11、Singing revolutionary songs, reciting martyrs’（烈士） stories, putting on performances that eulogize (颂扬） Chairman Mao Zedong, such are the daily scenes of more than 200 Red Army primary schools across China. On campus, students wear Red Army uniforms, including octagonal (八角形的) caps and red scarves. In class they sing songs from the old revolutionary years，discuss the history of the CPC and learn the history of local soldiers. Red Army primary schools, which were started in 2007, are schools named after influential figures of past revolutionary periods, such as Mao Zedong Red Army Primary School and Deng Xiaoping Red Army Primary School, or significant events or sites such as Xibaipo Red Army Primary School. Red Army schools aim to carry on the revolutionary genes while improving educational conditions for children in China’s impoverished areas that used to be revolutionary bases, mainly through funds from the project council and financial support from local governments. Red Army primary schools have been expanding across the nation over the past decade, following the footprints of China’s Red Army, covering revolutionary bases in 29 provinces. As the scale of the project continues to expand, donations to the schools have also expanded from the initiators (发起者），who were mostly revolutionaries or soldiers and their relatives, to cover all of society. “Calling them Red Army ’ opened a channel for donations from all people in our society，”said Feng Haibo, vice principal at Bayi Red Army Primary School in Xibaipo, Hebei Province，where three primary schools are named“Red Army”. 1.

12、A new library in Tianjin—Tianjin Binhai Public Library—recently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as the “world’s ultimate (终极的) library”, while the word “breathtaking” was the choice of Newsweek magazine. One look at the library and you’ll see why. With its futuristic (未来主义) design and walls loaded with books, it’s the dream library of every book lover.
But as the surprise 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 safe from the wave of digitalization (数码化)? And do we really still need libraries now that 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 on the Guardian website.
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 website Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know-how to search the Internet correctly and efficiently, it’s public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.
“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, wrote on the Newsroom website. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”
1.What cause book-lovers to like Tianjin Binhai Public Library?
A.Breathtaking magazines.
B.World’s ultimate buildings.
C.Digitalization.
D.Design and book walls.
2.Where does the text most probably come from?
A.A fiction. B.A tour guide. C.A newspaper D.A book.
3.Why are physical libraries necessary to exist?
A.Everyone has a phone with them.
B.Some people are still used to the old ways.
C.More and more people use computers.
D.People can buy what they want there.
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Libraries living on in digital age.
B.internet libraries nowadays.
C.Physical libraries in the past.
D.People’s dream libraries.
13、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her. ①________ I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn’t see.
②________ Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart phones. These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter’s smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as “the cloud”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.
③________ Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.
Don’t let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on.④________
Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place.⑤________ But when it can’t, turn it off.
A. That was a long time ago.
B. Connect offline well as online.
C. Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.
D. We should communicate with each other with phones off.
E. When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.
F. However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.
G. When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.

12、 Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life – wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.
In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations(文明), rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
1.What do we know about Liu Cixin?
A.He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B.He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
C.He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
D.He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
2.Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.
A.his interest in mysteries of the universe
B.his love of reading science fiction
C.his confusion when he started writing
D.his feeling after reading Clarke’s work
3.What’s the text mainly about?
A.Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.
B.Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.
C.How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.
D.How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.
13、Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities, where people are able to make full use of the rapidly-developed Internet technology. Nowadays, it is hard for us to find a young person ① has not experienced online shopping.
Online shopping ② ( welcome ) by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save some time for people who don’t have much spare time. Just click the mouse or the cell phone, and they can get whatever they want ③ (quick ) while staying at home. For the retailers (零售商) , it can cut some costs for those who don’t have a lot of funds. ④ ( compare ) with the traditional trade mode, they don’t have to spend money in renting a house. ⑤ ，there are still some disadvantages in online shopping. First, a face-to-face deal makes online shopping less ⑥ ( rely ) and trustworthy. Second, people will lose ⑦ fun of bargaining.
⑧ is undeniable（不可否认的）that shopping on the Internet has become a trend in modern society. It’s of great urgency that we need to make relative laws to meet the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and ⑨ ( convenient ) of online shopping without the concern of ⑩ ( cheat) .

2、 Big data of the human face can make a difference. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. Apple's iPhone X has already used face recognition to unlock the home screen. Face recognition is becoming increasingly common in China, where it has been equipped at ATM and KFC restaurants. It is also used by shop owners to catch shoplifters.
Some universities are using face recognition technology as a means to keep track of the students' attendance in the classrooms. Students stand in front of a screen when they walk into lecture halls. Photos taken at the screen are matched with those logged in the university's database. It's believed that the system is highly accurate(精确的) because it can identify students even if they change their hair or wear makeup. Students have joked that face recognition is so strict that they don't dare to skip classes anymore. The traditional way of taking attendance is through a roll call. The new system helps to improve efficiency
(效率).
Face recognition technology has already been used in different fields in China. Police have set up face recognition scanners at busy crossroads to catch jaywalkers, whose photos will be shown on the digital screen as a warning. In the hotels of Wuzhen attractions, face scanner-equipped gates identify tourists staying in its hotels. The data collected will then serve as Entry Pass through the town's various attractions. Tourists do not have to pay extra entrance fee. Face recognition has also been in business use in China Alipay, for example, is using its face recognition technology to help customers at a Hangzhou KFC branch order food: The camera in the KFC will check customers' face against the ID card photos linked to their Alipay accounts.
Face recognition is expected to be used in all sorts of fields. It is going to become part of your life if it isn't already.

3、A caring entrepreneur (企业家）from Chengdu in southwest China’s Sichuan Province has opened a cafe which also provides skills training to people with mental impairments (损伤）. After taking lessons at Zhang Yuan’s shop，trainees will be employed as regular staff.
Before starting her business, Zhang was a wine taster and had worked as a volunteer at a local special education school for four years.
Gradually,she realised that care at the school, which was only for under-eights, was not enough to help children long-term.
“How will these special children survive in society when they lose the shelter of their parents and teachers some day?” Zhang wondered.
At that time, there were already public welfare organisations in other countries which trained people with physical and mental impairments in occupational techniques such as making coffee and cakes.
Inspired,the 26-year-old girl wanted to found a social organisation to provide training and employment for such groups.
Zhang quit her job and got to local disabled persons’ federation with her idea of running a charity caf6
called Second Life.
Under the strong support from the federation, she opened her business in 2015. Soon,over 30 mentally disabled people came to learn baking and skills in making drinks and jam.
Three months later, the caf6 opened to the public. In addition to being trained with the skills needed to find a stable job, trainees can also receive part of the cafe’s profit as their salary.
Zhang said the name Second Life represents how people with impairments can gain a normal life through work.

4、Chances You Will Not Regret Taking in Life

You’ve got to give yourself a fair chance. So here are some chances you will not regret taking in life.
Trust your intuition （直觉） on new opportunities. Life is too short to wait. Every new day is another chance to change your life. ② Trust that little voice inside your head that says, “ What if…” and then do it bravely once you decide.
③ You have everything you need within you to become the best possible version of yourself. Believe that you can. Believe that you’ve capable of pushing harder and farther than you have before. Believe that you’ve young enough, old enough and strong enough to achieve your goals. Don’t let false belief stop you from moving beyond yourself. And certainly don’t get disturbed by other people who are not on track.
Make moves in the face of fear. It’s often difficult to grow into your greatest self, but it9s a tragedy to let the lie of fear stop you. ④ Go after your goals. Never let your fear decide your future.
Smile anyway. Don’t let one bad moment ruin your day. ⑤ Stress begins when your worry list is longer than your gratitude list.
