The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”.‎ Say Something by A Great Big World—A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is very little playing but beautiful.‎ American Pie by Don McLean—Another song from my youth in the 80s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the ‎ key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.‎ The Weight by The Band—Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me.‎ Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers—This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about the “city of angel” being as “lonely as I am. (Don t worry! I have plenty of friends now.)‎ ‎1．Which song is introduced by one of the author’s student?‎ A. The Weight B. Say Something C. American Pie D.

I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.‎ ‎    He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.‎ ‎    We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man's knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.‎ ‎    At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.‎ ‎    My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is — what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?‎ 4. Why was the man sitting on the subway station's floor?‎ A .Because he wanted to go home. B .Because he was seriously ill.‎ C .Because he was waiting for the train. D .Because he was drunk.‎ 5.

What can we infer from the passage?‎ A .I helped the man the moment I saw him.‎ B .I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.‎ C .I accompanied the man to take the stairs.‎ D .A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.‎ C Over 10 years ago, scientists already recognized the potential smart cloths with sensors (传感器) could improve well-being. Nowadays the industry is starting to target specific health conditions. One example is diabetes(糖尿病). Now, Siren Care has developed an injury-detecting sock that could help people with diabetes prevent disability. Early detection is important in this process. Since skin ulcers (溃疡) are accompanied by a rise in temperature, studies show that detecting foot skin temperature at home could significantly reduce skin ulcers. Based on this, Siren produced a sock that can measure foot temperature in real time.‎ What’s special about Siren’s product is that the sensors exist in the fabric of the sock. The product is powered by “SirenSmart”, a kind of electronic yarn (纱线). They weave the yarn into a sock using ordinary weaving machines and connect the final product to a PCB battery, whose lifetime is two months if used daily. The socks are only on when they’re worn; they go into sleep mode when off.‎ All data from the socks is sent to the Siren app using Bluetooth technology, so the user can know the condition of his/her feet in real time. The application gives foot health scores and, when necessary, warns the user to adjust activity or see a healthcare professional.‎ Ran Ma, the company’s CEO, explains the sock can tell the user when to see a doctor. The socks are machine-washable, and don’t need to be charged. Every six months, the user gets a new box with seven pairs of socks to replace the used ones.‎ Siren presented their product this year in Las Vegas and announced that they’re planning to start shipping their socks this summer. More excitingly, Siren is already planning future applications that will go beyond diabetes care. Anyway, as smart clothing becomes accessible, you’ll begin to see this health technology become more common.‎ ‎8．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A．The importance of early detection. B．The problem with skins.‎ C．The cause of skin ulcers. D．The result of the study. ‎ ‎9．What can we learn about Siren’s smart sock from the second paragraph?‎ A．It can be charged. B．It is sensitive to skins.‎ C．Its sensors can be seen. D．It is comfortable to wear.‎ ‎10．What should be the function of the smart sock?‎ A．It cures its user of possible illness.‎ B．It assists its user to make a quicker recovery.‎ C．It informs its user of his/her foot health.‎ D．It tests its user’s physical strength in real time.‎ ‎11．What does the author think of the smart clothing industry?‎ A．It has a bright future. B．It is a profitable industry.‎ C．It is readily available. D．It has widely applied.‎ D As is known to us all,VAR technology has been used in U.S.‎ sports for years. However, it was fully combined with the global game of soccer and made its debut(首次亮相) at the 2018 World Cup . VAR stands for video assistant ‎ referee. It is actually a team who work together to review certain decisions made by the main referee by watching video replays.‎ The VAR team supported the referees from a centralized video room. The operators selected and provided the best angles from the relevant broadcast cameras plus two additional offside cameras. Throughout a match they are constantly checking for mistakes. They will communicate with the referees only for clear and obvious errors or serious missed incidents. The referee can delay the restart of play at any time to communicate with the VAR team. Once they decide an incident is reviewable, the referee would start an official review. Then they will make a decision based on the information received from the VAR team.‎ The use of video technology is a hot topic among football watchers. Some fans believe that VAR causes too many interruptions, disrupting the flow of the game. But others just want a fair match and to see the correct call no matter what. They argue disruptions already take place as angry players crowd around a referee following a controversial decision. VAR can serve to remove such scenes and get the game moving again. With much money put into modern football, governing bodies are now under great pressure to see that the correct decisions are made on the pitch and VAR is a sure step in that.‎ 12. What is VAR?‎ A. very angry referee B. cameras ‎ C. video assistant referee D. operators who can stop the game ‎13. According to Paragraph 2,who can decide the play?‎ A. Camera assistant B. The main referee ‎ C. VAR team D. The audience ‎14. What is the author’s attitude towards VAR?‎ A. unconcerned B. negative ‎ C. positive D. controversial ‎15. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. The football match B. VAR used in all sports ‎ C. The main referee’s bless or disguise D. VAR appearing at World Cup 第二节（共5个小题；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项。‎ Brush, ink, inkstone and paper are known as the Four Treasures of the Scholar’s Studio. 16 ．‎ The brush pen was used as early as the seventh or sixth century BC．The holder is usually made of bamboo. Different from the pen we use today, the tip of the brush pen is soft and big. 17 ．The animal hair used is extremely important to the quality of the brush, but the material for the holder is relatively less important.‎ The brush was used with ink, basically made from pine soot (松烟) or lampblack and glue with many other kinds of additives. 18 ．A writer then rubs the dry ink stick against an inkstone, a polished and often decorative piece of stone with a shallow bowl carved into one end. Water is added to the shallow bowl, while the writer moves the ink stick in a circular motion (运动) to form dark, liquid ink. 19 ．‎ Archaeological (考古学的) evidence shows paper was invented around the first century BC．People used materials such as raw hemp (生麻) and tree bark to produce paper. 20 ．By the third century, paper was already widely used instead of traditional writing materials such as bamboo slips and silks.‎ A．It is usually made of wolf, rabbit, or goat hair.‎ B．Brush pens were used to write and paint as well.‎ C．Ink is kept as a solid, dry stick until ready for use.‎ D．Since these materials were readily available, paper was inexpensive to produce.‎ E. In the past, the scholar-official class used these treasures as tools of writing.‎ F. So some inkstones with fine decorations can fetch really high prices on the market.‎ G.
