Following increasing demands for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago, some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts（器物）to their countries of origin. They say people all over the world have only been ableto fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example, Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.The British Museum has not signed the declaration, but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years, it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles, sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum is the best possible place for them.“They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim, which is to show the world to the world,”said the director of the museum. 55．What reason do some museums provide for NOT handing back the ancient objects?A．Only in these museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.B．It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.C．They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.D．Ancient civilizations can only be admired when they are removed from their home countries 56．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the“countries of origin”in the article?A．Turkey. B．Britain. C．Egypt. D．Greece.57．What does the underlined phrase“the world”mean in“show the world to the world”?A．The global village. B．The leading museums.C．The ancient civilizations. D．The international public.58．The British Museum is to hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin.A．ready B．desperate C．unwilling D．supportive（C）Even though she’s just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She’s a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose.But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as she’s told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony’s barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibo’s innovations（创新）one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning.The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breathe into an inanimate（无生命的）object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking in one of the abilities that life-forms use to react to their environment.So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy’s case, it’s a multistep process. When presented a text like“I love you”and asked“Can you read this?”Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt digital camera scans a 15-degree radius in search of number-or letter-shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindy’s 16-bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 700 words. If it’s a match,“I love you,”she says. 59．This passage most likely appears in a .A．medical report B．classified adC．science journal D．music magazine60．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Robot Aibo?A．It could recognize shapes and colors.B．It could respond to spoken commands.C．It came onto the market no later than 1990.D．It was created much later than Cindy Smart.61．The underlined“it”in the third paragraph most likely refers to .A．the process B．the object C．the doll D．the company 62．According to the passage, how can Cindy“see”?A．She recognizes any text as“I love you.”B．She is equipped with a camera to search for text.C．She is instructed by an engineer standing next to her.D．She makes contact with the shapes of the text with her stomach.（D）If it takes Kate twenty seconds to add 12 and 26, while Terry can do the sum in a quarter the time on his pocket calculator, how much better grades will Terry get than Kate in the maths exam?Pocket calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essential to thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. Schools have tried to limit their use, by allowing them in science lessons, to save time but by not allowing them to be used in maths classes. When children do their homework, a pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in Britain, calculators can be used freely in school examinations, and already in many schools the only sound to be heard during a mathematics examination is the sound of children tapping out their answers.Many parents feel that their children are not being given a basic understanding of the facts of maths.“The process of addition, division, subtraction and multiplication is part of a training inlogic which is important for every child. It teaches them to take series of steps necessary in coming to a conclusion,”says a local maths teacher.“With a calculator, the child can reach the right answer, but have no idea at all how he got there.”Another teacher in the same school disagreed.“Of course the children understand the principles（基本原理）behind what they do on the calculator. It makes no difference to the mental processes they go through, except to make them much faster, and less boring.”“It’s far easier to teach them to completely understand the idea of division and multiplication by making them understand which button they need to push than totalk about apples being cut in pieces,”said another teacher, who uses calculators to keep the interest of his class.In any case, the pocket calculator is here to stay; it’s taking the stress out of mental labor in all sorts of ways.63．From the passage we learn that .A．in Britain students are encouraged by schools to use pocket calculatorsB．parents use the calculators to keep the interest of their childrenC．people have different opinions on whether pocket calculators should be used in maths classesD．all the teachers agree that pocket calculators should be used in classes but not in school examinations64．As a local maths teacher says, children can reach the right answer with a calculator, but they .A．really don’t know how they can get better gradesB．have no idea how to use the calculator properlyC．can’t understand whether the answer is rightD．don’t know how they get it65．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Calculators used to be as cheap as a pair of shoes.B．Some schools don’t allow the students to use pocket calculators in maths class.C．How to add, divide, subtract and multiply is a question of maths.D．It’s easy to calculate with a calculator.66．The author stands for the opinion that .A．students should be allowed to use pocket calculators freelyB．since the pocket calculator has been created, it should be made use ofC．pocket calculators shouldn’t be used by students in maths classesD．Terry should get grades four times better than KateDirections: Read the following passage which is followed by several questions. Give an answer to each question as required.（E）Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality（个性）. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exact technique or no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even learned from ballet, but first they had to abandon all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and saw it accepted.Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying（摇摆）of the tree and the rolling waves of the sea and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity（精湛技巧）shown by complicated positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance came fromher heart and soul. