【題目】 Eating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those who don’t have basic cooking skills, or are too busy working or traveling, one thing can save them-- instant noodles.

This year marks the 61st anniversary of the invention of instant noodles. Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958, instant noodles have been popular around the world. In China, the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train.

There are some fun facts about instant noodles: The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters. The first instant noodles were considered a luxury product. When they first came to Japanese supermarkets in 1958, they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20th century.

For instant noodles, as well as many other “instant” foods, convenience is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier.

____________________. For example, in wars, soldiers eat compressed biscuits and canned meat because they don’t need to cook these foods. And in the 1960s, frozen dinners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables became popular in the US. This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.

In recent years, however, online meal-ordering services have brought challenge to instant foods. Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Ele.me，Dianping and Meituan. These services offer not only convenience, but also more choices and tastier food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association, instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China as of 2016.

This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their bellies, experts say.

【題目】 In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular(壯觀的)bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before.

But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced (說服) his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be done. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again.

"We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping (輕叩) it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code (代碼) to communicate with her. Then he used this way to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.

Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute (致敬) to the great success of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances (境遇).

【1】The underlined word "daunted" (para.6) is closest in meaning to "__________".

A.unpleasantB.amazedC.scaredD.determined

【2】Which of the following shows the correct order of the events that happened in the story?

a. Roebling convinced his son.

b. Washington found a new way to communicate.

c. They hired the crew.

d. The bridge was completed.

e. Roebling wanted to build a bridge.

f. There was a tragic accident.

A.e, a, c, f, d, bB.e, a, c, f, b, dC.e, f, a, b, c, dD.e, a, f, b, c, d

【3】What can we learn about Washington's wife?

A.She was devoted to her husband.B.She knew sign language very well.

C.She developed a code to communicate with her husband.D.She helped her husband design the plan.

【4】What does the story tell us?

A.Success will come with the passing of time.

B.Struggles are exactly what we need in our lives.

C.The people who make a difference in our life should be remembered forever.

D.Even the most distant dream can be realized with a never-say-die attitude.

【題目】 What do you think about when you think of a zoo? Small cages? Bars like those in prisons? These images might be common in people’s mind, which serve as arguments for the people who do not like zoos, as historically, traditional zoos kept animals with a very limited focus on conservation(protection of natural things or education, However, a sort of evolution (改革;進(jìn)化) has occurred.

Most zoos today, especially those in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), an international organization whose members are leading zoos and aquariums, provide spacious and natural space for their animals and worked hard to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. More importantly, modern zoos not only take much better care of the animals they keep, but also engage with the protection of animals in the wild.

As the human population increases, our impact on the environment has been deadly harmful to wildlife and wild spaces. Things like climate change and severe habitat destruction are causing species to go extinct at unnatural rates. Some scientists estimate we are currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction (滅絕) in the history of life on earth. As a consoling (令人安慰的) part out of all griefs, many zoos serve as important safe-holds for endangered species populations, and in cases like that of the California Condor, captive breeding programs in AZA, which kept animals in zoos proved to be important in bringing species back from extinction. Besides, AZA, including many zoos, also fund over 2,500 conservation projects, donating 160 million dollars every year to protecting species in the wild.

The conservation impact that zoos have goes even further than direct conservation action and financial support for fieldwork. In a time when people spend less and less time outdoors, zoos serve as a place to teach children and remind adults that wildlife and wild spaces still exist, and that our society holds the future of these species’ survival in our hands.

________________________. While I am only 18, I have spent the last six years volunteering with wildlife conservation organizations. As a volunteer at the Santa Barbara Zoo, I stood outside of the Amur Leopard exhibit and educated guests about these critically endangered big cats. I saw the way that live animals can spark people’s curiosity and inspire them to love and protect nature. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend the AZA’s Legislative Conference in Washington DC, where I got the opportunity to see how zoos support conservation efforts in the wild. Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia is an organization dedicated (致力于) to saving the cheetah in the wild, but it relies heavily on support from zoos. Many zoos donate large amounts of money to CCF, but they also contribute to CCF’s mission by connecting people across the United States with cheetahs, and the issues they face in the wild.

Zoos can be controversial institutions; however, both opponents of traditional zoos and those who support modern zoos have more in common than one might think. Both groups are extremely motivated because they care so deeply about animals, their welfare, and their long-term survival on our planet. I encourage you to consider both sides of this issue and learn more about all of the conservation work zoos do, and the world-class care animals in AZA receive before determining where you stand on this issue.

【1】Images like small cages are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to explain ________.

A.why there must be an evolution of zoos

B.how much people misunderstand the zoos

C.why some people are against traditional zoos

D.how well the modern zoos are treating animals

【2】According to Paragraph 3, what do captive breeding programs do?

A.They are conservation projects donating to AZA.

B.They protect the wild habitat of endangered animal.

C.They keep endangered animals to save them from extinction.

D.They set up missions of animal protection for AZA every year.

【3】Which sentence serves best as the topic sentence of Paragraph 5?

A.However, there is still much that zoos should have done.

B.I have gotten to see many of the positive aspects of zoos up close.

C.Yet what I have personally experienced might explain why zoos have caused so much disagreement.

D.The misunderstanding of zoos, unfortunately, is still widespread, and some people are blind to the contributions zoos have made.

【4】What is TRUE according to the article?

A.Zoos in Namibia heavily reply on the Cheetah Conservation Fund

B.Traditional zoos only paid attention to conservation but no education.

C.Modern zoos bear responsibility for the animals they keep and those in the wild.

D.With the increase of human population, a huge species extinction in history is on.

【5】Which could be the best title for the article?

A.Traditional Zoos: Harmful to Wildlife

B.AZA: A Consoling Part out of All Griefs

C.Evolution of Zoos: More Changes in Need

D.Modern Zoos: Dedicated to Saving the Wildlife
