A
Four
Best
Cities
to
Visit
in
Winter
Cold
rains,
icy
sidewalks
and
gray
skies
can
make
winter
travel
a
trial.
But
here
are
four
cities
around
the
world
that
make
for
a
great
cold-weather
destination:
Prague,
Czech
Republic
With
its
snow-capped
spires
and
winding
streets,
Prague
is
a
fairytale
city
that
remains
relatively
tourist-free
in
winter.
The
amazing
architecture
looks
even
prettier
under
a
sheet
of
snow,
with
one
of
the
most
beautiful
areas
being
the
old
town,
with
its
Romanesque
vaults.
Gas
street
lamps
have
been
placed
throughout
the
city
center,
adding
a
romantic
color
to
evenings.
Cafes
here
are
ideal
for
escaping
the
bitter
cold.
Salzburg,
Austria
With
its
Christmas
songs
and
traditional
markets,
this
is
a
perfect
city
for
a
winter
break.
“Silent
Night”
was
performed
for
the
first
time
in
the
church
of
Oberndorf
on
the
border
of
Salzburg
on
Christmas
Eve
in
1818.
The
city's
main
market
is
held
in
the
shadow
of
Salzburg's
Hohensalzburg
Castle,
but
the
one
held
in
Mirabell
Square
is
especially
popular
with
food
lovers
who
come
to
taste
local
food
such
as
halusky—pieces
of
dumpling
mixed
with
fried
bacon.
Tromso,
Norway
Tromso
is
widely
regarded
as
Norway's
most
beautiful
city
and
is
a
base
for
spoiling
the
northern
lights.
There
are
several
attractive
museums,
including
the
Polar
Museum,
which
offers
an
insight
into
the
history
of
Arctic
expeditions,
and
the
Tromso
Museum,
which
is
famous
for
its
Sami
exhibitions.
Amsterdam,
Netherlands
In
winter,
Amsterdam'
s
museums
are
much
less
crowded,
making
it
the
time
to
visit
attractions
such
as
Rijksmuseum
or
the
Anne
Frank
House.
Built
originally
to
house
a
circus,
the
Royal
Carre
Theater
is
more
than
130
years
old.
Children
will
love
the
spectacular
performances.

Firefighters
in
Florida
this
week
helped
rescue
a
bald
eagle
with
a
fishing
hook
stuck
in
its
beak
（嘴）and
the
attached
line
wrapped
around
its
wing
and
beak.
Firefighters
at
Pasco
County
Fire
Rescue
Station
21
on
Thursday
were
greeted
by
two
children
holding
the
injured
bald
eagle
and
seeking
help,
according
to
the
station’s
Facebook
page.
The
firefighters
called
Owl’s
Nest
Sanctuary
（保护区）for
Wildlife
in
Odessa
for
assistance
and
a
volunteer
came
out
to
help.
"It
appears
that
the
eagle
was
wrapped
in
the
line
for
about
two
days,
was
underweight,
and
thirsty,”
the
post
said.
Florida
has
one
of
the
densest
concentrations
of
nesting
bald
eagles
in
the
lower
48
states
with
an
estimated
1
,500
nesting
pairs
according
to
the
Florida
Fish
and
Wildlife
Conservation
Commission.
Pasco
County
is
located
in
the
state's
west
central
coast
north
of
Tampa.
After
the
eagle
was
examined,
it
was
placed
in
a
container
and
taken
to
the
sanctuary
for
treatment
where
Kris
Potter,
the
sanctuary's
director,
successfully
removed
the
hook.
The
sanctuary
posted
on
its
Facebook
page
that
the
eagle
is
making
up
for
lost
time
when
it
comes
to
food.
"He's
eating
all
his
meals
with
great
enthusiasm
and
doesn't
leave
a
crumb
（碎屑）
behind,“
the
post
said.
"In
the
meantime,
this
big
guy
is
resting
and
recovering
——he's
already
looking
so
much
better!”
After
the
eagle
is
considered
stable,
it
will
be
taken
to
Busch
Gardens
in
Tampa
for
further
treatment,
according
to
the
post.
“
Thankfully
the
eagle
appears
in
good
health
and
veterinarians
（兽医）believe
that
the
eagle
will
fully
recover,"
the
post
said.
When
the
eagle
is
cleared
for
return
to
the
wild,
it
will
be
released
in
the
area
around
Station
21
,
the
station
said
in
its
post.
“A
big
thank-you
to
everyone
who
helped
save
this
bald
eagle's
life!
We
are
thankful
for
this
happy
outcome!”
the
post
concluded.
The
sanctuary
used
the
story
to
remind
those
who
enjoy
fishing
to
properly
dispose
of
their
garbage.
4.
Who
initially
found
the
injured
bald
eagle?
A.
Firefighters.

