【题目】
After a year of fights between American citizens and police officers, police in Alaska (阿拉斯加) are trying something different: Making 2017 a “Year of Kindness.” The police in Juneau, Alaska started Acts of Kindness to encourage citizens to do at least one act of kindness every day. The idea for the activity came from the policewoman Kris Sell. “I had this idea in August last year that we needed to do something, and if people have these attacks at their hate, we can reduce their hate. And how we can reduce their hate is with kindness,” Sell said.
The Juneau police are doing several different things to support Acts of Kindness. For example, officers are giving away donated clothes the first Saturday of each month to anyone who needs them. Sell also said the police had developed a ‘kindness surge’ calendar two months before. Juneau citizens signed up for weekly activities on the planner last month.
Acts of Kindness has received a lot of support. “The town was very excited about it. I’m not sure why the effort is welcome by so many people, but I think it has to do with a situation that people don’t like seeing around them, and they want to do something to change their environment,” Sell told the reporters.
Sell thought police officers should take the lead on Acts of Kindness. She hopes the activity will spread across the country so that other communities become nicer places to live.

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了阿拉斯加州的警察正在努力使2017年成为“友善之年”，朱诺的一位警察Alaska想到了开展“善意行为”活动，例如：向有需要的人捐赠衣物。并且号召朱诺的市民一起努力，使周围的居住环境变得更加美好，将来这个活动有望被全国推广，使其他社区也变得更加美好。
【1】细节理解题。根据I had this idea in August last year that we needed to do something.我去年八月有了这个想法，我们必须要做点事情。可知，这位警察是去年八月想到的这个主意，故选A。
【2】词义猜测题。For example, officers are giving away donated clothes the first Saturday of each month to anyone who needs them. 例如，每个月的第一个星期六，警察都会把捐赠的衣服送给有需要的人。句中who need them是一个定语从句，them是一个代词，作动词need的宾语，根据前面的donated clothes，可知who need them意为“需要衣服的那些人”，them代指clothes。故选D。
【3】细节理解题。根据I'm not sure why the effort is welcome by so many people, but I think it has to do with a situation that people don't like seeing around them, and they want to do something to change their environment. 我不确定为什么这么多人都欢迎警察所做出的的这种努力，但我我认为这和人们不喜欢周围的环境有关，他们想做些事情来改变他们的环境。可知，镇上的许多人之所以支持Acts of Kindness（善意行为）这个活动，是因为他们对环境不满意。故选A。
【4】细节理解题。根据She hopes the activity will spread across the country so that other communities become nicer places to live. 她希望这项活动能在全国推广，使其他社区成为更好的居住地点。可知，在越来越多市民的支持下，如果这项活动能在全国推广，会使得其他社区的环境变得更好，使其成为更好的居住地点。故选B。
【5】推理判断题。A项，一部动作类电影，文章内容与电影无关，所以排除A项；C项，一则侦探故事，虽然文章内容与警察有关，但并未讲述侦破案件，所以排除C项；D项，一本科技类杂志，文章内容与科技无关，故排除D项。B项，一则新闻报道，可以报道当地警察为了改善当地的环境，减少冲突所做出的的努力。故选B。

Do you use emoji very often? It's said that emoji is the fastest growing language in history. Five billion emojis are sent every day just on some social media, such as Wechat and Facebook.
They're appearing in some surprising places too. One court ( 法庭 ) judge in England used a smiley face emoji in a document ( 文件, 文献 ) to make it easy to explain the court's decision to children. It's not surprising that there's a day to celebrate emojis, but what do you know about its organizers, the website Emojipedia?
The company Unicode actually creates the computer code that gives us emojis, but Emojipediais where you can learn exactly what each emoji means and how to use it. Most of us probably know and use the most popular emojis, like the classic smiley face, heart or the smiling face with tears of laughter. But if you want to grow your emoji vocabulary, you can use Emojipedia to find out new ways to speak emoji.
Unicode adds new emojis all the time. They might take time to be shown on all platforms and phones, but you will see them immediately on Emojipedia. An important improvement to the emoji list, which had 2, 823 emojis after its 2018 update, is to make the emojis more various. The code for each emoji is the same, but different platforms, like Wechat or Facebook, design their emojis in different ways. When Emojipedia was deciding on which day to hold World Emoji Day, only Apple was using a calendar emoji with a date on, 17 July. So, they decided to celebrate World Emoji Day on 17 July too.
If you want to send someone a message using emoji to celebrate World Emoji Day, Emojipedia has plenty to choose from, including six colors of raising hand emojis, five party emojis and two kinds of fireworks. You can even choose a world globe that shows the part of the world you live in. Whichever emojis you choose to celebrate, we wish you Happy World Emoji Day!
【1】Why did a court judge use a smiley face emoji in a document?
A. To surprise children.B. To play a joke on children.
C. To attract children to study the law.D. To explain the court's decision to children.
【2】Different platforms .
A. add new emojis all the timeB. improve the emojis after 2018

