Dear 17yearold self，
When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family. This sounds simple, and you may think it's a nobrainer, but take some time to think on it further.
I said INVEST.
I did not say GIVE.
Let me explain.
Purely giving material things to your siblings(兄弟姐妹) may appear to be the right decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, pay all of their bills. You want them to live a beautiful, comfortable life, right?
But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.
You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made YOU happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world—and that was extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting the__most__precious__gifts__of__all.
Invest in their future, don't just give.
Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now, and where you will eventually go.
I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning(斷絕) them off of the addiction that you facilitated. That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody involved, including yourself.
As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and heartache, some of which remains to this day
Much love，
( )58. What might be the best title of this letter?
A. To My Younger Self B. For My Dear Family
C. To My Beloved Son D. For My Older Self
( )59. What may be “the most precious gifts of all” in the underlined part?
A. Independence and growth. B. Wealth and health.
C. Love and dedication. D. Success and leadership.
( )60. What can we infer from this letter?
A. The writer will stop offering his siblings help in the future.
B. The writer didn't think it a good fortune to become successful early.
C. The writer intends to remind others not to care too much about materials.
D. The writer was once troubled by the relationship between him and his family.
C
Sam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon(獵鷹), Frightful.
Life, my friend Bando once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison(鹿肉) now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.
I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.
Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corn and squash(南瓜), bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.
I'm back where I started from.
Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the redtailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Carree.
Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines(游隼) at the university. “But it's the law，” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution(憲法) and laws of the United States when he took office.
I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.
I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.
When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins(鹿皮鞋) and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.
( )61. What does this excerpt(節(jié)選) main describe?
A. Delicate mental activities. B. Unique story environment.
C. Complicated character relationship. D. Everchanging story events.
( )62. What is Sam's first worry?
A. The shortest way to go back. B. Survival for Alice and himself.
C. The safety of Frightful. D. How to get enough venison.
( )63. What do we know about Frightful?
A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food. B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away.
C. He is living with the redtailed hawk happily. D. He is giving birth to babies in the university.
( )64. Which of the following can best describe Sam?
A. Humorous. B. Aggressive. C. Responsible. D. Unrealistic.
D
“It can't be done.” Boyan Slat heard this over and over when he first proposed a way to clean up millions of tons of plastic polluting our oceans. Almost anyone else would have given up in frustration and despair. But 20yearold Slat hasn't been discouraged but committed to his dream. “Human history is basically a list of things that couldn't be done, and then were done，” he says. Today, Slat and his team at The Ocean Cleanup are well on their way to proving the critics wrong. Good news for the planet.
1. ________________________
Slat, who grew up in the city of Delft in the Netherlands, was on a diving trip in Greece three years ago when he was deeply impressed by plastic. “There were more plastic bags than fish，” he says. “That was the moment I realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems my generation will face.”
That fall, Slat, then 17, decided to study plastic pollution as part of a high school project. Soon, Slat learned that no one had yet come up with practical way to clean up these massive garbage patches. Most proposed solutions involved “fishing” up the plastic using ships equipped with nets—which, as Slat discovered, would likely take more than 1，000 years, cost too much, let off too many greenhouse gases, and fish out too much sea life along with the trash.
Slat proposed an alternative that mostly avoided these problems—a solarpowered system using a floating plastic tube which will go around the garbage and trap it. It is 600 metres long. A big screen hangs down from it, about three metres into the water. Wind, waves and ocean currents will push the trash toward the tube.(Fish can swim under the screen.) A ship will pick up the trash and take it back to the shore to sort and recycle it into oil and other products. Best of all, Slat predicted his system could clean up the North Pacific Garbage Patch between California and Hawaii where a lot of floating garbage exists, within 5 to 10 years.
2. ________________________
The following fall, Slat entered the aerospace engineering programme at the Delft University of Technology and officially announced his ocean cleanup concept at TEDx Delft. But nothing much moved forward.
Slat found himself continually absentminded in classes, looking for ways to improve his concept. “It wouldn't let go. I finally decided to put both university and my social life on hold to focus all my time on developing this idea. I wasn't sure if it would succeed, but considering the scale of the problem I thought it was important to at least try，” He says.
With his family's blessing, Slat began in earnest organizing a team of volunteers and employees for The Ocean Cleanup, which now numbers about 100.
3. ________________________
In answer to opposition, Slat and his team raised $100，000 from a crowdfunding campaign and began testing a 40metre collecting barrier near the Azores Islands last March. In June, they released 500+ page possibility study.
Over the next three to four years, Slat will push toward a fully operational largescale project by testing a series of longer and longer barriers. He's currently seeking to crowdfund $2 million to finance it. Incidentally, The Ocean Cleanup is also working on a plan to stop plastic from washing into the oceans in the first place. “It's just the other problem that is equally important，” Slat says. “It's something everyone is able to help with, and we also have some technologies in the pipeline.”
As for school, Slat doesn't miss it—except maybe for the sociallife part, which he hopes to revive(恢復) a bit once his team takes on more of the workload. “I don't have time for things like that right now, but I really can't complain. I can't imagine doing something more fun than being able to have an idea and then actually making it into a reality，” he says.
( )65. What is the function of the first paragraph?

