Accessible only by boat or plane, the 6-kilometer-long area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Its dense forests are home to a variety of wildlife, including mountain goats, eagles, etc. Now, thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, the land will be preserved forever for future generations to enjoy.The chain of events began in June 2019, when three neighboring privately-owned land parcels came up for sale. With several logging companies expressing interest, BC Parks Foundation knew it had to do something to save the land. Although it had “zero funds”, the nonprofit foundation agreed to acquire the land for CAN $ 3 million(US$ 2.3 million). Fortunately, the owners gave the nonprofit three months to collect the money.After much consideration, the nonprofit decided to reach out to the general public through a crowdfunding campaign. To its surprise, money started rolling in from people worldwide. Among the donors was a class of fifth-grade students from Cambridge Elementary School in Surrey, British Columbia, who raised an impressive CAN $1,109 for the cause.But in spite of the outpouring of support, on August 28, 2019——the day of the sale deadline, the nonprofit was still short of CAN $ 100,000. Just as the officials thought there was no chance of success, a businessman from Vancouver stepped i n with the funds. He wrote, “These protected areas are our crown jewels, and I think it’s madness to consider letting them go for short-term economic gain when they always provide much more.”“It’s just an amazing thing people have done. They together have saved the fjord,” said BC Parks Foundation CEO Andrew Day. “Hopefully we do see more of this kind of thing, in the right places at the right time.”4．What can we say about Princess Louisa Inlet according to paragraph 1?A．It is a wild place and not approachable. B．It is impressive but not easily accessible.C．It is likely to be at risk of being in ruins. D．It is especially loved by indoor enthusiasts.5．What is beyond the expectation of BC Parks Foundation?A．People’s sincere pray for the Inlet.B．The sacrifice of logging companies.C．People’s support for the campaign.D．The permission to purchase the land.6．How did the officials feel at first on the day of the sale deadline?A．Hopeless. B．Cautious. C．Annoyed. D．Serious.7．Why are Andrew Day’s words mentio ned?A．To introduce the beauty of the wilderness. B．To stress the significance of the campaign.C．To show the benefits of exploring the fjord. D．To evaluate the value of Princess Louisa Inlet.CEcoTreasures, a young tour company based in Sydney, have involved a new plan in their Manly Coastal Walks to remove marine debris from Penguin habitats.The tour company specializes in Ecotourism experiences on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and withinKu-ring-gai Chase National Park, New South Wales. Ecotreasures have been lucky to host a range of international study tour students visiting Sydney this winter, who have been participating in the plan. The students arrive in Australia for short stays of generally 7—14 days, which consist of English lessons and Australia tour experiences. EcoTreasures owner, Damien McClellan, has been happy to host the students on his tours and to involve a new element in the half-day adventure, with a purpose to clean up marine debris that accumulates in the natural environment known to be the habitat for little penguins.McClellan has been very proud to run these tours, which highlight a range of environmental awareness messages, and mentions, “when we visit the little penguin habitat at Collins Beach in Sydney Harbour National Park we conduct a beach clean-up. The students always put in 110% and we remove as much as marine debris from the catchment(积水处) as possible. We are all giving back to the location we are appreciating because of its natural beauty, and I’m proud of all these internati onal guests caring for Australia’s environment.”The tours offer a great display of Sydney’s natural setting right on the city’s door step. Mr. McClellan also adds, “The students and teachers really enjoy their experience on the walk around Manly. We visit the beach, Sydney Harbour National Park, Cabbage tree Aquatic reserve and Manly suburbs all in a half day adventure. We always keep the walk fun and interesting by identifying native plants & searching for Whales from land with binoculars and other wildli fe along the way.”EcoTreasures was founded in 2010 by Damien McClellan, and the business is looking forward to working with more partners in the future, developing new ecotourism plans for a range of target markets, and keeping it fun is part of the plan. EcoTreasures is Advanced Ecotourism and ROC certified.8．What does EcoTreasures mainly specialize in?A．protecting Little Penguins.B．teaching students about environmental protection.C．cleaning up penguin habitats.D．holding ecotours in certain areas.9．The underlined word “debris” in Paragraph 1 has a similar meaning to _________A．water B．animal C．trash D．rock.10．What does Mr. McClellan want to express in the third paragraph?A．His appreciation for natural beauty. B．His purpose to run the tours.C．His pride to run the tours. D．The importance of raising environmental awareness. 11．We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ____________.A．the tours are pleasant and valuable. B．the tours make the students tired.C．the tours are held far from Sydney. D．the tours are held mainly for studentsDSorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but people of any age could train their brains to be faster and, in effect, younger. Your brain is a learning machine. