Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作) and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plentyof stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden,since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. Itwas only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.(1).What seemed to be the TV directors' first reaction to the garden?A.They were excited.B.They were surprised.C.They were worried.D.They were uninterested.(2).What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew, faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.(3).What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the last paragraph?A.We got blisters on our hands.B.Our hard work was worthwhile.C.The garden would be famous.D.The project would be finished.(4).How did the author feel about the project?A.Annoyed.B.Curious.C.Proud.D.Regretful.3、Children who use screens for seven hours or more a day are showing signs that their braincortex（大脑皮层）is thinning prematurely（过早地）, according to a new major US study.The ongoing $300 million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and showsresults of the effects of technology on children. The aim of the study, called Adolescent BrainCognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional development andmental health. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours ofdaily screen time score lower on thinking and language tests.Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4, 500 children.The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural（神经中枢的）tissue that processesinformation from the physical world. It is critical for cognitive functions such as perception（直觉）, language, memory and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smartdevices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.Dr. Gaya Dowling, an NIH doctor working on the project, cautioned against drawing aconclusion because they aren’t completely sure it’s being caused by the increased use of modern technology. They won’t be able to draw a definitive outcome until they follow them over thecourse of several years.Dr. Dowling said: “It won’t be until we follow them over time that we will see if there areoutcomes that are associated with the differences that we’re seeing in this single snapshot.A 2014 study showed that there is a direct correlation between the thickness of the braincortex and IQ score. The cortex begins to thin after the age of five or six as part of the normalaging process.The findings showed that people with a significant increase in IQ did not have the expected cortical thinning and people with a significant decrease in IQ had exaggerated（夸张）cortical（皮质的）thinning.A major data release of the initial data is scheduled for early 2019.1. What belongs to the findings of the new major US study?A. Screen time can result in a smaller brain.B. The brain cortex gets thinner as we mature into old age.C. Too much exposure to screen can lead to a poorer health.D. Children who are interested in computer are academically poor.2. Why is Dr Gaya Dowling against drawing a conclusion?A. There are some doubts about their findings.B. He thinks that further study is needed.C. The number of the participants is not large enough.D. They should ask for the government’s permission.3. What is the finding of the 2014 study?A. The brain cortex has much to do with IQ score.B. The brain cortex’s thickness is determined by IQ.C. Different people have different cortical thinning.D. Aging is a natural process for creatures.4. What will probably happen when a person reaches the age of five or six?A. His IQ score will get higher and higher.B. He will be more addicted to modern technology.C. He will show more interest in modern technology.D. His brain cortex will become thinner and thinner.4、What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job?Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you the successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?Seventy-six percent of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.Even if you don't have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It's a valuable skill.But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents' income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Nothing is impossible.C. Hope for the best.D. No pains, no gains.2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 76% of the people think social relationship matters most.B. 41% of the people believe parents' income is most important.C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.3. From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to__________.A. stress the importance of educationB. challenge the traditional beliefC. make lots of social connectionsD. encourage people to work hard4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Way to SuccessB. Keep your Dream in MindC. A Wealthy and Smooth CareerD. A Survey on People's Dreams5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But there are as many different kinds of music as there are differentlanguages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types.Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages to the present (1500 to today) and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung — as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.Jazz developed in the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.Blues was originally black country music from the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. It is slow, usually sad music which is often sung by one person with a guitar.Rhythm and Blues (R&B) developed from the blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, eg. saxophones (萨克斯管), guitars, pianos, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well.Musicians in the 1950s developed rock ‘n’ roll from Rhythm and Blues and it became popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries.A lot of pop music comes from rock ‘n’ roll.Pop music developed from rock ‘ n’ roll in America and Britain in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial (商业的) music, which we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”.

