Passage 1
Where can you learn about the cultural relics(文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them. The show is called National Treasure. Now, the National Treasure 2 was on show on CCTV 3 on December 9, 2018.
In National Treasure 2, it has 10 episodes (集). It shows 27 treasures from 9 museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive, the show uses different ways to explain the story history and culture behind them.
Although it’s a show about old relics, it looks modern and technical. An IMAX-sized LED screen on the stage shows the treasures in detail. The treasures are presented by National treasure keepers, both famous people and common people. Instead of just telling the stories and history behind the treasures, the show invites famous actors to be national treasures keepers, and they act out the stories on the stage. The actors even use the funny words to make their performances interesting and alive. For example, on the show, actor Zhang Ruojun played Neier. TV viewers loved his performances.
While telling the stories behind the treasures, National treasure keepers also tell their own stories. For example, an old man named Qiu Qingnian who is good at making natural paints for repairing ancient paintings. For many years, he has been looking for mines deep inside mountains. What he said and what he did both show his memes(文化基因). On the TV program, he shows TV viewers how to make natural paints.

Passage 2
Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and a headset.
However, most students don't seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from 10 cities took the survey.
Many students said it is hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated High School of Peking University. “There are no classmates, no real teachers watching me. I can surf the internet or do other things if I want to. It's harder to always stay focused," she said.
Lian prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.
But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No 7 High School, thinks online interaction (互动)isn't enough.“The online teachers don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心),” she said.
However, online classes still have other advantages.“It saves time and money compared to taking offline classes. Also, if I don't understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again," Lian said.
1. How many students would take online classes according the survey?
A. About 400. B. About 500. C. About 600. D. About 700.
2. Which of the following is Lian Ruoran’s opinion on online classes?
A. There are both advantages and disadvantages.
B. The advantages are more than disadvantages.
C. She can learn more through online classes.
D. Online interaction isn't enough.
3. The underlined word “ focus” means ______ in Chinese.
A. 走神儿 B. 集中精力 C. 理解 D. 厌烦
4. What’s Wen Jiayi’s problem in taking online classes?
A. She can’t follow the teachers.
B. The teachers can’t answer her problems.
C. The teachers online care less than offline.
D. She can’t finish her homework in time.
5. What’s this passage about?
A. The writer’s view on online classes.
B. A survey about online classes.
C. The future development of online classes.
D. How to take online classes.
【主旨大意】本文是关于学生对线上课程看法的一项调查。两个学生阐明了自己的看法。
1. C 1500名学生参与了调查，33%愿意参加课程，计算得知大学是500人。
2. A Lian在第三段和末段分别阐述了线上课程的缺点和优点。
3. B 由第三段她说的话“没人监督，可以做想做的事情”可知是学习很难集中精力。
4. C 倒数第二段Wen的观点是与老师的互动不够，老师对自己不了解，不交作业也可以，可见她认为老师对学生关注不够。
5. D 由“According to a recent survey”及后面学生围绕线上课程发表的观点可知文段主要是关于线上课程的调查。
Passage 3
It’s early in the morning and the alarm clock has already rung several times. You have to drag yourself out of bed and rush to school, afraid of missing the first school bell.
As a school student, this is probably a common experience for you.
But thanks to new rules, many students in Zhejiang and Heilongjiang provinces can now stay in bed longer than before.
On Feb 23, the Zhejiang Department of Education published a new guideline (指导方针) that asks primary schools to start school later, reported Xinhua News Agency.
According to the guideline, start times could vary among different grades and seasons, with students in Grade 1 and 2 starting no earlier than 8:30 am. Some schools in Zhejiang province have been chosen to test this new guideline, which is expected to be used in other areas in 2019.
A similar guideline was announced by the education department in Heilongjiang province on Feb 24. Since the new semester began in March, students from all primary and junior high schools in the province have been required to arrive at school no earlier than 8 am. And senior high school students are now required to arrive at school no earlier than 7:30 am.
These changes are aimed at making sure students get adequate (足够的) sleep and enough time for breakfast. Before the guideline was published, many primary school students in Zhejiang were required to arrive at school as early as 7 or 7:30 am, which left many of them arriving feeling tired and hungry.
According to a 2016 study by the Zhejiang Department of Education, only 54.1 percent of students in Grade 4 slept nine hours or more a night, while the required sleep time for primary students is 10 hours.
These changes have received much praise. “I definitely (明确地) welcome the move, since this will ensure (保证) my son has enough time for breakfast, which is vital for his health and growth,” a mother surnamed Xu from Hangzhou, whose son is a first-grade student, told China Daily. Pushing back school times isn’t unique to China. In the United States, schools in at least 21 states began to start school later in 2017, as various studies have shown that later school start times could benefit students, reported The Atlantic.
For example, according to a 2015 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, later school start times could help improve students’ health and study performance.
Just as Mary Carskadon, a sleep expert from Brown University, US, told The Atlantic, “Everybody learns better when they’re awake.”
1. From the passage we can know that some students may __________ before.
A. drag himself out of bed B. rush to school
C. miss the school bell D. All of the above
2.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Heilongjiang and Zhejiang began to start school later.
B. The guideline is aimed at making sure students can sleep better and eat more healthily..
C. Some parents are against these changes.
D. A report show that later school start times can make students’ health and study better.
3.This new guideline is expected to be used in every area in Zhejiang in __________.
A. 2018 B. 2019
C. 2020 D. 2021
4.We can probably find the passage in a ______.
A. fashion magazine B. math book
C. newspaper D. scientific report
【答案】1—4 DCBC
Passage 4
He was a journalist and a political critic (政治评论家). But to most people, he is the most influential martial arts novelist in the Chinese-speaking world.
Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away at the age of 94 on Oct. 30th 2018 in Hong Kong.
During his lifetime, Jin Yong wrote 15 martial arts novels. Over 300 million copies of his books have been sold around the world. He also created some of the most well-known characters in the history of Chinese literature, including Guo Jing, Wei Xiaobao and Linghu Chong.
Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu, but no one can deny (否认) that he has written some of its best stories. His works were not only a joy for people to read, but also helped to shape Chinese people’s spirits and values in recent decades (十年).Jin Yong once said, “wuxia (martial arts novels) is not so much about wu (kung fu), but mainly about xia, a combination of courage, justice and self-sacrifice (自我牺牲).”
These values have been passed on to generations of Chinese through his books, as well as a large number of movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his novels.
“Jin Yong turns novels into an encyclopedia (百科全书) of Chinese history, medicine, geography, mathematics ...” Boston University professor Petrus Liu told NPR.
Jin Yong once said that he hoped people would still read his books even 100 or 200 years after his death. We can say as long as the noble (高尚的) qualities that are mentioned in his stories never die out, neither will his great works themselves.?
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Louis Cha is Jin Yong’s pen name.
B. Jin Yong was the first man that created jianghu.
C. Jin Yong’s works have a strong influence on Chinese people’s spirits and values in recent decades.
D. Jin Yong’s values of wuxia are only passed on through his books.
2. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “adapted”?
A. cut off B. set up C. came out D. made up
3. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. An influential journalist B. King of wuxia
C. Martial arts world D. Jin Yong’s books
4. This passage may be read in .
A. an advertisement B. a newspaper
C. a meeting notice D. a novel
【主旨大意】本文一篇说明文，文章介绍了著名的武侠小说作者——金庸。
1. 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away at the age of 94 on Oct. 30th 2018 in Hong Kong.” 可知，Jin Yun是笔名，故A项错误。根据第四段第一句“Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu,” 可知B项错误。根据第四段第二句“His works were not only a joy for people to read, but also helped to shape Chinese people’s spirits and values in recent decades . ”可知，C项正确。根据第五段“These values have been passed on to generations of Chinese through his books, as well as the countless movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his novels. ”可知，D是错误的。
2 D 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知金庸是一个武侠小说家，他的作品应该是被改编成了电影、电视节目。cut off 意为“把……剪掉”；set up意为“建立”；come out意为“出版”；make up意为“编造”，根据语境可知，make up可以用替换。
3. B 标题归纳题。介绍了著名的武侠作者金庸。故选B。
4. B文章来源题。本文是一篇是人物报道，因此应该来源于报纸，故选B。
Passage 5
Imagine you walk into a store. Strangely enough, you see no staff (店员) inside. You pick up things and prepare to wait in line and pay. But even more oddly, there is no cashier at all. So what has happened to this store?
Well, you may have entered Tao Café, a cashless store created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. In July, the public got to see the store for the first time at Alibaba’s Taobao Maker Festival in Hangzhou.
The 200-square-meter store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. It can hold up to 50 shoppers at a time. To enter and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account (账户).
By scanning their Taobao QR code (二维码), shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition. The store has also digitalized (数字化) all goods and their placement on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up goods, the system will be able to “watch” and “remember” their selection.
When shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout doors. Then the bills will be paid with a Taobao account connected to Alipay.
According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize goods even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to steal things from the store.
Tao Café is not the only cashless store in China. A 24-hour convenience store with no staff called BingoBox opened in Shanghai in June. To enter the store, shoppers scan a QR code on WeChat or Alipay. But unlike the Tao Café, they have to scan another QR code to leave the BingoBox.
1. The underlined word “oddly” means “__________”.
A. strangely B. surprisingly
C. importantly D. helpfully
2. To buy things from Tao Café, you need to have all of the following EXCEPT __________.
A. a smartphone B. a Taobao app
C. an Alipay account D. two QR codes
3. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about?
A. How to check out in Tao Café. B. Why Tao Café needs cameras.
C. How the system in Tao Café works. D. When the bills are paid in the store.
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The elders would enjoy shopping in Tao Café.
B. Lots of things will be lost in the cashless store.
C. Shopping at BingoBox is the most convenient.
D. It saves people much time to shop at Tao Café.
答案： ADCD
Passage6
Students at the No. 11 Middle School in Hangzhou, China, may have to think twice before getting distracted（分心）in class as a new facial recognition system will be scanning their faces every 30 seconds to make sure they are paying attention.
Called a “smart classroom behavior management system”, the new monitoring solution has recently been installed at Hangzhou’s No. 11 Middle School. It has an Al-powered software that analyzes the students’ facial expressions and general behavior and assesses whether they are enjoying lessons or if their minds are wandering.
The Al is able to pick up seven different emotions, including neutral, happy, sad, disappointed, angry, scared and surprised, and will send a notice to the teacher to take action if it detects that one or more students are distracted during class. The data gathered by the surveillance system could also be used to evaluate（评价） teachers' performance. So far, it has only been installed at this school in Hangzhou, but if results turn out great, it could be rolled out across China.
“Maybe some kids think that it will be watching them the whole time and make them nervous, but they are maybe making too much out of it, because they will feel pressured, but that's not the point of it,” one teacher at No. 11 Middle School said. "It's about getting the children to learn properly the whole time they are in class.”
One thing this teacher is definitely right about is the kids being freaked out by the high-tech cameras recording their every move and facial expression. Some are already changing their behavior because of this.
1. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. receive B. discover C. collect D. guess
2. Which of the following feelings of the students about the new system isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A. Nervous. B. Pressured. C. Frightened. D. Proud.
3. The new facial recognition system _______according to the passage.
A. can only monitor students’ behavior in class.
B. has been installed in schools of many cities.
C. aims at making students learn better in class.
D. hasn’t any good influence on students since installed.
4. The last paragraph mainly talks about___________.
A. how the new system influences the students
B. what are the high-tech cameras like
C. what the teachers think about the new system
D. how the high-tech cameras work

