    America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.

    There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.

    For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客)at home and enjoy your visit in America!

    33The underlined phrase "pick up" in Paragraph 1 may mean "_________________".

    Aput down               Bgive up                   Cpay no attention to   Dcontinue

    34From the passage, we can know_________________.

    AAmericans are always generous with their time.

    BAmericans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.

    CChinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.

    DChinese friendships develop faster than American friendships.

    35This passage is most probably written for __________________.

    AAmerican students                                     BChinese students

    CChinese visitors to America                         DAmerican visitors to China

        Have you ever thought about how many different things you like? You may like pets, parties, presents, foods, and even superheroes! Our world is full of so many things to like!

    Do you ever wonder (琢磨) why you like certain animals or why you like to do certain things? You may not think about it often, but you may learn something about yourself if you think twice.

    For example, why do you like to play with cats more than dogs? Why do you like going to parties and playing games? Why do you like some sweets but not others?

    Our personality helps form what we like and dislike. Sometimes the things we like just come naturally to us. For example, who’s your favourite superhero? You probably like that character (人物) for reasons that are all your own. You may not have even thought about why you like that superhero... you just do.

    As you learn more and do more, you may find out that there are more and more things you like. That’s a good thing!

    Do your friends like the same things that you do? Maybe you and your friends like different things. But it’s OK. What you like is part of what makes you you!

    51Our world is full of ________ to like.

    52You may ________ if you think twice.

    53Our personality helps form ________.

        People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住处), and even the air we breathe (呼吸).

    Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.

    Plants are also part of the water cycle (水循环). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.

    Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (谷物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.

    When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!

    Trees are an important plant resource (资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

    36________ is part of the air we breathe.

    ASunlight                 BWater                     CFood                      DOxygen

    37What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in?

    AIt goes back into the air.                              BIt stays in the plant.

    CIt goes into the ground.                               DIt stays in the river.

    38What does the phrase “cut down on” mean in Paragraph 5?

    ACause.                   BAccept.                  CReduce.                  DExpect.

    39What is the best title of the passage?

    AA Different Place                                       BThe Uses of Plants

    CFood on the Earth                                      DGardens at Home

    40You would find the passage in ________.

    Aan interesting novel                                    Ba book about animals

    Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and challenges come together.

    Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.

    In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

    A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?

    Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

    Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.

    Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.

    So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it .There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine . It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

    But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to —and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.

    30According to the passage, how does technology help health care?

    AIt encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites

    BIt offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis

    CIt improves relations between doctors and patients.

    DIt provides an opportunity to build a medical team

    31The word “intuition” in Paragraph 5 probably means______.

    Aan ability to understand                               Ban interesting experience

    Ca chance to win                                          Da fair decision

    32What do you know about techno-health care from the passage?

    APatient websites require trust from doctors.

    BTalented companies can give medical advice.

    CFlagged results may cause worry for patients.

    DMedical equipment collects patients’ stories.

    33The writer probably agrees that_____.

    Atechnology can deal with unexpected effects.

    Btelemedicine can take the place of usual health care.

    Cit is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age.

    Dtechno-health care should take humanity into consideration.

        Women walk in space

    There will soon be a “giant leap” for womankind in space. If all goes according to plan, two female NASA astronauts will take a spacewalk on March 29. This will be the first all-female spacewalk in history.

    Pilot Anne McClain, A US Army major(陆军少校), and electrical engineer Christina Koch will walk outside the International Space Station(ISS). Their mission is to replace batteries that were installed on the ISS last summer. NASA estimates (估计) that their walk will last about seven hours.

    Working in space can be quite dangerous. It is typically believed that male astronauts are more suited to space missions. Women are more likely to work at ground control or do research.

    According to NASA, fewer than 11 percent of the more than 500 people who have been into space have been female. During the 213 spacewalks that have taken place at the ISS since 1998. the astronaut teams doing the walks have either been all-male or male-female.

    McClain and Koch’s spacewalk is definitely a big step for women. "It resonates(产生共鸣) with women around the agency that we are at this point, " NASA spokeswoman Stephanie Schierholz told the Guardian.

