My friend Lilly and I were on the way back to home from school when we saw a boy fall off his bicycles. The boy lay on the ground， screamed in pain. We rushed to help and found if the boy's left leg was bleeding. It happened that we have learned some knowledge about first aid before， so we knew how we should do. We dialed "120" and called an ambulance. While waiting it， I took out my handkerchief and pressed them onto the bleeding point. Then we rolled the boy onto one side but put him in the recovery position. We stayed with him until the ambulance arrived 5 minutes late.

    Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media, only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland, that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store, and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are? Oh, man! You're missing out!1.Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FoMO.

2.It's so easy today to see what your friends are doing from the social media. Unluckily, we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment It would be impossible for us to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social media.

Rather than realizing this basic truth, though, we usually let FoMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media. 3. Why? We know all the sides of our lives— both good and bad. but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share.

4.FoMO makes us check social media more frequently, leading to addiction and a negative cycle that can be hard to break. Researchers have found that social media and FoMO can cause serious negative results, including feeling of depression, loneliness and boredom.

5.Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness. Instead, we should focus our attention on our real lives, including the people around us and all the things we're grateful for.

A. Have you ever experienced FoMO?

B. At least that's what you might think.

C. This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied.

D. So how do we break the cycle and avoid FoMO?

E. Over 75% of young people report feeling FoMO from time to time.

F. As famous Theodore Roosevelt said, "Comparison is the thief of joy".

G. If you let FoMO control you, the only thing you'll really be missing out on is your own life.

    Supercomputers which can analyse blood samples and predict which patients are likely to become seriously ill could save tens of thousands of lives a year, it was revealed last night, according to The Daily Express.

The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen “at risk” patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: “I am so excited about this form of technology.”Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. “I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare.”

The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.

He found the technique forecast outcomes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. “This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient.” Prof Young said, “Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.”

1.What does the underlined phrase “screen” in Paragraph2 mean?

A.comfort. B.treat.

C.spot. D.nurse.

2.How do supercomputers help save lives?

A.By storing blood samples.

B.By analyzing patients’ cases.

C.By observing changes in blood cells.

D.By assisting doctors with their operations.

3.Why did Professor Young mention the Industrial Revolution?

A.To show the influence of AI.

B.To stress the importance of health care.

C.To introduce the topic of supercomputers.

D.To present the achievement he has accomplished.

4.What do we know about the new technology?

A.It helps patients recover earlier.

B.It has helped save thousands of lives.

C.It will promote the health service greatly.

D.It is intended for patients with kidney diseases.

    Demand for the Chinese tech company＇s devices(设备) is red hot even though the country’s overall market for smartphones is getting smaller Huawei's China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018, and experts say that's partly due to the US govenment's global campaign against the company.

“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义) in Chinese consumers， said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit

He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firm's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.

Huawei's booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究) criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker by next year.

Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL), according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple's sales plunged almost 20%.

Huawei's success in China, the world's largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship，high -end- phones because they have great cameras， cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market.

It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE (ZTCOF), a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.

1.Why did Huawei's China sales increase greatly according to the article?

A.Because the company's devices are always popular worldwide.

B.Because Chinese consumers' patriotism was aroused

C.Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.

D.Because the country's overall market for smartphones is getting bigger.

2.What can we conclude from the third paragraph?

A.Huawei’s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US's request.

B.All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.

C.Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei's chief financial officer.

D.Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer is unfair.

3.How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?

A.increased greatly by. B.reduced greatly to.

C.dropped greatly by. D.remained steady.

4.Why is Huawei's success in China more than about geopolitics?

A.Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.

B.Because Huawei's success is only limited within China mainland.

C.Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.

D.Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.

    When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.

But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.

She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.

Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.

Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.

1.What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about?

We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy. It works our muscles and makes our heart work hard so as to send blood to our muscles. So, exercise makes our heart and muscles strong. Exercise also makes us feel refreshed. If you exercise a couple of times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.

Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don’t have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from dawn till dusk, so they don’t have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers. They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively.

Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, the majority of the people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This has an unfavourable effect on them in two ways. First, these people don’t have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention. It makes a person worn out. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don’t have the desire to take exercise after work.

Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don’t see a difference right away, they will lose heart and stop exercising.

1.List two of the benefits we can get from physical exercise. (No more than 15 words)

2.Why can’t people in the US take enough exercise? (No more than 10 words)

3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 probably means __________. (1 word)

4.Why do people who drive to work get worn out? (No more than 10 words)

5.What advice would you give to office workers and why? (No more than 20 words)

    Personality is , to large extent, inherent (天生的). A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring (产物). But the environment must also have a big effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.

One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the “win at all costs” moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: “Rejoice, we conquer! ”.

By far the worst form of competition in school is the improper emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.

Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into ‘B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.

1.What affects the building of personality according to the passage?

A.inheritance, employment and examination.

B.inheritance, competition and environment.

