A recent survey(调查) shows that only about a third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday
Finding: A full 24% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.
2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday
Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly30% wash their hands only four times a day, half of the number doctors recommend.
Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs(病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3. How often do you think about fighting germs
Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.
Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

This weekend, thousands of motorcyclists are riding on the Black Hills for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Fair. For many of them, an 8-year-old’s lemonade stand has become a popular stop.
Wyatt started the free lemonade stand last year as a way to raise some money to buy a Lego set. But on the first day, he not only made enough cash to get his toys, but he was able to donate $200 to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. “So now, 50 percent goes to college,” he explained. “30 percent goes to St. Jude and the rest goes to... last year it was Legos, this year it’s a dirt bike.”
This year, Wyatt’s lemonade stand went viral after someone posted about it on social media. “I’m still trying to figure out exactly what happened,” said his mother, Robin Dennis. “This just blows my mind.”
So far, the post has been shared more than 60,000 times and encouraged hundreds of bikers from all over the U. S. to the Sturgis motorcycle rally. “He loves it,” said Robin. “He loves seeing the people. He loves waving to the people. Even if they don’t stop, they ride by and honk their horn. He makes many friends and becomes more confident.”
Whether he’s serving lemonade, posing for pictures, or sitting on a motorcycle, Wyatt has become something of a local celebrity. He’s raised enough to donate $4,500 to St. Jude this year and he has no plans to pump the brakes anytime soon.
“As long as he’s having fun doing it and it’s what he wants to do, we’ll be out here every year serving lemonade to everyone who’s here,” his mother said.
24. Why do people stop by a lemonade stand
A. To advocate the annual fair. B. To support the little boy.
C. To worship the local celebrity. D. To make lemonade for the charity.
25. What is Robin’s attitude toward Wyatt’s popularity
A. Relieved. B. Moved. C. Content. D. Amazed.
26. Which is closest in meaning to “pump the brakes” in Paragraph 5
A. Speed. B. Decline. C. Stop. D. Expand.
27. What can we learn from the story
A. Roses given, fragrance in hand.
B. Birds of a feather flock together.
C. A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
D. Love shows more in action than in words.
C
Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn. colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, Contagious: Why Things Catch On.
28. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to
A. News reports. B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.
29. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
30. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research
A. Sports news. B. Science articles.
C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
D
About 17 million blind and visually impaired(视力受损的) people live in China, according to a 2018 report. The nation does not have the same history of using guide dogs as exists in other countries.
The first guide dogs were used in 1916, and many countries have a rich culture of working with man’s best friend to help the visually impaired. The cost of specialist training to produce such a reliable animal can add up to tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of US dollars. Dogs also have physical limitations, for example being color blind, causing allergies or sadly having a limited lifespan.
This month, a team led by Zhongyu Li, at the University of Berkeley California, revealed a modern prototype(原型). The new four-legged model is designed to guide people with a lead, and is able to find the right way to avoid obstacles. Laser ranging systems recreate a virtual map of the robot’s surroundings and enable it to guide itself and the person through an environment with case, even in narrow spaces.
The type of coding needed for the robot to understand its relative position in space, and to account for dangers in a changeable environment, will not be easy or cheap to make it available to the public, especially in a population as large as China.
It may still be far-fetched to imagine robots walking through the busy streets. As AI improves, along with the performance of robots, the dream may be realizable. Coding can be directly copied and put into mass produced units, with hardware also becoming cheaper by the year. Robotic guide dogs of the future will need to calculate routes in real time, accounting for many factors such as traffic density(密度), weather conditions and pedestrian footfall. Fast interconnected 5G networks with low latency and widespread coverage will be vital for this.
The blind and visually impaired are a significant minority of the population and for many, the chance to lead an independent and normal life is often viewed as a stepping stone to greater contributions within China’s economy. Robotics can expand horizons for disabled people and allow them to feel more included in society.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How the first guide dogs came into being.
B. The necessity to train real-life guide dogs.
C. The disadvantages of using real-life guide dogs.
D. How guide dogs help the visually impaired.
33. What’s the function of the virtual map of the robot’s surroundings
A. To help the robot lead the way successfully.
B. To track the robot’s movement.
C. To make the robot’s service life longer.
D. To keep weather conditions informed.
34. What is important for the application of robotic guide dogs according to the text
A. Good road conditions. B. Fast 5G networks.
C. Full support from the blind. D. A virtual map of surroundings.
35. What can be inferred about robotic guide dogs from the text
A. They have yet to be mass-produced.
B. They will surely replace real-life guide dogs.
C. They are equipped with expensive hardware.
D. They stand for a stepping stone to vision recovery.

Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. 36 They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer.
“I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “ 37 I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.”
38 They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths. At certain times of the year, guided nature walks and interesting lectures on a variety of topics are offered to park guests.
Camping out does have its disadvantages, however. 39 Even after the weather clears up, there’s still lots of mud to deal with. The weather can be quite cold at night, and there are always many mosquitoes(蚊子).
Park rangers(护林员) recommend that visitors watch out for snakes, whose bites can be poisonous. They stress the fact that it is necessary that food be kept packed away, so that an unexpected bear doesn’t pay an unwelcome visit to some surprised guests. 40 “It might be nice to sit by a swimming pool and sip(小口抿) a drink,” says Tanya Rodriguez, a nature lover, “but nature is really so beautiful, and I’ve met such interesting people here. Nothing compares to a vacation like this!”
A. If it rains, there is not much to do.
B. Camping is not really my cup of tea.
C. But every once in a while I like to get back to nature.
D. Some of the visitors have no experience being in the country.
E. Yet, nature lovers continue to visit national parks year after year.
F. But there are countless others who prefer a different kind of holiday.
G. Visitors to national parks have a wide variety of activities to choose from.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the bell was about to ring, our teacher announced a special assignment for next Monday: to share our gratitude for someone instead of giving a daily report. Hearing this, anxiety crawled over my body as the last thing I would do was speaking in front of the entire class! I couldn’t help complaining to my best friend Jenny.
“You are the chief violinist in our school orchestra(管弦乐队), aren’t you ” she said. “So what’s the point of being afraid of speaking to our own classmates since you can handle acting in front of a large audience ”
Her point made sense, but being in a performance meant being part of a team. I shook my head. Besides, there were so many people I was grateful to, and choosing just one seemed difficult. Even if I could pick someone, I wouldn’t know how to say “thank you”. And even if I figured out what to say, I was sure I’d stumble(结巴地说) on my words when speaking aloud! Standing there, with everyone’s eyes on me, I would feel the spotlight was wholly on me, and there would be no place for me to hide! “Oh no!” I covered my face with my hands and said, “I can’t do it, just can’t!” Real friends, the ones who know you well, don’t just do exactly what you ask. Jenny, always supportive and helpful, wrote something on a piece of paper and gently removed my hands from my face. She had drawn a cute cat with the word “CALM” written below it.
“Nice meeting you; I am the ‘everything will be fine’ cat,” Jenny laughed and sounded exactly like a cat. Pretending to listen to the cat, she asked, “Well, kitty, you think my friend should come to my house tomorrow, so we can prepare our speeches together.” I laughed out loud and relaxed a lot. I have to say Jenny was there for me, always!
The next day, I went to Jenny’s house. She suggested I talk about my mom, helping me patiently organize my thoughts into reasonable and heartfelt sentences. After that, we too k turns to rehearse(排练) our speeches to polish the expressions. By the end of the day, I felt more prepared and confident for Monday’s work.
注意：
1.续写词数应为80左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Before the speech, however, I changed my mind and wrote “Jenny” on the blackboard.