At
Pasco
County
Fire
Rescue
Station
21.
B.
In
the
neighborhood
around
Station
21.
C.
In
the
sanctuary
in
Odessa.
D
In
Busch
Gardens
in
Tampa.
6.
Why

those
firefighters.
C.
To
appeal
to
people
to

bald
eagles.
D.
To
remind
fishing
lovers
to
deal
with
rubbish
properly.
7.
What
can
we
know
about
the
outcome
of
the
event?
A.
It's
unexpected.
B.
It's
beautiful.
C.
It's
humorous.
D.
It's
discouraging.
C
It
was
once
considered
an
important
status
symbol
---
but
having
a
home
phone
is
increasingly
seen
as
a
white
elephant.
New
figures
show
that
one
in
five
households
no
longer
bother
with
a
landline
（固定电话），and
almost
a
third
of
those
that
do
never
actually
use
it.
The
vast
majority
of
people
who
still
have
a
home
phone
——72
percent
——say
they
only
have
it
because
it
is
part
of
their
broadband
package.
But
that's
not
the
only
reason
to
desert
the
home
phone
-
20
percent
of
those
surveyed
said
that
they
were
fed
up
with
the
number
of
cold
calls
and
would-be
scammers
（诈骗者）.
Digital
media
expert
Dr.
Elinor
Carmi
said
there
was
a
generational
and
social
divide
in
phone
use.
She
explained：
"If
you
,
re
young
and
have
the
mobility
to
go
outside,
you
would
rely
on
a
mobile
phone.
But
if
you
are
older,
disabled
and
perhaps
poorer,
our
research
shows
you're
more
likely
to
use
a
landline.
If
you
are
richer,
you
will
have
access
to
more
smart
devices
---
a
smart
TV,
smartphone
or
laptop.
But
the
poorer
you
are
---
or
if
you
are
older,
your
use
of
these
devices
is
more
limited.”
Last
year,
research
from
regulator
Ofcom
found
that
the
amount
of
time
spent
on
landline
calls
annually
in
the
UK
had
halved
over
just
six
years,
to
54
billion
minutes.
The
new
study
also
showed
that
more
than
a
quarter
of
households
have
decided
to
find
a
broadband
provider
that
does
not
charge
for
their
unused
landline,
but
only
six
percent
have
done
so.
8.
The
underlined
part
“
a
white
elephant"
in
Paragraph
1
probably
refers
to
something
that
is
A.
costly
but
effective
B.
useful
and
beautiful
C.
expensive
but
useless
D.
cheap
and
necessary
9.
What's
the
main
reason
why
some
people
still
have
a
home
phone?
A.
Their
broadband
package
contains
it.
B.
Their
family
can
only
afford
to
use
it.
C.
They
are
used
to
using
a
home
phone.
D.
They
consider
it
an
important
status
symbol.
10.
Which
of
the
following
is
more
likely
to
use
a
landline?
A.
A
young
adventurer.
B.
An
old
poor
gardener.
C.
An
outdoor
photographer.
D.
A
famous
indoor
designer.
11.
What's
the
best
title
of
the
text?
A.
End
of
the
landline?
B.
Fed
up
with
cold
calls?
C.
The
history
of
phones
D.
Different
choices
of
phones
D
Smart
speakers
have
proven
to
be
handy
devices
in
hospitals,
allowing
patients
to
control
independently
.
And
now,
researchers
from
the
University
of
Washington
have
developed
an
artificial
intelligence
system
that
enables
these
devices
to
monitor
heartbeats.
Using
technology
to
remotely
monitor
heart
rates
isn't
new.
These
days
most
smartwatches
and
fitness
trackers
are
capable
of
it.
The
good
thing
here
is
that
researchers
have
figured
out
a
way
to
use
the
microphones
in
smart
speakers
to
do
it
without
requiring
physical
contact.
In
a
study
published
in
Communications
Biology,
the
researchers
had
the
smart
speakers
send
out
signals
that
couldn't
be
heard
which
were
then
reflected
off
a
person's
body.
They
then
analyzed
these
signals
to
identify
small
chest
wall
motions
related
to
heartbeats,
as
well
as
separate
those
signals
from
surrounding
noise
and
breathing.
For
this
particular
proof
—
of
—
concept
setup,
the
researchers
tested
this
smart
speaker
on
26
healthy
participants
and
24
hospitalized
patients
with
various
heart
conditions,
including
atrial
fibrillation
（心
房颤动）and
heart
failure.
In
both
cases,
the
smart
speaker
was
within
28
-
30
milliseconds
of
an
ECG
（心电图）,the
gold
standard
used
in
hospitals
to
discover
arrhythmia
（心律不齐）.
Like
smartwatches
with
advanced
heart
features,
using
smart
speakers
in
this
way
opens
up
the
possibility
for
passive,
remote
heart
monitoring.
ECGs,
while
highly
accurate,
require
a
visit
to
the
doctor
and
several
electrodes
（电极）to
be
placed
on
the
body.
They,
re
not
capable
of
continuous
monitoring
so
you're
limited
to
what
it
picks
up
at
that
exact
moment
in
time
——one
reason
why
heart
arrhythmia
can
be
so
hard
to
discover.
Smartwatches
are
capable
of
passive,
remote,
continuous
monitoring,
but
they
require
you
to
wear
the
device
at
all
times
to
be
effective.
It's
not
something
that's
comfortable
for
everyone,
especially
when
it
comes
to
sleep
and
for
those
with
highly
sensitive
skin.
Another
issue
is
that
these
advanced
smartwatches
are
expensive,
while
smart
speakers
are
much
cheaper.
“If
you
have
a
device
like
this,
you
can
monitor
a
patient
on
an
extended
basis
and
then
develop
corresponding
care
plans
that
satisfy
the
patient'
s
needs,“
said
Dr.
Arun
Sridhar,
co
—
senior
author
on
the
study.
"And
the
beauty
of
using
this
kind
of
devices
is
that
they
are
already
in
people's
homes.”
12.
What
does
the
author
focus
on
in
Paragraph
3?
A.
How
the
smart
speaker
works.
B.
Why
the
smart
speaker
is
useful.
C.
The
advantages
of
smart
speakers.
D.
The
importance
of
the
study.
13
Why
is
heart
arrhythmia
difficult
to
find?
A.
ECGs
are
not
highly
accurate.
B.
ECGs
can't
monitor
continuously.
C.
Doctors
know
little
about
heart
arrhythmia.
D.
An
ECG
test
is
hard
to
operate
and
expensive.
14.
Which
statement
best
explains
the
characteristics
of
smartwatches?
A.
They
are
comfortable
to
wear.
B.
They
are
friendly
to
sensitive
skin.
C.
They
are
effective
and
cheap.
D.
They
are
able
to
monitor
remotely.
15.
What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
paragraph?
A.
We
need
to
invent
more
smart
devices.
B.
Care
plans
are
vital
to
patients
with
heart
failure.
C.
Smart
speakers
could
be
contactless
heart
monitors.
D.
Different
devices
are
needed
to

