The school won the second national championship in the team’s history since its first time in 2017. The team’s head Luo Lun, 59, said, “Although our team is from a small place, we are afraid of no one.” Tsinghua University High School has won the championships of CHBL more than 10 times. So how did Huipu beat such a strong opponent (对手)? Wu Ziyu, the team’s point guard (控球后卫), said the team’s strengths lie in its speed and teamwork. The school has also given great importance to talent training, bringing in players from other parts of the country and growing local talents.

But for some reasons, the 15 Asian elephants have been walking their way across China for more than a year, traveling through villages, forests and the edges of the city of Kunming, a population of 8.5 million. Local officials have been tracking the elephants’ movements by unmanned aircraft and asked hundreds of workers to lead villagers away, set up emergency barriers（障碍）to change their routes and stored 18 tons of food for the elephants. But there is still no long-term plan. The 15 elephants have now become international superstars, with fans around the world paying close attention to their journey on the Internet. People are all wondering where they will go next and when they will stop. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance.” said Becky Shu Chen, an expert for Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. “How can we use this event to let everyone pay attention to the issue of living with animals in the world?” 34.

Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans. We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly. Global positioning system (GPS) (全球定位系统) It's a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact (精确地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It's made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers. Space Technology Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISSwill provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages. It's even hoped that one day spare technology will take humans to their new houses in space. Underwater Robot Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago. The world is changing so quickly that it's hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It's important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives.

D. technology brings us many advantages such as cloning humans. （E） The United States Department of Defense first used a service called ARPANET in the 1960s. Then, in 1990, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Today, more than 4.5 billion people in the world use the Internet. It is such a powerful invention that we’ve probably begun to see its long-term effects. How can one travel 7,000 kilometers in 8 hours? Fly! We all should be thankful to the Orville & Wilbur Wright, commonly known as the The Wright Brothers. They made the first real plane in 1903. But it could fly in the air for only 12 seconds. Later, other inventors improved it and made planes become a common way of transportation in life. Steven Sasson, a Kodak engineer, invented the first digital camera in 1975. The first digital camera had just 0.01 mega pixels（像素）, but now, we have digital cameras up to 160 mega pixels. Nearly every smart phone has its own digital camera connected to its back and front. A fridge is the greatest household appliance in history. Before the invention of the fridge, people had to cool their food by using ice and snow. In 1805, Oliver Evans invented the first refrigeration machine. But it was Jacob Perkin who made the first useful fridge in 1834. 42. What is the speed of an airplane according to the passage? A. 875 km/h B. 7 km/h C. 875 m/h D. 700 m/h 43. Who was the inventor of the first fridge? A. Oliver Evans. B. Wilbur Wright. C. Jacob Perkin. D. Steven Sasson. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. The first real plane could fly for only 12 seconds. B. People had to cool their food with water before 1834. C. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in the 1960s. D. Every smart phone has its own digital camera connected to the front. 45. In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article? A. News, B. Travel. C. Health. D. Science. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Living Well with Others A good life is one that is good for living well with others, while living comfortably and honestly.
