Not long ago. I tried convincing my tree daughters that the world’s secrets are hidden inside silence. The girls looed at me septically. Surely silence is nothing?
Sitting there at the dinner table, I suddenly remembered their curiosity as children, their wondering about what might be hiding behind a door and their amaement as they stared at a light switch and ased me to “open the light”, But now they are 13,16 and 19 and wonder less and less. If they still wonder at anything, they quicly pull out their smart phones to find the answer. None of them have any interest in discussing with me. To attract their attention, I told them about two friends of mine who had decided to climb Mount Qomolangma.
Early one morning they left base camp to climb the south-west wall of the mountain. It was going well. Both reached the summit, but then came the storm. They soon realied they would not mae it down alive. The first got hold of his pregnant wife by satellite phone. Together they decided on the name of the child that she was carrying. Then he quietly passed away just below the summit. My other friend was not able to contact anyone before he died. No one nows eactly what happened on the mountain in those hours. Thans to the dry, cool climate 8m above sea level, they have both been freee-dried. They lie there in silence, looing no different.
The girls remained quiet, listening. It seemed as though they had got something.
It is easy to assume that the essence(本质)of technology is technology itself, but that is wrong. The essence is the time we spend with our family and how much freedom we have by technology.
24. What’s the real purpose of the author’s telling the story?
A. To entertain the girls.
B. To attract the girls’ attention to technology.
C. To encourage the girls to eplore the world’s secret.
D. To share a viewpoint about the essence of technology.
25. Why are the girls unwilling to discuss problems with the author when they are puled?
A. Because they don’t want to solve them.
B. Because they can urn to the smart phone.
C. Because they feel ashamed for their problems.
D. Because they thin it difficult to tal with others.
26. How would the author thin of the outcome of the storytelling?
A. It’s effective.
B. It’s unacceptable.
C. It’s embarrassing.
D. It’s discouraging.
27. What does technology really bring us according to the tet?
A. The answers to the puling problems.
B. The time with our family and freedom.

We all have different ways to navigate（导航）when lost—whether asing a stranger for help, consulting an old-school map or simply following our nose. But on a bie, the riss are higher. One wrong garn or that you’re in a traffic jam with two lanes between your bie and the nearest pavement may ruin your good mood. Although cyclists, of course, managed to navigate before smart phones, cyclists can mae two choices a few stay calm and embrace getting lost, and the rest turn to a navigation app.
Google Maps added a directions function for cyclists in 2015 in the US and Canada, and two years later across Europe. And while there are doens of other apps now offering a similar service, Google Maps has the demerits for many, so the app seems to be falling behind epectations.
As someone with o sense of direction, I new it wouldn’t be easy when I started cycling earlier this year.
I appreciated that the app gave me two warnings before I needed to turn off a road, and automatically recalculated my route if I accidentally went off course. But still, it wasn’t a smooth process. Google Maps thought I could cut across a double carriageway with no breas in its barrier, assumed I new what it meant when it told me to “head west”, and thought nothing of taing me the wrong way down a busy one-way street.
Cyclists don’t just want safety—they want convenience. Londoner Rosen Smith regularly cycles between Clap ham and the City of London and would lie to see Google Maps calculate routes where his bie is allowed on public transport and more choice of the type of routes he can tae. “Google tends to calculate the most common and comfortable cycle routes. It would be better to have an option which included the fastest route, regardless of comfort,” he says.
For this reason, Robson says he uses the app Cycle Streets instead. It offers a choice of four different route modes, based on the type the user wants, and saves previous routes. It also tells you how many calories a route burns, how many traffic lights you will encounter, and how busy it is.
28. What higher riss may happen to cyclists according to Paragraph 1?
A. Losing the way to their destinations.
B. Staying still in the same place for a long time.
C. Maing wrong plans about the directions.
D. Taing wrong turn or being caught in a traffic jam.
29. What does the underlined word” demerits” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Defense.
B. Shortcomings.
C. Eistence.
D. Techniques.
30. What’s Robson’s opinion on Google Maps?
A. It needs improving.
B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It can provide convenient courses.
D. It offers the most common and fastest route.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the tet?
A. The Different Apps in Navigation
B. The Rise and Fall of Google Maps
C. Planning the Future of Google Maps
D. The Disadvantages of Google Maps
D
For many of us, taling about money is embarrassing, especially revealing our income and spending habits in public. So it’s no wonder that seeing investment advice from computer program is so popular.
Consultancy firm Accenture found that 68% of global consumers would be happy to use robot-advice to plan for retirement, feeling it would be faster, cheaper, and fairer than human advice. “Many of our customers say they feel awward in face-to-face meetings, preferring an online eperience where they don’t feel nervous,”says Lynn Smith, a director of robot-advice firm Wealth Wiards. So how does robot-advice wor and is it really any better than traditional financial advice?
Robot-adviser firms use algorithms（算法）to analyse your financial situation and goals and then wor out an investment plan to suit you. Basically, you answer lots of questions online about your income, epenses, family situation, attitude to ris and so on, and then the algorithm allocates（分配）your saving to a series of investments, from inde funds that aim to imitate a particular stoc maret inde or sector, to fied-income bonds.
Robot-advice is certainly growing in popularity. But are we really happy to give up the human adviser completely?” No” is the short answer. Accenture finds that a significant proportion of us still want human interaction, particularly when our finances are comple. “When a customer needs advice surpassing a number of different regulatory regimes, human advice will be required,” says John Pers, managing director of life and pensions at U insurer LV, which launched its Retirement Wiard robot-advice service two year ago.
The truth is that only about a quarter of funds managed by clever humans overcome the maret as a whole, so when you tae into account the much higher management fees you pay for that ind of service, the performance difference is liely to be marginal（微不足道的）for most of us.
The robots may be coming, but in this case at least, they seem to be on the side of the small investor trying to save for a comfortable retirement.
32. What do we now about the robot-advice from the second paragraph?
A. I t’s suitable for all.
B. It’s comple but fair.
C. I t’s epensive but accurate.
D. It’s beneficial and relaing.
33. If you want to use robot-advice, you should first .
A. consult human advice
B. wor out an investment plan
C. answer lots of questions online
D. analye your financial situation
34. What does the underlined phrase “that ind of service” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The allocation of retirement.
B. The robot-advice service.
C. Human fund management.
D. The performance difference.
35. Why do we still need the human adviser according to the tet?
A. Because some clients face retirement.
B. Because some finances are comple.
C. Because human interaction is necessary.
D. Because the human adviser offers better service.

It is generally belied that obesity is a global epidemic and crisis. But people’s view on weight is eeping us from doing things to help us get 61 healthy body. Obesity researchers hate 62 when I say this, but their own data shows that obesity is not going to ill us. Most obese people don’t have 63 (short) lifespan(寿命) than non=obese people and in fact it’s the underweight people 64 are at most at ris.
So why does everybody thin obesity is deadly? One reason is that obesity is associated with three different things that 65 (be) deadly and lead to shorter lifespan; being sedentary(久坐)；66 （have）lower income; and not getting enough medical care. Everyone, the media, the medical community operate
from the firm 67 (assume) that obesity is deadly. So any evidences contradicting that are ignored, It is true tat obese people are more liely 68 (get) diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But there are two things you need to realie. First of all, the obesity parado. When obese people get the 69 (disease), they’re less liely to die of them than non-obese people. Second, to reduce the riss that you may suffer from, you don’t 70 (actual) have to get thin. You just need to eercise.
