Life is just like a box of chocolates and you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort.
Jessica was a healthy woman, One day, while she was working on a brilliant idea that suddenly struck her, which she thought would be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem she was working on, she suddenly lost consciousness. After she was rushed to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to concentrate on what was causing her problem.
After several weeks, Jessica was still stiff from head to foot, but luckily, she was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is not to be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8.
For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality.
In fact, there are other ways for Consuelo to earn a living by reading lips, but she says helping patients separate horrible dreams from reality is the most rewarding way she can use her unique skill. “What is really wonderful, without doubt, is being able to use this skill to create healing and to create communication between human beings. That’s what feels best: Love. ”
After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered.
Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands. Jessica eventually went back to work as a math professor. After her experience she wrote a new living will. One thing she added is that if she ever becomes incapacitated like this again, she is never to be left alone.

If there’s one rule that most parents stick to in the confusing, fast-changing world of kids and media, it’s “No screens before age 2.” As of today, that rule has been thrown out the window.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (儿科) (AAP), which first issued that recommendation back in 1999, has greatly updated and revised its guidelines for children and teenagers to reflect new research and new habits.
The new guidelines, especially for very young children, shift the focus from WHAT is on the screen to WHO else is in the room. And in doing so, they raise some interesting points about the future of learning from media.
For babies younger than 18 months, AAP still says no screens at all are the best idea — with one notable exception: Live video chat. Surveys indicate that families already popularly believe that “Facetime doesn’t count”, or at least that the benefit of virtual visits with grandparents or other relatives outweighs the potential cost of exposing babies to the laptop or smartphones.
For infants and toddlers (学步儿童), ages 15 months to 2 years old, there’s limited evidence from a couple of very small studies that they can learn new words from educational media, if and only if parents are watching alongside them, repeating what the video says and/or drawing attention to what is on the screen. In other words, treating a video or an app like a picture book is the best bet.
The opposite side of this is that many studies have actually shown poorer language skills associated with earlier solo viewing of “educational” videos. There’s also research that shows language delays in children who watch more TV and start watching earlier. For this reason, the new AAP guideline has changed from “avoid all screens under age 2” to “avoid solo media use in this age group.”
For preschoolers ages 2 to 5, there’s more evidence that they have the ability to transfer knowledge from screens to the real world, including early literacy and math. For this age group, AAP recommends no more than an hour a day of screen use. And, just as with younger children, they want care-givers to take part in screen time: “Co-view with your children, help children understand what they are seeing, and help them apply what they learn to the world around them.”
46．What do we know about the “No screen under 2” rule
A．It has met more and more resistance from parents.
B．It has proved helpful to children’s healthy growth.
C．It confuses parents with regard to kids’ education.
D．It has been discarded in line with recent research.
47．What do the new AAP guideline suggest
A．Young children should be accompanied by parents during screen time.
B．Parents should be emotionally involved in their children’s raising.
C．Young children should watch videos carefully selected by parents.
D．Parents should protect their children from too much media exposure.
48．What do families think of live video chat according to surveys
A．It should not be regarded as screen time.
B．It helps babies to develop their spoken skills.
C．It is not as harmful as playing games on laptops.
D．It is a good replacement for video viewing.
49．What do researchers find about kids solo viewing educational videos
A．It promotes their interest in language learning.
B．It works no better than reading picture books.
C．It prevents their development of language skills.
D．It helps them get independent learning skills.
50．What does the author say about preschoolers ages 2 to 5
A．They can understand pretty well what they see on the screen.
B．They can learn on their own without much parental guidance.
C．They can make use of educational videos develop digital literacy.
D．They can relate what they learn on the screen to real life situations.
The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as “the world’s ultimate library” in 2017, and “breathtaking” was the word chosen for it. One book at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.
But as the awe continues, there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune from digitalization And do we still need libraries as we’ve got the Internet in our hands
Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance - people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”. According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people. And one of the pitfalls that come with online materials is that they’re not always trustworthy. “Google doesn’t tell you what you’re not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and completeness of what they see on their screens, ” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens.
But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides. It’s something that's called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. And compared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-commercial nature” that allows you to relax completely. “Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”
51．The attraction of the Tianjin Binhai Public Library lies in _______.
A．world's ultimate library B．design and book walls
C．every book lover's dream D．reports on The Daily Mail
52．The underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．problems B．functions C．mistakes D．trends
53．What would Ian Clark probably agree with
A．Libraries have changed the way people read.
B．Libraries are as important as they used to be.
C．Libraries are better used by the poor than the rich.
D．Libraries are made more available to more people.
54．What advantages do libraries have over coffee shops according to Anne Goulding
A．Libraries make people less likely to get distracted.
B．Libraries give people more motivation and inspiration.
C．Libraries provide people with a wider range of choices.
D．Libraries allow people to read without fear of being judged.
55．Where can you probably find the above passage
A．In a news report. B．In an introductory speech.
C．In a science magazine. D．In a fashion brochure.
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
“I’ve never picked the jobs I’ve done in my life,” says Mark Sadler, who spent 20 years working at the London Underground. But when he retired at 60, finally, he says, “I got to choose.” He became a lifeguard.
Three years ago, Sadler was giving blood when he felt chest pain. He says, “The doctor asked: ‘Do you drink ’ ‘Yeah, probably too much.’ ‘Do you smoke ’ ‘Yes.’ They could see by my size that I ate too much. I thought, ‘I’m never going to be in this position again.’” Then Sadler stopped smoking and drinking, and followed a vegan (纯素的) diet. He never went back to the underground.
“I’ve always had to earn as much as I can to provide for my family,” Sadler says. At the underground, he looked after the engineering fleet. He worked 10-to-12-hour days, and often returned to visit the tunnels at night. “If I got the call at 1, I’d be on the go at 1:15.”
He regards his wife and two daughters as. “always the most important thing in my life”, but while he worked, “for 20 years or so, it was like they were wrapped in clingfilm (保鲜膜)”. He means he could see them, but they were in a separate world. That’s why Sadler made his daughters, by then adults, an offer. “I told them: ‘If you have a child, I will become a full-time grandparent.’” For the past couple of years he has combined caring for his granddaughter with life guarding. Being a grandparent, he says, has shown “how much I missed” as a father.
For the first six months after he qualified, Sadler was asked at least once a day how old he was. “I was 40 years older than anyone else on the course. But to have young peers (同行) gives you a different perspective.
Now he is part of a community. “In my old job,I used to say to everyone: ‘Every day you’re learning.’ I feel that even more now that I’ve got to 60. I’m doing something that I chose. I can balance my job with my wife and family. It is everything I want.”
56．What did Sadler do after retirement (No more than 5 words)
57．What made Sadler change his lifestyle (No more than 10 words)
58．How do you understand the underlined sentence (No more than 15 words)
59．How does Sadler feel about his career shift (1 word)
60．What is the most important factor for you to choose a job Please explain. (No more than 20 words)

