Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill
for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to
catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted
herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the
view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot
I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just
one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from
doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the
photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the
image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes
because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it,
now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured
(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space,
in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she
lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for
something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken
conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
24. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A. Her camera stopped working. B. A friend approached from behind.
C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A woman blocked her view.
25. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?
A. The woman’s existence in the photo. B. The perfect positioning of the camera.
C. The rich color of the landscape. D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
26. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.
A. the need to be close to nature B. the shared passion for beauty
C. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the importance of private space
27. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.
A. the art of photography B. the pleasure of traveling
C. a particular life experience D. a lost friendship
C
Parents will do anything for their children. Whether it would
be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always
make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the
biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their
children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to
education for their young ones. Choices include private school,
charter school, public school or home schooling.
Fortunately for parents ， there are a variety of different
strategies that they can take in order to increase their child’s
overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD,
professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a
child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.
Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded
that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem,
the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an
instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older.
And numerous studies show that a well balanced meal is essential
for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other
researchers recommended that a second language should be
taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to
four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four
would work perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.
The average child will learn how to read between
kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their
children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start
school. Children could have an adequate background of the
alphabet（字母表） and sounds of words before attending school.
This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want.
The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.
28.From the first paragraph, we can infer that .
A. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demands
B. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids
C. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids
D. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’
growth
29.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?
A. To train kids as early as possible.B.To try as many means
as possible.
C. To help kids develop as fully as possible. D. To use
as many available resources as possible.
30.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?
A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.
B. The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.
C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s health.
D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.
31.We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph
with .
A. inspiration B. introduction C. suggestion
D. promotion
D
A growing number of Chinese students are choosing to study in countries and regions involved
in the Belt and Road Initiative, the Ministry of Education said on Friday.
Some 66,100 Chinese students studied in Belt and Road countries in 2018, up 15.7 percent from
2017, with 3,679 sponsored by the Chinese government, according to a statement on the ministry's website. China had signed 45 agreements on educational cooperation with those countries by April
2018. Diplomas issued by Chinese universities and the higher education institutions in 24 of the
countries were mutually recognized as of March last year, according to the ministry.
Belt and Road countries also remained the largest source of international students in China in
2018. International students from the nations increased 11 percent last year to 317,200, about 65
percent of the overall total. Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research
Institute in Beijing, said that due to lower tuition, cultural similarities and increasing trade and
cultural cooperation, there will be growth in the exchange of students between China and Belt and
Road countries.
"China has its own elite institutions that can rival the top-tier universities abroad. That is why
more foreign students are choosing to study in China," Xiong said, adding that the country has
become a major education destination in its own right, particularly for students from within Asia.
Furthermore, given China's economic growth and rising household incomes, more parents will
send their students to study abroad, he said. "Going abroad to study is no longer just for elites."
About 90 percent of students who studied abroad last year had no government financial support,
the ministry said. The percentage has remained about the same since 2012, it said.
The total number studying abroad and the number of returnees from those studies also reached
record levels last year, the ministry said.
Over 600,000 Chinese studied abroad in 2018, up about 11 percent from 2017. Last year,
almost 80 percent of students who finished their studies returned home.
Shi Yan, of the Chivast Education International consultancy in Beijing, said more returnees are
coming home because the domestic job market is more appealing.
32.The exchange students from the Belt and Road Initiative account for________
A. 15.7％ B. 11％ C. 65％ D. 90％
33. According to the passage, the main source of the international students in China is _____.
A. Europe B. America C. Africa D. Asia
34. How does the writer make his writing convincing?
A. Giving examples. B. Listing reasons C. Raising figures. D. Stating opinions.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. More and more students return home.
B. The Belt and Road Initiative improves the educational communication.
C. A growing number of Chinese students are choosing to study abroad .
D. Government financially supports students to study abroad.

When we read a poem. we often imagine what the poets 61 (think) when they wrote or
what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we'd
created the poem 62 (we). Will a poem still mean as much if a compute writes it?
By 63 (use) algorithms (算法) , computers can now create all kinds of text, including research
papers, books, news, stories and even poems. Computer-generated poems might be correct in both
grammar and style, 64 some say they still lack 65 (create) and true meaning.
Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz created a website 66 (call) "bot or not". On his site,
you can read poems and guess whether they 67 (write) by a human or a computer. Schwartz
recently gave a speech at TedX Sydney, in 68 he stated that some of the website's poems were
