This happened several years ago when I was still quite new in the city. I was doing my grocery shopping one day, and when I wanted to pay for my things, it turned out that I didn't have enough funds on my bank account for the things I’d chosen. It seemed something had been paid from my account that I had forgotten about. I was so embarrassed and ashamed. There was a queue forming behind me. I became very flustered（慌乱的）and very close to tears. I tried to quickly pick some things out that weren’t so urgent for me to buy. The cashier（收银员）, a patient, elderly man, saw how upset I was and gently said, “Please, don't worry about picking out groceries to leave behind and you can pay me back for the difference another day.” I immediately refused since I didn't know him, but he insisted he would pay for the difference because he also had daughters and sometimes life could be hard. I thanked him greatly while I packed my things. I asked him what his name was so I could bring the money another day. He said, “Just ask for Baba（Father）and everyone calls me that here.” I came back a few days later with the money, a thank-you card, and some homemade cookies. I asked a young salesman if he'd seen the old man and he immediately told me, “Oh! That must be Baba!” It was clear that he was very familiar with him. I explained what had happened and he nodded. "Yes, that is something he would do. He is a bit of an extra father to all of us working here, too. He isn't working today but I will make sure he gets this." Thank you, Baba, for looking out for me that day, and for taking good care of your coworkers, too! I think it is people like Baba that make the world beautiful. 【1】What happened to the author as she went shopping? A.She forgot to bring money with her. B.She regretted choosing something expensive. C.She couldn't afford the goods she had picked. D.She couldn’t remember the password of her account. 【2】What did the author try to do to solve her problem? A.To make herself calm down. B.To give up some high-priced things. C.To remove some items less necessary. D.To take out all the goods she had chosen. 【3】Which of the following probably can best describe the old cashier? A.Shy and honest. B.Talented and friendly. C.Generous and hardworking. D.Kind and warm-hearted. 【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Every job is meaningful. B.We need people like “Baba". C.Giving is a kind of happiness. D.An embarrassing shopping experience. |

Today we communicate over the Internet all the time. In this blog post, I want to discuss how we keep our Internet communications well protected. "How are the mobile apps safe?" I can hear you ask. It is a good question. They all use encryption（加密）to make sure no one else can eavesdrop on your messages with your friends, family, and business partners. Apple is one of the first to do this for its users; however, it started encrypting the message between iCloud users and the shortcoming is that the encryption only works between iCloud users. Many of us are used to being able to take our computers down to the local coffee shop or with us when we travel, connect to any Wi-Fi, and then keep doing what we always do on the Internet. What you may not be aware of, however, is that public Wi-Fi is not encrypted. Anything done on those wireless networks can be known by some bad people. So how do you protect the wireless? It can be protected by using a Virtual Private Network（VPN）. As with the encryption protection for E-Mail and messaging, there are a lot of VPN providers out there that don't cost a lot of money. Any person or organization can research and decide which one is best for their needs. Using a free VPN isn't suggested. Free VPN providers can be uncertain because they get much of their pay through pushing ads to their users. And they can follow and record what to do, which kind of fails the purpose of using a VPN in the first place. Returning to how a VPN can protect your communications, we could go into a lot of details about what a VPN does, but we will keep it simple instead. Unlike the protection above, which is very specific, a VPN works by creating a passage between you and a distant server. This passage is encrypted, which means that everything you send through it is protected from being listened. This can be especially useful if you are working at a coffee shop or an airport. 【1】Where does the text probably come from? A.A website. B.A guidebook. C.A personal diary. D.A scientific magazine. 【2】What does the underlined phrase "eavesdrop on" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Care about. B.Miss out on. C.Get something by accident. D.Listen secretly to something. 【3】What is the disadvantage of using the encryption of Apple? A.It works slowly. B.It costs you too much. C.It is unsafe sometimes. D.It is limited to certain user. 【4】Paragraph 4 implies that a free VPN . A.requires extra fees for long-time usage B.may cause risks to personal information C.pushes ads according to your interest D.fails to be encrypted sometimes |

