Eddie Browning and his wife Cindy were living in a run-down camper that had been ruined by a fire. Because of its poor state, the couple found themselves freezing during the cold weather. Sadly, they couldn’t afford to have it repaired.
They desperately needed a roof over their head and prayed every night that they would someday have a home. Eventually, their prayers were answered—and they have children to thank for it. Dozens of students from Elm Street Elementary in Rome, Georgia, and volunteers built a tiny house for Eddie and Cindy in 2017. The group presented it to the couple at the Georgia Tiny House Festival in Eatonton at the Lavender Farm.
The couple was overwhelmed with delight upon seeing their new home. And they were surprised to hear that this project was initiated by school children. The students had started constructing the tiny house a year before but could not present it to the Brownings because they didn’t have a place to legally put it. Thankfully, the Georgia Tiny House Festival and Lavender Farms organizers heard about their dilemma and allowed them to put it on the farm.
The groups’ act of kindness didn’t stop there. They also assisted the kids in adding electricity, plumbing, and a larger extension to the home. Eventually, what started out as a really tiny home with only sleeping bags, supplies, and a propane heater grew bigger than anyone had ever imagined.
The spirit of generosity further spread around. Soon, donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers began pitching to fill the house with appliances and make it livable for the Brownings. The project was so successful that the Elm Street Elementary School pledged to build a new house each year for a family who needed it. They even have a motto for their mission: “tiny house, big dreams.”

Several studies have shown that listening to music can be highly beneficial. One study revealed that music could improve blood flow in ways that decrease levels of stress-related hormones and ease pain. But even without the knowledge of these research outcomes, we all know that music holds great power over our lives. How many times has music cheered us up when we were feeling down
The Croatian architect Nikola Basic understood the importance of music in people’s lives. So he came up with an unusual collaboration between an object and the ocean. In 2005, he designed a 230-foot morse orgulje, also known as the sea organ (风琴). The musical instrument is made up of a system of pipes and whistles that plays actual music as the waves of the Adriatic Sea push air through it.
At first glance, this invention might appear like an ordinary set of white stone steps, but its bottom stairs are covered in various holes. Water and wind enter through these openings, leading to chambers (室) within the giant instrument that connects to 35 organ pipes. As the waves flow, the air pushes through the inner channels, while the holes in the above steps sound out calming tunes.
This sea organ’s home is in Zadar, Croatia, which faced complete destruction during the Second World War. The city was eventually rebuilt, but it was filled with dull concrete structures that robbed the place of its natural charm. Seeking to restore it back to its former glory, local authorities brought in award-winning architect Nikola Basic, who, inspired by the hydraulis, an instrument built by the ancient Greeks that used water to push air through tuned pipes, designed and overlooked the construction of the sea organ.
Thanks to Basic’s artistic creation, life and joy have been brought back to the 3,000-year-old city. Now, it is a popular lunch place for tourists who want to feel the refreshing wind of the sea and hear the beautiful sounds coming from the sea organ.
8. What attitude does the author show in the first paragraph
A. He is quite sure of the importance of music.
B. He is against the conclusion of the studies.
C. He is in some doubt about the impact of music.
D. He is unconcerned about the results of the studies.
9. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The value of the invention. B. The structure of the instrument.
C. The principle of the invention. D. The appearance of the instrument.
10. What makes the sea organ unique and attractive
A. It was created by a famous architect.
B. It’s the combination of art and nature.
C. It’s located in a city with long history.
D. It was introduced from ancient Greek.
11. What can we infer about the city Zadar
A. It’s no longer popular after the destruction.
B. It has lost its natural resources after the war.
C. It is under constant construction at present.
D. It has come to life and become an attraction.
D
A sense of belonging to a group of co-workers is a better motivator for some employees than money, according to a study by University of Lowa researchers. “We find that some self-managed teams show increased performance, when their members work together well,” says Greg Stewart, the lead professor in the study.
At the beginning, Stewart’s group studied how managers of self-managed teams decided payment. They studied 587 workers in 45 self-managed teams in Lowa. The members were allowed to give suggestions on how much their teammates should be paid for their work. The managers collected their ideas and then made decisions. The members were asked about how much their team spirit attracted them, and managers were asked about the productivity of both individuals and teams.
“In high functioning teams the group members work actively with each other, and they encourage and support each other,” says Stephen Courtright, member of the research group. The reason is that peer pressure acts as an important social force. Members don’t want to disappoint their teammate, so team spirit is more effective even than money as a motivating tool. People have a social need to be accepted, to be regarded as a part of a group and want to perform well.
However, this works only when team members get along. When they don’t, then self-managed teams perform badly. When team members don’t care much for each other, Courtright says team spirit as a motivating factor won’t work. So money becomes the main motivating factor to improve productivity.
The carrot and stick method is that managers offer team members things in order to persuade them to work and punish them if they refuse. “Teams perform better when there is pressure from peers to perform well than when managers wave a carrot and stick,” Courtright says. “However, the carrot and stick method works well when team members just can’t get along.”
12. According to paragraph 2, what could members of the self-managed teams do
A. They took pride in their teams.
B. They put great efforts into their work.
C. They preferred team work to personal work.
D. They could advise managers on incomes of their teammates.
13. Why can some teams have high functions according to paragraph 3
A. Their team leaders are professional and strict.
B. Their team members get high money rewards.
C. Their members attach importance to team spirit.
D. Their team members have less work pressure.
14. What’s the key factor for team spirit to work well
A. Team members are highly educated.
B. Teammates care for their productivity.
C. Team leaders set clear goals for their work.
D. Team members have a good relationship with each other.
15. What does the study focus on
A How to deal with peer pressure at work.
B. How motivators work in jobs.
C. The advantages of self-managed teams.
D. The importance of building team spirit for managers.

