Not long ago, I tried convincing my three daughters that the world’s secrets are hidden inside silence. The girls looked at me skeptically. Surely silence is nothing? Sitting there at the dinner table, I suddenly remembered their curiosity as children, their wondering about what might be hiding behind a door and their amazement as they stared at a light switch and asked me to “open the light”. But now they are 13, 16 and 19 and wonder less and less. If they still wonder at anything, they quickly pull out their smart phones to find the answer. None of them have any interest in discussing with me. To attract their attention, I told them about two friends of mine who had decided to climb Mount Qomolangma. Early one morning they left base camp to climb the south-west wall of the mountain. It was going well. Both reached the summit, but then came the storm. They soon realized they would not make it down alive. The first got hold of his pregnant wife by satellite phone. Together they decided on the name of the child that she was carrying. Then he quietly passed away just below the summit. My other friend was not able to contact anyone before he died. No one knows exactly what happened on the mountain in those hours. Thanks to the dry, cool climate 8km above sea level, they have both been freeze-dried. They lie there in silence, looking no different. The girls remained quiet, listening. It seemed as though they had got something. It is easy to assume that the essence (本质) of technology is technology itself, but that is wrong. The essence is the time we spend with our family and how much freedom we have by technology. 【小题1】What’s the real purpose of the author’s telling the story? A. To entertain the girls. B. To attract the girls’ attention to technology. C. To encourage the girls to explore the world’s secret. D. To share a viewpoint about the essence of technology. 【小题2】Why are the girls unwilling to discuss problems with the author when they are puzzled? A. Because they don’t want to solve them. B. Because they can turn to the smart phone. C. Because they feel ashamed for their problems. D. Because they think it difficult to talk with others. 【小题3】How would the author think of the outcome of the storytelling? A. It’s effective. B. It’s unacceptable. C. It’s embarrassing D. It’s discouraging 【小题4】What does technology really bring us according to the text? A. The time with our family and freedom. B. The answers to the puzzling problems. C. The information of learning the outside world. D. The choice of communicating with our friends. |

We all have different ways to navigate (导航) when lost?whether asking a stranger for help, consulting an old-school map or simply following our nose. But on a bike, the risks are higher. One wrong turn or that you’re in a traffic jam with two lanes between your bike and the nearest pavement may ruin your good mood. Although cyclists, of course, managed to navigate before smart phones, cyclists can make two choices: a few stay calm and embrace getting lost, and the rest turn to a navigation app. Google Maps added a directions function for cyclists in 2015 in the US and Canada, and two years later across Europe. And while there are dozens of other apps now offering a similar service, Google Maps has the demerits for many, so the app seems to be falling behind expectations. As someone with no sense of direction, I knew it wouldn’t be easy when I started cycling earlier this year. I appreciated that the app gave me two warnings before I needed to turn off a road, and automatically recalculated my route if I accidentally went off course. But still, it wasn’t a smooth process. Google Maps thought I could cut across a double carriageway with no breaks in its barrier, assumed I knew what it meant when it told me to “head west”, and thought nothing of taking me the wrong way down a busy one-way street. Cyclists don’t just want safety?they want convenience. Londoner Robson Smith regularly cycles between Clap ham and the City of London and would like to see Google Maps calculate routes where his bike is allowed on public transport and more choice of the type of routes he can take. “Google tends to calculate the most common and comfortable cycle routes. It would be better to have an option which included the fastest route, regardless of comfort,” he says. For this reason, Robson says he uses the app Cycle Streets instead. It offers a choice of four different route modes, based on the type the user wants, and saves previous routes. It also tells you how many calories a route burns, how many traffic lights you wilt encounter, and how busy it is. 【小题1】What higher risks may happen to cyclists according to Paragraph 1? A. Losing the way to their destinations. B. Making wrong plans about the directions. C. Staying still in the same place for a long time. D. Taking wrong turn or being caught in a traffic jam. 【小题2】What does the underlined word “demerits” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Defence. B. Shortcomings. C. Existence. D. Techniques. 【小题3】What’s Robson’s opinion on Google Maps? A. It needs improving. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It can provide convenient courses. D. It offers the most common and fastest route. 【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Different Apps in Navigation B. The Rise and Fall of Google Maps C. The Disadvantages of Google Maps D. Planning the Future of Google Maps |

