1．Our favorite tech gifts of 2019 When it comes time for the holiday shopping season，we're extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family．Here's what impressed editors，reporters and producers the most in 2019．
Lumos Matrix
I recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet （頭盔）（＄229）with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful．It's a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you，especially when it's dark．This definitely helps．
- Matt mcfarland，Writer Goodreads app
Although this isn't a gift，the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger．At the beginning of 2019，I promised myself I'd read at least one new book every month．I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress，keep a list of books I'm interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending．I read 35 books this year! （That's up from five books last year．） Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks．
- Kaya Yurieff，Tech Reporter Ember coffee cup
I drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it．For my birthday，my mum bought me a cup （＄99），which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating．I can also set the specific temperature I want．It makes my mornings so much easier．
- Millie Dent，Intern

2．Every year，the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world's largest pre-college science competition，the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair （ISEF）．They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live．
One of 2019's winners，Katie Lu，found a method for removing oil from water．This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well．
Here is what Katie told reporters：
My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing!I remember on judging day，walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in．My teacher turned to me and said， "That's the future right there．" It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future．
My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help．It's really easy to be overwhelmed （挫?。?and wonder if what you're doing is going to work out，but even if it doesn't，it's OK!Always look on the positive side!A failure now doesn't mean you're a failure forever．Failure makes success feel earned when it comes．Also，asking for help is good when you're struggling．You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently．
I'm shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change．It is real，it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation．Reducing carbon emissions isn't a "should"，it is a "must" to continue living on the planet．Additionally，people aren't really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering，overusing plastic or wasting resources．If we don't curb harmful human activity before it's too late，it will be a problem that affects all humans，not just those that contribute．
（1）What seems to concern Katie most？
A．Ocean exploration．
B．The overpopulation on the earth．
C．Environmental problems．
D．The shortage of natural energy．
（2）What can we learn from what Katie's teacher said？
A．No Intel ISEF，no future．
B．All the talents are at the Intel ISEF．
C．The participants will make the future amazing．
D．Katie should try to do better than the other participants．
（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us？
A．The setbacks Katie experienced in her science．
B．The relationship between failure and success．
C．Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well．
D．What Katie has gained from her scientific career．
（4）What does the underlined word "curb" in the last paragraph most probably mean？
A．Punish．
B．Control．
C．Deny．
D．Measure．組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．The Underwater Photographer of the Year，which originated from 1965，is a yearly contest based in the United Kingdom．As you might expect，the focus is on photos taken under water，whether in the ocean，in lakes or rivers，or even swimming pools．
The pictures are judged in several different categories．The contest in 2019 had over 5，500 entries from 70 different countries．
The grand prize winner was "Frozen Mobile Home" by French photographer Greg Lecoeur．The photo shows seals swimming around a small iceberg．To get the picture，Mr．Lecoeur traveled to Antarctica in a small boat and spent time tracking the life around floating icebergs．
The photo "Last Dawn，Last Gasp" by Pasquale Vassallo of Italy won the award for Ocean Protection Photographer of the Year．Mr．Vassallo said that he went diving early in the morning to take this picture of a tuna （金槍魚） trapped as fishermen pulled their nets in．
Mr．Vassallo also took "Octopus Training"，a picture that won in the category of "Behavior"．He says that when he came up after a dive，he noticed a soccer ball floating on the surface．When he went to check it out，he saw that there was an octopus hanging from the ball．Mr．Vassallo says he doesn't understand what the octopus was doing，but wonders if it was training for the World Cup．
Though Rooman Luc of Belgium didn't win the "Portrait" category，his photo，titled "Angry Seahorse"，is quite striking．The close-up shot of a seahorse staring strictly into the camera was named runner up （second place）．He said he spent nearly an hour standing in knee-high water being bitten by mosquitos in order to get the picture．
The contest has many more amazing photos that can be viewed on the site，along with the stories behind them．There is even a book with all of the contents that can be downloaded for free．

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文．續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右．
An anxious call came into Jimmy Gilleece's bar．A newly married woman，who had spent the afternoon at the bar，couldn't find her wallet．She didn't care about her ID，credit cards，or ＄150 in cash-but her wedding ring was inside．
Gilleece didn't like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place．So he set out to find the wallet．He spent hours looking through security-camera videos，watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a chair outside and left when her ride arrived．Within minutes，a young man approached the bench，slipped something into his pocket，and walked off．Gilleece posted a clip （剪輯） on the bar's Facebook page． "I didn't want to punish him，" he said． "I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was．"
Within hours，Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Prather，who admitted having taken the wallet and told Gilleece he'd done it because he hadn't eaten in two days．He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake （假的），so he took the money and threw the wallet off the dock （碼頭） into the ocean．Then he bought a sandwich．
Gilleece，unsure whether he believed Prather，told the teen to meet him at the dock，where they got talking and Prather revealed that he wasn't getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week．Judging from Prather's small body and red cheeks，Gilleece saw him for what he was：more of a kid than a criminal．
But the police were already on the case，and because of the missing ring，Prather could be facing charges． "He would be going to big boy prison．I have to help him somehow，" Gilleece thought．
Para．1：Gilleece paid two divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet．________
Para．2：Then suddenly a diver came up to the surface of the water．________組卷：19引用：2難度：0.6
