Everyone back home told me that one of the nicest things about college is the people you meet. They all promised me that I would 36 friendship that could last a lifetime. I would always smile and agree. Actually, before I 37 college, I really didn’t care.

I have always been rather quiet and never been able to make friends 38 . I would always forget names after I met people.

No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.
Tip One: Family Meals
Family meals are nice for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.
Tip Two: Healthy Snacks
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough healthy snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.
Tip Three: Being a Good Example
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the
lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sweet drinks, you are sending the right message.
Tip Four: No Shouts about Food
Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy foods in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat. You need to work a bit on how to make the food tasty.

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets and didn’t know where to go. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words.
All the lights were off except Father's.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of walking quietly into my room in my sleep and then tucking(把...裹住) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.
( ) 53.Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-e-c-a-d
( ) 54.What made the writer think of his childhood?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
( ) 55.Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
( ) 56.What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. In fact, the father is kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault (过错) with his son.
D
Imagine you are thinking about entering a senior high school, but have questions. So you go
to the school's website to find answers. A message appears on your computer and says, How can I help?" You are not communicating with a human being, but a chatbot. It is using artificial
intelligence (AI) to communicate with you. This might sound strange, but in recent years, chatbots have become an usual tool for banks and large companies around the world.
Having workers answer people 's questions and complaints can be expensive. And workers
can only work several hours a day, making customers wait longer for a response (回复). So not
only companies, but more schools have also begun using chatbot technology, says Keith Rajecki.
He is with Oracle Higher Education, a computer software company that serves these institutions.
Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools
and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find
ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.
Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping
students register (注册) for classes to helping them ask for a few days off. Oracle is not the only
company working on chatbot technology. Businesses like AdmitHub and Ivy.ai are involved in
similar efforts. Western Governors University, or WGU, also received a $750,000 award to
experiment with a new kind of chatbot. We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple
questions," said Jason Leven, the director of WGU Labs. We're trying to create a chatbot that
can help decision making for students.
Ian Jacobs is with the market research company Forrester. He suggests that technology like
chatbots can work well if it is able to do what users ask of it. Jacobs says the problem will appear
when cost cutting becomes an important reason for using the technology. This means schools and
companies are more likely to try using chatbots for things they are not yet able to do, such as
communicating in the way humans do. For one thing, there are hundreds of ways to word even
simple requests. For another, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions (情感). They can't
understand how humans feel, not to speak of comforting (安慰) them.
( ) 57. Which of the following is not the reason why more schools are turning to chatbot
technology?
A. Schools want to serve the students better.
B. Chatbot technology can help schools save money.
C. Students are used to communicating with chatbots.
D. Chatbot technology makes students wait shorter for a response.
( ) 58. Chatbots may work well in the following situations except __________.
A. when students want to know more about a school
B. when students are wondering how to register for classes
C. when students want to have two days off because of illness
D. when students are in need of some help because a parent dies
( ) 59. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of __________.
However, not everyone is ready to consider the possibilities this kind of technology presents.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
( ) 60.What can we infer from the passage?
A. A chatbot is able to do whatever users ask of it.
B. A chatbot is a kind of completely new technology using AI.
C. A new chatbot may appear to help students to make decisions.
D. Chatbot technology has been used in both schools and companies.

Making small spaces look bigger is one of the biggest challenges often met by homeowners. There is no need to use the professional staff to fix this problem because, in most cases, it is possible to do it on your own. If you feel your living room uncomfortably small, you can follow some tips to make it seem bigger.
Clean up the mess. Do not use more than three pieces of any type of decorations, for example, flower vases. Cut down the number of items displayed on the floor, such as house plants. Place as many of them as possible on the shelves.
Choose a small dining table. You can move and put away small tables in other rooms when they are not needed, and this can help to make the living room appear more spacious(宽敞的). And a new kind of furniture has appeared. The newly-designed furniture takes up very little space and makes a room look spacious. It is a very nice design.
Place a large wall mirror. If you have a good wall that you are thinking about using to decorate, try finding a large wall mirror that you can place there and see if it can make your living room look larger.
Choose bright colors or light ones instead of dark colors when treating the walls, avoid dark colored wallpaper, which can make the room seem even smaller. Consider (考虑) using one color theme in two neighboring rooms that are in the same line of sight. If you want to make a room look bigger, try painting it blue. It seems to push the walls back.

Everyone back home told me that one of the nicest things about college is the people you meet. They all promised me that I would 36 friendship that could last a lifetime. I would always smile and agree. Actually, before I 37 college, I really didn’t care.
I lived in the dorm(宿舍) where six guys lived in two small connecting rooms. All my roommates seemed to be good guys, but I didn’t really try to get to know them.
I have always been rather quiet and never been able to make friends 38 . I would always forget names after I met people. When we passed again and they called out my name, I would 39 with an uncomfortable wave and a weak hello. This was 40 things went for the first month or so. After a while, things started to change.

