His grandpa took him to the yard to play. Tom was curious about everything. At lunch, Tom told me, “Dad, I saw a hen flying.” “Impossible!” I said without thinking. “How can a hen fly?” “Dad, the dog ran after the hen in the yard. The hen was tapped (被困) in a corner. When the hen saw no other way out, she suddenly flapped her wings and flew up to the roof (房顶). The hen escaped. Dad, I didn’t know hens could fly. How can she fly?” my child asked. I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly!” Tom nodded (点头). He seemed to have understood. Last weekend, we visited Tom’s grandparents again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard, “Dad! The dog is chasing the hen again! Come and see!” I ran out of the house. The hen was running after a group of chickens, followed closely by the dog, Then the hen suddenly stopped and turned around—she raised up wings and clucked at the dog. I ran over and got between the dog and the hen, shouting at the dog to drive it away. “Dad, why didn’t the hen fly away? She knows she can’t fight the dog.” Tom asked. I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. She loves her babies more than anything in the world.” Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to have understood. 36．How many times did the dog run after the hen in the passage? A．Once. B．Twice. C．Three times. D．Four times. 37．What does the underlined word “chasing” mean? A．抓住 B．跑开 C．追赶 D．追求 38．Why did the hen stop running and stand in front of the dog the second time? A．Because she was trying to protect her children. B．Because she knew the dog couldn’t fight her. C．Because she knew she could fly up to the roof. D．Because she knew how to ask people for help. 39．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Tom never saw a hen before. B．The writer’s family lived in a city. C．The writer made up the whole story. D．Tom didn’t understand what the writer meant. 40．What lesson does the writer try to teach his son? A．Don’t run away from your problems. B．Nothing can beat you if you tell yourself to be brave. C．You should love yourself more than anyone else. D．Parents love their kids more than anything. B A number of people use social media（社交媒体）, and many of these social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends(潮流) to follow. Influencers are people who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e. g. fashion, travel or technology. Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. Influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customer’ hearts. Brands （品牌）are now asking influencers to market their products. It is no surprise that more and more people want to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are some tips on how to do it. ◆ Choose your niche What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it. ◆ Post（发布） regularly Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts(账户). The more you post, the more likely people will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts possibly follow a theme（主题）. ◆ Tell an interesting story Whether it is a photo or a comment that you are posting, use it to tell a story that will catch the attention of your followers and help them connect with you. ◆ Make sure people can easily find your posts Put your posts on social media by using catchy titles and make sure that they can be easily found. There is no point in writing the most exciting stories or posting the most beautiful photos if no one is going to see them. Most importantly, if you want to become a social media influencer, you need to have patience. Keep posting and your following will gradually increase. Good luck! 41．A social media influencer is not someone who ________. A．guides the decisions of his/her followers B．is an expert in a particular area C．pays their followers to buy products D．has many followers paying attention to his/her opinions 42．Companies want to use influencers to help ________. A．sell their products to their followers B．develop new products C．develop a good relationship with their followers D．design their websites for them 43．You should make sure that you post ________. A．every day for the first month and then twice a month B．once a month C．about similar subjects D．about all kinds of different things 44．You can make sure that people find your posts by ________. A．putting the longest posts B．writing the most exciting stories C．posting the most beautiful photos D．using funny titles 45．The passage is mainly about ________. A．how to get on well with people around B．some tips on making money as an influencer C．what an influencer is and how we become one D．how to use influencers in marketing C You and I can tell one face from another, but can computers do the same with few mistakes? At an earlier time, many people thought it was impossible, but now, the development of technology has made it come true. New technology like facial recognition (脸部识别) technology helps to make our lives better and more convenient in many ways. People can easily come into their office buildings and check e-mails by using it. It can also help the police to find missing kids and bad people by sending the pictures taken from video cameras on the streets to the facial recognition system. More and more shoppers use their e-wallets with the new technology to pay for things they buy in the shopping malls and many kinds of stores. In the fall of 2017, Apple even used this technology to open the smart-phone in no more than one second. However, what is facial recognition technology and how does the system make it? First, facial recognition technology checks the space between eyes, the eye color, the ear size and the lip thickness. Then the system makes a record of your face and saves it in the database (数据库). That is to say, if you want to get the right to go into some places or to do something, you just look at the camera and let your picture run through the database. Once the system checks your face and finds that it is correct, you can then get the right to go into the places or to do something. However, is there any way to fool the facial recognition system? The answer is yes. Although it is an amazing technology, it sometimes doesn’t work. The following are some examples. 46．What can we know about facial recognition technology from Paragraph 2? A．It helps us a lot in our lives. B．It helps us go anywhere fast. C．It lets stores make more money. D．It is the most useful technology worldwide. 47．What did Apple use to open the smartphone immediately in 2017? A．A special key. B．A set of numbers. C．Special patterns. D．Facial recognition technology. 48．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The camera. B．The information of the face. C．The smartphone. D．The right place. 49．What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A．How the system works. B．How much the system costs. C．Why the system is so popular. D．How many faces the system checks. 50．Which of the following may the writer talk about in the following paragraph? A．Why the technology is convenient. B．When and where the technology can’t work. C．How the technology becomes more popular. D．Who can make the most use of the technology. D Green City is very nice these days. If you have time, you can come here to have fun.
