The best dessert for a party of family and friends? A homemade pie. The second best? A storebought pie that you can pretend is homemade without being questioned. The following are some stores where you can find such great pies on Long Island.
Olish's Farm (75 Eastport Manor Rd., Eastport)
Owner Donny Olish prefers to buy fruit locally for his shop. Although more than 30 varieties are on offer, he's sometimes forced to look elsewhere to buy strawberries, pears, apples, blackberries and raspberries(山莓) to produce a pie for the ages. More info: 6313250539, olishfarms. com.
Briermere Farms (4414 Sound Ave., Riverhead)
Briermere is nothing short of a pie factory, whose two dozen flavors(味道) are sold by the hundreds on lovely fall weekends. And for good reason: Much of the fruit used is grown right there on the farm. Don't miss its cream pie, an openfaced pie filled with cream and topped with fruit. More info: 6317223931, briermerefarms. com.
Diane's Bakery Cafe (23 Bryant Ave., Roslyn)
Blue. Straw. Rasp. Three kinds of berries that join produce what remains the most popular pie at this old shop. But almost as popular are its chocolate and banana cream versions, followed closely by pecan and apple pies, to which New York State fruit is the key. Besides all these pies, you can treat yourself to other types of desserts there. More info: 5166212522, dianesroslyn. com.
Jericho Cider Mill(213 Route 106, Jericho)
Appleraspberry. Applepeach. Appleblueberry. Are you detecting a theme? A new and cute outdoor seating area is the latest addition to Jericho Cider Mill. A matchless selection of New York's favorite homegrown fruit finds its way into equally matchless 13 varieties of pies. More info: 5164333360, jerichocider. com.

The smart clothes industry is targeting specific health conditions. Diabetic(糖尿病的) foot is a major health issue today. The loss of mobility and independence that some with diabetes face, as well as health careassociated costs, is alarming.
Now, Siren Care, a medical device company, has developed an injurymonitoring sock that could help people with diabetes prevent loss of feet. Early discovery is critical in this process. Since skin inflammation(炎症) is accompanied by a rise in temperature, studies show that home monitoring of foot skin temperature could make a big difference.
What is so special about Siren's product is that the sensors are incorporated into the fabric of the socks. The sensor is connected to a PCB battery. whose lifetime is two months if used daily. The socks are only on when users wear them; they go into sleep mode when off. All data from the socks is sent to the Siren app, so the user can monitor the condition of his or her feet in realtime. The application gives foot health scores and, when necessary, reminds the user to adjust activity and/or see a health care professional.
Ran Ma, the company's CEO, says. “Equipped with the novel technology, users can adjust their activity by selfmonitoring their skin temperature. But the sock is not a device for illness diagnosis. The user still needs to see a doctor, who can then say exactly what the illness is or the cause of the problem.”
The socks are machinewashable and don't need to be charged. Every six months, the user gets a new box with seven pairs of socks to replace the used ones. For customers, the cost is $30 per month. This might signal that this technology is becoming more accessible when compared to the price of similar smart clothing. Siren presented their product at this year's CES event in Las Vegas and announced that they were planning to start shipping their socks this summer. And the company is already planning future applications that will go beyond diabetes care.

Algorithms(算法) affect nearly every part of a person's experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people's entry to the Internet. If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar. As soon as they start typing or choosing links, the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relates to what the user is looking for.
The problem with algorithms is that they can limit the kinds of information people see, says MacMillan, a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy(能力). He argues this can be harmful to people's critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.
Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users' search data. For example, if you search for places to take a vacation, you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.
Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.
The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information. That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their studies. It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电脑中的搜索引擎算法在用户搜索中所起的作用和存在的问题,并讨论了如何应对搜索引擎算法对使用者的控制。

A.Young people fall victim to the Internet.
B.Data protection rules are already enough.
C.Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.
D.Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.
D [推理判断题。根据第五段最后三句“然而,这不仅仅是教育的责任。立法者应该考虑增加数据保护规则。个人也可以使用各种各样的网站来避免算法控制。”可以推断出,处理算法控制需要多方的共同努力。]
11.Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?
A.Science. B.Entertainment.

