That might sound like Superman,but stuntman(特技演员)Vince Deadrick Jr.is very much human.As a stuntman in movies and television shows,Deadrick admits he’s no stranger to getting hurt.He has suffered broken bones,bled,gotten knocked out and nearly fallen to death,but he considers himself lucky to be alive after some of the stunts he has performed.Deadrick has been a stunt coordinator(协调员)for the Nickelodeon channel for12 years.He has worked with famous actors,directors and producers,and he has travelled all over the world.But that doesn’t mean his work is easy.It took him years of hard work to get where he is today.Deadrick’s father,Vince Deadrick Sr.,was also a stuntman,but his family connection didn’t give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business.He learned from his dad how to set up cardboard boxes and fall mats for high falls,and he started training on his own once he decided to follow in his father's footsteps.As a stunt coordinator,Deadrick takes danger seriously.When he hires a new stunt performer,he looks for a professional(专业人士).“You’re only as good as the people you hire,”he says.A stuntman needs to know his own abilities and limitations so he won’t shy away from doing his best but also won’t be such a daredevil(铤而走险的人)that he could hurt himself or others.When the actors and stuntmen are going to do something dangerous,they need to know they’re trusting the right person.With over40years in the business,Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe.Though he has a large amount of responsibility,Deadrick loves his job.“I’m in a position where I have to make decisions on risk factors,keeping the actors and stuntmen safe while still making it look impressive.I love my business,and I love the excitement.”4.It can be inferred from

with no limitationsD.puts experience above all else7.What does Deadrick think of his job?A.Hard and boring.B.Easy and attractive.C.Skilled but relaxing.D.Challenging but exciting.CA UK college has started teaching students the Danish concept of hygge—said to make homes nicer and people happier.But what exactly is it?Sitting by the fire on a cold night,while petting a dog—probably surrounded by candles.That’s certainly“hygge”.Eating homemade cakes.Watching TV under a warm quilt.Tea served in a china set.Family gettogethers at Christmas.They’re all hygge too.The Danish word,pronounced“hooga”,is usually translated into English as “cosiness(舒适)”.But it’s much more than that—it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark one of the world’s happiest countries.Morley College,in central London,is teaching students how to achieve hygge aspart of its Danish language course.“We have long,cold winters in Denmark,”says lecturer Susanne Nilsson.“That influences things.Hygge doesn’t have to be a winteronly thing,but it isn’t that fine for much of the year.”With up to17hours of darkness per day in winter,and average temperatures staying around0℃,people spend more time indoors as a result,says Nilsson,meaning there’s greater focus on home entertaining.The idea is to feel as athome as possible,forgetting life’s worries.“Hygge works best when there’s not too large an empty space around the person or people,”Nilsson adds.The recent growth in Scandinavianthemed restaurants,cafes and bars in the UK is helping to export hygge,Nilsson says.Most customers won’t have heard of the term, but they might get a sense of it.Similarly,in the US,the wallpaper and fabric(织物)firm Hygge&West aims to channel the concept through its cheery designs,as does a Los Angeles bakery,called Hygge,which sells traditional Danish cakes and treats.Hygge is a deeprooted tradition in Danes’life.Helen Russell,author of The Year of Living Danishly:Uncovering the Secrets of the World’s Happiest Country,says,“Hygge is so important for those who live Danishly that the other day,I saw a camper car parked by the roadside with lit candles in the windows.”8.Which can be used to explain the concept of hygge?A.It means success.B.It is a way to relax.C.It requires a large room.D.It is a candleinvolved moment.9.What makes the Danish have more home life according to the text?A.The country’s climate.B.The country’s culture.C.The country’s economy.D.The country’s education.10.What do we learn about hygge in the UK and the US?A.It is ignored by the two countries’people.B.It is quite different from that in Denmark.C.It is a new trend in the two countries.D.It is related to several traditions.11.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To explain the history of hygge.B.To discuss a UK college course.C.To encourage people to live Danishly.D.To introduce a traditional Danish lifestyle.DAcademic learning is usually the focus at school,but teaching elementaryage students“soft”skills like selfcontrol and how to get along with others might help to keep atrisk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early1990s for more than 7,600children of55schools in America.They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk for developing aggressive behavioral problems.The students were divided into two groups;half took part in the intervention,which included teacherled courses,parent training groups,academic tutoring and lessons in selfcontrol and social skills.The program,which lasted from first grade through10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪),arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through their teens and young adulthood.In another latest study,by looking at the data from nearly900students in earlier findings,researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and selfregulation(自我约束)skills the students learned from ages6to11.The academic skills,or hard skills like learning of physics,which were taught as part of Fast Track,turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills,which are associated with emotional intelligence.Soft skills might include teaching kids to work cooperatively in a group or teaching them how to think about the longterm consequences when they make a decision.Researchers drew the conclusion that these soft skills should be stressed even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children.Parents should do allthey can to promote these skills with their children as should education policymakers.If we can improve those skills,we can improve the outcome(结果)of delinquency.12.Fast Track was intended for children who.A.were randomly chosen from their schoolsB.had some problems with academic learningC.often went against their teachers and parents’wishesD.were considered to have criminal trouble in the future13.What can be learned about"the intervention"in Paragraph2?A.It included all the students.B.It focused on social skills.C.It improved health services.D.It had positive outcomes.pared with soft skills,hard skills.A.almost have no influence on studentsB.are more affected by students’emotionC.are mainly related to academic learningD.offer children greater selfcontrol abilities15.Which is the best title for the passage?A.Soft Social Skills MatterB.Fast Track Helps ChildrenC.How to Prevent DelinquencyD.What to DO for Education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。

