He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.The program “Play Me, Im yours” has also reached England and Brazil(巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there.

Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou dynasty, over 2, 500 years ago. Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先). This year, it falls on April 4. Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off for that day.On this day. families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites(墓地) of their ancestors. They place cakes, fruits in front of the grave* and some may bum joss p*per. as money for the dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念) the memories of their dead family members.Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them.

Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.Digital moneyWe used to pay with cash(现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now its hard to live without them. Its reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic(仿生的) eyeIts no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data(数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(高清的) image could be just a few years away.Self-driving carsUnlike a human driver, a self-driving car wont get distracted(分神) by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.46. _ has stopped using cash completely.A. SwedenB. ATMC. BBCD. America47. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.B. Digital money is most likely to be uxed instead of cash.C.

Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside.C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used.49. From the report, we can learn some information about _.A. culture and ArtB. industry and farmingC. science and technologyD. traffic and journey50. Which of the following can be predicted(预测) from the passage?A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the roadB. The blind could use cameras to see things around.C. We would live a hard life with digital money.D. Robots would control the world.第二部分 非选择题（共50分）四、阅读表达 阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务。（10分）Have you ever thought about one question: why do we need to learn math?It is an interesting question. Kids around the world have been asking it for years. For US students, they may get the answer from a new exhibition called “Math Alive!" (1) 47 activities are designed to teach kids how math is used in everyday life. For example, at one exhibition station, visitors can test that a person's arm span(臂展) equals their height. At another station, visitors can control the robot with the help of math skills.The exhibition will visit 15 US and international cities in the next five years. Organizers say they want more kids to learn why math is important in daily life. Think of simple things, like clocks. They tell time, but only if you know how to read them. That means using math.
