Our Favourite Tech Gifts of 2019
When it comes time for the holiday shopping season, we’re extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family. Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019.
Lumos Matrix helmet
I recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet(头盔)(﹩229)with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure careless drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This does help.
-Matt Mcfarland, Writer
Goodreads app
Although this isn’t a gift, the free Goodreads app is a game changer. At the beginning of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month. I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and use it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending. I read 35 books this year! (That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks.
-Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter
Ember coffee cup
I drink my coffee slowly, so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup (﹩99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without reheating. I can also set the temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier.
-Millie Dent, Intern
1. What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet
A. Helping drivers concentrate. B. Managing the bad weather.

2. What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a game changer”
A. It changes some readers’ reading rules.
B. It inspires readers to read more through communication.

A. Simple. B. Expensive. C. Eco-friendly. D. Convenient
B
For many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size. I imagined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many people with weight problems also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally bring us happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Different cultures have different standards of beauty. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body Why not look inside Many of us struggle hard to change our body, but in vain (徒劳的). We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and care for ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.
4. The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.
A body size B. different beauty standards
C. culture difference D. attitudes towards life
5. What does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The whole world. B. All the problems.
C. All the dreams. D. All the truth.
6. What can be inferred about the author
A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
C. The author succeeded in losing weight.
D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
7. Which of the following statements is true
A. One’s happiness is determined by a person’s weight.
B. Not all countries take being thin as the standard of beauty.
C. It’s entirely wrong to care about whether a person is fat or not.
D. Once a person loses weight, he/she won’t gain back the weight easily.
C
All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy and to live longer. Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins.
Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many people love to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history.

People from different countries often become good friends after a game together. Sports help them to understand each other. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.

It was a cold and snowy morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my first day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was 7:00 in the morning and there weren't many people on the road. A girl on a bike passed me quickly. She was riding on ice when suddenly she fell off her bike a few steps in front of me. She was trying hard to get up but fell once more. Without thinking, I went over and helped her stand up. She said, "Thank you," with a smile and then rode away. The words "Thank you" warmed me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school.
Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down beside a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn't dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English. They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn't have a copy. As I was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me. “Let's share,” the girl next to me said." And hi, I'm Carrie." I looked up. It was the girl I helped that morning. What a surprise!
From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My 12th birthday came at last. What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I turned twelve and that I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box wrapped up (包装) with nice pink paper with flowers on it. When I removed the paper and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had got a cell phone! I ran to give my mom and dad the biggest hug ever, and said, “Thank you! I love you!”
“You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy. But we give you this not only because you have turned twelve but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.”
I said confidently that I would. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts (联系人) on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class any more. I didn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. I texted my friends, surfed the Internet for stories or played games.
Luckily, I didn’t get caught using it. I had formed a habit of secretly enjoying my phone in class. But I was pretty sure that the teachers did notice that I stopped paying attention to them, because a week later we took a test and I failed. What’s worse, my parents had to sign the test.

I read 35 books this year! (我在Goodreads上设定了12本书目标，用它来记录我的进度，列一个我感兴趣的书单，看看朋友和其他用户在该应用上推荐了什么书。我今年读了35本书！)”可知，作者将这款APP称作“一个游戏改变者”，因为它激励读者通过与他人互动的方式阅读更多的书目。故选B。

For many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size. I imagined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many people with weight problems also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally bring us happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.