I went to a wonderful school, West Seattle High School, for my freshman year.I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.And the moment the word “international” flew out of my mouth, I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?” “Do you have McDonald’s? Does it taste the same?” and “Say something in your language”. It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally, my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?" At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown (长袍) and waving at the crowd. What? People do have a wild imagination!During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.4. Why was the author afraid on the first day of school?A. Because she was eager to talk with others.B. Because she could not communicate with others well.C. Because she couldn’t learn a new language without a teacher’s help.D. Because she was not good at the subjects in this school.5. What happened when the word “international” flew out of the author’s mouth?A. .Her classmates tried to know less about the author’s hometown.B. Her classmates played a joke on her.C. Her classmates were eager to make friends with her.D. Her classmates showed interest in her country6. The underlined word “suspiciously” in the fifth paragraph means _______.A. surprisinglyB.doubtfully C. angrily D. thankfully7. What can we learn from the text?A. The author was a princess from Ukraine.B. The author couldn’t adapt to the school environment later.C. The author got lots of benefits through studying abroad.D. The author always told her classmates about her cultural background.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals i n its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep f eelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all fee lings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away. It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them. but before long you’d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’l l have to deal with them, just like those bananas.8. When people and animals are aroused by fear, _______.A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. They may get ready to attack or run awayC. Their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.Their muscles get neither tense nor relaxed9. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animals.B. They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C. They always do something wrong to other people.D. They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C. Feeling will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D. It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.11. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper wayB. To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C. To tell us that people’s feelings ar e like bananas in a cupboard.D. To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DCompanies that have invested heavily in big data want to know how to make smart investments that will distinguish them from the competition and enable the best possible return before making the decision to go all in. In the past, not all enterprises’ big dataplans went as planned. These failures are not usually published, but the big data failure rate is unusually high.According to Gartner, only 15% of businesses make it past the experimental stage of these projects. Our fear, as leaders of technology companies, is that with so much attention surrounding AI, the pressure is on for us to apply the technology without first setting clear business goals and understanding the differences between AI and ML (machine learning) and how they should be applied, thus risking falling behind the many decision-makers who are adopting the technology.It’s easy to get caught up in the great expectations of artificial intel ligence as it’s promoted, including breakthroughs like deep learning, but those who want to make an outsized influence should instead focus on good old-fashioned machine learning —or “cheap learning”.The distinction is simple: Cheap learning is about using basic machine learning techniques on straightforward data sets in different parts of a company to produce a large number of small, gradual improvements. Deep learning, on the other hand, is a specific part of machine learning. Deep learning is a collection of advanced machine learning approaches that make business decisions based on highly complex data sets possible.For tasks of analyzing raw data, such as images and voice recordings, deep learning is best. But when it comes to working on simplified, st ructured types of data, we’ve found cheap machine learning will do the trick. When you consider that the majority of data flowing through enterprises fall into this second category, it’s clear which tool makes the most sense.12. What do we know about investment in big data from the first paragraph?A. It’s risky.B. It’s safe.C. It’s secret.D. It’s fruitful.13. Which of the following adds to the pressure on the leading technology companies?A. Understanding AI and ML.B. Wasting too much time on AI.C. Falling behind other companies.D. Acting with unclear business goals.14. What should companies with ambitions concentrate on?A. A strong influence.B. Big breakthroughs.C. Cheap learning.D. Deep learning.15. What is the main idea of the passage?panies should invest in big data.B. Knowing the difference bewteen AI and ML matters.C.Deeping learning or cheap learning depends on the nature of tasks.D. Deep learning is always better than cheap learning.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。

More breaks! And that is exactly what some schools are giving students, which turns out to be beneficial for everyone. Eagle Mountain Elementary School in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of four public schools carrying out the LiiNK program, a project that increases breaks per day to improve creativity, develop character ? and heighten school success.LiiNK was inspired by Scandinavian approaches to learning based on the simple concept （观念）of giving children more outside playtime and less time spent indoors. In Finland, where the system has been in place for decades, students have some of the highest scores on global assessment tests. Instead of spending increasing amounts of time inside the classroom? they' re putting more and more focus on physical activity. Finnish kids get to enjoy 15 minutes of playtime for every hour of class.After spending six weeks in Finland in 2016, Debbie Rhea, the creator of LiiNK and professor at Texas Christian University, discovered that the additional breaks of outdoor playn actually helped students improve their performance inside the classroom. "You start putting 15minutes into these kids every so often and it gives the platform for them to be able to function at their best level," she says.Other studies have shown that outdoor playtime decreases restlessness, anxiety, and has a whole other benefits such as improved motor skills, physical fitness, and social development. Rhea started carrying out the program in private schools in 2017, and has since expanded her program to districts in Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Utah and the children in these schools are all the happier for it.

Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved.What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would a ctually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange.But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Partici pants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid (柠檬酸) hits their taste buds (味蕾). Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water.”The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubregh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has sinceraised almost $50000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge.If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it.21. Why is the icy bucket challenge mentioned m the article.A. to show how charity gained its popularity online.B. to introduce a similar challenge that raises money for charity.C. to attract peo ple’s attention to a rare disease.D. to prove its popularity around the world.22. Compared with the pre-Internet charity, what is the advantage of online charity?A. It raises more money than ever before.B. It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases.C. It brings people together easily and quickly.D. It causes little doubt among people.23. What d oes the underlined phrase “take off’ in the last paragraph mean?A. go away suddenlyB. become successful and popularC. remove your clothesD. take a break24. What is the author’s attitude towards online charity?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. ambiguousBThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twicea day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend.Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs （病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step: Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.25. What is found out about American seniors?A. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.B. Most of them have good habits.C. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.D. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.26. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands .A. eight times a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. twice a day27. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.D. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.27. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. We should wash our hands before touching a door handleD. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.28. The text probably comes from .A. a guide bookB. a book reviewC. a popular magazineD. an official document （文件）CAs technology develops, school students who are off class may have no fear of too much absence from class. A small robot may help those childrenrecovering from a long-term illnesses in the hospital or at home. These children may feel isolated from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They also can take part in class from wherever they are recovering.Anyone who has had a long term illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be especially true of children. They may feel left out. Now these children may have a high-tech friend to feel less alone. And that friend is a robot. The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.A Norwegian company called No isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device（设备）to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. The child can take part in classroom activities from wherever she/he is recovering-whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras make communicating easy.29. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated”?A. to be difficult to deal withB. to be away fromC. to be unhappy or feel sorrowD. to be hopeful30. What can we know about AV1?A. It can go to school on its own.B. It is small and looks like a kid.C. It can replace children to attend classes.D. It was created by Dolva and Aabel.31. How are the movements of AV1 controlled?A. By using a tablet or phone.B. By joining in classroom activities.C. Through a small speaker.D. Through a small camera.DThe possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from coming into reality in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their cars in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology may change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is managed.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverlesscars, policymakers should be talking more about how self-driving cars can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放)and offer more convenient and affordable choices to move around. The arrival of driverless cars is a chance to make sure that those cars are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own their self-driving cars. They accept long, slow journeys to and from work on crowded highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride. They take their driverless car to a date and set the empty car to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(网约车)services. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless cars doesn't worsen the transportation system we have today. The coming technological development presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.32.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Self-driving cars are not allowed in the real world.B. Driverless taxies will be seen everywhere on the road in a short term.C. California is not alone in testing driverless cars.D. Self-driving technology will definitely benefit transportation system.33.According to the author, policymakers should pay more attention to __________.A. how driverless cars can help deal with transportation-related problemsB. how driverless cars can travel safelyC. how driverless cars can travel fasterD. how driverless cars can move more people34.What is a possible side effect of self-driving cars?A. Journeys to and from work become longer.B. More and more people abandon public transportation.C. There is no place to park them.D. They may result in traffic jams.35.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Preparing Cities for Robot CarsB. Future Technology UnderwayC. Transportation System in the FutureD. Robot Cars on the Road 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。
