A
??
Experience
around
food
is
about
the
place,
the
time
and
the
people,
and
"the
best
meal"
can
be
found
in
a
fine
dining
restaurant
or
a
crowded
street
market.
How
can
you
recreate
that
special
moment
influenced
by
place
and
time?
Travel
is
becoming
the
most
popular
reason
to
visit
many
places
around
the
world.
Here
are
the
places
that
consistently
excite
the
senses.
???
South
of
France
???
Markets
with
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
and
butcher
shops
are
abundant.
Regional
wines
are
excellent.
And
freshly
baked
French
bread
with
French
butter
is
what
memories
are
made
of.
Take
a
chair
in
an
ancient
walled
city
for
a
meal
with
a
view
that
you
will
never
forget.

???
This
bustling
city
filled
with
unique
buildings
is
a
city
for
lovers
of
history,
architecture
and
food.
Kiosko
Universal,
a
counter
restaurant
at

It's
hard
to
choose
one
place
or
city
to
visit.
Some
of
our
favorite
places
include
the
coastal
regions
on
the
Adriatic
and
Tuscany.
Friuli
stole
our
hearts
last
year
with
its
many
unique
wines,
small
artisan
food
producers,
and
influences
from
neighboring
countries
like
Austria
and
Germany.
???

B
?
When
I
woke
up,
I
made
myself
breakfast,
sat
and
listened
to
the
traffic.
Some
of
my
friends
asked
me
how
I
could
stand
living
somewhere
so
noisy.
It's
true
that
there’s
always
some
kinds
of
noise
in
my
neighborhood,
but
to
me,these
are
the
sounds
of
life.
???
It
was
Saturday
morning,
so
I
decided
to
go
to
the
park.
The
taxi
was
the
fastest
way
to
go
but
I
took
the
bus
instead.
???
When
you
ride
the
bus,
you
get
to
see
so
much
more
of
the
city.
It
can
be
kind
of
loud
on
the
bus,
with
some
people
talking
on
their
phones,
some
people
chatting
with
their
friends,
and
others
playing
music.
It’s
just
like
the
traffic’s
sounds,
though
the
noise
on
the
bus
represents
people
working,
relaxing
and
living.
???
Once
I
got
to
the
park,
I
picked
a
bench
over
near
the
play
area
where
kids
played
while
their
parents
sat
nearby.
I
could
see
and
hear
almost
everything
from
there.
People-watching
is
one
of
my
favorite
things
to
do.
However,
I
like
listening
even
better.
The
only
problem
is
that
there’s
so
much
to
see
and
hear
in
the
park!
???
Usually,
I
like
to
close
my
eyes.
That
way,
I
can
pay
more
attention
to
the
sounds
and
not
get
distracted
by
what
I
see.
With
my
eyes
closed,
I
could
pick
out
parts
of
two
old
men's
conversation.
One
of
them
was
telling
the
other
about
something
his
grandson
said.
I
couldn’t
hear
the
rest,
but
it
must
be
hilarious
because
his
friend’s
laugh
was
so
loud.
???
When
I'm
old,
I
hope
that
I
will
also
have
a
friend
who
will
sit
in
the
park
with
me,
and
who
will
enjoy
listening
to
the
sounds
of
the
city
as
much
as
I
do.
1.Some
of
the
author's
friends
think
"the
sounds
of
_____
life"
are
very.
A.unpleasant
B.unique
C.magical
D.interesting
2.The
author
took
the
bus
to
the
park
because
______.
A.there
was
no
other
transport
to
go
there
B.he
wanted
to
see
more
about
people's
life
C.it
was
the
most
convenient
way
D.his
friend
advised

to
do
so

"hilarious"
in
Paragraph
5probably
means
"______".