4. The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.
A. body size B. different beauty standards

5. What does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 refer to

B. Not all countries take being thin as the standard of beauty.

D. Once a person loses weight, he/she won’t gain back the weight easily.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者一直认为自己生活中遇到的各种问题都是自己的体型造成的，直到后来，作者发现，需要改变的不是自己的体型而是对生活的态度。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段句子“We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and care for ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.(我们必须找到一种让我们内心舒服的方式去生活，去结交朋友，关心自己。当我们改变对自己的态度时，整个世界都会改变)”可知，作者认为我们不用在意我们的体型，我们要改变对生活的态度。由此推知，本文重点强调要改变生活的态度。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。由划线词后面的句子“Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for.(也许我们的错误是认为瘦就等于被爱、被特别、被关心) ”和划线词所在句子中的内容“mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix(错误地认为改变我们的身体可以解决)”可知，人们错误的认为，改变体型就能解决当下生活中遇到的所有问题。所以，划线词everything指的是“所有问题”。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size. I imagined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.(多年来，我坚信我的痛苦是因为我的体型。我想象着，当体重消失时，会伴随着旧伤、旧伤和旧拒绝)”可推知，作者一直被自己的体型困扰。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中句子“Different cultures have different standards of beauty. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds.(不同的文化对美有不同的标准。在萨摩亚，女人除非体重超过200磅，否则不被认为是有吸引力的)”可知，并非所有国家都以瘦为美。故选B项。
【点睛】阅读理解题的解题方法，首先，宏观浏览，掌握大意。不要困扰在个别词汇的翻译上，偶有生词，走为上计。其次，读懂题干，带着问题再去微观细读。最后，分析句子，慎思明辨。阅读理解题之细节理解解题要注意：1.排除干扰项，突出主题。2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关信息，预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。3.将注意力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速浏览，一目十行。发现细节，十目一行，放慢速度，仔细核对比较，直到找到正确答案。如本文第4题，找出文中提到的“不同的文化对美有不同的标准”，结合所给出的例子，很容易判断正确答案。
C

根据前文“Think about it, with what little vacation time we have these days, don’t you want your vacation to be the kind that you remember forever and talk about for years to come (想想看，我们这些天有多么少的假期，难道你不想让你的假期成为你永远记得的那种，并在未来的几年里谈论它吗？)”及空后一句“这里有一些处理所有信息的方法，以帮助你计划你的假期”可知，空处承上启下，应是讲述要有一个成功的假期需要计划，E项“但是，如果没有正确的计划，那可能不会发生！”符合语境，E项中的“that”指代空前一句内容，故选E项。
【17题详解】
空处是段落小标题，根据本段中“Road trip games are always a great idea(公路旅行游戏总是一个好主意)”及“Creating your own soundtrack (原声带) is another key to a fun road trip.(创造你自己的原声带是另一个愉快的公路旅行的关键)”可知，本段主要讲述公路旅行中要有游戏和歌曲，A项“准备一些游戏和歌曲”符合语境，故选A项。

【19题详解】
根据段落小标题“Save Money”可知，本段是讲述旅行费用问题，会提到费用的高低，所以F项：有些人可能会说，“公路旅行本身不便宜吗？”符合文意，空后“Not necessarily.(不一定)”是对F项的回答，表示“公路旅行本身不一定是便宜的”，与下文“小贴士可以帮你省钱，让你的假期更实惠”衔接自然，故选F项。
【20题详解】
空前一句提到“自从孩童时期就去世界各地旅行，我已经学会了从旅行中得到最大的好处”，所以空处应是接着讲述旅行的好处，结合空后“它也是一种内心的旅行”可知，C项“旅行不仅仅是去一个地方”符合文意，故选C项。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My 12th birthday came at last. What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I turned twelve and that I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box wrapped up (包装) with nice pink paper with flowers on it. When I removed the paper and opened the box, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had got a cell phone! I ran to give my mom and dad the biggest hug ever, and said, “Thank you! I love you!”
“You’re welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy. But we give you this not only because you have turned twelve but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.”
I said confidently that I would. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts (联系人) on the first day. It felt like I didn’t even exist in that class any more. I didn’t pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. I texted my friends, surfed the Internet for stories or played games.
Luckily, I didn’t get caught using it. I had formed a habit of secretly enjoying my phone in class. But I was pretty sure that the teachers did notice that I stopped paying attention to them, because a week later we took a test and I failed. What’s worse, my parents had to sign the test.
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I had to show my parents the test paper when I got home.

Paragraph 2:
My mom added, “Let us help you keep your cell phone until you’re old enough.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I had to show my parents the test paper when I got home. When seeing my test result, they couldn’t believe it. They were angry but most of all, they were disappointed. They asked me why I failed the test. I didn’t dare to tell a lie, and told them the truth. When figuring out the cause, my dad said, “ The phone helps you communicate with us and your friends, but I think you’re too young to properly use it.”
Paragraph 2:
My mom added, “Let us help you keep your cell phone until you’re old enough” Although I was unwilling to do it, I still took my phone out of my pocket and handed it to my parents. During the first days without the cell phone, I felt bad. But eventually I got used to it and my life, especially my school life, became normal again. In class, I’d listen carefully as before. After school, I’d be devoted to finishing my homework. Gradually, my school performance improved and I obtained good grades again.
