Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.That thought stayed in Mikah Frye’s mind and when he reached home, Mikah informed his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realized that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless. He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter. Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night. Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalized message of hope in Mikah’s handwriting stating: “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it. That’s why I want you to have your own blanket. Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too. Your friend, Mikah.”The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa’s list of nice boys” that year.8. Why did Mikah give up his Christmas gift?A. The device was out of date.B. His parents had a tight budget.C. He wanted to spend a warm Christmas.D. He decided to do something charitable.9. What made Mikah have a better understanding of the situation of the homeless?A. His own experience.B. His parents’ education.C. His visiting to the emergency shelter.D. The cold weather during the holiday season.10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return.B. He finally got the gift he wanted on Christmas.C. The company Microsoft fooled Mikah into buying an Xbox.D Mikah wrote a thank-you note to the emergency shelter he lived in.11. What might be the best title for the text?A. Mikah’s Precious Christmas GiftB. Mikah’s Giving Warmth on ChristmasC. Microsoft Rewarded Nice Boys on Santa’s ListD. The Homeless Needed Blankets on a Cold ChristmasDIn life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of howitworks and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”12. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The experiment.B. Functional fixedness.C. The path.D. The thinking.13. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A. Tacking the candle to the wall.B. Fixing the candle with melted wax.C. Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D. Lighting the candle tostand it.14. Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A. People should question.B. We should be used to the way things are.C. People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D. The smarter people are，the more open to the new things they are.15. What's the passage mainly about?A. An interesting experimentB. A psychological phenomenon.C. A theory to be proved.D. The opinion of Hannah Arendt.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Held in London at the All England Club, it is the oldest tennis tournament in the world.Over its long history, the tournament has developed traditions which help to 31 it among sports events. During the tournament, players must follow a dress code and compete wearing all-white clothing. This allows the competitors to stand out 32 among those dressed in the tennis club’s official colors of dark green and purple.Wimbledon’s most 33 tradition, however, is that all matches are played on outdoor grass courts. In fact, Wimbledon is the only major tennis tournament still played on grass. Several of the courts at the All England Club are only used for two weeks a year, during the championships. For Wimbledon players, it’s the honor of a lifetime to play the game they love on the tennis world’s center stage. In addition to the 34 and recognition for the winners is the annually increasing prize money the champions take home. Wimbledon consists of five main events with several 35 events and invitation events. Men and women, or gentlemen and ladies as they’re called at Wimbledon, compete in singles and doubles matches. There is also mixed doubles, where one man and one woman make up a team. Events are mostly single 36 tournaments. Only the gentlemen’s, senior gentlemen’s and ladies’ invitation doubles are round-robin (循环赛) tournaments.During the 14 days of 37 competition, nearly 500,000 people will attend the event, including members of the royal family. On occasion this has included the Prince of Wales and Her majesty the Queen. One of Wimbledon’s past traditions required players to bow toward the tournament’s honored guests. Some players still 38 observe the tradition even though the players are no longer required to do so.As the players compete, the tennis fans also participate in another tournament tradition by consuming the 39 strawberries and cream.With the tennis world’s 40 now set on Wimbledon, don’t miss the opportunity to catch this much-loved sporting event.III.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply… All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday.But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected.The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called “Disneyland”. The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park.Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28,154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down.56. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park?A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry.B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan.C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation.D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park.57. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection_____.A. brought good luck to Disney and his parkB. contributed to the difficulty of opening the parkC. was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the parkD. presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan58. What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage?A. Everything went on smoothly before it opened.B. It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening.C. People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism.D. Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day.59. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Disneyland: How It All BeganB.