C. The background information of the story. D. Raising a problem for later solution.
( )66. Which of the following shows the correct order of the three missing subtitles?

A. One of his high school projects. B. Others' opposition to his proposal.

What is style? Style is the special visual paradigm centering on the visual symbol system. It is contained in the materialized products of daily life such as fashion, home, architecture, horticulture and environment. It is reflected in the creation of cultural products including literature, films and music. It is still a way of behaviour and life that expresses specific customs. To sum up, style is not only the core of cultural products with visual, melodic, literal and abstract symbols, but also a way of life.
The style of China means the expression of Chinese elements. Chinese elements are the inheritance(傳承) of cultural genes. The style of China relies on thousands of years of cultural accumulation(積累). It should not be limited to objects. It is supposed to express the Chinese cultural concept of Confucianism and Taoism. It must reflect the specific views of man and nature, man and objects as well as man and social relations.
The style of China ought to be oriented towards the world. It did influence the world. Silk and ceramics were the main products traded along the Silk Road. They contained rich Chinese culture. The thousandyearold Silk Road spread the style of China to the West. And the craze for Chinoiserie(中國藝術品) was a popular fashion in European society at that time.
The style of China is the reproduction and variation of cultural genes. It is the inheritance along with innovation.
The style of China is dutybound to select as always silk, bamboo, wood, stone clay, glass and porcelain. Meanwhile, the materials in modern industrial era like metals, glass and cement should be fully used. Besides, it is necessary to continue the concept of interactive space planning between man and nature and between man and man. It also needs to explore such new spaces as digitization, the Internet, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
The style of China must show the transformation and promotion from Chinese manufacturing to Chinese creation. It relies on the manufacturing power and the industrial strength. The style of China presents to the world the image of a large industrial producer and a birthplace of global creativity.
The style of China represents not only the reconstruction of objects, but also the renewal of Chinese value system.
The style of China ought to rely on rich historical heritage(遺產), draw on strengths of others and keep up with the times. It should focus on the life of the general public, the world and the future.

As bikesharing booms in China, a guideline was released the government to promote a new form of the sharing economy—this time involving vehicles.
Carsharing, which provides an alternative for people to travel in cities, will be the new innovation in a service model. The released guideline focuses on legal status, insurance and regular maintenance of cars before they join sharing services. It encourages the development of carsharing, which is expected to reduce the hiking to individually buy vehicles and ease traffic congestion amid a surge in recent years of privatecar ownership.
However, there is a long way to go before the purpose of the guideline comes true, said Xia Xueluan, a professor of sociology. First, a car costs at least 100，000 yuan, almost 500 times that for a shared bicycle. Besides, shared cars also take the same spaces as other private cars, so parking will be another problem.
Meanwhile, traditional car rental companies are competing with the emerging carsharing businesses. It's estimated the charges will be almost the same for both forms of car rentals, Xia said. How to survive fierce competitin will remain a challenge for carsharing providers, he added.

