A

With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.

★WeChat

WeChat is now the most popular social media app in China. Almost everyone is using WeChat. You can send both text and voice messages on WeChat. You can also make voice and video calls. You can also post texts, pictures and video clips. If your friends in your home country have this app, you can also chat with them through voice or video. WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.

★Alipay

Alipay is a similar app to PayPal. It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option. You can even use mobile payment at street vendors, so if you have this app, you can leave your wallet at home.

★Didi

Now Didi seems to be the smartest way to travel around. With one tap, a car comes directly to you. Didi is a Chinese car-hailing service app. It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.

★Pleco

This is one of the top Chinese/English dictionary apps and it covers 130,000 Chinese words and includes 20,000 example sentences with pinyin. It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.

China is one of the largest producers and consumers of watermelon in the world. And Wu Mingzhu, a schoolmate of Yuan Longping at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in the late 1940s, is the unsung hero who has helped make this possible.

“It’s no exaggeration（夸张）to say that about 80 percent of more than 20,000 of China’s new seed types of watermelons and sweet melons at people’s dining tables everyday are the result of great efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said a colleague of Wu’s.

In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanshan County, Turpan Basin in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where working conditions were hard. In 1958, Wu began to promote the modern technology of planting melons among farmers. However, the local farmers who were used to folk planting methods, didn’t seem to take kindly to that. With the help of a famous local melon expert, Wu opened up three acres of wasteland to plant melons according to scientific knowledge. When autumn arrived, local farmers found the melons Wu planted in a scientific way were particularly delicious. From then on, the farmers began to adopt Wu’s scientific growing methods.

Wu’s efforts to grow quality melons began paying off in 1973 when she went to the off-season breeding（培育）base in Hainan. She wanted to develop Hainan as a pilot area so that the south area of China could also grow melons, and realize the dream of three-matured or even four-matured melons. After numerous difficulties, finally in the 80s, the melon variety selected by Wu succeeded. Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.”

Now dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, Wu is often unable to recognize her former colleagues or even her family members who live by her side. But having worked day and night to breed new seed types since the 1950s, she can still remember her melon work.

24. What does Wu’s colleague think of her?

A. Hardworking.   B. Brave.     C. Kindhearted. D. Considerate.

25. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Local farmers trusted Wu at first.  

B. Wu failed to spread her technology.

C. Wu’s technology worked in Turpan Basin. 

D. A local expert improved Wu’s methods.

26. Why did Wu choose Hainan as a breeding base?

A. To attract more watermelon consumers.

B. To earn more money by selling more melons.

C. To guide the local farmers to grow watermelons.

D. To improve the speed and efficiency of breeding.

27. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Wu Mingzhu’s lifestyle.     

B. A devoted watermelon scientist.

C. Wu Mingzhu’s new discovery.  

D. The modern technology of melon growing.

C

Global warming is the increase of the earth's average surface temperature  due to the effect of greenhouse gases, for example, carbon dioxide, which traps heat that would otherwise escape from the earth. After the trees are cut down  and more greenhouse gases are released, the “blanket” around the earth called the ozone layer (臭氧层) , will get thicker. This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter. Luckily, there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming, and it's never too late or too early for children to take action.

The children should learn what a carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint

is the amount of carbon and greenhouse gases people make as they lead the daily life and go about the normal activities. In other words, the carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact (冲击) the life has. To live an environmentally friendly life that doesn't contribute to global warming, people want to have the smallest carbon footprint possible.

Almost everything people do contributes to global warming and is related  to fossil fuel consumption. These can be direct uses of fossil fuels, like riding in  a gasoline-powered car, or indirect contributions to greenhouse gases, such as eating fruits or vegetables that have to be shipped from far away to reach their tables.

If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming, he should ride a bicycle to the near park, school, his friend's house, or anywhere else instead of taking the car. Or he may try to walk or jog, which is also helpful. In addition, although trains and buses often run on fossil fuels, on average, each person uses less energy and produces less pollution to run. Next time if children with their parents have to get around town or it's too far to walk or bike, take the bus or other public transportation instead of asking for a ride.

28.What is the main reason for global warming?

A. Too much greenhouse gases being released.

B. The ozone layer having caught more heat.

C. Too many trees having been cut down.

D. The earth's inner temperature having increased.

29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. Life has an impact on carbon footprint.

B. The definition of a carbon footprint.

C. People should live an environmental friendly life.

D. People make a huge amount of carbon and greenhouse gases.

30. For whom does the author want to write the passage?

A. Scientists.        B. Parents.      C. Children educators.      D. Adults.

31. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. What Can People Do to Use Less Energy?

B. Why Does Global Warming Affects Humans' Life?

C. How Can Kids Help Reduce Global Warming?

D. How Does Carbon Footprints Measure Pollution?

                             D

Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone? If yes, you're not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing  out). They reach for their mobilephones when they wake up in the morning, and  for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.

Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. As Sameer Samat, US tech Company Google's vice president  of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8th, 70 percent of people don't want to spend so much time  on their phones. This is why during the conference Google introduced an app

called Dashboard for the new version(版本)of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.

It all starts with a bird's eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they've unlocked their phone and how many times they've checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.

Once the users see this information, they'll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they've hit the limit, they won't be able to launch the app until the next day.

But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they're still likely to be drawn in by notifications(通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.

If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?

32.Who are the target users of Dashboard?

A. People who know little about smartphones.

B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.

C. People who are slow at searching for things online.

D. People who wish to manage the time spent on their smartphone.

33. What can Dashboard do?

A. Lock the phone at a certain time.

B. Limit some apps to certain users.

C. Limit the time certain apps can be used.

D. Silence app notifications at night.

34.The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_____.                   

A. skillful           B. conscious       C.  trapped       D. creative

35.What does the author think of Dashboard?

A. It's not useful at all.                  B. It's perfectly designed.

C. It should include more functions.       D. It may be helpful to some people.
