You haven’t truly visited a city until you’ve experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city likeLondongradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touchingsome of the nicest areas in centralLondon? Let’s get started.
6:30 pm
The walk starts on theMillenniumBridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.

7:30 pm
It’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest fromSt Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.
9:00 pm
The next stop isLondonBridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “LondonBridgeis Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song sayLondonBridgeis falling and who is the fair lady?

11:30 pm
Londonnever sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges isTrafalgar Square, our next stop.

Sonoma County is adding artificial intelligence to its wildfire fighting. The county has entered into an agreement with the South Korean firm Alchera to equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software that detects wildfire activity and then issues a warning to authorities.
The technology examines past and current images of terrain (地形;地势) and searches for certain changes, such as flames burning in darkness, said Chris Godley, the county’s director of emergency management. But emergency workers will first have to“teach”the system to distinguish between images that show fire smoke, and others that might show clouds, fog etc. The software will use feedback from humans to improve its algorithm(算法) and will eventually be able to detect fires on its own — or at least that’s what county officials hope.
“It’s kind of like learning how to read,”Godley said. “What letters can I put together to make up a word?” The county activated the technology Wednesday and received 16 positive reports of smoke — all of which turned out to be permitted burns, he said. Once a seasonal ban on controlled burns goes into effect in April or May, the county plans to speed up the testing and feedback phase. The hope is that by November, the system will no longer need to be taught and can start providing reliable intelligence. Godley said. “It’s going to take us a while to make sure weget the bugs outand that we really can depend on it because ultimately this is a lifesaving mission.”
The technology is intended to help officials investigate potential fire starts earlier so they can get personnel out to them more quickly and issue necessary warnings. Officials expect other places will adopt it if the technology is successful, particularly because it plugs into the camera network that’s already in place statewide.
“We ultimately believe its potential could be realized in a year or two,” Godley said. “And it could really have
a dramatic impact here in California.”
4. What does the system first have to do before being put into work?
A. Equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software.
B. Learn to tell between images of fire smoke and other pictures.
C. Use feedbacks to improve its ability to detect fire independently.
D. Examine images of the terrain and search for any possible changes.
5. What do local officials expect the technology to accomplish?
A. Be able to make positive reports of smoke.
B. Be able to control seasonal burns in the area.
C. Help them spot potential fire starts as soon as possible.
D. Learn how to distinguish pictures of flames from clouds.
6. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?
A. kill all the bugs.
B. get rid of mistakes
C. provide reliable information
D. speed up testing process
7. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A. AI is creating a dramatic impact in California.
B. AI is applied to monitor terrains in California.
C. A new tool to help detect wildfire in California.
D. A new way to put an end to wildfire in California.
C
Gerardo Ixcoy is a 27-year-old teacher in Guatemala. He teaches in the area where having electricity is something of a luxury and students have no access to mobile apps or computers, which became a problem when Guatemalan government had to choosedistance education for students at home because of COVID-19 inmid-March.
Gerardo Ixcoy felt that he had to teach those children living far from the digital world. After all, education is a universal right. But what was the solution?
Gerardo bought himself a secondhand tricycle with his savings. Once he had the tricycle, the next step was to change it into a classroom on wheels. He put a roof with a solar panel（太阳能电池板）on it, along with a screen to avoid the spread of COVID-19. He fixed a whiteboard on it so he could explain to the students the basics of primary education：math, the local language and the national language Spanish.
The purpose of the solar panelis to provide constant power for a small loudspeaker so he can teach from a distance. It's a matter of respecting the healthy distance required to be safe from the virus. He, the teacher, stays
outside, and the student participates from his or her house.
He tries to visit his students at least twice a week, riding his classroom — cycle. The children he serves say that, although he visits them for only a few hours a week, they look forward to it. They appreciate his visit because they know he has limited time he can devote to them. They must take advantage of it to learn.
8. What happened to Gerardo Ixcoy's students because of COVID-19?
A. They chose to have classes in groups.
B. They had to stop all the classes.
C. They continued to have classes online.
D. They started to learn about computers.
9. Why does the teacher stay from a distance while teaching?
A. Because healthy distance is reqired.
B. Because he doesn't want to see his students.
C. Because he wants to show his authority.
D. Because the local custom reqiries him to.
10. Where did Gerardo Ixcoy teach his students?
A. In his own house.
B. In his student's house.
C. On the school playground.
D. Outside his student's house.
11. What can be the best title of the story?
A. Love breaks down barriers.
B. Hard work pays off.
C. Time is money.
D. Education is the key to success.
D
When you think of the icy Arctic Ocean, do you picture cold blue waters, on which float (漂浮) icebergs home to animals and fish not seen elsewhere on the planet? Think again, or rather add 300 billion pieces of plastic (塑料) to your picture. That's the amount of plastic that scientists believe is floating around the Arctic Ocean. Most of the plastic is in the area to the east of Greenland and north of Scandinavia.
Where did it come from? After all, the lands near the Arctic are not really full of people. It turns out that ocean currents are carrying plastic thrown into the ocean all the way to the Arctic. An ocean current is an unending movement of sea water from one point to another. It is caused by several things including heat from the Sun, wind and movement of the Earth.
Many of these plastic pieces seem to have travelled for years before reaching the Arctic. This was worked out
by scientists studying the plastic problem after they observed the condition of the pieces. While much plastic floats on top of the water, a lot also may be on the sea floor.
Plastic has been widely used for 60 years on Earth and our careless throwing of plastic things is slowly turning the once perfectly clean Arctic into a dangerous place. Unlike food waste and plant waste, plastic doesn't break down so easily. In fact the United States Environment Protection Organization reports that “every bit of plastic ever made still exists”.
What's the effect? Seabirds, sea turtles and other ocean creatures could get hurt and die when they accidentallyswallowplastic. Plastic waste affects fishing, affecting people who earn money through fishing. Plastics can let out dangerous poisons (毒物) into the water. These may be swallowed by fish, and when these fish are caught and eaten by people or bigger animals, they could get poisoned too!
12. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The Arctic Ocean is heavily polluted.
B. The plastic is mostlyin the area in the east of Greenland.
C. An ocean current is just caused by the movement of the earth.
D. Much more plastic floats on top of the water.
13. Which of the following doesn't contribute to the plastic ocean?
A. Humans throw away plastic things at will.
B. Ocean currents carry plastic things everywhere.
C. Plastic can let out harmful things into the water.
D. Plastic is hard to break down.
14. What does the underlined word “swallow” in the last Paragraph mean?
A. Break down.
B. Take in.
C. Accept.
D. Touch.
15. What's the best title of the text?
A. Are Men to Blame for Plastic Ocean?
B. Arctic Ocean and Its Future!
C. Is Plastic Harmful?
D. Arctic Ocean or Plastic Ocean?
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

