Thankfully, there are loads of parks and grand green spaces in London to escape to for a lunchtime picnic break, an after-work snack or a weekend-long feast in the fresh air.Kew GardensSome of the coolest picnic spots in the city are within the flowery borders of famous Kew Gardens. You have to pay to have a look around but it’s totally worth it— especially to have a walk inside the newly reopened Temperate House, which is stuffed full of impressive rare plants. Once you’ve spent on entry (£16.50), bringing a picnic will definitely save you some pennies.Primrose HillIt’s easy to see why Primrose Hill is so popular during long and sleepy summer afternoons, thanks to those incredible views across the city. But it’s not just the skyline that makes this a popular dining destination. The peak of Primrose Hill is also a short walk from Abbey Road (hello Beatles fans) and London Zoo.Holland ParkHolland Park is often overshadowed by its royal neighbour Kensington Palace Gardens, but it’s an undeniably picturesque picnic spot. There’s a lot to see, from woodland and wil dlife to sculpture and the Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens, plus there are tennis courts, football pitches and spots to play golf, cricket and netball, so you can have a side of sport with your sausage rolls.Green ParkEnjoying a picnic in Green Park is guaranteed to be a lively affair. Visitors and locals alike flock here thanks to the park’s rather famous neighbour. The Queen’s Gaff aside, Green Park has its own rather attractive scenery, with statues, water fountains and, in spring, daffodils as far as the eye can see.21. What does the writer try to introduce to us?A. Sports fields.B. Picnic places.C. Historical sites.D. Community parks.22. Which might a sportsman like best?A. Kew Gardens.B. Primrose Hill.C. Holland Park.D. Green Park.23. What do Green Park, Primrose Hill and Holland Park have in common?A. They are near another famous site.B. They have a famous popular skyline.C. They all have statues and water fountains.D. They are overshadowed by their neighbours.BArjun's AppsOne stormy day, twelve-year-old Arjun Kumar was late getting home from school. It had been raining heavily near his school in Chennai, India. This delayed his school bus, and when he finally arrived, Arjun’s parents were worried.His parents’ concern gave Arjun an idea—he’d create an app, which can tell parents the location of their children’s school bus. While researching different ways to write apps, Arjun located an online programming tool on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT was making the tool, called App Inventor, available to anyone who wanted to use it. As the motto on MIT's website states, "Anyone Can Build Apps That Impact the World."Arjun got to work doing just that. Using App Inventor, he c reated an app called “Ez School Bus Locator.” If a school introduced this app into its bus system, parents could log on to see the locations and estimated arrival times of their children’s school bus. Like other mapping apps, Ez School Bus Locator relied on GPS. GPS helps users determine their location, based on signals from a set of twenty-four satellites that orbit Earth. GPS-based apps calculate the location of a device by measuring the distances from three different GPS satellites. That's how Arjun's app determined where the buses were located.The app could also confirm whether individual children were on the bus. Ez School Bus Locator used a specific bar code to identify each student. Students checked in when they got on and off the bus by using bar codes on their phones. As the bus driver drove, the app sent automatic messages to parents.Does Ez School Bus Locator sound like a good idea? MIT thought so. In 2012, MIT held a contest to honor the best apps that had been created using App Inventor. Arjun's app won first place in the K-8 division, and in 2013, the app was available for purchase online.Arjun didn't stop there. He continued developing new apps and he even started his own software development company. When asked for pointers for other young inventors, Arjun advised, “Look for problems around you, and get inspired from them. You’ll see a lot of opportunities to use your skills to make this world a better place to live!”24. What is the passage mainly about?A. The life of inventor Arjun Kumar.B. A student's invention of a bus locator app.C. How App Inventor helped Arjun write an app.D. the rainy weather in India affected traffic.25.What do we know about Arjun's app from the passage?A. It could be downloaded online for free.B. It helped the children know where they were.C. It was introduced by Arjun into the school bus system.D. It used bar codes to track which children were on board.26.Why did Arjun continue to work on software d evelopment?A. To inspire more young inventors.B. To win many awards for his inventions.C. To solve problems that he saw in the world.D. To earn money to continue his education at MIT.27. What can we learn from Arjun Kumar's story?A. Youth means limitless possibilities.B. A man owes his success to his family support.C. If you don't aim high, you will never hit high.D. Good problem solvers are problem finders first.CA 23-year-old British woman has invented a product that she hopes will one day replace single-use plastic.The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (水藻). It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away. Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University.MarinaTex is edible, to put it in another way, it can be tasted without danger. Hughes says it is also strong and stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex biodegrades (生物降解) in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil. The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters. She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans by the year 2050. The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans. Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry. The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, UN officials say.Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did no harm to the environment. “Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers (聚合体) when nature has so many already available?” she asked. After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is stronger, safer and much more sustainable than plastic. It is also easier to break down. Hughes will receive about $ 41,000 prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award. She plans to use the money to further develop the product and ways to mass produce it. “Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further, and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste,” Dyson said.28. What do we know about MarinaTex?A. It is a safe seafood.B. It is a kind of waste.C. It is a new kind of plastic.D. It is a safe material that can replace plastic.29. What does the underlined wor d “edible" in paragraph 2 mean?A. useful.B. eatable.C. replaceable.D. delicious.30. What gets Hughes to create MarinaTex?A. Her concern about the growing amount of plastic in ocean.B. Her occupational habit of trying out new things.C. Her hope to help develop the fishing industry.D. Her desire to win the prize money.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We need to have hundreds of MarinaTex available.B. Hughes produced MarinaTex without much effort.C. MarinaTex will be a good solution to plastic waste.D. Hughes is the first winner of the James Dyson Award.DResearchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it's not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from Spain to Iran.The continent is called Greater Adria. It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you've been there without even knowing it. "Forget Atlantis, said Douwe, study author and professor at Utrecht University. " Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria. ” This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas：the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans, Greece and Turkey. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago.This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The leftover piece, which was covered in lava (岩浆)，is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.Greater Adria isn't the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely won't be the last discovery.32. How did the researchers find Greater Adria?A. They found it accidentally.B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.C. They discovered it after years of searching.D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.33. What do we know about Greater Adria?A. It is hidden under the sea level.B. It is much smaller than Greenland.C. It has existed for about 240 million years.D. It has been known to many tourists before.34. Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.B. To show some other lost continents have been found.C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Atlantis Discovered FinallyB. Undersea World ExploredC. A Hidden Mountain UndiscoveredD. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）It is believed that raisins (葡萄干) were discovered in the Middle East, where they were treasured. Any food that wouldn't spoil in the hot sun was very valuable. Prehistoric drawings in France show that raisins have been enjoyed in southern Europe for thousands of years. 36In 1000 B.C. the Jews paid their taxes with raisins. Two jars of raisins in ancient Rome could buy one slave boy. 37In North America, the original mistake of leaving grapes to wither (枯萎) on the vine was not the only time raisins accidentally became popular. In the 1870s many people were growing grapes in California. 38 Most Americans had never heard of raisins at that time. In September, 1873 a severe heat wave struck the area. Before the growers could pick all their grapes, they withered on the vine. The grapes were lost. One grower took the dried grapes to a grocer in San Francisco. 39 The new accidental raisins grew into a major industry in California. Today almost all the raisins eaten in the United States are grown in California. California produces a third of the world's raisins.40 Raisins also provide potassium, magnesium, calcium and certain B vitamins. Without added preservatives (防腐剂), raisins will stay fresh, delicious and nutritious if kept in a cool place. Raisins are tiny, portable and above all delicious.A. They have been used for necklaces and as religious symbols.B. Raisins are children's favorite snacks.C. The grapes were either eaten as fresh fruit or were made into wine.D. The grocer was unwilling to buy the dried grapes.E. Raisins are high in iron, which is important to children's growing bodies.F. Roman doctors believed raisins could cure anything from mushroom poisoning to old age.G. The grocer's customers discovered that raisins made a delicious treat.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）It took about three weeks for me to become mute.
