night,he wouldsmile,hand me the comb and say,“Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it,OK?”I was more than happy to do it.At age five this mundane task brought me such joy.I would excitedly turn the tap on,then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could.Satisfied that Id done a good job,I would proudly return the comb to Dad.He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later,Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business.I started primary school.That was when things started to change.He didnt come home as much as he used to just a couple of times a week.And when he did come home,it was always late and Id already be in bed.I started to get mad.I stopped waiting for him to come home,and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Today,Im no longer a kid.Ive graduated from college and got a job.Dads business has got back on track.Things are better now.Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.Two days

while,then took the comb and headed to the sink.I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He looked at it and smiled.But this time,I noticed something different.My dad has aged.He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles,yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before.The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family.Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.After so many

cancelled.“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,”she says.“Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff.Instead of joining in,I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said,This must be so awful for you!I dont know how you deal with these situationsits not even your fault.I could never handle it as well as you are.Without my even asking,he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class.He was happy to do a favor forsomeone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”Flattery(恭维)is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy.“Its human psychology that stroking a persons ego(自我)with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,”says apsychologist.“Tell someone theyre pretty and theyll instantly fix their hair;praise their sense of humor and theyll tell a joke.”You need help and theres ly no reason that the person will want to lend a hand.Allison,26.a lawyer,realized shed made a huge mistake on a batch of documents.“The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didnt like me,”she said.Allison then went to the womans office and explained her problem.“As I was saying to the boss the other day youre the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this,what would you suggest I do?”“Feeling pumped up(鼓励),she set about helping me and we finished

Allison.D.She did a great favor for Allison eventually.D“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds.Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves.I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.”These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking,spoken at a science festival inNorwayin 2017,a year before his death.Hawking was not alone in this view.Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonize other planets.That way,if an asteroid,a terrible disease,nuclear war,or some other disaster strikes Earth,civilization as we know it would still have a chance.Mars is one of the most tempting destinations.NASA,theUnited Arab Emirates,the private company SpaceX,and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there.“Either we spread Earth to other planets,or we risk going extinct,SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan.The most common argument against going is that its just too expensive or dangerous.It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there,let alone set up a place for them to live.Its not even clear if humans could survive on Mars.One of the biggest dangers there is deadly radiation that bombards the planet.Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth,like dealing with poverty or climate change.Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.In addition,moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there.Mars seems uninhabited,but it could possibly host microbial life.Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment.Some feel thats too much of a risk to take.What do you think?Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?12.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Many experts insist that humans should take the risk.B.Mars is the most attractive destinations for human beings.C.Hawking firmly believes the only way to save humans is moving to Mars.D.All the other experts dont agree with Hawkings idea.13.Why do some experts disagree with the plan to colonize Mars?A.It will cost much more money to settle on Mars than on Earth.B.It is too long a distance from the Earth to the Mars.C.Human visitors will bring diseases to Martian environment.D.The deadly radiation that bombards the planet is the biggest danger.14.Whats the writing purpose of the passage?A.To raise peoples awareness of protecting the environment.B.To present different opinions on whether to move to the Mars.C.To arouse readers reflection on whether to colonize outer space.D.To inspire people to deal with the environmental problems.15.In which section of a magazine is the passage most likely from?A.Fiction.B.Current affairs.C.Social Studies.D.Science.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic._16_Once the doctors get to you,they examine you and take blood samples,but they wont be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong._17_Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan,many people may never be in this situation.He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic(诊断的)tool.Ozcans invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use.In many remote places,even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses,there may still be other problems.Many doctors,for example,dont have enough training to correctly interpret what they see._18_With Ozcans mobile phone app,health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital.The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes._19_His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection.As more than four billion people already have cell phones,the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology-mobile phones-Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical.Therefore,it can be effectively almost anywhere._20_ A.Another reason that Ozcans invention is important is that it is inexpensive.B.Even though you may only have a simple infection(感染),you might die because of the delay.C.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.D.Ozcans simple,cost-effective tool might just save millions oflives around the world.E.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.F.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.G.As a result,they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 Madagascarwas not the paradise I expected.A