This report is mainly about a guideline for the promotion of carsharing, which shows government's will to reduce traffic congestion. Meanwhile, some difficulties are also put forward as a reminder.
Despite the current problems like parking difficulties and economic factors, personally I believe the benefits carsharing brings obviously outweigh those defects. To the society, congestion together with pollution can be remarkably eased with less private cars. To individuals, apart from the saved money, the convenience of getting around without being stuck to the same car is also a cool thing.
For a healthy carsharing development, the most important is to make sure everyone obeys the rule when using shared cars. Parking won't be a headache when users return cars in order. As for the survival of the new industry, government can subsidize those submitting to the guidelines. When good examples are followed and vicious competition is prohibited, problems will be solved.

If it had not been for Fan Jinshi and her team, the world cultural heritage at Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes in a remote Chinese desert might have long been destroyed by sand, weather or humans.
Born and raised in Shanghai, Fan has spent half a century fighting an uphill battle to preserve the ancient Buddhist wall painting at Dunhuang, in Northwest China’s Gansu Province. The 1,651-year-old Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are a huge collection of Buddhist art—more than 2,000 buddha figures and 45,000 square meters of paintings spread among 735 caves. It is China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Archaeologist Fan was sent to Dunhuang after graduation from Peking University in 1963. While in Dunhuang, a remote village in the desert then, Fan lived in an abandoned temple. At first, she did not even dare to go out to the toilet at night. To protect the treasures from sand and dampness, Fan and other workers put doors on the caves, planted trees and started monitoring temperature and humidity in the caves. They also controlled the number of visitors.
In the late 1990s, with tourism booming nationwide since national holidays were extended, the local government planned to go public with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, but found Fan firmly in their way. “The heritage would have been destroyed if it had been listed,” she said.
Dunhuang Academy has now photographed and cataloged online all the sculptures and paintings. “Despite our efforts to minimize damage, we can’t completely stop them from being eroded. But the digital database will last.”
Fan was grateful when her husband joined her in Dunhuang in 1986 after 19 years of separation. Her two sons grew up in Shanghai with their aunt. “I have not been a good mother or wife. With regard to my family, I’m full of guilt,” she said. Fan, 79, retired two years ago as the director of Dunhuang Academy but continues her efforts as a national political adviser.
56. Which of the following measures didn’t Fan Jinshi take to protect Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?
A. Opening Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to the public extensively.
B. Planting trees and stopping the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes being eroded.
C. Picturing and classifying all the sculptures and paintings online.
D. Putting doors on the caves and monitoring temperature and humidity.
57. When was Fan separated from her husband?
A. In 1963. B. In 1967.
C. In 1986. D. In the late 1990s.
58. The phrase “in their way” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. Go to a place. B. Be in favor of something.
C. Reject something. D. Give in to something.
59. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the history of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
B. the attractions of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
C. Fan’s devotion to preserving Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
D. the appeal for the protection of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
60. What kind of person do you think Fan is?
A. Considerate and easy-going. B. kind and intelligent.
C. Humorous and sweet-tempered. D. Devoted and persistent.
C
For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and prac¬tise how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(實習). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.
Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.
In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expec¬ted to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.
But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year col¬lege track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影響的) kids with no jobs and no skills.
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.
However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to-l9-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.
“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.
61. In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers _______.
A. have enough career-related courses
B. need more career advice from their schools
C. perform better in exams than German students
D. can get higher earnings in later years
62. According to Robert Schwartz, ________.
A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US
B. students should get contact with the working world at high school
C. education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams
D. teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience
63. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.
B. Students with career-based courses never have prob¬lems finding a job.
C.US companies work with schools to prepare young peo¬ple for future employment.
D. High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely.
64. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Arguments about recent US education reform.
B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.
C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.
D. Advice for American high school leavers.
65. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means _______.
A. discouraging B. interesting C. creative D. unbearable
D
A linguist is always listening, never off-duty. I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit anxious, for there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, rather nervously, and I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from 1 to 20. Then we could relax and have a drink. I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn counted seriously from 1 to 20 in their best accents. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks. The rest of the evening was spent in total relaxation. I joined them in talking and joking freely, leaving them only to take a telephone call, which lasted some time.
As a matter of fact, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the kitchen. My friends, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphone which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my long absence meant that I was able to get as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the recording was over, and asked them whether it should be destroyed. None of them wanted to—but for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, it was I who paid for them. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.
66. The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because _________.
A. he wanted to record the numbers for his research
B. he wanted his friends to think that was all he wanted to record
C. he wanted to make his friends relax before real recording started
D. he wanted to find out whether the tape recorder was working
67. How did his friends react when the writer told them what he had done?
A. They wanted him to destroy the recordings he had made
B. They made him buy them more drinks
C. They were angry with him
D. They didn’t seem to mind much
68. The writer went into another room to _________.
A. stay away from too much drinking with his friends
B. bring a telephone into the front room
C. get a natural recording of his friends’ conversation
D. answer a long distance phone call
69. The writer successfully recorded his friends’ conversation on the recorder _______.
A. in the front room
B. in the kitchen
C. in the middle of the room
D. in the room where he was answering the call
70. Which of the following words can best describe the recording which the writer managed to make?
A. natural B. prepared C. controlled D. unclear

