Olly Neal grew up in Arkansas. He didn’t care much for high school. One day during his senior year, he cut class and walked into the school library. He discovered a book written by Frank Yerby. The book was The Treasure of Pleasant Valley and it attracted Neal’s attention. But there was one problem — if Neal took the book to the check out counter (收银台), his friends would know he was reading books.

“Then my fame (名誉) would be down,” Neal said. “I wanted them to know that all I could do was fight and cuss (咒骂).” Finally, Neal decided to steal the book.

A week later, Neal had finished the book. He brought it back to the library. But when he put it back, there was another book by Yerby. He took it as well.The same thing happened again. He read four of Yerby’s books that term —checking out none of them.

But Neal’s sneaky action turned out not to have been so sneaky after all. Attending his 13-year high school get-together, Neal met the school’s librarian, Mildred Grady. She saw Neal take that book. She said, “My first thought was to call him out, and then I realized what his situation was. So I decided that if Neal was showing an interest in books, I would find another one for him and put it in the same place where the one he had taken was.”

This was not an easy matter, because Frank Yerby’s books were not especially available. But the woman’s efforts paid off: Neal went on to attend law school and later became a great judge. When Grady died, Neal told the story and he said, “I thank Mrs. Grady for helping me get into the habit of enjoying reading, so that I was able to go to law school and survive.”

14. Why did Neal steal the book instead of checking it out?

A. To prove he was a skillful thief.

B. To show the book to his friends.

C. To keep being known as a troublemaker.

D. To avoid communicating with the librarian.

15. What does the underlined word “sneaky” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. secret.  B. dangerous.  C. brave.  D. illegal.

16. How did Mrs. Grady influence Neal?

A. She taught Neal how to survive.    B. She persuaded Neal to be honest.

C. She encouraged Neal to study law.  D. She helped Neal develop reading habits.

17. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Reading changes people’s life      B. A librarian changed a boy’s life

C. A senior student became a judge    D. Frank Yerby’s books attracted a boy

C

Next time you’re in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you’re on public transport, in a cafe or simply walking down the street.

I’m not saying that I am not an example of this, but it always amazes me how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular.

For example, I recently visited London and travelled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people asleep, almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see exactly what they are all doing. Of course, being underground it is difficult for you to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the Internet, but there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music, and I am sure that as soon as they emerged from the train station they would start texting or calling or checking their emails.

Recently, my smartphone broke and had to be sent off to the warehouse for repair for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really old, basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was send text messages, make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind not having constant updates about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It allowed me to spend more lime taking in my surroundings.

However, I knew that as soon as I got my smartphone back I would be one of those people once again. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget my smartphone.

18. Why are you asked to look around in Paragraph 1?

A. To ensure your safety.

B. To communicate with people.

C. To count the people around you.

D. To count the number of people using the phones.

19. What were many people on the tube in London probably doing?

A. Using mobile apps.

B. Talking with each other.

C. Reading printed books.

D. Checking social network sites.

20. What did the author think of having to use his basic phone?

A. He felt great actually.

B. He found it very inconvenient.

C. He couldn’t see much difference.

D. He felt terrible at first but better later.

21. What does the underlined part “those people” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. People without mobiles.

B. People using basic phones.

C. People using smartphones reasonably.

D. People spending a lot of time on mobiles.

D

With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient.

 After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents.

 But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors(传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride.

 Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company.

 “Smart cities will also allow us to save resources.” said Mrinalini Ingram.“By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.”

 Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure(基础设施).

22. What calls for the development of smart cities?

A. The rapid progress in 5G networks.

B. The marked increase in world population.

C. The growing number of residents living in cities.

D. The major concern over the safety of living in cities.

23. How does the author explain the way smart cities work?

A. By making a contrast.    

B. By giving examples.

C. By listing figures.     

D. By telling a story.

24. What can we learn from Mrinalini Ingram about smart cities?

A. Air pollution will be stopped in its track.

B. People will be better aware of environmental protection.

C. People will be able to make the most of our environment at will.

D. Resources can be saved by keeping track of how they are used.

25. What is the author’s attitude toward smart cities?

A. Indifferent.  B. Critical.   C. Positive.  D.  Doubtful.

Ways to Reduce Food Waste

While many people in poor areas suffer from a shortage of food, a large amount of food is wasted in the rest of the world. 26_______ Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste:

◆ Learn to store food. Not sure how to keep those greens from wilting (蔫) overnight? Can’t keep your tomatoes fresh for more than a day or two? 27_______ Not sure where to start? Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online.

◆ 28_______ Recipes (食谱) often direct you to remove a part of whatever food you’re cooking with, but often those food items can be saved. For example, leave the skin on carrots and potatoes (The skins actually have a ton of valuable nutrients!), save the beet greens for a salad, and don’t throw away the outer skin of oranges!

◆ Pick the “funny looking” food. 29_______ Buying food that comes in a different shape, size or colour helps use up food that might be given up.

◆ Understand best-before dates correctly. People often confuse best- before dates with expiry dates (有效期). The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food. 30_______ So while the taste may not be that good,many food items are still safe to eat for many days beyond the best-before date.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

　I was a single mother of four children, working at a low-­paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. I always told myself to be brave and strong, just for my four children. I hoped all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as my children could grow up healthily. Every New Year's Day we drove downtown to enjoy a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of shopping at the mall. This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coming of the day. They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for New Year's Day.

The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-­dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts. Then everyone scattered (散开) with the bill. I sat at a table in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence. It must be a happy day.

Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about the day, laughing and asking each other about what they had bought. I noticed Ginger, my younger daughter had only one small and flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars—fifty-­cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-­dollar bill I had given her? I was angry. After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door. I couldn't hold back my anger and shouted at her, “What about the rest of the money? No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars. What did you do with the rest of the money?”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
