Better still：Unlike many other home security projectsthe SimCam requires no monthly payments—buy itfix itand you’re setIt uses SD cards rather than a cloud service for storing video and imagesNot only does this remove the need for cloud feesit also protects your privacy as photos and video of your home are not being sent and stored elsewhere
The campaign has already blown past its funding goals on Kickstarter(currently at over 200000well beyond its original 30000 target)．If you’re looking to improve your home security setup and are in the market for a new Wi­Fi camera or two to protect your castlethen take an immediate action

You return from work on an August eveningYour unwashed teenage son is on the sofa watching TVas he has been doing for the past eight hoursYour daughterglued to the iPadacknowledges your presence with a grunt(咕哝)．Not for the first timeyou ask yourself：Why are school summer holidays so insufferably long
This is a more serious question than it soundsMany children will return from the long break having forgotten much of what they were taught the previous yearOne study found that this summer learning loss could be as high as a quarter of the year’s educationPoor children tend to be the worst affectedsince rich ones typically live in homes full of books and are packed off to summer camp to learn roboticsLatin or pianoA study from Baltimore found that variations(差) in summer loss might possibly account for two­thirds of the achievement gap between rich and poor children by the age of 14­15Long holidays surely strain the budgets of poor familiessince free school meals stop and extra child care kicks in
More time in school need not mean repeating the same old lessonsSome extra practice would be beneficialparticularly for those falling behindBut the summer could also be a time for different kinds of learning：critical thinkingpractical skillsinternship(实)—schools should be free to experimentSpace should not be a problemMany school buildings sit vacant in the summer
Well­off children often already use the summer to broaden their minds and polish their college applications at pricy camps or doing summer jobs found through connectionsSchools should help the rest catch upOther public services do not simply disappear for a quarter of the yearIt would be unthinkable for hospitals or the police to do soSo why do schools get away with it
1．Paragraph 2 mainly discusses the different influence of ________ on children’s summer learning loss．
A．finance B．intelligence
C．culture D．activities
2．What could schools do during summer holidays
A．Reviewing previous lessons
B．Offering various internship

3．What does the author suggest by mentioning hospitals and the police in the last paragraph

B．Schools should remain in service during summer holidays
C．Children could take advantage of public service for summer jobs
D．Some functions of hospitals and the police could be served in schools

I’m sitting in my kitchen in Londontrying to figure out a text message from my brotherHe lives in our home country of GermanyWe speak German to each othera language that’s rich in strange wordsbut I’ve never heard this one before fremdschämen
This experience gets me to consider can we lose our mother tongue Most immigrants know what it’s like to be not as good at their mother tongue as beforeThe process seems obvious the longer you are awaythe more your language suffersBut it’s not quite so straightforwardIt turns out that how long you’ve been away doesn’t always matterSocialising with other native speakers abroad can worsen your own native skillsAnd emotional factors like trauma (精神创伤) can be the biggest factor of all
In childrenthe phenomenon of language attrition (语言磨蚀) is somewhat easier to explain since their brains are generally more flexible and adaptableUntil the age of about 12a person’s language skills are relatively easy to changeStudies on international adoptees have found that even nine­year­olds can almost completely forget their first language when they are removed from their country of birth
But in adultsthe first language is unlikely to disappear entirely except in extreme circumstancesFor examplelinguist Monika Schmid analysed the German of elderly German­Jewish wartime refugees (难民)in the UK and the USThe main factor that influenced their language skills wasn’t how long they had been abroad or how old they were when they leftIt was how much trauma they had experienced as victimsThose who left Germany in the early days of Nazi occupationbefore the worst violencetended to speak better German—despite having been abroad the longestThose who left later tended to speak German with difficulty or not at all
It seemed very clearly a result of this trauma says SchmidEven though German was the language of childhoodhome and familyit was also the language of painful memoriesThe most traumatised refugees had held back themAs one of them saidI feel that Germany betrayed meAmerica is my countryand English is my language
1．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on
A．How two languages coexist
B．The way to deal with adults’ trauma
C．The reason behind adults’ language attrition
D．Whether trauma leads to adults’ language attrition
2．Why does trauma cause a person’s mother tongue to disappear
A．Because his country betrays his trust
B．Because his communication ability is affected
C．Because he can’t remember his mother tongue
D．Because he chooses to escape from bad experiences
3．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Who will lose the native language
B．Can you lose your native language
C．How does trauma affect your first language
D．How far are you from your mother tongue

