AA common overbooking problem on a United Airlines flight on Sunday ended with a man being bloodied and dragged from his seat and an already troubled airline earning more bad press. How did it all go so wrong?Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling too many tickets. In this case, the problem arose because United decided at the last minute to fly four members of staff to a connection point and needed to bump four passengers to make way for them.When there’s an overbooking issue the firs t step is to offer an inducement to the passengers to take a later flight. On Sunday passengers were offered $400, a hotel room for the night, and a flight the following afternoon. When no-one took the offer, the amount was upped to $800. Still no-one bit, so a manager boarded the flight and informed passengers that four people would be selected to leave the flight.That selection is based on several factors, but frequent fliers and higher fare-paying passengers are given priority to stay aboard, a spokeswoman for United confirmed.A couple who were selected agreed to leave the plane voluntarily. A third passenger, reportedly the wife of the man who was forcibly removed, also agreed. The man, who said he was a doctor and had to see patients in the morning, refused. An airline manager told him that security would be called if he did not obey. their conversation ended with the man being yanked from his seat onto the floor and dragged off, blood visible on his face.United Airlines CEO said the airline would review the event and reach out to the passenger, but the spokeswoman could not confirm whether United was in touch with him yet.1. Why does overbooking on flights always occur?A. United bumped four passengers to spare seats for its staff.B. Airlines expect to earn as much money as possible.C. Airlines want to make up for a loss of empty seats.D. It happens by accident.2. What can we inferred about the selection mentioned in the text?A. People are selected at random by the computer.B. Frequent fliers will never be asked to leave.C. The selected doctor may be the low fare-paying passengers or not a frequent flier.D. The selected passengers will be offered no money.3. Which of the following statements about four passengers is true?A. Four people were directly selected to leave at first.B. The couple of the doctor agreed to leave voluntarily.C. The doctor was dragged off without any hurt.D. The doctor refused to leave because he had to see his patient next morning.4. What does the underlined part “reach out to” in Paragraph 6 refers to?A. Get in contact withB. Make up forC. Apologize toD. Team up withBThe days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred t o as “Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotels every day. Yuanqing Lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you don’t nee d to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidu’s system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of data--- more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by someone holding up a mask.Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.5. What can be learnt about the facial recognition technology from the passage?A. The technology could soon be a thing of the past.B. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.C. The technology can match visitors’ faces with those in the databaseD. The technology is being used to track where the 5,000 visitors are going.6. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “stunnin g” in paragraph 2?A. popularB. attractiveC. brilliantD. funny7. How does Wuzhen monitor its visitors now?A. By using facial recognition technologyB. By using a ticket-entry systemC. By using ID cardD. By using tickets8. What is the passage mainly about?A. Facial recognition is widely used in China.B. Baidu, a web firm, is using the recognition system.C. Chinese tourist town Wuzhen is using facial recognition.D. Wuzen is a popular tourist town with many visitors going there to see the system.CAbout three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled approach of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.But recent months have seen a repopulality of the humble bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-up company like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level. According to data shown by iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage on purpose and theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.9. Why did the two-wheeled approach of transport become less popular?A. Because China is no longer a bicycle kingdom.B. Because cycling is not convenient.C. Because fuel-powered competitors were replaced by riding.D. Because mostly driving took the place of cycling.10. What can we learn from the passage?A. The bike’s popularity began to fade.B. Only Ofo and Mobike created the trend to a new level of using bikes.C. The shared bikes offer a useful approach to the final leg problem.D. The company rewarded some money and free time to the users.11. What is the best title of this passage?A. the new mode of humble bikesB. the development of humble bikesC. the advantages of humble bikesD. the issue of humble bikesDThere are often many assumptions made about young people aged 15 to 21, but only a few can be proved with hard evidence. Now, new research has been published to help people get a better idea of these misunderstood young people.According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging economies like China and India have a greater sense of hope about the future, compared with those living in Europe, North America and Australia.The survey was carried out between September and October by the Varkey Foundation, a UK-based non-profit organization. It surveyed 20,000 young people who were born between 1995 to 2001 in 20 countries. They were asked questions about their hopes, ambitions, personal views and community values.It was found that 53 percent of those questioned in China thought the world was becoming a better place – the highest percentage among the countries surveyed. Some 93 percent of them also felt hopeful for the future because of advances in technology, such as in medicine, renewable energy and computing.Indian youth were the second most optimistic, with 49 percent taking a positive view of the world’s prospects.As for young people in China, what they fear most is the impact of climate change – some 82 percent of those who responded to the survey said so. Vikas Pota, chief executive of the Varkey Foundation, said it was encouraging that young people in China were aware how serious the problem of climate change is.“This is surely a hopeful development. The young population of China is more aware than anyone of the seriousness of the climate crisis –and will be pressing for change,” he told South China Morning Post. The overall survey showed a sense of optimism in the attitudes and opinions of the generation that is likely to shape the next few decades, according to Pota.“They are more likely to travel, to migrate across borders and to build friendships in other countries than any previous generation,” he said. “Global citizenship is not dead. It could just be getting started.”12. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Young people often have better ideas.B. Young people are better than assumed.C. Young people are always misunderstood.D. Assumptions about young people are hard to prove.13. The survey shows us that _______.A. about half of the Chinese youth are positive about the future.B. 49% Indians take a positive view of the world’s prospects.C. Chinese youth are the most optimistic about the future.D. European youth have no hope for the future.14. What was Pota’s attitude towards Chinese youth?A. satisfiedB. criticalC. objectiveD. worried15. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Chinese youth misunderstoodB. Chinese youth encouragingC. Chinese youth pessimisticD. Chinese youth optimistic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。

