【題目】 Alabama: Priester’s Pecans

Dessert in the South basically starts and ends with an ooey-gooey pecan (核桃) pie. Especially in Alabama, where the pecan is the official state nut. While there are plenty of farms that pick and package pecans, perhaps the most famous is Priester’s, a family-run business that’s been supplying Alabama with its favorite nuts for over seven decades.

Alaska: Salmon jerky

Forget beef jerky (肉干) - in Alaska, it’s all about the salmon jerky. Home to five different species of the flavorful fish (king, red, pink, silver, and chum), the northernmost state produces nearly one-third of the wild salmon consumed around the world. Bonus: Salmon is one of the seven healthiest fish you can eat.

Arizona: Saguaro cactus

The largest cactus (仙人掌) in the United States, the saguaro cactus is found only in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. Living to be up to 200 years old, the cacti, whose flower is also the state’s flower, are generally around 30 feet tall and can grow unlimited arms. Want to see for yourself? Visit one of these 10 outstanding desert escapes in America.

California: Wine Guide

It isn’t called “Wine Country” for no reason. Northern California, specifically Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, produce over 60,000 registered wine labels, making vino (酒類產(chǎn)品) the state’s most valuable agricultural product. If you’re looking for the most popular varietals (優(yōu)質(zhì)釀酒葡萄汁)，the top two frequently planted grapes are chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章主要內(nèi)容為介紹了Alabama、Alaska、Arizona以及California四個(gè)州的特產(chǎn)可知文章可能選自一本旅游手冊(cè)。故選D。

【題目】 Imagine you're standing in line to buy an afterschool snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.

【1】 As technology companies move away from traditional password, biometric(生物識(shí)別) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.

In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.

【2】 “Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometric expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”

When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “【3】”

But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.

“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS news. “No security systems are perfect.”

Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smartphone for police.

“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. 【4】”

A. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.

B. Security experts don’t think it absolutely necessary to use biometric technology.

C. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.

D. Now, this type of technology might not be far away.

E. If a person’s biometric information is stolen, that could have extremely serious consequences for that individual

F. The chance that a random person could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with his face is about one in a million.

A robot used for housework was going to be tested out in a family. He looked like a tall and handsome man with smooth black hair, speak in a deep voice. Larry was going to be away from home, so he hired such a robot to accompany with his wife Claire. Claire didn’t like the idea at the beginning, and she agreed to it at last. At her first sight of Tony, Claire was alarming. When Tony offered to help her dress, Claire felt embarrassed. Gradual Tony began to win Claire’s trust. He helped Claire realize her dreams by making her home elegant, giving her a new haircut, changing the makeup she wears and giving her advice on her dresses. Therefore at the party all the guest who were invited were filled with admiration when they saw her house was completely transformed. At same time, Tony left a deep impression on all of them. After the test, the company was satisfied with Tony’s report because she had successfully made a woman regain her confident, although he shouldn’t have her fall in love with him.

【題目】London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has about seven million people. The river Thames runs through London.

People from all over the world visit London to see Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. There are many museums, theatres and parks in London, as well as offices and factories. London began as a Roman settlement called Londinium. The plague(瘟疫) came to London in the 1600s, followed by the Great Fire of 1666. The city was badly bombed in World War II.

London is very slowly sinking into its foundations and the level of the river Thames is slowly rising. As a result, extra-high tides could flood a large part of London. To prevent this happening, a great barrier（屏障）has been built across the Thames at Woolwich. If very high tides happen, the barrier can be raised and London will be safe.

【1】London is the capital of _________, which began as a __________ settlement.

A. England; Roman B. UK; Frenchman

C. Scotland; English D. UK; Roman

【2】According to the passage, from 1600 to now, ________ great disasters have happened in London.

A. one B. two

C. three D. four

【題目】 For many families, a night at the ballpark is a treat. But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic（自閉癥的）children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually become upset and scared.

For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations—and how others will react to them-keeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have.

Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician（兒科醫(yī)生）in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the community didn't serve her patients well in the long run.

"If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then there's no reason to expect them to be independent one day," Ross said. "It's a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting."

So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits.

Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights", when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume （音量）on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. "You can't turn down the volume of the world," Ross said. "It's nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night."

To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program.

She armed all the Phillies players and game-day staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event.

Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a plane.

Ross hopes that the tools she gives families can help them explore other settings on their own. "We really see it as a stepping stone to a brighter future," she said.

【1】According to Ross, what does a social disability mean?

A.Fearing light and noise.

B.Lacking social experience.

C.Having to rely on others for help.

D.Being separated from the community.

【2】What does the underlined part "do more,, imply?

A.Making the ballpark less noisy.

B.Making baseball teams autism-friendly.

C.Providing a normal game for autistic children.

D.Encouraging autistic children to go out into public.

【3】What is the Philadelphia Phillies?

A.A baseball team.

B.A baseball game.

C.A team of clinicians.

D.Families with autistic children.

【4】What is the purpose of Ross's airport travel program?

A.To help families to learn about air travel.

B.To teach airport staff knowledge about autism.

C.To teach autistic children how to travel by air.

D.To help autistic children get used to social situations.