A new study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine suggests that getting out of bed when you can’t sleep might prevent your sleepless night from becoming chronic insomnia(慢性失眠)．
After monitoring the sleep habits of 416 participants for one yearresearchers found that night owls who restricted their time in bed were more likely to sleep soundly once they did fall asleepThose who remained in bed when they couldn’t sleepon the other handwere more likely to develop chronic insomnia
While this advice may seem counterintuitive at firstit makes sense once you understand what causes your sleeplessnessThose with insomnia typically extend their sleep opportunity said Michael PerlisPhDThey go to bed earlyget out of bed lateand they napWhile this seems a reasonable thing to doand may well be in the short termthe problem in the longer term is that it creates a mismatch between the individual’s current sleep ability and their current sleep opportunitythis fuels insomniaThese seemingly harmless habits could be causing your insomniatoo
So if you’re struggling to fall asleep at nighttry getting out of bed and using that time to read a book or write in a journalNot only could you fall asleep in just an hourbut you will also do so faster and sleep better than if you had just stayed in bedPerlis told Real SimpleAnd try to resist the urge to take a nap or sleep in the next daypowering through can help you fall asleep the following night
1．What does the underlined word counterintuitive in paragraph 3 mean
A．Contrary to common belief
B．Unlike anything else
C．Similar to first reaction
D．Beyond wildest imagination
2．What’s Perlis’s advice for a sleepless night
A．Get out of bed
B．Remain in bed
C．Keep wide awake
D．Take a nap
3．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To promote a healthy lifestyle
B．To introduce a new finding

The world is a greener place than it was 20 years agoand a study based on data from NASA satellites has showed a source for much of this new greening phenomenon China and IndiaChina and India account for one­third of the greeningbut contain only 9 of the planet’s land area covered in vegetation(植)．
When the greening of the Earth was first observedwe thought it was due to a warmerwetter climate and added carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphereleading to more leaf growth in northern forestsNowwith the datawe see that humans are contributing much said Rama Nemania co­author of the studyChina’s outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part (42) from programs to conserve and expand forestsThese were developed in an effort to reduce the effects of soil erosionair pollution and climate changeAnother 32 there—82 of the greening seen in India—comes from intensive(集约) growing of food crops
Howeverresearchers point out that the greening in the future depends on numerous aspectsboth on a global level and the local human levelFor exampleincreased crop production in India is promoted by groundwater irrigationIf the groundwater is running outits crop production will be on the decreaseleading to less greening
The gain in greenness seen around the world and led by China and India does not offset the damage from loss of natural vegetation in tropical regionssuch as Brazil and IndonesiaThe consequences for sustainability(持续性) and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain
Nemani is pretty excited about the findingsnot just because the greenerthe betterOnce people realize there’s a problemthey tend to fix it he saidIn the 70s and 80s in India and Chinathe situation around vegetation loss wasn’t good in the 90speople realized it and today things have improvedHumans are unbelievably adaptable
7．Which is the main reason for the Earth’s getting greener
A．The expanding of leaf area in northern forests
B．Warmer and wetter climate in China and India
C．Favorable weather and increased CO2 in the air
D．Tree­planting programs and intensive agriculture
8．What does the underlined word offset in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Prevent B．Balance
C．Interrupt D．Survive
9．How does Nemani find the findings
A．They are a positive indicator of human nature
B．They convey that the greenerthe better
C．They show humans prefer to fix their mistakes
D．They are consistent with his expectation

For the first time in the Pew Research Center’s historysocial media have replaced print newspapers as Americans’ main news sourcewith 20 percent of adults surveyed reporting they rely on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter for the latest updatesIn contrastjust 16 percent consider print newspapers as their most frequented medium
These findings reflect the much­discussed decline of print mediaas well as the rise of digital news sourcesStillPew’s researcher Elisa Shearer notes that television remains dominant (占优势) across all mediumswith 49 percent of respondents—down 8 percent from 2016—reporting they learn the news mainly by watching localcable and network news showsNews websites finish second overallclaiming the attention of 33 percent of Americansan increase of 5 percent since 2016Radio comes in third at 26 percentfollowed by social media andlastlyprint newspapers
Pew’s director of journalism researchAmy Mitchellwrites that the new findingswhich are based on a survey of 3425 U．Sadults conducted between July 30 and August 122018point toward Americans’ preference for watching rather than reading or listening to the newsTelevision remains the preferred viewing platform among watchersbut a growing minority (20 percent) say they prefer streaming news videos online
Unsurprisinglyconsumption habits varied dramatically according to ageAbout 80 percent of individuals 65 and older regard television as their most frequented news sourcecompared to just 16 percent of those aged 18 to 29 and 36 percent of those aged 30 to 49
Younger Americans also tend to draw on a variety of platformsShearer writes that no more than half of those aged 18 to 29 or 30 to 49 find their news through a single mediuminstead opting for a mixture of news websitessocial mediaTVradio and—in fewer numbers—print media

