A
Lost cities that have been found
The White City
In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of "the Lost City of the Monke God" led to
the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central
American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is
believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in
the 16th century.
Canopus and Heracleion
Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and
Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren’t found until 1992, when a
search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前
器 物 )showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers
piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.
Machu Picchu
A Yale professor discovered "the Last City in the Clouds" in 1911. A combination of palaces,
plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its vile. The city,
which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from
the Spanish conquerors for centuries, keeping it so well preserved.
Troy
The ancient city of Troy in Homers The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his
characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities
layered(层叠)on top of each other, the earliest dating hack to about 5,000 years before. It was later
determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually
destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden home.
21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?
A. To survive the war. B. To search for a lost city.
C. To protect their country. D. To avoid dangerous animals.
22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?
A. The White City B. Canopus and Heracleion C. Machu Picchu D. Tray
23. What can we learn about Troy?
A. It was built by homer. B. It consisted of nine cities.
C. It had a history of 5,000 years. D. It was mined by a natural disaster.
B
During Amsterdam，chaotic rash hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction.
"Look," she says, "there s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions.
For a child on a hike, that’s really confusing!”
Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You
would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world.
The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 800,000-more than the city s 750,000
inhabitants. According to an estimate made 5years ago, 490,000 bicyclists take to streets daily.
But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges. Lotta says, "The three biggest problems
for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters( 小 型 摩 托 ). The cars take up too much space, the
tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply
run you over."
Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school
children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add
children’s hikes to the popular hike share programme.
Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening
cycling contests in the city and being a jury(评审员)member during the Amsterdam Light Parude, an
event in which Amsterdammers decorate their hikes with lights.
She is now planning a meeting with the city, mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up
with: "One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now,
most of us learn it in the street, which can he quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists
to teach them the piles of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”
Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now
planning to appoint junior colleagues. "They see it works really well," Boerma, the senior major,
says. "I talk to the parents. Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of
a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that, good for an eight-year-old is also
good for an 88-year-old.”
24. Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 2?
A. Important. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Valuable.
25. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?
A. To teach children how to ride.
B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.
C. To give suggestions to the city s mayor on how to nm the city.
D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.
26. What has Lotta done since she became the hike mayor?.
A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.
B. She has won a contest about cycling.
C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.
D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.
27. What’s Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
C
To GOOGLE is now in broad usage as a verb for getting information from the Internet. If the
tech giant has its way, "I Googled" will become a standard reply to the question “How did you get
here? On May 28th Ogle said it would build 100 driverless cars. It is the next stage in its apparent
pursuit to he as common on the road as on computer screens.
People have dreamed about driverless monitoring since at least the 1930s, but only in recent
years have carmakers such as Mervedes-Benz and Volvo given the matter more thought, equipping
test cars with the sensors(传感器)and complicated software required to pass through busy roads.
Google has roared ahead by designing a driverless car from the ground up.
But bringing autonomous monitoring to the world is proving harder than Google had imagined.
It once promised it by 2017. Now it does not see production models coming out before 2020. The
technology is far advanced, but needs shrinking in size and cost-Google's current test cars are said to
he packed with $ 80,000-worth of equipment.
Google，latest effort may have as much to do with convincing the public and law-makers as
improving the technology. The firm stresses the safety advantages of computers being more likely
than humans to avoid accidents. The cars will have a top speed of just 25 mph and a front end made
of soft foam(泡沫)to cushion careless pedestrians. The benefits could indeed he huge. Driving time
could he given over to working, sleeping or browsing the web. However, the issue of liability(问
责)in the event of a driverless car crashing has yet to he resolved.
Turning cars into products may not be good news for traditional carmakers. But reinventing
motoring as a service fits neatly with Google’s plans to become as big in hardware, as in software.
And unlike car firms, which talk vaguely of becoming "mobility providers", Google has lots of cash
to make that a reality and no worries about disturbing its current business. Goggle admits it still has
"lots of work to do". But one day Googling to the shops may he a common activity.
28. What’s Google s next goal?
A. To become a tech giant in computer.
B. To beat Mercedes-Benz and Volvo in car making.
C. To cut down the cost of making cars.
D. To get autonomous cars on the road.
29. All the benefits of driverless cars are mentioned EXCEPT .
A. they can protect careless passers-by from being severely injured
B. there s no problem with liability in case of a crash
C. driven; can be otherwise engaged on the mad
D. more accidents can he avoided with computers controlling the car
30. What might he the best title of the passage?
A. Google: the Tech Giant B. Carmakers C. Car Trade D. Google’s Driverless Cars

