Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated home assistant powered by AI（人工智能）. And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. A few days later,
much to her parents’ surprise, a $ 170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that’s not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices（设备）in many
listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!

People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom（增长）in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?

The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for\" Alexa\" or \"OK Google\" or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens shopping habits? And what if someone hacks（入侵）the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.
What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?

Tourism（旅游业）is one of the world’s largest industries. Many countries depend heavily on tourism as an important part of their economy（经济）, while other countries-such as some of the smaller Caribbean island nations-are almost completely dependent on tourism.
Despite its economic advantages, tourism has disadvantages, too. While countries spend millions attracting tourists, they are also under the pressure that tourism brings.
One of the biggest problems is environmental. The building of roads and hotels can quickly destroy those very beautiful places. Development on wetlands, for example, influences wildlife; forests disappear as they are cleared to make way for buildings and to provide fuel（燃料）. In addition, the tourist industry also puts a huge pressure on water people need. In dry Mediterranean areas, tourists use almost twice as much water as local people when swimming in the pool.
Tourism is also responsible for producing plenty of waste. Cruise ships in the Caribbean produce a lot of rubbish-more than 70, 000 tons each year. It even has an influence on places far away like the Himalayas, the word’s highest mountain, which has more than 100 tons of rubbish sitting on it.
In spite of these problems, tourism can be good for communities and the environment. The park-entrance fees（费用）are paid for the protection of places of interest or the animals. What’s

A. ①②③
B. ①②④
C. ①③④
D. ②④

3D printing is becoming more ancl more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments and even cars. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily by using 3D printers.
But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience
completely by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the blender or microwave. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to choose a recipe(食谱) and put the uncooked food“inks” into the printer to make the food you want. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and healthy meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment, There would
be less need for traditional growing, shipping and packaging steps as food production would be a lot quicker and better. For example, tree leaves and insects could be turned into tasty products! Printing food could also help people who have a swallowing(香咽) trouble. They could program the printer to print softer kinds of their favorite foods so that they would not have difficulty swallowing them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D-printed food would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those for growing, shipping and packaging food. Imagine a world

Also, there are worries about the healthy value of printed food: is it really possible to get what we need from food-based “inks” or something like that?
As we know, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional
and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pastime of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
38. The second paragraph mainly tells us . ( D ) A. we can change our recipes by 3D food printing B. there are many ways of printing food on the 3D printer C. 3D food printing has become very common in the kitchen D. some scientists are trying to make 3D food printing used wildely 39.

The word culture includes not only the customs of our society, its art, music, but also everyday activities. Cultures give us a sense of belonging in society. So the losing of one’s culture is, for many, alarming. Many people believe their traditional ways of life are under threat (威胁) and that something should be done. Yet for some, the losing of culture is a natural result of globalization(全球化) and progress. So is the globalization of culture a threat or a chance?
Those who see globalization as a threat argue that societies are losing special parts of their
cultures. For example, Omotik, a language spoken in East Africa, has only 50 live speakers.There are also increasing fears in China, where the losing of musical and dance traditions, as well as traditional crafts, is causing concern to many. Some argue that it is hard to find differences between London and Tokyo. Young people, whose ideas are often influenced by Western or other popular cultures, often refuse or even give up the traditions their parents grew up with.
Others focus on the advantages of globalization. They accept that Western culture is spreading, but they also point to how Western countries and many other parts of the world are being shown to world cultures. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines and watch Korean movies. Thai teenagers enjoy pop music from Hong Kong. Many argue that there are
第15页（共23页）
advantages to these cross-cultural exchanges and that they lead to better understandings between cultures. They say world traditions are celebrated more widely because of these. Chinese New Year, now celebrated in most big cities around the world, is just one of the many festivals that are accepted internationally.
Anyway, many grass-roots organizations and governments are making efforts(努力) to protect their cultures. One successful example is Wales. There was a time when social pressures were killing off the Welsh language, but after years of efforts, it is now an active part of Welsh life again. Around the world, similar efforts are going on.
42. Which of the following is an OPINION according to the passage? ( C )
A. Omotik is a language spoken in East Africa. B. Young Americans enjoy Japanese comic magazines. C. The globalization of cultures is a chance to traditional ones.
D. Chinese New Year is now celebrated in most big cities around the world. 43. The underlined word “concern” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. ( A )
A. worries B. changes C. differences D. problems 44. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 3 refer to? ( C ) A. Advantages. B. World traditions. C. Cross-cultural exchanges. D. Better understandings, 45. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? ( D ) A. Culture Changes B. Threats to Culture C. Culture Protection D. Exchanges of Cultures

I want to stay a kid forever. I love my birthday, but I don’t want to be older. ---- Haddie, Washington The great thing about growing up is that it doesn’t happen all at once. Day after day, you’ll have new experiences which can be scary, but it can also be fun. When we feel sad about growing up, try thinking of all the things you hope to happen when you’re older. It’s good to enjoy being a kid, but you should know that some adults say they still feel like kids! I like fantastic books, and I’m thinking of writing one. But I don’t know how to begin. Please help! ---- Liam, Pennsylvania One idea is to list “top five” memories, such as your top five trips, funny things that happened at school and so on. Choose one of these for a story. Another idea is to imagine what book you’d like to write. As words pop into your mind, write them down. Then challenge yourself to write s story using all of those words.

Why? it has something to do with the quality of the toys. Companies are not allowed to lie. But they can try to make you believe that you want something. Keeping your eyes open for these marketing tricks（策略）.
Showing Famous Faces
Why is Simone Bile’s picture on your breakfast box? Why does Taylor Swift drink Diet Coke? They may love those products. But they’re also paid by those companies. Companies invite stars, and even cartoon characters to stand up for the products.
Forcing FOMO
FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out. If you think you won’t be able to get a product because it’s selling quickly, you’re more likely to rush to buy it. That’s why you see “limited edition（限量版）” products. Apple, for example, uses this rule when it gives out limited numbers of new photos to create shopping excitement.
Creating Collections
Think Shopkins. The company creates groups of products, like ice cream balls and teacups. Then it tries to advise you to buy them all to complete your collection. Many products have found success this way. Then they ended up in a box in your house. Ask yourself: Do I want this because I like it? Or am I just trying to collect more than my friends?
Playing Mind Games
Marketers want you to think that buying their product will change you in some way. They want you to thing “buying this brand（品牌）is going to make you cool, happy, or popular,” says Professor Ahern. Marketers try to control your view of the brand by using a story, imagery, music, or people. Then, whenever you’re about to buy something, they hope that image will pop into your mind, making you choose their product over anther.

The way we spend our time can be divided into three “bottles”. These are the necessary tasks bottle, the voluntary（自愿的）tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.
However, we often forget to fill the third bottle ---- the happiness bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.
This is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.
Will your activities bring joy to your life? Or are the other two tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you fill your three bottles. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness bottle is filled.
