When Arvin Kuipers, who graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 2017 and loves Chinese culture, asks his patients to stick out their tongue so he can diagnose(诊断) their illness, many are confused.
Kuipers, 30, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said, “In TCM I need to do face and tongue diagnosis. That’s strange for people in my country.” One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment. “She came in, and I examined her face and tongue,” said Kuipers. “I told the patient her kidneys were not doing well and that she wasn’t getting proper sleep.” The woman was shocked by his insight and asked if he had been spying on her. “Actually, it was easy to diagnose her condition when I saw the dark rings under her eyes. Her energy levels were also very low at the time.”
Kuipers opened his TCM clinic in September. Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said. In some cases he also gave his patients traditional herbal medicines.
Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”
As of early April, Kuipers has treated more than 200 patients, many of whom come to his clinic every week. “TCM does work, and works well. My patients really feel better with it, so I value it, and when my patients feel better I also feel better.”
4. What can we learn from the elderly woman’s story in paragraph 2
A. The elderly woman trusted TCM treatment in the beginning.
B. TCM is very different from the treatment in her country.
C. The elderly woman used to visit Kuipers a lot for TCM.
D. The elderly woman was shocked at her kidney s not doing well
5. Which TCM treatment is most welcomed by the patients in the West
A. Tuina. B. Acupuncture. C. Cupping. D. Herbal medicines.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why Kuipers’ patients are fond of Chinese tea.
B. How Kuipers explains meridian system to his patients.
C. How Kuipers applies Chinese culture and treatments to patients.
D. Why Kuipers pays little attention to overall physical condition.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A To praise Kuipers for his TCM treatments.
B. To stress the value of teaching foreigners TCM.
C. To show the popularity of TCM with patients in the Netherlands.
D. To tell the story of Kuipers practising TCM in the Netherlands.
C
Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday.
Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services more accessible to them. “Every day, people use voice instructions, like ‘Hey Google’, or their hands to operate their phones,” the tech giant Google said in a blog post. “However, that’s not always possible for people with serious physical or speech disabilities.”
The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches” which lets people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones. The other is Project Activate, a new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone play a recorded phrase, send text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.
Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.
8. What is the main role of the two new tools
A. Taking sharper photographs with a phone. B. Using smartphones with face gestures.
C. Curing people’s speech or physical disabilities. D. Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones.
9. What do we know about the Project Activate app
A. It’s sold at a high price. B. It’s mainly used to send texts.
C. It’s instructed by voice. D. It’s being used in a few countries.
10. What does the underlined part “rolling out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Picking out. B. Referring to. C. Bringing out. D. Reacting to.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To promote Android-powered smartphones.
B. To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled.
C. To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have.
D. To introduce some other inventions benefiting the disabled.
D
To see the future of high-speed railways, you need to go to China.
At the beginning of the 21st century, China had no high-speed railways. Slow and often uncomfortable trains ran across this vast country, with low average speeds making journeys such as Shanghai-Beijing a test of travel endurance (忍耐力). Today, it’s a completely different picture. The populous nation has the world’s largest network of high-speed railways.
With the highest speed of 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been completely changed and the dominance (主导地位) of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes. China’s ambition is to make high-speed rail the popular choice for domestic long-distance travel, but these new railways have a much great importance. They are a symbol of the country’s economic power, rapid modernization, growing technological skills and increasing prosperity (繁荣).
It’s hard not to be impressed by the size of some of the new stations, and by the efficiency (效率) with which the system moves vast numbers of people, all with a booked seat and increasingly without the need for paper tickets, just a scan of an ID card at the ticket gates.
Not satisfied with pushing the boundaries of speed, endurance and civil engineering, Chinese companies are among the first in the world to introduce new technology such as autonomous (driverless) train operation and advanced signaling and control technology.
The driverless “bullet trains” connecting Beijing and Zhangjiakou in northern Hebei Province are capable of hitting speeds up to 350 kph, making them the world’s fastest autonomous trains.
