A
The Coolest Inventions
An Oceans Vacuum
There’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42 % over 10 years.
Easy-On Shoes
In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the Fly Ease. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Fly Ease shoes sells for $ 130.
An Airport for Drones (无人机）
As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.
21. What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?_______.
A. It can be a money-saver. B. It can grow year by year.
C. It can tear plastic into pieces. D. It can be put into wide use soon.
22. What do we know about Nike? _______.
A. It offers free shoes to the disabled. B. It is designing new shoes frequently.
C. It provides customer-friendly services. D. It responded to Matthew’s request passively.
23. Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”? _______.
A. Because road travel there is rough.
B. Because there are too many drones.
C. Because they’re easier to construct than roads.
D. Because they are receptive to new technology.
B
At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement
from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
24. What do we know about James Harrison? _______.
A. He saved 2.4 million poor people. B. He is to retire as a blood donor.
C. He is a very grateful blood donor. D. He donates blood nearly every day.
25. What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4? _______.
A. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
B. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
26. What can we infer from the passage about Harrison? _______.
A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.[
B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D. His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? _______.
A. A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire D. The Man with the Golden Arm
C]
Increasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.
International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on.
This is all changing.
Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to “create a calm, relaxed atmosphere” without being disturbed by announcements.
“Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges
(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.
In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland — a country where the tourism slogan is “Silence, Please” — became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept.
As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.
Lost track of time in the shop?
Too bad.
Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional emergency circumstances.
Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display systems and interactive kiosks (交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers.
At Munich Airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based, face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking times to their destinations.
Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple.
There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements, along with boarding calls.
But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to specific gates, as has been adopted in Helsinki.
28. What is Angela Gittens’ opinion on the silent airport concept? _______.
A. It makes airport noise-free.
B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.
C. It has changed international airports’ reputation.
D. It has encouraged the service industry in airports.
29. What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport? _______.
A. Their boarding time. B. Finland’s tourism slogan.
C. The shops’ opening hours. D. The “you are here” display.
30. Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the next? _______.
A. To show its popularity. B. To introduce InfoGate kiosks.
C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words. D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.
31. What is the best title for the text? _______.
A. Silence, please. This is an airport! B. Can airports be as quiet as temples?
C. Silent airports all around the world D. Technology helps airports become interactive
D
Is any economist so dull as to criticize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such vagaries (奇想) as GDP growth. After all, everyone is spending; in America, retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made.
Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient(接受者) would like — he tries to guess her preferences, as economists say — and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy; indeed, it is often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.
Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist at Yale University, sought to estimate the difference in dollar terms. In a research, he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season: first, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the sentimental value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were gloomy: on average, a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver.
In addition, recipients may not know their own preferences very well. Some of the best gifts, after all, are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying, but which turn out to be especially well picked. And preference can change. So by giving a jazz CD, for example, the giver may be encouraging the recipient to enjoy something that was ignored before. This, a desire to build skills, is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore their children’s desires for video games and buy them books instead.
Finally, there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase. If someone else
buys them, however, they can be enjoyed guilt-free. This might explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays. Thus, the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try hard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will have a high sentimental value.
32. The word “sentimental” in Paragraph 3 is close to “_______.”
A. intelligent B. emotional C. social D. practical
33. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? _______.
A. Price is nothing but the factor when you give gifts.
B. Chocolates will be blamed when people receive them as gifts.
C. The receivers often overestimate the values of gifts.
D. Wants do not always correspond to needs in gift-giving.
34. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text? _______.
A. The gift-giver tries to ignore the actual needs of the receiver.
B. The best gifts are well picked by the givers.
C. In gift-giving, guessing preference is often a failure, so it’s the thought that counts.
D. You have to take money into consideration when giving a gift.
35. The text is most likely taken from a _______.
A. users’ handbook B. medical journal C. travel magazine D. consumer-related report

If you’ve made a routine of a daily walk, congratulations! You’re getting many benefits of a walk. But there’s one simple mistake that could be putting your life at risk. Almost 129,000 pedestrians were injured, and 5,376 were killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2015, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). 36 .
Luckily, there are some steps you can take to stay safe on foot. Sure, you drive on the right side of the road in the US, but that’s not where you should be as a pedestrian. 37 . Walking on a sidewalk can 100% guarantee your safety. But if you have to stay on the road, the CDC recommends walking toward traffic.
Seems like it couldn’t make much difference. 38 . Simply walking against traffic instead of with it cut the risk of getting hit by a car by an average of 77%, according to the findings.
39 . Well, if you walk the same direction you’d drive, the cars closest to you are coming from behind. That means you’d need to rely on the driver to see you and react if it’s coming up too closely. If the person behind the wheel is not absorbed, you could end up injured—or worse.
On the other hand, when you’re walking against traffic, you can see the cars heading toward you. Facing those vehicles lets you see danger coming and get out of the way if necessary, and you aren’t putting your life in the hands of every driver who passes. 40 . Or skip the busy streets entirely and learn to “mall walk” in the long corridors of shopping malls.
A. If there’s a sidewalk available, you should always use it
B. Where it is convenient and clear, make sure to take the route
C. Next time you go for a walk or run, face the traffic and keep watchful
D. You may be astonished by such a big difference between the choices
E. Look backwards and forwards all the time when you walk along the traffic
F. This means one crash-related pedestrian death every 1.6 hours
G. But a study of car accidents between 2006 and 2010 would argue otherwise

The other day, I had abruptly run out of printer ink just when I needed it. So I made a long 41 to the only store around here that sells it. It was the 42 time to shop. The store was 43 with people and the wait at the checkout counter was long. I could see the 44 and impatience on the faces of the people around me. It was no better in the parking lot and I found myself in the middle of a 45 line of cars waiting to pull out on the highway.
As my car was moving forward 46, there was a young, thin woman with black skin and a 47 coat. She was holding up a cardboard sign that 48: “Homeless. Please Help!” I watched as car after car drove past and the drivers turned a 49 eye to her. As I came 50, a voice of the angel in my heart whispered in my ear and I quickly took up my wallet and pulled out the little 51 I had left. I stopped next to her, rolled down my window, and 52 put it in her hand. She looked at me with a small, sad smile and 53 “Thank You” before the honking（鸣笛）of the car behind me 54 me to drive on.
I drove away praying for her and 55 that the little money would help her even a little. Did my
small act of kindness make a 56 to her? I don’t know. Did it change the 57 of the driver behind me? Probably not. Was it 58 in the eyes of the angel in my heart? Definitely So! In this life we all want to make 59 changes, but sometimes a small act of 60 is all it needs.

Everyone has to make choices in his life. I made one who I will never regret. When I entered senior high school, I wanted to join in the school basketball team. So my parents didn’t agree, say it would get in the way of my studies. So I tried to persuade him and promise I’d make a balance between them. Finally they agreed. Late, I did what I had promised.

Dear friends,
In recent years, many of us spend a lot of time on the Internet with its popularity. As a result, we don’t write as well as we did in the past. In order to protect our Chinese characters and improve our handwriting, we’d like to offer some suggestions as follows.
To begin with, we are supposed to spend less time online so that we can have more time to read books. What’s more, we’d better form the habit of keeping diaries every day to practice handwriting. Last but not least, it is better to write letters to our relatives and friends by hand rather than send e-mails. Beautiful and neat handwriting is of great benefit to us students. Therefore, it’s time for us to pay more attention to our handwriting from today on.
Let’s take action now!
