I saved the grain(谷物) carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot then but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop hoping they would serve as the scarecrows, which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store(储存)，I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots(锅)one for rice and one for wheat.
Next I made a clay oven and some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake(烘烤)bread I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that. I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore(探索) the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I still made a decision to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch, I realized I had made my boat too far from the nearest stream(溪流).The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years to continue working. I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software or your computer? The software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to internet companies. The internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be gathered from social media sites. There are many ways your information can be used.
First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They find out where you live, what websites you visit and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are male or female how old you are and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which ads are best for you Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different ads. For example, someone who likes sports could see ads for trainers, and someone who likes films might sec ads for a film.
Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information just so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then the companies will advertise products or other websites to you.
Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When you information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great advantages. However that same act of sharing could be a problem for your own security(安全).If someone knows too much about you, they steal your identity. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending(假装)to be you.
▲ . The law is finally changing when it comes to technology. In the European Union, for example, they have introduced the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR). This rule means that internet users can now ask companies to show them what information they have about them and even make them delete it. If other countries do the same, the internet could soon be a much safer place.
58.According to paragraph 2what will the companies find by collecting your information?
①age and hobbies ② online activities ③address ④job
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D. ②③④
59. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. Data brokers can make money by selling personal information to other businesses
B. Data brokers can’t 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 websites because their online habits have been gathered.

D
It was a dark autumn night. The old banker was walking up and down his study and remembering how, one autumn evening fifteen years before, he had given a party.
There had been many clever men, and they had talked of capital punishment. Among the guests was a young lawyer, a young man of twenty-five. When asked be said “If I have to choose between the death penalty(死刑)and imprisonment(监禁)for life, I would certainly choose the second. It’s better to live somehow than not to live at all.”
The banker struck the table with his fist and shouted at the young man, “It’s not true! I'll bet you two million-you wouldn’t stay in a prison even for five years.”
“If you mean it seriously," said the young man, “I’ll take the bet, but I would stay not five but fifteen years.”
“Fifteen? Done!” cried the banker, “Gentlemen. I stake(下注)two million!”
“Agreed! ▲ " said the young man. And this wild, senseless bet was carried out!
And now the banker, walking and from, asked himself, “What is the object of that bet? What is the good of that man’s losing fifteen years of his life and my throwing away two million?" Then he remembered what followed that evening. It was decided that the young man should spend the years of his imprisonment under the strictest supervision, in a tiny room in the banker’s house. He shouldn't be free to go out, to see human beings, or to hear the human voice. He was only allowed to have some books. The agreement restricted the young man there exactly fifteen years. The slightest attempt on his part to break the rules-if only two minutes before the end--the banker wouldn't pay him the two million.
For the first year, the prisoner suffered from loneliness and hopelessness very seriously. The books he sent for were love novels, fantastic stories, and so on. In the second year, the prisoner asked only for the classics. In the fifth year, he didn’t read books. More than once could be heard crying. In the sixth year, the prisoner began studying languages, philosophy, and history. In the last two years, the prisoner read a large number of books. At one time he was busy with the natural sciences, then he would ask for Byron and Shakespeare.
The old banker remembered all this, and thought, “Tomorrow at twelve o’clock he’ll regain his freedom, and I should pay him two million. If I do pay him, it’s all over with me.” Fifteen years before, his millions had been beyond his imagination; now he was in great debt(债务).
“Cursed bet!" cried the old man. “The only way out for me is that the man should die.”
The clock had just struck three. The banker felt his way in the darkness into the tiny room. He struck a match. Not a person was there! Only a letter! A letter from the prisoner!
“Tomorrow at twelve o’clock I’ll regain my freedom For fifteen years I have studied hard Your books gave me wisdom….To prove to you in action how I despise(鄙视)all that you live by I announce that I give up the two million, which I once dreamed of as paradise(天堂)and which now I despise. Therefore I shall go out from here five minutes before the end of my 15 years as a prisoner, and so break the agreement .….”

A. He couldn’t wait to see the young lawyer.
B. He was too excited about the result of the bet.
C. He was worried that the young man would run away.

When you feel sick you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, and asks what you’ve been thinking about recently. When you leave, she gives you not only some medicine but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practise daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.
Doctors and scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way they do are called psychologist(心理学家). They are starting to believe that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system. Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body. Stress can help us better understand this link(关联).
Stress is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. In fact, stress is necessary.
Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body’s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.
What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren't under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can’t change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don’t even want to. A big change might be a good change but it will still be stressful.
The link between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. It's important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious(有营养的)meals. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise, like running and jogging.
66. A psychologist may help you with______
A. ail your illnesses and abilities B. your thoughts and behavior
C. your mind and nervous system D. your sleeping and daily exercise
67.What does the underlined word “weaken” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?
A.增强 B.保护 C.减弱 D.预防
68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. When we feel stressed, we should sleep less
B. Diseases and accidents are often caused by stress.
C. We shouldn’t do some sports if we are under stress
D. It is stress that helps us change ourselves.
69. From the underlined sentence of Paragraph 4 we can infer that___
A. it’s difficult to change a stressful situation
B. It’s not stressful when a good change happens
C. a big change will cause another stressful situation
D. a stressful situation can’t be changed without any effort
70.What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. The Body-brain Link B.The Causes of Stress
C. The Advice on Health D. The Brain and the Nervous system

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Can you imagine a world without chocolate? According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage(短缺)-chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate these years, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries are changing to other crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
“To prevent more farmers from changing, we are trying to create new cocoa plants that can grow faster and stronger." said the researchers at the International Cocoa Control Centre. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa on wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage there is now hope!
96.In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?

97.Why do many cocoa farmers choose to grow corn or rubber?

98. What’s the advantage of the new cocoa plants according to the researchers?

99. How long does it take scientists to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?

100 What do you think of the scientists’ research on the new types of cocoa plants?