Wind power is a powerful tool for reducing carbon emissions that cause climate change.The turbines(涡轮机),however,can be a threat to birds,which is why experts are looking for ways to prevent the danger.
A company in Boulder,Colorado has produced a cameraandAIbased technology that can recognize eagles and other birds as they approach in enough time to shut off turbines in their flight paths.Their tool,called IdentiFlight,can detect 5.62 times more bird flights than human observers alone,with an accuracy rate of 94 percent.Using highprecision(高精确度的) visual sensors,the system calculates a bird's speed and flight path,and if it is on a crash path with a turbine,a signal is sent to shut that turbine down.
Winning an award for its performance in Australia,the tracking system was set up in 2018 and was found to cut eagle deaths at the Cattle Hill Wind Farm by more than fourfifths.Each day signals have shut down their movements an average of 400 times—across the field of 48 turbines—for 2 to 3 minutes each time.
Across the globe,Duke Energy in Wyoming is employing the same technology with impressive results at its Top of the World Windpower Project,which was the first wind site to use the technology.In 2014,IdentiFlight's maker,Boulder Imaging,used Top of the World for testing after eagles were killed by the turbines,which left Duke Energy in violation(违反) of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.47 units made of eight wideangle cameras now constantly pass across the sky to monitor all 110 turbines.
Bird lover Garry George admits,“Our own science shows that climate change is by far the biggest threat to birds and the places wildlife need to survive.IdentiFlight will make it possible to fight the worst effects of climate change and protect the birds we love in the process.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种基于摄像头和人工智能的技术,它可以识别老鹰和其他鸟类,以减少风力发电的涡轮机对它们造成的威胁。
12.What can IdentiFlight do?
A.Stop the turbines when birds are spotted.
B.Prevent birds from choosing a crash path.
C.Identify potential threats to wind turbines.
D.Let the turbines make full use of wind power.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Using highprecision(高精确度的) visual sensors ...a signal is sent to shut that turbine down.”可知,IdentiFlight能够在发现鸟时,停止涡轮机的运作。]
13.What does the data in Paragraph 3 show about IdentiFlight?
A.It is widely used.
B.It received a warm welcome.
C.It is very effective.
D.It has a really long service life.
C [推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可推知,通过这些具体的数据,人们可以看到IdentiFlight系统非常有效地减少了涡轮机对鸟类的威胁和伤害。]
14.Why did Duke Energy work with Boulder Imaging in 2014?
A.It broke the relevant law on bird protection.
B.It responded to the call of Boulder Imaging.
C.It intended to improve its wideangle cameras.
D.It followed in the Cattle Hill Wind Farm's footsteps.
A [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 2014,IdentiFlight's maker,Boulder Imaging ...the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.”可知,Duke Energy和Boulder Imaging在2014年合作是因为Duke Energy违反了《候鸟条约法案》。]
15.What is Garry George's attitude to IdentiFlight?
A.Reserved. B.Approving.
C.Uncertain. D.Unconcerned.
B [观点态度题。根据最后一段Garry George所说的话中的“IdentiFlight will make it possible to fight the worst effects of climate change and protect the birds we love in the process.”可推断出,他对IdentiFlight是持支持态度的。]
Ⅱ.七选五
At Bamfield,a coastal community in British Columbia,Canada,84yearold Louis Druehl is guiding the Kelp Express along the shore.For 51 years,the boat has taken him to Kelp Bay.There,ropes of seaweed are growing beneath the water's surface.Seaweed is Druehl's life.16. Over the years,Druehl has seen interest in seaweed rise and fall.But as climate change affects the planet,the world is turning to seaweed as a possible way to solve that.“People have discovered seaweed,” he said.“They have discovered us.”
People think of forests as the best protection against climate change.17. Unlike trees,seaweed doesn't need fertilizers or fresh water.It grows faster than trees and doesn't require any land.It helps balance ocean ecosystems(生态系统).And it absorbs carbon from the environment.
18. Many worry about the environmental influence of eating meat.Can seaweed farms provide enough protein for the world? Carlos Duarte,a professor of marine ecology,thinks so.“When you look at how we are going to feed the world population by 2050 in a way that doesn't harm the environment,there is only one pathway,” he says.“Seaweed farming.” 19. In British Columbia,there is a long line of seaweed farmers waiting to learn from Louis Druehl.
Seaweed might fight climate change.But it isn't without its risks.If it isn't harvested,it can rot and put carbon back into the air or water.Growing too much of it can also affect the amount of light that reaches species living deeper in the water.20. Halley Froehlich,a professor at the University of California,says,“Seaweed can be a part of the solution to climate change,but it's not a perfect solution on its own.”
A.But some researchers say seaweed is a better way.
B.That will be dangerous for underwater ecosystems.
C.Seaweed can also become a key global food source.
D.When the seaweed plants die,they will be burned for fuel.
E.In the past 10 years,global seaweed production has doubled.
F.He has studied,farmed,cooked it,and written a book about it.
G.Trees make a big difference to the improvement of the environment.

