• 11．One third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet，and half don't even have Internet access at home.In San Francisco， "the center of tech"，40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.
     This situation is becoming appalling as over 10，000 Americans turn 65 every single day.By 2050，22% of Americans will be 65 or older.Meanwhile，technology is developing very fast.This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.
     Many people believe that seniors aren't required to participate in our tech future because they'll be retired and relaxed soon.But this is the farthest thing from the truth.Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom：With more people getting older than ever before，their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically.With medical advancements，the number of American people projected to live into their 90's has doubled since 1965.
     However，they don't have strong financial or educational support.This is not a problem；it's a crisis.More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what's being called "forced retirement".And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones.For those fortunate enough to be employed，3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.
     The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy.If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis，they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today's tools and tomorrow's platforms.With every crisis comes an opportunity.Tutoring，customer service，editing，research，book-keeping，and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors.But again，digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy.So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "appalling" probably mean in paragraph2？

  
  A．Confusing.
  B．Terrible.
  C．Controllable.
  D．Inspiring.
  （2）What problem may baby boomers face？

  
  A．A crisis after retirement.
  B．Being knocked out in the future.
  C．Failing to receive good healthcare.
  D．Tending to double their life expediencies.
  （3）What is the last paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．The features of high-tech jobs.
  B．The way out for baby boomers.
  C．Potential industries in the future.
  D．The importance of developing technology.
  （4）What does the author advise baby boomers to do？

  
  A．Have a good sense of crisis.
  B．Avoid retiring at an early age.
  C．Look for many part-time jobs.
  D．Improve digital literacy actively.

• 12．Human is struggling to contain two major crises：Skyrocketing global temperatures and deep-diving biodiversity（生物多樣性多）.But people tend to solve each problem on its own，for instance by using green energies and carbon-cating machines，while surrounding ecosystems to preserve them.But a new report argues that treating each crisis in isolation（孤立地）means missing out on solutions that resolve both.Human can't solve one without also solving the other.
     So what might these solutions look like？Say，for instance，you turn a heavily logged forest into a national park.As the trees grow back，they would provide habitat for the return of animals .Letting a forest come back naturally，rather than planting a single species of tree to balance up some corporation's carbon emissions（排放），makes it recover faster.This is known as a nature-based solution，a campaign that both absorb carbon and provides an extra ecological or economic benefit.
     Stopping human's attacks on ecosystems can also help fight climate change，the study's authors write.Even cities can get in on the action，the report notes. Urban areas turn into "heat islands" because they absorb the sun's energy during the day and slowly release it at night.They are therefore much hotter than surrounding rural areas.Planting more trees cools cities and provides habitats for birds and shade for humans，which will be even more critical as global temperatures rise.
     The big threat，the authors stress，is that nature-based solutions alone can't stop climate change.As temperatures climb and droughts get more severe，it'll be harder for forests，wetlands，and mangroves to survive，even with our help.First and foremost，human has to dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. "Nature is not going to save us. " the authors say. "We can only use nature to support efforts. "
     "Still，governments and corporations are becoming more conscious of the importance of maintaining biodiversity while also fighting climate change，" says Beymer-Farris，from the University of Kentucky. "I，myself，as a professor who has been working in this for 20 years，I see a lot of prospects，because I see a lot of change on the horizon. "
  
  （1）How should we humans tackle the two crises based on the new research？

  
  A．Applying carbon-eating machines.
  B．Attaching more importance to one of them.
  C．Solving them in isolated ways.
  D．Coping with them in the meanwhile.
  （2）What figure of speech does the underlined sentence use in the third paragraph？

  
  A．Simile.
  B．Metaphor.
  C．personification.
  D．Irony.
  （3）What is Beymer-Farris's attitude to the future of the ecology"

  
  A．Negative.
  B．Skeptical.
  C．Ambiguous.
  D．Positive.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．How to fight climate change and protect species.
  B．New ways to live harmoniously with nature.
  C．Reasons for urban areas becoming "heat islands".
  D．Two major crises facing humans.

     This year，a dance drama titled Poetic Dance：The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting （《只此青綠》） was staged on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and became popular.
     According to CCTV，this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains （《千里江山圖》）.Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18，the painting is amazing in its sweeping size，rich coloration and the expressive details，reported CC TV.It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape： "mountains and groupings of infinite （無限的） rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling （漣漪的） water".

"It brings me a pure experience of beauty.It is not only a drama but also an exhibition.Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!" Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. "More than a thousand years later，green mountains and rivers still impress people as they did long ago." Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later.In fact，in recent years，more and more modern shows feature Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome.As for the reason，it is due to people's great love for traditional culture.
     "The younger generations have grown up with a more open mind.They accept Chinese culture and are proud of it." Yao Wei，director of Henan TV Station's Innovation Center，told China Daily.

第二節 （共1小題，每小題10分，滿分10分）

• 15．How to Raise a Child Who Loves Reading Give your kids good books to read.
     By "good" I mean quality literature that makes kids think，not just entertains them.Some books can be fun.（1）

  Keep away from lightweight （內容平庸的） books，because they may teach them to turn away from anything that makes their brains work too hard.A diet of lightweight books does not promote the patterns of thought that produce intellectual and personal excellence.
     （2）

  Kids love listening to their parents read，even as they get older，so don't stop reading aloud to your children just because they can read on their own.This is a perfect opportunity to challenge their abilities，vocabulary and worldviews by reading books.
     Remove distractions （使人分心的事物）.
     With hand-held devices （3）

  Parents should have these devices powered down and phones put away，and ask them to pull out their books.Once kids finally get into their books，it creates the same quiet，peaceful atmosphere home.
     Talk about books with your kids.
     （4）

  Ask every family member，even the youngest，what they have read that day and what they've learned from it.This will arouse discussion and debate about the issues raised in the books.
     Give our kids paper books，not e-books.
     Studies have shown children keep information better when they read it on paper，as opposed to a screen，so avoid giving your child e-books to read.A paper book allows them to create a relationship with the book，to reread and to become familiar with a book's feel and smell.（5）

  
  
  A．Read aloud to your kids.
  B．Take chances to challenge your kids.
  C．That's where parental responsibility comes in.
  D．All these are very real parts of the reading experience.
  E．Parents should inform their kids of the harmfulness of hand-held devices.
  F．The dinner table is a great place to start reflective conversations about books.
  G．But it's important to teach kids to appreciate books that may take effort to consume.
