finally arrived.I still remember the tears welling up in my six-year-old sister’s eyes as she looked around the empty closet in wonder.The space once filled with her clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow.This little child had come to the realization that her father was gone.He had left us, and there was simply no way to change it.Being the oldest of four girls has never been easy, but with the departure of our father, our world and dreams were broken beyond repair.My mother, the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world, has worked harder than anyone should simply to mend our broken household.However, long hours at work often prevented her from physically being there in our times of need.This is where I have stepped up as the temporary caretaker of my three small sisters.Many students write college essays about their leadership positions in school and the community but I feel that my greatest accomplishment is the role I have played within my own family.Senior year in high school is not simple for anyone, especially when it feels likethe entire world is resting on your shoulders, but this is how I have felt for the past two years, I have continually tried to fulfill the dream my mother holds for my future.My mother was not able to complete her college education, and so this success is her top significance for her children.A leader is defined as one who has influence on others.I hope that my leadership affects the lives of my sisters and everyone around me.In dedicating myself to my family and school, I have set goals that I will do anything to accomplish.I am an extremely determined individual, and my university will help me take the next step in climbing the ladder of success.1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?A.Show a

wants based on thesound of their cry.The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry, fussy or in pain.While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphone, others say it’s a helpful tool for new or tired parents.Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app.She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant(婴儿) cries.She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries.And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was either hungry or fussy.Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science.“I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,”Ball said ,“I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet(电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children.”But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results, not to provide a yes or no answer.The Bells, a couple using this app, say it’s a win-win.They believe they are not only helping their baby now but potentially others in the future.1.How does the app judge what babies want?A.By collecting data.B.By recording all the sounds.C.By analyzing the sound of their cries.D.By asking parents about specific messages.2.What was the app designed for in the beginning?A.All new parents.B.Deaf parents.。

He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pai rs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was ca rrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn't h ave any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named T ony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near th e Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package."Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it.

One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip." "Thanks."Is Brian a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris.

Businesses someti mes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign co untries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a pack age with an air-courier, but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers.

However, many adult s do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adul t today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of slee p deprivation in the working population. A significant numberof people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleepl essness or jet lag.Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep de privation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical a ctivity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain ca nnot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult su bjects who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awak e and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform s everal tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers foun d that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, w as active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in sub jects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sl eep, there was no activity within this region.Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of slee p can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers , researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same eff ects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after b eing awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a bl ood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concl uded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider si milar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.12. The underlined word "deprivation" in the First Paragraph i s closest in meaning to_______.A. weaknessB. lossC. discomfortD. pain13. The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sle ep deprivation EXCEPT______.A. jet lagB. long work hoursC. boring workD. working at night14. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_________.A. how many hours people can survive without sleepB. how people react when their sleep is interruptedC. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleepD. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity15. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Last P aragraph?A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol l evel.B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.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。

One of them is the Amazon rainforest, the world’s largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed “the lungs of our planet”, it generates about one-fifth of Earth’s oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder is currently in danger.Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the “most intense” in almost a decade, according to BBC News.The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were over 74,000 fires the highest number since 2013, the BBC reported.Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean land, reported CNN.The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for preventing climate change, said the BBC, absorbing millions of tons of carbon annually. When trees are cut down or burned, the rainforest’s capacity(能力)to absorb carbon is reduced.Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he’s worried. If more than 20 percent of the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a "tipping point(临界点)where the thickjungle will turn into a tropical savannah(大草原).Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having already been destroyed.The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered their support and called for recovery efforts. For example, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said he wanted to donate money and US Actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmental charity, Earth Alliance, created a donation fund to help deal with the crisis.The public are also encouraged to donate to charities concerned with rainforest preservation(保护). “Every little bit helps in a tragic situation like this,” commented Gizmodo.28.

His group has invented a new way for deaf-blind people to “watch” TV. The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group. The team had already worked on making audiovisual(视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities. But the group wanted to help people with both challenges. So they asked some deaf-blind people what would help.In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deaf-blind people can also get and send information with a Braille line. The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers. A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display. Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine.Now the new s ystem changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use. “The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles(字幕) to collect TV information, ” Garcia Crespo explains. “Subtitles travel with the image(影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don’t see. But an electronic system can keep those waves. ”First, a computer program, or app, pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal. The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille.Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people’s Braille lines on demand. “This is done in re al time, in less than a second,” Garcia Crespo says. This lets a deaf-blind person “watch” TV as it’s broadcast. The system will work with various Braille lines, as long as there’s a bluetooth connection available. Now, the system is only used in Europe, and it should soon be available in the US.32. What inspired Garcia Crespo’s group to work on the new technology?A. Deaf-blind people’s poor life.B. Their pity on the disabled people.C. The challenges they face in work.D. Their group’s previous research.33. Why can the electronic system collect TV information?A. It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals.B. It can keep the waves with subtitles traveling.C. It can work together with a variety of Braille lines.D. It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions.34. What does the author think of the future of the new technology?A. Challenging.B. Bright.C. Rewarding.D. Hopeless.35. What should be a suitable title for the text?A. New Technology Is Improving Deaf-blind People’s LifeB. A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People’s LifeC. A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind PeopleD. New Technology Helps Deaf-blind Peo ple “Watch” TV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。
