DAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do weoften assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? Thegood news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live morewith less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donateless-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia diddecide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to payfor her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were lessoften used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(ourkindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it ahabit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, anduse less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my owntheory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it wouldkeep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about fiveminutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available.We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sittingon it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it anhour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my fullattention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object workedfor both of us.(1)、What do the words "more is more" in paragraph 1 probably mean?A、The more, the better.B、Enough is enough.C、More money, more worries.D、Earn more and spend more.(2)、What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A、Saving up for her holidayB、Raising money for a poor girlC、Adding the moneyto her fund D、Giving the money to a sick mother(3)、Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A、To try out an ideaB、To show a parent's loveC、To train his attentionD、To help him start a hobby(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、Take It or Leave ItB、A Lesson from KidsC、Live More with LessD、The Pleasure of Giving+2.(2018?天津)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Population ChangeWhy is the world’ s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reasonfor the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people havestopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30. By 2000 theaverage age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century,declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world’ s population live in regions w the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e. 2.1 births per woman)and almost alldeveloped nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developingnations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world ive in such’ s people now l nations), but you’ d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regionstoo, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does itimply? First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population zxxkdecline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economicgrowth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could inviteRussia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise.Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by amassive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993andpeople in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody is quitesure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trendsdon ’ t bend, Russia’ s population will be about the size of Yemen’ s by the year 2050.In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south,where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist,birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. Intotal, 25% of India’-sageworkingpopulation has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the countrypotential work force could be totally uneducated.One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it isalmost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20%from 2010 — 2030. Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. Asa result it’ s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strongeconomic growth over the longer term.Population Change71.【答案】lower【解析】根据"declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st"可知, 21 世纪的出生率比 20 世纪低,且 much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级,故填 lower 。

These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who caresHowever, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.(1)What does the author seem to like about cherries?contain protein.are high in vitamin A.have a pleasant taste.are rich in antioxidants.(2)Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?make them smell better.keep their colour.speed up their ripening.improve their nutrition.(3)What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?dessert.drink.container.machine.(4)From which is the text probably taken?biology textbook.health magazine.research paper.travel brochure.and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.(1)What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?’s reading habits.of children’s books.’s after-class activities.relationships.(2)Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"paragraph 2.paragraph 3.paragraph 4.paragraph 5.(3)Why do many parents limit electronic reading?are of poor quality.could be a waste of time.may ha rm children’s health.are expensive.(4)How should parents encourage their children to read more?as role models for them.then to write book reports.up reading groups for them.with their reading class teachers.’ve all been there: in a lift, in lin e at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problemIt’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an inv aluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’teven exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them."In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband," says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also."Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners," he says.(1)What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?to smartphones.behaviours in public places.of communication between strangers.with slow service.(2)What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?good manners.to other people.on a topic.business deals.(3)What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?improves family relationships.raises people’s confid ence.matters as much as a formal talk.makes people feel good.(4)What is the best title for the text?Countsof Making Small Talkof Small TalkSilence5.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。

afterwards.Then I joined a slimming club.My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months.I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked.But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits.I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen.Instead of losing the pounds.I put them on.I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bage of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.Roz Juma:To be honest,I never weigh myself any more I’ve leant to be happy with myself.It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips.My idea is simple.You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting.Instea d,you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body.This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and,most of all.I’m happy with it.Lesley Codwin:I was very happy about winning Young Silmmer of the Year.I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me!That might have been my problem——perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself.Winning a national competition makes everything worse,though,because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you.I feel a complete failure because I’ve put onweight again.Ros Langfod:Before moving in with my husband Gavin,I’d always been about 110 pounds,but th e pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year.Every so often I try to go on a diet …I’m really good on a few days,then end up having the

to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,and army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations(谈判)between the Rockets and NBA representatives(代表),the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft thisyear”because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt(适应)to the speed,techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.63.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because .A.he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC.he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD.he is thought highly of in the international world64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A.there is no problem with his visaB.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC.time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks65.The underlined phrase“try his hand”in the passage probably means .A.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳66.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .A.it can show NBA need talentsB.Wang Zhizhi can have a bright futureC.its whole level will be improvedD.it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous67.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA,he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .A.rules of basketballB.the speedC.cultureD.techniquesDAntigua and Barbuda is the 32nd