Passage7
Many of us may have experienced the pleasant surprise of seeing recommended(推荐的) songs after you listen to certain songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we are more likely to see things on the home page that we might want to buy.

The information not only tells travelers’ reviews, but also tells the scenic areas where services need to be improved.
Big data is also an important growth engine(增长引擎) for economic development. With an annual growth rate of 30 percent, sales of big data services and products in China will reach 1 trillion yuan yearly by 2020, China News Service reported.

Passage 10
Many years ago, people depended on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satellite navigation (satnav) systems (卫星导航系统）to guide us.
A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s position. They send information to a receiver（接收器）, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning System (GPS), which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system—BeiDou.
On October 14，2017，an ARJ21-700 plane with the BeiDou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad. BeiDou navigation system has started providing global services on December 27, 2018, and the system is scheduled to become complete around 2020.
Since its introduction in 2000，the BeiDou navigation system has seen increasing numbers of applications (应用）in everyday life, from shared bikes to farming. For example, shared bikes, smart locks with the BeiDou chips make it easier to find a bike. Farmers can use BeiDou to help plow (梨耕）the soil and sow seeds. BeiDou’s farming applications have spread most parts of China.
With its many uses, the BeiDou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative “So far, the BeiDou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific area,” said the main designer of the BeiDou system.
Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our heads, and China plans to send up even more this year to expand (扩张）the BeiDou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative. As BeiDou expands abroad, it will be more popular in the logistics (物流）industry.
1.The purpose of the first three paragraphs is .
A. to tell us something about GPS
B. to show us the advantages of satnav systems
C. to tell us how satnav systems were made
D. to tell us about some satnav systems and how they work
2.The underlined phrase “the system” refers to (指） .
A. the Global Positioning System
B. the BeiDou navigation system
C. the European Union’s Galileo
D. Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite System
3.According to the article, the BeiDou navigation system is already widely used .
A. to help farmers with farming
B. to improve the speed of networks
C. in the international logistics industry
D. in the whole Asia-Pacific area
4. The writer thinks the future of the BeiDou navigation system is to be .
A. worrying B. doubtful