D．By analysis and reasons.27．What is the text mainly about?A．How music developed in America.B．How music spread around the world.C．Music — an international language.D．Six types of music and their history.CWhen I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.28．Why was the dog excited about the car ride?A．It thought of moving with its master.B．It hoped to be adopted（收养）by another family.C．It was longing for the life at the poundD．It was happy about its master's decision.29．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________.A．the dog had done many bad things B．the dog would be given less careC．the master's decision upset the dog D．the master left the dog with regret 30．Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A．It felt disappointed with its master. B．It continued to love its former owner.C．It did not trust humans any more. D．It was excited about the pound. 31．What is the theme of the story?A．Be ready for changes. B．Never expect too much.C．Never complain about your life. D．Be faithful to those who love you.DEven for a first-time visitor to China, it is impossible to ignore the popularity of Quick-Response (QR) codes. These square-shaped black-and-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or make payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller print—out size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, many of which are available online for free. Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customize the design of the codes according to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (动态的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users toedit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed. Plus, don’t limit your QR code to one mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader.A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes. Due to its easy access, criminals can steal simply by replacing the QR codes with their own, routing cash into their own bank accounts. Hence, we should all become more conscious towards virtual money transactions through QR codes and participate in additional security measures.32．Which of the following is NOT a function of QR codes?A．Data storage.B．Scanning reader.C．Social networking.D．Mobile payment.33．Why is barcode mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To introduce the main topic.B．To show the author’s attitude.C．To highlight the features of QR codes.D．To add some background knowledge.34．Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 4? A．Threat. B．Weakness.C．Difficulty. D．Simplicity.35．Which is true about QR codes according to the text?A．They were first used in China.B．The generators charge the users a lot.C．Data editing is possible in printed QR codes.D．More scanning devices are available in reading QR codes.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After graduating in 1944, she went to the all-female Huntingdon College in Montgomery. Lee stood apart from the other students. She could have cared more about fashion, make-up, or dating. Instead, she focused on studies and writing. Transferring (转学) to the University of Alabama, Lee was known for being a loner and an individualist. Before her final year in the University of Alabama, Lee dropped out to become a writer. She moved to New York City where her childhood friend Truman was already a famous writer. While there, she worked on her first book —To Kill a Mockingbird. It won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was made into an Academy Award winning movie the following year.To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of six-year- old Scout and her brother who live in the town of Maycomb, Alabama with their single father Atticus. Atticus is a lawyer who defends blacks. At a young age, Scout lives in the surroundings of the terrors of segregation (隔离政策).Then, in 2014, the first draft (草稿) of a new book — Go Set a Watchman was discovered among Lee’s papers. It is the story of 26-year-old Scout who returns to Maycomb to visit her father. She is shocked to find her father a changed man. He has turned into a segregationist!The story shows the mixed feelings Scout has about the changes that have taken place in her homeland and her father. A loner for most of her life, Lee stayed unmarried, preferring to lead a small town life. On February19,2016, Lee passed away at the age of 89.24．What can we learn about Lee? A．She became a professional writer at college.B．She had a gift for writing. C．She was persuaded to become a writer by Truman.D．She got interested in writing after getting a typewriter. 25．What did the characters Lee described in To Kill a Mockingbird show?A．Her love for a mockingbird. B．The effect of having a sick mother.C．Her experience of learning English literature.D．Her relationship with her father. 26．What happens to Scout’s father in Go Set a Watchman?A．He has mixed feelings towards the blacks.B．He straggles for the equal rights of the black people.C．He supports segregating blacks from whites.D．He fails to get used to the changes of his homeland. 27．What is the passage mainly about?A．How Lee fought against segregation.B．How Lee’s book made her world-famous.C．Lee’s whole life and her famous books.D．