Aged just 15, she began studying what happens to oil when it's left on the ocean’s surface. The teenager discovered that when it’s hit by UV rays from the sun, oil reacts to form chemicals which cause cancer.‎ Cavé has turned her work into two patents for methods of detecting(发现)the dangerous chemicals.‎ Wang Sunming and Li ‎Jingpeng‎, ‎China Realizing the extent to which bacteria spread on public door handles, Wang and Li sought a material—titanium oxide (钛白粉) —that could adequately kill ‎ bacteria. However, the chemical isn’t very effective unless exposed to UV rays. Since most door handles are inside buildings—beyond the reach of UV rays from the sun, Wang and Li turned to LED lights and created a LED door handle. When a person touches the handle, the UV light switches on, activating (使活跃) the titanium oxide on it and instantly killing 99.8 percent of the bacteria that might otherwise have been spread.‎ Julian Rios Cantu, ‎Mexico This inventor was just 13 years old when his mother was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer. He watched in horror as the tumor (肿瘤) grew from the size of a green bean to the size of a golf ball.‎ After his mother recovered, Cantu set out to protect others from the disease. He developed a wearable device that may be able to detect the early signs of breast cancer. If the project succeeds, it can save millions of lives. ‎ 21. Why did Cavé begin studying oil left on the ocean’s surface?‎ A. To test her unique prediction.‎ B. To prevent the oil overflowing. ‎ C. To apply for a patent on her invention. ‎ D. To find the cause of baby dolphins’ deaths.‎ ‎22. What is special about the bacteria-killing door handle?‎ A. The titanium oxide is an active chemical.‎ B. LED lights are used to provide power at night.‎ C. The UV light causes titanium oxide to kill bacteria.‎ D. The design has made it an affordable choice for most.‎ ‎23. What can we learn from the teenagers mentioned in the text?‎ A. The problems of today are all solved by teenagers.‎ B. They are highly educated and truly creative.‎ C. A good beginning makes a good ending.‎ D. Necessity is the mother of invention.‎ B I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the ‎ world to ride a roller-coaster. I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.‎ I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo‎ ‎Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.‎ I wasn’t nervous and I didn’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.‎ People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that was got a year earlier.‎ My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.‎ I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.‎ ‎24. Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?‎ A. Because he was told not to do so.‎ B. Because he thought it spun too fast.‎ C. Because he considered it too gentle.‎ D. Because he was in a bad physical condition.‎ ‎25. How did the author most probably react while riding the roller-coaster?‎ A. He really enjoyed himself. ‎ B. He was very worried at first.‎ C. He couldn’t think much about it. ‎ D. He got frightened as it started moving.‎ ‎26. What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4?‎ A. He was eager to get certificates.‎ B. He disliked showing off his success. ‎ C. He was the oldest person in the world. ‎ D. He set a record the year before last year.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎27. What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A. healthy. B. strong. C. crazy. D. funny.‎ C The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners’ understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage (针灸、拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S.‎ swimmer Michael Phelps’ back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.‎ As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs (药草) play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore upsetting to know that while 103 WHO member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.‎ Herbs are made into pills, power and soup. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, and the chemical composition and functions of its medicines is unclear and their effects are unsteady. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.‎ Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new ‎ products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescription handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou’s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China’s TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.‎ ‎28. Why does the author mentioned the example of Michael Phelps?‎ A. Because he was injured in his swimming.‎ B. Because westerners know a little about TCM.‎ C. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.‎ D. Because westerners attached great importance to TCM.‎ ‎29. Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? ‎ A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.‎ B. Because Western medicine is more effective.‎ C.Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.‎ D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.‎ ‎30. Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The methods of planting herbs. B. Its stable functions.‎ C. Lacking in standardization. D. The effectiveness of prescription.‎ ‎31. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that________.‎ A. Prescription are got from the past B. Western companies are more experienced ‎ C. Medicine-making companies lack creativity D. Medicine-making companies lack driving force ‎ D I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary (革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents (住户) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.‎ Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.‎ That’s why inter-generational programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.‎ But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.‎ ‎32. Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read?‎ A. To argue for a new concept. B. To show his interest in the topic.‎ C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To draw our attention to a social problem.‎ ‎33. What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs?‎ A. To provide a good job opportunity for the young.‎ B. To bring the old and the young together.‎ C. To teach the young to respect the old.‎ D. To ask the old to care for the young.‎ ‎34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A. The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity in the world.‎ B. The inter-generational programs’ benefits to individuals.‎ C. The inter-generational programs all over the world.‎ D. The examples of inter-generational activities.‎ ‎35. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Building bridges for the old and the young.‎ B. A new concept in caring for the old is born.‎ C. Offering a warm home for the young.‎ D. Being old is no more sad.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Have you ever thought about it? Computers of the future might replace humans. Some researchers have proposed that computers will have inbuilt intelligence. And, the computer networking will be sure to result in the death of “distance”. 36 ‎ Looking at the history of computers, we realize they’ve developed from simple electronic calculators to modern handheld devices. Great scientists of the old times have brought brilliant advances to computing. 37 Computers can perform operations with great precision (精确度）and at very high speeds.‎ What does the future hold for computer technology? Well, the future generations might cooperate with robots. 38 They may be employed for repetitive tasks that may threaten people’s lives. Computer researchers also picture the birth of fully developed artificial intelligence. Robots and artificial intelligence may make it possible for daily chores and difficult tasks at work to be performed without humans.‎ ‎ 39 Owing to their small size, it’ll be easy to include them into the smallest devices, thus increasing their use. Their higher computation speeds will make many operations easier and further save human efforts and time.‎ In addition, computers may be able to communicate with humans like humans because they may be able to understand the context of words, thus making them better at understanding human language. 40 Anyway, computers have a bright future.‎ A. Robots may replace workers in various fields.‎ B. Together, they may work wonders in many fields.‎ C. So the world will become a very small place to live in.‎ D. Computers of the future are going to be faster and smaller.‎ E. There are some other possibilities about the future of computers.‎ F. But modern computer technology has replaced humans in trying tasks.‎ G. In the future, they may be able to analyze like humans do and understand humor.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45 分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Years ago, we celebrated our oldest son’s first birthday by holding a super party.
