However, the U.S. Patent Office has issued over 7.5 million patents (专利), and not all of them are quite so celebrated. Some good, some bad, and some crazy! The following lists some of the more unusual ideas that have come along.‎ Snake Leash In 2002, a patent was issued for a snake-walking leash. There are at least two major problems with this idea, 1) Dog leashes fit securely between the head and shoulders. A snake does not have shoulders; so it might slither(蜿蜒滑行)away. 2) Dogs are OK for public places because they are social animals, and people like them. Snakes are not OK for public places because they are not social, and some people are terrified of them.‎ Stadium Helmet Americans are known for their love of sports. Unfortunately, good tickets to games are expensive, so some fans have to sit in the backward sections. This invention, patented in 2000, is designed for these fans. Featuring a built-in radio, binoculars (望远镜), a cooling fan, and a helmet for falling litter, this design transforms the stadium experience.‎ Bacon Alarm Clock When you think about it, waking to the dreadful, blaring noise of an alarm clock is a terrible way to start the day. However, this clock could change that. You simply put a piece of frozen bacon in the alarm clock, set the alarm, and go to sleep. The clock gently wakes you up with the mouth watering smell of bacon the next morning, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of mom cooking breakfast. Who said there’s no time to eat breakfast?‎ Toilet Lock In 1969, a patent was issued for a really bad idea - the toilet seat lock. First of all, fishing for your keys when you have to go seems very unpleasant. Then there is the possibility of losing the key altogether. What about guests? Just think that you would have to ask permission for the bathroom. Of course, there is the ultimate question: Why would you lock it in the first place?‎ ‎21. Snake Leash was designed to_______.‎ ‎ A. take a snake for a walk B. keep off a snake ‎ C. catch a snake D. keep dogs and snakes together ‎22. What can be inferred about the backward sections? ‎ ‎ A. They are close to the center of a stadium.‎ ‎ B. They are for fans who have poor eyesight.‎ ‎ C. They are for fans who can’t afford to buy good tickets.‎ ‎ D. They are in the center of a stadium.‎ ‎23. Which of the following inventions can help to save your time?‎ ‎ A. Toilet Lock. B. Bacon Alarm Clock. ‎ ‎ C. Snake Leash. D. Stadium Helmet.‎ B I like writing; I like meeting people; I like discovering new things, then telling everyone about them; and I couldn’t keep a secret if you paid me. So I became a journalist.‎ ‎ I wrote for my school magazine, did unpaid work on my local paper, took a master’s degree, got a part-time job, and then became a full-time journalist.‎ ‎ Or at least that is what my resume would say; but the life of a journalist is more exciting than that－even if that excitement can come with a side of pain and frustration.‎ ‎ I have lost count of the numbers of e-mails I have ignored. I have spent hours at meetings listening as hard as I could for a story－only to go home empty-handed.‎ ‎ Once I ran around knocking on doors in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke at night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the fireman. I wrote the story...then I opened the paper to find it at the back, which no name on it, only 100 words long.‎ ‎ Strangely, though, that challenge made me want to keep going. If you do succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.‎ ‎ I once wrote about an old people’s home where residents, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas(跳蚤), and being told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, the residents phoned me, overjoyed. The managers had ‎ apologized and promised to change their ways.‎ ‎ Journalism can be dangerous and dull, and the pay (at least in the UK) is usually terrible. But it’s also one of the most thrilling, rewarding jobs around. For me, there is no better career than making a difference and telling the world about it.‎ ‎24. What is the article mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Getting started in a career in journalism ‎ B. Why life is easier for male journalist.‎ ‎ C. How you can be a good journalist.‎ ‎ D. The author’s colorful experiences as a journalist.‎ ‎25. According to the author, her frustration in her job often comes from_______.‎ ‎ A. fruitless efforts B. unfair treatment ‎ C. misunderstanding D. danger and risks ‎26. What deeply attracts the author as a journalist is that _______.‎ ‎ A. she gets to see her name printed ‎ B. she can help others and bring about changes in people’s lives ‎ C. she can meet different people and hear their stories ‎ D. she earns a lot through writing fun stories ‎27. From the article we can conclude that the author_______.‎ ‎ A. is not good at keeping secrets.‎ ‎ B. is not appreciated by her editor.‎ ‎ C. does not mind the challenges in her career.‎ ‎ D. is interested in exciting and dangerous work. ‎ C New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year in the U.S., in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.‎ The display is part of the fourth annual “Happy Chinese New Year: Fantastic Art China” festival held in New York on February 15-20, 2018. The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), the U.S.-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100 announced this year’s events on November 18 at a press conference at the Lincoln Center.