C.competition, employment and questions.

D.environment, knowledge and examination.

2.The underlined phrase “soak up” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.

A.abstract B.accept

C.absorb D.accomplish

3.The author gives the example of Pheidippides in order to ______.

A.express the positive attitude toward the examinations

B.express his approval for the competition

C.show that he was too keen to win the game

D.show the consequence of the severe competition

4.What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?

A.positive. B.negative.

C.doubtful. D.acceptable.

5.What suggestion does the author make concerning the management of a school?

A.All students at schools should be made into competitive A types.

B.A child’s personality be considered according to his possible future job.

C.All students should be changed into B characteristics.

D.All kinds of schools should get rid of all examinations.

    Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．

Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. During the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said:“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating，feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.”

During their 24-hour test, three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.

Elliot Day wrote:“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.”

From Caroline Scott, we read:“I didn’t expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it’s not something l would like to do again!”

And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social device, it’s my main access point of communication.”

Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

1.What is the experiment?

A.Volunteers’record of their 24 hours offline.

B.Volunteers’ reaction without any media for 24 hours.

2.What does the author worry about at the end of the passage?

A.The media ban affects people’s temperature.

B.People will have less and less time for sleep.

C.Work will be carried on hard without the media.

D.Life will be empty without the radio or newspapers.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings?

A.Anxious. B.Lonely.

C.Bored. D.Excited.

4.What conclusion does the experiment draw?

A.People should use the media devices reasonably．

B.People can easily survive the media devices addict．

C.People’s everyday life and work relies much on the media．

D.People spend about half the time using the media devices．

5.What is probably the passage?

A.Advertisement. B.Book review.

    Rachel Carson was an American author and environmental protection scientist. “Silent Spring” was her most famous book. The idea for the book developed from a suggestion from a friend. Rachel’s friend owned a protected area for birds. An airplane had flown over the area where the birds were kept and spread a powerful chemical called DDT. Many songbirds and harmless insects were killed by the DDT.

Miss Carson and other scientists were very concerned about the harmful effects of DDT and other insect-killing chemicals called pesticides. Rachel Carson tried to get many magazines interested in publishing a report about the subject. However, none would agree to publish anything about such a debate subject. They said no one wanted to hear that industrial companies could cause great ecological damage.

Miss Carson believed the public needed to know about this important issue. She decided to write a book about it. In her book “Silent Spring”, Miss Carson questioned the right of industrial companies to pollute without considering the effects on the environment. Miss Carson argued that this kind of pollution would result in ever-decreasing populations of birds and other wildlife. She said this would lead to the loss of the wonderful sounds of nature. The chemical poisoning of the environment, she said, would cause a silent spring.

The chemical industry felt threatened. Industry spokesmen and other critics said the book was non-scientific and emotional. They misunderstood the message of the book. Miss Carson did not suggest that all pesticides be banned. She urged that control of these substances be given to biologists who could make informed decisions about the risks involved.

Support for the book increased. By the end of 1962, there were more than forty bills in state laws proposing to control pesticides. Finally, in November, 1969, the United States government ruled that the use of DDT must stop in two years.

Rachel Carson did not live to see how her book influenced the government’s decision to ban DDT. She died of breast cancer in 1964.

1.What gets Rachel Carson to write the book?

A.The area of protection.

B.A powerful chemical called DDT.

    “Well, I made it,” says Greg Daniels with a smile.

Recently there have been news reports and television shows reporting on the quality of school lunches. According to federal guidelines, French fries count as a serving of vegetables. Many parents and others are upset that a salty, deep-fired food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks. As a result, the potato — what French fries are made of — has been getting a bad rap.

“The problem is not the potato,” insists Greg. “Potatoes are very healthy. But any food, even carrots or lettuce (生菜), will be less healthy if it’s cooked in grease(油脂).”

Two months ago, Greg decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days. As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer, he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyone’s regular meals.

“It’s been an interesting experience,” Greg said. “For a while, I wasn’t sure I would make it. I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.”

But for Greg there were some benefits that he hadn’t expected. He’s lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years. “I have so much more energy,” he says. “I’ve been running and playing on a local basketball team, and I feel like I’m playing as well as I did when I was in high school.”

And Greg has gotten a lot of attention, much more than he expected. “It’s been fantastic. Thousands of people have read my blog. I’ve been sharing recipes and talking about the experience. Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes.”

Greg is glad to be back to a normal diet, but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week. “Everyone should!” he says with a smile. “Potatoes are healthy and taste great!”

1.What does the underlined part “getting a bad rap” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Receiving little attention.

B.Obtaining an unfair judgement.

C.Getting more and more popular.

D.Becoming good for people’s health.

2.Why did Greg decide to eat potatoes only?

A.Because potatoes are cheap.

B.To draw attention to himself.

C.To prove that potatoes are healthy.

D.Because he loves potatoes very much.

3.After eating potatoes for a few weeks, Greg________.
