D. 34 minutes.BHave you noticed that your life becomes a little easier？ Now， when you go to a certain shopping mall， you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi， you can book one with your phone. In fact， all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.The idea of a smart city was brought up by the American company IBM. Generally， a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the internet to improve city planning， save money and resources， and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be？ Here are great examples that we can learn from.In 2009， Dubuque became the first smart city in the USA. The city used smart water metres to take the place of traditional water metres. They can detect（发现） the water waste and leakage（泄漏） and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like the electricity and natural gas. This way， people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop， the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival time. The government organized a research team and provided an app that collected data on almost everything： the light temperature， and the movements of cars and people. Opening the app near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.（　　）4. According to the passage， which of the following is true？A. Digital technologies are used in smart cities.B. An English company first raised the idea of a smart city.C. A smart city is mainly made up of free Wi-Fi and phones.D. A smart city is still an idea and hasn’t come into being.（　　）5. The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in many aspects（方面） except  　　　　.A. shopping B. health care C. traffic controlling D. public transportation（　　）6. Compared to traditional water metres， smart water metres do better in  　　　　.A. cleaning water B. supplying water C. saving water D. producing water（　　）7. What’s the main idea of the passage？A. Digital technologies help improve city planning.B. Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter.C. Smart cities are very common in both Dubuque and Santander.D. Spain and the USA take the leading position in building smart cities.CAaron Whiteside， born in the 1980s， believes that life was better in times gone by. He thinks that people were polite and nice in the 1930s but that they are greedy（贪婪的） in the modern society. But his friend thinks that living conditions have improved a lot and that humans are still kind today. So what do you think？Just like Aaron Whiteside， nostalgic people think people lived more happily with less money in the past. In the old days， people sat around a table together， sharing food and talking with each other. But now most families spend about 20 minutes on supper before hurrying off. Families know less about each other’s lives. There is much more pressure on making a living.Besides， people bought fewer things in the past， which was better for the environment and made people more creative. For example， bands from the 1960s were much better than today’s. Creative expression is now being lost to technology and greed. 　▲　 In their opinion， both men and women are able to live how they like now. However， women’s position was quite low in the past because women were expected to stay at home， looking after babies and doing a lot of housework. Most women led a boring life at that time.What’s more， it is agreed that children get better education today. That’s because there are more schools and colleges in the modern society. Thanks to technology development， we live in a shared world where we share information， services and culture， and that gives us new perspectives（视角）.（　　）8. Aaron Whiteside and his friend are mentioned as examples to  　　　　.A. explain the importance of being polite and niceB. compare people’s lives in different placesC. give useful suggestions on keeping friendshipD. show different opinions on life now and then（　　）9. The underlined words “nostalgic people” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “people who  　　　　”.A. long for money B. miss the past C. care about health D. refuse to change（　　）10. Which of the following can be put in the “ 　▲　” in Paragraph 4？A. So， many people prefer to live in the past.B. Additionally， life in the past was simple.C. However， others hold that life now is fairer.D. Actually， people now are much more creative.（　　）11. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？ DPinocchio had a fever. The Fairy took a glass of water with medicine and said lovingly to Pinocchio， “Drink this， and you’ll be up and well.” Pinocchio looked at the glass worriedly and said， “I’d rather die than drink that awful medicine.”At that moment the door of the room flew open and in came four rabbits as black as ink， carrying a small black coffin（棺材） on their shoulders.“What do you want？” asked Pinocchio.“We have come for you，” said the largest rabbit.“Oh， Fairy， my Fairy，” Pinocchio cried out. “Give me that glass！ Quick， please！ I don’t want to die！” And holding the glass with both hands he swallowed（吞下） the medicine quickly. Then the rabbits had to leave.After that， the Fairy added， “Pinocchio， tell me what happened to you when you were in the hands of the robbers last time.”“I had five gold pieces to give to my father， but on the way I met two robbers. They tied my neck with a rope and hung me to a tree，” said Pinocchio. “Where are the gold pieces now？” the Fairy asked.“I lost them，” answered Pinocchio. As he spoke， his nose became at least two inches longer. “And where did you lose them？”“In the wood nearby.” At this second lie his nose grew a few more inches.“If you lost them in the nearby wood，” said the Fairy， “we’ll look for them and find them.”“Ah， now I remember，” replied Pinocchio， “I did not lose the gold pieces， but I swallowed them.”At this third lie， his nose became longer than ever. The Fairy sat looking at him and laughing！“Why do you laugh？” Pinocchio asked her， worried now at the sight of his growing nose.“I am laughing at your lies.”“How do you know I am lying？”“Lies， my boy， are known in a moment. There are two kinds of lies， lies with short legs and lies with long noses. Yours， just now， happened to have long noses.”—Adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio（　　）12.

