These tales fuel our imaginations, and satisfy our longings for adventures. The most interesting thing about fantasies is that their plots involve magical beasts and heroes，animal creatures talking like humans，and other things we can’t see in real life. Also, fantasies have a distinguished writing style, with freedom of expression.Toy FantasyIn toy fantasy stories, narrators(叙述者)bring their beloved toys lo life that can live, talk, think，breathe and behave like human beings. You would see modem toy fantasies in a picture book format. Representative works are A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio.Animal FantasyThe animal fantasy tells tales about animals behaving like human beings, experiencing emotions, and having the ability to talk. However, animals in fantasies hold their various animal characteristics, too. Examples include The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter which influences children around the world.Magical FantasyIn a magical fantasy, you see a character having magical powers, or a strange magical object becomes the subject of the story. Stories of this type began widely spreading long ago, including Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Willi am Steig’s Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.Modern FolktalesModern folktales are types of fantasy that narrators tell in a traditional tale accompanyingsome typical parts, such as strong conflict, little description of characters, and sometimes magical elements. These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors throughout history, have written them. Hans Christian Andersen has written several tales of this category including The Nightingale, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina.1. What is the common feature of the fantasies?A. Their characters are highly popular.B. Their events occur in the unreal world.C. Their writing styles show desires for freedom.D. Their plots encourage people to have adventures.2. Who made a great contribution to the animal fantasy?A. Carlo Collodi.B. Beatrix Potter.C. William Steig.D. Hans Christian Andersen.3. Which type of fantasy has the longest history?A. The toy fantasy.B. The animal fantasy.C. The magical fantasy.D. The modem folktales.2、One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly."It’s such a simple habit to do,but the fact is that people aren’t doing it, and it’s resulting in actual deaths — which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method," said Issar.As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don’t spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children’s hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough timeto wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they've drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands alter handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created every where will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.1. Why does SoaPen come into existence?A.To cure kids of some kinds of diseases.B.To teach kids the importance of soap.C.To help kids wash their hands correctly.D.To make money from children consumers.2. Which of the following does Issar agree with?A.Handwashing is anything but little.B.SoaPen is designed for classrooms.C.Some teachers ignore kids' health in school.D.Kids don’t know the right way of handwashing.3. What does "obliterate" underlined in paragraph 5 mean?A.Show.B.Reserve.C.Learn.D.Remove.4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.SoaPen has become popular worldwide.B.The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future.C.SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.D.Kids' health should be paid more attention to.3、A new study could hold the key to learning languages, teaching children colors or even studying complex theories.The research, published in Cognitive Science, adds to the existing evidence that adults, children and students of all ages learn better when seeing an object before hearing its description. The study builds on past research by focusing on learning in “ inconsistent” environmentsfeaturing different teaching styles or distracting(使分心的)noises.For the study, researchers purposely provided confusing information to copy these types of inconsistencies to subjects that were tasked to learn the names of three fictional characters—“yosh,” “wug” and “niz”一using two types of learning methods.The first method, “object-label learning”, is when a student sees an object first and then is provided with the label (标签). This means seeing a color before being told its name. Or hearing a description of a physical force before hearing its formal title. The second learning procedure is “label-object learning”, the reverse order in which a student sees a label first.Subjects in the study were asked to match the pictures of the characters with their made-up names. The results of the study indicate that students who see objects first and then hear the names process inconsistent information better than learners who hear the names first and then see the objects.Researchers found that learners tliat interact with the object before hearing the name perform “frequency increasing”——the ability to process noisy, inconsistent information to identify and use the most frequent rule. For example, when teachers interchangeably use “soda" or “pop” to describe the name of a carbonated drink(碳酸饮料), the children who use frequency increasing will learn to use the term that is used most frequently. A key feature of frequency increasing is that learners will also use the rule more consistently than the instructor.The research team also used mathematical modeling to confirm the observations as well as provide a theoretical explanation as to why one type of learner is different from the other. “The research combines experiments with a novel mathematical modeling show that learners deal better with inconsistencies.1. Which of the following means learning in inconsistent environments?A. Being exposed in complete quietness.B. Seeing a color before being told its name.C.Being provided with confusing information.D. Matching the pictures with their formal names.2. What does the "frequency increasing" focus on?A. Correctness.B. Variability.C. Repeatability.D. Standardization.3. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By explaining reasons.B. By stating arguments.C.By making comparison.D. By providing research results.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Order Counts while Studying SubjectsB. Teaching Kids Calls for Different StylesC. Language Learning Improves with Math CombinedD. Learning Programs Benefits from Showing Pictures4、Famous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals, Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitor, to head elsewhere.Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, "We don’t want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city. "Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their "Perspective 2030" report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on "destination management" rather than "destination promoting". The document also describes the country’s future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdam's livability will be severely influenced by "visitor overload" if action isn’t taken.Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous "I am sterdam" sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city’s main art gallery. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various lesser-known neighborhoods in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, van Loon fears that Amsterdam has already lost its uniqueness forever. "The reason tourists come here is that there’s something in the character of Amsterdam they love," she explains. "But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place."1. What does van Loon mean by saying "We don’t want to turn into a Venice"？A. Venice is suffering from over tourism.B. Amsterdam doesn’t necessarily copy Venice.C. Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam.D. Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.2. Why did Amsterdam advise visitors to head elsewhere?A. To reduce its pressure of mass visitors.B. To turn the focus on destination promoting.C. To promote the development of other areas.D. To avoid much spending on city management.3. What does the underlined word "entice" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Force.B. Persuade.C. Inform.D. Allow.4. What’s van Loon’s attitude to the measures?A. Optimistic.B. Objective.C. Skeptical.D. Ambiguous.5、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。
2020届山东省高考英语模拟试题一和答案详细解析及备考策略
2020届山东省高考英语模拟试题一第一部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项．1．（7.5分）Humans have a special love for nature and have always been trying to discover nature．In this try，they have discovered many wonderful places across the world．SantoriniIt is one of the most amazing places of the world in Greece． It is said to be completely destroyed in the 16th century and since then it is rebuilding and it's beauties are increasing with every passing day． The most ideal period of the year to go to this miracle is from pril to September． There are a lot of island in this city and sunbathing around any of these would be an unforgettable experience． There is a natural pool which attracts the tourists from the world．RomeThe ancient city of Rome in Italy is also called the center of western civilization． This city was discovered in 753 BC． The coliseum in Rome is the world's most iconic （标志性的） monument． There is no one who wishes to return from Rome without seeing this monument． Moreover， the Pantheon and Pizza Navona are also places worth visiting in Rome．BarcelonaThe city of Barcelona is a good mixture of modern as well as ancient Roman civilization． It is also famous due to the Olympic Games that take place in it． It is much like a big village with enjoyable streets for walking．IstanbulThe Turkish city of Istanbul is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit in lifetime． This city joins Asian and European civilizations． It is also an old city with the old name of Constantinople． It is the cultural， economical，historical center of Turkey．（1）Which city connects two continents？A． SantoriniB． RomeC． BarcelonaD． Istanbul（2）What many tourists prefer to do in Barcelona？A． Go out for sunbathing．B． Wander along the streets．C． Visit the famous monument．D． Appreciate historical attraction．（3）What do the four places have in Common？A． They are cities with an ancient history．B． They are surrounded with many islands？C． They are the origins of human civilization．D． They are located in the center of their countries．2．（10分）Rock band kiss has played for millions of people around the world over more than four decades． But today， Kiss perform for a new type of audience in water off the coast of Australia： great white sharks．The concert， presented by Airbnb， is part of a 12 hour tour to an offshore location near Port Lincoln， Australia， which is known as a feeding ground for great white sharks． Rather than using the traditional "chum"﹣﹣﹣ fish parts and blood in the water to attract the sharks﹣﹣﹣organizers hope the music will draw them in．