Here are two cool inventions which are interesting and useful. Yoomiily — Taking a Quick and Dry Wash Want to take a shower but don’t want to get really wet? Here’s a machine just for you. Yoomiily is both a shower and a dryer. It has two pumps(泵) inside. When you turn it on, one pump “pushes” water out as mist(水雾), while the other pump “pulls” the water back quickly. And you will not need a towel because there will be almost no water left on your skin. Yoomiily weighs only four kilograms. You can take it with you when you go camping. Polypill — holding all your daily medications Some patients have to take many pills every day. Now, a 3D printed “polypill(复方药丸)” could make all your medications into one. Experts from UK developed a special ink. They mixed this ink with different medicines and by creating special shapes and patterns, they control how fast and how much of the medicine is released(释放) in the body. 21. What can we learn about Yoomiily? A. It has two pumps outside. B. People still need towels to dry themselves after washing. C. You can take one with you when you are going camping. 22. What do the two cool inventions have in common? A. They are both invented by scientists from the UK. B. They are both made with the help of 3D technology. C. They can both make people’s life more and more convenient. 23. Where can we read such materials? A. In a novel. B. On the Internet. C. In a notice. B Recently, an article titled “Chinese Characters Whose Pronunciations Have Changed” has caused heated discussions online. It’s said that some pronunciations, which were considered to have been misread before, are now correct. They even include the characters in some famous sentences from ancient poems. One example is by Du Mu from the Tang Dynasty “Up a long path amid the rocks I climb so high, there are houses in the depths of clouds white”. About the changes, different people have different ideas. Many Internet users disagreed with the changes. They argued that changing pronunciations would change the rhyme(韵律) of the sentences in poems, destroying the beauty of Chinese literature. However, supporters of the change said, “This is how language improves, and the pronunciations should meet the needs of society, instead of remaining in the past.” An officer from the Ministry of Education explained that most of the so-called “new” pronunciations have not yet been confirmed(确认). But according to the fifth and sixth edition(版本) of the Modern Chinese Dictionary, quite a few pinyin spelling have already been changed, such as “呆板(from ái to dāi)” and 确凿 (from zuò to záo). So, Professor Zhang Yiwu from Peking University told China Daily that pronunciation changes are normal and necessary as language changes and they will not destroy traditional culture. 24. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Many false pronunciations in Chinese. B. Some famous sentences in ancient poems. C. Some misread pronunciations are right now. 25. Which is the proper meaning of the underlined poems in the passage? A. 黄河远上白云间，一片孤城万仞山。 B. 远上寒山石径斜，白云生处有人家。 C. 两岸青山相对出，孤帆一片日边来。 26. Why do some people support the pronunciation changes? A. Because they want to make a new language. B. Because they think the old language should be replaced. C. Because they think the language should fit the needs of society. 27. According to the last paragraph, what is Zhang Yiwu’s attitude to the changes? A. He supports the changes. B. He disagrees with the changes. C. He doesn’t give any clear opinions. C During the latest National Day holiday, the Ailao Mountain Scenic Area(风景区) in Xinping County, Yunnan Province welcomed over 50,000 tourists. This was a 15% increase compared to the same time last year. How did it become popular? A few weeks ago, a blogger shared a video about the foggy and scary mountains online. The warning signs saying “bears nearby” made people feel kind of scared but excited. So lots of curious tourists wanted to see it themselves, causing heavy traffic on the mountain roads. The Ailao Mountains cover several counties. Although some parts of the mountains are offered better and safer facilities(设施), deep inside the mountains, where tourists can’t go, there are forests without roads. The weather there can be very bad, making people get very cold and feel sick because of the height. Also, it is easy for tourists to get lost because the magnetic field(磁场) there can make compasses stop working. For these reasons, these areas are called “Deadly Forests”. So governments warn tourists to stay away from the undeveloped areas. Anyone who goes into these areas without permission will be fined(罚款) from 100 to 5,000 yuan. But it’s safe enough as long as the tourists toe the mark in these areas. The Ailao Mountains are known as the biggest and the most complete forest ecosystem(生态系统) at that part of the world. It’s not only a natural wonder, but also a living history. It’s necessary to respect nature and protect the environment while exploring this ancient mountain so that the beauty of the Ailao Mountains can be passed down from generation to generation. 28. What made the Ailao Mountains so popular? A. The beautiful scenery. B. The exciting video posted online. C. The government’s encouragement. 29. What made some people call the undeveloped areas as “Deadly Forests”? ①convenient roads ②bad weather ③magnetic field A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①③ 30. What does the underlined phrase “toe the mark” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Follow the rules. B. Draw some marks. C. Walk carefully. 31. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To attract more tourists. B. To ask people to respect nature. C. To warn people of the dangers in the Ailao Mountains. 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中一项为多余选项。 Being polite can help people go a long way.

Bacha Village in Heilongjiang Province is one of them. The people there have become rich with the development of tourism(旅游业). It’s hard to believe that how hard the life was there. In the past, people usually walked on the dirty roads in the village. On rainy days, it was difficult to walk on them. The rows of tile-roofed(瓦屋顶的) houses were very old and sometimes the rain might drop into the rooms. Now, the living condition is much better and more comfortable. We can see that the roads are wider and the houses are brighter. Since 2016, the tourism industry in Bacha Village has developed rapidly. The tourism industry in Bacha brings earnings for the villagers. Last year, more than 60,000 visitors came here, and the income(收入) for each person in the village increased to 25,600 yuan. All of the changes are increasing the villager’s confidence in the future. You Mingfen, a 57-year-old local woman, opened a hotel in her own two-floor house. Her family offer hand-made gifts made by fish skin and bones to the guests from all over China. “The busiest tourism season in Bacha lasts from May to October. It can bring us more than 50,000 yuan a year,” she said, “in winter, we can stay in a warm room and enjoy the leisure(休闲) time. It was impossible before. At that time, we almost depended on fishing for a living.” Thanks to the good policies of the government, villagers get more ways to make money. Many young people now come back from big cities and work in their own hometown. They can not only care for their families but also build their hometown. After seeing the changes around, they believe that they will surely have a wonderful future. 56. What makes people in Bacha become rich? 57. What’s the living condition like in Bacha now? 58.
