In today's world of smart phones and notebook computers, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.

    However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(附属的) business. And today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.

“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions .

    Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet(手镯) than a watch.

Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, or creative talent of a love sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(配件) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’ s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!

49. What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.         

B. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.

C. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.          

D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today. 

50.  Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to_______.

A. tell that today’s watches need more imagination       

B. show why Shinshoku watches are popular      

C. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash     

D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets

51. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Japanese Watches Stand Out  

B. Watches Tell More Than Time

C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation 

D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular   

Put your car keys away and forget about your travel pass --- it's time to do a bit of walking.

National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets, an organization that campaigns for the rights and the needs of pedestrians--- indeed, the organization was previously known as the Pedestrians' Association. The association's aim is to make streets safe, attractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play. By putting people (rather than vehicles) first, Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues（优点）of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles（车辆）; the joy of local discoveries seeing more of your local area on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking---walking can clear your head.

    Walk to School Week, 19 to 24 May, is part of the month's activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.

    Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 12 to 16 May, where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning, getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a good way to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day, rather than having lunch at the desks or in the canteen, take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work!

Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.

It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.

Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”

In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.

Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.

32. Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?

A. A 10-year-old boy from a poor family B. A 17-year-old boy from a rich family

A. bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the media

B. students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-free

C. the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school

D. bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder

    Among my peers, the most common reasons to sit in front are: poor vision, poor hearing, and harder to fall asleep (my main reason).

    That’s about it. I’ve sat in the back and I’ve sat in the front, and I’ve seen no difference in how professors treat me. In fact, I sat in the front of my math class and still fell asleep a lot. I went to office hours for that class regularly and asked the professor if it bothered him and he said he understood completely. I put in the work outside the classroom and performed well on exams, and that’s what ends up on the transcript (成绩单).

    From my experience, going to office hours regularly, emailing questions that may be beyond the scope of class just out of your own curiosity, and reading ahead of time so you can ask good relevant questions are the best ways to give a professor a good impression. Where I’ve sat in the classroom hasn’t noticeably affected a professor’s opinion of me in the slightest.

    Typically, sitting at the front indicates to me that you want to hear everything I say and want to have more one-on-one questioning with me. Sitting in the middle suggests that you want to fit in, and will be better at group work. Sitting in the back usually means that you want to play with your phone. The people in the front seats will often get the highest grades, dropping as the rows go back. Yes, of course, this is a tendency and not a law, and there are exceptions. But I must point out that for some older professors, they actually can’t see the people in the back well.

    I have not noticed where to sit has any effect on attentiveness, participation and respectful behavior. I have noticed though, that students who sit in the back row are almost always disrespectful and inattentive. I have not observed any correlation between achievement and seat location, even though when I was a student myself, I usually preferred to sit in the front.

12. According to the author, the best ways to impress professors do NOT include _____.

  A. preparing for the class in advance                       B. asking questions through emailing

  C. going to office hours regularly                                   D. sitting in the front in every class

13. What does the word underlined “correlation” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

  A. Connection.               B. Balance.                 C. Difference.                    D. Separation.

14. What is the author’s opinion of students sitting in the front?

  A. They may be better at group work.               B. They may want to stay awake in class.

  C. They want to play with their phones.                    D. Their grades are always the highest.

15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

  A. To persuade students to sit in the front.              B. To analyze the advantages of sitting in the back.

  C. To show the effect of seating on study results.  D. To discuss different seat locations in the class.

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.

   But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.

   For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.

5．What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Choice.       B. Try          C. Style.            D. Goal

6．What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

A There is a strange mix of people.       B. The restaurants are expensive.

C. The bill is not fairly shared.           D. People have to pay cash

7．What does the author think of the parties in London?

A. A bit unusual          B. Full of tricks.           C. Less costly.           D. More interesting.

8.What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience？

A. Easy-going.     B. Self-centred.    C. Generous.    D. Conservative.

I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all， and what’s more， I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed， rode on it for several stops， then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough， then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time， I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived， and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully， nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.

About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.

Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time — at least twenty or thirty years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with human beings.

There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.

Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

25. By telling the story of Jack, the author wanted to show that __________.

A. people are cruel to animals

B. dolphins are friendly and clever

C. Jack is different from other dolphins

D. dolphins should be protected by law

A. live in groups                     B. have their own language

C. are warm-blooded                  D. have large brains

27. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?