Lee lived a painful life all her life.CIt was late August when I got a call from a grandmother. She lives in Seeley Lake, Montana, and she has heard we have air purifiers (净化器) with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air-cleaners that can help with smoke. She needs one for the baby’s room. I explained we didn’t have any and told her how to purchase one.She coughed and went silent with disappointment before asking how much they cost. Almost every person I talk to in Seeley Lake has this cough. “The family doesn’t have much money,” she said, butshe promised to order a filter for the child. Small filters—ones that can clean a bedroom of up to 75 square feet—cost about $70 each.The next day, the wildfire that had been burning for weeks in the Lolo National Forest, northeast of tow n, moved closer to the woman’s neighborhood, and the county sheriff’s office evacuated (疏散) the area. I wondered whether the air-cleaner would be there when the family returned home. I knew the smoke would be.As an air-quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana, my job is to understand air pollution, control it as much as possible, and help people protect themselves from its effects. I focus on smoke management: issuing permits for outdoor burns and updating residents about what to expect from the smoke when wildfires send it our way.Never had we seen so many wildfires so close to home for so many weeks. There are six classes on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index (指数): good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy, and dangerous. Seeley Lake’s air reached dangerous class in 18 days last summer.Last year was troubled by wildfires around the country. The fires that struck Northern California alone killed 44 people and caused more than $9 billion in damage. But this isn’t just a recent problem, nor is it limited to the West. Wildfires hit 49 states in 2017, including a swath from Florida to Virginia. More than 9 million acres burned nationwide, compared with the yearly average of 6.5 million acres.28．Why did the grandmother make a call to the author?A．To prevent the wildfire. B．To help her make a move. C．To ask for an air purifier. D．To get information about air pollution.29．How did the woman feel about the author’s reply?A ．Angry.B ．Hopeful.C ．Excited.D ．Disappointed. 30．What’s the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 5? A ．To add some background information.B ．To summarize the previous paragraphs.C ．To introduce a new topic for discussion.D ．To make the readers realize the situation.31．Compared with the yearly average, the burned acres nationwide in 2017 rose by ________. A ．about 49% B ．about 38% C ．about 72%D ．about 52% DThe City of Christchurch, New Zealand was struck by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake on the earlymorningofSaturday,September 4, 2010.No tsunami alert was reported. The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key,flew to the affected area to inspect and assess the situation of thedamaged city. The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages.Basedfromhisassessment on what he saw in the area, it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars or US$1.4 billion for reconstruction.“An absolute miracle that no one died ，” Prime Minister John Key said. Two were seriously injured from this quake and thousands of local residents were awakened after being shaken at 4:35 a.m. of that Saturday.There were people trapped inside the damaged buildings but fortunately none were reported dead from the rubble of the damaged buildings.“We'reallfeelingscared —we've just had some significant aftershocks ，” a survivor told TV One News. “Tonight we're just people in the face of a massive natural disaster,trying to help each other and we're grateful we haven't lost a life.”GNS Science reported 29 aftershocks within the 14 hours after the quake, with strength from magnitude 3.7 to 5.4.New_Zealand_is_no_stranger _to_earthquakes.Thecountryexperiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year —but only about 150 are felt by people.“Many buildings here were built with earthquake protection measures. However, in most cities in developing countries, people build how they want to and there're no building controls to force them to build to a higher standard that's safe ，” Andrew Charleson, an architecture professor at Victoria University of Wellington told CNN.32．How many people were killed in the New Zealand earthquake on September 4, 2010?

AWhat’s it like to become a music star with millions of fans? These young artists know the feeling. Over the course of their short careers, they have attracted the attention of the biggest stars in the world and taken home prizes from major shows. For now they’re just kids that everyone in music is watching. Check out the next generation of stars below.FIFTH HARMONY The 1990s was a brilliant period for girl groups. But after that few groups have been able to make much of an influence. This doesn’t seem to bother Fifth Harmony, who landed the biggest hit of their career in 2016 with“Work from Home ”, a pop song that encourages everyone to ask for leave more often. When it climbed to No.4 on the Billboard Hot100, it was the first time that a girl group此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号had entered the top 5 in the past ten years.LORDEIt’s been four years since the release of Born Heroine ---- the hot selling CD that made her a16-year-old global sensation and the spokeswoman for a new generation of smart, strong-minded, creative female pop artists. She contributed to The Hunger Games soundtrack (插曲) in 2014, and for this time setting foot in Hollywood production also brought her more opportunities in her following career.TROYE SIV ANYou might recognize the rising star Troye Sivan from YouTube, where he’s been uploading videos since he was 12 and his channel already has millions of fans, or from the movies, where he played the role of young Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.21．What does the underlined “it” mean in the second paragraph?