Many
Americans
think
of
driverless
cars
as
a
futuristic
technology
that
will
revolutionize
travel
in
cities
and
along
state
highways.
But
recent
experiments
are
proving
that
autonomous
vehicles
also
have
the
potential
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
millions
of
Americans
underserved
by
traditional
modes
of
transportation,
such
as
the
elderly
and
disabled,
so
long
as
lawmakers
make
smart
policies
that
pave
the
way
for
innovation.
???
A
retirement
community
in
San
Jose,
Calif.
,
which
has
been
transformed
by
a
small
fleet
of
driverless
taxis,
shows
the
potential
of
self-driving
cars
to
transform
people's
lives.
Built
by
a
tech
start-up
called
Voyage,
the
modified
Ford
Fusions
are
currently
limited
to
a
two-mile
road,
but
residents
are
already
having
the
benefits
of
these
autonomous
vehicles,
which
allow
them
to
participate
in
social
activities
they
would
otherwise
be
unable
to
enjoy
simply
because
they
could
not
get
to
them.
???
When
the
trial
run
finally
expands
to
15
miles
of
road,
these
residents—whose
average
age
is
76—will
also
have
a
convenient
and
reliable
new
way
to
appointments.
As
these
cars
continue
to
serve
residents
there,
it
is
easy
to
understand
why
California
is
moving
to
simplify
regulations
for
the
industry.
???
In
Michigan,
forward-thinking
policies
have
the
potential
to
unlock
other
hidden
benefits
of
autonomous
vehicles,
especially
for
those
with
physical
disabilities.
The
Michigan
Disability
Rights
Coalition
has
strongly
advocated
for
the
development
of
this
technology,
saying
that
it
could
give
people
with
disabilities
greater
opportunities
in
the
workforce
and
enable
them
to
lead
more
fulfilling,
independent
lives.
???
Many
recognize
that
autonomous
vehicles
will
be
the
future
of
transportation,
but
it
is
too
often
overlooked
that
this
future
cannot
arrive
fast
enough
for
millions
of
Americans
who
are
forced
to
depend
on
others
for
day-to-day
travel.
The
policymakers
should
follow
the
lead
of
places
like
California
and
Michigan,
and
pass
rules
and
regulations
to
unlock
these
hidden
benefits
of
driverless
cars.
1.
What's
the
attitude
of
most
American
people
to
the
future
of
autonomous
vehicles?
A.
Uncertain.
B.
Doubtful.
C.
Indifferent.
D.
Optimistic.
2.
What
is
the
modified
Ford
Fusion?
A.
The
collection
of
social
activities.
B.
The
name
of
a
retirement
community.
C.
A
kind
of
autonomous
vehicle.
D.
A
two-mile
road
for
self-driving
cars.
3.
Examples
are
given
in
the
third
and
the
fourth
paragraphs
to
prove
_____.
A.
what
are
preventing
the
development
of
the
technology
B.
why
driverless
cars
are
restricted
in
many
states
in
America
C.
how
driverless
technology
benefits
the
aged
and
disabled
D.
when
driverless
cars
can
enter
people's
life
eventually
4.
What
does
the
author
attempt
to
inform
us
in
the
last
paragraph?
A.
The
concept
of
autonomous
vehicles
has
been
widely
recognized.
B.
The
weak
groups
are
often
overlooked
despite
technology
advances.
C.
The
benefits
of
driverless
cars
have
been
fully
unlocked.
D.
Regulations
should
go
hand
in
hand
with
driverless
technology.
D
?
Bee
see,
bee
do.
At
least
that's
the
conclusion
of
research
published
earlier
this
month
in
the
journal
PLOS
Biology,
showing
that
bumblebees
learn
to
solve
problems
by
watching
each
other.
???
In
the
first
study
of
its
kind
in
insects,
scientists
constructed
experiments
that
challenged
bees
to
pull
strings
in
order
to
access
rewards
of
nectar(花蜜).
???
The
scientists
hoped
their
study
would
throw
light
on
a
bigger
picture:
how
social
learning
spreads
through
a
population.
???
In
the
study,
Lars
Chittka
from
Queen
Mary
University
of
London
and
his
team
made
artificial
flowers
and
filled
them
with
artificial
nectar
made
of
sugar
water.
They
put
the
flowers
under
a
clear
type
of
plastic
and
attached
a
string.
???
Then
they
added
bees.
While
most
of
the
insects
failed
to
reach
the
nectar,
a
few
eventually
figured
out
how
to
access
it,
by
pulling
the
string.
???
The
team
discovered
that
they
could
greatly
increase
the
success
rate
of
the
bees
by
first
placing
them
inside
a
transparent(透明的)
box
where
they
could
observe
an
experienced
bee
pull
the
string.
Then,
when
the
boxed
bees
were
released,
they
often
knew
what
to
do
and
successfully
pulled
the
string
to
obtain
nectar.
???
Next,
the
researchers
added
a
bee
that
was
experienced
in
string
pulling
to
each
of
three
new
groups
that
had
never
seen
the
experiment
before.
Within
a
short
time,
about
half
of
all
those
bees
were
soon
pulling
the
strings.
That
result
suggests
the
learned
behavior
could
spread
from
bee
to
bee,
similar
to
the
way
cultural
ideas
spread
in
other
animals,
including
people.
???
The
experiment
suggests
that
social
learning
may
be
more
widespread
in
the
animal
kingdom
than
people
previously
thought.
1.
What
happened
after
the
bee
pulled
the
string?
A.
It
joined
others.
B.
It
saw
flowers.
C.
It
found
water.
D.
It
got
nectar.
2.
What
did
the
boxed
bees
do
after
being
set
free?
A.
They
watched
the
experienced
bee
work.
B.
They
imitated
the
experienced
bee.
C.
They
flew
directly
to
the
rewards.
D.
They
flew
back
to
the
box.
3.
Why
was
an
experienced
bee
added
to
new
bee
groups?
A.
To
reduce
the
difficulty
of
the
experiment.
B.
To
watch
the
process
of
string
pulling.
C.
To
carry
the
experiment
further.
D.
To
keep
the
bees'
interest.
4.
What
does
the
study
find?
A.
Most
animals
create
their
own
cultures.
B.
Strings
are
particularly
attractive
to
bees.
C.
Animals
may
have
good
social
learning
ability.
D.
Bumblebees
may
be
smarter
than
other
bee
species.

