The rise of baby deaths rate.‎ ‎27.The passage sums up the one child policy by ________________.‎ A.  example B.    number    C. contrast     D. analysis C For as many as 8,000 years before European contact, the San Juan Islands were inhabited by the Northern Straits Salish peoples and other native people seasonally, preserving food in summer for winters spent elsewhere. All were drawn to the islands by the rich abundance of food and materials found here.‎ In the mid-1800s, a company came to the San Juan Islands following its numerous international trade routes. One employee, known as ＂Friday＂, settled alone the area ‎ of what is now the town of Friday Harbor. This caused many to refer to the place as ＂Friday’s Harbor＂.‎ By 1900, Friday Harbor had a population of only three or four hundred residents. Road and telephone networks linked the town to the rest of the island. The community was growing and many public facilities had added. What these buildings had in common was simplicity of design. They were attractive and functional, but without complex decoration. Typically, both residential and commercial buildings were built with local wood. Money was so little that it couldn’t be used for the unnecessary, and so most buildings were painted white, more for functional protection against rot, than for decoration. The town wore a poor look until the late 1960s, when tourism, retirement, real estate(房地产), construction, the arts and a variety of cottage industries began to take hold. Today, the town is again busy and booming. Over 6,000 people live in the town.‎ Though the traditional industries have all but vanished, there are still many visible reminders of the pioneer era — 100-year old orchards(果园), kitchen gardens, turn-of-the-century wooden buildings and companionable roof lines — all acquaint islanders and visitors alike with Friday Harbor’s spirited early days.‎ ‎28．How did the San Juan Islands help the ancients?‎ A．They provided them with a temporary shelter. ‎ B．They functioned as tourist spots. ‎ C．They protected them from colonial Europeans. ‎ D．They played a role as an international trade centre.‎ ‎29．Where did the name of Friday’s Harbor come from?‎ A．The name of the company. B．The day when it was found.‎ C．An international trade route. D．The first resident of the town.‎ ‎30．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?‎ A．The Friday Harbor’s future. B．The Friday Harbor’s development.‎ C．The Friday Harbor’s population. D．The Friday Harbor’s architect.‎ ‎31．What attracts visitors to the Friday Harbor?‎ A．The rich abundance of food. B．The busy but wealthy life.‎ C．The unique historic sites. D．The comfortable community.‎ D Because most Japanese people don’t really like the idea of having a roommate, a lot of these young people end up living alone, including young women. While Tokyo is much safer than large cities in many other countries, crimes do happen, and criminals often consider young women who live alone to be easy targets.‎ To help address this problem, and also to put the minds of female tenants (房客) at ease, apartment management company Leo Palace 21 has developed what it calls the Man on the Curtain system.‎ Using a projector (投影仪) controlled by a smartphone, Man on the Curtain throws an outline of a man onto your curtains, so that when people outside look at your windows, there will appear to be a guy inside, thus masking that you live alone. If you’re wondering how that’s better than just putting a cardboard cutout (剪贴画) by your window, Man on the Curtain is full-motion, projecting videos of actual actors for an extremely lifelike look.‎ Currently, the system has 12 different options, including such frightening routines as a bodybuilder working out with dumbbells, and a sports fan swinging a baseball bat around, which seems like it could double as a fitness video that you could do yourself together with your shadowy protector.‎ Since it’d be easy to infer that a short set pattern is a fake, each video is roughly 30 minutes long, with a variety of motions.‎ Granted, some of the options, such as the man vacuuming or playing guitar, aren’t going to be as effective if a would-be criminal is close enough to the window to notice the lack of sound. But the images themselves are very convincing.‎ ‎32.Which of the following statements is right?‎ A.Leo Palace 21 works on apartment affairs.‎ B. Ladies are easily robbed in Japan.‎ C. Only young ladies enjoy being alone. ‎ D.Tokyo is a city of no crime. ‎ ‎33.What is true about the Man on the Curtain System?‎ A. It’s a popular mobile APP. ‎ B. It can find criminal behaviors.‎ C.It’s mainly designed for female living alone.‎ D. It plays a vivid cartoon for tenants.‎ ‎34.What do we know about Paragraph 3?‎ A. People may think you are not alone. B. Cutouts aren’t effective at all.‎ C. Cutouts are better than the system. D. You can watch videos when alone.‎ ‎35. What can we infer about the system from the last paragraph?‎ A.It won’t be well received. B. Its video will last longer.‎ C. Its motions aren’t vivid enough. D. It may be improved by the company. ‎ 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。‎ Mary had feared the day she would draw a blank during a presentation. Then one day during a 45-minute speech, it happened. 36 . To help herself get back on track, Mary asked the audience to look at the handout and tell her what topic was up next. At the end of her presentation, audience members gave her top marks for organization.‎ ‎“What I learned is that the audience doesn’t care if you mess up, and what they care about is what you are going to do about it,” Mary said. “My nervousness went away when I concentrated not on myself, but instead just thought, ‘How is my speech going to help the audience?’ 37 .
