 回答问题

On March 5, Emory University (艾莫里大学)reported that Zhang Yide, a first-year Chinese student committed suicide(自杀) and died at the age of 19. The excellent student suddenly died without warning. 

When Zhang Yide was one year old, his parents divorced(离婚). His mother left him, and he was raised by his father Zhang Yue alone. His father, a former corporate executive(企业高管), left his job to accompany his son. After returning to the countryside, Yide's father taught Yide to read and write. His father recorded all the experiences of Yide through photos and words, and built a "growing up museum cabinet"(成长博物柜) for his child. Yide is an intelligent child. When he graduated from high school, Yide was admitted to Emory University, which is known as "Harvard in the south of the United States". He scored 118 in TOEFL. And he also did very well in some competitions. Everybody thought he was excellent, hard-working and self-disciplined(自律的).

We don't know why he chose to commit suicide. But we have to think about a question: how should we correctly face our problems and difficulties and deal with them?

(1)、When did Yide's mother leave him?
(2)、Whom was Zhang Yide raised by after his parents divorced? 
(3)、How did Yide's father record the experience of Yide?
(4)、How many points did Yide get in TOEFL? 
(5)、What did everybody think of Yide before he died?
举一反三
阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

I'm a bit of an airplane fan. For the past few years, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) many model planes on my desk at work. You can imagine my joy when I had the chance to experience the first flight ofC919 jet yesterday. Luckily, I got one just before the tickets {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (sell) out. 

Before boarding, I found that almost every one of the 160 {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (passenger) walked around the plane to celebrate this historic moment. They got more excited {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ever before and some began to take selfies (自拍) . {#blank#}5{#/blank#} happy they were! 

The {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (excite) continued on board as the C919 took off. A special breakfast {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (serve): Shanghai noodles, some White Rabbit milk {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a special dessert with a "World's First C919" logo on it. It was a pretty short flight, about 2. 5 hours from Shanghai to Chengdu. Soon we landed at our destination, and we cheered {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (loud). Almost everyone seemed overjoyed to have taken part in such a proud moment for China. 

Now I‘m looking forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see) what new planes COMAC (中国商飞公司) has planned for the future. I can't wait to see them take on Airbus and Boeing! 

 阅读下面短文, 从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 Like many inventions, language translators(翻译器) were imagined by writers long before they became real. In Hugo Gernsback's 1911 novel A Romance of the Year 2660, characters use a video telephone that can translate from one language to another. A language translator also appears in Murray Leinster's1945 science fiction. In that story, humans and lives from another plane made a translation machine together after making first contact with one another.

 In 1954, the first real language translator was invented by engineers from the IBM company and Georgetown University, which could translate Russian sentences into English. However, the idea of the language translator didn't become truly popular until a special translator appeared in the TV show in the 1970. The translator was powerful, because it could translate any language that it met.

 Today, language translators are so pervasive that it's hard to imagine a time without it, especially for many young working or studying in other countries. Most of them can be reached easily online at no cost to users. With translation apps like Google Translate or iTranslate, users sometimes don't even have to look things up. All they need to do is pointing their phone's camera at some writing, and a translation appears at once. If users want to translate something being said aloud, they just turn on their phone's microphone. All of these save our time and effort.

 Translation apps make foreign travel much easier than before. They are important when it comes to communicating with taxi drivers or hotel managers who don't speak a traveler's native language. But these apps are far from perfect. Sometimes a translation makes mistakes, making the user guess what the translation means. At other times, the user might not know that the translation has failed until he or she shows it to a native speaker.
