He started collecting things from NBA stars in high school in California. And in his college (大学) years in Beijing, he started collecting Chinese sports things. 57 “At that time, I had many sports collections, and I wanted to show them at the hotel,” said Xie. To his surprise, visitors liked seeing them, so he decided to build a museum.58 He then had things like sports shirts from China’s women’s volleyball team and the torch (火炬) of the Beijing 2008 Olympics. “These collections are important in teaching people about the history of sports in China,” said Xie. 59 But he still kept them in his museum for everyone to see for free.These years, Xie often takes his collections to schools to teach children about the history of sports in China. 60“Museums are a good place for people to learn,” said Xie. “I hope young students will learn from these sports collections and the stories behind them in my museum.”A.After finishing college, Xie opened a hotel in Hainan.B.Xie started to look for more Chinese sports collections.C.He loved all kinds of sports games when he was young.D.So he decided to give away all his over 2,000 collections.E.Here, he built a sports museum and did a lot for China’s sports work.F.He even (甚至) built a swimming pool and a basketball court next to the museum for students to use for free.A boat owner called a painter to paint his boat.

After finishing, the painter got his money.The next day, the boat owner came to the painter and gave him much more money. The painter was surprised. The owner said, “This is not for your job. It’s for having repaired the hole.”The owner said, “Let me tell you what happened. After I asked you to paint, I forgot to talk about the hole. When the paint dried, my kids took it for fishing. They didn’t know the hole. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was pretty desperate (绝望的). Imagine my surprise and joy when I saw them returning safely. Then I was surprised to find that you had repaired that hole, even though I hadn’t asked you to do it. You saved my children’s lives!” The painter found that no matter how small his job is, it might be very important to someone.根据短文内容,判断句子的正 (T)、误 (F)。61.The painter repaired the hole for money.62.The painter was very excited when the owner gave him more money.63.The owner’s children might like fishing.64.The owner often took his children to the sea.65.The painter really saved the owner’s children’s lives.Future roads with 5GIn sci-fi movies, you might see cars that can drive by themselves – you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. With 5G, cars like this may soon turn into reality.Finland’s “robot buses” are a good example. Telecoms (电信) company Nokia has installed (安装) 5G transmitters (信号发射器) in 15 lampposts (路灯柱) along a 1-km road. These transmitters are able to control (控制) the buses, making them driverless, according to Raconteur Media.There are also 5G roads. These roads would also have many 5G transmitters. They can provide smart services, such as telling you where the nearest gas station (加油站) is.These roads could also be used to control traffic. “Transport bodies will be able to manage a road network (网络) in real time, controlling traffic lights, traffic flow (车流) through computer programs,” said Guy Matthews, director at CGI UK, a tech consultancy company.Public transportation can also benefit (受益) from 5G and smart tech. In the South Korean city of Seoul, a smart management system has been set up in one of the city’s subway stations. This system has many advanced features (功能), including a 3D map, sensors (传感器) and an advanced camera system that make the station more efficient and safe, according to Arirang News.And of course, there are driverless cars. These cars can send signals (信号) to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors. 5G will allow these cars to drive more safely (安全地) because they can communicate with each other, as well as with traffic lights and road sensors.66.What does the underlined phrase “reality” mean A.幻想 B.科幻 C.现实 D.小说67.________ can control the buses.A.5G transmitters B.LamppostsC.Gas station D.Sensors68.5G roads can be used to________.A.provide smart servicesB.tell people where the nearest gas station isC.control trafficD.All of the above.69.Which of the following is true according to the passage A.5G is not smart sometimes.B.5G can improve traffic safety.C.5G cannot be used in public transportation.D.Driverless cars cannot communicate with each other.70.What’s the passage mainly about A.How to control traffic.B.The invention process of 5G.C.Application of 5G in transportation.D.The disadvantages of 5G.Do what you wantI didn’t just want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.Deep, deep down ask yourself: “Who do you want to be ” Not what, but who. I’m talking about figuring it out for yourself: “What makes you happy ”You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be liked and avoid trouble We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that it couldn’t be done. They said: “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was convinced I could do it.Then I got my big break in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.In that movie, the director said: “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said: “I’ll be back …” One of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent. It just shows you that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have attempted, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your vision. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.71.The author thinks that we should________.A.become bodybuilding championsB.let everyone like ourselvesC.avoid troubleD.do what makes us happy72.The underlined word “break” means________.A.建立 B.无视 C.打破 D.制定73.What does the author’s story tell us A.We should give up on things that seem impossible to do.B.We should trust ourselves and break rules.C.The author didn’t trust the director.D.The author couldn’t act.74.