Passage 11
A number of companies have used the wind and the sun to produce energy. Now, one company is using the force of flowing rivers and ocean waves.
The company is based in the U.S. state of Maine. It is called the Ocean Renewable Power Company, or ORPC. The company recently presented the new technology at an energy conference near Washington, DC. Christopher Sauer, the CEO of ORPC says the technology was designed for small, lonely villages that do not have easy ways to get power.
The ORPC technology is an energy generator(发电机)which can be put under water in the river, called RivGen. It works in a series of steps. First, the generator is put in the middle of a steel cage. The cage goes on top of a wide boat with a flat bottom called a pontoon(趸船). Wheels – or, turbines(涡轮机) – are connected to each side of the generator. Once the pontoon boat is fixed to one place, it is flooded with water. The pontoon, cage, and generator all sink to the bottom of the river. There, the river waves turn the wheels and creates as much as 50 kilowatts(千瓦)of power.
CEO Christopher Sauer says the generator is not very tall, so it can work in water areas that are not very deep, but other companies are not able to work in shallow water. And, Sauer says, the turbines are safe for the animals that live in the river. “At the peak of salmon(鲑鱼) season, we had almost two million fish pass by this thing but at the end of all of that, we did not have a single fish die that we knew about,” he said. Another feature of the technology he mentioned is “crossflow turbines”. They permit the turbines to move in the same direction, no matter what way the water is flowing. Sauer also says the turbines’ shape permits the generator to harvest power from tidal waves in the ocean. The company’s ocean turbine is called TidGen. It can create up to 600 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power a small settlement(定居点).
Right now, the amount of power TidGen can harvest changes as the strength of the tide goes up and down. But ORPC workers are trying to make the power output steady(稳定的). In time, they want TidGen power to be part of the main energy.
CEO Christopher Sauer estimates ORPC’s current price is about 50 cents per kilowatt-hour. That price does not make the ORPC system competitive with natural gas. However, for small lonely villages, energy from flowing water could be more economical.
1. What can ORPC use to produce energy?
A. The wind. B. The sun.
C. The natural gas. D. The force of flowing river.
2. Where is RivGen when it works?
A. On the river. B. At the bottom of the river.
C. Over the river. D. On the river bank.
3. According to what Sauer said in Para 4, we can know that ___________ .
A. the turbines killed lots of fish
B. salmons can help the RivGen create power
C. the animals that live in the river may destroy the turbines
D. the turbines do not make the animals in the river in danger
4. Which of the following word CANNOT be used to describe the RivGen?
A. Safe. B. Perfect.
C. Useful. D. Harmless.
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. ORPC’s generator can work in shallow water.
B. The way the water is flowing can make the turbines move in different directions.
C. TidGen power is still not part of the main energy at present because of its unsteady output.
D. All lonely villages in the U.S. will have easy ways to get power with the help of RivGen.
答案： DBDBC
Passage 12
You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then make sure that the umbrella offers passers-by shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which notices whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the passers-by. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of passers-by.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
1 For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain. B. To check the weather forecast.
C. To protect people from the rain. D. To remind people to take an umbrella.
2. Which of the following is similar to the underlined word “appropriate”?
A. possible B. suitable
C. right D. necessary
3. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella? A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance.
C. Its installation. D. Its safety.
4. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The designer will open a company to promote his product. B. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production. C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical. D. The working order of Lampbrella is: motor→sensors→canopy
[主旨大意]本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了一种新的发明——路灯雨伞。这种路灯雨伞可以让你即使在下雨天没带雨衣或者雨伞的时候也不必害怕被淋湿。这是一种安装在路边电线杆上类似雨伞的装置，由传感器、电机和伞蓬三部分构成。
1. C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容可知，设计者发明这个装置的目的是避免没带雨具的人们淋雨。故C项正确。
2. B 词义猜测题。possible意为“可能的”；suitable意为“合适的”；right意为“正确的”；necessary意为“必要的”。根据第二段Mikhail Belyaev的叙述，有次下雨他开车经过一条大街，看到街灯亮了，照着那些试图避雨的人们。由此可推知，路灯上“适合”有一个蓬。be appropriate to意为“适合”，与suitable意思相近。故选B。
3. D 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的关键信息“so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians...to protect from possible lightning strike”和“it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”可知第五段主要描述了这种伞的安全性，故D项为正确答案。
4. C 推理判断题。文中未提及 “发明者将自己开办公司来推广他的产品”，故A项错误；根据最后一段中的 “While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production...”可知还，没有计划要把雨水感应式路灯伞投入生产，故B项错误；文中提到虽然没计划投入生产，但设计者把它介绍给了一个莫斯科的部门，而且他认为他的发明可以安装在行人多而无遮挡的灯柱上，可知设计者对自己的发明充满信心，因此答案为C；根据文章三、四段的叙述可知传感器先感知下雨，然后内置的电机打开，最后是伞蓬张开，故正确的顺序为sensors→motor→canopy，因此D项错误。

Passage 13
As the biggest movie of the year worldwide, China's sci-fi blockbuster(科幻大片)?The Wandering Earth has caught attention of the world, including Hollywood. And the film is such a big success that it will be translated into 28 languages and released in 190 countries.
It tells the frantic mission to save the planet from being devoured(吞噬；毁灭) by the sun by installing engines on the Earth to bring the Earth out of the solar system and find a new home in the galaxy. A user named westleyma wrote that he read the novel 20 years ago and still remember the feelings after reading, when he saw the pictures on the screen, which had imagined thousand times, he was really moved.
The film took two years for post-production and special effects work undergoing more than 3,000 conceptual designs. And it ?has earned more than 4.3 billion yuan ($ 641 million) since its opening on Feb 5, the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday, making it the second-highest grossing film, second only to Wolf Warrior II.
"The idea of science and technology museum is to interpret science and technology and inspire the young people to get interested in this field. I think both producers of sci-fi films and?The Wandering Earth?are connected to our museum as we have holding the same responsibility to bury the seed of the science and technology to the teenagers," curator of China Science and Technology Museum Yin Hao said at a seminar in Beijing.
According to Yin,?The Wandering Earth?was collected by the museum in January which is the museum's first film collection.
"I think?The Wandering Earth?sits on a very important position of the development of China's sci-fi works, as it indicates China's sci-fi works has moved from the age of magazines and books to the era of films and television," Yin said.
Passage 14
Spring, and its sense of rejuvenation（复苏）, has arrived. Time again for the outdoors, walking or more robust（强健的）exercise. Walking certainly seems to be growing in popularity. Chinese people walked, on average, 6,303 steps per day over the past year and the number is increasing. Since the dawn of smartphones, technology has made it easier to count the steps. Here are some apps to help you strengthen your exercise.

