AFamily-friendly things to do on Long IslandIf you’re looking for ways to fill the weekend, Long Island is packed with exciting things to do for the whole family.1.How much would a couple with a boy aged 6 and a girl aged 10 pay for Famous Food Festival?A. $42.B. $35.C. $21.D. $28.2.Which one do you need to book in advance?A. Riverhead Country Fair.B. Famous Food Festival.C. Montauk Family Fall Festival.D. Lightkeepers Behind the Scenes Tours.3.What do Montauk Family Fall Festival and Riverhead Country Fair have in common?A. They both have art exhibitions.B. They offer free food and drinks.C. They both open on Saturdays and Sundays.D. They are likely to be welcomed by music lovers.B“Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah? Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.The anecdote（轶事）above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the highlight of my summers — what more can you ask from a food paradise? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, peering in. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already?” InMalaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist.4.How did the author feel in the anecdote?A. Confused and scared.B. Embarrassed and nervous.C. Curious and surprised.D. Upset and puzzled.5. Why did the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2?A. Because she had to stay away from her family.B. Because she didn’t enjoy speaking the language.C. Because she had to accept what grandparents said.D. Because she found it hard to understand the culture.6.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?A. She was a good language learner.B. She didn’t like being an Asian.C. She was judged unfairly in Malaysia.D. She spoke English unconsciously in Malaysia.7.From which column of the website does this article probably come from?A. OpinionB. News.C. Education.D. Humor.CWalking over water might sound unbelievable. In fact, people do it all the time. How? Almost all of the world’s liquid fresh water that is called groundwater lies underground.Earth is a water planet, but most of its water is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planet’s water is fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers（冰川）and ice caps and about 30 percent is groundwater - much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.Groundwater is found almost everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge（海绵）, forming buried bodies of water called aquifers（地下蓄水层）. Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the world’s lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a key part of the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earth’s surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers and wetlands. People get groundwater through wells for drinking, watering crops and other uses.As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rushstraight into streams and storm drains, instead of going into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.Many of the world’s aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwindle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems.8.What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3?A. It will end up in rivers and seas.B. It’s mainly stored in wet regions.C. It’s mainly kept in the form of aquifers.D. It runs out onto the earth’s surface regularly.9.Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text?A. It makes heavier rain go into the soil.B. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.C. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.D. It allows less rain to go underground directly.10.What does the underlined word “dwindle” in the last paragraph mean?A. Decrease.B. Change.C. Develop.D. Form.11.What is the best title of the passage?A. The threat from climate changeB. The water cycle in the worldC. The decrease of groundwaterD. Water crisis on the planetDAnnissa Jobb, with a walking stick, went to the office of Riam Shammaa, a pain specialist in Toronto, in 2017. Jobb’s back pain first appeared about a decade earlier due to an undiagnosed herniated disc, which had pressed a nerve. As the pain worsened, Jobb clenched her teeth and tried to keep going. Now she was desperate for help. “I had a drawer full of pain medication. None of it was working.” said Jobb.Historically, the treatment of such back pain has been less than ideal, sometimes causing patients to become addicted to painkillers or to undergo major surgery, which is suitable for only about 1 in 20 patients. Hunting for a solution beyond these limited options, Dr. Shammaa turned to stem cells—the building-block cells found in various tissues in adult bodies—which can generatea set of different cells. Specifically, he’d been studying bone marrow（骨髓）stem cells, and he invited Jobb to participate in a study with 23 other patients. He hoped that injecting（注射）the stem cells, known as MSCs, into the patient’s herniated disc would multiply and heal the damaged tissue.The procedure took three and a half hours. It began with the collection of Jobb’s bone marrow—the most painful step—which was immediately distilled（蒸馏）and concentrated into bone marrow mixture, or BMAC, then injected into the discs. Guided by a special type of X-ray, Dr. Shammaa inserted a needle through Jobb’s spine to place the BMAC into the discs. Jobbremained awake for the entire procedure in order to alert Dr. Shammaa if he touched a nerve. Afterward, Jobb recovered in bed for two weeks and then, slowly, began to walk.A month later she stepped swiftly into the clinic, a moment Dr. Shammaa recalled with delight. “While Jobb had previously described her pain as ‘beyond ten’, she says that it’s now a two.”12.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Annissa Jobb’s back pain experiencesB. The desperate situation of Annissa JobbC. The treatment of Annis Jobb’s illnessD. The cause for Annissa Jobb’s visit to a pain specialist13.Why does the author mention the treatment of back pain in history?A. To introduce the process of the previous treatmentB. To explain the necessity of Dr. Shammaa’s researchC. To show the development of the treatment of back painD. To provide the supporting evidence for Dr. Shammaa’s research14.What can we know about the stem cells in the treatment?A. They can function in any part of human bodiesB. They are able to help cells reproduce and recoverC. They will be injected into the tissues nearby herniated discD. They will be concentrated before collecting patients’s bone marrow15.What can we infer from Dr. Shammaa’s words in the last paragraph?A. Jobb has a poor comment on her treatment.B. Jobb has only two pain spots after the treatment.C. Jobb’s back pain has been dramatically relieved.D. Jobb’s back pain is evaluated more precisely than before.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