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is dedicated (专注的) practice: exercises for the mind.A scientist has developed a computer—based training schedule to speed up how the brain processes information, Brain HQ. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to improve both speed and accuracy. Over the course of your training, the program starts asking you to distingui sh sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for instance) at an increasinglyfaster rate. It’s a bit like a tennis instructor, shooting balls at you faster and faster over the course of the summer to keep you challenged. Though you may have started out slow, a mon th later you’re pretty quick.The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly adaptable. If you ask your brain to learn it will learn. And it may speed up in the process. To keep your brain young, you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing Ping-Pong or contract bridge, doing puzzles, learning new language or a dance, taking piano lessons, building model airplane mastering gardening technique, discovering the secrets of beer-making and, sure, relearning advanced mathematics. Anything that closely engages your focus and is strongly rewarding will kick your brain into learning mode and will definitely improve it.12．Why did the author call our brain a learning machine?A．It works well at any age. B．It can be trained to be sharp.C．It helps you acquire knowledge. D．It can be used to store information.13．What are you asked to do during the Brain Fitness Program?A．Speak a language at a high speed. B．Tell apart words that sound similar.C．List words that have the same meanings.D．Receive tennis balls thrown by an instructor. 14．Which of the following best describes’ learning process of the brain?A．Faster and faster. B．Hard and difficult.C．Tired but delighted. D．Easy but beneficial.15．What do we know from the last paragraph?A．The function of the brain. B．Fitness program arrangement.C．Activities used to train the brain. D．Pleasure from different activities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFor or Against?—That Is the QuestionAndy is the most unreasonable and he makes me so angry that I could even scream sometimes!Of course,I sort of have to love him because he is my twin brother.Andy and Amy（that is me）have the same curly hair and dark eyes and are equally stubborn.Yet,on most issues we usually take opposite positions.Just this week in our school,there was a heated discussion on whether to adopt a school dress code. Every student would be required to wear a uniform.The teachers are divided:Some are in favor of the uniforms while others are opposed.The principal has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made.But she will have the final word on the dress code.I think a dress code is a good idea.The reason is simple.The less I have to decide first thing in the morning,the better.I can't tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare,unable to decide what to wear.Andy is shocked at my st night,he even dragged out my parents'high school photo albums to show me how brilliant they looked without uniforms!He also declared,"Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform.Bob Dylan wouldn't have been caught dead in a school uniform!Besides,when I am feeling political,I want to be able to wear clothes made of natural,undyed fibers,sewn or assembled in countries that do not pollute the environment or exploit child labor.If I have to wear a uniform,I won't feel like me!"To that I replied,"So your personal heroes didn't wear school uniforms.But they went to high school about a million years ago!I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego（自我）is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform."That really made him angry and he shouted,"You're just copying what you hear that new music teacher saying because you are crazy about him!"Fortunately,the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm,and we went to our separate classes.The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day.The results of the vote and the principal's decision will be announced next week.I wonder what it will be.I know how I voted,and I'm pretty sure I know how Andy voted.How would you vote---for or against?1．Amy and Andy often get angry with each other because______.A．they're both stubborn B．they like different teachersC．they always hold different views D．they don't like each other very much2．Amy holds the idea that______.A．school clothing should reflect parents'valuesB．teenagers should never follow the latest clothing fashionC．the way one dresses should be an expression of one's personalityD．wearing school uniforms means one makes less decision every morning3．Who will decide whether the students should wear uniforms?A．The principal.B．Their parents.C．Their teachers.D．Students themselves.4．In Paragraph5,Amy aims to say that______.A．Andy shouldn't look up to his heroes so muchB．our clothes should decide people's attitudes towards usC．Andy's lack of self-confidence is reflected in his clothingD．our clothes shouldn't determine how we feel about ourselvesBA study of more than five million books,both fiction and non-fiction,has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time.The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer,an online database for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books,to look for more than600particular words identified as representing anger,dislike,fear,joy,sadness and surprise.They found that almost all of the categories showed a drop in these“mood words”over time.Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage.“It is a steady and continuous decline,”said Dr Alberto Acerbi.He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature,in a crowded media landscape.