You can click the links to find more information.‎ Biltmore Estate ‎ The Biltmore Estate in North Carolina is the largest home in the United States and comes in at 135,280 square feet. The house was built for the Vanderbilt family and had 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms and was officially opened in 1895, six years after construction started. In 1930, the house became open to the public.‎ The Breakers ‎ The Vanderbilt family built The Breakers in Rhode Island, which is the 21st -largest home in the United States at 62,482 square feet. The Italian Renaissance-style features building materials imported from Italy and Africa. The 70-room house became a National Historic Landmark in 1994.‎ Camp’s Bay ‎ We’ll continue to stay well with this beautiful house in South Africa. The views from this house are better than any houses as you can look out to ‎ the ocean from the back and take a look at the mountains from the front.‎ Cove Spring House ‎ For ＄40 million you can pick up this 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom house in St.James, Barbados. It was designed using coral（珊瑚）stone with Palladian/Georgian architecture style.

It has become very clear to me that young people in our primary and secondary schools are in need of learning ‎ important lifesaving skills.‎ ‎ I have been a CER( Community First Responder) for over five years. After jumping at the opportunity of training to become a CFR Tutor, I chose to continue training and became a fully certified first aid instructor. This led to the birth of Impulse First Aid, my newly established business, specializing in the teaching of emergency first aid to children, parents, schools and small business.‎ ‎ Unfortunately, my business stopped at the start of the summer holidays in 2018 due to a riding accident, which left me with a broken back. Thankfully, with support of our ambulance service(SECAmb) and the team at St George’s Hospital, I have been able to continue my devotion to teaching, and I love every second of it!‎ ‎ Every child should be taught first aid, and what they can do to help in the event of a medical emergency. The several hours in the classroom, could, and have proven to help children develop and be confident in their newfound skills. Understanding what a defibrillator（除颤器）is, and learning how to use one in addition to basic lifesaving skills are incredibly valuable and rewarding skills to have.‎ ‎ With the government’s recent plans to teach CPR （心肺复苏）as part of the must-do first aid training from 2020, a big difference could be made, and many lives could be saved. It is known that less than 1 in 10 people survived an out-of -hospital cardiac arrest（心脏骤停）in the UK. Proving ‎ the children with the tools and confidence to perform these invaluable skills would be fantastic. They can help others when necessary, while also knowing how to look out for themselves.‎ 1. What did the author choose to do after becoming a CFR Tutor?‎ A. Focus on building the SECAmb.‎ B. Find a job in her local community.‎ C. Become a professional first aid trainer.‎ D. Teach her two children lifesaving skills.‎ 2. Why didi the author’s business stop in the summer of 2018?‎ A. She wasn’t good at operating it.‎ B. Her physical condition didn’t allow it.‎ C. Her interest was directed to ambulance service.‎ D. She was too busy with her work at St George’s Hospital.‎ 3. What can we infer about the author’s courses?‎ A. They last about an hour each time.‎ B. They were aimed at primary students.‎ C. They cover the use of some first aid instruments.‎ D. They were started after the author’s riding accident.‎ 4. What’s the author’s attitude towards the government’s recent plans?‎ A. Critical B. Anxious C. Unconcerned D. Supportive C Individually, ants have only so much strength and intelligence. However, as ‎ a group, they can use complex strategies to complete complicated tasks and escape from larger predators（捕食者）.‎ ‎ Robotics researchers in Professor Jamie Paik’s Laboratory have reproduced this characteristic. They’ve developed tiny robots that display small physical intelligence on an individual level but that are able to communicate and act collectively（共同地). Though being simple in design and weighing only 10 grams, each robot has many different movement patterns to go through any type of surface. Collectively, they can quickly discover and overcome obstacles（障碍）， and move objects much larger and heavier than themselves. The related research has been published in Nature.‎ ‎ These three- legged, T-shaped robots are called Tribots. They can be made in only a few minutes by folding some thin, multi-material boards. That means they’re suitable to be produced in quantity. Completely self-acting and wireless, Tribots are equipped with infrared（红外线的）and close-range sensors（传感器）for exploration and communication purposes. They could have even more sensors, depending on the application. So they can be widely used in various situations.