Trying to helpinjured, displaced or sick creaturescan be heartbreaking; survival isnever certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B. Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their home s.25.Why was the author called to Mutt ontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure a young owl.26.What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C.A recording. D.Its parents.27.How would the author feel abou t the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CAs data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.In a study describing thetechnology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch ”four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A. To reduce pressure on keys.B. To improve accuracy in typingC. To replace the password system.D. To cut the cost of e-space protection. 29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible ？A. Computers are much easier to operate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C. Typing patterns varyfrom person to person.D. Data security measures are guaranteed.30. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard ？A. It'll be environment-friendly.C. It'll be made of plastics. 31. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebookC. A novel.D. Amagazine.DMarvin Minsky is often called the Father of Artificial Intelligence. His work helped inspire the creation of the personal computer and the Internet.Artificial IntelligenceBefore Minsky, computers weremorelikecalculators,performing maths operations at speeds much faster than humans. Minsky was the first to say that computers can one day be as intelligent as human beings. He was so convinced about this, that in1919, he and his friend John McCarthy invented the term “Artificial Intelligence” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Minsky wrote a book called Perceptrons, describing a particular type of “artificial neural (神经的) network”．Neural networks have made a comeback in a new field of Computer Science called Deep Learning. Deep Learning is used to recognize things and people in pictures (as seen in Facebook and Google Photos), language translation (try Google Translate sometimes), and so on.Robotics, Microscopes and Virtual RealityHow many of you have done Robotics at school and loved it? You have Minsky to thank again, for his work on Robotics. One of his biggest inventions was the confocal scanning microscope, an instrument that is still widely used today in medical and scientific research.Minsky was really futuristic. He created one of the first head-mounted graphics displays (头戴式图形显示), which gave rise to the exciting area of Virtual Reality. This year, Facebook is releasing Oculus, a virtual reality headset, which you can use to play games with your friends in a 3-D environment.Minsky's major prediction that computers will one day become as intelligent as humans is now called the Theory of Singularity.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Minsky himself invented the term “Artificial Intelligence” in MIT.B．Minsky transformed computer into a machine more intelligent than human beings.C．Apart from Information Technology, Minsky's invention is also used in medical field.D．Minsky invented a headset, with which players canplay games in a 3-D environment.33. Which is NOT the function of Deep Learning?A．Recognize people in Facebook.B．Spot items in Google Photos.C．Summarize main idea of a passage.D．Translate English into French.34. Which is NOT one of Minsky's characteristics according to the passage?A．Far-sighted.B．Creative.C．Pioneering.D．Considerate.35. In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?A．Technology.B．Travel.C．Environment. D．Life.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作) and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plentyof stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.(1).What seemed to be the TV directors' first reaction to the garden?A.They were excited.B.They were surprised.C.They were worried.D.They were uninterested.(2).What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew, faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.(3).What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the last paragraph?A.We got blisters on our hands.B.Our hard work was worthwhile.C.The garden would be famous.D.The project would be finished.(4).How did the author feel about the project?A.Annoyed.B.Curious.C.Proud.D.Regretful.3、Children who use screens for seven hours or more a day are showing signs that their brain cortex（大脑皮层）is thinning prematurely（过早地）, according to a new major US study.The ongoing $300 million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and shows results of the effects of technology on children. The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional development and mental health. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours of daily screen time score lower on thinking and language tests.Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4, 500 children.The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural（神经中枢的）tissue that processes information from the physical world. It is critical for cognitive functions such as perception（直觉）, language, memory and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smart devices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.Dr. Gaya Dowling, an NIH doctor working on the project, cautioned against drawing a conclusion because they aren’t completely sure it’s being caused by the increased use of modern technology. They won’t be able to draw a definitive outcome until they follow them over the course of several years.Dr. Dowling said: “It won’t be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we’re seeing in this single snapshot.”A 2014 study showed that there is a direct correlation between the thickness of the brain cortex and IQ score. The cortex begins to thin after the age of five or six as part of the normal aging process.The findings showed that people with a significant increase in IQ did not have the expected