【題目】 In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data.

Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors(感測器)that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.

Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination(目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.

: drones(無人機(jī))are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast

drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!

To summarize, the cities of the future will be very different. What kind of city would you like to live in when you grow up?

1Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph?

A.To show that cities are becoming much smarter.

B.To explain why there are more people in big cities.

C.To help people in cities live a more exciting life.

D.To invent some new ways of keeping the city tidy.

2What is a good result of using self-driving technology?

A.There will be fewer cars in the future.

B.Few people will ride a bike around.

C.People will have better driving skills.

D.All the car factories will go out of business.

3Which can be put in ?

A.But there will be traffic jams in the air

B.New technology will appear in the future

C.Change is not only happening on the ground

D.Technology will surely play a part in our future life

4What is the best title for the passage?

文章大意:在未來,越來越多的人將搬到大城市。為了做好準(zhǔn)備,在大數(shù)據(jù)的幫助下,城市變得更加智能和高效。地方政府已經(jīng)在收集大量重要數(shù)據(jù)。例如,有測量噪音、污染和交通的傳感器。這被稱為“智慧城市技術(shù)”。這類技術(shù)在未來可能還很遙遠(yuǎn),但其他技術(shù)即將問世:自動駕駛汽車今天正在世界各地進(jìn)行測試。無人機(jī)現(xiàn)在越來越普遍了。也許,無人機(jī)總有一天能把人送到鎮(zhèn)上。然后,你可以飛到任何你想去的地方!總而言之,未來的城市將大不相同。你長大后想住在什么樣的城市?

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors(感測器)that measure noise, pollution and traffic.

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination(目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike 如果自動駕駛出租車能利用智能城市的數(shù)據(jù)找到帶你去目的地的最佳方式,那么交通堵塞就會減少,步行或騎自行車的空間也會增加?芍蚀鸢笧A。

3理解判斷題。根據(jù)上文“People will probably stop buying cars altogether.” 人們可能會完全停止購買汽車。和下句“drones(無人機(jī))are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast 無人機(jī)現(xiàn)在越來越普遍了。又便宜又快?芍,此空應(yīng)填變化不僅僅發(fā)生在地面上,故答案為C。

4最佳標(biāo)題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,在未來,越來越多的人將搬到大城市,總而言之,未來的城市將大不相同。你長大后想住在什么樣的城市?這篇文章最好的標(biāo)題是未來的城市。故答案為D

It has been quite a long time since people3(start) to use online expressions. Some common expressions of laughter include LOL, meaning laughing out loud, and ROFL, rolli ng on the floor laughing.

【題目】 McDull(麥兜)is a well-known cartoon animation image(動畫形象)in Hong Kong, China. He is a little pink pig who lives in Hong Kong. He is not bright, but he works hard. His dream is to make his mother proud of him. For more than a decade, McDull's cute animated pig image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a national sprout(國民萌物).

You probably know him. He's McDull. Most children are familiar with him. However, do you know the artist behind this lovely pig?

Let's meet Alice Mak(麥家琪).

Mak is a shy artist in Hong Kong. Ever since she was a kid, she has liked drawing. In college, Mak decided to study illustration.

She doesn't like giving speeches. She doesn't like talking to strangers either. At most times, she refuses to be interviewed. As a result, some people describe her as an unfriendly person.

Mak, the creator of McDull, can also be called "the mother of McDull". This person who has always liked to dream in a simple world doesn't seem to grow up until she becomes a wife and still looks like a lovely girl. She was born for comics, for McDull.

【題目】

In 1989, an 8.2 earthquake almost destroyed America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.

After the unforgettable scare, he remembered the promise he had made to his son, "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless but he kept remembering his promise to his son.

Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right comer of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins. As he was digging, other helpless parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying, "It's too late! They're all dead! You can't help! Go home! Come on! Face reality. There's nothing you can do!"

To each parent he replied with one line, "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The firefighter leader showed up and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out. Explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." This loving father asked, "Are you going to help me now?" The police came and said, "You're angry, worried and it's over. You are making others in danger. Go home. We'll handle it!" He replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.

He went on alone because he needed to know for himself, "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for eight hours ...12 hours ...24 hours ...36 hours ... then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "Armand!" He heard back, "Dad?! It's me, Dad! I told the other children not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!" "What's going on there? How is it?" the father asked. "There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us."

"Come out, boy!" "No, Dad! Let the other kids out first because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!"
