ideas.(2)Bruce Kovner sees a parallel between music and________.A. hedge fund B. patterns C. different senses D. mathematics.(3)By saying "music and technology have converged", Roger McNamee means________.A.technology has increased the channels by which music is promotedB.advanced technology makes sound better than beforeC.Facebook has become a platform for promoting music albumsD.musical techniques are directly used in managing business.(4)The underlined word "observation" in the last paragraph refers to________.A.the claim that music is the key to successB.the belief that results determine the value of musicC.the idea that hard work keeps getting you aheadD.the proposal that one should pursue music seriously.Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone﹣faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. "What could be causing everyone to act this way? " Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip a coin. Heads﹣the commander, and tails﹣the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, ________ to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution." The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re﹣dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!(1)What did the author's classmates think about his report?________A. Original and interesting. B. Funny and ridiculous. C. Original but boring. D. Funny but puzzling..(2)What caused the author's failure to finish the task?________A.He followed his grandfather's advice and Nipped a coin.B.He was unfamiliar with American history.C.He forgot his teacher's instruction.D.He didn't know why the leacher gave such a task..(3)The underlined word "burning" in Para. 3 probably means________A. annoyed B. ashamed C. ready D. eager.(4)In the end, the author turned things around________A.through his months' effortB.by redoing his taskC.by finding a chance to talk to the headmaster.

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. So I had an idea.64. What was Turere interested in when he was a child?A. Tricking the neighbors. B. Looking after cows.C. Playing with electronics. D. Making car parts65.

Turere’s invention made peace with lions.CPlaying video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today’s teenagers. 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. The industry is clearly thriving.What it takesBecoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games- it also takes a lot of hard work. Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours a day. "You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it", says ex-gamer GeorgeNot all fun and gamesIt can be a difficult job as well. 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. And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse, “But I’m just practicing for my future job!”68. How many professional players were there around the world in 2017?A. 130.000. B.

Being a pro gamer is a good choice for teenagers.D. Being a pro gamer is an easy way to make money.DEveryone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. 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. Kish started to move around using sonar.D. Kish is good at riding a bicycle in traffic.73. How does sonar work? Choose the right order.a. The sound waves reflect off surfaces.b.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
