My name is Oreo, and I’m a ten-year-old, black-and-white Portuguese Water Dog. I’m well-mannered,
polite, and friendly. But there is one thing that does set me off: cats. Frankly, I can’t stand them. With their
messy hair, beady little eyes, and pointy teeth, they just set my curly coat on end.

I’m particularly not fond of the cat -- the gray-colored creature across the street. If she would just stay
in her house or even her yard, it wouldn’t be so bad. But, unlike me, she gets to go wherever she wants. No
collar, no leash, and no boundaries from what I can see.

Like any responsible pet, I generally stay within my owners’ enclosed back yard. And when I do go out,
it’s on a leash held by a human and attached to a collar. Ms. Gray Puss, on the other hand, wanders
collarless across the street any time she likes. She even does her business anywhere and anytime she prefers,
including on my owners’ lawn.

第一节（共 15小题；每小题 2分，满分 30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If she would just stay off my property, I’d be okay with her superior airs and standoffish attitude. But
that’s not how she rolls. Sometimes, she comes over and pollutes my owners’ front garden, knowing full
well that I’m only a few yards away on the other side of the fence and powerless to stop her.
Sometimes, when my owner takes me for a walk, I’ll spot that animal and take a run at her.
Unfortunately, I always forget that I’m on a leash. Before I know it, I’m being dragged backwards. What’s
particularly awkward is that the gray one doesn’t even move. I guess she knows I can’t get at her, and that’s
why she doesn’t even deign to get up on all fours and at least hiss at me.
MUAMA Enence is a state-of-art Japanese technology which allows you to instantly communicate
with another person no matter what language he or she speaks. This tiny but genius device instantly
records and translates over 40 languages, which makes communication easy & fast. You can use it when
travelling, for business meetings or whenever you wish to say something in a different language. With
Enence you instantly communicate in almost any language in the world!
How Does it Work?
Enence was built with simplicity in mind so anyone can use it. Although it is armed with the latest
technology, using the device is super easy. All you need to do is to choose the language in which you
want to communicate and record your words or sentences. You can even record really long sentences
and Enence will translate everything perfectly!
Mark my words: Someday, one of my owners will forget to lock the front gate, one of the fence boards
will fall off, or my male owner Dave will forget to fully secure the leash. And when that day comes,
someone’s going to suffer. I’m not sure why, but Dave keeps saying he thinks it will be me.
4. What do the underlined words “set me off” in paragraph 1 mean?
Why is MUAMA Enence so popular?
A. To see me off.
B. To make me laugh.
D. To set out.
This genius device allows you to start communicating (YES, speaking!) with almost every person

$189).

Why I Hate Cats
The goal, executives say, is to enable parents to monitor their child's connections without giving up
teens' autonomy（自主性）. Named Family Center, the new suite of tools released Tuesday requires both
高三英语（第1页，共4页）