Mr.Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road.He had been to London where he had drawn £50 from the bank,and he was now returning home with the money which he had put in his pocket book.At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby,badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift.Mr.Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way.As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days ago.Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the £50 that he had put in his pocket book.Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea.He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour.He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go.He looked back and saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him.After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.A policeman got out and came to Mr.Green’s car.Mr.Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber,but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr.Green’s back.The policeman took out his notebook and pencil and said he wanted M r.Green’s name and address.Mr.Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said,“No,I want your name and address now.You will have to appear at the police court later.”So,Mr.Green gave the policeman his name and address.The policeman wro te it down,put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr.Green a talk about dangerous driving.Then Mr.Green started up his car again and drove on.He had given up all hope of his £50,but just as he reached the outskirts of London,the passenger said he wanted to get out here.Mr.Green stopped the car,the man got out and said,“Thanks for the lift.You’ve been good to me.This is the least I can do in return.”And he handed Mr.Green the policeman’s notebook. While the policeman had talked to Mr.Green,the thief had stolen the notebook.72.What was Mr.Green worried about when he learned the man was an escaped robber?A.The £50 in his pocket book.B.His life.C.His car.D.His pocket book.73.Which of the following is true?A.Mr.Green wanted to be taken to the police station right away but the policeman refused him.B.The policeman asked Mr.Green to come to the police station right away.C.The policeman told Mr.Green that he would have to pay a fine.D.Mr.Green would not give his name and address but promised to appear at the police court later.74.What did the robber give Mr.Green when he got out of the car?A.The pistol he had put to the back of Mr.Green.B.Some money.C.Some money and the stolen notebook.D.The policeman’s notebook.75.Why did the robber steal the policeman’s notebook?A.He wanted to show he could do something other people could not do.B.He thought he should do something to save Mr.Green from trouble.C.He had no other purpose but playing a trick on the policeman.D.He meant to use the notebook to pay for the life.56~60 DBCAA 61~65 BABCA 66~70 CADDC 71~75 BAADB。

The industry faces a protracted and severe skill shortage. AI can perform both rote management tasks more quickly and efficiently, without getting bored or distracted. It can also learn new and better security practices from the evolving digital framework it inhabits. (1) In ou r world whe re conne cti vit yhas far ou tpac ed securit y, int ell igent a gents that ca n h eal and defend themse lves are invaluabl e all ies. Machine learning has already proven effective in sandbox environments at exploring potentialvulnerabilities and devising defenses.、2 But cybercriminals are developing their own AI, and are unlikely to do so ethically. In legitimate lab settings, AI can be carefully monitored and trained for years to be predictable and reliable.(2)Cybercriminals are less likely to avoid these potentially dangerous side effects, favoring speed over safet y. Malware rings resembling intelligent swarms of (一大群) angry bees are already starting toappear, weaponizing devices against their owners.3 It is the rise of the hive (数据仓库工具) . Today the term botnet refers to automated, zombie-like devices that are remotely programmed to target other vulnerable systems with malware (恶意软件) , or to infect them via blunt-force attacks, such as denial of service. Botnets are dangerous and account for billions of unauthorized network communications every quarter. The hivenet, however, is much more frightening because each unit of the hivenet, a swarmbot, will itself be powered by AI.(3)Swarmbots will be able to make autonomous decisions without relying on a botnet herder and join togethe r int o larger autonom ous thi nking networks. The potential for hivenet damage is substantiallygreater than anything we have faced from already-potent botnets.4 (4)That’s why one of the most serious threats we face in 2018 and beyond is malware with the capa cit y to learn and gro w throu gh it s own su cces ses . Polymorphic (多态的) malware with pre-coded algorithms (算法) designed to subvert (破坏) countermeasures and screens is already a reality. Butthat approach simply generates millions of slight variations on the same theme. Nextgen Al- generated malware will be aware and capable of adapting itself.5 (5)Instead of sim pl y f oll owing a set of pre -p rogramm ed inst ructi ons, it will select targets ofopportuni t y, assess th eir weakness es, dev elo p a plan of att ack and cover it s tracks. And it will make intelligent decisions about what information to exfiltrate, and when. (6) In shatt acker will behave with the autonom y an d inven ti veness of a hi ghl y skil l ed and mot ivated humanatt acker, but at fri ghtenin gl y hi gh er speeds. Hostile AI will be extremely dedicated to exploration, finding weaknesses at every possible crease (折痕) in the network perimeter (周边) .(7)Without anyneed for op erator in terv en tion , it will be able to full y map ta rgets, desi gn and d ep loy ex ploi ts, an deven coll ect ( and spend ) ran soms . These are not fever dreams. These are the clear and demonstrable goals of the cybercriminal branch of artificial intelligence research. Unsupervised, unfettered AI poses a massive threat to data security and infrastructure integrity.6 We are at a very delicate moment in our transformation to a digital society and economy.
