From McDonald’s to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget (预算). It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase (购买). For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.
One day I realized that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! I decided to give myself a tight budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the whole week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it would be mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there would be no more fast food that week.
The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small one. It was still satisfying but not nearly as expensive. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. I never really felt unhappy because it was a wise choice to spend or save with each purchase.
The envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.
Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but watched my weight. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but allowed to make positive choices to improve my life.

Every one of us may have been hurt by others—either by their words or actions. The best way to deal with the problem is to “forgive and forget”.
“It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental health,” Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, UK, told the Huffington Post.
Recently, Noreen and her research team have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle—forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.
In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Imagining being the victims (受害者), volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive. Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test. In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they had read about and then were asked to recall certain ones.
The results showed that people were less likely to remember the details of the unpleasant experiences if they had found forgiveness in their hearts. In contrast, if they hadn’t forgiven the mistake, they could always remember what had happened.
However, forgiving someone who has hurt you is always easier said than done. So Noreen hopes that one day in the near future research will give rise to powerful therapeutic (有疗效的) tools that will enable people to “forgive and forget” more effectively.
8. According to the passage, Saima Noreen is ________.
A. a reporter of Huffington B. a scientist from UK
C. a student at a university D. a volunteer in the test
9. What have Noreen and her team found recently
A. Forgiving helps us to forget unhappy memories.
B. They have found no reason to hurt other people.
C. A memory test is necessary to help people forgive.
D. An unpleasant experience can be easily forgotten.
10. The right order of the following steps of the study should be ________.
a. Take a memory test. b. Imagine being a victim.
c. Decide whether to forgive or not. d. Read descriptions of 40 different situations.
A. d→b→a→c B. a→b→d→c C. a→d→b→c D. d→b→c→a
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. It’s impossible to forgive someone.
B. Noreen has finished her research report.
C. There may be some therapeutic tools in the future.
D The therapeutic tools have been invented by the scientists.
D
In the digital age, we are becoming accustomed to technological innovations, and the fact that they can have a deep impact on our lives.
The number of the smartphone adult users has reached 85 percent in the UK population. Meanwhile streaming and 5G tech are changing the way we watch movies, TV shows and sports events. But Artificial Intelligence(AI) is probably the biggest game-changer of them all. The biggest impacts have nothing to do with robots or even digital assistants like Google Home. Here are two real-world applications of AI that are already changing our world for the better
One is better medical diagnose. If you had some illness, would you want to be diagnosed by a doctor or a machine You’d probably say the former, but in reality, the question is not that simple. Today, human expertise and AI work side by side to make faster, better diagnoses. Think of it this way—a doctor can spend an hour reading six or seven cases while AI can do six or seven thousand in seconds and then present the doctor with a range of possible medical conditions along with their related probabilities.
The other is reducing fraud( 欺 诈 ) . Fraud against big businesses seems nothing to do with us. In fact, it often ends up affecting us all, especially when insurance companies, for example, are forced to increase the premium( 保 费 ) to cover losses. AI is being used more and more in insurtech, both to speed up the claim( 索 赔 ) process and to mark possibly fraudulent claims more reliably. It does this by analysing big data trends. Faster processing and reduced fraud are good news for everyone, and that can save money for us.
12. What has affected the way of our lives most
A. Reading books. B. Digital assistants.
C. Smart robots. D. Artificial Intelligence.
13. What does the underlined word “expertise” mean in paragraph 3
A. Professional knowledge B. Interesting hobbies
C. Medical conditions D. Scientific research
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. AI can benefit us a lot.
B. AI can help us earn money.
C. AI makes the claim process slow.
D. AI makes us increase the premium.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How AI Is Reducing Fraud in Our Live.
B. How AI Is Touching All Our Lives for the Better.
C. What Advantages AI Is Bringing to Medical Diagnose.
D. In What Aspects AI Is Changing the Way of Entertainment.

A pleasant surprise
For a long time, I had been looking for a piano of my own to practise on. There was a piano shop on the street along which I walked every day to school. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano standing in the comer of the shop window. How I had been dreaming, day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, my father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to save money, even on cold winter days, my father would walk the seven miles every day to get to work. No he could never afford to buy me an expensive piano. Though he knew I wanted to play that piano so much buying it was an extravagance (奢侈品) well beyond our family’s income.
One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, to my surprise and disappointment, the piano had gone. I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to sec that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. After about an hour. I returned home. I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room.
Paragraph 1:
I could not believe my eyes.

Paragraph 2:
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly.

The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic, I would purchase a small one. It was still satisfying but not nearly as expensive. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. I never really felt unhappy because it was a wise choice to spend or save with each purchase.
The envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.
Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but watched my weight. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but allowed to make positive choices to improve my life.

