friendly and special houses that save energy andwater．An organization called the Earth Day Network encourages people to use clean energy which doesn’t pollute the environment．Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels （化石燃料） that are found underground．Coal， oil and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels．Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago．Burning fossil fuels to create energy pollutes the air and water．Many scientists think that burning fossil fuels also increases the temperature of the earth．To reduce the use of fossil fuels．scientists are experimenting with hydrogen-powered （氢化发动的）cars．These cars don’t pollute the air like gas-powered cars．Some scientists guess that by 2025, fossil fuels will run out．When people can no longer use gasoline， they may use fuel cells instead．Fuel cells use hydrogen to create energy．People do not need to worry about hydrogen running out， because it is renewable and replaceable．In Washington，D．C．， a

the “use by” date．2．Food．It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of nonperishable （不易腐烂的）food on hand．Have an enough supply of canned food， powdered milk， dried fruits, nonsalted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours．3．Flashlights （手电筒） and spare batteries．Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car．Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until

You live together in the same house and have the same parents.46．Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.First-born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born as any other child. Parents tend to give them more responsibility.47．As a result, first-borns are often responsible, hard-working and serious. They often want to do well at school and work.48．For example, George W. Bush, GeorgeWashington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson are all first-borns.When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child is allowed to be more independent. But he also has to compete with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to show independence.49．They are often adventurous, fun-loving, and outgoing, but can be jealous and get angry easily.The youngest child tends to be the happiest. He has fewer responsibilities and more freedom. These children do not feel pressure to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. 50．So, many famous talk-show hosts and comedians were born last.A．There are more first-born American Presidents than second or last-born children. B．They are often friendly，humorous and calm.C．But you have different personalities.D．Their parents may probably love them more.E.And they develop different personalities.F.They depend on the first-borns to take care of younger brothers and sisters.五、补全对话6选5根据下面的对话内容，从对话前方框中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Americans say “screen time” when they talk about any time children spend in front of an electronic device.

And avoid using media as a way to comfort your child.λ For children two to five years of age, allow one-hour screen time on “high-quality（质量）programming” a dayand watch it with your child.λFor children aged 6 and older, don’t spend too much time using media. Also, make sure that screen time does not take the place of healthy sleep, exercising, doing homework and other activities.λ Make sure to have media-free time together as a family, such as dinner or driving. Also make some areas of the home media-free. Turn off you child’s electronic devices an hour before bedtime.11．What is “screen time” according to Americans?A．A kind of timing system（系统）.B．A survey on electronic mediaC．Any time children spend in front of electronic media.D．Any electronic device children like to play with12．What did AAP do in 2019 after?A．They gave some practical suggestions.B．They told parents how to reduce their children’s screen time.C．They trained many child care workers.D．They raised much money to stop children using electronic devices.13．How do parents deal with the screen time for children two to five years of age?A．Choose proper programs and watch with them., B．Play with them for at least one hour.C．Avoid letting them watch TV., D．Don’t worry about th em.14．How does AAP explain too much screen time?A．An hour or more every day., B．Using too many electronic devices.C．Screen time takes the place of other activities, D．Using electronic media to comfort the children.15．What is media-free time?A．It is the time you can use media freely., B．It is the time you cook or drive.C．It is the time to be with your family., D．It is the time you stay away from electronic devices.An invention in front of your eyesWhat is the most important invention of all time? Is it the written word that helps us to record information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite different. He says the most important invention might be bright in front of your eyes. He is talking about a simple pair glasses.Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way to read. Before glasses, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age.People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it.

