Mary Wollstonecraft, a famous writer, was born on April 27, 1759 in Spitalfields, London. She grew up in a difficult family situation. His father was violent and drunken every day. In 1778, she was tired of such a life and decided to take a job as a lady’s companion to Sarah Dawson. This proved a difficult experience as she didn’t get on well with the old lady.
However, around this time, she made friends with Fanny Blood, who played an important role in widening Mary’s ideas. The two became very close and Fanny Blood’s death in 1785 was quite a shock to Mary.
For a while, Mary worked as a tutor in a large Irish family. She had a talent for teaching but took a dislike to Lady Kingsborough. To Mary, Kingsborough was not an ideal woman. In Lady Kingsborough, she saw a woman with no real independence, but primarily concerned with appearances and pleasing men. Mary later developed her thoughts on the concept of a good wife.
Mary had a desire to become a writer. Mary returned to London where she met with famous men such as Thomas Paine, William Godwin and Joseph Johnson. In London, she became more aware of new political and philosophical ideas. The late eighteenth century was an era of change. The old “divine rights (王权神受)” of kings was being replaced with greater faith in human reason and liberty.
In 1790, she wrote the Vindication of the Rights of Men. This sought to defend (保卫) the principles of the French Revolution against Edmund Burke’s conservative critique (批评). Shortly after the Vindication of the Rights of Men, Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This was a ground-breaking book, as it proposed women were the equal of men.
24. How old was Mary when she met Sarah Dawson
A. 19. B. 26. C. 31. D. 33.
25. What gave Mary strength during her early difficult time
A. Meeting with Thomas Paine. B. Teaching in an Irish family.
C. Fanny Blood’s friendship. D. Lady Kingsborough’s guidance.
26. What did Mary say about Kingsborough
A. She was a good wife. B. She was a talented woman.
C. She was very beautiful. D. She was kind of dependent.
27. What idea does A Vindication of the Rights of Women mainly deliver
A. Women should unite to fight to the death.
B. Women should have the same rights with men.
C. Women should serve as good wives for men.
D. Women should maintain their relationships with men.
C
Technologically, the 20-yearjump from 2015 to 2035 will be huge. Back in 1995 we were in the early days of the Internet, we worked in small rooms and our computers were heavy and powered by Windows 95. There were no touch screen phones or flat screen TVs; people laughed at the idea of reading electronic books.
So, what will our world really be like in 2035 What will the future jobs and technology be like The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter and more automatic. We can see the future of our work first.
Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving Uber cars and receptionists will be replaced by robots. Doctors can use vast medical databases and travel agents will be wiped out by trip-planning, flight-booking web services. Even writers are threatened by companies such as Narrative Science, which currently uses AI to create sports reports and financial updates.
Obviously, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer who fixes the self-driving Uber taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical (垂直的) farmers. Technology will continue to disrupt (扰乱) businesses and get rid of jobs, creating new professions we can’t yet envisage now.
Those of us who work probably won’t do so in a traditional office either. We’re already seeing a shift in the definition of work. It’s now a task you perform, not a place you go to. Productivity is no longer measured by sitting at a desk. There’s no nine to five. No job for life.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that you save a lot of time commuting back and forth to work. You can spend extra time with your children or spouse and read the newspaper instead of sitting in traffic. Of course, advanced technology will ensure that most of us can work from home.
28. What’s the function of the questions in paragraph 2
A. Leading in the topic of the article. B. Raising the thinking of the readers.
C. Introducing the work of the future. D. Inspiring readers to explore the future.
29. What does the underlined word “envisage” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Assess. B. Ignore. C. Imagine. D. Reject.
30. Where will most people work in the future
A. In the office. B. At the hotel. C. In the open air. D. At home.
31. What will be discussed in the following paragraph
A. The future health. B. The future technology.
C. The future marriage. D. The future transportation.
D
Many cities in the United States could grow their own food locally, raising enough crops and cattle to meet the needs of all residents. This is the finding of an interesting new modeling study from Tufts University, which analyzed the potential for local food production in 378 areas across the US and expected food production.
The researchers found that cities in the Northwest in the United States had the greatest potential to raise their own food. Cities along the Eastern seaside and in the Southwest had the least potential and would not be able to meet all their own needs of diet, even if every acre of agricultural land was used for food production. This makes sense, as many of the cities are coastal and lack room for agricultural spreading.
The study revealed that the United States have a surplus (多余的) of agricultural land for feeding the domestic (国内的) population. Currently, some land is used to raise export crops, but a focus on local food production would start a conversation about how that land gets used. In the words of Peters, lead author and associate professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts, “It would be important to make sure policies for supporting local or regional food production benefit conservation and create opportunities for farmers to adopt more sustainable (可持续的) practices. Policies should also recognize the ability of the natural resources in a given local or region and consider the supply chain, including ability for food processing and storage.”
Although it’s a far cry from the current reality, it is a nice thought to imagine cities surrounded by food production operations that transport freshly harvested food to nearby homes, and then make use of the leftover food to fertilize fields and generate heat for greenhouses.
32. The cities along the Eastern seaside fail to provide enough food because _________.
A. citizens are unwilling to grow crops B. the methods of food production are wrong
C. they don’t have enough land to grow crops D. their climate limits the agricultural production
33. What will the focus on local food production lead to
A. More job opportunities for citizens. B. More specific policies about using land.
C. Conversations with the local government. D. A discussion on how to make use of land.
34. In which section can we read this text in a newspaper
A. Agriculture. B. Entertainment. C. Lifestyle. D. Sport.
35. What is the best title of this text
A. The US Government Stops Wasting Food B. Many Cities in the US Can Grow Their Own Food
C. Cities Learn to Grow Food From the Villages D. Farmers Have More Chances to Be Employed

