People’s lives have changed greatly between the past and the present. 1 Great changes have also taken place in the way we get information. Many years ago, people only used simple ways to know the world. 2 They had few ways to learn about news or other places far away. It was not easy for them to know what was happening around the world. Now, people can use computers and mobile phones everywhere. 3 They can talk with friends and family far away quickly. They can also learn new knowledge, watch interesting videos and enjoy colourful online activities every day. Transportation changes a lot too.

More and more people choose to visit wonderful places during their holidays. 1 They can get away from their busy daily life, breathe fresh air and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time. In the past, travelling was not easy for most people. People had few ways to go out. The traffic was slow and the roads were not good enough. 2 They could only visit small places near their homes and seldom travelled to other cities. Now great changes have taken place in our country. High-speed trains, planes and cars make trips fast and easy. 3 Some love natural places like high mountains and clear rivers. Others prefer old towns with a long history and special cultures. 4 Every place shows us its special beauty.

From the past to the present, many things have changed a lot. 1 These changes have made our life better and more convenient. First, the way we keep in touch has changed. In the past, people used to write letters to stay in touch with their friends and relatives. 2 But now, we can use mobile phones, WeChat and QQ to talk with others anytime and anywhere. It is fast and easy. Second, the way we travel has changed. In the past, people used to go out by bike or on foot. For long trips, they took trains or buses. 3 Now, many people have their own cars. High-speed trains and planes are also more popular, making long trips faster and more comfortable. Third, the way we live has changed. In the past, people lived in small houses and had a simple life. 4 Now, many people live in big apartments. There are many supermarkets and shopping malls, so we can buy all kinds of things easily.

Passage 5 Sometimes the easiest way to get somewhere is on the back of a bike. More and more people are using cars in many places in Africa today. However, things are different in Malawi (马拉维). 1 Bike riding is a way of life in Malawi. 2 They also use bikes to carry people, especially (特别) visitors. These years, taking a “bike taxi” to go around Malawi has become quite popular for visitors from all over the world. If you go to Malawi, you will find a lot of bike taxis waiting on the sides of the roads. 3 You can jump on a bike taxi and get around at a very good price. Alice is a 21-year-old student from Canada. 4 “I really like the bike taxi,” she says. “It’s easy and cheap.” Alice usually pays just $1 for going shopping in town. 28-year-old Panjira Khombe began to ride a bike taxi two years ago. 5 “I used to make boats for a living, but that’s a hard job. Being a bike taxi rider is easy for me and I don’t mind (介意) carrying heavy people,” he says. A．The young man enjoys this job. B．People here enjoy taking the bus.