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.Her second contribution lies in dance costumes. She gave up corsets（紧身衣）, ballet shoes and still costumes. These were replaced with long loose dresses, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this idea.Her third contribution . In her performance she used the symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.She was as exciting and eccentric（古怪的）in her personal life as in her dance.67．What would be the best title of the passage?（Please answer within 8 words.）68．Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.（Please answer within 8 words.）69．According to the passage, what does the following paragraph most probably discuss?（Please answer within 8 words.）70．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.第Ⅱ卷（共30分）V. Spelling（10 points）71．To build a road in the mountainous areas was really （具有挑战性的）.72．The president presented the prizes （亲自）, which encouraged the staff.73．If you want to sell your product in large quantities, you’d better get it （登广告）. 74．It was （慷慨）of you to share your food with me.75．He is considered to be （贪婪的）for power than anyone else in the party. 76．He continued speaking，r of my feelings on the matter.77．The government is taking m to protect the environment in this area.78．Driving with c can prevent traffic accidents.79．Some high school graduates want to go abroad to r college education. 80．Even financial experts felt p when the value of the dollar suddenly fell.Ⅵ.

I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recordingevery incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.24. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history25. What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.26. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.27. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ________.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itCIf you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it’s not j ust overcrowded subway trains.Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can’t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator（自动扶梯）in subway stations. “Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.”Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.The logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette（礼仪）seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you’re transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.Many cities’ escalators, including London’s and Beijing’s, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people.（Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.）But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong’s subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalator s. Even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying：“If the person is i n such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there’s nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don’t stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.28．In the second paragraph, the underlined word It refers __________.A．the author’s living in the big city of Hong KongB．being crowded on the subway trains in rush hoursC．people’s blocking the way or chat on the escalatorsD．people’s standing on the right side resting29．When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong __________.A．stand still as the railway stations requireB．ignore the “stand right, walk left” signsC．use the stairs instead of escalatorsD．follow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette30．What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?A．Not everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.B．The BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.C．People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.D．People shouldn’t complain about the crowded escalators.31．Which of the following statements is the writer’s opinion?A．People should stand right no matter where they are.B．People should do as the Romans do and consider others.C．People should do as they like on the escalators.D．People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.DNowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. For many people, the high-tech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department ofAgriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.However, like any new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the world are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don' t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values.

Following increasing demands for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago, some of the world ’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts（器物）to their countries of origin. They say people all over the world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example, Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known ifthe museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.The British Museum has not signed the declaration, but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years, it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles, sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum is the best possible place for them. “ They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim, which is to show the world to the world, ” said the director of the museum.55． What reason do some museums provide for NOT handing back the ancient objects?A ． Only in these museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.B．It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.C．They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.D． Ancient civilizations can only be admired when they are removed from their home countries 56． Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the“ countries of origin” in the article?A ． Turkey.B ．Britain.C． Egypt.D． Greece.57． What does the underlined phrase“the world ” mean in“ show the world to the world ” ?A ． The global village.B． The leading museums.C．The ancient civilizations.D． The international public.58． The British Museum is to hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin.A ． readyB ．desperate C． unwilling D． supportive（ C）Even though she’s just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She ’s a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. Cindy looks likean average doll, with long, blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose.But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as she ’s told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony ’s barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibo ’s innovations（创新） one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors and words, and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning.The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breathe into an inanimate（无生命的） object. Its engineers began creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking in one of the abilities that life-forms use to react to their environment.So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy ’s case, it’s a multistep process. When presented a text like“ I love you ”and asked“ Can you read this?”Cindy identifies it as oneof 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt digital camera scans a 15-degree radius in search of number-or letter-shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindy’s 16-bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 700 words. If it ’s a match,“ I love you, ” she says. 59． This passage most likely appears in a.A ． medical report B． classified adC．science journal D． music magazine60． According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Robot Aibo?A ． It could recognize shapes and colors.B．It could respond to spoken commands.C．It came onto the market no later than 1990.D． It was created much later than Cindy Smart.61． The underlined “ it” in the third paragraph most likely refers to.A ． the processB ．the object C． the doll D． the company62． According to the passage, how can Cindy “ see” ?A ． She recognizes any text as“ I love you. ”B．She is equipped with a camera to search for text.C．She is instructed by an engineer standing next to her.D． She makes contact with the shapes of the text with her stomach.（D）If it takes Kate twenty seconds to add 12 and 26, while Terry can do the sum in a quarter the time on his pocket calculator, how much better grades will Terry get than Kate in the maths exam?Pocket calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essential to thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. Schools have tried to limit their use, by allowing them in science lessons, to save time but by not allowing them to be used in maths classes. When children do their homework, a pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in Britain, calculators can be used freely in school examinations, and already in many schools the only sound to be heardduring a mathematics examination is the sound of children tapping out their answers.Many parents feel that their children are not being given a basic understanding of the factsof maths.“ The process of addition, division, subtraction and multiplication is part of a training in logic which is important for every child. It teaches them to take series of steps necessary in coming to a conclusion, ” says a local maths teacher.“ With a calculator, the child can reach the right answer, but have no idea at all how he got there.” Another teacher in the same school disagreed.“ Of course the children understand the principles （基来源理） behind what they do on the calculator. It makes no difference to the mental processes they go through, except to make them much faster, and less boring. ”“ It ’s far easier to teach them to completely understand the ideaof division and multiplication by making them understand which button they need to push than to talk about apples being cut in pieces,” said another teacher, who uses calculators to keep the interest of his class.In any case, the pocket calculator is here to stay; it’s taking the stress out of mental labor inall sorts of ways.63． From the passage we learn that.A ． in Britain students are encouraged by schools to use pocket calculatorsB．parents use the calculators to keep the interest of their childrenC．people have different opinions on whether pocket calculators should be used in maths classesD． all the teachers agree that pocket calculators should be used in classes but not in school examinations64． As a local maths teacher says, children can reach the right answer with a calculator, but they.A ． really don ’tknow how they can get better gradesB．have no idea how to use the calculator properlyC．can’tunderstand whether the answer is rightD． don’tknow how they get it65． Which of the following is NOT true?A ． Calculators used to be as cheap as a pair of shoes.B．Some schools don’tallow the students to use pocket calculators in maths class.C．How to add, divide, subtract and multiply is a question of maths.D． It ’s easy to calculate with a calculator.66． The author stands for the opinion that.A ． students should be allowed to use pocket calculators freelyB．since the pocket calculator has been created, it should be made use ofC．pocket calculators shouldn ’tbe used by students in maths classesD． Terry should get grades four times better than KateDirections: Read the following passage which is followed by several questions. Give an answer to each question as required.（E）Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality （个性） . Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creativespirit. At the beginning there was no exact technique or no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even learned from ballet, but first they had to abandon all that wasacademic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and saw it accepted.Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying （摇晃） of the tree and the rolling waves of the sea and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity（精深技巧）shown by complicated positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance came from her heart and soul. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.Her second contribution lies in dance costumes. She gave up corsets （紧身衣） , ballet shoes and still costumes. These were replaced with long loose dresses, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this idea.Her third contribution. In her performance she used the symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.She was as exciting and eccentric（怪异的） in her personal life as in her dance.67． What would be the best title of the passage? （ Please answer within 8 words. ）68． Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.（ Please answer within 8 words. ）69． According to the passage, what does the following paragraph most probably discuss? （Please answer within 8 words. ）70． Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.第Ⅱ卷（共 30 分）V.Spelling（ 10 points）71． To build a road in the mountainous areas was really（拥有挑战性的）.72． The president presented the prizes（自）, which encouraged the staff.73．If you want to sell your product in large quantities, you’d better get it（登广告）. 74． It was（大方）of you to share your food with me.75． He is considered to be（婪的）for power than anyone else in the party.76． He continued speaking， r of my feelings on the matter.77． The government is taking m to protect the environment in this area.78． Driving with c can prevent traffic accidents.79． Some high school graduates want to go abroad to r college education.80． Even financial experts felt p when the value of the dollar suddenly fell.Ⅵ.Writing（20 point）Directions: Write an English composition in around 120 words according to the picture and instructions given below in Chinese.）假你开了一家向学生公寓出租器和家具的商铺，并可在网上（ 行交易。

I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally(毫不夸张地）hundreds of books.I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer will tell you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won't leave you alone until you write them down. I didn't have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didn't know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write.I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lies in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well.I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote: "I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well."24. As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ________.A. he wrote it downB. he ignored itC. he shared it on social mediaD. he told it to a writer25.

