Hope Matters
Reyes Guana, 42, grew up in a poor Mexican family. He has seven brothers and sisters. His parents always had two jobs to make ends meet.
As a boy, Guana had a good relationship with the school cleaner. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. The boy liked how Nike made everything clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. “Well, it’s good if you want to be a cleaner,” Nike told little Guana. “But make sure you go to college.”
Guana also looked up to the principal(校长) of his school. The school leader told the boy that his job was to help students and teachers. “Wow, when I grow up, I want to do what you’re doing,” Guana told him. “Well, if you stick to your dream, you will,” the principal replied.
And Guana really got there. But it was quite a long journey for him. Twenty-three years ago, he followed in Nike’s footsteps and was cleaning schools. He worked at three schools to pay for his college education. He held that job for four years and then worked his way up to being a school safety monitor. After that, he worked as a teacher for a few years.
Now, as a principal, Guana never forgets where he came from. He helps students from poor families and shows respect(尊重) for every school staff member. He always invites everyone to school parties, including those who clean the floors and those who drive the school buses.
21.Guana became a school safety monitor .

Chinese buyers used to praise foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.
"Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones," billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
"When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China which Western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias".
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance(器具) brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China' is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies — HUAWEI, OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
24.What is this passage mainly about
A. The quality of "Made in China".
B. The change in Chinese buyers' thinking.
C. Chinese products in the eyes of foreigners.
D. The difference between foreign buyers and Chinese buyers.
25.Which of the following is true according to the text
A. More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B. Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.
C. More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.
D. Older Chinese people don't like foreign products any more.
26.Which fact best explains "home brand bias"
A. Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B. More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C. Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D. William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
27.What's the best title for this passage
A. Chinese products get more popular at home
B. Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands
C. "Made in China" is welcomed all over the world
D. Apple has lost large ground to HUAWEI in China
C
No matter what happened in the past and what may or may not happen in the future, the present moment is where you are. Generally speaking, our happiness depends on how much we are able to live in the present moment.
On the one hand, our present moments are often controlled by the past problems and future focus, so that we become anxious and helpless. On the other hand, our important things, and our happiness. We often convince ourselves future will be better than today. John Lennon once said, “life is what’s happening while we are busy making other plans.” When we are busy making other plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss our life.
Many people believe that their life will be better in the future. In fact, no one can be sure what he or she will achieve tomorrow. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the worry about events that might happen in the future — we won’t have enough money, we will get older and weaker, whatever.
To overcome fear, the best way is bringing your attention back to enjoy the present. Mark Twain said, “I have experienced some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened. I don’t think I can say it any better. Keeping your attention on the here and now.”
28．People’s happiness is probably in ________ according to the writer.
A．the past B．the present C．the future D．the experience
29．In the writer’s opinion, fear comes from ________.
A．past problems hidden in our heart B．attention on the present
C．worry about the future D．efforts to take action
30．What does the underlined word “overcome” mean in the passage
A．get over B．put down C．end up D．put off
31．What is the best title for the passage
A．Dreaming Of the Future B．Worries about the Past
C．Prepare for the Future D．Live in the Present Moment
D
A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today’s buildings, underwater ＂bubble＂ cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.
Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the prediction(预言) they thought were most likely(很可能的) to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download (下载) a design for furniture or a food recipe and then ＂print＂ the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English.
32．The writer uses the example of the Internet in Paragraph 1 to show ________.
A．the Internet was often used B．the Internet has developed fast
C．people will not believe the changes D．technology will change people’s lives
33．With the help of highly developed 3-D printers, a way to get a sofa in 2116 is to ________.
A．buy one in a shop B．ask somebody to make one
C．download a design and ＂print＂ one D．design and make one by oneself
34．According to the passage, the missing prediction is ________.
A．how people will work
B．where people will get resources
C．what people will have at home to treat illness
D．whether people will still need to learn English
35．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the life in 2116 B．holidays in space
C．the history of the Internet D．medical treatment

【答案】B
【解析】句意：——他们结婚多久了 ——大约10年了。
考查现在完成时。根据“For about 10 years”可知用现在完成时，根据marry是瞬间动词，瞬间动词不能与一段时间连用，应变成相应的延续性动词；这句话可用“be married”，故选B。

