Right now I am at the top of Mount Raven where the temperature is plus two and expected to rise to about six degrees by noon. Overnight temperature will probably drop to at least minus seven. Tomorrow’s forecast. With the wind chill factor, that could put us at a record low of minus twenty. Conditions are perfect for skiing this weekend, but if you’re determined to head out to the slopes tomorrow, please remember to put on warm clothes to protect yourself from the cold, especially exposed areas like your ears, cheeks and hands. Now, we have to go back to the newsroom for a look at what’s happening in sports. Have a splendid weekend!

This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today. All I wanted to do was go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup. But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things. Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I.
But today I had to give up our evening. I knew how tired I was, so I just said, “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.”
He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he actually meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay”. And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. And his eyes lighted up. After I put the soup on the desk and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword—together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Bryan’s grandmother was tired.
B. Bryan’s mom drank a bowl of soup.
C. Bryan came with his father that day.
D. Bryan played with his parents that day.
25. Why did the author agree to spend time with Bryan?
A. She was required to do so.
B. She was not good at saying no.
C. She wanted to play games with Bryan.
D. She didn’t want to leave Bryan disappointed.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “shadow” in paragraph 3?
A. sickness B. selfishness C. kindness D. sadness
27. Which of the following can best describe Bryan?
A. Young but loud. B. Careful and loving.
C. Noisy but curious. D. Brave and clever.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者工作回到家非常疲惫,迫切地需要休息,但是当她看到自己六岁的外孙在家里等她,渴望她的陪伴时,她还是强打精神,亲手为外孙做了热汤,随后便睡着了。懂事的外孙一直陪伴在作者身边,照顾着她,两人就这样相互陪伴在一起,就感到非常幸福。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today.”(这周比平时忙,今天我需要睡觉或休息。)和“But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week.”(但当我看到我女儿的车时,我知道这是Bryan的夜晚。自从他的父母分开以来,我一直试图让我六岁的外孙每周至少和我呆上几个小时。)可知,作者是Bryan的外祖母,她当天非常疲惫。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. ”(我看到了布莱恩眼中的阴影,别的东西也在改变,也许他以为我不会再让他来了—— 今晚不会,下周不会,永远不会。最后,我同意了。)可知,Bryan以为作者不愿意让他再来自己家中,所以感到非常伤心、失望,作者不想让自己的外孙失望,所以同意他留下来。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever.”(也许他以为我不会再让他来了 —— 今晚不会,下周不会,永远不会。)可知,Bryan以为自己的外祖母不希望他再来自己家中,以为她不再爱他,所以心里感到伤心、难过,作者在他眼中看到了这种情绪,故“shadow”表示“难过”。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs,”(当我醒来的时候,我的腿上盖着一件外套,)可知,Bryan怕外祖母着凉,所以给她盖上了外套,可见他非常细心;结合“When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said.”(当他发现我醒了,他跑过来给了我一个大大的拥抱。“我爱你,外婆,”他说。)可知,Bryan非常爱自己的外祖母,是一个有爱心的孩子。故选B。
C
“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on Google.com. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective (侦探) named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.
28. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A. Word-by-word translations in America.
B. The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”
C. “Long time no see.” used by Americans every day.
D. “Long time no see.” used as a standard American English greeting.
29. What can be inferred according to paragraph 3?
A. All kinds of languages are affected by cultures.
B. Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.
C. Cultures can’t be changed in the huge melting pot.
D. Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”
30. What’s the author’s attitude to the American’s mixed pot?
A. Opposed. B. Curious. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B. The melting pot is the symbol of American culture.
C. Some American expressions can be used in China.
D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
【答案】28 D 29. B 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。 主要介绍了以Long time no see!这句话为例,说明了美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富的社会现象。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her.(后来,我的朋友告诉我这是标准的美国问候语。我太惊讶了,不敢相信她所说的。)”可知,作者感到惊讶的是“Long time no see.”竟然被用作标准的美式问候语。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective (侦探) named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.(20世纪30年代,好莱坞电影制作人成功地在大银幕上塑造了一位享誉全球的华裔侦探“陈查理”。陈侦探喜欢引用孔子的话来教美国人一些中国智慧。“好久不见。”是他的象征。很快,在陈查理之后,由于这些电影的流行,“Long time no see.”在美国成为一个流行的表达。)”可知,根据第3段可以推断出好莱坞使“Long time no see.”变得流行,故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.(一些学者把美国比作一个巨大大熔炉,各种文化混合在一起,它们相互改变颜色和味道。语言通常是首先受到影响的东西。)”可知,作者只是客观陈述大熔炉是什么以及它的影响,因此作者对大熔炉的态度是中立的,即indifferent。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.(一些学者把美国比作一个巨大的大熔炉,各种文化混合在一起,它们相互改变颜色和味道。语言通常是首先受到影响的东西。)”,再结合文章以Long time no see!这句话为例,说明了美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富的社会现象可知,文章的主旨是美国英语不断被不同的文化所丰富。 故选D。
D
Ten years after introducing “Google Glass”, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.
A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public this week during the yearly Google I/O developer conference. Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.
The first Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw. That caused widespread privacy concerns. The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look. The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.
A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability, but did not provide additional details. The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera. A demonstration explained that a person, wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language, can see the spoken words in their own language. The description showed translations involving English, Mandarin, Spanish and American Sign Language.
The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development. The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world. This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps, as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
Eddie Chung, a director of product management at Google, spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses. “What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,” he said.
32. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. A great breakthrough has been made in AI.
B. A new kind of smart eyeglasses will go on sale.
C. A new kind of smart eyeglasses is in development.
D. Different languages can be translated in real time.
33. What led to widespread privacy concerns?
A. The wearable camera. B. The latest glasses device.
C. The science fiction look. D. The virtual maps.
34. What can we learn about the new device from paragraph 4?
A. It won’t be equipped with a camera.
B. It has more precise translation abilities.
C. It can translate certain languages into oral English.
D. It can help certain people remove language barriers.
35. What’s Eddie Chung’s attitude towards the new eyeglasses?
A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了Alphabet Inc.公司研发的可实时翻译的智能眼镜。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容,结合第一段“Ten years after introducing ‘Google Glass’, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.(在推出‘谷歌眼镜’十年之后,Alphabet Inc.创造了一种新型智能眼镜。该公司表示,这种可穿戴计算机设备可以实时翻译不同的语言)”可知, 本文主要讲述Alphabet Inc.公司创造了一种可以实时翻译不同语言的新型智能眼镜,C项“一种新型的智能眼镜正在研发中”能够总结文章大意。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“The first Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw. That caused widespread privacy concerns.(最先推出的谷歌眼镜设备包括一个可穿戴相机,可以拍摄佩戴者所看到的东西。这引起了广泛的隐私问题)”可知,可穿戴相机引起了广泛的隐私问题。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“A demonstration explained that a person, wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language, can see the spoken words in their own language.(演示解释说,佩戴这款眼镜的人士在跟语言不同的人士交谈时,可以看到对方的话用自己的语言显示出来)”可知,新设备可以帮助某些人消除语言障碍。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Eddie Chung说的话“What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses(我们正在研究的是能让我们打破语言障碍的技术,将谷歌翻译多年的研究应用于眼镜上)”可知,他认为智能眼镜是打破语言障碍的技术,故他对新型眼镜持积极的态度。故选D项。

