The Albuquerque Balloon Festival
Every autumn, the sky above the city of Albuquerque in the south-western United States turns into a mass of bright colours. This is the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, a nine-day event.
The first festival was held in 1972 to celebrate the 50th birthday of the local radio station. There were about 12 hot-air balloons and they took off from the car park in the middle of Albuquerque. From these small beginnings the festival has grown steadily. This year at least a thousand balloons are expected at its current out-of-town site.
What to do
The pilots light up the burners of their balloons at the same time. These are known as “balloon glows”. However, you must arrive just after night has fallen or before 5:30 am to see these “glows” as the balloons rise into the dark sky.
During the day, you can walk around among the balloons. The balloons come in all sizes and colours, some in the shapes of animals or cartoon characters.
In the afternoon, why not take to the sky yourself by booking a balloon flight with the Rainbow Ryders This company is allowed to take guests during flight. Another possibility is to take the cable car (缆车) to the top of the nearby mountains and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the festival.
There are other attractions for visitors of all ages, including balloon races.
Practical advice
Tickets are available online. Buy them in advance and save yourself a long wait to get into the festival site. Wear several layers of clothing. At night and in the early morning it can be quite cool, but during the day sunglasses are necessary. Bring a flashlight for night-time events and, of course, bring your digital camera for evening and night-time pictures.
21. What do we know about the Albuquerque Balloon Festival
A. It runs for nine days.
B. It started as a big event.
C. It takes place every two years.
D. It was held in memory of a pilot.
22. What can you do with the Rainbow Ryders during the festival
A. Take a cable car tour.
B. Ride a hot-air balloon.
C. Enter balloon competitions.
D. Make balloons in different shapes.
23. What are you advised to do to attend the festival
A. Wear cool clothes.
B. Buy tickets online.
C. Arrive in the early morning.
D. Take pictures in the daytime.

When Alex Petrie went to stay with his father, he noticed that the 75-year-old walked around several times during the night. This was worrying: his father lived alone and had recently been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia (路易体失智症).
“I was feeling quite nervous about it and wondered if he was doing it every night,” says Petrie. “It's not nice to think that he's worried or can't sleep properly.”
But Petrie had recently installed (安装) a smart home system, Howz, in his father's flat. It uses sensors to track movements, feeding the data into an app that family members and close friends can access. Once the Howz system has analysed and established someone's habitual way of doing things, it will send alerts (警报) to the app if there are any changes. For example, if a sensor usually senses movement before 8 am each day — signalling the time the person normally gets up — an alert will be sent if there has been no movement by that time. Relatives can then call in to make sure everything is okay.
Using the app, Petrie could see that his father usually got a good night's sleep and very rarely walked about during the night. With this knowledge, he was able to provide the right kind of support and care when his father did have a sleepless night.
Howz, which was developed by Intelesant, a Manchester-based health tech company, aims to help people live independently in their own homes and provide peace of mind for their relatives.
Petrie set up two sensors in his father's flat: one on the front door and another in the hall. “The door sensor is important as I can see whether his carers have visited. It doesn't tell me who has visited but it's easy to find out by the time of the day. The sensor in the hall covers the most commonly used area of the flat. It gives us a near-continuous view of whether he's up and about. It's a little safety net,” says Petrie.
24. What was the problem with Petrie's father
A. He insisted on living alone.
B. He didn't like the care home.
C. He always went out for a walk at night.
D. He sometimes couldn't fall asleep at night.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How Howz works.
B. How Howz is tested.
C. Who invented Howz.
D. Why Howz was created.
26. What does Petrie think of Howz
A. It isn't privacy-friendly.
B. It isn't safe enough.
C. It is quite helpful.
D. It is big business.
27. What does the author want to tell us in the text
A. Tech shortens the distance between people.
B. Tech is benefiting people's daily life.
C. Tech affects the way people work.
D. Tech is slowing down aging.
C
A new study shows that the household consumers (家庭消费者) are focusing more on reducing their energy costs by using technologically advanced home appliances. The lighting control held the largest share in the smart home market in 2016. The increase in the adoption (采用) rate of intelligent lighting controls by households worldwide has fuelled the growth of the smart home market. These have the ability to reduce electricity consumption because they adjust (调节) the artificial light according to the surroundings.
Four years ago, I was in a discussion about Nest Thermostat (恒温器), sharing my view that if a house is built properly, it doesn't need a smart thermostat. It probably wouldn't do much good there because with careful placement of high-quality windows, you seldom need to heat or cool it at all. Since then, other studies have shown that in a leaky old house, smart thermostats can be very effective and save energy.
But is smart lighting saving energy A smart lighting system might turn off or adjust the brightness of a bulb (灯泡), but an LED bulb already uses very little electricity, say 7 watts per bulb. But when you make it smart, it is always connected, consuming a bit of power to talk to the controller or bridge; one guy with a meter tested it at 0.4 watts per hour, or 9.6 watts in a day. It means that if you have a pile of smart bulbs and devices, you are consuming a fair bit of electricity.
Except for smart thermostats in leaky houses, none in the smart market saves energy. Asking Siri, voice control on any of Apple devices, to turn off the lights is fun, but we would be better off in terms of energy and exercise if we got up and reached for a light switch. Rather than saving energy, the smart home is wasting it.
28. What does the underlined word “fuelled” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Controlled.
B. Promoted.
C. Predicted.
D. Detected.
29. What does the author think of smart thermostats
A. They are well-designed.
B. They are energy-efficient.
C. They are not very useful.
D. They are not always automatic.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us
A. LED bulbs are very bright.
B. LED bulbs are of little value.
C. Smart lighting has developed quickly.
D. Smart lighting does little to save electricity.
31. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. To use Siri for fun.
B. To improve smart lighting.
C. To give up smart thermostats completely.
D. To turn to the traditional way of turning off lights.
D
Since I learned that shoppers who do less research are happier with their purchases ( 购买的东西), I've been proud of my “good enough” method of shopping. Unlike my husband, who does weeks of research, looking at various choices, and weighing his preferences compared to costs, I always buy the first item I come across that fits my needs and price range.
According to Barry Schwartz, author of the book The Paradox of Choice, my method of shopping is called “satisficing,” while my husband engages in ( 参与)“maximizing.” Maximizers want the best and believe that there's a perfect one of whatever they're looking for. Satisficers, on the other hand, focus on what will be good enough to meet their minimum (最低的) standards.
I recently purchased a desk chair. I wanted one that offered more lumbar ( 腰部的) support, so I went to a store and picked out a chair that felt comfortable and was within my price range. I was happy with my purchase for six months, until the day I put just a little weight on the back of the chair, and it broke. Turned out that the chair's back was made of particle board and it was just a matter of time before some weight broke the board. Now I have to buy a new one. It would have been less expensive if I'd researched various chairs, even if I'd ended up with a pricier chair.
While I am very much a satisficer, there are purchases that bring out the maximizer in me. One of them is blank notebooks. Recently I spent nearly two hours looking through the notebooks at a store to find the perfect one for a creative project. While I could use any notebook to take notes and draw pictures, the one I found fitted the project I had in mind.
While I'm always glad to be a satisficer, I admit my satisficing ways can sometimes prevent me from getting the satisfaction of finding exactly what I want. I know making sure that I raise my standards and get the enjoyment of finding the right choice for me will help me to enjoy the best of both worlds.
32. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1
A. She dislikes shopping at all.
B. She wants every purchase to be perfect.
C. She is proud of every choice she has made.
D. She is a quick decision-maker when shopping.
33. Why does the author mention her experience of buying a desk chair
A. To suggest that satisficing can save time.
B. To show that satisficing can often be silly.
C. To show that satisficing can be expensive.
D. To prove that satisficing can bring happiness.
34. How did the author feel about the notebook she bought
A. She regretted buying it.
B. She felt satisfied with it.
C. She thought it was affordable.
D. She found it was not good enough.
35. What does the author learn from her shopping experiences
A. It pays to be a patient shopper.
B. Shopping can provide pleasure.
C. Spending wisely saves one trouble.
D. One never wastes time on what to buy.

