• 11．An international team of astronomers in Washington D.C.announced Wednesday it had successfully captured the first-ever image of a black hole and published it.
     The picture shows the black hole having a dark center，encircled by a bright orange and yellow ring spreading outward.Black holes are areas in space where gravity is so strong that nothing-not even light-can escape them.They are believed to be formed by collapsed（隕落的）stars.The presence of black holes affects the surrounding environment in extreme ways. They are not easy to capture on camera because they are surrounded by thick dust material and extremely hot gases.
     But scientists say they were able to produce the new image from data collected from a series of radio telescopes around the world.Harvard University scientist Sheperd Doeleman，who leads the Event Horizon Telescope （EHT） project，announced the image discovery. "We are delighted to be able to report today that we have seen what we thought was unseeable.We have also taken a picture of it." He explained that the image resulted from a combined effort involving all eight of the EHT radio telescopes working at the same time.It has a mass 6.5 billion times greater than Earth's sun.
     Researchers said that the EHT project created an Earth-sized "virtual telescope" to capture the highest possible image quality.The size and shape of the shadow matches the precise predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
     Sheperd Doeleman said the new image provides the first visual evidence to confirm that theory.It also helps to unlock the mystery of black holes. "We didn't see something that was unexpected.We saw something that really had a ring to it."
     Even though the data was first gathered in 2017，it required a huge effort to produce the image published on Wednesday.
  
  （1）Which is TRUE about the black hole？

  
  A．It has a dark surface.
  B．It consists of thick dust.
  C．It is visible o the eye.
  D．It swallows everything approaching it.
  （2）What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．Black holes.
  B．Collapsed stars.
  C．Extreme ways.
  D．Hot gases.
  （3）How did scientists get the image？

  
  A．By collecting available data.
  B．Through the cooperation of radio telescopes.
  C．With the help of a huge camera.
  D．From Einstein's general theory of relativity.
  （4）What does the image discovery contribute to？

  
  A．Uncovering the secret of black holes.
  B．Confirming people's visual evidence theory.
  C．Testing the function of virtual telescopes.
  D．Providing first-hand evidence of astronomers.

• 12．Every day around the world，thousands of people with little or no scholarly training in art history walk into museums.They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists.Imagine，before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls，museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist.How many people would go to museums if that were the case？
     Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature.Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions，which often include spoilers，assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover，be absorbed in，and be surprised by the story world.Also，evidently，we mustn't read classics alone，without experts guiding our experiences.
     However，classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we're not alone in our pains and joys.By taking us out of our time，classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place.What could be more grounding，more comforting，than seeing ourselves in the battles，longings，and pleasures that have played out across hundreds，thousands of years of human history？Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world.We may，for example，feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we feel hopeless of the world she lived in.
     While we're letting go of things，let's stop worrying about understanding everything.We can't.It will be fun if we embrace curiosity，the pleasure of working out a mystery，and our common relationships as humans.We can feel，for example，the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.
  
  （1）Most museum goers

  .
  A．enjoy reading notice boards
  B．understand the artworks well
  C．lack professional art knowledge
  D．share common interest in artworks
  （2）What can the spoilers in Paragraph 2 possibly be？

  
  A．Story writers.
  B．Readers' expectations.
  C．Guiding experts.
  D．Content given away in advance.
  （3）What prevents readers from enjoying reading classics？

  
  A．Showing curiosity about the writers.
  B．Letting go of things.
  C．Trying to understand everything.
  D．Working out mysteries.
  （4）What message is mainly conveyed in the passage？

  
  A．We should find more fun from classics.
  B．Reading classics is a personal exploration.
  C．Experts need to give readers better guidance.
  D．Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.

• 13．We've all heard the danger of helicopter parenting.Remaining too involved in a kid's life，especially throughout college，can lead to depression，lack of self-reliance and some other mental problems.
     This wisdom seems sound.But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance.The concern：that too much of warnings and horror stories- the cover of Julie Lytheott-Haims' bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid "the overparenting trap"—is discouraging parents from getting Involved all.
     "Yes，parents can be intruders（unpopular people），" says Marjorie Savage，a researcher in the University of Minnesota. "At the same time，there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students truly need their family." At Hofstra University，for example，parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources，as if bringing up those topics were forbidden，says Branka Kristic，who heads the family-outreach programs.And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son's signs of depression until right before he failed a semester.She did not want to "helicopter in".
     That means colleges，which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved，now have a different problem.In recent years，hundreds of colleges have either set or increased their parent offices，which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to complain，report problems and generally stay in touch.
     Much of this began，of course，because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before.On average，they communicate 22.1 times per week，according to research from Barbara Hofer，a psychology professor at Middlebury College.That's more than twice the rate of a decade ago，before almost every student had a smartphone.
     With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place，some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach，often through email and other social media Hofstra's Kristic advises parents to "be a guide，while granting that the student owns the journey.That means asking questions，listening to answers，being patient and trusting kids to solve their own problems.But if issues continues，or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger，it also means hopping in the chopper at least for a little while.
  
  （1）In paragraph 3，parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to

  .
  A．show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparenting
  B．provide educators with a new understanding of overparenting
  C．give a further example of supportive overparenting
  D．place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting
  （2）The phrase "hopping in the chopper" in the last paragraph refers to

  .
  A．having trust in kids
  B．stepping in to solve kids' problems
  C．joining a family-outreach program
  D．turning to social media for help
  （3）What can be inferred from the passage？

  
  A．Mental-health and campus-safety resources are forbidden topics among parents.
  B．How to Raise an 4 dull encourages parents to get engaged in family education.
  C．Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students' self-reliance.
  D．There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Why Colleges Need Helicopter Parents
  B．How to Improve Parent-school Relations
  C．Why Overparenting Is in Question
  D．How to Communicate More as Parents

• 14．There are many things we remember from our childhood-the games we played，the music we listened to，but what about earning pocket money？This was our first ever wage for completing tasks such as tidying our bedroom or sorting the laundry.Our reward was a handful of coins that we safely stored.（1）

  
     There was a time when cash was the main currency for financial transactions（交易）.These days，though，using credit cards，or making cashless payments，are the most convenient ways of paying.（2）

  Research has found that 84% of British parents currently give notes and coins to their children-usually 7 pounds a week as an allowance.
     But banks predict that by 2028 only one in ten transactions will be with cash，and that is something today's children will have to deal with.One issue is that children may not understand the value of cash because they never see it.（3）

  They either should find a new way to hand out pocket money，or needn't bother to pay it at all.
     Still，solutions are available.Giving children lessons at school about finance is important.（4）

  The trick is to go and get some coins so that children have the opportunity to interact with them.Besides，bank accounts for older children can be opened to give them cash cards to use.Whatever method a parent chooses to adopt，their children will get some idea of the value of pocket money.（5）

  .
  
  A.Parents face a dilemma too.
  B.This，in turn，makes the buying much easier.
  C.They have completely taken the place of cash.
  D.So how do parents hand out pocket money at present？
  E.But parents need to teach their kids that money doesn't grow on trees!
  F.But now，it seems that parents' attitude to handing out cash is changing.
  G.And parents are advised to get children started with money as young as possible.