In 1790, many opera troupes(戏班)went to Beijing for performances to celebrate the birthday of Qianlong. This kind of unusual performance touched the hearts of the people deeply. While in Beijing, the troupes created a new kind of opera called Beijing Opera. It was on the basis(基础)of Anhui Opera by taking in the advantages of other operas.Beijing Opera is quite unique(唯一的)in role shaping because it divides the roles into different kinds. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou which are quite different in many ways.A popular song goes like this, “Foreigners call Jingxi Beijing Opera.”In fact, Beijing Opera is different from opera. Opera tells the story and expresses the thoughts by singing instead of speaking. But Beijjing Opera stresses(强调)chang, nian, zuo and da. Chang means singing; nian means musical spoken parts; zuo means dance movements and da means martial(武打)skills.Mei Lanfang is an excellent performing artist of Beijing Opera in China. In 1930, he led an opera troupe to America and presented Beijing Opera before western people. Today, Beijing Opera has become the sign of Chinese culture. It is changing with the development of different musical styles.16．Beijing Opera appeared in the ________Dynasty.A．Song B．Yuan C．Ming D．Qing17．Beijing Opera was created by ________.A．performing in Beijing B．touching the hearts of the peopleC．celebrating Qialong’s birthday D．taking in the advantages of other operas18．There are four important kinds of ________in Beijing Opera.A．roles B．styles C．shapes D．signs19．In Beijing Opera, _________means dance movements.A．nian B．zuo C．da D．chang20．Which of the following is RIGHT?A．Beijing Opera is the same as opera.B．Opera expresses the thoughts by speaking.C．Beijing Opera has never changed until now.D．Mei Lanfang thought Beijing Opera to the world.Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.The traveler, who was born with a congenital bone disease（先天性骨病）, lost her right leg at the age of four. Although she had a hard time at first, she now thinks that nothing can stop her living her best life.To spread that message, Gallagher shares photos of her travels around the world online, and writes her location across her artificial leg（假肢）before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across Europe, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design（设计）on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard,”Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother didn’t like the idea, but my friends liked it and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stared when she was writing on her leg. But once she shared the photos, she received only positive feedback（正面反馈）. “My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,and I’ve been able to keep up with my peers（同龄人）and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.

It can reach up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and painful decision.When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak(鸟嘴，喙) becomes bent(弯曲的). Its long and once flexible(灵活的) talons(爪) can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle has only two choices: to die or to go through a painful time of change which needs five months.When the eagle feels weak and is about to die, it goes to a place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.Like the eagle, we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty. In terrible condition, we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can’t go on with all our past burdens(重负).Judge the following sentences true(T) or false(F) according to the passage.11．When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak is still straight.12．For a new life, the eagle knocks its talons against a rock.13．If the eagle doesn’t change itself, it won’t have a new life.14．It takes the eagle five years to get its rebirth.15．The writer’s idea is that we can’t go on with all our past burdens., 三、回答问题In 2014, the world paused to remember a cultural giant on April 17. Nobel Prize winning writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez died on that day at the age of 87.Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia (哥伦比亚), but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers. He is best known for his novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude (《百年孤独》). It tells the story of a family over several generations. The story is a metaphor (暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19th century. The novel has sold about 50 million copies.He wrote in a style called “magical realism (魔幻现实主义)”This style blends (融合) fantasy and reality. In such works, people live regular lives during a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.In Garcia Marquez’s works, a child is born with a pig’s tail, and a couple finds an old man withbig wings in their courtyard. He said he was inspired by childhood stories told by his grandmother. She believed that everything was possible. She often told him stories about ghosts in their house.But his works are quite serious. He wrote during a period when much of Latin America was suffering from a civil war. Everyday life in Colombia was filled with chaos (混乱). That’s why magical realism works well.16．Where was Garcia Marquez born?_________________________________________________________________________________17．What is he famous for?_________________________________________________________________________________18．Did the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude sell well?_________________________________________________________________________________19．What is his writing style called?_________________________________________________________________________________20．Who influenced his writing style?_________________________________________________________________________________, 四、多任务混合问题Almost every child in cities has the chance to go to school, but not all children in the countryside are so lucky.There is a girl called Xiao Juan. She is ten years old and lives in a small village. 83.When she was seven, she wanted to go to school__But she could not, because her family was too poor to afford the school fees(学费) for her, so her parents had to keep her at home. Instead of studying, Xiao Juan looked after her brother and worked in the fields every day. Then Hope Project heard about Xiao Juan. It agreed to help Xiao Juan to go to school. 99.Her wish of study came true, and now she is studying in a school.Unluckily, there are many thousands of children who can not go to school.

But he was never in the park. His parents were always working. He used to spend much time in his home library while Joana did the housework.Daniel was very sad, as for most of the day he was alone with Joana. His parents were never at home. Joana was always trying to ask the boy to go out and play with the other kids, but he never went out.One day, a ball, which a group of kids were playing happily with in the park, came through the window into Daniel's library. The kids rang the door bell and Daniel opened it with the ball in his hands." Can we have our ball back, please?”asked one of the kids. Daniel didn't even care aboutthe broken window and gave them the ball back and smiled. "What's your name?" asked Sarah,one of the girls, "Come and play with us." “I can't," said Daniel.When his parents arrived home and saw him crying, they talked to him about his feelings and knew how sad he was because they were working all day long. And so they decided to solve the problem.From that day on they tried to spend more time with Daniel. They began to go to the park every afternoon where Daniel made lots of friends and was very happy to be with his parents.16．The underlined word "nanny" means _________ in Chinese.A．老师B．医生C．保姆D．教练17．Daniel was very sad because _________.A．he had to read a lot of books every day B．his parents were too busy to play with him C．Joana always stopped him from going out D．other kids didn't want to play football with him 18．The kids rang the door bell _________.A．to ask for their ball in Daniel's library B．to see if Daniel's parents were at homeC．to give Daniel money for the broken window D．to borrow some books from Daniel19．After knowing why Daniel cried，his parents probably say“_________ ”A．Joana can play with you in the afternoon.

