【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

The problem of robocalls has become so severe that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. 1 Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.

That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to receptionist and book a reservation without detection.

2 The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and cark number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. 3.

We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. 4 That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications -- using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.

Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.

A. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.

B. There are many challenges in robotics that need to be addressed in order to solve the voice manipulation and assembly problems.

C. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt.

D. It’s high time that the government should spare no effort to tackle the problem immediately.

AB. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real.

AC. Those developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse.

【题目】 My mother always told us there is no use crying over spilled milk. That means you should not get angry when something bad happens and cannot be changed. She also told us you have to break some eggs to make an omelet(煎蛋卷). This means you have to do what is necessary to move forward.

We need to pay more attention and fix the problem. I once made a big mistake at the office and felt silly. I had egg on my face.

Over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television. But I do not like football. It is not my cup of tea.

【题目】The London Underground (The Tube)

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

It’s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of 4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

The Bus System

Outside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs 1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users.

Light Rail and Trains

You can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford.

River Services

There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

National Rail

Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1.

1When taking the London Underground, you _______.

A.should buy tickets with cash

B.can go to any place in London quickly

C.can save more money with a single ticket

D.are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days

2If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass _______.

A.London BridgeB.Stratford

C.Canary WharfD.Tower Hill

3To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use _______.

A.the London UndergroundB.the Bus System

C.the DLR and the TramlinkD.National Rail

【题目】If youre like many Americans, youre probably not getting enough sleep. Constantly on the go, you may think you never have enough time to finish everything on your to-do list. But that doesnt mean you should shortchange your sleep—or your health, for that matter.

1 Then, follow these simple tips to help you get better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

Sleep Fix #1 Give your bedroom a makeover.

Make your sleeping area conducive to rest by keeping it dark and quiet. 2 Keep in mind that your body temperature drops at night, so you want to keep your room environment at a cool, comfortable level.

Sleep Fix #2 Get enough sleep.

Most people need seven or eight hours to best function, says Nancy Collop, MD, director of the Emory Sleep Center in Atlanta and president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “You dont want to be tired or sleepy during the day,” she says. If you need an alarm clock to wake up, find yourself chugging caffeine to stay awake, or you nod off during meetings, you may not be getting enough shut-eye.

Sleep Fix #3 Establish a regular routine.

Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. People who frequently switch their sleep times experience something similar to jet lag. Basner points to “Sunday night insomnia,” where weekend warriors stay up late on Friday and Saturday and then have trouble falling asleep on Sunday. 3, he explains.

Sleep Fix #44

Its tempting to watch TV or surf the web from bed, but those activities usually make it harder to wind down. The latest research suggests that artificial light coming from laptop screens, TVs, etc. suppresses the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin(诱导睡眠的褪黑激素). So give yourself a technology curfew and turn off those screens at least an hour before bedtime.

Sleep Fix #5 Make bedtime a priority for the whole family.

5 Use rituals(仪式、惯例) that help children wind down like bath, brushing teeth, and story time. Be aware that your kids may try to push the bedtime limits. “Kids are pretty clever. Theyll try to manipulate(操纵) parents if they can and parents need to try to avoid giving in to that,” says Colon.

A. There are treatments available for cases of sleeplessness.

B. So start by making sleep a priority in your life.

C. If you live in a city, consider using a white-noise machine to block out loud noises.

D. Unexplained sleepiness is an important signal that you should talk to your doctor.

E. Just those 24-48 hours can shift your circadian rhythm(昼夜节律) and cause poor sleep.

F. Put away your gadgets.

G. School-age kids benefit from a regular bedtime routine.

【题目】 When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn't understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we’re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying - holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering - can be bad for physical health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural –and healthy-emotional response.

1Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?

A.The author doesn't give the explanation.

B.Because she did not love her grandmother.

C.Because she was too shy to cry at that time.

D.Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.

2It can inferred from the text that ______.

A.there are two ways to keep mental health.

B.crying does more good to health than laughing

C.crying and laughing play the same jobs.

D.emotional health has a close relationship to physical health.

3According to the author, which of the following statements is true?

A.Crying is the best way to get help from others.

B.Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.

C.We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.

D.We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.

4What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A.Power of Tears

B.How to Keep Healthy

C.Why We Cry

D.A New Scientific Discovery