We all should let the sunshine in as much as possible not just because it makes us feel good. Exposure to sunlight produces vitamin D in our skin. This is why we call vitamin D the "sunshine vitamin”. Vitamin D is good for everybody. In fact, research shows this "sunshine vitamin" could help women with breast cancer live longer. Breast cancer patients who have high blood levels of vitamin D have a better prognosis（预后）than women who don't. A prognosis is how quickly a doctor expects a patient to recover or how long a doctor expects a patient to live. Researchers found that these women had less aggressive cancers. They were also 30 percent less likely to die from the cancer or to get it again. Researcher Song Yao led the study for the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. He said the study showed that high vitamin D levels improved the patients' prognosis no matter what type or how advanced their cancer was. Besides fighting breast cancer, vitamin D helps the body in other ways. Most importantly, vitamin D controls how the body absorbs calcium（钙）.It also makes sure the body's immune（免疫的）system works normally. Several studies show that vitamin D also strengthens the immune system and helps the body fight disease. Vitamin D may help reduce your risk of developing heart disease, according to a 2008 study published in the journal Circulation. And it may also help protect you against getting the flu. Other studies have shown that vitamin D might help people suffering from depression. Factors in the environment may limit our exposure to sunlight and, therefore, vitamin D. These factors include pollution, using too much sunscreen, spending too much time inside and living in areas with little sunlight. So if you can't get enough sunshine, eat foods that are rich in vitamin D： egg yolks, cheese and fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, tuna or mackerel. How much vitamin D you need is a much-debated topic. The best way to know if you need more vitamin D is to get tested by a doctor. 【1】Which of the following is TRUE for the women with high blood levels of vitamin D according to the research? A.They can recover from cancer earlier. B.They may never get cancer again. C.They may have less aggressive breast cancers. D.They may live longer with it than women without. 【2】The benefits of vitamin D are not, A.strengthening the immune system B.killing cancer cells C.promoting the absorption of calcium D.protecting against getting the flu 【3】What can people do to get more vitamin D? A.Eat more food and do more exercise. B.Get exposure to more sunlight and eat foods rich in it. C.Drink more water and eat more foods rich in it. D.Eat more food and keep positive. 【4】How does the author support the theme of the passage? A.By providing research results. B.By stating arguments. C.By explaining statistical data. D.By giving examples. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 This past summer, I joined my sister's family for their annual Adirondack vacation in a rented cottage on a lake, the same place my family has stayed since I was a little kid. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy: swimming, fishing and sand castle building on the beach. By the third day, I had noticed that my ten-year-old niece, Jannie, had spent most of her time watching cable TV and browsing through the gift shops in town. Not exactly the wilderness experience I remembered from my youth. So, at dinner, I told Jannie we should hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, which was called Rocky Point because the peak is bare and rock-covered. "Well." replied Jannie, "Tomorrow there are some shows on the Disney Channel, so I'm going to be pretty busy." "When your mother and I used to come here when we were your age, we were too busy swimming and hiking up mountains." "Sounds more like punishment than a vacation." She shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, I don't think I can walk that far." When I said it only took a half-hour of steady walking to get to the top. She grumbled, "Fine, I'll go." I knew she was agreeing just to shut me up, but I would take anything I could get. The next morning was a perfect day for a hike, with sunshine and clear skies. I got up early and took some sandwiches and water bottles, which I tucked into my backpack along with the bug spray and the camera. Jannie came shuffling downstairs, sighed dramatically, rolled her eyes and announced in a very unenthusiastic, robot-like voice. "I'm ready to go hiking, Uncle David." Anyway, we climbed into my car and drove to the trailhead about ten minutes away. As we stood at the edge of the parking lot and looked down the shaded trail that led into the woods. "I am still not sure this is a good idea, but if you and Mom could do it, I can too, I guess." 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph l: For the moment she was determined to start our journey. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A while later we did it to the top. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