I have lived here for more than ten years. 1 In the past, the town was very different. It was small and not very clean. Most houses were old and low. 2 They were narrow and muddy, especially on rainy days. It was not easy for people to go out. Most people walked or rode bikes to get around. There were few buses or cars. People lived a hard life at that time. 3 They worked on farms day after day. They had little money and could not buy many things. Most families did not have fridges or TVs. Children had few chances to go to college. Now great changes have taken place here. 4 More and more tall buildings and new flats appear everywhere. The roads are wide and clean. People can take buses, taxis or even drive their own cars. Public transport is fast and convenient. People now have better jobs and make more money. Their living conditions have improved a lot. Most families have comfortable houses, new cars and smart phones. Children can get a good education. 5 I’m sure my hometown will become better and better in the future. A．I have seen all these changes myself. B．Most people made a living by farming. C．The roads in the past were very bad. D．People are living a much happier life now. E．There were many tall buildings in the past. F．We should not forget the difficult life before. G．The town has become modern and beautiful. Passage 7 Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens. 1 Why? Because people with big houses may often feel lonely and people with cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 2 When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. 3 If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. 4 When you are poor, you can also say you’re very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy. That’s because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you’re poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. 5 . A．When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. B．If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. C．All these are your happiness. D．There are a lot of people who love you and would like to help you. E．You needn’t admire those people who have cars, either. F．It is a feeling of your heart. G．You can have the things you like if you work hard. Passage 8 阅读短文，从下面选出能填入空格处的最佳选项，有两个多余选项。 Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital way in recent years. 1 Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pests. 2 For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI machines. These machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the internet, a new business called rural ecommerce (乡村电子商务) has grown. 3 In the past, it was hard for people in cities to know what villagers planted. Now, they can buy farm products easily over the phone. 4 They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. 5 A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know about its culture and attract more visitors, it has turned into a “digital town”. Visitors can find out where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. A．Now, there have been big changes in farming. B．The business also helps villagers live a digital life. C．It was interesting to sell crops in the local small markets. D．Selling fresh fruit and vegetables is much faster than before. E．Villagers like to travel to big cities to learn about digital technology. F．More visitors travel to beautiful villages because of digital technology. G．With the help of digital technology, villagers are living an easier and happier life. Passage 9 Do you get more carsick in electric cars than in gasoline (汽油) ones? You’re not the only one. And it might be even worse in self-driving cars. When reading in a car, your eyes tell your brain (大脑) the car isn’t moving. 1 This may make you uncomfortable as your body gets two different messages at the same time. Electric cars often make people feel sick more easily. 2 When the driver stops, the electric car slows down more quickly than the gasoline car. This can make some people feel sick. That’s because our bodies aren’t used to such a fast change. 3 People are focused on screens (屏幕) and they seldom look outside. The sensory (感官的) mismatch, together with sudden starts and stops, makes people feel carsick more easily. Sadly, self-driving cars may be another problem. 4 Maybe it’s because people feel less in control (控制). When we can’t control the speed and direction, our bodies may feel terrible. 5 For example, Honda, a Japanese company, is trying to make cars move without sudden stops and starts. We hope more people will like riding in smarter cars in the future. A．But your body feels it is moving. B．The larger screens in cars make things worse. C．You can avoid carsickness by taking medicine. D．When the driver starts the electric car, it goes faster. E．That’s why more and more people choose electric cars. F．To solve these problems, car makers are trying their best. G．A study shows 12% of Americans might feel carsick in self-driving cars. Passage 10 Do you know “20 minutes for the park”? It’s all about the idea that spending just 20 minutes in a park each day can help you become healthier and happier. 1 Huang Bingbing, living in Shenzhen, is one of them. She began visiting the small park near her workplace during her weekday lunch breaks three years ago. On the grass, she can be closer to plants and animals. It helps her clear the mind and take a rest from work. Huang believes parks are like your own secret hiding place. She considers herself a quiet person. 2 She enjoys spending time alone in parks without worrying about anything. Parks are also shared spaces. 3 “Parks help people find joy without opening their wallets,” Liu Xie, a young stage designer, explained. At the same time, parks are public (公共的) spaces as well. Cheng Yuyan, the founder of the “We Love Strolling in the Park” group on Douban, noticed something interesting during her visit to parks in Japan. 4 Local people gave them to the parks for free. Also, many parks offer guidebooks describing the history, geography and blooming schedules (开花时间表) of the plants inside. After her trip to Japan, Cheng plans to ask members of her Douban group to take on similar responsibilities (责任). “ 5 I hope this group will show more social responsibility,” she said. A．They’re different from shopping malls and cinemas. B．She likes to walk, go boating and chat with friends in parks. C．Everyone can do something for the parks and the city. D．There are park benches with people’s names on them. E．The government plans to build more parks in the future. F．So the park is an excellent relaxing place for people like her. G．Nowadays, young people in China choose to visit parks more often.

They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city. 1 Services such as hospitals and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city. But in the big cities of Europe (欧洲) and America, people are moving out of the city.

She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and care for flowers. 1 One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often ordered from, a picture of a plant caught her eyes. 2 “I have to have it,” she said to herself, and she ordered it at once. When it arrived, she already had a place prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, but there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it, feed it, and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom. 3 One morning weeks later, when standing before the vine, she felt very sad that her plant had not bloomed. 4 It was at this point that her neighbor, whose yard joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the blooms of that vine you planted.” The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and sure enough, she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was filled with blooms. 5 The vine had grown through the crevices (缝隙) and it had not flowered on her side of the wall, but it had flowered on the other side.

You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens. 1 Why? Because people with big houses may often feel lonely and people with cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 2 When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. 3 If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. 4 When you are poor, you can also say you’re very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy. That’s because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you’re poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. 5 . A．When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. B．If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. C．All these are your happiness. D．There are a lot of people who love you and would like to help you.

Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pests. 2 For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI machines. These machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the internet, a new business called rural ecommerce (乡村电子商务) has grown. 3 In the past, it was hard for people in cities to know what villagers planted. Now, they can buy farm products easily over the phone. 4 They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. 5 A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know about its culture and attract more visitors, it has turned into a “digital town”. Visitors can find out where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. A．Now, there have been big changes in farming. B．The business also helps villagers live a digital life. C．It was interesting to sell crops in the local small markets. D．Selling fresh fruit and vegetables is much faster than before. E．Villagers like to travel to big cities to learn about digital technology.

You’re not the only one. And it might be even worse in self-driving cars. When reading in a car, your eyes tell your brain (大脑) the car isn’t moving. 1 This may make you uncomfortable as your body gets two different messages at the same time. Electric cars often make people feel sick more easily. 2 When the driver stops, the electric car slows down more quickly than the gasoline car. This can make some people feel sick. That’s because our bodies aren’t used to such a fast change. 3 People are focused on screens (屏幕) and they seldom look outside. The sensory (感官的) mismatch, together with sudden starts and stops, makes people feel carsick more easily. Sadly, self-driving cars may be another problem. 4 Maybe it’s because people feel less in control (控制). When we can’t control the speed and direction, our bodies may feel terrible. 5 For example, Honda, a Japanese company, is trying to make cars move without sudden stops and starts. We hope more people will like riding in smarter cars in the future. A．But your body feels it is moving. B．The larger screens in cars make things worse. C．You can avoid carsickness by taking medicine. D．When the driver starts the electric car, it goes faster. E．That’s why more and more people choose electric cars. F．To solve these problems, car makers are trying their best. G．A study shows 12% of Americans might feel carsick in self-driving cars. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 4. G 5. F 【导语】本文主要讲述了在电动汽车和自动驾驶汽车中更容易晕车的原因及相关应对措施。 1. 根据“When reading in a car, your eyes tell your brain (大脑) the car isn’t moving…This may make you uncomfortable as your body gets two different messages at the same time.”可知，前文提到眼睛传递的信息，此处需要身体传递的相反信息来构成矛盾，选项A“但你的身体感觉它在移动。”符合语境。故选A。 2. 根据“Electric cars often make people feel sick more easily.…When the driver stops, the electric car slows down more quickly than the gasoline car.”可知，此处需要补充启动时的情况，选项D“当驾驶员启动电动汽车时，它会跑得更快。”符合语境。故选D。 3. 根据“People are focused on screens (屏幕) and they seldom look outside. The sensory (感官的) mismatch, together with sudden starts and stops, makes people feel carsick more easily.”可知，后文提到了人们专注于屏幕、很少看外面的行为，此处需要引出屏幕带来的影响，进一步解释感官不匹配的原因，选项B“汽车里更大的屏幕让情况变得更糟。”符合语境。故选B。 4. 根据“Sadly, self-driving cars may be another problem…Maybe it’s because people feel less in control”可知，前文提到自动驾驶汽车是另一个问题，此处需要用具体数据支撑这一观点，从而引出后文对原因的分析，选项G“一项研究表明，12%的美国人可能会在自动驾驶汽车中感到晕车。”符合语境。故选G。 5. 根据“For example, Honda, a Japanese company, is trying to make cars move without sudden stops and starts.”可知，后文提到了本田公司的具体措施，此处需要一个总起句，引出汽车制造商为解决问题所做的努力，选项F“为了解决这些问题，汽车制造商正在尽最大努力。”符合语境。故选F。 Passage 10 Do you know “20 minutes for the park”?

It helps her clear the mind and take a rest from work. Huang believes parks are like your own secret hiding place. She considers herself a quiet person. 2 She enjoys spending time alone in parks without worrying about anything. Parks are also shared spaces. 3 “Parks help people find joy without opening their wallets,” Liu Xie, a young stage designer, explained. At the same time, parks are public (公共的) spaces as well. Cheng Yuyan, the founder of the “We Love Strolling in the Park” group on Douban, noticed something interesting during her visit to parks in Japan. 4 Local people gave them to the parks for free. Also, many parks offer guidebooks describing the history, geography and blooming schedules (开花时间表) of the plants inside.

When it arrived, she already had a place prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, but there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it, feed it, and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom. 3 One morning weeks later, when standing before the vine, she felt very sad that her plant had not bloomed. 4 It was at this point that her neighbor, whose yard joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the blooms of that vine you planted.” The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard, and sure enough, she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was filled with blooms. 5 The vine had grown through the crevices (缝隙) and it had not flowered on her side of the wall, but it had flowered on the other side.
