Most of what we see is beauty and nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the litter that some people throw out of their windows as they are driving on the rural roads. One of the few shortcomings to live in the remote areas is that public services, such as litter collection, are less available than those closer to the city.A helping ritual that I practice regularly with my two children is picking up litter in our surrounding area. We' ve become so accustomed to doing this that my daughters will often say to me in lovely voices,"There's some lier. Daddy, stop the car!"And if we have time, we will often pull over and pick it up. It may seem strange, but we actually enjoy it. We pick up liter in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up liter close to where we live. He smiled at me and said,"I saw you doing it, and it seemed like a good idea."Picking up liter is only one of an endless supply of possible helping rituals. You might like holding a door open for people, visiting lonely elderly people in nursing homes, or clearing snow off someone else's driveway. Think of something that seems effortless yet helpful. It's fun, personally rewarding, and sets a good example. Everyone wins.24. What does the author think of developing a helping ritual?A. It will be very easy.B. It will be very difficult.C. It helps us to be winners.D. It makes us feel good about ourselves.25. What do we know about the area where the writer lives in?A. It's in the centre of San Francisco.B. People can see beautiful scenery there.C. It's very easy to find litter collection.D. Few people drive on the rural road.26. How does the author support his own opinion?A. By sharing his own experience.B. By listing reasons for giving help.C. By explaining ways to be helpful.D. By making a comparison with others.27. What does the author mainly want to tell us?A. Parents are the best teachers to their children.B. Everyone should set good examples to others.C. Small kind acts make the world a better place.D. Protecting the environment will benefit all of us.CIn many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond(结成友好的关系).Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.28. ILC is intended to _______.A. build a typical senior living communityB. take good care of the childrenC. benefit both the children and the seniorsD. rid the seniors of loneliness29. From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _________.A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB. come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC30. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A. the benefits the seniors receiveB. the situation of the seniorsC. children’s companyD. the interaction between the children and the seniors31. The underlined words“ this unique facility” may refer to _________.A. a special buildingB. a typical familyC. a typical teaching programD. a special learning centerDThe unusual whistle language used as a means of communication by villagers in the remote and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.The language is a highly developed high-pitch system of whistling to communicate in rugged (崎岖的)areas where people mostly cannot see each other. It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 kilometers. Compared with other similar whistle languages in Spain’s Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.This unusual form of communication, which dates some 500 years ago, to the Ottoman Empire, was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparent to parent, from parent to child. Now, though, many of its most proficient speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging and becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good.“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats.” said Avni Kocek, head of the bird village, adding that despite setbacks because of technology, “bird language is still used by many of us. Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.”Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instill the practice in younger generations.32. What is the bird language’s advantage over other similar whistle languages?A. It is used as a means of communication.B. It is older and has a larger number of users.C. It can send more messages to farther places.D. It is a completely different system of whistling.33. What’s the biggest threat to the bird language?A. Other whistle languages are more effectively protected.B. The necessity to use it in everyday life is disappearing.C. Many of its most proficient speakers are growing old.D. Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.34. What’s the most effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language?A. It has become a subject at primary schools.B. Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month.C. Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area.D. All parents are required to transmit it to their children.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Preserving the Endangered Bird languageB. The story of a bird Language SpeakerC. Celebrating the Bird Language FestivalD.

Talk with native speakers in the flesh.BWhen a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical(道德的) judgments on their own — but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey.The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someone’s death was unavoidable. Respondents were asked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories.When the researchers analysed these answers, they found that the nations could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant(占支配地位的) religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consists of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example.The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country. They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan.People rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take into account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance.At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each year — but that people might focus more on events involving robots.Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up witha social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take.”24.Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars?A.Social values always change with the times.B.Moral choices vary between different cultures.C.Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak.D.Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death.25.The researchers conducted the study by _____.ing a massive online quiz worldwideparing different cultures and customs精品教育试卷习题文档2C.dividing the respondents into three groupsD.performing a series of controlled experiments26.According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hita pedestrian crossing the road illegally?A.Nigeria.B.Colombia.C.Finland.D.Indonesia.27.Barbara Wege would probably agree that _____.A.Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environmentB.Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attentionC.Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust in societyD.Car makers needn’t take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmasCSixty-four-year-old Pierre Deom has spent his entire life close to the woods and fields that he loves. Twice a year, his magazine, La Hulotte, focuses on an animal or plant native to the French countryside.The 100th edition was published in November. The magazine counts more than 150,000 subscribers in many countries, and is doing very well financially. Deom says it all began in January 1972, when he was teaching science in a one-room schoolhouse here. “It upset me how the forests and swamps were beginning to be ruined. The word ‘ecology’(生态学) didn’t really exist yet. Some friends and I wanted to call attention to the issue. So we said, let’s educate the kids. They’re ready to hear our message.” So he took a step into the unknown, planning to publish his nature journal.Deom does all the research and writing and the illustrations(插图) of the magazine by hand. He combines science and humor in his writing and drawing to describe the daily life and sufferings of his creatures. Animals you might overlook or consider dull are magically and vividly brought to life in La Hulotte. “I try to write about animals and plants that are easy to find because I want kids to put on boots, take a magnifying glass, go to the woods and fields to observe and be amazed by what they find,” Deom says.And it seems to work. Biologist Jerome Fournier began subscribing to La Hulotte when he was just eight years old. “For me it was the first contact with nature when I was a child. And maybe it’s the beginning for my life of scientist.I think so.”What’s amazing is its approach. The magazine has realistic drawings and also a little cast of cartoon creatures who comment on things and give a different views. You can read it as an adult or a child; it can be understood on two different levels. So scientists, regular people and children all get something out of it. “It’s extraordinary.” Fournier says, who works at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, where he says La Hulotte has a crazy following.28. What does the underlined word “subscribers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Readers.B. Editors.C. Sellers.D. Collectors.29. What’s the purpose of creating the magazine?A. To make a lot of money.B. To finish the task of teaching.C. To enlarge the areas of forests.D. To promote people’s awareness of ecology.30. Which words can best describe the magazine La Hulotte?A. Scientific and interesting.B. Magical and dull.C. Vivid and unreal.D. Hard to understand.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The magazine is a cartoon one.3B. Adults find the magazine too easy.C. Many scientists are the fans of the magazine.D. The magazine is not fit for regular people to read.DGold is one of the rarest materials on Earth and has always been considered a valuable and precious resource. It’s very likely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the world’s biggest buyers of gold jewellery. It’s even in our smartphones — they contain parts made from this expensive material.But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer: outer space.This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational waves(引力波) caused by the collision of neutron(中子) stars, reported Xinhua News Agency.The sight was witnessed at China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, China’s first X-ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery.Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before, this was the first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided. It’s believed that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.“The collision of neutron stars is like a very large gold factory in the universe,” Jin Zhiping, a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua.According to an article published by , scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasn’t until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.“The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time,” Hans Thomas Janka, a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release. “Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并) as sources.”Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist.Don’t expect to be showered in gold any time soon, however. The collision actually took place 130 million years ago, taking all that time for the event’s light to reach Earth.But at least if you want to see a piece of space up close, all you have to do is to look at the ring on your mom’s finger — or the smartphone in your pocket.32.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first two paragraphs?A.To emphasize the rareness of gold.B.To list some uses of gold in daily life.C.To explain the reasons for the popularity of gold.D.To interest readers about the source of gold.33.What would the collision of neutron stars lead to according to Xinhua?A.The creation of black holes.B.The death of the stars.C.The disappearance of gravitational waves.D.The creation of gold.34.What’s the text mainly about?A.China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station does research into gold.B.Collisions between two neutron stars result in gold.C.Collisions contribute to the discovery.D.Gold is considered a valuable and precious resource.35.What can we learn from the article?精品教育试卷习题文档4A.The amount of gold produced by the collision was very small.B.The collision was the largest reported in history.C.China played a big role in the new discovery.D.The collision took place 130 years ago.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Twice a year, his magazine, La Hulotte, focuses on an animal or plant native to the French countryside.The 100th edition was published in November. The magazine counts more than 150,000 subscribers in many countries, and is doing very well financially. Deom says it all began in January 1972, when he was teaching science in a one-room schoolhouse here. “It upset me how the forests and swamps were beginning to be ruined. The word ‘ecology’(生态学) didn’t really exist yet. Some friends and I wanted to call attention to the issue. So we said, let’s educate the kids. They’re ready to hear our message.” So he took a step in to the unknown, planning to publish his nature journal.Deom does all the research and writing and the illustrations(插图) of the magazine by hand. He combines science and humor in his writing and drawing to describe the daily life and sufferings of his creatures. Animals you might overlook or consider dull are magically and vividly brought to life in La Hulotte. “I try to write about animals and plants that are easy to find because I want kids to put on boots, take a magnifying glass, go to the woods and field s to observe and be amazed by what they find,” Deom says.And it seems to work. Biologist Jerome Fournier began subscribing to La Hulotte when he was just eight years old. “For me it was the first contact with nature when I was a child. And maybe it’s th e beginning for my life of scientist. I think so.”What’s amazing is its approach. The magazine has realistic drawings and also a little cast of cartoon creatures who comment on things and give a different views. You can read it as an adult or a child; it can be understood on two different levels. So scientists, regular people and children all get something out of it. “It’sextraordinary.” Fournier says, who works at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, where he says La Hulotte has a crazy following.28. W hat does the underlined word “subscribers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Readers.B. Editors.C. Sellers.D. Collectors.29. What’s the purpose of creating the magazine?A. To make a lot of money.B. To finish the task of teaching.C. To enlarge the areas of forests.D. To promote people’s awareness of ecology.30. Which words can best describe the magazine La Hulotte?A. Scientific and interesting.B. Magical and dull.C. Vivid and unreal.D. Hard to understand.