But unfortunately, I also had the most misunderstandings with them. However, I have not lost any of my friends over these disagreements.Once I bought a few books to read in my free time during the summer vacation at high school. One evening during the vacation, two of my friends visited my home. After having some small talk, one of them started looking at my library that I had built since my childhood. He picked up one of the books that I had just started reading in the morning. It was Thomas, one of my best friends in high school. I helped him a lot with his mathematics for the exam before the summer vacation.The disagreement with him began when he wanted to take the book home. The book named An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser was his first choice. I tried to make him realize that I had just started reading it before they arrived at my home and had just finished one-fourth of the book. But it seemed that he was also crazy about the book. He was determined to take it. Samuel, the other friend of mine sat quietly and saw us argue with each other.The argument continued for about 15 minutes, and I tried to ask him to take some other books. He looked sad, saying that after he started reading the story, he really didn’t want to miss the chance to complete the book. Finally, I gave up and let him take the book on one condition: he should return the book just after he finished reading it and also would not lend it to someone else (he had lost most of his books lending them to others) as he did earlier with my books.4．What happened to Thomas soon after he arrived at the author’s home?A．He thought of a children’s book.B．He argued with Samuel over a book.C．He was attracted to one of the author’s books.D．He remembered leaving his book in the library.5．Why did the author want to continue reading An American Tragedy?A．He enjoyed it very much.B．He was a fan of the writer.C．He read it for the final exam.D．He planned to research into it.6．How did the author solve the disagreement with Thomas?A．He told him the story of the book.B．He decided to lend him the book.C．He gave him another book by the same writer.D．He let him look through the book before leaving.7．What can we say about Thomas?A．He doesn’t have any friends.B．He is good at mathematics.C．He always keeps his word.D．He doesn’t give up easily.We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless(无线的) technology might change our lives in the future.5G technology promises the internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely used service until 2023.One project in Britain, however, is already testing this super fast technology on an unlikely group Internet users—cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems, Inc. It also receives money from the British government. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G in countryside areas around the world.Testing areas were set up at farms in 3 countryside areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G devices(装置)that connect to a robotic milking(挤奶) system,which uses sensors(传感器) and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks towards an automatic gate. During the milking, machines give food for the cow as a reward.Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubsup(蹭) against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always have enough to eat.Duncan Forbes, head of a government-funded agricultural engineering organization, told Reauters that the project shows the farm’s cow operation can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provided strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain,but in countryside across the world. 8．What is the aim of Cisco Systems Inc’s project?A．To win financial support from the British governmentB．To test the effects of 5G technology on animalsC．To promote its technological development in BritainD．To expand the future use of 5G in countryside9．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．The project B．The companyC．The technology D．The group10．What can we learn about 5G according to the text?A．It is no worse than 4G in terms of speedB．It is already widely used all over the worldC．It has made improvements in operating the cowsD．It is based on sensors and machine learning11．In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment B．LifestyleC．Education D．TechnologyThree minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight, new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Insteadof using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.“We’ve found that one single exposure (暴露) to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.12．What plays a key role in red light therapy?A．The time of day for treatment.B．The device used in the treatment.C．The time that one treatment lasts.D．The number of treatments received.13．What makes it necessary to improve the study?A．The age of the volunteers.B．The number of the volunteers.C．The poor vision of the volunteers.D．The health condition of the volunteers.14．What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy?A．Unclear.B．Doubtful.C．Tolerant.D．Hopeful. 15．What is the purpose of this text?A．To state the importance of eye care.B．To explain the value of deep red light.C．To introduce a way to fight vision decline.D．To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.二、七选五Role of Mass Media in EducationIn today’s advanced world, where everything is changing at lightning speed, mass media plays an important role. 16 It isn’t limited to the four walls of a classroom anymore. Mass media is responsible for this development to a great extent. The major roles mass media plays in the education field are:Universal reachMass media has connected people like never before. Education is something which aims to have a universal reach. Mass media has helped to bridge that gap enormously. 17 Storage of informationMass media allows storing information which can be accessed from anywhere at any time. It is literally accessible, at our fingertips, which saves a lot of time and energy. 18 No physical restrictions19 But it is not the case now. Mass media has reduced distances and made the world smaller for good. For instance, it is not necessary to be present at a place physically to gain knowledge now.Fruitful resultsAnother huge advantage of current technological innovations in mass media is the increased memory capability of students. Many scientific pieces of research have proven that delivering lectures via an audio-visual format (视听格式) is quite effective. 20 All this has only been made possible because of mass media.A．This results in the reduction of false information.B．That being said, education is also advancing day by day.C．Therefore, it serves as a rather useful resource in the field of education.D．One of the major disadvantages before mass media was a physical restriction.E．Mass media consists of the tools used for communicating information and ideas.F．In other words, it is now within everyone’s reach and making the world a better place.G．It has a more positive impact on the memory power of the brain than an audio lecture.三、完形填空I went through the door of the post office with a huge smile.
