In the case of China, the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West.‎ ‎1. MeituPic Developed by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app ‎ and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.‎ In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement, video editing and many other features.‎ ‎2. Tiantianpitu Tiantianpitu, is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent. Similar to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters, blemish（瑕疵）removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.‎ Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’ s apps, some argue that the user base of Tencent’ s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu’ s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu’ s users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features.‎ ‎3. FaceU In contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature, encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers ( 贴纸) — and the strategy is undoubtedly working. Launched in 2016, the app, which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, has twice made it onto the Apple store’ s Chart for top apps.‎ ‎21. Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps except .‎ A. Meipai B. MeituPic C. Beauty Plus D. Tiantianpitu ‎22. What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially?‎ A. The amount of Meitu Apps’s potential users.‎ B. Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps. C. The various kinds of photo-editing functions.‎ D. The room to try out more new features.‎ ‎23. According to the passage, what do the three Apps have in common?‎ A. They mainly target young users. B. They all launched in 2016.‎ C. They are popular and hot. D. They specialize in photo editing.‎ B Matthew Shifrin got his first Lego blocks when he was 5. “I have been in love with Legos ever since,”‎ he says. Shifrin is blind. Now 18, he has spent years trying to make Legos easier for blind kids to enjoy.‎ The blocks themselves are not difficult for blind people to put together. But Lego’s large sets –––– including bridges, starships, historic scene, and famous buildings –––– are a different story. They have hundreds or even thousands of pieces and complex written instructions. These make it very hard for blind people to build a set without a lot of help from a person who can see. “I was always just drooling over the sets because they sounded so amazing,” Shifrin says. “But I knew that I would never have access to them.”‎ That changed on Shifrin’s 13th birthday. Lilya Finkel, a family friend, gave him the Lego set Battle of Alamut, a castle with 821 pieces. She had translated the instructions into Braille( 盲文). She had also made other changes, like dividing the pieces into plastic bags based on which step they were to be used in. Shifrin could build the set without his parents’ help. “This was a rare case in which the impossible was ‎ made possible and the playing field was leveled,” he says.‎ Now Shifrin hopes to share accessible Lego instructions with other blind kids. He and Finkel have translated more than 20 Lego instructions for the blind. Shifrin has also set up a website, Lego for the Blind, where people can download instructions and volunteer to help translate instructions into Braille. “I hope that the next generation of blind children will benefit and will feel the level playing field that I felt when I built that first set,” he says.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word mean in para 2?‎ A. creative B. crazy C. indifferent D. unconcerned ‎25. What was special about Shifrin’s birthday gift from Finkel?‎ A. It was a castle. B. It was bagged well.‎ C. It was blind-friendly. D. It was hard to put together.‎ ‎26. Which of the following words can best describe Shifrin?‎ A. Helpful. B. Childish C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Amazing success. B. Games for children. C. The way to build with Legos. D. For the love of Lego.‎ C Londoners are great readers. They read and buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books ‎–––– especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in ‎ the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound(装订) between hard covers.‎ There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book–selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!‎ Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand books, the collectors must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts. And the collectors, some professionals and some amateurs, have been waiting for them. In places like this they can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.‎ ‎28. “Londoners are great readers.” means that .‎ A. Londoners are great because they read a lot B. There are a great number of readers in London C. Londoners are readers who read only great books D. Londoners read a lot ‎29. According to this passage, Charring Cross Road .‎ A. is in the suburbs of London B. is famous for its bookshops C. contains various kinds of shops D. is the busiest street in London ‎30. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Buy books in a most busy street. B. Waste time looking for books. C. Move away from a busy street. D. Take a risk of losing one’s life.‎ ‎31. On Farringdon Road, .‎ A. you can find fine books for the latest books B. there are only small bookshops for the secondhand books C. the same books as the ones in the bookshops of Charring Cross Road are sold D. you can see booksellers selling books on handcarts D Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.‎ Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.‎ The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful it can ‎ have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barmes.‎ Ten healthy volunteers ( 志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicines are stopping coughs.‎ The team found that, when the volunteers were given thebromine, the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher level of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.‎ The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity ( 神经 活动 ), which cause coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.‎ ‎32. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine .‎ A. can be a more effective cure for coughs B. can be harmful to people’s health C. cannot be separated from chocolate D. cannot be as effective as codeine ‎33. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?‎ A. Theobromine B. Codeine C. Capsaicin D. Placebo ‎34. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment .‎ A. were patients with bad coughs B. suffered little side effects C. received standard treatments D. were divided into three groups ‎35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Codeine: A New Medicine B. Chocolate May Cure Coughs C. Cough Treatment: A Hard Case D. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs 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。‎ Easy Ways to keep Your Brain Sharp Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 36 Read on for some techniques worth trying.‎ ‎1. 37 ‎ People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 38 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better, In other words, keep your brain looking forward.‎ ‎2. Go for a walk.‎ Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise pr oduces chemicals that are good for your brain. 39 ‎ ‎3. Learn something new.‎ Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind, But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 40 Or go dancing with your friends.‎ A. Focus on the future.‎ B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.‎ C. It should be something like learning gardening.‎ D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.‎ E. But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events.‎ F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.‎ G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选取可以填入空白处的最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ When I was twelve years old back in the 1950s my parents allowed me to apply for an afternoon ‎ newspaper route. I had a friend who was a little older than me. He had a morning route and he was 41 what I considered big money. I had helped him 42 his newspapers a few times and I thought I could 43 it, too. In those days most towns had both a morning newspaper and an afternoon newspaper. My parents did not want me to have to 44 before dawn but they said yes to an afternoon route.‎ I was 45 about being able to make my own money. 46 , I needed a bike to be able to handle the large bag 47 for carrying the newspapers.

They know that no matter what difficulties come their way, they have the ability 62 (solve) them. Self-confident people tend to see their lives in a positive light even when things aren’t going so well, and they are typically 63‎ ‎(satisfy) with themselves. Wouldn’t 64 be amazing to have this kind of self-confidence? Guess what? You can.‎ Self-confidence can be learned, practiced and mastered — just like any 65 skills. You can begin by changing your body language. Just the simple act of 66 (pull) your shoulders back gives others the ‎67 (impress) that you are a confident person. Next, look at the person you are talking to — keeping eye contact shows confidence. Last, speak slowly. Research has proved that those 68 take time to speak slowly and 69 (clear) feel more self-confident.

One day he was having a yard sale and the old man living next door comes by to help. As the old man looked over the things on the yard who were to be sold, he stopped at a box of golden balls for Christmas trees.

Secondly, campaigns should be launched to remind the pubic to obey the public rules.‎ I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into serious account.‎ ‎ ‎ Yours Sincerely, Li Hua
