二、 完形填空。(每小题1分,共15分)
Alexander Graham Bell is often thought to be the “father of the telephone”. However, there were many other scientists, like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci, who also developed a talking telegraph(电报机). It is not a simple thing to 1 who is the “father” of something. The name often goes to the scientist of the most useful work, not to the one with the 2 idea. This is exactly what happened to the telephone.
There has been a 3 about who really developed the telephone. People have written articles and books about the subject. It is known that Bell got the patent(专利) for designing the telephone in 1876. He was the first to get the patent but he was not the first to think of the 4 of a telephone. Antonio Meucci, an Italian scientist, 5 building a talking telegraph in 1849. In 1871, he got a document that could prove he designed the machine. In later years, because of some 6 , Meucci couldn’t get a new document. His name in the history of the 7 was then forgotten until his work was honoured(授予表彰) again on June 11, 2002.
Some studies on the patent application(申请) for the telephone have made things even more 8 . Researchers say that Elisha Gray, a(n) 9 at Oberlin College, and Bell applied for the patent on the telephone on the same day. These gentlemen didn’t actually 10 the Patent Office—their lawyers(律师) did. Researchers find in records that Bell’s lawyer went to the office 11 . The date was February 14, 1876. He was the fifth to get into the office that day and Gray’s lawyer was the 39th. As a result, Bell got the patent and Gray’s work was not honoured. 12 , many people don’t believe this story. They think that there had to be some 13 or unfair actions by people working at the Patent Office, and 14 even by Bell himself.
This long discussion is 15 not coming to its end. But this question may not matter at all. After all, we could live in a very different world without any of the three scientists’ great work.
( )1. A. think B. decide C. predict D. imagine
( )2. A. cool B. wonderful C. amazing D. original
( )3. A. discussion B. talk C. conversation D. communication

三、 阅读理解。(共20分)
第一节 阅读下列短文,从A、 B、 C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项。(每小题1.5分,共15分)
A
① Some people say that the UK and the USA are two countries separated(分割) by a common language. It means although both the British and the Americans speak English, there are many differences in the ways they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences in pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles.
② I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. They’re so polite that they sometimes say the contrary(相反) of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have opinions similar to yours. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home.
③ Later, I went to study in the USA for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind as to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating.
④ Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning!
( )1. What does the underlined word “challenge” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A hard task. B. An easy task. C. A boring task. D. A daily task.
( )2. How does the writer develop Paragraph 2?
A. By explaining facts. B. By using numbers.
C. By giving an example. D. By comparing two facts.
( )3. What do we know about the writer from the last paragraph?
A. The writer has found a new way to learn English.
B. The writer has a long way to go in learning English.
C. The writer wants to start learning English again.
D. The writer plans to study in the USA for longer.
( )4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②③/④ C. ①②/③/④ D. ①/②/③④
( )5. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Communicating like the British

C. The UK and the USA: Common Language, Different Styles
D. The UK and the USA: Different Countries, Common Cultures

① Did you know that when you surf the web, some websites in certain countries install secret software on your computer? This software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to internet companies, which then sell the information to other businesses. Your personal information can also be gathered from social media platforms. There are various ways this information may be used.
② First, these companies collect your data and record all your online habits. They figure out where you live, which websites you visit and what activities you do online. With this information, they can infer other details about you. For instance, they can guess your gender, age and interests. They use this data to determine which advertisements suit you best. Two people visiting the same website may see completely different ads. For example, someone who likes sports might be shown ads for sports shoes, while a film lover could see promotions of a new movie.
③ Your personal information might also be sold for profit. Some companies specialize in collecting information and sell it to other businesses. Such a business that collects and sells personal information is known as a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, numerous different companies gain access to your online habits, and then they will promote products from other websites to you.
④ Another way your personal information can be obtained is through social media. Once your information is posted on social media, it becomes visible to many people. Even if you don’t use social media yourself, a friend might share a photo or video of you with your name attached. Free sharing of pictures and videos is one of the great benefits of social media. However, this very act of sharing could put your personal security at risk. If someone learns too much about you, they may steal your identity. They can then make online purchases or post messages while pretending to be you.
⑤ The law is finally evolving to keep up with technological developments. In the European Union, for example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been introduced. This regulation allows internet users to ask companies to show them the information collected about them and even request its deletion. If other countries follow suit, the internet could soon become a much safer place.
( )6. According to Paragraph 2, what will the companies find by collecting your information?
a. Age and hobbies. b. Online activities. c. The address. d. The job.
A. bcd B. abd C. acd D. abc
( )7. The underlined word “gathered” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.
A. hidden B. collected C. created D. forgotten
( )8. Which of the following statements is wrong?
A. Data brokers can make money by selling personal information to other businesses.
B. Nobody can get your information if your friend posts a video of you with your name on it.
C. According to GDPR, we can ask companies to delete our personal information they have collected online.
D. Different people can see different ads on the same website because their online habits have been gathered.
( )9. Which is the most suitable for the beginning of the last paragraph?
A. However, it’s not all bad news.
B. Anyway, every coin has two sides.
C. Actually, different people have different opinions.
D. Indeed, people believe things are changing for the worse.
( )10. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. ①②/③④⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤

Learning languages has always been important. It helps us have a better conversation with people from other countries. People also learn languages to have better job chances.
One of the quickest ways to improve your English is to use it in your activities every day. You can use different tools, such as a smartphone, an MP3 player and a computer. What you can do to learn some vocabulary about computers is to change the language on all the devices(设备) you use to English. You will learn the new language every time you hold the device and try to do something. New information will be taken in even when you are not aware of it.
Another thing you can do to get more language exposure is listening to podcasts(播客). On the internet, you can find many websites offering special podcasts to learners of English. You can also listen to just common podcasts by some famous people, like actors or sports players. This way, you get yourself familiar(熟悉的) with real spoken language.
Using your ears and eyes at the same time is much better when you are trying to learn something and that is why watching short videos in English might be even more helpful. But if you feel confident enough, why not watch a whole film in English without subtitles(字幕)?
Another skill is reading. You can choose English websites and articles to read online. You can also read online magazines and literature(文学作品). You can either buy real books or e-books.
Last but not least, you can socialize in English! Find pen pals and exchange letters with them. Look for special online groups for learners of English or create your own and you can talk with them in English.

Alexander Graham Bell is often thought to be the “father of the telephone”. However, there were many other scientists, like Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci, who also developed a talking telegraph(电报机). It is not a simple thing to 1 who is the “father” of something. The name often goes to the scientist of the most useful work, not to the one with the 2 idea. This is exactly what happened to the telephone.
There has been a 3 about who really developed the telephone. People have written articles and books about the subject. It is known that Bell got the patent(专利) for designing the telephone in 1876. He was the first to get the patent but he was not the first to think of the 4 of a telephone. Antonio Meucci, an Italian scientist, 5 building a talking telegraph in 1849. In 1871, he got a document that could prove he designed the machine. In later years, because of some 6 , Meucci couldn’t get a new document. His name in the history of the 7 was then forgotten until his work was honoured(授予表彰) again on June 11, 2002.

Researchers say that Elisha Gray, a(n) 9 at Oberlin College, and Bell applied for the patent on the telephone on the same day.

He was the fifth to get into the office that day and Gray’s lawyer was the 39th. As a result, Bell got the patent and Gray’s work was not honoured. 12 , many people don’t believe this story. They think that there had to be some 13 or unfair actions by people working at the Patent Office, and 14 even by Bell himself.
This long discussion is 15 not coming to its end. But this question may not matter at all. After all, we could live in a very different world without any of the three scientists’ great work.

One of the quickest ways to improve your English is to use it in your activities every day. You can use different tools, such as a smartphone, an MP3 player and a computer.

Another skill is reading. You can choose English websites and articles to read online. You can also read online magazines and literature(文学作品). You can either buy real books or e-books.
Last but not least, you can socialize in English! Find pen pals and exchange letters with them.

Now with the help of science and technology, my English has improved a lot. When I meet new words, I can look them up in the e-dictionary. Many apps help me practise my listening and speaking. In addition, I also improve my English by taking online classes. Thanks to science and technology, my English has improved. I believe that science and technology will make learning English more convenient.
Thank you for listening.
