love，”said Lauryn Tharpe，one of the four student curators(馆长)who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together．“There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people．”‎ ‎“Everyday DC”was inspired by a popular Instagram Feed called Everyday Africa，which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa，from their perspective(视角)，showing a different story than their professional work．The goal of the online photo“exhibition”was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa，as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news． ‎ In Washington DC，students took photos to reflect their lives there．Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs，from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’favorite foods．Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher，Maame Bawuah，who coordinated(协调)the project for DC Public Schools．‎ ‎“I have a lot of amazing students，although the four of them are quite exceptional，”said Bawuah，who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management．‎ A curator is someone who collects，organizes，cares for and displays anything in a collection．To get ready for the exhibition，the curators had to take care of many tasks，including taking

could be used to control computers，smartphones and other devices，its creators say．It has been jointly developed by Tianjin University and China Electronics Corporation．‎ This kind of brain-computer interface(接口)is designed to let a person control a computer，a smartphone or other electronic devices using his／her brainwaves alone—without needing any forms of verbal orders，movements，or button pressing．Brain interfaces would not only allow for the faster operation of various technologies，but also be used to assist people with disabilities? for example by letting an individual drive an electric wheelchair just by thinking．‎ ‎“Brain-computer interfaces hold a promising future．”said Dong Ming．“The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology，allowing it to become more portable，wearable and accessible to the general public．”‎ The brain decoding(解码)chip works by picking out minor neural(神经)electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand．“This brain-computer chip has the ability to identify minor neural electrical signals and decode their information efficiently，which can greatly enhance the speed and accuracy of brain-computer interfaces，”said Dr．Dong．‎ Recent technology advances have allowed researchers to develop the Brain Talker chip，so it is smaller and operates faster，more precisely and with greater efficiency than existing brain-computer interfaces．Although it is not clear exactly how the device will be worn，most brain-computer interface devices are worn on the outside of the body，rather than being fixed directly into the user’s brain．Cheng Longlong，a data scientist，said that the research team will attempt to improve the performance of the Brain Talker．One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment，education，self-discipline，security as well as games and entertainment．‎ ‎12．Why do the creators develop the Brain Talker?‎ A．To improve the quality of a smartphone．‎ B．To create more efficient electronic devices．‎ C．To make the computer portable and accessible．‎ D．To assist people to faster drive electronic devices．‎ ‎13．What does Dr．Dong expect of the Brain Talker?‎ A．It has an uncertain future． B．It can record people’s brainwaves．‎ C．It can be widely used by the public． D．It will advance public entertainment．‎ ‎14．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?‎ A．How the chip controls a computer．‎ B．How the brain works with a computer．‎ C．How the brain processes information． ‎ D．How the chip picks out neural electrical signals．‎ ‎15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A．The chip will be worn inside the user’s body．‎ B．It’s too challenging to improve the Brain Talker．‎ C．The performance of the Brain Talker is satisfying．‎ D．Some patients will benefit from the Brain Talker．‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Teach Children the Value of Money As we’re moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular，children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use．Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital．‎ ‎16 Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget．Then，research what things you will buy，work out which items may be better to buy．As you carry out each part of the activity，make sure to save all the receipts，and then evaluate if you managed to stay within，or broke your budget． 17 ‎ Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money． 18 For example，14-year-olds are often making their own beds，so introducing a reward for such a“chore”is not a good idea，however，emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old．These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time，effort and money．Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest． 19 ‎ Coming up with and doing activities or day to day tasks together with your children，is not only much more enjoyable for your children，but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings，interest rates，or allowances．20 That is ‎ bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy．‎ A．That is one of the most important factors for learning．‎ B．Involve them in everyday money management activities．‎ C．This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank．‎ D．Giving your child regular pocket money，big enough to cover basic wants．‎ E．They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending．‎ F．Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best．‎ G．This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children．‎ 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)‎ 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分1 5分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Rabbit Island

I found her with the head of the bed raised, reading from the newspaper, with Otto in her arms, listening adoringly. I will forever cherish the memory of Otto’s touching her face. Eventually, using a walker, Mom began to take walks through the house, followed by Otto. Where she rested, Otto rested. Where she moved, Otto shadowed. Somehow, Otto knew that during those days he became her dog child, giving her life purpose. ‎ Paragraph 2: Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. When we saw the doctor a while ago, “I can’t believe it, Lula,” he said. “I can’t find your cancer and your heart is strong. When your daughter brought you to me, I thought you were a ship that had sailed.” Mom gives the credit to Otto, who continues to share his gift of love―a medicine more powerful than any drug a doctor could prescribe. ‎ 部分答案解析：‎ 阅读 A 本文介绍了四本书。‎ ‎1.