You can get a discount as long as you use Gift V oucher Code.D. You need to place a special order for it if you have severe hearing loss.(C)A new study suggests the Apple Watch was able to identify abnormal heart rates that could be linked to a serious heart condition.More than 400,000 Apple Watch users volunteered for the study. It was a project of researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Apple, the American technology company, provided money for the study. Results were recently presented at a major conference on heart health in New Orleans, Louisiana.The researchers looked for signs of atrial fibrillation, also called “a-fib”, the most common form of irregular heartbeat. Some people with a-fib feel changes in their heartbeat, while others do not. Because of this, many people do not know they have the condition. People with untreated a-fib are about five times more likely to suffer a stroke (中风). In the United States, a-fib causes an estimated 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations each year.People taking part in the study wore the Apple Watch for extended periods. The devices contain an app that continuously gathers information without users having to do anything. It uses the watch’s light sensor technology to measure blood flow. The system is designed to identify changes that might show an irregular heartbeat.The researchers said that out of those taking part, about 2,000 subjects (实验对象) received a warning from the device that they might have a problem. Those individuals were then asked to contact a doctor, who decided whether they should receive more close watch for a possible irregular heartbeat.Lloyd Minor, head of Stanford’s School of Medicine, said in a statement that the results show great promise in using technology to create “more predictive and preventive health care”. Doctor Minor added that a-fib is just one example of a condition devices can help identify in the future. “This study opens the door to further research into wearable technologies and how they might be used to prevent disease before it strikes,” he said.But some health researchers warned against making any general judgements based on the Apple-financed study. They have called for much more research to measure the effectiveness of wearable devices to identify signs of disease. Richard Kovacs, who was with the American College of Cardiology and was not involved with the study, told the Associated Press that despite the results, the Apple Watch system “is not perfect.” He noted that since the study did not have a comparison group getting regular ECG measurements, there is no way of knowing if the device missed heartbeat problems. This could give users a false sense of security, he said.Other experts agreed that more studies are needed before similar device-based health observation systems are widely recommended.63. What does the new study mainly find out?A. Apple Watch can warn of heart problems.B. Apple Watch can protect people against a-fib.C. Abnormal heart rates can cause a stroke.D. Heart problems can be identified and cured.64. Apple Watch identifies irregular heartbeats by _____.A. measuring the wearer’s heart ratesB. sending information to the wearer through an appC. extending the time of wearing itD. monitoring the wearer’s bloodstream65. Which of the following might be what Lloyd Minor means in his statement?A. It’s difficult for doctors to predict and prevent disease now.B. A-fib is just one example of a condition that causes heart problems.C. Wearable technologies might identify and treat any disease one day.D. There are more possibilities of development in wearable technology.66. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A. wearable technologies are developing fast but shouldn’t be applied to medicineB. the study results are inspiring but more proofs are needed to ensure the accuracyC. the study is sponsored by a commercial company so the results are a little unfairD. device-based health observation systems are convenient and should be widely usedSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Sculpture with a Life of Its OwnThere is a new type of animal that has been walking alongthe beaches since the 1990s. They are called Strandbeest, whichis Dutch for beach beast. 67 They are creations ofDutch artist Theo Jansen, and they can move themselves usingnothing more than the power of the wind. Jansen has evencreated a way for his beasts to “eat” the air, and store its powerby pressurizing bottles. This stored power also allows the sculptures to detect when they have entered the water and change their direction. He has even devised a method for them to stop themselves in the sand if a storm is approaching!The beauty of these creations is that they have no electronic parts, yet they have a basic logic system that helps them walk in their habitat. Jansen’s creations look alive as they move with a steady, even motion on the hard sand. Every year, he improves his designs. 68Jansen’s kinetic sculptures use an innovative design to transform simple motions into amazing works of art. The Strandbeests have a mechanical linkage that creates a walking motion using triangles (三角形物体). The sculptures are large but have a delicate appearance. The fascinating combinations of thin tubes and fine fin-like (像鳍一样的) sails moving in the breeze create a striking image. One could easily believe they are some sort of strange lifeform walking along the beach. 69 He created a beast, named Animaris Rhinoceros Lignatus, which was made out of wood and weighed 250 kilograms.70 There are many artists that use motion to create spectacular visual effects. Some are large pieces, but many can sit on a desk or hang on a wall. However, they all have one thing in common: you can’t appreciate their artistry until you see them move. Jansen also sells mini versions of some of his beasts. They come in boxes that you can assemble without any special tools. You, too, can try your hand at creating kinetic art!IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Train Your BrainWhen was the last time something important slipped your mind? Fortunately, memory can be improved. People’s ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice.When students want to prepare for a test, they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc. But these methods of remembering are not always effective. People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it. One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to engage with the material in different ways. For example, you could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it.My music instructor said that it’s better to practice for five minutes a day, seven days a week, than for two hours on one day. The same goes for remembering information. The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information, the more likely you are to remember it.A psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it—which means they remember more. So it is essential to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. Over time, you can review them less and less frequently.Applying these strategies will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.V.

