26、   On my granddaughter Mary’  s 21st birthday，I sat with her and her expired (过期的)driver’  s license on a hard wooden bench at the DMV (the Department of Motor Vehicles)，waiting for our number to be called. The broadcast system announced numbers to call ticket holders to reach the desk to take an eye test or renew a registration. I felt as though we were staying at a bingo game，waiting for the winning number to be called so we could jump up and collect the prize.

And on that bench，I had a thought:The seemingly ordinary events I’  ve shared with my granddaughter were both my adventures and my rewards for just showing up. I grew up in an immigrant (移民)family in the suburb of Boston. A vacation for us was a bus trip to Central Square，with shopping bags filled with delicious foods like hard boiled eggs，followed by the muddy sand sucking our toes.

I looked forward to these small outings. It sounded boring to seek out the simple pleasures，but it was not. I traveled to remote islands，to Europe，and to many of America’  s cities. Those trips were refreshing，but they were breaks. I prefer the mainstream of the ordinary.

I like the day trips. But the most wonderful time was when Mary and I stayed in the reading room. We talked about her homework，and played the roles of two thinkers discussing the Enlightenment (启蒙运动). We had our private book club，reading A Prayer for Owen Meany and copying the voice of the main character.

All of these ordinary moments are more valuable than the time it will take to travel around the world. Many people love adventures，like skydiving or climbing Mount Everest. But that is not who I am. I don’t need those adventure experiences. In the end，it turns out that just showing up is enough for me.

【1】What was the author doing at the DMV according to Paragraph 1？

A. Being with Mary to renew a license. B. Preparing to take a driving exam.

C. Playing a bingo game with Mary. D. Celebrating Mary’  s 21st birthday.

【2】Why does the author mention her childhood？

A. To express her enthusiasm for traveling. B. To show her simple pleasures as a kid.

C. To show her identity as an immigrant. D. To make a comparison with her life afterwards.

【3】What can be implied about the author from the text？

A. She was fond of reading by herself. B. She served as the best teacher for Mary.

C. She had a good relationship with Mary. D. She was a sociable and caring grandmother.

【4】What is the best title for the text？

A. The unforgettable experience at DMV B. My pleasant childhood memories

C. My life with my granddaughter D. Happiness from ordinary events

27、   Do you sometimes put off doing your homework on a school night to watch TV？A new study says that middle school students who watch TV or play video games during the weekdays do worse in school.

The study also says that watching TV and playing video games on weekends don’t affect school performance that much.

“On weekdays, the more they watched, the worse they did,” said Dr. Iman Sharif of Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York. “They could watch a lot on weekends and it didn’t seem to connect with doing worse in school.”

The study appears in October issue of Pediatrics. Researchers drew their conclusions after surveying 4,500 students in New Hampshire and Vermont middle schools.

To reach their findings, researchers didn’t look at grades or test scores. Instead, they asked students to rate their own performance on a scale ranging from “excellent” to “below average”.

Other studies have found a connection between kids’ ability to learn and the amount of TV they watch. One study even found that kids with televisions in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than kids without. What should a kid do?The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids watch TV no more than two hours and that televisions be kept out of children’s rooms. Weekends viewing should be kept to four hours at most each day.

【1】The passage mainly talks about the relationships between .

A.TV watching and students’ character training

B.TV watching and students’ school performance

C.students’ communicating skills and TV watching

D.kids’ mental development and TV watching

【2】What can be concluded from the passage?

A.Kids can watch TV as long as they wish on the weekends.

B.Kids can watch TV longer on the weekends than on weekdays.

C.Kids should not be allowed to watch TV on the weekends.

D.Kids can watch TV during the weekdays in their rooms for a long time.

【3】The purpose of keeping televisions out of children’s room is to .

A.protect the TV sets from being broken by kids B.prevent the kids from playing video games on TV

C.limit the time of TV the kids watch D.provide the kids with the quietness they need to study

【4】Who is likely to have excellent school performance according to the passage?

A.A student putting off doing homework on a school night to watch TV.

B.A student who watches TV 4 hours a day.

C.A kid who has TV set in his own room.

D.None of the above.

28、   If you are earning money and doing some of your own shopping, you may want to enroll in (注册) some well-known rewards programs at your favourite stores. Here are some of the most popular rewards programs.

The Student Price Card (SPC)

This is a card that all teens, aged 13 and up, should have in their wallet. It costs $10, but you will easily earn this back in savings from a wide variety of retailers (零售商) including 10% off at American Eagle, Urban Outfitters, Little Burgundy, Marble Slab and many more.

SCENE

This is perhaps one of the most popular rewards programs for teens, aged 14 and older. It’s a pity that the SCENE program was dropped by Sport Check last fall. However, other participating retailers are mostly restaurants such as Harvey's and Swiss Chalet. Once you collect 1.000 points, you will receive a free movie.

Starbucks

For starters, the Starbucks Rewards program gives you a free drink on your birthday. It also offers you the convenience of paying with your phone, instead of cash, at the register (收银机). You earn 2 stars for every $1 spent and after you collect 300 stars, you’ll be upgraded to Gold Status where you can cash in 125 stars for free food and drink. You must be 15 or older to participate in the program.

