【题目】If he’d survived his sudden illness in 1990, Jim Henson might be turning 79 years old on September 24, 2015. He would probably still be at work. We can only guess where his imagination would have taken him — and us — in the 25 years we missed. There’s no doubt that he would have broken new ground, for Henson was a neverstopping innovator (创新者).

His long career began far back in 1955, when he created Sam and Friends for a Washington D.C. television station. The programmes were just five minutes long and scheduled in the noman’sland between afternoon and evening programming. Yet the show won an Emmy for best local entertainment programme in 1958.

When it ended in 1961, Henson struggled to find work. He could only get brief appearances on other programmes like The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live. Only in 1976 did a British producer finally give Henson the green light to start a fullscale television show. The Muppet Show was produced and broadcast in Great Britain before finally arriving on prime time (黄金时间) US television. The network continued to identify it as a children’s programme, though the programme won a wide following of adult viewers.

One reason for its appeal to grownups was the obvious skill in catching the imagination. Henson’s talent was so great that it’s difficult to think of Kermit or Miss Piggy as nothing more than piles of cloth when they aren’t being operated. But Henson himself never forgot how much work went into creating his characters.

Way back in his early days, Henson created Kermit the Frog. His body was made from a green coat his mother had thrown away and his eyes were two halves of a pingpong ball. Over the years, his shape became more expressive. “Kermit is the character through whose eyes the audience is viewing the show. He’s a nice guy,” Henson said.

1Which of the following programmes marked the start of Jim Henson’s career?

A. The Tonight Show. B. Sam and Friends.

C. Saturday Night Live. D. The Muppet Show.

2It can be inferred from the passage that Miss Piggy was ________.

A. a character Jim Henson created

B. Jim Henson’s close friend

C. a television programme

D. Kermit’s girlfriend

3From the passage, we can infer that ________.

A. it was easy for Jim to create his characters

B. Jim Henson died of illness at the age of 54

C. the Muppet Show was broadcast in the US first

D. the programme Sam and Friends was not popular locally

【题目】I was interested in reading a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionarycombining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building.

1 In the afternoon, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (拥抱). There are trips out and birthday parties too.

2The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.

3There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the sameincreasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. 4

That’s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world. 5 Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example.

Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.

A.The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned.

B.There are examples of successful attempts all over the world.

C.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young.

D.However, there are some similarities between the old and the young

E.The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities.

F.No previous experience can we use to communicate between them.

G.It’s a major problem in many societies.

【题目】What I learned watching dentist at work

I would like to be a dentist in the future. 1 The patient, tender dentist comforted me, a 7-year-old girl at the time, and persuaded me to stop crying and to accept my treatment.

2 Recently, our teacher gave us the homework of experiencing a kind of job on the weekend. I chose without hesitation to live a day as a dentist at my friend’s older brother’s workplace.

I got to Dr Tan’s clinic at 7:45 am, 15 minutes before office hours began on Saturday. Dr Tan, who has been a dentist for five years, sat in his consulting room with a mask on his face and waited for his patients. I didn’t really understand his diagnoses or treatments, but I could see that Dr Tan was a responsible doctor. He explained conditions and therapies (治疗方案) to patients at length to remove their doubts. He paused operations to let patients rest if the treatment was taking too much time. 3 Dr Tan worked for almost the whole morning without a break. He only made a phone call to his wife to remind her to have an antenatal (产前) examination. Yes, he will be a father in five months, but he still cannot keep his wife company at the weekend. 4 They try to ease others’ pain anytime and anywhere, despite the cost to their own time and life.

As the last patient said goodbye to Dr Tan in the afternoon, my visit came to an end. I now feel that I understand more about doctors. 5

A. My dream has finally come true.

B. They are the heroes I admire most.

C. Doctors are ordinary people, yet they are also angels.

D. It helps me to reduce stress, find friends and learn new skills.

E. I thought it was a dream that was almost impossible to fulfill

F. That’s all because of a dentist I came across during my childhood.

G. He also gave a doctor’s advice to his patients carefully before they went out the door.

【题目】 You're probably used to the regular upgrades in our cell-phone networks. There was 2G, which came along in 199l, replaced with 3G in 2001, followed by 4G in 2009. Now we're hearing about the coming of 5G.

