26、At the office that day, Martha was left to keep her eyes open until after the lunch hour. Then Mr Max Cohen brought her a document to copy. She was so anxious she had to start afresh three times. And when he came to fetch it, all that had been achieved were the words “Memorandum of an Agreement of Sale” typed across the top of the sheet. She shrank under his impatient assurance that it did not matter in the least, and she must take her time. Her fingers were heavy and trembling, and her head was thick. To type two pages of his small neat writing into something clean and pleasant to look at seemed to her, just then, an impossibly difficult task. He went home without coming to her desk again, and she decided she would come early next morning and do it before anyone else arrived.
Mrs Buss, on her way out, asked, “Have you got any certificates?” Martha said no. She had learned to type at home. Mrs Buss said nothing, but merely nodded absent-mindedly, for her eyes were on the elegant Mrs Jasper Cohen. Martha could barely see where she was going as she left the office. What she said to herself was, “I won’t spend the rest of my life typing this stupid jargon”.
She then went into the building of the ZambesiNews. She was going to see if Mr Spur, an old journalist whom she had known as a child, could offer her any kind of position. She was in the building about half an hour, and when she came out, her face was hot with embarrassment. It had been so painful she could not bear to remember what had happened. What she must remember was that she had no qualifications at all.
【1】Why did Martha find her first day at the office difficult?
A．She was too nervous to think.
B．Mr Cohen was not easy to please.
C．The task given to her was very difficult.
D．She was not used to working under pressure.
【2】By the end of the day, which of the following was true of Martha?
A．She had decided to work overtime.
B．She hadn't finished her typing work.
C．She hadn't thought she would be blamed.
D．She knew Mr Cohen was disappointed in her.
【3】What might be Mrs Buss's attitude towards Martha?
A．She seemed eager to help her.
B．She seemed uninterested in her.
C．She seemed to have taken a dislike to her.
D．She seemed concerned about her lack of qualifications.
27、 Do you buy too many clothes? Or do you often buy new garments only to wear them once before throwing them away? Research shows that you are not alone; a recent survey in Australia has shown that roughly a quarter of Australians have thrown away a piece of clothing after wearing it just once.
Sarah Freeman was so shocked by these findings that she decided to do something about it. She has founded a “clothes library” in Sydney, where customers can rent clothing instead of purchasing it; this way, you can still only wear it once but without being wasteful.
Research suggests that global clothing production doubled between 2000 and 2014!
Clothes these days can sometimes only last two or three washes before they need to be replaced. Not only are these short- lasting clothes not good for your wallet, but they’re also terrible for the environment. The majority of these clothes are produced in third world countries, and their factories use up huge amounts of energy and pollute the waterways nearby.
Sarah's clothes library is a great way to get fantastic designer clothes at an affordable price, and it's also good for the environment. Compared with a regular clothing store, Sarah’s business hardly produces any waste. Customers can pay a monthly subscription fee and enjoy 4 to 6 pieces of clothing per month.
Sarah thinks that her clothes library can make a difference and hopes to see one in every shopping center. But will it catch on? Reading books that have been read by another person is one thing, but to wear clothes that have been worn by others is another even though great brands are available to rent.
The very similar Fashion Library in Amsterdam made news headlines in 2015, and others have sprung up in other places around the world as well.
【1】What problem of Australians is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Being enthusiastic about going after fashion
B. Storing piles of clothes in their cupboards.
C. Buying clothes regardless of their prices.
D. Being wasteful in dealing with clothes.
【2】What's talked about modern clothes in paragraph 3?
A. Why they last so short. B. Their fast development
C. Their harmful influences. D. What leads to their poor quality.
【3】What's the author’s opinion on the clothes library?
A. He/She thinks it'll be well accepted. B. He/She throws doubt on its popularity.
C. He/She believes it's of great necessity. D. He/She strongly opposes its wide spread.
【4】It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. the clothes library concept isn't new
B. Sarah's clothes library is completely waste-free
C. designer clothes aren't available in Sarah's clothes library
D. customers can rent unlimited pieces of clothing every month
28、 The iPhone has been called a magical product because of its success over the years. However, now the iPhone seems to have lost its attraction.
Apple recently announced its financial results for the company’s first quarter of 2019, with a total income of $84.3 billion. It’s the company’s worst performance in about a decade. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, explained that the decline(下降) was mainly because of the weaker demand in China.
However, people believe that Apple itself is largely responsible for the decline. Gene Munster, from US research company, told CNN that “one- third of the issue” comes from the company’s move to sharply increase the price of its entire new products. This has made people less willing to change to the latest iPhones. For example, iPhone Xs Max, one of the company’s latest smartphones, costs $1,450 in the US before tax, and costs much more in other countries. Apple has also failed to introduce features that excite consumers in a forward-thinking technology market. The iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max are being criticized for lack of any real notable new software features, reported CNBC.
Meanwhile, Apple also faces challenges from smartphone makers in China such as Huawei and Xiaomi, which have introduced less expensive but still quality smartphones. In 2018, Huawei introduced a triple-lens(三镜头) camera on its P20 Pro. The triple-lens camera is a popular feature that the iPhone lacks.
“In the past few years, the technology in Apple’s phones has not had any big breakthroughs, while the technology in domestic(国内的) phones has gotten better and better,” Feng Yin, a 32-year-old engineer in China, told The New York Times. “The difference is getting smaller.”
It’s not just Chinese consumers that have developed belief in domestic smartphone brands. Gregory from Paris bought his eighth Huawei phone in 2018. He also successfully persuaded his 56-ycar-old aunt, Jankowski, to buy one. “I wasn’t really worried about the fact that it was a Chinese brand,” Jankowski told The New York Times about her Huawei phone. “We know that they make amazing technological products.”
【1】What’s the reason for the sales fall of Apple according to Gene Munster?
A.The weaker demand in China. B.Expensive new products.
C.Failing to introduce new features. D.The challenges from Huawei.
【2】Which of the following statements is True according to the text?
A.Apple has lost its market in China.
B.The technology in Huawei has gone beyond Apple.
C.Many people complain that the iPhone updates too quickly.
D.More consumers begin to believe in Chinese smartphone brands.
【3】How does Jankowski feel about her Huawei phone?
A.Content. B.Curious.
C.Worried. D.Disappointed.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Markets Call for Reform. B.Is Huawei Taking Off.
C.Price Determines Sales. D.Is Apple Losing its Appeal.
29、Oh my God, the robots are taking over! We’re doomed! Doomed! Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, it’s become clear that while we may or may not be doomed, the robots are taking over. The latest example is the government’s new guidelines for self-driving cars.
Tesla, Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities across America. Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021, self-driving cars will play a big part in urban settings.
Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-related accidents, and we believes driverless cars can save tens of thousands of lives annually.
Makes sense. Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk, drive without a license, text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a pileup. On the other hand, I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react, with walkers constantly dashing into the street. Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds?
But there’s a bigger picture. Not only are robots replacing humans behind the wheel, but behind the work desk, in warehouses, senior homes, you name it. Robots aren’t just taking over in the workplace.
The question is, where can’t a robot function better than a human? How about writing songs? A robot can go through every combination of notes in record time and come up with a pleasing melody. The lyrics might be a different story. Is a Grammy-winning song co-written by Hank Human and R-3071 in our future?
Finally, it’s only a matter of time until we have robot politicians and presidential candidates. Why not? They can be programmed to be experts in world and domestic affairs and come up with the best solutions without corruption and bad humors.
Actually, it’s too bad such technology isn’t available in 2016. Pretty sure the robot would win in a landslide.
【1】What does the underlined word “agitated” mean?
A．Tired
B．Cautious
C．Careful
D．Anxious
【2】What doubt does the writer have about self-driving cars?
A．How passengers behave in it.
B．How robot drivers get the license
C．How they avoid crashing into other car
D．How they respond to walkers on a busy street
【3】The last questions asked in the sixth paragraph reflects the writer’s .
A．confidence in robots, winning Grammy Awards
B．eagerness to listen to songs written by robots
C．doubt about robots’ ability to write songs
D．curiosity about the future Grammy songs
【4】What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A．Robots will control the world in every field
B．Robots are coming but not soon enough
C．Robots are being used in our daily life
D．Robots can drive cars and write music