For many of us, talking about money is embarrassing, especially revealing our income and spending habits in public. So it’s no wonder that seeking investment advice from computer program is so popular. Consultancy firm Accenture found that 68% of global consumers would be happy to use robot-advice to plan for retirement, feeling it would be faster, cheaper, and fairer than human advice. “Many of our customers say they feel awkward in face-to-face meetings, preferring an online experience where they don’t feel nervous,” says Lynn Smith, a director of robot-advice firm Wealth Wizards. So how does robot-advice work and is it really any better than traditional financial advice? Robot-adviser firms use algorithms (算法) to analyse your financial situation and goals and then work out an investment plan to suit you. Basically, you answer lots of questions online about your income, expenses, family situation, attitude to risk and so on, and then the algorithm allocates (分配) your savings to a series of investments, from index funds that aim to imitate a particular stock market index or sector, to fixed-income bonds. Robot-advice is certainly growing in popularity. But are we really happy to give up the human adviser completely? “No” is the short answer. Accenture finds that a significant proportion of us still want human interaction, particularly when our finances are complex. “When a customer needs advice surpassing a number of different regulatory regimes, human advice will be required, says John Perks, managing director of life and pensions at UK insurer LV, which launched its Retirement Wizard robot-advice service two years ago. The truth is that only about a quarter of funds managed by clever humans overcome the market as a whole, so when you take into account the much higher management fees you pay for that kind of service, the performance difference is likely to be marginal (微不足道的) for most of us. The robots may be coming, but in this case at least, they seem to be on the side of the small investor trying to save for a comfortable retirement. 【小题1】What do we know about the robot-advice from the second paragraph? A. It’s suitable for all. B. It’s complex but fair. C. It’s expensive but accurate. D. It’s beneficial and relaxing. 【小题2】If you want to use robot-advice, you should first ________. A. consult human advice B. work out an investment plan C. answer lots of questions online D. analyse your financial situation 【小题3】What does the underlined phrase “that kind of service” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The allocation of retirement. B. The performance difference. C. Human fund management. D. The robot-advice service. 【小题4】Why do we still need the human adviser according to the text? A. Because some finances are complex. B. Because some clients face retirement. C. Because human interaction is necessary. D. Because the human adviser offers better service. |

How to Pick the Perfect Watermelon I love watermelon, but what I don’t love about watermelon is picking them out. There is nothing worse than cutting into a watermelon and having it taste not sweet. 【小题1】 Evaluation: You need to evaluate your watermelon to make sure that the watermelon is symmetrical. Irregular shapes typically indicate the watermelon received inconsistent amounts of sunshine and water. Color and Appearance: The color of the surface is extremely important.【小题2】 If it’s shiny, it’s not ripe yet. Another important thing is to look for the field spot. This will be a yellow spot on the underside of a watermelon. It should be a creamy yellow color.【小题3】 Don’t take the watermelon if the field spot is white or non-existent. 【小题4】 For a sweeter and riper watermelon, there shouldn’t be a visible stem (茎) on the surface. If there’s a stem, it indicates that the watermelon doesn’t fall off the vine on its own. Knock on it: Gently knock on the watermelon, and listen to the sound it makes. A ripe watermelon should have a full, deep, and hollow sound.【小题5】 Make sure of the firmness of the melon when you knock on it. You want the surface to be hard and firm. A. Look at the stem. B.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 It is generally believed that obesity is a global epidemic and crisis. But people’s view on weight is keeping us from doing things to help us get 【小题1】 healthy body. Obesity researchers hate 【小题2】 when I say this, but their own data shows that obesity is not going to kill us. Most obese people don’t have 【小题3】 (short) lifespans (寿命) than non-obese people and in fact it’s the underweight people 【小题4】 are at most at risk. So why does everybody think obesity is deadly? One reason is that obesity is associated with three different things that 【小题5】 (be) deadly and lead to shorter lifespan: being sedentary (久坐);【小题6】 (have) lower income; and not getting enough medical care. Everyone, the medial the medical community operate from the firm 【小题7】 (assume) that obesity is deadly. So any evidences contradicting that are ignored. It is true that obese people are more likely 【小题8】 (get) diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But there are two things you need to realize. First of all, the obesity paradox. When obese people get the 【小题9】 (disease), they’re less likely to die of them than non-obese people. Second, to reduce the risks that you may suffer from, you don’t 【小题10】 (actual) have to get thin. You just need to exercise. |