12. What can we know about Chinese railway in the past
A. It was comfortable and convenient.
B. It was slow and terrible for travelers.
C It was faster than any other country’s railway.
D It was the largest railway network in the world.
13. Which is not the benefits that high-speed railways bring
A. They promote local prosperity.
B. They “shorten”the distance between cities.
C. They show the country’s economic power.
D. They take the place of the airlines.
14. What does the author want to tell us by saying “just a scan of an ID card” in paragraph 4
A. To show the importance of an ID card.
B. To explain the way of entering ticket gates.
C. To prove the convenience of taking high-speed rail.
D. To introduce the usage of an ID card in high-speed rail transport.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The development of Chinese high-speed railways.
B. The significance of Chinese high-speed railways.
C. The future of Chinese high-speed railways.
D The speed of Chinese high-speed railways.

Kuipers, 30, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said, “In TCM I need to do face and tongue diagnosis. That’s strange for people in my country.” One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment. “She came in, and I examined her face and tongue,” said Kuipers. “I told the patient her kidneys were not doing well and that she wasn’t getting proper sleep.” The woman was shocked by his insight and asked if he had been spying on her. “Actually, it was easy to diagnose her condition when I saw the dark rings under her eyes. Her energy levels were also very low at the time.”
Kuipers opened his TCM clinic in September. Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said. In some cases he also gave his patients traditional herbal medicines.
Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”
As of early April, Kuipers has treated more than 200 patients, many of whom come to his clinic every week. “TCM does work, and works well. My patients really feel better with it, so I value it, and when my patients feel better I also feel better.”
4. What can we learn from the elderly woman’s story in paragraph 2
A. The elderly woman trusted TCM treatment in the beginning.
B. TCM is very different from the treatment in her country.
C. The elderly woman used to visit Kuipers a lot for TCM.
D. The elderly woman was shocked at her kidney s not doing well
5. Which TCM treatment is most welcomed by the patients in the West
A. Tuina. B. Acupuncture. C. Cupping. D. Herbal medicines.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why Kuipers’ patients are fond of Chinese tea.
B. How Kuipers explains meridian system to his patients.
C. How Kuipers applies Chinese culture and treatments to patients.
D Why Kuipers pays little attention to overall physical condition.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To praise Kuipers for his TCM treatments.
B. To stress the value of teaching foreigners TCM.
C. To show the popularity of TCM with patients in the Netherlands.
D. To tell the story of Kuipers practising TCM in the Netherlands.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment.(一位上了年纪的妇女偶尔会去找他咨询,但她第一次接触中医的经历让她大吃一惊。她从未经历过针灸或任何其他中医治疗)”可知,老妇人第一次接触中医时感到很惊讶。她从未体验过针灸或其他中医疗法。由此可推知,中医与老妇人所在国家的治疗方法是非常不同的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said.(他说,他的大部分工作包括针灸、拔火罐和推拿——西方病人最喜欢的一种中医按摩)”可知,最受西方人欢迎的疗法是推拿。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”(如果病人对针灸针感到紧张,Kuipers通常会泡一杯中国茶来安抚他们。他还向他们解释了经络系统,这是中医的核心概念,阴阳和其他概念。“在中医中,身体健康需要阴阳平衡,所以从业者不仅要关注病人的疾病,还要关注他或她的整体身体状况,”Kuipers说。“中医也是一种不同的文化,提供了一个新的视角,而不是一种治疗方法。”)”可知,本段主要介绍了Kuipers在治疗病人时应用了中国文化。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文前三段介绍了Kuipers学习中医、在荷兰用中医疗法给病人看病,最后两段介绍了Kuipers使用的中医疗法的效果。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是讲述Kuipers在荷兰实践中医的故事。故选D。
C
Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday.
Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services more accessible to them. “Every day, people use voice instructions, like ‘Hey Google’, or their hands to operate their phones,” the tech giant Google said in a blog post. “However, that’s not always possible for people with serious physical or speech disabilities.”