【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. D 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何激励青少年充满动力。
【36题详解】
本空为本段段旨,根据后文的“A teenager needs between 8-10 hours of sleep every night but most only get about 6.5-7.5 hours of sleep per night. So when a teenager is forced out of bed at 7 am or 8 am to go to school, their natural sleep cycle is thrown off and they will likely appear lazy, unmotivated, all symptoms (症状) of lack of sleep.(青少年每晚需要8-10个小时的睡眠,但大多数人每晚只睡6.5-7.5个小时。因此,当一个青少年被迫在早上7点或8点起床去上学时,他们的自然睡眠周期被打乱了,他们很可能会显得懒惰、没有动力,所有这些都是睡眠不足的症状。)”可知,本段主要强调的是孩子懒惰的原因在于睡眠的时间周期被打乱,故应该解决青少年的睡眠问题。A选项“Set a sleep schedule(设定睡眠时间表)”概括本段主要内容,即设定青少年睡眠时间,解决青少年睡眠问题,符合语境。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据前文的“A teenager needs between 8-10 hours of sleep every night but most only get about 6.5-7.5 hours of sleep per night.

Two years ago, Laura Eshelman was struggling with a mental problem. And to top it off, she was having trouble finding work.
One day, she was leaving a downtown business where she had yet another job application rejected (拒绝). Feeling extremely disappointed, she decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street and found something for her hungry stomach.
As she crossed the street, Eshelman noticed a man, who was asking for money on the corner. His messy hair and clothing made it seem like he’d been living outside for a while. She watched as he asked a passerby for change, but she even didn’t look at him.
As Eshelman approached, the man turned his attention to her, and again he asked if he could have a little bit of money. “Leave me alone. I don’t have anything to give you. Just go away!”, Eshelman shouted, almost giving vent to (发泄) all her negative feelings. But these unkind words were just what made her feel regretful and ashamed later.
The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head and Eshelman continued into the grocery store. After picking up some bread and a bottle of water, she went to the checkout to pay. And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing.