The concept of forgiveness has always remained a vital topic in spiritualityIn recent yearsmore and more research has come out proving its benefits backed by scienceIn a study conducted by the National University of Singapore and Rotterdam School of ManagementErasmus University (RSM)researchers divided 160 university students into two groupsThe experiment began with a writing exercise during which the first group were asked to write about a person who they forgaveThe second wrote about a situation where they did not forgive another person and still felt bitter
After the writing exercisethe researchers measured how high each participant could jump in centimetersThe results found that those who had written about forgiveness jumped higheron averagethan those who focused on negative(消极) feelingsA state of being unforgiving is like carrying a heavy burdena burden that victims bring with them when they face the physical worldForgiveness can lighten this burden the team explains
The benefits of forgiveness may go beyond the constructive consequences that have been discovered in the psychological and health fields writes Xue Zheng of RSMOur research shows that forgivers perform better on challenging physical tasks
In additionthe study noted that holding on to grudges can increase deep thinkingwhich may decrease the availability of cognitive(认知) resources that can otherwise be used to deal with physical challenges such as jumping or climbing a hillIn other wordsfocusing on negative thoughts about someone who has harmed us takes up energy that would otherwise be better spent elsewhere
So if you find yourself carrying that feelingconsider this By holding on to the pain of the pastwe bear that burden on ourselvesBy replacing anger with positive feelings of understanding and sympathy for the one who has hurt uswe get rid of the heavy burden of anger weighing on the mind and body
4．What were the second group asked to write about
A．Cases where they got lasting hurt
B．Pleasure they were happy to share
C．Someone who once helped them out
D．Lessons they learnt from their experiences
5．How did the researchers conduct their study
A．By comparing information collected
B．By giving challenging physical tasks
C．By holding high jump competitions
D．By interviewing some university students
6．Which does the underlined word grudges in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A．appreciation B．tolerance
C．hate D．suffering
7．What does the author advise readers to do at last
A．Be positive about the future
B．Hope for the best
C．Reduce the working burden
D．Let go of your pain

Human rights groups have long depended on pictures and videos as proof during investigations(调查)．Amnesty International is one of the world’s largest human rights organizationsIt carries out investigations across the world in an effort to find human rights abusesThe investigations attempt to inform the public and influence governments to take action to protect human rightsAmnesty also often collects and checks videos or photos as a research method
In many casesthese materials come from social media servicesImages posted on social media can greatly strengthen human rights investigations if they prove trueThe barrier facing the organization is that images found on the Internet can be misrepresented for propaganda (宣传) purposesThey can also be changed in an attempt to play a trick on the public
There are an increasing number of tools people can use to create false photos and videosMany of these tools have been used to make videos known as deepfakes．The name deepfake comes from the mixture of deep learning and fakebased on artificial intelligenceor AIA deepfake video is one that looks realbut was electronically changedSuch videos can make people appear to say or do things that never actually happenedDeepfake videos can be created with computer programs available for sale or downloaded free from the InternetThe technology uses face mapping and AI to produce false video images that look very real
To help fight this problemAmnesty created a special team called the Digital Verification Corps to examine photos and videos found on the InternetIt includes about 100 student volunteers from six universities around the worldThe team is trained to use the latest technology tools and methods to discover false videos and picturesIn some casesimages might not have been falsifiedbut did not happen at the time and place that were claimed
The flood of videos and photos being shared on social media has been a complete game changer for human rights investigationsThus the Digital Verification Corps is important to the organization’s work
8．What problem is Amnesty International facing
A．Images on the Internet are becoming less reliable
B．Many pictures and videos are being used illegally
C．It lacks professionals to collect pictures and videos
D．Some human rights groups reject online images as proof
9．What can be inferred from paragraph 3

Being able to take advantage of truly unlimited data is a smartphone user’s dreambut everyone I’ve talked to about 5G is more excited about the usage unlocked by next­generation wireless devicesFrom smart home security to self­driving carsall the Internet­connected equipment in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning­fast speed with reduced latency(延迟)．
5G is one of those forerunnersalong with artificial intelligenceof this coming data age said Steve Koenigsenior director of market research for the Consumer Technology AssociationSelf­driving vehicles are emblematic in this data age—they show application of data completelyWith one single task—drivingyou have large amounts of data coming from the vehicle itselfand a variety of sensors (传感器) are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it movesIt’s pulling in data from other vehicles about conditions down the roadThere’s lots of data behind that taskwhich is why we need the speed and lower latency
AR glasses and virtual(虚拟) reality headphones haven’t yet been inside the mainstreambut tech companies are joyfully laying that such equipment will eventually replace our smartphonesWith 5Gthat could actually happenThis is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to improve—or even replace—smartphones
Ericsson showed at February’s Mobile World Congress in 2019 how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connectionbecause instead of being weighed down with componentsthe glasses could rely on outside equipment for processing power
But don’t get too excitedThere’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantimeincluding some necessary testing to make sure the radio plays nicely with basic systems and service construction so that 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities
1．What does the first paragraph focus on
A．The super speed of 5G
B．Potential of 5G
C．Usage of smart equipment
D．The future of smart equipment
2．Which word can replace emblematic underlined in paragraph 2
A．available B．productive
C．symbolic D．popular
3．What is tech companies’ attitude towards the replacement of smartphones
A．Uncertain B．Optimistic
C．Cautious D．Disapproving
4．Why does much work still need to be done according to the last paragraph
A．To make radio play nicely
B．To construct big 5G cities
C．To do 5G trials effectively
D．To expand 5G coverage fully