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The magazine is a cartoon one.B. Adults find the magazine too easy.C. Many scientists are the fans of the magazine.D. The magazine is not fit for regular people to read.DGold is one of the rarest materials on Earth and has always been considered a valuable and precious resource. It’s very likely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the world’s biggest buyers of gold jewellery. It’s even in our smartphones — they contain parts made from this expensive material.But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer: outer space.This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational waves(引力波) caused by the collision of neutron(中子) stars, reported Xinhua News Agency.The sight was witnessed at China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, China’s first X-ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery.Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before, this was the first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided. It’s believed that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.“The collision of neutron s tars is like a very large gold factory in the universe,” Jin Zhiping, a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua.According to an article published by space.c-o/m, scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasn’t until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.“The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time,” Hans Thomas Janka, a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release. “Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并) as sources.”Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist.Don’t expect to be showered in gold any time soon, however. The collision actually took place 130 million years ago, taking all that time for the event’s light to reach Earth.But at least if you want to see a piece of space up close, all you have to do is to look at the ring on your mom’s finger — or the smartphone in your pocket.32.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first two paragraphs?A.To emphasize the rareness of gold.B.To list some uses of gold in daily life.C.To explain the reasons for the popularity of gold.D.To interest readers about the source of gold.33.What would the collision of neutron stars lead to according to Xinhua?A.The creation of black holes.B.The death of the stars.C.The disappearance of gravitational waves.D.The creation of gold.34.What’s the text mainly about?A.China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station does research into gold.B.Collisions between two neutron stars result in gold.C.Collisions contribute to the discovery.D.Gold is considered a valuable and precious resource.35.What can we learn from the article?A.The amount of gold produced by the collision was very small.B.The collision was the largest reported in history.C.China played a big role in the new discovery.D.The collision took place 130 years ago.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Then, flipping through a magazine, she saw a photo of an impoverished Haitian boy, skinny. “I thought, this kid has nothing,” Paige says.The image stayed with her, and she resolved to do something to help. “I decided I would use my talents to throw birthday parties for homeless kids,” Paige says. For the next four years, Paige and her husband, Colin, took time out from parenthood to visit shelters to determine how best to pull off the parties.Finally, in January 2012, Paige launched the Birthday Party Project, a nonprofit organization, and recruited friends and f amily to help decorate Dallas’s 75-occupant Family Gateway Shelter with balloons and streamers, celebrating the birthdays of 11 boys and girls, with 60 more homeless kids in attendance. “That first party was better than I could have ever imagined,” says Pa ige.Now Paige and her staff of three paid employees work with regional volunteers to plan monthly themed parties at 15 shelters across the country, some of which house abused or abandoned kids. Each child celebrating a birthday that month gets a $30 gift, a decorative place mat, and an individual cake or cupcake.One of Paige’s favorite parts of each party is when the kids make a wish and blow out the candles. “They rarely get a chance to dream big,” says Paige.Her daughter, Lizzie, now seven, often helps out at the parties. Paige says, “The one thing I’ve always wanted is for my kid to be generous.”24. What was it that made Paige want to help the homeless children?A. A flight from Dallas to Ohio.B. Her daughter’s birthday.C. The photo of a Haitian boy.D. Her talent for throwing parties.25. What does the underlined word “impoverished” mean?A. adorableB. poorC. talentedD. dead26. What can be learnt from the passage?A. A total of 75 full-time workers are employed by Paige at present.B. After unsuccessful attempts, Paige finally threw a wonderful party for the homeless kids.C. Kids can spend $30 to celebrate their birthday.D. Paige commits herself to the cause of helping the homeless kids.27. What kind of person do you think Paige is?A. Caring and sensitive.B. Competent and loyal.C. Kind and perseverant.D. Responsible and disciplined.CFinland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report of 156 nations.The report, r eleased Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year’s report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.“The top five cou ntries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report i n 2012,”co-editor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected.”Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category(including Mexico 24th overall, but10th in immigration).