That's 37 those are the five most common surnames inChina shared by 30% of the population. And the vast majority of the population share just 100 of those surnames.38(put) that in perspective, the United States reported 6. 3 million surnames in its 2010 census.There are a few reasons for this: China is less 39(racial) diverse than countries such as the US,where a wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity. It also has to do 40 language; youcan't just add a random stroke to a Chinese character and create a new surname.But there9s also another factor at play: technology. With China 41(roar) into the digital age,nearly everything has moved online-from making appointments to buying train tickets. The main problem is that not all Chinese characters 42(code) into computer systems. That meant 43 world oftrouble if you happened to have a rare character in your name. As of 2017, up to 60 million Chinese citizens faced this predicament, according to Xinhua.People with rare characters in their names,44 aren't compatible with existing computer systems,can get left behind 一 pushing many to change their names for the sake of 45(convenient), even if itmeans abandoning centuries of heritage and language.To try to address this, experts have increased the database from 32, 000 characters to 70, 000 characters, according to the government. They're still working to expand it to include more than 90, 000 characters, said Chen Jiawei, an associate professor at Beijing Normal University. 第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分)46.假如你是李华，受社区邀请为老年人做一个主题为“提高防骗意识、增强防范能力”的演讲， 内容包括：1 .诈骗类型；.防范方法。 注意：1 .写作词数应为80左右；.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。第二节（满分25分）47.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job.

Then he works in some vocabulary words to ask for a plastic ear of com. Xia tells him the price, and he counts the money in his hand before making the exchange.

The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn't give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn't have to pay for Dr. Couney's incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.Bom in 12, Lucille Hom ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She'd been bom a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn't a chance she'd live. "It was just: You die because you didn't belong in the world,“ Hom says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Islandand to Dr. Couney's infant （婴幼 JL） exhibit.Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies-this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. "Look at this young lady," Dr. Couney told the man. "She's one of our babies. And thafs how your baby's gonna grow up.”Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusement parks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney's efforts were largely unknown-but at least one person will never forget him. "Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I'm thankful to be here J Hom says.4. What can we learn about Dr. Couney's incubator?A. It pushed medical science forward.B. It was the most famous sideshow.C. It saved many premature babies.D. It charged each infant 25 cents.5. Why was Horn taken to Dr. Couney's infant exhibit?A. She belonged in nowhere else but Coney Island.B. It was the only place where she might survive.C. The hospital staff lacked the patience to care for her.D. Her father refused to accept the death of her twin sister.6. What is the purpose of Dr. Couney's words in Paragraph 4?A. To relieve the man's anxiety.B. To introduce the lady to the man.C To promise the baby's bright future.D. To explain the function of the incubator.7. What should we learn from Dr. Couney's story?A. Medical knowledge.B. Earning power.C. Persuasive techniques.D. Flexible mind.CWhen you're going through a period of anxiety or depression it can be difficult to make decisions, whether those are significant life changes or everyday choices. Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty-which doesn't help when you need to make a decision, big or small.Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention（干预）there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.Participants were aged between 18 and 55; some had symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder, while others had no history of mental illness at all.In the study, after filling in measures related to anxiety, depression, and worry, participants took part in a video game. In each round, they were asked to choose between two shapes: picking onne shape resulted in a reward, while the other delivered an electric shock.The task took place in two blocks-one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability of result
