27、 The City of the Future
To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025. Here are some of the ideas they had:
Garbage ships To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.
Batman Nets Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.
Forget smoking No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits. Smoking will be possible only outside cities, and outdoors.
Forget the malls In the future all shopping will be done online, and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.
Telephones for life Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.
Recreation All forms of recreation, such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others, will be provided free of charge by the city.
Cars All cars will be powered by electricity, solar energy or wind, and it will be possible to change the colour of cars at the flick of a switch.
Telesurgery Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.

28、 For a long time, the smartwatch industry had just a few big companies that could set any prices they wanted and kept cheating customers. But now one new tech company is turning the $5 billion smartwatch industry on its head. The company called OshenWatch has found a way to offer a far advanced product at a part of the original price.
Let’s meet the OshenWatch. OshenWatch combines the functions of a fitness band (手环), digital watch, and health monitor all into one. It feels comfortable to wear. Even better than some of the expensive smartwatches I own from other big tech companies. Extreme indoor and outdoor sports? No problem, the hardened aluminum shell (铝壳)and the lowered-temperature touchscreen glass won't break easily even if you tried.
In my opinion, the OshenWatch is the next generation of smartwatches. Take calls, sleep monitoring, show incoming messages, etc…The watch has all the basic functions that a good smartwatch must have and much more.
What makes the OshenWatch so popular? The green laser (激光)behind the watch is the secret! It is the heart rate monitoring function. This watch lets you measure your blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen level, calculate your beats per minute. Give you extremely important time to catch problems early, and seek medical help before it's too late.
This is the reason why the OshenWatch will be the best-selling smartwatch of 2020. No other watch is that advanced. It could actually save your life one day!
【1】What is the advantage of the OshenWatch?
A.Its price is the lowest. B.It has various functions.
C.It is made of aluminum. D.It can lower the temperature.
【2】Which of the following can be measured by the OshenWatch?
①blood pressure②blood sugar level ③heart rate ④blood oxygen level
⑤eye pressure
A.①③④ B.②③④ C.①②⑤ D.②③⑤
【3】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine.
29、Dear Sir,
I am writing in reply to your article about homelessness in Ledchester as it raises questions about whether or how we should give money to charity.
There are now so many chances to give to charity in the UK these days that it can be difficult to know what is best to do. As your article said, if you go shopping in Ledchester city centre, there will be many chances to give money to charity, or to homeless people who look poor, tired and cold, but the solution is not as easy as you seem to think. Can I be sure that the person won’t spend the money on alcohol(酒) or drugs? You seem to have forgotten the research which showed that 9 out of 10 people begging on the street spend the money they are given on alcohol and drugs. Also, can I be sure that the person isn’t one of those “professional beggars” who simply pretend to be homeless and poor?
I think a more effective way to give money is to buy things in one of the many charity shops in Ledchester such as the Oxfam shop. This isn’t really charity as you are buying something, but you know the money is going to a good cause.
In recent years, as we all know, there have been a lot of big events organized to raise money for charity. Many will remember “Live Aid”. Lots of famous bands got together to hold a concert and make a record with all the money going to Ethiopia because of the food shortages there. The BBC also has a “Children in Need” day every year. In one sense you could say that these events are very successful as they raise a lot of money. However, I don’t believe that these events solve the real problems. In my view, these events just allow people to feel good about themselves for a day and then forget about charity and problems in the developing world for the rest of the year. My wife and I decided to support a child. We give a certain amount of money every month and this goes to pay for the education of a girl in Ethiopia. I would encourage your readers to support a child too. We don’t know if it is the best way to help, but at least it is something.
Yours faithfully,
Tom Blinson

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
