City farms save a lot of energy.CIn the long history of pipe-assisted drinking—beginning with the gold beer-sipping tubes of the Sumerians —Starbucks's plastic straws（吸管）knew they had some advantages over the rest.Their tight white wrapping carried not only English words but a French style.They stood straight and tall as a stalk （秆）of wheat，with no ugly appearance.And their colour was beautiful.It was darker than the leaves of spring，and lighter than the Washington forests and the logo of the company.But despite all that，they were to disappear by 2020，for not being green enough.Of course，the straws played an important part in daily life.You could build a cottage with them，or make a hat.At best，they might compose a mat.Their nearest relatives were not delicate grasses，but single-useplastic tubes.Yet this did not concern them，because they had a higher calling：to refresh human beings.Rather than pumping up the customer with hot highly-effective Americanos，they cooled him with less caffeine and more play.People，especially teenagers and children，needed them to socialize，and amuse themselves.All these folk could have drunk their Frappuccino or their iced teas directly from the plastic cup，of course. Some did，ignoring the eager straws standing ready.Fun was why green straws had been put into use at all.They began their service not when Starbucks was founded，in 1971，but when it introduced the Frappuccino almost three decades later.Green straws marched in，along with whipped cream.They meant happiness.Yet for each of those straws，the Frappuccino and its followers faced a serious challenging.Through the flat plastic lids of iced coffees，now sharply scored with a cross，they were expected to do the same.However，the straws were thrown to the bin，either in-store or in the street after being used.They lay where they were thrown in woods，or fields，or among the hills.They would never be dust.They had eternal（永久的）life.That's the reason why they would disappear.8. Why would Starbucks's plastic straws disappear？______A. They were not environmentally friendly.B. They were not widely used in everyday life.C. They took on an ugly look in appearance.D. They were uncomfortable for followers to use.9. What effect did straws have on people？______A. Calming.B. Uplifting.C. Disturbing.D. Depressing.10. What does the underlined word "Some" refer to in paragraph 3？______A. Humans.B. Straws.C. Iced teas.D. Plastic tubes.11. What is the best title for the passage？______A. Why Are the Green Straws So Popular？B. Protecting the Environment s Our DutyC. Don't Drink Iced Frappuccino Any MoreD. Say Goodbye to Starbucks's Green StrawsDHave you ever imagined what technology might look like in the future？Everything becomes easier，which is one tap.Over the course of human history，technology gradually can become so convenient and more than.And because of that，technology has been a large part of human life in the past 20 cators also use technology to teach children about the use of technology in the current time.Is that everything technology can do with education today？If you ask me，I would say parents who should be closest to their children should also use these wonderful tools in families' education too.So why do Imention family's education here and what does technology do with it？Many people，especially parents，think they shouldn't let their children interact with social network at this age.Don't you think they are too young for it ？They may fall，they may become addicted to it，and not care about their parents anymore.And that's why technology becomes used widely in many places，like schools and companies，but not in families.However，technology does carry many risks，and if you don't know how to use and understand this probably it can easily lead to many disadvantages，especially for children，because they may not be aware enough of these dangers.But fortunately，the disadvantages are avoidable.Families could set logical time to limit the children to use their electronic devices.Parents can also apply technology to teaching their children，so that games and videos are suitable for children with a certain amount of time.Through technology，children can have more opportunities and more time to explore and develop themselves，and understand what they really like and find the true path in the future.These are things that often in school，children don't get much access to because they have to spend more time on other subjects，like social science and maths.That's why this is a good choice for parents to use technology to help children discover themselves at home.12. What can we infer about technology from Paragraph 1？______A. It can provide more changes in history.B. It becomes inconvenient and more than.C. It can be difficult for people to acquire.D. It plays an important role in daily life.13. Why isn't technology used widely in families？______A. It is not easy to connect the Internet in families.B. It is difficult to get access to technology in families.C. Parents worry that it has a bad effect on children.D. Children can't get much amusement from technology.14. How are the disadvantages avoidable？______A. Make the Internet offline.B. Interact with social network.C. Limit the time online.D. Improve computer system.15. What is the author's attitude to the use of technology at home？______A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Favorable.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Learning English doesn't always mean sitting in the classroom and studying boring grammar.In fact，there are a number of ways to improve your understanding of the language.（1）______ So if you' re keen to improve your English then consider some of these handy tips to get you on your way.Watch television and films in English.There are good TV shows and filmsin English，and you can learn English while watching them.（2）______ Read English books or newspapers.Reading is a great way of practising your English in your spare time.If you're a beginner，pick up a children's book whose language can be easier than an adult book.（3）______ Not only can you improve your English，but you'll learn about local and national goings-on.And it can be handy when you communicate with native speakers.（4）______ If you just spend your time outside of the classroom with people from your own country，you'll miss a big chance to practise English.If you try to make friends with other English speakers，you'll be forced into speaking the English language.If you have difficulty finding English speakers，at least try and spend time with people from other countries.In this way，you will still have to speak English.Make notes of new vocabulary.（5）______ Whenever you have free time，you can practise what you've learned.You can even do this on your phone so that you needn't take a notebook with you.A.Learn to speak English actively.B.Many of them can actually be fun.C.Newspapers are also worth reading.D.Surround you with English speakers.E.As you travel home or fall asleep，you can listen to it.F.Whenever you learn a new word，make sure you make a note of it.G.You can also listen to English radio stations and find plenty of listening materials on the Internet.16.

