I had oneline at the end when I beat the sleeping rabbit: The slow and steady one wins the race. I've always felt that those words guide my work. 1 am never the fastest but I keep going.My goal is always the same: to learn more this year than what I learned last year.The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible, but to have useful knowledge and keep it in the brain. 1 don't care how”fast" s tudents learn something as a teacher. There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background, knowing the material early, more sleep that night, less stress, and so on. We deal with information differently. When I see slow students, that's what I think of: Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime ，and leave the”quick" students far behind?I was slow in my math classes in university. Looking back on those days, I've come to realize that one of the ways I learn is " mistake based" . That means I learn by making mistakes. This may be slower than other ways of leaning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.I seldom worried about " slow learners" when teaching medical students. I knew these young men and women could learn. There is a lot of material to learn in medicine ，but there is also lots of time. Like in so many other jobs, knowledge is only a part of being a doctor. I spent decades l earning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops, and never should.24.What does the author believe in terms of work?A. Always finish what you have started.B. Having a goal in mind can get you far.C .Every steady step bring you progress.D. More knowledge means more chances.25.Which kind of students may the author like?A. A playful bust talented student.B. A careless but fast student.C A stupid but well-behaved student.D. A slow but thoughtful student.26. What does the author think of the mistake-based leaning way?A Perfect. B. Welcome. C. Practical D. Common.27.In the author's opinion, what can make a good doctor?A. High intelligence.B. Continuous improvement.C The ability to lean fast.D. Rich professional knowledge.CThe race to 5G is on. All four major US carriers now have some form of 5G wireless，although it's all limited roll-outs in only a few cities, mostly using expensive phones that won't support future nationwide 5G networks. We're tracking the roll-outs monthly on our Race to 5G page.The early 5G roll-outs are more like a public test than a final product. AT&T,Verizon, and T-Mobile are all using technological that only travel about 800 feet from a cell site, which means there isn't much coverage. All four carriers are waiting for upgrades(升级) to their base stations that will improve coverage, speed, and reliability. Around the end of this year or the beginning of 2020，AT&T, Verion, and T-Mobile all intend to launch 5G networks that use the existing 4G spectrum(频谱)，which will have slower speeds but broader coverage.We've tested AT&T in Dallas and Las Vegas; Sprint in Dallas and New York; Verizon in Chicago, New York, and Providence; and T-Mobile in New York. Every month, we've been seeing better performance and more new devices, It's messy. It's very early days, And if you like new technology, it's very exciting.In previous mobile transformations, we've seen most of the big changes happening years after the first announcement.Take 4G，for instance. The first 4G phones in the US appeared in 2010. But the sorts of 4G applications that changed our world didn't appear until later. So following that plan, while we're getting a little bit of5G right now, you should expect the big 5G applications to crop up around 2021 or 2022.5G stands for fifth-generation cellular(蜂窝状的)wireless, and the initial standards of it were set at the end of 2017.But a set of standards doesn't mean that all 5G will work the same一or that we even know what applications 5G will enable. There will be slow but responsive 5G, and fast 5G with limited coverage.28. What is the present state of 5C in the US?A. Initial exploration.B. Great improvement.C. Wide application.D. Extensive promotion.29. Why does the author take 4G for example?A. To persuade carriers to give up 5C.B. To remind people of 4G's importance.C. To prove 5G takes time to make a greater difference.D. To show 5G has failed to meet expectations.30. What's the author's attitude to 5G?A. Cautious.B. Skeptical.C. Concerned.D. Objective.31. What's the best title for the text?A. Race to 5GB.5G is comingC. How fast is 5G?D. What is 5G?DExperts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease. Poor diet, having too much body fat and a lack of physical exercise all increase your risk of heart disease. S o doctors urge us to eat healthy foods and get exercise. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!A study led by Anand Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia shows when we smile, the brain will change andthe chemicals that are given off are more positive.The main cause of heart attacks is blockages in blood vessels (血管). These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries (动脉)。

