A
How cold is too cold to keep schools open? The question is being raised, at least in the Northeast, where the temperature is way below zero.
Keith Marty, superintendent(主管)of the Parkway School District in Missouri, published a letter to parents saying: “it is always challenging to balance my desire to have children in school and also my desire to keep them safe.” Location can affect closure decisions: children in Minnesota are accustomed to cold winter temperatures, but kids in the South aren’t. Also at play are concerns about state student attendance requirement and traffic issues, such as how long students have to wait outdoors for a bus, as well as health dangers caused by the cold and the condition of many old or poorly equipped school buildings.
And many districts worry about students who receive most or all of their meals at school and who have working parents who can't stay home with them. Matt Guilfoyle, spokesman for Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) in Virginia, said in an email that his school system “strongly believes students are better served by being in school. FCPS also considers the nearly 56,000 students who receive free and reduced-price meals each day at school. If schools are open and a
parent does not believe it is safe for his or her child, the parent should keep the child at home for an excused absence.”
A few years ago, Chicago public schools closed when the National Weather Service said temperatures would feel, with wind chill(风寒), like 30 degrees below zero. But they opened the next day even though the temperature didn't rise much. A Chicago lawyer named William Choslovsky wrote an opinion piece in Chicago Tribune mocking the schools for closing when Milwaukee schools stayed open with cold temperatures. “Consider this the continued wussification(娘娘腔)of society,” he wrote. “Our kids can go to school. Considering that so few even walk anymore, what difference does the temperature make?”
Still, sometimes, the temperatures demand school closure, at least in the eyes of school district officials. Buffalo officials decided to close schools for Friday, with the forecast calling for temperatures at around zero degrees, with wind chill making it feel more like 20 degrees below zero.
21. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. Waiting for a school bus can be dangerous.
B. Many school buildings are too old to function.
C. Parents and schools differ on school closure.
D. School closure decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
22. What was Matt Guilfoyle trying to express in his email?
A. Opening school is good for students.
B. FCPS offers excellent food for students.
C. Some parents are irresponsible caregivers.
D. Some parents prevent schools from opening.
23. What's the best title for the text?
A. Are students strong enough?
B. When is it too cold for school?
C. Is the weather getting colder and colder?
D. What are the schools doing to face cold weather?
B
UK consumers spent a record £7.2bn in 2017 on all forms of music, video and games, for
CDs, DVDs, and vinyl records(黑胶唱片)to console(控制台)software and subscriptions to music and TV streaming services. That surpassed the £7.1bn spent by consumers on "printed word" books, magazines and newspapers for the first time, according to figures published by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA).
The research, prepared by the Leisure Industries Research Centre (LIRC) at Sheffield Hallam University, credits the “dramatic growth” in the popularity of paid-for digital services such as Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Deezer and Spotify as the key factor behind booming sales of entertainment.
ERA Chief Executive Officer Kim Bayley said: “It is an extraordinary proof of the appeal of digital entertainment services that they have helped home entertainment to this milestone since the invention of the printing press.
“The success of the UK entertainment market is ultimately the result of collaboration between the creatives, studios and labels that produce compelling(扣人心弦的)content and the retailers and services that bring it to the public.
Dr. Themis Kokolakakis from the LIRC added: “The 2008—2009 recession hurt both the entertainment and reading market. Since 2012, the entertainment market has recovered very strongly, producing record 2017 results.
“Traditional media is under pressure, partly because of the growth of streaming services, partly because there is so much competition for people’s time and attention. Entertainment has grown while reading has stagnated(停滞).”
The ERA said the statistics showed the dramatic change in consumer habits as they shifted form buying physical products to digital consumption and formats.
Five years ago, 80% of revenues were generated by “buy to own” formats such as DVDs and CDs. Now 56% of revenues come from digital sources including video streaming, electronic movie rental, subscriptions, online multiplayer games and in-app and mobile purchases.
Two physical products, however, have bucked the downward sales trend. The vinyl revival(重新流行)is still going strong with sales up 34 percent to £87.7m. Sales of boxed software for games consoles have also made a comeback, rising by 5% to £750m— the first growth in a decade.
The ERA’s Bayley commented: “Digital services may be grabbing the headlines, but
physical retailers continue to identify new opportunities to drive sales of discs.
“Vinyl is a prime example of retailers nurturing demand for a product most people had long written off. It would be foolish to underestimate consumers' continuing affection for the physical products.”
24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. There are various entertainments for UK consumers.
