The girls on the Wesleyan‎ ‎Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.‎ Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, "Paris's eyes rolled back," Taylor says. "She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency."‎ It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die.  At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, "Does anyone know CPR?"‎ CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.‎ Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn't think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. "It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death," says Taylor.‎ Taylor‎'s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris's heartbeat returned.‎ ‎"I know I was really lucky," Paris says now. "Most people don't survive this. My team saved my life."‎ Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.‎ Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. "I feel more confident in my actions now," Taylor says. "I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation."‎ ‎21.What happened to Paris on a March day?‎ A.She caught a bad cold. B.She had a sudden heart problem.‎ C.She was knocked down by a ball. D.She shivered terribly during practice.‎ ‎22.Why does Paris say she was lucky?‎ A.She made a worthy friend. B.She recovered from shock.‎ C.She received immediate CPR. D.She came back on the softball team.‎ ‎23.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?‎ A.Enthusiastic and kind. B.Courageous and calm.‎ C.Cooperative and generous. D.Ambitious and professional.‎ B ‎.The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know. By next year,half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈).We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools,apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately,it's too little,too late. By the time these “solutions"(解决方案)become widely available,scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future,it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real.‎ That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use .At this year's I/O Conference ,a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human –sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.‎ These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother 's name ,and far more. Armed with  this  knowledge. they're able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means. for example,that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller 's,ricking you into "confirming " your address,mother's name,and card number. Scammers follow money,so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone,and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.‎ We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating ‎ what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by. or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like Face Time or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.‎ Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to harder from here on out.‎ ‎24.How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robecalls?‎ A.Panicked. B.Confused. C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.‎ ‎25.taking advantage of the new technologies,scammer can______.‎ A.aim at victims precisely B.damage databases easily C.start campaigns rapidly D.spread information widely ‎26.What does the passage imply?‎ A.Honesty is the best policy. B.Technologies can be double-edited.‎ C.There are more solutions than problems. D.Credibility holds the key to development.‎ ‎27.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted B.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Roboealls C.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous D.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology C ‎.Digital grounding is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children. According to a study conducted by Pew Research,65% parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen’s cellphone or Internet access as punishment.‎ Because children are so connected with their technologies,digital grounding may seem likea logical step for parents. Take away a child’s most cherished item and they will quickly learnfrom their behavior, But the idea of digital grounding isn’t ‎ as clear-cut as that. Instead, it may be a lose-lose situation for parents and kids, alike.‎ For most parents, the goal of grounding isn’t to make their children unhappy or sad. It is to teach a lesson in the hope that they won’t engage in whatever behavior gets them in trouble in thefirst place. Unfortunately, though, digital grounding is often just punishment, not discipline. If a child stays out past curfew(宵禁时间)。a punishment would be hitting or yelling at themDiscipline would be not letting them go out the next weekend because they fail to follow rules. we’ve all been there----we've caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat of the moment laid out a strict punishment. We may have been feeling hotheaded, embarrassedor dismayed. Often, though, these punishments aren’t aligned with the had behavior.‎ While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily it won’t provide childrenwith the guidance they need to act appropriately in the future. Instead of grounding, show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance a act differently.