2．Scientists often compare coral reefs to underwater rainforests，yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest，corals are animals.The soft organs inside the hard parts of corals are naturally transparent and get （1）
（they） famously brilliant color from algae（藻類）living inside them.
When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or（2）（pollute），they end their interdependent relationship with this algae，typically forcing them out（3）turning white，though one recent study indicates some corals turn a bright neon color when stressed.Corals are still alive when they bleach（白化），but they're （4）risk-essentially immunocompromised（免疫功能低下）-and many （5）（eventual） starve and die，turning a dark brown.
People first noticed coral bleaching events in the 1980s.The problem worsened in 2016，when an El Nino weather pattern，（6）causes warmer waters in the Pacific Ocean， （7）（mix） with an already unseasonably warm ocean and killed off a third of the corals on the Great Barrier Reef.Since then，roughly half the corals on Australia's famous reefs （8）（die） in following bleaching events，risking an underwater landscape 1，500 miles long.
Scientists around the world are looking for all kinds of ways to protect and maybe even revive corals.One option is （9）（create） more marine protected areas-essentially national parks in the ocean.Scientists say creating marine shelter，where fishing，mining，and recreating are off limits，makes the reefs （10）（healthy），and so much stronger.組卷：10引用：2難度：0.9 -
3．What does "barking （犬吠） up the wrong tree" mean？In this article，let's learn the （1）
（express）.
The phrase "barking up the wrong tree" means （2）（follow） a mistaken plan of action.The phrase comes from the old hunting （捕獵） practice in which dogs would bark to show they have made other animals up trees unable （3）（run） away.Sometimes the dogs were mistaken，and the animals had （4）（actual） run away.When this happened，the dogs were barking up the wrong tree.
This phrase first began appearing in（5）（write） works after the 1820s，and was later widely used by western wrjye.aiers.It was used to describe anyone（6）was following a wrong lead.
Below is an example of how to use the phrase.Recently（7）friend of mine needed a large amount of money （8）his new business idea.So he went to an event to meet possible investors （投資者）.However，the people he met（9）（be） those also looking for money.Then we can say that he was barking up the wrong tree!
When using the phrase，avoid （10）（mistake） in spelling.For example，don't write as "barking up the wrong tree".組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．Being an expert on stress，Dr.King believes people in all walks of life（1）
from stress at some point in their lives，from teachers，doctors（2）the police.He thinks there are different （3）（cause） of the pressure.For example，students with lots of homework can feel（4）（stress） when they don't have enough time to finish the tasks.Meanwhile，to some（5），social pressure can also be source of stress，like going to the parties for the shy people.They may find social situations very（6）（stress）.Dr King suggests some ways（7）（remove） the tension，such as eating well and （8）（exercise） often.Finally，he advises people who can't handle their problems （9）（proper） to seek （10）（profession） help.組卷：7引用：1難度：0.9
三、閱讀理解（共三節(jié)，40分）第一節(jié)（共3小題；每小題6分，共18分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

5．It started during a yoga class．She felt a strange pull on her neck，a feeling completely foreign to her．Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room．It turned out that she was having a heart attack．
She didn't share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack．She exercised，
watched her plate and did not smoke．But on reviewing her medical history，I found that her cholesterol （膽固醇）level was sky-high．She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin （他汀） medication，but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet．She was the victim of fake medical news．
While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics，medical misinformation might
lead to an increase in deaths．As is true with fake news in general，medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet-and they have very real bad consequences．
False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the"nocebo effect．Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention （干預(yù)） simply because they believe they will-that's the placebo effect （安慰劑效應(yīng)）．The nocebo effect is the opposite．Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them．This is very true of statins．In blinded trials，patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo．Yet，in clinical practice，according to one study，almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects，leading many to discontinue the drugs．
What else is on the fake news hit list？As always，vaccines （疫苗）．False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates．
Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation-many of whom refuse alternative therapies． "Though most people think cancer tumors are bad，they're actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells，" one fake news story reads．It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations （變異）．
Silicon Valley needs to face this problem．I am not a free-speech lawyer，but when human health is at
risk，perhaps search engines，social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information．Meanwhile，journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information．
（1）We can learn from Paragraph 2 that．
A．the woman paid little attention to her daily diets
B．the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman's heart attack
C．the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the woman
D．the woman didn't take the prescription due to fake medical news
（2）According to the passage，the placebo effect functions because patients．
A．neglect necessary treatment