These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.Despite the convenience smart phones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits.As Sameer Samat, US tech company vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8, 70% of people don’t want to spend so much time on their phones.This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for thenew version of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they'll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer functions, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they've hit the limit，they won't be able to launch the app until the next day.But even if users become more mindf ul of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts his/her phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?28. People under the pressure of FOMO may________.A. have trouble with their sleepB. find it hard to focus on anythingC. be addicted to their mobile phonesD. prefer to download the latest apps29. What inspires Google to launch Dashboard?A.The limited functions of current Android system.B. People’s complaint about their smart phones.C. Samat’s impressive speech at a conference.D. Mobile phone users’ great demand.30. ________ can track users’ phone habits in detail.A. AndroidB. TimerC. ShushD. Dashboard31. What can be learned from the passage?A. Dashboard turned out to be popular.B. Dashboard is a perfect choice to manage time properly.C. Strong willpower is the easiest way to avoid smart phone addiction.D. People are exploring other ways to stop overusing smart phones.DWild animals are known to listen to each other for warnings that predators are near. Some birds, for example, flee when neighbors make a loud noise to announce a snake's presence.The fairy wren is a small Australian songbird. It is not born knowing the "languages" of other birds. But recent research says it can learn the meaning of a few important sounds.Andrew Radford is a biologist at the University of Bristol in England and co-writer of the new report published in early August in the journal Current Biology. He told the Associated Press, "We knew before that some animals can translate the meanings of other species' ‘foreign languages,' but we did not know how that ‘language learning' came about."Birds have several ways of learning life skills. Some knowledge is genetically passed down by their parents and some comes from direct experience with the world. But Radford and other scientists are exploring a third kind of knowledge: information from fellows.Radford and researchers at the Australian National University carried out the study in the country's National Botanic Gardens in Canberra.They attached to their bodies specially-designed, sound-producing equipment called "tweeter speakers." They wanted to see if fairy wrens would react to sounds of other birds even if they could not see them.The scientists first played the birds two recorded sounds that they likely had never heard before. One was a warning cry of a thornbill, a bird not native to Australia. The other was a computer-generated bird sound called "buzz."When the 16 fairy wrens in the study first heard the sounds, they had no special reaction. The scientists then tried to train half of the birds to recognize the thornbill's cry as a warning sound. They tried to train the other half to recognize the computer-generated "buzz" as a warning call.After three days, the scientists tested what the birds had learned — and their students passed the test. The fairy wrens trained with the thornbill's cry, fled when they heard it. The group trained with the buzz, fled when they heard that sound. Neither group reacted to the sound taught to the other.32. What does the underlined word“predators” in the first paragraph mean?A. enemiesB. neighborsC. birdsD. snakes33. Which is the right order of the experiment?a. The fairy wrens were divided into two parts.b. The fairy wrens made no reaction to the strange sounds.c. The fairy wrens wore sound-providing equipment.d. The fairy wrens were trained separately.e. The fairy wrens passed the test successfully.A. a b c d eB. c b a d eC. c e b a dD. a c e d b34. It can be learned from the study that the fairy wrens_______.A. were not good “foreign language” learnersB. made no reaction to the sounds all the timeC. took both of the sounds as warningsD. fled when hearing the sound trained with35. The passage is probably taken from________.A. A biology textbookB. A science magazineC. A science fictionD. A wildlife brochure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。

