Quick,what's seven times seven plus ten?If you can tell Ahem "Medy" Alwan, a cashier at Lucky Candy bodega in the Bronx,you could get all the snacks your heart desires. For the past couple weeks,the 20-year-old has been quizzing customers on basic math equations. When a customer gets one right,they get five(well,more like ten) seconds to grab whatever they want in the deli.
For Ahmed"Medy"Alwan,23,joy is as essential as breakfast—and customers at his family's corner store sometimes struggle for both. So he came up with a clever way to brighten his customers' days."I've always helped out people in the neighborhood,"he says."They've known me since I was a little kid. I know half of them by name. And, you know, sometimes they need credit.”
Lucky Candy is located on a busy street in the Bronx,which is what's known as a food desert, where affordable,healthy food is scarce. Many residents rely on neighborhood shops like Lucky Candy for their daily needs.
Enter the bodega challenge on the social media. Whenever a resident gets an answer right, one of two things usually happens. Some kids dart for the candy, and who could blame them? Others grab things like rice, oranges, and potatoes, clearly thinking of the family at home.
“They're doing something good,”Berto, a student who stopped in after school, told Inside Edition.“Because here,we see a lot of people who don't even have anything.”
Alwan covers the sprees with his paycheck. But his boss,as known as his father,Saleh Aobad, doesn't mind chipping in too. A Yemeni immigrant, Aobad knows that in one of the toughest, most competitive places inthe U.S.,a bit of help goes a long way.
“This changed our relationship with the community big-time,” says Alwan.“They're showing so much love,and they're lining up at the store for a chance to play."
24.What inspired Ahmed“Medy”Alwan to come up with the bodega challenge?
A.His love for math. B.His kindness and generosity.
C.His passion for healthy food. D.His interest in food deserts.
25.Why do the residents in the Bronx neighborhood rely on shops like Lucky Candy?
A.For their daily math challenges. B.For family groceries.
C.For organizing community events. D.For providing credit services.
26.Who usually participates in the bodega challenge at Lucky Candy?
A.Adults from the neighborhood. B.Students who perform well in mathematics.
C.Customers needing food for families. D.Candy enthusiasts.
27.How has the bodega challenge impacted Ahmed Alwan's relationship with the community?
A.It has created competition among community members. B.It has strained his relationship with his father.
C.It has increased affection and support from the community. D. It has led to financial difficulties for the store,

You drink diet soda enjoying the sweet taste without the guilt of calories. But scientists have long suspected a link between artificial sweeteners（甜味剂）and obesity in humans. A new study suggests that artificial sweeteners may not be as harmless as once thought. They may not only disturb the microbes（微生物）living in the bodies of humans， but some may even increase the risk of weight gain.
Every human hosts a unique group of microbes. The number of cells that make up this vast community,called microbiome,is extremely large in the human body. It not only helps digestion but also protects against diseases. The disturbance to the microbiome occurs because artificial sweeteners,although there are zero calories for humans,serve as nutrients for some microbes, which then increase rapidly. This causes an imbalance in microbial populations that can lead to diseases.
In the study,scientists first chose 1,375 volunteers to see if they consumed artificial sweeteners in their daily lives. Then, they identified 120 volunteers who were not previously exposed to artificial sweeteners and gave them one of the four commonly used sweeteners—saccharin,sucralose,aspartame,and stevia for two weeks. After that, to test how artificial sweeteners affect the body's ability to control the sudden increase of blood sugar after consuming sugar as part of meals, volunteers were monitored for blood sugar levels after a test.
The study showed that sucralose and saccharin pushed the body towards blood sugar intolerance,which,if sustained,can cause weight gain. However, aspartame and stevia did not affect blood sugar tolerance at the tested levels.“The study is the first to show that the human microbiome responds to artificial sweeteners.It's also a convincing study to show how these sweeteners really are affecting the human body,"says Michael Goran,a professor at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
"This study provides evidence of both short-term harmful effects and long-term negative effects caused by artificial sweeteners,”David Katz, a nutrition specialist, says.“That does not mean artificial sweeteners should be replaced with sugar. Rather, alternative approaches to reducing sugar intake should be considered.”
28.What is the main finding in the new study?
A.People can drink diet soda without any limits.
B.The microbes are of great importance to human beings.
C.Artificial sweeteners bring negative impacts on humans.
D.Drinking too much soda is the main cause of obesity.
29.How do sweeteners disturb the microbiome?
A.It probably destroys the function of digestion.
B.It usually causes a rapid loss of healthy cells.
C.It sometimes feeds harmful bacteria in the body.
D.It often leads to a sharp growth of certain microbes.
30.Which aspect of the experiment is talked about in Paragraph 3?
A.Its results. B.Its process. C.Its background. D.Its subjects.
31.What can be inferred from David Katz's advice?
A.Sugar can never be replaced by artificial sweetness.
B.Factories producing sugary drinks need to take more responsibilities.
C.Artificial sweeteners should be banned.
D. Other ways to limit sugar intake need to be discovered,

