I arrived at the address and sounded the horn(喇叭). After waiting a few minutes I sounded the horn again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift (换班), I thought about just driving away, but instead I knocked on the door. “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause,a small woman in her .90’s stood before me. When we got in the cab,she gave me an address and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh,I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don’t have any family left. She continued in a soft voice, “The doctor says I don’t have very long.” I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
For the next two hours,we drove through the. city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds, a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
As the dawn came, we got to the hospice. Two nurses came out to the taxi as soon as we pulled up. The woman was seated in a wheelchair in no time.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”

For the growing number of Chinese heading west to work and study, there's plenty they find surprising. Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes. Li Feng, raised in northern China and now based in England, agrees. "The only thing Chinese people would be shocked by in Britain is how long it takes to do things," he says. "For instance, in China if you want to open a bank account, you don't wait, you just do it at the counter." Out-of-hours and weekend work is standard in China, but in Britain, the weekend is for family and friends.
Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy (等级制度) is less rigid than in China, where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important. As a result, staff in a Chinese company think very carefully about how to present their views and ideas. Employees in the West can share their opinions more freely. In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way. But in Europe you can just say what you want.
The newest Chinese arrivals have a very different view to previous generations, according to Sharon Jin, who moved to the US 20 years ago and is now an American citizen. "Almost 100% of the people of my generation who came to the United States want to get a green card," she says. "But today younger Chinese plan to work for 10 years here and then return to China to buy a house or look after their parents." While a record number of 523,700 students left China to study elsewhere in 2015, roughly 70%—80% of the students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education.
8．What do many Chinese find surprising while in Britain
A.That they drive faster than the drivers in Britain.
B.That they can open a bank account at any time.
C.That working extra hours in Britain is very common.
D.That working pace in Britain is less fast than at home.
9．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Jack Chen has been a lawyer in Belgium for 12 years.
B.Employees in the West show less respect for their boss.
C.Chinese employees are cautious when presenting ideas.
D.People in Europe express themselves in a modest way.
10．Why do most students return to China according to the Chinese Ministry of Education
A.It's hard for them to get a green card.
B.It's easy for them to buy a house at home.
C.They will have to look after their parents.
D.There are more job opportunities in China.
11．How does the writer organize the text
A.By interviewing students abroad.
B.By comparing the differences.
C.By discussing some facts.
D.By listing some figures.
Having a microchip implanted in a man’s brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.
Elon Musk—a US tech tycoon, founder of Space X—has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a display of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude. The chip, developed by Musk’s company Neuralink, is just as small as the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes(电极) attached to flexible threads(线), which can monitor about 1,000 neurons(神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then wirelessly transmits those signals to nearby computers, according to MSN. That enabled researchers to monitor Gertrude’s brain activity while she was walking around in the display.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology would solve a lot of brain injuries and is essential for AI symbiosis(共存关系), which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence. When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility difficulties. Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues.
Although such a device could repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig’s brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is extremely tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.
Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body. Right now, the hope of controlling the brain by controlling just a few neurons seems overly optimistic. “There are still so many technological challenges, especially the possible risks it may cause, to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes,” Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily.
12．What do we know about Elon Musk’s microchip？
A.It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
B.It is able to collect wireless signals.
C.It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
D.It has been implanted into a human’s brain,
13．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A.The operation of the chip in Gertrude’s brain.
B.The attachment of electrodes to flexible threads.
C.The development of neurons inside Gertrude’s brain.
D.The transmission of signals from a nearby computer
14．What is the major target of the microchip？
A.To monitor animals’ brain activity.
B.To help people with mobility problems.
C.To develop a cure for immune system problems.
D.To contribute to the research on AI technologies.
15．How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain？
A.Disapproving. B.Indifferent. C.Optimistic. D.Concerned.

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus Ridiculous! Don't believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me sad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go. "
"Go where, grandma " I asked. "Where" turned out to be Kerby's general store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. Take this money, 5, she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car. " Then she walked out of Kerby's.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments, I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Ms Pollock's grade-two class. Booby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for a break during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
"Is this a Christmas present for someone " The lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my 10 dollars down. "Yes."
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

②作者的手指在地图上面移动,联系句中的“to the opera hall”知,其移动的方向是从宾馆到歌剧院。
③not more than“不超过”。
④该空所在的句子的意思是“我迅速看了看表”,修饰动词look,故用副词形式。
⑤作者在去剧院的路上,所以手里“拿着一个华丽的黑色手提包”。此处描述的是伴随状况,且carry与I之间为主动关系,故用现在分词。
⑥根据语境可知演出即将开始。be about to do意思是“即将做,正要做”。
⑦此时演出并没有开始,魔术师在戴帽子的时候“我”到达后台,故填as或when。
⑧本文是叙述发生在过去的故事,故该动词用过去式。
⑨此处修饰smile,用surprised表示“吃惊的”。

