When the bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel, 5 Australian backpackers boarded and
struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers’ questions --- where was I going
and why was I traveling alone My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but
when I called her that morning, she didn’t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My
stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if l
traveled to Tiberius. where we had planned to go together.
“Why don’t you travel with us ” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced
adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their
current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in
London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers. but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I
explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and
interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into
the King David Hotel’s swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I
chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one
couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding.
The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since
then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky-dived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and
even moved across the U.S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends. I bumped into the woman I was
supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the
phone.
24. By “My stomach was in knots” (in Paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was
_________.
第 3页共 8页

B. sick of riding on a bumpy bus
D. upset about the sudden change

D. Warmhearted and trustworthy.
26. The author’s sixth sense told her that _________.

One third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don’t even
have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not
have basic digital literacy skills.
This situation is becoming appalling as over 10, 000 Americans turn 65 every single day.
By 2050, 22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast.
This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.
Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because
they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are
currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their
life expectancies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of
American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.
However. they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem: it’s
a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called “forced
retirement”. And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition
from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5
older workers experience prejudice.
The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the
forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate
today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring,
customer service, editing, research. book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open
the doors. But again. digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig
economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.
28. What does the underlined word “appalling” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A. Confusing.
B. Controllable.
C. Inspiring.
D. Terrible.
29. What problem may baby boomers face
A. Tending to double their life expediencies.
C. Failing to receive good healthcare.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Potential industries in the future.
B. A crisis after retirement.
D. Being knocked out in the future.
B. The features of high-tech jobs.
第 4页共 8页
C. The importance of developing technology.
D. The way out for baby boomers.
31. What does the author advise baby boomers to do
A. Improve digital literacy actively.
C. Have a good sense of crisis.
B. Look for many part-time jobs.
D. Avoid retiring at an early age.
D
Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack that could power their vehicle
for more than a thousand miles on a single charge. Researchers have developed a lithium-air
battery that could make that dream a reality. The new battery design could also one day power
airplanes and trucks. The main new component in this lithium-air battery is a solid electrolyte
instead of the usual liquid variety.
Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liquid
electrolytes used in lithium-ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire. More
importantly. the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy four times, which translates
into longer driving range.
For over a decade, scientists have been working overtime to develop a lithium battery that
makes use of the oxygen in air. The lithium-air battery has the highest energy of any battery
technology being considered for the next generation of batteries beyond lithium-ion.
The new solid electrolyte is composed of a material made from relatively inexpensive
pared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reaction in lithium-ion only
involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule, while that for lithium-air battery
involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy.
The new design is the first lithium-air battery that has achieved a four-electron reaction at
room temperature. It also operates with oxygen supplied by air from the surrounding
environment. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a
problem with earlier designs. “With further development. we expect our new design for the
lithium-air battery to reach a record of 1200 watt-hours per kilogram,” said Curtiss, a researcher.
“That is nearly four times better than lithium-ion batteries.”
32. What contributes most to the lithium-ion battery
A. Solid electrolytes.
B. Liquid component.
D. Oxygen molecules.
C. Lithium-ion.
33. What’s the problem with lithium-ion batteries
A. They burn easily if overheated.
C. They damage the environment.
34. How does the author organize Paragraph 4
A. By presenting statistics
B. They are unsafe in production.
D. They require longer charging time.
B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. Electric Cars Are Becoming More Popular
D. By making comparisons.
B. How Lithium-air Batteries Work
C. New Batteries Offer Longer Driving Range D. What will Be Used to Power Airplanes

Taking Care of Your Eyes
Many of us don’t pay much attention to eye care. It’s said that if you take care of your eyes,
you can surely be healthy.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes (基因) and
aging (老化). If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break
every once in a while.
Something dirty can cause redness and make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes,
too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. For example,
36
Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.
37
38
sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight
from UV rays.
39
Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that
have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight,
too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good
condition for a long time.
40
In a word, eye care is very important, however old a person is.
A. That’s why our eyes should be given lots of care.
B. All above are natural ways of eye care that can help us keep healthy eyes.
C. Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight.
D. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things.
E. Such behavior will do harm to our eyes.
F. What can we do to protect our eyesight
G. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of poor eyesight.

The official Christmas vacation finally came. Getting off the school bus, running all the
way home. and opening the door, expectedly I was welcomed by a wave of warm air and smells
of pine and oranges. I smiled, removing my coat and bag --- Christmas was just about here! Just
then, I heard an excited voice. “You’re home! Come play with me!” Rosely, my baby sister, sat
on the living room floor, surrounded by an army of Barbies. She looked at me eagerly, waiting
for my response.
I was in high school just then so I felt too old for Barbies and other childish things. I
hesitated, trying to think of an excuse that wouldn't make her cry, when a sudden idea came to
my mind. “I’ll play with you,” I said, “if you let me play with the red car.” The red car was what
Rosely loved most.
Rosely quickly grabbed the car. “No!” she screamed. She never let anyone else play with
the car. “Well,” I said, pleased with my cleverness, “I guess I can't play with you today.” As I
started walking to my room, Rosely called out to me, “Have you got my Christmas present yet ”
“Not yet, but I will,” I said. “I've got what I’m giving you,” said Rosely. She smiled and
added, “It's going to be the best present ever!” “I’m sure it will,” I said flatly. I still remembered
the handful of candies she had wrapped and handed me the year before.
The days leading up to Christmas went by quickly. The whole family spent Christmas
morning exchanging gifts. I had bought Melissa a cheap toy cat at the local Dollar Store. It was
not a of exchanging gifts was over, Dad joked, “We need a dump truck for all of this wrapping
paper.” He held the broom, preparing to sweep the floor.

Dear Mark,
How is everything More than delighted to learn you are passionate about Taichi! Here are
the details of the club activity last week.
As scheduled, all the members of the club gathered on the playground at 4 p.m. last Friday.
Mr. Li, a famous Taichi master in our city, was invited to give us a field lecture, which lasted for
about 1 hour. Under his patient and inspiring guidance, we quickly mastered some new moves.
Through the activity, we knew more about Chinese Taichi.
Best wishes! Looking forward to your early reply.

第二节
“Wait, Daddy!” said my sister: “There's one more gift.” Then Rosely took out the last gift
she had hidden from the Christmas tree. It was clear she had wrapped it herself. It had at least four
layers of paper. With bright eyes and a smile, she handed the package to me. “For you,” she said,
with more excitement than she had shown all morning. Curious, I pulled back the paper. Surprised
by the contents, I said, “Rosely, I can't ... This is...”
“What is it ” asked Dad. I pulled back the rest of the paper to show the gift to the family. It
was Rosely’s favorite red car. I looked back and forth between the gift she had given me and the
cheap one I had given her, feeling quite shameful. “Rosely, really, you don't have to. This is nice,
but you should keep it,” I said. Touching the edge of her pajamas, she smiled and whispered, “I
loved that car, but I want you to have it.” Then she jumped up and gave me a quick hug.
