While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.1.What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A.They were treated cruelly.B.They were abandoned in streets.C.They received warm welcome.D.They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.2.Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A.People should adopt the dogs and cats.B.Animals are too cruel to humans being.ernment can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D.It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.3.What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.updateB.replaceC.post againD.download4.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A.No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B.San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C.Americans care about animals more than humans.D.More and more cities are involved in animal rights.3、 Two deer jumped out in front of 16﹣year﹣old Amanda Floyd's car. She stepped on the brake, sopping the car just in time. But later, she strted texting.Distacted (分心的),Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasn't in a real car﹣﹣she was in a driving simulator (模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio,US. "I never really realized that cars make a turn that much," Amanda, a Junior, said. She added that she wouldn't text while driving anymore.The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, while texting, or while talking on the phone.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distacted driving chaimed 3,450 1ives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a seringn whee! (方向盘) ,brake and gas pedal (油门踏板). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving: how much damage they've caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they're going to go to prison."It teaches how to drive without being on the road," said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates."Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously" he said."Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but it can change someone else's life forever. The results are serious."1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph One?A.Introduce the topic of the text.B.Illustrate the author's point of view.C.Provide some advice for the readers.D.Offer some background information.2.Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School?A.It tests the students' ability to stay focused.B.It gets students to have fun between classes.C.It teaches students how to deal with taffec accidents.D.It makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving3.What can we know about the driving simulator?A.It is connected to the local police station.B.It is a real car but has large computer screens.C.It atracts the students' intrest as a computer program.D.It benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch.4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Traffic rules in Ohio, US.B.Danger of distracted driving.C.Simulated driving for students.D.Advantages of computer games.4、Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinkingin sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reducedair-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.1.What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.2.Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A.To follow an old practice.B.To help reduce energy use.C.To completely replace air conditioners.D.To help cut down on daily expenses.3.What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A.All parties should get started at the same time.B.The basic architecture should be finished first.C.Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.D.Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.Waste less, live betterB.Goodbye, air conditioningC.How to reduce the energy costD.Green buildings call for integrated design5、When you are dealing with a stressful situation or going through a hard time, people in your life can help you. When someone who cares knows what you’re goingthrough, it helps you feel understood and not so alone ①__________ Problems seem smaller when you talk about them with the right person.You can do better and find out solutions more easily when you share your problems.There are lots of different ways to get and give help ②__________ Other times you need advice on things.

You can easily pick up and drop off your child thanks to the many parking spaces close to the entrance.Our servicesBig Ben Kids provides day care, preschool care and after-school care. Our activity programme includes language lessons, violin lessons, guitar lessons and much more. Activities are held indoors, but can also be external, such as swimming in the river, and field trips to the woods. Children learn dancing, making music, and the native language ——Dutch! They learn through play. Our curriculum is carefully designed in such a way that the children don’t eve n notice how much they learn each day. For them，it’s all about playing and having fun!What does Big Ben Kids offer your family?•Homelike environmentA warm and stimulating(趣味盎然的）atmosphere that allows children to grow and develop safely.• A truly international placeOur staff members come from all over the world, just like the families we serve. We are therefore acutely aware that our centers should be much more than places that simply care for children. We always go the extra mile to help families and try to bring everyone together to form a friendly international community.• Healthy mealsAt Big Ben Kids, we serve two warm, healthy, homemade meals each day. The snacks are nutritious as well, with lots of fruit and vegetables. Parents receive our menu every week in advance.1. Where does the center probably lie?A. Germany.B. France.C. Holland.D. Sweden.2.