Lawmakers in New Jersey recently advanced a bill that would ban businesses from going cashless—a move that would make the state different from the global trend toward electronic payments but would strengthen resistance from local officials who see no-cash policies as unfair.
Almost l of 3 Americans in 2018 say they don't use cash during a typical week of purchases, according to a Pew Research Center study released this week. The findings reveal that Americans are becoming less reliant on paper currency,which occurs similarly in Sweden,India and China.
But state and local officials say that restaurants and shops that adopt cashless policies have left some members of the community behind—individuals without the means to open a bank account or who lack access to lines of credit or the mobile apps that power digital payments.
The New Jersey measure,which would apply only to face-to-face sales and would exclude Internet and phone purchases,comes as officials push similar efforts to bar no-cash rules in New York,Philadelphia and the District.
While cashless policies offer consumers the promise of convenience and provide businesses greater protection against theft and dishonest record-keeping,they also can shut out low-income consumers or undocumented immigrants,critics say.
"Cash-free businesses are unfair by design and pose challenges to low-income communities that may not have access to credit/debit,”New York City Council member Ritchie Torres said on Twitter last month when he introduced a bill that would ban the practice.
According to the Pew study,the decline in the use of physical currency is not following a regular pattern among the population when race,age and income are accounted for.Pew found a significant gap in cashless adoption tied to annual household income, with adults making at least $75,000 more than twice as likely to make all their purchases without using cash in a typical week, compared with people who make less than $ 30,000.
The Pew findings suggest that the benefits of going cashless may come with a cost that only some groups of people will bear. Americans with lower incomes are roughly four times as likely than higher earners to make all or almost all of their purchases with cash,according to the study.
As CNBC has noted, business leaders have defended cashless policies by pointing to higher security and improved customer service and efficiency, even as they acknowledge their critics. Some advocates have focused on providing people who are underserved by the traditional banking system with more affordable options,attacking the root cause behind the criticisms of cashless payments.
32.What may be the global trend towards electronic payments?
A.Countries in the world are banning digital payments in their own ways.
B. Most countries are experiencing the increasing digitalization of payments.
C.Most countries are proposing measures to discourage cashless policies.
D.Most countries are actively promoting the circulation of physical currencies.
33.What kinds of people are considered to be possibly left behind by no-cash policies?
A.People who refuse to open a bank account.
B.People who are against electronic payments.
C.People who don't have access to financial institutions.
D.People who are unable to use mobile apps related to digital payments.
34.What does the word“bar”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Promote. B.Strengthen. C.Stop. D.Adopt.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A.Cashless Policies Do Harm to Economy
B.Digital Payment： a Terrible Choice？
C.Higher Salary,More Electronic Payments
D.Cash-Free Policy:Not a Perfect Choice for Everyone