“One thing could be that in parallel to books the20th century saw the start of other media.Maybe these media—movies,radio, drama—had more emotional content than books.”Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend,the research,published in the journal PLOS One,found that they also exhibited another interesting behavior:the ratio(比率)between the two varied greatly,apparently mirroring historical events.During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached its highest point that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash.Then,in1941,the ratio plunged at the height of World War II.Nevertheless,the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends.In the paper,they even argue that the opposite could be true.“It has been suggested,for example,that it was the suppression(压抑)of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing‘filled with romance’…perhaps,”they conclude,“songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body.”5．The study was carried out by way of_________.A．scanning the books with an online scanner B．counting the number of words in the booksC．searching digitized texts for emotional words D．analyzing different topics of the books6．Which of the following is one of the research findings?A．Usage decreased in all the categories of mood words.B．Usage of most mood words kept falling over time.C．The decline was caused by the rise of other media.D．The unfavorable position of literature led to the decline.7．What does the underlined word“plunged”probably mean?A．increased B．changed C．dropped D．twisted8．The researchers suspect that_______________.A．their research result reflected wider social trends.B．their research result was the contrary of social trends.C．there was a suppression of desire in Elizabethan English life.D．catwalk models reflect the population better than songs and books.COur emotions can vary considerably depending on many factors,including our health,wealth,relationships and where we live.But sometimes we need to take a step back and think about what happiness really means and how we can find it.Maybe we should take a leaf out of Finland's book—last year the UN's World Happiness Report found the country to be the happiest place on earth.The report looked at"subjective well-being".That's how happy people feel they are and why—based on factors such as economic strength,social support,life expectancy,freedom of choice and generosity.Research has also suggested that while personal feelings of pleasure are the accepted definition of happiness in Western cultures,East Asian cultures tend to see happiness as social harmony,and in some parts of Africa and India it's more about shared experiences and family.Author Helen Russell has been looking at the positive characteristics of a country's population to see what makes them happy and found Japan to be one of the most content.She said this was due to their concept of wabi-sabi—"This traditional Japanese concept around celebrating imperfection...it's this idea that there is a beauty in ageing,it's to be celebrated rather than trying to disguise it."So,basically,we should be happy with who we are and rejoice in our faults and individuality.But if you're feeling down in the dumps because your home country doesn't have a happiness concept to follow,consider some self-help ideas which include being virtuous,finding something to be passionate about, enjoying the here and now and being altruistic—helping others.However,our pursuit of happiness could make us miserable as we try to meet society's expectations and goals,making us anxious and stressed.Also,having too little experience of negative emotions can make us less adept(熟练的)at facing new challenges.9．What is happiness in East Asian cultures?A．Personal pleasure.B．Harmony of society.C．Subjective well-being.D．Shared experiences and family.10．What does the underlined word"rejoice"in Paragraph4probably mean?A．Be restless.B．Be tolerant.C．Be delighted.D．Be ashamed.11．What is the author's advice in the last paragraph?A．Setting up a happiness concept of your home country.B．Giving others in need a helping hand unselfishly.C．Thinking twice about accepting new challenges.D．Sticking to meeting society's expectations.12．What is this text most likely from?A．A diary.B．A guidebook.C．A novel.D．A magazine.DWolff

She paused for a while. And I could sense the glistening tears welling in her eyes. “From my husband’s uniform,” she said. “It’s one of the few things I had to remind me of him.” Suddenly, a surge of sympathy washed over me as I know that her husband maybe had passed on. Lifting my head, I tried to comfort her, but words failed me. She then lifted a grey one, casting a glance at me, and continued, “This is from my father…” The next few hours witnessed our chatting about the life in the buttons, pins and other items.Para 2 After our chat, I slid my hands into hers. Her eyes lifted to contact mine. Looking directly into her eyes, I smiled, “This box reminded me of my mom’s.” Hearing that, she froze there, surprise twisting her face.Then we separated and we all knew we would talk again, when I went to visit her at her new home.Upon arriving home, I headed into my own sewing room, where I would rediscover my own lifetime of memories in my own button box.。

