What do the four classes have in common?‎ A. They are intended for teens. B. Experience is unnecessary.‎ C. They last over a month. D. Class time is optional.‎ B I am often homesick. I have learned something about myself from it. I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s milder winters, I willingly bear the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.‎ I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.‎ So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate, too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.‎ I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)‎ While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?‎ ‎24. What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?‎ A. Winters in Florida are milder. B. The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.‎ C. Weather in Florida is severer. D. Florida is nearer to the ocean. ‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Coincidence. B. Expectation. C. Unwillingness. D. Motivation.‎ ‎26. Which of the following words can best describe the author?‎ A. Homesick and easy-going. B. Hard-working and serious.‎ C. Imaginative and outspoken. D. Anxious and painful.‎ ‎27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To describe his dream to be a free bird.‎ B. To express his feeling of missing his hometown.‎ C. To praise the beauty and warmth of his family life.‎ D. To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.‎ C The typical British employees can expect to spend about £34,000 during their whole working life on the daily costs of being in the office, including tea runs and leaving gifts for colleagues, according to research.‎ A survey of 2,000 office workers across the UK found that the combined cost of Christmas parties and dinners, cards and presents, coffees and teas, sponsorship (赞助) requests, Secret Santa and etc. totaled about £850 a year. Over the course of a 40-year career, that would amount to about £34,000, according to Nationwide Current Account, which carried out the survey.‎ Men generally tend to be unhappier than women about spending money at work, but women are more likely to feel stressed into paying out for work-related items. 42% of men were unhappy about spending money at work Christmas parties, compared with 34% of women. But one in five women said they felt under pressure to spend money at work Christmas parties, compared with just 12% of men.‎ Overall, more than a quarter of people surveyed said they felt pressured when it came to contributing towards birthday and leaving gifts, with 27% of people saying this about gifts for colleagues who were leaving.‎ Nearly 32% said they felt pressured into contributing money to help their colleagues’ charity fund raising efforts.‎ Alan Oliver, Nationwide’s head of external affairs, said, “Working in an office can be an expensive business, especially in big teams. Too many birthdays, retirements and charity fundraisers can take their toll on our wallets and purses. We would recommend putting in only what you can afford. Developing a regular savings habit can also help in meeting many of future life’s financial challenges.”‎ ‎28. Which one is right according to the passage?‎ A. Most of people in the UK are disturbed by the office cost according to the survey.‎ B. The office cost is not a small sum to some people in the UK.‎ C. Men are more generous than women according to the survey.‎ D. There are not many items in the office on which people have to spend money in the UK.‎ ‎29. Compared with men, women’s reaction to spending money at work Christmas parties is .‎ A. more satisfied B. unhappier C. less concerned D. more stressed ‎30. What does Alan Oliver advise office workers to do?‎ A. Work in big teams. B. Save money for future use.‎ C. Get along well with colleagues. D. Raise enough money to do charity.‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. The Management of Personal Finance B. Relations Among the UK Office Workers C. Levels of Happiness of the UK Office Workers D. The Daily Cost of the UK Employees in an Office ‎ D ‎ China is developing a system that recognizes individuals by their body shape and walking movements. Systems that recognize human faces are already being used to identify people in crowds or as a secure way to unlock personal devices.‎ ‎ The new system, known as "gait recognition," is already being used by police on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai. The Chinese technology company Watrix developed the system. The company announced last month that it had raised $14.5 million to speed up the development and sale of the technology.‎ ‎ The system works in a similar way to face recognition. Cameras capture video of people in public places. Then, machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) examine and study the video. Facial recognition systems identify the shapes and expressions on a person's face to identify them. Gait recognition uses a person's body shape and their way of walking to identify them. The system records a person's shape and movements and then creates a model of the way they walk.‎ ‎ Huang Yongzhen is a former researcher who co-founded Watrix in 2016. He told the Associated Press his system can identify people from up to 50 meters away. It is designed to work even when a person's face is covered or hidden. Successful facial recognition usually requires clear, close-up images of a person's face.