B. The printing press has to find ways to satisfy consumers.
C. More attention must be paid to the development of traditional media.
D. Revenues from entertainment are more than those of the printed word in 2017.
25. According to the LIRC, what plays a critical role in the increase of home-entertainment consuming?
A. The growth of digital services.
B. The change in people's consumption habits.
C. The economic support from the government.
D. The improvement of people's living standards.
26. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 9 implies that ______.
A. the sales of some physical products have gone up
B. the popularity of digital services falls into decline
C. the entertainment market has recovered strongly
D. the prices of some traditional media have been reduced
27. What can we infer from Bayley’s words in the last two paragraphs?
A. It is not wise for the public to ignore traditional media.
B. It is not easy to win the public's affection for physical products.
C. There will be a rise in consumer spending on physical products.
D. Retailers of physical products have made efforts to push the sales of vinyl up.
C
“It can’t be done.” Boyan Slat heard this over and over when he first proposed a way to clean
up millions of tons of plastic polluting our oceans. Almost anyone else would have given up in frustration and despair. But 20-year-old Slat hasn't been discouraged but committed to his dream. “Human history is basically a list of things that couldn’t be done, and then were done,” he
says. Today, Slat and his team at The Ocean Cleanup are well on their way to proving the critics wrong. Good news for the planet.
1._______________________________
Slat, who grew up in the city of Delft in the Netherlands, was on a diving trip in Greece three years ago when he was deeply impressed by plastic, “There were more plastic bags than fish,” he says. “That moment I realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems my generation will face.”
That fall, Slat, then 17, decided to study plastic pollution as part of a high school project. Soon, Slat learned that no one had yet come up with practical way to clean up this massive garbage patches. Most proposed solutions involved “fishing” up the plastic using ships equipped with nets—which, as Slat discovered, would likely take more than 1,000 years, cost too much, let off too much sea life along with the trash.
Slat proposed an alternative that mostly avoided these problems— a solar-powered system using a floating plastic tube which will go around the garbage and trap it is 600 meters long, A big screen hangs down from it, about three metres into the water. Wind, waves and ocean currents will push the trash toward the tube. (Fish can swim under the screen) A ship will pick up the trash and take it back to the shore to sort and recycle it into oil and other products. Best of all, Slat predicted his system could clean up the North Pacific Garbage Patch between California and Hawaii where a lot of floating garbage exists, within five to 10 years.
2.______________________________
The following fall, Slat entered the aerospace engineering program at the Delft University of Technology and officially announced his ocean cleanup concept at TEDx Delft. But nothing much moved forward.
Slat found himself continually absent-minded in classes, looking for ways. to improve his concept. “It wouldn’t let go. I finally decided to put both university and my social life on hold to focus all my time on developing this idea. I wasn’t sure if it would succeed, but considering the scale of problem I thought it was important to at least try.” He says.
With this family’s blessing, Slat began in earnest organizing a team of volunteers and
employees for The Ocean Cleanup, which now numbers about 100.
3.______________________________
In answer to opposition, Slat and his team raised $100,000 from a crowdfunding campaign and began testing a 40-meter collecting barrier near the Azores Islands last March. In June, they released a 500+ page possibility study.
Over the next three to four years, Slat will push toward a fully operational large-scale project by testing a series of longer and longer barriers. He’s currently seeking to crowd fund $2 million to finance it. Incidentally, The Ocean Cleanup is also working on a plan to stop plastic from washing into the oceans in the first place. “It’s just the other problem that is equally important.” Slat says. “It’s something everyone is able to help with, and we also have some technologies in the pipeline.”
As for school, Slat doesn’t miss it — except maybe for the social-part, which he hopes to (恢复) a bit once his team takes on more of the workload. ” I don’t have time for things like that right now, but I really can’t complain. I can imagine doing something more fun than being able to have an idea and then actually making it into a reality.” he says.
28. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. An introduction to the main topic.
B. An overview of the whole article
C. The background information of the story
D. Raising a problem for later solution
29. Which of the following shows the correct order of the three missing subtitles?
a. But is it possible?
