Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.
This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.
According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.
At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.
What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface?
4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seeing
B. Standing
C. Walking
D. Hearing
5. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?

6. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market.
B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.
C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.
D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.
7. How is this technology used in agriculture?
A. It can help improve the production of crops.
B. It can help kill pests.
C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.
D. It can help increase farm land.
C
One weekend I went toBuffaloto talk at a writers' conference organized by a group of women writers. The women were serious about their writing skills, and the articles they had written were solid and useful. They asked me to take part in a radio talk show earlier in the week to publicize the conference-they would be with the host in the studio and I would be on a telephone linking from my apartment inNew York.
The appointed evening arrived, and my phone rang, and the host came on and greeted me. He said he had three lovely ladies in the studio with him and he was eager to find out what we all thought of the present state of literature and what advice we had for all his listeners who were members of the literati and had literary ambitions themselves.This hearty introduction dropped like a stone among us, and none of the three lovely ladies said anything, which I thought was the proper response.
The silence lengthened, and finally I said, “I think we should stop mentioning the words literature and literary and literati. We're here to talk about the skills of writing.” Iknew that the host had been given information about what kind of writers we were and what we wanted to discuss. But he had no other preparation. "Tell me what insights do you have about the literary experience inAmericatoday?” Silence also greeted this question.
He didn’t know what to do with that, and he began to mention the names of authors like Ernest Hemingway and Saul Bellow and William Styron, whom we surely regarded as literary giants. We said those writers didn't happen to be our models, and we mentioned people like Lewis Thomas and Joan Didion and Gary Wills, whom he hadn't heard of. We explained that these were writers we admired. “But don't you want to write anything literary?” our host said We were speechless.
It was one of the all-time upset radio talk shows.
8. What do we know about the talk show?
A. It was organized by women writers.
B. It was publicized at the conference.
C. The author went toBuffaloto take part in it.
D. The author participated in it inNew York.
9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The introduction struck us heavily with a stone.
B. The introduction received embarrassing response.
C. The introduction increased the listeners' interest.
D. The introduction carried the host's praise for us.
10. What was the author's reaction when the host mentioned the three great literary- giants?
A. Excited.
B. Inspired.
C. Uninterested.
D. Satisfied.
11. Who may be the author's model?
A. Joan Didion.
B. Ernest Hemingway.
C. Saul Bellow.
D. William Styron.
D
Kamikatsu, a small town in Japan, has shown the world that our garbage has far-reaching effects, and not just on our environment.
Theexperiment in going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 years ago. But almost immediately, the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage was burned in it. It was too expensive to send waste to other towns, so locals had to come up with a new plan. Then the Zero Waste Academy was born, which helped perform this plan.
Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories. But in the beginning, it wasn't easy to convince local people to do all this work, and there was somepushback. Only after that initial education period did most residents come on board.
This is all great news for waste reduction of course, but it has also had some unexpected social benefits as well. Like much of Japan, Kamikatsu's population is aging, and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly. The fact that the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction between generations.
That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped off and others can take them, and a tableware "library" where people can borrow extra cups, glasses, silverware and plates for celebrations.
"The elderly see this not as a waste-collection service, but an opportunity to socialize with the younger
generation and to chat. When we visit them, they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while, we ask how they are," Sakano, the founder of the Zero Waste Academy, said.
Sakano's ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it. She's proving that community can be found through handling the stuff we no longer want and need.
12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. What harmful effects garbage burning has.
B. Why garbage sorting is necessary in Japan.
C. How the idea of zero waste was put forward.
D. What the Zero Waste Academy functions as.
13. What does the underlined word "pushback" probably mean?
A. Inactive response.
B. Generous reward.
C. Bitter suffering.
D. Beneficial guidance.
14. What is a bonus of the zero waste project?
A. Reducing waste.
B. Creating community.
C. Increasing people's income.
D. Developing a new technology.
15. Which part of a newspaper is this text most likely from?
A. Technology.
B. Health.
C. Workplace.
D. Lifestyle.

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项It seems that society has placed so much value on the word “humility” (谦逊), sometimes we’retold to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee.____16____, rather than how society looks at you. Here are three ways to develop a modest personality.
Stop questioning your worth.
Being mild-mannered does not contradict(相矛盾) recognizing your worth, because you’ll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside changes.Worth shouldn’t be measured by what you compete on in society.____17____.
____18____
Be willing to get coffee for a colleague, sweep the floors of your dormitory, or move to a smaller office at work.____19____. In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision. Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path, without having to worry
about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across.
Accept uncertainty.
____20____. Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. It’s compromise that moves us along.” This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it.
A.Be eager and flexible
B.Be determined and hard-working
C.Develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty
D.Uncertainty is a double-edged sword in many cases
E.Instead, it’s your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are
F.This can allow you to communicate with the people around you in new ways
G.The true humility, however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings

An increasing number of teachers are also doing so by encouraging students to___27___in direct experimentation.