Many graduation ceremonies look different. But for Melody Ormond, it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her—her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class at Kennesaw State University 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College in Kentucky. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody Ormond and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven R. Angle, UTC Chancellor,” Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops. Even if it’s auditing (旁听) a few classes, there’s always that option. “Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree — a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nana has taught her that she has plenty of time.
4. What was special for Melody’s graduation ceremony

The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are attracting a large number of audience.
In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80,000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don’t tell me that competitive gaming is real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is “an activity involving physical effort and skill.” I don’t think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of petition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are “not good” at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.
8. What are “e-sports” according to the text
A. Sports events on television screens.
B. Easy sports games for kids.
C. Video computer game competitions.
D. The latest sports in the Olympics.
9 What might the author think of “e-sports”
A. They are not instructive.
B. They should be banned in school.
C. They need too much time and money.
D. They have some negative influence on children.
10. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce a new kind of sport.
B. To introduce a competition held in Beijing.
C. To explain the importance of playing sports.
D. To call on people to pay more attention to traditional sports.
11. Where is this text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A brochure.
D
The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation (处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches (侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications－using apps like Face Time, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility (信任) is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed.
13. By taking the advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ______.
A. aim at victims precisely.
B. damage databases easily.
C. start campaigns rapidly.
D. spread information widely.
14. What does the text imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted.
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls.
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous.
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology.

On a Wednesday afternoon in the Eager Road of Oceola Township, Michigan, when a car showed no sign of movement at a stop sign, majority of the motorists honked wildly. Annoyed by the inconvenience the car was causing, the motorists simply drove around the car and left.
Fortunately, a 16-year-old motorist, Max Greenwood of Howell High had the heart to hop off his truck and find out what’s really going on. Because of his action, Max was able to inspire two other women to rush over the stopped car and help out the driver.
As it turned out, the driver of the stopped car was distressed. Initially, the three did not have a clue about the driver’s alarming situation. When the driver gathered enough strength to share what happened, Max and the two women quickly assisted him.
“He told the women he thought his blood sugar was low. He got progressively worse. One of the women gave him a Coke to help his sugar levels, but I could tell it wasn’t helping, so I called 911.” Max said.
Thanks to the quick thinking and actions of Max and the two women help arrived within a few minutes and the driver was transported to a hospital. According to the first medical responders, the man was suffering from a type of medical episode that must be aided immediately.
It is horrible to think what could have happened if Max did not concern himself with the reason why the car was not moving and simply minded his own business. Max may just be a 16-year-old student in the eyes of some people. But for the man he has saved, he surely is a modern hero with a golden heart. May his story inspire us to share a bit of our time to help the people we cross paths with! In this day and age, when a lot of kids don’t think about anyone but themselves, he stepped up and it made a difference.

