There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.‎ Alcohol (酒)‎ Shocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC. Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.‎ Tea China is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC. Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.‎ The Mechanical Clock Have you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.‎ Silk Fabric Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.‎ ‎1.

His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather's ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family's footsteps to protect the planet's endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.‎ Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 2003-2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.‎ For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.‎ In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help ‎ restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide.‎ From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien's Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.‎ Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans and engage with ocean explorers directly through social media.‎ ‎4. What is Not Fabien’s job?‎ ‎ A. Ocean explorer B. Documentary filmmaker ‎ C. Environmentalist D. Media manager ‎5. How is Paragraph 2 developed?‎ ‎ A. By providing facts. B. By offering analyses.‎ ‎ C. By making comparisons. D. By drawing conclusions.‎ ‎6. We can learn from the text that ________.‎ ‎ A. Fabien's “Plant A Fish” project has already achieved its final goal ‎ B. Fabien's Mission 31 broke the records of former ocean explorations ‎ C. Fabien's TV special about sharks is based on his childhood experiences ‎ D. It took Fabien four years to produce Ocean Adventures all on his own ‎7. In which part of a website can we read the text?‎ ‎ A. Modern Technology. B. Space Exploration.‎ ‎ C. Outstanding Figures. D. Fantastic Wildlife.‎ C When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先).This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.‎ Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came ‎ from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.‎ Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be gained any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.‎ Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.‎ So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize. ‎ ‎8. According to Paragraph 1, students_________. ‎ ‎ A. regard music as a way of entertainment B. disagree with their parents on education ‎ C. view music as an ignored subject D. prefer the arts to science ‎9. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ___________.‎ ‎ A. compare it with rock music B. show music reflects a society ‎ C. introduce American musical traditions D. prove music influences people's lifestyles ‎10. According to the passage, the arts and science________.‎ ‎ A. approach the world in different ways B. explore different phenomena of the world ‎ C. express people's feelings in different ways D. explain what it means to be human differently ‎11. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Music education deserves more attention.‎ ‎ B. Music should be of top education priority.‎ ‎ C. Music is an effective communication tool.‎ ‎ D. Music education makes students more imaginative. ‎ D Alibaba Cloud and the Hangzhou city government announced the launch of ET City Brain 2.0, a cloud—powered and Al-driven urban traffic-management system that aims to increase the city’s efficiency.‎ After over two years of testing in Alibaba’s home base, ET City Brain has become the new infrastructure (基础设施) for Hangzhou, with a total coverage of 420 square kilometers in area, including over 1,300 traffic lights. Over 200 traffic officers are connected via mobile phones, enabling them to receive real-time alerts on any traffic-related emergencies.‎ In version 2.0, the system will optimize the city’s firefighting abilities by providing key information to firefighters, such as water pressure, the number and position of fire hydrants (消防栓) in a given area, the location of gas pipes and other details they need to know. The information is instant, making the entire firefighting process faster, safer and more accurate.‎ City Brain gives meaning to data. By using AI and advanced algorithms (计算程序), City Brain is able to analyze a large amount of data and turn them into useful information in real-time speed.‎ As a result of City Brain’s ability to predict traffic flow, detect accidents and provide instant feedback, Hangzhou has dropped from 5th to the 57th on the list of China’s most congested cities. Hangzhou is probably the only city that can tell you how many cars are on the street at any given time.‎ In the case of medical emergencies, City Brain is able to change traffic lights, so emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks can head to the scene without interruption, accelerating their arrival time by 49%.‎ Dr. Wang Jian, the head of Alibaba’s Technology Steering Committee who invented the term “City Brain”, said the system is designed to empower a city to act quickly and directly. It is more than just about traffic management. It’s really about how to make city more livable at a time of shrinking natural resources around the globe. “It is a matter of sustainability, while using as little natural resources as possible,” Wang said, “This is just the beginning.”‎ 12. What benefit will ET City Brain bring?‎ ‎ A. Lower crime rates. B. Efficient government.‎ ‎ C. Less traffic congestion. D. Improved medical care.‎ ‎13. Which of the following functions of the city Brain is NOT mentioned in the text?‎ ‎ A. Predicting traffic flow. B. Giving quick feedback.‎ ‎ C. Changing traffic lights. D. Handling traffic accidents.‎ ‎14. Which of the following best explains “optimize” in paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. Better. B. Practise. C. Operate. D. Emphasize.‎ ‎15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. ET City Brain 2.0 is a fully developed version.‎ ‎ B. Alibaba targets environmentally-friendly development.‎ ‎ C. The government is devoted to improving the system.‎ ‎ D. The system can solve the problem of lack of resources.‎ 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。‎ Food is so much a part of daily life that people often take eating for granted. 16 Now is a good time for you to think carefully about this question: What kinds of needs does food meet?‎ ‎ 17 Food supplies the energy needed for day-to-day activities.
