Los Stocker’s life was changed in 1976, when he tripped over an injured, hedgehog(刺猬 )near
his home. Unable to get 36 from a local vet, who offered to put it to sleep, Stocker took the
little animal home and 37 it himself. It was the beginning of a 40-year 38 that would
transform Stocker's ordinary life as an accountant.
Although he lacked formal veterinary training, Stocker 39 wildlife medical care at a time
when 40 veterinary medicine focused on treating domesticated animals(家禽)and pets. "An

were 50 to operate and prescribe drugs, but Stocker learned how to provided 51
treatment. For baby hedgehogs, he 52 a plastic cap into an anesthesia(麻醉)mask.
By 1983, Stocker was devoted to wildlife 53 , establishing, the charitable Wildlife

B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Three men have had a big influence on modern sound and communication technologies. We
started with the beginnings of computer-generated music.
Max Vernon Mathews
Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools
so that people could use computers, as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the
development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played. In 1957, Max wrote the
first computer program. Music, to enable a computer to create sound and play it back. The computer
was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For
that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a
normal speed.
Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how
computers could help musicians outside recording studios. The Groove program he developed was
the first computer program made for live performances.
Norio Ohga
Sony Corporation official Norio Ohga helped to develop, the compact disc in the late 1970s.
He pushed for CDs to be larger, and with a longer playing time. He wanted them to hold
seventy-five minutes so that they could store all of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on one disc. This
way, listeners could enjoy the musical work without any break. The compact disc changed the
electronics industry and the way people listened to music.
Hubert Joseph Schlafy
Hubert Joseph Schlafly was an electrical engineer who helped change the way actors,
politicians and other people speak on television. In 1950, he and two other men developed the teleprompter. One co-worker, Fred Barton, was an actor. He had an idea for a tool that would help
television actors read their lines without having to memorize them. The first teleprompter involved a
person who turned a long piece of paper printed with tall letters, As the actor read the lines, another
person would, move the paper ahead on the device. Later versions used television screens to show
the words that were to be read.
56. Why did Mathews give up using computers to create sound and play it back?
A. Because he wanted to use computers as musical instruments.
11. Because he couldn't create sound on computers.
C. Because he wanted to enjoy musical work without any break.
D. Because he wanted to find better ways to create sound with modern technologies.
57. What's the meaning of the underlined word teleprompter?
A.投影仪 B.电子提词机 C.屏蔽仪 D.显示屏
5S. From the writing, we can learn that .
A. Mathews' first computer program could play the music at a normal speed
B. the Groove program was the first computer program made for live performances by Hubert
Joseph Schlafly.
C. owing to Norio Ohga, people can enjoy all of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on one disc.
D. only Hubert Joseph Schlafly and Fred Barton worked together to develop the prompter.
B
Fashions have a lot of rules. Most of there, however, arc just wrong. But there's one rule that
goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are
slimming. It all conies down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each
square arc the same in size, yet he white hole looks bigger than the black hole.
In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with
the naked eye( 肉 眼 ) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of
Venus(金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter(木星)in the night sky. He knew something strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasn't sure what it was.
Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2014, they figured it out.
Our visual system operates via two main channels: "on" neurons(神经元)that are sensitive to
light things and “off” neurons that arc sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off”
neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background
一 the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light "on”
neurons behaved unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark
background caused a greater response in these neurons.
This makes sonic sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, you'd want to he able to
take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarges light objects on a dark
background could be very useful. However, it's not that hard to see dark objects in the light of day. It
has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets 一 the brighter
appearance of Venus in the night sky makes it look bigger than the darker Jupiter.
59. What did Galileo Galilei believe according to Paragraph 2?
A. The neurons led to the difference.
B. There was something wrong with his telescope.
C. The difference was caused by his visual illusion.
D. Things were bigger when seen through telescopes.
60. What do we know about the "off" neurons?
A. They are sensitive to light objects.
B. Their behavior can’t be predicted.
C. They behave differently from person to person.
D. Their activeness improves with the contrast of colors.
61. What does the author think of the phenomenon?
A. It makes people feel puzzled. B. It brings great harm to people.
C. It is more common among youths. D. It is beneficial to people's evolution.
62. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why we look thinner when in black. B. What visual illusions bring to people.
C. How we arc affected by the fashion rules. D. Whether people's visual system is different.
CChina has completed its home-grown BeiDou Navigation(导航)Satellite System (BDS) with the
successful launch of two more BDS-3 satellites, 19 in all, and has started providing services to
countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)since the end of 2018. The BDS, which
will compete against the US' Global Positioning System(GPS), will provide high-precision, reliable
positioning, navigation and timing services anywhere in the world by the end of 2020.
The Belt and Road Initiative is an ambitious effort to improve regional cooperation and
connectivity in a trans-continental range. The initiative aims to strengthen infrastructure(基础设施),
trade, and investment links between China and some 65 other countries. It is also expected to
increase Beijing's influence in these countries.
"This is a key step for the DDS developing from a Chinese home system to a regional and then
a global navigation system said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. China plans
to launch another 11 BDS-3 satellites between the end of 2018 and 2020. China developed the BDS
through a unique technological approach, contributing Chinese wisdom to the theory and
construction of international satellite navigation systems.
Altogether 18 BDS satellites have been sent into space in 2018, making this year the most
intensive launch of the BDS satellites. They improved their work efficiency by reforming the
management process. The number of satellite staff at the launch center has been reduced by nearly
half, and the testing time before launch has been shortened by nearly a third. In the CAST
production base in Beijing, several BDS satellites are being manufactured at the same time. They try
to improve intelligent manufacturing capability, and cut down production times. Construction of the
BDS-3 system has accelerated.
Once the BDS is fully completed, it will be the fourth global satellite navigation system after
the US CPS system, Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo. India too, is building its
navigational system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with an
operational name of NAVIC.
63. When can the BDS offer global services?
A. In 2018. B. In 2019. C. In 2020. D. In 2025.
64. What can the BDS do now?
A. Take the place of the CPS of the USA. B. Serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
C. Control the Belt and Road countries. D. Watch anyone anywhere in the world.65. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. the unique characters of the BUS.
C. The efforts of the staff of the BDS.
B. The Chinese technology of the BUS.
D. The difficulties the BDS has to deal with.
66. What can be the best title for the text?
A. China's BDS is approaching its goal step by step.
B. China's BDS has become the fourth global satellite navigation system.
C. China's BDS helps BRI increase Beijing's international influence.
D. The unique technological approach makes China's BUS outstanding.

