You can check Google's list of the top 10 most﹣searched words and phrases for 2019 to find out．The list shows what people were most interested in this year．Let's look back at three of them．Notre Dame （巴黎圣母院）A terrible tragedy hit France on April 15．A fire broke out in the Notre Dame cathedral, destroying its spire and a large part of its roof． Built between 1163 and 1250, Notre Dame is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture （哥特式建筑）． It is also home to many priceless works of art．It was reported that French President Emmanuel Macron promised to rebuild the cathedral．The first black hole photoHistory was made on April 10 when researchers unveiled （公布） the first﹣ever photo of a black hole．The ________ shows a black hole with a bright ring around it．The black hole lies in a faraway galaxy named Messier 87．Scientists say that the image proves that black holes are real．It also supports Einstein's theory（理论） of general relativity （广义相对论）．5GAt the top of your phone display, you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G．The "G" stands for the "generation （代）" of your mobile network．Now, the age of 5G is arriving． On March 30, Shanghai vice﹣mayor （副市长） Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smartphone, CGTN reported．Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks．About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let its users download and upload data faster than ever before．It can also be used to power other technology, such as self﹣driving cars and the Internet of things．China is set to become the world's largest 5G market, with 460 million users by 2025．（1）Notre Dame cathedral________．A. is the best French Gothic architectureB. was destroyed on April 10C. was built in the 11th centuryD. is probably going to be built again．（2）The underlined word "image" in Paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with "________"．A. newsB. messageC. pictureD. camera．（3）Where would you probably read such an article？________A.In a memoir．B.In an archeology journal．C.In a scientific reading．D.In a Time magazine．．（4）Which of the following is NOT true？________A. The top 10 most﹣searched words and phrases for 2019 are listed by Google．B. There are many priceless works of art in Notre Dame．C. It's clear that black holes are real．D. CGTN reported that the first 5G video call was made on April 15．18. People all over the world are now taking action to fight against COVID﹣19．But what they do may depend on their own culture and traditions．On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker （议员） went into the country's Lower Chamber with a mask to prevent the novel coronavirus, he was criticized by his workmates for "causing panic （恐慌）"．Articles from Western media carry headlines such as "No, you do not need face masks to prevent coronavirus．" You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on during the outbreak．Western thoughts about masksIn the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick． Masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don't need to wear them． Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be "stared at like a virus spreader" if they go out with a mask．According to a survey done by Global Times among some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make them feel "worried", "shy", and "afraid of being looked at differently．"But as the number of COVID﹣19 cases continues to grow around the world, many people in the West are changing their attitudes．In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now．The US surgeon general has been asking people to avoid hoarding masks, as they are more needed in hospitals than by the general public．Mask culture in the EastIn Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask﹣wearing． In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague （肺鼠疫） in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China's position as a modern, scientific nation．The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti﹣viral protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia．In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure others when one catches a cold or flu．Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories, with different colors and styles to match their clothes．Wearing masks is also a way to "hide" for young women when they don't have their make up on．In more collectivist cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity （团结） during theoutbreak, according to Christos Lynteris．"Mask culture in Asia creates a sense of a fate shared, common obligation and civic duty．" People wear masks "to show that they want to stick together" in the face of danger, Lynteris wrote．（1）The purpose of the story is to________．A. explain why Westerners don't wear masksB. prove the importance of wearing masks during an epidemicC. show how opinions about masks differ between different countriesD. explain the history of masks．（2）What isn't the reason for Japanese wearing masks？________A. They wear masks to reassure others when catching a cold or flu．B. Some Japanese wear masks as fashion accessories．C. Some young women wear masks when they don't make up．D. They wear masks to make others feel worried．．（3）What does Lynteris mean in the last paragraph？________A. People have no sense of duty if they don't wear masks．B. Mask culture creates a sense of collective obligation．C. Asian people are more united in the face of danger．D. We are a community with a shared future for mankind．19. On the morning of July 10th, 2018, Dr．Tian Jiabing passed away at the age of 99．Most educators will be familiar with his name．Over the course of his life he donated 80% of his wealth, building over 200 schools and 18, 000 libraries across the country since the 1980s, earning him the title of "Father of 100 Chinese Schools"．Through years of hard work, Tian Jiabing had great achievements in business．However, in 1997, after the financial crisis in Asia, Tian's businesses and foundations were influenced, making it difficult to ________ promises of donations．In order to make donations as planned, Tian, at the age of 83, decided to sell his home, in which he had lived for 38 years, for 56 million HK dollars．He then donated it to some schools in China, and moved into a small flat with his wife, In 2005, Tian also sold the 130, 000﹣square﹣metre Tian Square at the price of 300 million HK dollars which was later donated to over 10 universities and high schools．When he was interviewed, he said, "Since I had promised organizations my donations, I decided to sell my house to help these schools．This felt like a more worthwhile and meaningful action．" In interviews Tian expressed that education is linked to a country's strength and cultural development．He said that spending money on education is "spending money in the most useful of places", and that the value of education is far greater than the value of giving money．Even though every donation was tens or hundreds of million, Tian Jiabing lived a modest and simple life in Hong Kong．He was also strict with his children．He insisted that it was better to leave posterity（名誉） to the next generation rather than wealth．Tian was respected by people not only because of his great honours, but also because he never asked for returns for his work． Besides his big donations, Tian also gave an example with small actions which help the society get better．Tian Jiabing is considered as one of China's all﹣time greatest charitarian．More people will know about his efforts and spirit, inspiring and drawing the attention of more people to do good deeds together．