I went to Djerba, Tunisia last summer. It was truly one of the more attractive destinations I had ever visited. I must admit that I had never seen so a beautiful coastline before. I spent most of me days walking on the beach but enjoying the sun and the peaceful sound of the waves. On my four day there, I took a tour and visit some local attractions, including the EI Ghriba Synagogue. And that was unforgettable experience. Overall, I felt so lucky to be there because of everything was better than I could ever imagine. I’m looking forward to explore more of the beautiful of the country next time.

文章主要论述了艺术在国家经济社会发展中的重要作用。

13. Few would question that arts, in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political
situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically.
Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts.
Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation.
Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.
More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for governments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.
While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked.
1. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The forms of arts.
B．The functions of arts.
C．The definition of arts.
D．The development of arts.
2. How do arts influence human rights and values?
A．By reflecting humans’ views.
B．By pointing out the common good.
C．By giving people a sense of fulfilment.
D．By forming the moral standard of society.
3. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4?
A．To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements.
B．To call on humans to remember our history.
C．To stress the importance of arts in creativity.
D．To show the necessity of knowledge and skills.
4. What will the author probably agree with?
A．Arts serve as the major influence in values.
B．Arts play a part in the progress of a country.
C．Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds.
D．Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor.

文章介绍了科学家发现了一种对恢复静纤毛功能的蛋白质。

14. Tiny sensory hair cells called stereocilia(静纤毛)located in your inner ear are responsible for detecting sound. When these become damaged, either by genetic disorders, loud sounds or old age, it can lead to hearing difficulties and even deafness.
Now, in a series of experiments on mice, researchers based at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of Sheffield have identified a protein that can be delivered to these hair cells in order to stimulate their growth. “Our discovery shows that hair cell function can be restored in certain cells,” said Dr Uri Manor, assistant research professor and director of the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Core at Salk.
Stereocilia hair cells are found throughout the cochlea(耳蜗). Regions of the cochlea that sense low frequencies have longer stereocilia, while regions that sense high frequencies have shorter stereocilia. When sounds enter the ear, they cause fluid within the cochlea to vibrate(振动), which in turn causes the stereocilia to move. These hair cells then send signals to neurons(神经元), which pass on information about the sounds that we are hearing to the brain.
In their previous studies, Manor and Prof Walter Marotti found that the protein EPS8 was involved in determining the length of stereocilia. Without the protein, the growth of the hairs is stunted and they remain very short. For this latest study, the two researchers teamed up to design an experiment to see if adding EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells could stimulate their regrowth and improve hearing in mic. They used a common gene therapy(基因治疗)technique to deliver the protein to the hair cells on the back of a virus. They then investigated the effects using imaging techniques.
The team found that EPS8 increased the length of the stereocilia and restored their function in low-frequency cells, although not enough to restore the hearing of the mice. However, they also found that the cells seemed to lose their ability to regenerate as they aged. The researchers now plan to investigate the action of EPS8 further, with the hope of extending the age range over which it is effective.
1. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraphs 1 and 2?
A．To reveal causes of hearing problems.
B．To show different functions of stereocilia.
C．To prove the necessity of hearing protection.
D．To introduce the finding of a hearing-improving protein.
2. What does the underlined word “stunted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Guaranteed.B．Prevented.C．Recorded.D．Reflected.
3. What did the researchers use the gene therapy technique to do?
A．Help mice grow faster.B．Keep viruses from growing.
C．Send EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells D．Remove aged stereocilia hair cells.
4. What do the researchers plan to do?
A．Restore the hearing of the mice.B．Make EPS8 effective in aging cells.
C．Investigate the formation of EPS8.D．Count low-frequency cells of aging mice.
15. Apples are packed with amazing health benefits: weight loss, heart protection, lowering your risk for diabetes, and many more. Not only are they good for you, but they taste yummy too! The only problem is that the slices we pack for lunch are always an unappetizing brown by the time we dig them out of the fridge. Apple slices turn brown because the enzymes(酶) called polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the fruit’s flesh react with oxygen in the air. The reaction makes the fruit go from a soft yellow to a rotten-looking brown.