I arrived at the address and sounded the horn(喇叭). After waiting a few minutes I sounded the horn again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift (换班), I thought about just driving away, but instead I knocked on the door. “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause,a small woman in her .90’s stood before me. When we got in the cab,she gave me an address and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh,I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don’t have any family left. She continued in a soft voice, “The doctor says I don’t have very long.” I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
For the next two hours,we drove through the. city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds, a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
As the dawn came, we got to the hospice. Two nurses came out to the taxi as soon as we pulled up. The woman was seated in a wheelchair in no time.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”

For the growing number of Chinese heading west to work and study, there's plenty they find surprising. Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes. Li Feng, raised in northern China and now based in England, agrees. "The only thing Chinese people would be shocked by in Britain is how long it takes to do things," he says. "For instance, in China if you want to open a bank account, you don't wait, you just do it at the counter." Out-of-hours and weekend work is standard in China, but in Britain, the weekend is for family and friends.
Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy (等级制度) is less rigid than in China, where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important. As a result, staff in a Chinese company think very carefully about how to present their views and ideas. Employees in the West can share their opinions more freely. In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way. But in Europe you can just say what you want.
The newest Chinese arrivals have a very different view to previous generations, according to Sharon Jin, who moved to the US 20 years ago and is now an American citizen. "Almost 100% of the people of my generation who came to the United States want to get a green card," she says. "But today younger Chinese plan to work for 10 years here and then return to China to buy a house or look after their parents." While a record number of 523,700 students left China to study elsewhere in 2015, roughly 70%—80% of the students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education.
8．What do many Chinese find surprising while in Britain
A.That they drive faster than the drivers in Britain.
B.That they can open a bank account at any time.
C.That working extra hours in Britain is very common.
D.That working pace in Britain is less fast than at home.
9．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Jack Chen has been a lawyer in Belgium for 12 years.
B.Employees in the West show less respect for their boss.
C.Chinese employees are cautious when presenting ideas.
D.People in Europe express themselves in a modest way.
10．Why do most students return to China according to the Chinese Ministry of Education
A.It's hard for them to get a green card.
B.It's easy for them to buy a house at home.
C.They will have to look after their parents.
D.There are more job opportunities in China.
11．How does the writer organize the text
A.By interviewing students abroad.
B.By comparing the differences.
C.By discussing some facts.
D.By listing some figures.
Having a microchip implanted in a man’s brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.
Elon Musk—a US tech tycoon, founder of Space X—has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave a display of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude. The chip, developed by Musk’s company Neuralink, is just as small as the size of a coin. But don’t let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes(电极) attached to flexible threads(线), which can monitor about 1,000 neurons(神经元). It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then wirelessly transmits those signals to nearby computers, according to MSN. That enabled researchers to monitor Gertrude’s brain activity while she was walking around in the display.
Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology would solve a lot of brain injuries and is essential for AI symbiosis(共存关系), which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence. When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility difficulties. Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues.
Although such a device could repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig’s brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is extremely tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.
Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body. Right now, the hope of controlling the brain by controlling just a few neurons seems overly optimistic. “There are still so many technological challenges, especially the possible risks it may cause, to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes,” Yuan Lanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily.
12．What do we know about Elon Musk’s microchip？
A.It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.
B.It is able to collect wireless signals.
C.It is tiny in size but powerful in function.
D.It has been implanted into a human’s brain,
13．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A.The operation of the chip in Gertrude’s brain.
B.The attachment of electrodes to flexible threads.
C.The development of neurons inside Gertrude’s brain.
D.The transmission of signals from a nearby computer
14．What is the major target of the microchip？
A.To monitor animals’ brain activity.
B.To help people with mobility problems.
C.To develop a cure for immune system problems.
D.To contribute to the research on AI technologies.
15．How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain？
A.Disapproving. B.Indifferent. C.Optimistic. D.Concerned.

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus Ridiculous! Don't believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me sad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go. "
"Go where, grandma " I asked. "Where" turned out to be Kerby's general store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. Take this money, 5, she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car. " Then she walked out of Kerby's.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments, I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Ms Pollock's grade-two class. Booby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for a break during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough, and he didn't have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
"Is this a Christmas present for someone " The lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my 10 dollars down. "Yes."
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

34．答案：
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and Grandma and I hid in the car.
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open in the bush and finally it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done.