While
most
of
us
are
familiar
with
the
fun
and
excitement
of
taking
a
vacation
with
family
or
friends,
far
fewer
people
have
set
out
on
a
holiday
by
themselves.
There
are
plenty
of
benefits
to
plan
a
solo(单独的)
travel
as
your
next
getaway.
___16___
We've
got
a
whole
list
of
reasons
why
you
should
consider
travelling
alone.
?
You'
re
in
charge
of
the
itinerary(行程)
Did
you
ever
have
the
unfortunate
experience
of
being
dragged
to
a
crowded
tourist
trap
with
your
family
or
miss
out
on
a
one-of-a-kind
destination
because
none
of
your
friends
were
interested?
That
all
goes
out
the
window
when
you're
in
complete
control
of
the
itinerary.
___17___
Travelling
solo
provides
the
perfect
opportunity
to
visit
the
sequestered(隐蔽的)
sites
you've
had
marked
on
a
map
for
years.
?
Plenty
of
chances
to
meet
new
people
When
visiting
a
new
place
alone,
you
really
have
no
choice
but
to
communicate
with
new
people.
___18___
Locals
not
only
have
insider
information
that
you
won't
find
in
a
guidebook,
but
speaking
with
someone
native
to
the
country
is
a
great
way
to
learn
about
their
culture.
?
Expand
your
comfort
zone
___19___
Between
practicing
your
real-world
conversation
skills
in
a
foreign
language
and
trying
unfamiliar
food
travelling
alone
forces
you
to
face
a
variety
of
new
situations.
When
you
only
have
yourself
to
rely
on,
you
have
a
real
opportunity
to
learn
what
you're
capable
of.
?
A
chance
to
stop
and
reflect
Whether
you
plan
on
getting
close
to
nature
or
just
spending
an
afternoon
daydreaming
at
a
sidewalk
cafe,
travelling
alone
offers
a
unique
chance
to
pause
and
see
things
from
a
new
view.
Add
in
the
experience
of
a
new
culture
and
the
chance
to
interact
with
people
of
different
backgrounds.
___20___
A.
Not
convinced
yet?
B.
Everyone
has
unique
interests.
C.
Step
out
of
your
comfort
zone
and
achieve
your
goal.
D.
Gelling
outside
of
your
comfortable
box
is
tough
at
first.
E.
Spending
time
alone
in
a
new
place
forces
you
to
try
new
things.
F.
And
you'll
come
back
from
a
solo
vacation
with
a
new
outlook
on
life.
G.
It
might
seem
frightening,
but
talking
to
local
people
has
many
benefits.

