2． "You'll be blind by the time you're twenty-five." a doctor at Children's Hospital predicted. "Your blood sugars are much too high." It consumed me.No matter where I was or what I was doing， it was overhead like a dark cloud，waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting.Losing myself in painting filled me with peace.Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was 11 years old，my right eye went blind.Precisely three months after I was 15，I had a massive hemorrhage（大出血）in my left eye because of an accident.For the next twenty years，vision came and went.I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision.But after one final operation，I lost the battle and all remaining vision.And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate，I enrolled in（注冊(cè)）a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired（視力受損）.I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software.A whole new world opened up to me through this program as a turning point.
"Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind." my instructor told me. "You can use the Internet，e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features." It's amazing!Hope went up for the first time in years. "By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse，you can use Microsoft Access，Excel and PowerPoint." my instructor added.
For the next several years，I learned that when one door closes，another door opens.There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology.Not only do I have a speaking computer，but I have a speaking watch，alarm clock and calculator.
（1）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to？
A．The right opportunity.
B．The children's hospital.
C．Having too much sugar.
D．Losing my sight in the future.
（2）What happened when the author was 15 years old？
A．One of his eyes got injured.
B．He went blind completely.
C．He gave painting.
D．He had many eye operations.
（3）What made the author hopeful again？
A．An inspiring speech.
B．A meaningful performance.
C．A special program.
D．An important interview.

A．No pain，no gain.
B．Stay positive in the face of life's difficulties.

D．Every man has his price.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
3． You signed up for soccer，and played every game of the season.Sure，you're not the best player on the team，but most days you gave it your all.Do you deserve a trophy （獎(jiǎng)杯）？
If the decision is up to Carol Dweck，the answer would likely be no.She's a psychology professor at Stanford University，California.She says a player doesn't have to be the best to get a trophy.But those who receive an award should have to work for it.She suggests trophies go to the most improved player，or the one who contributed most to the team spirit，as well as to those who play the best.
Others say that there's no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport，regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.
"I think we should encourage kids' participation in sports，" says Kenneth Barish，a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College，in New York City. "A trophy is one way to encourage kids' efforts."
Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy，we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything. "Winning is only part of the equation （等式）." Barish told TFK. "Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise."
There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older，says Barish.They'll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl.For now，he thinks there's nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners.That means trophies for everyone.
From my point of veiw，the trophy has to stand for something.If we give a trophy to everyone，then the award has no value.Trophies should be given for particular reasons，such as improving in a sport，which teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying out best.
（1）According to Carol Dweck，which player should receive a trophy？
A．Peter，who is ready to help his partners to score goals.
B．David，a soccer player who is both clever and funny.
C．Tony，the most attractive player of the soccer team
D．Jim，a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.
（2）Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with？
A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.
B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.
C．Kids should be given trophies for taking part in a sport
D．There is no need to give kids courage to play a sport.
（3）The underlined phrase "single out" in Paragraph 6 probably means "".
A．remember
B．stress
C．value
D．choose
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Which one do you agree with？
B．Who deserves a trophy？
C．What is a trophy？
D．How can kids win a trophy？組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
4． The Notre Dame （巴黎圣母院） fire has been put out，but its spire （尖頂） and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged.The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. "What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore."
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them，namely through a video game called Assassin's Creed：Unity.In this game，the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality，and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.Further，with virtual reality technology，which is already quite mature，one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there.Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then.By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers，building 3 D models with multiple images，as well as measuring everything precisely，engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital model has great useful value.First，it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching jye.aim.The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.Furthermore，it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet.In 2000，a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo，which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.Above all，it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
（1）What can we see about Notre Dame in the game？
A．The damaged Notre Dame.
B．Its former look.
C．The big fire.
D．Its wooden shape.
（2）What will engineers do to create a digital mode of the ancient buildings？
A．Build 3 D models of full size.
B．Scan the photos of the buildings.
C．Improve the technology needed.
D．Measure all the parts exactly.
（3）How does the author prove the digital model has value in use？
A．By classification.
B．By giving examples.
C．By comparison.
D．By listing numbers.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the application of the technology？
A．Negative.
B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive.
D．Uncertain.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
5．California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.（1）
It will go into effect on January 1，2023.
California's fur law was one of several bills designed to prevent cruelty to animals. "California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur，" said Governor Newsom in a news report. "（2）We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze（高空秋千）wires or jumping through flames."（3）More than a dozen European countries，including the United Kingdom，Austria，Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.
（4）"The signing of the ban shows the point that today's customers simply don't want wild animals to suffer extreme pain and fear while keeping up with the fashion，" said Kitty Block，president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States and president of Humane Society International.Not everyone，however，was pleased with the ban.Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business，says Hyatt，an owner of a fur store. （5）
Many retailers are also ending fur sales.In mid-October，Macy's（American's department store）announced it will stop fur from all its stores by the end of 2020.The stores will also close all fur vaults and salons.Other fashion brands such as Prada，Gucci，Michael Kors and Burberry have taken similar steps in recent years.
A.But we are doing more than that.
B.California is taking the lead in protecting animals.
C.Similar laws have been carried out globally already.
D.And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.
E.Two other California cities had already banned fur sales.
F.Not surprisingly，the ban is welcomed by animal rights activists.
G.The ban applies to clothing，shoes，handbags and other things that contain fur.組卷：11引用：3難度：0.5

By far，the most technologically challenging railway ever built was（1）（probable） the Qinghai-Tibet Railway，completed in 2006，which connects Xining to Lhasa.The railway was first planned in the 1950s，but the technical difficulties were too much（2 ）（overcome）.It was not until 1984（3）the first 814-kilometer section of the railway，from Xining to Golmud，was completed.
The biggest issue was the permafrost （凍結(jié)帶） -frozen earth.In the summer，usually（4 ）（melt） at a fast speed，the top layer of the permafrost turns to mud，which makes the ground unstable.（5）（various） of solutions were used to get around this.In some cases，railway bridges（6）（build）.In other cases，engineers installed pipes under the ground to keep it frozen during the summer.Finally，in some areas it was impossible to build the railway over the permafrost，（7）engineers tunneled through it.
It is hoped that the experience of building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway can be used in（8）new project，linking China with Pakistan.This railway will travel 1，000 kilometers（9 ）the Pamir Mountains，which are nicknamed the Roof of the World.Building such a railway will be undoubtedly a technical challenge.When to start construction on this project（10）（discuss） at present.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5
