It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Oceans Vacuum offers a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap rubbish. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years. Easy-On Shoes In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the Fly Ease. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Fly Ease shoes sells for $ 130. An Airport for Drones (无人机) As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020. 21. What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum? A. It can be a money-saver. B. It can grow year by year. C. It can tear plastic into pieces. D. It can be put into wide use soon. 22. What do we know about Nike? A. It offers free shoes to the disabled. B. It is designing new shoes frequently. C. It provides customer-friendly services. D. It responded to Matthew’s demand passively. 23. Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”? A. Because road travel there is tough. B. Because there are too many drones. C. Because they’re easier to construct than roads. D. Because they are receptive to new technology. B “BANG” the door caused a reverberation. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious. But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. It feels like there is an invisible door between us that can never be opened. I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the streets to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself, “ Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?” Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any sympathy or regret. After an argument, he will creep(蹑手蹑脚)up in my sleep room and then tuck(盖住)me underneath the covers. This was how he always be. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love — it is second to none. 24. The underlined word “reverberation’’ in Paragraph 1 refers to______. A. an earthquake B. a heavy blow C. a shake D. a sound forced back 25. When seeing a young father with a child in his arms, the writer might have the following feelings EXCEPT that________. A. she/he felt disappointed with his/her father B. she/he wished that the relation between him/her and his/her father could also be so harmonious C. she/he felt that happiness had been far away from him/her D. she/he admired them very much 26. Why do you think the father often shouts at his child? A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older. B. Perhaps the child has already grown up. C. Perhaps they never agree with each other. D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that. 27. What conclusion can you draw after reading the passage? A. The father treats his child in an unfair way. B. The father is actually kind to his child. C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his child. D. The father is always finding fault with his child. C Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in line and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”. Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping experience,simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the stores take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars:computer vision,sensor fusion,and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically monitors when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When you’ve done shopping,you can just leave the store. Shortly after,we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt. We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we're excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes. Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact (紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast.

Kicking stone balls During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. Flying kites Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 37 For example, the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style. Playing hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. Even nowadays, many children like playing it. There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease him. 38 39 The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music. Setting off firecrackers Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that there was a beast named Nian in ancient China. 40 After gunpowder was invented, it slowly replaced the bamboo joint cracker. Crackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize good fortune. A. Watching shadow plays B. Each of them has distinctive features. C. Different materials are used to make the kite. D. Shadow plays were the popular entertaining form in ancient times. E. And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make it explode. F. More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them. G. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. 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;每小题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,选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was a boy there were no smart phones or computers.

There is no doubt that WeChat makes communication convenient and our spare time colorful. However, there exist some potential risks if we overshare it. One severe problem is letting out privacy, which may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortable, for they think you are showing off. Therefore, we should never post our personal information in WeChat circle, and nor should we add strangers to the list of friends randomly. It’s wiser to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful. I would appreciate it if you could take my advice into consideration. Best wishes! Yours truly, Li Hua 听力原文: Text 1 M: Be glad you aren’t at the other restaurant. They serve the biggest meals. W: This is more than I can eat. Even you can’t finish it all. Text 2 M: You look tired, Mary. W: Yes, I feel tired. I have worked so hard preparing for the exams. Finally, I could enjoy my leisure time in my dreaming place. Text 3 W: How many hours per week are you working at the moment? M: Em… well, I’m working from Monday to Friday, and I will do the occasional Saturday. Text 4 M: Excuse me, can you help me? I bought two novels here 15 minutes ago, but I forgot to take them with me. W: Sure. Who served you, Sir? M: The girl who is busy writing over there. Text 5 M: I have to go to the toilet quite frequently. W: Well, it sounds as if you’ve picked up a stomach infection. Let’s check your temperature and blood pressure. Text 6 W: Do you know Betty?

Text 7 M: ⑧Look, the bus has just gone. What shall we do now? W: We should have left the concert half an hour earlier. M: Why don’t we take a taxi?

Perhaps he’ll take us home in his car. M: ⑩But his car is too small. There’s only room for one, I’m afraid. W: ⑩Sorry, Jeff! But you know how it is: your mom and dad are not as strict as mine.

You can ask a classmate about your studies, and you can also talk about the hobbies you have in common with him or her. If a classmate is in trouble in life or study, you should be ready to help. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends as you like. W: Thank you very much, Mr. Smith. Text 9 M: I had a bad experience last week. W: I’m sorry to hear that.