These
surfers
have
been
recognized
as
heroes
after
they
came
to
the
rescue
of
two
drowning
swimmers
last
month.
Adrian
York
and
his
friends
had
already
been
____21____
some
waves
at
Trinidad
State
Beach
for
several
hours
when
they
decided
to
take
a
break.
As
they
were
resting
in
the
____22____
waters,
however,
they
began
hearing
cries
for
____23____
Since
it
had
been
a
particularly
____24____
evening,
the
15-
and
16-year-old
boys
had
to
look
through
the
mist
to
locate
the
source
of
the
yelling.
They
then
____25____
two
swimmers
who
were
____26____
in
the
ocean
with
their
____27____
barely
held
above
water
100
feet
away.
The
surfers
---
two
of
whom
had
been
through
____28____
training
-
knew
that
the
swimmers
did
not
have
a
long
time
before
they
fell
____29____
to
hypothermia
（体温过低）,so
they
____30____
jumped
into
action.
While
York
quickly
headed
back
to
____31____
to
call
911,
the
other
three
swam
quickly
to
the
swimmers
and
helped
them
onto
their
boards.
The
____32____
said
that
the
swimmers
were
two
brothers
who
had
not
been
wearing
the
appropriate
swimwear
for
such
cold
waters.
They
had
been
playing
in
the
surf
when
they
were
suddenly
____33____
by
a
strong
wave
--
and
since
the
beach
had
been
so
foggy,
the
brothers,
parents
had
not
been
able
to
spot
them
in
the
mist.
Though
it
had
been
difficult
to
calm
the
____34____
brothers
and
get
them
onto
the
surfboards
--
particularly

Jackson
did
not
feel
good
so
he
stayed
home
from
school
today.
He
did
not
like
to
be
sick.
It
was
no
fun
at
all.
He
got
out
of
his
bed
and
walked
into
his
brother's
bedroom.
Carter
loved
cars.
He
had
them
all
over
his
room.
One
sat
on
his
desk
in
many
pieces.
Carter
loved
putting
model
cars
together.
Jackson
touched
one
of
the
black
tires.
He
hoped
Carter
was
home.
Carter
liked
to
talk
about
the
model
cars
as
he
was
putting
them
together.
Jackson
left
Carter's
room
and
walked
down
the
hall
to
the
room
his
twin
sisters
shared.
Ella
liked
wearing
pretty
clothes
and
Madison
liked
riding
her
horse.
Ella's
side
of
the
room
was
nice
and
neat.
Madison's
side
was
a
mess.
Ella
decorated
the
wall
behind
her
bed
with
pictures
of
girls
in
fancy
clothes.
A
big
poster
of
a
horse
was
on
the
wall
behind
Madison,
s
bed.
Jackson
turned
and
walked
back
out
of
the
room,
tripping
over
Madison,
s
cowboy
boots
as
he
did.
He
didn't
fall
down,
but
it
was
close.
As
he
stood
there,
trying
to
remember
what
it
was
called,
he
realized
all
of
his
brother's
and
sisters'
rooms
looked
like
the
things
they
loved.
Carter
had
cars
in
his
room;
Ella
loved
fashion
and
Madison
horses.
Jackson
wondered
what
his
room
said
about
him.
He
walked
back
down
the
hall
and
stood
in
the
doorway
of
his
room.
His
bed
was
a
mess.
But
he
just
got
out
of
it,
so
that
was
normal.
There
was
a
racetrack
on
his
floor,
a
barn
he
made
out
of
toy
logs,
a
plastic
hat
that
was
part
of
a
magic
trick
set
he
got
for
his
birthday,
and
a
couple
of
plastic
dinosaurs
lying
on
their
sides.
His
walls
were
bare.
He
felt
a
little
down.