For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to
explain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now
scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why teaching is such a
fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the
material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on
tests than pupils whore learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning
themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that
firstborn children are more intelligent than their later-horn siblings(兄弟姊妹). This suggests their
higher IQS result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are Experimenting
with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach
computer science to high school students who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"-a computerized
character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer
scientists have created an animated(动画的)figure called Betty s Brain, who has been "taught" about
environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help
Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve
their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their
own thinking.
Feedback front the teachable agents further enhances the tutors learning. The agents questions
force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve
problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that promote learning. Student tutors
feel upset when their teachable agents fail, hilt happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they find
pride and satisfaction from someone else s accomplishment.
31. What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
A. Seneca s thinking is still applicable today. B. Better learners will become better teachers.
C. Human intelligence tends to grow with age. D. Philosophical thinking improves instruction.
32. What do we learn about Betty s Brain?
A. It is a character in a popular animation. B. It is a teaching tool under development.
C. It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D. It is a tutor for computer science students.
33. How does teaching others benefit student tutors?
A. It makes them aware of what they are strong at.
B. It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.
C. It helps them learn their academic subjects better.
D. It enables them to better understand their teachers.
34. What do students do to teach their teachable agents?
A. They motivate them to think independently.
B. They ask them to design their own questions.
C. They encourage them to give prompt feedback.
D. They use various ways to explain the materials.
35. What is the key factor that eases student tutors learning?
A. Their sense of responsibility. B. Their emotional involvement.
C. The learning strategy acquired. D. The teaching experience gained.

Multitasking-doing several things at a time-was once applauded as the best way to work. But
does it actually help you get things done, or does it make you less effective?
36 If you can actually do two or more things at one time, that clearly saves time. 37
And it can fill time that would otherwise he spent poorly.
However, a growing body of research shows that multitasking is not as productive as it appears.
It turns out that when most people multitask, they don’t actually focus on more than one thing at a
time. 38 But changing your focus constantly uses mental energy that could he spent working.
It also causes you to take longer and make more mistakes. In addition, it creates stress. People who
try to multitask often end up feeling more anxious and less peaceful than people who don’t.
39 A very small group of people-about two percent of the population-excel at
multitasking. These people, called supertaskers, are able to work on several things at once without
their performance suffering. But experts caution: supertaskers are very rare. The majority of people
who think multitasking makes them more productive are fooling themselves.
If you do want to multitask，productivity experts recommend doing it carefully. 40
A. There are some exceptions to the no-multitasking vile.
B. Instead they switch back and forth between concentrating on two or more tasks.
C. Doing things one at a time usually helps people produce better work.
D. To some people, the advantages of multitasking seem obvious.
E. Multitasking actually works against the goal of getting things done.
F. It might also make you feel productive，which can in turn make you happy.
G. Pair a mentally challenging task with a physical task you don’t have to think about.

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he
would he flying to France to 41 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的)period in Daniel s life.
I wanted to 42 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was

let such moments 49 ? I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 50 to me or
what he might 51 to face in the years that followed. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to
say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks
of him? 52 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each
other. Yet I always 53 never hearing him put his 54 into words. Now I could feel my
palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 55 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would he able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,”
I said, "if I could have picked one, I would have picked you. "That’s all I could say. He hugged me.
For a moment, the world 56 , and there, were just Daniel and me. He was saying something,
but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t make out what he was saying. All I was 57 of was the
stubble(胡子茬)on his chin as his face pressed 58 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 59 .It
was nothing. And yet, it was 60 .
