When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself , “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me”. No one could have had a more active old age．
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home
and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927．Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it” she said．
4. What can we learn about Moses?
A. She stopped painting in her late seventies.
B. She still led an active life when she was old.
C. Her marriage life was not happy.
D. She painted oils as a child.
5. What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing?

C
Cowboy or spaceman? A dilemma for a children’s party, perhaps. But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our economies, he warned, like cowboys on the open gras sland: taking and using the world’s resources, confident that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themselves, want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas achieve
lift-off?
To its advocators, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is ignored in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, households and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a mistake, say ecological economists.
There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive use of resources. Only the former, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a crude measure which does not take account of resource exhaustion, unpaid work, and countless other factors. In its place they advocate moreholistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a composite index(复合指标) that
includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person peaked in 1978: by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, a former World Bank economist and eco-guru, is a “steady-state” economy, where the use of materials and energy is held constant.
Mainstream economists are unimpressed. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction. In 20XX a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change. That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions, even if their answers turn out to be wrong.
8. Kenneth Boulding and the content of his essay at the beginning of this passage are meant to.
A. point out how ignorant of nature the cowboys are
B. blame human beings for their exploitation of nature
C. ask people to take seriously the environment limits
D. introduce ecological economists and ecologist economics
9. According to ecological economists, what is the mistake existing in conventional textbooks?
A. Ecology and economics are not mixed together
B. Human economy isn’t recognized as parts of nature
C. The environment has both resources and wastes
D. Diagrams connect firms, households and the government
10. The comparison between GDP and GPI data in 1978 has warned us that.
A. GDP is crude measure that is not worth using
B. car accident should by all means include in GDP
C. we are gaining material wealth by destroying nature
D. resources and energy will one day be totally used up
11. Which in the following will the author probably agree?
A. the aims and assumptions of economics need to be revolutionized
B. GDP and GPI should be both accepted by mainstream economists
C. Human beings can always find solutions to all the annoying problems
D. Ecological economists’ concerns about the world are worth noticing.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】

China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, according to a new study, while Europe will fall behind Korea, the United States and Japan in terms of 5G penetration (渗透) by that year.
5G is the fifth generation of network technology. It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots self-driving cars, and the Internet of things.
The GSMA said that China's three major mobile operators--China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom--are already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study noted that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.
One of the most distinguishing actors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build a completely advanced 5G. The high cost underlines China's seriousness about paying whatever it takes.
Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nation's total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent
in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks.
12. What will 5G bring?
A. A completely new pattern for daily life.
B. Realizing the potential in many new services.
C. Excellent networks and national safety.
D. Amazing speeds for public transportation.
13. What is the future of 5G in China?
A. It may be lack of government support.
B. It will move forward slowly.
C. It will develop rapidly.
D. It may fall behind Europe.
14. Which of the following best explains "erect" underlined in paragraph 4?
A.set up
B. bring up
C. turn up
D. pick up 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Chinese cannot own 5G in 2025. B. More than half Koreans use 5G in 2025. C. Only five countries will have 5G in 2025. D. Europe will pay little attention to 5G in 2025. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。

A message appeared in my Facebook Messenger inbox. It was from a woman I met briefly through a friend. “Hello, lady. Invite you to join my next challenge group —we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise, balanced nutrition and motivation. Let me help you reach
yourgoals!”
I laughed and ignored it. Though I’m a little fat, I’m healthy. But the meaning behind the message stuck with me all day. The more the day went on, the heavier her message weighed on me. The insecurity about my body was brought to life by one little Facebook message. That got me thinking about stepping away from socialmedia.
But what drove the nail into my Facebook coffin was when I posted a photo — and five minutes later my son asked how many “likes” itgot.
Likes equal acceptance and approval, which need to come from within. I unknowingly set a dangerous example as it won’t be long before he has his own phone and the freedom to post his own pictures. I didn’t want him to wait for his friends to “like” them and like an d accept him. He should know his self-worth doesn’t rely on what others think or click.
I deactivated my Facebook account. At first I felt lost. I missed the mindless scrolling( 滚动) while waiting in lineups. I carried a book with me. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook as first thing in the morning and last thing at night, so I had to come up with some new habits.
And the results were immediate once the fog of Facebook disappeared. We were much happier as a family because I was completely present and the break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
4.Why did the author feel the message heavier onher?
A. Her figure attractedothers’attention.

D. Lack of time forreading.
6.What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 5 p robablymean?
A.Changed.
B.Canceled.
C.Hid.
D. Set.
7.Which can be a suitable title for thetext?
A. Return to aNormal Life
B. Hello,Happiness
C. Develop aGoodHabit
D. Goodbye, SocialMedia

The number of birds in North America has declined by almost 3 billion since 1970, according to a study published in Science. The researchers estimated changes in the populations of 529 species using long-term bird-monitoring databases. Those data showed that the number of individual birds across all of those species had decreased by 29 percent, from around 10 billion in 1970 to just over 7 billion in 20XX.
“The data they used provide probably the best long-term, large information on species abundances for any group of animals or plants anywhere in the world,” Natalie Wrig ht, a bird biologist tells The Atlantic. “There’s always uncertainty, but if they are wrong, they are likely underestimating the size of population declines.”
The team also examined 10 years’ worth of data from a network of 143 weather radars, which pick up bird migrations, and found a reduction in migratory biomass of about 14 percent since 20XX. “Two completely different and independent monitoring techniques thus signal major population loss across the continent,” the authors wrote in their paper.
The results are particularly concerning because many of the species showing declines are not considered rare or in danger, but are almost everywhere and potentially act as important contributors to food webs and ecosystem function. More than 90 percent of the loss in
abundance in the survey data was due to declines in 12 families, including sparrows and blackbirds. Some other species, including many ducks, instead showed increases in abundance — possibly as a result of focused conservation efforts in recent years.
The findings should be a wake-up call. Many of the birds studied spend time in multiple countries within and beyond North America. What our birds need now is a historic, global effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birdsback.
8.How does the first paragraph show the birdreduction?
A. Bycomparingfigures.
B. By listing someexamples.
C. By usingexperts’words.
D. By doingexperiments.
9.What can we infer about the function of the data according to NatalieWright?
A. It’s wrong.
B.It’s formal.
C. It’s helpful.
D. It’s useless.
10.Which of the following is particularlyworrying?
A.The focus of conservation efforts has turned outwrong.
B.Some ducks are likely to lose their ecosystemfunction.
C.Few species across the continent show theincrease.
D.The population of widespread species isdeclining.
11.What is the author’s purpose in writing thetext?
A.To point out the importance of raisingbirds.
B.To call on people to work together to bring birdsback.
C.To analyze the concerning results of long-termresearch.
D.To inform people of the dangers many species arefacing.

Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this, a new study concludes.
Tounderstandthechallenge, imagineacarthatsuddenlymeetssomepedestrians(行人) in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So the car’s artificial intelligence mustdecidewhethertoswerve(急转弯). Tosavethepedestrians, shouldthecarswerveoffthe road or swerve into oncoming traffic? What if such options would likely kill th e car’sdriver?
Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that automated cars should be designed to protect the most people. But there’s a dilemma( 困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs —even if the pedestrians would now end up dying.
Makers of computerized cars are in a tough spot, Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.
Compromises might be possible, Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decline. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society.”
pared with the traditional cars, what’s the advantage of driverlesscars?
A.People can more easily affordthem.
B.They do greater harm to the environment.
C.They can reduce trafficjams.
D.The traffic accidents are likely to be on theincrease.
13.What do we learn from thetext?
A.People are in a difficult situation about driverlesscars.
B.Car makers believe driverless cars could attractbuyers.
C.Most buyers would want their cars to protect thepedestrians.
D.Survey participants think driverless cars should protect the leastpeople.
14.What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-drivingcars?
A.Doubtful.
B.Favorable.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Disapproving.
15.In which section of a newspaper may this textappear?
A.Environment.

For Potterheads everywhere, however, deciding when to make the trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is not easy. These tips will help you experience the best of the Wizarding World, whether you’re looking to save money, avoid the busy seaso n, or simply experience the most magical times of the year.

The cheapest (and least busy) months to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter are January and most of February, except the days surrounding the New Year and winter break. Other inexpensive times include the beginning of March and most of September and October.
The best Harry Potter events at Universal
While they may not be the quietest times to explore Harry Potter’s world, Universal holds many e vents throughout the year that fans won’t want to miss.
● A Celebration of Harry Potter
For a weekend every January, Universal hosts A Celebration of Harry Potter. Guests (wearing their class robes, no doubt) will join other diehard Potter fans for three days of exhibits, discussions and cast Q&A activities. For anyone who really loves the books and the films, this may be one of the best times of the year to visit.
●Christmas in the Wizarding World
Universal’s new additions to their holiday entertainment lineu p make Hogwarts the perfect place to be around Christmastime. Decorations add beauty to the shops of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, the Frog Choir sings Christmas carols (颂歌)，and snow falls on Hogwarts as a festive show takes place in front of the castle.
●Halloween in the Wizarding World。