There
are
five
factors
which
contribute
to
the
spread
of
fake
news:
political
gain,
misreporting,
going
viral(病毒式传播),
financial
gain
and
"not
letting
the
truth
get
in
the
way
of
a
good
story".
????①_____?When
the
Titanic
disaster
happened,
telegrams
stating
that
all
the
passengers
from
the
Titanic
had
been
rescued
were
reported
as
facts
in
newspapers,
before
the
full
extent
of
the
tragedy
came
to
light.
????②_____?In
the
early
20th
century
it
took
years
rather
than
seconds
but
the
principle
was
the
same.
People
shared
the
photographs
around,
not
checking
the
accuracy
of
them,
either
wanting
to
believe
they
were
real,
or
just
because
they
were
a
novelty.
???
It's
long
been
believed
that
the
motto
of
Fleet
Street
is
"Never
let
the
facts
get
in
the
way
of
a
good
story",
illustrated
by
a
news
story
earlier
in
2017
that
Jeremy
Corbyn
had
refused
to
bow
his
head
to
the
Queen
at
the
State
Opening
of
Parliament.
Only
later
did
it
become
known
that
protocol(礼节)
doesn't
require
bowing
to
the
Queen
in
these
situations.?③_____
???
The
final
two
factors
for
a
story
to
be
fake
news
often
go
hand
in
hand:
as
a
political
tool,
and
a
must
to
make
profits.?④_____
Easier
than
you'd
think.
The
websites
with
fake
news
can
easily
get
astonishing
hits,
which
then
attract
advertisements
and
thus
earn
the
website
owners
a
nice
profit.
???
The
good
news
is
that
a
number
of
new
media
organizations
are
trying
to
encourage
us
to
think
about
where
news
comes
from,
who
puts
it
out,
and
whether
anyone
can
politically,
financially
or
ideologically
gain
from
it,
before
we
share
it
around
social
media.
⑤_____
A.?How
does
that
make
money?
B.?How
do
people
gain
politically?
C.?But
that
didn't
matter—the
story
was
out.
D.?Here
is
a
good
example
of
misreporting.
E.?That
was
how
a
good
story
came
into
being.
F.?Going
viral
is
another
typical
characteristic
of
fake
news.
G.?Thus
we
can
give
it
certain
respectability
and
trustworthiness.