ANational Geographic Exhibit " Titanic : The Untold Story"The National Geographic Museum is always an interesting and educational place to visit. The admission isn't free but is definitely worthwhile for unique exhibits like this. We'll be taking a self-guided tour but there may also be museum staff on hand. About the exhibitionOn this exhibition, you will be surprised to find that the sunken Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard, who was then carrying out a top secret Cold War mission(任务). In 1985, Ballard's mission was to dive to depths of 9 ,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine(潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations, Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic.The exhibition - originally exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum -shows the history of the discovery from an entirely new angle. Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship's finding, but they can hear the fascinating stories of some of the passengers on board the ship. In addition to items borrowed from families of the survivors that have not been reunited since the night the ship sank in 1912, the exhibition contains those from the rich collections of the National Archives and the 20th Century Fox Archives. There are also movie sets and clothes worm by actors from the 1997 movie Titanic.PriceRegular: $15Seniors/Students/Military: $12Children5--12 (free under 5): $1021. Why did Ballard carry out the 1985 mission?A. To determine the place of Titanic.B. To save passengers during the Cold W ar.C. To help find the reason for Scorpion's loss.D. To experiment with a new camera system.22. What can visitors see in the exhibition?A. The survivors of Titanic.B. The original design of Titanic.C. The movie about the ship Titanic.D. The possessions of the survivors.23. If a retired couple takes their 4-year-old grandson to the exhibition, how much should they pay?A. $24.B. $30.C. $34.D. $40.B"Ae," she said, meaning ”yes" in Hawaiian, when asked a question by a male voice. ”Ae hanau ia wau i Honoma'ele.”("Yes, I was born in Honoma'ele," she said. ) That voice of an elderly Hawaiian woman was that of my great-grandmother, speaking her native language on a Honolulu radio program more than 40 years ago.The first time I heard the CD recording, it sent thrills down my back. I never met my great-grandmother, but hearing her speak in the Hawaiian language was like magic. It was a way to meet her and tor the first time, I heard people speaking the Hawaian language to each other.In Hawaii today, nearly everyone knows how to speak at least a few words of Hawaiian. But the practice of primarily speaking the Hawaiian language from birth nearly died with my great-grandmother's generation. A man named Larry Kimura- the voice interviewing my great-grandmother on that radio program - set out to change that. In the 1970s,when he started the 90-minute radio program, there were just about 2 ,000 of Hawaian speakers left who grew up speaking Hawaian in the home. Today, he puts that population at a couple of dozen.The Hawaiian language had been banned from school instruction in 1896. And by the time Kimura's show was on the air, there weren't many places to formally learn the Hawaiian language, even as a second language. " Language is the first aspect of a people to vanish," said Kimura.” People don't recognize that until it's almost gone, because they' re hanging onto their typical culture identification tags such as their songs，their foods or what they wear.As for my family, my great-grandmother did not pass along the Hawalian language to her children. But that doesn't mean it's too late. Last year, my kids and I joined a Hawaiian cultural group and hula school. Word by word, we are trying to teach ourselves what got dropped between the generations.24. How did the author feel when she first heard Hawaiian spoken?A. Moved.B. Excited.C. Relaxed.D. Confused.25. Why did Larry Kimura start the radio program?A. To honor the author's ancestor.B. To show the value of the language.C. To save the Hawalian language.D. To keep the Hawaiian people alive.26. What does the underlined word " vanish" in paragraph 4 mean? "A. Disappear.B. Develop.C. Exist.D. Vary.27. What does the author and her kids' experience indicate?A. What is lost between generations.B. How important cultural education is.C. The influence of the radio program.D. The need to protect Hawaiian people.CFew things are more satisfying than sleeping late on weekends. But though the extra sleep may improve your mood, it does not appear to improve your health. A new study shows that so-called " recovery sleep" cannot reset the body clock and may actually lead to some serious health problems.Christopher Depner, an assistant professor at the Department of Integrative Physiology of the University of Colorado Boulder, said,”Sleep loss can influence a range of physiological systems. It can increase our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, it can cause weight gain, and it can increase our risk of diabetes (糖尿病)."In the study, Depner and his colleagues divided the volunteers into three groups.One group was allowed to get a full night's sleep. The next was kept to just five hours each night. And the third group went back and forth, limited to five hours of shut-eye during the workweek, allowed as much sleep as they wanted over the weekend, and then back to five hours for the last couple of days."We found that a loss of sleep leads to a sharp increase in snaking (吃零食). But even more surprising, sleeping on the weekend doesn’t help--and even makes thing worse" said Depener. " After the weekend.,when they went back to getting inadequate sleep during the wok or school week, their liver and muscle insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity or blood sugar regulation was reduced. And this is not something we found in people who had long-term inadequacy sleep schedules. So it's possible that this is a worsening of the body's ability to regulate blood sugar for these specific tissues after the weekend. ”So make a date with a pillow. And trade the sweets for sweet dreams.28. What effect does sleep loss have on people?A. It results in changes in their moods.B. It does harm to the body clock.C. It damages the liver severely.D. It makes people become fatter.29. What do we know about the volunteers in the second group?A. They were allowed to have the least sleep in a week.B. They could have as much sleep as possible on weekends.C. Their liver and muscle insulin sensitivity was reduced.D. Their ability to regulate blood sugar was found worsened.30. What does the author advise readers to do according to the text?A. To sleep extra hours on weekends.B. To balance their work and sleep.C. To trade some sweets as possible,D. To get enough sleep on weekdays.31. From which part of a website is the text probably taken?