A
It is halfway
through October. The sun arrives early and I stare
out my window, feeling shame
for
invading (
侵犯）
the privacy of
the homeless woman who has settled across the
street. I am not
sure when she first
appeared, maybe a month ago. Each morning I watch
as she gets out from the
narrow space
between the two large buildings across from mine.
She wears the
same dirty, badly torn dress every day. I can see
she fights to pull herself up into
a
standing position. She fails in the first two or
three tries, but determination always wins out.
She
remains
leaning
against
the
wall
for
several
long
minutes,
appearing
to
gather
the
necessary
strength needed to
pick up her possession--all packed into five
plastic bags. With tears in my eyes,
I
watch
as
she
places
her
feet
pointing
outward
to
avoid
falling.
Her
steps
are
measured
and
cautious as she slowly makes her way to
the corner and disappears.
When
I
first
noticed
this woman,
I
went
across
the
street
and
offered
her
20
dollars,
but
she
turned her back to me and pretended not
to see me. The expression on her face was one of
shame,
causing me to feel guilt for
invading her privacy. The next night I bought a
hotdog and a Coke,
and
left
them
in
the
spot
when
she
was
not
there.
Feeling
like
a
spy,
I
watched
as
she
ate
the
hotdog like a starving
cat that had not eaten for days.
I too often find myself
complaining about life, but when I look out my
window and see the old
woman, I feel
the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not
realizing how fortunate I really am.
There are many poor people
in my town. I have become familiar with many of
their faces, and
then suddenly they
disappear. I know that one day the old woman will
be gone and I will have no
idea where
she is. I fear that day.

main idea of paragraph 2 ?
A. Life is
tough for the homeless woman.
y causes
the woman
’

’
t

didn
’
t help much.

’
t
like the author.

24.

B. Sympathetic
C. Determined
D. Easy-going
B
A laptop, a hair straightener,
Christmas lights, an e-reader, a kettle, two bags,
a pair of jeans, a
remote-control
helicopter, a spoon, and a dining-room chair. All
broken.
It
sounds like a pile of things that
you
’
s stuck in boxes and
take to the dustbin. In fact,
it
’
s a list
of
things
mended
in
a
single
afternoon
by
British
volunteers
determined
to
get
people
to
stop
throwing things away. This is the
Reading Repair Cafe, part of an international
network aimed at
dealing with a world
of rubbish.
The
helicopter
belongs
to
William,
who
cheerfully
describes
himself
as
“
mechanically
imcompetent
”
. He
has owned it for 8 years, but 3 years ago it
stopped working and it has been
sitting
unused in his cupboard ever since.
He sits down at the table
of Colin Haycock, an IT professional who
volunteers at the repair cafe,
which
has been running for about four years and is a
place where people can bring all manner of
household items to be fixed for free.
In less than five minutes, Haycock has fixed the
helicopter
and it works well.
2
William looks ashamed;Haycock looks
pleased.
“
I wish they were
all that simple,
”
he says.
Today, the
repairs will stop 24 kg of waste from going to
landfill (
垃圾填埋场）
and save
284kg
of CO2. Some items
can
’
t be fixed on the spot
but very little needs to be thrown away.
Gabrille
Stanley, who used to run a clothing business, says
she was drawn to volunteering at the
repair cafe to fight the
“
throwaway
culture
”
she sees. About
300,000 tons of clothing was sent to
landfill in UK in 2016 and a report
from WRAP puts the average lifespan
(
寿命）
for a piece of
clothing in the UK at 3.3 years.
25.
What is the
author
’
s purpose in writing
paragraph 1?
A. To present the main
idea.
support the
author
’
s opinion.
raise reader
’
s
interest.
establish an argument.
26.
Why
doesn
’
t William repair the
helicopter himself?
A.
He is both lazy and busy.
B.
He is ashamed of repair work.
C. He
doesn
’
t treasure the
helicopter.
D. He lakes the
necessary skills.
27.
Which of the following argument will
Cabrille Stanley probably agree with?
A. People should send old clothing to
landfill.
B. People should hold on to
their clothes longer.
C. Clothing
factories are to blame for the waste.
D. Running a clothing business is no
easy task.
C
The descriptions are scary.
Some people felt fine in the morning and then were
dead by night.
Patients coughed up
blood. Their faces turned blue. That was what
happened in 1918. A deadly flu
killed
ten of millions of people around the world. It is
100 years later. Scientists are thinking about
how to keep us safe from another super-
flu.
Dr.
Anthony Fauci says we need one vaccine
（疫苗）
that can protect against
most or all types
of the flu.
Scientists want a shot that people could get every
5 or 10 years to get rid of normal flu
shots. Maybe someday we will need just
one shot. It could last our whole lives. It will
not be easy.
Scientists have been
learning about flu for 100 years. Still, the flu
often beats our best plans to
3
stop it. That is because
it is always changing.
The immune system
(
免疫系统）
protects the body. It
keeps us healthy by fighting things that
might
harm
the
body.
To
get
around
our
immune
system,
the
flu
changes
itself
every
year.
Scientists have a new plan, though.
They are learning how the flu tricks the immune
system. They
are finding which part of
the flu stays the same each year. The 1918 flu
outbreak shows why this is
so
important. Back then, there was no flu vaccine.
There was no way to stop it. By winter 1919.
the flu had infected one-third of the
world
’
s population, killing
more than 50 million people in a
short
time.
In 2009,
scientists made a great discovery. They learned
something new. Sometimes,
people
’
s
immune
system make a small number of special antibodies.
Antibodies are proteins
（蛋白质）
in
the
proteins
stop
us
from
getting
sick.
These
special
antibodies
can
stop
the
flu.
Scientists are trying
different tricks to get
people
’
s bodies to make more
of those antibodies. They
still need to
learn more, though. In the meantime, Fauci says it
is silly to think about what the next
flu might bring.
“
We just need to be
prepared,
”
he said.
28.
The flu
tricks the immune system by__________________.
A. changing itself every year
B. remaining totally unchanged
ing special antibodies
D. harming proteins in the
body.
29.
What
can we learn from the text?
A. The flu
causes more deaths than it did 100 years ago.
B. A flu vaccine shot with long-term
effects is easy to make.
C. The super
flu will take about 5 or 10 years to get rid of.
D. People
don
’
t have to be too
concerned about the flu.
30.
What is the main idea of the text?
A. The deadly flu killed ten of
millions of people in such a short time.
B. Scientist are trying to figure out
the best protecting against the flu.
C.
The immune system plays a vital part in keeping us
from being sick.
D. People around the
world are scared of the sudden outbreak of the
flu.

