Six dots. Six bumps(隆起物). Six bumps in different patterns, spreading out over the page. What are they? Numbers, letters, words. Who 1 this

code? None other than Louis Braille, a French

12-year-old, who was also blind. And his work changed the world of 2 and writing, forever.

Louis was from a small town called Coupvray, near Paris. Louis became blind by accident, when he was 3 years old. As a result, Louis needed a new 3 to learn. He stayed at his old school for two more years, but he couldn't learn everything just by listening. Things were looking up when Louis got a chance to 4 at the Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris, when he was 10. But even there, most of the teachers just 5 at the students. The library had 14 huge books with raised letters that were very 6 to read. Louis was impatient.

Then in 1821, a former soldier named Charles Barbier visited the school. Barbier shared his invention called "night writing", a code of 12 raised dots that let soldiers share top-secret 7 on the battlefield without even having to speak. 8 , the code was too hard for the soldiers, but not for 12-year-old Louis

Louis cut Barbier's 12 dots into 6, and finished the system by the time he was 15, then 9 the first-ever braille book in 1829. But did he 10 there? No way! In 1837, he added symbols for math and music. But 11 the public had doubts about it, blind students had to study braille on their own. Even at the Royal




Institution, where Louis taught after he graduated, braille wasn't taught until after his death. Braille began to 12 worldwide in 1868, when a group of British men, now known as the Royal National Institute for the Blind, took 13 the cause of promoting(推进)braille among the blind.

Now practically every country in the world uses braille. Braille books have double-sided pages, which saves a lot of space. Braille signs help blind people around in 14 places. And, most importantly, blind people can 15 independently.

Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a must for all visitors to the city, young and old. Tivoli is located just a few minutes' walk from City Hall, and with the Copenhagen Central Station as its nearest neighbor, it is very easy to get to.

Tivoli Gardens was founded in 1843 and has become a national treasure and an international attraction. Tivoli Gardens' secret is that there is something for everyone. The scenery is beautiful with unusual architecture, historic buildings and beautiful gardens. At night, thousands of colored lights create a fairy tale atmosphere that is completely unique.

> Rides

The rides are all designed to match Tivoli's architecture and gardens. Some rides will remind you of the good old days. Others will match the expectations of those thrill seekers, e. g. the Vertigo which will turn you upside down at 100 km/h and was voted Europe's Best Ride in 2014.


Tivoli's oldest and most popular ride, the wooden Roller Coaster from 1914, is one of the only seven roller coasters worldwide which have a brakeman on board every train.

In 2017, Tivoli got a new VR (virtual reality) experience in the Demon, where the rollercoaster passengers are brought on a journey through a Chinese universe with fire-spitting dragons and exploding fireworks.

> Music

The music program in Tivoli has exciting events to offer every year regardless of your age or preferences. Besides major events such as Friday Rock and Summer Classical, there's live music every single day. Tivoli's Summer Classical offers excellent classical music. They'll serve up everything from James Bond music to Mozart and operetta.

> Dining

When it comes to food, Tivoli is equally diverse. Lots of people will bring a picnic to the garden, but you can also choose from Tivoli's broad selection of restaurants. You'll find everything from traditional Danish cuisine to French bistro or Asian food.

Katherine Johnson thinks all of her achievements over the 98 years she's been alive are "ordinary". But to the rest of the world, they're anything but.




Johnson, a physicist, space scientist and mathematician, graduated from high school at 14 years old, attended college the very next year and was the first African-American woman to attend the graduate school at West Virginia University.

She fell in love with math and in college took every math course possible. In 1953, after years of being a teacher, she began working for NASA where she was nicknamed the "human computer". Johnson was able to calculate the trajectory(弹道)for many space missions, including for the space flight of Alan Shepard, the first American in space and the trajectory for the 1969 Apollo 11 flight to the moon.

In spite of her age, Johnson isn't slowing down anytime soon. "I like to learn," she says. "That's an art and a science. I'm always interested in learning something new." As a young girl, she'd stop by the library on her way home in the evening and would pick up a book. "I finally persuaded them to let me look at two books," she recalls. "I could have read more than that in one night if they had let me."

Johnson's amazing life served as the basis for a nonfiction book titled Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race.

Johnson, who was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2015, thinks she was able to succeed because she always loved what she did. It is one piece of advice she has for young girls today. "Find out what your dream is," she says, "and work at it because if you like what you're doing, you will do well." Johnson also taught her daughters a few life lessons. "Don't accept failure," says Joylette Goble, who says she has always admired her mother. "If there is a job to be done, you can do it and do it until you finish." She adds, "Be aware of people and help them when you can." Johnson's another daughter, Katherine Goble Moore, says her mother has always been her role model. "I will always be grateful to her," she says.

(1)What does the underlined sentence in Para. 1 mean? A.Most people in the world are ordinary.

B.Johnson's achievements are extraordinary. C.Most people can achieve anything they desire. D.Johnson is a role model to the rest of the world. (2)What do we know about Katherine Johnson? A.She is very skillful at calculating. B.She has written a nonfiction book.

C.She was the first female astronaut to take a space flight.

D.She was the first African-American woman to go to university. (3)According to Johnson, what has contributed to her success?

A.Enthusiasm for what she does. B.Kindness to the people around her. C.Determination to fight against failure. D.Wide reading of art and science books. 15




C

Did you know that you have been involved in the largest research study in the United States but you never agreed to join in it? That's because since 1996, youand basically everyone you knowhave been eating genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods.

GM foods are made by forcing a piece of DNA from a totally different species into the DNA of a plant or animal. This method creates a whole new species of plant that would have never existed in nature. Most soybeans, corn and cotton are genetically modified. Products such as oil and sugar are created from these crops and added to processed foods. This explains why nearly 80 percent of processed and most fast foods contain genetically modified organisms(GMOs).