Everyone loves a holiday! A little time off for some much-needed R & R (rest and relaxation) can be exactly the thing to refresh. That said, if you’re struggling to think of your next destination, then look no further. Don’t waste time debating, let your blood decide.
Everybody has a lineage (宗系). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken an ancestry DNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million.
This trend has been noticed by opportunistic travel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that both allows people to trace their heritage－by literally going back to their roots－and travel to the destinations where their ancestors originated from.
Airbnb, an online lodging marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing and analysis company, to offer recommendations that encourage travelers to walk in the footsteps of their forefathers. And they aren’t the only ones. The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin has its own advisor. Hellen Kelly offers consultations to help guests trace their Irish origin using official records. This allows them to ‘fill in the blanks of their Irish ancestry’, she told Good Morning America. The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers custom travels based on DNA tests. “These experiences are about exploring deeper into who we really are,” says Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveller. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.”
So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first Once you know how far your family has come, take the time to holiday back.
8. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text
A. To advise people to take a trip.
B. To persuade people to take a DNA test.

10. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on
A. Clubs providing luxury custom travels.
B. Hotels offering travelling consultations.
C. Companies offering DNA testing and analysis.
D. Travel operators providing services to trace the roots.
11. What does Rebecca Fielding think of the ancestry travel
A. Significant. B. Relaxing. C. Popular. D. Inspiring.
D
This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline.
“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.”
A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species.
But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.”
12. What should people do to protect insects according to the text
A. Stop building roads in parks and reserves.
B. Open up more natural habitats.
C. Avoid using pesticides for crops.
D. Keep them in a zoo.
13. What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects
A. They have set up laws.
B. They focus on specific species.
C. They conserve important species.
D. They protect the habitat of lesser known species.
14. What are the environmentalists doing now
A. Classifying the insects.
B. Identifying the species of insects.
C. Doing research on insects’ function.
D. Weighing insects collected in an area.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves!
B. Take Action! Insects Need Protection!
C. Save the Bees — They Need Your Help!
D. Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone

Eddie Browning and his wife Cindy were living in a run-down camper that had been ruined by a fire. Because of its poor state, the couple found themselves freezing during the cold weather. Sadly, they couldn’t afford to have it repaired.
They desperately needed a roof over their head and prayed every night that they would someday have a home. Eventually, their prayers were answered—and they have children to thank for it. Dozens of students from Elm Street Elementary in Rome, Georgia, and volunteers built a tiny house for Eddie and Cindy in 2017. The group presented it to the couple at the Georgia Tiny House Festival in Eatonton at the Lavender Farm.
The couple was overwhelmed with delight upon seeing their new home. And they were surprised to hear that this project was initiated by school children. The students had started constructing the tiny house a year before but could not present it to the Brownings because they didn’t have a place to legally put it. Thankfully, the Georgia Tiny House Festival and Lavender Farms organizers heard about their dilemma and allowed them to put it on the farm.
The groups’ act of kindness didn’t stop there. They also assisted the kids in adding electricity, plumbing, and a larger extension to the home. Eventually, what started out as a really tiny home with only sleeping bags, supplies, and a propane heater grew bigger than anyone had ever imagined.
The spirit of generosity further spread around. Soon, donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers began pitching to fill the house with appliances and make it livable for the Brownings. The project was so successful that the Elm Street Elementary School pledged to build a new house each year for a family who needed it. They even have a motto for their mission: “tiny house, big dreams.”