One night my roommates invited me to listen to a fellow roommate’s practice with one of our college choir (合唱团). They drove me across the school where my roommate was to perform.
It so happened that this was my birthday, but I had kept quiet about it. So you can imagine my surprise when we entered the hall and the 120-member choir began to sing “Happy Birthday” to me. 43 at the dorm, my friends held a small party for me, complete with a card and cake.

No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good eating habits.
Tip One: Family Meals
Family meals are nice for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their kids about their life.
Tip Two: Healthy Snacks
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough healthy snacks, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.
Tip Three: Being a Good Example
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the
lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sweet drinks, you are sending the right message.
Tip Four: No Shouts about Food
Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy foods in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat. You need to work a bit on how to make the food tasty.
Tip Five: Get Kids Included(参与)
Most kids will enjoy making the decision about food. Talk to them about making choices and planning a healthy meal. It can help them to make good decisions on their own about the foods they want to eat.
( ) 49. What is the author’s attitude(态度) toward snacks?

C. Kids can only have snacks at home.
D. It’s not necessary to have snacks at home.
( ) 50. What does the underlined phrase “ the right message” mean?

( ) 51. According to Tip Four, what should parents do if kids refuse to eat healthy food?
A. Explain how healthy it is.
B. Try cooking it in a different way
C. Never cook the same food.
D. Ask kids to get used to its taste.
( ) 52. Why should parents get kids included when they make the decision about food?

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets and didn’t know where to go. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words.
All the lights were off except Father's.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of walking quietly into my room in my sleep and then tucking(把...裹住) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.
( ) 53.Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-e-c-a-d
( ) 54.What made the writer think of his childhood?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
( ) 55.Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
( ) 56.What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. In fact, the father is kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault (过错) with his son.
D
Imagine you are thinking about entering a senior high school, but have questions. So you go
to the school's website to find answers. A message appears on your computer and says, How can I help?" You are not communicating with a human being, but a chatbot. It is using artificial
intelligence (AI) to communicate with you. This might sound strange, but in recent years, chatbots have become an usual tool for banks and large companies around the world.
Having workers answer people 's questions and complaints can be expensive. And workers
can only work several hours a day, making customers wait longer for a response (回复). So not
only companies, but more schools have also begun using chatbot technology, says Keith Rajecki.
He is with Oracle Higher Education, a computer software company that serves these institutions.
Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools
and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find
ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.
Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping
students register (注册) for classes to helping them ask for a few days off. Oracle is not the only
company working on chatbot technology. Businesses like AdmitHub and Ivy.ai are involved in
similar efforts. Western Governors University, or WGU, also received a $750,000 award to
experiment with a new kind of chatbot. We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple
questions," said Jason Leven, the director of WGU Labs. We're trying to create a chatbot that
can help decision making for students.
Ian Jacobs is with the market research company Forrester. He suggests that technology like
chatbots can work well if it is able to do what users ask of it. Jacobs says the problem will appear
when cost cutting becomes an important reason for using the technology. This means schools and
companies are more likely to try using chatbots for things they are not yet able to do, such as
communicating in the way humans do. For one thing, there are hundreds of ways to word even
simple requests. For another, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions (情感). They can't
understand how humans feel, not to speak of comforting (安慰) them.
( ) 57. Which of the following is not the reason why more schools are turning to chatbot
technology?
A. Schools want to serve the students better.
B. Chatbot technology can help schools save money.
C. Students are used to communicating with chatbots.
D. Chatbot technology makes students wait shorter for a response.
( ) 58. Chatbots may work well in the following situations except __________.
A. when students want to know more about a school
B. when students are wondering how to register for classes
C. when students want to have two days off because of illness
D. when students are in need of some help because a parent dies
( ) 59. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of __________.
However, not everyone is ready to consider the possibilities this kind of technology presents.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
( ) 60.What can we infer from the passage?
A. A chatbot is able to do whatever users ask of it.
B. A chatbot is a kind of completely new technology using AI.
C. A new chatbot may appear to help students to make decisions.
D. Chatbot technology has been used in both schools and companies.

Making small spaces look bigger is one of the biggest challenges often met by homeowners. There is no need to use the professional staff to fix this problem because, in most cases, it is possible to do it on your own. If you feel your living room uncomfortably small, you can follow some tips to make it seem bigger.
Clean up the mess. Do not use more than three pieces of any type of decorations, for example, flower vases. Cut down the number of items displayed on the floor, such as house plants. Place as many of them as possible on the shelves.
Choose a small dining table. You can move and put away small tables in other rooms when they are not needed, and this can help to make the living room appear more spacious(宽敞的). And a new kind of furniture has appeared. The newly-designed furniture takes up very little space and makes a room look spacious. It is a very nice design.
Place a large wall mirror. If you have a good wall that you are thinking about using to decorate, try finding a large wall mirror that you can place there and see if it can make your living room look larger.
Choose bright colors or light ones instead of dark colors when treating the walls, avoid dark colored wallpaper, which can make the room seem even smaller. Consider (考虑) using one color theme in two neighboring rooms that are in the same line of sight. If you want to make a room look bigger, try painting it blue. It seems to push the walls back.