①考查动词时态。由文章第一段中“And to top it off, she was having trouble finding work. (最糟糕的是,她找不到工作。)”可知,埃塞尔曼求职失败了,故本空选用fail“失败”。结合空前的had可知,事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,故用fail的过去式。故填failed。
②考查名词。由文章第二段中“Feeling extremely disappointed, she decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street and found something for her hungry stomach. (她感到非常失望,于是决定去街对面的全食超市买点东西充饥。)”可知,埃塞尔感到非常失望,故本空选用disappoint“使失望”。结合空前的experiencing可知,本空用名词disappointment,作experiencing的宾语。故填disappointment。
③考查动词时态。由文章第三段中“As she crossed the street, Eshelman noticed a man, who was asking for money on the corner. (当她穿过街道时,Eshelman注意到一个男人在街角要钱。)”可知,在去食品店的路上,埃塞尔遇到了一个乞讨的男人,故本空选用encounter“遇到”。事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,故用encounter的过去式。故填encountered。
④考查动词的时态和语态。由文章第三段中“She watched as he asked a passerby for change, but she even didn’t look at him. (她看着他向一个过路人要零钱,但她甚至没有看他。)”可知,那人被路人忽视了,故本空选用ignore“忽视”。结合空前的looked可知,事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,且主语The man与ignore为被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was ignored。
⑤考查动词时态。由文章第四段中“As Eshelman approached, the man turned his attention to her, and again he asked if he could have a little bit of money. “Leave me alone. I don’t have anything to give you. Just go away! ”, Eshelman shouted, almost giving vent to (发泄) all her negative feelings. (当Eshelman走近时,那人把注意力转向了她,并再次问能否给他一点钱。“别烦我。我没有什么可以给你的。走开!”谢尔曼喊道,几乎把她所有的负面情绪都发泄出来了。)”可知,当埃塞尔曼走近那人时,他转过身来向她要钱,故本空用turn,turn to sb.“转向某人, 向某人求助”。结合空前的approached可知,事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,故用turn的过去式。故填turned。

(当Eshelman走近时,那人把注意力转向了她,并再次问能否给他一点钱。“别烦我。我没有什么可以给你的。走开!谢尔曼喊道,几乎把她所有的负面情绪都发泄出来了。)”可知,埃塞尔曼用一些不礼貌的话拒绝了他,故本空用polite“礼貌”的反义词impolite“不礼貌的”,作定语,修饰words。故填impolite。
⑦考查非谓语动词。由文章第四段中“But these unkind words were just what made her feel regretful and ashamed later. (但正是这些不友善的话让她后来感到遗憾和羞愧。)”可知,后来她后悔以如此粗鲁的方式对待这名男子,故本空选用treat“对待”。regret doing sth.“后悔做了某事”,故本空用动名词,作regretted的宾语。故填treating。
⑧考查名词。由文章最后一段中“The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head (这个人显然很尴尬,也有点惊讶。对他来说,被拒绝是正常的,但通常不会如此粗鲁。他低下了头。)”可知,那人尴尬而惊讶地低下了头,故本空选用embarrass“尴尬”。结合空前的with可知,本空用名词embarrassment,作介词with的宾语。故填embarrassment。
⑨考查形容词或动词语态。由文章最后一段中“And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing. (就在那一刻,她发现她的钱包不见了,她在那里放了所有的钱和重要文件。)”可知,埃塞尔曼发现她的钱包丢了,故本空选用lose“丢失”,且found后的宾语从句中her purse与lose为被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态was lost,作从句谓语。也可以用形容词lost“丢失的”作宾语her purse的补足语。故填lost/was lost。
⑩考查动词时态。由文章最后一段中“And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing. (就在那一刻,她发现她的钱包不见了,她在那里放了所有的钱和重要文件。)”可知,钱包对埃舍曼来说很重要,因为里面装着她的钱和文件。故本空选用contain“容纳”。结合空前的was可知,事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,故用contain的过去式。故填contained。
【67题详解】
考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing. (就在那一刻,她发现她的钱包不见了,她在那里放了所有的钱和重要文件。)”可知,当埃舍曼发现钱包不见了,她会她会感到非常担心或焦虑。故答案为:She would feel very worried/anxious.

