The old man looked cold, until Norah shouted to him, “Hi! It’s my birthday today!” The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly. “How old are you today?” the man asked. After some time talking together, Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend “Mr Dan”, Dan Peterson, 82. They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways. That could have been the end of the story. But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship.Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr. Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information. It turned out that Mr. Dan’s wife d ied in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since. The person on Facebook told Tara that it was the first time they had seen Mr. Dan smile since the death of his wife. Knowing that, Tara contacted Mr. Dan, and ever since Norah and the 82-year-old have developed a friendship unlike any other. “She has shown me a depth of love, a depth that I didn’t know existed,” Mr. Dan told the reporter.Mr. Dan told Tara that before meeting Norah, he hadn’t had one night of uninterrupted sleep. Anxiety kept him up at all hours and made him restless. After meeting Norah, he said he now sleeps soundly. For Mr. Dan’s 82nd birthda y on October 20, the mother and the daughter brought balloons and presents—and, of course, cupcakes. Mr. Dan will also spend a day around Thanksgiving with Norah and her family. “If you don’t take the time to notice people, you will never know how you can positively impact a life,” Tara Wood said.31. Mr. Dan looked cold because _____.A. he felt lonelyB. he disliked little kidsC. nobody had hugged himD. he knew little about Norah32.

From a shop assistant.D. From his neighbor.34. What can we learn from the story?A. Giving makes a real difference.B. It is important to respect each other.C. We should not judge a person at first sight.D. Good things will happen if one keeps trying.The STAR Eco Station is an environmental science museum, a wildlife rescue center, and a shelter for endangered and illegally-traded foreign animals confiscated（没收）by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It carries out the mission “Preservation through Education” by educating visitors about the preservation of the environment and the inter-dependence of all living things.Field tripsSTAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California. Each field trip lasts two hours, consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility, with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.Throughout the field trip, students learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems. The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife. The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways students can help protect animals in the wild.Field trips are offered on weekdays only, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. The rate is $6 per visitor, both child and adult, with a $120 minimum. We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more. Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip.Public toursGuided tours of the STAR Eco Station introduce visitors to over two hundred rescued foreign wildlife. Each tour is led by an Eco Station staff member, and features fun animal facts, hands-on animal encounters, surprising rescue stories, environmental exhibits, and original approaches to going green. Visitors may only see the animals on a guided tour, for both your safety and the safety of our animals.The guided tour lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. Visitors are served on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required. However, tours may sell out. We suggest larger groups schedule a private tour.Note:Our regular public tours times are subject to change without notice. Please call in advance for the most up-to-date information.35. The STAR Eco Station aims to ________.A. help research wildlife abroadB. collect money for animal sheltersC. raise awareness of wildlife protectionD. provide a knowledge of unusual animals36. What can students do during a field trip?A. Make a speech on the environment.B. Take part in foreign wildlife rescue.C. Get to know why species get endangered.D. Learn how living things affect each other.37. For a guided tour, visitors should know that _____.A. large groups are served firstB. it is available on weekdaysC. its time could changeD. booking is neededLove the way you walkListen carefully to the footsteps in the family home, and you can probably work out who is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researche rs have used video cameras and computers to analyze people’s gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, are difficult to set up, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems. But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns, and it seemed to work. In a study in 2018, they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people. They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Scully says even without a database of footste ps to work with, the system can determine someone’s sex and, with reasonable accuracy, a subject’s age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person’s own residence could monitor changes in an individual’s gait that indicates certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.38. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.39. According to Paragraph 3, the mat is used to _______.A. collect dataB. ensure safetyC. determine ageD. analyse pressure40. The gait-recognition system might be applied to _____.A. monitor security work progressB. detect potential health problemsC. keep track of travelling frequencyD. warn passengers of possible dangers41. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. compare and educateB. examine and assessC. discuss and persuadeD. explain and informOvertourism: A growing global problemThe summer holidays are in full swing—and protests againstovertourism have begun in a number of popular European cities.Barcelona, in particular, is at the centre of these mounting concernsabout the rapid growth of tourism in cities, especially during peakholiday periods. In fact, there were 30 million overnight visitors in2017, compared to a resident population of 1,625,137 in Barcelona.While many tourists want to “live like a local” during theirvisits, the residents of many tourism-dependent destinations are seeing the unique sense of place that characterised their home towns vanish beneath a wave of souvenir shops, crowds, tour buses and noisy bars. Overtourism is harming the landscape, damaging beaches, and pricing residents out of the housing market. It is a hugely complex issue that is often oversimplified.It can have an impact in multiple ways. The international cruise(游轮) industry, for example, delivers thousands of passengers daily to destination ports. While comparatively little is returned to communities, cruise activity creates physical and visual pollution.City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth. As cities transform to offer service to tourists, the global travel supply chain advances. This goes with increasing property speculation(房产投机) and rising costs of living for local communities. Airbnb, for example, has been accused of reducing housing affordability