(2019·广东七校联考)
“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage(大出血)in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate, I enrolled in(注册)a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired(损伤的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” It’s amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,”my instructor added.
For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.

Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.
Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde-haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings(穿孔)are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If beautiful you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.
Other countries like DPRK and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty, In an interview, a woman who has lived in both DPRK and South Korea claims that beauty in DPRK is based more on your ability to be a good women and wife. She says that women in DPRK are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.
25. What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Inconsistent. B. Reasonable. C. Unusual. D. Similar.
26. The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that ________ in their eyes.

B. looking fierce is beautiful
C. strong people cut their skin

B. Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.
C. Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.
D. Fashion magazines easily influence young people.
C
When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers
I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future print. After all, in some people’s minds I wouldn’t be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online Journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.
Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online pare this to the newspapers circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.
In her successful blog post titled The Job I Have Spent the Last Year Learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, “Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers’ heads.” She goes on to state that people don’t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll (滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get news from many different sources.
If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.
Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.
Is the future of print grim Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well Definitely not.
28. According to Paragraph 2, the author feels ________.
A. confident about the future of his career
B. worried about the future of print
C. tired of being a newspaper journalist
D. embarrassed about online writing
29. What does the underlined word “grim” in the last paragraph probably mean

30. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To explore the future of journalism.
B. To analyze the cause of print decline.
C. To explain the bright future of a journalist.
D. To introduce a successful blog post about print.

We all have to make decisions all the time. and we have an abundance of choices,ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions, 31 If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.
Don’t expect to have it all.
32 You can’t order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if” situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.
33
It’s often good to think through your decisions. But don’t overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition(直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.
Don’t delay making decisions.
Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. 34 Or it’s likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don’t wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.
Don’t be hard on yourself.
You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn’t expect a bug that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days. 35 But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.
A. Don’t spend too much time thinking.
B. It is an important source of information.
C. You may regret making such a stupid decision.
D. Don’t count on emotion to make decisions.
E. Maybe you wish to consult with your advisor.
F. Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities.
G. That means the skill of good decision-making counts a lot.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
(2019·浙江温州一模)
Look inside any family home in the evening, and you might see a typical enough scene: Mom and Dad, each on their own laptop or tablet, streaming movies, catching up on work or maybe answering emails on their smartphones. Meanwhile, one child is chatting online with school friend while texting another. The other is playing a video game with a friend on the other side of the city at the same time. Each member of the family is totally absorbed in his or her own piece of technology.
According to some experts, the effect of technology on human relationships is worrying as technology becomes a substitute for face-to-face human relationships. It appears to be the case that many people would much rather spend time with their electronic gadgets(电子产品)than with one another. Young people say it is difficult to get their parents’ attention and they have to compete with smartphones, tablets and other technology.
However, a report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project offers a more helpful and encouraging view, suggesting that far from replacing human contact, technology can actually better family relationships. Just over half of the 2, 253 people surveyed agreed that technology had enabled them to increase their contact with distant family members and 47 percent said it had improved the communication with the people they lived with. Moreover, even the closest members of families need time away from each other at some point to seek their own interests. Family members who might otherwise have sat in separate rooms can now be in the same one while still occupying a different mental space.
Look back at our typical family scene above. Is it any different from four people reading their own books Or is it driving families apart Where technology will lead us remains to be seen. Yet there is no need to worry. As a matter of fact how it affects our family relationships depends on our attitude toward technology.