【解析】句意：现在许多老人独自待在家里，所以他们经常感觉很孤独。
考查形容词和副词用法。lonely孤独的，形容词，带有感彩；alone独自（的），副词和形容词，不带感彩。根据语境可知“老人在家里”讲述的是一个事实，而“他们感觉很孤独”带有强烈的感彩；第一空修饰动词stay用副词alone，第二空系动词feel后跟形容词lonely作表语，故选C。

【解析】文章讲述了作者在公车站等朋友时，遇见了一个卖鞋的年轻人，听对方讲诉自己的故事。作者原本好奇为何一个人会对陌生人如此畅所欲言，随即作者意识到：我们经常会遇见内心困苦的人们，他们并没有人可以倾诉。作者经常花时间与这些人一起，听他们的故事，帮助他们的同时，自己也从别人的经历中学到一些东西，并认识到生活的另一面。
11.句意：一个男人来卖鞋。
shoes鞋子；socks袜子；flowers花；books书。根据后文“You know, I wasn't born like this, selling shoes”可知，男子是卖鞋的，故选A。
12.句意：年轻人走近我，站在我旁边，开始和我说话。
between在两者之间；behind在……后面；below在……下面；beside在旁边，靠紧。根据前句“the young man came closer”可知，此处应该是指“站我旁边”，故选D。
13.句意：我曾有一个家，但一天我的生活整个颠覆了，我拥有的一切都没了。
lifted举起；managed管理；turned转动，旋转，变化；entered进入；根据“I had a family, but one day my life just…upside down and all was gone,”结合选项可推出，此处指的是指“倒置，翻转，陷入混乱”的意思，英语是turn upside down，故选C。
14.句意：那对他来说真的是一段艰难的时光，他当时很痛苦。
sleepy困倦的，想睡的；awful糟糕的；tiny微小的；painful痛苦，疼痛的。根据“It was really a hard time for him”可知，此处指的是“痛苦的”，故选D。

preferred更喜欢；regretted后悔；decided决定；wished希望。根据前句“He had nothing”以及then可知，此处指的是“决定卖鞋”，故选C。
16.句意：但我还是很惊讶，怎么会有人对这样一个完全陌生的人如此敞开心扉。
glad高兴的；surprised惊讶的；sad伤心的；mad疯狂的。根据后文“how someone could be so open to a total stranger like that”可知，作者对这种行为应该是“惊讶的”，故选B。
17.句意：后来我意识到有些人用这种方式得到解脱。
money钱；victory胜利；fame名声；relief安慰，减轻。根据文中后面提及的“We often meet people with troubles in their hearts. For some of them, there isn’t anybody to listen to them”可知，这里指的是“通过对陌生人倾诉去减轻压力，得到安慰”，故选D。
18.句意：对他们中的一些人来说，没有人听他们的，所以我学会了对他们友善。
because因为；so所以；although尽管，但是；but但是。分析句子结构可知，“For some of them, there isn’t anybody to listen to them”与“I’ve learned to be kind to them”两句之间是因果关系，后句表达的是结果，所以用so连接，故选B。
19.句意：这样做，听话的人不仅可以帮助别人，而且可以帮助自己。
which哪个；who谁；why为什么；when什么时候。分析句子结构可知，这里是一个定语从句，先行词the one在句中指代的是人，且在从句中做主语，所以用who引导，故选B。
20.句意：因为他从别人表达的东西中得到了一些东西，并看到了生活的其他方面。
express表达；perform表演；educate教育；receive接受；根据语境理解及前文“I always spare my time to listen to them.”可知，此处指的是“倾听别人”，故选A。

Hope Matters
Reyes Guana, 42, grew up in a poor Mexican family. He has seven brothers and sisters. His parents always had two jobs to make ends meet.
As a boy, Guana had a good relationship with the school cleaner. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. The boy liked how Nike made everything clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. “Well, it’s good if you want to be a cleaner,” Nike told little Guana. “But make sure you go to college.”
Guana also looked up to the principal(校长) of his school. The school leader told the boy that his job was to help students and teachers. “Wow, when I grow up, I want to do what you’re doing,” Guana told him. “Well, if you stick to your dream, you will,” the principal replied.
And Guana really got there. But it was quite a long journey for him. Twenty-three years ago, he followed in Nike’s footsteps and was cleaning schools.

