Li Ming is a friend of mine．I'm glad he changed greatly in the past two years．I clearly remember he was quite fat two years before．He got tired so

 easy that he couldn't take exercise, that made him very upset．Later，he realized 

unless he went on like that，he would end up achieve nothing．So，he made 

up his minds to make a change．He went running every morning and played 

the basketball every afternoon．Besides ,he followed a diet of more vegetables or less meat．Gradually he began to lose weight．He is now an energetic boy 

in good health．So when faced with problems，we should overcome it with great 

determination and strong willpower．

What should doctors say,for example,to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who,though he feels in perfect health,is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months?Is it best to tell him the truth?If he asks,should doctors reject that he is ill,or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?

Doctors face such choices often.At times,they see important reasons to lie for the patients' own sake.Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients---to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death?

Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition,and that informing them of risks destroys their hope,so that they may recover more slowly,or deteriorate（恶化）faster,perhaps even commit suicide.

But other studies show that,contrary to the belief of many physicians,a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth,even about serious illness,and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled.We are also learning that truthful information,humanely conveyed,helps patients cope with illness: help them tolerate pain better, need less medicine,and even recover faster after surgery.

Not only in medicine,but in other professions such as law and government as well,practitioners（从业者）may find themselves repeatedly in the dilemma of choosing between telling the true information and covering it up. Therefore,there is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.Otherwise,people in our society will be blindly comfortable in the old saying,"What you don't know can't hurt you."

If one day you see words on potatoes and apples, don’t panic.   51  (begin) last December, Swedish supermarket ICA started experimenting   52   a new way to label(给……贴标签) its fruits and vegetables. It uses lasers（激光）to “print” information ----- such as   53   it is grown or its code number ----- on vegetables and fruits.

The supermarket calls the new tech “natural branding”. The lasers “ print” by removing the colour from the skins of fruits and vegetables. It no longer uses paper   54   plastic along with ink and adhesives(粘合剂), which makes the food   55  (safe) to eat.

It is also great for the environment because less food packaging leads to less waste and less   56  （pollute）.

Eosta, an international food company, said that in 2015   57   it sold over 725,000 bags of avocados(牛油果) to ICA，and    58    (pack) them needed about 220 kilometers of plastic. “We have too much    59   (necessary) plastic material or packaging material on our products,” Peter Hagg, ICA’s senior manager, told the Daily Mail.

But unfortunately, laser labeling can’t    60   (use) on all fruits. Citrus fruit (柑橘类水果)，for example，has the ability to heal itself，meaning that the laser’s “writing” would disappear after just a few hours.

Books are typically written first, then narrated (朗读) for audio books. Until now, Audible, the largest company of audio books, has begun asking well-known writers to create works specifically for audio, instead of inviting people to narrate already existing print books. It’s a new chapter for the book industry.
    Audible now has about 30 totally new audio works in production. And it turns out that audio books, which have long been regarded as less important than e-books, have actually been doing quite well. They are a $1,000,000,000 industry, with more than 35,000 titles published in 2013 alone.
    What promotes that progress is not only an evolution of technology, but more importantly, the rise of the celebrity (名人) narrator. Narrators are key to the success of an audio book and these days, producers are signing on more and more celebrities. Celebrities’ narration is like a private performance to customers, who get a feeling of closeness in listening to their voices. Many of the customers buy audio books based on the narrator. They will listen to anything a specific actor or actress reads.
    That is why Audible is taking the risk of not producing print books at all but starting totally new audio works. There’s another reason why the company is expecting its risk-taking action to pay off: humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time. We are taking part in a little habit that goes back thousands and thousands of years—before the first mark was ever made on a stone. Long before writing, people were telling each other stories and the audio book goes all the way back to that tradition. As Peter Allen sang softly in the 1970s, everything old is new again.
1. The “new chapter” (Para. 1) refers to a time of ______.
  A. starting audio companies                       B. producing new audio works 

C. narrating print books for audio               D. creating electronic books
2. What does Paragraph 2 tell about audio books？
  A. Their bright future                              B. Their difference from e-books

C. Their great importance                                        D. Their previous production
3. Customers like celebrities’ narration because ______.
  A. celebrities help them understand the stories              B. celebrities have more attractive voices
  C. celebrities seem to be within their reach        D. celebrities have better narrating skills

4. Audible believes its risk-taking action will be rewarding because ______.
A. the action has lasted for a long time        B. customers play an active role in the action
C. the company has spent a lot on the action    D. the action agrees with the story-telling tradition

I was reading an article in a book while I came across a word I didn’t know. “Dad, what is the meaning of the word?”My dad, as he usual did after work, was watching his most favorite show. “You have the dictionary, don’t you?” he shot back. He didn’t even look up my face. I went back my room, and there on my study table is that dictionary. I looked it up and found it’s exact meaning. Ten year have passed and I still use that dictionary, along with the lesson I received earlier in life from my old man: to be independent.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊所)with  kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class. Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on 

it,all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, "Mrs. Smith, you see,     the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it."

She glanced down at me through her glasses, you are no different from your classmates, young man."