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Sci-tech.D. Fashion.DFor a few months twice a year, the waters off California are home to gray whales moving north or south between the coast of Mexico and the Bering Sea. This year, however, it seems that fewer whales are surviving the journey north. So far this year,a total of 30 dead gray whales have washed up on the West Coast: Eight in Washington, one in Oregon and 21 in California. Those numbers are usually high.In Northern California, three out of four of the dead whales that have been examined so far appear to have died of starvation and the fourth was killed by a ship strike, said Barbie Halaska, a research assistant at The Marine( 海洋的)Mammal Center ( TMMC)，a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates ( 使康复) marine mammals in California. Halaska and her colleagues examined the four whales ---three young whales and one adult male---and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days.Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2 ,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946，so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 individuals and TMMC predicts there are now around 26 ,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean, which is about how many there were before the whaling boom got up steam almost 200 years ago.Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead whales washing up this year is alarming, Halaska said. Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales' poor health,she said.Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out for gray whales this time of year.32. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about?A. Severe conditions facing gray whales.B. An agreement to stop killing whales.C. The evolving development of gray whales.D. The number of gray whales in different times.33. What's Halaska's attitude towards the population of gray whales?A. Worried.B. Discouraged.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.34. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?A. The importance of gray whales.B. Gray whales' living environment.C. Things to do to help gray whales.D. Ways to increase gray whales' population.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Gray Whales Are Threatened by WhalersB. Why Many Gray Whales Died on California's CoastC. Gray Whales Are in Great Danger of Dying OutD. Where Gray Whales Move to Avoid Being Hunt第二节(共5 小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

"The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption," the sophomore(大二学生) said.Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face---things commonly found right in Rochester. This city is home to 90, 000 deaf people, a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million nationalpopulation. The percentage of deaf people here is higher than the national average, due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the first technological college in the world created specifcally for the deaf and hard of hearing." Really, there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people," said sophomore Stephen Davis,another deaf student. This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying ‘ deaf’is offensive, but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it," Davis said. He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations( 令人心烦的事) on their end when interacting with others." Sometimes people talk about you, maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me, as if I'm not there," Davis said. " That's depressing.”As Davis put it,”We don't see ourselves as the disabled, so the awkwardness is only one -sided.”Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability. If you have a question, ask. A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.24. Why are there more deaf people in Rochester?A. Deaf people have some privileges here.B. Deaf people may get better job opportunities here.C. Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.D. A professional school for the deaf appeals to them.25. What may embarrass people when communicating with the deaf according to Davis?A. They are afraid of upsetting the deaf.B. They are unwilling to communicate.C. They don't know any simple gestures.D. They don't challenge enough assumptions.26. What kind of person is Stephen Davis?A. Sensitive and talkative.B. Reasonable and reliable.C. Outspoken and aggressive.D. Confident and intelligent.27. What can be the best tile of the text?A. We can hear your heartB. "Deaf" is not a bad wordC. Deaf people are not liarsD. Embarrassment is one-sidedCFor many of us, summer time means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment?The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the PennsyIvania Department of Environmental Protection. Sheadvises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash.”You don't want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job," she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains(下水道).”Drains are not made for treating waste," says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down prase (油脂) anyway.The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association( ICA)，professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These proceses not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commerial facilities.As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes,which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle.28. What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars?A. Use soft toothbrushes.B. Save treated water.C. Put aside some water.D. Avoid using chemicals.29. What is Schombert's atitude to washing cars at home?A. Disapproving.B. Favorable.C. Suspicious.D. Objective.30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. Rules of handling wastewater.B. Advantages of professional car washes.C. Processes of getting rid of dirty water.D. Drawbacks of water treatment systems.31. Which method of car washing consumes the least water?A. The full-service car washes.B. Car washing in the driveway.C. The self-service car washes.D. Car washing using natural soaps.DIn a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack(非法人侵)，and here millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cybersecurity may well be mapping your brain.Researchers at Binghamton University,State University of New York are working on a biometric(生物特征识别的)system that records how your brain reacts to certain images. With a little more polishing, the scientists' brainchild could become the way you get into a safe deposit box, your office or past scanners at the airport. It could replace the password for your online banking, your email or your social media accounts.They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjeets.The subjects were fitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes( 电极) attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols--celebrity faces, words, pictures of food -on acomputer screen in 20- millisecond bursts. The brain's reaction was recorded.The idea is that every time a person needs to use a”password"，he or she goes through the sane procedure，and the results are matched with their first time reaction. If the " braiprint" is compromised 一like what happened with the fingerprint records 一then the system is merely reset by running another set of images and collecting a different set of brain waves. "Even if that was stolen, you could just cancel it and record one to something else"，says professr Laszlo.Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 percent accurate. So one of the more difficult parts of making the system practical already has been overcome. Now they’re spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes,which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses.They’re also working with cheaper material and methods to see if they can bring the cost down.32. What does the underlined word "brainchild" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The brain function.B. The fingerprint record.C. The biometric system.D. The online password.33. Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjets?A. To create their brainprints,B. To check the brain's reaction.C. To match brainprints with pictures.D. To connect brain waves to electrodes.34. What will happen when a brainprint fails?A. A spare one will be ready beforehand.B.A new one will be set again.C. The users' security will be leaked:D. The fingerprint record will replace it.35. What are the researchers doing with the program now?A. Making it user-friendly.B. Improving its accurancy.C. Recording more brainprints.D. Increasing the number of electrodes.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容、从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

I really didn't want to come back. But I did. I stayed until my Blue Belt. After that, progressing was a little frightening. But my friends and instructors got me to keep coming.I was progressing well, but that took a turn as soon as I reached the Red Belt. My parents were switching jobs, and it was very difficult to match our schedules so that 1 could come to the dojo. During that year, 1 didn't come to the dojo as much. It was hard for my parents, as well as myself, to be able to fit it into our schedule as often. When I finally started coming regularly, it was bitter for me to see that all of my friends and peers were ahead. And that taught me a lesson: You should never be upset about yourself if other people are achieving something that you aren't.If anything, you should do the opposite for them. After that year, everything was back up to speed, and I entered Level 3. I couldn't believe how fast my training was going, and I was finally into the Brown Belt.Getting through the Brown Belt tests as a young student, and a girl, was very tough. And here, in one of the last stages before my First Degree Black Belt, I learned the biggest lesson - - I could do anything that I wanted to and I was capable of anything that I set my mind to. I just didn't think I could. But I proved myself wrong, and I was able to do it.Finally, getting my First Degree Black Belt is a dream that comes true, literally. I have been dreaming about these I days for months on end, and it never loses the excitement that it gives me. And even after my ceremony, I think I will I look back on this day，and remember every second，every moment.24. How did the author feel when she first got to the dojo?A. Scared.B. Thrilled.C. Annoyed.D. Disappointed.25. What made the author unable to come to the dojo regularly?．A. Her dislike of her instructors.B. Her parents' not supporting her.C. Her little progress in the training.D. Her parents' changes of jobs.26. The author thinks that when others did better than you, you shouldA. be respectful to themB. be happy for themC. learn from them modestlyD. work harder and harder27.