Ping An Good Doctor
This app, providing online health services, can also count steps, and these can be converted into virtual coins the next day. With enough virtual coins, users can buy health-related products from its online store at discounted prices.
Passage 15
Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies Co has said that it expects to win 5G network contracts in Germany, which would mark the latest vote of confidence from foreign telecom（电信） carriers.
Huawei is expected to deliver components（零件）needed for building 5G networks to major telecom carriers operating in Germany, namely Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefonica, said Vincent Pang, president of Huawei Western Europe, in an interview with German newspaper Rheinische Post.
A group of telecom operators at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, either confirmed new orders or expressed a willingness to do business with the world's largest telecom equipment maker.
Commenting on Huawei's growing overseas contracts, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said, "Most countries in the world are still able to independently make choices that are in line with national interests."
At the conference, Etisalat, the largest telecom operator in the United Arab Emirates, announced a partnership with Huawei to launch a 5G network in the country by the end of this year.
Rain, South Africa's mobile data-only network operator, also signed a deal with Huawei to launch the country's first 5G commercial network.
"Mapping（绘制）out 5G requires a company to have a well-rounded ability to build the network, such as end-to-end construction," said Xiang Ligang, chairman of the Information Consumption Alliance.
To put 5G into commercial use, companies should also take efficiency and cost into consideration, and "Huawei is competitive in all of the above capabilities and has gained a lead on a global scale".
Nick Read, CEO of the world's second-largest mobile operator said, "Cutting the number of network suppliers from three to two would damage the industry and economic growth. Barring Huawei will delay 5G in Europe by probably two years－it will structurally disadvantage Europe."
Huawei has been steadily increasing its 5G contracts. It has secured over 30 5G contracts in overseas markets and has signed cooperation deals with more than 50 partners.
Passage 1
Where can you learn about the cultural relics(文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them. The show is called National Treasure. Now, the National Treasure 2 was on show on CCTV 3 on December 9, 2018.

Passage 2
Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and a headset.
However, most students don't seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from 10 cities took the survey.
Many students said it is hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated High School of Peking University. “There are no classmates, no real teachers watching me. I can surf the internet or do other things if I want to. It's harder to always stay focused," she said.
Lian prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.
But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No 7 High School, thinks online interaction (互动)isn't enough.“The online teachers don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心),” she said.
However, online classes still have other advantages.“It saves time and money compared to taking offline classes. Also, if I don't understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again," Lian said.

Passage 3
It’s early in the morning and the alarm clock has already rung several times. You have to drag yourself out of bed and rush to school, afraid of missing the first school bell.
As a school student, this is probably a common experience for you.
But thanks to new rules, many students in Zhejiang and Heilongjiang provinces can now stay in bed longer than before.
On Feb 23, the Zhejiang Department of Education published a new guideline (指导方针) that asks primary schools to start school later, reported Xinhua News Agency.
According to the guideline, start times could vary among different grades and seasons, with students in Grade 1 and 2 starting no earlier than 8:30 am. Some schools in Zhejiang province have been chosen to test this new guideline, which is expected to be used in other areas in 2019.
A similar guideline was announced by the education department in Heilongjiang province on Feb 24. Since the new semester began in March, students from all primary and junior high schools in the province have been required to arrive at school no earlier than 8 am. And senior high school students are now required to arrive at school no earlier than 7:30 am.
These changes are aimed at making sure students get adequate (足够的) sleep and enough time for breakfast. Before the guideline was published, many primary school students in Zhejiang were required to arrive at school as early as 7 or 7:30 am, which left many of them arriving feeling tired and hungry.
According to a 2016 study by the Zhejiang Department of Education, only 54.1 percent of students in Grade 4 slept nine hours or more a night, while the required sleep time for primary students is 10 hours.
These changes have received much praise. “I definitely (明确地) welcome the move, since this will ensure (保证) my son has enough time for breakfast, which is vital for his health and growth,” a mother surnamed Xu from Hangzhou, whose son is a first-grade student, told China Daily. Pushing back school times isn’t unique to China. In the United States, schools in at least 21 states began to start school later in 2017, as various studies have shown that later school start times could benefit students, reported The Atlantic.
For example, according to a 2015 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, later school start times could help improve students’ health and study performance.
Just as Mary Carskadon, a sleep expert from Brown University, US, told The Atlantic, “Everybody learns better when they’re awake.”
1. From the passage we can know that some students may __________ before.
A. drag himself out of bed B. rush to school
C. miss the school bell D. All of the above
2.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Heilongjiang and Zhejiang began to start school later.
B. The guideline is aimed at making sure students can sleep better and eat more healthily..
C. Some parents are against these changes.
D. A report show that later school start times can make students’ health and study better.
3.This new guideline is expected to be used in every area in Zhejiang in __________.
A. 2018 B. 2019
C. 2020 D. 2021
4.We can probably find the passage in a ______.
A. fashion magazine B. math book
C. newspaper D. scientific report
【答案】1—4 DCBC
Passage 4
He was a journalist and a political critic (政治评论家). But to most people, he is the most influential martial arts novelist in the Chinese-speaking world.
Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away at the age of 94 on Oct. 30th 2018 in Hong Kong.
During his lifetime, Jin Yong wrote 15 martial arts novels. Over 300 million copies of his books have been sold around the world. He also created some of the most well-known characters in the history of Chinese literature, including Guo Jing, Wei Xiaobao and Linghu Chong.
Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu, but no one can deny (否认) that he has written some of its best stories. His works were not only a joy for people to read, but also helped to shape Chinese people’s spirits and values in recent decades (十年).Jin Yong once said, “wuxia (martial arts novels) is not so much about wu (kung fu), but mainly about xia, a combination of courage, justice and self-sacrifice (自我牺牲).”
These values have been passed on to generations of Chinese through his books, as well as a large number of movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his novels.
“Jin Yong turns novels into an encyclopedia (百科全书) of Chinese history, medicine, geography, mathematics ...” Boston University professor Petrus Liu told NPR.
Jin Yong once said that he hoped people would still read his books even 100 or 200 years after his death. We can say as long as the noble (高尚的) qualities that are mentioned in his stories never die out, neither will his great works themselves.?

