In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world. He was just 23 years old—and he built the plane himself. How did he achieve this?

Irving's interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents’ bookstore in Miami, Florida. One of the customers was a pilot, Gary Robinson. One day, Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn't think he was smart enough. But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport. He showed Irving inside the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving’s life.

Irving really wanted to fly, but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs. He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools. At home, he practiced flying on a video game. In the end, he got enough money for flight school.

At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly. But he wasn’t finished. Next, he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.

Building the plane was difficult. Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts. Most said no, but he persisted (顽强地坚持) in asking. Three years later, he had parts worth $300,000. Columbia, an airplane company, agreed to build a plane using the parts. Soon, his airplane was ready to fly.

On March 23, 2007, Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days—with 145 hours in the air—he landed back in Miami. A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.

Irving saw many young people in the crowd, and this had a powerful effect (影响) on him. He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.

“Everyone told me what I couldn’t do,” says Irving. “They said I was too young, that I didn’t have enough money. But even if no one believes in your dream,” he says, “you have to pursue (追求) it.”

37. Why was Gary Robinson important in Irving's life?

A. He got Irving interested in flying. B. He sent Irving to a flight school.

C. He helped Irving build a plane. D. He taught Irving how to fly.

38. Put the events about Irving in the correct order.

c. Irving met Gary Robinson.          d. Irving learned to fly.

A. c—d—a—b B. c—a—d—b C. b—c—a—d D. b—c—d—a

39. What can we know about Irving's personality according to the passage?

A. Clever and honest. B. Humorous and responsible.

C. Polite and powerful. D. Hard-working and persistent.

40. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Becoming a Pilot. B. Life in Flight School.

C. Achieving a Dream. D. Building Your Own Plane.

Yesterday I went to buy a little tree for my father. When I was talking with the cashier(收银员), he asked what I would be doing with this little tree. I explained that it was for my Dad, because he no longer lived at home.

The cashier just stopped and looked at me with the kindest look. He shared with me that his grandfather couldn’t live in their home any longer either because he had Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默症). So I shared with him that my Dad was on the same journey. We talked about the difficulties because of the illness, not only for those who are ill, but also for their families.

When I was paying for the tree, he said, “Because this is for your Dad, let me see what I can do for you.” He took some coupons(优惠券) from a drawer and reduced my cost by over 60%.

I thanked him for his kindness. We wished each other Merry Christmas and the best hopes for our loved family members.

On the way home I kept thinking of the kindness he offered me. It was truly a moment of “kindness given, kindness received”. I made Dad’s tree more beautiful as soon as I got home. So thankful. So blessed.

When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员), they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn't it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard as well: Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and… kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.

Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I'm a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you're not a popular star. I'm registered (注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains who I'll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.

Sometimes being an extra is a "hurry up and wait" job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons  as customers in a department store.

It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don't even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for the money, it's nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I've beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.

41. Emily gives standard answers because ______.

A. she is proud of her job B. she wants to hide her feelings

C. she thinks it's unnecessary to explain D. they are the exact answers to the questions

42. What does Emily think of her job?

A. Busy. B. Enjoyable. C. Fashionable. D. Easy.

43. In line 21, another way to say as a bonus would be ______.

A. above expectation B. as a result C. in general D. after all

44. According to the passage, _____.

A. the famous actors look down upon the extras

B. being an extra is always a "hurry up and wait" job

C. Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra

D. those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained

45. We can infer that Emily ______.

A. often pays the bills for others

B. sometimes has to get up very early

C. has beaten all the phone game players

D. was in face of danger in her first extra role

Whether from news reports or social media articles, you may know that 5G is coming.

5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new network(网络)after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G and it can connect everyone and everything together. 5G networks will cover many cities in China soon. 5G means super-fast data(数据) speed, one can download a two-hour movie for fewer than 10 seconds, and it is making our lives more and more convenient.

5G will make self-driving cars possible. For safety, self-driving cars need super-fast data transmission(传输)to communicate with their nearby environment. 5G is just what makes self-driving cars achieve this. Eyen airplanes will become "smart" in the near future. Passengers will be able to use 5G networks in the air to connect to the Internet or place orders for food and drinks.

5G will be a big help for students who take online classes. Many people live in poor areas in the world where there are no schools. But with 5G, this will change. Students all over the world will be able to see places like the Great Wall without leaving their rooms.

