【题目】Mention the word “coding” and the first image that comes to mind is a complicated algorithm（运算法则）that has no relationship to the real world.It is,therefore,no wonder that most kids avoid learning this skill that is becoming increasingly important in today's world.Now,thanks to a small robot,even kids as young as five,will be demanding program.Root,a robot,can be accessed using an iPad.It has been designed to teach coding to kids at various levels.For beginners or young children,Root is less about coding but more about problem-solving.
Kids can construct a “what if” situation by moving icons（图标）around on the tablet and observing the consequences of their action instantly.This simple “cause and effect” logic can be used to teach the robot to “drive” along a vertical dry-erase whiteboard and quickly draw with a dry-erase marker.Root can also be instructed to move around the floor,draw patterns,and avoid barriers.
As students get more comfortable with the concept,they can download commands,meaning that Root can be told to draw a race track on a whiteboard,and then multiple Root robots can be instructed to race each other.Other fun options include programming Root to go faster when driving over the color green and coming to a stop upon sensing the color red.That's just the beginning of the possibilities—Root can also be taught to flee when it detects danger,which in this case is the beam from a flashlight,and even play “Angry Birds” on a whiteboard using real-world physics.Since multiple Roots can be used at the same time,the robot is the perfect classroom tool to introduce coding to young kids.
Raphael believes that this novel approach to coding will excite great interest because unlike the traditional method,Root makes coding fun for even the youngest of students.Unfortunately,the robot,successfully tested by kids in the laboratory,is not yet available for schools.The researchers estimate that Root will be sold for about $200, making it fairly affordable for anyone that wishes to learn how to code.
【1】Why are kids afraid to learn to code according to the author?
A. It is very difficult for them to learn this skill.
B. It gets them more uncomfortable to use computers.
C. Learning code will cost them a large sum of money.
D. Kids find it will have less fun playing computer games.
【2】The robot called Root helps kids to______.
A. change kids' study attitudes B. move icons around more easily
C. greatly improve kids' test marks D. feel at ease when learning to code
【3】What do we know about the robot?
A. It teaches kids to code. B. It is used to design programs.
C. It makes “Angry Birds” popular. D. It helps kids to break codes.

This has become a problem for city governments. It is not uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk. This blocks cars and people in already 【10】 (crowd) cities.
A woman interviewed by the media said, “Bike sharing is really convenient, but we need taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes.”

【题目】It was the men’s figure skating final of the Winter Olympics when I was 16.I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains: American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. As a Northern Californian, I was for my fellow countryman. He also grew up in Northern California. We'd skated on the same ice. Brain performed successfully. The champion! I jumped in the air when his score went up.
But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brain sat in front of the camera, surrounded by a group of journalists. Brain was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics,
I thought, I loved skating because I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words.
What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? I'd freeze up like the ice beneath my skates! And yet, there was so much I would love to say, about my family and all the support they'd given me and about following my dream of being a skating champion.
I worked very hard the next few years — on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. And they got to know me. Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself, to be honest and gracious and do my best, just like on the ice, to answer their questions.
So when my big moment came four years after Brain's, I was ready. Remember: when you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.
【1】What information can we get from the first paragraph?
A. The author lives a difficult life. B. The author comes from Canada.
C. The author preferred Boitano to win. D. Orser won the gold medal.
【2】What did Brain’s press conference remind the author of ?
A. Her fear of public speaking.
B. Her pride in Brain's victory.
C. Her dream of becoming a world champion.
D. Her hard training as an Olympic competitor.
【3】What does the underlined word “off ” possibly refer to?
A. Challenges in school. B. Contact with reporters.
C. Achievements in skating. D. Competitions with others
【4】What was the author ready to do according to the last paragraph?
A. Do her best to win. B. Enter the Olympic final.
C. Make friends with reporters. D. Talk to the press afterwards.

【题目】An Oceans Vacuum
There’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. 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 Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. 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, Mathew 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 FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase 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.