Passage 5
Imagine you walk into a store. Strangely enough, you see no staff (店员) inside. You pick up things and prepare to wait in line and pay. But even more oddly, there is no cashier at all. So what has happened to this store?
Well, you may have entered Tao Café, a cashless store created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. In July, the public got to see the store for the first time at Alibaba’s Taobao Maker Festival in Hangzhou.
The 200-square-meter store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. It can hold up to 50 shoppers at a time. To enter and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account (账户).
By scanning their Taobao QR code (二维码), shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition. The store has also digitalized (数字化) all goods and their placement on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up goods, the system will be able to “watch” and “remember” their selection.
When shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout doors. Then the bills will be paid with a Taobao account connected to Alipay.
According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize goods even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to steal things from the store.
Tao Café is not the only cashless store in China. A 24-hour convenience store with no staff called BingoBox opened in Shanghai in June. To enter the store, shoppers scan a QR code on WeChat or Alipay. But unlike the Tao Café, they have to scan another QR code to leave the BingoBox.
1. The underlined word “oddly” means “__________”.
A. strangely B. surprisingly
C. importantly D. helpfully
2. To buy things from Tao Café, you need to have all of the following EXCEPT __________.
A. a smartphone B. a Taobao app
C. an Alipay account D. two QR codes
3. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about?
A. How to check out in Tao Café. B. Why Tao Café needs cameras.
C. How the system in Tao Café works. D. When the bills are paid in the store.
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The elders would enjoy shopping in Tao Café.
B. Lots of things will be lost in the cashless store.
C. Shopping at BingoBox is the most convenient.
D. It saves people much time to shop at Tao Café.

Passage6
Students at the No. 11 Middle School in Hangzhou, China, may have to think twice before getting distracted（分心）in class as a new facial recognition system will be scanning their faces every 30 seconds to make sure they are paying attention.
Called a “smart classroom behavior management system”, the new monitoring solution has recently been installed at Hangzhou’s No. 11 Middle School. It has an Al-powered software that analyzes the students’ facial expressions and general behavior and assesses whether they are enjoying lessons or if their minds are wandering.
The Al is able to pick up seven different emotions, including neutral, happy, sad, disappointed, angry, scared and surprised, and will send a notice to the teacher to take action if it detects that one or more students are distracted during class. The data gathered by the surveillance system could also be used to evaluate（评价） teachers' performance. So far, it has only been installed at this school in Hangzhou, but if results turn out great, it could be rolled out across China.
“Maybe some kids think that it will be watching them the whole time and make them nervous, but they are maybe making too much out of it, because they will feel pressured, but that's not the point of it,” one teacher at No. 11 Middle School said. "It's about getting the children to learn properly the whole time they are in class.”
One thing this teacher is definitely right about is the kids being freaked out by the high-tech cameras recording their every move and facial expression. Some are already changing their behavior because of this.
1. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. receive B. discover C. collect D. guess
2. Which of the following feelings of the students about the new system isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A. Nervous. B. Pressured. C. Frightened. D. Proud.
3. The new facial recognition system _______according to the passage.
A. can only monitor students’ behavior in class.
B. has been installed in schools of many cities.
C. aims at making students learn better in class.
D. hasn’t any good influence on students since installed.
4. The last paragraph mainly talks about___________.
A. how the new system influences the students
B. what are the high-tech cameras like
C. what the teachers think about the new system
D. how the high-tech cameras work

Passage7
Many of us may have experienced the pleasant surprise of seeing recommended(推荐的) songs after you listen to certain songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we are more likely to see things on the home page that we might want to buy.
This is based on data(数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every part of our lives: our location, shopping habits and interests. All of this is called “big data”. The sources for big data generally fall into one of three categories: Streaming data, Social media data and publicly available sources.
President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy in order to better serve social and economic development and improve people’s lives, the Xinhua News Agency reported. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social safety and transportation.
In the past few years we have seen big data being used more often in China. The role it plays in tourism is just one example. The data travelers share online is providing the tourism industry with a lot of information about the country’s scenic areas. After the data is analyzed(分析), different scenic areas can create their own online information for other travelers to see. The information not only tells travelers’ reviews, but also tells the scenic areas where services need to be improved.
Big data is also an important growth engine(增长引擎) for economic development. With an annual growth rate of 30 percent, sales of big data services and products in China will reach 1 trillion yuan yearly by 2020, China News Service reported.

