19、2（8分） Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand?Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone
20、is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and Chinas Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significan
21、t ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, theyre “the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device”.The technology could change other devices, too. For exampl
22、e, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space.In a keynote address, Samsungs senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen “the f
23、oundation for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together.” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine ou
24、t of every 10 OLED (二极管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive.

29、gh with our intentions.While January 1st seems like the perfect time to have a new start again, exactly when people developed that mindset(思维模式)isnt common knowledge. It turns out that the modern belief of a New Years resolution isnt as old as you thought. According to many historians, the ancient B
30、abylonians were the first group of people to make New Years resolutions. However, instead of making a commitment to self improvement, they made a commitment to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed.An ancient Roman tradition from 46 BC, bears even more likeness to mode
31、rn resolutions. Emperor Julius Caesar declared January the month of Janus. Romans believed Janus looked backwards into the previous year and ahead into the future. In his honor, they made sacrifices to the god and promises of good behavior for the coining year.But the modern New Years resolution did
32、nt fully form until centuries later. The practice was common enough by the early 1800s. An article in 1802 states, Statesmen have sworn to have no other objet in view than the good of their country. the physicians have determined to advise the use of medicine no more than is necessary, and to he ver
33、y reasonable in their fees.”The first time “New Years resolution appeared as a phrase was in the January 1st issue of a Boston newspaper in 1813. “I believe there are a lot of people, the article goes, “with a serious determination of beginning the New Year with new resolutions and new behavior, and
34、 with the full belief that they shall accept punishment for all their formerfaults and wipe them away.So as you make (and possibly fail at) your New years resolutions, know that youre in good company.1、Whose New Years resolutions were most different from the present common practice?AAncient Babyloni
35、ans.BAncient Romans.CStatesmens in the 1800s.DBoston peoples in 1813.2、According to Paragraph 4, the physicians focused their resolutions on_Aannual incomes.Bpersonal ambitions.Cprofessional honesty.Dacademic improvement.3、What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo encourage people to make
36、New years resolutions.BTo give advice on how to make New Years resolutions.CTo compare different New years resolutions in history.DTo introduce the development of New Years resolutions.24（8分）The housing market in Canada has been in a dangerous situation. A recent news item said that the owner of two
37、 high-rise buildings of rental apartments had told his tenants (房客) that their rent would double in three months.Toronto doesnt have rent controls to stop this sort of thing from happening. However, the politicians warn almost immediately that landlords (房东) should be careful because it could cause
38、new laws to pass that they may not like. Tenants in the two buildings, meanwhile, are angry and some will have to move out because they simply cant afford to stay.The next day another news story noted that the purchase price of a house in Toronto has jumped 33 percent this year, which might destroy
39、the dream of owning a house for most young people. Both of these stories came out of Toronto but similar things are happening in Canadas other major cities such as Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary.The cost of both home rental and home purchase is related to the supply and demand pressures of
40、the market place and this is probably as it should be. The catch is that the rapid increase in both costs is far outstripping (超过) the increase in salaries, particularly in those jobs that beginners and probably even the majority of people can get.We cant leave these people out on the streets. I thi
41、nk the expanding gulf between the haves and the have-nots that we are seeing in Canada is dangerous because when some people seem to have everything and others are next to nothing it can lead to desperation, depression and sometimes to violence. I doubt whether this phenomenon is limited to my count
42、ry but its very concerning here. I feel sorry for the young people just entering the housing market.1、Why do the politicians warn the landlords not to double their rents in the near future?AThey are kind-hearted men and feel sorry for the poor.BTheyll have to raise the salaries for workers if rents
43、are too high.CIt is cold in Canada, so it is dangerous to leave people on the street.DThe government will take measures to protect the interest of tenants.2、That the writer thinks the housing market in Canada in a dangerous situation is because _.ACanada doesnt have rent controls to stop rents from
44、risingBmost young people take no interest in buying their own houseCthe government are unable to provide the poor with free housesDthe problems caused by high rents may lead to serious social conflicts3、According to the context, which of following word has the closest meaning to the underlined word
45、“catch” in paragraph 4?AProblem. BDilemma.CDepression. DDesperation.4、What is the best title for the text?ABeyond Most BuyersBTenants Will Move OutCToronto Is No Longer a Good PlaceDTo Help the Young or Not, This Is a Question25（10分）Scooter Braun, the artist manager responsible for developing Justin