A. Only Apple celebrates World Emoji Day on 17 July.
B. We can choose 13 emojis to celebrate World Emoji Day.

【题目】
Art, as we know, is subjective. What one person considers a priceless masterpiece others might see as nothing more than a giant black square. But there’s one very specific kind of painting that almost everyone sees the same way — the kind with the “strange” eyes that seem to follow you around the room. So what causes this optical illusion (视觉错觉) and how do artists achieve this effect?
It turns out, for even a moderately skilled artist, this effect isn’t a difficult thing to achieve. In fact, the artists need to use a little illusion of depth, making the person depicted on the canvas appears somewhat 3D on a 2D canvas, and to adjust the gaze (凝视) of the eyes so that they would be looking at someone standing right in front of the picture.
So what exactly is going on here in our brains that then makes it seem like the eyes follow you even if you move away from being front and center? As demonstrated by a team of researchers from Ohio State University, as you move to the side, the “near” and “far” points of the 2D image don’t really change. These near and far points are defined as visible points that, if the image was 3D, would appear nearest and furthest away from the viewer at a given angle.
The idea is simple. No matter what angle you look at a painting from, the painting itself doesn’t change. You’re looking at a flat surface. The key is that the near points and far points of the picture remained the same no matter the angle the picture was viewed from. When observing real surfaces in the natural environment, the near and far points vary when we change viewing direction. When we observe a picture on the wall, the visual information that defines near and far points is unaffected by viewing direction. Still, we willingly accept and interpret the thing in the painting as if it were a real object.
Thus, because the perspective, shadows, and light on the painting don’t change as you move around, if the eyes in the painting would be staring directly at the observer who is standing in front of the painting, it creates something of an optical illusion in your brain so that the eyes will continue to seem to stare at you as you move to the side.
In contrast to the eyes following you trick, if the artist tweaks the painting a bit, for example the artist adjusts the gaze of the eyes so that the eyes are looking off somewhere else instead of directly looking at a potential observer, no matter where you stand, the eyes will never seem to be looking at you.
The technique first began popularly showing up in art around the 14th century when the artist and architect Fillipo Brunelleshi introduced the art world to the idea of “linear perspective”, being painting with the idea of everything in the picture converging (聚集) on a specific point on the horizon, creating the illusion of depth. Linear perspective, combined with skilled use of light and shadow allows artists to create masterfully realistic paintings, including sometimes of people that stare at you creepily no matter where you stand.
【1】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 1?
A.To lead in the question why staring eyes seem to follow us in a painting.
B.To make a comparison between a priceless masterpiece and a black square.
C.To introduce the topic that the optical illusion can make the painting look real.
D.To prove that people can think alike when they admire a certain kind of painting.
【2】What can't we learn from the passage?
A.The visible points of the image won’t change in the natural environment.
B.The near and far points of a painting are affected by our viewing direction.
C.The viewing direction of viewers can make the image in the painting look real.
D.The optical illusion in our brain makes us feel the eyes in the painting staring at us.
【3】The 3rd paragraph is mainly about ________.
A.who took part in the research.
B.how long the research lasted.
C.what was found in the research.
D.how the research was performed.
【4】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “tweek” in the passage?
A.changeB.decorateC.moveD.turn