Passage 10
Many years ago, people depended on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satellite navigation (satnav) systems (卫星导航系统）to guide us.
A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s position. They send information to a receiver（接收器）, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning System (GPS), which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system—BeiDou.
On October 14，2017，an ARJ21-700 plane with the BeiDou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad. BeiDou navigation system has started providing global services on December 27, 2018, and the system is scheduled to become complete around 2020.
Since its introduction in 2000，the BeiDou navigation system has seen increasing numbers of applications (应用）in everyday life, from shared bikes to farming. For example, shared bikes, smart locks with the BeiDou chips make it easier to find a bike. Farmers can use BeiDou to help plow (梨耕）the soil and sow seeds. BeiDou’s farming applications have spread most parts of China.
With its many uses, the BeiDou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative “So far, the BeiDou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific area,” said the main designer of the BeiDou system.
Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our heads, and China plans to send up even more this year to expand (扩张）the BeiDou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative. As BeiDou expands abroad, it will be more popular in the logistics (物流）industry.
1.The purpose of the first three paragraphs is .
A. to tell us something about GPS
B. to show us the advantages of satnav systems
C. to tell us how satnav systems were made
D. to tell us about some satnav systems and how they work
2.The underlined phrase “the system” refers to (指） .
A. the Global Positioning System
B. the BeiDou navigation system
C. the European Union’s Galileo
D. Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite System
3.According to the article, the BeiDou navigation system is already widely used .
A. to help farmers with farming
B. to improve the speed of networks
C. in the international logistics industry
D. in the whole Asia-Pacific area
4. The writer thinks the future of the BeiDou navigation system is to be .

Passage 11
A number of companies have used the wind and the sun to produce energy. Now, one company is using the force of flowing rivers and ocean waves.
The company is based in the U.S. state of Maine. It is called the Ocean Renewable Power Company, or ORPC. The company recently presented the new technology at an energy conference near Washington, DC. Christopher Sauer, the CEO of ORPC says the technology was designed for small, lonely villages that do not have easy ways to get power.
The ORPC technology is an energy generator(发电机)which can be put under water in the river, called RivGen. It works in a series of steps. First, the generator is put in the middle of a steel cage. The cage goes on top of a wide boat with a flat bottom called a pontoon(趸船). Wheels – or, turbines(涡轮机) – are connected to each side of the generator. Once the pontoon boat is fixed to one place, it is flooded with water. The pontoon, cage, and generator all sink to the bottom of the river. There, the river waves turn the wheels and creates as much as 50 kilowatts(千瓦)of power.
CEO Christopher Sauer says the generator is not very tall, so it can work in water areas that are not very deep, but other companies are not able to work in shallow water. And, Sauer says, the turbines are safe for the animals that live in the river. “At the peak of salmon(鲑鱼) season, we had almost two million fish pass by this thing but at the end of all of that, we did not have a single fish die that we knew about,” he said. Another feature of the technology he mentioned is “crossflow turbines”. They permit the turbines to move in the same direction, no matter what way the water is flowing. Sauer also says the turbines’ shape permits the generator to harvest power from tidal waves in the ocean. The company’s ocean turbine is called TidGen. It can create up to 600 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power a small settlement(定居点).
Right now, the amount of power TidGen can harvest changes as the strength of the tide goes up and down. But ORPC workers are trying to make the power output steady(稳定的). In time, they want TidGen power to be part of the main energy.
CEO Christopher Sauer estimates ORPC’s current price is about 50 cents per kilowatt-hour. That price does not make the ORPC system competitive with natural gas. However, for small lonely villages, energy from flowing water could be more economical.
1. What can ORPC use to produce energy?
A. The wind. B. The sun.
C. The natural gas. D. The force of flowing river.
2. Where is RivGen when it works?
A. On the river. B. At the bottom of the river.
C. Over the river. D. On the river bank.
3. According to what Sauer said in Para 4, we can know that ___________ .
A. the turbines killed lots of fish
B. salmons can help the RivGen create power
C. the animals that live in the river may destroy the turbines
D. the turbines do not make the animals in the river in danger
4. Which of the following word CANNOT be used to describe the RivGen?
A. Safe. B. Perfect.
C. Useful. D. Harmless.
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. ORPC’s generator can work in shallow water.
B. The way the water is flowing can make the turbines move in different directions.
C. TidGen power is still not part of the main energy at present because of its unsteady output.
D. All lonely villages in the U.S. will have easy ways to get power with the help of RivGen.
答案： DBDBC
Passage 12
You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then make sure that the umbrella offers passers-by shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which notices whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the passers-by. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of passers-by.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
1 For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain. B. To check the weather forecast.
C. To protect people from the rain. D. To remind people to take an umbrella.
2. Which of the following is similar to the underlined word “appropriate”?
A. possible B. suitable
C. right D. necessary
3. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella? A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance.
C. Its installation. D. Its safety.
4. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The designer will open a company to promote his product. B. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production. C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical. D. The working order of Lampbrella is: motor→sensors→canopy
[主旨大意]本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了一种新的发明——路灯雨伞。这种路灯雨伞可以让你即使在下雨天没带雨衣或者雨伞的时候也不必害怕被淋湿。这是一种安装在路边电线杆上类似雨伞的装置，由传感器、电机和伞蓬三部分构成。
1. C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容可知，设计者发明这个装置的目的是避免没带雨具的人们淋雨。故C项正确。
2. B 词义猜测题。possible意为“可能的”；suitable意为“合适的”；right意为“正确的”；necessary意为“必要的”。根据第二段Mikhail Belyaev的叙述，有次下雨他开车经过一条大街，看到街灯亮了，照着那些试图避雨的人们。由此可推知，路灯上“适合”有一个蓬。be appropriate to意为“适合”，与suitable意思相近。故选B。
3. D 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的关键信息“so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians...to protect from possible lightning strike”和“it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”可知第五段主要描述了这种伞的安全性，故D项为正确答案。
4. C 推理判断题。文中未提及 “发明者将自己开办公司来推广他的产品”，故A项错误；根据最后一段中的 “While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production...”可知还，没有计划要把雨水感应式路灯伞投入生产，故B项错误；文中提到虽然没计划投入生产，但设计者把它介绍给了一个莫斯科的部门，而且他认为他的发明可以安装在行人多而无遮挡的灯柱上，可知设计者对自己的发明充满信心，因此答案为C；根据文章三、四段的叙述可知传感器先感知下雨，然后内置的电机打开，最后是伞蓬张开，故正确的顺序为sensors→motor→canopy，因此D项错误。

