AIt was a beautiful spring day, and a sense of peace stayed with me as I left the cathedral on Easter Monday morning. I paused for a moment on top of the steps leading to the avenue, now crowded with people rushing to their jobs. Sitting in her usual place was the old flower lady. At her bare feel,shoes were on a spread-open newspaper. The flower lady was smiling, her winkled old face alive with some inner joy. I started down the stairs, and then on an impulse, I turned and picked out a flower. As I put it in my pocket I sad, “You look happy.”“Why not?” she answered, “Everything is good.” She was dressed so shabbily and seemed so old that her reply shocked me.“You’v e been sitting here for many years now, haven’t you? And always smiling. You wear your troubles well.”“You can’t reach my age and not have troubles, Sir,” she replied, “only it’s like Jesus and Good Friday...” She paused for a moment.“Yes?” I curiously asked.“We ll, when Jesus passed away on Good Friday, that was the worst day for the whole world. When I get troubles I remember that, and then I think of what happened only three days later—Easter—our Lord arose from the dead. So when things go wrong, I’ve learned to wait three days... and somehow everything gets much better.She smiled good-bye, but her words still follow me whenever I think I have troubles. “Give God a chance to help and just wait three days.”21.

The Python class is mainly opened to promote children’s interest in the programming language, said Chen Fei, an associate resea rcher at Shenzhen University. “This Python class can show the magical power of computers and arouse children’s enthusiasm.This isn’t the only example of the growing importance attached to the coding language in China. According to a notice issued by the exam administration body of the Education Ministry, Python will become a test subject in the National Computer Rank Examination starting March 2018. Python, first released in 1991, is ageneral-purpose programming language. It has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability (可读性),and a syntax (句法) that allows programmers to express ideas in fewer lines of code than languages such as C ++ or Java. It has contributed to its growing popularity over the past few years.In June 2017, Python became the most visited tag within high-income nations on Stack Overflow, an online community for developers. And it is expected lo become the moat popular programming language in the next few years.In the US, programming education starts at an early ago, with programming language textbooks for kids available on the online shopping website Amazon.28.

Coding Language-a New Subject in Chinese National ExamsDThe claim always seems too good to be true: put your kid in front of a video and in no time, he or she, will be talking and getting smarter than the neighbors kid. In the latest study on the effects of popular videos such as theBaby Einstein and Brainy Baby series, researchers find that these products may be doing more harm than good. And they may actually delay language development in very young children.Led by Dr. Frederick and Dr. Dimitri, both at the university of Washington, the research team found that with every hour per day spent watching baby DVDs and videos, babies learned six to eight fewer new words than babies who never watched the videos. "The more videos they watched, the fewer words they k now,”says Frederick.It’s not the first blow to baby videos, and likely won’t be the last. Increasing evidence suggests that passive screen sucking not only doesn’t help children learn, but could also set back their development. “Babies require face-to-face comm unication to learn,”says Dr. Strasburger, the spokesperson for the American Academy of children disease. “They don’t get that interaction from watching video s. In fact, the watching probably influences the early development of t heir brains.”This growing evidence led Dr. Strasburger to issue his recommendation that no child under two years watch any television. Because the majority of the videos don’t try to promote language; they have rapid scene changes and quick edits, and no appearance of the “parent” type of speaking that parents use when t alking to their babies. Dr. Strasburger suggested reading instead: children who got daily leading or storytelling their parents showed a slight increase in language skills.32. What do we know about Brainy Baby series according to the passage?A. They make babies have lower IQ than others.B. Babies who watch them have a larger vocabulary.C. Babies can obtain scientific knowledge from them.D. They are harmful to babies’ language development.33. The underlined word “sucking” in Para. 3 can best be replaced by _________.A. accumulatingB. absorbingC. adjustingD. abusing34. What does Dr. Strasburger probably agree on?A. Face-to-face interaction is vital for babies.B. Children under two years old should watch less television.C. Daily reading helps children develop language skills rapidly.D. The rapid scene changes and quick edits do harm to babies’ eyes.35. What’s the author’s attitude towards baby videos?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Approving.D. Negative.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)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。