“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the l ocally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and we ll-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”.28. The US ranked ______ in 2017.A. 14B. 10C. 18D. 2229. What is the most significant finding of the report?A. That immigrants are different from residents in the country.B. That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.C. That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.D. That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.B. People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes to policy-making.C. The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.D. What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.31. What is the best title of the passage?A. World Happiness DayB. Happiness forever pursuitC. What’s your happiness ind ex(指数)?D. The 2018 World Happiness ReportDI have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania(罗马尼亚) was unique. When I was there as recalled, it was like being in a “Ja m es Bond” movie. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. Before he left, his mother told him, “As long as I write in pencil, don’t come back. When I write to you in pen, it’s safe to return.” But she never wrote in pen.My husband lived a poor life in Italy. He applied to go to America, but there was a limit in number and he was rejected. He was accepted by Canada, though, and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco. There he stayed illegally. He became a US citizen when we got married. By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the manners of a prince.With seven years’ experience in America, a US passport, and two children later, he felt it was safe to visit Romania. He hadn’t seen his mother, two sisters, and two brothers since he was sixteen. We flew to Munich, Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary. When we reached Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, his family was waiting outside his sister’s house to greet us. After a long time of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also hugged me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate, using only nouns, with no verbs. My Romanian improved, and the family’s stock of English words increased, but mostly I spoke in broken, New York-accented Romanian. The sisters loved their gifts of skirts and purses, the brothers loved the radios, and the children loved the candy. We made side trips to the Black Sea and enjoyed sightseeing in beautiful mountains. Dining at outdoor cafes to the music of violins was fantastic with fancy flavor, but nothing was as special as family dinners.Romania didn’t have many dry cleaners. Most homes had old-fashioned washingmachines but no dryers, and it was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was shocking: the women only wore their bras(胸罩) and slips (衬裙) at dinner table. The men were eating without shirts. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Having dinner without proper clothes was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of washing clothes—at least in my husband’s home, perhaps a ll across Romania. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry.On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. All men and women applauded for my action. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying, “She’s part of our family now.”My children were 4 and 5 at the time, but they still have memories of that trip. They know how to say “Good morning” and “There are apricots(杏子) on the tree”.I can still say, “Do you speak Romanian?”and “I swim in the Black Sea.” But most of all, I remember sitting at a long dining-room table in my bra, enjoying meatballs with fresh garlic .32. From Para. 1, we can infer that ________.A. the mother didn’t want to see her sonB. a trip to Europe would be dangerousC. the mother didn’t like to write in penD. Romania might be unsafe at that time33. Which of the following statements about the writer’s trip in Romania is true?A. The couple bought a new German-made car after they arrived in German.B. The writer had little interest in the relatives.C. The writer used a new language with effort.D. The family enjoyed swimming in the black sea best.34. What made the writer feel special about the family dinner in Romania?A. The way people dressed.B. The way people spoke.C. The fantastic violin music.D. The fancy food flavor.35. The writer shared her story to say ________.A. “one needs to sacrifice to find true love”B. “east and west, home is the best”C. “when in Rome do as the Romans do”D. “marry a dog and follow the dog forever”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。

We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist,I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent,"Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference."24. What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey?A. They volunteered to make bread for their community.B. They managed to live by selling more bread in the store.C. They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store.D. They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them.25.

They are also held in many parks and museums.Neeta Bhasin created the Times Square event. She said Indian immigrants have found great success in America. But, she said, many Americans still do not know much about India. So, she decided to act."I felt it's about time that we should take India to mainstream America and show India's rich culture, heritage, arts and variety to the world,"she said,"and I couldn't find a better place than Times Square."Bhasin came to the United States from India 40 years ago. She is president of ASB Communications, the marketing firm behind Diwali at Times Square.

But there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart clothes:The fibers they designed got damaged during the clothing manufacturing process, namely during the weaving and cutting.The Chongqing and Jinan University scientists say they've solved this problem because the energy-collecting and energy-storing threads they created are highly flexible - each individual thread is easily bendable,and not simply the fabric as a whole.The team's sample textile can be fully charged to 1.2 volts in 17 seconds by exposure to sunlight enough voltage that your future smart T-shirt or smart dress might be able to power small electronics.It's durable,too;their research showed there was no descent in the fabric after 60 days. But don't worry that this means the fabric is similar to rough cloth.The scientists note their textile can be fashioned into numerous different patterns,and tailored into any designed shape,without affecting performance.32.W hat does the underlined phrase "running out of juice" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Being lacking in energy.B. Wanting to have some juice.C. Being picked out of a drink.D. Having some water running out.33.Why could smart dress charge a phone?A. A solar cell is attached to the dress.B. The fabric of the textile contains current.C. The fabric of the textile is easily bendable.D. The fabric of the textile could collect and store the solar energy.34.What is the scientists' attitude towards the scientific technology?A. Optimistic.B. Pessimistic.C. Neutral.D. Doubtful.35.This passage is written to ______ .A. persuade readers to buy new clothesB. inform readers of the ways to use their devicesC.introduce new wearable energy to readersD. remind readers to wear smart clothes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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
