AThe New Year is just around the corner! For many in the UK, if the New Year means anything, it means making a fresh-new start and turning over a new leaf. And to do this, many of us make New Year’s resolutions(决心) – a list of ways that we intend to improve ourselves in the year ahead. We reflect on our past faults and resolve not to do them again. Quitting smoking is ever popular, as is a vow(誓言)to take up more exercise or spend more time with family. But where does the idea of a New Year’s resolution come from?The answer might lie 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylonia, according to . The Babylonians are believed to be the first to hold recorded celebrations for the New Year. The 12-day-long celebration, Akitu, allowed them not only to reaffirm(重申) their loyalty to the king, or crown a new one, but also to promise to the gods to pay their debts and return borrowed objects. For their “good behaviors”, they believed the gods would bestow (恩赐) favor upon them for the year to come. If not, there would be consequences(承担责任) to take.The Romans had similar traditions, too. New Year’s Day was a time when senators (参议员) would swear they had upheld the laws and city leaders and soldiers would take an oath (誓言) of loyalty to the emperor. Incidentally, the month of January, is named after the Roman god Janus. He is the god of beginnings and transitions of time and is described as having two faces – one looking to the past and the other facing forwards the future.The Romans may be long gone, but their culture lives on. Whether you’re seeking for a quick behavioral adjust ment, or a huge personality change, you’re taking part in a tradition that dates back to centuries ago. Here comes the turn of the year, and our eyes turn inwards. We look at self-improvement, review o ur past mistakes, confess (忏悔) our wrong doings, seek atonement (弥补) and try to sharpen up(思考) in general. Eventually, much like the Babylonians and Romans, we seek to reaffirm the best parts of ourselves, while leaving the past behind.I wish you all the best, sticking to(坚持) your resolutions. Wish everyone an early Happy New Year!21.What can be inferred about the New Year in the passage?A.New Year’s resolutions are nothing more than quit smoking.B.New Year is always associated with(与….有关) starting a brand new life.C.Many people make New Year’s resolutions only to regret their past behaviors.D.The idea of making New Year’s resolutions dates back to the birth of mankind.22.What do we know about the ancient traditions to celebrate the New Year?A.The Babylonians celebrated the New Year for the first 12 days in February.B.The Romans would all swear that they had upheld the laws on New Year’s Day.C.The Romans were convinced that they would take severe consequences for their oaths.D.The Babylonians believed good behaviors during Akitu would bless them with good favor.23.What is one of the purposes of New Year’s resolutions for people of both ancient and modern times?A.To revise(改正) past mistakes and improve future self.B.To ask for gods’ favor on themselves for the new year.C.To pass down the precious traditions of human civilization.D.To confess their wrong doings and ask for gods’ forgiveness.BDear friends,I am Peng Liyuan, the WHO Goodwill Ambassador(友好大使) for TB (结核病) and HIV/AIDS. Congratulations on this High-Level Meeting, and greetings to you all!I became China’s Ambassador for TB in 2007, and the Goodwill Ambassador in 2011. It is a mission(使命) and responsibility I cherish(珍惜) dearly. For more than ten years, every year on March 24th, I’ve visited com munities with high TB prevalence(盛行) to help people raise awareness, change behavior and encourage actions.This year, I went to Hubei in central China. I shared with teenage students important TB-related knowledge, and ways to lead a healthy lifestyle and taught young children the importance of good personal hygiene(卫生)...On this trip, I also attended a ceremony to recognize outstanding TB campaigners. Most of them work at the grassroots and have great stories to share.I also wish to thank the media and our active supporters. Together with more than 700,000 volunteers in China’s TB programs, we have helped promote awareness, provide valuable knowledge and improve the understanding of TB to more than 75% of the population. Lives have been saved as a result.I myself stand witness(见证) to the rapid progress of TB programs in China. Thanks to better medical service, we can offer more timely and effective diagnosis(诊断)and treatment. In some areas, fighting TB is now an important part of the poverty reduction programs. Case detection rate increases, more patients are cured, and the incidence(发病) and mortality (死亡)continue to drop.It is the united effort of governments, international organizations, NGOs, experts and volunteers that has made this possible. However, daunting challenges remain. MDR(多重耐药菌) is still a major threat. Limited ways of treatment and insufficient funding are still the problems we face globally. The WHO has adopted the “End TB Strategy”. Now is the time to act. I call upon all of you to join us. Together, let us make a difference to the lives of millions affected, and stop tuberculosis (TB).I wish this meeting a great success. Thank you.24.The following statements about Peng Liyuan are TRUE EXCEPT that ___________ .A.she was appointed to be China’s Ambassador for TB in 2007B.she was the Goodwill Ambassador for TB and HIV/AIDS in 2011C.she is devoted to helping people raise their awareness of TB and encouraging actionsD.she has visited communities of high HIV/AIDS prevalence for more than 10 years25.What can we learn about China’s TB programs from the passage?A.They have improved the knowledge of TB for all Chinese.B.They have helped cure more than 75% of the TB patients.C.They have made rapid progress with better medical service.D.There are more than 700,000 TB volunteers in Hubei Province.26.What does the underlined word “daunting” probably mean in Paragraph 6?A.

