Like any new ninth-grader on the first day of school, Joemar Class had ninth-grader- emotion (情绪). He’s not used to school in Hartford. He’s used to going to school in his home town of Florida, used to seeing his friends, used to having class in Spanish. “Nervioso,” he said in Spanish. We first met Joemar in mid-October in the San Juan Airport. His father, Guillermo Class, had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed (毁坏) by the deadly storm—Hurricane Maria. Now, they are settling into their new home in Hartford's South End. A week later, and, using his wife's car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to his first day at Bulkeley High School. After a short ride, he got out in front of his new school. Inside, he met Gretchen Levitz—the school's program director. “I see you have new uniform (校服),” Levitz said. “You look great. Are you ready for a good first day?” Then he met couple of teachers. “Hello,” they each said in Spanish. They asked where he's from, and told him they were happy to see him. Then Levitz took him on a quick tour of the school before classes began—to her office the school store, the library, and the dining hall. A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. “We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day,” Levitz said. “So it's not like he's the only one who has that feeling.” “You could tell he's little worried," Guillermo said as we left.” But, at the same time, he's looking forward to it.” 【1】What kind of feeling did Joemar have on his first day of school?

Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession(一连串，连续）". With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience. This behavior is nothing new. In fact, " binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode”. However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we’ll be missing work! Bingeing has other connections-binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said: “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction? The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.” 【1】How did the writer develop the first paragraph? A.Listing some examples B.Telling a story. C.Giving a definition D.Analyzing the cause and effect 【2】Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 2 ? A.similarly B.gradually C.naturally D.necessarily 【3】What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that _____________. A.people have no patience to do work B.people can’t control their movements C.people are delighted to watch television D.people can’t resist the temptation 【4】What advice did the writer give at last? A.To watch episodes in a moderate way. B.To draw life lessons from the episodes. C.To enjoy entertainment as much as possible. D.To keep online media from stopping functioning. |

If you're planning to go on a diet，or if you suffer from serious conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，knowing exactly what and how much you're eating is essential. In this day and age, we have calorie and nutritional calculators even on our smartphones, but they act only as guides, whereas Panasonic's revolutionary new device, CaloRieco, actually analyzes the food on your plate and provides accurate information about in just a few seconds. You've probably used calorie calculators before, and you know that they only offer general information. For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger, but it can't tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger. The same goes for nutrients like protein or fats. And this is what makes the new CaloRieco so special. Displayed at a recent tech show, CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection technology to determine the nutritional values of almost any food and also provide accurate calorie estimates.All you have to do is put your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food on there. Once it's done analyzing the various ingredients in your meal, CaloRieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and very dark dishes. CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld, so you can access it whenever you need. Panasonic said that its outstanding invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers, both of which make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at the show is just a prototype(样品)which needs to be improved. It's scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery. 【1】What is special about CaloRieco? A.It can present the exact data of analyzed food. B.It is a high-tech device working as a guide C.It uses light reflection technology D.It only offers general information of food. 【2】According to the text, CaloRieco_________. A.needs a long time to analyze the food B.can display the food data on the smartphone directly C.can count the calories of all foods on your plate D.may be well received among dieters and diabetes sufferers 【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.Smartphone. B.App. C.Data. D.Food. 【4】What can we infer about CaloRieco from the last paragraph? A.It's perfect. B.It's promising. C.It's costly. D.It's portable. |

“Click!” That’s the sound of safety. That’s the sound of survival. That’s the sound of a seat belt locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that’s a fact.

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。 My best friend's mother was a social worker in Detroit, Michigan. Because of that, my friend Victoria and I were introduced early to the world of volunteering. We did plenty of charity(慈善) work. We always had a good time, and continued to volunteer whenever we had time, often even when we didn't. It became second nature. Hairstyles came and went, but Victoria and I found places to donate our time because that's how we were raised. One particular morning we signed up for "Paint the Town",an organization in Detroit to help lowincome homeowners clean their houses. We were assigned(分配) a dilapidated(破烂的) house in one of the worst communities of the city. I was afraid as we got near to the front door, not knowing who we would find on the other side. We knocked three times quickly and stepped back, waiting to be let in. When the door opened, my mouth did, too. Standing there was a little old lady with wisps(一束) of white hair and a purple apron(围裙) tied around her waist. "Hello" she said, "I'm Amelia. Please come in and I will show you where to start."Her smile shone brightly. “I am just baking some cookies for you girls to eat.” As she led us to the parts of her house that needed painting, my heart softened. Here was one of the scariest looking houses in the city, but behind its doors was a sweet old lady with a cane and a big smile. Here we were coming to help her, and instead she was doing something for us—baking homemade cookies and serving us tea! 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。 There was no age barrier that day as we worked on Amelia's house. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Nonsense！” she criticized(批评). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
