In no country other than modern China is the issue about changes in the way of communication more popular and prevailing. Consequently， an increasing number of people begin to pay serious attention to this issue. And， similar reports often hit the headlines of many websites， which has aroused a heated debate all over the world.

We all have to be fully convinced that the changes in the way of communication matters profoundly， and it is closely related to people’s daily life. Therefore， we are very likely to ask what may account for such phenomenon. And for me， it is quite easy to come to this conclusion that there are several factors at play. But no other reasons than the following one contributes more. During the past the decades， China has advanced sharply in all aspects， especially in the technological sectors. Due to the advancement in technology， many means of communication are available， such as WeChat. In my opinion， this is the root cause.

Admittedly， Human society will benefit greatly from the advancements of technology. In this way， a better and promising tomorrow will not be a question of if， but when.

原 文生活在中國(guó)不同地區(qū)的人們飲食多種多樣。北方人主要吃面食，南方人大多吃米飯。在沿海地區(qū)，海鮮和淡水水產(chǎn)品在人們飲食中占有相當(dāng)大的比例，而在其他地區(qū)人們的飲食中，肉類(lèi)和奶制品更為常見(jiàn)。四川、湖南等省份的居民普遍愛(ài)吃辛辣食物，而江蘇和浙江人更喜歡甜食。然而，因?yàn)榕腼兎绞礁鳟悾?lèi)食物的味道可能會(huì)有所不同。

參考譯文People living in different parts of China have a variety of diets. People in the north mainly eat food made of flour， while people in the south mostly eat rice. Along the coastal areas， seafood and fresh water products make up a large part of people’s diet， while in other areas， meat and dairy products are more common.People in Sichuan， Hunan and other provinces generally prefer spicy food， while people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces prefer sweet foods. However， due to different cooking methods， similar foods may taste different from one another.

翻譯第二套

原 文春節(jié)前夕吃團(tuán)圓飯是中國(guó)人的傳統(tǒng)。團(tuán)圓飯是一年中最重要的晚餐，也是家庭團(tuán)聚的最佳時(shí)機(jī)，家人生活在不同地方的家庭尤其如此。團(tuán)圓飯上的菜肴豐富多樣，其中有些菜肴有特殊含義。例如，魚(yú)是不可缺少的一道菜，因?yàn)闈h語(yǔ)中的“魚(yú)”字和余”字聽(tīng)上一樣。在中國(guó)的許多地方，餃子也是一道重要的佳肴，因?yàn)轱溩酉笳髦?cái)富和好運(yùn)。

參考譯文It is a Chinese tradition to have a family reunion dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. The reunion dinner is the most important dinner of the year and the best time for family reunion， especially for families living in different places. The dishes served at the reunion dinner are rich and varied， some of which have special meanings. For example， fish is an indispensable dish because the Chinese word for “fish” sounds like “surplus” in Chinese. In many parts of China， dumpling is also an important dish because it symbolizes wealth and good luck.

翻譯第三套

原 文魚(yú)是春節(jié)前夕餐桌上不可或缺的一道菜，因?yàn)闈h語(yǔ)中“魚(yú)”字的發(fā)音與“余”字的發(fā)音相同。正由于這個(gè)象征性的意義，春節(jié)期間魚(yú)也作為禮物送給親戚朋友。魚(yú)的象征意義據(jù)說(shuō)源于中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化。中國(guó)人有節(jié)省的傳統(tǒng)，他們認(rèn)為節(jié)省得愈多，就感到愈為安全。今天，盡管人們愈來(lái)愈富裕了，但他們?nèi)匀徽J(rèn)為節(jié)省是一種值得弘揚(yáng)的美德。

參考譯文Fish is an indispensable dish on the eve of the Spring Festival， because the Chinese character for fish sounds the same as the character for “abundant”. Due to this symbolic meaning， fish is also given as a gift to relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.The symbolic meaning of fish is said to be rooted in traditional Chinese culture.The Chinese people have a tradition of saving， believing that the more they save， the more secure they will feel. Today， despite the fact that people are getting richer and richer， they still regard saving as a virtue worth carrying forward.

When my son completes a task， I can’t help but praise him. It’s only natural to give praise where praise is due， right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?According to psychologist Katherine Phillip， children don’t benefit from 26 praise as much as we’d like to think.”P(pán)arents often praise， believing they are building their child’s self-confidence. However，over-praising can have a_27_effect，” says Phillip.“When we use the same praise 28 ， it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do must be 29 with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of 30 their parents.”

Does this mean we should do away with all the praise? Phillip says no.”The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the 31 . it is the recognition of a child’s attempt， or the process in which they achieved something， that is essential，”she says.”P(pán)arents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow”

So how do we break the 32 of praise we’re all so accustomed to? Phillip says it’s important to _33_ between “”person praise” and “process raise”. “Person praise is 34_ saying how great someone is. It’s a form personal approval. Process praise as acknowledgment of the efforts to person has just 35 . Children who receive person praise are more likely to feel shame after losing，”says Phillip.