All things are difficult before they are easy.COur dog Sandy is a golden retriever( 寻回犬). Once we performed anexperiment to see how keen his nose was.There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick carved an X on it, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile, not once but a dozen times into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which stick we had originally chosen. Each time he brought back that stick. It wasn't the shape or the size or the look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick.It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell. The noses of people have about 5 million cells that sense smell. Dogs' noses have anywhere from 125 to 300 million cells. Moreover, these cells are closer to the surface than cells in our noses, and more active. It has been estimated that dogs such as Sandy have noses that are a million times more sensitive than ours. Clothes that we haven't worn for week,and places we've only touched lightly indicate our presence to dogs.His ears are also remarkable. He can hear sounds that humans can't and atdistances which are astonishing. It is over our head to know and understand that world.Yet we have the advantage of being able to imagine what his experience is like, though he probably doesn't think too much about how we see the world.The environment is the world that all living things share. Living creatures areborn into the environment and are part of it. Yet there is no creature who perceives (感知到) all of what is and what happens. For a dog like Sandy a book isn't much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures.28. Why did the author conduct the experiment?A. To train Sandy to pick out sticks.B. To show how fast Sandy found sticks.C. To prove sensitivity of Sandy's nose.D. To teach Sandy to tell different smells.29. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?A. Support the conclusion with numbers.B. Summarize the previous paragraph.C. Provide some advice for the readers.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.30. What does the underlined idiom in paragraph 3 mean?A. Amazing.B. Difficult.C. Reasonable.D. Inconvenient.31. Which of the following best expresses the author's opinion in the last paragraph?A. Worlds to experience.B. An environment to share.C. No environment, no creatures.D. One environment, many worlds.DCrude oil (原油) taken from fields in Alaska's North Slope near Prudhoe Bay is carried by tube to the port of Valdez. From there it is shipped by tanker to the West Coast of the United States. Just after midnight on March24, 1989,the Exxon Valdez, a tanker more than three football fields long, went off course in Prince William Sound near Valdez and hit rocks underwater. About 42 million liters of oil poured out from several slices in the ship, creating the worst escape of oil ever in the U. s. waters.In 1990，the National Transportation Safety Board NTSB) found the captain ofthe tanker guilty of drinking before sailing and of leaving the bridge and turning over the ship to an inexperienced and tired third mate. The NTSB ruled that the accident was the result of drinking of the captain, an overworked crew member, and inadequate traffic control by the Coast Guard.In the early 1970s, conservationists said that a large, damaging oil escape would occur in these dangerous waters containing hidden rocks and frequented by icebergs and violent storms. They urged that Alaskan oil be brought to the lower 48 states by tube over land to reduce potential damage.Officials of Alyeska, a company formed by the seven oil companies taking oilfrom Alaska's North Slope, said that a tube would take too long to build and that a large escape of oil was highly unlikely. They assured Congress that they would beat the scene of any accident within five hours and have enough equipment and trained people to clean up any spill. However, when the S4-ilion Valdez leak occurred, Alyeska and Exxon officials did too little too late.In the early 1970s, Secretary of the Interior Rogers Morton told Congress that alloil tankers using Alaskan waters would have double hulls( 船体). Later, under pressure from oil companies, the requirement was dropped. After the disaster,the oil industry had much to answer for. The accident led to an international push for double-hulled oil tankers.What if the Exxon Valdez had a double hull?32. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The consequence of drunk sailing.B. The cause of the Valdez accident.C. The responsibility of the captain.D. The role of the Coast Guard in the accident.33. We can infer that conservationists advisedA. building an oil tube to save delivery timeB. stopping shipping oil in dangerous watersC. bringing Alaskan oil to the lower 48 statesD. making full preparations for any oil escape34. What did the author indicate in the end?A. The Exxon Valdez had a double dull.B. Morton worked for an oil company.C. The accident might be preventable.D. Oil companies favored the requirement.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Valdez: The Predicted Oil LeakB. Alyeska: Lessons Not LearntC. The Oil Accident: Who to BlameD. The Valdez Disaster: What to Remember第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