and displacing residents.In addition, overcrowding and the establishment of typical tourism-focused businesses, such as clubs, bars and souvenir shops, overpower local businesses—and noisy and unmanageable tourist behaviour is common. This weakens the uniqueness of destinations and leads to crowd and waste management pressures.Clearly, tourism brings jobs, investment and economic benefits to destinations. But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails to acknowledge that there are limits. Local government and planning authorities have so far been powerless to deal with the irresistible influence of the global tourism supply chain. This has led to widespread “tourist-phobia”—first described by Manuel Delgado more than a decade ago as a mixture of rejection, mistrust and disrespect for tourists.Dealing with overtourism must now be a priority. Managing the flow of tourists seems an improbable and unwelcome task. But some cities have taken extreme measures to limit the effects of overtourism, including the introduction of new or revised taxation arrangements, fines linked to new local laws, and “demarketing”, whereby destinatio ns focus on attracting fewer, high-spending and low impact tourists, rather than large groups.Overtourism is a shared responsibility. City administrators and destination managers must acknowledge that there are definite limits to growth. Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital. Primary consideration must be given to ensuring that the level of visitation fits within a destination’s capacity. We need to urgently rethink the way cities are evolving to uphold the rights of their residents.42. Why is Barcelona mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To describe how unique the city is.B. To warn people away from popular cities.C. To show how crowded a destination can be.D. To compare the number of visitors to that of locals.43. What is the problem of overtourism?A. It has destroyed local businesses.B. It has led to higher living expenses.C.It has increased the unemployment rate.D. It has caused mistrust among local communities.44. The reason for overtourism is that _______.A. destinations misjudge their capacityB. tourists lack a sense of responsibilityC. governments fail to support the supply chainD. tourists’ travelling preference is oversimplified45. According to the writer, what should the local governments do?A. Take full advantage of tourism.B. Guarantee local people’s welfare.C. Advocate a ban on global tourism.D. Control tourism-related businesses.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）A cultural view on personal spaceIt’s a well-known fact that the British prefer a large “bubble” of personal space around them.46 And in South America, a friend may grab you by the arm during conversation to make their point.Now, a study published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology has looked into why different cultures have such different approaches to personal space.47 They developed an earlier study that divided individuals into “contact” and “non-contact” cultures. Contact cultures—southern European, Latin American and Arabian—engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non-contact cultures in northern Europe, North America and parts of Asia.To a degree, this proved correct. Argentina becomes known as the most touchy-feely nation; people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance and a Canadian individual a close friend or partner. 48 They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger—more than 1.3m—but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends, just 40cm, compared to nearly 60cm for a British person. So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it sounds.49 The higher a country’s average temperature, the closer people will stand to a stranger. But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers; women generally keep a greater distance from someone they don’t know.The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do. But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada; prepare for a hug in Argentina. 50 They like to stand closer than anybody. To keep warm, perhaps.A. It’s important to get the distance right, though.B. Romanians clearly take longer to establish trust.C. How close we stand to other people varies widely between countries.D. And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian, don’t draw back.E. However, in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought.F. One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space.G. The study certainly found that climate, age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures.第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学学生李华。

The old man looked cold, until Norah shouted to him, “Hi! It’s my birthday today!” The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly. “How old are you today?” the man asked. After some time talking together, Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend “Mr Dan”, Dan Peterson, 82. They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways. That could have been the end of the story. But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship.Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr. Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information. It turned out that Mr. Dan’s wife d ied in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since.

It carries out the mission “Preservation t hrough Education” by educating visitors about the preservation of the environment and the inter-dependence of all living things.Field tripsSTAR Eco Station hosts field trips for schools and camps throughout Southern California. Each field trip lasts two hours, consisting of a one-hour gathering and a one-hour tour of the facility, with lessons associated with California State Science Standards.Throughout the field trip, students learn about the latest developments in environmental protection and the ways in which wildlife interacts with various ecosystems. The students also receive an up-close and hands-on experience with our rescued foreign wildlife. The tour includes different environmental exhibits that showcase the ways students can help protect animals in the wild.Field trips are offered on weekdays only, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. or 12 p.m.-2 p.m. The rate is $6 per visitor, both child and adult, with a $120 minimum. We offer one free adult per 10 children for groups of 40 or more. Maximum capacity is 120 people per field trip.[Public toursGuided tours of the STAR Eco Station introduce visitors to over two hundred rescued foreign wildlife. Each tour is led by an Eco Station staff member, and features fun animal facts, hands-on animal encounters, surprising rescue stories, environmental exhibits, and original approaches to going green. Visitors may only see the animals on a guided tour, for both your safety and the safety of our animals.The guided tour lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. Visitors are served on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required. However, tours may sell out. We suggest larger groups schedule a private tour.Note:Our regular public tours times are subject to change without notice. Please call in advance for the most up-to-date information.35.