caregiver and teen to be involved in.
D
"It allows parents to see who's in their teen's universe," said Nona Farahnik, director of platform
policy for Snap, the company that makes Snapchat. "It offers parents the ability to ask who someone
might be, how they might know a contact, which improves those real-time conversations about who
teens are talking to."
Here's a fun brain teaser: How large does a random group of people have to be for there to be a 50%
chance that at least two of the people will share a birthday? The answer is 23, which surprises many
people. How is this possible?
When thinking about this question, known as the "birthday problem" or the "birthday paradox" in
statistics, many people intuitively(直觉地) guess 183, since that is half of all possible birthdays, given
how there are generally 365 days in a year. Unfortunately, intuition often fares poorly at this kind of
statistical problem.
Farahnik says Family Center is modeled on real-life parenting. "If your teen is headed to the mall,
you might ask who they're going with. 'How do you know them? Are you guys on a sports team together?
Do you go to school together?'" said Farahnik. "But you won't be sitting there at the mall with them
listening to their conversations." Similarly, parents cannot see the content that their teen is sending or
receiving on Snapchat. They can only view whom their child has communicated with in the past seven
days. Snapchat is popular with young people, partially because messages on the platform disappear
within 24 hours.
To calculate the answer to the birthday problem, Jim Frost, a statistician who has written three
books about statistics and is a regular columnist for the American Society of Quality's Statistics Digest,
began with a few assumptions. First, he ignores leap years, since that simplifies the math and does not
change the results by much. He also assumed that all birthdays have an equal chance of happening.If
you start with a group of two people, the chance the first person does not share a birthday with the
second is 364/365. As such, the likelihood they share a birthday is 1 minus (364/365)1, or a probability
of about 0.27%. If you assume a group of three people, the first two people cover two dates. This means
the chance the third person does not share a birthday with the other two is 363/365. As such, the
likelihood they all share a birthday is 1 minus the product of (364/365) times (363/365), or a probability
of about 0.82%.The more people in a group, the greater the chances that at least a pair of people will
share a birthday. With 23 people, there is a 50.73% chance, Frost noted. With 57 people, there is a
probability of 99%."
The company says it consulted with safety experts and academics and conducted focus groups with
parents to develop Family Center and it plans to roll out more features in the coming months. The tool is
only for parents of kids under 18.
With Family Center, Snap follows other social media platforms, including Instagram, which
recently have advanced parental controls. By at least one survey, Snapchat is the second-most popular
social network among teens. The first, TikTok, offers "Family Sharing," which gives parents a few ways
to limit the videos shown to their kids.
"I think these platforms want to show that they can take steps to protect kids, that they can
self-regulate and that they're capable of doing it themselves without getting the government involved,"
said Irene Ly, policy counsel for Common Sense Media, which reviews apps, games and media for
families.
The birthday problem is related to another exponential(指数的) growth problem, Frost noted. "In
exchange for some service, suppose you're offered to be paid 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the
second day, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents, 16 cents, and so on, for 30 days," Frost said. "Is that a good
deal? Most people think it's a bad deal, but thanks to exponential growth, you'll have a total of $10.7
million on the 30th day."
8. Who are probably the potential users of Family Center?
A. Children who love computer games.
C. Parents whose children are under 18.
9. What can we learn about Family Center?
B. Parents who worry about their children.
D. Family members who live in harmony.
12. What is the purpose of asking questions at the beginning of the passage?
A. To present a fact.
B. To answer the questions.
D. To surprise readers.
A. It enables parents to know what their children talk about.
B. Parents can read messages sent or received by their children.
C. Children can cancel messages on their phones within 24 hours.
D. Parents can know who their children contact without children’s permission.
10. Why do young people favor Snapchat?
C. To stimulate reader’s curiosity.
13. What does the underlined phrase “fare poorly” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Charge little.
B. Behave well.
D. Earn little.
C. Make mistakes.
14. What is the exact probability that no one of the 23 students has the same birthday?
A. 50%. B. 50.73%. C. 49.27%. D. 99%.
A. Because they can know whom they have communicated with.
B. Because contact information on it can’t be read a day later.
C. Because it offers a few ways to limit the videos shown to them.
D. Because parents can monitor their connections without giving up autonomy.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
15. How can you earn $10.7 million in a month according to Frost?
A. By multiplying the salary of the previous day by the salary of the next day.
B. By daydreaming of becoming a millionaire.
C. By making your salary of the next day twice that of the previous day.
D. By working hard day and night to raise the probability.

Traditional Chinese Medicine into the campus
To promote the students’ understanding of our traditional Chinese medicine and arouse our interest and enthusiasm, our school recently launched a campaign, whose theme was “Traditional Chinese Medicine into the Campus”.
Various activities were organized, such as a lecture delivered by a distinguished TCM expert and experiencing TCM diagnosis and treatment methods, which attracted a wide range of participation of us students. Besides, a speech competition was held, where students shared their own ideas and stories about the traditional Chinese medicine.
The campaign turned out to be a great success, from which we students benefited a lot. Not only do we know much about the traditional Chinese medicine, but we feel it our responsibility to preserve the traditional Chinese medicine and spread it all over the world.