The things people make，and the way they make them， determine how cities grow and decline， and influence how empires rise and fall.So，any disruption to the world’ s factories matters.

And that disruption is surely coming. Factories are being digitised，filled with new sensors and new computers to make them quicker， more flexible， and more efficient.

Robots are breaking free from the cages that surround them， learning new skills，and new ways of working. And 3D printers have long promised a world where you can make anything，any- where，from a computerised design. That vision is moving closer to reality. These forces will lead to cleaner factories， producing better goods at lower prices， personalised to our inpidual needs and desires.Humans will be spared many of the dirty， repetitive，and dangerous jobs that have long been a feature of factory life.

Greater efficiency inevitably means fewer people can do the same work. Yet factory bosses in many developed countries are worried about a lack of skilled human workers-and see automation and robots as a solution.

But economist Helena Leurent says this period of rapid change in manufacturing is a fantastic opportunity to make the world a better

place. “Manufacturing is the one system where you have got the biggest source of innovation， the biggest source of economic growth，and the biggest source of great jobs in the past. “You can see it changing.That’s an opportunity to shape that system differently，and if we can， it will have enormous significance.”

27.G) flexible

28.M) promised

M: No. (12) I did it all by myself—with a little help from my brother Greg. He’s actually in the construction business， which was really helpful.

W: Well， honestly， I’m impressed. I knew I could probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something， but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.

M: (13) Well， for a while now， I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines every now and then， and say the picture I liked. Believe it or not， I had a full notebook of magazine pages. Since my overall style was quite minimal， I thought and hoped the whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough， with Greg’s help，it was very achievable.

W: Was it very expensive? I imagine a project like this could be.

M: (14) Actually， it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture， and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount of materials from a recent project he was working on as well.

W: Great. If you don’t mind， I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. Jonathan and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room， not the whole house—not yet anyway. (15)And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?

Passage 1

(16) Removing foreign objects from ears and noses costs England almost￡3 million a year， a study suggests.

Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases. 95% of objects removed from noses， and 85% from ears. Every year， an average of 1，218 nose，and 2，479ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016. (17) According to England’s hospital episodes statistics， children aged 1 to 4 were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. 5 to 9 -year-olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most.

Jewelry items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children. Paper and plastic toys for the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds， and pencils were also found in years.

(18)According to the study， the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects. Any ear， nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases， prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts.Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.

Passage 2

Good morning. Today， I would like to talk to you about my charity Re-bicycle.

But before that， let me introduce someone. This is Layla Rahimi. She was so scared when she first moved to new Zealand. Does she struggled to leave the house? I would spend days working up the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies. (19) After a few months of being quite down and unhappy， she was invited to join a local bike club. At this time， Re-bicycle got involved and gave Layla a second-hand bicycle. Within weeks， her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life， giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom. (20) To date， Re-bicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need and is now expanding bike-riding lessons as a demand source. With a bike， new comers here can travel farther but for almost no cost. The 3 hours a day they used to spend walking to and from English language lessons has been reduced to just 1hour.

Our bike riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers， learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult for an adult. And this can take days and weeks rather than hours. So if any of you have some free time during the weekend， please come join us at Re-bicycle and make a difference in someone’s life.

Question 19. What did Re-bicycle do to help Layla Rahimi?

19.A. It gave her a used bicycle.

Question 20. What is Re-bicycle doing to help those in need?

Passage 3

Thanks to the international space station， (22) we know quite a bit about the effects of low gravity on the human body， but NASA scientists want to learn more.To that end， they have been studying how other species deal with low gravity，specifically focusing on mice. The results are both interesting and humorous. The scientists first sent some mice and especially designed cage to the international space station.The cage allowed them to study the behavior of the mice remotely from earth， via video.

As you’ll notice in the video， (23) the mice definitely seem uncomfortable at the beginning of the experiment.They move around clumsily， drifting within the small confines of the cage and do their best to figure out which way is up， but without success. However， it’s not long before the mice begin to catch on.They adapt remarkably well to their new environment， and even use the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage. That’s when things really get wild. (24) The 11th day of the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change， but actually seem to be enjoying it. Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls. The scientists wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on earth.

(25) The study showed that the mice kept much of the routines intact， including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry.

Question 22 : What do NASA scientists want to learn about?

22.A. How animals deal with lack of gravity.

Question 23: What does the passage say about the mice at the beginning of the experiment?

23.C. They were not used to the low-gravity environment.

Question 24: What was observed about the mice on the 11th day of the experiment?

24.B. They already felt at home in the new environment.

Question 25: What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?