I had one line at the end when I beat the sleeping rabbit:The slow and steady one wins the race.I've always felt that those words guide my work.1am never the fastest but I keep going.My goal is always the same: to learn more this year than what I learned last year.The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible,but to have useful knowledge and keep it in the brain.1 don't care how”fast"students learn something as a teacher.There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background, knowing the material early, more sleep that night,less stress, and so on. We deal with information differently. When Isee slow students, that's what I think of: Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime，and leave the”quick"students far behind?I was slow in my math classes in university.Looking back on those days,I've come to realize that one of the ways I learn is " mistake based" . That means I learn bymaking mistakes. This may be slower than other ways of leaning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.I seldom worried about " slow learners" when teaching medical students. I knewthese young men and women could learn.There is a lot of material to learn in medicine，but there is also lots of time. Like in so many other jobs, knowledge isonly a part of being a doctor. I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops,and never should.24.What does the author believe in terms of work?A.Always finish what you have started.B.Having a goal in mind can get you far.A.Every steady step bring you progress.A.More knowledge means more chances.25.Which kind of students may the author like?A.A playful bust talented student.B.A careless but fast student.C A stupid but well-behaved student.D. A slow but thoughtful student.26. What does the author think of the mistake-based leaning way?A Perfect. B.Welcome. C. Practical D. Common.27.In the author's opinion, what can make a good doctor?A.High intelligence.B.Continuous improvement.C The ability to lean fast.D. Rich professional knowledge.CThe race to 5G is on. All four major US carriers now have some form of 5G wireless，although it's all limited roll-outs in only a few cities, mostly using expensive phones that won't support future nationwide5G networks. We're tracking the roll-outs monthly on our Race to5G page.The early5G roll -outs are more like a public test than a final product. AT&T,Verizon, and T-Mobile are all using technological that only travel about800feet froma cell site, which means there isn't much coverage.All four carriers are waiting for upgrades(升级) to their base stations that will improve coverage,speed, and reliability. Around the end of this year or the beginning of 2020，AT&T,Verion,and T-Mobile all频谱)，which will intend to launch5G networks that use the existing4Gspectrum( have slower speeds but broader coverage.We've tested AT&T in Dallas and Las Vegas; Sprint in Dallas and New York; Verizon in Chicago,New York, and Providence;and T-Mobile in New York. Every month,we've been seeing better performance and more new devices,It's messy. It's very early days, And if you like new technology,it's very exciting.In previous mobile transformations, we've seen most of the big changes happening years after the first announcement.Take 4G，for instance.The first 4G phones in the US appeared in 2010. But the sorts of4G applications that changed our world didn't appear until later. So following that plan,while we're getting a little bit of 5G right now,you should expect the big 5G applications to crop up around2021or 2022.5G stands for fifth-generation cellular(蜂窝状的)wireless,and the initial standards of it were set at the end of 2017.But a set of standards doesn't mean that all 5G will work the same一or that we even know what applications5G will enable. There will be slow but responsive5G, and fast5G with limited coverage.28. What is the present state of 5C in the US?A. Initial exploration.B. Great improvement.C. Wide application.D. Extensive promotion.29. Why does the author take4G for example?A.To persuade carriers to give up5C.B.To remind people of4G's importance.C.To prove5G takes time to make a greater difference.D.To show 5G has failed to meet expectations.30. What's the author's attitude to5G?A. Cautious.B.Skeptical.C.Concerned.D.Objective.31. What's the best title for the text?A. Race to 5GB.5G is comingC. How fast is5G?D. What is 5G?DDxperts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease. Poor diet, having too much body fat and a lack of physical exercise all increase yourrisk of heart disease.So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods and get exercise.But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy.Smile!A study led by Anand Chockalingam,a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia shows when we smile,the brain will change andthe chemicals that are given off are more positive.The main cause of heart attacks is blockages in blood vessels (血管). Theseprevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain.The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries (动脉)。