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was

about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get 

much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead,he invented a reading system of 

raised dots, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the"blind”in my class,being made to learn like the"sighted”students? My 

thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could 

find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up？

I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an"A”on it. At the bottom of the 

paper were these words："See what you can do when you keep trying？”

C. He had an attention disorder.

D. He wanted to take the task home.

B. He made a great invention.

C. He gave up reading.                                

D. He learned a lot from school.

23. What was Mrs. Smith‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story？________

A. Angry                

B. Impatient           

C. Sympathetic              

D. Encouraging

24. What is the main idea of the passage？________

A. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.  

    A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off — if it is milked from a cow at night.

    Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

    The study, by researchers from Seoul(汉城), South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder(奶粉) made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

    Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

    Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

    While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

    Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

    Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

67. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.

   A. started sleep more easily                       B. were more anxious

   C. were less active                                      D. woke up later

68. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.      B. It can make people more energetic.

C. It exists in milk in great amount.          D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.

69. What can be a suitable title for the text?

   A. Night Milk and Sleep                               B. Fat, Sugar and Health

   C. An Experiment on Mice                          D. Milk Drinking and Health

70. How does the author support the theme of the text?

   A. By giving examples.                                B. By stating arguments.

   C. By explaining statistical data.                D. By providing research results.

.Now that she got married, kate         quitting her job, but she  hasn’t  decided  that.

  A. had considered                               B. has been considering

  C. considered                                      D. is going to consider

I like traveling. When a holiday approach, I will careful make a plan for it. My friends like traveling either, so we always go out together. Traveling means a lot to you. First of all, every city has its own feature and lifestyle, that offers us a chance to experience diversity. By exploring these place, we can learn a lot beyond the textbook. Besides, after live in the same place and doing the same things all the way, traveling can make us refreshing. Returning back from a journey, we can be full energy again.

Everyone seems to be living for someone else.

I had once helped a friend run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting: almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, and tap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear. Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and asked a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question, he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking (自嘲) tone, “Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. But all I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave!”

Not long after that, my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, “Why are you seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don’t remember ever hearing you mention that you’ve got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money, “Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later.”

I could think of no word to refute (反驳) her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others’ suit in doing things. The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But why do people usually feel uneasy when using “I”?.

I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to following others’ example. We feel at ease and justified simply because this is a way of US, a way which has been practiced by so many people. But is this massive practice really right?

25. Why did the elderly gentleman tap the watermelon before buying it?

A. Because he expected to hear something.

B. Because he was a fool.

C. Because he just wanted to follow the crowd.

D. Because it was his habit and it was hard for him to give it up.

26. Which word can replace the underlined word “justified” in the last paragraph?

A. reasonable                           B. embarrassed                 C. excited                           D. disappointed

27. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. It may be safe to do what most people do.

B. People should live for others and forget their own heart.

C. The writer felt unexpected when her friend wanted to get married.

D. The use of We or I will give speakers themselves quite different senses.

28. In which section of a magazine can you read the passage?

A. Nature and Art                                                         B. Sport and Health

C. Science and Technology                                                D. Culture and Society

You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot.

    Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.ziyuanku.com

    “Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice,” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.

Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering students’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.

    These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms. The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.

59. What does the underlined part in Paragraph Two mean?

   A. She became a best seller.            B. She became very powerful.

   C. She became a money maker.         D. She became very popular.

60. Which of the following can Xiaoice do?

A. Do housework.                       B. Spread messages.

   C. Identify various photos.                 D. Read news to its users.                           

61. Which company’s chatbot program can act as an academic consultant?

   A. Microsoft.        B. IBM.          C. Apple.                D. Amazon.

62. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

   A. Chatbots mainly run on smartphones now.      

   B. It’ll take decades to apply chatbots to cars.

   C. Samantha is played by a US actor in the film.ziyu                         

   D. The film Her doesn’t interest many audience.

Safety at school

Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.

The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.

Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, it’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.

When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.

Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.

28. By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions _______.

A. are cruel animals   

B. are clever animals

C. like to take advantage of other animals

D. like to take every chance to eat

29. According to the text, which of the following is true?

A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.

B. Males care more about eating than active killing.

C. Lions are curious about things happening around them.

D. It doesn’t take lions too much time to make a kill.

30. How can we know that lions are social animals?

A. They depend on each other.     

B. They look after each other well.

C. They readily share what they have.                       

D. They enjoy each other’s company.

31. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Powerful Lions                          

B. Lions at Work and Play

C. Lions, Social Cats                      

D. Lions, Skilled Hunters

    Last Thursday, we had a class meeting to discuss when to go for our spring outing. We came up with several choice such as going boating, climbing a mountain and going to a amusement park. Final, we decided to go to mountain climbing. The next day, we set off early in the morning. While climbing the mountain, we enjoy the warm sunshine and a beautiful view. Therefore, when we reached the top, we were surprising to see litter here and there ,such as bottles and banana peels. Then we started to pick up the litter. Afterwards, we put the rubbish the nearby recycling bin and non-recycling bin respectively.

     We were tired and happy.
