Ⅰ.阅读理解
Most people will praise those technological gadgets that they use in their daily life.Technology is developing at a very fast rate，and what most people did not even think could be real a few years ago is now becoming a reality.Cell phones，which act more like computers，have now taken the world by storm.A lot of people cannot imagine what life will be like if they don’t have the Internet，email and chat features on their phones at their disposal.The simplest of things，such as TV，movies and even video games，have also evolved，and each of them offers consumers a wide array of choices and new possibilities.
Although many will use and publicize modern technology for many of its achievements and advancements，what many don’t realize is that it has affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.Advancements in technology have also greatly affected certain sectors of the industry and have even forced certain businesses to shut down for good because there is no more demand for that type of work.
Newspaper companies，for example，have been hit very hard by the advancements in technology.Big newspapers and local agencies have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet.Businesses and companies now rely heavily on digital printing methods for work brochures，magazines，and other advertisement paraphernalia(用品)they need，which has put traditional lithographic printing(平板印刷)in a tough dilemma.Music does not have to be purchased at a music store anymore because MP3 files are readily available on the Internet as well，thus causing big music store chains to shut their doors for good.The movie industry has also been hit hard because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite movies online.
Technology has its benefits，but when you take a look at how it has affected society in general and how people interact with one another，you will quickly see that it has a negative impact.Modern technology has allowed people to communicate with anyone they want at any given time.Although this may sound like a good thing，the fact remains that people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to.This has created a barrier in facetoface communication amongst people because they no longer have to hold a meeting in an office or they no longer have to call up a friend or family members to wish them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.And they can even work at home.
As a result，people are becoming lazier，and they don’t feel the terrible need to step outside of their home to find entertainment and fun in things that used to be fun，such as participating in an exciting game of basketball with friends，meeting a friend at a coffee shop，etc.Technology is a privilege to have but interaction with other people is crucial.And people should be responsible for their actions.They should not let technology rule their lives，and become desensitized(不敏感)to society in the end.
1．What would be the result of the advancements in technology?
A．Newspapers become more popular than before.
B．People can do whatever they want to do on the Internet.
C．Some people may be in danger of losing their jobs.
D．The relationship among people becomes much closer.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Big newspapers and local agencies have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or shut down altogether...”可以推知，科技的进步也会造成一些人员失业。
2．From the underlined part in Paragraph 3，we can know that
.
A．people have a preference for lithographic printing
B．digital printing is as popular as lithographic printing
C．traditional printing may be in danger of disappearing
D．printing skills have been improved a lot in recent years
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据划线部分所在句“Businesses and companies now rely heavily on digital printing methods for...”可以推知，传统的印刷业可能面临着消失的威胁。
3．In the passage，the author implies that
.
A．facetoface communication is a waste of time
B．it’s unnecessary to hold a meeting in an office
C．technology will rule humans in the near future
D．people should make use of technology reasonably
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Technology is a privilege to have but...，and become desensitized(不敏感) to society in the end.”可以推知，作者希望人们能够合理地利用科技给我们带来的种种便利，但是不能因此而忽略了人与人之间面对面的交流。
4．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Benefits of Modern Technology
B．The Ill Effects of Modern Technology
C．The Advantages of Learning on the Internet
D．The Decrease of Facetoface Communication
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。作者在文中主要论述了科技带动社会进步的同时，也给人们的生活和各个行业带来了种种负面影响。

How to save money during your studies
One of the biggest factors about studying at university is that you might be away from your parents for the first time.
5
If you’re worried about that，the following tips can tell you how to save your money.
Food and drink
6
Food in particular has become more expensive but it’s possible to eat well on the cheap.
Use student discounts
In just about every city with a university，shops and bars near campus have some special discounts just for students.You can take advantage of offers on food from the Student Union shop.

8
When you get into university，it can be tempting(吸引人的)to buy things you don’t need.However，restraint(控制)is important—buy the essentials first like food，and then work out what，if anything，you have left to spend.If you have money left over before you go home for Christmas，well done you!
Find a parttime job