31、 We live in a heavily edited world. People in pictures are no longer people-they are perfect human beings whom we can only try, and_______, to live up to. And food in pictures is no longer food. It's_______, something to make you desire a lifestyle while_______you that you're not part of it.
But people are getting _______ and tired of such perfection, leading to something Pamela Grossman, a director at Getty Images, calls “perfection fatigue(疲劳)”. This new attitude is now _______ people to value something different: _______.
The pizza company Domino's, for example, is_______the trend by encouraging its customers to_______ unedited pictures of their pizzas on social media, as part of the nofilter(未过滤的) movement that’s become so popular on Instagram. This may mean oily boxes, _______ cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat, but these________show what we're actually ________.
"It's________what it looks like when you really get a pizza."Dennis Maloney, chief digital officer of Domino's, told the website Fastcodesign. "It feels much more honest and transparent when the images are imperfect.”
Things are also changing with perfect human images. For example, US clothing company Gap, __________a "Dress Normal" campaign in 2014, ________simple clothes instead of smart suits like those of runway models.
"We spend so much time trying to________our shortcomings owing to the fact that our________has set it up that we have to be________ if we're not perfect," US filmmaker Cynthia Wade told The New York Times. "I think people are tired of it. They're suddenly much more willing to________the ugly or sarcastic."
But while it's probably true that we won't see a(n) ________to "perfect" pictures any time soon, at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be________to be imperfect, or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal's albums, Perfectly Imperfect.

34、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
My daughter
(A story told by a father, a famous actor)
My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.
I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.
We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.
I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.
We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.
I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.
We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.
35、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.
36、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空，在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people【4】 one of the most powerful forces on earth—the volcano.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?
Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.
The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.
The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.
In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.
Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

40、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a picnic. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we saw two adult geese (鹅) and a young goose. The adults were surprised by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the young goose out of fear that it would stay with us and be lost to its family forever.
Hours passed, and night fell. With it came the coldness. The tiny little thing was walking around our yard and it was clear that the goose needed protection and warmth. At that point, we knew we had to help, аnd wе brоught hіm іntо оur bасk роrсh (门廊).
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to shoo (赶走) the goose to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, though, and they wouldn’t come close enough to take him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name. My sister Joanna called him Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. We also decided that Peeper was a boy. I don’t know why; it just felt right.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. Peeper slept in our back porch each night. My dad would clean all the goose droppings daily. He would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop (圈) around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule - wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers (障碍); school uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity”. Actually, as noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality. They just copy their classmates. Students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school, their job is to master reading, writing, and mathematics; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