cortical thinning and people with a significant decrease in IQ had exaggerated（夸张）cortical（皮质的）thinning.A major data release of the initial data is scheduled for early 2019.1. What belongs to the findings of the new major US study?A. Screen time can result in a smaller brain.B. The brain cortex gets thinner as we mature into old age.C. Too much exposure to screen can lead to a poorer health.D. Children who are interested in computer are academically poor.2. Why is Dr Gaya Dowling against drawing a conclusion?A. There are some doubts about their findings.B. He thinks that further study is needed.C. The number of the participants is not large enough.D. They should ask for the government’s permission.3. What is the finding of the 2014 study?A. The brain cortex has much to do with IQ score.B. The brain cortex’s thickness is determined by IQ.C. Different people have different cortical thinning.D. Aging is a natural process for creatures.4. What will probably happen when a person reaches the age of five or six?A. His IQ score will get higher and higher.B. He will be more addicted to modern technology.C. He will show more interest in modern technology.D. His brain cortex will become thinner and thinner.4、What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job?Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you the successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?Seventy-six percent of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.Even if you don't have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encouragestaff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It's a valuable skill.But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents' income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Nothing is impossible.C. Hope for the best.D. No pains, no gains.2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 76% of the people think social relationship matters most.B. 41% of the people believe parents' income is most important.C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.3. From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to__________.A. stress the importance of educationB. challenge the traditional beliefC. make lots of social connectionsD. encourage people to work hard4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Way to SuccessB. Keep your Dream in MindC. A Wealthy and Smooth CareerD. A Survey on People's Dreams5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She became very close to her father.The naughty Lee loved reading, and would make up stories with Truman Capote, her neighbour who was two years older than her. Seeing his daughter’s imagination, Lee’s father gave her a typewriter.In high school, Lee developed an interest in English literature. After graduating in 1944, she went to the all-female Huntingdon College in Montgomery. Lee stood apart from the other students. She could have cared more about fashion, make-up, or dating. Instead, she focused on studies and writing. Transferring (转学) to the University of Alabama, Lee was known for being a loner and an individualist. Before her final year in the University of Alabama, Lee dropped out to become a writer. She moved to New York City where her childhood friend Truman was already a famous writer. While there, she worked on her first book — To Kill a Mockingbird. It won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was made into an Academy Award winning movie the following year.To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of six-year- old Scout and her brother who live in the town of Maycomb, Alabama with their single father Atticus. Atticus is a lawyer who defends blacks. At a young age, Scout lives in the surroundings of the terrors of segregation (隔离政策).Then, in 2014, the first draft (草稿) of a new book —Go Set a Watchman was discovered among Lee’s papers.

She lives in Seeley Lake, Montana, and she has heard we have air purifiers (净化器) with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air-cleaners that can help with smoke. She needs one for the baby’s room. I explained we didn’t have any and told her how to purchase one.She coughed and went silent with disappointment before asking how much they cost. Almost every person I talk to in Seeley Lake has this cough. “The family doesn’t have much money,” she said, but she promised to order a filter for the child. Small filters—ones that can clean a bedroom of up to 75 square feet—cost about $70 each.The next day, the wildfire that had been burning for weeks in the Lolo National Forest, northeast of town, moved closer to the woman’s neighborhood, and the county sheriff’s office evacuated (疏散) the area. I wondered whether the air-cleaner would be there when the family returned home. I knew the smoke would be.As an air-quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana, my job is to understand air pollution, control it as much as possible, and help people protect themselves from its effects. I focus on smoke management: issuing permits for outdoor burns and updating residents about what to expect from the smoke when wildfires send it our way.Never had we seen so many wildfires so close to home for so many weeks. There are six classes on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index (指数): good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy, and dangerous. Seeley Lake’s air reached dangerous class in 18 days last summer.Last year was troubled by wildfires around the country. The fires that struck Northern California alone killed 44 people and cau sed more than $9 billion in damage. But this isn’t just a recent problem, nor is it limited to the West. Wildfires hit 49 states in 2017, including a swath from Florida to Virginia. More than 9 million acres burned nationwide, compared with the yearly average of 6.5 million acres.28．Why did the grandmother make a call to the author?A．To prevent the wildfire.B．To help her make a move.C．To ask for an air purifier.D．To get information about air pollution.29．How did the woman feel about the author’s reply?A．Angry.