Fortunately, there is an apple you can pick up at the grocery store that won’t turn brown for a while — the Opal apple. Opal apples are naturally low in PPO, which means they’ll stay fresh and white long after you cut them. Serious Eats even tested the claim, and after sitting out unwrapped for more than six hours, the apple had barely any browning. And here’s why apples have those little spots on their skin, too.
Y ou may ask if genetic modification plays a role in keeping the fruit’s browning flesh at bay. In fact, you may even ask if Opal apples are safe to eat because they can do something most apples can’t. But, according to the Opal website, they’re the first apple to be verified by the Non-GMO Project, the gold standard for certification. “We understand that some consumers are concerned about genetically modified organism (GMO) products and felt it was important to clarify the natural non-browning characteristic is just that — natrual,” said Keith Mathews, CEO of FirstFruits Marketing, in a press release.
The Opal apple is actually a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Topaz apple, and it’s crisp with a sweet, floral flavor. Plus, it still has all the health benefits that every other apple has. Although FirstFruits Marketing does not publish nutrition facts for the Opal apples, the yellow apple’s nutrition value should be similar, if not the same, to every other apple at the supermarket.
Even though there’s no published data on Opal apples and their antioxidant(抗氧剂) content, it’s safe to assume that, much like their apple cousins, their white flesh is still a good source of antioxidant that’s found in greater concentrations inside the fruit instead of on the peel. And Opal apples may even preserve the antioxidants better than other apples simply because they don’t brown as quickly. The oxidation process actually steals some of the apple’s antioxidant content. If you’re now considering trying the Opal apple, it will never let you down.
1. What will happen to the ordinary apple slices put in the air?
A．They will turn brown.
B．They will lose all nutrients.
C．They will produce toxic substances
D．They will make people more appetizing.
2. How is the Opal apple different from other apples?
A．It is rich in nutrition.
B．It contains less PPO.
C．It is genetically modified
D．It has no spots on its skin.
3. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A．Opal apples are unsafe to eat because of its unique.
B．Keith Mathews doubts if the Opal apple is natural.
C．Some people are concerned the safety of the Opal apple.
D．The Opal apple is the only one certified by the Non-GMO Project.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards the Opal apple?
A．Negative.B．Objective.
C．Indifferent.D．Positive.
16. While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.
The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program for Auckland elementary schools.
Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”
The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.
1. What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?
A．A digital teacher taught them.
B．They first saw something digital.
C．This was the start of a new school year.
D．They could get close to smartphone screen.
2. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?
A．It can smile back.B．It can use microphone.
C．It can talk any topic for free.D．It can change if necessary.
3. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?
A．Optimistic.B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear.D．Disapproving.
4. What might be the best title for the passage?
A．New High-tech Contributes to Education
B．The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.
C．The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to Students
D．New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms

17. Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and
pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. 1
E ating local food is good for the environment.
It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. 2 It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases.

It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals. 4 It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice.
However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases. 5 So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what's really green.
A．They mistake them for food.
B．Here are some common ones.
C．Unfortunately, it is not that simple.
D．It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
E．A paper bag is more environmentally friendly.
F．In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment.
G．When we turn off a machine, it goes into a stand-by state.

The fresh thin air, snow-covered mountains and graceful animals running on the plains are 1 we’re here-to observe Tibetan antelopes, which are being hunted, 2 (legal), for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, who works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. “We’re not trying to save the animals,”he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save 3 (we).”
During the 1980s and 1990s, the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent, as hunters were shooting antelopes to make
4 (profit). To save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched
over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from 5 (attack). Bridges and gates 6 ( add ) to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
As 7 result, the antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the 8 (danger) species list.
The govermment, however, does not intend 9 (stop) the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature 10 we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.。
