But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing.‎ Girls, here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur（企业家）and from your mama.‎ ‎1. Be open-minded to changing your path (even several times) along the way In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington‎, ‎DC. There I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I'm creative, a strong leader, and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag（储奶袋）business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.‎ Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about. Keep an open mind, the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas.‎ Don't waste your money or time, but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.‎ ‎2. Failure is critical to your success I won't tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better.‎ Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I've never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.‎ Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me. I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. It's okay to get angry! Take that and turn it into positive action.‎ I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.‎ Love, ‎ Your Mom ‎25.

She is a successful politician and entrepreneur. ‎ B. She used to work as a model. ‎ C. She values a lot about her experience of failing in the exam.‎ D.

One should not often ask for help but depend on himself. ‎ D. Stick to your way until you succeed.‎ C Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar（美洲豹）saw Jeb and his son Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.‎ ‎ Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.‎ ‎ "Tom, no! " shouted his father.‎ But Tom broke and ran and that's the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock.They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, leaving Tom alone, which was what Jeb wanted.‎ ‎ Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar's claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.‎ ‎"Knife, Tom," shouted Jeb.‎ The boy ran to his father's bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar's back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.‎ ‎ The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.‎ ‎28. Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?‎ ‎ A. To get ready to fight. B. To calm himself down.‎ ‎ C. To frighten it away. D. To protect his son.‎ ‎29.

Jeb tried to hold the cougar's attention by .‎ ‎ A. keeping shouting and hitting B. swinging his fists at the cougar's eyes ‎ C. throwing himself on the cougar D. making a wall with his arms ‎31. Which of the following words can be used to describe Jeb?‎ ‎ A. Smart but bad-tempered. B. Determined but hesitant ‎ C. Tough and warm- hearted. D. Loving and determined.‎ D Imagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.‎ Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric security (生物识别技术), which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular. ‎ In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.‎ But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.‎ ‎ “Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometrics expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”‎ When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.”‎ But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.‎ ‎“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan‎ State ‎University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”‎ Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter.‎ ‎“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.”‎ ‎32. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article? A. QR code scanning. B. Eye scanning. C. Face scanning. D. Fingerprint scanning. 33. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system? A. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face. B. It takes too long to unlock the phone. C. Face data could be used for other purposes. D. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone. 34. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security? A. It still needs much improvement. B. It should be used with other security measures. C. It’s more secure than traditional measures. D. It has caused much trouble for police. 35. The author wrote this article mainly to ______. A. discuss the security problems of biometrics B. show how biometrics has changed our lives C. describe the popularity of biometrics D. point out various problems with biometrics 第二节 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。‎ A god had a horse. The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities. 36 it especially wanted to become the most beautiful horse in the world.‎ One day the horse said to the god, “you have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. 37 But how I wish you could make me more beautiful! I would be extremely, extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.”‎ The god said, “I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. ‎38 ”‎ Then the horse said, “My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.‎ Then immediately the god made a camel appear in place of the horse. The horse was so sad that it started to cry, “Oh, no, I do not want to become a camel. 39 As a horse, everybody appreciated my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel.”‎ ‎ The god said, “ this is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel. 40 If you cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Each thing in my creation has its own good qualities. The camel is not as beautiful as you are, but it carries heavy loads and has a greater sense of duty.”‎ A. I wish you to change me into a horse again.‎ B. why not remain a horse?‎ C. I am so grateful to you.‎ D. Tell me in what way you want to be changed.‎ E.