The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches”, which lets people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones. The other is Project Activate, a new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone play a recorded phrase, send text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.
Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.
8. What is the main role of the two new tools
A. Taking sharper photographs with a phone. B. Using smartphones with face gestures.
C. Curing people’s speech or physical disabilities. D. Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones.
9. What do we know about the Project Activate app
A It’s sold at a high price. B. It’s mainly used to send texts.
C. It’s instructed by voice. D. It’s being used in a few countries.
10. What does the underlined part “rolling out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Picking out. B. Referring to. C. Bringing out. D. Reacting to.
11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To promote Android-powered smartphones.
B. To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled.
C. To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have.
D. To introduce some other inventions benefiting the disabled.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work, identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling, raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.(两种新工具让智能手机上的机器学习和前置摄像头发挥作用,识别面部和眼部运动。用户可以看着手机屏幕,通过微笑、扬起眉毛、张大嘴巴、向左、向右或向上看来选择任务)”可知,这两个新工具的主要作用是帮助用户使用带有面部表情的智能手机。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.(这款免费的Activate应用程序在澳大利亚、英国、加拿大和美国的谷歌Play Store中都可以使用)”可知,Activate应用程序在一些国家被使用。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult”可知,苹果、谷歌和微软不断推出新发明,让残障人士或那些发现年龄使阅读等一些任务变得更困难的人更容易使用互联网技术。故画线词意思是“推出”。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading, more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do.

To see the future of high-speed railways, you need to go to China.
At the beginning of the 21st century, China had no high-speed railways. Slow and often uncomfortable trains ran across this vast country, with low average speeds making journeys such as Shanghai-Beijing a test of travel endurance (忍耐力). Today, it’s a completely different picture. The populous nation has the world’s largest network of high-speed railways.
With the highest speed of 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been completely changed and the dominance (主导地位) of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes. China’s ambition is to make high-speed rail the popular choice for domestic long-distance travel, but these new railways have a much great importance. They are a symbol of the country’s economic power, rapid modernization, growing technological skills and increasing prosperity (繁荣).
It’s hard not to be impressed by the size of some of the new stations, and by the efficiency (效率) with which the system moves vast numbers of people, all with a booked seat and increasingly without the need for paper tickets, just a scan of an ID card at the ticket gates.
Not satisfied with pushing the boundaries of speed, endurance and civil engineering, Chinese companies are among the first in the world to introduce new technology such as autonomous (driverless) train operation and advanced signaling and control technology.
The driverless “bullet trains” connecting Beijing and Zhangjiakou in northern Hebei Province are capable of hitting speeds up to 350 kph, making them the world’s fastest autonomous trains.
12. What can we know about Chinese railway in the past
A. It was comfortable and convenient.
B. It was slow and terrible for travelers.
C. It was faster than any other country’s railway.
D. It was the largest railway network in the world.
13. Which is not the benefits that high-speed railways bring
A. They promote local prosperity.
B. They “shorten”the distance between cities.
C. They show the country’s economic power.
D. They take the place of the airlines.
14 What does the author want to tell us by saying “just a scan of an ID card” in paragraph 4
A. To show the importance of an ID card.
B. To explain the way of entering ticket gates.
C. To prove the convenience of taking high-speed rail.
D. To introduce the usage of an ID card in high-speed rail transport.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The development of Chinese high-speed railways.
