Jean was a single mother with a young son. She taught the first grade and worked very hard. She drove a small old car. One August, the teachers returned from a summer break to see Jean drive up to school with three children. The two girls were Jean's former students who had lost their parents. They did not want to enter a foster care center. They turned to Jean- their first-grade teacher-for help. Though she and her son lived in a small house, Jean took the girls in.

During lunch, while other teachers shared life stories, Jean never complained about her new responsibilities. She did, however, speak about her car. With three children to trans­ports the car was too small and slow. It even burned engine oil. Jean needed something new. However, she couldn't buy one with three children in her home.

As a good friend, I listened to her concerns. At that time, I did not have much money. But I wanted to help Jean buy a car. An idea hit me when I watched a TV show.

One day, Jean received an invitation to a TV show. She was surprised but decided to at­tend it. Midway through the show the host called Jean to the stage. He explained he had re­ceived a letter, knowing her need for a new car. The audience listened to the details of Jean's story and were all moved. Then the host said that Jean would receive a new car for her family. Cheers filled the studio and Jean shook with disbelief.

Six hundred miles away, I watched the joy of it all from the television in my living room. Jean's big heart taught me many lessons that year. I did nothing but share her story.

24. What can we infer about Jean according to the first paragraph?

A. She knew the girls' parents.

B. She was very kind-hearted.

C. She wanted to sell her small car.

D. She didn't have summer break as other teachers.

25. What troubled Jean?

A. She couldn't afford to buy a new car.

B. She found it hard to raise three kids alone.

C. She couldn't spare more time for her students.

D. She had no time to transport her kids to school.

26. Why did Jean receive an invitation to the show?

A. The author turned to the show for help.

B. The school wanted to make her story known.

C. The school rewarded her for her hard work.

D. The show picked some single mothers to report randomly.

27. What can be the best title for the text?

A. A letter from my friend

B. Helping my friend get a car

A quick look at Instagram will show you thousands of girls sharing their clothing of the day. Many of these girls are sharing completely new clothes every day. And they're feeling the pressure to never repeat clothes. This attitude of not being able to wear something again after sharing it on Instagram is far too common. It is a sad thing when some girls feel sorry for appearing in the same clothes more than once on Instagram.

Clothes businesses push new "must-haves" every week, which adds to the pressure to keep up. Clothes have been so cheap because of the competition between clothes businesses that it's shockingly easy to buy new clothes every day. These clothes businesses have made it possible for a normal person to never be seen in the same clothes twice. Often the quality of these clothes is so low that they don't even survive the wash so there is no chance of that sec­ond wear.

Consider everything that goes into making a single piece of clothing — for example： plenty of water, energy and petrochemicals, finishing and labor of each worker throughout making it. It's shocking to think after all this, a piece of clothing might be worn once. maybe twice, and then thrown away so that they can follow fast fashion.

The fashion of throwing clothes away after use needs to change. Proudly post the same clothes you've worn before online. Get creative with mixing and matching, and borrow from friends for special times. The possibilities are endless so there's no need to shop frequently. 28. What is a sad thing according to the first paragraph?

A. Some girls like showing off on the Internet.

B. Some girls spend too much time on social media.

C. Some girls care too little about their appearances.

D. Some girls think posting the same clothes online again wrong.

29. What leads to the girls' wearing the same clothes only once?

A. Online shopping.

B. Parents' pressure.

C. Clothes businesses.

D. Laziness to wash clothes.

30. Why does the author mention how a single piece of clothing is made?

A. To tell us we should treasure clothes.

B. To show fast fashion's great influence.

C. To show the development of the clothes industry.

D. To tell us we should have our own dressing styles.

31. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?

A. Offer reasons.

B. Give suggestions.

C. Give encouragement.

D. Offer more information.

D

If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers atop of the list, h's easy to imagine robots and factory workers. But are we underestimating  what robots can do?

In some cases, they already do better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some pa­tients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldom thinks so. He even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom： 2027. He forecasts that robots will do the main job of disseminating knowledge and teachers will be like helpers. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and even brain signals. Then they will pass the information on to each student in the way he or she can understand.

However, it's not a popular opinion. Most people think it's impossible that robots will have the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9%— 16% of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere.

Being a teacher is a difficult job and teachers often feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers?" but "How can't robots help teachers?" Teachers spend a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 1 hour a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

32. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A. Robots can do creative work.

B. Robots work better than humans.

C. Robots will replace doctors soon.

D. Robots can do more jobs than imagined.

33. What does the underlined word “disseminating” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Storing.

B. Spreading

C. Analyzing.

D. Replacing.

34. Which word best describes the public s attitude to Anthony Setdom's forecast?

A. Reasonable.

B. Uncreative.

C. Unrealistic.

D. Unacceptable.

35. What's the main idea of the text?

A. Whether robots will completely replace human teachers.

B. Whether robots will evolve by themselves.

C. What robots are never able to do.

D. What the weakness of robots are.

In the world of trade, the Internet is king as it never sleeps and continues to take deal after people have rested for the night. 36   , the Internet world has taken large steps to make consumers and investors feel safer with the funds which are being processed.