That’s the future pictured by the Russian company StartRocket, which plans to launch billboard satellites into low-Earth orbit as early as 2021.“We are ruled by brands(品牌) and events,” StartRocket project leader Vlad Sitnikov told Futurism, “the Super Bowl, Coca Cola, Supreme, Brexit, the Olympics, FIFA; you name it. The economy is the blood system of society. Entertainment and advertising are at its heart. We will live in space in the future, and humankind will start delivering its culture to space. The more professional and experienced pioneers will make life better for ever yone.”However, not everyone agrees that having enormous billboard-style advertisements in the night sky will be good for mankind. Experts have argued that the bright ad banners (标语) could influence the ability to do astronomical research from the ground, or that those satellites will eventually become space junk and potentially affect more significant space activity or threaten aviation safety.Sitnikov doe sn’t seem to be bothered about the criticism his company’s project has received from the scientific community, though. He said, “If you ask about advertising and entertainment in general —haters gonna hate. We are developing a new medium —the first media in orbit.”Although technically accessible, the Orbital Display project is likely to face some difficulties. Still, we wouldn’t be surprised if, instea d of stars, we’ll be looking at ads from the world’s biggest brands when looking at the night sky in the not so distant future.28.What can we learn about StartRocket project from the first two paragraphs?A.The company aims to launch billboard satellites into space in 2021.B.Many famous brands and events have teamed up with the project.C.The company is one of the most professional and experienced pioneers.D.The project mainly focuses on developing entertainment for better future life.29.Which of the following is NOT a reason for some experts opposing(反对) StartRocket project?A.Because those satellites will eventually become space junk.B.Because those satellites are potential dangers for aviation safety.C.Because the banners will impact astronomical research from the earth.D.Because the ads might influence the enjoyment of gazing at the night sky.30.What is the passage mainly about?A.The StartRocket project will replace stars with twinkling ads billboards.B.Some experts and professionals are opposed to the StartRocket project.C.The Orbital Display project is faced with some technological difficulties.D.The Russian firm StartRocket is dedicated to(致力于) launching billboards into space.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. A research paper.B. A business journal.C. A news website.D. A travel magazine.DAre you planning to eat out tonight or are you going to stay in to save the pennies(省钱)? A meal out at a good restaurant or even a pizzeria can cost you a small fortune, so cooking for yourself makes financial sense. But with the rise in food prices, it’s important to be a wise shopper to keep your food bill in check.These days our supermarket shelves are packed with tempting food items, from the daily staples, like bread and milk, to the exotic, like mangoes and kiwifruits(猕猴桃). There’s also the option of buying ready meals – convenientfood that comes at a price. However, if you’re feeli ng hard up(拮据), there are things you can do to make the money you spend on food go further.According to the BBC Food website, it’s all about changing your habits. It claims that cooking fulfilling and tasty meals on a budget is easy. It suggests a number of “tricks” such as using cheaper cuts of meat, “choose small amounts of m eat with less expensive proteins” and “transform small quantities of leftovers into a heavy m eal”.A favorite entertainment of mine to help when money is tight is to stock up on items that are on special offer – such as BOGOF deals (Buy one, get one free). However, this is more of a problem when it comes to perishable(易腐烂的) items like fresh fruit and vegetables. In the UK, about 39% of household food waste is fruit and veg. So it’s a good idea not to stock up on too much of these things. Store them carefully and make the most of them in all your recipes.Food waste is a big problem generally, so shopping carefully can also reduce the amount we throw away. And in Edinburgh in Scotland, it’s possible to reduce waste and not break the bank by visiting a recycled food shop, which has been set up to prevent extra food from shops ending up in the bins(垃圾桶).Of course, the biggest thing you can do to help your cash flow is to cut back on take-away coffees and lunches. Cooking your own meals is usually healthier for you and your finances.32.According to the author, which of the following ways cost the least money?A. To have meals at a good restaurant.B. To cook meals for yourself at home.C. To buy exotic fruit and vegetables.D. To buy ready meals or convenient food.33.What does the author usually do to save the expenses on food?A.He chooses small amounts of meat with expensive proteins.B.He transforms large quantities of leftovers into a heavy meal.C.He stocks up on items of special offer – such as BOGOF deals.D.He makes all the perishable fruit and vegetables in all his recipes.34.How do some people reduce food waste in the UK?A.They often visits recycled food shops.B.They store most of their food carefully.C.They buy take-away coffees and lunches.D.They only throw away the perishable food.35.Which one can be the best title of this passage?A.Ways to Cook Tasty Meals at HomeB.Ways to Cut Daily Expenses on MealsC.Ways to Buy Food in the SupermarketD.Ways to Store Fresh Fruit and Vegetables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。