20.B [根据上文可知,这里提到海藻不收割的话可能造成的危害。选项B“这会对水下生态系统造成危险。”和上文意思一致。]
Ⅲ.完形填空
In the United States, there have been no deaths from commercial airline accidents since 2013.In fact, for decades, there has been a general 21 trend in the number of accidents per departure.
Complex systems are more likely to suffer from failures, but commercial aviation(航空) seems to be a(n) 22 . Since the 1960s, U.S. commercial aviation has become significantly more complex, and yet, flying has become safer. What lies behind this remarkable trend is a handful of smart approaches to 23 . Here are two of them.
Teach people to speak up—and to listen
A common error during airplane accidents used to be the 24 of first officers to question the captain's poor decisions. When the captain was flying the airplane, he was hard to challenge, and his mistakes went 25 .
All this began to change in the late 1970s with a training program known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). The program revolutionized the 26 not just of the cockpit(机舱) but also of the whole industry. It reframed safety as a 27 issue and put all crew members on more equal footing. It was no longer 28 to question the decisions of a superior; it was required. And CRM taught crew members the language of disagreement.
The lesson isn't simply that people lower down in the 29 should speak up and higherups should listen. What CRM has shown is that people can be taught to speak up and to listen. The ability to express and embrace 30 isn't hardwired in our personality or cultural background; it's a skill we can learn.
Learn from small failures and close calls
In 1976, the US Federal Aviation Administration created an industrywide system to collect safety reports. The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) collects thousands of reports each month. Beyond receiving immunity(豁免权) for a mistake, it's a point of 31 for pilots to submit ASRS reports. They know the reports make air travel safer. The reports are stored in a searchable database that anyone can 32 , and National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) highlights safety trends in its monthly newsletter, Callback.
Here, too, there is a 33 lesson. Small mistakes and near misses can be a rich source of data about what might 34 in our system. Mistakes shouldn't be 35 . By openly sharing stories of failures and near failures, we can treat errors as an opportunity to learn.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。在美国,自2013年以来,没有人死于商业航空事故。事实上,几十年来,事故数量总体呈下降趋势。在这一引人注目的趋势背后,隐藏着一些聪明的管理方法,文章主要介绍了其中两个航空领域的管理办法。

The Tomb Sweeping Activity
In order to promote students' awareness of patriotism and show respect for martyrs, our school organized a trip to the Martyr Tower last Sunday.
After arriving at the destination, we students came to the monument presenting bunches of flowers to the martyrs. Our teachers introduced some moving and heroic deeds of the martyrs to us. We mourned in silence for them for a moment with tears in our eyes.
We really treasure this meaningful activity. Not only did it provide us with an opportunity to have a good knowledge of how the martyrs made contributions to our motherland, but it also inspired us to study harder to make our country stronger and more beautiful.

I am a photographer running a studio in the inner city. We are wellknown for our children's portraits(肖像),and we range from highend portraits for modelling jobs to fun sibling photos and birth announcements. We do a bit of everything; as such, we are extremely busy, and it states on our website that we do not accept walkins. We are usually booked up six months in advance. One day, ten minutes before closing, a mum walked in with a young girl around six or seven behind her. I internally sighed.
The mother said,“Hello. I know you're closing soon, but I have a special favour to ask.”
At that point the little girl peeked around her mother's legs and I was lost for words. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she was skinny with huge dark circles under her eyes. From what I could tell, she had no hair, and a tube taped to her cheek that fed into her nose. It was immediately clear this kid was very, very sick.
The mother said again, nearly teary. “My daughter saw one of your photos taped to the wall at the hospital. She really loves unicorns(独角兽) and the photo had a girl photoshopped onto a horse. I know you're booked up, and it's months before the next appointment, but ...”
At that point she actually started crying. I realised that our next available appointment was probably too far away for this particular kid. The little girl squeezed her mother's hand. I am a very big guy with a beard, but I'm not ashamed to say I needed a minute before I spoke.
I smiled and said with the softest voice I had ever had:“Ahh, that's just for regular customers I've been waiting all day to take a photo of someone as beautiful as you! What's your name, sweetheart?”
Paragraph 1:
I locked the front door and invited them to the changing room.
Paragraph 2:
The mother thanked me over and over and came up front, holding out her credit card.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
I locked the front door and invited them to the changing room. I spent the next three hours taking photos of this kid in every princess costume I have in my closet. She was the sweetest, most wellbehaved kid I had ever worked with. Once we were done, she lay on the couch in my office and fell asleep while I loaded up the photos for her mum to see and choose the ones she liked best.
Paragraph 2:
The mother thanked me over and over and came up front, holding out her credit card. I refused to accept it, and said, “I feel very honored to take a photo of such a lovely angel. I'm not taking money for this, but I hope you can allow me to put one of her photos in our showcase, because she has the most beautiful and warmest smile.” Many years later that photo of a sick little girl on a giant pink unicorn is still in a frame in my shop, always reminding me to show kindness to those who really need it.