37    , do you hope your information will be stolen? I bet it is "No". Perhaps you trust those network businessmen, for you've bought from them before or know someone who has.

When it comes to online deal safety is still important. Just a few weeks ago over $ 150 million were frozen by what seems to have been a mistake. 38    . Believe it or not, this was the second dangerous bug for this agreement. Back in May, when the first fault was discov­ered, some “white hat“ hackers saved most of the signs and returned them to their owners.

Zen Protocol • one of a block chain is built for finance. 39       It works with a language designed to prove what agreements do—a method called "formal verification". It also has un­covered some of the basic faults in the system and has solved these issues making it easy and safe for you.

Zen Protocol isn't the first block chain to offer different choices. 40    . Technology talk aside, the great thing is that it can inform about the scenery and develop with the nowadays  atmosphere of the online deal scenery.

A. One thing is certain

B. With the development of online deal

C. A smart agreement is a set of promises

D. When you press the “BUY" button on your favorite clothing line

E. However, it's one of the most safe choices for financial investors

F. It takes steps to solve the safety issue by ensuring the code works for you

G. The reason is that an agreement, used to store funds, contained a simple bug

It was not until they were about 100 yards out that they could 44    what it was. It turned out that there was a 45     animal.

The animal making the noise seemed to be a “dog”！ Upon rescuing the "dog”, the men quickly wrapped the animal in a thick blanket to provide some much-needed 46    .

The men phoned their local animal hospital, and then they were 47    that they should take it there as quickly as possible, so that's what they did. The whole time there, the animal didn't 48 at all. In fact, it slept all the way silently there.

Unfortunately, the vets felt confused and didn't 49    know what they had on their hands. So they phoned a local hunter. Thankfully, the hunter hurried down to the 50    and recognized exactly it as a wolf they ended up saving!

Sure enough, the wolf began to return to its 51   ways the moment it started to recover. It was a one-year-old wolf. The 52    arrived for the wolf to go back home. When they 53   the cage that fine morning, it walked forward slowly and looked back several times.

第二节(共10小题;每小题L 5分，满分15分)

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Invisible People

If you have the time, check out an amazing YouTube channel that I recently found 56     (call) "invisible people”. It's a channel with 57     (hundred) of interviews of homeless people 58     share their story and how they survive day to day.

The man who operates the channel 59     (be) formerly homeless and has devoted his life to helping 60      homeless. The name “invisible people" certainly suits the channel well. For indeed there are so many “invisible" beings who are suffering every day, both humans and animals, and yet our 61    (social) either pays little for people to 62    (cruel) treat and kill animals, or completely 63     (ignore) those who are in desperate need.

Occasionally, someone who watches the videos posted on that channel is near one of the people interviewed and is able 64      (help) in some way. Some of the videos are truly heart­breaking but it's important to see what people are going 65     . We can't turn a blind eye or treat them as if they're invisible. We cannot behave as it's been said, “Worship a homeless man on Sunday, and then ignore a homeless man on Monday.”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Jesse Dufton was born with a genetic condition, retinitis pigmentosa (色索性视网膜炎), and over the years, his eyesight gradually worsened. By the time he got to university in Bath to study Chemistry it had got to the point where he couldn't really see images at all, only the difference between light and dark. And a few years later, he was almost 100% blind.

Jesse's mum was a teacher and his dad ran a charity, and they've always encouraged and supported him in everything.

Jesse started climbing when he was young. His dad took him up his first rock route when he was two. All his early climbing was outdoor traditional climbing. His dad had been in the

Mountain Rescue and was part of a mountaineering club, so they would go for weekends away climbing throughout the UK.

Jesse's father taught him everything and guided his first route outside when he was 11. At this time he had about 30% blurry （模糊不清的）central vision. He could just see well enough to place rock equipment , but not well enough to pick out the routes from the ground.

Al university he joined the Mountaineering Club and was able to climb much more fre­quently. They had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors. He developed a great circle of climbing friends and went on multiple trips to Europe. On these he started Al­pine climbing and ice climbing too.

But when his sight dropped to a level where he could no longer read, it started to be diffi­cult to place equipment as he couldn't see whether it was properly seated. He also stopped be­ing able to pick out the holds at indoor walls.

Jesse thought he might have to give up climbing as his eyesight got worse. But his par­ents never give up hopes for him They planned a climbing for the family and encouraged Jesse to have a try again. Jesse smiled because he knew his parents would always be his best guide.