ARachel Hore’s fascinating novels move between the past and the present. Her latest The House on Bellevue Gardens is set in London now and in the early 1960s.Best-selling author Rachel Hore’s previous novels include The Glass Painter’s Daughter, which was shortlisted(入围) for the 2010 Romantic Novel of the Year award, and A Gathering Storm, which was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award.Here, she shares three books that made an impact on her life.Orlandoby Virginia WoolfReading Orlando for the first time in my late teens gave me a wonderful sense of freedom and the possibilities that a life full of books can offer. Forever young, Orlando possesses “the strength of a man and a woman’s grace”.He lives through four centuries and has many disguises; sometimes he even changes his gender.It was an excellent literary work through history that excited and inspired me.Flight Behaviourby Barbara KingsolverI’ve read many of Barbara Kingsolver’s novels, including her well-known The Poisonwood Bible, admiring how easily she writes about the power and beauty of the natural world, of which humanity is a dependent part.I particularly love Flight Behaviour because she engages the reader easily with an ambitious subject for fiction —climate change.Her story makes us all care about what we are doing to our world.The Hawk in the Rainby Ted HughesWe were given The Thought Fox to read at school and I was so deeply impressed with its central image of the fox in the snow inspiring the poem that I spent that week’s money on the book it appears in. I read and re-read it and was amazed!I loved the writer’s technique of description, as well as the energy, the violence and the sensuousness (敏感) of those poems.Everyone should have their ‘discovery of poetry’moment, and mine was Ted Hughes.1．Which of the following books was shortlisted for the 2012 Historical Novel of the Year award?A．The House on Bellevue Gardens.B．The Glass Painter’s Daughter.C．A Gathering Storm.D．Flight Behaviour.2．Which book did Rachel Hore read when she was in her late teens?

AMany college students choose to study abroad to get life experience and, more importantly, competitive competence for their future career and life. Considering the high tuition rates in universities in the UK and US, many students nowadays are choosing less common destinations to fulfill their overseas study dreams. These countries have their own unique appeal.New ZealandSmall though it may be, New Zealand offers quality higher education opportunities, with about 55 percent of its higher education institutes within the top 500 of QS World University Rankings 2019.The highlight of New Zealand’s universities is their ability to provide a high end and student -tailored education for pupils. Though it attracts mainly wealthy students, higher education in New Zealand is also affordable for many common Chinese families. It is where you get a British -based education with the tuition being some of the lowest in the world.ItalyHeart of the Roman Empire and birthplace of the Renaissance, Italy is attractive to Chinese studentsfor its artistic and historic marvels.Similar to Germany, where publicly funded universities offer free undergraduate education, some publicly funded Italian universities offer tuition -free education for international students depending on the level of degree desired. Italy is the 4th most popular study abroad destination in Europe. Each year, over 4,000 Chinese students further their studies at publicly funded Italian universities.CanadaThough Chinese students form the largest international student group in Canada, the country only ranks 4th on Chinese students’ most desirable overseas destinations list.However, the situation may begin to change as Canada and China agreed on new visa policy in early March. Under the policy travel visas are issued with lengths of up to 10 years, which benefits Chinese parents whose children are studying in Canada. Another advantage of studying in Canada, according to an official in the Canadian Embassy to China, is that students can get a three -year working visa right after graduation.21. What is the best part of New Zealand universities? A. They offer British -based education. B. They are the best universities in the world.C. They provide the highest quality education opportunities.D. They provide education specially designed for students.22. What do we know about Italian universities? A. They are modeled after Germany in funding.B. They sponsor all foreign students throughout the college time.C. They offer free undergraduate education in some publicly funded universities.D. They make Italy the 4th most popular study abroad destinations in the world. 23. What do the universities in the three countries have in common? A. They relatively don’t need high expenses. B. They offer working visa after graduation. C. They have convenient application process. D. They are famous for historical and artistic reasons. 【答案】21-23 DCA【解析】这是一篇说明文。

AAs a young woman who was always interested in style, I got lucky in interning(实习) with a fashion company in Tokyo, last summer.I worked as an assistant in the Business Planning Department, helping with marketing for the 2007 Spring/Summer collections. Fashion is a beautiful industry. But against my expectation, it also has lots of ordinary work. Every day, I would do sample testing, prepare the brochure for future launches, and meet with customers and visitors.Japanese companies had a traditional work style. We had a meeting every morning at 9 o'clock. Every Monday, all employees, including those in other parts of Japan, would take part in a conference call. Every afternoon, after finishing work, each of us would say goodbye to every manager in the company, which took more than five minutes.All of this kept me fresh. And the strict work atmosphere caused me to work harder. At the end of last August, the company's 2007 Spring/Summer collection started with a big show and was very successful. Lots of customers showed an interest in our products, including a businessman from Hong Kong.He went to our company for more details on the products, but he couldn't