Yellow Robot deliver snacks to your home
A robot makes its way back to a supermarket after making a delivery during a demonstration in Beijing.
Along a street on the outer edges of Beijing, a yellow and black cube about the size of a small washing machine moves leisurely to its destination. This “little yellow horse” is a delivery robot, transporting daily essentials like drinks, fruit and snacks from the local store to the residents. Equipped with GPS system, cameras and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.
“The weak point is that it can’t deliver directly to the door like a human.” said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor. “But it is still quite practical. The robot delivers relatively quickly.”
The robot takes off for Chinese customers’ love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping. China is the world’s biggest online shopping market with more than half of its population making at least one smartphone purchase per month, according to professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Whether buying electronics, toilet paper or clothes, Chinese customers are used to simply tapping a button on their smartphone and getting a home delivery.
To get a delivery via the “little yellow horse”, customers select the desired products, tap in the address and pay via their phone. Then, the supermarket staff place the items in the robot.
Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics, which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his creation. “At the moment, there are 100 million packages delivered every day in China. It will be one billion in the future,” Liu said. “ There will not be enough humans to make the deliveries. We need more and more robots to fill this gap and reduce costs.” These costs are especially high in the last kilometer of a delivery.

Dear Dr. Dan,
I’m writing to ask for some information about your school and how to become admitted to your university .
As a senior 3 girl , I have always been considering going abroad for further studies , which I suppose will benefit me greatly in the long term . I’m an outgoing student and good at physics and biology ,including English of course and I hope to grasp this opportunity to realize my dream .
What puzzles me most is that I don’t know the exact time for the test and interview , and also I am confused about what to be prepared for the test . Besides this , I’ll greatly appreciate it if you could introduce me something about the school life in your university , especially the after-school activities , spare time life and the tuition .
Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua

Are you having so much of work to finish and are unable to keep your home clean and healthy? Don't worry. Robotic vacuum cleaners are here to help you in cleaning.
The robotic vacuum cleaners are outfitted with sensors， motherboard， WiFi， and lasers to navigate across the home by themselves. They are made so small that they undoubtedly creep under the furniture， cupboards， beds， carpets and so on to detect and clean the dust. Whereas the robotic vacuum cleaners don't require any help from you， you just need to set it and then carry on your work such as cooking， painting， office work， etc. as it can efficiently clean without any supervision. If their batteries die off， they will automatically go to the charge station and get charged.
The robotic vacuum cleaners make very little noise when compared to that of the standard vacuum cleaners. To collect all the dirt and grime that has been cleaned， these robotic vacuum cleaners come with a builtin waste bin. You can with no difficulty clean this inbuilt dustbin and can reuse them again and again.
The problematic thing with the standard vacuum cleaner is that the vacuum bags are costly and has to be replaced once in 60 days. That is why it is best to invest your money in purchasing the robotic vacuum cleaner. Its purchase price may be a little high， but once you buy it， the maintenance cost will be decreased with so many other benefits.
There are different types of robotic vacuum cleaners on the market right now in different sizes. Make a wise decision and buy the best robotic vacuum cleaner that can fulfill all your requirements so that you can be happy and hygienic(衛(wèi)生的).

When a caterpillar(毛蟲) pretends to be a snake to keep off potential predators(捕食者)，it should probably expect to be treated like one. This is exactly what happened in Costa Rica earlier this year， when researchers witnessed a hummingbird defending its nest from what it interpreted to be a snake， but was actually a caterpillar， which was feeding on a leaf above the nest.
These caterpillars resemble flat dried leaves as adults. They can expand the top of their heads to expose a pair of eyespots that discourage potential predators. When disturbed， they raise their head up and move from side to side， increasing the snakelike appearance. In particular they resemble a green parrot snake， known to feed on nesting birds.
Hummingbirds have a few styles of flying： visiting flowers， feeding on some tiny insects， chasing each other， and mating territory(領土) display flights. Mobbing(圍攻) behavior directed against a threat to their nest is much less common but easy to recognize if you know their flight behaviors.
The interaction of the caterpillar and the humming birds took place in Costa Rica. The comings and goings of the female hummingbird around its nest may have disturbed the caterpillar， causing it to expose its eyespots， which in turn caused the hummingbird to defend its nest using what is referred to as “mobbing behavior” by birds.
The caterpillar was unable to feed during the 26minutes of nearly continuous attacks. Most of the bird's movements were cautious， but included quick attacks to peck or bite the eyespots.
It was difficult for either the bird or caterpillar to withdraw from the standoff(僵局)，with the hummingbird protecting its nest and the caterpillar just trying to finish its leafy meal. Eventually the caterpillar gave up on eating and crawled away while still under attack， and the hummingbird continued normal nesting behavior.
When birds exhibit this mobbing behavior targeting snake's eyes， it often ends with snakes being killed by repeated bites and pecks near the head. As for creatures that imitate snakes to protect themselves from being eaten， can they in turn protect themselves? Because the hummingbird behavior was typical antisnake behavior， it can be considered replicable(可復制的).
Future studies of this behavior can be conducted using a tiny， caterpillar robot. It should be remote controlled， light enough to attach to a leaf or stem， and wireless. With such a robot， researchers could vary the eyelike nature and contrast of spots on the head of the robot to test various responses of nestdefending birds. A study like this could definitively test the effects of eyelike versus other imitating patterning for exciting the defensive attacks.
And， it turns out that the caterpillar feeds on a leaf on the same plant， as far away from the nest as possible!
( )61. What do we know about caterpillars and hummingbirds from the passage?
A. They belong to the same species.
B. They are natural enemies of each other.
C. They are insects and birds respectively.
D. They compete against each other for territory.
( )62. Hummingbirds will show their mobbing behaviors when visitors W.
A. are picking flowers B. are chasing each other
C. interrupt their eating leaves D. set foot on their territories
( )63. Why is neither the hummingbird nor the caterpillar willing to withdraw at first?
A. Because the hummingbird is trying to finish its leafy meal.
B. Because the caterpillar is protecting the hummingbird's nest.
C. Because they behave in this way out of their own interest.
D. Because there is a green parrot snake watching them.
( )64. A tiny caterpillar robot can be used to W.
A. imitate the antisnake behavior
B. test nestdefending birds' responses
C. take control of the snake's behavior
D. guard against the defensive attacks