Why I Got Rid of My Cell
Phone
In 2017 I
decided to take a break from my cell phone.
Instead of shutting it off completely, I
decided to turn it off a month to see
how it goes. By the end of the month I found that
I could live
without a cell phone. It
has been seven months since I have lived without a
cell phone. I would
like to share with
you the reasons why I decided to get rid of my
cell phone.
1.
31
Checking my
phone was the first thing I did when I woke up and
the last thing I did
before going to
sleep. Throughout the day I would check my phone
countless times. It became a
bad habit
of mine in which the only way to break it was to
be far away from it.
I owned a phone,
I was constantly connected to it. I
wasn
’
t taking enough time to
see
what was right in front of me.
There was no end of the day when it came ti work
and there was not
nearly enough time to
relax. Instead, I was constantly going.
32
3.
33
If
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
someone,
I
would
think
about
what
else
I
could be
doing or texting other people instead of being
fully present in the conversation. Now that
I don
’
t have a
cell phone, I am more present in my conversations
and to my surroundings.
4. I was
completely dependent on my cell phone.
34
A cell phone was my quick
and
easy
problem
solver.
Whatever
problems
I
met
during
the
day,
I
used
my
cell
phone
for
the
answers. Without my cell
phone I have become more self-dependent and self-
problem solver/
5. I also found that my
sleep wasn
’
t as good as it
had been in the past, Screens
stimulate
（刺
激）
your
mind and can affect your natural sleep patterns
35
However, I did
not have the
self-control to do this so
I would go to bed with a stimulated mind causing
me to have a poor night
sleep.
A. It made me less social.
B. I found that I was addicted to my
phone.
C. Having a cell phone split my
attention in half.
D. I know that is
not good for my health.
E. The answer
to this is to turn off your phone a few hours
before bed.
F. These phone-free travels
were some of the most liberating moments of my
life.
G. It was my watch, my alarm
clock, my email, my maps. my wallet, and my way to
talk
with friends.