speak Japanese and none of the staff spoke good English.Just when the situation seemed helpless, I offered to give it a try. I was a Japanese major, but I had also practiced my English often. My translation job was praised by both the customer and my boss. And the guest made a big purchase.The two-month internship taught me a lot about business. And the pay - 150,000 yen, or over 10,000 yuan a month- was enough to cover my daily living costs in Tokyo.Moreover, the experience made me stand out. Every interviewer I've spoken with showed an interest and discussed my internship with me.And thanks to this experience, I've found a good job in one of the Big Four accounting firms and will start working this summer.21. Before she interned(实习) in the fashion company in Tokyo, the writer ______A. did not like the fashion.B. imagined it being beautiful and simply.C. didn’t expect a fashion industry had lots of work as ordinary as normal.D. was nervous about it.22. What would each of the employees in Japanese Companies do every afternoon?A. They do sample testing.B. They meet with customers and visitors.C. They prepare the brochure for future launches.D. They say good bye to every manager.23. Why does the writer work harder?A. Because she is often kept freshB. Because Japanese traditional strict work style causes her to.C. Because a meeting every morning is held.D. Because they hold a conference call every Monday.24. What can you learn from the passage?A. Internship usually plays an important role in finding a good job.B. Chinese are good at English.C. Japanese are good at spoken English.D. And the pay the writer got was enough for her future life.BA Grassroots RemedyMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whoseaccommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is doneto the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and im pulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, after all.25. What does the author say people prefer for their children nowadays?A. Personal freedom.B. Things that are natural.C. Urban surroundings.D. Things that are purchased.26. Children who have chances to explore natural areas ________.A. tend to develop a strong love for scienceB. are more likely to fantasise about wildlifeC. tend to be physically tougher in adulthoodD. are less likely to be involved in bullying27. What does the author suggest we do to help children with ADHD?A. Find more effective drugs for them.B. Provide more green spaces for them.C. Place them under more personal care.D. Engage them in more meaningful activities.28. Dr William Bird suggests in his study that ________.A. humanity and nature are complementary to each otherB. wild places may induce impulsive behaviour in peopleC. access to nature contributes to the reduction of violenceD. it takes a long time to restore nature once damagedCCaught in the WebA few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs –leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. "TheInternet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.● Longing for more and more time at the computer.● Neglect of family and friends.● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.● Lying to employers and family about activities.● Inability to s top the activity.● Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because theyfind themselves so relaxed."Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction.""I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work,to takecare of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."29. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?A. Her daughter's repeated complaints.B. Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.C. The poorly managed state of her house.D. The high financial costs adding up.30. What does the author say about excessive Internet use?A. People should be warned of its harmful consequences.B. It has become virtually inevitable.C. It has been somewhat exaggerated.D. People haven't yet reached agreement on its definition.31. Jonathan Bishop believes that the Internet overuse problem can be solved if people ______.A. try to improve the Internet environmentB. become aware of its serious consequencesC. can realize what is important in lifeD. can reach a consensus on its definitionDColleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginningwith students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school.For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,” says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it.“As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,” says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about$ 1 million a year, “served us well,” Inzer says, but “to be discounting the price for families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains by far the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutional grants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growing faster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and 2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% for need-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bid to enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, a growing chorus(异口同声)of critics has begun pressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign that people are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition going on,” says Baum, co-author of a recent College Report that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based on need.David Laird, president of the Minnesota Private College Council, says many of his schools would like to reduce their merit aid but fear that in doing so, they would lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sided