(拿了一些面包和一瓶水后,她走到结帐处付款。就在那一刻,她发现她的钱包不见了,她在那里放了所有的钱和重要文件。)”可知,钱包可能被人偷走了,或者只是意外地掉到了地上。故答案为:It might be stolen by someone or just drop onto the ground by accident.
【69题详解】
考查推理判断。由文章最后一段中“The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head (这个人显然很尴尬,也有点惊讶。对他来说,被拒绝是正常的,但通常不会如此粗鲁。他只是低下了头)”可知,这个男人不是坏脾气的人,所以这个男人可能会找到艾塞尔曼的钱包,然后把它还给她。埃塞尔曼可能会对这个男人说谢谢和抱歉。故答案为:The man might find Eshelman’s purse and return it to her. Eshelman might say thanks and sorry to the man.

【答案】Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you are addicted to short videos and lack interest in learning. I’m writing to offer you some suggestions.
Short videos do have some benefits. We can relax ourselves, share good times, and cherish memories. However, in my opinion, firstly, you should strike a balance between leisure activities and learning. Only on the premise of self-control can we benefit from modern technologies rather than being slaves of them. Focus on study, and don’t waste too much time on distractions. Secondly, for other forms of relaxation, you can join your friends in playing various sports activities, such as running, cycling or playing basketball.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful for you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today. All I wanted to do was go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup. But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things. Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I.
But today I had to give up our evening. I knew how tired I was, so I just said, “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.”
He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he actually meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay”. And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. And his eyes lighted up. After I put the soup on the desk and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword—together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Bryan’s grandmother was tired.
B. Bryan’s mom drank a bowl of soup.
C. Bryan came with his father that day.
D. Bryan played with his parents that day.
25. Why did the author agree to spend time with Bryan?
A. She was required to do so.
B. She was not good at saying no.
C. She wanted to play games with Bryan.
D. She didn’t want to leave Bryan disappointed.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “shadow” in paragraph 3?

“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously it is a word-by-word translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on Google.com. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective (侦探) named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.
28. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A. Word-by-word translations in America.
B. The Chinglish expression “Long time no see.”
C. “Long time no see.” used by Americans every day.
D. “Long time no see.” used as a standard American English greeting.
29. What can be inferred according to paragraph 3?
A. All kinds of languages are affected by cultures.
B. Hollywood made “Long time no see.” popular.
C. Cultures can’t be changed in the huge melting pot.
D. Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”
30. What’s the author’s attitude to the American’s mixed pot?
A. Opposed. B. Curious. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B. The melting pot is the symbol of American culture.
C. Some American expressions can be used in China.
D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
D
Ten years after introducing “Google Glass”, Alphabet Inc. has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.
A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public this week during the yearly Google I/O developer conference. Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.
The first Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw. That caused widespread privacy concerns. The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look. The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.
A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability, but did not provide additional details. The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera. A demonstration explained that a person, wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language, can see the spoken words in their own language. The description showed translations involving English, Mandarin, Spanish and American Sign Language.
The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development. The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world. This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps, as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
Eddie Chung, a director of product management at Google, spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses. “What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,” he said.
32. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. A great breakthrough has been made in AI.
B. A new kind of smart eyeglasses will go on sale.
C. A new kind of smart eyeglasses is in development.
D. Different languages can be translated in real time.
33. What led to widespread privacy concerns?
A. The wearable camera. B. The latest glasses device.
C. The science fiction look. D. The virtual maps.
34. What can we learn about the new device from paragraph 4?
A. It won’t be equipped with a camera.
B. It has more precise translation abilities.
C. It can translate certain languages into oral English.
D. It can help certain people remove language barriers.
35. What’s Eddie Chung’s attitude towards the new eyeglasses?
A. Concerned. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.

Two years ago, Laura Eshelman was struggling with a mental problem. And to top it off, she was having trouble finding work.
One day, she was leaving a downtown business where she had yet another job application rejected (拒绝). Feeling extremely disappointed, she decided to go to the Whole Foods across the street and found something for her hungry stomach.
As she crossed the street, Eshelman noticed a man, who was asking for money on the corner. His messy hair and clothing made it seem like he’d been living outside for a while. She watched as he asked a passerby for change, but she even didn’t look at him.
As Eshelman approached, the man turned his attention to her, and again he asked if he could have a little bit of money. “Leave me alone. I don’t have anything to give you. Just go away!”, Eshelman shouted, almost giving vent to (发泄) all her negative feelings. But these unkind words were just what made her feel regretful and ashamed later.
The man was obviously embarrassed as well as a little surprised. It was normal for him to be refused, but not usually in such a rude way. He just lowered his head and Eshelman continued into the grocery store. After picking up some bread and a bottle of water, she went to the checkout to pay. And it was at that moment that she found her purse, where she had put all her money and important papers, was missing.
