What do you think of a “talking kitchen”？ A French Digital Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK. It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time. For the first time, students can learn a language by the following cooking steps.
All grammar and vocabulary have been carefully chosen to make sure the users can understand French well. After learning for some time ,the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer.
The kitchen project was started by Professor Paul Seedhouse. He became interested in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen. He said, “The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational. ”
How does the kitchen work? There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer, the users can first choose a French recipe that they want to follow. Using information in the computer, the kitchen starts to guide the users how to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer, it moves on to the next. If you go wrong, the program goes back and repeats the recipe or information. At any time, the users can also ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any information.
The new kitchen can be used in schools, universities and even people's homes. The researchers will also be developing the European Digital Kitchen for the next three years.
79. After reading the passage, we know the Digital Kitchen________.
A. is a “talking kitchen”
B. teaches students English
C. was developed in France
D. cooks all food for people
80. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that________.
A. how the kitchen works
B. where the kitchen can be used
C. when the kitchen can be bought
D. why the kitchen project was started
81. If the users don't follow the instructions on the computer, the kitchen________.
A. chooses another recipe
B. goes on to the next step
C. repeats the recipe or information
D. stops working at once
82. The passage is written to________.
A. show you how the computer works
B. introduce a French Digital Kitchen
C. teach you how to cook French food
D. tell you the importance of language learning
D
Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
83. According to the text, living in a “smart” city ________.
A. is not a green way B. will be far from you
C. will soon become true D. is completely impossible
84. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. A city of the future
B. A meeting in Songdo
C. A plan to build a house
D. A report on public health
85. Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?
A. Cisco. B. IBM.
C. Siemens. D. Microsoft.
86. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ________.
A. drive people out of cities
B. control the world's population
C. develop his own company
D. solve the cities' coming problems
87. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Future Education B. Smart Cities
C. Government Services D. Famous Companies

While you are at the bookstore, you may be faced with a difficult decision: e-books or paper books? Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Making the best decision depends on a number of factors(因素).
An e-reader can carry a whole library wherever you go, which is great for travelers or those who always want a choice of reading material. Although e-readers are convenient, high levels of screen brightness from an electronic device(电子设备) can cause eye problems. A study in the Information Science Research found that young people preferred e-readers, like smartphones or iPads. That's why most teenagers are short-sighted.
Many book lovers still prefer paper books and value the feeling of them. Paper books are very well designed, they look and smell good, and they carry with them a more human touch. Avid(热衷的) readers prefer reading on paper. Perhaps this is their choice because paper books give them a sense of ownership. It is reported that reading on paper rather than an electronic screen is better for memory and focus. But paper books are heavy and they are not convenient to carry.
Which is your decision, an e-book or a paper book?
88. How many kinds of books are mentioned in the passage？(不超过5个词)

When we got there, we found that some boys were climbing the trees; the ground and public walls were really dirty, which made us all so sad. So we began to do our jobs. Firstly, we picked up the rubbish and cleaned up the public walls together. After that, we planted some young trees in the park. All of us worked so hard.

Online Shopping
There are many new ways of shopping，and online shopping is one of them.
Online shopping has several advantages. First，you can shop at any time. Second，to shop on the Internet you only need a computer and a mouse. Third，you can compare the prices of the same product and save money. You can also receive what you buy anywhere in the world at any time!
But shopping on the Internet also has some disadvantages. Paying through the Internet isn't always safe. You can't see the product or try the clothes on.
I think our life is changing because of online shopping. Maybe one day no one will go to the shops，because you'll be able to buy almost anything on the Internet.
