These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra (代数) and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents (指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why theseoperations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by stude nts. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery (神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.4. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A. Algebra.B. College Mathematics.C. Arithmetic.D. Mathematics Education.5. What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?A. Stronger imaginative ability.B. Additional presentation skills.C. More mathematical confidence.D. Greater chances of becoming teachers.6. What can we learn about Professor H. Siegel?A. He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.B. He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.C. He works in Georgia State University.D. He specializes in training teachers.7. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A news report.B. A book reviewC. A lesson plan.D. An advertisementCPeanuts to ThisProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who starte d the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiledand flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!8. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A. Controversial.B. Ridiculous.C. Boring.D. Puzzling.9. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.D. He was new at the school.10. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means ________.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager11. In the end, the author turned things around ________.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterDHoney (蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest (巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is verydetermined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.12. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?A. It’s small in size.B. It’s hidden in trees.C. It’s covere d with wax.D. It’s hard to recognize.13. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D. A beekeeper.14. The honey guide is special in the way ________.A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees’ nests15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lover’s Helper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。

While they were there, his mother Garrett learned about LuLu, a restaurant that offers food to customers with food allergies(过敏). At LuLu, Isaac could eat a salad and a bowl of chicken soup with rice. “Isaac looked at me as if asking, ‘Is this OK?’ ” Garrett said. Once his mom gave the OK, Isaac enjoyed for the first time the experience of eating at a restaurant. “That look on his face was like, ‘This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done,’ ” Garrett added. Garrett and her family rarely eat out because of Isaac ’s food allergies. When they do, she cooks something for Isaac at home before they leave and brings it with her to the restaurant. “It’s not fun and it feels unfair,” she said. Their night at LuLu marked a celebration for Isaac. Garrett shared the moment o n the restaurant’s Facebook page. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving Isaac this wonderful experience,” she wrote in her post.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Barnett, the restaurant’s manager, said, “When customers tell the staff that someone in their group has a food alle rgy, I assist with the order by passing it to the kitchen, ensuring it’s cooked in a separate station and delivering the finished food to the guests. We have been improving this process over the past ten years since our allergy program was started.”On Gar rett’s Facebook post, LuLu thanked Garrett for sharing her story. “Thank you for sharing your experience with us,” the restaurant wrote in a comment, “We are excited to see your son so happy!”Garrett is hoping her post’s popularity will convince other restaurants to be more considerate. “LuLu takes it seriously as we take it –nothing could make us happier than that,” she said.4．How does Isaac feel when he first ate at LuLu?A．Satisfied.B．Curious.C．Amused.D．Nervous.5．What does Garrett usually do when her family go out to eat?A．She leaves Isaac alone at home.B．She prepares some food for Isaac.C．She orders some special food for Isaac.D．She lets Isaac choose his favorite dishes.6．What will Barnett do when guests with allergies come to dinner?A．He will deliver the menu to them.B．He will personally assist with the order.C．He will introduce the allergy program.D．He will cook dinner in a separate station.7．What touched Garnett deeply?A．LuLu’s response to her post.B．Her son’s experience at LuLu.C．LuLu’s concern for guests with allergies.D．More restaurants’ following LuLu’s steps.Does your local high sch ool have a student newspaper? Only 1 in 8 of New York’s public high schools has student newspapers – and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.Rebecca Dwarka, an 18-year-old senior w ho works for her student paper said, “Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it. This makes a ‘whole article’ sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places.”I am not nostalgic(怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war and rock ’n’ roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.School newspapers are in decline(衰落) because students now find out what happened on social networking websites. This is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do-it-yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.When something happens, we look for social media messages. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny, pass on stories and express opinions without the press’ challenging, researching or slowing the message.But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires seeing something carefully and it uses an eye for details to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion tries to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.8．What can we infer from Rebecca’s words?A．Students like reading detailed articles.B．School newspapers are becoming unpopular.C．Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news.D．Long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places.9．What does the author think of social media messages?A．They make journalism become a craft.B．They represent the power of small voices.C．They are usually discouraging for readers.D．They are coming without careful research.10．What should good journalism do according to the author?A．Ignore some details.B．Spread a message quickly.C．Convey an opinion in a fair way.D．Act as blog posts in modern times.11．Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．Social media or newspapers?B．Everyone can become a reporter at presentC．Social networking brings about new journalismD．High school newspapers – an endangered species.Chinese retail giant Alibaba has developed a new automated(自动化的) vehicle which is easy to mass-produce and could serve a number of functions. These could include delivery messenger or automated coffee selling machine, it said.The Cainiao G Plus can travel at up to nine miles per hour, reports The Verge news site. It was showed at a conference where Alibaba founder Jack Ma announced a 100bn yuan ($15.5bn) would be put into smart logistics(物流).This includes devices such as warehouse robots as well as delivery aids.AI expert and author Calum Chace described the G Plus as being like the “ugly big brother” of a delivery project developed by UK firm Starship Technologies. Starship has been working on this project for several years, so the Alibaba project looks to be behin d as well as ugly, he said. “But that won’t matter. Anything to do with artificial intelligence is put in the first place for China, which has set itself the target of overtaking the US as world leader in AI by 2030”.China benefits from having free access to large amounts of data, essential for training algorithms(算法), he added, probably a disadvantage in Europe since the introduction of GDPR law, designed to protect privacy.“Don’t bet against the Chinese pulling ahead in any AI-related competition, be it self-driving cars, facial recognition, or delivery projects,” Mr Chace said.The G Plus vehicle is fitted with solid state Lidar – the laser sensors which form an important part of the system autonomous vehicles use to be aware of their surroundings.Solid state Lidar is cheaper and easier to produce than the traditional system, which involves spinning multiple lasers in circles to help build up a 360-degree image of what surrounds the vehicle. There are various developers creating their own versions but essentially it uses fewer lasers and a tiny swinging mirror.Last month BMW said that its autonomous vehicles will be fitted with solid state Lidar when they will be launched in 2021.12．What do we know about the delivery project developed by UK’s Starship Technologies?A．It is behind and looks ugly.B．It is behind but looks nicer.C．It is modern but looks ugly.D．It looks nicer and more modern.13．What is AI expert Calum Chace’s attitude toward China’s AI?A．Worried.B．Confident.C．Negative.D．Unconcerned.14．What is the aim of GDPR legislation in Europe?A．To protect personal information.B．To train people to go online properly.C．To let people have free access to data.D．To encourage more people to go online.15．What plays an important part in the system which the vehicles use to know their surroundings?A．The laser sensors.B．The tiny swinging mirror.C．The traditional system.D．The things around the vehicles.二、七选五Basic first aid is a very valuable skill to have when going on a camping trip. 16．Cuts. With small cuts, you need to be careful to keep the area of the wound clean to avoid getting infected. 17．If the cut has not stopped bleeding, raise the wounded area above the heart and place pressure on the area to stop the bleeding. 18． It should be held in place with tape, but should not be too tight.Blisters. Blisters can turn a fun walk in the woods into a terrible experience. 19．Change your bandage and socks and keep the blistered area clean. Make sure that you pack different size bandages and first aid cream.Sprains. If you have got a heavy pack on your shoulders, it can be very easy to twist your ankles. Walking sticks can be a traveler’s friend. 20． A good ACE bandage should be packed in case of a sprained ankle. This can help fix the sprained area until you can get medical attention.After seeing the above dangers and treatments, it’s also helpful to pack a small basic first aid kit for your trip. Make sure that you include items that are unique to you and fit your environment (bleeding, bruise, snake bite, etc.).A． They can help you keep balance on rough areas.B． Wear comfortable shoes and socks during the trips.C． Treat the cut with first aid cream to prevent infection.D． They are an open wound and can get infected if not cared for.E.