I'm a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories.
I grew up reading British and American children's books. When I began to write， I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading： All my characters were white and blueeyed， they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather， despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes， and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign， I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them. Things changed when I discovered African books. Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye， I went through a mental shift in my idea of literature. I realized that people like me， girls with skin the color of chocolate， could also exist in literature. I started to write about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this： It saved me from having a single story of what books are.
The year I turned eight， we got a new house boy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didn't finish my dinner， my mother would say， “Finish your food! Don't you know? People like Fide's family have nothing.” So I felt enormous pity for Fide's family. Then one Saturday， we went to his village to visit， and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made. I was astonished. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something. Their poverty was my single story of them.
Years later， when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States， my American roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well， and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language. What struck me was this： She had felt sorry for me even before she saw me. My roommate had a single story of Africa： a single story of catastrophe.
Of course， Africa is a continent full of catastrophes. But there are other stories that are not about catastrophe， and it is very important， it is just as important， to talk about them. The consequence of the single story is this： It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar.
So what if my mother had told us that Fide's family was poor and hardworking? What if we had an African television network that broadcast diverse African stories all over the world? What if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher， Muhtar Bakare， a remarkable man who left his job in a bank to follow his dream and start a publishing house? What if my roommate knew about my friend Funmi Iyanda， a fearless woman who hosts a TV show， and is determined to tell the stories that we prefer to forget?
My Nigerian publisher and I have just started a nonprofit called Farafina Trust， and we have big dreams of building libraries and providing books for state schools， and also of organizing lots of workshops in reading and writing， for all the people who are eager to tell our many stories.
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories can break the dignity of a people， but stories can also repair that broken dignity. When we realize that there is never a single story about any place， we regain a kind of paradise.
( )65. What is probably people's first impression of the writer when it comes to her nationality?
A. She mainly eats apples and mangoes.
B. She may not speak fluent English.
C. She comes from a place free of catastrophes.
D. She prefers stories based on foreign characters.
( )66. The underlined phrase “a mental shift” in Paragraph 2 refers to the writer's W.
A. discovery of African books with characters of her skin color
B. acquaintance with local African writers like Chinua Achebe
C. realization that not only foreign characters exist in literature
D. change that she started to write about things she recognized
( )67. How many personal stories has the writer mentioned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )68. The writer uses several single stories in the passage to illustrate that the single story W.
A. matters in keeping listeners well informed
B. tends to convey a prejudiced idea to listeners
C. gets increasingly popular among story tellers
D. fails to produce a lasting effect on listeners
( )69. The writer lists many “what ifs” in Paragraph 6 to W.
A. emphasize our differences rather than similarities
B. indicate the way that stories are used to break dignity
C. show the hardship of recognizing our equal humanity
D. stress the importance of telling diverse， balanced stories
( )70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The danger of the single story B. The importance of telling stories
C. The single stories that matter D. Stories that can repair broken dignity