By 2050 we'll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 36 Teenagers will love it. Instead of putting an emoticon (表情符号) at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement.
I'm talking about telepathy ( 心灵感应), really. We'll still communicate the traditional way. 37 Our children will wonder, What is a keyboard We will enter the age of the “brain net”.
Medicine will develop fast, too. We will have cured certain forms of cancer, and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We'll live with it. It will no longer be deadly. 38
Technology will help in this respect. 39 Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies ( 液体活检) to discover cancer cells. Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.
40 By 2050 I think we'll be able to grow many of the important organs (器官) of the body and, rather than allow the organs we're born with to become old and weak, we'll replace them. That's all coming. And it doesn't take much imagination to realise it.
A. We will do a few tests.
B. People will live an easy life.
C. We won't fear it like we used to.
D. Brain science will have changed communication.
E. We can already use human cells to grow skin, noses, ears, etc.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It is possible to wake up first thing in the morning with excitement. But in order to do so, you need to turn your alarm clock into a positive trigger (触发器) first. To begin with, you need to set up a situation that's going to make the desired result happen, such as moving your alarm clock — the fact that the alarm clock is across the room or in some different room forces you out of bed to turn it off. And when you get out of bed, you're off to a good start.
If you don't have specific goals, you are unlikely to turn your alarm clock into a positive emotional trigger. In fact, without clear goals, you will have a hard time creating motivation (动机), happiness, hope, or a good future. You need very specific and realistic goals, because human beings are drawn toward the future, and only by owning specific goals can you own your future.
Everyone follows a routine in daily life. The point of a routine is to make the process smooth so you can make progress. However, what got you here won't get you there. Just because one routine helped you in the past doesn't mean it will help you now. For example, for over 3 years, I woke up, walked to a nearby coffee shop and wrote articles there. That routine helped me become a successful author. But that routine isn't fit for who I am now. To stay healthy, I recently started running first thing in the morning.
The last tip is starting your activity as soon as possible. If you wake up first thing in the morning but don't get up at once, your brain will remain fuzzy (模糊的) longer than it needs to. How you spend the first few moments of your morning sends a powerful signal to your brain about how the rest of the day will go. If you wake up and immediately get going on a task, your brain will activate very quickly. The longer it takes to get started on your first task, the harder it will be to make progress.

One possible version:
Dear friends,
The development of medical technology is creating a world where robots may play a more and more important part in curing the sick.
DNA nanobots may sound like science fiction, but recent research has shown that DNA nanobots are new tools to treat cancer and other diseases. Researchers use DNA to build nanobots, which can detect cancer cells and destroy them.
By providing assistance to hospitals, medical robotics can bring down the cost of healthcare, get rid of human error, reduce operating time, and free up staff for more pressing matters.
Thank you.