Several studies have shown that listening to music can be highly beneficial. One study revealed that music could improve blood flow in ways that decrease levels of stress-related hormones and ease pain. But even without the knowledge of these research outcomes, we all know that music holds great power over our lives. How many times has music cheered us up when we were feeling down
The Croatian architect Nikola Basic understood the importance of music in people’s lives. So he came up with an unusual collaboration between an object and the ocean. In 2005, he designed a 230-foot morse orgulje, also known as the sea organ (风琴). The musical instrument is made up of a system of pipes and whistles that plays actual music as the waves of the Adriatic Sea push air through it.
At first glance, this invention might appear like an ordinary set of white stone steps, but its bottom stairs are covered in various holes. Water and wind enter through these openings, leading to chambers (室) within the giant instrument that connects to 35 organ pipes. As the waves flow, the air pushes through the inner channels, while the holes in the above steps sound out calming tunes.
This sea organ’s home is in Zadar, Croatia, which faced complete destruction during the Second World War. The city was eventually rebuilt, but it was filled with dull concrete structures that robbed the place of its natural charm. Seeking to restore it back to its former glory, local authorities brought in award-winning architect Nikola Basic, who, inspired by the hydraulis, an instrument built by the ancient Greeks that used water to push air through tuned pipes, designed and overlooked the construction of the sea organ.
Thanks to Basic’s artistic creation, life and joy have been brought back to the 3,000-year-old city. Now, it is a popular lunch place for tourists who want to feel the refreshing wind of the sea and hear the beautiful sounds coming from the sea organ.
8. What attitude does the author show in the first paragraph
A. He is quite sure of the importance of music.
B. He is against the conclusion of the studies.
C. He is in some doubt about the impact of music.
D. He is unconcerned about the results of the studies.
9. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The value of the invention. B. The structure of the instrument.
C. The principle of the invention. D. The appearance of the instrument.
10. What makes the sea organ unique and attractive
A. It was created by a famous architect.
B. It’s the combination of art and nature.
C. It’s located in a city with long history.
D. It was introduced from ancient Greek.
11. What can we infer about the city Zadar
A. It’s no longer popular after the destruction.
B. It has lost its natural resources after the war.
C. It is under constant construction at present.
D. It has come to life and become an attraction.
D
A sense of belonging to a group of co-workers is a better motivator for some employees than money, according to a study by University of Lowa researchers. “We find that some self-managed teams show increased performance, when their members work together well,” says Greg Stewart, the lead professor in the study.
At the beginning, Stewart’s group studied how managers of self-managed teams decided payment. They studied 587 workers in 45 self-managed teams in Lowa. The members were allowed to give suggestions on how much their teammates should be paid for their work. The managers collected their ideas and then made decisions. The members were asked about how much their team spirit attracted them, and managers were asked about the productivity of both individuals and teams.
“In high functioning teams the group members work actively with each other, and they encourage and support each other,” says Stephen Courtright, member of the research group. The reason is that peer pressure acts as an important social force. Members don’t want to disappoint their teammate, so team spirit is more effective even than money as a motivating tool. People have a social need to be accepted, to be regarded as a part of a group and want to perform well.
However, this works only when team members get along. When they don’t, then self-managed teams perform badly. When team members don’t care much for each other, Courtright says team spirit as a motivating factor won’t work. So money becomes the main motivating factor to improve productivity.
The carrot and stick method is that managers offer team members things in order to persuade them to work and punish them if they refuse. “Teams perform better when there is pressure from peers to perform well than when managers wave a carrot and stick,” Courtright says. “However, the carrot and stick method works well when team members just can’t get along.”
12. According to paragraph 2, what could members of the self-managed teams do
A. They took pride in their teams.
B. They put great efforts into their work.
C. They preferred team work to personal work.
D. They could advise managers on incomes of their teammates.
13. Why can some teams have high functions according to paragraph 3
A. Their team leaders are professional and strict.
B. Their team members get high money rewards.
C. Their members attach importance to team spirit.
D. Their team members have less work pressure.
14. What’s the key factor for team spirit to work well
A. Team members are highly educated.
B. Teammates care for their productivity.
C. Team leaders set clear goals for their work.
D. Team members have a good relationship with each other.
15. What does the study focus on
A How to deal with peer pressure at work.
B. How motivators work in jobs.
C. The advantages of self-managed teams.
D. The importance of building team spirit for managers.