While Sam Clague, 14, and Diamond Paisley, 12, were both in London, the British number one was in Abu Dhabi.During the world’s first holographic lesson, Ms Raducanu’s avatar appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots, like “that was fast and there was lots of topspin on that”. Even Sam said he thought she had been prerecorded at first until she spoke with him directly.Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching, according to Dr Ian Pearson.Dr Pearson thinks that mixed reality headsets will soon allow tennis players to feel they are playing in unusual virtual environments, like on a space station or the middle of a lake Through 5G, the future of tennis will see increased interaction between real life tennis courts and the rich imagination we see in computer games-playing whenever, wherever and whoever you want.Full sensory virtual reality could even place the viewer inside the tennis player’s shoes in real time. Dr Pearson said: “By 2030, with active skin technology, the playing styles and even the sensations of top-level players could be captured, so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.”Finally, sportswear made from smart materials could allow for a digital coach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feedback on a player’s form. Dr Pearson said: “Al-controlled suits made from smart materials, such as fabrics with sensors, can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the musclememory of a flawless forehand. Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches, new players can develop and learn much more quickly.”4．What did Ms Raducanu do in the first holographic lesson?A．Give players a real time guidance.B．Require players to follow her shots.C．Record coaching contents in advance.D．Share her experiences through thehologram.5．What can full sensory virtual reality make viewers do?A．Increase their imagination of sports.B．Take the place of top level players.C．Experience the feeling of players on the spot.D．Have a sense of playing in an unusual place.6．What’s Dr Pearson’s attitude towards virtual AI coaches?A．Critical.B．Skeptical.C．Cautious.D．Favorable. 7．What is the text mainly about?A．The future of coaching.B．The threat from AI to coaches.C．The first live coaching online.D．The appearance of digital coaches.People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.To test this idea, researchers asked 44 students to go for a walk or steal from a mock (模仿的) crime. Students were instructed to lie if they committed the fake theft.Next, the researchers recruited 171 people to watch six truthful and six deceptive (欺骗的) interviews from these recordings, ranking interviewees’ eye contact and detail level. The results revealed that both truth-tellers and liars averted (转移) their gaze a similar amount, but truthful statements were substantially more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.The researchers then asked 405 people to judge the true nature of six truthful and six deceptive statements randomly chosen from the interviews. Around half of the participants used multiple cues to identify liars. The remaining participants solely ranked the level of detail in answers on a scale of 1 to 10, with1 a 6 or above counting as truthful. Those usingmultiple cues distinguished lies from the truth 59% of the time, while those relying solely on detail achieved 66%.“Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably need to confirm the accuracy of statements through extra further investigations or follow-up questions, he says.8．Bruno Verschuere and his colleagues conducted the research to confirm that ________.A．behavioral information played a vital role in finding out the truthB．people should be trained to detect lies by referring to multiple cuesC．truthtellers and liars shared something in common when performing the taskD．it’s relatively easier to identify liars by relying only on the detail of statements 9．What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?A．Liars turned away their eyes more often than truth-tellers.B．Truthful statements included considerably more details than deceptive ones.C．It’s difficult for participants to detect liars by using multiple cues like eye contact.D．Participants who relied on one cue can distinguish lies from the truth faultlessly. 10．What did Verschuere think of the real-life application of his research?A．It had some limitations.B．It made no sense.C．It could be perfectly applied.D．It had no potential market. 11．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce readers to the classification of lies.B．To encourage readers to apply the results in real life.C．To warn readers of psychological harm of telling a lie.D．To inform readers of scientific findings on detecting liars.In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry whichhelped to scare off would-be predators.To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.12．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study?A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.13．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?A．By consulting experts in this field.B．By referring to other scholars’ analysis.C．By collecting computer data.D．By conducting series of scientificexperiments.14．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean?A．Disappointing.B．Controversial.C．Definite.D．Uncertain. 15．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B．Animal Mimicry: Buzz offC．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．Bats: No More Victim to Owls二、七选五How to Set GoalsWhether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. 16Find out your life goals. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life. What do you want to achieve today, in a year, and in your lifetime? The answers to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy” or “I want to help people” .17Set specific (具体的) goals. Be specific and realistic about what it is that you want to achieve. Research shows that setting a specific goal makes you more likely to achieve it.18 For example, “Be healthier” is too big and vague to be a helpful goal. “I want to eat more vegetables, and I want to run a marathon” is better.Write out your goals. Be detailed, be clear, and include your steps. 19 Keep your list in a place where you can get informed frequently. This will help keep you motivated.20 You may find yourself set in your ways concerning broad life goals, but take the time to reevaluate your smaller goals. Are you accomplishing them according to your timeline?Are they still necessary to keep you on track towards your larger life goals? Allow yourself the flexibility (灵活性) to make some small changes to your goals.A．Adjust your goals.B．Track and measure your progress.C．Having a plan will help push you ahead.D．Writing them down tends to make them a little more real.E．Here are some important ideas that you may find helpful.F．Consider what you hope to achieve in 10, 15, or 20 years.G．Remember that you may need to break large goals into smaller goals.三、完形填空Jennifer Webb-McRae always knew what she wanted to be when she grew up.She really never wanted to be anything else 21 a lawyer when she grew up and that was because her family kind of put that idea in her head.
