I've handled chopsticks skillfully for decades. While it used to amuse me, it mildly annoys me now that Chinese react with astonishment to see a foreigner handle them — as if someone from a country that put a man on the moon would somehow be incapable of handling two simple sticks. As you can see, China's influence stretched far and wide long before opening-up in the late 1970s or today's Belt and Road Initiative. So the idea that most foreigners cannot use chopsticks is, simply put, fiddlesticks.
My first exposure to chopsticks came way back in the 1960s via the elementary piano tune known as Chopsticks, which aroused my curiosity as to what the word meant. Not long afterward, my parents introduced me to Chinese food at King Fong Cafe in Omaha, Nebraska, which, I only learned recently, was among the landmarks of the heartland city's once-thriving Chinatown in the early 1900s.
In fact, I have undergone special kuaizi training (improving skills, for example, by constantly picking up peanuts when I lived with my Chinese tai chi master) and experimentation (exploring the use of chopsticks to snap up popcorn and donuts； I'm working on ice cream).
But there's one western food for which chopsticks are truly a godsend： salads. After moving to China in 2014, I bought a salad at a convenience store, and the clerk handed me kuaizi. I refused at first, but then thought, “All right“ and gave it a try.
Amazingly useful! I could pick and choose each small piece much more carefully, without having to move awkwardly trying to spear the crispy carrot or cherry tomato and then move it mouth ward.
Another clear advantage of these simplest of tools is that they regulate the pace and volume of eating. It's much harder to “pig out“ by shoveling food with chopsticks than with a fork and spoon.
However, in the spirit of globalization, let's not overlook the finer points of knife and fork. In fact, a handy thing about the fork is that everyone can basically use it with each hand. I dare to say that, for Chinese and foreigners alike, switching hands while using chopsticks is not so readily done with confidence.
24. What makes the writer feel unhappy about using chopsticks?
A. People's finding it amusing.
B. Not being able to handle them easily.
C. Feeling as if he/she was on the moon.
D. Chinese strange look on seeing him/her using them.
25. What does the underlined word “fiddlesticks“ in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. A norm. B. A nonsense.
C. A joke. D. A shame.
26. What can we learn from the writer's using chopsticks?
A. He/She first learnt to use them when listening to a piano tune.
B. He/She can use chopsticks to eat ice cream skillfully.
C. Chopsticks prove useful in eating any western food.
D. Using chopsticks limits one's intake of food.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Use Chopsticks
B. Chopsticks VS Knife and Fork
C. My Experience with Chopsticks
D. The Globalization of Chopsticks
C
The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.
UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.
The report shows that 74 percent of millennials （千禧一代）get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.
Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in the US, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.
“There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents5 homes because it's becoming part of the culture.
28. What can we learn about Caitlin Hipp?
A. She is 28 years old.
B. She is fully-engaged in two jobs.
C. She can hardly afford a place to live.
D. She prefers living with her parents.
29. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?
A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.
B. Millennials are financially independent after college.
C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.
D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.
30. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?
A. It boosts the consumption of household products.
B. It may continue despite job growth.
C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.
D. It is new in American culture.
31. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?
A. To introduce millennials' living habits.
B. To stress the importance of financial independence.
C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.
D. To inform people of a social trend in the US.
D
3D technology has now hit its third era of mainstream popularity. But unlike the 3D technology in the 1950s or the 1980s, the current 3D market doesn't seem to be about to crash.
The next market for 3D movies appears to be the home market. While some home video releases have included anaglyph （立体）glasses, consumers have only recently had the chance to buy true 3D-capable televisions. 3D-ready televisions offer a 3D mode that works with a pair of battery-powered LCD shutter lenses. These glasses differ from polarized lenses（偏光镜片）as they contain liquid crystal displays that are synchronized（同步）with the video display to let light pass through at specific intervals. Shutter lenses have to be kept synchronized with the display either through a cable or wireless signal.
Despite recent advances in technology, 3D remains an imperfect and relatively expensive technology. People who like watching TV often blame the fact that 3D versions of films aren't as sharp or rich in color as their 2D versions. Polarized glasses also reduce peripheral vision（周边视觉）and leave viewers focused on the center of the screen. Newer 3D technologies will hopefully overcome these shortcomings.
Besides modest improvements, 3D producers are also working to break through the next significant barrier in 3D display. A number of auto stereoscopic （自 动立体的） displays are currently being designed. Like stereoscopic screens, auto stereoscopic screens display two images that are merged into one to cause a 3D effect. However, auto stereoscopic screens get rid of the need for glasses entirely. Using lenticular （透镜的） screens, auto stereoscopic displays produce a changeable image depending on the angle at which a person views the screen.
To date, this technology is only being employed for smaller devices like cellphones. Currently, the auto
stereoscopic effect is difficult to achieve on larger screens because it requires the viewer to view the screen from a direct and constant angle. But at the current rate of advancing technology it shouldn't be too long before viewers are able to sit down at home or in a theater and enjoy a true 3D experience without the need for glasses.
32. What do we know about the liquid crystal displays?
A. They let the light from the screens through at any time.
B. They function when the video display is working.
C. They are built into the polarized lenses.
D. They can reduce peripheral vision on the screen.
33. What shortcoming do recent 3D versions of films have?
A. They are not available in the market now.
B. They are watched through polarized glasses.
C. Their images aren't clear and colorful.
D. Viewers have to centre on the screen.
34. Unlike stereoscopic screens, what features do auto stereoscopic screens have?
A. They make viewers focus on the screen centre.
B. They display two images merged into one.
C. They can be viewed without glasses.
D. They need to be viewed from different angles.
35. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards 3D technology?
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.