‎ ‎ “ Their movements are modeled on those of Odontomachus ants. These insects normally crawl, but to escape a predator, they jump from leaf to leaf” says Zhenishbek Zhakypov, the lead researcher. Tribots copy this jumping ability through an elegant foldable design that combines several ‎ drivers made from shape-memory materials. As a result, a single robot can produce five movements: jumping up, jumping forward, turning over to clear obstacles, walking on waved ground and crawling on flat surface--just like the real ants.‎ ‎ Although these robots have the same structure, each of them is given a specific role in the group, depending on the situation. “ Explorers” find out physical obstacles in their path, such as objects, valleys and mountains. After discovering an obstacles, they inform the “leader” of the situation. Then, the “leader” gives the instructions. After that, the “workers” gather up their strength to move objects.‎ 1. What is special about the newly-developed robots?‎ A. They can move large objects individually.‎ B. They are designed to have the same legs as ants.‎ C. They can communicate and cooperate with each other.‎ D. They are created completely by researchers’ imagination.‎ 2. What does Paragraph 3 imply?‎ A. Tribots have many different shapes.‎ B. Tribots can work collectively with sensors.‎ C. Tribots are actually made out of cheap materials.‎ D. Tribots are very likely to have a promising future.‎ 3. Tribots can jump like real ants mainly due to_____‎ A. their special materials. B. the foldable design ‎ C. their light weight D. the smart sensors 1. What will the “explorers” do when they find an obstacles?‎ A. Move it away by themselves ‎ B. Ignore it and change their path.‎ C. Send a message to the “leader”‎ D. Order the “workers” to deal with it.‎ D Having friends at work is not only key to your personal Happiness, but also important for having a successful career. In fact, it makes you more likely to be involved in your job.‎ ‎ A new survey by job site Comparably found that of over 33,000 workers across the tech industry, more than half report having best friends at work. While 60 percent of women said they have a close friend at work, 56 percent of men admitted having work BFFs (Best Friends Forever) as well.‎ ‎ “One of the most important things to have in the workplace is a close relationship,” Comparably CEO Jason Nazar said. “ So very often the largest source of stress for people is a boss, co-worker or the day-to-day pressure of work.” “The fact that more than half of employees we surveyed have a best friend at work is a good sign,” Nazar adds. “ Having someone there to go through the good times and bad experiences with you is invaluable.”‎ ‎ Though men and women generally have close friends at almost equal ‎ rates, the percentage alters depending on your job role and level of work experience. People in entry- level jobs are least likely to say they have a best friend at work(53 percent), while 60 percent of those with one to six years of experience are most likely to say they do have one. In addition, tech executives （主管）, HR and business development employees report having firm friendships.‎ ‎ Even if you find yourself in a role where it may be more difficult to form and keep friendships, you should try to find someone who you can really talk with. This is Annie McKee, a happiness expert and Fortune 500 adviser’s recommendation. Having a close friend or two at work will help in the long run. “ Connecting with people improves our mood and boosts（增强）our confidence. And friendships provide us with the emotional and psychological strength to deal with whatever comes our way-whether it’s an exciting opportunity, a challenge or a crisis,” McKee said.‎ 1. What did the survey by Comparably find about workers across the tech industry?‎ A. Men often find it difficult to make friends with co-workers.‎ B. Women usually have more friends outside of work.‎ C. Many of men are under great pressure of work.‎ D. Most of them have close friends at work.‎ 2. What do Jason Nazar’s words mainly suggest?‎ A. A close friendship in the workplace is beneficial.‎ A. People should never share bad experiences at work.‎ B. Friends at work are more valuable than other friends.‎ C. Employees must build a good relationship with their boss.‎ 1. What does the underlined word “ alters” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. Varies B. Adds up C. Decreases D. Slows down.‎ 2. What’s Annie McKee’s attitude toward keeping friendships in the workplace？‎ A. Concerned B. Doubtful C. Approving D. Opposed 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。‎ Your home is your fortress(城堡), they say. It’s more than a place- it’s your personal space and your comfort zone.