Since the 1960s, U.S. commercial aviation has become significantly more complex, and yet, flying has become safer. What lies behind this remarkable trend is a handful of smart approaches to 43 . Here are two of them.1.Teach people to speak up—and to listenA common error during airplane accidents used to be the 44 of first officers to question the captain's poor decisions. When the captain was flying the airplane, he was hard to challenge, and his mistakes went 45 .All this began to change in the late 1970s with a training program known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). The program revolutionized the 46 not just of the cockpit (机舱)but also of the whole industry. It reframed safety as a 47 issue and put all crew members on more equal footing. It was no longer 48 to question the decisions of a superior; it was required. And CRM taught crew members the language of disagreement.The lesson isn't simply that people lower down in the 49 should speak up and higher-ups should listen.

It was a project of researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Apple, the American technology company, provided money for the study. Results were recently presented at（B ）宅 TV Voice Pro®Designed by Hearing Specialists @ FEATURES WITH THE TV VOICE PRO AIR SYSTEM◊◊◊a special offer, Readers Digest readers can use Gift Visit to order online or over the phone on 415 277-2026.30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEEa major conference on heart health in New Orleans, Louisiana.The researchers looked for signs of atrial fibrillation, also called "a-fib", the most common form of irregular heartbeat. Some people with a-fib feel changes in their heartbeat, while others do not. Because of this, many people do not know they have the condition. People with untreated a-fib are about five times more likely to suffer a stroke（中风）. In the United States, a-fib causes an estimated 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations each year.People taking part in the study wore the Apple Watch for extended periods. The devices contain an app that continuously gathers information without users having to do anything. It uses the watch's light sensor technology to measure blood flow. The system is designed to identify changes that might show an irregular heartbeat.The researchers said that out of those taking part, about 2,000 subjects（实验对象）received a warning from the device that they might have a problem. Those individuals were then asked to contact a doctor, who decided whether they should receive more close watch for a possible irregular heartbeat.Lloyd Minor, head of Stanford's School of Medicine, said in a statement that the results show great promise in using technology to create "more predictive and preventive health care". Doctor Minor added that a-fib is just one example of a condition devices can help identify in the future. "This study opens the door to further research into wearable technologies and how they might be used to prevent disease before it strikes, "he said.But some health researchers warned against making any general judgements based on the Apple-financed study. They have called for much more research to measure the effectiveness of wearable devices to identify signs of disease. Richard Kovacs, who was with the American College of Cardiology and was not involved with the study, told the Associated Press that despite the results, the Apple Watch system "is not perfect. He noted that since the study did not have a comparison group getting regular ECG measurements, there is no way of knowing if the device missed heartbeat problems. This could give users a false sense of security, he said.Other experts agreed that more studies are needed before similar device-based health observation systems are widely recommended.63.What does the new study mainly find out?A.Apple Watch can warn of heart problems.B. Apple Watch can protect people against a-fib.C. Abnormal heart rates can cause a stroke.D. Heart problems can be identified and cured.64.Apple Watch identifies irregular heartbeats by .A.measuring the wearer's heart ratesB. sending information to the wearer through an appC. extending the time of wearing itD. monitoring the wearer's bloodstream65.Which of the following might be what Lloyd Minor means in his statement?A.Ifs difficult for doctors to predict and prevent disease now.B.A-fib is just one example of a condition that causes heart problems.C.Wearable technologies might identify and treat any disease one day.D.There are more possibilities of development in wearable technology.66.It can be concluded from the passage that .A.wearable technologies are developing fast but shouldn't be applied to medicineB.the study results are inspiring but more proofs are needed to ensure the accuracyC.the study is sponsored by a commercial company so the results are a little unfairD.device-based health observation systems are convenient and should be widely usedSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Sculpture with a Life of Its OwnThere is a new type of animal that has been walking along the beaches since the 1990s. They are called Strandbeest, which is Dutch for beach beast. 