Japan is a nation that appreciates the virtues of silence and good manners. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world. According to lifestyle website Grapee. jp, slurping (发出啧啧声) when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It’s believed that taking air into your mouth can enhance the flavor of the noodles and help cool down the food. It’s also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression — “noodle harassment” — came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork last month. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person’s phone. Then the phone will play a sound to mask the slurping noise.
But is it really necessary? Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands. They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India’s culture, just like Japan’s slurping is part of its own.
“So, if you are eating noodles, please slurp as you like,” wrote a Japanese food blogger. “If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that, ignore them. They’re missing the point entirely.”
4. Which of the following is NOT the reason for slurping when eating noodles?
A. Getting noticed by others. B. Cooling the noodles down.
C. Making the noodles more tasty. D. Adding to the pleasure of eating noodles.
5. What does the underlined word “harassment” mean in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Anxiety. B. Annoyance. C. Politeness. D. Appreciation
6. How does the noise-canceling fork work?
A. The fork can remove the slurping noise when connected wirelessly.
B. The fork can be used as an electric toothbrush.
C. A smartphone reminds the user to stop slurping if a signal is sent to it.
D. A smartphone plays a sound to hide the noise when it receives a signal.
C
Government agencies and volunteer groups in many places are using sea creatures to protect coastal areas from storms and rising sea levels. The idea is that large groups of oysters (牡蛎) known as colonies, can help reduce the power of waves. Powerful waves can damage lands along the edge of ocean waters.
Oysters may play an important part in dealing with the problem. Oysters are central to a project that is taking place near Vaccaro’s rebuilt house. The project is being carried out by the Littore Society. It received $1 million from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The group has been building steel wire containers, filling them with rocks and whelk (海螺) shells an positioning them along the shoreline of Barnegat Bay.
Tiny baby oysters are attached to whelk shells and placed in the existing cages to further strengthen the shoreline. The shoreline in Vaccaro’s neighborhood has lost 46 meters of beach since 1995, the Littoral Society says.
The oysters appear to be doing their job. One recent day, a strong east wind blew across the bay. But between the oysters and the shoreline, the water was much calmer, and waves gently wen onto the shoreline instead of hitting it with force.
As an added benefit, the oysters help improve water quality in the bay. The Associated Press reports that a single oyster can filter (过滤) up to 190 liters of water a day.
A few kilometers south, a group called ReClam the Bay is building an oyster reef to protect the shoreline of Mordecai Island. People do not live on the island, but it protects the shoreline of Beach Haven, a town on Long Beach Island.
Volunteers fill bags with 16 kilograms of whelk shells, to which millions of baby oysters have been attached. Then volunteers move them out to the reef a few hundred yards into the ocean. They have placed 10, 000 bags of oysters and whelk shells there since 2015.
7. Where do the baby oysters grow?
A. On the sea rocks. B. In steel wire cages.
C. In shallow calm water. D. In the fishermen’s houses.
8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?
A. The sea life project works. B. The baby oysters grow well.
C. The beach stops missing. D. The sea pollution is dropping.
9. What do we know about ReClam the Bay?
A. It cooperates with the Littoral Society.
B. It offers baby oysters to the Littoral Society.
C. It has the same aim as the Littoral Society.
D. It has made more progress than the Littoral Society.
10. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Oyster Farming Has Great Benefits
B. Volunteer Ocean Protection Is in Action
C. Worldwide Beaches Are Disappearing Fast
D. Little Sea Creature Could Save Coastal Land

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? ____11____ Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person.____12____
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. ____13____ And teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ facial expressions, body movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (同感) and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. ____14____ In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things. ____15____ If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
A. Teachers can be replaced by robots.
B. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.
C. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work.
D. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information.
E. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
F. Robots can save time that teachers spend in teaching in classroom.
G. In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness.

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, washed and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met.
When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books.
As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. “I wish you a happy New Year,” cried Edward as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly.
Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country.” The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English.
But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”

【答案】
Edward realized that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. A wave of inexpressible warmth and gratitude came flooding when the man reached out his shivering hands for the shiny dollars. Taking a firm grip of them in one hand and holding Edward’s hand warmly, he stammered out words of thanks in his broken English. After wishing them a peaceful and happy New Year, Edward went back home. The moment he reached home, he couldn’t wait to share with his father his act of charity. Hearing that, his father gave him a thumb up.
“My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” He continued with satisfaction, “They are a reward for your kindness to people in need. You do deserve them.” Looking intently at what may be the best he had ever received, Edward felt an immense pride in himself, which flowed all over his body. Since then, these books given by his father have been serving as a constant reminder of the importance of lending a helping hand to others in trouble whenever he could.
