Iggy Azalea doesn’t look like a rapper(说唱歌手). On May 17, she attended the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, US, with pink hair and a blue coat. She looked like a model, but won big as a rapper. The 26-year-old Australian beat big names like Nicki Minaj and Drake to win the award for Top Rap Artist.
It’s a great achievement in many people’s eyes, but Azalea knew what she wanted from the beginning. At 15 she dropped out of high school because she was only interested in the art class. She worked as a house cleaner to save money for her dream the following year. Before her 16th birthday, Azalea left her home, a tiny town in Australia, for the US, making up her mind to become a rapper. Moving from Miami to Houston to Atlanta, she started rapping in the southern-style accent of her surroundings and her single Ignorant Art came out in 2011. From then on, she has never looked back.
However, her style has caused lots of discussions. She might be one of the most polarizing artists. She raps with a southern American accent, even though she speaks with an Australian one. Many people comment that she overuses black culture in her music.
Her supporters are against it. American female rapper MC Lyte defended Azalea in an interview, saying she should not be judged because of where she’s from. “Hip hop is universal, no color lines,” MC Lyte said. Azalea herself is proud of her music. “I really want to be focused on what I’m doing,” she said in an interview. “That’s really dangerous when you’re trying to figure out ways to entertain people and make them happy. I don’t want to be a part of that.”
4.After leaving for America, Azalea ________.
A.went to an art school for her dream B.worked as a cleaner in the first year
C.never returned to her hometown in Australia D.developed her southern-style accent rapping
5.Why is Azalea’s music style questioned
A.Because she sings with an Australian accent.
B.Because she looks like a model herself.
C.Because people think her music is of too much black culture.
D.Because people don’t accept singers from southern America.
6.What does Azalea mean by saying “I don’t want to be apart of that.”
A.She’s unwilling to become popular. B.Her music is not for entertainment.
C.She refuses to learn from other rappers. D.Her music is not affected by others’ taste.
7.Which of the following can best describe Iggy Azalea
A.Kind and easy-going. B.Determined and confident.
C.Honest and serious. D.Talented and friendly.

You don’t need to get in a time-travelling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives,such as the way we shop.Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.
Try it on,virtually (虚拟的).Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you — use the eBay Fashion iPhone app (程序) to try a pair of eyewear you’re checking out on a picture of your face.But what if you want to buy something bigger Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s motion tracking camera,you can cover clothes on your screen body.You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect,custom fit.Everyone’s body is shaped differently.To get a perfect fit,you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.But by using 3D scanning technology,all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using high-tech to get the most accurate measurements,so they can make special clothes just for you.

In the United States,several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.While it’s great not having to line up at a checkout counter,we wouldn’t mind it if the store used Toshiba’s new Object Recognition Scanner.The machine identifies a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color,even if it has no bar code.

If you have ever been disappointed because you don’t have a good gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of the plants inside your house.
The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted (盆栽的) plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.
The robot was developed by the Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding,” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”
According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency towards this I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.”
The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.
12.What can we learn about the Hexa Plant
A.It helps people plant some flowers.

C.It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight.

C.The difference between plants and humans.
D.The cause of making the indoor plants’ helper.
14.What does Sun Tianqi try to do using this technology
A.To develop gardening skills.
B.To draw people’s attention to plants.
C.To make plants experience the move.
D.To study the living conditions of plants.
15.What can be the best title for the text

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology. 16 How might it change our lives
5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity (容量). 17 It is expected to permit more users to do more things at a faster rate.
However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different from the earlier systems. 18 It will affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions.
5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality (虚拟现实). Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.
19 The increased data flow across 5G networks would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety. 20 , or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.
A.Why is 5G so popular
B.What is this technology
C.Every coin has two sides
D.The new 5G system promises more of the same
E.It will move beyond mobile network technology
F.A breakdown of 5G networks may cause economic losses
G.A failure during a doctor's remote operation could lead to death

But that private time is more important than ever.”
A popular method for disconnecting is to choose a box for your cellphone, like the milk tin that Ms. Holley uses. “ 31 my phone is buzzing or lighting up, it’s still a distraction (分散注意力的事), so it 32 in the box,” said Ms. Holley. Others choose new rules. “No screens after 11 p.m.,” said Ari Melber, a TV host. “Now evenings are more 33 and I am sleeping better,” he added.

Last weekend, I went to Mark's new house nearby a forest for a little get-together. After lunch when I was chatting with his wife Cody, he asked me, “ Hey Tom, have you ever been to a secret spot ” Before I could even finish saying no, Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera,a fishingnet and a plastic bucket(桶).
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air, we three talked and laughed all the way.
“Hey! What are you guys doing " Someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody's eyes immediately widened, and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them, getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked, “Who was that ”
Mark replied,"The most annoying neighbor ever. If he caught up with us, there's no telling what could happen. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes." Wow! Amazing!" I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue, looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.

I was thrilled to find so many fishes in the lake. Before I could say a word, Mark had cast the fishing net into the water. “Let’s wait and see.” Mark smiled mysteriously. "Look this way. Let me take a photo of you two. " Cody said, taking out the camera. Hearing that, I quickly approached Mark. But all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell into the water.
“Help! Help! Help!” I was so frightened and cried for help. However, none of us could swim. Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but in vain.
