Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride’s hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.
Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa’s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of “Baldy”(秃子) made her feel like an abandoned child. “I didn’t want her to feel that she wasn’t like the other kids,” her mother said. “I tried covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable. ”
Then comes the school’s traditional “Crazy Hair Day” in April, a great just-for-fun celebration where all the kids and their parents can express their wild sides a bit. Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa’s baldness under the artificial hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker(贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. “They just fit her personality,” Daniella smiled. “She’s so lovely. ”
On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother’s encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. “I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told people. “But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t. I’m thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colourful butterflies and flowers. ” 4. Why was Gianessa different from other kids? A. She was born bald.
B. She suffered from hair loss. C. She was talented in hair designing. D. She had her head fully shaved.
5. How did others react to Gianessa’s disease? A. Her doctor was quite optimistic.
B. Her mother gave her artificial hair. 英语试题 第2页（共8页）

Google’s new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹 子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own!
What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms ( 计 算 程 序 ) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced,” Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets. 8. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A. It enables easy Internet access. B. It is equipped with tough glass. C. It can be worn on your clothing. D. It allows of hands-free photography.
9. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Awkward. B. Brief. C. Touching.
D. Unforgettable.
10. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A. The advance in technology. B. The popularity of the Internet. C. The screen for viewing and editing. D. The rise of the smartphone industry.

The assumption that depression is a disease has been supported by biologists, psychiatrists and companies producing medicine. Although advances in medical treatment have certainly been responsible for reducing much suffering, sticking to the disease model is preventing a more complete understanding of why we are so likely to suffer from depression, with at least 45% of people experiencing the condition in their lifetimes.
My recent review of theories and personal observations suggests that depression might serve some useful functions. We should not forget that depression has meaning, and that there is a real new life after recovery.
A recent study of depression in Holland showed that people seemed to cope better with hardships in life after depression than they were doing before it. In the group as a whole, liveliness, psychological health, social and spare-time activities, performance at work and general health all significantly improved upon recovery from depression.
Depression can lead to great insights(洞察力) and achievements. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle believed depression to be a state of great moral and spiritual value because of the insights it could bring. The philosopher John Stuart Mill wrote his famous work, Utilitarianism, at the age of 19 and became depressed at the age of 21. Upon recovery, he admitted that the experience had taught him an important lesson---that he should not sacrifice(牺牲) his social and emotional development to intellectual ambition.
Theories have suggested that depression could be a defense against the long-time stress. It is possible that depression defends us against the tendency to ignore our true needs by chasing unobtainable goals and helps to bring these needs into sharper focus.
Depression may bring about a “rebirth” because it removes a false idea about oneself. There is some evidence from scientific studies to show that depressed people are rather more realistic in their thinking than “healthy” individuals. With recovery, a new kind of truth could be found, which would do away with blind optimism: a more modest evaluation of the depressed person’s own ability, containing a more balanced picture of his or her life.
Depression may have forced our ancestors to look again at their strengths and weaknesses, and their coping strategies. Regardless of the reason for falling into depression, the journey has potential to make us better equipped, in a general sense, for life.
12. Which of the following is the disadvantage of treating depression as a disease? A. People dislike being taken as patients. B. The medical treatment costs a lot of money. C. It prevents us from better understanding depression.
D. It stops people from getting a balanced picture of life.
13. After recovering from depression, John Stuart Mill realized that he shouldn’t _________ . A. take part in too many social activities B. aim too high in intellectual achievement C. write Utilitarianism at such an early age D. consider too much about emotional needs

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Beginning with Chinese efforts to explore and connect with Central Asia, the Silk Road consisted of massive small routes and was named after the silk cloth the Chinese produced. 16 Through these routes, Chinese silk, porcelain, lacquer work and ironware were shipped to the West, while pepper, flax, spices, grape and pomegranate entered China.
17 They promoted flow of knowledge as well. Arab astronomy, calendar and medicine found their way to China, while China's four great inventions and silkworm breeding spread to other parts of the world. 18 For example, Buddhism originated in India, blossomed in China and was enriched in Southeast Asia. Confucianism, which was born in China, gained appreciation by European thinkers such as Leibniz and Voltaire. Herein lies the appeal of mutual learning.
The ancient silk routes witnessed the busy scenes of visits and trade over land and ships calling at ports. Along these major routes, capital, technology and people flowed freely. 19 The ancient prosperous cities and ports developed, so did the Roman Empire as well as Parthia and Kushan Kingdoms. The Han and Tang Dynasties of China entered the golden age. The ancient silk routes brought prosperity to these regions and contributed to their development.
Some regions along the ancient Silk Road used to be a land of milk and honey. Yet today, these places are often associated with conflict, crisis and challenge. 20 Now, the Belt and Road Initiative intends to build an open platform of cooperation and a broad community of shared interests. It will not only achieve economic growth and balanced development, but also connect different civilizations. Mutual understanding, mutual respect, and mutual trust among different countries will be boosted.
A. More importantly ideas were also exchanged. B. The ancient silk routes were not only for trade. C. Goods, resources and benefits were widely shared. D. Such state of affairs should not be allowed to continue.
E. However, silk was just one of many goods traded on these routes. F. Large empires provided stability and protection for the trade routes.
G. The Silk Road was never an actual road, or even a single massive trade route.

Controversy erupted after winners for this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature were announced on Oct 10. 41 was different was that two prizes were given, one for the 42 (cancel) 2018 award and the other for 2019. The choice for 2018–Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk, who also 63 (win) the Man Booker International Prize in 2018, was well-received. The 2019 winner, however, caused quite a stir. Peter Handke, from Austria, has 64 (previous) been accused of defending war crimes.
In 2008, French-American writer Jonathan Littell said this about Handke: “He might be a fantastic artist, but
45 a human being he is my enemy. ” Hari Kunzru, a British-Indian novelist, was so outspoken as 46 (call) giving Handke the Nobel “a troubling choice” in the Guardian.
But the Swedish Academy didn’t think the 47 (accuse) was relevant. “It is not in the Academy’s mandate (权限) to balance literary quality against political considerations,” Mats Malm, the Swedish Academy’s secretary, told The New York Times.
When it comes to the literary quality of Handke’s work, there’s no argument. “Handke is a great German prose stylist (散文作家), 48 has spent his career 69 (explore) both the natural world and the world of human consciousness with precision, humor, and courage, ” Jonathan Galassi, president of the Farrar, said in a statement.