【题目】选择合适的选项补全短文。
It's the time of year when graduates are looking forward to putting constant exams behind and moving on to a more exciting stage of their lives. But in the digital age, not everything is so easily left behind, because they have created a digital footprint that's often not easy to cover up. However, there are various actions they can take to make that online presence（网络形象） more appreciating.
Clean up your Facebook account
Clean up your Facebook page and get rid of anything that could be considered offensive （冒犯的，无礼的） or held against you. Remember, the test is no longer “Would you want grandma to see it?” but “”
Use a professional looking photo, so make sure that first impression is a good one. Again, what worked at school is unlikely to impress the employers. Also, be consistent （一致的）and use the same photo on all your online platforms.
While it's important to make the transition（过渡）from school to the workplace, you don't want to leave everything behind. Make a point of keeping in touch with your school friends, teachers, professors, sports coaches, or anyone who could be helpful to you as you establish a career.
Be yourself
Nobody can be more like you than you. Turn your social networking pages into your own personal website, and start marketing your own individual ,brand!
A．Grow your network
B．Search your memory
C．A picture is worth a thousand words
D．Whom would you want to see it?

G．Here are a few suggestions that you might want to pass on.

【题目】It’s easy to spot signs of physical suffering, but much emotional pain can be easily masked. 【1】 “We don’t tend to have conversations about mental well-being,” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen, a clinic psychologist. Simply asking someone “How are you” may just get “Fine, thank you”, says Van Dahlen. “It’s important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they’re afraid to ask for,” she adds. The following are four signs a friend might need help.
【2】
If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting — maybe he’s not smiling much these days, for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying, ‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?’”, Van Dahlen says.
He’s unusually unhappy or annoyed.
【3】 “It may take more than one time to follow up if you’re talking to someone who is upset,” Van Dahlen says, “but if a friend responds with anger, that could mean you’re onto something.”
He’s less put together than usual.
Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene (卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing. 【4】 He seems overwhelmed (压倒) by life.
No one is happy all the time, but if your once optimistic friend can’t find anything to be hopeful about, he may be having thoughts of worthlessness, sadness and something negative. “【5】” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need.”
A. He’s acting a bit more withdrawn.
B. He doesn’t seem like himself lately.
C. Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend.
D. Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.
E. It’s a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health.
F. Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.
G. We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health.

【题目】Like most of you, I’ve grown up with science putting it into my head that eating Cholesterol (胆固醇) is bad for us. My doctor has scolded me repeatedly for liking high-cholesterol snacks. But now, after 40 years of giving cholesterol such a rap, the scientific experts are reportedly ready to reverse (颠倒) themselves. Suddenly, we’re going to be told that high-cholesterol foods are not bad for us after all.
This isn’t the first time science reverses what it believes to be true, nor will it be the last. To optimists, the fluidity of science’s conclusions is a good thing - prove that science is always correcting itself in light of the very latest information. But a modem society that looks increasingly to science for not just what to eat, but also how to behave and what to think? How can we trust an authority that often changes its mind in extreme ways?
Science’s typical way isn’t limited to matters of nutrition. Go ahead and check it out for yourself by looking at the qualifiers used in the vast majority of honestly written science news articles. You’ll see that the stories are laced with weak words and phrases such as: some, in certain circumstances, probably, perhaps, may, could, tends, suggests, indicates, according to, is linked to, plays a role in. The grave problem I’ve observed over the years is that too often science and its reporters create the impression of certainty when none is proved. The cholesterol story is but one example of that make-believe certainty.
How much should we be concerned about this? A great deal, I believe, given science’s great and growing influence on our lives. At the very least, each of us needs to -understand that the scientific worldview — impressive as it surely is — is built on shifting sands. As Einstein once observed, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”
【1】The underlined part “giving cholesterol such a rap” (in Para. 1) means the author .
A. always promotes use of cholesterol B. sometimes stands for cholesterol
C. avoids cholesterol generally D. eats cholesterol regularly
【2】In the eyes of the author, changes in scientific statements .
A. are worrying B. are meaningless
C. are a good thing in a way D. are the major way to improve science
【3】According to the text, which of the following is NOT the word commonly used in scientific articles?
A. Likely B. Surely
C. Seems D. Appears
【4】What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Science can blind us.
B. Science need be open to doubt.
C. Science is not as important as thought.
D. Science should be built on experiments.