action,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption(豁免)from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss how they could jointly reduce merit aid,“This is a merry-go-round that’s going very fast, and none of the institut ions believe they can sustain the risks of trying to break away by themselves.”A complicating factor is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’t qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, as tuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That’s one reason Allegheny College doesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe in rewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly value the sch olarship,” says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president for enrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a $4.7 billion endowment(捐赠), meanwhile, is taking another approach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy students and cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its 28-year-old merit program.“Yeah, we’re playing the merit game,” acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraduate education. But it has its strong point, too, he says. “The fact of the matter is, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average American middle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aid offered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generallyknown as academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic merit scholarships are based on students’ grades, GPA and overall academic performance during high school. They are typically meant for students going straight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarships for current college students with exceptional grades as well. These merit scholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewed each year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases, students may need to be recommended by their school or a teacher as part of the qualification process.Athletic merit scholarships are meant for students that excel(突出)in sports of any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for these scholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to be recognized by a coach or a referee(裁判). Applicants need to send in a tape containing their best performance.Artistic merit scholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. This generally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music, dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requires that students submit a portfolio(选辑)of some sort, whether that includes a collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or a video of them dancing.32. With more and more low-income students pursuing higher education, a number of colleges are________.A. offering students more merit-based aidB. revising their financial aid policiesC. increasing the amount of financial aidD. changing their admission processes33. The chief purpose of rankings-conscious colleges in offering merit aid is to ______.A. improve teaching qualityB. boost their enrollmentsC. attract good studentsD. increase their revenues34. In recent years, merit-based aid has increased much faster than need-based aid due to ______.A. more government funding to collegesB. fierce competition among institutionsC. the increasing number of top studentsD. schools’ improved financial situations35. What is the attitude of many private colleges toward merit aid, according to David Laird?A. They would like to see it reduced.B. They regard it as a necessary evil.C. They think it does more harm than good.D. They consider it unfair to middle-class families.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Rachel and I have been writing letters to each other since the 8th grade. My reading teacher at the time helped our class find pen pals through a company called International Youth Service (unfortunately closed in 2008).On February 28, 2006, I received a letter back from the girl from England. Our letters started to turn into novellas(中篇小说) pretty quickly. We began spilling our guts to each other about all sorts of teenage stuff—boys, namely.We continued writing letters throughout college, but they started to slow down with the age of the Internet and Facebook. It was both a blessing and a curse, because if I needed to share something with her right away, I didn't have to wait two weeks for a response. But there was still no better feeling than opening up my mailbox and seeing past the advertisements and campus happenings and finding a letter with her handwriting on the envelope waiting for me.One would think that we are more connected than ever in a world of text messaging and social media—but honestly, I don't think this could be further from the truth. We are losing the personal touch, the quality of the time it takes to put into a friendship. Think about letter writing—it's not expensive. An international stamp costs $1.15.It's not the expense. It's the time. The time it takes to go to the store and pick out a card or stationary. The time it takes to actually hand-write a letter. The time it takes to address the envelope, go to the post office, pay, and mail the letter out. And I believe this is what makes letter writing so personal and special.4.How did Michelle find a pen pal?A.By reading a novel.B.By travelling to England.C.Through the Internet.D.Through a company.5.Why did Michelle’s letter writing slow down?A.Because the Internet occupied more communication.B.Because she didn’t want to wait too long for a reply.C.Because opening up the mailbox is troublesome.D.Because too many advertisements took up the mail box.6.What happens in a world of text messaging and social media?A.We become closer to each other.B.We are losing the quality time of friendship.C.Letter writing becomes more expensive.D.Letter writing becomes cheaper.