To be a great reader,it is not enough that you read. It's also how you read. The following strategies guarantee that you'll not only be a better reader but a better person too.
Stop reading books you aren't enjoying. If you find yourself wanting to speed up the reading process on a particular book,you might want to ask yourself,"Is this book any good?" 36 My rule is 100 pages minus your age—so if you're 30years old and a book hasn't attracted you by page 70,stop reading it.
37 You were young when you read The(Great Gatsby for the first time. You were just a kid when someone told you the story of Odysseus. You've already read them or learned about them,so you're done,right? 38 It's why we have to read and reread. Because the world is constantly changing and we are constantly changing,therefore what we get out of books can also change.
Ask people you admire for book recommendations. If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads. 39 Every time I met a successful or important person I admired,I would ask them,"What's a book that changed your life?”And then I would read that book. If a book changed someone's life—whatever the topic or style—it's probably worth the investment. If it changed them, then it will likely at least help you,
40 The path to wisdom is not a straight one. The journey is long with ups and downs, highs and lows. Maybe you're in the middle of a low right now. This can be a scary place to be, because it can feel like you'll be stuck there forever. A reading slump always pops up for me, for instance,during a book launch when it's nearly impossible for me to concentrate enough to read. But I've found I'm able to get out of it by rereading something that has really spoken to me in the past.
A.Get out of depression. B.Reread the masters.
C.Provide some interesting books.
D.Life is too short to read books you don't enjoy reading. E.We surely forget the content of the classics.
F.When I was a teenager,I got in the habit of doing this.
G.We can't be content to simply pick up a book once and judge it by that experience.

At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours,when the bell rang,Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there,among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new,he didn't know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch,Fahad laughed a lot and said,"I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?”Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn't answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench,he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad's,as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

34.C 词义猜测题，根据该句中"push similar efforts，可知 bar在这里是限止的意思，故选C.
35.D 主旨大意题，文章介绍了人们对无现金政策的不同看法，其中提到了许多该政策的弊端，无现金对于部分人群来说意味着诸多不便。故选D。

One possible version:
Dear John,
Learning about your interest in Chinese music,I would like to share the related information with you.
Chinese music varies from folk music to pop music,enjoying a long development history. As far as I'm concerned, my favourite is Chinese folk music, a traditional and typical music that illustrates the life of people in a community. I'm really into this kind of music for various reasons. Some traditional Chinese instruments are played in folk music, allowing us to learn Chinese culture. More importantly,whenever I listen to Chinese folk music,I am fully absorbed in the notes and lyrics, relieving my stress. In addition, the music gives me an access to making new friends.
I do hope you could learn to enjoy Chinese folk music.
Yours
LiHua
第二节
One possible version:
At first Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad.However,it was not easy. He felt his cheeks blushing and a sense of guilt rising inside of him. Glancing first at Fahad,who was still chatting happily,and then at the wallet in his hand,Asad finally made up his mind. He got up and went straight to Fahad and his group. Upon seeing Asad approach him,Fahad said,“Hey loser!Are you okay? Still want money?""No,"replied Asad,"I've just come to return your wallet which you dropped over there.”Fahad stood shocked for a second. All his friends were silent too.
Then Fahad asked,“Why are you giving it back?”“Because I was told by my family that honesty won't let you down." Asad explained. Fahad avoided Asad's shining eyes. What followed was an awkwardly long silence, which was eventually broken by Asad's stomach growling loudly. Surprisingly, the arrogant boy reached out his hand and asked,"What about having lunch together?"Before Asad could say anything,Fahad quickly added,"Of course,my treat."It was on that very day that Asad made his first friend in the new school,and he truly recognized the value of sincerity and honesty in a relationship.
写作思路：
续写第一段由 Asd 在捡到 Fahad 钱包后的心理活动展开，通过他内心的短暂挣扎引出最终归还钱包的决定，情节过渡自然，同时很好地呼应了前文的内容，续写第二段中 Asad 国答 Fahad 自己归还钱包的原因——“诚实不会让你失望”以及结尾处 Assd 的感情直接点明了文章的主题。最后一句既是对这段特殊经历的准确概括，也进一步升华了文章的主旨。

