Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature.
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than 20 books
published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black
culture in America.
Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality (种族不平等) and drug use
in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill
was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language
of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side
of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It
was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945.Critics praised her
poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The
Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for
Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is
a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She
experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed
her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” received
A.Scenic World
C.Featherdale Wildlife Park
B.Royal National Park
D.The Hawkesbury River5
little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics.
Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.
In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by
who they are. One example is this poem, “Corners on the Curving Sky”.
By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks’s poetry expanded from the everyday experiences
of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.

Although onions taste delicious, watering eyes come with the process when you cut them up.
Thankfully, Good Housekeeping has suggested some tips to prevent yourself from crying while
trying to cut up an onion．
According to the findings from the Institute, putting onions in a fridge 30 minutes before
cutting can prevent the annoying hurt, as the cold stops tear-jerking ( 催 泪 的 ) gas from being
produced. 6
Another way to reduce the gas released by the onion is to put it in water for a while. Good
Housekeeping recommends:“ Cut the end off the onion and then put it straight into a bowl of water.
The water will draw out the acid making you tear up less when you cut it.”
When an onion grows, it mixes with sulfur (硫) in the soil to create a special mineral acid.
When the onion is cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas. As it reaches your face, this annoying
gas causes the eyes to produce tears．
The root is where the gases are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the
onion be left on as you cut it to avoid uncomfortable eyes. Do this by cutting the vegetable in half
down the middle to create a flat surface. Then, place the onion with its flat surface down and cut it
towards the root．
Also, to reduce the gas’s effect on your eyes, cut it next to a window or near a fan so the gas is
blown away from your face. And take care to use a sharp knife; this will make it easier to move
through the vegetable, causing fewer cells to be broken and less gas to be released as a result．
28. Refrigerating the onion before cutting can ．
A.change its taste
C.avoid the appearing of the gas
B.make it easier to cut up
D.help the gases mix more quickly
29. From the fourth paragraph, what happens when the onion is cut up？
A.Some acid mineral is lost．
B.The tear mixture is created．
C.The sulfur inside it pours out．
D.A chemical reaction produces a gas．
30. Where is this passage most probably taken from？
A.Health Column．
C.Fashion Magazine．
B.Science Journal.
D.Food Guidebook．
31. The main purpose of the text is to ．
A.advise and explain
C.argue and discuss
B.examine and analyze(分析)
D.present and compare

Emoji ( 表 情 符 号 ) might not be your first choice of communication in a disaster, but
researchers feel they could make a difference during emergencies, where every second counts. Now, 7
the Emoji-quake campaign( 运动) is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode
set — the standard group of icons available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to
find an earthquake-appropriate design to be added to Unicode.
“Approximately up to one third of the world’s population are exposed to earthquakes,”
explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the
campaign. “So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those
different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that.”
Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible
signs are available, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are
still occurring. Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early
warning technology, which issues an alert (警告) on digital devices and broadcast media. “You may
have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself,” explains Dr. Hicks. “That can be life
saving in many cases. Naturally you don’t want too much wording in the warning message.”
Pictographs (象形文字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and
easier to understand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who
is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, “Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages,
helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language.”
The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A
team of designers also came up with emoji — an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and
environmental events.
32. The campaign wants to add earthquakes emoji to Unicode because .
A. earthquake threaten many people in different regions
B. earthquakes are the easiest to be expressed by an emoji
C. earthquakes are not difficult to measure while occurring
D. earthquakes are the most destructive disasters in the world
33. The underlined phrase “lobby for” in the first paragraph can be replaced by .
A.paying for
C.arguing for
B.entering for
D.caring for
34. What can we infer from Dr. Sara McBride’s words about emoji?
A. Emoji benefits people with reading disability a lot.
B. Emoji is being used to send valuable information.8
C. Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages.
D. Emoji is a universal language and helpful tool in communication.
35. What is the best title of the passage ?
A. Could an Emoji save our life?
B. What can Emoji do in our daily life?
C. How is Emoji changing our life?
D. Do we really know about Emoji?

