【題目】In UK, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do. They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.
One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of a sudden, she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pick up Lola and drops her into a large dustbin. Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. She was fined (罰款) £250and was not allowed to own pets for five years.
Another video shows “Britain’s drunkest man”. He’s been at a party at London’s Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a.m., he was kicked out for being too drunk. So, he decided to walk home. On the way, CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly… A Savoy Hotel waiter said, “It’s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly.”
Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band (樂隊) The Get Out Clause didn’t have any money to make a music video. So, they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act (信息自由法) , they asked for a copy of all the footages (視頻) , which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them a penny.

【題目】

As the old saying goes, “A new broom sweeps clean.” Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, took office on Jan 20. Soon after that, the new president began using his power to make changes to the country by signing several executive orders (總統(tǒng)行政令).The orders include the travel ban (禁令) on refugees (難民) and people from seven mainly Muslim countries, like Iraq and Syria. Trump believes this helps keep terrorism (恐怖主義) out of the US. He also signed an order to build a wall along the southern border, aiming to stop smugglers (走私者) and Mexicans moving to the US illegally (非法地) .

Trump pointed out on his Facebook that this is about keeping the US safe. However, many people, both from the US and other countries, are against the orders. Judges in the US say that Trump’s travel ban is unconstitutional (違背憲法的), as it is a kind of discrimination (歧視) against Muslims. And world leaders, groups and businesses including those from the United Nations and European Union are also against or have criticized the ban.

Trump also signed another controversial (有爭議的) order about the economy. He decided to quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP, 跨太平洋伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)定). It was a free trade agreement between 12 countries around the Pacific, including Australia, Singapore and Japan. TPP was the product of seven years of work under former US President Barack Obama. It aims to make trade easier among the 12 countries. But Trump wants to do trade deals with one country at a time, instead of in a big group like the TPP, according to The Independent.

A. solve the refugee problems B. fight against Muslims

2What do many US people think of Trump’s orders, according to the second paragraph?

A. They think the orders are helpful.

B. They don’t support the orders.

C. They think the orders follow the law.

D. The orders are against the rules of the UN and EU.

3Trump decided to leave the TPP, because _____.

A. he preferred to trade with one country at a time rather than a group

B. he didn’t want to make trade deals with Australia and Japan

C. he thought the TPP group was not big enough

D. he didn’t like the former US president
