1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture?You take a selfie(自拍照). But what about selfies in space?Last year, NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, said that he took the first selfie in space during the Gemini XI I mission in 1966.
"For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie, " argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the idea of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and the human wish to interact(互动) on social platforms. "The thing that makes a self ie is sharing it, " she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s, and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronaut s had to pull the film magazines(胶卷暗盒) out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions had a weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after the sad loss of the space shuttle Columbus, which broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. "Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work quickened the pace for digital, " Levasseur says.
Today, astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true space selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的) on the Internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
(1)、What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's words?A、It needs to be further proved. B、It develops the technology of space selfies. C、It is different from public opinions. D、It hardly makes any sense.(2)、Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?A、To lighten the weight of the spaceship. B、To test cameras in the special environment. C、To prepare for the next space exploration. D、To take more pictures in space.(3)、What pushed space camera technology?A、The invention of new films. B、The fear of falling behind in the space race. C、The concern about the loss of valuable date. D、The popularity of space selfies.(4)、What does the underlined phrase "participate in" mean in the last paragraph?A、Take advantage of. B、Take part in. C、Result in. D、Make fun of. -
2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Ten originated in China over two thousand years ago. Today, the country owns over 2,000 varieties of tea, differing in taste, sweet and purpose. Some teas, such as Huang Shan, refresh the sense of taste with their special flavour, while others, such as spicy chai, are added with spices (香料).
China first started exporting tea during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and the drink has since come to lead humanity's drinking habits far beyond Asia. It is the most widely consumed drink on Earth today, aside from water and coffee.
In Chinese mythology, tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong ("Divine Farmer") in 737 BC, when a soft wind carried some leaves into a pot of boiling water. However, the oldest dependable evidence comes from ancient plant remains found in 2016 in Xi'an and western Tibet, showing that tea was grown at least 2,100 years ago during the Western Han dynasty when it was most likely used as medicine.
Generation after generation of tea makers experimented with different brewing (冲泡) techniques, leaves, and ceremonies, resulting in today's tea culture full of life. There's no doubt that China's tea culture has become one of the most popular, diverse, and unique traditions in the world.
China is already the world's largest tea exporter. The inclusion of the country's traditional tea-making process on the UNESCO list will obviously generate practical benefits for tea makers in the country and across the world as more resources are given to protect and preserve such millennia-old tea culture and technical practices. As additional attention is brought to this traditional technique, the Chinese tea sector will further tap its potential and improve its growth.
As one of China's oldest cultural practices, traditional tea processing techniques show the spirit of modesty (谦逊), peace, and comity (礼让). No matter your preference for green or dark tea, with milk or without, Chinese tea isn't just brews. Instead, it is a bridge connecting different cultures and peoples.
(1)、What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A、Chinese tea has a fresh taste. B、Chinese tea has a rich variety. C、Chinese tea has a long history. D、Chinese tea is added with spices.(2)、How does the author find about Chinese tea?A、Hopeful. B、Objective. C、Careless. D、Disapproving.(3)、What is the best title for the text?A、Chinese Tea Benefits the Globe a Lot B、Chinese Protect and Develop Its Tea Culture C、Chinese Tea Is Included in the UNESCO List D、China Plays a Vital Part in Cultural Diversity(4)、Where is the text probably taken from?A、A news report. B、A book review. C、A culture magazine. D、A science fiction. -

While Henry worked to buy a car, Hua Kuan had a car to sell. Kuan was born and lived in Mexico for about 13 years. His parents had immigrated there from China.

Kuan's family headed north to California in the late 1990s. A few years later, he was awarded a full scholarship to UC Berkeley. During Kuan's junior year, his proud parents bought him a first car.
Kuan's parents were blue-collar workers, and worked very hard for their money. They bought the car for their son, which was the only gift they were able to provide for him. And Kuan had been driving that car since it was brand new for about 14 years.
However, Kuan is a 35-year-old dentist now. His friends convinced him to upgrade his ride, so he listed his beloved car for sale on Craigslist. By chance, Henry saw the ad for the black car with gold wheels and over 150,000 miles. However, it was priced at $

19、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Fish cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish. They are like tigers and lions, only much smaller, around twice the size of our average pet cats. They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove forests of South and Southeast Asia. Like many endangered species, fish cats were in danger of extinction more than twenty years ago, mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people's cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.
Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species, like fish cats, turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can protect soil, and they can be the first line of protection between storms, tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them. The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2 than other forests. So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.
Ten years ago, in South India, many people came together to change the future of their home. In less than 10 years, with international support, the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangoves. Now experts are working with them in helping study and protecting the mangroves as well as the species living in them. Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes, turtles and other species in mangoves. The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plant mangroves where they have been lost. A win-win-win for fish cats, local people and the global ecosystem is being built.
(1)、What made the fish cats endangered?A、Natural enemies and environmental pollution. B、Cutting of mangroves and lack of water. C、Less fish and overcutting of mangroves. D、Being too large and need for fish food.(2)、Why are mangroves so important?A、They can take in more CO2 effectively. B、They can prevent extreme weather. C、They help plants grow better on the soil. D、They are perfect home to all species.(3)、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A、Ways of evolving farms into forests. B、Changes of South India in 10 years. C、Work in protecting shrimps. D、Efforts to protect the mangroves.(4)、What's the best title for the text?A、The importance of mangroves B、Fish cats and mangrove protection C、Ways to protect fish cats D、Man and nature -
20、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack, and where millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cyber-security may well be mapping your brain.
Researchers at Binghamton University are working on a biometric(生物特征的)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 e-mail or your social media accounts.
They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjects. The subjects were fitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols—celebrity faces, words, pictures of food—on a computer screen in 200-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 same procedure, and the results are matched to their first-time reaction. If the "brainprint" is cracked—like what happened to the fingerprint records—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 professor Laszlo.
Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 per cent accurate. So one of the most 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 materials and different methods to see if they can bring the cost down.
(1)、What does the underlined word "brainchild" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A、The brain function. B、The biometric system. C、The fingerprint record. D、The online password.(2)、Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjects?A、To match brainprints with pictures. B、To check the brain's reaction. C、To create their brainprints. D、To connect brain waves to electrodes.(3)、What will happen when a brainprint fails?A、A new one will be set again. B、A spare one will be ready beforehand. C、The users' security will be threatened. D、The fingerprint record will replace it.(4)、What are the researchers doing with the programme now?A、Improving its accuracy. B、Making it user-friendly. C、Recording more brainprints. D、Increasing the number of electrodes.