In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with culturalmeaning and the subject of various 45 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kids or a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma（污名）attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 46 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars—came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s 47 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 48 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 49 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 50 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 51 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be. Ⅲ．Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 52 his idea-a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine（豪车）to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 53 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 54 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 55 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 56 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for ourcareers-education, training, taking advantage of mentoring-all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 57 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 58 like luck.The reality of success （at least in terms of 59 ）is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn.2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 60 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 61 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 62 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16-25 use 63 to get their first job. While research has shown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter. poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 64 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 65 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur·but it is all about the individual’s 66 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.52．A．challenge B．adopt C．finance D．reject53．A．performances B．accomplishments C．assessments D．outcomes54．A．accounts for B．applies to C．makes up for D．depends on55．A．in reward B．after all C．in turn D．by nature56．A．chance B．accident C．education D．diligence57．A．emphasizes B．overlooks C．maintains D．weakens58．A．manageable B．vital C．slippery D．minor59．A．reputation B．income C．education D．occupation60．A．wealthier B．poorer C．unique D．diverse61．A．Nevertheless B．Contrarily C．Consequently D．Similarly62．A．profession B．circle C．community D．university63．A．certificates B．online platforms C．career fairs D．family connections64．A．contribute to B．result from C．add to D．hold back65．A．inspiring B．encouraging C．appealing D．discouraging66．A．reluctance B．eagerness C．readiness D．resolutionSection B Passages（A）When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the burnt garlic’s smell, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves（蒜瓣）in an electric oven, and after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and pac ks them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garl ic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic isthoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, lwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen（$2.8）. 67．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder” in the second paragraph?A mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand68．Who is NOT suitable to drink garlic coffee?A．A student having trouble with sleep B．A woman bearing a baby.C．A cleaner working on a day shift. D．A young lady sick of garlic.69．Which of the following is NOT characteristic of garlic coffee?A．It is caffeine-free. B．Garlic powder dissolves in waterC．The burnt garlic create s bitterness. D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish.70．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A．Venturous and greedy B．Innovative and perseverantC．Hardworking and cautious D．Observant and helpful（B）71．By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A．make sense to manufacturers B．get stuck in storesC are compared with each other D．are piled up together72．Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A．Dreampad pillow B．Eight sleep trackerC．Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D．Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System73．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B．The Nightinga, is an economical but perfect device.C．Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D．One in three people suffer from sleep problem.（C）One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches（雀）resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they’ll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers（莺）exploring the woods nearby don’t depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This “explore-exploit” trade-off（权衡）has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms （算法）, trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn’t much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo（原状）. When the going gets tough. however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the Univ ersity of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on “bottom longline” fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O’Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy （浮标）at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that the fishermen were fairly c onsistent. “The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what theyknow,” Dr. O’Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they’d sample new places.In the long run, there wasn’t a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O’Farrell. But in challenging times, the study’s message was clear: “You can try new things in the face of uncertainty.”74．