A
Four
Best
Cities
to
Visit
in
Winter
Cold
rains,
icy
sidewalks
and
gray
skies
can
make
winter
travel
a
trial.
But
here
are
four
cities
around
the
world
that
make
for
a
great
cold-weather
destination:
Prague,
Czech
Republic
With
its
snow-capped
spires
and
winding
streets,
Prague
is
a
fairytale
city
that
remains
relatively
tourist-free
in
winter.
The
amazing
architecture
looks
even
prettier
under
a
sheet
of
snow,
with
one
of
the
most
beautiful
areas
being
the
old
town,
with
its
Romanesque
vaults.
Gas
street
lamps
have
been
placed
throughout
the
city
center,
adding
a
romantic
color
to
evenings.
Cafes
here
are
ideal
for
escaping
the
bitter
cold.
Salzburg,
Austria
With
its
Christmas
songs
and
traditional
markets,
this
is
a
perfect
city
for
a
winter
break.
“Silent
Night”
was
performed
for
the
first
time
in
the
church
of
Oberndorf
on
the
border
of
Salzburg
on
Christmas
Eve
in
1818.
The
city's
main
market
is
held
in
the
shadow
of
Salzburg's
Hohensalzburg
Castle,
but
the
one
held
in
Mirabell
Square
is
especially
popular
with
food
lovers
who
come
to
taste
local
food
such
as
halusky—pieces
of
dumpling
mixed
with
fried
bacon.
Tromso,
Norway
Tromso
is
widely
regarded
as
Norway's
most
beautiful
city
and
is
a
base
for
spoiling
the
northern
lights.
There
are
several
attractive
museums,
including
the
Polar
Museum,
which
offers
an
insight
into
the
history
of
Arctic
expeditions,
and
the
Tromso
Museum,
which
is
famous
for
its
Sami
exhibitions.
Amsterdam,
Netherlands
In
winter,
Amsterdam'
s
museums
are
much
less
crowded,
making
it
the
time
to
visit
attractions
such
as
Rijksmuseum
or
the
Anne
Frank
House.
Built
originally
to
house
a
circus,
the
Royal
Carre
Theater
is
more
than
130
years
old.
Children
will
love
the
spectacular
performances.
1.

can
you
do
in
Prague?

the
fascinating
architecture.
B.
Taste
local
food
halusky.

a
circus

Firefighters
in
Florida
this
week
helped
rescue
a
bald
eagle
with
a
fishing
hook
stuck
in
its
beak
（嘴）and
the
attached
line
wrapped
around
its
wing
and
beak.
Firefighters
at
Pasco
County
Fire
Rescue
Station
21
on
Thursday
were
greeted
by
two
children
holding
the
injured
bald
eagle
and
seeking
help,
according
to
the
station’s
Facebook
page.
The
firefighters
called
Owl’s
Nest
Sanctuary
（保护区）for
Wildlife
in
Odessa
for
assistance
and
a
volunteer
came
out
to
help.
"It
appears
that
the
eagle
was
wrapped
in
the
line
for
about
two
days,
was
underweight,
and
thirsty,”
the
post
said.
Florida
has
one
of
the
densest
concentrations
of
nesting
bald
eagles
in
the
lower
48
states
with
an
estimated
1
,500
nesting
pairs
according
to
the
Florida
Fish
and
Wildlife
Conservation
Commission.
Pasco
County
is
located
in
the
state's
west
central
coast
north
of
Tampa.
After
the
eagle
was
examined,
it
was
placed
in
a
container
and
taken
to
the
sanctuary
for
treatment
where
Kris
Potter,
the
sanctuary's
director,
successfully
removed
the
hook.
The
sanctuary
posted
on
its
Facebook
page
that
the
eagle
is
making
up
for
lost
time
when
it
comes
to
food.
"He's
eating
all
his
meals
with
great
enthusiasm
and
doesn't
leave
a
crumb
（碎屑）
behind,“
the
post
said.
"In
the
meantime,
this
big
guy
is
resting
and
recovering
——he's
already
looking
so
much
better!”
After
the
eagle
is
considered
stable,
it
will
be
taken
to
Busch
Gardens
in
Tampa
for
further
treatment,
according
to
the
post.
“
Thankfully
the
eagle
appears
in
good
health
and
veterinarians
（兽医）believe
that
the
eagle
will
fully
recover,"
the
post
said.
When
the
eagle
is
cleared
for
return
to
the
wild,
it
will
be
released
in
the
area
around
Station
21
,
the
station
said
in
its
post.
“A
big
thank-you
to
everyone
who
helped
save
this
bald
eagle's
life!
We
are
thankful
for
this
happy
outcome!”
the
post
concluded.
The
sanctuary
used
the
story
to
remind
those
who
enjoy
fishing
to
properly
dispose
of
their
garbage.
4.
Who
initially
found
the
injured
bald
eagle?
A.
Firefighters.
B.

The
sanctuary's
founder.
D.

be
set
free?

At
Pasco
County
Fire
Rescue
Station
21.
B.
In
the
neighborhood
around
Station
21.
C.
In
the
sanctuary
in
Odessa.
D.
In
Busch
Gardens
in
Tampa.
6.

those
firefighters.
C.
To
appeal
to
people
to

outcome
of
the
event?
A.

