出 ）her own family members．Yang， now 14， decided to create an app to help people with
this disease．
Her app is called Timeless． It uses facial recognition technology． Alzheimer's patients
can use the app to look at photos of their friends and family． The app will tell them．who the
person is and how they're related to the patient． If a patient doesn't recognize someone in

Yang got the idea after seeing how facial recognition is used in different areas，especially
healthcare． She worked with a tech company to create the facial recognition software that her
app uses． She learned to code（编码） for the iPhone for the first time in the process．
The app is still in development． Yang is trying to raise money through crowdfunding（众
筹） so she can take the next step﹣﹣ letting patients try a pilot version（实验版本）of the
app． Though some may think that the app is too hard for older people to use ，Yang is
hopeful． "If you introduce it to them the right way， it's actually possible for them to use it

50．（10 分）As an English，I can speak three languages﹣English，German and French，so do you
think the British people are very good language learners？The fact is that they aren't．
Some statistics （数据） from the survey done by the European Commission （欧盟
委员会）showed that
62% of the British people only speak English.38% speak at least one foreign language and
18% speak two or more ． Compared with the British people ， 56% of the people in other
European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more．
From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign
languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe．
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely﹣spoken foreign language．
Many European people can have a conversation in English．That's why my people don't
think it is necessary to learn a foreign language．
In Britain，students are not required to learn a foreign language．That means learning a
foreign language is only an option at school．In UK schools it is common for children to start
learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14．So why don't students
continue learning foreign languages at school？Because they think it is more difficult to get
good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history ． To solve this
situation，the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at
school．One way is to start learning it at a much younger age．Another one is to give school
children more choices．
Changing the British attitude（态度）to learning foreign languages may be a hard task
but the government decides to try!
（1）Which country does the writer come from？
A．America．
B．China．
C．Britain．

best friend quickly.

Everyone knows that he is a genius(天才) of my university.
He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn’t like others to praise him,
because he think what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend
indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life.
I remembered that my maths was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in solving
maths questions. He often received high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach at his level.
Since we talked all day long, he was patient and polite to answer my mathematics questions.
Slowly, I made great progress in mathematics. I passed the examination finally. Then we became
friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.
We know that we live in a society, so we need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends,
good and bad. Bad friends may make our life failed, while good ones make our life successful. To
me, Wang Tao is a very good friend. I learned so many advantages from him, and I changed more

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little
more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less
often. A healthy diet(饮食)is made up of water and a great many different
kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish,
are important as they provide us with energy and fiber(纤维素), without giving us too much fat
and sugar. But why is water important?
The human body needs water to stay alive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste
out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small
amount(数量) we need to stay alive.
Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe
that a great many illnesses and health problems starts as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少)of
water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t
know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first period of
dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma
could be avoided if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help
people who are overweight. Water has no calories(热量) so it will not make us put on weight. If
we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-Cola. Doctors also
believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people
think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat
less food and drink more water.
There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should
not stop going to see the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every
day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.
76.From Paragraph 1, we can learn that .
A. some doctors don’t like apples B. we get energy and fiber from healthy
foods
C. it’s very important to save water D. healthy foods give us a lot of fat and
sugar
77.The doctors advise us .
A. to drink water even if we don’t feel thirsty B. to drink water only when we feel
thirsty
C. to stay in the first period of dehydration D. to drink a small amount of water every
day
78.The word “asthma” in Paragraph 4 is most probably a kind of .
A. food B. illness C. drink D. medicine
79.From Paragraph 4, we can learn that drinking more water can help people .
A. sleep well B. have a better memory
C. lose weight D. understand things better
80.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.Water is important because it provides us with fat and sugar.
B.We’ll never need to go to the doctor if we drink plenty of water.
C. A lot of illnesses and health problems can lead to dehydration.
D. Drinking water is important but it can’t solve all health problems.

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education
today is not just a high school or a college degree. Many adults are not
interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning
does not end with a degree.
Continuing education gives these adults the chance to increase their knowledge about their
own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to
learn new ones.
Workers can take classes to improve their work skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their
knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job or make
more money.
Continuing education classes give some adults the chance to learn new skills. There are
usually varieties of classes to choose from, typing, foreign cooking, photography, car repair, or
swimming. These are only some of the classes available.
Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. For example,
they can choose a class in almost any language, Chinese, Spanish or English as a second language.
There are also many other kinds of classes to choose from.
Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to
feel better about themselves. Overweight people can find exercise classes or classes in cooking.
Others can learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.
There are many chances for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college
or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, or
community buildings. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes
are usually small, and they are inexpensive.
Thousands of people attend continuing education classes each year. They receive no degree or
certificate(证明), and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something
they do because they want to.