‎ The “Fantastic Art China” festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York’s top cultural venues (地点) and landmarks, including the Lincoln Center, Empire State Building and Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.‎ This year’s theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image, said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA, who is also president of Fantastic Art China and in charge of the festival’s design. Lunar New Year, which celebrates the “Year of the Dog” in 2018, is an opportunity to bring China’s modern art to mainstream America, and the festival serves as an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City, Yu said.‎ UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun’s music is a new edition that will be featured  at several venues, including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center, events at the Lincoln Center and the fireworks display on the Hudson, which will take place on the evening of February 6. Five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.‎ ‎“We Chinese are fond of nature, so the best way to celebrate the Lunar New Year is to salute with the sounds of nature, such as sounds of water, stone and bamboo,” said Tan Dun at the press conference, “And it will be fun to use the music of water during the firework display.”‎ In addition to the fireworks, a special lighting show at the Empire State Building will illuminate New York City during the holiday. ‎ Chinese New Year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in New York. Children from the National Dance Institute, which represents 75 schools, will perform traditional Chinese dances at the Lincoln Center and the Javits Center. And, in celebration of the “Year of the Dog” events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden Dog in China.‎ ‎28. The theme of this year’s celebration is centered on ________.‎ ‎ A. diversity of Chinese traditional festivals B. relationship between sound and image of nature ‎ C. endangered species and environment protection ‎ D. cultural exchange between China and America ‎29. The coming “Year of the Dog” is to be celebrated in New York by ________.‎ ‎ A. sailing on the Hudson River along with a new-year speech ‎ B. holding a special concert at the Empire State Building ‎ C. asking a week off and organizing Chinese dance contests ‎ D. setting off fireworks and holding a special lighting show ‎30. What does the underlined word “illuminate” (in Para. 7) most probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Surround. B. Lighten. C. Decorate. D. Broaden. ‎ ‎31. This passage is written mainly in order to ________.‎ A. report celebration activities for the “Year of the Dog” in New York B. attract visitors to America for the coming new-year celebration C. strengthen the cultural co-operation between China and America D. compare some traditional festivals in China and America D Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, testing or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族).‎ ‎ Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.‎ ‎ Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.‎ ‎ But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to ‎ stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.‎ ‎ It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.‎ 32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2? ‎ A．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.‎ B．To advertise the cartoon made by students.‎ C．To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.‎ D．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have? ‎ A．His social skills could be affected.‎ B．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.‎ C．He will cause the destruction of the world.‎ D．He might get separated from his friends and family.‎ ‎34. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing? ‎ A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Optimistic. D．Opposed.‎ ‎35. What may the passage talk about next? ‎ A．Advice on how to use a cell phone.‎ B．People addicted to phubbing.‎ C．Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.‎ D．Consequences of phubbing.‎ ‎第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Weight loss is a hard topic. Lots of people aren’t satisfied with their present weight, but most people aren’t sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. ‎ ‎ 36 . So what should you do about your weight control?‎ ‎ 37 The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian (营养师). 38 If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.‎ ‎ 39 People who lose weight quickly by crash dieting or other extreme measure usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they haven’t permanently (永久的) changed their habits.

