A
Dear Mom,
I haven’t written before for quite a while because I have got no energy. I now get around my room and this floor of the hospital with a walking stick but I can go only a little bit at a time because I’m awfully weak yet. My right leg was taken out of the cast (石膏) several days ago and it’s still as stiff as a board and awfully sore from so much carving around the knee joint. But the surgeon says that eventually it will be all right. I’ve included a picture of me in bed. It looks like my left leg is a stump (残肢), but it really isn’t. Just bent so it looks that way...
This war makes us a bit less fools than we were. There isn’t going to be any such thing as “foreigners” for me after the war is won. I’ve gotten Italian pretty well. I’ve picked up quite a lot of Polish and my French is improving. You want to be prepared for a lot of visitors after the war now because I’ve a lot of pals coming to see me in Chicago. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I can’t get in the army and they won’t take me with two shaky legs in the draft (征兵) if I go home. So I might as well stay over here and avoid the awkwardness for a while.
Also Ma, I’m in love again. Now don’t start worrying about me getting married for I’m not. I’m not even going to get engaged. So don’t write any “God Bless U, My Children”: Not for about 10 years. You’re a dear old kid, and still my best girl. God bless you and write me often... I love you.
Ernie

A. show the cruelty of the war

A. Ernie is able to speak four foreign languages
B. Ernie hardly made any friends before the war
C. Ernie hopes to keep in touch with his mother
D. Ernie is engaged but hasn’t had the plan for marriage

B
When I heard the piano, I walked to Mrs. Windsor's house and waited outside as I always did. That meant she was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I' d rather be doing. "Almost anything", I sighed dejectedly. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn't have a gift for it. It didn’t come to me naturally. I thought back to happier times when I was writing stories and acting them out with my friends, cutting up old clothes to make dresses that performer swear in plays, and building scenery out of old things we found. But Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.
"Hello," I heard a voice behind me say softly, I turned around to see a little girl standing behind me, eating an apple. But before I could make any response, Mrs. Windsor walked into the room in her usual urgent manner and announced, "Jennifer, this is my niece, Pasha. Pasha, this is Jennifer. Pasha will be giving you your lesson today. I'm up to my ears in something else!" she then exited to the kitchen.
Pasha set her apple down on the side table and slid beside me on the piano bench.
"What piece do you like best?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked. "They're all the same to me. I don't know.”
"You mean you don't have a favorite?"
" No, not really. "
Pasha looked at me, rather puzzled, then opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys and studied the notes on the page for a moment. Then I frowned and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements, I have to admit I was a rather mechanical pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. "What are you hearing in the music?" I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn’t know what she meant.
"Like a story. What story is being playing out within the music?"
"I guess I’ve never thought about it before. I don' t know. "
"Here, let me try and you listen," Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. "See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?"
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. "Now the princess appears and she’s picking flowers from the water’s edge. "A carefree, happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha' s dancing fingers. "Oh, but she slips!" The music changed. "And our princess is being carried off by the fast - flowing stream. Quickly, the princess' s horse sees her plight (因境) ," Pasha continued,
and races to the river's edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him. They make it to the bank and she hugs her faithful horse and swears she will never again wear princess skirts that weigh her down. She will only wear jeans and T - shirt from now on. " Pasha finished with a big smile and then looked at me.
"Aren't you the girl who tells the stories?" she asked.
"I guess. I do tell a lot of stories. "
"Oh, yes! All the kids talk about them. I’ve heard about you. Well, all you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music. That's all there is to it. "
"I’ve never thought it that way. "
" Let's try another one, shall we?" Pasha smiled and together we played that afternoon, finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.
24. Jennifer got lost in thought when she_______.
A. played the piano with Pasha for the first time
B. listened to Pasha tell her story about the princess
C. remembered happier times of writing stories and acting them out

C
When Apple cut its expectation benefit for the last quarter of 2018 because of slow sales of i-Phones, markets were shocked. The company’s share price, which had been sliding for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out. Apple’s suppliers’ shares were also hit. But Apple’s pain is humans’ gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.
Nearly 4bn of the 5.5bn adults on the planet now have one smart-phone. They connect billions of people to the internet’s huge amount of information and services. Phones make markets more efficient and inspire growth. Yes, they can be used for wasting time and spreading disinformation. But the good far outweighs the bad. They might be the most effective tool of development in existence.
Actually this slowdown is the result of market saturation (饱和). After a decade of rapid
taking-in, there is much less opportunity to sell handsets to first-time buyers as so few of them are left. And replacement cycles are becoming longer as new models offer only insignificant improvements. For all but the craziest fans, the slowing pace of upgrades comes as a welcome relief.
Does that mean innovation (创新) is slowing? No. The latest phones contain amazingly clever technology such as 3D face-scanners and cameras assisted by artificial intelligence. Moreover, smart-phones also provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for future ones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robot-axis.
As computers become smaller, still more personal and closer to people’s bodies, many scientists believe that wearable devices will be the next big thing. Even so, finding another product with the range of the smart-phone is a tall order. The recent slowing of smart-phone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously. But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a trans-formative technology has become almost universal.
28. The writer considers the slowdown of smart-phone sales good news because ___________.
A. it can make market more efficient
B. it slows crazy fans’ pace of upgrades
C. it means less disinformation will spread
D. it indicates the popularity of smart-phones
29. We can infer from the text that ___________.
A. wearable devices will take the place of smart-phones very soon
B. in the future people might take a smartphone-controlled robot-axis
C. Apple’s suppliers’ shares hit a record high after the news came out
D. Apple’s share prices are likely to go on sliding in the next decade
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Brand New Age for Humans
B. Smartphone, a Good Tool or a Bad Tool?
C. New Technology in Smartphones
D. Bad News for Apple, Good News for Humans
第二节（共5小题：每小题2分計满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Time after time, I am on different internet forums, and I end up communicating with people who want to start a blog or website and are, “going to get started soon”, “thinking about it”, or “still going over my options”, and so on. While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still thinking about it”.
While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most. 31 There is a proverb, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perfect plan. In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything
right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down. 32
Yes, you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error.
Just make a decision and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist. 33 It comes from the belief that, “anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project.
To start, just begin with something that is good enough, and then keep working to improve on it. Make a basic plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results. 34 Let go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with, “it’s got to be perfect.”
I’ll leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect. 35 “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
A. In fact, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.
B. I’ll provide you with some examples of action.
C. Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.
D. However, he is an example to be followed today.
E. Once you begin, it’s often less painful to keep working.
F. Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision.
G. The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment.