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Letter writing takes too much time.B.Letter communication needs several steps.C.Time spent in letter writing makes it valuable.D.Time spent in letter writing makes it expensive.三、（2021·林芝第二高级中学高三下一模）Every day, we have messages to give people through Post-it Notes. They have a special glue on the edge (边缘) of the paper. They are sticky so that you can leave them anywhere and they won`t fall off. You can reuse the notes because the special glue on the back doesn`t wear off easily.Who invented Post-it Notes? Art Fry was a scientist who worked for the famous 3M Company. He needed a bookmark that stayed in place but didn`t tear the page when he wanted to remove it. So he took some of the weak glue a friend made and put it on the back of a yellow piece of paper. Then he wrote a report to his boss and put the yellow sticky paper on the top page. His boss took off the note, wrote an answer, stuck the paper back on, and sent it back. Thiswas the beginning of Post-it Notes. It was a new and creative way to communicate.Today, Post-it Notes are one of the most popular office products. Everyone uses them for many different purposes. One man used one to write a marriage proposal (求婚) and put it on his girlfriend`s front door. She wrote her answer and put the note back on his door. One mother put a note on the back of her son`s car before he left on a long trip. When he arrived, he found the note. After 3,000 miles, it was still on the car. One university student was waiting in the bus station and started to feel sleepy. She didn`t want to miss her bus so she put Post-it Notes all over herself. The notes asked people to wake her up in time for her bus. She did fall asleep but her plan worked. Someone saw the notes and woke her up.There are Post-it Notes to please everyone`s tastes. You can buy Post-it Notes in fifty different colors, twenty-seven different sizes, and fifty-six different shapes. More than 400 Post-it products are sold in more than 100 countries around the world. Art Fry should be proud of his invention.8.What do we know about Post-it Notes?A.They use a strong glue to be sticky enough.B.They fall off easily.C.They are one-off products.D.They are used to leave messages.9.Art Fry got the idea of Post-it Notes when ________.A.he was making some glueB.he was discussing with his bossC.he creatively glued a torn reportD.he accidentally created a bookmark10.Why did the university student cover herself in Post-it Notes?A.To find out what time the bus left.B.To prevent herself from falling asleep.C.To ask someone to wake her up in time.D.To tell others to leave her alone.11.What can we learn about the progress of Post-it Notes?A.They are popular in many places.B.They require design improvement.C.They have failed to meet everyone’s needs.D.They would not satisfy Art Fry`s expectation.四、（2021·广西省梧州市高三三月联考）This may sound like a joke about a lazy person's dream job: Earn big money by staying in bed and watching TV. But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It's called Artificial Gravity Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects all men, already have started the study.Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed."Daily routine showering getting dressed eating exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website adding that there is “continuous data collection, including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted (倾斜) down six degrees which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.The high $18, 500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55 in good health, with normal body weight.12.What are participants expected to do during the study?A.Report their feelings regularly.plete their daily routines in bed.C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees.D.Record their physical responses every day.13.What data about the participants will the researchers collect?A.The changes in their weight.B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.C.The ways they do their dailyD.Their physical and mental reactions.14.What will be a challenge for the participants?A.The language skills they need.B.The difficulty meeting family.C.The possibility that they feel dull.D.The slow discovery of their health.15.The requirements for potential participants are______.A.challenging for AmericansB.tailored to thin personsC.easy for the youth to satisfyD.suitable for most people五、（2021·贵州毕节高三上学期诊断性考试）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Coronavirus(冠状病毒) Pandemic was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of uncertainty, fear, loneliness and even despair. "Social Distancing** had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms shut* and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until furl her notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were l»re. ()n the news the numbers of sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My own family was staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however. that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made my face smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there now. With him was my younger son sformer aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck al home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor. Mr. Roger's once said：**In the bad times, always look for the helpers. ”I have no doubt this crisis will pass as all the crisis before it have. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from （car.