This admittedly "over﹣the﹣top experience" was created "to educate people and show them that sharks are worthy respects， and protection，" according to Airbnb． Throughout the day， concert goers will observe sharks and other marine life in their natural habitat．The on﹣going， driving boat of rock music﹣ especially the dense， base thrumming beats of hard rock and heavy metal﹣ can attract wild sharks in theopen ocean， as Matt﹣ Waller， shark tour operator and owner of adventure Bay Charters in Australia， discovered in 2011．Waller had heard from a shark tour colleague who experimented with underwater speakers that the sharks behaved differently in the presence of music﹣particularly rock music． Over time， Waller tried many types of music，with varying degrees of success in attracting sharks．In 2015，when the Discovery Channel filmed Waller playing heavy metal underwater，the music attracted the attention of two great white sharks： one was 12 feet long， and one was 14 feet long．Now， Waller is partnering with Airbnb lo broadcast Kiss' music to great whites． While the Kiss show is certainly an unusual approach for bringing people and sharks together， perhaps the common ground of rock and roll will encourage a greater awareness of sharks as creatures that are vital to ocean ecosystems and deserving of respect rather than fear． Waller told Live Science．（1）Why does kiss hold the concert？A． To confirm a former experimentB． To change human attitudes to music．C． To introduce the sharks to the public．D． To encourage positive awareness of sharks．（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to？A． The performers．B． The concertgoers．C． The sharks．D． The tourists．（3）Which of the following may Matt Waller agree？A． Shark tours should be prohibited．B． Rock music can attract wild sharks．C． Humans should keep away from sharks．D． The Kiss approach is not worth following．（4）What can be the best title of the text？A． Great White Sharks Get a Concert from Kiss．B． Rock Band Kiss Holds a Concert in Australia．C． Great White Sharks Care about Music．D． Airbnb Comes into Rock﹣roll Market．3．（10分）Today is Friday the 13th of the year． Even though the date is known throughout Western culture as one associated with negative things， it's really just another Friday on the calendar．There is no scientific evidence to suggest this day has an increased chance of bad occurrences compared with other days． But that doesn't mean scientists haven't tried to find any． In Thomas W． Lawsons 1907 novel． Friday， the Thirteenth a businessman takes advantage of the superstition （迷信） and creates a Wall Street panic on the day． The book was the likely inspiration for a number of scientific examinations of stock market returns on Fridays that fell on the 13th day of the month compared with all other Fridays． In 2001， business professor at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland， published his analysis of a few of those studies and found several flaws． The studies had narrow assessments overall，focusing on just a few markets or a single stock exchange． But when he analyzed the data as a whole， Lucey found that internationally， with few exceptions returns on Friday the 13th were typically just a little higher than returns on other Fridays．The scientific evidence for cause and effect may not be there but people may still alter their behavior on Friday the 13th in a way that causes certain things to happen． The way people drive might be different from their usual． But the few studies that have examined traffic accidents haven't found statistically significant trends to suggest Friday the 13th is more dangerous than other Fridays on the road．The science is clear：Friday the 13th is a normal day．Yet，people continue to think this is meant to be a bad day．"Psychologically，superstitions arise from the desire to influence external events， decreaseanxiety and reduce uncertainty，" said Neil Dagnall， a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University． Besides， I don't think people know often why they do things．"（1）Why is Friday the 13th usually associated with negativity？A． The date increases possibility of risk．B． Scientists have found enough evidence．C． Culture has taught its people to believe so．D． Things always go bad or worse on the day．（2）What did Brian's Lucey's studies focus on？A． Novels relating to Friday the 13th．B． Written records of Wall Street panic．C． Analysis of successful business cases．D． Stock market returns on Friday the 13th．（3）In Paragraph 3， the few studies are mentioned to show that ．A． human fear of Friday the 13th is no1 necessary．B． traffic accidents can be avoided on other Fridays．C． people tend to behave strangely on Friday the 13th．D． staying at home is recommended on Friday the 13th．（4）What does Neil Dagnall think of superstitions？A． They can lead the endless human desires．B． They can help people to reduce anxiety．C． They cause great harm to physical healthD． They produce a sense of controlling everything．4．（10分）Many hobbies are suitable for transforming into a side business， or even a fully developed one． Even though it can take some time to establish yourself in most of these markets， it's usually well worth the effort in the long run． However， there are various considerations you'll need to make along the way．First things first﹣﹣﹣just because you're good at something it doesn'tmean it's a good idea to start a business around it． Some hobbies are just that hobbies， and they don't have a serious potential for anything more than that． You may be the best at making mini house from matches， but how many of those have been sold over the last couple of months？ Do enough research beforehand to verify that there are actually enough people out there who would have an interest in buying your product or service in the first place．