b. Drowning in plastic
c. An idea wouldn’t die
A. a-b-c B. c-b-a C. b-a-c D. b-c-a
30. What inspired the boy to study plastic pollution?
A. One of his high school projects.
B. Others’ opposition to his proposal.
C. Humans’ failure in cleaning up the ocean.
D. The shockingly heavy plastic pollution in ocean.
31. What can we say about Slat’s design?
A. It is powerful but only used in California and Hawaii
B. It is huge but causes great damage to sea lives
C. It makes full use of natural forces and is friendly to nature.
D. It was welcomed by all the public and worked very well.
32. Which of the following quotes best displays Slat’s strong will and confidence?
A. “Human history is basically a list of things that couldn’t be done, and then were done.”
B. “That was the moment I realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems my generation will face.”
C. “I finally decided to put both university and my social life on hold to focus all my time on developing this idea.”
D. “It’s something everyone is able to help with, and we also have some technologies in the pipeline.”
33. What does the author mainly do in this article?

Chopsticks(筷子)come in many different shapes and styles, and have been around since 1200 B.C.E. The utensils(器具)earned their place at the Chinese dinner table around 400 B.C.E. More than 20 percent of the world’s population relies on chopsticks for eating. China alone uses 45 billion disposable(一次性的)pairs per year. 34
China was the first to experiment with chopsticks nearly 3000 years ago. 35 The Chinese used them for cooking since they could dip them into boiling pots of water. Then China’s population boomed. Cooks were forced to conserve resources, which meant chopping foods into tiny bites that used less fuel to cook. Bite sized foods, paired with Chinese philosopher and vegetarian Confucius’ anti-knife beliefs, set up the utensils for widespread adoption beyond China.
36 Chinese chopsticks, for instance, are long and thick “to facilitate dining around the
table,” Ruixi Hu, founder of Lost Plate Food Tours, says. Hu grew up in Chengdu, China, where she first used chopsticks at age 2. She now goes on food tours throughout Asia and she’s found many chopstick varieties.
In Japan, where bamboo chopsticks were adopted in 500 C.E., chopsticks have evolved over time. They’re now particularly fine-tuned for one of Japan’s main foods: fish. “Japanese chopsticks are short and sharp, mainly because the Japanese are good at eating fish, and it is easy to remove fish bones with sharp chopsticks,” Hu says. 37 That’s why their chopsticks don’t need to be as long.
Head over to South Korea where chopsticks look a bit different. 38 That’s because South Koreans love barbecue. The metal chopsticks won’t burn when diners are barbecuing their meat.
A. Chopsticks are different throughout Asian cultures.
B. But at that time, they weren’t used as eating utensils.
C. There, chopsticks are flat and typically made of metal.
D. So how did two sticks start a massive mealtime revolution.
E. So why were silver chopsticks gaining popularity overseas?
F. They usually eat their own dishes instead of sharing them with others.
G. On the contrary, disposable wooden chopsticks were first invented by the Japanese in 1878.

The universal use of technology has resulted in a constant current of information interrupting the “flow” of our life. This 39 pattern was initially marketed as “call-waiting” for our phones. But now our eyes, ears, and fingers are glued to our technology 24/7. We are 40 by emails, texts, or the news feeds on our Facebook pages. My friend Ron refers to this technology as “weapons of mass distraction.”
But how is this mass distraction 41 our degree of presence and ability to attend to the everyday demands of life? According to a 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation report, children from
eight to eighteen spend an average of seven hours and thirty-eight minutes a day using entertainment media. In addition, a study published in the August 2010 issue of Pediatrics found that exposure to 42 media was associated with attention problems in a sample of 210 college students.
The 43 is just part of the larger picture. Dealing with a crowd of daily text messages and emails makes it difficult for us to be by ourselves when all that activity stops. Although a sense of 44 is natural at times, our addiction to the nonstop interaction afforded by technology deepens that feeling when access to the technology is unexpectedly 45 . Just think how you feel when you lack cell phone or web access. Is it possible that our obsession with continually checking our emails and text messages has contributed to our 46 to genuinely relate with others and find enjoyment without constant stimulation?
Aside from the impact of technology on our 47 and our ability to be at ease in the absence of our technology, let’s examine how interacting with our devices 48 the development of our fundamental communication and social skills. Many researchers observe that everyday conversation between human beings is becoming increasingly 49 .
Many of today’s children are growing up with a built-in dependence on devices, making it difficult for them to feel 50 in everyday social situations. Often they find it 51 to make eye contact or deal with even the simplest face-to-face interactions without the aid of technology as an intermediary(媒介).
Over time these children forget how to relate with each other because they have become habituated to using technology to 52 direct contact with others and life itself. 53 , some neuroscientists believe that use of the internet actually rewires our brains.
39. A. innovative B. pleasant C. typical D. disturbing
40. A. isolated B. flooded C. informed D. promoted
41. A. affecting B. enhancing C. highlighting D. establishing
42. A. print B. screen C. news D. online
43. A. attention B. association C. demand D. distraction
44. A. belonging B. independence C. loneliness D. simplicity

A Bowl of Noodles
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man,
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle ( 狼吞虎咽 ) up the delicious food...then cried silently.
“What is it? ”asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her? ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
Paragraph 2:
Her mother came back home, which called her mind back.

Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. "Where could my mother be?" she wondered, "was she still angry with me?" Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. "Here you come! I've been looking for you," she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms. "Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me." She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
