    An 11﹣year﹣old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school.Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障碍物) in her way.The girl's home is near the school,yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

    The case of the girl shows the barrier﹣free facilities (设施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier﹣free facilities as well. There's no well﹣designed path for the blind. In fact. in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier﹣free facilities for disabled people. However,almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

    It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier﹣free facilities are badly destroyed(毁坏). Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

    Some ideas can make a difference﹣build more barrier﹣free facilities and employ more of them require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It's our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

    From tiny seeds(种子), great discoveries grow. A mini﹣garden carried on China's Chang'e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world.

    This is yet another success for Chang'e 4. On January 2, the probe(探测器)became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.

    Part of Chang'e 4's mission(使命)is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring(探索)whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang'e 4 carried a mini﹣garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity(the force that keeps your feet on the ground),and so they always shoot upwards.The moon's gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth's, so Chang'e 4's experiment was a test:would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.

    Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; sunlight will not return until the start of February.As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can't stand the cold(it can drop to ﹣170C on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.

(1)The text is mainly about  

A. another success for Chang'e 4

B. Chang'e 4 moon lander

C. tiny seeds in the soil

D. the steps of an experiment

(2)Which of the following is TRUE about Chang'e 4?  

A. It carried a mini﹣garden.

B. It landed on the near side of the moon.

C. It explored the moon base.

D. It found plants on the moon.

(3)From the text we can know that  

A. the far side of the moon gets less sunlight

B. we can see the far side of the moon from the earth

C. the stems fail to grow away from the earth's gravity

D. the earth plants know the way to grow on the moon

(4)What can be inferred(推理)from the text?  

A. Plants can be grown on the moon soon.

B. It is perfect to do experiments on the moon.

C. The cotton shoots can last days on the moon.

D. We can see a new moon at the start of February.

(5)In which section of a magazine can you read the text?  

A. Health and sport.

B. History and culture.

C. Science and technology.

Researchers in the 1960s found bilingual (双语的)people scored higher on intelligence (智力)tests than monolinguals﹣﹣people who speak only one language. The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer, but it probably does make you better at certain skills.

    Imagine driving down the highway. There're many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism make you any better at that?

    The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention﹣a function (功能)called the executive control system. It's quite possibly the most important system we have because it's where all of your decisions about what to attend to, what to ignore(忽视),what to process are made.

    The best method to measure(测量) the executive control system is called the Stroop Test. Suppose you would have the word "blue" written in red, but you have to say the colour red. But "blue" is so eye﹣ catching, and you really want to say"blue". You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red. That's the Stroop Test.

    Bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer's disease.

(1)What did the recent research find about bilingual people?  

A. They can safely drive their cars.

B. They can well manage their attention.

C. They can have a better control of imagination.

D. They can easily pick out the colours they want.

(2)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?  

A. Red.

B. Blue.

C. Test.

D. System.

(3)What can we learn from the last paragraph?  

A. Bilingualism may do harm to people's health.

B. Bilingualism helps children make more foreign friends.

C. People must practice speaking two languages continually.

D. People use more active words from their mother languages.

(4)What might be the best title for the text?  

A. How does the Stroop Test work?

B. What is executive control system?

C. Are monolingual people smarter?

D. Are bilingual people better at some skills?

Ever wondered why your virtual(虚拟的)home helper doesn't understand your questions?Or why your navigation app took you on the side street instead of the highway?In a study published April 21st in the journal Science,Italian researchers,Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella,designed a robot that "thinks out loud".

To explore how inner speech might influence a robot's actions,the researchers built a robot called Pepper that speaks to itself.It has the ability to reason and think.They then asked people to set the dinner table with Pepper according to etiquette(礼仪)rules.In one experiment,the user asked Pepper to lay the napkin at the wrong place,going against the rules.Pepper started asking itself a series of self﹣directed questions and concluded that the user might be mistaken.To be sure,Pepper confirmed the user's order,which led to further inner speech.