So it may be a good idea to find a parttime job，even if it’s just for a few hours a week.Having a little extra income during each term will mean you can afford to live a little better and there are good student job search sites to help you.
Whatever university you find yourself in，being frugal(节俭的)is important.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
What is this week’s most important economic news？I think it is Beijing’s decision to ban smoking in schools across China—all the way from kindergarten through middle school.
Why is this economic news？Well，consider these numbers.China is said to have about 300 million smokers—nearly the entire population of the United States and making up one quarter of the global smokers.We bring up the U．S.for comparison because the Surgeon General coincidentally released a report last month that really caught our eye.Smoking，the report says，costs us Americans
289 billion a year—about four times as much as the U．S.federal budget for education combined.Twenty million Americans have died in the last 50 years as a result of smoking—more than the death numbers from all of our wars put together，of course.This year，nearly 500,000 Americans will die because of smoking.These numbers are just shocking.And in China，the numbers are much，much worse.
Well，the good news is that things are actually getting better—and the ban in China is another big step forward.According to the World Health Organization，from 2010,109 countries had national bans on smoking in hospitals；42 on smoking in restaurants and 35 on smoking in bars.Every year new countries join this list.India banned smoking in public places in 2008...so did France the following year.The result is a substantial decline in smoking rates.In 1980,41 percent of men around the world were smokers.In 2017，the number dropped to 31 percent.
At least some of the credit has to go to Michael Bloomberg，the former Mayor of New York.Remember when he first proposed a smoking ban in New York，back in 2002？Many people didn’t think his idea practical.But within a few years，dozens of major cities like Paris，Rome，London followed suit.Now China is moving in this direction.
The benefits in New York were seen almost immediately.In 2004，just one year after New York’s smoking ban，there were 3,800 fewer hospital admissions for heart attacks.New Yorkers saved
56 million on health care costs that year.In 1965,42 percent of all New York adults were tobacco users.Today，that number has dropped to just 18 percent.
1．What is the total number of the smokers in the world?
A．About 150 million.
B．About 300 million.
C．About 600 million.
D．About 1,200 million.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“China is said to have about 300 million smokers—nearly the entire population of the United States and making up one quarter of the global smokers.”可知，中国的烟民约为3亿，占全球烟民的四分之一，故D项正确。
2．The author supports his/her main points mainly by
.
A．statistics
B．stories
C．proverbs
D．assumptions
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据全文可知，作者主要是通过引用大量的统计数据来说明其主要观点的。
3．We can infer from the passage that
.
A．the writer used to smoke a lot as a student
B．from 2010,109 countries banned smoking in restaurants
C．Bloomberg had trouble banning smoking
D．nearly 500,000 Americans die every year
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句“Remember when he first proposed a smoking ban in New York，back in 2002？Many people didn’t think his idea practical.”可推知，当Bloomberg首次提出在纽约禁烟时，很多人认为那不现实，可以判断他的禁烟之路走得不太平坦。故C项正确。
4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Smoking rates in New York have decreased.
B．The smoking ban benefited New Yorkers a lot.
C．New Yorkers saved more on health care costs.
D．Fewer were admitted to hospital for heart attacks.
答案 B
解析 段落大意题。根据最后一段的主题句“The benefits in New York were seen almost immediately.”可知，本段主要讲禁烟给纽约人带来的好处。故B项正确。
B
We all have a fair idea about the common types of environmental issues.However，light pollution may be a new term to many of us.But，the fact is，artificial light does affect the natural light levels in the same way as other manmade sources.Similar to other pollution types，it affects mankind，other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution？It is an umbrella term for representing all forms of misused artificial light.In the broad sense，light pollution is defined as the unwanted change of natural light levels in the environment due to effects of manmade light sources.Human activities are directly or indirectly responsible for this form of pollution.
The obvious cause of light pollution is to use external lighting products inappropriately.It can be apartment light，office lighting，car headlights，station lights，streetlights and many more.With reference to these many contributing sources，it won’t be wrong to say that is an outcome of industrial civilization.
Light pollution is harmful to both plants and animals.Upon studies，it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behavior of nocturnal animals.Needless to mention，bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt，wander and perform their regular activities.
Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases.Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm.It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells.Light pollution is nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on plants，animals and human health.Apart from this，the actual cost of misused light is estimated to be millions of dollars every year.After all，fossil fuels are used for producing maximum electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using artificial light fixtures are part of our modern lifestyle，simple steps will surely help in reducing light pollution.For example，while installing outdoor lighting，make sure that they are pointed downwards.Also，use only the required light fixtures for home and offices.
5．According to the passage，light pollution
.
A．is more serious than common pollution
B．only has effects on many plants and animals
C．is a kind of pollution newly put forward
D．includes natural light pollution
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的最后一句可知，光污染不仅仅影响人类，而且还影响其他生物，故B项不正确。根据文章第一段第二句话可知，“光污染”对人们来说可能是一个新的术语，因此C项正确。
6．Which is the main cause of light pollution?
A．Natural light.
B．Manmade light.
C．All kinds of light.
D．Outdoor light.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，光污染主要是人造光引起的，因此B项正确。
7．The underlined part “nocturnal animals” probably means
.
A．animals active at night
B．animals feeding on plants
C．animals sensitive to light
D．animals enjoying wandering
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。画线部分所在段落提到晚上的灯光对这些动物的活动有影响，因此这些动物应该是喜欢晚上活动的动物。
8．What is the proper way to reduce light pollution?
A．Making outdoor lighting point upwards.
B．Using clean energy to produce electricity.
C．Using more outdoor lighting.
D．Not using too bright light in the house.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“use only the required light fixtures for home and offices”可知D项正确。