The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that ______.A．like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB．some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC．there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD．birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather75．According to the third paragraph, people who mastered “explore-exploit” trade-off ______.A．will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB．are ready to risk in time of difficultyC．will be tough in good times and bad timesD．will grow to be experts in lab studies76．Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico?A．The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B．The “explore-exploit” trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C．The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D．The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.77．Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A．How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer B．How to Become a Productive FishermanC．What is “Explore-Exploit” Trade-off D．When to take risks mattersSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you—which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 78 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components — flavanol, especially.79 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoaflavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo（安慰剂）.Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. 80 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate—and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao （also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea）could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 81 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.Ⅳ．Fill in the BlanksHow sneaker culture took over the worldSneakers have come a long way from when they were first invented in 1860s England for the upper-class playing croquet（槌球）and tennis.Long worn for function 82 82 fashion, today sneakers have become an entire culture—both a form of self-expression and a high art found in museum exhibits and designer auction houses.83 transformed sneaker culture into a true phenomenon was the 1985 release of Nike’s Air Jordan 1s. In 1984, Michael Jordan was a talented rookie who had yet to play in a professional game. 84 that, Nike saw Jordan as the future of their brand, signing him to a five-year, $2.5 million endorsement（代言）deal. 85 Jordan matured into one of the greatest basketball players of all time, the sneaker’s popularity skyrocketed.Meanwhile, another cultural shift 86 （take）place with casual Fridays introduced in white-collar businesses. It was when men were allowed to put aside their suits and wear something one day a week that showed people who they really were.As sneakers became increasingly desired, footwear companies turned to 87 （generate）even more publicity by collaborating with celebrities and luxury brands, as well as releasing small batches of limited-edition shoes with eye-pop ping designs.Celebrities also started their collaborations with sneaker brands, which helped target a whole new demographic of people to experience sneaker culture. It was a blending of high and low fashion, 88 the shoe industry has never really seen before. A pair that Jordan wore in his legendary final NBA season 89 （sell ）even for $2.2 mllion, making them the most expensive sneakers ever to appear at auction.By the mid-2010s, speakers 90 （become）solid gold status symbols. Wearing rare and cool sneakers became an expression of one’s social status. But not until recently, sneakers are finally getting their due as part of our cultural heritage—and particularly how Black culture has shaped that heritage. It took decades for the sneaker industry to recognize that 91 these Black athletes or artists that championed their products there would be no sneaker culture.Ⅴ．Translations92．结果看来这项传统的确值得传承给我们的后代。

At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word "head" should be spelled “hed”, and the word“laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.16．What was Noah Webster when he was young?A．A writer.B．A teacher.C．A painter.D．A reporter.17．Why did Webster decide to write books?A．Because he wanted to earn more money.B．Because he wasn’t satisfied with the books he used.C．Because there were not enough books in the market.D．Because he had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.18．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．Webster spoke English in a different way.B．American people didn't like speaking English.C．Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks.D．American people didn't write English as exactly as English people did.19．What is Noah Webster famous for in American history?A．His teaching methods.B．His dictionary.C．His fighting for freedom.D．Learning foreign languages.20．What does the last sentence of this article mean?A．Most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s.B．Most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing.C．Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States.D．Most dictionaries in American English have the characteristic (特点) of Webster’s. 4.（12.5分）CLong, long ago people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.21. From the text we know that a spark can _______.A. fire any leavesB. burn anythingC. burn dry leavesD. keep fire burning22. Matches have been used ________.A. for about two thousand yearsB. for about two hundred yearsC. since people began to use fire for cookingD. since people used the heat from the sun23.

Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension（理解）is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently（流利地）. 26 .First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.27 . The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from , which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (使沮丧) by limited understanding. 28 .Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.29 . Don’t concentrate on (专注于) details until you have understood the main idea.30 . This approach (方法) usually results in confusion（困惑）. Translating leads toa kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.B. What should you do?C. Do not translate everything into your native language.D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.E. The next step is to find listening resources.F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.G.