"Ehm,this situation troubles me.I would never break the rules,but I can't make the user unhappy,so I'm doing what he wants," Pepper said to itself,laying the napkin where it was required to be.Through Pepper's inner voice,the user can learn Pepper was facing a difficult situation and solved it by prioritizingthe user's order.

Comparing Pepper's actions with and without inner speech,Pipitone and Chella discovered the robot had a higher task﹣completion rate when having self﹣dialogue.

However,some people find the robot spends more time completing tasks when it talks to itself.The robot's inner speech is also limited to the knowledge that researchers gave it.Pepper's designers still say their work provides a framework(构架)to further explore how self﹣dialogue can help robots focus,plan,and learn. "In some ways,we are creating a generational(世代的)robot that likes to chat.From navigation apps and the camera on your phone to medical robots in the operation rooms,machines and computers alike can take advantage of this chatty feature," says Chella.

(1)Why does the writer ask two questions at the very beginning of the passage?    

A.

To draw the reader's attention to the topic.

B.

To show the writer likes electronic products

C.

To tell the reader about the history of robots.

D.

To prove the writer often faces trouble in life.

(2)Why was Pepper asked to lay the napkin at the wrong place?    

A.

To see how much time Pepper spent laying the napkin.

B.

To confirm how popular Pepper was among its users.

C.

To test how many etiquette rules Pepper remembered.

D.

To study how self﹣dialogue might influence Pepper's actions.

(3)What does the underlined word "prioritizing" in Paragraph 3 mean?    

A.

repeating.

B.

dealing with…first.

C.

going against.

D.

complaining about.

(4)What can we infer from the passage?    

A.

The designers are proud of their work about Pepper.

B.

Pepper has already been in use in the operation rooms.

C.

Pepper's inner speech depends on its user's communication skills.

D.

With or without inner speech,Pepper could complete a task equally well.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

(1)What is the passage mainly about?    

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

B.How the terracotta army was colored.

C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.

(2)What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to?    

A.Archeologists.

B.Artists.

C.Researchers.

D.Soldier.

(3)Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree?    

A.The soldiers should stay in their present,brown color.

B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.

C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.

D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.

Have you ever imagined the life in space?The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.

• Eating in space

   If you go camping for more than a week with some friends,you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip,you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.

   Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms,such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water,such as cheese.Of course,an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges,so space food must be kept properly.

• Sleeping in space

   After a long day at work,nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth,in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time,then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep,they have to attachthemselves,so they don't float (漂浮) around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins (乘员舱).Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally,astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.

• Doing sports in space

   Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss (肌肉萎缩).Usually,astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed,so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.

   Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun,too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

The Internet is shaping our lives. We already have online shopping services and mobile payment. However, this is just a start. The worlds leading tech companies are planning to build smarter online communities. (1)   It was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang last year. The development of artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能) was a hot topic at the conference(会议). If a machine can learn and solve problems as humans do, it can be called AI.

    The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen. There is no salesperson in the supermarket, just a tablet on a desk that says"please smile". (2)   The bigger your smile is, the more discounts(折扣) you will get. Payment is done automatically(自动地) through your Alipay(支付宝)account.

Are you short﹣sighted? If you are, your parents might have tried to do something to fix it, such as having you get an eye massage(按摩), take medicine or even get surgery(手术). People who offer these services or products often say that they can reduce or even cure short sight.

    However, you will no longer see advertisements like this before long. The government has issued a notice to ban(禁止) businesses from using words like "recovery" or "short sight cure" in

their advertisements.

    The notice says that short sight cannot be completely cured with current medical technology. Therefore, these advertisements could mislead children and their parents.

    Young people can prevent and control short sight by spending more time outside and less time in front of books or computers. People who have sight problems should first go to a hospital and let a doctor decide what to do.

    More than 450 million Chinese have suffered from short sight since June 2018. Short sight rates are around 30 percent for primary school students, 60 percent for junior high school students and 80 percent for senior high school students. This is likely because students spend a lot of time reading books and using electronic devices.

    To reduce short sight among young people, the government made a new plan last August. The plan is designed to limit the amount of time children spend playing video games, as well as limit the production of new video games.