Whether their children finish homework.BNorway shares a long eastern border with Sweden and is bordered by Finland and Russiato the north-east, and the Skagerrak Strait to ihe south 一Denmark on the other side of the strait. It has ail extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality 6f life among the worlds nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, the job they wan! — unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January,2019 — enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per-capita(人均的) basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first don't expect to be met byDubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.1.Where is the Skagerrak strait?A.Near the Barents Sea.B.On the east of Finland.C.Near the north of Norway.D.On the north of Denmark.2.What leads to Norway’s succe ss?A.Its huge reserve of oil.B.Its low unemployment rate.C.Its quality education.D.Its pleasant natural environment.3.What can be inferred about Norway from paragraph 3?A.Norwegians are seeking modern life.B.It is modest about its wealth.C.It puts much focus on the traffic.D.Norwegians try to keep away from high technology.4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph convey?A.Norway’s future should be considered.B.Norway wouldn’t like to make changes.C.Norway has accumulated enough pensions.D.Norway's retired population is decreasing.CThere are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake to in the morning. For me, it's the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.If you're a big fan of coffee, you'll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell-fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you'll be able to identify the beans' origin-Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. "When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological responses."I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it's the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past yourtongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and the vast majority of them still don't get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!1.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.B.Coffee beans' origin makes all the difference.C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.D.It's the smell of coffee that really matters.2.What does the author complain about?A.The process of making coffee.B.The high temperature of coffee.C.The design of the paper coffee cup.D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.3.Which can replace the word "eliminating" underlined in Paragraph 4?A.Creating.B.Removing.C.Increasing.D.Changing.4.What can be the best title of the text?A.Wake up and smell the coffeeB.Try to be a real lover of coffeeC.Drink coffee to save the planetD.Choose takeaway coffee for convenienceDOn average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband arid two children. She calls it a "regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both shortterm and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three clays in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.1.What is David Strayer's opinion?A.Americans dislike outdoor activities.B.Electronic equipment should be quitted.C.New technologies are a double-edged sword.D.Electronic equipment brings great convenience.2.Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A.To try another lifestyle.B.To refresh our brain.C.To make better decisions.D.To play with our family and friends.3.What does the underlined word "regenerative" mean?A.Reborn.B.Memorable.C.Remarkable.D.Tiring.4.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Electronic Equipment Harms theB. Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC.Tips on Using New TechnologiesD.Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain二、七选五阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to“ read ” human personalitie.The eyes， they say， are the windows to the soul.And if that is true，computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的 ) artificial intelligence algorithms( 演算法 ) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality ， conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“ Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality ，”wrote theresearchers， led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher ， whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements，then determined their personality traits with “well- established questionnaires”for determining the personality type ，according to a summary of the study published by the site ScienceDaily .The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits ， such as “ neuroticism ， extraversion( 外向 ) ， agreeableness，conscientiousness，as well as curiosity ”， the scientists wrote.“ The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers andother high- tech devices ，even robots ， allowing for more natural and realistic socialinteractions with machines ，” Loetscher said.“ People are always looking for improved ， personalized services.Today's robots andcomputers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non- verbal information ，“Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural，and better at interpreting human social signals. ”The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies ， according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。

]BWe've been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us.We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy.Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves.However ， the most high - tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called the Stir Kinetic Desk.The desk learns your daily behavior and moves between a sitting and standingheight regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule.If you tend to sit while returning e - mails in the morning ， but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call ， the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them.Of course， the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touchscreen on thelower left corner of the desk.When switching positions ， the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up.If you're not ready to switch positions at that time ， you can tap the touchscreen to staysitting or standing for a while longer.The built - in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tellsyou how many calories you've burned.You can even set goals for how long or how often youwant to stand.The desk also works with fitness devices like the Fitbit to track your movements.All of that smart technology doesn't come cheap though.The M1 desk ，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990，while the more executive model with added features ，the F1，goes for $4 ， 190.While expensive ，it's worth that thinking of how much time we spend at our desks.Muchlike a good mattress(床垫 ) ， a good desk that works with you is worth the investment.Hopefullyin a few years these smart， integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种新型智能办公桌：能根据人的习惯自动设定其坐着和站着时的不同高度。