67 They are creations of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, and they can move ' themselves using nothing more than the power of the wind. Jansen has even created a way for his beasts to "eat" the air, and store its power by pressurizing bottles. This stored power also allows the sculptures to detect when they have entered the water and change their direction. He has even devised a method for them to stop themselves in the sand if a storm is approaching!The beauty of these creations is that they have no electronic parts, yet they have a basic logic system that helps them walk in their habitat. Jansen's creations look alive as they move with a steady, even motion on the hard sand. Every year, he improves his designs. 68Jansen's kinetic sculptures use an innovative design to transform simple motions into amazing works of art. The Strandbeests have a mechanical linkage that creates a walking motion using triangles（三角形物体）.The sculptures are large but have a delicate appearance. The fascinating combinations of thin tubes and fine fin-like（像鳍一样的）sails moving in the breeze create a striking image. One could easily believe they are some sort of strange lifeform walking along the beach. 69 He created a beast, named Animaris Rhinoceros Lignatus, which was made out of wood and weighed 250 kilograms.70 There are many artists that use motion to create spectacular visual effects. Some are large pieces, but many can sit on a desk or hang on a wall. However, they all have one thing in common: you can't appreciate their artistry until you see them move. Jansen also sells mini versions of some of his beasts. They come in boxes that you can assemble without any special tools. You, too, can try your hand at creating kinetic art!IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Train Your Brain71.When was the last time something important slipped your mind? Fortunately, memory can be improved. People's ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice.When students want to prepare for a test, they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc. But these methods of remembering are not always effective. People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it. One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes. It also helps to try to engage with the material in different ways. For example, you could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it.My music instructor said that it's better to practice for five minutes a day, seven days a week, than for two hours on one day. The same goes for remembering information. The more you spread out the time you spend reviewing information, the more likely you are to remember it.A psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern. They forget the most information shortly after learning it. The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it—which means they remember more. So it is essential to review things you want to remember shortly after learning them. Over time, you can review them less and less frequently.Applying these strategies will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72,足不出户，你就可以在网上逛遍全球各大博物馆。

Chinese students who will go to the US to have summer coursesBWhen you hear the word "hero", you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi, who spent his life working for his country. But there are also many everyday heroes—they may not make any great achievements, but they do what they can to help make a difference to peoples lives. Everyday heroes are normal people who are making the world a better place. One such person is Robert lee.Lee grew up in New York City. As he lived in a poor family, he learned from a young age the importance of saving food. When he was in college, he was part of a student group that raised leftover (剩余的) food for the homeless. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food waste actually was.After graduating from New York University, Lee and a college friend created a nonprofit (非盈利的) organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Its purpose is to collect unsold food from restaurants and offer it to homeless shelters (庇护处) and food kitchens.The process is simple. Using an app developed by Lee and his team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day, and then volunteers collect the food from these restaurants and deliver (投递) it to homeless shelters and food kitchens. In the end, the food will be delivered to those in need. Lee believes this is a very good way of delivery.So far, Lee and his team have successfully delivered over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown how we can take small action to improve the lives of people around us. But Lee says that his work is far from over, “It's just the beginning. With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do?”19. Robert Lee realized the importance of reducing (减少) food waste because of his_______.A. great abilityB. kind characterC. study experienceD. family background20. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to________.A. volunteersB. restaurantsC. Lee and his teamD. people in need21. Which of the following is the correct process of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine?①People in need of food receive food from homeless shelters or food kitchens.②A volunteer accepts the delivery job by picking up unsold food from the restaurant.③The volunteer delivers the leftover food to homeless shelters or food kitchens.④A restaurant reports how much food they have left each day through an app by Lee's team.A.①②③④B.①④②③C.④②③①D.④③①②22. What might be the best title for this passage?A. Nonprofit OrganizationB. An Everyday HeroC. The Importance of Saving FoodD. The Problem of Food WasteCWhile mothers look forward to Mother's Day, sellers expect the holiday even more. That's because the money spent on meals, flowers, and other presents adds up to billions of dollars, and the spending keeps increasing year after year.Not surprisingly, gifts like rings and necklaces top the list with a $4.6 billion. Trips come in second of $4.4 billion. $2.6 billion will go towards buying flowers. Others include clothing($2.1 billion), electronics(S2.1 billion), and personal services.Though motherhood has been celebrated across the world for centuries, this official (官方的) US holiday started because of the hard work of Anna Jarvis. She came up with the idea in 1905 to honor moms for the hard work they do for their families. The first celebration in 1908 at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia, was such a success that Jarvis made up her mind to make the holiday a national holiday. To achieve her goal, she started a writing campaign (运动) to newspapers and lawmakers about the importance of a special day to honor mothers. While many states, towns, and churches had accepted the holiday by 1912, it took another two years for President Woodrow Wilson to set the second Sunday in May as official Mother's Day.However, soon after the holiday became official, sellers got the opportunity to market their products. Jarvis was not pleased with this. So she spent years speaking out and fighting against the “profiteers (投机商)”While Mother's Day has become increasingly commercial (商业的), most moms would choose spending time with their families and a break from daily chores over going to expensivestores to buy things. So on Mother's Day this year, do something thoughtful like making breakfast or doing laundry, and more importantly, spend time with your mom and give her a hug!23. According to Paragraph 2, people are most likely to spend their money on______on Mother's day.A. tripsB. flowersC. clothingD. rings and necklaces24. The third paragraph mainly tells us how________.A. Anna Jarvis thanked her motherB. the writing campaign was organizedC. Mother's Day became an official holidayD. President Woodrow Wilson honored mothers25. Jarvis was unhappy with the holiday later because she_______.A. wanted to start a better holidayB. failed to make the holiday popularC. found it hard to get it accepted by peopleD. got disappointed at the way of celebration26. We can infer from the last paragraph that most momsA. prefer cooking at home to eating outsideB. expect surprising gifts from their childrenC. consider daily housework really great pleasureD. consider Mother's Day a chance to stay with familiesDThe widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (年长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the advantages that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 255 million in 2020, about 17.9% of China's population. But only 23% of them were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the senior citizens are not able to enjoy the digital (数字的) advantages.Many senior citizens who can't use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (疫情). Even with a smartphone in hand and the Internet, many of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps. It is reported that many shops refused to serveelders who don’t know how to pay by smartphones, instead of letting them pay in cash (现金). Worse still, as they don't know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places.New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those who live in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don't live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones. There are different reasons for this. Some senior citizens can't afford smartphones. Others may feel it difficult to learn new things like using smartphones. The digital gap (差距) between the elderly and the young is becoming bigger.However, the elderly should not become a silent group who are kept away from new technologies. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.27. The numbers in Paragraph 2 show that_______.A. three fourths of the elders can't afford smartphonesB. there are a small number of senior citizens in ChinaC. only 17.9% of the senior citizens can use the smartphonesD. many elders fail to enjoy the convenience of new technologies28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most elders need help in how to use the appsB. It's a must for everyone to have a smartphoneC. Cash is no longer accepted in the shops in ChingoD. Many shops refuse to offer service to senior citizens29. According to the passage, the writer may feel________ about the situation of senior citizens.A. excitedB. worriedC. surprisedD. angry30. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A. To show new technologies to senior citizens.B. To encourage senior citizens to learn new technologies.C. To raise money for poor senior citizens to buy smartphones.D. To call on people to help senior citizens with new technologies.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有五处(第31-35题)需要添加首句.请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的首句。