Once the business is up and running，you'll need to spend the word yourself． Don't expect people to come rushing through your doors． Promotion is something that you'll ideally start thinking about before you've even set up the company． It's a highly individual process and depend on the kind of product you're selling， your local area， as well as the resources you have available for your business． But no matter how much you can afford on promotion，it's something that must always be the most important until you've established yourself properly．Once you're there， things will start flowing more smoothly． But you'll still have to keep your marketing game active because it's easy to get overtaken by your competitors if you're not careful． Make sure that you are always pushing hard on that front and consider experimenting with some more recent solutions as well．（1）What does the author advise in Paragraph 1？A． Setting up a side business as a try．B． Coming up with some creative ideas．C． Doing research on a potential market．D． Taking a serious hobby into consideration．（2）What does the underlined word "verily" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A． Illustrate．B． Check．C． Announce．D． Indicate．（3）What can be learned from Paragraph 3？A． Not everyone can afford business promotion．B． Advertisement is not necessary in your local area．C． Resources play an important role on product sale．D． Promotion is a key factor to business development．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？A． Taking up your own hobbies．B． Setting up a successful business．C． Turning your hobby into a business．D． Establishing yourself in the market．第二节（共1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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）My dad passed away yesterday and I am processing everything． It's hard to try and find positivity in my pain， but my Dad taught me so much when he was healthy， and when he wasn't I wanted to share some of the lessons． Be on the phone less． This one seems strange but in his final moments I was all in，no checking my phone because it really didn't matter （1）This was a moment I needed to remember and I would have regretted it if I was distracted in this part of his journey．（2）Sometimes we need people to lean on． My mom and dad needed a lot of help． I needed a lot of help． We were surrounded by people willing to help us and instead of shutting them out like we've done in the past， we let them in and it was exactly what we needed．Not everyone will understand your experience．（3）Just knowing people are here for us means a lot， but I also know that no one will fully understand my experience and that's okay as we are all different．Family is not necessarily the people who brought you into this world． I am adopted and I know we chose each other．（4） I loved my father very much．There's nothing more important than being with the ones you love． I wasable to hold my Dad when he took his last breath． My Mom and I made sure that my Dad knew he was loved through his journey．（5） Everything else is secondary．A． all that mattered was him．B． Love is what truly matters．C． Surround yourself with a support system．D． And he loved me more than anyone on this Earth．E． It's okay not to understand the reason for everything．F． Really， we can handle more than we ever thought possible．G． This was a long and hard journey for my mom and me and all of those who care about us．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（15分）When Erik Kiel launched Peer2Peer Tutor， at age 16， his idea was （1）： students can help other students

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today, there are times when I remember his face clearly, especially his eyes. As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty. He would have been a stray （流浪） dog, until he came to me.I was seven years old. My dad had just got a new job in Nasik. We had moved into a rented house. It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.It was a cold dark night. We had our meal and went to sleep. Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door. I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door. It was wet and trembling. At first it was difficult to see the lite one. It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat. Was it sick or injured?I felt pity for the poor soul. 1 went in and came out with an old towel. I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry. I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow. He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.The next morning, everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest“Shallwe keep him with us?" I questioned my mom.Like any other parents would, my parents first tally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.Para. 1：One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.Para. 2: Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.【答案】Days passed on and one evening when Spotty returned from his long walk, he appeared very exhausted. He came to my room and sat near me. It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding. I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense. I really admired him a lot for his courage.Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. I patted him on his back and came inside. The next day morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. And this time he had gone and would never come back. I cried and waited for him. We waited for one long week. But there were no signs of him. Then one day my Dad got transferred to Mumbai. We shifted back to Mumbai. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died?