选项中有两项为多余选项When you think of life skills, youtypically think of things like cooking or fixing broken objects. These sorts of skills help regulate the environment around you.____16____In other words, there are skills you can learn to help
manage difficult emotions.
Take responsibility
When I wasa child, I often accused my brother of making me mad. My mom was quick to correct me. “He can’t make you mad,’’ she would say. “He just does things, and you choose how your espond.’’ Although people sometimes try to annoy us, each of us is responsible for our own reaction. We can choose how we interpret the actions of others and whether we will act on how we feel.____17____Fear, for example, is a common feeling that can sometimes cause trouble. Learning to do things that we’re afraid of is an important part of becoming mature.
____18____.
On the other hand, we also don’t have direct control over our feelings. If we’re sad, we can’t suddenly decide to be happy and create positive feelings using pure willpower.____19____These thoughts and actions will eventually guide our emotions. Choosing to smile even if you don’t feel happy can create happy feelings. Concentrating on good things in life works the same way.
Recognize others’ feelings
Another set of skills related to emotions involves recognizing other people’s feelings. Just as other people can’t force us to feel things, we also can’t control what others feel.____20____This involves reading their facial expressions. But it’s also helpful to think about how we would feel in the other person’s circumstances. If we know how other people feel, we will be better able to help them handle their feelings.
Feelings can be difficult to handle, so managing them is an important life skill.
A. Guide our feelings
B. Concentrate on good things
C. And we should learn to control our feelings.
D. This also applies to other emotions besides anger.
E. But it can be helpful to recognize other people’s emotions.
F. Instead, we have to change what we think about and how we act.
G. But skills that help regulate what’s going on inside of you are equally important.

My 10-year-old daughter and I were driving fromLos AngelestoDallas. We were running low on gas somewhere inNew Mexicoand figured we’d see a gas station soon enough to fill up.
But that didn’t happen and we realized we were not going to make it to the next town. So my daughter made up a sign that read “Low on gas. Can u help?” and held it outside her window in the hope that a driver in the next lane would notice it and stop.
There weren’t too many vehicles passing us at the time. It was a desolate (荒凉的) stretch of road and about 3:30 pm on a weekday. A suburban was driving along happily in the neighboring lane ahead of us. We caught up with it in the hope the driver would notice the sign.
An elderly gentleman was driving it and after a brief expression of confusion on his face, he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over. We pulled over right behind him.
He was friendly and was eager to help us. At first he thought we didn’t have enough money to buy gas, so he offered to buy us gas at the next townRoswellthat was about 10 miles away!! Awfully sweet of a stranger to offer that.
When we explained our difficulty of not having enough gas to get to Roswell, he said he was a ranch (牧场) hand that was returning home from work. His ranch was about 20 minutes away and they had a gas pump on there, so if we could give him 40 minutes, he would head back there, get a can of gasoline and fill up our tank for us.
