1 . Imagine—you are running to catch a train, only to find that you forgot your ID card (身份证)! There is no way you can board without it. However, don’t worry. In the near future, all the people in China will just need a new one on their smartphones (智能手机).
In fact, China’s first ID cards appeared in 1984. But the ID cards now are the second ones with 18 numbers, standing for one’s birthplace, birth date and gender (性别), which have been widely used in China. In 2018, China has already started the first try of digital (数字的) ID cards. It was only used among the people in cities including Quzhou, Hangzhou and Fuzhou to open bank accounts (账户), check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets and so on.
This year, the government will introduce these new digital ID cards to the whole country. That’s better to meet the basic living needs of more than 100 million people who live away from their home provinces. These people have to go to school or work at different places away from their homes. Sometimes to prove that “I am who I am”, they have to run back to home provinces. It is a waste of time and money.
Digital ID cards can allow related information to be accessed (获取) by a simple scan (扫描) with a smartphone, which is like the way we pay for the bills with WeChat (微信). It is easier than the old IDs.
Also, the government will provide convenience (方便) for people who do not use smartphones, especially the old. Certainly, at this time we should pay more attention to the information safety and privacy.

2 . In the past, libraries mainly played the role of storing books. People used to go to a library to borrow books and get information. But today, libraries have been a place with well-equipped facilities (装备齐全的设施) and people can stay there comfortably for a whole day.
Liu, a third-year student at Guangdong Medical University, has been a regular visitor to her school library since her first year. “When I feel bored at home, I’ll check my phone. But it makes me more bored, while staying in the library is different. It offers a great study environment. It makes me calm and I can lose myself in study in the library.”
Tang, a student in Beijing, thinks the library is the only place where she can put her hear completely in her study. So since high school, She’s studied in libraries. “I felt I was facing pressure (压力). I was afraid of falling behind. I had no idea about how to relax. Accidentally I found peace in libraries.”
Libraries are also being visited by some people who lost their jobs. Zhong from Shanghai has visited a library since last year. “My family don’t know my situation, and I don’t want them to worry about me, so visiting the library is a way to conceal this from them,” Zhong said. Zhong visits the Pudong Library every weekday and plans to continue doing so until she finds a job again.

3 . ①Whenever you walk past a cafe, you might take interest in the coffee because of its delicious smell. But when you try this dark drink you will regret it, because it tastes like Chinese medicine. Our senses are mismatched because of the “second sense of smell” according to the Telegraph.
②“We have two senses of smell,” explained Barry Smith, professor of the University of London. “One is when you breathe (呼吸) in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed out through the nose.
③When we drink coffee, for example,the act of swallowing (吞咽) sends the smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain. As a result, it gives us a different feeling.
④In fact, the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experience. It may be common sense that we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue (舌头). But the truth is 80% of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch a very small part of the flavor (味道).
⑤However, ____▲____. Durians(榴莲) and some cheeses are examples.“Think of a piece of cheese with an unpleasant smell,” Smith said.“It smells like the inside of a teenager’s training shoe. But once it’s in your mouth, and you are experiencing the smell through the nose in the other direction, it is delicious.
⑥So far, scientists have only found two flavors that smell the same no matter how they enter the nose-chocolate and lavender.
1. Why do some good-smelling things taste so bad?| A．Because our two senses of smell work differently. |
| B．Because different people have different tastes. |
| C．Because our sense of taste often lies to us. |
| A．To show us the importance of the sense of taste. |
| B．To explain what the second sense of smell is. |
| C．To tell us most of taste actually reaches us through smell. |
| A．the second sense of smell sometimes doesn’t work at all |
| B．people think that most of food with strong smell tastes terrible as well |
| C．the mismatch between our two senses of smell sometimes has pleasant results |
| A．How can we change the smell of delicious food? |
| B．What is the best way to drink freshly made coftee? |
| C．Why does something that smells good but tastes bad? |
A． | B． | C． | D． |
4 . ①The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
②Boya was good at playing the guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter (樵夫) who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Before Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.
③The following year, Boya took his guqin to the place where they met for the first time. It was an exciting date for him to meet Ziqi. He waited for a long time,but Ziqi didn’t appear. Unfortunately, when visiting Ziqi’s father, Boya heard that his good friend had died from a disease. Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
④People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.
⑤Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G2.0 Summit (峰会) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016.

Good evening, everyone! My name is Wang Linghui. I’m glad to give a speech in the school hall. My topic is “Say ‘No’ to junk food”.
Do you like fried chicken, hamburgers or ice cream? You may answer, “Yes, I like them very much. They are delicious!” But if I tell you these foods are all junk food, do you believe it? Yes, they are really junk food. They are not healthy food. If we often eat them, we may become unhealthy and even ill. But I find many students in our school like eating junk food. I don’t think it’s a good eating habit so we should give it up.
In order to keep healthy, we shouldn’t eat junk food. We should eat more healthy food, for example, eggs, meat, fruit and vegetables. Only healthy food can help us keep healthy and have a good life. Let’s eat more healthy food. To junk food, we should say “No”!
1. Where does the speaker give the speech?2. Why do students like junk food?
3. What can help us keep healthy and have a good life?
4. The underlined word “them” refers to(指的是)
5. Do you like eating junk food? Why or why not?(不超过20个词）
6 . On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战),the Ministry of Education issued(教育部公布)a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating. Sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health?
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize on create a network platform(平台),where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection(感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers. Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, specially how to keep away from touching virus and also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
