It stops my work and starts an update, which I can not stop, never asked for and do not want, from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Red alert(警报)! Where is my work? What is happening to my computer?“Your computer?”says Clayden jokingly, and he is right. I’m sitting in my home, at my desk, using a computer that I think belongs to me, but it doesn’t. It seems to belong to Microsoft, because they’re in charge of it. They’ve gone into my living room, stopped me working, damaged my printer deliberately, which was specially set up to match Windows 7, and stopped the sound on iPlayer, while I wasted my time trying to find files and sorting out how this new system works. They’ve given me a fright and ruined my day, and poss ibly my life, because I think I’ve lost most of my documents.An annoying little notice appears in the comer of my screen.“I’m Cortana, ”it says.“Ask me anything.”Here’s a machine telling me what to do, and I’m falling for it. Because I just wrote:“It says.”No, it doesn’t. It can’t speak. It’s a machine taking over.“Are you sure you haven’t turned yours off?”Clayden asks. No. It’s on. I can see the little lights glimmering （闪烁）but there’s just no sound or sense to it.How dare Microsoft disturb my private life like this? What a bloody cheek! And I am not alone. They’ve been doing these updates since July last year, although they claim they don’t install(安装)them without users’ permission. Whatever’s going on, they need to fix it like they promised. Because i t’s still happening. So I’m stuck here, waiting for them to come and fix it.24．How does the author feel while telling the story?A．Frightened B．SurprisedC．Humorous D．Angry25．The underlined phrase “falling for”in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ .”A．addicted to using B．having doubt aboutC．fooled into believing D．feeling tired of26．What can we infer from the text?A．The author’s computer is of bad qualityB．Automatic update may cause trouble to the usersC．Microsoft users benefit a lot from its free serviceD．The author has a privilege to update his computer system27．What will the author probably do next?A．Wait for help C．Take apart the computerB．Complain to Microsoft D．Purchase a new computerCWhen a 91,000-acre piece of vacant land came up for sale in Southwest Florida about ten years ago, it attracted builders from across the country. After all, the chance to develop an area almost five times the size of Manhattan does not come frequently. But to everyone’s surprise, the owners did not sell the land that liesjust 20 minutes from Fort Myers to the highest bidder. Instead, they sold it to Kitson ＆ Partners who not only promised to preserve part of the land, but also use the remaining area to build an environmentally friendly town.True to their word, as soon as the sale closed, the developers sold 73,000 acres to the government of Florida as part of the largest single land preservation agreement in the state’s history. Over the last decade, the st ate and county officials have worked hard at restoring the wetlands and other waterways in what is now known as the Babcock Nature Preserve. Their efforts have resulted in the return of many native birds and plants that had disappeared from the region.However, for some reason, it was not until Earth Day 2018(April 22) that the developers finally revealed their plans for America’s first “green”community.On the surface, Babcock Ranch, which will be home to about 50,000 residents when completed, appears to be just like a typical small American town. It will have a downtown, hiking trails, a wellness center, and even a man made lake that residents can use for recreational activities like kayaking. However, this is where the similarities end.Unlike most American cities, the homes in Babcock Ranch will not be powered by polluting fossil fuels like coal or oil. Instead, the residents will get their energy from a solar farm. On cloudy days or at night, the grid(电网)powered by clean natural gas will take over. According to Kitson. “The combination of energy will be the greenest in the country.”28．What made Kitson ＆ Partners succeed in buying the large vacant land? A．They offered the highest priceB．They had good relationship with the ownersC．They promised to change the land into a modern cityD．Their plans for the land were good for the environment29．What can we know about the Babcock Nature Preserve?A．It is 73,000 miles from Fort MyersB．It is developed by the governmentC．It is the largest reserve in the worldD．It is five times the size of Manhattan30．What will make Babcock Ranch different from a typical American town?A．Its appearanceB．Its friendly residentsC．Its combination of energyD．Its wellness center31．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?(①=Paragraph 1; ②=Paragraph 2; ③=Paragraph 3; ④=Paragraph 4; ⑤= Paragraph 5)DMost airlines go all out to ensure their passengers have the best possible flight experience. Now, Europe’s low-budget airline, easyJet, wants to extend the positive experience beyond the plane ride with “Sneakairs”—smart shoes that allow visitors to explore new cities and towns without ever looking at a map.To transform Sneakairs from an ordinary shoe to a tour guide, all the wearer has to do is enter his or her desired destination into the easyJet smartphone app.A built-in GPS will deter-mine the wea rer’s starting location while the Google Maps navigation（导航）tool will help chart the best route. Whenever a change of direction is necessary, the app will communicate with the appropriate shoe via the Bluetooth and cause it to vibrate （振动）. For example, if the wearer needs to turn right, he/she will feel the sensation in the right shoe. Should the user miss the turn, the smart shoes will both vibrate at the same time, reminding him/her to change course.Visitors that wander off the suggested path or decide to take a break for a cupof coffee or a meal have nothing to worry about. The smart app will automatically determine the new location and chart out a new route, once the desired destination is reached. Sneakairs will vibrate three times to inform the user of the arrival and then go back to being ordinary shoes-until their navigation services are needed again!Sneakairs is certainly not the first navigation shoe in the market. However, easyJet is the first airline to offer them to passengers just as they are about to land in an unknown city. How-ever, before Sneakairs can go mainstream, the easyJet team still needs to make some adjustments. Among the challenges that need to be addressed is the smart shoe’s three-hour battery life, which is hardly enough for a tourist to catch all the delights a new or town has to offer!32．What can we learn about Sneakairs in the text?A．Its size B．Its priceC．Its material D．Its function33．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?A．How Sneakairs worksB．How visitors choose routesC．How users avoid getting lostD．What users should pay attention to34．What might easyJet do to improve its smart shoes?A．Bring down their costB．Add more functionsC．Develop more typesD．Make the battery last longer35．Where does this text probably come from?A．A commercial ad B．A science reportC．A tourist map D．An airline guide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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I remember a time when I was feeling down, but a simple smile from a friend brightened up my day.

Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2021, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in theirarea. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “The program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.〞

AHere are a few of our favorite entries so far in our “Your Life: The Reader’sDigest V e rsion”contest. After reading these, head over to Facebook and submit yourown story about a special moment or lesson that shaped your life.“There’s Always a John”By Darla BoydMy first year of teaching, there was a kid named John in my class. John was difficult to control and he nearly drove me crazy. While talking about him oneday, an old teacher put his hand on my shoulder and said, “There will always bea John. Your job is to learn to discover what makes him different and help him grow better.”The next year, there was indeed another John. In the last 20 years,I’ve learned to enjoy all the kids like John. That advice taught me that thereis something to appreciate in everyone.“An Early Key Lesson” ByElaine WestBefore I began my first teaching job, my mother, a teacher of 30 years, gaveme a very special gift, five simple words that have had an effect on my entirelife:“Make friends with the janitor (门卫).”Her wisdom taught me the respect for all types of characters and continue to enrich my life to this day. Just five little words but what an impact they can have when you take them to heart.“Raising Mommy” ByJan DavisBeing a mother can always present challenges and rewards. Someone told me early in my parenting career that “Children will teach you everything you need to know”.Being a mother is being raised. Our children become our advisers. Their dreams become our professors, as we are taking notes carefully. The sounds of their laughter and smiles on their faces are a great reward to us or bring us great joy. Their tears remind us that it is okay to fail, wipe the tears away and try again.21.What did the old teacher mean by saying “There will always be a John”?A.There are always difficult students like John.B.John will always be an ordinary student.C.It is important to change John.D.John is a very common name.22.Which of the following would Jan Davis most probably agree with?A.A mother should be given more care.B.A mother improves herself greatly in parenting.C.Being a mother has more challenges than rewards.D.Children should realize the dreams of their parents.23.The text is most probably a(n) .A.notice inviting contributions.B.introduction to a contest.C.ad for three new books.D.poster about a lecture.BI used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.Recently, I had to change my thinking when I came face to face with just such a human being, in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb a steep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, wherethere was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.Such well-mannered people are hard to find these days, when shoving （推撞）, jostling (挤)and pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society.

But don't worry. They're not mad. It's all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.Founded in 1985 by two British comedians, the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa. Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows. For example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that it's all secondhand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome option. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion. "You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price. It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them. I simply wash them before I wear them." said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from the US.So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.28.Why did Cameron appear in One Direction's music video?A.To earn a living.B.To support the band.C.To help raising money.D.To entertain the audience.29.Where are the goods of charity shops from?A.Local bands.B.People's donation.C.British comedians.D.The UK government.30.What's Anne Marie's attitude to charity shops?A.Favorable.B.

Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive(认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s.Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual(感觉的；知觉的）speed —how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life. Therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.32.Barbara Strauch probably agrees that .A.the young are better at handling important things.B.people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s.C.ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain.D.wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of aging.33.The continuing research has found older people perform better on _ .A.body balance.B. number ability.C. perceptual speed.D. vocabulary tests.34.People are happier with age because .A.they learn to value the time left.B.they know how to share feelings.C.they cannot focus on negative aspects.D.they do not realize the possible dangers.35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.People get wiser with age.B.People get happier with age.C.People get more forgetful with age.D.People get more self-aware with age.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