Polar Vortexes
If you're a resident of the United States, chances are good that you might be familiar with polar vortexes （涡旋）.In the past year, the country has faced several outbreaks of extremely cold temperatures! 36 Well, why is this happening? A polar
vortex is a large whirlwind （旋风）of cold air that parks itself in the North or South Pole. If it breaks, cold weather conditions can be observed in more southern or northern areas.
The polar vortex is always present near the poles and corresponds to the cold temperatures that we typically associate with these regions. 37 During the winter season, it becomes less stable and expands, resulting in the movement of this mass of cold air southwards over the United States, carried along with a jet stream.
Now you can probably guess how dangerous these vortexes are. Regions like Chicago and Florida saw temperatures that were much lower than the average for these areas. As a result, almost 21 people lost their lives. 38
It seems that climate change plays a role in almost every catastrophe these days. Whether it is the melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, or even big wildfires around the globe, climate change has a hand in them all.
39 Some scientists think so! A senior scientist at Woods Hole Research Center argues that the melting sea ice in the Arctic regions is somehow linked to changes in the polar vortex.
40 They claim that the earth's atmosphere is an incredibly complicated system, so there is no rock-solid proof if these polar vortex occurrences and atmospheric breakdowns are increasing or not. Basically, we require a lot more research before we can blame climate change for this phenomenon.
A. However, some experts hold different opinions about that.
B. Well, is the polar vortex also one of climate change's symptoms?
C. Will the polar vortex make an appearance in what's left of winter?
D. This mass of cold air weakens in summer and strengthens in winter.
E. In Chicago, the temperatures dropped to minus 43 degrees centigrade.
F. Besides, hundreds of people were injured due to the abnormally cold weather.
G. Compared with the northern vortex, the southern vortex is larger and stronger.

She doesn't know it but the blanket is part of what was keeping her trapped in a state of sickness. We, as 50, know a lot of things that are keeping us from our true
purpose, or even, true happiness. But we won't let them 51 We have friends, habits, and guilty pleasures that keep us trapped in a state of sickness, disappointment, suffering or 52 We'd rather keep them 53 because they are familiar.

You may have heard the old saying, “The more, the merrier. It's usually true, but not for travel. When it comes to travel, I say, “The more, the 56 (messy).”
I first figured this out a few years ago. I bought the cheapest airline ticket that could not easily 57 (find) ： the Philippines. It turned out great! Once, I missed the last bus back to town. No problem! Because I was alone, I was able to ride 58 some Swiss tourists who only had one extra seat in their truck. 59 (travel) alone, I was never really alone at all. It was easier 60 (meet) people. I talked to everyone I met.
I'm not alone in my 61 (prefer) for solo(自的)travel. According to the Daily Mail, there has been 62 143% increase in “solo travel“ internet searches over the past three years, 63 makes it one of the fastest growing parts of the travel industry. To me, it's 64 (obvious) more convenient to plan and just pack my bag and go straight to my dream place.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短 文。
From the first day he entered my classroom, Willard P. Frank existed in his own world, shutting out his classmates and me. My attempts at building a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I could see that his classmates fared no better. Willard was strictly a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence.
Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the annual Christmas
collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district. "Christmas is a season of giving,“ I told my students. There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We will start the collection tomorrow.
When I called for the contributions the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Willard P. Frank. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two quarters into the small container. "I don't need milk for lunch, he mumbled. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk.
That night, after school, I took our few contributions to the school principal. I couldn't help sharing the incident that had taken place. "I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him, ”I told the principal. "Yes." he nodded. "And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it." As I gazed down to read, I discovered Willard P. Frank and his family were the top names on the list. Seeing this, I decided to do something for him.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答案卡的相应位置作答。
On that Sunday, I paid a visit to Willard's family. .