Every one of us may have been hurt by others—either by their words or actions. The best way to deal with the problem is to “forgive and forget”.
“It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental health,” Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, UK, told the Huffington Post.
Recently, Noreen and her research team have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle—forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.
In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Imagining being the victims (受害者), volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive. Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test. In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they had read about and then were asked to recall certain ones.
The results showed that people were less likely to remember the details of the unpleasant experiences if they had found forgiveness in their hearts. In contrast, if they hadn’t forgiven the mistake, they could always remember what had happened.
However, forgiving someone who has hurt you is always easier said than done. So Noreen hopes that one day in the near future research will give rise to powerful therapeutic (有疗效的) tools that will enable people to “forgive and forget” more effectively.
8. According to the passage, Saima Noreen is ________.
A. a reporter of Huffington B. a scientist from UK
C. a student at a university D. a volunteer in the test
9. What have Noreen and her team found recently
A. Forgiving helps us to forget unhappy memories.
B. They have found no reason to hurt other people.
C. A memory test is necessary to help people forgive.
D. An unpleasant experience can be easily forgotten.
10. The right order of the following steps of the study should be ________.
a. Take a memory test. b. Imagine being a victim.
c. Decide whether to forgive or not. d. Read descriptions of 40 different situations.
A. d→b→a→c B. a→b→d→c C. a→d→b→c D. d→b→c→a
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. It’s impossible to forgive someone.
B. Noreen has finished her research report.
C. There may be some therapeutic tools in the future.
D. The therapeutic tools have been invented by the scientists.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,讲述的是在面对他人伤害时,处理这个问题的最好方式就是“宽恕和忘记”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental health,” Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, UK, told the Huffington Post. (“众所周知,学会原谅他人可以对一个人的身心健康产生积极的好处,”英国圣安德鲁斯大学的科学家Saima Noreen告诉赫芬顿邮报)”可知,Saima Noreen后面的内容为其同位语,所以Saima Noreen应是科学家。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Recently, Noreen and her research team have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle—forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.(最近,Noreen和她的研究团队发现了另一个你应该坚持这个原则的理由——根据他们的新研究,原谅伤害过你的人会让你更容易忘记不快乐的记忆)”可知,研究发现,宽恕伤害过你的人使你更容易忘记不快乐记忆,所以,宽恕帮助我们忘记不快乐的记忆。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Imagining being the victims (受害者), volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive. Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test.(在这项研究中,研究人员要求志愿者阅读40种不同情况的描述,这些情况包含偷窃,撒谎和作弊等不良行为。想象自己是受害者,志愿者必须决定他们是否能够原谅。两周后,志愿者参加了记忆测试)”可知,这个实验是先阅读40种不同的含有不良行为的情况,然后再将自己想象为受害者,接着确定是否原谅他们,两周后再参加记忆测试,该研究过程与D项顺序吻合。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So Noreen hopes that one day in the near future research will give rise to powerful therapeutic (有疗效的) tools that will enable people to “forgive and forget” more effectively.(因此,诺琳希望在不久的将来的某一天,研究将产生强大的治疗工具,使人们能够更有效地“原谅和忘记”)”可知,Noreen希望在将来能有一种强大的治疗工具可以帮助人们更高效地“宽恕和忘记”,由此可推断,在未来很可能会出现治疗工具。故选D项。

