Technology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them. 5G networks will bring the Internet everywhere The most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service, meaning that instead of having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance（依赖） on wi-fi. Smart needles will detect cancer in moments Right now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations. People will be able to feel things in virtual reality Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.

Dear Dale, I want to be closer to my mom, but whenever I try to share things with her, she doesn’t understand. Skyline Dear Skyline, As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while. If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her. Likewise（同样地）, try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time. Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tired from a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others. Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly. 【1】What is Skyline’s problem? A.She doesn’t live close to her mom. B.She doesn’t share things with her mom. C.Her mom is too busy to spend time with her. D.Her mom doesn’t understand her. 【2】What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem? A.Typical. B.Unusual. C.Strange. D.Tough. 【3】Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood? A.To encourage her mom to talk to her. B.To give her mom time to think of the past. C.To help her know more about her mom. D.To get her a chance to laugh at her mom. 【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline? A.Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own. B.Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother. C.Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home. D.Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom. |

For decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria（疟疾）medicine, finally won the country that honor. In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them. Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops. At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try. After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat. Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl（e 潜水器）. He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific. Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research. 【1】Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage? A.To show one of China’s long-held dreams. B.To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize. C.To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions. D.To introduce more top Chinese scientists. 【2】Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat? A.Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops. B.Because she was expert at wheat engineering. C.Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered. D.Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China. 【3】What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China? A.He teaches about sea at a university. B.He developed Jiaolong submersible. C.He is devoted to genetic engineering. D.He reached the bottom of the ocean. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.China’s Science Stars B.China’s Nobel Prize Dream C.Gao Caixia－China’s Crop Engineer D.Cui Weicheng－China’s Deep Diver |

People do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect. The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica（虚构的）Greek sculptor. Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise. In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers. 【1】Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from? A.A statue of a lady. B.The goddess of love. C.A character in a literary work. D.The story made up by Pygmalion. 【2】The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably means A.worship of B.affection for C.marriage to D.sympathy for 【3】What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research? A.To improve the kids’ IQ. B.To pick out gifted students. C.To expand teachers’ influence. D.To examine the Pygmalion effect. 【4】What can students do to make a teacher excellent? A.Support the teacher by treating them as excellent. B.Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher. C.Work hard to get prepared for opportunities. D.Show great interest in lectures on acting. |
