Curb, formerly Taxi Magic, is currently available in around 60 cities across the United States as well as select cities in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico.

Turkey has warned its citizens living in or traveling to the United States to avoid “social tensions” in major American cities, such as angry protests（抗议） against Donald Trump’s presidential election victory.
The Ankara government on Saturday also advised caution for any visitors who might encounter “racists” outbursts, which many Americans see as the actions of extremists possibly caused by Trump’s critical comments of immigrants.
Turkey did not specifically cite post-election political turmoil (混乱) in the United States in
connection with either of its warnings.
A Turkish Foreign Ministry statement urged Turks “to be alert due to the risks linked to current events and social tensions.”
Turkey, which itself has been the subject of frequent travel warnings by western government in recent months, also noted “the increase, over the last few days, of verbal and physical aggression of a xenophobic (厌恶外国人的) or racist nature across the U.S. ”
Turkish tourists and those who live in the U.S. were told to watch for possible future announcement on the website of the Turkish Embassy in Washington.
The Ankara government regularly condemns (谴责) violence or threats of violence against Muslims in the United States and Europe, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sounded a warning Saturday about prejudice, which he said “is spreading like the plague in some European countries.”
24. What did the Turkey advise its citizens to do?
A. To leave America immediately.
B. To keep away from the anti-Trump protests.
C. To join the political turmoil.
D. To stop traveling to the United States.
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Trump criticized immigrants severely.
B. The Ankara government welcomes Trump’s victory.
C. Turkey broadcast a lot of post-election political turmoil in the United States.
D. European countries show friendliness to Turkey.
26. What’s the Turkish Foreign Ministry’s attitude towards Trump’s victory?
A. Courageous. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Pessimistic.
27. Where would this passage most probably appear?
A. A text book. B. A newspaper. C. A travel guide. D. A TV ad.
C
Children who read for pleasure at the age of 10 have far higher vocabulary scores by the age of 42.
Researchers at the Institute of Education (IOE) have found that the most crazy childhood readers score far higher on vocabulary tests 30 years later. The new study suggests that children who read for pleasure carry the intellectual (智力的) benefits with them far into adulthood.
“The long-term influence of reading for pleasure on vocabulary that we have identified may be because the frequent childhood readers continued to read throughout their twenties and thirties,” says lead author Professor Alice Sullivan at the IOE. Researchers followed 9,400 British people from the age of 10 up to 42．Their vocabulary was tested using a simple quiz which asked participants to match up words to the most similar meaning.
Those who had regularly read for pleasure at 10 scored 67 percent in the age 42 vocabulary test, while infrequent childhood readers scored only 51 percent.
The IOE study also found that what people chose to read as adults mattered as much as how often they read. The greatest improvements between ages 16 and 42 were made by readers of “elegant” fictions such as Booker Prize winning novels. And they found that readers of quality newspapers, including online versions, made more progress in vocabulary throughout their lives than those who read tabloids.
In addition, generally speaking, the adult readers who especially read broadsheets(宽幅印刷品) scored 76 percent on the assessment compared to 57 percent amongst those who didn’t.
28. Why did frequent childhood readers have higher vocabulary scores?
A. Because they are born intelligent.
B. Because they formed the consistent reading habit.
C. Because they were crazy about pleasure.
D. Because they had a comfortable childhood.
29. What may not affect the adult readers’vocabulary scores?
A. The contents of reading. B. The designs of the page.
C. Versions online or not. D. The frequency of reading.
30. What does the underlined word “tabloids” mean in the text?
A. Newspapers of low quality. B. Newspapers of high quality.
C. Elegant fictions. D. Large vocabulary.
31. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Intelligence has a great influence on vocabulary.
B. Reading materials matter much for children.
C. Broadsheet newspapers are best for boosting vocabulary.
D. Children who read for pleasure have larger vocabulary as adults.
D
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
—Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation). I couldn’t help but be
reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly,” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold (十倍地). She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.
32. What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?
A. Funny. B. True. C. Strange. D. Confusing.
33. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?
A. He praises his students one by one. B. He is Syona’s favorite teacher.
C. He use videos to teach his students. D. He asks his students to help each other.
34. Syona felt very pleased because ________.
A. she has developed a cool attitude B. her progress was appreciated by her parents
C. her mother knew what she expressed D. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate
35. What change has taken place in the author’s family?
A. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home.
B. They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularly.
C. They feel grateful to people in their lives
D. They give each other praise every day.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?
36. . But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow.

第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Each year 61 (thousand) of tourists visit the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctica. These trips provide unique experiences for people to experience nature in remote areas. But the increasing number of people travelling to the ends of the Earth can have 62 negative effect on the fragile ecosystems. Should tourists 63 (allow) to visit polar regions?
About 40,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year. More than five million travel to the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Transporting tourists to the region increases ship 64 airplanes traffic, and adds to the risk of pollution, oil spills, and other environmental damage. Because the places where wildlife is accessible 65 (be) few in number, tourists traffic can become 66 (extreme) heavy in specific areas, putting Arctic vegetation (植被) at risk. Recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and 67 (ski) can also cause disturbances to animal colonies.
Others say that access 68 these very special parts of the world should not be restricted to only researchers and scientists. Polar tourism allows people to develop deep 69 (person) connections with polar regions. “Those 70 travel to the Arctic or Antarctica often become cheerleaders for supporting those places.” Jim Sano, vice president for travel and conservation at World Wildlife Fund, told TFK.

As is shown in the picture, a woman is sitting in front of a computer and trying to make friends on the net. Just outside the door, many people are watching, eager to make friends with her. However, they are all ignored.
The picture reminds me of many young people who are addicted to the virtual world. I believe that if the situation continues, sooner or later they will be cut off from the real world. Although the virtual world can be exciting, there is no reason to devote too much time and energy to it. In other words, the real world that we live in is what really counts.
As for me, I’ll devote myself to more meaningful things in real life, from making friends to studying. Only in this way can I make my life full and valuable. (117 words)
