ALet’s catch a glimpse of the latest inventions this year.Parallels lets you use desktop apps on your phoneYou'd think most applications would have created a mobile app by now — but many companies still use desktop apps exclusively. Now Parallels Access lets you access them on your smartphone. All you need to do is download the app, then connect Parallels' Applification™ to your computer, so you can access important files and other apps with a single click. You can easily use your apps in full-screen mode, using intuitive(直观的) touch controls to work faster than before.Usually,Parallels Access is $19.99, but you can get it now for $9.99.Take your lighting to the next level with this smart switchYou probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about your home’s lighting, but it’s important: the way that you control your lighting affects the environment (and your electric bill).This WiFi wall switch is controlled via a companion app on your smartphone, so you can control connected lights or ceiling fans from anywhere.Usually, the Meross WiFi Wall Light Switch costs $45.99, but right now it’s on sale for $39.99 .Shoot beautifully clear videos with this smartphone gimbalIf you're interested in shooting professional-quality videos and photos, you don't have to spend a fortune to take a beautifully composed shot: just use this Rigiet Smartphone Gimbal instead.A gimbal is a support for your camera (in this case, your smartphone) that allows it to pivot（移动）, and automatically detect and adjust to the position that you want to film in. Unlike any other camera hardware you might own, this one comes with its own accompanying app.Usually, this Rigiet Smartphone Gimbal is $269, but you can get it now for $109.99.21.What do these products have in common?A.

The Meross WiFi Wall Light Switch.C..The Parallels Access.D.The Desktop Apps.23.In which section can we see the article in a newspaper?A. Education.B. Science.C. Society.D. Culture.BWhen Huang Lizhi took her first class in African sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa in February, her professor asked her and her classmates what impresses them most when it comes to Africa.Unexpectedly, Huang, 31, found that words like “poverty” and “safari” – negative words thatwere often associated with the continent in media reports –were the kind of terms her African classmates didn’t want to hear. Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way: “Afri ca is the cradle of humankind” and “Africans are passionate and generous”.Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. It’s true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in Western Africa and the emergence (出现) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, it’s easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the world’s oldest civilizations –Egypt, born by the world’s longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas (稀树草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa –and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar.These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was held on Sept 3 and 4 – to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient living conditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people.In her eyes, her classmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will and activity. “At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted – they wanted their culture to be respected.”24. Which of the following best explains “cradle ” underlined in paragraph 2?A. A small bed for babies.B. A basket to hold something.C. A place for people to relax themselves.D. A place where something important began.25. What can we infer about Africa according to the passage ?A. It is very hot all the year round.B. It’s not a safe continent to live inC.

Discovering a Continent.CNot all of George H.W. Bush’s extended family members were invited to his Washington D.C. memorial service.Nearly a week after many paid their respects at the Washington National Cathedral, Sharon Bush, who was married to the 41st president’s son Neil from 1980 to 2003, told Page Six that she was allegedly unable to attend the funeral after she was told by her ex-husband’s secretary that there were not enough seats.“I was going to take the train down. I wanted to pay my respects. But I paid my respects by raising three wonderful children during a 23-year marriage,” Sharon told the Outlet.Neil and Sharon share three children: son Pierce and daughters Ashley and Lauren Bush Lauren, who gave a reading at the funeral, where the father of three attended with his second wife Maria Andrews, whom he wed in 2004.While the D.C. memorial service was taking place, Sharon recalled having lunch with Lady Gaga’s mother Cynthia Germanotta and publishing heiress Anne Hearst.Though she was snubbed from the funeral, Sharon shared photos on Instagram to honor her former father-in-law. “My girls Lauren and Ashley read scriptures at their grandfather’s funeral. I feel so proud of them. May he RIP.” The mother of three captioned a photo of Lauren and Ashley.“May he RIP,” Sharon also posted on Instagram, speaking of their children’s upbringing. Sharon credited herself for raising them to be charitable and public servants. “I taught them everything they know about ‘points of light’ by taking them to soup kitchens and homeless shelters from the time they were 4 years old. I didn’t want them spoiled,” she said, ref erencing the public service nonprofit — Points of Light, for which her ex-husband serves as chairman of the board of directors. “I did this. Neil was never around. He was always traveling,” Sharon added.28. Why was Sharon not invited to George H.W. Bush’s funeral?A. Because she did not intend to attend.B. Because she was not Neil’s current wife.C. Because the cathedral can’t hold so many people.D. Because she was busy with her children’s upbringing.29. How did Sharon mourn for the passing away of her former father-in-law?A. Through media interviews.B. By posting on a social medium.C. By raising three grandchildren.D. By looking back on lunching with him.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sharon’s marriage las ted 30 years.B. Neil and Sharon share three daughters.C. Points of Light is a profit-making company.D. Sharon’s girls attended their grandfather’s funeral.31. What is Sharon’s attitude towards Neil’s performance of bringing up children?A. Unconcerned.B.

Positive.DYou’ve got your fancy new suitcase and you’re ready to take it with you on your travels across the globe.You get to the airport, quickly moving through the crowds on the uneven pavement, rushing to check in. Then, your heart sinks when you realize your new suitcase has got a serious case of the wobbles (摇晃).Why does this happen?Scientists from the Universite Paris-Diderot in France investigated this matter and published their findings in the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A. They also suggested some solutions to overcome this modern-day problem.To learn more about the issue, they put a suitcase on a treadmill (跑步机) and observed whathappened.It was soon noted that the “wobble” was actually a result of repeated actions that caused the suitcase to sway from side to side. They discovered that if one of the wheels encountered an obstacle such as a small bump, it jumped into the air for just a moment and then banged back down to the ground. That second action caused the opposite wheel to lift off the ground and then to bang back down, causing the first to lift again and so on. This swaying increased as the luggage was pulled along.“The suitcase is a fun way to tackle th e problem, but the study would be the same for any trolley with two wheels or blades (桨叶),” Sylvain Courrech du Pont, lead author of the study, told BBC News. “So it will be the same for a caravan (大篷车) or maybe also for airplanes.”Instead of slowing down when we see a rocky part of the path, the scientists recommended doing the exact opposite and speeding up. This is because going faster gives the wheels less time to rise and fall, preventing the case from swaying. They also said that reducing the angle of the suitcase by lowering its handle to the ground would help keep it steady.“These findings could help researchers simulate and design better rolling suitcases and other pulled trolleys, such as towed trailers ,” Courrech du Pont added.With these masterminds (智者) working on perfecting our suitcase problems, wobbly luggage may soon be a thing of history, leaving us to enjoy our travels.32. The main purpose of the first two paragraphs is to ______.A. show the importance of a good wheeled suitcase for travelB. lead up to the wobbling problem of wheeled suitcasesC. describe how unstable wheeled suitcases can beD. show that wobbling can cause wheeled suitcases to stop working33. According to the scientists, when a suitcase meets with an obstacle, ______.A. the swaying will stop for a momentB. its two wheels will jump into the air at the same timeC. even a small obstacle can lead to a serious damageD. there is a series of repeated actions leading to the swaying34. What can be done to keep a suitcase steady on an uneven path according to the text?A. Slow down.B. Pull the suitcase at a faster speed.C. Raise the handle of the suitcase.D. Increase the angle of the suitcase.35. According to the article, the findings could ______.A. help improve the design of suitcasesB. solve the wobble of suitcases completelyC. be helpful in the advancement of treadmillsD. be used to develop blades for boats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。