D
7.
B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一只受伤的白头鹰被鱼线缠住，被两名儿童和一些佛罗里达州的消防队员挽救的经过。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“
Firefighters
at
Pasco
County
Fire
Rescue
Station
21
on
Thursday
were
greeted
by
two
children
holding
the
injured
bald
eagle
and
seeking
help,
according
to
the
station’s
Facebook
page.”(帕斯科县第21号消防队的脸书页面显示，周四，两个孩子抱着受伤的秃鹰向消防员求救。)由此可知，最初是两个孩子发现了受伤的秃鹰。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“When
the
eagle
is
cleared
for
return
to
the
wild,
it
will
be
released
in
the
area
around
Station
21
,
the
station
said
in
its
post.”(该车站在帖子中称，当这只鹰被被解除绳索缠绕和鱼钩准备放归野外时，将在21号消防站周围的区域被放生。)可知，这只鹰会在21号站周围地区被放生。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“
The
sanctuary
used
the
story
to
remind
those
who
enjoy
fishing
to
properly
dispose
of
their
garbage.”（鸟兽保护区用这个故事来提醒那些喜欢钓鱼的人妥善处理他们的垃圾。）可知，鸟兽保护区要发布这个故事的原因是提醒钓鱼爱好者妥善处理垃圾。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第2题的分析可知，白头鹰恢复很快，未来会被放归到大自然。根据最后一段的“A
big
thank-you
to
everyone
who
helped
save
this
bald
eagle’s
life!
We
are
thankful
for
this
happy
outcome!”
the
post
concluded.
”（帖子中最后说到非常感谢所有帮助拯救这只白头鹰生命的人！我们对这个愉快的结果表示感谢！）由此可知，事情的结果是美好的。故选B。
C
It
was
once
considered
an
important
status
symbol
---
but
having
a
home
phone
is
increasingly
seen
as
a
white
elephant.
New
figures
show
that
one
in
five
households
no
longer
bother
with
a
landline
（固定电话），and
almost
a
third
of
those
that
do
never
actually
use
it.
The
vast
majority
of
people
who
still
have
a
home
phone
——72
percent
——say
they
only
have
it
because
it
is
part
of
their
broadband
package
But
that's
not
the
only
reason
to
desert
the
home
phone
-
20
percent
of
those
surveyed
said
that
they
were
fed
up
with
the
number
of
cold
calls
and
would-be
scammers
（诈骗者）.
Digital
media
expert
Dr.
Elinor
Carmi
said
there
was
a
generational
and
social
divide
in
phone
use.
She
explained：
"If
you
,
re
young
and
have
the
mobility
to
go
outside,
you
would
rely
on
a
mobile
phone.
But
if
you
are
older,
disabled
and
perhaps
poorer,
our
research
shows
you're
more
likely
to
use
a
landline.
If
you
are
richer,
you
will
have
access
to
more
smart
devices
---
a
smart
TV,
smartphone
or
laptop.
But
the
poorer
you
are
---
or
if
you
are
older,
your
use
of
these
devices
is
more
limited.”
Last
year,
research
from
regulator
Ofcom
found
that
the
amount
of
time
spent
on
landline
calls
annually
in
the
UK
had
halved
over
just
six
years,
to
54
billion
minutes.
The
new
study
also
showed
that
more
than
a
quarter
of
households
have
decided
to
find
a
broadband
provider
that
does
not
charge
for
their
unused
landline,
but
only
six
percent
have
done
so.
8.
The
underlined
part
“
a
white
elephant"
in
Paragraph
1
probably
refers
to
something
that
is
A.
costly
but
effective
B.
useful
and
beautiful
C.
expensive
but
useless
D.
cheap
and
necessary
9.
What's
the
main
reason
why
some
people
still
have
a
home
phone?
A.
Their
broadband
package
contains
it.
B.
Their
family
can
only
afford
to
use
it.
C.
They
are
used
to
using
a
home
phone.
D.
They
consider
it
an
important
status
symbol.
10.
Which
of
the
following
is
more
likely
to
use
a
landline?
A.
A
young
adventurer.
B.
An
old
poor
gardener.
C.
An
outdoor
photographer.
D.
A
famous
indoor
designer.
11.
What's
the
best
title
of
the
text?
A.

of
the
landline?
B.

