Aung San Sun Kyi Determined to bring democracy (民主）to Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi founded the National League for Democracy (NLD).

Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees ( an American professional baseball team based in the New York City ) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的）listener to WFAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa. Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure. Of course, Mike will be leaving Dec. 15, 2017 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday the year before last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday. Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday, and of course, talking about the Yankees. When my family celebrated Berts birthday two days later, he couldnt stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him. Unfortunately, Berts health declined last year and he passed away July 13, 2017. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WFAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 90th birthday.24. What habit did Bert keep for years?A. Playing baseball.B. Listening to a sports program.C.

The call finally arrived.C.The big dream came true. D.An unforgettable birthday party.C The clock is ticking. David Brunelli has just swallowed a huge burger. The crowd cheers excitedly as he downs fistfuls of fries. Welcome to the world of competitive eating. Brunelli is part of a select group who compete to eat massive quantities of food as quickly as possible. Eating contests may seem like harmless fun, but they have a dark side and some critics are saying its time for them to stop. Pouring crazy amounts of food down our throats is nothing new. Gorging banquets (狼吞虎咽会）were a regular part of ancient Roman culture. In the 1800s, some New York City politicians settled bets through eating challenges. Pie-eating contests have been a Fourth of July tradition for more than a century. For supporters like Brunelli, though, eating contests are more than a custom. They are a path to fortune. But prize money does nothing to reduce the health risks of competitive eating. Competitive eating can even be life-threatening. In 1991，a man in Virginia suffered a stroke (中风)after eating 38 eggs in 29 seconds; In Florida, in 2012, a man died shortly after winning an eating contest leading a group of doctors to call for a ban on eating contests. In any event, the risk to competitors is only part of the story. Nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and competitive eating sets a terrible example by encouraging overeating. And in a world where 805 million people go hungry every day, downing ridiculous quantities of food for entertainment seems not just wasteful but also cruel. For now, though，it seems eating contests are here to stay. Last year, more than three million viewers watched Nathans Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on TV. This year, Matt Stonie ate 182 pieces of bacon in 5 minutes, breaking the world record. What record will be broken next? Do you really want to find out?28. What does the author try to express in Paragraph 4?A. Competitive eating is a tradition.B. Its great to learn from ancient people.C. Competitive eating should be accepted.D. Its exciting to challenge others to eat.29. Why does Brunelli take part in the eating contest?A. For food.B.Forfun.C.Forhonor.D.Formoney.30.

What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author hopes to break the record.B. The author is eager to knowtheresult.C. The author wants readers tofind out theresult.D. The author disapproves of competitive eating.D With the average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees from over-using the office printer. Toshiba American Business Solutions has come up with an alternative idea. It has introduced the e-STUDIO4508LP, a printer that gives users the option to print with erasable toner (墨粉)一 allowing a single piece of paper to be reused several times. To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process as a normal printer, but in reverse (反过来），said Bill Melo, chief marketing executive for Toshiba America Business Solutions. Paper printed with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the toner gets removed and put in a discard (丢弃）tank. There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable toner have to be in blue ink, which is the only color in which erasable toner is now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing the printouts after five times through the eraser because small traces of erased text will build up over time. The $15,420 printer is aimed at offices and schools，where there are often large numbers of printouts that outlive their usefulness quickly. With the erasable toner, its possible to load any short-lived handouts back onto the printer to be erased and then reused. Still, convincing customers to commit to erasable toner isnt always easy. Melo said not all its customers were happy about only havingthe erasable option. The model, Melo said, shouldbetter servetheneedsofthose who want to be environmentally conscious but also may need something more permanent on occasion.32. Whats special about Toshibas printer?A. Its low-priced. B. Its fashionable.C.Its lightweight. D. Its eco-friendly.33. Whats the key to making the printer work?A. A discard tank. B.Light colored ink.C.Special writing paper. D. A high enough temperature.34. What does the underlined word “catches” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Theories.B.Problems. C. Differences. D. Characteristics.35. How did the public respond to theprinter?A. They asked for more patterns.B. Some expressed dissatisfaction.C. Some worried about its recycling.D. They considered it hard to operate.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 September is the month of new arrivals.