But sometimes I can also experience embarrassingmoments.One day，I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow，Russia. The restaurant was almost full of people，but it was very quiet. My friend and I were very excited about our meeting. We were having a lively chat until the waiter told me that we were too loud. We lowered our voices. But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us again with the same message. I felt embarrassed.We must have left a bad impression on the local people. It's so difficult to fight against habits like this. In China，it seems only natural and even important for a host to create a lively atmosphere. However，in Russia，having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice down to be polite to others. Anyway，we were not in our home country，so we believe this is the best for us: When in Rome，do as the Romans do.Cultural differences do not only involve eating habits. I also found another special Russian habit.My Russian friend Andrey would always look around and think for a while before leaving home. I asked him，"Is that a ceremony or something？”“Aha，”Andrey said，“in Russia many people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home so that they won't leave anything necessary behind. ”Finding cultural differences can always bring you new and surprising experiences. And I would like to keep my eyes and mind open.21．What does the writer think is fun as a visiting scholar？A．To experience some embarrassing moments. B．To look for the cultural differences.C．To meet friends in local restaurants. D．To go sightseeing around a foreign country.22．What does the underlined word “embarrassing”mean in Chinese？A．令人焦虑的B．令人尴尬的C．令人激动的D．令人羡慕的23．Russian people look around and think for a while before leaving home in order to __________.

But as soon as you turn a corner, you '11 find yourself at the end of a very long queue. It's another traffic jam! Meanwhile, in Antarctica(南极洲), snow covers the land. A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm, using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection?Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new research. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(涌动) through the whole group of penguins like a "traveling wave".These waves also help the smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic "traffic jam" has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology once used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. It included studying time-lapse(延时) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.With temperatures usually dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In a big group, they learn to be orderly and patient, and never to crash into each other. These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are on the road!11．According to the passage, emperor penguins get together to .A．keep warm B．play games C．learn from each otherA．drivers can drive fast B．drivers can drive carelesslyC．cars cannot move fastA．caused by a traffic jam on the roadB．caused by the strong winds in AntarcticaC．formed by the movement of penguinsA．needs to move orderly B．can move as fast as it likesC．will not leave others behindA．penguins won't move together if they are not very coldB．traffic jams happen probably because people are patientC．we human beings should learn from penguinsTwenty-five years ago, most young people in Britain wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company(电子通信公司), the “dream job”of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a videoblogger( 视频博主), or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put “vlogger”as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.This change is undoubtedly the result of the Internet and social media(社交媒体). They have made it so much easier to reach audiences worldwide, without having to choose the job as actors in the traditional way.“In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood Studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon,”a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(互动) with their fans about everyday life.”However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful can achieve fame and wealth. For every success there are a hundred others who have never been known.This is why although vloggers are in fashion now, some young people chose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.16．Which of the following is NOT an easy way of being known by others according to the passage?A．To be an actor. B．To be a vlogger. C．To be a doctor.17．Some young people choose jobs that don’t earn them fame because________. A．they know success never comes easilyB．they believe being vloggers is their first choiceC．they are not confident18．Why are vloggers the big stars of today?A．Because they are normal people interacting with their fans about big events. B．Because they are common people communicating with their fans about daily life. C．Because they never interact with their fans.19．What does the underlined word “icon”in this passage mean?A．偶像B．图标C．肖像20．From the story, we learn that________.A．Internet can never be made good use ofB．most young people in Britain today wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singingC．only those vloggers who get success can be famous and wealthyThink of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳) back.But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?Don’t look down on your worth by comparing(对比) yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Don’t let other people set goals(目标) for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly(紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t be afraid to learn.