that
one
in
five
households
no
longer
bother
with
a
landline,
and
almost
a
third
of
those
that
do
never
actually
use
it.”(新的数据显示，五分之一的家庭不再使用固定电话，几乎三分之一的家庭从未真正使用过它。)可知，现在固定电话对很多家庭来说是无用的，所以a
white
elephant是指“昂贵但无用的东西”。故选C。

six
years,
to
54
billion
minutes.”(去年，英国通信管理局的研究发现，英国每年的固定电话通话时间在短短6年时间里减少了一半，只有540亿分钟。)可知，文章主要是讲固定电话或许面临终结。故选A。
D
Smart
speakers
have
proven
to
be
handy
devices
in
hospitals,
allowing
patients
to
control
independently
.
And
now,
researchers
from
the
University
of
Washington
have
developed
an
artificial
intelligence
system
that
enables
these
devices
to
monitor
heartbeats.
Using
technology
to
remotely
monitor
heart
rates
isn't
new.
These
days
most
smartwatches
and
fitness
trackers
are
capable
of
it.
The
good
thing
here
is
that
researchers
have
figured
out
a
way
to
use
the
microphones
in
smart
speakers
to
do
it
without
requiring
physical
contact.
In
a
study
published
in
Communications
Biology,
the
researchers
had
the
smart
speakers
send
out
signals
that
couldn't
be
heard
which
were
then
reflected
off
a
person's
body.
They
then
analyzed
these
signals
to
identify
small
chest
wall
motions
related
to
heartbeats,
as
well
as
separate
those
signals
from
surrounding
noise
and
breathing.
For
this
particular
proof
—
of
—
concept
setup,
the
researchers
tested
this
smart
speaker
on
26
healthy
participants
and
24
hospitalized
patients
with
various
heart
conditions,
including
atrial
fibrillation
（心
房颤动）and
heart
failure.
In
both
cases,
the
smart
speaker
was
within
28
-
30
milliseconds
of
an
ECG
（心电图）,the
gold
standard
used
in
hospitals
to
discover
arrhythmia
（心律不齐）.
Like
smartwatches
with
advanced
heart
features,
using
smart
speakers
in
this
way
opens
up
the
possibility
for
passive,
remote
heart
monitoring.
ECGs,
while
highly
accurate,
require
a
visit
to
the
doctor
and
several
electrodes
（电极）to
be
placed
on
the
body.
They,
re
not
capable
of
continuous
monitoring
so
you're
limited
to
what
it
picks
up
at
that
exact
moment
in
time
——one
reason
why
heart
arrhythmia
can
be
so
hard
to
discover.
Smartwatches
are
capable
of
passive,
remote,
continuous
monitoring,
but
they
require
you
to
wear
the
device
at
all
times
to
be
effective.
It's
not
something
that's
comfortable
for
everyone,
especially
when
it
comes
to
sleep
and
for
those
with
highly
sensitive
skin.
Another
issue
is
that
these
advanced
smartwatches
are
expensive,
while
smart
speakers
are
much
cheaper.
“If
you
have
a
device
like
this,
you
can
monitor
a
patient
on
an
extended
basis
and
then
develop
corresponding
care
plans
that
satisfy
the
patient'
s
needs,“
said
Dr.
Arun
Sridhar,
co
—
senior
author
on
the
study.
"And
the
beauty
of
using
this
kind
of
devices
is
that
they
are
already
in
people's
homes.”

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“In
a

published
in
Communications
Biology,
the
researchers
had
the
smart
speakers
send
out
signals
that
couldn't
be

to
identify
small
chest

as
well
as
separate
those

and
breathing.”(然后，他们分析这些信号，以识别与心跳相关的小胸壁运动，并将这些信号与周围的噪音和呼吸分开。)可知，第三段主要讲了智能扬声器发出信号，然后再分析由人的身体反射回来的信号来识别与心跳相关的小胸壁运动，并将这些信号与周围的噪音和呼吸分开，也就是主要讲了智能扬声器的工作原理。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“They're

