A
For most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. He preferred watching football
matches on TV to talking to his family.
Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn't quiet as
usual. "Can't wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!"
I quickly found out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan.
I had never been interested in football, but Dad's excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had
to find out why this sport was making my father act like a five-year-old kid on his first trip to Disneyland.
Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating.
The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the
television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV. "Why is that man jumping up and down " Dad patiently explained,
"That's Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It's normal for them to jump up and down after they've scored."
Dad explained almost everything to me. His simple answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I
watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch
more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At last we had something in common.
Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other. Who says
football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball

B
Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is return to a comfortable
home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nice place to live.
Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology
called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices(家用设备), such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each
other by using radio waves(无线电波), according to AVSystemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual(AV，
视听的) and automation industry.
Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more sophisticated(复杂的巧妙) than X10.
Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant(语音激活助手). Google Home
and Amazon s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words.
This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would
normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek.
Common household appliances(家用电器) can become "smart" as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keep
track of the things you ve thrown away and place an online order for new items, while smart refrigerators can create
dinner recipes(菜谱) based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.
But it s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your
energy use and automatically(自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you re not using, smart homes can
lower so much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is
good for the environment.
16.X10 technology allows household devices to communicate by ________.
A. using lights B. using voices
C. using radio waves D. connecting to the 5G network
17.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Voice-activated assistants.
B. How smart homes are built.
C. The difference between X10 and 5G technologies.
D. Technologies designed for children and the disabled.
18.How are smart homes good for the environment
A. They use recyclable household appliances.
B. They are built with special materials.
C. They have smart trash bins.
D. They help us save energy.
19.Which of the advantages is NOT mentioned about smart homes
A. Comfortable. B. Convenient. C. Energy-saving. D. Relaxing.
20.What s the best title of the passage
A. Smart homes in the future B. A perfect home
C. Live a smart life D. The city of tomorrow

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented
a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography (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 a different way. In his picture you could see
everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people
began to use the way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of
famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things.
That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them. For
example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took
many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的) .
Photography had also become one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just pictures
of the real world. They showed different feelings, like other kinds of art.

33. One possible version:
Dear Mr Mayor,
My name is Li Hua. I m a university student here. I like this city, but I have found some environmental problems
in it. That s why I write this letter to you.
First, white pollution is a serious problem in our city. People use too many things made of plastic. I think the
government should make laws to limit the use of them and encourage people not to use plastic products. Second, the
river is heavily polluted. Some factories pour waste water into the river. I suggest that the government should close
down these factories. Finally, sm og is also becoming a big problem in our city. There are more and more cars that
give off too much waste gas on the road. I think the government should encourage people to use public transportation.
I hope the environment in our city can become better and better.
Yours,
Li Hua
