There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.‎ Alcohol Shocked? It was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC－1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.‎ Tea China‎ is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC.Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.‎ The Mechanical Clock Have you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.‎ Silk Fabric Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan‎ ‎Province and dates back to 3630 BC.‎ ‎21．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.‎ A．people in the US like alcohol B．beer was popular in the Xia Dynasty C．Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accident D．the author didn't know alcohol is a Chinese invention ‎22．The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show ________.‎ A．ancient Chinese inventors were wiser B．many things in our lives are incomplete C．ancient Chinese people never wasted time D．the invention of the mechanical clock is important ‎23．Which of the following invention has a longer history?‎ A．Alcohol.　　　B．Tea. C．The mechanical clock. D．Silk fabric.‎ B Though 3D printing technology has been available for over two decades，it has not gone mainstream as hoped because of the high cost and slow print speed. But that may change soon，thanks to German sportswear manufacturer Adidas. On December 15,2016，the company revealed Adidas 3D Runners，stylish sports sneakers featuring a 3D printed midsole (鞋底夹层) that provides athletes with the extra cushioning (软垫) needed for optimal performance.‎ Unlike traditional midsoles，these are not a uniform foam (泡沫)，but weblike structures with varied density to take into account the impact areas of the foot.This means that the mesh (网眼) is thicker in the shoe's front and back，both of which hit the ground hard when the athlete runs. A 3Dprinted heel，put into the midsole，eliminates the need for traditional gluing or stitching (缝合)．The shoe upper，made of Primeknit，allows for increased flexibility，stability，and protection in the impact areas.‎ Not surprisingly，the stylish，limited edition black training shoes that were only available for sale in New York City，London，and Tokyo and cost $333，were an instant hit and sold out within hours of their release. Though not affordable or available to the mass market，the radical shoes are an encouraging step in the right direction for more widespread use of the technology.‎ While printing 3D objects may sound complicated，the process is relatively ‎ straightforward.Once the design is downloaded to a printer，a laser creates a layer of material，usually plastic or metal.Successive layers are deposited above one another and fused together until the product is complete.The technology can be used to build everything，from shoe soles to a microwave oven.There is currently even an effort underway to make a printer that is large enough to create the cement layers required to build a house.‎ ‎24．3D printed midsoles are different from ordinary ones in that ________.‎ A．they are made of uniform foam B．they are held together with glue C．the meshes are larger than ordinary ones D．they are like webs with different density ‎25．The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”．‎ A．catch up with　　　　 B．get related to C．be connected with D．get rid of ‎26．From Paragraph 3 we can infer that ________.‎ A．the shoes sold well B．the shoes were relatively cheap C．the shoes can satisfy the need of the market D．the company can mass produce the shoes ‎27．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A．What a 3D printer is.‎ B．How a 3D printer works.‎ C．How complicated the process is.‎ D．What size a 3D printer is.‎ C ‎ There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. Did you know that unintentional injury(意外伤害) is the leading cause of death in children 14 years old and under with a third of them happening in the home? One of the top reasons a child under the age of three will visit an emergency room is because of household injuries and sadly, 70% of children who die from unintentional injuries are under the age of four. ‎ Every room in the home will have its own set of child safety problems. Two of the main danger zones are the kitchen and the bathroom. ‎ Before I became a young mother, I crawled (爬) around the house on my hands and knees to see things from a child’s perspective(视角). You would be amazed at what you can discover by doing something so simple. We didn’t have toilet covers. A child is top heavy because their heads are bigger than their bodies and can easily fall into the toilet.‎ You might be surprised with the number of children falling out of windows every year, especially during the summer months. Something as simple as a child leaning against a window screen can result in a serious injury. The best way to prevent this type of injury is by setting up a child safety window guard. ‎ As parents, we do the best we can by providing as much protection as possible to make sure of the safety of children. And as there are so many products out there to help us do this, there is nothing like good old-fashioned supervision(监护). So, use common sense and products that help to keep your child safe, and you will have provided a safe environment for your children.‎ ‎28. What’s the main reason for death in children under 14 according to Paragraph 1?‎ A. Age problems. B. No sense of safety. ‎ C. Danger areas. D. Unexpected injuries.‎ ‎29. Why did the writer crawl around the house on hands and knees?‎ A. To cover the toilet. B. To protect her child. ‎ C. To look for something. D. To discover danger from a child’s point.‎ ‎30. What should we do to protect children from falling out of windows?‎ A. Keep away from a window. B. Place a safety window guard. ‎ C. Move away the window screen. D. Lean against the window firmly.‎ ‎31. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?‎ A. Tips on keeping children safe. B. Products for children. ‎ C. Growth speed of children. D. Ways to look after children. ‎ D Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated(声控的) home assistant powered by artificial intelligence(AI). Alexa comes with the Amazon ‎ Echo device（回波装置）. And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. After being reported on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!‎ Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, people don’t often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom(繁荣) in voice shopping in the near future. ‎ Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you’re cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without assistance.‎ But voice shopping has its downsides. Unwanted things aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The surprising thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits? What if someone hacks(非法侵入) the device? What if someone hacks smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time? ‎ ‎32. What is Alexa?‎ A. A TV reporter. B. A friend of Brooke. ‎ C. A voice-activated device. D. A cookie maker.‎ ‎33. What can you learn from Paragraph 2?‎ A. Alexa is the best AI device.‎ B. People buy various things through voice shopping.‎ C. People use Bixby mainly for listening to music.‎ D. Voice shopping may have a bright future.‎ ‎34. What’s the author’s attitude towards Alexa devices?‎ A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative. ‎ ‎35. What’s the best title of the text?‎ A. How did Brooke’ wishes come true? ‎ B. How sweet is the voice shopping? ‎ C. How can we start voice shopping? ‎ D. What convenience do Alexa devices bring?‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Many students want to know the best ways to improve their learning. Here are a few useful methods.‎ Focus ‎ One of the best ways to organize your study session is to use the Pomodoro Technique. 36 The idea is to use a timer. Let's say, you set the timer for 20 minutes, and focus only on your studies during that time. You cannot check email, or do anything aside from your task. When the timer goes off, you can reward yourself by listening to some music or having a drink of tea. ‎ Test yourself When you are studying, you should test yourself often. 37 You can also find all kinds of online tests for many subjects.‎ Interleaving ‎ 38 For example, in one study period you might spend time testing yourself on vocabulary words and then test yourself on grammar. Or, if studying math, you could mix multiplication(乘法) and division(除法) problems. It may be better for long-term learning.‎ Teaching Teaching is also a powerful way to learn. 39 Some did not expect to have to teach information, while others did. When they actually teach a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material.‎ Closing thoughts You can create your own plan based on what you need to learn. You might organize your study periods with the Pomodoro technique. Then, you can test yourself and interleave different topics. There are many choices. 40 ‎ A. Researchers compared different groups of students.‎ B. In other words, they only study one topic at a time.‎ C. This method is a technique that means you mix different topics.‎ D. All of these techniques can be put together to make a powerful study plan.‎ E. It is a powerful, but simple method that helps people focus on a task.‎ F. When you focus and do tasks that are at the right difficulty level, your brain will become tired.‎ G. If you are using a textbook, then you can do practice questions from the end of each chapter.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ I’d never been to a Day of the Dead festival before.