According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.(记者伊恩·克拉克将带来答案。“图书馆的重要性并没有下降——人们只是改变了使用图书馆的方式，”他写道。克拉克的意思是，图书馆已经从单纯的图书仓库转变为一种帮助“弥合贫富差距”的媒介。在他看来，图书馆是必不可少的。由于不是每个人都买得起智能手机、平板电脑或互联网连接，也不是每个人都知道如何有效地搜索互联网，所以公共图书馆可以确保更多的人可以使用这些资源和技术。)”可知，在伊恩·克拉克看来，与电子设备和互联网相比，现实中更多的人可以多多走近图书馆来获取信息和资源。故选D。

61．【答案】 Value PE classes
Hello, everyone! Physical education, one of the five dimensions of education, is an important component of quality education. As a major carrier of PE, PE classes can undoubtedly bring us numerous benefits, such as cultivating physical qualities, strengthening team spirit and deepening the concept of lifelong exercise.
Unfortunately, some students ignore PE classes, during which they simply bury themselves in homework or just idle the time away. What a pity!
It's high time we valued and actively participated in PE classes. We should not only do physical exercise but learn sports knowledge. Only in this way can we establish good exercising habits and accumulate sports culture, thus laying a solid foundation for lifelong sports and the spread of Chinese culture.
My friends, let's attach great importance to PE classes!