In my view, a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others 31 .When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and 32 t hem was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. I couldn’t eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn’t even33 . It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me, and I 34 into this huge hole of depression.35 I was battling with depression, I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life. It was 36 to be happy, but I had to try. It was then that I decided to join Women’s Choir (合唱队). Mr. Wright was the choral director who was so funny that I knew I had made the best 37 of my life. As the year progressed, I began to smile again.Then one day that all changed. My friends or those that I thought were my friends—started talking about me behind my back. I was 38 , sitting by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could 39 him. Trying hard to fight back tears, I told him the whole story.“If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth 40 your joy.” What Mr. Wright said really struck a chord in my heart. He 41 cared about me and what was going on. I’m really grateful, because he not only saved me but has 42 my life ever since. Whenever I feel like giving up, I remember Mr. Wright’s words and 43 .

ATop Four Festivals in the WorldSaint Patrick's Day, IrelandSaint Patrick's Day is celebrated anywhere in the world where there are the Irish. If you're going to get involved(参与), there's no better place than Dublin. This festival runs for five days and five nights in March along with performing arts, literature, tours and food events.Holi Festival, IndiaIt's also called the “festival of love” as on the full-moon day in March people get together, forgetting all types of bad feeling towards each other. You'll mostly see Holi Festival across India and Nepal, but also in other areas with large Hindu populations. It starts by lighting a night-time bonfire(篝火)where people sing and dance. . People throw coloured water and powder(粉末)to their friends and families to show love and respect.Edinburgh Festival Fringe, ScotlandOne of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the festival runs for three weeks every August throughout the Scottish capital. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. The Fringe is run by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society to support and encourage the Scottish arts.Montreux Jazz Festival, SwitzerlandThere are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but Montreux Jazz Festival held in October near the Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It's not just jazz, though. You'll find broad-ranging concerts from pop to rock and blues, and best of all, most of the performances are free.1. When does Saint Patrick's Day take place?A. In March.B. In April.C. In August.D. In October.2. What can you do at Edinburgh Festival Fringe?A. Throw coloured water.B. Taste Irish food.C. Dance near a bonfire. D Watch art shows.3. Which event will you go to if you just want to attend concerts?A. Holi Festival.B. Montreux Jazz Festival.C. Saint Patrick's Day.D. Edinburgh Festival Fringe.BOn the football field, it doesn't always matter what team you're on. When a fellow player is in need, everyone answers the call.A Pennsylvania high school football team, parents, teachers and staff showed a great act of kindness for a member of the host team after a recent game. The game was really a fight to the finish, but these people came together to provide encouragement for a greater fight ahead.The two teams are Avon Grove High School and Coatesville High School. During a Friday night game, both teams came together at midfield to give Gavin Picard balloons and a gift. Gavin. who plays for Avon Grove. was recently diagnosed(诊断)with lymphoma(淋巴瘤): Moved by the kindness of both teams and the community, Rachel Wilson, Gavin's teammate, shared her thoughts about the support for Gavin online. “Coatesville players and caches came up to our team after the game to show their support. There were not very many dry eyes in the stadium."Rachel added that in sports it's about so much more than the game. This act of kindness proved that. She said the Coatesville team had experienced quite a struggling week, so they understood how things could affec t players on and off the field. “Class act all the way. Football is more than wi ns and losses, "she said. “It's a brotherhood, a strong connection like no other. ”Community support for Gavin continues as a family friend set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money for his treatment. There is a sea of love and support for the star football player in the comments. A latest message was shared online that Gavin completed his first round of treatment.4. What does the underlined word “fight” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A struggle against illness.B. A hot competition.C. A high hope for success.D. A narrow victory.5. Why did the two teams come together at midfield?A. To attract their fans' attention.B. To welcome their new teammate.C. To give Gavin Picard their support.D. To celebrate the end of their game.6. What does Rachel Wilson mean?A. Players should honour one another.B. Teenagers must develop a good habit.C. Competition is a must for a match.D. Football brings