一、阅读理解
One of the best advantages of technological advancements is the fact that it has given us so much more freedom in the way we work. That so many jobs can be done remotely means you can travel and work from anywhere you want in the world. Here are some of the best cities to live and work in.
Tallinn, Estonia
Often overlooked as a tourist destination, Tallinn has become known as Europe's next Silicon Valley. Not only that, it is absolutely amazing. The Old Town has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is full of Gothic architecture and lots of historical landmarks.
Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is an ideal city for anyone who is crazy about wandering. It has a diverse culture, delicious and affordable food, and best of all, a low cost of living compared to other major cities. Its Neo-Renaissance architecture has made it one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
Da Nang, Vietnam
Unlike large cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, Da Nang's advantage is that it is still pretty unknown to many people. That means there are fewer tourists while still providing the same attractions of a big noisy city. Enjoy the most delicious food, buy fresh coconuts on the beach, and rent a motorbike and drive over Hai Van Pass.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is becoming popular as a co-working community, and it's clear why so many flooded into this city. With 300 days of sunshine each year, unbelievable nightlife, and delicious food, there are certainly worthwhile places to spend your time at. Lisbon has a growing tech scene but is still very leisurely.

The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D.program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and dau ghters. I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved.
Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got through it, finding moments of joy along the way. On the nights when I was home, I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She’d respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn.
After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D.to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grad-student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids.
Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of this worry. I’ve realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband landed a job that he is happy with. Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”
Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps, whatever path they choose.
4、How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D.program?
A.It was fruitful but exhausting.
B.It was the last thing she would do.
C.It was hopeful but challenging.
D.It was promising for the whole family.
5、Which can best replace the word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3?
A.boost.
B.change.
C.create.
D.choose.
6、What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph 4?
A.People are afraid of having cancer.
B.Cancer is health enemy No.1.
C.Her mother takes her job seriously.
D.Anne is proud of her mother.
7、What might be the best title of the text?
A.Onwards and Upwards
B.Double Gains of Mum’s Pursuit
C.Like Mother Like Daughter
D.Generation Gap Narrowed by Love
Faced with a declining population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care for the elderly.
However, the robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to perform single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf.
The VR-controlled robots are ten times cheaper than automated robots, because they don’t require advanced programming and are easier to develop and maintain. And their easy-to-use controls require little training. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager in charge of development at FamilyMart, believes this will enable the chain to recruit workers who would typically not work in stores.
Though Model-T appears to be getting rapidly through the experiments, it is not quite ready to enter the workforce. Besides being a lot slower than humans, it is also only able to lift packaged items, and cannot get hold of things such as fruits and vegetables. The company is working to improve the weaknesses and hopes to introduce a faster, more skillful Model-T within the next two years. They believe that in addition to the stores, the robots could also be useful in hospitals, allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.
8、What is one of the features of Model-T according to the text?
A.It works much faster than humans.
B.It can easily hold all kinds of objects.
C.It can be operated from a distance away.
D.It is harder to produce than an automated robot.
9、What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The low price of Model-T.
B.The easiness to operate Model-T.
C.The low-level programming of Model-T.
D.The strict training for maintaining Model-T.
10、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Model-T is now being massively produced.
B.Japan’s workforce will be reduced by Model-T.
C.The weaknesses of Model-T have been overcome.
D.Model-T may be used in wider fields in the future.
11、In which section of a website can we read this text?
A.Technology.
B.Economy.
C.Lifestyle.
D.Environment.
Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland, California, makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures. The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven. Many of them are sweet. For example, the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie. It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame (芝麻) seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside. Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau’s way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste. Lau’s restaurant also makes Chinese White Ra bbit candy cookies. Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods. Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store. She said: “We get a lot of comments, for example, ‘The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.’ ‘Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up.’” She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries (糕点).
Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years. Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new. The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
“Older traditiona l Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country. The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression,” said Robert Ku, who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state. He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy: The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
“The bakers are showing that their foods, which mix cultures, are just as American as apple pie. It’s sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that’s often ignored,” Ku said. “They’re instead really trying to fuse things together.”
12、What does Lau think of her work?
A.Tiring.
B.Demanding.
C.Confusing.
D.Rewarding.
13、What are the older traditional Asian bakeries trying to do?
A.Create a new way of showing their identities.
B.Celebrate the Asian culture in foreign countries.
C.Remind the immigrants of their hometown flavor.
D.Introduce young Asian Americans to new culture.
14、What does the underlined word “fuse” in the last paragraph mean?
bine.
B.Improve.
C.Invent.
D.Consume.
15、What is the suitable title for the text?
n American Cookies Become American's Favorite Food
B.Varieties of New Asian Foods Are Created by American Cooks
n American Bakeries Mix Together Cultures to Create New Foods
D.Traditional Asian Food Becomes Popular with American Young People
二、七选五
16、Experts are always advocating the health benefits of biking. And while the barrier to entry is low-pretty much all you need to know to start cycling is how to ride a bike itself—people often ask me if I have any tips for beginner bikers.
Below, a few things I’ve learned along the way that help make for a safer and more joyful ride:
Follow the rules of the road. Brake at yellow lights, stop for pedestrians and maintain a solid distance from cars.①______Therefore, never fly through stop signs, approach too close to the front vehicles or shout at cars.
②______A British doctor recently made headlines when he claimed that wearing a bike helmet is actually more dangerous than traveling without one, but most research suggests otherwise. A full 98 percent of bike commuters (上下班族) own a helmet, so you’ll be in good company, anyway.
Make a playlist. Laws against riding with headphones vary from state to state, and it’s never proper to listen to music in more than one ear. But cruising around to a soundtrack can be an amazing feeling, so consider buying a wireless speaker you can fix on your frame. ③______
Know your rights. If you do end up getting into a collision (碰撞), stay on the scene until the police come. ④______Cyclists are too often taken advantage of in bad situations, especially if their injuries don’t seem to be apparent.
Find some friends. As great as it can be to bike alone, zipping down the street in a big group is an equally satisfying experience. ⑤______Various bicycle trips are often organized, which provides opportunities to develop friendship among bikers.
A.Get fully equipped.
B.Be sure to get a helmet.
C.Most cities have enough resources for the cycling community.
D.It’s necessary that you give them an accurate report of the incident.
E.Most of us will feel it obviously safer to ride on a bike than in a car.
F.Then put together a list of your favorite tunes and get ready to enjoy them.
G.Pushing to the limit not only gives bikers a bad reputation, but also a great danger.

34、One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better.
Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to' the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
