The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the 25 .

B A survey of reading habits shows adult Chinese read 7.78 books a year on average(平均), and children and teenagers under 17 read 8.81 books, according to survey results released on Wednesday in Beijing. This year’s survey, the 15th edition, was conducted and released by Chinese Academy of Press and Publication starting in 1999. The survey focused on the data in 2017. “Compared with 2016, growth was stable,” said Xu Shengguo, a member of the academy’s research team. “We see it is the result of government efforts. It also shows the reading platforms are different. Besides books in print, there are e-books on computers, smartphones and kindles.” Xu said although the number is still rising, the average of books Chinese people read are outnumbered by Japan with 11, South Korea with 9, France with 8 and the United States with 7. The survey found 67.5 percent of urban residents(城市居民)had a habit of reading books in 2017, while 49.3 rural residents(农村居民)did. In recent years, digital reading has grown in the countryside. 73 percent of adult Chinese read digitally, including online, mobile, digital readers and smart phones, compared to 68.2 percent in 2016. When it comes to favorite types of books,

Chinese readers love literature most, followed by lifestyle, history and psychology. As for digital reading, urban love stories are the most popular, followed by history/military, literature classics and fantasy. Other interesting points from the survey: ●On average, about one in ten adult Chinese reads more than ten books in print in 2017, and about one of twenty reads more th an ten digital books. ●12 percent of Chinese read books for more than one hour a day on average. ●Adult Chinese spent 80.43 minutes a day on their smartphones in 2017, a more than six-minute increase from 2016. During this period of time, an average of 27 minutes is spent on WeChat. ●22.8 percent of adult Chinese listened to audio books regularly in 2017, an increase of 5.8 percent compared to 2016. 36.

40. The purpose of the passage is to _________________. A. show us why Chinese read books B. encourage more Chinese to read on the smartphones C. talk about the basic situation of Chinese

reading in 2017 D. prove Chinese love reading better than people in any other country in 2017 C A number of companies have used the wind and the sun to produce energy. Now, one company is using the force of flowing rivers and ocean waves. The company is based in the U.S. state of Maine. It is called the Ocean Renewable Power Company, or ORPC. The company recently presented the new technology at an energy conference near Washington, DC. Christopher Sauer, the CEO of ORPC says the technology was designed for small, lonely villages that do not have easy ways to get power. The ORPC technology is an energy generator(发电机)which can be put under water in the river, called RivGen. It works in a series of steps. First, the generator is put in the middle of a steel cage. The cage goes on top of a wide boat with a flat bottom called a pontoon(趸船). Wheels ?C or, turbines(涡轮机) ?C are connected to each side of the generator. Once the pontoon boat is fixed to one place, it is flooded with water. The pontoon, cage, and generator all sink to the bottom of the river. There, the river waves turn the wheels and creates as much as 50 kilowatts(千瓦)of power. CEO Christopher Sauer says the generator is not very tall, so it can work in water areas that are not very deep, but other companies are not able to work in shallow water. And, Sauer says, the turbines are safe for the animals that live in the river. “At the peak of salmon(鲑鱼) season, we had almost two million fish pass by this thing but at the end of all of that, we did not have a single fish die that we knew about,” he said. Another feature of the technology he mentioned is “crossflow turbines”. They permit the turbines to move in the same direction, no matter what way the water is flowing. Sauer also says the turbines’ shape permi ts the generator to harvest power from tidal waves in the ocean. The company’s ocean

turbine is called TidGen. It can create up to 600 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power a small settlement(定居点). Right now, the amount of power TidGen can harvest changes as the strength of the tide goes up and down. But ORPC workers are trying to make the power output steady(稳定的). In time, they want TidGen power to be part of the main energy. CEO Christopher Sauer estimates ORPC’s current price is about 50 cents per kilowatt-hour. That price does not make the ORPC system competitive with natural gas. However, for small lonely villages, energy from flowing water could be more economical.

41. What can ORPC use to produce energy? A. The wind. B. The sun. C. The natural gas. D. The force of flowing river. 42. Where is RivGen when it works? A. On the river. B. At the bottom of the river. C. Over the river. D. On the river bank. 43. According to what Sauer said in Para 4, we can know that ___________ .

A. the turbines killed lots of fish

B. salmons can help the RivGen create power

C. the animals that live in the river may destroy the turbines

D. the turbines do not make the animals in the river in danger 44. Which of the following word CANNOT be used to describe the RivGen? A. Safe. B. Perfect. C. Useful.

D. Harmless. 45. What can we infer from the passage? A. ORPC’s generator can work in shallow water. B. The way the water is flowing can make the turbines move in different directions. C. TidGen power is still not part of the main energy at present because of its unsteady output. D. All lonely villages in the U.S. will have easy ways to get power with the help of RivGen. 第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） A. 根据句意和汉语提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词（每空限一词） 46.

根据短文内容及字数要求回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分

10分） Nearly 2.4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017. By the end of 2018, more than a third of the global population will be using smartphones. Those numbers -- from Mobile Marketing Magazine -- sound great, don’t they? More people will have more information at their fingertips. However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword(双刃剑). On one hand, it sends us endless information. We don’t have to wait. Our devices ring, ping, vibrate and light up with the latest news from family, friends and around the world. On the other hand, this immediate way to information may become an addiction(瘾). And it may make some people feel lonely, worried and stressed. These findings are from a 2018 study from San Francisco State University and have been published in Neuro Regulation. Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at the university. They led the study. The

two professors asked 135 university students about their smartphone use and their feelings. They foun d that “students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling―lonely, stressed and worried.” But Erik Peper suggests turning off push notifications（推送提醒） and other such alerts on our phones. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer a text, a message or an email. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don’t need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest setting limits on the time you spend on smartphones. If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook or WeChat, set aside a small amount of time to it. Schedule periods of the day to focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to take up your time. (Answer the following questions with no more than six words) 56. What are Eric Peper and Richard Harvey? 57. How do smartphones make people feel according to the study? 58. How many suggestions are given to fight against smartphone addiction? 59. What did Eric Peper and Richard Harvey ask 135 university students about? 60. When will more than a third of the global population be using smartphones according to Mobile Marketing Magazine? 六、任务型阅读阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每个空格只填1个单词（共10空；每空1分，满分10分）In 1995, the UNESCO’s General Conference held in Paris designated the World Book Day on April 23 to say thanks to books and writers worldwide and to invite everyone to be a lifelong reader.
