Lengths were divided up into feet and smaller units from the human hand. Other measures were equally characteristic. Mediterranean traders for centuries used the weight of grains of wheat to define (定義) their units of mass. The Romans used libra, forerunner of the pound, by referring to the weight of a carob (角豆樹) seed. Although John Wilkins, an Englishman, first put forward a decimal system (十進(jìn)制) of measurement in 1668, it was the French who in 1799 made it law. The Syst232。s measurement bodies achieve at the meeting held in Versailles? will e up with seven new SI units. will set May 20th as a new international festival. will redefine four SI units including the kilogram. will decide on a new measure used in the laboratory.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，法國凡爾賽宮舉辦的國際計(jì)量大會(huì)，將對(duì)目前使用的國際單位制中的四個(gè)基本單位進(jìn)行重新定義，其中包括對(duì)千克的重新定義。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“At a meeting in Versailles, France, on November 16th, 2018, the world39。s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and finally perhaps by one of us.s last sink.

The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.B.To examine creatures of the explored ocean.（2）What mainly caused the start of the search in the sea?

One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and teles panies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easytouse payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.promote payment without paper money or coins（2）In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment（3）Cash is disappearing largely because the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD.B.根據(jù)第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質(zhì)化；再根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80％。根據(jù)第四段中的 “But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets)... Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現(xiàn)金消失的一個(gè)重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司（在發(fā)達(dá)市場）和電信公司（在新興市場）之類的供應(yīng)商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術(shù),他們可以從中提取數(shù)據(jù)和小費(fèi)。6．閱讀理解 Learning, Fast and DeepD.B.interesting （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)五段中的”To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn …He says school mathematics is sufficient.“可知讓深度學(xué)習(xí)不再神秘是杰里米根據(jù)最后一段中的”If Mr Howard and others have their way, making the development of AI software easier will bring forth a new crop of fruit of a different kind. “如果霍華德和其他人如愿以償，那么讓AI軟件開發(fā)變得更容易將會(huì)催生出一批新的不同的果實(shí)。s history, which makes the city always be a fascinating place for tourists.