But as soon as you turn a corner, you '11 find yourself at the end of a very long queue. It's another traffic jam! Meanwhile, in Antarctica(南极洲), snow covers the land.A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm, using stop-and-go movements to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection?Emperor penguins move like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new research. A penguin only needs to move 2cm in any direction for its neighbor to do the same thing. These movements then flow(涌动) through the whole group of penguins like a "traveling wave". These waves also help the smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more of their friends warm. A single Antarctic "traffic jam" has thousands of penguins. Interestingly, the technology once used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. It included studying time-lapse(延时) videos. Scientists also discovered that unlike on the road, these waves can be made by any penguin and in any direction.With temperatures usually dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200km/h, these traveling waves are very important for penguins to keep warm.These penguins can also teach us a lesson. In a big group, they learn to be orderly and patient, and never to crash into each other. These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are on the road!11．According to the passage, emperor penguins get together to .A．keep warm B．play games C．learn from each otherA．drivers can drive fast B．drivers can drive carelessly C．cars cannot move fastA．caused by a traffic jam on the roadB．caused by the strong winds in AntarcticaC．formed by the movement of penguinsA．needs to move orderly B．can move as fast as it likes C．will not leave others behindA．penguins won't move together if they are not very coldB．traffic jams happen probably because people are patientC．we human beings should learn from penguinsTwenty-five years ago, most young people in Britain wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company(电子通信公司), the “dream job”of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger( 视频博主), or “vlogger”.The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as many as 40 percent of them put“vlogger”as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.This change is undoubtedly the result of the Internet and social media(社交媒体). They have made it so much easier to reach audiences worldwide, without having to choose the job as actors in the traditional way.“In years gone by, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood Studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon,”a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said. “Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting(互动) with their fans about everyday life.”However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful can achieve fame and wealth. For every success there are a hundred others who have never been known.This is why although vloggers are in fashion now, some young people chose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.16．Which of the following is NOT an easy way of being known by others according to thepassage?A．To be an actor. B．To be a vlogger. C．To be a doctor.17．Some young people choose jobs that don’t earn them fame because________.A．they know success never comes easilyB．they believe being vloggers is their first choiceC．they are not confident18．Why are vloggers the big stars of today?A．Because they are normal people interacting with their fans about big events.B．Because they are common people communicating with their fans about daily life. C．Because they never interact with their fans.19．What does the underlined word “icon”in this passage mean?A．偶像B．图标C．肖像20．From the story, we learn that________.A．Internet can never be made good use ofB．most young people in Britain today wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, to take up singing C．only those vloggers who get success can be famous and wealthyThink of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work,family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳) back.But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?Don’t look down on your worth by comparing(对比) yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Don’t let other people set goals(目标) for you. Only you know what is best for yourself. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly(紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.21．The passage tells us not to ________ because everyone is special.A．look down on your worth by comparing yourself with othersB．be afraid to learnC．run through life so fast22．The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.”means that“________.”A．Nothing is possibleB．If we don’t give up, there is alway s hopeC．You should learn to give up23．Why can’t we use time carelessly?A．Because time is too expensive.B．Because time never returns.C．Because we are too poor.24．If you run through life so fast, you will ________.A．lose your own treasure that you can always carry easilyB．lose love by holding it too tightlyC．forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going25．According to the passage, which is the best title?A．Nothing Is ImpossibleB．Glass Balls Are Easy to Be BrokenC．Treat Your Life in a Right Way三、补全短文7选5Around the world, people eat with forks, spoons, chopsticks or just their hands. 26．Eating foods like rice and vegetables with your hands is skill that takes time to learn.It’s important to eat only with the right hand, and that the food only touches the fingers. 27．.

That's all.Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time.Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don't do that.

One day my new boss said he would invite me to lunch to celebrate my new job in a Chinese restaurant. “A Chinese restaurant? Chopsticks? Oh no! Will I make a complete fool of myself?”I thought.That evening, I cooked noodles and spent two whole hours trying to learn how to use chopsticks. Try as I might, I didn't succeed. I called my pen friend and asked her to explain exactlyhow to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb (拇指), first and middle fingers. “Louise, it's not that hard,”she said. “That's easy for you to say,”I replied. “You've been eating with chopsticks all your life. It's natural for you!”I didn't sleep well that night. The next day, when my boss took two coworkers and me to the restaurant, he spoke to the server in Chinese. My heart was beating fast, but then I noticed something strange. Instead of chopsticks, we all had knives, forks and spoons. I didn't understand at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with chopsticks. To save me from embarrassment (尴尬), he had arranged for us to be served with knives, forks and spoons. I couldn't believe how thoughtful he was.Now, we often go out for lunch. After a lot of practice, I've mastered how to use chopsticks. And it isn't really that difficult once you get used to it.16．Louise felt ________ when her boss invited her to a Chinese restaurant.A．excited B．nervous C．angry D．surprised17．How long did Louise spend practicing using chopsticks that evening?A．An hour.