While the game clearly has many fans, not everyone thinks the latest Pokemon fever is a good thing.To play Pokemon GO, users follow maps on their phones that show virtual (虚拟的) animals, called Pokemon, in real-life places. Players have to walk around those places in search of Pokemon and try to catch as many as possible, which attracts kids most.Fans of the game say it gets kids off the sofas and encourages them to play in new places and make new friends. That’s what Christine Elgersma, a senior app editor (编辑), thinks about it. And some educators are finding that Pokemon GO can also improve kids’ map skills.Brain scientist Kristen Race says that kids pay so much attention to their phones that it doesn’t matter that they are outside. She warns that Pokemon GO gets in the way of real imaginative play. She argues that “even though a child may be playing this game outside, his brain is working in the same way it would as if he were spending hours inside. ”There are some risks in playing Pokemon GO as well. Being distracted because of the game is one of the biggest dangers. People have walked into things, fallen down, and even been hit by cars while playing.Elgersma says there are plenty of things kids can do to stay safe while playing Pokemon GO. She advises kids to discuss with their parents what they are allowed to do before playing. They should also pay careful attention to their surroundings (环境)and avoid talking to strangers. Finally, they should limit the amount of time they spend playing.“Just like every other game, Pokemon GO should be used in balance with other things,” says Elgersma. “If it is, it can be a really great way for a family to have fun together.”12. The greatest joy of playing Pokemon GO for kids is .A. to learn knowledge of geography on mapsB. to look for Pokemon here and there and catch themC. to hide themselves and not to be found by PokemonD. to travel around the world without going out of their rooms13. In the opinion of the Kristen Race, .A. kids had better play Pokemon GO outsideB. Pokemon GO is a big disaster for a familyC. parents should encourage kids to play Pokemon GOD. Pokemon GO can’t really develop kids’ imaginat ion14. The underlined word“distracted”in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“.”A. unfocusedB. intelligentC. amazedD. foolish15. What do we know about Pokemon GO?A. It is only popular with adults.B. It can make kids fond of taking exercise.C. It is dangerous for players in some way.D. It probably sets up a home in people’s garden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。

In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it inmy diary.”This side of paradise, h is f irst n ovel, w as p ublished i n 1920. E ncouraged（鼓励）by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continuedwith the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thalesof the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success wasthe novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise（赞美）from the literary world（文学界）. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security（财政担保）. T hen, i n 1926, h e p ublished a nother c ollection o f s hort s toriesAll the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect（影响）on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wifehad her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940.