people together,7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. A Shared FutureB. An Act of KindnessC. A Rising StarD. An Unknown HeroCIt's easy to believe that robots are stealing jobs from human workers and badly affect the job market; after all, you’ve likely heard that they are tracking and moving packages wi thout the use of human hands.But there's no need to worry about a robot takeover just yet, says a new study from BYU sociology professor Eric Dahlin. Dahlin's research found that robots aren't replacing humans at the ate most people think, but people are likely to greatly exaggerate (夸大) the rate of robot takeover.To understand the relationship between job loss and robots, Dahlin surveyed nearly 2,000 people about their views on jobs being, replaced by robots. They were first asked to guess what is the percentage of employees whose employers(雇主) have replaced jobs with robots. They were then asked whether their employers have ever replaced their jobs with robots.The study found that only 14% of workers say they've seen their job replaced by a robot. But those who have experienced job displacement due to a robot overstate the effect of robots taking jobs from humans by about three times.“Our understanding of robots taking over jobs is greatly exaggerated, ”says Dahlin. Thosewho haven't lost jobs overstate it by about double, and those who have lost jobs overstate it by about three times. Eye-catching headlines saying a bad future of employment have likely overblown the situation of robots taking over jobs.The finding fits early studies, which suggest that robots aren't replacing workers. Rather, workplaces, where both employees and robots are working together, deliver more value in a way, “An everyday example is an autonomous machine at your local department store, "says Dahlin. “This robot cleans the floors while employees clean under shelves or other difficult-to-reach places. ”8. How did Eric Dahlin carry out his research?A. By asking people questions.B. By comparing early studies.C. By interviewing employers.D. By studying new businesses.9. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. Bad effects of technology.B. A fall in laid-off workers.C. Benefits of using robots.D. The finding of the study.10. What might deepen people's worry about robot takeover according to the text?A. Low pay.B. News reports.C. Physical health.D. Fewer workplaces.11. Which statement will Eric Dahlin probably agree with?A. Robots can work as human partners.B. Job markets will be affected seriously.C. All human workers will be replaced.D. Work experience matters too much.DSeismometer(地震仪)stations not only sense ground shaking due to earthquakes but alsc signals at the surface of our planet, such as storms and—as the researchers discovered—also floods. For this research, scientists turned an earthquake seismometer station near the town of Ahrweiler in Germany into a flood tracking tool. Using seismological information from the time of the event, they can tell people about the disaster in a timely way.As the town of Ahrweiler took the full force of a flood, scientists found the seismometer exactly showed the track of the flood for one hour. By. comparing mathematical models, the researchers were able to estimate(估算)the speed with which the flood moved. In fact, this was the only systematic source of measurable information about how the flood developed because the three present water level stations in the town were out of service early.As the research shows, this method can provide information that is valuable to track flood for warning and rescue activities. “If the data from that station is available(可用的)and as our research now shows, real time information on the magnitude and speed of the flood will be available as well, ”says Dr Michael Dietze at the University of Gottingen.“As 10% of Europe's surface area is likely to suffer from rapid flooding by rivers, we may want to start thinking about new ways of flood early warning. The present network of water level stations is not enough to be fully prepared for future events, ”Die tze adds.Dietze and his team are working on a plan to discover further areas at risk of flooding and provide them with low cost “watch tower” scismometer pairs—an effort to cut the losses caused by future floods. Dietze says, “The deadly July flood that h it the Ahrweiler in Germany in July 2021 gave a warning to the locals, the government, emergency services and scientists—how much we need to learn to improve the present flood warning systems. ”12. What can be known about Ahrweiler?A. It saw an earthquake.B. It's turned into a station.C. It's hard hit by a floodD. It praised these scientists.13. What do the researchers expect of the seismometer?A. It'll speed up water supply.B. It'll stop rapid flooding.C. It'll be a tool for a family.D. It'll provide early warning.14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People will cut the cost of public services.B. Efforts should be put into flood control.C. The government must save its spending.D. The locals have made a plan of action.15. Where is this text most likely from?A. A health report.B. A guidebook.C. A short story.D. A science magazine.