The facts listed above are only a part of what 5G will make possible and popular. Just as in the early days of the Internet in the 1990s, few could see how it could change the world. The same will surely be true of 5G. With 5G, many things do not seem like dreams anymore. Now let's get ready to say goodbye to 4G and welcome the coming of 5G.

Facial recognition technology(人脸识别技术）is widely used today. For example, police use it to search for bad guys. It's also used to unlock phones or doors.

Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection(探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising(广告).

Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can judge a person's "happiness" or "fear" level. That helps businesses see how people feel as they lo at products or advertisements in the store. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.

Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in those boards can detect information like people's ages and five levels of feelings——from "very happy" to "very unhappy".

Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers' experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices

Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy(隐私)group, is one of them. She thinks    ▲   . For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person's age and feelings.

However, one store testing the technology explained they wouldn't store people's information like names or ages. And the advertising board system maker said it didn't keep any personal information or record any videos.

36. Facial detection technology can tell people's _________, according to the passage.

A. weight B. feelings C. height D. jobs

37. Which of the following sentences can be put in the _________?

A. nobody likes to have their feelings collected

B. it is very important to protect people's privacy

D. businesses may use them to have more customers

38. We can infer from the passage that facial detection technology _________.

A. can detect buyers' names and record them

B. is put inside some large advertising boards

C. may be used to sell cheaper goods in all stores

D. may need some time before being widely used

39. The best title of the passage may be"_________.

A. Facial Recognition Technology Entering a New Field

B. Facial Recognition Technology Looking for Bad Guys

C. Facial Detection Technology Going into Advertising Field

D. Facial Detection Technology Improving Buyers' Experience

    People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住处), and even the air we breathe (呼吸).

Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.

Plants are also part of the water cycle (水循环). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.

Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (谷物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.

When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!

Trees are an important plant resource (资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

36．________ is part of the air we breathe.

A．Sunlight B．Water C．Food D．Oxygen

37．What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in?

A．It goes back into the air. B．It stays in the plant.

C．It goes into the ground. D．It stays in the river.

38．What does the phrase “cut down on” mean in Paragraph 5?

A．Cause. B．Accept. C．Reduce. D．Expect.

39．What is the best title of the passage?

A．A Different Place B．The Uses of Plants

C．Food on the Earth D．Gardens at Home

40．You would find the passage in ________.

A．an interesting novel B．a book about animals

C．a popular play D．a book about nature

Some people ski (滑雪) down mountains. Others climb huge rocks or photograph dangerous animals. Why do people enjoy risky activities like these?

Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good. Psychologist (心理学家) Marvin says that this kind of explorers (探险者) are always looking for change and excitement. When people do something new or risky, a chemical (化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling. They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.

Other people don't take risks for the feeling of excitement but to achieve a goal. For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000—mile special journey in central Africa. He worked to help save the wildlife there. Fay’s expeditions helped create 13 national parks.

For other people, such as extreme athletes (极限运动员), taking risks is part of their job. Sports psychologist Shane says extreme athletes see the world differently. In a dangerous activity, most people probably do not feel in control. Extreme athletes are different: they feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can even help them. For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed.

Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers. However, we still take risks in our lives. Some of us take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people. Sometimes, we take financial risks, such as buying a house. And sometimes we take career risks, such as leaving a job or starting a business. Most people take risks in some areas of life, but not in others. What kind of risk—taker are you?

41 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The brain. B. Something new.

C. A chemical. D. A pleasant feeling.

42. What does the underlined word “expedition” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Much money. B. A journey with a special goal.

C. A great idea. D. A plan for a dangerous journey.

43. How many kinds of extreme athletes or explorers are mentioned in the passage?

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Mike Fay is a professional risk—taker.

B. Most people don’t take risks in their daily life.

C. Extreme athletes deal with danger better than others.

D. Daron Rahlves takes risks mainly for change and excitement.

    Rupert Isaacson was born in Africa, and grew up in London and in the English countryside, where he discovered his love of horses. Because he grew up hearing so many fascinating memories about Africa from his parents, he went there and lived with the people called The Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert.

By the year 2000, Rupert was already working as a reporter, writing articles and guidebooks about Africa and India. He met his wife Kristin in India. Today, they live with their son, Rowan, in the US.

Besides writing another book, The Long Ride Home, about travelling with Rowan to Africa, Australia and Arizona in the US, Rupert has also produced the documentary Endangerous, with Rowan as host, about dangerous animals that are endangered.