“I’ll be back …” is the famous lines in the movie________.A.Conan the Barbarian B.The TerminatorC.Hercules in New York D.True Lies75.What does the passage mainly tell us A.Trust ourselves and do what we want.B.Never give up studying.C.The author likes movies very much.D.The author is one of the best actors in the US.Can talent shows save music Most people don’t know the name of the champion of Hunan TV’s 2003 Super Boy, which is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show. In the last 10 years, music talent shows have become one of the most celebrated forms of TV entertainment in China.Talent shows like The Voice of China, The X Factor, Chinese Idol, and Super Boy are bombarding TV audiences.Apart from providing entertainment, these shows also reflect the country’s cultural and societal transformation as it strides toward modernity. But despite their commercial success, experts are skeptical as to the potential of TV music talent shows to boost the country’s struggling music industry.Transformed cultureZheng Xin, a professor at the School of Journalism & Communication at Nanjing University, says a grassroots-oriented rather than elite-based culture is emerging in China. While individuality and personal opinions are now tolerated and celebrated, audiences still yearn for a collective recognition of their own identity.“The popularity of music talent shows is inevitable in an era in which audiences seek out ‘idols’ with a similar social background to their own,” says Zheng.Luo Gang, a professor in Chinese literature at East China Normal University, agrees.“When participants who belong to the same class as them take the spotlight and succeed, it resonates with mass audiences.”Luo adds that the new generation is changing its attitude toward showing off talents, which is also fueling the phenomenon. Chinese tend to be shy and are reluctant to demonstrate their talents due to a traditional value of humbleness. But recent decades have witnessed an increasing willingness among young Chinese to show off their talents, highlight their individuality and be unique.Wu Mochou, for example, from 2012’s The Voice of China expressed strong willingness to show off her talent on stage.“We are entering an era in which the demonstration of talents can be consumed like a product,” says Luo.Troubled industryAccording to the Chongqing Economic Times, more than 22 music talent shows are scheduled on various TV stations across the country this summer. Beijing Youth Daily reported recently that The Voice of China, broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV, has generated more than 100 million yuan in net profits since the show completed airing last year, mostly through concerts and commercials.But Shen Lihui, president of Modern Sky, a record company, doesn’t think the booming business of music talent shows is a cure for the music industry, which has long been haunted by a lack of innovation and unequal profit distribution.“Music is nothing more than a platform, or a tool, for entertainment,” says Shen. “These shows are not helping to fundamentally tackle the problems in China’s music industry.”Wang Lei, a veteran music producer and critic, warns of the risks entailed in TV music talent shows.“No matter what form they take, talent shows are just shows at the end of the day,” Wang told Beijing Daily recently. “The monopoly of TV stations in signing and marketing artists is suffocating the industry.”Song Ke, a renowned music producer, acknowledges these problems but also believes that music talent shows are pushing the industry in a new direction. While record companies do not have the financial resources to promote new artists, TV music talent shows have become an alternative for discovering new talents.76.________is considered China’s first commercialized TV music talent show.A.The Voice of China B.The X FactorC.Chinese Idol D.2003 Super Boy77.According to Zheng Xin, ________ is emerging in China.A.grassroots-oriented culture B.elite-based cultureC.traditional culture D.music industry78.Why are music talent shows popular A.Because ‘idols’ in the shows are talented.B.Because ‘idols’ in the shows are as rich as the public.C.Because ‘idols’ in the shows resonate with the public.D.Because ‘idols’ in the shows are reluctant to demonstrate their talents.79.The underlined word “reluctant” means________.A.乐意的 B.不情愿的 C.开心的 D.传统的80.What’s the passage mainly about A.The author’s opinion on music talent shows.B.Some opinions on films.C.Some opinions on music talent shows.D.The advantages of music talent shows.A faster generationHave you heard of 5G It is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. These new networks are just around the corner.China just issued commercial licenses for 5G on June 6. This means that China’s telecom companies will soon be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G 5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less – this is almost real-time.This big change will not only make our mobile internet faster. It will also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.5G + entertainment5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.5G + transportation5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors. 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.5G + smart homes5G also makes the Internet of Things possible. IoT is a large network that connects everything to the internet. Smart homes are part of it.For example, your toaster could automatically start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.81.What does the underlined phrase “around the corner” mean A.在不远处 B.陨落 C.即将诞生 D.重生82.China issued commercial licenses for 5G on________.A.May B.June C.July D.August83.________was mainly used to give us data and the internet.A.1G B.2G C.3G D.4G84.Which of the following is true according to the passage A.Each mobile network generation is slower than the one before it.B.4G can send and receive data in real-time.C.5G can be applied in various fields of life.D.Self-driving cars are the safest.85.What’s the passage mainly about A.5G in our lives.B.The differences from 1G to 5G.C.Some new technologies.D.The disadvantages of 5G.Are you too shy Are you shy sometimes The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at me.”Do you feel the same as Liu Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.