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everybody needs a hobby. Having something you can do for fun is a great way to reduce stress and keep your mind occupied. 36 Here are some suggestions if you’re not sure what to pick up next.
Writing is a good way to decompress (减压) and be creative. You can write about anything you want! Writing can help you deal with stress or anxiety. 37 Other hobbies can get expensive quickly, but writing won’t cost more than a few notebooks and pens.
Learning an instrument is another great stress reducer. Listening to music is a great way to reduce stress—and so is playing it. Learning to play an instrument is both relaxing and fulfilling. You have so many options to pick from, from the violin to piano. 38
Indoor or outdoor gardening is a great hobby for stress reduction. 39 Gardening is a great hobby that takes dedication but offers great rewards. Not only does it help to reduce stress, but you’ll be able to harvest what you grow, or at least enjoy the aesthetics (美学).
40 Do you like to work with your hands Why not get crafty and create projects you can use in your everyday life Craft-based hobbies are great stress-busters (压力消除器) and give you the satisfaction of making something with your own hands. Your friends and family will love thoughtful gifts you make just for them!
And remember, your hobby should ease your stress, not cause more! Have fun with it. Explore and create.
A. Try out different things.
B. Best of all, it’s basically free!
C. But what kind of hobby should you choose
D. Make the handwork and channel your creativity.
E. Sometimes, the hardest part of gardening is choosing your plants!

The key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your ability to communicate well. It’s not the words that you use but your body language that speaks the 61 (loud). Body language is the use of physical behaviors and expressions to communicate nonverbally (非语言的), often done unknowingly.

In some instances, what comes out of your mouth and what you communicate through your body language may be two totally 67 (differ) things.

M: Hello, everyone, have you ever heard about the Sandwich Generation Actually, this phrase has nothing to do with food or the people who make sandwiches. It refers to the generation caught in the middle, or in other words, it is the middle-aged people who support both their parents and children whether financially, physically or emotionally. According to the Healthy China 2030, the average life expectancy of Chinese people will reach 79 years which is 2 years longer than that in 2018. As people live longer, the Sandwich Generation is becoming more and more common. Becoming a part of the Sandwich Generation can affect your financial status, personal time, health, and career development. Although both men and women are involved, women are the ones who are primarily affected. Most women have common difficulties in dealing with various aspects including children, older parents, family, work, and personal well-being. Although they are encouraged to go into the workforce, nursery supply remains the biggest problem for them. But I don’t think it is an unsolvable problem. In my opinion, if the government gives financial support to take care of children and parents, it will greatly reduce the burden on the Sandwich Generation.

One possible version:
Which would you give up, TV, cell or Web
The question is interesting but hard to answer, I think. As is known to us all, TV, cell and Web are all important for us. In spite of that, I’d prefer to give up the cell if I should have to give up one of them.
Though it’s quite convenient when it comes to communication, the cell has so many disadvantages. For one thing, using the cell too often will lead to our poor hearing, even illness; for another some students often cheat in exams through the cell, thus giving rise to their dishonesty.
In my opinion, the TV and Web have more advantages, including the latest news, interesting TV plays as well as some games. Besides, we cannot bring the TV and Web with us all the time so that we can enjoy our school time without being disturbed.