Good evening,everyone. Welcome to our program. Today,I'd like to share the story about Muhammad Ali. Maybe you have known about him from history lessons or movies. But I believe most of our audience are too young to have watched him compete as a professional boxer. Even if you've never watched boxing or never heard of him,there is much to admire about this athlete's life.
Ali was born in 1942. When he was four years old, he said to his mom that he wanted to be the world champion. In 1964, he defeated Sonny Liston in a fight for the heavyweight championship of the world,successfully becoming the world champion. This is when I first learned about him. It was his passion for what he was doing that inspired me, rather than his skills or his confidence. He once said,“Don't count the days. Make the days count.”His coach said that he was always the first to come and the last to leave during practice.
Ali retired from boxing in 1981 and then devoted his life to world peace. That earned him the support of many countries, from world leaders to ordinary people.

1.【原文】W: Can I help you, sir?
M: Yes, do you have this shirt in size M? In the same blue color please. It matches my shoes well.
2．【原文】M: Eventually, you’ll be old like me, Helen. Now, you have less responsibility — so enjoy it.
W: That’s true, Grandpa. I’m just stressed about my grades and school friends.
M: All students do — just try to enjoy your work and don’t worry.
3．【原文】M: Is your school organizing a year-end trip like last year?
W: Unfortunately not. After the problems they had in France, they’ve decided not to do one this year.
M: That is a shame. Traveling is very educational. I’ll write to the headmaster and give advice.
4．【原文】M: How on earth is Gary still working for this company? He is late for everything — his meetings, his reports and he’s coming back later from his lunch breaks than others.
W: I know. I agree. But we’d better give him a chance to correct his mistakes.
5．【原文】M: I’ll take a large iced coffee, please.
W: It’s $2.00.

M: Of course.
W: But my phone is in the car. I’ll call her later.
7.【原文】W: Mike, can you get out first and tell me if I’ve parked between the lines? I might have to back up and try again.
M: OK. Well, the right tire (轮胎) is right on the line, but the spot next to you is a parking space that is meant for someone in a wheelchair.
W: This spot is too small for our car, anyway. Come on. We’ll park somewhere else.
M: Are you sure you want to take the chance, Lisa? It’s a holiday weekend, and I doubt whether there are better spaces available.
W: Fine. I’ll be careful when I’m opening the door.
M: So, you take Jenny to get some sports shoes first, and I’ll take Roger in for his haircut. I’ll be able to pick up your medicine at the drugstore while he’s in there.
W: Oh, thanks. We can meet up at the food court for lunch in…say an hour?
M: Perfect.
8．【原文】M: Are you sure it’s safe to drive in this fog? You might lose all sense of direction when you drive through the forest.
W: It should be okay. It’s just coming in from the sea. Once I’m on the road, it should clear.

W: Well, it’s a six-hour trip, but I’ll stop for lunch and a coffee to keep me awake.
M: And when will you come back?
W: Probably on Sunday, or maybe on Monday. It depends on whether I get the photos I need. And if it rains, I might need an extra day. It’s dangerous to climb mountains after raining.

W: No, I’ll be fine on my own.
M: Call me once you get to your hotel.

M: I know. The Christmas Market is really busy. Hundreds of people shopping there will hear our company singing.
W: And it will help boost the new members’ confidence.
M: Even better... The lead actors are happy to sing at The Christmas Market too! They’re both famous enough to attract many journalists, and hopefully that will mean increased ticket sales!
W: Okay, it’s very exciting, so we need to make sure that everything is prepared. We’ll need a tight practice schedule between now and December. If we’re going to go public with some of our material, it’s got to look really good!
M: Absolutely. And we need to make the costume department work hard so all the actors will look convincing.