Now, the exercise is so popular that not only do many people post photos of themselves doing it on social media, there was even a Plank World Cup, which was held for the first time in Beijing last month.The plank, also known as the front hold or hover, is a core strength exercise that involves suspending the body in a horizontal position with one’s forearms and toes. Its popularity in China can be partially attributed to real estate tycoon Pan Shiyi, according to Beijing Youth Daily. Last November, he posted a photo on Weibo, in which he performed the move with former US ambassador to China Gary Locke.The celebrity effect may have started the plank wave, but its popularity lies more in the exercise’s simplicity and benefits. Without any special equipment, it can be done anytime, anywhere. Plus, it’s the most effective and efficient way to exercise the abdominal muscles (abs).While performing the exercise, all of your abs, including the *transverse, *oblique and upper abs, must work together to stabilize and support your whole body. It also exercises what is known as your “core” muscles, including the hips and the upper back muscles that protect your spine, which gives you more stability and a better balance. Other muscle groups, including the gluteus, shoulders, lats, arms, and legs, are toned and tightened as well.A new record for the plank exercise was set at last month’s competition by US fitness enthusiast and retired marine soldier George Hood. His time was four hours and one minute.How long can you hold the position Of course, the time isn’t all that counts. But, why not take a few minutes every day to work toward a better and healthier body 91.There was a Plank World Cup in Beijing________.A.last year B.last month C.last week D.last November92.The plank is an exercise that suspends the body in a horizontal position with one’s________.A.legs and toes B.back C.forearms and toes D.hands and toes93.What does the underlined word “simplicity” mean A.困难 B.昂贵 C.特殊 D.简单94.According to the author, the plank can exercise our________.A.fingers B.muscles C.eyes D.toes95.What’s the passage mainly about A.The plank—a good way to exercise.B.The most popular sport in China.C.The time limits of the plank.D.How to exercise muscles.Time for familyOne of my most memorable (难忘的) vacations took place on a farm.When I was a boy, my parents and I traveled from New York City to the countryside for a weeklong taste of rural life. We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, joining in the daily routines (日常事务) and eating meals with the farmer and his family.We got up early to see the cows as they were milked. I even tried my hand at milking one, then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward. Later, while my parents busied themselves with farm chores, I helped feed the other animals, then played with the farmer’s kids.Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip and of experiencing a lifestyle different from my own. It made me realize the value of a vacation, of seeing new things, meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members.To this day I still consider that family trip when I plan my approach to taking time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we should be saving our money, and time for.For my family, our vacations start when we begin planning the trips. We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time. Among the things we discuss: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too. While I prefer to visit historical sites and museums, they love to fish and swim. So I build in some relaxation time so that the vacation works for everyone.Each year, setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us. A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep, silly, meaningful. There’s no pressure from the usual everyday tasks.This is the one week a year when I don’t care whether my kids cleaned their room or did the dishes. What matters that week is that everyone is having a great time.96.The author’s family stayed in a________ on a farm for a weeklong taste of rural life.A.greenhouse B.hotelC.yard D.guesthouse97.What does the author do A.He is a teacher.