Emojis Catch Fire; Creators Seek IP Protection
Emojis(表情符號) are part and parcel of a great many messages exchanged by users of instant message apps， social media， email and the like. As the latest form of intellectual property(IP) in China， they are turning out to be a moneyspinner and also an IP worth further protection in China.
Consider Rumi， a pandalike emoji， which has been downloaded on social media more than 340 million times， representing more than one fourth of China's entire population. More and more users love to use emojis because they help spice up their messages with slick meanings， moods or states of mind that are best expressed quickly， not in words， but through interesting or funny images.
Not only do they use， they also tip. China's largest social media platform WeChat told ChinaDaily that more than 6.9 million users tipped emoji artists in 2017， part of nearly 14 million yuan($2 million) in all. The return can be handsome. Zhang Xuchen， 39，a parttime emoji creator from Tianjin， said that he earned a good income in the tens of thousands of yuan a year simply through tipping from customers， which supplements(貼補) his job as a forklift truck driver.
StarMoly， founded in 2016， is the developer of Rumi. It owns more than 30 emojis， which have been downloaded more than 1.4 billion times. “Driven by the wide use of social media in nearly every corner in China， emojis are undoubtedly a promising IP，” said Lin Dongdong， president of StarMoly. Unlike traditional IPs， the company's emojis will change their costumes and status according to different situations， which brings the digitalbased images alive.
StarMoly has also cooperated with a great number of companies to develop its IPs. It has authorized its emojis to the Shape of Water， an Oscarwinning film， to use them in domestic publicity. “To protect our IPs， we select our partners with great caution. We only choose those wellknown and highquality brands including Lay's，Microsoft， Discovery and Taobao to make sure that our IPs are protected，” Lin said， noting that there are indeed many cases of abuse and piracy in the emoji and its related sectors in China.
“Emojis are very likely to be pirated because most of them are in digital forms， which are very easy to be copied and used again，” said Cheng Yanbo， an analyst. “Besides， it is a brandnew and wild area that is not effectively supervised(監(jiān)管).”
A good example， he said， is the facepalm emoji， one of the country's most widespread characters. It was recently registered as a trademark by a clothing maker from Zhejiang province instead of the emoji's creator， WeChat.
“To protect these emoji IPs， related rules and regulations are needed to protect the IP rights of both creators and companies，” he said， adding that education on the subject is supposed to keep up.

Su Hua1 January， Sunny
I felt ashamed of myself when I was reviewing my previous resolutions this morning. I make resolutions every New Year's Day. However， they DON'T WORK!

One possible version：
People tend to make resolutions on New Year's Day to inspire themselves to meet new goals. While fulfilled aspirations do bring happiness， many people fail to make their resolutions work.
Anyway， it makes sense to make New Year's resolutions when the calendar changes. At the beginning of a new year， resolutions can guarantee us a fresh start. Just as a saying goes， well begun is half done. Meanwhile， the resolutions can serve as a constant reminder and a powerful motivator towards our goals.
Therefore， practical methods should be adopted to make our resolutions come true. Break our resolutions into a series of timebased steps and achieve them one by one. Also， share our resolutions with our family members who can regularly remind us. At the same time， assess and reward ourselves in time for remarkable progress that we have made. I'm sure that we will make it with persistent efforts. (150 words)

M： Another 40 minutes. We can have lunch at the top， or down by the water.
W： We had a late breakfast， so I can wait. I'm excited to see this lake. The guidebook says it changes color throughout the year.
M： That's true. In the fall and winter， it's sky blue because of the light reflecting off tiny pieces of ice in the lake. At this time of year， it turns green because of the plants that grow under the water.
W： That's so cool. It's a good thing I brought my camera.

W： Come on， tell me.
M： It's taking place inside the Metropolitan Shopping Center.

Andrew had always looked up to his brother Dave， who was five years older. When Andrew turned 10， their father passed away after a long battle with cancer. Dave knew he was the only positive male role model for Andrew. The next year， Dave got his driver's license and started driving his brother everywhere his father used to： school， soccer practice， friends' houses， summer camp… anywhere Andrew needed to be. He also got a parttime job in the evenings to help his mother with the family expenses. Dave never thought about himself; he was always tired， but he knew he was doing the right thing. Several years later， Andrew was getting ready to graduate from high school at the top of his class. The headmaster asked him to give a speech in front of the whole school. The head of the entire school district was going to be there to introduce him. Andrew was honored， and he wrote his speech that night. The day of the graduation arrived. Dave was in the audience， along with his mother. Andrew said that he owed all his success to his older brother. He thanked Dave for showing him how to be a better person and a stronger man for his family. With tears in his eyes， he told Dave that their father was proud of both of them. Dave smiled through his own tears， because he finally knew it had all been worth it.
