When Amanda Wanklin and Michael Biggs fell in love, they didn’t realize the challenges they might face as a biracial couple. Amanda says, “At first we only knew that we wanted together.” They settled down in Birmingham, England, eager to start a family. On July 3, 2006, the black and white couple got their “one in a million” miracle: Amanda gave birth to fraternal twin (异卵双胞胎) girls with completely different skin colors, and the greatly amazed parents gave their daughters intertwined names: one would be Millie Marcia Madge Biggs, the other Marcia Millie Madge Biggs.
From a young age the girls had similar features but very different color schemes. Marcia had light brown hair and fair skin like her English-born white mother, while Millie had black hair and brown skin like her black father, who is of Jamaican descent. “We never worried about it; we just accepted it,” Michael says.
“When they were first born,” Amanda recalls, “people would look at my one daughter and then look at my other daughter. Then I’d get asked the question: “Are they twins?”
“Yes.”
“But one’s white and one’s black.”
According to Amanda, people who commented on the girls weren’t openly discriminatory (歧视的) or judgmental—just very curious, and then as time went on, people just saw the beauty in them.
The twins know what racism is. “Racism is where somebody judges you by your color and not by your true self,” Millie says.
Michael, the father, says he’s faced inequality at times throughout his life because of the color of his skin. “But it’s a different time now,” he says. Neither he nor Amanda has ever witnessed racist behavior toward their twin girls.
“When people see us, they think that we’re just best friends,” Marcia says. “When they learn that we’re twins, they’re kind of shocked because one’s black and one’s white.” But when the twins are asked about their differences, they mention something else entirely. “Millie likes things that are girlie. She likes pink and all of that,” Marcia says. “I don’t like the color pink; I’m a tomboy. People should know about us by our true selves, not by our colors. After all, people are made how they are.”
4．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Amanda and Michael are of the same race.
B. Amanda and Michael were not happy about the birth of their twins.
C. The possibility of twins with different skin colors is small.
D. It was easy for Amanda and Michael to start a family of their own.
5．According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?
A. Sometimes Michael is unequally treated because of his race.
B. The twin girls see their skin colors as their major difference.
C. People are curious but friendly to the twin girls.
D. People who are racists judge a person by his appearance.
6．How does Marcia react to the people who ask questions about their differences?
A. She never answers them.
B. She is upset about their questions.
C. She answers with their different characters.
D. She tells them about colors.
7．What is the author’s attitude towards racism?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Tolerant.
C
People have got faster at typing text messages on their phones. But how fast are we at using a smart phone compared to typing words on a traditional keyboard? A team of researchers carried out an experiment.
The researchers used an Internet-based system to test the typing speed of over 37,000 volunteers on their smart phones. The volunteers spent about six hours a day using their phones. Most of them used two thumbs to type. Both Android and iPhone users were tested. They were given 15 English sentences to type out on their phones as quickly and accurately as possible.
The research team found that people wrote about 36 words per minute. It is slower than the average rate for people using a computer keyboard. In a 2018 University of Cambridge study, the average speed for computer typists was 52 words per minute. Noting the narrowing of speed rates between smart phones and computers, the team said we have become slower at typing on keyboards over the years. 75 percent of those taking part in the study had typing speeds below 44 words per minute. But the fastest phone typists reached speeds of 80 words per minute. People using two thumbs typed 38 words per minute. Those using only one finger 29 words per minute.
According to the findings, Anna Feit, a researcher at ETH Zurich, said it makes sense that younger people have higher typing speeds because they spend a lot more time on their devices. It was found that a phone's automatic correct tool can be helpful. Users were able to type faster with it. “The given understanding is that techniques like word completion help people. Feit said. “But we found the time spent thinking about the word suggestions often outweighs the time spent typing the letters, making you slower.
The difference between typing on a smart phone and a keyboard is called “the typing gap". They say this gap will further narrow in future as people get less skilled with keyboards and as smart methods for typing on devices continue to improve.
8．What is the purpose of the experiment?
A. To prove typing on keyboards is the fastest way.
B. To track over 37,000 volunteers' typing habits.
C. To promote people's typing speed on smart phones.
D. To find out how faster people type on their phones.
9．Which of the following groups type the fastest according to the passage?
A. People using two thumbs in the research. B. Those using only one finger in the research.
C. 75 percent of the volunteers in the study. D. Computer typists in the 2018 Cambridge study.
10. What can we know according to Anna Feit?
A. Automatic correct tool isn’t useful. B. Word completion can’t help much.
C. The aged need word suggestions. D. Typing won’t be needed on phones
11．What does the author predict about “the typing gap"?