A memorable science project
If someone tells you to remember a phone number or address, it feels like an easy task at first.
You repeat the numbers to yourself, either aloud or in your mind. But after just a few seconds you
might find yourself starting to doubt your own memory. 36 Thus, it will try to throw away
information that seems old or unrelated. There are ways of helping our minds retain ( 记 住 )
information, however, and in this activity you will explore ways that we lose and keep memories.
Short-term, or working memory, is a way of describing most people’s abilities to store a small
amount of information for a brief period of time in a readily accessible form. 37 People don’t
have to stop and think to remember something in short term memory.
38 Such techniques include visualizing (观察) the information in a surprising way or linking
pieces of information together so that one reminds you of the other. In the case of visualizing
information, this could be as simple as remembering you parked your car on the fifth floor in the D
section by picturing five dogs sitting in your car! 39 If you need to purchase cereal (谷物), milk,
fruit, cheese and eggs, you could imagine the cereal in a bowl, with milk pouring over it and pieces
of fruit on top. Then imagine cracking an egg over everything, and it’s full of melted cheese! These
may seem simple or even silly. 40 In this activity you’ll test the recall of a few friends or family
members, and learn a few tricks for improving memory!
A. There are many techniques for improving memory.
B. Our brain is always seeking new and useful information.
C. Short-term memory has a short duration but is quickly and easily accessed.
D. In addition, linking information could help you remember your grocery list.9
E. Retaining that information over longer periods of time becomes difficult yet.
F. Your short-term memory has a limited amount of space to store information.
G. However, they are proved to be good ways for improving memory by scientists.

Hollywood filmmakers, including creators of the 1998 Disney film Mulan, will start a
“discovery trip” to Mulan’s birthplace — Huangpi district in Hubei province this week.
During 61 two-day visit, they will see a number of Mulan-themed performances, such as
horse fighting show and local opera. They also will visit 62 (place) of historical interest, like the
Mulan Mountain and the Generals Temple.
In the 20 years since the Disney film came out, 63 (it) director Tony Bancroft hasn’t been
to the land of Mulan’s roots. “For me, it’s more than a circle tour of 64 my favorite character
was born. I’m also doing my homework for the next film,” he said.
“China used to be closed off to Westerners, 65 (create) a mystery. But in the last few
years, U.S. films 66 (explore) the Chinese culture and environment, which has opened 11
audiences to a whole new world. I believe the tale of Mulan appeals to Westerners mainly because
it’s about a daughter’s respect 67 her family, 68 (especial) her father.” Bancroft added.
A live-action remake of the 1998 film 69 (expect) to hit theaters in 2020. The Walt Disney
Studios has announced that Chinese actress Liu Yifei, also 70 (know) as Crystal Liu, is going to
star in the classic Chinese tale.

Recently, as the development of the Internet, there is a kind of language calling the Web
Language. The other day our class have a discussion about whether we should welcome the Web
Language. Forty percent of the students think it ridiculous. In their opinions, it does no good to
helping people communicating with each other, nor is it useful for learning English. Beside, it’ll
make Chinese less standard, finally ruining our mother tongue. However, 60% of our class are fond
of it. They think it simple, convenient and helpful in expressing them. Personally, I think it’s not
good habit to use the Web Language. It may be popular, and you may also make yourself be

Dear Mike,
Thanks for your last letter! As you mentioned previously in the letter that you plan to visit China
soon, I’m more than thrilled to recommend my hometown Chongqing Municipality to you for your
reference.
Chongqing, situated in the southwestern part of China, is considered one of the most tourist-friendly
destinations by many. To start with, nestling against various mountains and overlooking two water
systems, JiaLing River and Yangtse River, the perfect geographic location offers Chongqing a
diverse ecological landscape. Therefore, whether it is the mysterious valley filled with amazing
wildlife or the exhilarating water activities, all can guarantee tourists a pleasant stay here. Moreover,
the unique local traditions and customs are another reason that attracts millions of tourists swarming
into Chongqing every year. The natives are so enthusiastic and welcoming that one can always
receive warm assistance if in need. On top of that, with the advanced dimensional transportation
system spreading across the city, visitors can travel to every corner of the city in a fast and
convenient way. All these factors enable Chongqing to be crowned as the “Best Tourist City of the
Year”.
Despite what are mentioned above, Chongqing is most renowned for its local delicacies. The wide
selection of food including the spicy hotpot, the refreshing local noodles and the numerous amazing
street snacks has been satisfying the desire of millions from across the nation.
Hereby, I sincerely invite you to come to tour around Chongqing, my dear friend. I’m confident that
your visit here will be proven to be a unforgettable and exciting experience.
Yours Kindly,
Li Hua
