Time magazine listed its top inventions of 2019, some of which will surely become a big part of our everyday lives over the next decade. Here are some we're most looking forward to. ●Virtual （虚拟的）surgery According to Harvard Business Review, our current system of training surgeons can't keep up with the speed of technological development. “Even after 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school and 5 years of advanced training after working, 30% of graduates still can't operate on their own,” said Justin Barad, who is the CEO and co-founder of Osso VR. This VR software is made to give doctors virtual operating-room experience so they can practice and prepare for surgeries. Apparently, it works. Gideon Blumstein of California University conducted a study on using Osso VR. His team found that participants' overall surgical performance improved by an astonishing 230% over traditional training methods. ● Vending veggies （出售素食） "Eat happier. ” That's the Farmers Fridge advertising message. It is a good one, as this company wants to bring fresh, healthy food to people on the go. It's trying to change more than just food, though. It also wants to change the delivery method. Farmers Fridge has created its very own automatic machines. They can be placed in high-traffic areas. These super-smart vending machines can know their contents at any moment, and can allow customers to reserve and pay in advance. They can even learn about what customers want. Shayna Harris is the company's Chief Growth Officer. “We have developed salads, sandwiches and breakfast items that taste as fresh as if you were to make them in your home kitchen,” she said in an interview with Insider Trends. ● Recycling pollution When we write with black ink, we're writing with soot — a powder made by burning coal or oil. Cars are machines that produce soot. To collect the soot, Anirudh Sharma, creator of AIR-INK, made a device called Kaalink, which attaches to a vehicle’s exhaust pipe （排气管）.Once collected, it's made into ink color and mixed with vegetable oil to create inks, markers and paints with the brand AIR-INK. “I don't know if it's pollution, but the quality of the ink is really special,” said artist Kristopher Ho. “It's black, really thick and dries extremely quickly.” The Guardian describes AIR-INK as "remarkably green”. Each 30-milliliter pen contains between 40—50 minutes of air pollution, while each 6-liter spray can hold 2,000 minutes of diesel exhaust （柴油废气）. In the past year, Sharma said, his team has cleaned nearly 1.7 trillion （万亿）liters of air in India and Hong Kong. 【1】What can be known about Osso VR? A.It is an assistant to help surgeons do operations. B.It can perform operations on patients automatically. C.It offers doctors a virtual environment to practice surgeries. D.It is a piece of software to help medical students do research. 【2】What makes Farmers Fridge different and special? A.Why its advertisement works. B.What its vending machines sell. C.How its vending machines operate. D.Where its vending machines serve. 【3】What attitude does Kristopher Ho hold toward AIR-INK? A.Doubtful. B.Casual. C.Disapproving. D.Positive. 【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A.To encourage scientists to make technological inventions. B.To tell readers some of the latest inventions in technology. C.To call on people to keep up with technological development. D.To raise everyone's awareness of the environmental protection.

When I heard that Vitaminwater is giving away $100,000 in a contest where the winner has to give up their cellphone for a year in favor of a 1996-era app-free version, my immediate thought was: I could never do that. Even a day would be very difficult for me. I admit that I'm addicted to my iPhone. I sleep with it under my pillow. It's the first thing I reach for in the morning. I've never counted how many times I pick it up during the day, but it's at least several per hour, and often I can't go 5 minutes without looking at it. What am I doing on my phone? Everything, it feels like: making to-do lists, searching for random information, checking e-mails and so on. I've also become attached to social media because somehow it's become vital that I know exactly what my childhood best friend’s cousin is doing. I know the importance of communication in theory. But in practice, I've been scolded more times than I can count by my boyfriend, "You love your phone more than me.” I feel anxious when my phone isn't easily within reach, like life is happening without me. My already high general level of anxiety increases if I don't feel as informed as I can possibly be. I'm tricked by my phone’s simplicity. I'll just look at it while I'm in the bathroom or waiting in line at a store. Those few minutes that seem harmless enough likely represent the whole days’ worth of time when I could have been reading books or simply letting my mind relax. The possibility of going even a day without my smartphone fills me with fear. And yet it upsets me that I've become completely dependent on this technological advancement. So, on second thoughts, I'm going to enter the contest. And even if I don't win, I promise to limit my phone usage to 15 minutes a day in May, for a start. So this May, I'm going conservative. I hope I remember how. 【1】How did the author react when hearing about the contest? A.She declared it would be meaningless. B.She decided to participate in it eagerly. C.She thought it would be a challenge for her. D.She was quite confident of winning a great prize. 【2】What is the result of the author's frequent use of her cellphone? A.It gets her dependent on her cellphone. B.It makes her do shopping online easily. C.It helps her keep in touch with her friends. D.It gives her an easy way to get information. 【3】What can be the best title for the passage? A.Getting Addicted To Cellphone B.Entering Cellphone-free Contest C.Bringing Cellphone Under Control D.Laying Down Cellphone For Contest

Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time. My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”. Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, " What's this?" I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his legs were giving out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up. Some people simply love paper ― the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough!" My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think. Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. "Because it's print!" she said. "I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ' Why don't you just subscribe to the online version? '” She shook her head in disbelief. My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers. 【1】How did the author's husband feel when a girl asked a question in the park? A.Shocked. B.Thrilled. C.Disappointed. D.Confused. 【2】What does the author probably mean by saying “his legs were giving out” ？ A.He was feeling tired and needed a rest. B.He was very old and unable to stand long. C.He almost lost his balance and became unconscious. D.He was annoyed with the girl and played a trick on her. 【3】What does the author intend to tell us with the example of the young mother? A.Many young people follow an old-fashioned lifestyle. B.It's inconvenient for the old to read online newspapers. C.There're still young people who love printed newspapers. D.Printed newspapers will be replaced by online newspapers. 【4】What does the author mainly talk about in the passage? A.The new rise of digital newspapers on the line. B.A man's everlasting love for printed newspapers. C.The pleasure of looking through daily newspapers. D.A family's memory of reading printed newspapers.

"When I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, an engineer who designed the world's first ocean plastic cleanup system. Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme. It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat created the Ocean Cleanup, an environmental non¬governmental organization, and put his plan for an ocean cleanup device into action. After years of research and develop¬ment in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-meter-long C-shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device. A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt（挡板）attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled. Right now, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is 3 times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years. "It remains to be seen whether this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused," Slat said. "We are starting to see a young generation that gets it and is excited about a sustainable （可持续的）future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?" 【1】The underlined word “match” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”. A.compare B.equal C.measure D.cover 【2】Why did Boyan Slat create the Ocean Cleanup? A.To collect ocean plastic waste. B.To help to invent System 001/B. C.To protect the living environment of fish. D.To do research on the ocean environment. 【3】What can we know about System 001/B? A.It can collect and recycle garbage at the same time. B.It can only gather ocean waste which floats on the water. C.It aims to clear up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years. D.It is an ocean-cleaning device which has already been put to use. 【4】What does Slat want to tell us according to the last paragraph? A.Young generations care less about the environment. B.The future ecology of the oceans is deeply worrying. C.People should work hard to decrease plastic pollution. D.It's quite difficult to repair the damage to the environment.

As fear exists in China and the world over the spreading COVID-19（新冠肺炎），business owners worldwide are all feeling the pain. Uncertainty and lack of confidence have always been among the big enemies of economies. And now the universal economy is still under great pressure. 【1】 As countries issue warnings and travel bans, the tourism and services are most affected. In 2018, around 140 million Chinese made outbound trips according to the China Tourism Academy. 【2】 It is thus not surprising that local hotels, restaurants and travel agencies in cities like New York and London are also suffering losses from the virus fallout. According to a New York Times report, Chinatown in Manhattan has seen business drop of 50 to 70 percent. A hotel owner who relies on Chinese customers said that the loss could be well over 100,000 dollars and climbing. Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, is also warning the outbreak could pose a “new risk” to the US economy. The economic cost of the COVID-19 outbreak is growing and hard to estimate（估计）. 【3】During the 2003 SARS, which lasted around 7 months, it is estimated that economic losses worldwide affected by the outbreak were over 30 billion dollars. The ripple effect（连锁反应）spread across the Atlantic to Toronto, the most severely affected area in Canada. It is estimated that the city will lose about 950 million dollars due to the restrictions on travel. 【4】 It started in Mexico and America in 2009. While the Americas were most affected by the virus, research has also found that the economic cost of the virus in Korea was as high as 1 billion dollars. In this interconnected world, any pandemic（流行病）is worldwide. Various economists have pointed out that most economic costs are not related to the virus directly, but the panic over it. Lack of confidence can also worsen the fragile world economy. 【5】 A.But one can always learn from history. B.It's time to ban the wildlife trade for good. C.The last thing the world needs is a virus outbreak. D.China is a much bigger economy than it was in 2003. E.The same thing also happened during the flu A ( H1N1) outbreak. F.In recent years they have created about a quarter of tourism jobs worldwide. G.So, it's very important for countries to work together to control its outbreak.

Once I saw a post offering a wonderful course in German, and that was just what I decided to take from a new language. While the room for classes was quite small, but there was a whole world of language to explore. Our teacher, Mrs. Haus, was a tall, thin and quiet lady. I'll never forget the day which she introduced herself. She never once raised voice, but the minute she began to speak, the room fell silently. Why? She loved German and its culture - and everybody in her classes couldn't help but fell in love with the language, too. We all admire the way she talked about different German foods and tradition. Then I realized what makes the good teacher. It's someone who is in love with what he or she is teaching!