Children who use screens for seven hours or more a day arc showing signs that their brain
cortex(大脑皮层)is thinning prematurely(过早地), according to a new major US study.
The ongoing $300 million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and shows
results of the effects of technology on children. The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain
Cognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional development and mental
health. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours of daily screen
time score lower on thinking and language tests.
Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4, 500 children.
The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural(神经中枢的)tissue that processes information
from the physical world. It is critical for cognitive functions such ” perception( 直 觉 ), language,
memory and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.
Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smart
devices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.
Dr Gaya Dowling, an NIH doctor working on the project, cautioned against drawing a
conclusion because they aren’t completely sure it's being caused by the increased use of modern
technology. They won’t be able to draw a definitive outcome until they follow them over the course
of several years.
Dr Dowling said: "It won't be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are
outcomes that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot.”A 2014 study showed that there is a direct correlation between the thickness of the brain cortex
and IQ score. The cortex begins to thin after the age of five or six as part of the normal aging
process.
The findings showed that people with a significant increase in IQ did not have the expected
cortical thinning and people with a significant decrease in IQ had exaggerated(夸张)cortical(皮质
的)thinning.
A major data release of the initial data is scheduled for early 2019.
67. What belongs to the findings of the new major US study?
A. Screen time can result in a smaller brain.
B. The brain cortex gets thinner as we mature into old age.
C. Too much exposure to screen can lead to a poorer health.
D. Children who are interested in computer arc academically poor.
68. Why is Dr Gaya Dowling against drawing a conclusion?
A. There arc some doubts about their findings.
B. He thinks that further study is needed.
C. The number of the participants is not large enough.
D. They should ask for the government's permission.
69. What is the finding of the 2014 study?
A. The brain cortex has much to do with IQ score.
B. The b rain cortex's thickness is determined by IQ.
C. Different people have different cortical thinning.
D. Aging is a natural process for creatures.
70. What will probably happen when a person reaches the age of five or six?
A. His IQ score will get higher and higher.
B. He will be more addicted to modern technology.
C. He will show more interest in modern technology.
D. His brain cortex will become thinner and thinner.

How to Survive Being Stuck in a LiftBeing stuck in a lift, also known as an elevator, can sometimes be scary, especially if you are a
fan of those kinds of movies which have a lot of elevator tragedies. You may think being stuck in an
elevator in real life is not like in the movies. 71
Remain calm and do not panic! You may have heard of this a lot of times and it is true that
panicking will do you no good. 72
Press each of the floor buttons one by one. Then, try the "doors open" button. If none of the
buttons works, the lift is broken, and you need to let someone know about it
See if your phone has any reception or Internet. 73 If you have WiFi connection, contact
a family member or friend. Don’t forget to tell them what the address is of the building and possibly
which elevator you are stuck in. If your phone is not available, the following tips can help you.
Look through the gap between the doors of the lift. If you can see light between the doors, the
lift has stopped near a floor, and you should be able to shout for help and be released. Do not try to
force the doors open yourself. If you can't see light between the doors, the lift has stopped between
floors, and no one will be able to let you out if you scream for help. Look for an emergency
telephone. If there is no telephone, press the alarm button repeatedly. 74
75 If you have waited for more than half an hour and nobody has come to get you out,
shout and bang the inside walls of the lift. If no one is responding to you, then you'll have to accept
that you will be in the lift overnight. If this happens, make yourself as comfortable as possible to
save your energy. By morning, the building should be full again. You can try to get some help then.
A. It will cause you not to be able to think clearly.
B. Check the time.
C. Eventually, someone should hear you and get help.
D. Here are some tips to help you survive.
E. However, it is still a vital thing to know how to survive if it ever happens to you.
F. Use your snatch.
G. If you do have reception, call emergency services.