If you love to eat, you make sure to have a look at Once Upon a Bite. It’s
the latest TV series from Chen Xiaoqing, who is famous for making programs
about food and dishes.
The eight-episode (集) documentary takes people to over 20 nations and
areas across the world. We are introduced to more than 160 types of food.
Some are the types that are served in the restaurants of the world’s great cities,
although we also learn about the simpler dishes cooked by people at home.
But the program is more about the culture of getting and preparing food than special dishes.
The first episode is called “Between the Mountain and the Sea”. It shows how people who
live in challenging environments learn how to make food with what they can get directly from
nature.
One example is a dish made by herders(牧羊人)from Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
The dish is freshest lamb, cooked directly after being peeled off from the bone of the animal.
Black Marlin is a popular dish served at dinner tables in Taiwan in winter. In another scene
from the first episode we learn how it gets to those tables. We see how a young fisherman, spear
(矛) in hand, can wait all day for a Marlin to appear. Some days he catches nothing at all. But, just
like the hero of the famous Hemingway novel The Old Man and the Sea, he never gives up.
This scene tells us what Once Upon a Bite is all about. As Chen told China Daily, the
program connects food with life experiences. “Food is always connected with people. Behind the
scenes are personal stories that reflect people’s living situations and attitudes.”
The program explores many different ways that food is hunted, collected, prepared and eaten
in the world. But with all this variety, does the show tell us one certain thing about food? Perhaps
it’s simply that we are what we eat. Chen thinks that food is about culture, not just our natural
need to eat and make ourselves healthy. “Culture lies in diet, not out of it. Food itself is culture in
nature, created and enjoyed by humans.” Chen said.
76. From Paragraphs 1 and 2, we can learn that Once Upon a Bite ___________
A. is the latest TV series about dishes which has only 9 episodes.
B. takes people to more than 20 cities or provinces around China.
C. makes us know about over 160 kinds of food cooked at home.
D. introduce food from both cities’ restaurants and home kitchens.
77. According to the first episode “Between the Mountain and the Sea”, which is NOT true?
A. It tells more about the culture of getting and preparing food than special dishes.
B. It shows us how people learn to make food with the materials from the nature.
C. It introduces a dish made by herders from Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
D. It makes people see how a young fisherman use a fishing net to catch a Marlin.
78. What does the underlined words “another scene” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean in
Chinese?
A. 另一集 B. 另一场景 C. 另一插曲 D. 另一事件
79. From the last two paragraphs, the writer mainly wants to___________
A. tell us food is just our natural need to eat and keep ourselves healthy.
B. tell us some stories that can truly reflect people’s working situations.
C. suggest one can’t talk about food without considering people’s life.
D. explain that diet itself is not the culture in nature but a table manner.

Did you ever wonder why we call our mid-day meal lunch"? Or where
the name "Abraham" came from? Or why one of the lovely eastern states is
called "Vermont”?
These and other words have a history. They did not simply spring into
being when Mr. Webster put them in. a dictionary! The study of where words
came from and how they began is called etymology (etta-mol-o-gee). It's fascinating!
Now, about "lunch". It comes from a Spanish word "Tongja", which means a slice of ham.
Long ago, Spanish people ate a slice of ham for their mid-day meal. Eventually, what they ate
became the word for the meal itself. Still later, it came to be pronounced "lunch" in English.
"Abraham" also has an interesting history. Originally, it came from the Hebrew word
“avarahem". Abraham means "father of many".
City and state names are often based on the names of Native American tribes (部落, 部族) or
describe the geography of the area. Vermont is actually made from two French words. "Vert" is a
French word for "green”. "Mont” is French for “mountain”.
Have you learned some interesting facts about words? Good-bye! (Which was shortened
from the English phrase "God be with you”. )

Eating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those
who don5t have basic cooking skills, or are too busy working or traveling,
one thing can save them — instant noodles.
This year marks the 60th anniversary （周年纪念）of the invention
of instant noodles. Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman
Momofiiku Ando（安藤百福）in 1958, instant noodles have been popular around the world. The
first instant noodles were considered a luxury （奢侈）product. When they first came to Japanese
supermarkets in 1958, they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles （乌冬面）.
In China, the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train. Japanese
people even voted （投票）instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20th century.
Convenience is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier.
However, many people know that instant food is not very healthy. It has more salt and
preservatives （防腐剂） than normal dishes. But more surprisingly, a survey found that instant
food may also influence people's behavior. According to the survey, instant food may make people
feel impatient, even when they are not short of time. People who like instant food also prefer
time-saving products, such as three-in-one skincare products （三合一护肤品）.
In recent years, however, online food-ordering services have become a rival to instant foods.
Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Ele me and
Meituan. These services offer not only convenience, but also more choices and more delicious
food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association, instant noodle sales dropped by 17
percent in China as of 2016. This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in
having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their stomachs, experts say.

