But it holds a special place in China-US relations, as it has helped both countries get along for the last 50 years. This has been called “ping-pong diplomacy (乒乓外交)”. Judy Hoarfrost was just 15 years old when she was sent from the US to China as part of a nine-member table tennis team. The year was 1971, and for the past 20 years, relations between China and the US had been unfriendly.But as the team toured around China, things started warming up. Hoarfrost even got to meet then-Premier Zhou Enlai. “The most unforgettable moment was Zhou shaking hands with me and looking into my eyes,” Hoarfrost told China Daily. “You have opened a new page in China-US relationships.” Zhou told the team.In the years that followed the historic visit, ties between the two countries started to blossom. US president Richard Nixon would make a landmark (里程碑) visit to China in 1972, which also saw Chinese table tennis players make their own visit to the US, according to China Daily. Diplomatic relations between the US and China were fully established (建立) in 1979.Players from both countries believed strongly in the idea of “friendship first, competition second”. To this day, many of them remain friends. Hoarfrost thinks we should remember ping-pong diplomacy in order “to understand the importance of people to people exchanges in establishing bonds, human bonds between peoples.”Seeing tension (紧张局面) between two of the world’s biggest powers in recent years, Hoarfrost said China and the US should work together. “We have so much in common, and we need to build on what we have in common,” she added.16.

China and the US should improve their relations.C. Playing table tennis can help people go abroad more easily.D. China and the US should have another table tennis exchange.CBeep! Beep! Barcode (条形码) technology makes it faster and easier to buy things in stores. You’ve probably seen the black-and-white zebra stripes (条纹) on product packaging. This year, this great invention is 50 years old!On a Sunday afternoon in 1971, IBM engineer George Laurer came up with a code that could be printed on food labels (商标). It became the basis for the Universal Product Code, which was used by many grocery companies starting in 1973, according to The New York Times. Before this, cashiers (收银员) had to ring up prices by hand.Time has proven it to be a great invention. Today, barcodes are scanned (扫描) over 6 billion times every day and used by 2 million companies worldwide, PR Newswire reported.What information does a barcode contain? Where the product comes from, where it has been, its price, expiration date (过期时间)… you name it. It can also help stores keep track of (跟踪) their products. For example, if there are 10 boxes of milk and a customer buys one, it will be recorded so that the store owner knows there are nine boxes left. In the 1980s, libraries started using barcodes to keep track of books in this way.“Its creation allowed the first digitization (数字化) in the control of the stock (库存),” José María Bonmatí from AECOC, a Spanish commercial association, told El Mundo.The next generation of barcodes, such as QR codes (二维码), can hold more information. “They can tell consumers if a product contains allergens (过敏原) or if it is organic (有机的). This provides consumers with a greater level of trust in the products they buy,” said GS 1, an organization that develops global barcode standards.21. What do we know about barcodes?A. They were first used in New York.B. They were invented five decades ago.C. They were based on the Universal Product Code.D. They were designed by a cashier in a grocery store.22. What is Paragraph 3 about?A. What barcodes can be used for.B. What barcodes can help customers do.C. How widely barcodes are used worldwide.D. How information is stored in barcodes.23. According to José María Bonmatí barcodes __________.A. make cashiers’ work easier to doB. improve the quality of food packagingC. help companies better manage their stockD. tell consumers more about the products they buy24. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. The importance of barcodes still needs to be proven.B. QR codes will replace barcodes in the future.C. GS 1 is developing a new type of barcode.D. QR codes are more consumer friendly.25. Which word might the writer use to describe barcodes?A. Organic.B. Beautiful.C. Convenient.D. Expensive.第二节 以下是一篇短文，请阅读全文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文意思完整、连贯，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑。（共5小题，每小题2分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。Imagine you are studying English, then you feel the need to check your phone. ____26____ This process, when repeated many times, could reduce(降低)your ability to learn new materials.