B. The significance of Chinese high-speed railways.
C. The future of Chinese high-speed railways.
D. The speed of Chinese high-speed railways.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国在高铁上已取得的巨大成就和正在发展的方向。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“Slow and often uncomfortable trains ran across this vast country, with low average speeds making journeys such as Shanghai-Beijing a test of travel endurance (忍耐力). (在这个幅员辽阔的国家,火车运行缓慢,常常让人不舒服,较低的平均速度使得上海到北京的旅行成为对旅行耐力的考验)”可知,中国铁路系统在过去速度慢且体验感糟糕。故答案选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“With the highest speed of 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been completely changed and the dominance (主导地位) of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes. (许多线路的最高时速为350公里,城际旅行已经完全改变,航空公司在最繁忙航线上的主导地位已经被打破)”可知,由于高铁的发展,航空公司在最繁忙线路上的主导地位被打破,D选项“They take the place of the airlines. (高铁取代了航空公司)”中的take the place of太绝对,是打破了其主导地位并不是取代,所以D选项不属于高铁所带来的好处。故答案为D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It’s hard not to be impressed by the size of some of the new stations, and by the efficiency (效率) with which the system moves vast numbers of people, all with a booked seat and increasingly without the need for paper tickets, just a scan of an ID card at the ticket gates. (一些新高铁站的规模和系统运送大量乘客的效率很难不给人留下深刻印象,所有人都预订了座位,而且越来越不需要纸质票,只需要在检票口扫描一下身份证)”可知,作者提到刷身份证进站是为了说明高铁的efficiency,证明其方便。故答案选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文介绍了中国在高铁上已取得的巨大成就和正在发展的方向,所以A选项“The development of Chinese high-speed railways. (中国高铁的发展)”符合本篇文章主旨。故答案选A。

Don't delay making decisions.
Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. ___19___ Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness (犹豫不决).
Don't be hard on yourself.
You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't expect an illness that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days.___20___But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.
A. Don't spend too much time thinking.
B. It is an important source of information.
C. You may regret making such a stupid decision.

考查名词。句意:青少年和父母之间经常发生激烈的争论和冷淡的沉默,这是因为青少年在成长过程中通常会经历身体和心理的变化。句中缺少主语,用名词作主语;argument是可数名词,根据后文and cold silences可知要用复数形式表示泛指。故填arguments。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:青少年和父母之间经常发生激烈的争论和冷淡的沉默,这是因为青少年在成长过程中通常会经历身体和心理的变化。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代整个主句,从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,故填which。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:青少年和父母之间经常发生激烈的争论和冷淡的沉默,这是因为青少年在成长过程中通常会经历身体和心理的变化。此处指青少年的成长,应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对他们来说,实现平衡是一项艰巨的挑战。此处it是形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to achieve。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:必须强调的是,他们可以通过以诚实的方式定期沟通来改善这种情况。分析句子可知,it是形式主语,that引导主语从句是真正的主语,与谓语动词stress是被动关系,故用被动语态,must是情态动词,后接be done构成被动语态,故填be stressed。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:必须强调的是,他们可以通过以诚实的方式定期沟通来改善这种情况。修饰communicating用副词作状语,故填regularly。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:保持良好亲子关系的关键是要站在对方的角度去理解情况。表示“……的关键”短语为the key to。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:每当争吵发生时,青少年必须记住,也许他们的父母也有过类似的经历,他们的建议是很有帮助的。根据句意,此处说得是父母以前也经历过,用一般过去时,或者用现在完成时,表示现在的结果,主语their parents是复数,谓语动词用复数,故填have experienced/experienced。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:每当争吵发生时,青少年必须记住,也许他们的父母也有过类似的经历,他们的建议是很有帮助的。作表语,应用形容词helpful。故填helpful。
【45题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:好消息是这种暴风雨期不会持续太久。分析句子可知,空格处引导表语从句,从句句意完整,成分齐全,用that引导表语从句,无词义,不作成分,仅起引导作用,故填that。

My Dream Career
A dream seems like a horn (号角) in the race, and a beacon (灯塔) in the dark. For me, to create a meaningful and happy life, being a doctor is my ideal career.
As a child, I was always excited to watching my parents rush to heal the wounded and rescue the dying (治病救人), full of worship (崇拜). As time went by, the seed of dream was rooted deep in my heart. When the epidemic struck, seeing the angels in white fighting on the front line, I hardened my determination.(坚定信念).
Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as I study hard enough as a senior student now, I will definitely go to my ideal medical college in three years to be a doctor.