74. What does the underlined word "rival" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean in Chinese?

There are about 6, 000 languages that are spoken
around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are
dying out, according to UNESCO （ United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 联 合
国 教 科 文 组 织 ） . If no action is taken, some of these
languages will become extinct （灭绝的）.
Languages become endangered for many reasons.
One is that some communities of endangered languages speakers disappear. These people
sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns.
In addition, the languages of "dominant （占主导地位的）cultures may cause the extinction
of other languages. To get better education and jobs, young people have to pay their attention to
learning dominant languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages include
English, French and Chinese.
Once a language dies, it hardly comes back to life. Governments across the world are taking
action to prevent this. In September, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of indigenous
（土著的）languages was an "emergency"（紧急事件）. It is now working to give new life to such
languages, Quartz reported.
In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20 percent of the country's
population to be able to speak basic Maori（毛利语）by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in
all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.
China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, even
more than the number of ethnic groups （民族）in the country. In 2015, the government started a
project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported.
All languages are a form of human heritage （遗产）. When we lose a language, we Lose the
worldview and culture of the people who spoke it. Language itself is often the only way to convey
（传递）a certain community's history and culture, as well as its knowledge of things like math
and geography.
76. About_____________ languages worldwide are in danger of dying out.

Ted is a man who really likes driving. Last month, he was driving along a mountain road in
the countryside. He drove farther and farther, to a road where he couldn't see anyone else. Then he
saw a three-legged chicken running next to his car. He was surprised at first, but then he was
amused（被逗笑了）by this and watched it as it ran along.
As he was driving, he realized that the chicken was running about 50 kilometers an hour.
"That's a pretty fast chicken. I wonder how fast it can run!" But as he drove faster, the chicken
kept up with him, even at 70 km an hour. He sped up to 90 km an hour, but the chicken was still
right next to him. How magical!
Suddenly, the chicken turned off the road and ran down a long driveway, leading to a
farmhouse. The man followed the chicken to the house and saw a man standing in the yard, as
well as lots of three-legged chickens. Ted got out of his car, called out to the farmer, "How did you
get all these three-legged chickens?" The farmer replied, "I feed them. You see, it's me, my wife,
and my son living here, and we all like to eat chicken legs. Since chickens only have two legs, I
started feeding this three-legged species（品种）so we could have more legs to eat."
"That's amazing!" Ted said. "How do they taste?"
"Well, We don't know," the farmer said. "We have never succeeded to catch them! They won't
wait tamely!"

Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies on the north of America. The population
of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9, 980,000
square kilometers and six of the world's 24 time areas as well.
There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can
speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English and about 25% of the
Canadians speak French as their first language. In one province of Canada, French is the common
language. The programs on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all in French.
Today, Chinese has become the first unofficial language in Canada.
Canada's climate （ 气 候 ） is not as cold all year
around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall
below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In
summer, the southern provinces often experience high
levels of temperatures that can reach over 30' C. The
weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is
rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with
snow for half a year. The climate in the northern part is so cold that only one fifth of the land is
suitable（合适的）for farming.
As is known to all, Canada has one-third of the world's freshwater. It has many great lakes.
There are five great lakes in the south. And there are many others, especially in the north. It is also
rich in natural resources（自然资源), such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to
produce energy.
People of northern Canada are called Inuit. They came from Asia and lived in Canada about
4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled
their baggage （ 行 李 ） . Now, they seldom move. There are about 2, 500 Inuit in all. The
government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it
is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for more centuries.

Technologies are widely used in our daily life
everywhere now.
More and more people believe that technologies are
great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads
are used in learning language, history, science and so
on.
Many teachers agree that students use iPads in language learning. They say that students now
have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending too much class time
listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own in their free time
and they have more time to have discussions in class.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to decide when to learn. Some students might
listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things.
Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand
it. Using iPads is especially helpful to the students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that
using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn, such as listening to stories and watching movies.
The class has become much more interesting.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to what
they are studying and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find.
Some students spend more time studying now. "I can listen to my language materials or watch
teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home", a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They
worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during
exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more
time on an iPad, he will have fewer chances to have face-to-face communication with others.
However, technologies are already a part of most students' day-to-day lives. As for cheating,
teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make
changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a
wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
76. From the first paragraph we know iPads are for learning.
A. harmful B. great C. expensive D. difficult
77. What does the underlined word "pace" most probably mean in Chinese?
A. 方式 B.态度 C.结构 D.进度

A. Students can spend more class time listening.
B. Students can have more class time to discuss.
C. Some students can save time for doing others.
D. Students can learn languages at different paces.
79. From the passage, we can learn that＿.
A. students with iPads have less interest in learning after class
B. students get more fun from learning with the help of iPads
C. iPads help students save time while waiting for buses
D. iPads can prevent students from cheating in exams
80. Maybe the writer agrees that＿·

C. technology in education has a bright future
D. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching
