26、   Most of us might only begin to think about dinner in the late afternoon: What should I make today? But Jelena Petrovic begins to think about her big meal early each morning. After morning tea, she and her husband, Milan, begin their plans for a traditional Serbian dish. The cooking method they use probably comes from Jelena’s mother or grandmother. Each recipe uses local foods found in Serbian markets.

Milan goes to the market to get the food they need. And the 69-year-old Jelena makes plans for how she will explain the cooking process to her 150,000 followers on YouTube. Once she is ready, Jelena films her cooking show from a small kitchen table. Milan holds the camera.

Jelena has many years of cooking experience at home. Ten years ago, she started an online program, where she shared recipes and cooking suggestions for meat, soup, bread, sweet treats and more.

Her number of followers grew over time. She decided to start a blog and began also making videos she filmed with her mobile phone. Today, her videos on YouTube have over 50 million views.

Last year, “Granny’s Kitchen” was named one of the Top 50 YouTube channels in Serbia.

Now her YouTube channel takes up much of her day. She works from her small kitchen and home office. Colorful plants and flowers fill the room. A bright cloth covers the table where she works. She says she gets tired from cooking long hours each day. But, she said, “My viewers wait for a new recipe every morning. If I am late, they will ask if I am well or what is happening.”

Often, her viewers write that the recipes bring back happy memories of their childhood. “My recipes are all local, traditional home-food recipes,” Jelena said. “I make things my mother or grandmother used to make.”

【1】What is special about Jelena’s dealing with dinner?

A.She prepares dinner with special foods. B.She considers her dinner plan earlier.

C.She asks her husband to prepare dinner. D.She completes dinner in the late afternoon.

【2】Which of the following can best describe “Granny’s Kitchen”?

A.Boring. B.Simple. C.Little-known. D.Popular.

【3】How does Milan help his wife make the cooking program?

A.By cooking food.

B.By explaining the cooking process.

C.By buying goods and shooting the videos.

D.By analyzing cooking methods for dinner.

【4】What encourages Jelena to continue her cooking program?

A.Her viewers’ care and expectation.

B.Her love for traditional home food.

C.Her happy memories of childhood.

D.Her real interest in cooking food.

27、Small talk. Chitchat. These are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. 【1】 Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers.

Many people find these small conversations about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. 【2】They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn't do anything. They consider small talk not important.

【3】 These exchanges can open doors that may lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. When you first meet someone or talk to someone you don't know well, it would be awkward to begin a conversation about a really deep topic such as war, politics or the meaning of life. Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to know that person better-or not. Let's say you make small talk with someone at a party. 【4】You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.

Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding, or empathy, toward people you know but not well. Chatting with a colleague about their child may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. 【5】

A．However, small talk is important.

B．And small talk may make us happier.

C．But they only want to talk about cats.

D．Others say small talk is a waste of time.

E．This could help build healthy work relationships.

F．However, some people are not good at small talk.

G．Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well.

28、SAN FRANCISCO－DJI，a Chinese manufacturer of consumer and commercial drones，made headlines in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond last week by helping to locate a missing teen. The police department in Fremont，California，on Tuesday, issued a public notice detailing how a drone had helped officers locate a missing teen.

A police dispatcher(调度员)received a call around 8:30 pm on Feb 5 from the California Highway Patrol，which requested assistance in locating a missing student from the California School for the Deaf.

Several officers responded on foot to the scene，conjunction of railroad track and road. Police also deployed a drone to expedite (加快)the search. The drone，later identified as a DJ I Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual model，is equipped with a thermal imaging camera system that enables searching in the dark.

Shortly after the drone took off，the pilot reported a heat spot；it was the missing teenager，who was hiding in bushes. The pilot then guided officers through the communication system to approach the youth，who was cold and hungry. He was then rushed to paramedics(护理人员)nearby.

Lieutenant Matt Snelson，in charge of the department’s unmanned aerial-vehicle program，said the search for and rescue of "a young man who needed help，and to get him to the resources he needed" was a big success for "our UAV(无人机)team and our community". The technology allowed officers to expedite the search，which normally could have taken several hours and more resources，he said，adding，"We have been training and expanding our program to be prepared for this exact scenario.”

Fremont，home to Tesla and several high-tech unicorn startups，is an early adopter of drones. The city administrator approved the purchase of the drones，along with the necessary training，about three years ago.

"We feel so grateful that our technology has been used to help a young man’s life.”Adam Lisberg，corporate communication director of DJI North America，told China Daily. According to available statistics，the Fremont teen was the 211th on a global public safety list of drone-assist rescues，said Lisberg. Shao Yang，a newly elected Fremont City Council member，shared the story of the DJI drone-assisted police search on social media.“A successful integration of high-tech and protection of lives，”he concluded.

29、   “Hello” is a relatively new greeting. It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do?”

Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someone’s attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, “Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”

Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didn’t have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir?” or “What is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem: Since telephones didn’t ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line”? The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn’t catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.

“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.

【1】Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared?

A. It was too informal.

B. It was hard to pronounce.

C. It was considered to be rude.

D. There were other words like “hello”.

【2】“Hullo” was used to show something _____.

A. interesting B. exciting

C. boring D. unexpected

【3】Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.

A. how “hello” was used to answer the telephone

B. the friendship between Bell and Edison

C. the invention of the telephone

D. how the telephone improved

【4】We can infer from the text that _____.

A. “hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was invented

B. the telephone has changed the way people speak

C. people liked simple expressions like “hello”

D. Bell advised girls to use “hello”

30、   She wasn’t aiming to make history. But in the late 1990s, when Sumita Mitra, a chemist at 3M, _____ to use nanotechnology(纳米技术) to improve dental (牙齿的) fillings, that’s exactly what happened.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

35、Directions：Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean.
