This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures -a perfect match for his age. Picture this:my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read,he reaches out and pokes()the page with his finger. What's up with that?He just likes the pictures,I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused:Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry,kid.This book is not part of your high-tech world.It's an outdated,lifeless thing.An antique,like your grandfather.Well,I may be old,but I'm not hopelessly challenged,digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites. There's one notable gap in my new-media experience,however,I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway,grandpa is now an internet star-two minutes of fame!I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 24.What do the underlined words"hit home for me"mean in paragraph 2? A.Provided shelter for me. B.Became very clear to me. C.Took the pressure off me. D.Worked quite well on me. 25.Why did the kid poke the storybook? A.He took it for a tablet computer.

C.Financially independent. D.Digitally competent. 27.What can we learn about the author as a jouralist? A.He lacks experience in his job. B.He seldom appears on television. C.He manages a video department. D.He often interviews intemet stars. -2- 0 Anyone can be late a handful of times,but to be the person who is always late -that's an art,a frustrating art.Or,a side effect of your personality traits,scientists have found. So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains,make it to the wedding just after the bride's shown up and regularly annoy their fiends?And why is it so hard for us to fix it?"There are all sorts of punishments for being late,and the paradox is that we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist."said Justin Kruger,a social psychologist at New York University. One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take -something known as the planning fallacy ()Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent. Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers.In a 2003 study nun by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway operators in New York City,those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job.This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you're doing.Conte also discovered there is a personality type that's more likely to be late.While highly strung(紧张不安)，achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual..Type B individuals, however,who are more laid-back(谩不经心)，have a higher chance to be late. Admittedly,knowing all of this doesn't necessarily help fix the problem.But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality,For people who constantly underestimate tasks,breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately.As for your personality type,unfortunately,there isn't much you can do to change that.But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help.Acceptance,after all,is the first step to change. 28.What does the underlined word "paradox"mean in paragraph 2? A.Strategy B.Argument. C.Solution. D.Puzzle. 29.What is a possible feature of forever-late comer? A.They plan to spend more time on a task. B.They tackle more than one ask at a time. C.They suffer from concentration difficulties D.They have high expectations for achievements 30.Which advice can be given to people who are always late? A.Learn to accept who you are. B.Change your personality type. C.Divide a task into smaller ones. D.Keep to the timetable accurately. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.Time management contributes to success. B.Late comers should be severely punished. C.One's always being late is linked to personality. D.Changing personality helps improve punctuality. -3- S The first solar cell capable of powering everyday electrical equipment was made in the 1950s at Bell Labs in New Jersey.Back then the silicon-bused panels were hugely expensive and turned just 6%of sunlight into electricity.Since then,costs have come down dramatically and today's silicon solar cells can tum up to 22% of sunlight into power.But they're nearly maxed out in terms of efficiency.Now,perovskites (offer the potential for dramatic increases in power output,and they could ultimately replace silicon altogether. Researchers at Oxford PV,a company spun out of the University of Oxford,made a major breakthrough in 2018.By coating silicon with peroskites they achieved 28%efficiency.The company believes it can eventually mach 40%,or higher."If we want to make all new power generation about solar photovoltaics ()then we need to keep driving the price down,"Henry Snaith,professor of physics at the University of Oxford and co-founder of Oxford PV,said."One way to do that is to keep pushing the efficiency or power output up,and this is where perovskites really come into play." Perowskites were discovered in 1839.Oxford PV uses a synthetic version,made from inexpensive materials that are present on the Earth in large quantities,while other companies use variations of the original mineral,collectively called perovskites.As well as improved solar efficiency,they work better than silicon in the shade,on cloudy days or even indoors.Perovskites can be printed using an inkjet (printer and can be as thin as wallpaper.Oxford PV hopes perovskites will eventually replace silicon entirely. Last month,Saule Technologies'new factory in Warsaw began printing perovskite solar cells using inkjet printers.Early next year,it will start supplying Swedish construction company Skanska Group."The material is set to be a game changer in the energy field,because it works in every lighting condition."said Saule Technologies co-founder Olga Malinkiewicz. 32.What can we say about silicon-based panels? A.They are incredibly expensive. B.They have been abandoned totally C.They have existed for almost 50 years. D.They are relatively low in power output. 33.What does Snaith try to stress in paragraph 2? A.The cost of perovskite solar cells B.A key role to be played by perovskites. C.The applications of solar photovoltaics. D.A new way to replace solar photovoltaics. 34.What is one of the advantages of perovskites? A.They exist widely on the Earth. B.They can be written on like paper. C.They can be printed with 3-D printers. D.They perform well in poor lighting conditions. 35.What was expressed in Malinkiewicz's words? A.Approval. B.Worry. C.Shock. D.Disappointment. -4- 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Travelling Economically Get a ride to travel destinations with friends or acquaintances.If people you know are driving to a location you would like to visit,take advantage of the opportunity to ask them for a lift.Offer to help with gas money or,if you don't have any cash,offer a trade or service instead.36 Practice safe hitchhiking to get around.37 Ask each driver several questions before getting in the vehicle,including what their name is,where they are heading and why they are going there.Follow your gut instinct and avoid getting into a car with anyone who gives you a bad feeling. .38 There are many ridesharing websites and apps that allow budget travelers to find a shared lift to their destination.These sites will also screen and identify the drivers,making the ridesharing experience safe and simple.Search for available rideshares in you area,which may vary in cost but will cost significantly less than travelling alone.