When this happens, air can't flow normally into or out of the lungs, so the child can t breathe properly.The trachea is usually protected by epiglottis （喉头盖）.It allows food to pass down and go into our stomach and it also prevents food from going down the trachea. But every once in a while, the epiglottis doesn't close fast enough and an olqcct can slip into the trachea. This is what happens when some! hi ng "goes down the wrong pipe. ”Most of the time, the food or object only partially blocks the t rachca• is coughed up, and breathing returns to normal quickly. Kids who seem to be choking and coughing but still can breathe and talk usually recover without help. It can be uncomfortable for them, but they're generally fine after a few seconds.Sometimes, an object can get into the trachca and completely block the airway. If airflow into and out of the lungs is blocked and the brain will become short of oxygen, choking can become a lik-threatening emergency. A child may be choking and need help right away if he or she can t breathe• or can t talk or make noise.If you have kids, it s important to get trained in both CPR（心肺夏苏）and the technique of alxlominal thrusts （腹部施压）・Even if you don't have kids* knowing how to perform these first-aid procedures will let you help if someone is choking.All kids arc at risk for choking, but those younger than 3 arc especially at risk. Young kids tend to put things in their mouths, have smaller airways that arc easily blocked. and don't have a lot of experience chewing, so they might swallow things whole.Take the time now to become prepared CPR and first-aid courses arc a must for parent other caregivers, and babysitters. To find one in your area. contact your local American Red Cross. YMCA, or American Hcart Association chapicr. or check with hospitals and healthdepartments in your community.28.When docs choking take place?A.An object gets down into the trachea.B.An object gets down into the stomach.C.Children cat too much food.D.An object chokes the trachea partly.29.A child will need first aid when __________ .A. he or she doesn't feel comfortableB. he or she is short of foodC.the child cannot breatheD. the child coughs badly30.

How choking takes place.C. When to offer first aid.D・ The necessity of learning first aid.1)Micro plastics are tiny bits of plastic* often too small to be seen. Plastic doesn't **decompose w like natural materials. Instead, it just breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. No one knows exactly how much plastic is in the oceans. Since the sea is so large and so deep, it s hard to get a good idea of how much plastic it contains. But in recent years, scientists have made greater efforts to get a more accurate idea.Some studies have suggested that since 1950. about 17 million metric tons(公吨)of plastic have entered the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists believe that the plastic previously found on beaches and on the surface of the water is only about 1% of all the plastic in the oceans. Researchers from the United Kingdom (UK) want al to find out where the ot her 99% was.For two months in 2016・the researchers took samples at 12 different locations in the Atlantic Ocean* from the UK to South America. They collect txl water samples from three different depths in the top 200 meters. By running the water through special fllters(过滤器)，they were able to collect the micro pl astics, which they could view and study with a microscope.Based on their mcasurment s. the researchers learned that just the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean holds between 12 and 21 million metric tons of plastics. But the Atlantic Ocean is very deep, and the scientists only checked the top 200 meters. They say that if microplastics are spread through the rest of the Atlantic like they were in the top 200 meters, thin there arc probably about 200 million metric tons of microplastics in the Atlantic Ocean.Though the scientists only studied the Atlantic ocean* the results suggest that there may be far more tnicroplastic in all oceans than we realized. The problems go far beyond ocean pollution. Microplastic particles have been found just alx)ut everywhere around the world • from Antarctica to the lx)ttom of the sea.Scientijits predict that the amount of plastic entering our oceans is likely to triplet 成三ff?) over the next 20 yvars. Having a good idea of how much plastic is already then* might be a good first step to fighting the problem.32.What docs the underlined word "decompose w in Paragraph 1 mean?A. turn upB. break downC. give offD. bring out33.What is the latest idea about the plastic in the seas?A.Previous data of plastic consists of only a very small part.B.There is only 17 million metric ton^ of plastic on the earth.C.The amount of plastic in the seas is on the decrease in recent years.D.The amount of plastic in the seas is increasing by 1 % yearly.34.What is the author s attitude according to the text?A. Pessimistic.B. Confident.C. Objective.D. Conserved.35.Wliat dot's the author expect to lake place?A.More pollutants will turn out in the future.B.Measures will be taken to deal with plastic.C.The oceans will be cleaned in the future.D.More people will be aware of plastic pollution. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分.满分12.5分）阅读下面短文.从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中冇两项为多余选项.Crows arc not the most beautiful bird.