But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career.Since my dad always said”Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.I was admitted into industrial design. It's basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question:" Wow! Do I really want to do this?" But I finally survived the course.Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design，product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.Throughout my career, I've picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as youcan. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.24. What was the author's biggest problem when first moving to America?A. The adaption to a new environment.B. Difficulty in learning a new language.C. Father's disapproval of her studying art.D. The burden of being a communicator.25. What made the author choose to study art?A. Her deep love for art.B. The suggestion of her family.C. Her potential in design.D. The need of a good job.26. Why was the author's experience of drawing cubes mentioned?A. To emphasize her effort at study.B. To express the regret at her choice.C. To prove the course was difficult.D. To show the basic content of the course.27. How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?A. Surprised.B. Stressed.C. Eager.D. Proud.CLevison Wood is at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital ( SBAH) where, in 2018，the Office of Health Standards awarded the institution the highest honor for its quality of patient care and access to health care professionals. As part of the University of Pretoria, SBAH is a center for world-class surgeons and researchers -and where Levison meets Professor Mashudu Tshifularo.Professor Tshifularo who has performed the world's first middle ear transplant( 移植) using 3D printed bones tells Levison: "This was not an overnight breakthrough -it's the result of 10 years' investing in research and state-of-the-art health-tech. Investment in 3D printing has massive potential -一we have made history here in South Africa- and it is set to continue. "According to McKinsey & Company，the estimated(估计的) economic impact of 3D printing is $ 100--250 billion by 2025，if today's rate of adoption continues. With the most potential in aerospace (航空航天)，auto, consumer goods and health care, the technologies are making a global impact. MedTech Drive says that 3D printing will be a central part of all major health care businesses within five to ten years.Professor Tshifularo and his team have 3D printed inner ear bones. 'The procedure presents significantly fewer rises than traditional surgery and is announced as an answer to conductive hearing loss. And it's not the professor's only " world-first"."What I am doing here, nobody else is doing, ”Professor Tshifularo continues. " In 2008, I performed the world's first bloodless endoscope-assisted tonsillectomy( 扁桃体切除手术). My team includes experts from all disciplines ---including jewelry fields. The international medical community certainly will benefit from this knowledge sharing and creation in their own country. My research into further innovation is exciting. "28.

A Historic Meeting一Levison and TshifularoDFamous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals ，Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says," We don't want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam,so loved by tourists, wejust have so many coming to the city. "Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. ”Perspective 2030" report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on”destination management” rather than”destination promoting ".The document also describes the country's future strategy ，acknowledging that Amsterdam's livability will be severely influenced by " visitor overload" if action isn't taken.Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands.Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous "I Amsterdam" sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city's main art gallery.The two-meter high letters have been moved to various lesser-known neighborhoods in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals ，van Loon fears that Amsterdam has already lost its uniqueness forever. "The reason tourists come here is that there's something in the character of Amsterdam they love," she explains. ”But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place.”32. What does van Loon mean by saying " We don't want to turn into a Venice"?A. Venice is suffering from over tourism.B. Amsterdam doesn't necessarily copy Venice.C. Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam.D. Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.33. Why did Amsterdam advise visitors to head elsewhere?A. To reduce its pressure of mass visitors.B. To turn the focus on destination promoting.C. To promote the development of other areas.D. To avoid much spending on city management.34. What does the underlined word " entice" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Force.B. Persuade.C. Inform.D. Allow.35. What's van Loon's attitude to the measures?A. Optimistic.B. Objective.C. Skeptical.D. Ambiguous.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