Life is just like a box of chocolates and you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes when we are in our darkest hour, something completely unexpected happens that can give us a little bit of hope and comfort.
Jessica was a healthy woman, One day, while she was working on a brilliant idea that suddenly struck her, which she thought would be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem she was working on, she suddenly lost consciousness. After she was rushed to the hospital, her heart rate slowed by nearly 50 percent. It took nine days for doctors to concentrate on what was causing her problem.
After several weeks, Jessica was still stiff from head to foot, but luckily, she was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader. Consuelo can understand what people are saying by the shape their lips make. She can also understand how annoying it is not to be able to communicate because she has been completely deaf since the age of 8.
For a few hours each week, Jessica could have long conversations with Consuelo, diving into the ocean of words she dearly missed. Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked to Consuelo about the vivid dreams she was mixing up with reality.
In fact, there are other ways for Consuelo to earn a living by reading lips, but she says helping patients separate horrible dreams from reality is the most rewarding way she can use her unique skill. “What is really wonderful, without doubt, is being able to use this skill to create healing and to create communication between human beings. That’s what feels best: Love. ”
After four and a half months in the hospital, Jessica finally recovered.
Consuelo was there, holding Jessica’s hands. Jessica eventually went back to work as a math professor. After her experience she wrote a new living will. One thing she added is that if she ever becomes incapacitated like this again, she is never to be left alone.

If there’s one rule that most parents stick to in the confusing, fast-changing world of kids and media, it’s “No screens before age 2.” As of today, that rule has been thrown out the window.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (儿科) (AAP), which first issued that recommendation back in 1999, has greatly updated and revised its guidelines for children and teenagers to reflect new research and new habits.
The new guidelines, especially for very young children, shift the focus from WHAT is on the screen to WHO else is in the room. And in doing so, they raise some interesting points about the future of learning from media.
For babies younger than 18 months, AAP still says no screens at all are the best idea — with one notable exception: Live video chat. Surveys indicate that families already popularly believe that “Facetime doesn’t count”, or at least that the benefit of virtual visits with grandparents or other relatives outweighs the potential cost of exposing babies to the laptop or smartphones.
For infants and toddlers (学步儿童), ages 15 months to 2 years old, there’s limited evidence from a couple of very small studies that they can learn new words from educational media, if and only if parents are watching alongside them, repeating what the video says and/or drawing attention to what is on the screen. In other words, treating a video or an app like a picture book is the best bet.
The opposite side of this is that many studies have actually shown poorer language skills associated with earlier solo viewing of “educational” videos. There’s also research that shows language delays in children who watch more TV and start watching earlier. For this reason, the new AAP guideline has changed from “avoid all screens under age 2” to “avoid solo media use in this age group.”
For preschoolers ages 2 to 5, there’s more evidence that they have the ability to transfer knowledge from screens to the real world, including early literacy and math. For this age group, AAP recommends no more than an hour a day of screen use. And, just as with younger children, they want care-givers to take part in screen time: “Co-view with your children, help children understand what they are seeing, and help them apply what they learn to the world around them.”
46．What do we know about the “No screen under 2” rule
A．It has met more and more resistance from parents.
B．It has proved helpful to children’s healthy growth.
C．It confuses parents with regard to kids’ education.
D．It has been discarded in line with recent research.
47．What do the new AAP guideline suggest
A．Young children should be accompanied by parents during screen time.
B．Parents should be emotionally involved in their children’s raising.
C．Young children should watch videos carefully selected by parents.
D．Parents should protect their children from too much media exposure.
48．What do families think of live video chat according to surveys
A．It should not be regarded as screen time.
B．It helps babies to develop their spoken skills.
C．It is not as harmful as playing games on laptops.
D．It is a good replacement for video viewing.
49．What do researchers find about kids solo viewing educational videos
A．It promotes their interest in language learning.
B．It works no better than reading picture books.
C．It prevents their development of language skills.
D．It helps them get independent learning skills.
50．What does the author say about preschoolers ages 2 to 5
A．They can understand pretty well what they see on the screen.
B．They can learn on their own without much parental guidance.
C．They can make use of educational videos develop digital literacy.
D．They can relate what they learn on the screen to real life situations.
The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as “the world’s ultimate library” in 2017, and “breathtaking” was the word chosen for it. One book at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.
But as the awe continues, there’s a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries immune from digitalization And do we still need libraries as we’ve got the Internet in our hands
Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance - people are simply changing the way they use them,” he wrote. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots”. According to him, Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smart phone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the internet efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people. And one of the pitfalls that come with online materials is that they’re not always trustworthy. “Google doesn’t tell you what you’re not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and completeness of what they see on their screens, ” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that “evaluation” happens.
But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides. It’s something that's called a “third place”, according to the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted. And compared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “non-commercial nature” that allows you to relax completely. “Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices,” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, said. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”
51．The attraction of the Tianjin Binhai Public Library lies in _______.
A．world's ultimate library B．design and book walls
C．every book lover's dream D．reports on The Daily Mail
52．The underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．problems B．functions C．mistakes D．trends
53．What would Ian Clark probably agree with
A．Libraries have changed the way people read.
B．Libraries are as important as they used to be.
C．Libraries are better used by the poor than the rich.
D．Libraries are made more available to more people.
54．What advantages do libraries have over coffee shops according to Anne Goulding
A．Libraries make people less likely to get distracted.
B．Libraries give people more motivation and inspiration.
C．Libraries provide people with a wider range of choices.
D．Libraries allow people to read without fear of being judged.
55．Where can you probably find the above passage
A．In a news report. B．In an introductory speech.
C．In a science magazine. D．In a fashion brochure.

