On Tuesday 29 MayBLife in the future will be different from the life today.Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?The population is growing fast. And most of them will live longer than people now.Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every room. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people.Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a big problem.24.In the future there will be ．A．much more fruits B．more people C．fewer vegetables D．less people 25. In the future people don't have to ．A．work long hours B．work fast C．walk on foot D．eat meat26. People may not eat as much as they do today.A．fruit B．fish C．meat D．rice27. One big problem in the future is that ．A．many people don't have to workB．many people will not be able to find workC．people have to work fastD．all the work will be done by robotsCCold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (居处) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.28. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their own shelter:D. They like to stay in warm places.29. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A To know when to bring them inside. B. To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelters .D. To keep them company.30. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild31.What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.DAudrey Hepburn (奥黛丽·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is rememberedas much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey's father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War Ⅱ, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college. But when she returned to London after the war she realized she wasn't going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员)．So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America in 1950s that brought her true fame. In 1951, she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name and received great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her roles, the most popular one was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married two times and had one child with each husband. In 1989, the UN Children's Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She traveled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.32.The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that ．A．she wanted to be a ballerina B．her parents were from BritainC．it was safe there D．the education there was excellent33. We can know from the passage that ．A．Audrey's parents lived in Germany during World War ⅡB．Audrey went to America in the 1950sC．Audrey was made to give up dancingD．the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play was her most popular role34. is NOT mentioned in the passage about Audrey Hepburn.A．Marriage B．Identity C．Contribution D．Religion35． is the right order for Audrey's life.①The first time she began to play in movies.②She returned to London from the Netherlands.③She won an Academy Award as Best Actress.④She traveled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects.⑤She played a part in My Fair Lady.A．②①③⑤④ B．①②③⑤④ C．②①⑤③④ D．①②⑤③④其次节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AWhen you choose to study abroad in Madrid, you choose to do so in a beautiful city with one hand firmly rooted in the past and one reaching confidently toward the future.Geography of MadridMadrid is Spain’s capital and the most populated city. The heart of Madrid is a well-developed city with a perfect public transportation system, busy streets and sidewalks. Some of Madrid’s remoter districts, however, feel more like ancient villages. The city sees some snow in winter and plenty of rain in spring and fall. Summers are hot with minimum amounts of rain.Language in MadridThe majority of people in Madrid speak Spanish which is the official language of Spain. Most colleges and universities in Madrid are Spanish-language schools. However, many study-abroad programs in Madrid offer options of attending English-language schools. Also, when you’re in Madrid, you might take advantage of many high quality Spanish-language programs available to help you learn the language.Cost of living in MadridThe cost of living in Madrid depends on where you want to live. You need to pay three months’ rent in advance plus a deposit of ＄200 for the first time. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center of Madrid costs about ＄650 per month. Rent for a three-bedroom apartment in the city center costs approximately ＄1,200. If you’re wi lling to live outside the city center, you can expect to pay approximately ＄450 to ＄850 for a one or three-bedroom apartment respectively(分别地).1.What can we know about Madrid?A. There is a small amount of rain in summer.B. School students have to learn Spanish.C. Its remoter districts look modern.D. English-language schools are rare.2.How much should be paid first to rent a one-bedroom apartment in the city center of Madrid?A. About ＄1,950.B. About ＄1,550.C. About ＄2,750.D. About ＄2,150.3.Who is the text probably intended for?A.Native students who plan to study English.B.Parents whose children will live in Madrid.C.Foreign students who will study in Madrid.D.Teachers who intend to work in Madrid.BA message appeared in my Facebook Messenger inbox. It was from a woman I met briefly through a friend. “Hello, lady. Invite you to join my next challenge group —we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise, balanced nutrition and motivation. Let me help you reach your goals!”I laughed and ignored it. Tho ugh I’m a little fat, I’m healthy. But the meaning behind the message stuck with me all day. The more the day went on, the heavier her message weighed on me. The insecurity about my body was brought to life by one little Facebook message. That got me thinking about stepping away from social media.But what drove the nail into my Facebook coffin was when I posted a photo —and five minutes later my son asked how many “likes” it got.Likes equal acceptance and approval, which need to come from within. I unknowingly set a dangerous example as it won’t be long before he has his own phone and the freedom to post his own pictures. I didn’t want him to wait for his friends to “like” them and like and accept him. He should know his self-worth doesn’t rely on wha t others think or click.I deactivated my Facebook account. At first I felt lost. I missed the mindless scrolling( 滚动) while waiting in lineups. I carried a book with me. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook as first thing in the morning and last thing at night, so I had to come up with some new habits.And the results were immediate once the fog of Facebook disappeared.

The researchers estimated changes in the populations of 529 species using long-term bird-monitoring databases. Those data showed that the number of individual birds across all of those species had decreased by 29 percent, from around 10 billion in 1970 to just over 7 billion in 2017.“The data they used provide probably the best long-term, large information on species abundances for any group of animals or plants anywhere in the world,” Natalie Wright, a bird biologist tells The Atlantic. “There’s always uncertainty, but if they are wrong, they are likely underestimating the size of population declines.”The team also examined 10 years’ worth of data from a network of 143 weather radars, which pick up bird migrations, and found a reduction in migratory biomass of about 14 percent since 2007. “Two completely different and independent monitoring techniques thus signal major population loss across the continent,” the authors wrote in their paper.The results are particularly concerning because many of the species showing declines are not considered rare or in danger, but are almost everywhere and potentially act as important contributors to food webs and ecosystem function. More than 90 percent of the loss in abundance in the survey data was due to declines in 12 families, including sparrows and blackbirds. Some other species, including many ducks, instead showed increases in abundance —possibly as a result of focused conservation efforts in recent years.The findings should be a wake-up call. Many of the birds studied spend time in multiple countries within and beyond North America. What our birds need now is a historic, global effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.8.How does the first paragraph show the bird reduction?A. By comparing figures.B. By listing some examples.C. By using experts’ words.D. By doing experiments.9.What can we infer about the function of the data according to Natalie Wright?A. It’s wrong.B. It’s formal.C. It’s helpful.D. It’s useless.10.Which of the following is particularly worrying?A.The focus of conservation efforts has turned out wrong.B.Some ducks are likely to lose their ecosystem function.C.Few species across the continent show the increase.D.The population of widespread species is declining.11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To point out the importance of raising birds.B.To call on people to work together to bring birds back.C.To analyze the concerning results of long-term research.D.To inform people of the dangers many species are facing.DSelf-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this, a new study concludes.To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians(行人) in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve(急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic? What if such options w ould likely kill the car’s driver?Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that automated cars should be designed to protect the most people. But there’s a di lemma( 困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs —even if the pedestrians would now end up dying.Makers of computerized cars are in a tough spot, Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.Compromises might be possible, Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decline. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society.”pared with the traditional cars, what’s the advantage of driverless cars?A.People can more easily afford them.B.They do greater harm to the environment.C.They can reduce traffic jams.D.The traffic accidents are likely to be on the increase.13.What do we learn from the text?A.People are in a difficult situation about driverless cars.B.Car makers believe driverless cars could attract buyers.C.Most buyers would want their cars to protect the pedestrians.D.Survey participants think driverless cars should protect the least people.14.What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-driving cars?A.Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Sympathetic.D. Disapproving.15.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Environment.B. Entertainment.C. Health.D. Technology.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 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。