A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone.在短片中，不同的社会身份的低头族都沉浸在自己的手机里。医生在玩手机的时候，他的病人死了；一个漂亮的女人在车祸现场前玩自拍；一位父亲在使用他的手机时，全然不知他的孩子不见了。一连串类似的事件最终导致了世界的毁灭。可以看出，作者举例是为了告知人们过度使用手机带来的危害。选择C。‎ ‎33. C 细节理解题。根据文章第三、四段：Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,不断地低头来查看你的手机可能会损伤你的颈部；Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually长时间地盯着手机屏幕将会逐渐磨损你的视力；Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family.成为低头族也可能会破坏你的社交技巧，让你远离家人和朋友。‎ ‎34. D 观点态度题。综合全文，从作者提供的卡通视频和后面提到的各种过度使用手机的后果可知，作者明显持反对的态度。‎ ‎35. C ‎ 推理判断题。根据排除法，文章已将谈论了低头一族过度使用手机的后果，因此下面应该告诉我们减少危害的措施了。‎ ‎36-40 EFGCA 试题分析:本文讲解了如何健康减肥。‎ ‎36. E 前句说“你想像杂志或电视中的模特演员一样，但是那些目标对你来说不现实也不健康”，下句为“那你应该如何控制体重”，由此判断空格处应填表示否定意义的句子，E项内容“没有什么神奇的节食能让你看起来像其他人”恰好符合语境，故填E。‎ ‎37. F 根据后句The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian可知，前句应与healthy健康的以及weight体重有关，F选项内容“身体健康与体重是否适合自己身体状况有关”符合语境，故填F。‎ ‎38. G 根据前句“想知道你体重是否符合健康标准应该去找医生或营养师”可知空格处与医生或营养师有关，G选项“他们会把你的体重于健康标准比较并确立目标”符合语境，故填G。‎ ‎39.C 根据该段最后一句 the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime可知减肥是需要持续终生的，C选项内容符合语境，故选C。‎ ‎40.A 根据Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than large ones，可知本段强调小的改变，A选项内容符合语境，故选A。‎ 听力原文 Text 1 ‎ M: I recently started drinking tea. It’s great, and I have a taste for it now. ‎ W: Well, I still drink regular coffee with a lot of milk and sugar. I know you don’t like it that way, but it tastes good to me! ‎ Text 2 ‎ W: I need you to help me with the chores when you get home from school.‎ M: Okay, Mom. What should I do? I cleaned my room yesterday.‎ W: If you can take out the trash, that would be so helpful. I’ll wash the clothes and dishes.‎ Text 3 ‎ M: Do you think school will be canceled tomorrow, Mom? The snow is coming down pretty heavily. ‎ W: I don’t know, but we can keep checking the news on TV. They’ll announce the school closing if necessary. ‎ Text 4 ‎ W: I’m so excited to see this movie! I’ve never been to a midnight opening.‎ M: You haven’t? I love them. It feels special, because it’s the middle of the week and late at night. And the only people here are really big fans of this film.‎ Text 5 ‎ W: Hey, Josh, will you take Pepper for a walk with me?‎ M: Sure! Let’s take her to the park. We should have time to play there and still make it back for dinner, so we don’t get in trouble with mom and dad.‎ W: Good idea. ‎ Text 6 ‎ M: I’ve counted this money three times, but I can’t get the right amount.‎ W: Well, what did you start with, Fred? $120?‎ M: Yes. We have two fifties, a ten, and two fives.‎ W: OK, and you sold a key chain — that’s five dollars…and two notebooks — that’s another two dollars, right?‎ M: Yes, that’s right. But no matter what I do, I always have an extra dollar.‎ W: Well, we can’t close the store until the numbers are right. Let me have a look.‎ M: Be my guest, Stephanie.‎ Text 7 ‎ M: Let’s go buy a new sofa. Ours is getting pretty rough-looking. I think it’s time to get rid of this one.‎ W: Okay! What kind of sofa do you think we should get?‎ M: Hmm, let’s see… First of all, we need to make sure that it’s big enough for one of our friends to sleep on, since we always have someone visiting us. And it has to be comfortable, too…so no leather!‎ W: But it has to look pretty. That means no silly ‎ flowers or a boring color!‎ M: Okay. I’d like to get a good deal for our money as well. ‎ W: Wow. I guess we know exactly what we need! Let’s head to the store. ‎ Text 8 ‎ W: I’d like to plant some flowers and bushes in the front and back yards. I noticed the other day that we are the only people on our street that don’t have a garden.‎ M: Well, I’m not sure. It will cost a lot of money and take a lot of time. Are you doing it just to fit in with everyone else?‎ W: No, that’s not the reason. I think their houses look nice with gardens. And I think ours would look better, too.‎ M: Okay. If that’s how you feel, we can go down to the local garden center and pick out some things. What kind of flowers would you like to plant? I like yellow ones and purple ones.‎ W: I’m not quite sure. I’d like to look at some different kinds. I love pink, so I’d want to choose some flowers in that color. I’m determined to make our home look pretty.‎ Text 9 ‎ W: I can’t wait until summer vacation! What are you doing this summer?‎ M: Well, my family is going to the beach for half a month. ‎ W: Do you rent a few hotel rooms or something?‎ M: No, we stay at my uncle’s house every summer in Destin, Florida. It’s my favorite time of the year! ‎ W: Oh, cool! That sounds great! What do you do there? ‎ M: Well, we hang out at the beach a lot, of course. My mom and my sister like to lie out on the beach, but my father and I usually surf or play beach volleyball with whoever is nearby.‎ W: That sounds like a lot of fun! What else do you do?‎ M: Let’s see… We go out to dinner some nights. Sometimes we pick up fresh seafood from the local grocery store and cook together at home. Those are my favorite times, just spending nights together as a family. Sometimes we watch movies or play card games. You know, we never really do things like that back at home.‎ W: It sounds like you will stay at the beach all the time!‎ M: You said it! That sure would be nice. ‎ Text 10 ‎ Ladies and gentlemen, we have an announcement for all passengers leaving for Western Europe. All flights have been canceled because of a large cloud of smoke that has traveled from a volcano. If you were planning to fly to Northern Europe today, please check with ‎ your airline to see if your flight is still scheduled to take off. We aren’t sure when the planes to Western Europe will be rescheduled. There is no rain in the forecast right now, but there is a chance that some strong winds from the east will clear the skies tomorrow. We apologize for this delay. Unfortunately, the airlines cannot provide you with a hotel for the evening, but we hope you’ll be comfortable in our airport. There are small cupboards with locks just outside each security check. You can store your luggage safely and freely. There is a quiet zone on the third floor with chairs that open out to make small beds. If you’re from the Dallas area, please pay special attention to your cellphone. You will receive a message from your airline if your flight gets scheduled to leave.‎
