104、ally have four kinds of wishes:I wish to go Children usually want to travel or go to a concert,a game or a park.I wish to meet Children sometimes want to meet their favorite actors,singers or players.A.sick childrenB.serious officersC.famous actors(1)A.They gave him a computer.B.They took him to a c

106、 in the future.People who work in the charity always trytheir best.Almost 28,000 volunteers help,work or give money.Will you be one of them?Make-a-wish is a charity to help .What did the two police officers do for Christopher?What kinds of wishes does Christopher have?The purpose(目的)of the last para
107、graph is to .explain what make-a-wish isencourage more people to join the charitytalk about different kinds of childrens wishesWhat is the best title(标题)of the passage?Make-a-wishHow sick children get wellA few people are working for make-a-wish17.Today we can do everything with apps:pay bills,order
108、 food and shop for anything.Mobiletechnology means we can hold the world in our hands.However,when it comes to technology andhealth care,opportunities and challenges come together.Lets start with the ways to get health care.Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology tosee the doctor online a
109、nd get a diagnosis(诊断)and instructions without leaving home.In addition,there are many patient websites.These allow for different kinds of interactions aboutour health needs without involving the medical team.Setting a date with doctors and reading labresults are readily achieved by technology.A who
110、le new age of medical care seems likely(可能的)to come in the future.But every coinhas two sides.What might be on the other side of techno-health care?A.B.C.D.(1)A.an ability to understandB.an interesting experienceC.a chance to winD.a fair decision(2)A.B.C.(3)Firstly,we should think about the health c
111、are experience as a whole.A usual visit to a doctorbegins with a receptionist(接待员),who can see and tell how a patient is doing.This may influencethe treatment effect.Its unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.Next,sharing the details of ones life requires trust,which takes time to
112、build.This is certainly truein health care,where some of lifes best and worst moments involve doctors.The human touch shouldnot be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.Lastly,test results can be difficult to understand.When someone without a medical degree sees aflagged result
113、 with no explanation on the website,theres room for all kinds of stories to form in theirmindsand also great worry.So how does medicine adapt(适应)to the new technology age?Very talented companies areworking on it.There is medical equipment(设备)that can be used at home to send necessary signsand heart
114、sounds through telemedicine.It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explaintest results.But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch.Patients often needsomeone to listen toand care abouttheir journey story,which will never be realized through ahuman-less t
115、echnology.Technology should be a tool,but depending on it totally will most certainlyhave unexpected effects.Lets not allow our humanity to be one of them.According to the passage,how does technology help health care?It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites.It offers the patient a
116、convenient way to get a diagnosis.It improves relations between doctors and patients.It provides an opportunity to build a medical team.The word intuition in Paragraph 5 probably means .What do you know about techno-health care from the passage?Patient websites require trust from doctors.Talented co
117、mpanies can give medical advice.Flagged results may cause worry for patients.D.A.B.C.D.(4)Medical equipment collects patients stories.The writer probably agrees that .technology can deal with unexpected effects.telemedicine can take the place of usual health care.it is difficult for patients to adap
118、t to the new technology age.techno-health care should take humanity into consideration.18.Your Internet experience is ruined when the net speed is too slowit takes so long to open a webpage and the reality show youre watching stops every now and then.That can be very annoying.Butit could be a thing
119、of the past.In the near future,major telecom carriers will start to provide 5Gservices.What is 5G?What difference will it really make to our lives?The G in 5G refers to the generations of mobile network technologies.1G let us talk to each other,2G let us send messages,3G gave us mobiledata and the I
120、nternet,and 4G made all of these things faster.Now 5G promises much faster datadownload and upload speeds,and more stable connections.This means that you will be able todownload an HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay(延迟)between sending andreceiving data.For example,when you have a
121、video chat with your friend,there is generally a 100 to200 milliseconds delay with 4G,but 5G will reduce the delay to 1 millisecond or less,which is almostreal time.5G will be able to improve many advanced technologies,such as driverless cars,wearabledevices and entertainment.With a 5G network,the s
122、hort delay in information exchange will allowdriverless cars to run more safely,as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid potentialdangers.Meanwhile,5G-enabled wearable devices will keep doctors updated on the health status oftheir patients and alert them immediately if theres somet
123、hing wrong.Besides,VR games will becomemore popular with 5G.The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.Though 5G will make our lives more convenient,it will not be perfect.For one thing,5G will nottravel far.On 4G networks,you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmissio

126、 does Paragraph 3 answer?What does the underlined word alert mean in Paragraph 3?What is the problem of 5G according to the last paragraph?It does harm to our health because of the strong signal.People lose signal easily although 5G can travel farther.It needs more transmission bases in order to get
127、 signals.People must buy new and big products designed for 5G.Where is the article possibly from?19.In 1826,a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business.But he was not a goodartist.So he invented a very simple(adj.简单的)camera.He put it in a window of his house andtook a picture of his ga
128、rden.That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography(n.摄 影)was in 1837.That year,Daguerre,another Frenchman,took a picture of his reading-room.He used a new kind of camera in adifferent way.In his picture you could see everything very clearly,even the smallest thing.Th

130、 of peopleand moving things.That was not simple.The photographers had to carry a lot of films(n.胶片)andother machines.But this did not stop them,for example,some in the United States worked so hard.A.his businessB.his houseC.his gardenD.his window(1)A.a FrenchmanB.a kind of pictureC.a kind of cameraD

132、.栩栩如生的).Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century.Some photos were notjust taken of the real world;they showed ideas and feelings,like other kinds of art.The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of .The Daguerreotype was .If a photographer wanted to take pictures

134、how to use different cameras20.The world uses about a thousand million(百万)tons of water a day.Water is a human right andeveryone should have their share.Yet more than 700 million people around the world have troublegetting clean,safe water.Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for

147、er,many people ask these difficult questions.Tolstoy spent his whole life trying toanswer these difficult questions.As a young man,he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough.So heworked very hard to be the best in everything.He thought that he would find meaning and truth i
148、nsuccess.In 1850s,Tolstoy wrote his first stories.He wrote about his life in the army.He also told storiesabout his childhood.These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.He earned the respect he always wanted.Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy.Some of them were
149、 writers like him.They talked a lot about faith(信仰)and the meaning of life.Butsoon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect.Now he knew they could not answer hisquestions about faith.So in the 1860s,Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life.He opened a school forthe childre
150、n of his serfsthe people who worked on his land.These workers were very poor.Hewanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers.He understood how they worked hard to support theirfamilies.He began to believe that marriag

162、 are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around theearth.And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes(望远镜).There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we cant see.Objects,like bits of old space rockets or satellites,move around the p
163、lanet at very high speeds,so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts.If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship,it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse,when two objects in space crash,they break into many smaller pieces.F
164、orexample,when a U.S.satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009,it broke into more than 2,000 pieces,increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk,countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay inspace for 25 years at most.Each tool must be built to fall safely i
165、nto the earths atmosphere after thattime.In the upper parts of the atmosphere,it will burn up.Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk.In England scientistsare testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk.The net catches the junk and then pulls it intothe ea
166、rths atmosphere to burn up.The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of spacejunk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.The problem is becoming more challenging because were sending more objects into space tohelp people use their mobile phones and computers,says Marco Cas

290、ample in winter when the sun goes down early,the protein wont be active.But when springcomes and the days get longer,the FKF1 protein can be made active by day light and the plantsknow it is time to flower.If there is light in the late afternoon,plants will know that the days are getting longer and
291、that it isthe best time for flowers to come out,explained Takato Imaizumi,leader of the study.But whenconditions are poor for growing,such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and daysare short,plants wont flower.Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the