Air Miles

This program recently dropped the minimum age requirement from 18 to 16, which is a win for teens, although some would like it even younger. Air Miles is now a very popular rewards program, and has many participating retailers. You can choose to save up for a free flight or use the cash option at stores such as Starbucks, Cineplex and Kernels Popcom.

【1】Which of the following cards may a 13-year-old apply for?

A.The SPC. B.SCENE. C.Air Miles. D.Starbucks.

【2】What benefit will teens get from SCENE?

A.A free international flight. B.10% off at Urban Outitters.

C.1000 points for a free movie. D.A free drink on their birthday.

【3】If you want to become a Gold Status customer, how much should you spend in Starbucks?

A.$100. B.$105. C.$125. D.$150.

29、   It's now time to get dressed for the Central Missouri Renaissance Festival 10 a. m. to 6 p.m., October 19-20, in Kingdom City.

The festival is in its 15th year and its footprint at its location at 4274 County Road 220 has grown in the past six years, said Kevin Briscoe, festival casting director and board of directors member.

"When I first started at the fair years ago it was just tiny,” Briscoe said. “The acts were more localized and now we see some nationally recognized acts, and we have probably three times the size of the original grounds. We're starting to see permanent shopping structures. It has been unbelievable.”

The fair has around 60 shops and craftspeople(匠人) making products from medieval(中世纪的) renaissance and other time periods, said Briscoe. It gives people a chance to experience life from these periods. There are also musical acts, comedy acts, magicians, food trucks and stands. The festival also takes food donations,which are then given out to area food kitchens. A board of seven directors work year-in-year-out to prepare for the three festival weekends, one in April, May and October. The final weekend in October is the big weekend.

"We volunteer, we go out and cut grass, we build, and we do all of the work out there because we are a nonprofit fair, so everything we do is done through volunteers and it works," Briscoe said. People can expect a lot of fun, laughter, music entertainment, shopping, good food and drinks. "We try to offer something for everybody. We have a fairyland for all the kids. We want you to be entertained." he said.

Briscoe lives and breathes renaissance festivals. If there is such a fair happening somewhere and it's his weekend off from work, he's likely going there. "I go to St. Louis Renaissance Festival on my weekends off, when I'm not in Kansas City Renaissance Festival working at its fair and just go hang out, " he said. "That's how much I love what I'm doing.”

【1】What did Briscoe say about the fair in Paragraph 3?

A.It faces challenges. B.It needs more support.

C.It should be made local. D.It has developed quickly.

【2】What is special about the fair?

A.It provides visitors with free food. B.It is based on volunteers' efforts.

C.It lasts for the whole of October. D.It is held mainly for children.

【3】What can we learn about Briscoe from the last paragraph?

A.He is very confident about the fair.

B.He has little time to work at the fair.

C.He is enthusiastic about renaissance festivals.

D.He works for two renaissance fairs in St. Louis

【4】Who most probably wrote the text?

A.A fair manager. B.A news reporter.

C.A casting director. D.A skilled craftsman.

34、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

35、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.

And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

36、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

38、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

The World Health Organization, or WHO, estimates that more than 300,000 women die every year during pregnancy or childbirth. Each year, about 2.6 million babies are born dead and another 2.7 million babies die during the first 28 days of life, it said. Most of the deaths are taking place in South Asia and in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert.

Many of the deaths could have been avoided with quality health care, WHO officials said. Some stillbirths (births of dead babies), infant (new-born baby) deaths or deaths of mothers result from complications (并发症) during childbirth. Others may result from health problems with the mother. A poor diet or using drugs may also be to blame, the WHO added.

Another problem is that nearly all babies who are stillborn and half of all newborn deaths are never documented. Those deaths are not reported to or investigated by government health agencies. Traditions and beliefs often affect the collection of important records about infant deaths. In many countries, there is a belief that a stillbirth may not represent a lost life. Officials said this means the actual number of stillborn and newborn deaths is probably even higher than the WHO’s own current estimates. The United Nations agency says the lack of information makes it harder to find solutions. It is important for all births and deaths to be recorded so that health officials can make better decisions on how to prevent future deaths.

The WHO released three reports earlier this month to help health agencies do a better job collecting information.

Young Chinese parents embracing e-books for children

Chinese children are spending more time reading digital books as young parents are increasingly open to the idea, research shows.

The amount of time children under 9 spend reading e-books every day increased almost 20 percent to 24. 3 minutes between 2016 and 2017, according to a joint study by e-book company Kada Story and teaching consultancy TAL Education Group.

A three-year study of 6, 030 parents found that almost 70 percent said they are willing to let their children use mobile phones and tablets, while 25 percent of those born in the 1990s or later said they let their children spend more than 40 minutes a day on mobile devices.

Parents in first-tier cities are more likely to let their children use mobile devices, with children in Beijing spending almost 70 minutes a day using the gadgets.

“Digital reading is an important skill for children to master in this age of information explosion, ” said Wang Jing, chief editor of Kada Story.

However, not all parents want their children to read digitally.

“I fear e-books will negatively affect my son’s attention span or expose him to inappropriate content, ” said Xie Wenfeng, mother of a 7-year-old boy in Shanghai.

She said she believed books in print are better for the eyes and do not affect sleep. “I also worry about possible addiction to e-books.” she added.