so
easy,
inexpensive,
and
has
always
brought
either
of
two
?
1?
:
a
look
of
shock

a
big
smile.
I

this
without
having
to
get
in
and
out
of
the
car
to
help
people.
???
Here
is
how
it
"works".
When
I
see
gloves,
warm
hats
and
scarves
on
sale
(new
or
in
good
condition
from
a
second-hand
store),
I

them
very
?

If
laundering(洗涤)
is

I
do

4?
?tiny
stains(污渍)
so
everything
looks
good.
???
I
have
a
large
basket
that
I
keep
in
the
passenger
side
of
my
car
and
I
"file"
these
things
in
it,
where
I
can
easily
reach
over
and
get
whatever
I
determine
is
most??
5?
?for
someone
who
is
without

out
in
the
cold.

I
am
always??
6?
?of
things
and
people
around
me
in
parking
lots
and
along
the
walkways
of
my
small
hometown.
But
when
I
see
someone
obviously
cold
and
without
what
will
help
them,
I??
7?
?beside
them,
roll
down
my
?
8?
,
and
ask
if
they
will??
9?
?and
wear
all
three
things
or
whatever
is
needed…
and
then
as
they
stare
at
me
in
?
10?
,
I
always
add:
"I

?hostility(敌意)

since
so

阅读下列材料,
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。
???
I'm
a
devoted
environmentalist.
Every
month
I
bring
several
bags
of
carefully
cleaned
bottles
to
the
recycling
center,
pour
them
into
blue
barrels(桶)
for
weighing,
and
walk
away
with
a
few
dollars
per
bag.
???
The
last
time
I
went,
there
was
a
long
line.
A
white-haired
man
was
growing
impatient
with
the
clerk,
who
explained
that
the
scale(秤)
was
not
working
and
would
have
to
be
reset.
The
elderly
man
rolled
his
eyes
as
the
clerk
apologized
for
the
delay(拖延)
and
said
that
it
would
just
take
another
minute.
His
air
of
dissatisfaction
was
obvious
as
he
tapped
one
foot
and
folded
his
arms
across
his
chest.
???
The
next
person
in
line
was
a
bearded
man
whose
hair
was
so
messy
that
it
looked
like
he
had
been
through
a
windstorm.
His
clothing
was
mismatched
and
dirty
and
hung
loosely
as
if
he
had
lost
a
lot
of
weight.
He
looked
up
at
me
from
behind
a
blue
barrel
filled
with
glass
bottles.
???
I
was
looking
for
empty
barrels
when
he
handed
me
one.
"Here,
you
don't
need
to
get
your
hands
dirty,"
he
offered
with
a
shy
smile.
He
was
right
about
one
thing.
Those
barrels
are
really
dirty,
with
enough
spilled
soda
and
beer
to
attract
numerous
bees
and
flies.
I
always
come
equipped
with
wipes
and
have
occasionally
worn
gloves.
???
Normally,
when
a
man
offers
to
help
me
carry
something,
I
always
say,
"I
can
do
it''
or
"Thanks
but
I
don't
need
any
help."
There
was,
however,
the
fellow
with
honesty
that
made
me
hard
to
refuse.
I
thanked
him
for
the
barrel
and
began
to
open
my
first
bag.
"I
can
help
you
with
that,"
he
offered.
Paragraph
1:
???
Again
I
wanted
to
tell
him
that
I
could
do
it
myself.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph
2:
???
I
decided
to
reward
him
for
his
kindness.

