Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍桿)? 1

However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it "selfie arm".

2 It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one. They say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. 3 They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has-people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just an art project and a model conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. 4 The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.

The "selfie arm" is made of fiberglass. 5 The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick Phenomenon(現(xiàn)象)directly and the increasing need for narcissism(自戀)and Internet agreement.

A.It is lightweight and easy-taking.

B.Thousands of "selfie arms" have been made.

C.It seems that they are together with their friends.

D.For better or worse, they have taken the world by storm.

E.This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-designed tool.

F.And better yet in the future, it'll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset.

G.These ideas give them a lot of happiness.

【題目】 Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo.

【題目】Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machines?

Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?

It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce(稀缺的) resources.

The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so ―yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect(忽略) their manufacturing sector(制造業(yè)) with negative consequences for their economies.

Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I amnot saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative(別的,可替代的) uses of their money.

In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary(革命的) that now we live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.

Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.

1Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to .

A.a lack of confidence in technologyB.a slow progress in technology

C.a conflict of public opinionsD.a waste of limited resources

2The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should .

A.take people's essential needs into considerationsB.make their programmes attractive to people

C.ensure that each child gets financial supportD.provide more affordable internet facilities

3What can we learn from the passage?

A.People should be encouraged to make more donations.B.Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.

C.Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.D.Economic policies should follow technological trends.

4What’s the best title of the passage?

A.The influences of ICTB.The trends of technology

C.The fascination with ICTD.The use of ICT

【題目】 Competition is good for businesses. In the world of positioning systems, however, competition is also a must. 1 Now, China is building its own positioning system. It’s called Beidou.

China is only the third country in the world to own a positioning system. Only the United States and Russia have already developed their GPS or Glonass.

2With it, the country no longer has to rely on foreign systems. It also shows the world that China has made much technological progress.

Work on the Beidou project began in 1994. However, the first two Beidou satellites were not sent into space until 2000. 3These satellites have formed a global network. They began operations at the end of 2018. To further improve the system, China will send ten more Beidou satellites into space. It plans to complete the system before 2020.

4It will provide a positioning accuracy of within ten centimeters for the Chinese military. The United States’ GPS only has an accuracy of around 30 centimeters.

The Beidou system offers services to ordinary users, too. In big cities like Shanghai, thousands of buses have been using the Beidou system. 5

Moreover, most smartphones today can already receive Beidou signals. A phone salesperson in Beijing jokes, “Many people are used to saying, ‘I am using GPS.’ In fact, however, their phones have been using Beidou.”

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從方框中選出五個句子填入文中空缺處,使短文內(nèi)容通順完整。

A.Since then, China has launched dozens of Beidou satellites.

B.It is not wise for a country to rely on foreign systems for positioning.

C.People waiting for a bus can easily find out when it will come.

D.The American GPS, Russia’s Glonass have dozens of satellites to provide information across the globe.

E.The completed system will be more powerful than any existing foreign systems.

F.Beidou improves China’s national safety.

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school.1But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?

In the Han Dynasty, when old-style private schools were opened, students used bamboo boxes to carry books to school.2. There were usually two or three layers(層)in the box. Kids put different things, like books, brushes, ink stones (硯)and paper in the boxes.3.For example, in The Legend of White Snake, Xu Shilin caries a bamboo box to the capital to take an exam. And in the movie The Chinese Ghost Story(倩女幽魂),the scholar Ning Caichen also carries a bamboo box.

Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (軍用帆布包)became popular.4Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.

A new style of schoolbags has been produced in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks5.

Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what schoolbags will be like in the future?

A.Everyone at that time owned such a bag.

B.You can see the bamboo box in many TV shows.

C.We can't go to school without our schoolbags.

D.People consider the bamboo box to be the earliest schoolbag.

E.They are the most common seen schoolbags now.

F.They are a big part of our lives.

G.Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags.
