12、her and her classmates what impresses them most when it comes to Africa.Unexpectedly, Huang, 31, found that words like “poverty” and “safari” negative words that were often associated with the continent in media reports were the kind of terms her African classmates didnt want to hear. Instead, they

13、preferred to hear the question answered in this way: “Africa is the cradle of humankind” and “Africans are passionate and generous”.Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. Its true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in Western Africa and the emergence (出現(xiàn)) of pirates off th

14、e coast of Somalia hitting the news, its easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the worlds oldest civilizations Egypt, born by the worlds longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tom

15、bs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of

16、 savannas (稀樹草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjaro the highest mountain in Africa and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar.These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was held on Sept 3 a

21、ul devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand?Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available.

22、 In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and Chinas Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to

23、 their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, theyre “the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device”.The technology could change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that sti

24、ck to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space.In a keynote address, Samsungs senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen “the foundation for the smartphone

25、of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (畫布) for us to do something beautiful together.” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二極管) scre

26、ens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMBThats a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isnt

27、 going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”1、What can be the best title for the text?A

28、Screen devices on the market.BFoldable age is arriving.CPossible powers of a tablet.DFoldable screens are imperfect.2、What can we learn from Justin Denisons words?AThe foldable screen has great potential.BThe Galaxy Fold still has many problems.CThe production of foldable phones will soon increase.D

29、Companies need to work together to develop foldable phone.3、What is the problem with foldable phones at the moment?AThey are easy to break.BThey are inconvenient to carry.CThey are not as useful as expected.DThey are unaffordable for most families.4、What is the authors attitude toward the future of

The current train cars in Boston have been running for decades and are too old to prov

31、ide a modern trip experience.Made in northeastern Chinas Jilin Province, the new cars can run at a speed of 102 kilometers per hour. Although designed according to the U.S. standard, the producing method of the cars is owned by a Chinese company named CRRC, the China Railway Rolling Stock Corporatio

32、n. The final products match the Boston subways strict maximum weight requirement of 34 tons per car, which barred a lot of world-famous companies from getting the order form. The cars have to be solid, but light-weight at the same time, technology manager of the project Hong Haifeng told CCTVs Manda

33、rin news channel. And they have to be compatible with the century-old facilities in Boston.This is the first time for Chinese rail equipment to be used in the United States. The new cars are designed to run for 30 years. CRRC showcased the model car in Boston on April 3. CCTV reported that the model

37、 Flowers make people happy. And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, with their beauty evolv

38、ing in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got theirs. By

39、 now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) many of t

40、he domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遺傳學家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got to survi

41、ve and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 2,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant world.” McGuire say

42、s.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tolerated because of their beauty

43、. The seeds would have been preserved and replanted. Over time, the best of these flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”1、The underlined word “theirs” probably means _.AflowersBnotebooksCflowers and notebooksDa second bunch of flowers2、Which of the following statem

More specifically, they a

47、gree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, andbuytheir ownhouse.But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?ThemostrecentNationalJournal poll asked participants about the American dream, what it takes to achieve their goal, an

48、d whether or not they felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century. Generally speaking, people felt that their actions and hard w

49、ork not outside force deciding their lives. But the participants had definitely mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic(悲觀的) about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see go

50、ing to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority 52 percent think that young people do not need a 4-year college education in order to be successful.Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a masters degree and works in public health, was the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to ach

51、ieve a sense of financial stability(穩(wěn)定) his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as

52、 an effective high-school education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook(支票簿), are the necessary elements for a successful life in America.1、It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have _.Aa sense of drive and purpose Ban advanced academic degreeCa fi