No matter how you met these people， they probably have one key thing in common： 1.______　However， spending time only with people of our own age can make us more separated from other age groups. 2.______　 So， we’d better make more friends of different generations（一代人）.Making friends across generations can be really good for both sides. Professor Dawn Carr said that making younger friends could help older people find meaningful ways to spend their time. Others might enjoy learning new ideas. Moreover， many said that their younger friends helped them feel younger. In these relationships， they could break free from the stereotypes（刻板印象） about how older people “should” behave. 3.______　 With younger friends， he didn’t have to.Young people might also value the hard-earned lessons of someone older. Panyin Pobee， a 32-year-old project manager， said that when he talked with people of his own age about looking for a new job， he found himself just complaining. But his older friend， who had been in a similar situation， was able to offer useful advice.4.______　 Many young people think their future will be like their parents’， but they should fight against that line of thinking. A greater pool of older friends can help people create their own blueprints.A society that mixes different generations more freely would be less lonely and more open-minded. 5.______　 They might knit sweaters with friends much older than them or even hang out at the bar when they are in their 80s.五、 根据句意及所给中文提示、首字母或英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。1.

The show not only visited archaeology sites （考古遗址）， but also invited culture experts to help people have a better and deeper understanding of these cultural treasures.According to Li Zhenya， the show’s producer， “Who we are and where we come from” are key questions on the way to finding our genes（基因）. “We hope to record the valuable moments of every treasure. That is our purpose behind the show，” said Li.The show visited some of China’s most well-known cultural sites， like the Mogao Grottoes and the Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum. How to introduce these treasures in the best way was something that the production team had trouble with.“Chinese history is so long that if we follow time order， then we would have to start with the Xia， Shang and Zhou Dynasties or even earlier. That is not the way we learn history. A collection of thousands of objects from the royal family（皇室） of the Tang Dynasty was found in 1970 in a small village in North-west China’s Shaanxi Province. Who hid these objects underground and why did they do so？ There are so many questions to be answered，” Li said. “Telling these stories behind the cultural treasures is something we hope to do， and then people can discover more about these shining cultural symbols，” Li added.84.

Now， more people have chances to go abroad or travel online. Meanwhile， we used to ride bicycles or take slow buses， but today many people drive cars or take high-speed trains. At school， we do more reading， group work， and often share our ideas in class. In addition， we have become more aware of environmental protection by planting more trees and using less plastic. In my opinion， these changes have made our lives more convenient and meaningful. I hope we can continue to develop our world in a greener and smarter way.Train NumberRouteDeparture（出发）TimeArrival TimePlatform（站台）Marker（标识）ColourG2611Suqian → Shanghai Hongqiao12：0515：312BlueG2223Suqian → Yangzhou12：3214：091OrangeG2571Suqian → Chengdu East13：0015：272GreenG3284Suqian → Chengdu East14：2423：173BrownG8298Suqian → Xuzhou East15：3016：041BlueG2588Suqian → Beijing South18：1622：104OrangeA.
