W:Yeah. They say the snack food machines will be removed from the school beginning next month. These machines will be replaced by those selling water, milk and fresh fruit.

M: So I can’t buy potato chips or cookies at school.

W:Sure not. You know the garbage that is produced attracts insects, which does harm to the environment.

W:Well, they are giving you the chance to eat healthier food. Also, you should lose a few pounds and this might help.

M: Well, I have been thinking of going on a diet. I may drink water instead of sweet drinks. But I need to eat some foods that I can’t find in the school lunch room.

W:You can bring them from home.

M: That’s a good idea. I couldn’t have thought of that.

W:Sure you could.

【题目】 The rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide, most of which have large windows, has led to a high demand for window washers. Though the job is well-paid, it is dangerous and accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based start-up Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous job may soon be done by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot, with humans supervising (监督) from the safety of the ground.

Much like humans, Ozmo, sitting on platforms hanging from the buildings, uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass. A 3D map of the building’s surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully deal with any obstacle it is likely to meet, as it moves up and down the buildings. The robot will self-correct and move around every obstacle that it might have met so as not to break a window.

Unlike present window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled (蒸馏的) water to do the job. Yaron Schwarcz, CEO of Skyline Robotics explains, “We are environmentally friendly.”

Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than its human counterparts. While it presently takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean windows of a 40-storey glass building, the robot will be able to do it in 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers, and only make their jobs safer by making them supervisors, who will be controlling the operation from the safety of the ground.

Whether Ozmo, which is still being tested, does as good a job as humans remains to be seen. If things go well, its creators have much bigger ambitions for Ozmo. Schwarcz told Forbes Magazine, “Window cleaning is just the tip of the iceberg. We plan to replace all tasks that are dangerous and dirty.”

【1】Why is Ozmo friendly to our environment?

A.It uses less soap than other robots.

B.It depends on solar energy.

C.It makes our ecosystem more balanced.

D.It consumes nothing made from chemicals.

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Like cleaning windows, a well-paid job is usually dangerous.

B.Without humans supervising, Ozmo could have performed better.

C.Ozmo can save 400 hours per building compared to a human cleaner.

D.Ozmo can’t be stopped by obstacles with its advanced system.

【3】What does the underlined part “the tip of the iceberg” mean?

A.A small part of a big plan.

B.As cool as the iceberg.

C.The most advanced technology.

D.The leading role in the modern world.

【4】What is the best title for the text？

A.Robots make a difference.

B.Meet Ozmo, the window cleaning robot.

C.Supervise Ozmo, human safe.

D.Intelligent Ozmo becomes known worldwide.

China and Western country may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals. But when it comes to pigs, we somehow reach an agreement that pigs are lazy, ugly, stupidly and shameless. Neither of these words describing pigs are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what pigs have some good qualities. And there’s probably no good time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which fell February 5 this year. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell between those who treat them well or those who don’t. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind-their intelligence, cuteness and patience.

【题目】 For a single woman, yards are a strange thing. You don’t know whether to buy a lawn mower(割草机)or hire someone to mow it. I did the latter, over many years.

There was one exception. In my early 30s，I lived in a cottage near my father, who had a tractor. He lived around the corner on an old country lane, now fully developed. But at the time, it was with sweet relief, having just returned from city life, that I drove his borrowed tractor down the lane in the late afternoon, mowed my land, and then drove it back in the evening light, gazing(注视)up at the stars as they came out.

Soon the routine became impossible with traffic in the developing area. I needed someone to do my yard work.

Vardman was a devoted young boy. He sang at the top of his lungs as he mowed. His work was a joy. But Vardman grew up. After his graduation from high school, which I attended, and his leaving for college, I was without.

So here I was with two African men who brought not only knowledge but a deep love of working the land. There was a peace about the work they did. The perfection was noticeable everywhere, with every border in place, the unnecessary brush cleared out. The rhythm in their work, the rhythm of their work—it was poetry to watch.

Later I moved to North Carolina. I found myself in another small house with a beautiful but wasted yard. A strange mountain man gave me a wonderful price and began what has become an exercise in grace, gratitude and being simple.

Over the few years I have lived here, he has slowly, patiently, lovingly turned a long-neglected place into a quiet beauty. Quiet, modest, sincere, he uses only natural products on the lawn and flower beds. After the growing season ends, he collects his final paycheck and disappears into the mountains. A quiet man is teaching me patience and how it brings beauty back.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The development of traffic in the city.

B.The tiredness of mowing down the lanes.

C.The poor living areas in the countryside.

D.The joy of returning home after mowing.

【2】How did the writer find Vardman?

A.He devoted himself to the job.

B.He was glad to be a mower forever.

C.He wasted the working time by singing.

D.He earned money for his college education.

【3】Why did the writer mention the poetry in the fifth paragraph?

A.To prove the good job of African mowers,

B.To show her love for African poems,

C.To praise the mowers through writing poems.

D.To describe the images of mowers in poems.

【4】What did the quiet man teach the writer?

A.Gratitude is a reward for kindness.

B.Money is endless for people to earn.

C.Simple life is worth more paycheck.

D.Beauty comes from working patiently.

【题目】—Do you know anything about Zhang Zhongjing?

—______ He has been honored as a master doctor since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