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt is a cold, dark winter evening — the kind of night that can have runners struggling to find the encouragement to run out. But there will be none of the usual “shall-I-shan’t-I?” dialogue going on in Sarah Donaghy’s head, because tonight is Food Bank Run.Donaghy, a teacher and the welfare officer for Fareham running club, organised the first Food Bank Run in February 2018. “The idea was that, instead of our usual training run, we’d fill backpacks with food to donate to the local food bank and run there, where volunteers would be waiting to receive it,” she says. Donaghy was expecting about 20 members to take part: “I lost count by the time I got to 70.”Claire Johnson, the community team leader at the Waypoint Hub, which houses food bank, says, “It was an amazing and emotional experience to see so many runners arrive at our building, bringing much-needed supplies.” But it wasn’t just the food bank that benefited from it. “The runners loved it,” says Donaghy. “The following week after the first run, they were all asking when we could do it again.”A running equipment company, Runr, joined to help with publicity and event cooperation, creating a Food Bank Run website, complete with an interactive (交互式的) map of events. “Last year, more than 500 running groups, clubs, events and parkruns got involved, donating more than 77 tonnes of supplies to food banks in their communities,” says Craig Winter, one of the founders of Runr.The event spreads a significant factor — joining with others in physical activity that has a real purpose. It is not “I must do this long run because I’m training for a marathon” or “I must exercise because I’m trying to lose weight”, but something greater. “I truly believe that running for a cause changes your view,” Donaghy says. “Yes, you could do it by entering a marathon and raising money for a charity, but there’s something quite special about handing over food that’s going to someone in your community who really needs it.”21. What did runners do in the Food Bank Run?A. They performed their usual training.B. They prepared food for the volunteers.C. They delivered food to the local food bank.D. They collected donations during the run.22. How did Johnson feel about the first Food Bank Run?A. Appreciative.B. Puzzled.C. Worried.D. Curious.23. What can we learn about Runr?A. It becomes popular online.B. It helps organize activities.C. It designs the running route.D. It provides free running shoes.24. What is the best title of the text?A. Advertise for a ClubB. Run for a Good CauseC. The Power of RunningD. The Charm of Volunteering【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 24. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了Sarah Donaghy组织了一次名为“食品银行跑”的活动，跑步者们背着装满食物的背包跑步，然后将食物捐给当地的食品银行。

Breathtaking scenery.BWhen Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed more solutions to enjoy concerts. "What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations（震动）through theirfingers," Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the "Chief Vibration Officer" of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn't quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic （触觉的）suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a undershirt that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle, When you wear the suit, it's surprising how it feels.The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. "What we're doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body," said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was displayed on a screen on the stage.The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. "It's cool, because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what other people are hearing, so it's amazingto get the music in my body."4. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?A. The attitude they held to life.B. The way they enjoyed music.C. The love they had for balloons.D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.5. Why did the team's initial attempt fail?A. The vibrations lacked variety.B. The vibrations were irregular.C. The motors were the same.D. The motors hardly worked.6. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?A. Displaying music on the stage.B. Selecting proper suits for participants.C. Mixed methods helping people feel the music.D. Interpreters with excellent sign language skills.7. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?A. It's comforting.B. It's challenging.C. It's satisfying.D. It's disturbing.CA team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive （草书）on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type."We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard," says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. "Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding （编码）new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning." The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper."We've shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it's the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing," Audrey adds. "This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty differentiating between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as 'b' and 'd'. They haven't felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters."Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. "There's some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay," Audrey concludes.8. What was the special cap used to do?A. Measure the participants' brain activity.B. Evaluate the participants' writing styles.C. Tell the participants when to write or type.D. Record the time the participants used to write.9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study?A. Its backgrounds.B. Its equipment.C. Its outcomes.D. Its process.10. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity?A. Writing letters carefully by hand.B. Forming the habit of taking notes.C. Recognizing letters' mirror images.D. Learning to practice cursive writing.11. What does the underlined word "pragmatic" in the last paragraph mean?A. Difficult.B. Traditional.C. Special.D. Practical.DWhen I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, I saw the future. The simple building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside. It was specifically designed without any latest technology."What's so innovative about that?" a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures. Innovation to her meant digital technology, like 3D printers. "Why couldn't they both be innovative?" I asked.We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy, without which we would be left behind. But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective. This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing, you have innovated! Each year, businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots, trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment.At best, this is a waste of resources. Devices are bought, used and abandoned, as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise. But at its worst, this approach can truly cause damage. Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits. Companies that applied AI into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.True innovation isn't just some magic devices. It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment, which often means adopting "old" ideas and tools in a new context, or even returning to methods that worked in the past. Adjusted properly, these rearview（后视的）innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.Look no farther than the streets of New York, which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones. The idea isn't new. It was created half a century ago, with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents. And while e-reader sales have been exploding, Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books, an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and physicality.12. Which of the following best describes Samcheong Park Library?A. Dull but convenient.B. Simple but refreshing.C. Old-fashioned but cozy.D. Unexceptional but spacious.13. What can we learn about innovation from Paragraph 3?A. Its true meaning is to buy new things.B. It is important for the growth of economy.C. It shouldn't involve simple and effective ideas.D. Its true meaning has been misread by the public.14. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. Magic devices encourage innovation.B. Innovation should be human-centered.C. The power of technology is undervalued.D. Wasting resources are a must for innovation.15. What is the writing purpose of the text?A. To introduce some best ideas about innovation.B. To show that future lies in returning to the past.C. To convince people of the true meaning of innovation.D. To stress the important role innovation plays in economy.第二部分阅读七选五（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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2022-2023学年四川省南充高级中学高一下学期期中考试英语试题
2022-2023学年四川省南充高级中学高一下学期期中考试英语试题Four Great Restaurants in Bologna, ItalyIf you’re looking for a restaurant in Bologna, don’t miss out on our picks of the best places to eat in the city.Sfoglia RinaTradition and innovation are all on the menu at Sfoglia Rina, along-standing family restaurant near Bologna’s famous Two Towers. Rina was started as a fresh pasta (意大利面食) shop back in the 1960s, and the pasta is all still handmade. Ingredients are carefully and sustainably sourced, and pasta-making classes are periodically offered for kids and adults.Via Castiglione, 5/b, 40124 BolognaZerocinquantinoAperitivo is typically a pre-dinner snack and drink, but at Zerocinquantino, you may make it a meal as many people in Bologna do. Baskets of local bread are served with the region’s famous meat and cheeses, and a long list of wines is available in glasses and bottles. The service is fast, and the atmosphere is young and modem.Via Pescherie Vecchie, 3/E, 40124 BolognaTrattoria Da VitoIt’s a legendary gathering place for Bologna*s artists and educated people. The inside hasn’t been updated since Vito left the building long before; the menu hasn’t changed. Meals are traditional and extremel y cheap, with nothing priced over € 10.Via Mario Musolesi, 9a, 40138 BolognaDrogheria della RosaWith tables spreading out under Bologna’s medieval porticos (中世纪门廊), Drogheria della Rosa is a favorite for the best atmosphere in Bologna. Fortunately, that atmosphere is matched by excellent food and service, both provided by the chef and owner Emanuele Addone, who personally visits each table. The menu is a mix of traditional Bolognese food and dishes from around Italy, so you’re sure to find something you like as long as you have enough money.Via Cartoleria, 10b, 40124 Bologna1.