    More women around the world are becoming astronauts. Women have certain advantages when it comes to working in space. They tend to be smaller, which means they take up less room and need less oxygen and food than men, Forbes said.

    Also, woman are less likely to have heart attacks and are less sensitive to heat, cold, pain and noise. Studies have also shown that women deal with loneliness better than men, Forbes said.

    Female astronauts making milestones(里程碑)

    Valentina Tereshkova from the Soviet Union became the first woman to go into space in 1963——just two years after the first man.

    In 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya from the Soviet Union was the first woman to walk in space

    Liu Yang became the first female astronaut from China to go into space in 2012.

    42What does the "giant leap"in the first paragraph refer to?

    ANASA will send two female astronauts into space

    BA team of all-female astronauts will take a spacewalk

    CFemale astronauts will replace batteries on the ISS

    DNASA astronauts will set a record of the longest spacewalk.

    43According to NASA, how many women have gone into space?

    AAbout 22               BAround 55              CAbout 213              DMore than 500

    44According to Forbes, women may be better able to work in space because  ________ .

    Athey are more willing than men to become astronaut     Bthey work well with others

    Cthey do not get sick easily                           Dthey have certain physical advantages

    45What do we know from the story?

    AThe two astronauts will arrive at the ISS on March 29

        How does fake ‘meat’ taste?

    What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “space meat”? It sounds quite weird. But in fact, it could very well be the future of the human diet.

    A Russian astronaut recently “grew” meat aboard the International Space Station. Yes, you read that right - he grew it using cells provided by an Israeli company called Aleph Farms. But in fact, he was not the first person to create lab-grown meat. Dutch scientist Mark Post grew the first lab meat in 2013.

    But why bother growing meat in a lab when we can get the real thing from cows? For one thing, lab-grown meat is healthier. “We gain greater control over what the meat consists of(……组成), for example its fat content,” Post said in an interview with The Atlantic. Lab-grown meat is also free of the chemicals that are used on farms, such as pesticides(农药) and growth hormones(激素).

    Are there other ways to replace(代替) regular meat? McDonalds is trying to do so with the P.L.T., which stands for plant, lettuce and tomato. The first P.L.T. burgers are already being sold in Canada, according to the fast food company.

    The “meat” in the P.L.T. is made out of Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat substitute( 替代品 ) created by a company from Los Angeles, US. The company uses pea, rice and bean proteins to produce patties(肉饼) that look and taste like real meat.

    Experts doubt whether these products are healthier than real meat. But they have already proven to be a success, with several fast food companies already offering such products on their menus, according to Fox Business.

    38What did the Russian astronaut do recently?

    AHe grew meat on the International Space Station.  BHe provided cells for an Israeli company.

    CHe built a lab for growing meat in space.      DHe created the first lab-grown meat in the world.

    39Why is lab-grown meat healthier than real meat?

    ABecause it is produced in clean labs.             BBecause it is made from healthy cells.

    CBecause lab meat doesn’t consist of fat.        DBecause producers can control what’s in the meat.

    40According to the story, P.L.T. burgers ________ .

    Ataste better than normal burgers                   Bare made out of plant protein

    Care already being sold in the US                   Dare served by many fast food companies

    41What do experts think of plant-based meat products?

    AThey will be the future of the human diet.    

    BThey are free from harmful chemicals.

    CThey might not be healthier than real meat.  

    DThey have already proven to be a success.

    After the stick is put vertically, you can see its shadow on the ground. Mark the end of the shadow.

    Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.

    Keep doing this until you have made several marks.

    The mark nearest the stick will show the shortest shadow when it is middaybecause at that time the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.

    Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.

    Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffeethey don't all have the same coffee culture. In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克) coffee shops spread throughout the country

    The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washingtonin the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.

    Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment (设备) . He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing (市场营销).

    In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.

    Howeverthat does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing (竞争) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks.

    (    )36. The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3 probably means .

    A. closed     B. managed     C. made     D. sold

    (    )37. According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences

    a. This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.

    b. Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.

    c. He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.

    d. Howard Schultz found Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.

    A. abdc B. cabd C. bdca D. dcab

    (    )38. Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas

    A. Because the coffee in these places was too expensive

    B. Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same

    Facial recognition technology(人脸识别技术)is widely used today. For example, police use it to search for bad guys. It's also used to unlock phones or doors.

    Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection(探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising(广告).

    Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can judge a person's "happiness" or "fear" level. That helps businesses see how people feel as they lo at products or advertisements in the store. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so, stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.

    Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in those boards can detect information like people's ages and five levels of feelings——from "very happy" to "very unhappy".

    Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers' experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices.

    Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy(隐私)group, is one of them. She thinks   ▲   . For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person's age and feelings.

    However, one store testing the technology explained they wouldn't store people's information like names or ages. And the advertising board system maker said it didn't keep any personal information or record any videos.

    56. Facial detection technology can tell people's ___________, according to the passage.

    A. weight                    B. feelings                   C. height                     D. jobs

    57. Which of the following sentences can be put in the     ▲       ?

    A. nobody likes to have their feelings collected

    B. it is very important to protect people's privacy

    C. the strange actions may cause something unfair

    D. businesses may use them to have more customers

    58. We can infer from the passage that facial detection technology ______________.

    A. can detect buyers' names and record them

    B. is put inside some large advertising boards

    C. may be used to sell cheaper goods in all stores

    D. may need some time before being widely used

    59. The best title of the passage may be"___________________.

    A. Facial Recognition Technology Entering a New Field

    B. Facial Recognition Technology Looking for Bad Guys

    C. Facial Detection Technology Going into Advertising Field

    D. Facial Detection Technology Improving Buyers' Experience

    A lot of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.

    In Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same ways every year.

    A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa.

    Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1, 125 km.

    Some fish migrate to breed  (繁殖). Salmon (鲑鱼) can swim over 20, 000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river. Other fish can't eat them.

    Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it.

    23. According to the passage, monarch butterflies in North America migrate to___________.

    A. find insects               B. look for water           C. find better weather    D. produce young

    24. Adult salmon swim back to the river because A. they won't be eaten by other big fish B. they want to lay eggs in a safer place C. they are getting ready to die there

    D. they want to go where they grew up

    25. Which of the following is true about animals' migration?

    A. Elephants in Africa usually travel the same way each year.

    B. Most birds fly to southern Europe and Africa in summer.

    C. Some insects travel 1, 125 km each day.

    D. Salmon swim 20, 000 km each year.

    We always think that it’s OK for us to leave our plants home during our vacation as plants won’t scream like pets, right?

    A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has discovered that some plants will scream when they are under stress.

    The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco plants by cutting their stems(茎) and depriving(剥夺) them of water. A microphone was placed 10cm away from them. When their stems were cut, the plants started “screaming” between 20 and 100 kilohertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is probably meant to warn other plants nearby.

    When the tomato plants’ stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic(超声的) pain sounds were recorded in an hour, and at the same time, 15 ultrasonic pain sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants. When they were deprived of water, the tomato plants recorded even more pain sounds with 35 pain sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded about 11 pain sounds.

    The plants also acted differently to different kinds of stresses. For example, the tobacco plants gave out a stronger “scream” when they were deprived of water than when their stems were cut. But plants that were in no immediate(立刻的)danger gave out less than one ultrasonic sound per hour.

    The group of scientists said that plants are not as quiet as we had always thought, but in fact their voices are so high-pitched that we just can’t hear them.

    Last year, another study has found out that plants feel pain when they are touched or hurt and they will give off a terrible smell.










        38. What have the group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University discovered?

    A. Some plants under stress will scream.

    B. Plants in danger scream to warn others.

    C. Some plants under stress feel energetic.

    D. Plants in danger give off a sweet smell.

        39. What was the microphone underlined in paragraph 3 used for?

    A. Cutting the stems of plants.       B. Depriving plants of water.

    C. Collecting ultrasonic sounds.       D. Testing different stresses.

        40. How many ultrasonic pain sounds did the tobacco plants give out in an hour when deprived of water

    A. 11.       B. 15.      C. 25.       D. 35.

        41. What can we learn from the passage?

    A. Tomato plants acted the same under different stresses.

    B. Tobacco plants gave off a smell when they were safe.

    C. Plants not in immediate danger screamed most weakly.

    D. Plants that felt pain screamed loudly for people to hear.