本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，母女之间虽然有许多共同之处，她们的关系也可以很亲密，但不会成为最好的朋友，因为母女关系不同于朋友关系，它独具特点。友谊可以不再，但母女关系，无论好坏，都会永存下去。
24．词义猜测题。根据文章第一段However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.可知，然而，母女关系有其独特的特点，使它有别于友谊。这些特征包括责任等级和无条件的爱，这使母亲和女儿无法成为最好的朋友。后一句是对前一句的解释，说明为何母女关系不同于朋友关系。由此可知，划线词preclude意为“妨碍”。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.可知，母女之情是不可替代的，故A项错误；根据第一段最后一句These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.可知，这些特征包括责任等级和无条件的爱，这使母亲和女儿无法成为最好的朋友，故B项错误；根据第二段I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend.可知，我喜欢和我妈妈在一起，但我不会把她当成我最好的朋友，故D项错误；根据第四段第一句Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking.可知，最好的朋友可能是，也可能不是最好的朋友，但不管怎样，母女关系是永久的，即使因为某些不幸的原因她们不说话。友谊关系可以不再，但母女关系会永远存在下去，即母女关系超越了友谊。故选C。
26．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是中心段，提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于友谊。第二段引用Marina的观点说明这种不同性；第三至五段分别从母女关系中的共性因素、不同责任因素、母爱因素阐明了引起这种不同性的原因。故可以推断出，作者主要证明他的陈述是通过解释说明。故选B。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship.(母亲和女儿之间的关系有时令人困惑。这种关系可以类似于友谊)及及下文对这一关系的论述可知，本文主要论述了母女关系不同于友谊关系的这一观点。由此可知，Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?(母亲能成为女儿最好的朋友吗？)适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。

语篇类型：记叙文　主题语境：人与社会——人际关系——“我”和父亲
[文章大意]　父亲是一个沉默寡言的人，对“我”和“我”的兄弟都没有讲过多少话，后来，他患上了一种血癌，在他生命的最后一年，有一回他跟“我”谈了许多话，从那以后，“我”变得了解他并爱他了。
1．答案与解析：B　根据上文中的“rarely tried to talk with my brother or me. He was quiet and distant”可知，父亲很少跟“我”和“我”的兄弟说话，是一位沉默寡言，并且和我们疏远的人。据此可以推知，“我”不太喜欢他，故B项正确。
2．答案与解析：A　根据空后一句可知，父亲回到家还继续干活，据此可以推知，A项符合语境。
3．答案与解析：F　根据空前一句可知，“我”知道他患上了一种血癌；结合空后一句可知，在最后一年，他只能起身，走到椅子旁。据此可以推知，空处介绍人患上这种癌症后的变化，故F项与此处匹配。
4．答案与解析：G　根据下文可知，父亲一改往常沉默寡言的个性，跟“我”谈了许多话，谈他的人生，他的悲伤和他爱的人； 结合尾段中的“come to know him and love him”可以推知，G项表述的“我”进去之后发生的事情(父亲说的话)这么多年后仍让“我”感动符合语境。
5．答案与解析：E　根据空后一句中的“though”可知，空处与下文构成转折关系；结合常识可以推知，尽管父亲生病“我”肯定不高兴，但是如果他没有生病，“我”可能不会有机会去了解他并爱他，故E项正确。

【参考范文】One possible version:
One night we were sleeping in the bed room when I heard some strange noise. I thought it was Max running and hitting something, so I kept lying in the bed and made an attempt to fall asleep again. However, the noise became louder and louder, which had already annoyed me. Swiftly I got up from my bed. I opened the door and found Max was running around the living room, trying to let all the things fall down. These abnormal behaviors really confused me while it also made me a little afraid.
At that time, Max ran towards me. He firmly grabbed my trousers and motioned me to the kitchen. As I approached the kitchen, I could obviously smell a strong burning scent and instantly knew what had happened. When I saw the fierce fire in the kitchen, I dashed into my children’s room like an arrow, waking them up at my maximum voice. Rushing out of the house together, I called 911 and asked our neighbors for help at the same time. Fortunately both my family and my house were saved. Thanks to our smart Max, we did escape from death.
