21. If you are taking a baby, which one may suit you best?
A. Manhausen. B. Cedar Lakes Estate.
C. Soho Farmhouse. D. Salt House Inn.
22. What is special about Soho Farmhouse?
A. Water scenery. B. Limited access. C. Outdoor activities. D. Family-style meals.

The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store. There was a line at the fish counter,
but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. Some customers ordered quite an amount
of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line; all I wanted was a couple of crabs
and should get out of there in no time.
Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. I was ready to be
served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snails(蜗
牛). The customer in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically, and the
customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start her,” pointing at me. He was, well,
ignored.
If someone asked me, “What is the most important rule to follow in America?” I would reply without
hesitation, “Wait your turn at all times.” Wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting
in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations,
it’s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, “wait your turn” is more than just a guideline—it is
a very basic norm(准则) that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. But in some situations
your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just
like my case at the store. Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.
24. What happened to the author at the store?
A. He wasn’t served upon his order. B. He was ill-treated by a customer.
C. He was asked to be served later. D. He was asked to do others a favor.
25. What is the author’s opinion about Queuing Rule?
A. Wait until being served. B. Serve people as one likes.
C. Wait until your turn comes. D. First come, later served.
26. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. His belief. B. His experience. C. His culture. D. His rule.
27. Why did the author write the text?
A. To emphasize his kindness to others.
B. To introduce some western cultures to us.
C. To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.
D. To express his belief and his feeling.

A robot created by Washington State University(WSU) scientists could help elderly people with
dementia(痴呆) and other limitations live independently in their own homes.
The Robot Activity Support System or RAS, uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine
where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It
navigates(定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions
on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the
kitchen.
“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU
smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected,” said Bryan Minor, a
postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day
activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is
nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that
technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare
system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.
RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They
recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could
make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.
“While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising,”
Minor said. “The next step in the research will be to test RAS’ performance with a group of older adults to
get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot.”
28. How does RAS serve elderly people?
A. Through sensors B. Through objects.
C. Through a mobile robot. D. Through their daily activities.
29. What can we know about RAS?
A. It is the first robot used in daily life. B. Its function remains to be tested.
C. It can locate people and do any task. D. It can cook for owners on its own.
30. What’s Minor’s attitude toward the future of RAS?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Elderly people leave the nursing home.
B. Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.
C. RAS, the first robot to make home smart.
D. Older adults have benefited from RAS.
D
Demand for the Chinese tech company’s devices(设备) is red hot even though the country’s overall
market for smartphones is getting smaller. Huawei’s China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final
quarter of 2018, and experts say that’s partly due to the US government’s global campaign against the
company.
“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义) in Chinese consumers,
said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.
He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last
year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firm’s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in
early December at the request of the United States.
Huawei’s booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United
States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and
pursues( 追 究 ) criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world’s
biggest smartphone maker by next year.
Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many
as Apple(AAPL), according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple’s sales
plunged almost 20%.
Huawei’s success in China, the world’s largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics(地
缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high-end phones because they have great cameras, cutting
edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of
cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market.
It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE(ZTCOF), a rival Chinese smartphone and
telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital
American parts for months last year.
32. Why did Huawei’s China sales increase greatly according to the article?
A. Because the company’s devices are always popular worldwide.
B. Because Chinese consumers’ patriotism was aroused.
C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.
D. Because the country’s overall market for smartphones is getting bigger.
33. What can we conclude from the third paragraph?
A. Huawei’s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US’s request.
B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.
C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei’s chief financial officer.
D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei’s chief financial officer is unfair.
34. How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?
A. increased greatly by. B. reduced greatly to.
C. dropped greatly by. D. remained steady.
35. Why is Huawei’s success in China more than about geopolitics?
A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.
B. Because Huawei’s success is only limited within China mainland.
C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.
D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.

How to Cultivate Confidence?
When faced with a big challenge where potential failure seems to appear at every corner maybe you’ll
hear this advice: “Be more confident.” 36 Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile, and
capable, also known as self-esteem. Confidence turns thoughts into action. It comes from the genes you are
born with, the way people get used to treating you as well as the choices you make. While it isn’t possible
to completely separate these three factors, the personal choices we make obviously play a major role in
confidence development. As a result, by keeping in mind certain practical tips, we do actually have the
power to cultivate our own confidence.
37 If you’re looking for a long-term change, consider the way you think about your abilities and
talents. Do you think they are fixed at birth, or that they can be developed? These beliefs matter because
they can influence how you act in the face of setbacks. If you have a fixed mindset, meaning that your
talents are locked in pace, you might give up, assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not good at.
But if you have a growth mindset, and think your abilities can improve, a challenge will become an
opportunity to learn and grow. Neuroscience(神经学）supports the latter. The connections in your brain do
get stronger and grow with study and practice. 38
Practicing failure is a must. Failure happens. 39 J.K. Rowling was rejected by twelve different
publishers before one picked up Harry Potter. The Wright Brothers built on history’s failed attempts at
flight before designing a successful airplane. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying
anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges in a constructive way. 40 So, think of a
challenge you want to take on, realize it’s not going to be easy, accept that you’ll make mistakes, and be
kind to yourself when you do. You’ll feel the excitement, knowing that whatever the result, you’ll have
gained greater knowledge and understanding.
A. But what is confidence?
B. So can confidence be easily cultivated?
C. Everyone is possible to encounter failure.
D. Being a talented person is quite necessary.
E. They learn to try different strategies and persevere
F. Believing in your abilities to improve is the first step.
G. It also turns out that people with a growth mindset are better at dealing with challenges.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m Li Hua, Chairman of the Students’ Union. I’m writing to tell you that our school is planning to
donate some Chinese classics to your library, because during our visit to your school last month, some of
your students mentioned they have strong passion for Chinese literature. Since we are sister schools, we
intend to donate some books, whose topics vary from ancient Chinese philosophy, Tang and Song poetry to
classical Chinese novels. I’m sure that the classic works will meet your students’ desire for Chinese literary
knowledge.
Hopeful these books may promote our friendship and your students can have a better understanding of
China.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
