ATim Ma's parents came to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s. They opened a restaurant. It was not a success. They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. In part because of their own experiences, Ma's parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or doctor. They wanted financial security for their child.Growing up, Ma considered many professions – writer, fireman, even president. But he had a sense early on... ―I didn't want to be an engineer. However, Ma did well in math and science classes in high school and he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas. His uncle also owned one in New York.His parents, Ma says, could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job toopen a restaurant. They had worked long hours but their own restaurant still failed. They kept asking, ―Why?But Ma remained certain. He was going to do things differently than his parents. He was able to learn from their one major mistake as restaurant owners – they knew very little about theart of cooking. So, at age 30, Ma left engineering and returned to school – cooking school.Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking. In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. It is called Maple Avenue. At Maple Avenue, Ma cooked, cleaned the ovens, fixed equipment and paid bills. He worked long hours, seven days a week. His long hours paid off. Ma opened hisfourth restaurant last year, Kyirisan in Washington, D.C.Kyirisan's success is due to the creative menu and food, Ma says. But mostly it just comes from completely hard work. ―I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because you're smarter than anybody, not because you're more creative than anybody, just by working hard. And I think that's why a lot of people end up coming to America.1. Why did Ma’s parents want him to become an engineer or doctor?A. Their family had found success in engineering for generations.B. They were tired of running a restaurant.C. They thought it financially secure to be an engineer or doctor.D. They wanted him to try a career different from theirs.2. Why do a lot of people come to America?A. They can learn many things.B. They can run their business creatively.C. They can choose jobs freely.D. They can succeed through hard work.3. What can be the best title for the text?A. A suitable jobB. Follow your heartC. A successful businessD. Create your own business【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物介绍。

AI used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deer’s tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush.I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited for him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters thatday.Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.21. Why didn’t the author kill the deer?A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer.B. He was fooled by the tricky deer.C. He was sympathetic for the deer.D. He was too shocked to shoot the deer.22. What most probably happened to the deer in the end?A. Other hunters shot the deer to death.B. Other hunters scratched the deer’s head t oo.C. The deer managed to escape from being shot.D. The deer would become friends with the author.23. What’s the best title of this text?A.A Hunting in Late Fall.B.A Lovely Deer.C. The Cruel Killing.D. The Last Hunting.【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

AWhen Apple cut its expectation benefit for the last quarter of 2018 because of slow sales of iPhones, markets were shocked. The company’s share price, which had been sliding for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out. Apple’s suppliers’ shares were also hit. But Apple’s pain is humans’ gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.Nearly 4bn of the 5.5bn adults on the planet now have one smartphone. They connect billions of people to the internet’s huge amount of information and services. Phones make m arkets more efficient andinspire growth. Yes, they can be used for wasting time and spreading disinformation. But the good faroutweighs the bad. They might be the most effective tool of development in existence.Actually this slowdown is the result of market saturation (饱和). After a decade of rapid taking-in,there is much less opportunity to sell handsets to first-time buyers as so few of them are left. Andreplacement cycles are becoming longer as new models offer only insignificant improvements. For all butthe craziest fans, the slowing pace of upgrades comes as a welcome relief.Does that mean innovation (创新) is slowing? No. The latest phones contain amazingly clevertechnology such as 3D face-scanners and cameras assisted by artificial intelligence. Moreover, smartphonesalso provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for futureones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robotaxis.As computers become smaller, still more personal and closer to pe ople’s bodies, many scientistsbelieve that wearable devices will be the next big thing. Even so, finding another product with the range of the smartphone is a tall order. The recent slowing of smartphone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously. But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a transformative technology has become almost universal.21. The writer considers the slowdown of smartphone sales good news because ___________.A. it can make market more efficientB. it slows crazy fans’ pace of upgradesC. it means less disinformation will spreadD. it indicates the popularity of smartphones22. We can infer from the text that ___________.A. wearable devices will take the place of smartphones very soonB. in the future people might take a smartphone-controlled robotaxiC. Apple’s suppliers’ shares hit a record high after the news came outD. Apple’s share prices are likely to go on sliding in the next decade23. What is the best title for the text? A. A Brand New Age for Humans B. Smartphone, a Good Tool or a Bad Tool? C. New Technology in SmartphonesD. Bad News for Apple, Good News for HumansBIf 62 is the number in red on the top of your math test, for most of us, it's a total disaster. Yourentire week is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day. If 9 is the number oflikes on that cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, assessments, and numbers. The days of passingjudgment on others based on personality are gone, and now we judge based on how good a person'snumbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another person's weight ishow high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.In today's social media consumed society, it has never been easier for people to broadcast theirnumbers to the world. A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the numberof friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you don't have a certainnumber of followers, then you aren't “cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people are此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate. Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see who you really are. In the end. self-worth should be based on what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot and should not define(定义)you. You are not your numbers. You are a person-a3-D living and breathing person with ideas and creativity and love that the rigidity of numbers cannot represent. You are the things you love and the things you laugh at and the way you treat others.24. How does the author sound in Paragraph 2?A. Regretful.B. Conservative.C. Doubtful.D. Friendly.25. According to the passage, teenagers believe it cool to .A. display their status updatesB. post their daily doings onlineC. win recognition on social mediaD. define their self-worth themselves26. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Numbers make What You AreB. You Are More Than a NumberC. It's Your Number That MattersD. Let's Stop Sharing Our NumbersCIt was a cold and wet night. I had just left a local club to travel home when I lost control of my car. I crashed into a car, then hit a tree. The force was so great that it shunted(使移开) the parked car several meters forwards. I was knocked out cold. Worse still, I had no idea that a fire had started under the bonnet(引擎盖)of my car. It then set the tree on fire.Driving in the car behind me was a young man, who I later found out was called Jared. He saw the accident occur, and stopped to help me out of the burning car. He put his own life in danger when he got into the back seat to try to undo my seat belt. This wasn’t easy because I’d hit the car on my driver’s side and my seat belt was squeezed into the console(操纵台).With my seat belt undone, Jared then hit open the driver’s window to drag me out as I had still not regained consciousness. He bravely did this while my car and the tree were burning. Woken by the crash, the homeowners came out to investigate. Jared told them to ring emergency services. I was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a serious condition. I eventually woke up a day later.I owe my life to Jared and I consider him a friend due to the special bond. Jared says that although the events of that night initially shocked him, he never once hesitated to help. In addition, he doesn’t believe that he did anything special.27.What happened to the author in the crash?A. He was knocked out of his car.B. He was knocked unconscious.C. He felt cold because of bleeding.D. He climbed on the tree to escape fire.28.Why did Jared get into the back seat?A. To unfasten the author’s seat belt.B. To get the author out of the car.C. To help the author drive the car safely.D. To put out the burning fire in the car.29.What is the special bond for the author?A. Jared’s noble character.B. The motivation for Jared’s behavior.C. Jared’s dragging him to safety.D. His making friends with Jared.30.Which is the best title for the passage?A.A narrow escape from deathB.A courageous crash rescueC. Jared, my best friendD.A frightening car fire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。

AI used to be crazy about the hunting season. The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.Early on that day of the late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deer’s tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush.I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited f or him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!Wha t happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.21. Why didn’t the author kill the deer?A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer.B. He was fooled by the tricky deer.C. He was sympathetic for the deer.D. He was too shocked to shoot the deer.22. What most probably happened to the deer in the end?A. Other hunters shot the deer to death.B. Other hunters scratched the deer’s head too.C. The deer managed to escape from being shot.D. The deer would become friends with the author.23. What’s the best title of this text?A.A Hunting in Late Fall.B.A Lovely Deer.C. The Cruel Killing.D. The Last Hunting.【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

ATim Ma's parents came to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s. They opened a restaurant. It was not a success. They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. In part because of their own experiences, Ma's parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or doctor. They wanted financial security for their child.Growing up, Ma considered many professions – writer, fireman, even president. But he had a sense early on... ―I didn't want to be an engineer. However, Ma did well in math and science classes in high school and he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas. His uncle also owned one in New York.His parents, Ma says, could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant. They had worked long hours but their own restaurant still failed. They kept asking, ―Why?But Ma remained certain. He was going to do things differently than his parents. He was able to learn from their one major mistake as restaurant owners – they knew very little about the art of cooking. So, at age 30, Ma left engineering and returned to school – cooking school.Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking. In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. It is called Maple Avenue. At Maple Avenue, Ma cooked, cleaned the ovens, fixed equipment and paid bills. He worked long hours, seven days a week. His long hours paid off. Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year, Kyirisan in Washington, D.C.Kyirisan's success is due to the creative menu and food, Ma says. But mostly it just comes from completely hard work. ―I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because you're smarter than anybody, not because you're more creative than anybody, just by working hard. And I think that's whya lot of people end up coming to America.21. Why did Ma’s parents want him to become an engineer or doctor? A. Their family had found success in engineering for generations. B. They were tired of running a restaurant.C. They thought it financially secure to be an engineer or doctor.D. They wanted him to try a career different from theirs.22. Why do a lot of people come to America?A. They can learn many things.B. They can run their business creatively.C. They can choose jobs freely.D. They can succeed through hard work.23. What can be the best title for the text? A. A suitable job B. Follow your heart C. A successful businessD. Create your own businessBMicrosoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with ALS （渐冻症）to communicate with others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence t o recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS also known as motor neurone （神经元）disease, eye movement can be the only way to communicate. “Current eye -tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor disabilities are expensive, not constant under sunlight, and require frequent readjustment and considerable, relatively fixed systems,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To reduce the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye -gesture communication system running on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, constant, portable and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make for communication.The label shows four grids （方格） of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids they want the letters belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm （计算程序） is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhang’s research, Smartphone -Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set英语试题第3页（共8页）英语试题第4页（共8页）to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.24. How does the new smartphone app help people with ALS?A. By connecting its camera with sufferers’ appearance.B. By communicating with people directly with a camera.C. By changing eye movements into detailed written information.D. By looking into the eyes of the sufferers.25. Why did the researchers develop GazeSpeak？A. GazeSpeak will have fewer disadvantages.B. Current systems can’t function effectively.C. GazeSpeak can be properly used in the medical field.D. Current systems can increase the risk of motor disabilities.26. What can we know according the text?A. Sufferers’ eye movements are determined by GazeSpeak.B. Current systems are solid but costly for sufferers.C. GazeSpeak has helped people a lot.D. GazeSpeak hasn’t been practically on the market.CThe first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B.C. This system developed because the pharaohs frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Messages carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up his idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.In China, however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000 stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.In 1653, a Frenchman, Renouard de V elayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient , but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer's system came to an end when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British schoolteacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other, His idea helped the British postal system begin to earn profits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately" (stamp collecting).27. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How international letters travel.B. A surprising method for delivering mail.C. The history of postal systems.D. Changes in the methods of communication.28. Which of the following statements about Renouard de Velayer is true?A. His was a government-controlled system.B. His competitors destroyed his business.C. His system lasted for hundreds of years.D. In his system, the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.29. Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?A. Egyptian.B. Chinese.C. de V elayer's.D. von Taxis's.30. What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?A. He made letter writing accessible to the average person.B. He made a lot of money for the British postal system.C. He made stamp collecting a popular hobby.D. He won an award for letter writing.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。
