There are plenty of budget-conscious activities. It won’t cost you a coin to visit Santo Domingo del Cerro, an outdoor sculpture park. Wanting something sweet? Head to ChocoMuseo. Admission is free and so are the samples!‎ Odessa, Ukraine Odessa is having a bit of a tourism boom nationwide-not that we’re surprised, given its sandy beaches and pastel-colored buildings-but it’s still fairly under the order for international audiences. You can also count on this port city for affordable fun. Tickets to the Odessa Opera House start at a mere $ 2!‎ Bogotá, Colombia ‎“Travelers on budget will find Colombia’s vast capital. far more of a bargain and every bit as fascinating,” says Hudson. “It’s free to visit Museo de Oro and on Sundays many of the big roads are closed to accommodate food carts, street entertainers, and pedestrians.”‎ Zanzibar Zanzibar attracts vacationers with its white sand beaches, greenish-blue tides, colorful coral reefs, and oceanfront seaside. Of course, wandering in historic Stone Town is pretty appealing too. Either way, you needn’t spend a penny in this amazing place. It’s also worth noting that Jozani Forest is the only place in the world you can see endangered red colobus monkeys.‎ ‎21. Which of the following requires admission fee?‎ A. ChocoMuseo. B. Stone Town.‎ C. Museo de Oro. D. Odessa Opera House.‎ ‎22. What is special to Zanzibar?‎ A. White sand beaches. B. Colorful coral reefs.‎ C. Red colobus monkeys. D. Historic Stone Town.‎ ‎23.

But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew nothing about the weapons most often used in murder. “ I don’t think I dare look at a really horrible and damaged body, ” Agatha Christie once said.‎ But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In her 50-year writing profession, Christie’s murder stories made her the world’s best-known mystery writer. Only the Bible and Shakespeare's works have sold more copies than her.‎ Her novels have been turned into films and TV scenes. This month, British TV announced they will remake eight Christie films. “Her work has continuing appeal for viewers,” said director Laura Mackie. “There is always a desire for a really good detective novel. ”‎ Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing career while working as a nurse during World War I. She went on to produce 79 novels and lots of short stories, dying at the age of 86. With her knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies.‎ Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among the most popular are Murder on the Orient Express (1934) and Death on the Nile (1937).‎ Poirot is a tidy little man with a funny-looking moustache, an egg-shaped head and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the behaviour of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others cannot see. Poirot has become so famous that someone has even written his biography, The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot.‎ ‎24.What kind of works did Agatha Christie write?‎ A. Love stories. B. Documentary books.‎ C. Adventure stories. D. Murder stories.‎ ‎25.What can we infer from the text about Christie?‎ A. She joined the Army in World War I B. She has been a teacher at a police academy C. She is the third best-selling writer in the world D. She has had all her novels turned into films ‎26.From Mackie's view, why do Christie's novels have continuous appeal for viewers?‎ A. Because she is well-known to the whole world.‎ B. Because she has a good knowledge of weapons.‎ C. Because people have a desire to learn about murders happening.‎ D. Because people are longing to read really good detective novels.‎ ‎27.What is Hercule Poirot?‎ A. He is Christie’s co-worker. B. He is the hero in many of Christie’s works.‎ C. He is a real police officer. D. He is the writer who wrote a biography of Christie.‎ C A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important . These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes ‎ connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿）connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.‎ Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern“A-B-B”. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the" A-B-B"pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. ‎ Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.“Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference:'John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”‎ Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books,the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies －regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio－learned nothing.‎ ‎28. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?‎ A. Having a higher IQ. B. Experiencing new information.‎ ‎ C. The baby’s early age. D. The connection with other babies.‎ ‎29. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?‎ A. Babies identify different sound patterns. ‎ B. Word order is relevant to meaning. ‎ C. Babies can well understand different words.‎ D. A certain brain region processes language.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?‎ A. Grammar is important in learning languages.‎ B. Different orders have different meanings.‎ C. Different languages have different grammar.‎ D. Words have different sounds.‎ ‎31. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?‎ A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.‎ B. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain ‎ C. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop D. Social communication improves babies’ brain development. ‎ D Imagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school 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 (二维码) 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 ears.‎ Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric(生物识别的) 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. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined. “Biometrics are ideally good, but in practice, not so much” said John Michener, a biometrics expert. ‎ When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddi, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. 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, according to tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.”‎ ‎32. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?‎ A. QR code scanning.    B. Face scanning.    C. Fingerprint scanning.    D. Eye scanning.‎ ‎33. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system?‎ A. It takes too long to unlock the phone.‎ B. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.‎ C. Face data could be used for other purposes.‎ D. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.‎ ‎34. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?‎ A. It’s as secure as traditional measures.‎ B. It has caused much trouble for the police.‎ C. It should be used with other security measures.‎ D. It is perfect without any room for improvement.‎ ‎35. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.‎ A. describe the popularity of biometrics B. show how biometrics has changed our lives C. point out various problems with biometrics D. discuss the security problems of biometrics 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。‎ There are several different types of fire departments.

I’ll tell you why, after a bit of 41 .‎ I spent my first 20 years in the mountains of the Carolinas, one of the places God 42 when he looked at his creation and said, “Oh my.” For the next three decades, I lived on the 43 of California, another “oh my” kind of place, in a house near the beach with three headstrong children and their basketball 44 father.‎ Then the children 45 up to be headstrong adults, and we lost the coach to cancer. So I spent some years 46 in my “family museum” with four bedrooms, five sets of dishes, a 47 basketball court and a whole lot of great memories.

Perhaps you’re wondering what sort of woman grows up in the Bible Belt, raises her children in Paradise, and 53 on the outskirts of Sin‎ ‎City?‎ That would be me, a woman who has tried, no matter what happened, to 54 her heart wherever it may lead. Growing up, if I was 55 , my grandma would say: “Honey, follow your heart. It’s a good heart. Trust it.”‎ I had no idea what she meant, not 56 today. But in Sunday school, I learned that the heart is a container for love—the love of God, the love of family and friends, the love of all that we hold dear—and that it speaks to us with the voice of love, always in a whisper.‎ ‎57 , I learned to listen for that whisper. It’s hard to hear it sometimes over other voices—logic, anger, envy, jealousy, insecurity and such. They don’t whisper. They 58 . But listen closely. You can spot it.‎ So why do I feel lucky? Here I am in an “oh my” kind of place on an “oh my” kind of day. I followed my heart from the mountains to the coast to the desert.