Many graduation ceremonies look different. But for Melody Ormond, it looked different because of the classmate who graduated alongside her—her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class at Kennesaw State University 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College in Kentucky. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody Ormond and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven R. Angle, UTC Chancellor,” Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops. Even if it’s auditing (旁听) a few classes, there’s always that option. “Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree — a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nana has taught her that she has plenty of time.
4. What was special for Melody’s graduation ceremony

The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are attracting a large number of audience.
In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80,000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don’t tell me that competitive gaming is real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is “an activity involving physical effort and skill.” I don’t think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of petition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are “not good” at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.
8. What are “e-sports” according to the text
A. Sports events on television screens.
B. Easy sports games for kids.
C. Video computer game competitions.
D. The latest sports in the Olympics.
9 What might the author think of “e-sports”

B. To introduce a competition held in Beijing.
C. To explain the importance of playing sports.

11. Where is this text most likely from

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation (处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches (侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications－using apps like Face Time, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility (信任) is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed.
13. By taking the advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ______.
A. aim at victims precisely.
B. damage databases easily.
C. start campaigns rapidly.
D. spread information widely.
14. What does the text imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted.
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls.
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous.
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology.

On a Wednesday afternoon in the Eager Road of Oceola Township, Michigan, when a car showed no sign of movement at a stop sign, majority of the motorists honked wildly. Annoyed by the inconvenience the car was causing, the motorists simply drove around the car and left.
Fortunately, a 16-year-old motorist, Max Greenwood of Howell High had the heart to hop off his truck and find out what’s really going on. Because of his action, Max was able to inspire two other women to rush over the stopped car and help out the driver.
As it turned out, the driver of the stopped car was distressed. Initially, the three did not have a clue about the driver’s alarming situation. When the driver gathered enough strength to share what happened, Max and the two women quickly assisted him.
“He told the women he thought his blood sugar was low. He got progressively worse. One of the women gave him a Coke to help his sugar levels, but I could tell it wasn’t helping, so I called 911.” Max said.
Thanks to the quick thinking and actions of Max and the two women help arrived within a few minutes and the driver was transported to a hospital. According to the first medical responders, the man was suffering from a type of medical episode that must be aided immediately.
It is horrible to think what could have happened if Max did not concern himself with the reason why the car was not moving and simply minded his own business. Max may just be a 16-year-old student in the eyes of some people. But for the man he has saved, he surely is a modern hero with a golden heart. May his story inspire us to share a bit of our time to help the people we cross paths with! In this day and age, when a lot of kids don’t think about anyone but themselves, he stepped up and it made a difference.

Everyone loves a holiday! A little time off for some much-needed R & R (rest and relaxation) can be exactly the thing to refresh. That said, if you’re struggling to think of your next destination, then look no further. Don’t waste time debating, let your blood decide.
Everybody has a lineage (宗系). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken an ancestry DNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million.
This trend has been noticed by opportunistic travel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that both allows people to trace their heritage－by literally going back to their roots－and travel to the destinations where their ancestors originated from.
Airbnb, an online lodging marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing and analysis company, to offer recommendations that encourage travelers to walk in the footsteps of their forefathers. And they aren’t the only ones. The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin has its own advisor. Hellen Kelly offers consultations to help guests trace their Irish origin using official records. This allows them to ‘fill in the blanks of their Irish ancestry’, she told Good Morning America. The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers custom travels based on DNA tests. “These experiences are about exploring deeper into who we really are,” says Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveller. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.”
So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first Once you know how far your family has come, take the time to holiday back.
8. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text

A. Clubs providing luxury custom travels.
B. Hotels offering travelling consultations.
C. Companies offering DNA testing and analysis.
D. Travel operators providing services to trace the roots.
11. What does Rebecca Fielding think of the ancestry travel
A. Significant. B. Relaxing. C. Popular. D. Inspiring.

This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline.
“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.”
A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species.
But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.”
12. What should people do to protect insects according to the text
A. Stop building roads in parks and reserves.
B. Open up more natural habitats.
C. Avoid using pesticides for crops.
D. Keep them in a zoo.
13. What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects
A. They have set up laws.
B. They focus on specific species.
C. They conserve important species.
D. They protect the habitat of lesser known species.
14. What are the environmentalists doing now
A. Classifying the insects.
B. Identifying the species of insects.
C. Doing research on insects’ function.
D. Weighing insects collected in an area.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves!
B. Take Action! Insects Need Protection!
C. Save the Bees — They Need Your Help!
D. Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone
