If you are, your parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having you get an eye massage( 按摩), take medicine or even get surgery( 手术). In some advertisements (广告), people who offer these services or products often say that they can reduce or even cure (治疗) short sight.The government has issued a notice to ban (禁止) businesses from using words like “recovery” or “short sight cure” in their advertisements. The notice says that short sight cannot be completely cured with current medicaltechnology. Therefore, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.Young people can prevent and control short sight by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers. People who have sight problems should first go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018. Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students. This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices.To reduce short sight among young people, the government made a new plan last August. The plan is designed to limit the amount of time children spend playing video games, as well as limit the production of new video games.26．Why do some people say that they can cure short sight ?A．They want to show off their high-leveled skills.B．They want to sell more products and services.C．They want to share their medical technology.27．Advertisements with the word “ ” will be banned by the government.A．Recovery B．eyesight C．short sight28．If you have a sight problem, what should you do first?A．Get surgery.B．Ask a doctor for advice.C．Take some medicine.29．Which group has the highest short sight rate?A．Primary school students.B．Junior high school students.C．Senior high school students.30．From the last paragraph, what can we know?A．Students should be stopped from using mobile phones.B．Students in lower grades are more likely to get short sight.C．Production of new video games will be limited.DWhat are you holding in your hand while you are taking the exam? Right. A pen.Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools(工具).Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction ofsteam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers (律师) took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their exams with it as well.Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. A pen records the important events in our life.Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful tool which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.31．The pen can do many things EXCEPT .A．change the history B．carry news C．replace all other tools32．In the third paragraph, “it ” refers to(指代) .A．the pen B．the steam engine C．the invention of wheels33．The lawyers started to write the law of the country .A．before their thoughts were changedB．when papyrus was first usedC．as soon as they recorded their names34．The underlined word “utilitarian” in the passage means “ ” .A．useful B．boring C．special35．What is the best title for this passage?A．A Powerful Tool B．An Important Law C．A Valuable RecordEBig data(数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program.The computer program looks for different kinds of answers in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.36．What can we know from Paragraph 1?A．The computer program can’t look for anything in the data.B．Big data can have different kinds of information from social media sites.C．We are not able to have people’s names and addresses in the data.37．What does one company use weather information to do?A．To help children in need.B．To know when people will visit the hospital.C．To understand when people will need ice cream.38．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3 ?A．Big data can be used for good reasonsB．We can use big data to prevent babies from getting sick.C．Big data can be used for both good and bad reasons.39．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．what big data is and how it is usedB．what schools and hospitals people likeC．where important data is collected and stored40．The overall tone (总基调) of this reading is .A．sad and personal B．scientific and informative C．informative but silly二、补全短文6选5There are some skills for students to listen to the teacher in class, which means you’re going to have to practice it.

I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style（欧式的）buildings, and learned some stories there.Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.66．When did the writer start learning French?__________________________________________________67．How did the local school determine the students’ language level?__________________________________________________68．Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French?__________________________________________________69．What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City?__________________________________________________70．What could be the main reason for the writer’s improvement in French?__________________________________________________七、语篇翻译Every year, US magazine Time picks the best inventions of the year.
