For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person's garbage may be another person's treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family's. I'd want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I've visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50. 000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I've also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized（数字化） it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s—the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last. the family was found. They couldn't believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite emotional when seeing the items again—most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death. because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don't get lost.
24. Why did the author return old photos two years ago
A. To discover more stories behind them. B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To do what he thought was worth doing. D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape
A. By recalling the past. B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans. D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape
A. By recalling the past. B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans. D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
26. What's the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again
A. They feel at a loss. B. They're filled with strong emotions.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They clean them again.

Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it's driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France's TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70, 000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s. Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railuay Age, North America's oldest railroad industry publication.
“It's logical that the United States hasn't yet developed a nationwide high-speed net-work,” says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom's US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn't a hardship, but as highway congestion（堵塞） gets worse, we've reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours—preferably two hours. Where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air's share of the market from 100% to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally,” adds Scott Sherin.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To draw a comparison. B. To define a meaning.
C. To introduce a new topic. D. To give a possible explanation.
30. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Didn't protest. B. Didn't change.
C. Didn't give up. D. Didn't get involved in.
31. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains
A. It is developing high-speed rail. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It should be flexible.
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life's necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural （神经系统的） activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need.” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time（夏令时）. This drop was not seen in states that don't follow the one-hour forward. In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people.” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.
32. What will happen if people lack sleep according to the researchers
A. It makes them kind and motivated. B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase the possibility of helping others. D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
33. What can we know about the first study from the text
A. It was based on a database from advertisers.
B. It saw a 10% drop in donations in all states
C. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
D. It discovered the brain less active after sleep loss.
34. How is the text organized
A. Assumed-Real. B. Phenomenon-Analysis.
C. General-Particular. D. Cause-Effect.
35. What can be the best title of the text
A. Three Important Studies B. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish
C. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More

As Jaden was driving along the rough road, suddenly he found a car stopped there and the driver was waving to him. Jaden stepped out of his car and approached the driver, “What's up, sir ”
“I'm Paul, sorry to interrupt you. I'm driving a long way here to meet a client, but the battery of my smartphone runs out and my GPS doesn't work, so I can't figure out the route.

M: The time is seven thirty and here is radio JPD's weather and traffic information. Tray-elling will be difficult today because of heavy snow last night. Traffic is moving slowly on the M16 and M30 motorway and the police say the M43 will stay closed for more than an hour, until nine. In the city, an accident at the North Street means that it is closed to all cars, and drivers must use New Street or Lake Street. Because of this, some journeys by bus are taking longer. The No. 16 bus to the city center is really late. There are also problems for railway passengers because of thick snow on the tracks. All trains to Oxford are late and there will be no trains to London until lunchtime. Passengers should phone for the latest information about trains. This afternoon, it is going to be very windy. There is going to be much snow this evening. So wear some warm clothes if you have to go out! For more weather information, look at our website.

Dear James,
I'm delighted to tell you that I'll take part in a summer camp. However, there will be aninterview next week, which makes me worried. I am wondering if you could tell me some interview skills. As you know, my spoken English is not good. It makes the communication difficult with native speakers. I think the question is that I am always flooded with a sense of nervousness when talking. So I'm extremely afraid to fail now. I hope to pass the interview successfully and there is an opportunity to make more friends and know about the local culture.
I'm looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文：
Jaden changed his idea, thinking it was the most important to celebrate his son's birth-day. So he made a call to delay his business and drove back home, which he wanted to be a surprise. Jaden was probably a few miles away from his home when his car broke down. "Oh, too bad!" he sighed. He jumped out and tried to find if someone could give him a lift, but no luck. He had to run all the way home because he didn't want to miss his son's birthday.
After running for fifteen minutes, Jaden was out of breath when he reached home. “Adam. I'm sorry I am late,” he said very sadly as walking through the door. Adam stood there in astonishment, forgetting about what he was doing. Gradually, Adam came to realize what had happened, and he rushed to his father and hugged him tightly. With Adam's saying thanks to his father, thunderous applause rang through the hall. Just then Jaden understood what Adam needed most was his love and care. He decided to spend more time with Adam in the future.

For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person's garbage may be another person's treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family's. I'd want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I've visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50. 000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I've also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized（数字化） it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s—the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last. the family was found. They couldn't believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite emotional when seeing the items again—most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death. because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don't get lost.
24. Why did the author return old photos two years ago
A. To discover more stories behind them. B. To exchange them for more valuable items.
C. To do what he thought was worth doing. D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape
A. By recalling the past. B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans. D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the video tape
A. By recalling the past. B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. With the help of the author and his fans. D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
26. What's the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again
A. They feel at a loss. B. They're filled with strong emotions.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They clean them again.
27. What is a rule observed by the author
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish B. Giving up social media as much as possible.

Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it's driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France's TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42, 000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70, 000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s. Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railuay Age, North America's oldest railroad industry publication.
“It's logical that the United States hasn't yet developed a nationwide high-speed net-work,” says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom's US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn't a hardship, but as highway congestion（堵塞） gets worse, we've reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours—preferably two hours. Where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air's share of the market from 100% to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally,” adds Scott Sherin.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To draw a comparison. B. To define a meaning.
C. To introduce a new topic. D. To give a possible explanation.
30. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Didn't protest. B. Didn't change.
C. Didn't give up. D. Didn't get involved in.
31. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains
A. It is developing high-speed rail. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It should be flexible.
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life's necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural （神经系统的） activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need.” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time（夏令时）. This drop was not seen in states that don't follow the one-hour forward. In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people.” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.
32. What will happen if people lack sleep according to the researchers
A. It makes them kind and motivated. B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase the possibility of helping others. D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
33. What can we know about the first study from the text
A. It was based on a database from advertisers.
B. It saw a 10% drop in donations in all states
C. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
D. It discovered the brain less active after sleep loss.
34. How is the text organized
A. Assumed-Real. B. Phenomenon-Analysis.
C. General-Particular. D. Cause-Effect.
35. What can be the best title of the text
A. Three Important Studies B. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish
C. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More

“Thanks, Dad. Are you coming home later for the party ”
“Um, well, something's come up, darling, I might not be able to make it, but I'll have Rose get you the best cake. Just tell her what you need, OK Sorry, I really want to be there, but you know how busy my work is right now. . I'm really busy.”
The call went silent. “Hey, Adam. You there I'll try to make time, OK Hello . . . ”
Jaden removed the phone from his ear and realized the call was disconnected. Adam had hung up.
Jaden let out a sigh. “I'm sorry, this is something I'm doing for you.”
Jaden owned a million-dollar farm business, and he was planning on expanding it. For that very reason, he was several miles away from his son, traveling to a village.
He pulled the car near the roadside and dialed his son immediately. But clearly, the call didn't go well. Like several other times, Adam was disappointed that Jaden wasn't there for him.
When Adam was a child, Jaden could easily ask him for forgiveness by getting him toys, chocolates and anything the boy loved.
But as an 11-year-old boy, Adam had started comprehending things. He was becoming curious and knew his dad was putting work before him. That hurt the youngster in many ways, and since Jaden's wife passed away and he wasn't always there for Adam, the boy was being looked after by his aunt, Rose.
As Jaden was driving along the rough road, suddenly he found a car stopped there and the driver was waving to him. Jaden stepped out of his car and approached the driver, “What's up, sir ”
“I'm Paul, sorry to interrupt you. I'm driving a long way here to meet a client, but the battery of my smartphone runs out and my GPS doesn't work, so I can't figure out the route. I regret not bringing my driver for his wife was ill and I think he needs more time to accompany his wife,” the man said anxiously. After guiding Paul to his client, Jaden was lost in thought.

M: The time is seven thirty and here is radio JPD's weather and traffic information. Tray-elling will be difficult today because of heavy snow last night. Traffic is moving slowly on the M16 and M30 motorway and the police say the M43 will stay closed for more than an hour, until nine. In the city, an accident at the North Street means that it is closed to all cars, and drivers must use New Street or Lake Street. Because of this, some journeys by bus are taking longer. The No. 16 bus to the city center is really late. There are also problems for railway passengers because of thick snow on the tracks. All trains to Oxford are late and there will be no trains to London until lunchtime. Passengers should phone for the latest information about trains. This afternoon, it is going to be very windy. There is going to be much snow this evening. So wear some warm clothes if you have to go out! For more weather information, look at our website.

参考范文：
Dear James,
I'm delighted to tell you that I'll take part in a summer camp. However, there will be aninterview next week, which makes me worried. I am wondering if you could tell me some interview skills. As you know, my spoken English is not good. It makes the communication difficult with native speakers. I think the question is that I am always flooded with a sense of nervousness when talking. So I'm extremely afraid to fail now. I hope to pass the interview successfully and there is an opportunity to make more friends and know about the local culture.
I'm looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
Jaden changed his idea, thinking it was the most important to celebrate his son's birth-day. So he made a call to delay his business and drove back home, which he wanted to be a surprise. Jaden was probably a few miles away from his home when his car broke down. "Oh, too bad!" he sighed. He jumped out and tried to find if someone could give him a lift, but no luck. He had to run all the way home because he didn't want to miss his son's birthday.
After running for fifteen minutes, Jaden was out of breath when he reached home. “Adam. I'm sorry I am late,” he said very sadly as walking through the door. Adam stood there in astonishment, forgetting about what he was doing. Gradually, Adam came to realize what had happened, and he rushed to his father and hugged him tightly. With Adam's saying thanks to his father, thunderous applause rang through the hall. Just then Jaden understood what Adam needed most was his love and care. He decided to spend more time with Adam in the future.