B．He is good at speaking because of his job．
C．He is available to give a speech on the law．
D．He is very cautious when speaking something．
（4）Which of the followings may be the author's attitude to vaccines？
A．It is not necessary．
B．It is harmful to health．
C．It can protect us from getting some diseases．
D．It can cause severe side effects．
（5）The main purpose of the passage is to．
A．warn us against fake medical news on the Internet
B．remind us to take medication as prescribed
C．encourage journalists to report more positive news events
D．teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5 -

7．Engineers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a new way to program robots to help people with dementia（癡呆）locate medicine，glasses，phones and other objects they need but have lost.
And while the initial focus is on assisting a specific group of people，the technology could someday be used by anyone who has searched high and low for something they've misplaced.
"The long-term impact of this is really exciting，" said Dr.Ali Ayub，a post-doctoral fellow in electrical and computer engineering. "A user can be involved not just with a companion robot but a personalized companion robot that can give them more independence."
Ayub and three colleagues were struck by the rapidly rising number of people coping with dementia.Many of these individuals repeatedly forget the location of everyday objects，which diminishes their quality of life and places additional burdens on caregivers.
Engineers believed a companion robot with an occasional memory of its own could be a game-changer in such situations.And they succeeded in using artificial intelligence to create a new kind of artificial memory.
The research team began with a Fetch mobile user robot，which has a camera for perceiving the world around it.Next，using an object-detection system，they programmed the robot to detect，track and keep a memory log of specific objects in its camera view through stored video.With the robot capable of distinguishing one object from another，it can record the time and date objects enter or leave its view.Researchers then developed a picture interface to enable users to choose objects they want to be tracked and，after typing the objects' names，search for them on a smartphone app or computer.Once that happens，the robot can indicate when and where it last observed the specific object.
Tests have shown the system is highly accurate.And while some individuals with dementia might find the technology worrying，Ayub said caregivers could readily use it.Moving forward，researchers will conduct user studies with people without disabilities，then people with dementia.
（1）What is the technology about according to Paragraph 1？
A．Robots can help fetch objects that people need.
B．Robots can help find objects people have lost.
C．Robots can locate the lost people with dementia.
D．Robots can accompany people with dementia.
（2）What does the underlined word"diminishes"in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．Improves.
B．Adjusts.
C．Highlights.
D．Reduces.
（3）What is the basic and most important part of the technology？
A．A new artificial memory.
B．A friendly companion robot.
C．The object-detection camera.
D．The lost objects' names.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the future of this technology？
A．Disapproving.
B．Challenging.
C．Optimistic.
D．Doubtful.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.3

8．Food is a deeply rooted expression of identity，values and ways of life.（1）
That is，eating is an element of common ground in terms of human existence and an experience that brings people together.Food is family treasure in the way recipes are passed on from one generation to another，maintaining family connection and cultural and geographical ancestral links.
Food is an expression.What we cook is an expression of who we are and where we come from.（2）The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry.Every destination has a dish or cuisine associated with it，which is fixed on culture and identity.
You may not know it，but that is why experiencing the local dishes of a new place usually tops one's to-do list in a foreign land.Eating a local dish is a way to connect with the local people.（3）
Food is symbolic.Home is where the heart is and in sensory response to food，familiar flavor arouses homesickness.（4）The ordinary smell of food takes one back to particular times in the past.The beautiful and merry essence of eating with family and friends from home adds to the pleasant tastes of meals.
（5）Food and food habits serve as a culture channel of display of affection and emotional association and the sharing of delicious，nutritional food signals a bridge of closeness and acceptance.
A.Accepting food is hard.
B.Eating food is a universal experience.
C.Food is largely cultural as well as nutritional.
D.Food is therefore a reminder of fond memories of home.
