The first thing I can tell you about Thabo, my South Africa guide, was that he is the world’s worst driver. From the airport to the heart of the city, he did 100 km per hour, bypassing lorries, motorbikes and taxi-vans crowed with people. The second thing was that he knew everybody and everything about Cape Town. This was good for me. On the first day, Thabo took me to the suburbs with unpronounceable names — ORanjezicht — from where you can watch the sun go down on Africa. The next day we went to Cape Flats, the run-down township where the buildings were made of cardboard and rusty (生锈的）iron. It was truly vast — nearly a million people live here, side by side. Skinny dogs slid out of the way as Thabo zoomed along roads of mud and rotting rubbish. Some people waved, others stared. Children ran barefoot by the car. Later that night we walked around the busy Victoria, Cape Town’s most fashionable area. The contrast from the township could not be greater: the smells of cooking rose from the kitchens — Asian, French, Italian. The bars and restaurants were packed, and I soon found out why. Cape Town is a paradise for gourmets (美食家), seafood-lovers and people like me, who just like eating. We went into a charming little pubs, and Thabo told me I couln’t leave Cape Town without trying some Cape seafood, so I did. It’s delicious. On my final morning, we spent an hour sitting outside a cafe. Then we were driving again, experiencing the diverse landscape — green valleys. It was a great way to say goodbye to a place I knew only too briefly. I promised myself, and Thabo, that I would be back. 【1】Why was Thabo considered the worst driver at the beginning? A.He was a real African guide. B.He seemed to drive fast riskily. C.He ignored any vehicle passing by. D.He greeted whoever he knew while driving. 【2】What is the author’s impression of Cape Flats? A.It is a beautiful area. B.It is a lovely country. C.It is an old dirty town. D.It is a fashionable city. 【3】What ddi the author enjoy doing in Victoria? A.Tasting some tasty sea-food. B.Driving fast along muddy roads. C.Observing the sun go down on Africa. D.Visiting the buildings made of cardboard. 【4】How did the author feel when he left Cape Town? A.Excited. B.Uncaring. C.Content. D.Disappointed. |

Smart cities promise to bring better lives, faster transport, cleaner air and lower crime, all through the intelligent use of connected technology, said experts, and after huge investment in the field, China is leading the way. “China’s smart cities market increases about 30 percent year-on-year in 2018, and all the provinces have begun development and construction for smart cities, with more to follow,” said an expert. “Although most cities have started a smart city project, there is no globally unified thinking on the concept and operation of smart cities,” said Franco. Alibaba is now involved in dozens of pilot projects across China, with its open AI (人工智能) platform Tianqing for the ET City Brain system officially launched in September. Set up by its cloud computing subsidiary (子公司), the Brain looks to make the city “think” through AI and cloud computing technologies, and help make the best of public services in real time. Since introducing the technology, Hangzhou’s traffic jam has fallen from the fifth-worst in China in 2016, all the way to 57th place this year. “Now our experiments are mostly for government use, but we truly expect our open AI platform to enter more areas and help citizens live, work and entertain better,” said Hua. In McKinsey Global Institute recent report Smart cities: Digital solutions for a more livable future, they find cities can use smart technologies to improve some key quality life by 10 to 30 percent — numbers that translate into lives saved, fewer crime incidents, a reduced health burden, and carbon emissions. 【1】What can we say about the smart city? A.Its concept has not been accepted by people. B.It can be achieved only by lots of investment. C.The worldwide standard for it has been established. D.Its progress in China is among the best in the world. 【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.Traffic jam. B.Traffic flow. C.AI platform. D.Public services. 【3】Hangzhou is mentioned as an example to show that _______. A.its traffic problem has been settled B.the city has become more intelligent C.its public services have greatly improved D.it has made achievements in smart city construction 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Smart Cities are on the Way B.Outline of the Future Smart Cities C.Hangzhou’s Construction of Smart Cities D.Alibaba Contributes More to Smart Cities |

Small talk is stressful for even the most easy-going people. 【1】 Below, small-talk experts share their best advice on developing good chatting skills. Ask questions. The key to good small talk is asking the other person a lot of questions. But avoid rapid-fire questions. 【2】 Be sure to express your own feelings in response to what they share. Avoid conversation starters like “How have you been?” You could not ask a more awkward question. A better way to produce meaningful conversation is to add “What is new in your life since the last time I saw you? Avoid one-word answers. 【3】 When someone asks you a question, give them something to talk about with you, not a word or two. Fine said, if someone asks you, “How was your summer?”, you can answer, for instance. My summer was great. I’m excited about my vegetable garden. That will give the person something else to ask you about. 【4】 Your facial expression and body language should let the other person know you’re truly listening to them. A recent study showed that people who used hand or head gestures received responses to their questions faster than those who didn’t. Small talk may help you connect with someone new with whom you want to have a more serious talk. 【5】 A.You don’t have to be a reporter. B.Don’t worry about it too much, though. C.You could not ask a more inconvenient question. D.It’s the first step to any meaningful relationship. E.Use your hands to keep the conversation flowing. F.Don’t be a disappointing person in a conversation. G.You should make a conversation with people you like. |
