When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low-budget(小成本) movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.

The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn’t even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (離婚) in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.

I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山巖) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!

The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn’t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (畫布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500.

The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口邊緣) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after.

1.Why did the writer go to Hawaii?

A. To realize her childhood dream.

B. To free herself from trouble.

C. To spend her holiday.

D. To make a living.

2.Which of the following is the writer’s dream?

A. Living in nature with animals.

B. Becoming a successful painter.

C. Getting close to wildlife.

D. Living a free and happy life.

3.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. the writer’s husband took away most of her money

B. the writer wasn’t sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first

C. the writer had never done painting before

D. the writer’s parents encouraged her to divorce

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat (微信) without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低頭族).

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.

But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.

It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

1.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?

A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.

B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.

C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.

D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.

2.Which of the following is NOT a risk(危險(xiǎn)）a phubber may have?

A. His social skills could be affected.

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.

C. He will cause the destruction of the world.

D. He might get separated from his friends and family.

3.Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?

A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Optimistic.D. Objective.

4.What may the passage talk about next?

A. Advice on how to use WeChat.

B. People addicted to phubbing.

C. Measures to reduce the risks(危害) of phubbing.

D. Results of phubbing.

My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria(自助餐廳) in Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a big plate full of food came up to him. She sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend later, “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price.

What's the most important thing in life?

People's answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. "Nothing is more special than a child," he told the BBC.

Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology—more commonly known as "test-tube (試管) baby" technology—passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87.

"Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高興) in the gift of their own child," said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London. "He leaves the world a much better place."

Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as "scary", according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.

Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. "People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature," Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt "quite alone" at the time.

"But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing," said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.

The first test-tube baby was born on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite people's safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children.

"IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun," BBC commented.

Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (擁向) to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other "test-tube" children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封為爵士) by Queen Elizabeth in the following year.

Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. "He is like a granddad to me," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

He is a granddad to millions, in fact.

1.What’s the article mainly about?

A. The first test-tube baby.

B. A new era in medicine.

C. The inventor of IVF technology.

D. The changes IVF technology has brought.

2.The writer mentioned Peter Braude to ________.

A. show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his work

B. describe what kind of person Edwards was

C. explain why he is loved by all children

D. comment on his achievement

3.The underlined word "opposition" in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to "________"

A. attackB. supportC. testD. influence

4.What is the correct order of events in Edwards' life?

a. He received a Nobel Prize.

b. He struggled to raise funds.

c. The first test-tube baby was born.

d. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

e. He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.

Chinese car makers have narrowed the quality gap with their foreign rivals in the world’s largest vehicle market to the smallest level in seven years, according to research.

But the improvements have not been enough to see an obvious drop in the market share for local car companies this year, raising questions about their ability to be global competitors.

The annual quality survey of China’s car market by J.D. Power, a Californian market research company, tracks the number of mechanical and design problems reported per 100 vehicles by more than 21,000 Chinese drivers.

It documented 131 problems per 100 domestic(國內(nèi)的) vehicles, compared with 95 per 100 foreign vehicles. The 36-point gap was the narrowest in the study’s seven-year history. When China overtook the US as the world’s largest car maker in the 2009, the gap between domestic and foreign cars was 145 points. “It’s evidence to the improvements that domestic brands have been making,” said Geoff Broderick, head of J.D. Power’s operations. “By 2018 the domestic and the global brands will be equal in terms of quality.”

Despite the steady improvement in quality, local vehicle makers have been performing poorly this year. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, domestic brand’s share of the market for cars—not including SUVs—has fallen from about 25 percent to 20 percent.

“Chinese customers are very picky in the world because they have been trained to distrust products,” said Mr Broderick, citing scandals(丑聞) affecting baby milk powder and toys.

“They go into a situation expecting there could be quality issues, whereas in the West we trust the brands.

1.What was the gap between Chinese vehicles and foreign vehicles in 2016?

A. 131 points.B. 145 points.C. 95 points.D. 36 points.

2.The data in the fourth paragraph shows that ________.

A. the market share of the domestic cars has dropped

B. the quality of domestic vehicles have been improved

C. China’s cars have many mechanical and design problems

D. J.D. Power has done many surveys in the past seven years

3.J.D. Power is ________.

A. a name of a company

B. a car maker

C. a head of an association

D. a milk brand

4.According to what Mr. Broderick said in the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.

A. Chinese car market will be optimistic as is expected

B. Chinese and western consumers have different attitudes to products

C. he doesn’t like Chinese customers because they don’t trust products

D. it is easier for China’s car companies to sell cars to the West