A. Its mouth.        B. Its ears.        C. Its nose.         D. Its eyes.

28. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

A. They wanted his help.               B. They enjoyed playing with him.

C. He was seriously wounded.           D. He was lonely and liked to be with people

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

31. The passage begins with two questions to ______.

A. introduce the main topic                       B. show the author’s altitude

C. describe how to use the Internet              D. explain how to store information

32. In transactive memory, people ______.

A. keep the information in mind                     B. change the quantity of information

C. organize information like a computer  D. remember how to find the information

33. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?

A. We are using memory differently.             

B. We are becoming more intelligent.

C. We have poorer memories than before.

D. We need a better way to access information.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just be­cause the salesman talked you into it? Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a superior around--- parent, a teacher, a boss---who knows better."

But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive(好争斗的) without hurting other people.

In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive--- he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about your­self. And once you do you can learn to speak out.

29. The problem the writer talks about is that __________.

A. some people buy things they don't want

B. there are too many superiors

C. some people are afraid to speak out for their rights

D. some people don't think enough of themselves

30.  The A.T. Course often _______.

A. help people become more important

B. make people distrust their own answers

C. make things more favorable for "superiors"

D. help people know as much as their "superiors"

31.  One thing the A.T. Course don't do is to __________.

A. share the need of people

B. help people to help themselves even if others suffer

C. show they have a right to be themselves

D. help people overcome fear

32.The underlined word “timid” in this passage probably means ________?

A. brave     B. active        C. shy      D. angry 

A company’s logo (徽标) is a recognition tool for the public to link their services or products to the company. Let’s have a look at the most well-known companies in the world and see how their logos have changed over the years.

Microsoft

    Think “Microsoft” and you might think up an image of the billionaire Bill Gates or a Windows PC, or perhaps a bold, italic typeface (粗斜体) bearing the company’s name. But in the early 1970s, the founders of the company had quite a different brand image. Back then, it was all curves (曲线) and capital letters－even separating ‘micro’ and ‘soft’ into two levels.

Canon

   The camera giant was founded in Japan in 1934 as Kwanon－named after a Buddhist goddess. The following year it rebranded as Canon to coincide with the launch of its first ever 35mm camera. Exactly half a century later, the company launched its first digital camera. In 2016, Canon enjoyed a 20% share of the digital camera market, more than any other brand.

McDonald’s

   McDonald’s once had no iconic yellow ‘M’. In 1940, brothers Dick and Mac McDonald opened their McDonald’s barbecue restaurant in San Bernardino, California. The logo was made up of the words: McDonald’s FAMOUS BARBECUE. Ray Croc joined the business in 1955, bought the chain from them and oversaw its worldwide expansion.

Apple

   The first Apple logo was created in 1976, where it featured the famous scene of how Issac Newton discovered gravity－sitting beneath an apple tree. In the same year, the logo was changed into the shape of an apple with rainbow stripes, and it took a bite out of the apple, which made it different from others. It was then further simplified into an apple image consisting of only black. Since the year 2000, the apple logo has been recognized as a monochrome (单色的) apple.

25. Back in the early 1970s, Microsoft had its logo ________.

  A. divided into two levels                                   B. in a bold, italic typeface

  C. with two capital letters                                   D. with some curves

26. What can we learn about Apple from the text?

  A. Its logo has been changed twice at the most.

  B. Its logo was linked with Newton’ s gravity brainstorm.

  C. The color of its logo used to be only light red.

  D. The logo was first invented by Newton.

27. What is the text mainly about?

  A. The logo changes of some famous brands.

  B. The best suggestions for designing good logos.

  C. The development of some famous companies.

  D. The key to success of some famous companies.

TuYouyou’s years’ of hard work ______ when she finally won the Nobel Prize.

    24    their own personality. Parents    25    think they know better. They find it    26    to accept that their son or daughter wants to think differently from how they used to think when they were    27    themselves. As a result, young people are often unhappy and believe their parents do not    28    them.

Many of my friends would love to be    29    of their parents as soon as possible. They would love to have their own place where they can live the life they imagine must be    30    .They think that not having a    31    who tells them to tidy up their rooms or get up at a certain time must be paradise(天堂)。

Secondly, being completely    34    also means a lot of responsibility.    35    , I admit I like to be reminded of urgent (紧急的) things I have forgotten to do (    36    I would never admit that to my parents). And thirdly, if members of a family accept that everybody is an individual and needs a certain amount of    37    , life in a family can be great fun.

    38    , I would not like to be on my own too soon. I would say that I

am    39    living with my family for now and I can    40    .