The question is, are GMOs safe for us and the environment? Actually, the answers are not clear. There are no long-term studies showing that GMOs are safe for humans and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not do its own safety testing of GMOs. Instead, the biotech companies that are trying to make money do their own safety testing, which the FDA only reviews. However, there are animal studies with negative findings, including damage in some body parts and immune system changes. It is clear we need more research in this area.

The environment is another problem. What are the results when a genetically modified plant crossbreeds with other plants? Do we really want to change the face of plant life with unknown results for the benefit of a few large companies?

The bottom line is that we have a product in our food supply with unknown health and environmental problems. At the very least, we should have these foods labeled(贴标签). However, try as we might, we cannot make that happen in the U. S. Even though 9 out of 10 people want them labeled, the biotech companies and food producers do not. If their products are beneficial and safe, why not label them? Why not be proud of your products? Over 60 countries such as China label GMOs and some countries ban them. Why can't we have transparency in our food supply?

Washington's Initiative 522, a bill suggesting labeling products with GMOs, will help us get the transparency we desire. But companies such as Monsanto, Dupont Pioneer will pay millions to create misleading and incorrect ads insisting that labeling will cost money, hurt farmers, and isn't necessary because GMOs are safe. The biggest fear of these companies is that once GMOs are labeled, we won't want to eat them anymore.

I don't know about you, but I think if Washington's Initiative 522 passes and genetically modified foods are labeled, it might change the face of American agriculture forever.

(1)What do we know about GM foods from Para. 1 and 2? A.They are the source of most fast foods.

B.They are consumed by almost everyone in the world. C.They come from the longest research study in the US

D.They are produced by changing the DNA of a plant or animal. (2)What is the author's attitude towards the safety of GMOs?




A.Objective. B.Doubtful. C.Uninterested. D.Positive.

(3)In Para. 5, the underlined words "have transparency in" probably mean . A.know about B.cut off C.depend on D.build up (4)Why does the author write this passage? A.To call for more research on GM foods. B.To persuade companies to label GM foods. C.To gain support for Washington's Initiative 522. D.To demand FDA to develop a food testing system.

Where is the future going?

Our work habits have changed a lot over the past thirty years. While our parents may have expected to stay in one job, with one company, for their whole life, we are faced with the possibility of changing jobs and even careers several times. Our understanding of education, work and society is different from that of earlier generations. 1 Many of today's jobs will either disappear or change in the next ten years or so.

People in the future will still need food, of course, but the way we produce food will not be the same. 2 The good news for small farmers is that there will also be opportunities for new kinds of farming, for example farms that grow organic food and environmentally friendly food.

What about people who work with computers? Well, things will change for them, too. More advanced computer programs and new technologies will remove the need for computer operators who perform simple actions. Modern search engines can do many of the things that yesterday's computer operators did. Word processing and simple information handling can be done automatically(自动地). 3

A rapidly changing job market also creates new challenges for students, teachers and parents. 4 And it is becoming more difficult for parents to understand the kind of world their children are entering. Schools and teachers are also facing difficulties as they try to adapt to the new needs of their student, and the students themselves have to try to deal with all the changes and many questions.

5 . There are no easy answers, but we can try to turn challenges into opportunities. As the job market changes, new areas of growth appear. If we become good learners, and if we work together with our parents, friends and teachers, we can find ways to create a future where there is room for all of us to do what we are good at and enjoy.

A.What life will he like in the future is difficult to predict. B.Not only the way we work and view the job has changed.

C.It is hard to imagine where all these advanced technologies will lead us. D.For people with these skills, there will be new jobs as database managers.

E.Where is the future going and what can we do to find a place for ourselves in it?




F.Small farms that use old methods will be replaced by large farms with high efficiency.

G.The difference in values, skillseducation and desires between two generations

is growing.

When we make a big move that requires us to get used to a new environment, we can go through a roller coaster of feelings. When the new environment is a different country, that roller coaster has a more specific name: culture shock.

Culture shock starts with the excitement of being in a new country. You'll find everything in the new place amazing and you are more likely to recognize cultural similarities and be confused by the differences. But when the "honeymoon stage" phases out, reality sets in. You'll get lost. You'll get mad at the "disorganization" of things. You'll become very busy with all the things you have to get used to. You will feel angry or annoyed. Next comes the gradual understanding stage. You have achieved a balance of feelings. Instead of feeling angry, you understand the differences. You'll start to have a more positive outlook, interest in learning more about your new environment, and make more effort to fit in. Reaching a high level of comfort in your new place is the final stage of culture shock. The order of things makes sense, you can talk to strangers with ease, and you understand small cultural differences. Your everyday life is more natural. Sure, you still miss your friends and family, but your new friends and activities have become part of your daily life.

It is not easy to overcome culture shock. But there are some tips to help. Keep an open mind. Do not automatically recognize something that is different as "wrong" or negative.

Get out of your comfort zone and make friends. Get to know your classmates by attending as many social events as you can. This helps with getting used to a new environment, especially in the beginning.

• When you come across things you do not like, write them down and then ask yourself: can I change them? If not, then you can find a way of living with them.

Do not let the culture shock lock you in a state of loneliness, boredom, frustration and negative feelings. Instead, choose to accept change, laugh at your mistakes, and make new friends. You will find yourself learning and enjoying your new life.

(1)How will you probably feel on your arrival in a new country?(不多于5个词) (2)How many stages will you go through to get used to a new environment?(不多2个词)

(3)What will your life be like at the final stage? (不多于3个词)
