John Montefiore's path to graduation from theUniversityofTorontowas a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995.
Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished businessuntil he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future.
The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an important role in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time. As a student much older than others, he found it harder to make friends with classmates.
However, no matter what had happened before, he finally got his bachelor's degree. He said, “After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. It's not necessarily the value that other people see in it, but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidence and my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.”
4. Why was Montefiore's graduation unusual?
A. He had achieved personal success before.
B. He understood the importance of a degree.
C. He finished his degree at a much older age.
D. He began his university study at a young age.
5. What does the underlined word "stalled" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Stopped.
B. Started.
C. Survived.
D. Succeeded.
6. What can we learn about Montefiore from the third paragraph?
A. He got good grades very easily.
B. He took his study seriously this time
C. He was thankful for his classmates' help
D. He had difficulty using support services.
7. What did Montefiore learn from his experience?
A. Confidence is important in one's life.
B. Others' opinions on education matter a lot.
C. Higher education is a must for personal success.
D. Education makes one feel better about himself.
C
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.
Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”
In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
8. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?
A. Protecting the animals can make money.
B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.
C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.
D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.
9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.
B. Why antelopes' living places changed.
C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.
D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.
10. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Deleted.
B. Changed.
C. Migrated.
D. Recognized.
11. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?
A. They will be over-populated.
B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.
C. They will be on the endangered species list again.
D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.
D
There have been many fine films over the past several years aboutcharacters struggling with Alzheimer’s disease. But few of them have gone as deeply and frighteningly into the corners of adeterioratingmind as The Father,a powerful new drama built around a spellbinding performance from Anthony Hopkins.
At this point in his long career,Hopkinswould seem to have exhausted his ability to surprise us, but his work here is nothing short of astonishing. His character, also named Anthony, is 80 years old and has dementia. At the beginning of the movie, his daughter, Anne — played by Olivia Colman — stops by hisLondonapartment to check on him. Her father's condition has taken a turn for the worse, and his temper has become severe enough to send his latest live in nurse packing. Anthony is stubborn and defiant and insists that he can manage on his own. But that's clearly not the case, given his habit of misplacing his things and his inability to remember names and faces, Anne's included.
As The Father goes on, the more it becomes clear that it's his own mind that's playing tricks on him. What makes the movie so unsettling is the way it wires us directly into his subjective experience, so that the foundations of the story seem to shift at random from scene to scene. A man suddenly appears in the apartment, claiming to be Anne's husband, which is odd, since just a few moments earlier, Anne seemed to be single. Anne goes out shopping for groceries, but when she returns, she's played not by Olivia Colman but by another actress, Olivia Williams. Even the apartment itself begins to shift. You notice puzzling differences-wasn't there a lamp on that hallway table just a moment ago?
The story in The Father may be complicated but it's also heartbreakingly simple: man grows old and loses his memory, and his daughter, after lifetime of love and devotion, must begin the long painful process of saying goodbye.Hopkinsshows us Anthony's struggle to keep his sense about him. It's a striking performance-and an impossible one to forget.
12. What does the underlined word “deteriorating” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Worsening.
B. Narrowing.
C. Recovering.
D. Improving.
13. What do we learn about the character Anthony in the movie?
A. He can take care of himself
B. He drives away the nurses.
C. He is easy-going and forgetful.
D. He lives with his daughter all the time.
14. The shift of scenes in the movie is designed to .
A. build the dramatic tension in the family.
B. show off the well-designed story line.
C. frighten the movie-goers with mysterious plot.
D. involve the viewers into thedisordered memories.
15. What does the author think ofHopkins?
A. He has run out of his talent.
B. He is not suitable for the role
C. He masterly plays the old man.
D. He presents an odd performance.

A walk along Shanghai’s Suzhou Creek was, for much of the 20th century, best undertaken with a handkerchief covered firmly over the nose. Liquid waste from factories poured directly into its waters.

Last month my family made about a trip to Brazil. We fly to Rio first. There we stayed at the Green Park Hotel, that was about one kilometre from the beach. It was very comfortable and really cheap. I could swam every day. There was music festival and a lot of famous musicians went to play there. We were such lucky to be able to go to some free concerts. Then we drove south to a city calling Paraty. The weather there were great and the people were friendly and nicely. The only problem was the food.

Joan MacDonald is 75 years old this year. She started hitting the gym on a regular basis just a few years ago at the age of 70.
Back then, Joan was out of shape and at a low point in her life. She was dealing with added pounds and a trip to the doctor only confirmed her fears that her health was on the decline. Worse still, the treatments given by her doctor weren't working well. Her blood pressure was still high, and she also had kidney (肾) problems. After a tough conversation with her daughter who is a personal trainer, Joan knew she needed to be the one to make a change. So she began to work out at once.
In January, 2017, she flew down to Mexico. There her daughter was hosting a kind of camp for women like her, who hoped to lose some weight and feel their best. It was there that she learned how to document her journey on Instagram. It was very tiring at the beginning because she had to learn the skills as well as doing something challenging with her body. She had to learn how to eat properly, how many meals to eat, and how to do her exercises, hoping that she got them done right.
It was especially difficult, because while Joan was dealing with all of the physical diseases that result from aging, she was also fighting against a generational mindset, one that didn't look at exercise and eating healthily the same way we do now.
She managed to stay active all these years by chasing after her children, taking care of her family and prioritizing everyone else's needs above her own. But when her kids grew up. Joan didn't have many hobbies that got her up and moving. Therefore, sharing her fitness photos on Instagram became that hobby.
注意：
1.写作词数应为150左右；
2.请按加下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Joan has 1. 3 million fans on Facebook.