In the digital age, we are becoming accustomed to technological innovations, and the fact that they can have a deep impact on our lives.
The number of the smartphone adult users has reached 85 percent in the UK population. Meanwhile streaming and 5G tech are changing the way we watch movies, TV shows and sports events. But Artificial Intelligence(AI) is probably the biggest game-changer of them all. The biggest impacts have nothing to do with robots or even digital assistants like Google Home. Here are two real-world applications of AI that are already changing our world for the better
One is better medical diagnose. If you had some illness, would you want to be diagnosed by a doctor or a machine You’d probably say the former, but in reality, the question is not that simple. Today, human expertise and AI work side by side to make faster, better diagnoses. Think of it this way—a doctor can spend an hour reading six or seven cases while AI can do six or seven thousand in seconds and then present the doctor with a range of possible medical conditions along with their related probabilities.
The other is reducing fraud( 欺 诈 ) . Fraud against big businesses seems nothing to do with us. In fact, it often ends up affecting us all, especially when insurance companies, for example, are forced to increase the premium( 保 费 ) to cover losses. AI is being used more and more in insurtech, both to speed up the claim( 索 赔 ) process and to mark possibly fraudulent claims more reliably. It does this by analysing big data trends. Faster processing and reduced fraud are good news for everyone, and that can save money for us.
12. What has affected the way of our lives most
A. Reading books. B. Digital assistants.
C. Smart robots. D. Artificial Intelligence.
13. What does the underlined word “expertise” mean in paragraph 3
A. Professional knowledge B. Interesting hobbies
C. Medical conditions D. Scientific research
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. AI can benefit us a lot.
B. AI can help us earn money.
C. AI makes the claim process slow.
D. AI makes us increase the premium.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How AI Is Reducing Fraud in Our Live.
B. How AI Is Touching All Our Lives for the Better.
C. What Advantages AI Is Bringing to Medical Diagnose.
D. In What Aspects AI Is Changing the Way of Entertainment.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述人工智能在现实生活中,让我们的世界变得更美好的两种应用方式。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the digital age, we are becoming accustomed to technological innovations, and the fact that they can have a deep impact on our lives.”(在数字时代,我们越来越习惯于技术创新,以及它们对我们生活产生深远影响的事实。)可知,数字时代的技术创新对我们生活方式会产生深远的影响。第二段中“The number of the smartphone adult users has reached 85 percent in the UK population Meanwhile streaming and 5G tech are changing the way we watch movies, TV shows and sports events. But Artificial Intelligence(AI) is probably the biggest game-changer of them all. ”(智能手机成年用户的数量已达到英国人口的85%,与此同时,流媒体和5G技术正在改变我们观看电影、电视节目和体育赛事的方式。但人工智能(AI)可能是其中最大的游戏规则改变者。)可知,在众多的技术创新中,人工智能对我们的影响最大。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后一句“Think of it this way—a doctor can spend an hour reading six or seven cases while AI can do six or seven thousand in seconds and then present the doctor with a range of possible medical conditions along with their related probabilities.”(这样想吧——医生可以花一个小时阅读六七个病例,而人工智能可以在几秒钟内阅读六七千个病例,然后向医生提供一系列可能的医疗状况及其相关概率。)可知,在医疗领域,在人工智能的辅助下,医生可以得出一系列可能的医疗状况及其相关(疾病的)概率。此处医生为拥有医疗专业知识的人,因此可推知,划线词所在句的含义为“人工智能和医生类似的专业(知识)人士并肩工作,可以做出更快、更好的诊断。”,因此划线词此处指“人类的专业知识”,故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI is being used more and more in insurtech, both to speed up the claim( 索 赔 ) process and to mark possibly fraudulent claims more reliably. It does this by analysing big data trends. Faster processing and reduced fraud are good news for everyone, and that can save money for us.”(人工智能在保险科技领域的应用越来越多,既可以加快理赔流程,也可以更可靠地标记可能存在的欺诈性理赔。它通过分析大数据趋势来做到这一点。更快的处理和减少欺诈对每个人来说都是好消息,这可以为我们节省资金。)说明了人工智能带给保险行业的好处:不仅可以加快理赔流程,也可以更可靠地标记可能存在的欺诈性理赔。实现这样的好处就是凭借人工智能对大数据的分析。所以本段主要讲述人工智能对我们很有益。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合文章第一段““In the digital age, we are becoming accustomed to technological innovations, and the fact that they can have a deep impact on our lives.”(在数字时代,我们越来越习惯于技术创新,以及它们对我们生活产生深远影响的事实。)可知,数字时代的技术创新对我们生活方式会产生深远的影响。第二段最后一句“Here are two real-world applications of AI that are already changing our world for the better”(以下是人工智能在现实世界中的两个应用,它们已经让我们的世界变得更美好。)可知,文章主要讲述人工智能在现实生活中,让我们的世界变得更美好的两种应用方式。因此文章的标题可以为“人工智能是如何让我们的世界变得更好。”选项B可以简要的概括文章主题,故选B。

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I am glad to hear that our school is going to hold training courses, including Cooking, First aid and Painting.
I want to attend a course about giving first aid because it is important for us to learn some knowledge about first aid in our daily life. If a person gets injured, he needs medical care before a doctor can be found. At that time, one second really counts. After graduation, I plan to devote my life to medical research. Hopefully, the course will help me a lot to deal with some common injuries.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into account/consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

A pleasant surprise
For a long time, I had been looking for a piano of my own to practise on. There was a piano shop on the street along which I walked every day to school. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano standing in the comer of the shop window. How I had been dreaming, day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, my father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to save money, even on cold winter days, my father would walk the seven miles every day to get to work. No he could never afford to buy me an expensive piano. Though he knew I wanted to play that piano so much buying it was an extravagance (奢侈品) well beyond our family’s income.
One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, to my surprise and disappointment, the piano had gone. I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to sec that piano any more.
Disappointed helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. After about an hour. I returned home. I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room.
Paragraph 1:
I could not believe my eyes.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I could not believe my eyes . The beautiful piano I had been longing for was standing there in front of me. Excitement and happiness filled my heart. I couldn’t help crying and tears streamed down my face. My mother approached me, saying they knew the piano was the very thing I had dreamed about and my father had tried everything possible to realize my dream. I was on the point of saying something when the door opened.
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly. “Thank you, Dad!” I said. I could see a big smile on his wrinkled face. Regardless of the bad weather, my father had gone to work every day to make money. I cold not imagine how much effort he had made! My father kissed me on the forehead, whispering that he had at last earned enough to buy the piano. Only then did I realize that no gift could measure up to a father’s love.