“I’ve never picked the jobs I’ve done in my life,” says Mark Sadler, who spent 20 years working at the London Underground. But when he retired at 60, finally, he says, “I got to choose.” He became a lifeguard.
Three years ago, Sadler was giving blood when he felt chest pain. He says, “The doctor asked: ‘Do you drink ’ ‘Yeah, probably too much.’ ‘Do you smoke ’ ‘Yes.’ They could see by my size that I ate too much. I thought, ‘I’m never going to be in this position again.’” Then Sadler stopped smoking and drinking, and followed a vegan (纯素的) diet. He never went back to the underground.
“I’ve always had to earn as much as I can to provide for my family,” Sadler says. At the underground, he looked after the engineering fleet. He worked 10-to-12-hour days, and often returned to visit the tunnels at night. “If I got the call at 1, I’d be on the go at 1:15.”
He regards his wife and two daughters as. “always the most important thing in my life”, but while he worked, “for 20 years or so, it was like they were wrapped in clingfilm (保鲜膜)”. He means he could see them, but they were in a separate world. That’s why Sadler made his daughters, by then adults, an offer. “I told them: ‘If you have a child, I will become a full-time grandparent.’” For the past couple of years he has combined caring for his granddaughter with life guarding. Being a grandparent, he says, has shown “how much I missed” as a father.
For the first six months after he qualified, Sadler was asked at least once a day how old he was. “I was 40 years older than anyone else on the course. But to have young peers (同行) gives you a different perspective.
Now he is part of a community. “In my old job,I used to say to everyone: ‘Every day you’re learning.’ I feel that even more now that I’ve got to 60. I’m doing something that I chose. I can balance my job with my wife and family. It is everything I want.”
56．What did Sadler do after retirement (No more than 5 words)
57．What made Sadler change his lifestyle (No more than 10 words)
58．How do you understand the underlined sentence (No more than 15 words)
59．How does Sadler feel about his career shift (1 word)
60．What is the most important factor for you to choose a job Please explain. (No more than 20 words)

61．【答案】 Value PE classes
Hello, everyone! Physical education, one of the five dimensions of education, is an important component of quality education. As a major carrier of PE, PE classes can undoubtedly bring us numerous benefits, such as cultivating physical qualities, strengthening team spirit and deepening the concept of lifelong exercise.
Unfortunately, some students ignore PE classes, during which they simply bury themselves in homework or just idle the time away. What a pity!
It's high time we valued and actively participated in PE classes. We should not only do physical exercise but learn sports knowledge. Only in this way can we establish good exercising habits and accumulate sports culture, thus laying a solid foundation for lifelong sports and the spread of Chinese culture.
My friends, let's attach great importance to PE classes!