Passage 13
As the biggest movie of the year worldwide, China's sci-fi blockbuster(科幻大片)?The Wandering Earth has caught attention of the world, including Hollywood. And the film is such a big success that it will be translated into 28 languages and released in 190 countries.
It tells the frantic mission to save the planet from being devoured(吞噬；毁灭) by the sun by installing engines on the Earth to bring the Earth out of the solar system and find a new home in the galaxy. A user named westleyma wrote that he read the novel 20 years ago and still remember the feelings after reading, when he saw the pictures on the screen, which had imagined thousand times, he was really moved.
The film took two years for post-production and special effects work undergoing more than 3,000 conceptual designs. And it ?has earned more than 4.3 billion yuan ($ 641 million) since its opening on Feb 5, the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday, making it the second-highest grossing film, second only to Wolf Warrior II.
"The idea of science and technology museum is to interpret science and technology and inspire the young people to get interested in this field. I think both producers of sci-fi films and?The Wandering Earth?are connected to our museum as we have holding the same responsibility to bury the seed of the science and technology to the teenagers," curator of China Science and Technology Museum Yin Hao said at a seminar in Beijing.
According to Yin,?The Wandering Earth?was collected by the museum in January which is the museum's first film collection.
"I think?The Wandering Earth?sits on a very important position of the development of China's sci-fi works, as it indicates China's sci-fi works has moved from the age of magazines and books to the era of films and television," Yin said.
Passage 14
Spring, and its sense of rejuvenation（复苏）, has arrived. Time again for the outdoors, walking or more robust（强健的）exercise. Walking certainly seems to be growing in popularity. Chinese people walked, on average, 6,303 steps per day over the past year and the number is increasing. Since the dawn of smartphones, technology has made it easier to count the steps. Here are some apps to help you strengthen your exercise.
Joyrun
This app focuses on helping people become better runners. Users can create and join running groups and make new friends. Setting targets is a popular fun_ction. Users can choose from a variety of activities to set goals and those who achieve them may win prizes.
Codoon
This app can track your performance whether running, walking, riding or hiking. It has an active social platform where people can share photos and videos, and it offers running programs. Users can also launch their own activities, inviting people in the same city to join them.
This platform includes an integrated feature called WeChat Sports, which ranks(排列) your steps and those taken by friends each day. It also allows people to "like" the performance of their friends, and the number of daily likes people receive is visible all day long. Users can choose at most 10 friends to follow and see their daily activities, though the friends they follow will not be informed.
Alipay
The popular mobile payment app has a charity-oriented（以慈善为导向）activity called Ant Forest, where users' steps are converted(转换) into virtual energy, which can help tree planting. The energy needed for different trees varies and the amount of energy converted depends on how many steps people have walked. The app claims that after receiving an application from a user who has saved enough energy, a real tree will be planted in arid areas such as Alshaa League in North China's Inner Mongolia region.
Ping An Good Doctor
This app, providing online health services, can also count steps, and these can be converted into virtual coins the next day. With enough virtual coins, users can buy health-related products from its online store at discounted prices.
Passage 15
Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies Co has said that it expects to win 5G network contracts in Germany, which would mark the latest vote of confidence from foreign telecom（电信） carriers.
Huawei is expected to deliver components（零件）needed for building 5G networks to major telecom carriers operating in Germany, namely Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefonica, said Vincent Pang, president of Huawei Western Europe, in an interview with German newspaper Rheinische Post.
A group of telecom operators at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, either confirmed new orders or expressed a willingness to do business with the world's largest telecom equipment maker.
Commenting on Huawei's growing overseas contracts, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said, "Most countries in the world are still able to independently make choices that are in line with national interests."
At the conference, Etisalat, the largest telecom operator in the United Arab Emirates, announced a partnership with Huawei to launch a 5G network in the country by the end of this year.
Rain, South Africa's mobile data-only network operator, also signed a deal with Huawei to launch the country's first 5G commercial network.
"Mapping（绘制）out 5G requires a company to have a well-rounded ability to build the network, such as end-to-end construction," said Xiang Ligang, chairman of the Information Consumption Alliance.
To put 5G into commercial use, companies should also take efficiency and cost into consideration, and "Huawei is competitive in all of the above capabilities and has gained a lead on a global scale".
Nick Read, CEO of the world's second-largest mobile operator said, "Cutting the number of network suppliers from three to two would damage the industry and economic growth. Barring Huawei will delay 5G in Europe by probably two years－it will structurally disadvantage Europe."
Huawei has been steadily increasing its 5G contracts. It has secured over 30 5G contracts in overseas markets and has signed cooperation deals with more than 50 partners.