What can customers do at Drogheria della Rosa?A．Communicate with the chef.B．Take some dish-making classes.C．Talk about art with famous artists.D．Appreciate modem decorating styles.Spring lifts our spirits and makes us full of energy. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from a park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees(李子树). I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.I see the same trees and swans(天鹅) every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted(打断)by a high sound going on for some time.Therefore, I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mothe r was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me; the baby swan can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor?”After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and pull the little swan out of the gap finally. O h, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important—because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with si mple reality—at one with Nature.4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?A．Her favorite season is spring.B．She enjoys doing outdoor sports.C．Her backyard is filled with plum trees.D．She is satisfied with her living environment.5. Why was that day special for the author?A．She took a few photos of the sunset.B．She made a little swan’s mother angry.C．She met some swans and helped one of them.D．She met an old man and made friends with him.6. What kind of person is probably the old man?A．Well-known. B．Warm-hearted.C．Selfish. D．Outgoing.7. What makes us more physically active according to the author?A．Nature. B．Kindness.C．The garden. D．The things around.Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left bebind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have dange according to some seientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.8. The new products become more and more time-saving beeause_________.A．our love on speed seems never-endingB．time is limitedC．the prices are increasingly highD．the manufacturers boast a lot9. What does“the days”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Imaginary life. B．Simple life in the past.C．Times of inventions. D．Time for constant activity.10. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?A．Critical. B．Objective. C．Optimistic. D．Negative.11. What does the passage mainly discuss?A．The present and past times. B．Machinary and human beings.C．Imaginations and inventions. D．Modern technology and its influence. Processed foods—cheap, convenient, and beloved by many Americans—have once again been proven harmful to our health. Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with an increased risk of heart disease and death, according to a study carried out this week in the Journal American College of Cardiology.Past research has also linked these preservative-laden (含防腐剂的) foods to weight gain, cancer, and early death. Many studies, including the recent cardiology paper, have proven the health risks are higher for people who eat a greater quantity of processed foods.Each daily serving of ultra-processed food—such as a single protein bar or a 12 oz can of soda—was associated with a 7% increase in the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease and a 9% increase in the risk of dying due to heart disease, based on data from more than 3,000 adults followed for nearly 20 years.Still, processed foods are “ubiquitous” in our diets, lead author Filipa Juul said in a press release. Although we kn ow they’re bad for our health, ultra-processed foods account for more than half of the daily calories in the average American diet. Even seemingly healthy options like protein bars, breakfast cereals, and most industrially produced breads are filled with preservatives and added sugar, salt, and fat.“As a poor diet is a major risk factor for heart disease, it represents a critical target in prevention efforts,” Juul, a researcher at the New York University School of Public Health, said in the press release. The authors recommended taxing (征税) processed foods with added sugar as a possible incentive (刺激) to reduce consumption.More importantly, they acknowledged the need to make more nutritious choices available and affordable, especially for populations that have historically lacked that access. “Ultimately, the goal should be to make the unhealthy choice the hard choice and the healthy choice the easy choice,” Robert J. Ostfeld, MD, MSc, and Kathleen E. Allen, MS, RD, wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.12. How does the author illustrate the effect of ultra-processed food in paragraph 3?A．By giving examples. B．By listing figures.C．By analyzing causes. D．By making predictions.13. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Unavoidable. B．Priceless. C．Complicated. D．Luxurious.14. What does the last paragraph focus on?A．Methods of reducing consumption.B．Different factors for heart disease.C．The accessibility of healthy food.D．The necessity of resisting processed foods.15. What is the best title of the text?A．Taxing Processed Foods Remains an Urgent TaskB．Mysteries of Heart Diseases Have Been UncoveredC．Choosing Your Diet Carefully Makes a Great DifferenceD．Eating Ultra-Processed Foods Increases Heart Disease RiskFor many of us, nothing is better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it's a crime story or a biography of someone's amazing life, it's good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life.16 It can be educational and broaden the mind. A good novel can make us happy, or make us cry as we sympathize with characters. A list of books about "bibliotherapy” can be offered to patients. 17 It's become so successful that it's about to be extended to children as well.Professor Philip Davis, author of a book called Reading for Life, studies people in reading groups and found that it's reading literature --- written work thought to have artistic value, that has the best effect. He told the BBC that when reading something for pleasure, "...the brain begins to work from different parts, and it gets excited, it gets pre — emotional. 18 ”Of course, it's easy in our smartphone generation to abandon a good book and play with our phones instead. But opening up a paperback could be a simple way to help maintain our mental health. 19 And they may allow you to see that awkward situation you've been anxious about for weeks from someone else's point of view.20 If the book list doesn't appeal, you could read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend. Once you've found the right text, you'll be fascinated!If not for the kindness of a stranger, Jamaican hurdler (跨栏运动员) Hans le Parchment may not be a Tokyo Olympic gold medalist today.The 31-year-old athlete took the _________ bus on the day of his semifinal race. _________ in enjoying music, he didn’t realize it.“By the time I _________, I realized, ‘No, this bus is not going the right way.’ I’m not familiar with these _________,” he said.With time running out quickly, it was impossible for him to _________ another bus to the right place.