For a guided tour, visitors should know that _____.A. large groups are served firstB. it is available on weekdaysC. its time could changeD. booking is neededCLove the way you walkListen carefully to the footsteps in the family home, and you can probably work out who is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people’s gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, are difficult to set up, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems. But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns, and it seemed to work. In a study in 2018, they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people. They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with, the system can determine someone’s sex and, with reasonable accuracy, a subject’s age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person’s own residence could monitor changes in an individual’s gait that indicates certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling ov er.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.38. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.39. According to Paragraph 3, the mat is used to _______.A. collect dataB. ensure safetyC. determine ageD. analyse pressure40. The gait-recognition system might be applied to _____.A. monitor security work progressB. detect potential health problemsC. keep track of travelling frequencyD. warn passengers of possible dangers41. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. compare and educateB. examine and assessC. discuss and persuadeD. explain and informDOvertourism: A growing global problemThe summer holidays are in full swing—and protests againstovertourism have begun in a number of popular European cities. Barcelona,in particular, is at the centre of th ese mounting concerns about the rapidgrowth of tourism in cities, especially during peak holiday periods. Infact, there were 30 million overnight visitors in 2017, compared to aresident population of 1,625,137 in Barcelona.While many tourists want to “live like a local” during their visits, the residents of many tourism-dependent destinations are seeing the unique sense of place that characterised their home towns vanish beneath a wave of souvenir shops, crowds, tour buses and noisy bars. Overtourism is harming the landscape, damaging beaches, and pricing residents out of the housing market. It is a hugely complex issue that is often oversimplified.It can have an impact in multiple ways. The international cruise(游轮) industry,for example, delivers thousands of passengers daily to destination ports. While comparatively little is returned to communities, cruise activity creates physical and visual pollution.City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth. As cities transform to offer service to tourists, the global travel supply chain advances. This goes with increasing property speculation(房产投机) and rising costs of living for local communities. Airbnb, for example, has been accused of reducing housing affordability and displacing residents.In addition, overcrowding and the establishment of typical tourism-focused businesses, such as clubs, bars and souvenir shops, overpower local businesses—and noisy and unmanageable tourist behaviour is common. This weakens the uniqueness of destinations and leads to crowd and waste management pressures.Clearly, tourism brings jobs, investment and economic benefits to destinations. But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails to acknowledge that there are limits. Local government and planning authorities have so far been powerless to deal with the irresistible influence of the global tourism supply chain. This has led to widespread “tourist-phobia”—first described by Manuel Delgado more than a decade ago as a mixture of rejection, mistrust and disrespect for tourists.Dealing with overtourism must now be a priority. Managing the flow of tourists seems an improbable and unwelcome task. But some cities have taken extreme measures to limit the effects of overtourism, including the introduction of new or revised taxation arrangements, fines linked to new local laws, and “demarketing”, whereby destinations focus on attracting fewer, high-spending and low impact tourists, rather than large groups.Overtourism is a shared responsibility. City administrators and destination managers must acknowledge that there are definite limits to growth. Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital. Primary consideration must be given to ensuring that the level of visitationfits within a destination’s capacity. We need to urgently rethink the way cities are evolving to uphold the rights of their residents.42. Why is Barcelona mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To describe how unique the city is.B. To warn people away from popular cities.C. To show how crowded a destination can be.D. To compare the number of visitors to that of locals.43. What is the problem of overtourism?A. It has destroyed local businesses.B. It has led to higher living expenses.C.It has increased the unemployment rate.D. It has caused mistrust among local communities.44. The reason for overtourism is that _______.A. destinations misjudge their capacityB. tourists lack a sense of responsibilityC. governments fail to support the supply chainD. tourists’ travelling preference is oversimplified45. According to the writer, what should the local governments do?A. Take full advantage of tourism.B. Guarantee local people’s welfare.C. Advocate a ban on global tourism.D. Control tourism-related businesses.[]第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）A cultural view on personal spaceIt’s a well-known fact that the British prefer a large “bubble” of personal space around them.46And in South America, a friend may grab you by the arm during conversation to make their point.Now, a study published in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology has looked into why different cultures have such different approaches to personal space.47They developed an earlier study that divided individuals into “contact” and “non-contact” cultures. Contact cultures—southern European, Latin American and Arabian—engaged in more touching and stood closer during conversation than non-contact cultures in northern Europe, North America and parts of Asia.To a degree, this proved correct. Argentina becomes known as the most touchy-feely nation; people here keep the same distance from a stranger as a British person would an acquaintance and a Canadian individual a close friend or partner. 48They come out with the widest distance you should stand from a stranger—more than 1.3m—but one of the narrowest gaps for close friends, just 40cm, compared to nearly 60cm for a British pers on. So the theory of warm versus cold is not as straightforward as it so unds.49The higher a country’s average temperature, the closer people will stand to a stranger. But older people in warm climates keep a bigger distance from close friends and stand closer to strangers; women gen erally keep a greater distance from someone they don’t know.The academics leading this study admit that there is a lot more to do. But what we do know is to keep your distance in Canada; prepare for a hug in Argentina.50They like to stand closer than anybody. To keep warm, perhaps.A. It’s important to get the distance right, though.B. Romanians clearly take longer to e stabli sh trust.C. How cl ose we stand to other people varies widely between countries.D. And if you end up on good terms with a Norwegian, don’t draw back.E. However, in India people will pack into trains and buses without a second thought.F. One theory the researchers wanted to test was whether climate affects personal space.G. The study certainly found that climate, age and gender have an effect on personal distance across cultures.第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学学生李华。