The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key, flew to the affected area to inspect and assess the situation of the damaged city. The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages. Based from his assessment on what he saw in the area, it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars or US$1.4 billion for reconstruction.“An absolute miracle that no one died，” Prime Minister John Key said. Two were seriously injured from this quake and thousands of local residents were awakened after being shaken at 4:35 a.m. of that Saturday.There were people trapped inside the damaged buildings but fortunately none were reported dead from the rubble of the damaged buildings.“We're all feeling scared—we've just had some significant aftershocks，” a survivor told TV One News. “Tonight we're just people in the face of a massive natu ral disaster, trying to help each other and we're grateful we haven't lost a life.”GNS Science reported 29 aftershocks within the 14 hours after the quake, with strength from magnitude 3.7 to 5.4.New_Zealand_is_no_stranger_to_earthquakes. The country experiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year—but only about 150 are felt by people.“Many buildings here were built with earthquake protection measures. However, in most cities in developing countries, people build how they want to and there're no building controls to force them to build to a higher standard that's safe，” Andrew Charleson, an architecture professor at Victoria University of Wellington told CNN.32．How many people were killed in the New Zealand earthquake on September 4, 2010?A．250,000.

B Music is a language which speaks to everyone — from the day we are born we hear music of some kind of our lives. But there are as many different kinds of music as there are different languages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages to the present (1500 to today) and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung — as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.Jazz developed in the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.Blues was originally black country music from the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. It is slow, usually sad music which is often sung by one person with a guitar.Rhythm and Blues (R&B) developed from the blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, eg. saxophones (萨克斯管), guitars, pianos, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well.Musicians in the 1950s developed rock ‘n’ roll from Rhythm and Blues and it became popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries. A lot of pop music comes from rock ‘n’ roll.Pop music developed from rock ‘ n’ roll in America and Britain in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial (商业的) music, which we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”.

Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home.I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they wav ed me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.28．Why was the dog excited about the car ride?A．It thought of moving with its master.B．It hoped to be adopted（收养）by another family.C．It was longing for the life at the poundD．It was happy about its master's decision.29．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________.A．the dog had done many bad things B．the dog would be given less careC．the master's decision upset the dog D．the master left the dog with regret30．Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A．It felt disappointed with its master.

These square-shaped black-and-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or make payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller print—out size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, many of which are available online for free. Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customize the design of the codes according to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (动态的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users to edit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed. Plus, don’t limit your QR code to one mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader. A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes. Due to its easy access, criminals can steal simply by replacing the QR codes with their own, routing cash into their own bank accounts. Hence, we should all become more conscious towards virtual money transactions through QR codes and participate in additional security measures.32．Which of the following is NOT a function of QR codes?A．Data storage.B．Scanning reader.C．Social networking. D．Mobile payment.33．Why is barcode mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To introduce the main topic.B．To show the author’s attitude.C．To highlight the features of QR codes.D．To add some background knowledge.34．Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 4?A．Threat. B．Weakness.C．Difficulty. D．Simplicity.35．Which is true about QR codes according to the text?A．They were first used in China.B．The generators charge the users a lot.C．Data editing is possible in printed QR codes.D．More scanning devices are available in reading QR codes.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