（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？________A.Tian Jiabing was named "Father of 100 Chinese Schools" in 1980．B.Most Chinese know Tian Jiabing for his donation．C.Tian Jiabing helped build over 20，000 schools and libraries．D.Tian Jiabing was born in the twentieth century．．（2）Which is the correct order of the things below？________①He started to donate to build schools and libraries．②The financial crisis broke out and affected his business．③He bought his home which was sold later．④The Tian Square was sold to support education．A. ①③④②B. ③①②④C. ①②④③D. ③②①④．（3）The meaning of the underlined phrase " fulfill " is close to in Chinese________．A.展示B.继续C.提供D.产生．（4）The passage mainly talks about________．A.the loss of "Father of 100 Chinese Schools"B.the whole course of Tian Jiabing's lifeC.Tian Jiabing 's achievements in educationD.Tian Jiabing's great effort into education．20. Cold weather has a great effect, on how our minds and our bodies work．Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word "cold"．For example, People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold﹣blooded． Cold can affect other parts of the body, But the expression"get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do． For example, you agree to be CEO of a company． But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned（辞职） and all the work of the company will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation．The expression"give someone the cold shoulder" probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face﹣to﹣face． You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who breaks your words, or to someone who has lied about you to others．"A cold fish" is not a fish．It if a person．But it is a person who isunemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone． Someone who is a cold fish could be cold﹣hearted．He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation．"Out in the cold"means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise﹣﹣he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．（1）What's of the following shows the structure of the passage？________（2）Henry goes the cold shoulder when he asked to have a date with Mary， that means________．A. Henry was treated politely when he asked Mary to have a date．B. Henry was afraid to invite Mary to have an appointment with him．C. Mary didn't care about Henry's invitation and didn't plan to date with him．D. Mary behaved unfriendly because she didn't like to talk with Henry face to face．．（3）If you get cold feet，this means that________．A. you feel brave to do somethingB. you feel too nervous to do somethingC. you feel too cold to do somethingD. you feel very angry about doing something．（4）What is the best title for the passage？________A. Opinions about cold weather．B. Expressions connected with "cold"C. Relation between cold and bodyD. Examples of people who have a cold．21. Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists．Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky．Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us． But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth．But 500 million worth of new telescopes right now, then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks．By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we‘ll have a way to change its course．Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are ①How l ikely the event is; ②How bad the consequences if the event occurs．Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500000 years．Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall．It would be the end of the world． "If we don't take care of these bid asteroids, they'll take care of us, "says one scientist．"it's that simple．"The cure, though, might be worse than the disease．Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? "the world has less fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them．" Said a New York Times article．（1）What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids？________A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition．B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature．C. They are more asteroids than meteoroids．D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids．．（2）What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth？________ A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists．B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years．C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected．D. It is still too early to say whether such a collision might occur．．（3）We can conclude from the passage that________．A. While pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world．B. Asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future．C. The worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime．D. Workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth．．（4）What genre does this article belong to ？________A. ExpositionB. DiscriptionC. NarrationD. Prose．（5）Which of the following best describes the author's tone in this passage？________A. OptimisticB. CriticalC. ObjectiveD. Arbitrary．四、词汇（每题2分，30分）A. 请根据句意或括号中的中文提示、英文释义，填出所缺单词，使句子通顺．22.

Not everyone liked to work on farms along the Atlantic.Finally, a short，thin man，just past middle age, came to the farmer, “Are you a good farm hand?” The farmer asked him. “Well. I can sleep when the wind blows.” Answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer hired him.The little man worked well around the farm, busy for all day, and the farmer felt pleased with the man’ s work. Then one night the wind blew strongly, jumping out of the bed，the farmer grabbed a lamp and rushed next door to the hired hand’s bed. He shook the little man and shouted. “Get up! A storm is coming! We should make some preparation before all the things were blown away!’’ The little man turned over in bed and said firmly(坚决地)，“No sir, I told you，I can sleep when the wind blows. ”Being angry at the words，the farmer wanted to send him away at once. Instead，he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. He found that everything was ready. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to sleep while the wind blew.If you get everything ready，no matter when the wind blows，you’re sure to overcome any difficulty.根据短文内容判断正误，正确的写(A)，错误的写(B)( )36.

The passage mainly tells us that we should get everything ready to overcome any difficulty.(C)A rabbit is running into its hole. You may ask, “What took place?”Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When the other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run, too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has givenMany other animals use this kind of language. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks （犬吠）when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs（喵喵叫） when it feels pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.But man has something that no animal has --- a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remember the things that have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animal can do this. No animal has the wonderfulpower of language.No one knows how man learned to make words. Man, however, learned to make them. As centuries went by, man made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.Today there are about 1.5 thousand different languages in the world. But we don’t know all these. We should try to make our vocabulary（词汇）larger. Read as many books as possible. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