The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization（UNO）could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however risesthe problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, "Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime." If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.（1）According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A By solving the cost problems.B By solving the transportation problems.C By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.（2）What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?A Providing food is vital.B Learning to fish is helpful.C Teaching skills is essential.D Looking after others is important.（3）Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A A medical team.B An exchange program.C A water plant.D Financial support.（4）What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A It is facing difficulties.B It is unnecessary during normal times.C It should be given in the form of materials.D It has gained support from developed countries.3. The driver, Zhang Sai, hovered outside an apartment building in Wuhan, the central Chinese city at the heart of the coronavirus outbreak． He had been ordered not to take food to customers' doors in order to minimize the risk of infection． But the woman on the phone was pleading, he recalled． The food was for her mother, who couldn't go down to meet him． Mr． Zhang ________． He would drop off the order and sprint away． As he placed thebag on the floor, Mr． Zhang said, the door opened． Startled, he rushed away． Without thinking, he jabbed the elevator button with his finger, touching a surface that could transmit the virus． That was how Mr． Zhang, 32, found himself speeding back to his delivery station with one finger held aloft, careful not to touch the rest of his hand．For many in China, delivery drivers like Mr． Zhang are the only connection to the outside world． Once a common but invisible presence on the streets of nearly every Chinesecity, the drivers are now being honored as heroes． What exhausting and dangerous work! Mr． Zhang, who works for Hema, a supermarket chain owned by the tech giantAlibaba, crisscrosses （穿梭） the city armed only with the face masks and hand sanitizer that his company supplies each morning．The epidemic has brought some unexpected bright spots． Before, Mr． Zhang said, he sometimes ran red lights during rush hour in order to meet his delivery goals for the day． Now, the streets are empty． He has no problem getting around． People arenicer, too． Some customers barely opened the door or avoided eye contact． After the outbreak erupted, everyone said thank you．（1）Why Zhang Sai couldn't send food to customers' doors？________A To keep away from the deadly disease．B To reduce the chance of being transmitted．C To avoid communicating with others．D To give himself a day off．．（2）What does the underlined word "relented" in paragraph 1 refer to？________A promisedB deniedC admittedD refused．（3）What advantages did the epidemic bring accidently？________A Economic prosperity and long culture．B Busy business and peacefulpeople． C Splendid surroundings and energetic persons． D Empty streets and friendly people．．（4）What can be the best title for the text？________A The biography of Zhang Sai's．B How did Zhang Sai send food？C The driver Zhang Sai during the epidemic．D How was Zhang Sai infected？．4. Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers（零售商） are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper．But is renting fashion actually more environmentally﹣friendly than buying it, and ifso, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated （调查） this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems．Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented﹣ receiving and returning． Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing．She writes, "An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping． By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from n physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's．"Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it'sreturned, regardless of whether or not it was worn． For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process． All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene（氯乙烯） , a carcinogenic（致癌的） air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either．Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible． There's something called "share washing" that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco﹣friendly． Uber is one example of this, advertised as "a way to share rides and limit ear ownership．" and yet "it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use．"Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied． There's an even better step﹣that's wearing what is already in the closet,（1）What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental？________A Approving．B Unfavorable．C Objective，D Enthusiastic．．（2）The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that________．A rental services are on the riseB clothing rental will be as successful asUber C renting clothes might waste more than expected D renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion．（3）The author suggests that we should________．A give up renting any clothingB purchase inexpensive clothesC rent clothes rather than buy themD make full use of clothes we've possessed．（4）What is the passage mainly about？________A Clothing rental is a new fashion．B Clothing rental is retailers'preference． C Renting clothes is not that eco﹣friendly． D Renting﹣clothes business is in a dilemma，．二、七选五5.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。

B
This year marks the 170th anniversary of Paul Gauguin's birth. He lived for just 54 years but he packed his brief life with activity.
The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult,. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture.
The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism ( 印象派 ). Painters like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from "respectable" art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too.
