The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing as Melinda sits in the rose garden of the nursing home. She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic (不现实的) but agreed to the promise for Thomas's sake. "Thomas, you are completely a dreamerl" Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That's what she loved about him most-he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year, followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph "Little Joey" George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love. "Mom!" Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room. When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. "This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here." 1.Why did Thomas break his promise? A. He was busy with his work. B. He died of lung cancer. C. He had to serve in the army. D. He stopped loving Melinda. 2.Which of the following best explains "exultant" underlined in Paragraph 2? A.

Spotify can tell if you're sad. Here's why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability: Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits. Over the past few years, Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you're listening to, combined with where and when you're listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available. Now, to be clear, there's nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers. You can see where this could go, can't you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you're feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I'm feeling a little down about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive. 1.What's the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new song. B. To draw readers' attention. C. To help more patients. D. To promote a new medium. 2.Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to . A. provide services for the government B. work with shadowy consulting firms C. get listeners' personal information D. help businessmen attract consumers 3.What's the author's attitude towards Spotify? A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Positive. D. Dissatisfied. 4.Who is the text probably designed for? A. Internet users. B. Officials. C. Researchers. D. Managers.

An exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器 ) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's unknown side never visible from Earth. China's Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说 ) , was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth. The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth's and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can "see" both the earth and the far side of the moon. The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers. Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星 ) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg. Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages. 1.What do we learn from the second paragraph? A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019. B. Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite. C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon. D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe. 2.Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small? A. To reduce the cost as much as possible. B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time. C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites. D. To follow American space experts' advice.’ 3.What made researchers suffer from great stress? A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon. B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment. C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite. D. People's never being optimistic about the relay satellite. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. China is a new space power after the USA. B. Chang'e-4 probe lands on Moon's far side. C. Chinese space engineers make much progress. D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.

So it's necessary to learn some simple tips that will make your decision much easier. 1. And how does that choice affect your future career? We can help guide you in choosing a major. Your major is your primary field of study in your undergraduate (大学的 ) program. It is the subject in which you earn your bachelor's degree. After completing a list of general education courses, you spend the rest of the time studying one subject of your choice. 2.. For many students, it's best to try out different classes to figure out a major you'll like, but you need to have a couple of solid choices. 3., you should begin taking courses you are required to complete before graduation, so it will decrease your chances of needing to switch majors later because you already know what to expect. 4., you should begin thinking about how your field will lead to a job as soon as possible. Consider clubs, research programs and part-time jobs related to potential career choices for your major. For more career-specific majors like nursing and engineering, the majority of your studies will include skills that can be used in a future job. 5.The sooner you begin working in a lab, on research projects or helping as a teaching assistant for a professor, the better you'II be able to figure out your career. A. You have to think of ways to choose a major B. Be sure that you choose a major that suits your interests C. Once you have a better idea of which major you like best D. While your major may or may not lead directly to a career E. Do some research to find out which majors can help you get that job F. Roughly one-third to one-half of your courses will be related to your major G. However, you should still consider doing activities outside of the classroom to better prepare you