Now, a 19yearold teenager can help you to solve this problem. He has invented a phone charger which uses energy from your own body to charge your phone.Hand Energy, the wonderful invention of the inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by shaking your hand, which starts the charger's gyroscope(陀螺仪) to produce electricity. And the electricity can then either be stored or used to charge a mobileimmediately(立即).He said, “With each rotation(旋转) of your hand, the gyroscope's speed increases quickly and produces more power. The average(平均的) speed of the gyroscope is about 5，000 rounds per minute. With this small charger, your physical energy can be turned into electrical energy and this means you can charge your phone. ”Hand Energy can help you produce endless electricity. You can use it everywhere you want. It is especially useful for people who have to spend a long time in the wild. What's more, it's friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. It takes between 40 minutes and one hour to fully charge the batteries(电池) in Hand Energy.The invention took Vaga a year to develop.

Have you ever had a chat with Siri? I'm sure your answer must be yes. Voice assistants are programs on digital devices. They listen and respond to verbal (口头的) orders.Today's voice assistants can help you with many things. They can do almost anything you can think of. They can answer questions, make calls as well as provide weather, traffic, sports and other realtime information. They can even control smart devices (装置) in your home, such as the highlights and air conditioner.So how do they understand us?It all starts with a signal word. Users say the names of their voice assistants to get their attention. For example, they might say, "Hey, Siri!" The signal word wakes up the device and tells it to begin paying attention.After it hears the signal word, the voice assistant starts recording. The device waits for a pause to know you've finished your request. It then sends your recorded request over the Internet to its database (数据库).Once in the database, your request is compared to other requests. It's divided into separate orders that your voice assistant can understand. The database then sends these separate orders back to the device. When it receives the orders, the voice assistant will carry out the task you asked for.Voice assistants are improving all the time. If you say to a smart speaker, "Play rock music", and it plays country music, you'll tell it to stop. This teaches the device that the orders it received from its database were wrong. It will tell the database about the mistake and try to do better next time.Sometimes a voice assistant might ask a question after it receives your request to make sure it understands what you want.11．What is Siri?A．A computer. B．A radio. C．A phone. D．A program.12．How do the voice assistants begin to work?A．Users say their names. B．They hear the users' voices.C．Users have a chat with them. D．They answer the questions.13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The smart speaker can receive written words.B．Any orders can be understood by the voice assistants.C．We can use voice assistants to control the smart refrigerator.D．As soon as the voice assistant hears the signal word, it sends requests.14．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Users can teach voice assistants to understand.B．Voice assistants make mistakes but can be improved.C．A smart speaker can do almost anything you can request.D．Users should stop the voice assistant when it carries out the wrong task.15．What's the best title of the passage?A．What Are Voice Assistants B．How Do Voice Assistants WorkC．What Can Voice Assistants Do D．How Do Voice Assistants UnderstandOnce there were many thousands of Gourma Desert（沙漠）elephants in Mali, a country in West Arica. Now, there are fewer than four hundred.Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants’main lake, their only water source（来源）, dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.To protect the elephants’living environment, the Mali Elephant Project(MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forest and grassland.However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching(偷猎) and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephants were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020,”said a member of MEP.Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations（组织）have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.16．MEP was started to ________.A．raise more elephants in Mali B．stop the main lake from drying upC．discover water sources for elephants D．protect the elephants’ living environment17．What does the word “illegal”in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?A．公平的B．亏损的C．非法的D．合理的18．Eighty-three elephants were lost ________.A．in 2012 B．in 2015 C．in 2016 D．in 202019．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.A．the number of organizations has droppedB．there is much less elephant poaching nowC．the local people keep the elephants at homeD．the whole world lives peacefully with elephants20．This passage is mainly about ________.A．the rules of using land and water B．the education of the local peopleC．the work of Mali Elephant Project D．the situation of Gourma Desert elephantsThe Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. During the festival, Chinese people have many activities. They paste Spring Festival Couplets(春联), greeting the New Year and saying goodbye to the old year. On the first day of the Spring Festival, people hang out, wearing new clothes. Nowadays, children get redpockets from their parents and their relatives. It is a good time for people to visit relatives and friends. Moreimportantly, the Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world.The Spring Festival was celebrated in the UK from 1980. Every New Year, people also get together and have lots of activities. They sing songs and share with friends or watch movies in the cinema. Besides, the Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the traditional New Year. The Chinese New Year will be welcomed with three weeks of celebration across Australia. Thousands of people come to Sydney's Chinatown. They enjoy fireworks and lion dances. The family dinner on New Year's Eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China. They usually hold it at home because having it in a restaurant takes away the meaning of the tradition.21．According to Paragraph One, children can get red pockets from their ________ on the first day of the SpringFestival.A．friends B．parents and relatives C．teachers D．classmates22．Which activity is NOT mentioned(提到) in Paragraph One?A．Hold a New Year party.