Research shows that some orchestral (弦乐) instruments are in danger of dying outYouGov researchasked by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) to find the most popular instruments among schoolchildrenhas revealed the increasing popularity of the ukulele(尤克里里琴)with one in eight expressing a desire to learnmaking it the highest ranked instrument behind the typical rock­band grouping of the guitarpianokeyboardsdrums and bass guitar
But younger generations’ interest in more complex instruments is decreasingwith the three least popular being the French hornthe double bass and the trombone
James Williamsmanaging director of the RPObelieved the changes reflect the increasing pressure schools are under to provide music educationand went on to say that more needs to be done to interest secondary school students in the wider range of instrumentsHis concern was for the composition of future orchestrasshould the trend towards instruments like rock­band grouping be allowed to continueBut there may be yet another deathone that few would be quick to sorrow over the recorder (竖笛)．
Cheapconvenienteasy to learnand suitable for individual and group performancesthe recorder was once the popular instrument for children’s early musical educationBut in many schools it has been replaced by the ukulelewhichfor teachersoffers many of the same benefits with none of the lasting damage to hearingPlusfrom a student’s viewpointyou can play Metallica on one
Not all hope is lost for the cream­colored10­pound Yamaha recorder with a long historyhoweverAbout 13 of girls and 4 of boys surveyed by YouGov said they wanted to learn the recorderSurprisingly high Unlikely as it may bethese children’s interest in the recorder must be encouraged

5．What does YouGov research suggest
A．The ukulele is the most popular with students
B．Schoolchildren determine the popularity of music
C．Orchestral instruments will disappear in the future
D．Students generally prefer rock­band instruments
6．What can we do to save orchestral instruments according to Williams
A．Stop teaching children to play rock and roll
B．Find means to inspire students’ interest in them
C．Offer free orchestral instruments to the public
D．Spend more school time on the music education
7．Why has the ukulele replaced the recorder widely
A．Because it is much cheaper and easier to learn
B．Because the music played on it is more appealing
C．Because it stands for the world’s music tendency
D．Because users can enjoy more advantages from it
8．What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A．It’s time for younger learners to save music
B．Many children choose recorders as expected
C．Recorders still have the potential for a bright future
D．We should respect children’s choices for instruments

Ask a man in the street what education is forand an immediate response might be for equipping young people with the skills to get a job．Wellyesbut is education not about a lot more than that
IndeedI would argue that it is because our British education holds a higher ideal (理想)—equipping young people with self­confidence and an understanding of the world around them—that it is booming internationally
Yet I believe that what makes our education great is being threatened by the ever increasing focus on teaching to the testThe focus has arisen because only by testing children can we know what progress they have madeIt’s a paradox(相矛盾)since the curriculum changes that are taking effect were designed to widen young people’s knowledge of the world around them
But please do not misunderstand meI am not suggesting that tests should be withdrawnI am saying that schools need to have the confidence to aim much higher and wider than teaching to the testThey should put a rich learning experience for students first the test should be used to validate(证实) learningnot an end in itself
Teachers countA good many subject teachers know their departments have been short­changing their studentsbut they lack the self­confidence and support to move away from teaching to the testSowhat is the secret to getting back on track？What good schools have known all along is that a staffroom full of teachers with a good knowledge of what they are teachingtogether with a passion and skill for communicating itlies at the heart of the best educationTeachers’ insistence on putting their love of subjects first will produce more engaged (参) studentsAnd with more engaged students often come better examination resultsgreater self­confidence and so on
Schools should also find the self­confidence to put a focus on inspiring teachers who are keen to broaden what they teachIn this wayI believe educational achievement will improve
9．Which belongs to the purpose of education according to the author
A．Helping young people to have a job
B．Preparing students for all kinds of tests
C．Making young people behave confidently
D．Enabling young people to succeed in life
10．What does the author think of tests at present
A．Formal and competitive
B．Necessary but imperfect
C．Standard but worthless
D．Important and functional
11．What should teachers do to face the challenge according to the author
A．Arrange interesting classes to students’ taste
B．Train students according to new teaching standards
C．Encourage students to express their love of subjects
D．Feel confident to care about more than examinations

12．What is a suitable title for the text
A．What is the future of British education
B．What is the true purpose of British education
C．Schools must aim higher than teaching to the test
D．Schools should withdraw tests for the sake of students