But 5G is a much bigger leap than before. 5G, of course, is much faster than 4G in the real world and a 5G phone in a 5G city will enjoy Internet speeds between 9 and 20 times as fast. The arrival of 5G also means enormous leaps forward in capacityso much that every cell-phone plan will offer cheap, truly unlimited Internet access. “The consequences of that are huge,” says Sherif Hanna, Qualcomm's director of 5G marketing. For example, apps will no longer degrade (降低) your video quality or postpone downloading when you're out of Wi-Fi range. In fact, you'll probably prefer to do your downloads when you're on cellular (使用流量) because 5G will be much faster than whatever service you've got at home or work.

“However, not everyone is excited by the 5G development. The new standard gets its speed partly by using existing transmission(传输) frequencies more efficiently and partly by using the millimeter wave range. That's a big, juicy line of radio frequencies that are currently underused because millimeter wave is really hard to use,” Hanna says.

These frequencies are much higher than anything we've used for the cellular, which means they can offer unbelievable speedbut at the cost of range. Millimeter wave cellular towers have to be about 500 feet apart. Cell carriers not only will have to upgrade all their cell transceivers (called small cells) but will install(安装) a lot more of them as well.

That's why the millimeter wave flavor of 5G, the superfast coverage, will be available only in densely populated cities such as New York and San Francisco. In suburban and rural areas, 5G will bring a speedup of “only” nine times faster.

1What advantages does 5G have over previous networks?

A.5G is much faster and more convenient.

B.5G allows users to download more videos.

C.5G can provide better service and news at home.

D.5G cell-phone plans are expensive but more accessible.

2Hanna's words in paragraph 3 reflect .

A.popularity of the coming of 5G

B.easy access to the 5G development

C.concern about the 5G development

D.excitement about the 5G development

3What can we learn about 5G according to the text?

A.It requires more cellular towers.

B.It won't be available in rural areas.

C.It won't show speed improvements in suburbs.

D.It makes some populated cities even more crowded.

4Where is the text most likely from?

A.A tour brochure.B.A science newspaper.

C.A medical magazine.D.An experimental textbook.

【题目】Phillip Island is a small island and nature reserve off the coast of South Australia, about 140 km from Melbourne. On the island you can see koalas, kangaroos and the main attraction, the Penguin Parade(归巢)on Summerland Beach.

As dusk was approaching, we made our way down to the beach, as did everyone else. On the beach was a stone grandstand, rather cold on the behind, so bring a coat or blanket to sit on. As it got darker, people talked less, keeping an eye out on the beach to see the arrival of that first penguin.

Suddenly there was movement at the edge of the surf and all heads turned as one. There, standing by the edge of the water was the smallest penguin we had ever seen. He looked left, then right, as if he was considering crossing a busy road and then he ran quickly across to the sand dunes and the penguin holes.

He must have been the scout(侦查员), because after him, there came groups of penguins, some consisted of two or three penguins, and some had about ten or fifteen, but they all made the same mad dash across the sand into the holes, as if they couldn't get there fast enough. The groups started to lessen and finally no more penguins emerged from the sea.

We sat on the grandstand for a while, not talking, just feeling awed(敬畏的) at what we'd just seen. Neither of us had ever seen penguins in the wild before, only in zoos and it was an amazing feeling.

You could see the penguins here every evening and morning, but they weren't in cages or in small pools. The sea was their playground and it is a sight we would definitely recommend to anyone.

You weren't allowed to take flash photographs as it scared them. After the penguins had gone to their holes, you could walk along boardwalks and see them there. That's got to be worth a look.

1What does the text mainly talk about?

A. The main attraction on Phillip Island.

B. The Penguin Parade on Summerland Beach.

C. The beautiful scenery on Phillip Island.

D. How to protect the penguins on Phillip Island.

2Which of the following shows the right order of the Penguin Parade?

a. The smallest penguin stands in front of the parade and looks around.

b. Groups of penguins go after the smallest penguin and dash into the holes.

c. The smallest penguin runs quickly to the holes.

d. The penguins appear as a whole.

e. There are no more penguins on the sea.

A. d a c b e B. a b c d e

C. a c d b e D. d a b c e

3The text is intended for ___________.

A. teachers B. Parents

C. kids D. travelers

4Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The best time to see penguins is at noon.

B. You could take photos at any time.

C. You could see penguins at dawn.

D. You could play with the penguins.