The objects that had been the companions of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out. Soon, we'd all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called "libraries" and "bookshops".But it seems that rumors of the death of the book are exaggerated. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising. More surprisingly, it's young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books.26．Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading.27．Many buyers of books like to sign their name on the inside cover when they've bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere.If the cover gets bent or there's mark made on the pages from coffee or food, all the better. These accidents make the book-our book-even more personal.28．Of course, some could say that the products on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads, are also objects that we become fond of.29．A Kindle can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favorite armchair enters our memory forever. Physical books are as valuable to some readers as items of jewelry or photographs of family members.30．Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.However, there's no doubt that e-books are here to stay. They aren't simply a "here today, gone tomorrow" thing. But it's also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.Word Bankcompanions伙伴rumors传言exaggerated夸大的sentimental情感的根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

Do you want to become better at networking with others? Nothing will improve your networking ability and your ability to make a successful conversation with other people rather than your curiosity about them. When you are curious about other people, you will want to discover some of the interesting ways that they are similar to you. When you are curious about them, you’ll also be interested to discover the ways in which they think differently and live differently from you.When you have curiosity about others, you will be much less self-conscious and your conversations will work a lot better. Instead of worrying yourself, “What can I say next that won’t sound stupid?”you will be focused on learning more about the other person.Making small talk with strangers can be tricky. We’ve all heard the advice that we should pick something out of our immediate environment and use that as a main point to start our small talk with the other person.It’s true that this can be a great starting point for a conversation. However, when you focus too much on discussing things like the weather in your city, you can bring the conversation to a painful end very quickly. The other person will sense that you are trying to make a conversation, but that you have no interest in really getting to know him or her.How can you keep small talk from becoming boring?One way is to watch the other person for clues they will give you about what is really interesting to them. When you get these clues, use them to start making the conversation a bit more about their life, their opinions, and their experiences.After you have had a couple of minutes to break the ice, try looking for ways to make the conversation a little bit more personal. Ask the other person for his or her opinion about something that is a bit more personal but not extremely so. The first few minutes of talking to someone new will not be the best time to ask the other person his or her opinion on religious （宗教的）or political（政治的）matters. However, he or she might be happy to discuss his or her favorite team or musical band.11．In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.A．it’s hard to make a talk with new peopleB．curiosity can help us start a good small talkC．curiosity helps us know new people quicklyD．it’s hard to make a successful talk with othersA．nervous B．serious C．self-centered D．self-controlled13．What is the best title for the passage?A．The way of starting small talk.B．The importance of small talk in our life.C．Improving our small talk with curiosity.D．Improving our relationship through small talk.Why is good grammar important? Well, good grammar can save lives! Just consider the difference between “Let’s eat, Grandma!”and “Let’s eat Grandma!”With the first one, you are inviting your grandma over for a lovely meal. The second one sounds like you are excited about cannibalism.Jokes aside, some people think good grammar is unnecessary. They argue that as long as they are being understood, it should not matter whether there are a few grammatical mistakes or not. But I don’t think so. I believe good grammar matters.Thinking about your grammar when your writing makes you easier to be understood. You may think a grammatical mistake doesn’t matter. But think about it from the reader’s point of view. Even a small mistake can make your reader stop and read the message again. He or she will have to spend more time understanding it.Good English grammar will help improve your English skills generally. Being able to speak and write correctly, over time, builds your confidence while using English. This will encourage you to increase your vocabulary. With good grammar and a wide vocabulary, you will find it easier to express your ideas and communicate with native speakers.Good grammar can also make you appear more reliable. Just think about your attitudes towards a newspaper that has many grammatical mistakes in its articles. You will doubt if the information in the newspaper is reliable, won’t you?The same is true on a personal level. Your writing shows who you are. If there are many careless mistakes, then it appears to readers that you don’t care about your work. This makes them less likely to trust you.I hope you have now seen the importance of good grammar.Word Bankcannibalism 同类相食reliable 可信赖的根据材料内容, 选择最佳答案。