A. It will become smaller and smaller. B. It will be replaced by word completion.
C. It will make people less skilled at typing. D. It will slow the development of smart phones.
D
Amy Zhang, aged 21, knows her parents have been pushing her to get her driver's license. Yet the college senior has no intention of getting it. A driver's license always struck her as a symbol that she was growing up. “I want to have independence and be an adult. But I didn't want to leave my childhood behind. ” she says. Contrary to the popular belief in the 1980s that a driver's license was a marker of independence, Zhang's viewpoint is increasingly common. When it comes to becoming an adult, more American adolescents now say “Don’t rush me".
Many educators and parents view this slowdown with concern. They see a generation of young people growing up ill-prepared for life. Teachers say more students seem unable to function without their parents. And parents realize their 20-year-old hardly know how to do the laundry, and seems uninterested in driving anywhere.
But other researchers argue that the change in youth behavior reflects a reasonable adaptation to a culture and society changed from former generations. Instead of simply growing up more slowly, they are redefining what it means to transform into an adult. It is natural that people would start to grow up “slower”.
Some researchers have noticed something more fundamental—a change in the definition of adulthood itself. For many young people today, becoming an adult has less to do with external markers—the house, the marriage, the job—than with how they feel internally(内在地). It's the acceptance of oneself, making independent decisions, and financial independence. Kelly Williams says in her best-selling book, “These individual actions add up to a generation that is different.”
Members of this age group today tend to make decisions about work, education, parenthood with care, and when they are ready. They are more politically active; engage in more volunteer work and more connected globally than former generations. Indeed, many of the decisions young people make today are less about adulthood than about the world they are inheriting.
12．What can be concluded from Amy Zhang's case?
A. More American adolescents lack a broader vision.
B. American adolescents seem in no hurry to be an adult.
C. More young people don't accept American car culture.
D. American parents are too strict with their children.
13．What challenge are the young Americans facing according to Para 2?
A．Failing to express their concerns timely. B．Losing curiosity about the world.
C．Lacking essential daily skills. D．Being tired of traditional education.
14．What's the new marker of adulthood in some researchers’ view?
A．How a person feels inside. B．A happy marriage.
C．A successful and highly-paid job. D．How much property they own.
15．What's the best title for the passage?
A．Where the new generation is to go? B．How Americans interpret adulthood?
C．What helps youth be independent? D．Why adolescents say “Don’t rush me"?
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“What’s the meaning of life?” People always ask themselves. Actually, many modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. 16 . Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs (需求理论), Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies. 17 .
I think self-realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them. 18 .
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be. 19 , but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance. 20 . Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change for a long period of life.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.
A. It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B. Being tolerant is the key to acceptance
C. Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
D. This is especially common among college students
E. Many people tend to go along with social expectations
F. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G. Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5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。
Many well-established bookshops have closed and that trend is continuing today, despite their efforts 41 (survive) by offering a cafe or children's activities as well.
There are three main reasons for this trend. First, increasingly more people 42 (give)up reading over the past ten years. Second, quite a high percentage of people 43 continue reading have changed from reading paper books to e-books. Third, of the 44 (limit) number of those who continue reading paper books, a high percentage buy them online instead of from physical bookstores.
Bookstores are providing leisure activities and coffeehouses inside. However, as 45 recent survey shows, these measures seem to be of little help. It would be a shame if physical bookstores were to disappear 46 (complete). Bookstores are more than “places selling books", they are cultural palaces. A city without bookstores is not culturally rich.
However, bookstores cannot survive the fierce market 47 (compete) and they are failing. The 48 (economy) burden is so heavy and their profit so thin 49 they cannot continue existing. In order to prevent bookstores from totally 50 (disappear), both the government and the society should help find good ways.

Ever since I was a small child, I had enjoyed doing exercise, either indoor or outdoor. Keep fit is important to me and I used to spend a couple of hours at the gym every week. But I was finding that a bit bored. I’d thought of swimming, and the nearest pool was too far away. I’d heard from boxing and I was mentioned it to my elder brother. He just said, “Why not give it try?” So I went to a club and it was at the club where I found I enjoyed them. Of course, to be superb, which I needed was a lot of training.

Dear Daniel,
I’m so delighted to have received your letter. These days, I spend almost all of my time studying for the College Entrance Exam. I study from morning until midnight, taking many practice exams. I really look forward to the upcoming summer after the exam, when I plan to travel with my friends, enjoying ourselves without worrying about the exam any longer.
It’s a pity that I can’t come to America this summer, as I must prepare for university. Instead I would like to invite you to come to China to visit me! You can taste delicious Chinese food, visit many interesting places, and meet my friends and family. I hope you will consider travelling to China. Please let me know what you think about this plan and your earliest reply will be much appreciated.
Yours,
Li Hua
