For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow (影子), his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation,” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of (摆脱) this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
4. Where does Simon Beck create art
A. On maps. B. On canvas. C. On snow fields. D. On soccer fields.
5. Why did Beck create his first drawing
A. To have fun. B. To prove his talent.
C. To entertain the skiers. D. To develop a new hobby.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined expression “a huge hit”
A. popular. B. satisfying. C. appropriate. D. essential.
7. What contributed to Beck’s art creation
A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature.
C. His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps.

Engineers at Deakin University have developed a new generation of smart schoolbags that will end the days when students end up forgetting their homework, particularly since the smart schoolbags is capable of completing its own morning checklist.
According to a recent press release, the smart schoolbag comes with built-in hardware ware and software that can work to ensure it is packed correctly for each day’s timetable, including lunch and sports equipment.
The bag was designed by Dr Hamid Abdi alongside Master’s students at Deakin University. It uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags (标签) to detect items in the bag and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which extends Internet connectivity to everyday objects. “ The RFID technology allows any user to detect items in the bag in a contactless way,” Dr Abdi says. The IoT technology is employed to check its contents against the daily school plan. School or parents can enter data about the activities of each day into the system’s IoT server. The server then links these activities to the RFID tags placed on the items needed. The smart schoolbag can tell what items are not required, ensuring that the bag is no heavier than it needs to be.
The smart schoolbag will save a lot time and reduce stress that occurs when homework, hats or lunches are left by mistake, especially if that requires parents to quickly race home to collect the missing item.
While the system can be fitted to any schoolbag, the team have designed a sample of the smart schoolbag that includes the smartphone application. Dr Abdi and his team are looking for commercial partners to take the project to the next level.
8. Why do the engineers develop the smart schoolbag
A. To give a morning call. B. To remind pupils of school items.
C. To help correct homework. D. To reduce study pressure.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the smart schoolbag
A Its application. B. Its advantage.
C. Its characteristics. D. Its working principle.
10. What does Dr Abdi expect of the smart schoolbag
A. It’ll reach consumers soon. B. It’ll be environment-friendly.
C. It’ll replace parents’ duties. D. It’ll ensure academic progress.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. The First Generation of a Smart Schoolbag
B. The Latest System of Detecting Missing Items
C. A Smart Schoolbag Will Replace an Ordinary Bag
D. A Smart Schoolbag Saves Time and Reduce Stress
D
What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.
The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
What are these special methods of thinking and acting First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity — he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.
He is suspicious — he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available — and therefore rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them.
Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.
12. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through________.
A. applied knowledge B. more than one aspect
C. technology only D. the use of machines
13. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity
A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.
B. It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained.
C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.
D. It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.
14. According to the passage, a successful scientist would not________.
A. easily believe in unchecked statements
B. easily criticize others’ research work
C. always use his imagination in work
D. always use evidence from observation
15. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. Application of technology.
B. Progress in modern society.
C. Scientists’ ways of thinking and acting.
D. How to become a successful scientist.

That day before Christmas, I was wandering around in a super store. Suddenly I noticed the cashier hand a little girl some money back. At that time, the girl might be more than 7 or 8 years old. The cashier said, “I’m sorry, honey, but the money is not enough to buy this toy.” Then the little girl turned to a young woman next to her: “Ms, are you sure I don’t have enough money ” The woman counted and said: “I am sorry, my dear. The money can’t afford the toy.” Then, she checked out and left quickly. The little girl looked so worried. Finally, I walked over to her and I asked her who she wished to give this toy to.
“This is the kind of the toy that my little brother loved most. He once told me that he wanted it so much, especially for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to him,” she said. I said to her that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to him after all, and not to worry. But she replied to me sadly. “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to him where he is now. I have to give the toy to my mummy so that she can give it to my brother when she goes there.”
Her eyes were wet with great sadness while saying this. “My brother has gone to be with God. Daddy says that mummy is going to see God very soon too, so I expected that she could take the toy with her to give it to my brother.”
Hearing this, my heart nearly stopped, totally lost in thought.
Then I remembered an accident from my car radio a few days ago, mentioning a car was hit by a truck with a little boy dead right away and a woman injured badly. And the woman was left in a critical state (危急状态).
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
The little girl looked up at me and said she told her daddy to tell mummy not to go yet.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the girl: “Now let’s check again, honey.”

【答案】Hello everyone ,
When talking about the person who I adore most, I can’t help but think of Jiao Yulu, who made every effort to help people improve their lives.
Assigned to work in Lankao, Henan Province as the county’s Party secretary, Jiao Yulu devoted himself to leading the whole county in a campaign to fight against sandstorms and water logging in order to improve the unproductive soil. He did everything he could to improve the well-being of people but never cared about himself. After two years, the soil conditions were greatly improved and thousands of trees were planted in the desolate land. He was honored as a good servant of the people.
Due to his selfless dedication, I admire him greatly.
That’s all! Thank you for listening!

【答案】
Paragraph 1: The little girl looked up at me and said she told her daddy to tell mummy not to go yet. She said she needed her to wait until she came back with the toy. Then she showed me a very nice photo of her family. She was smiling at the photo immediately. “I love my mummy and I wish she didn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little brother,” she said. Then silently her eyes were fixed on the toy sadly again. I was moved by her words and wanted to give her a hand. A good idea flashed in my mind.
Paragraph 2: I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the girl: “Now let’s check again, honey.” “OK,” she said happily, “I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to hers without her noticing and we started to count it. There was enough for the toy. The little girl said: “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” Then she looked at me and added, “Last night, I asked God to make sure I had enough money to buy this toy, so that mummy could give it to my brother. He heard me!” Seeing the girl bought the toy and left happily, I felt my tears rolling down my cheek.