AGlynis Davis:I first piled on the ponds when I w as in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost30 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 m y 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.

Itseemed 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. Instead, 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 Slimmer of the Year. I’d look in the mirror 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.

It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help keep healthy: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enoug h sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.12.

In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged（鼓励） by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise （赞美） from the literary world（文学界）.

Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips——of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little bo because I’ve got two ice pacs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor（捐献者）to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I piced up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then bac to London. But when I arrived at the chec-in des at Providence, the lady on the des said “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you－there are no flights from Washington.”So I too my bo and put it on the des and I said “In this bo are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient－please, please, you’ve got to get me bac to the United ingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed（改道）me through Newar and got me bac to the U even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that bo you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier”in Paragraph 1?A. provider.B. delivery man.C. collector.D. medical doctor.5. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that much time.D. The ice won’t last any longer.6. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To London.B. To Newar.C. To Providence.D. To Washington.7. According to paragraph two, which of the following word can be used to describe the woman?A. helpful.B. selfish.C. Easy-going.D. optimistic.COne form of social prejudice（偏见）against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modem technology. Activities lie playing computer games, going on the Internet and downloading MP3s arc only for the young. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sities and seventies feeling fit and active alter retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical eercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of eercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever operate it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing pule games and card games. ate Stevens, aged 72, says “I find it very relaing. It’s not very challenging, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored “grey games”is a change in the type of video games available on the maret. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectualand comple strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as eeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers”simply don’t have the sills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most puter games require the ind of analytical thining that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers”may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction times. On the other hand, “grey gamers”have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.8. 7 he second paragraph is intended to .A. show the best way to eercise the brainB. stress the importance of good healthC. eplain why grey gamers eistD. teach how to play videogames9. What was older people’s attitude towards personal computers at first ?A. DoubtfulB. ConcernedC. EnthusiasticD. Supportive10. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is .A. offering analysesB. giving eamplesC. maing comparisonsD. providing details11. By saying “T his couldn’t be further from the truth.”in Paragraph 5, the author means .A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB. children should improve their sills with practiceC. playing computer games requires analytical thiningD. older people can perform well in some computer gamesDI was an introvert（内向的人）by nature. For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smilewhen meeting someone had never been easy. The ey to a sincere smile however, is simple. It’s for someone to feel ecited. But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, instead of being ecited, I often felt upset.But we all now friends are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you will get, whether it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to mae others feel comfortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”The smile I’m now taling about is not to mae a face to cashiers（收银员）or waiters. I’m taling about those wide smiles you mae when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a tric. And I call this technique（技巧）“Oh, it’s Jamie!”When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were still ids. It’s no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly mae. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly in return. You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually bacs this claim. So do remember to give it a try.Three years ago at the age of 23, I too a long hard loo at my life and decided that I was nothing. Tired of my life, I set about maing dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My success reflects（显示）that nothing is too difficult if you try bravely.12. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the author .A. found it difficult to show a sincere smile to peopleB. felt ecited but nervous when meeting peopleC. became an introvert because of his surroundingsD. didn’t want to smile at others13. What do we now from Mother Teresa’s words in Paragraph 2?A. We can’t live without the help of our friends.B. A smile is important to mae others feel comfortable.C. Many people don’t now the importance of a smile.D. People who always smile are sure to have many friends.14. Which of the following sayings can we infer from the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Every road leads to Rome.C A good beginning is half success. D. Try and try, never say die.15. The author writes this passage mainly to .A. tell us how to mae friendsB. tell us how he achieves successC. encourage us to perfect our smileD. describe what a sincere smile is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。