【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一家商店向老年人出售游戏和小玩意，给他们带来乐趣。
【36题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：当公交车上的乘客可能会为你让座的时候，年纪大了确实有好处。修饰名词benefits应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：但有一件事通常与头发脱落或变白无关，那就是玩具。修饰形容词associated应用副词。副词normally意为“通常地，一般地”。故填normally。
【38题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：尽管中国现在有大约2.54亿60岁以上的老人，但直到最近，第一家针对这一人群的玩具店才开张。“China
now
has
about
254
million
people
aged
60
or
above”是对名词fact的解释说明，所以是同位语从句，从句中不缺少成分和意义，所以应用从属连词that引导。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：尽管中国现在有大约2.54亿60岁以上的老人，但直到最近，第一家针对这一人群的玩具店才开张。be
targeted
at意为“以……为目标”，为固定搭配，此处和谓语之间没有连词，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填targeted。
【40题详解】
考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意：这家店位于北京通州区的一个角落，名叫“老有所玩”老人玩具店。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。动词name意为“命名”，和主语shop构成被动关系。主语为第三人称单数。故填is
named。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：和往常一样，42岁的创始人宋德龙会在周五早上9点打开这家180平方米的店铺的大门。“42-year-old
Song
Delong”作同位语，所以此处应用名词founder表示“创始人”作主语。故填founder。
【42题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：一进门，就会看到右手边有两排绿色植物。动词enter意为“进入”，和谓语之间没有连词，和主语one构成主动关系，所以应用现在分词作状语。句首首字母应大写。故填Entering。
【43题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：宋说，按照打造典型中国传统书房的理念，宋先生在空间里布置了中国传统风格的木架，木架上摆放着400多种玩具，分为经典、怀旧、教育、运动四大类，除此之外还有数字类和新奇类等16个类别。此处第一次提及典型中国传统书房，所以是泛指，应用不定冠词。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：宋说，按照打造典型中国传统书房的理念，宋先生在空间里布置了中国传统风格的木架，木架上摆放着400多种玩具，分为经典、怀旧、教育、运动四大类，除此之外还有数字类和新奇类等16个类别。根据“furnishes
the
space”可知，此处是指用很多木架，所以应用名词复数。故填shelves。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：宋说，按照打造典型中国传统书房的理念，宋先生在空间里布置了中国传统风格的木架，木架上摆放着400多种玩具，分为经典、怀旧、教育、运动四大类，除此之外还有数字类和新奇类等16个类别。“divide...into...”意为“把……分成……”，为固定搭配，句中使用的是被动语态。所以此处应用介词into。故填into。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jackson
did
not
feel
good
so
he
stayed
home
from
school
today.
He
did
not
like
to
be
sick.
It
was
no
fun
at
all.
He
got
out
of
his
bed
and
walked
into
his
brother's
bedroom.
Carter
loved
cars.
He
had
them
all
over
his
room.
One
sat
on
his
desk
in
many
pieces.
Carter
loved
putting
model
cars
together.
Jackson
touched
one
of
the
black
tires.
He
hoped
Carter
was
home.
Carter
liked
to
talk
about
the
model
cars
as
he
was
putting
them
together.
Jackson
left
Carter's
room
and
walked
down
the
hall
to
the
room
his
twin
sisters
shared.
Ella
liked
wearing
pretty
clothes
and
Madison
liked
riding
her
horse.
Ella's
side
of
the
room
was
nice
and
neat.
Madison's
side
was
a
mess.
Ella
decorated
the
wall
behind
her
bed
with
pictures
of
girls
in
fancy
clothes.
A
big
poster
of
a
horse
was
on
the
wall
behind
Madison,
s
bed.
Jackson
turned
and
walked
back
out
of
the
room,
tripping
over
Madison,
s
cowboy
boots
as
he
did.
He
didn't
fall
down,
but
it
was
close.
As
he
stood
there,
trying
to
remember
what
it
was
called,
he
realized
all
of
his
brother's
and
sisters'
rooms
looked
like
the
things
they
loved.
Carter
had
cars
in
his
room;
Ella
loved
fashion
and
Madison
horses.
Jackson
wondered
what
his
room
said
about
him.
He
walked
back
down
the
hall
and
stood
in
the
doorway
of
his
room.
His
bed
was
a
mess.
But
he
just
got
out
of
it,
so
that
was
normal.
There
was
a
racetrack
on
his
floor,
a
barn
he
made
out
of
toy
logs,
a
plastic
hat
that
was
part
of
a
magic
trick
set
he
got
for
his
birthday,
and
a
couple
of
plastic
dinosaurs
lying
on
their
sides.
His
walls
were
bare.
He
felt
a
little
down.

“Are
you
feeling
better?”
his
mom
asked
as
she
walked
into
the
room.

Mom

“A

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para
1:
“Are
you
feeling
better?”
his
mom
asked
as
she
walked
into
the
room.
Jackson
replied,
“Maybe
a
little.
Why
doesn't
my
room
look
like
everyone
else's?”
“What
do
you
mean?”
Mom
asked.
“Well,
you
can
tell
what
they
like
just
by
looking
into
their
rooms.
Carter
loves
cars,
Ella
loves
clothes,
and
Madison
loves
horses.
But
when
you
look
into
my
room,
it's
just
a
mess.
It
looks
like
I
don't
like
anything.”
Para
2:
Mom
explained,
“A
person
doesn't
have
to
like
just
one
thing.
Some
people
do
have
one
interest,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
everyone
does.
Some
people,
like
you,
are
just
curious.
They
want
to
know
about
everything
and
do
everything.”
Mom
continued,
“Looking
around
your
room
tells
me
that
you
like
to
race
cars,
build
things,
do
magic,
and
you're
even
interested
in
dinosaurs.
Curiosity
is
part
of
human
nature.
Good
thinkers
are
excited
by
new
ideas
and
are
eager
to
explore
and
investigate
them.
You're
a
great
boy!
I'm
proud
of
you!”
“Really?
Thank
you,
Mom!”
Jackson
said
excitedly
as
a
big
smile
spread
across
his
face.