Chinese buyers used to praise foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.
"Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones," billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
"When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China which Western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias".
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance(器具) brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China' is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies — HUAWEI, OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
24.What is this passage mainly about
A. The quality of "Made in China".
B. The change in Chinese buyers' thinking.
C. Chinese products in the eyes of foreigners.
D. The difference between foreign buyers and Chinese buyers.
25.Which of the following is true according to the text
A. More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B. Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.
C. More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.
D. Older Chinese people don't like foreign products any more.
26.Which fact best explains "home brand bias"
A. Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B. More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C. Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D. William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
27.What's the best title for this passage
A. Chinese products get more popular at home
B. Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands
C. "Made in China" is welcomed all over the world
D. Apple has lost large ground to HUAWEI in China

No matter what happened in the past and what may or may not happen in the future, the present moment is where you are. Generally speaking, our happiness depends on how much we are able to live in the present moment.
On the one hand, our present moments are often controlled by the past problems and future focus, so that we become anxious and helpless. On the other hand, our important things, and our happiness. We often convince ourselves future will be better than today. John Lennon once said, “life is what’s happening while we are busy making other plans.” When we are busy making other plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss our life.
Many people believe that their life will be better in the future. In fact, no one can be sure what he or she will achieve tomorrow. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the worry about events that might happen in the future — we won’t have enough money, we will get older and weaker, whatever.
To overcome fear, the best way is bringing your attention back to enjoy the present. Mark Twain said, “I have experienced some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened. I don’t think I can say it any better. Keeping your attention on the here and now.”
28．People’s happiness is probably in ________ according to the writer.
A．the past B．the present C．the future D．the experience
29．In the writer’s opinion, fear comes from ________.
A．past problems hidden in our heart B．attention on the present
C．worry about the future D．efforts to take action
30．What does the underlined word “overcome” mean in the passage
A．get over B．put down C．end up D．put off
31．What is the best title for the passage
A．Dreaming Of the Future B．Worries about the Past
C．Prepare for the Future D．Live in the Present Moment
【答案】BCAD
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过举例子、说事实告诉我们要活在当下，才能幸福。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“our happiness depends on how much we are able to live in the present moment”可知，我们的幸福取决于我们能够活在当下，故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Fear is the worry about events that might happen in the future”可知，恐惧是对未来可能发生的事的担忧，故选C。
30．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“the best way is bringing your attention back to enjoy the present”可知，最好的方法是让你的注意力回到当下，这是克服恐惧的方法，所以推知overcome是“战胜，克服”的意思，get over“克服”，故选A。
31．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要通过举例子、说事实告诉我们要活在当下，才能幸福，所以D项“活在当下”最符合文章标题，故选D。
D
A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today’s buildings, underwater ＂bubble＂ cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.
Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the prediction(预言) they thought were most likely(很可能的) to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download (下载) a design for furniture or a food recipe and then ＂print＂ the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English.
32．The writer uses the example of the Internet in Paragraph 1 to show ________.
A．the Internet was often used B．the Internet has developed fast
C．people will not believe the changes D．technology will change people’s lives
33．With the help of highly developed 3-D printers, a way to get a sofa in 2116 is to ________.
A．buy one in a shop B．ask somebody to make one
C．download a design and ＂print＂ one D．design and make one by oneself
34．According to the passage, the missing prediction is ________.
A．how people will work
B．where people will get resources
C．what people will have at home to treat illness
D．whether people will still need to learn English
35．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．the life in 2116 B．holidays in space
C．the history of the Internet D．medical treatment
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．D 35．A
【解析】试题分析：本文描述了一百年后人类的生活情况：更多的高楼、水下城市、太空旅游、3D打印……，人类的生活会与现在大不一样，而且许多人相信这一切将会发生。
32．推理判断题。 根据上文“They said the way we live，work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today．他们认为2116年的生活、工作以及出游方式将与当今截然不同．”可知想利用互联网来表明：未来生活将因科技会发生很大变化，故选D。
33．细节理解题。 根据“People will have highly developed 3﹣D printers that will let you download a design for furniture or a food recipe and then ‘print’ the sofa，table or pizza at home．通过先进的3D打印机，人们可以下载家具设计以及美食菜谱，通过它们在家‘打印’沙发、桌子或是披萨。”故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据下文“A prediction that is missing is whether people will still need to study English．”可知人们不知道未来还需不需要学习英语．故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据“A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years now．有一份报告预测了100年后人类的生活．”可知这篇短文主要是关于2116年的生活，故选A。