第二节
答案:DFCAG
解析:①横线后一句“When
the
Titanic
disaster
happened,
Telegrams
stating
that
all
the
passengers
from
the
Titanic
had
been
rescued
were
reported
as
fact
in
newspapers”告诉我们当泰坦尼克号沉没的时候,新闻报道说所有乘客都获救了。这属于典型的虚假新闻,列举的是错误报道的例子,所以D项“Here
is
a
good
example
of
misreporting.”符合语境,故选择D项。
②横线后一句“In
the
early
20th
century
it
took
years
rather
than
seconds
but
the
principle
was
the
same.”告诉我们在20世纪早期虚假新闻的传播要好几年,而现在只要几秒钟。虽然时间差别很大,但是这种病毒式传播虚假新闻的原则是一样的,所以F项“Going
viral
is
another
typical
characteristic
of
fake
news.”符合语境,故选择F项。
③横线前一句中列举事例告诉我们实际上Jeremy
Corbyn在国会上并不需要向女王鞠躬,但他拒绝向女王鞠躬的新闻已经传播出去了,至于最终是否是真实的并不重要。所以C项“But
that
didn't
matter,
the
story
was
out.”符合语境,故选择C项。
④本段最后一句“The
websites
with
fake
news
can
easily
get
astonishing
hits,
which
then
attracts
advertisements
and
thus
earn
the
website
owners
a
nice
profit.”告诉我们虚假新闻刊登在网站上,引起更多人点击这个新闻,会吸引广告商在这个网站上投放广告,网站的所有者就可以挣钱了。该句解释了A项“How
does
that
make
money?”所提出的问题。故选择A项。
⑤本段第一句“The
good
news
is
that
a
number
of
new
media
organizations
are
trying
to
encourage
us
to
think
about
where
news
comes
from,
who
puts
it
out,
and
whether
anyone
can
politically,
financially
or
ideologically
gain
from
it,
before
we
share
it
around
social
media.”告诉我们很多新闻媒体鼓励人们在传播信息之前要仔细思考这个消息的来源以及谁能够从中获利等。这样做能够更好地确定新闻的真实性。G项“Thus
we
can
give
it
certain
respectability
and
trustworthiness.”符合语境,故选择G项。

第二节
Paragraph
1:
???
Again
I
wanted
to
tell
him
that
I
could
do
it
myself.
Before
I
could
utter
a
word,
the
bearded
fellow,
in
his
ill-fitting
clothes,
efficiently
placed
the
dirty
barrel
in
front
of
me
and
began
to
pour
in
my
carefully
cleaned
bottles.
As
he
started
to
fill
the
second
barrel,
he
said,
"You
can
go
ahead
of
me.
You
must
be
busy
and
I've
got
all
day."
Then
I
noticed
the
white-haired
man
turning
around
to
observe
us.
He
was
surprised
to
find
a
neat
woman
talking
with
such
a
fellow
in
a
warm
way.
Paragraph
2:
???
I
decided
to
reward
him
for
his
kindness.
The
only
problem
was
how
to
do
it
without
insulting
him.
Finally,
I
hit
on
a
plan.
"You're
right,"
I
said.
"You
could
help
me
out
by
turning
in
all
my
bottles."
He
looked
confused.
"How
will
you
get
your
money?"
"I
don't
really
need
it.
I
just
want
to
get
rid
of
the
bottles.
You'd
be
doing
me
a
favor
if
you
could
take
care
of
them
for
me."
His
shy
smile
broadened
to
a
wide
grin.
"Okay,
but
I
owe
you
one,"
he
said.
"No,
we're
even!"
The
bottles
he'd
brought
might
have
been
worth
two
or
three
dollars.
I
wondered
what
he
could
get
with
that:
maybe
a
burger
or
a
bag
of
biscuits.