‎ This way, they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technologyThere is no denying it: technology is here for the long-haul. This is why some parenting experts don' recommend digitally grounding your children. It doesn’t focus on the end goal ofsafe behavior. They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible, rather than taking away their technology. By digitally grounding them, you are putting a bandage over the wound.rather than treating it.‎ Now, when we say that digital grounding is a lose-lose situation, we're not saying that disciplining your children in general is a lose-lose situation, Discipline is a great way to teachchildren lessons. when use appropriately.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is a form of discipline?‎ A.Hitting or yelling at children.‎ B.laying out a strict punishment in the heat of the moment C.Taking away access to cellphones from children D.Forbiding kids to go out the next weekend if they stay out past curfew.‎ ‎29.What does the author think of digital grounding?‎ A.lt benefits children greatly. B.It is no better than disciplining C.Parents can use it to correct kids' behavior. D.Neither parents nor children gain benefits from it ‎30.What does the author suggest parents do instead of grounding?‎ A.Give kids more free time. B.Act appropriately in public C.Help kids form good habits D.Put a bandage over the wound ‎31.What's the purpose of the text?‎ A.To inform us of ways of punishing kids.‎ B.To explain what digital grounding means.‎ C.To show how to parent children in digital times D.To prove digital grounding is not a good parenting way D Wherever agriculture has been practiced, pests have attacked and destroyed part or even all of the crop.In modern age, the term pest includes animals (mostly insects), plants, bacteria, and viruses.Human efforts to control pests have a long history.Even in Neolithic times (新石器时代), farmers practiced a form of biological pest control involving the more or less unconscious selection of seed from resistant plants.The scientific study of pests was not undertaken until the 17th and 18th centuries.In his Natural History, the Roman author Pliny the Elder describes picking insects from plants by hand and spraying.The first successful large-scale battle against a serious disease by chemical means was in Europe in the 1840s.The disease, brought from the Americas, was controlled first by spraying pesticide (农药).Another serious outbreak caused food shortage in Ireland in 1845 and some succeeding years and severe losses in many other parts of Europe and the United States.Insects and bacteria from Europe became serious pests in the United States, too.‎ The first book to deal with pests in a scientific way was John Curtis’s Farm Insects, published in 1860.Though farmers were well aware that insects caused losses, Curtis was the first writer to call attention to their significant economic impact.The successful battle for control of the Colorado potato beetle (甲壳虫) of the western ‎ United States also occurred in the 19th century.When miners and pioneers brought the potato into the Colorado region, the beetle fell upon this crop and became a severe pest, spreading steadily eastward and ruining crops, until it reached the Atlantic.It crossed theocean and eventually established itself in Europe.But an American scientist in 1877 found a practical control method consisting of spraying with water-insoluble chemicals.It was used successfully against the beetle.‎ Since many pesticides available in the 19th century were comparatively weak, other pest-control methods were used as well.A species of ladybird beetle was imported from Australia to California to kill the Colorado potato beetle.‎ ‎32.How did farmers control pests in Neolithic times?‎ A.By picking insects from plants by hand. B.By spraying chemicals on a large scale.‎ C.By controlling the number of the crops. D.By selecting best seeds from resistant crops.‎ ‎33.When did people begin to research the pest control systematically?‎ A.By the end of the 18th century. B.During the 17th and 18th centuries.‎ C.In 1845. D.In 1860.‎ ‎34.What can be inferred about the Colorado potato beetle?‎ A.It was native to Colorado. B.It has changed into a new species.‎ C.It was finally under control in 1877. D.It was completely killed in Colorado region.‎ ‎35.What can be the best title of the text?‎ A.The Common Crop Disease in History B.The Battles against Pests in Early History C.Survival of the Fittest—the History of Pests D.Beginnings of Pest and Disease Control in Crops ‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Communication skills: What is active listening?‎ Active listening is a special way of communicating. Its goal is to make it easier for people to clearly express ideas and feelings. It can lead to a better understanding between a speaker and a listener.‎ Active listening can be guided by a third person, such as a therapist (治疗专家).___36____Active listening works best when the speaker and the listener sit facing each other. The two people take turns talking. The goal is for listener to give full attention to the speaker.

Family members and co-workers often have bad listening habits. They react to each other based on what they expect the other person to say rather than on what is actually said.___40____‎ A. Doing that lets the speaker know how well you understood what was said.‎ B. You do not have to agree on everything.‎ C. Or, it can be done by two people on their own.‎ D. Instead, focus on understanding what is being said.‎ E. Active listening gives them a way to break this pattern.‎ F. The speaker and the listener then switch roles.‎ G.
