So the group gathered pine cones, put them in water and bought wire wreath frames and adhesive (黏合剂) to hold everything in place. A few days before Christmas, they and their leaders delivered the finished handiwork.Through the years, we proudly hung up her wreath each Christmas. In 1986, the wreath was hanging on our door as usual when the temperature on Christmas Day reached 80 degrees. The adhesive began to break down and the pine cones started falling all over our front porch. We took the wreath down, planning to repair it, and gathered up the pine cones. That spring, as my husband, Don, was weeding the flower bed in front of our house, he was surprised to discover a small evergreen plant.We decided to leave it alone. The determined tree kept growing, making it right through the long winter. When it got too big for the flower bed we moved it to the back of our lot. As the tree grew, so did our family, including four grandchildren. One day the men from the electric company came to trim (修剪) our trees. One of them said it was a shame that someday our nice evergreen would have to be cut down. We just couldnt let that happen to our faithful if accidental Christmas tree.We decided to move it again, this time to Sandy and her husband Joels new house in the country. My husband helped Joel dig the evergreen out. It wasnt ready to let go without a fight. Finally, five hours later, the tree came loose. They wrapped the roots as best as they could and put the whole thing in Joels truck. After an hours drive they planted the tree. Im happy to report our brave evergreen is still growing, now producing pine cones of its own.24. What was a Christmas tradition for the family?A. Making dishes with pine cones.B.

Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been off the charts.One of the most-talked about features of the iPhone X is the new front and back-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognize faces and expressions. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looking at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone. It works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a kind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these marks to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unlock the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to keep recognizing the person over time.Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognized the face in different situations and unlocked the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not work perfectly all the time.One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unlock the iPhone X if the user wore a certain kind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any kind of disguise even one covering just part of the face caused Face ID to fail. It was found to work correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who look very much alike. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock someone elses iPhone X with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become the new gold standard for all facial recognition.28. How can users unlock an iPhone X?A. By using a fingerprint. B. By taking a picture.C. By looking at the iPhone X . D. By recognizing users faces.29. From the text, we know the new Face ID recognition _.A. will recognize users by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognize users by using the dots on their facesC. wont recognize users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users cant unlock an iPhone X if they wear _.A. glasses B. masks C. hats D. headphones31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Young people cant use the Face ID successfully.B. The system has become “the new gold standard”.C. A million people are using the iPhone X.D. Apple thinks the Face ID system is very successful.DA team of scientists found a new planet in space by accident. It was a discovery that could change science. “We hit the jackpot here,” said scientist Guillem Anglada-Escude about the discovery of the planet more or less like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri (半人马座比邻星), the star nearest to our solar system.What do we know about this exciting new Earth? Well, Proxima b, or “Earth II” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its revolution only takes 11 days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf star than Earth to the sun, the sky there is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect. But there are a lot of questions about life forms that could live on this new planet.The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the USs space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spaceship, which were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. If there were aliens (外星人) on Proxima b, they would have found images showing the incredible diversity of Earth.Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter: “This is a present from a small distant world We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (银河的) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet even if it has an atmosphere at first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900 km/h).32. What does the underlined phrase “hit the jackpot” probably mean?A. Make a bet.B. Take a risk.C. Succeed by chance.D. Miss the boat.33. What does the author say about Proxima b?A. It has a shorter period of revolution.B. It is of the similar weight to Earth.C. It is a newly-found planet in the solar system.D. Its sky looks orange for being closer to the sun.34. What do President Jimmy Carters words suggest?A. Humans eagerness to meet creatures from outer space.B. The great progress made in space exploration.C. The best wishes for Americas space program.D. Humans determination to explore outer space.35. Whats the main purpose of the text?A. To give advice on how to visit a new planet.B. To prove that aliens really exist on other planets.C. To report on the discovery of an interesting new planet.D. To show the excitement of moving to a new planet in space.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。One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasnt actually in the room with her. 36 I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldnt see.37 Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart phones. These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughters smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as “the cloud”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.38 Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.Dont let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 39Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. 40 But when it cant, turn it off.A. That was a long time ago.B. Connect offline well as online.C. Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.D. We should communicate with each other with phones off.E. When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.F. However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.G. When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。I never expected to go to the University of Michigan.