‎ ‎ Currently, the Watrix system is not able to identify people in real-time. Users have to enter video into the system, which then takes about 10 minutes to process each hour of video. Huang says his gait recognition system is correct 94 percent of the time. This is below the success rate of many face recognition systems. But he says the system can still be helpful to police and for other commercial purposes. He also believes the system can be effective when used together with face recognition.‎ ‎ "You don't need people's cooperation for us to be able to recognize their identity," Huang told the AP. "People still don't recognize they can be recognized by their gait, whereas everybody knows you can be recognized by your face," he added. He said the system would not easily be misled by a person changing their usual way of walking or other body movements. This is because the AI system is designed to examine all movements over the entire body. "We believe you are totally unique in the way you ‎ walk," Huang said.‎ ‎32. How does the Watrix system work？‎ A. By identifying the shapes and expressions on a person's face.‎ B. By identifying person's body shape and their way of walkimg.‎ C. By identifying clear and close-up images of a person’s face.‎ D. By identifying people in real-time.‎ ‎33. According to Huang Yongzhen, which one of the following statements of “gait recognition” is true？‎ A. The success rate of it is higher than that of face recognition systems.‎ B. It fails to work without clear images of a person’s face.‎ C. All attempts to identify people are not always correct.‎ D. It takes less than 10 minutes to process each hour of video.‎ ‎34.How many mistakes might it have if the “gait recognition system” identify 3000 people?‎ A.180 B.2820 C.120 D.2880‎ ‎35. Which of the following will lead to a wrong recognition by the Watrix system?‎ A. To change your usual way of walking.‎ B. To change your body movements deliberately.‎ C. To cover your face.‎ D. To walk 100 meters away from the system.‎ 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。‎ Rise and shine all day Making these easy tasks part of your morning schedule will improve your nutrition, energy, ‎ and mood today—and beyond.‎ Stretch in bed ‎ Try this even before you open your eyes. Lift one arm and begin by stretching each finger, then your hand, then your wrist, and then your whole arm.36. Then stretch ‎ your toes, feet, ankles, and legs. Finally, end with a neck and back stretch that propels you out of bed. This “power pose” makes you feel more confident all day long.‎ ‎37‎ Working out before you eat encourages your body to burn more fat for energy rather than relying on carbohydrates from food. In a study, participants who exercised after breakfast still gained weight, but those who exercised on an empty stomach did not. ‎ Turn on the music ‎38. If anyone plays an instrument, and if you have a little time, morning is the perfect time to practice, as it primes your brain for learning. One study found that both playing and listening to music help improve academic performance in 16 different ways, including increasing focus and memory.‎ Enjoy some fun Many people dread having to face a new day of work, school, or chores.39. This can be having a cup of coffee as you read your favorite blog, etc. Choose activities you enjoy and that set you on a good path for the day You’ve improved your state of mind, your health, and your productivity—all before the weekday has even begun.40.‎ A. Pick something energetic that you and others in the house enjoy and put it on while you get ready ‎ B. Now you’re ready to conquer your to-do list for today and every day C. Do regular exercise in the morning D. Move on to the other arm E. Exercise a bit—On an empty stomach F. Take up the entire length of the bed when you stretch G. But if the first thing you do is pleasant, you’ll find it much easier to get going 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。‎ Until I was 13, I assumed I was just like everyone else. But one day I read a piece of paper in my dad’s briefcase that 41 everything. That’s when I saw the words: “Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome(阿斯伯格综合症).” I screamed at my dad, “Tell me what it is!” He 42 that I have a mild form of brain disorders, which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people. I wasn’t sure exactly what he 43 , but it didn’t matter. I just wanted to try to 44 my shock and go back to the way things were before I knew.  But even though I wouldn’t 45 acknowledge the news, Asperger’s still destroyed my confidence and made me 46 and isolated. I felt like an outcast(被抛弃者)---not just because Asperger’s made it hard for me to make friends, but because now I had this 47 . I just wanted to be like everyone else. 48 , at 16, I said to myself, “Enough! You can’t run and hide from it, girl. Just face it.” It’s funny, the first time I thought something was 49 was not because of what I couldn’t do ---- it was because of what i could do. In the sixth grade, while other kids were 50 with spelling, I was like a human spell-checker! I’ve also had a photographic memory, and 51 I call my “super powers”---extrasensory（超感官的） hearing and acute awareness: I can 52 phone numbers people dial just by the sound the buttons make when pressed or 53 hear one sour（别扭的） note in an entire symphony（交响乐）! And I can 54 pay attention to two things at once. ‎ Don’t get me wrong. Asperger’s can be very confusing. For years I felt like a butterfly 55 ‎ in its cocoon(茧），waiting to emerge. It took years of work with a psychologist to 56 the difficulty of making friends. ‎ I’m not going to let Asperger’s create 57 for me. That’ why I am happy to have found out about and faced my 58 . Asperger’s is a metaphor(象征) for life: We all have 59 , but the key is to be able to have the 60 to face what’s bad about them and still find what’s good.  41.