Are you getting a new one?(9:07-9:12) M: No, I’m not getting another car. I’ve decided to live without one. (9:12-9:14) W: Wow! What made you do that?(9:14-9:19) M: I think there are too many cars and this town is already far too polluted.(9:20-9:22) W: Well, that’s true, but a car is useful.(9:23-9:30) M: I don’t think so, not in the city center.

Say, are you planning your summer travels?(11:47-12:02) W: Well, not yet. I was just reading a story about this woman, Ellen Wilson, who climbed up Mount Qomolangma.(12:03-12:14) M: Yeah. I read that too. A rather extraordinary experience, isn’t it?96 days! She is actually a graduate of our college, class of 2012.(12:14-12:19) W: Oh! Really? So, Jonathan, what amazing thing have you done? (12:20-12:22) M: Well, I just went cycling across South America.(12:23-12:24) W: You didn’t!(12:24-12:39) M: I did! Just last year, before I entered the graduate school, it was such a brilliant time. Four months on the road enjoyed the wonderful scenery in the country, in towns and in cities all along the way. I got a bit tired, though. (12:39-12:48) W: Sounds great! Um, Maybe I should think seriously about my big life adventure, like taking a long walk across a national park.(12:49-12:52) M: Wow! Let me know if you need someone to go with you.材料9(14:53-14:56) W: Hi, Matt! May I ask you a few questions?(14:56-14:59) M: Certainly, Julian. What do you want to know?(15:00-15:07) W: I’m doing a study on the spending habits of students in our school. I’m writing a paper for my social study’s course.(15:07-15:09) M: That sounds interesting.(15:07-15:12) W: To begin with, how much money do you get from your parents a month?(15:13-15:15) M: I get about 500 dollars.(15:16-15:17) W: How do you spend your money?(15:17-15:22) M: I spend about 300 dollars on food. You know how I like to eat!(15:22-15:24) W: Yes! What about the rest of the money?(15:25-15:39) M: Well, I spend on shows about 30 dollars a month. Games, um, for rental of tennis court and balls about 50 dollars. I do spend some on things like reading materials, and the rest I save.(15:40-15:41) W: What about clothes?(15:41-15:43) M: My mother buys them for me.(15:44-15:45) W: Thanks a lot! Matt!(15:45-15:46) M: You are welcome.材料10(17:35-17:43) Hello, everyone! I’m very glad to be here to talk to you. People need to feel secure and comfortable, so they can be creative. (17:44-17:50) Well- designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers. (17:50-17:58) So today I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity. I hope you can find it useful.(17:58-18:09) First, the color of the office walls. Decorate your office with green. Other bright colors such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity. (18:10-18:17) Calmer colors help us concentrate. Green also reminds us of nature, which may help us to relax. (18:18-18:26) Avoid red when you are choosing a color. While it can give us a feeling of energy, it also affects our ability to analyze information.(18:27-18:38) Then let’s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important. Too dark and workers can feel sleepy. While if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. (18:39-18:45) The best kind of lighting is natural light. It makes us happier and more productive. (18:46-18:53) When it comes to artificial lighting, warm colors are the best. But if we need to concentrate, a bluer light is better.(18:54-19:07) Space is another important matter. A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in the office. So staff can find privacy of needed but also working open areas for creative thinking.。

AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to "learn from the masters" or get more creative with paint-free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species ；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called “Hissing Sid" is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805 , he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness".However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.1. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for .A. attending the masters! classB. learning life drawingC. working with local artistsD. seeing an exhibition2. "Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are .A. common insectsB. rarely-seen snakesC. impressive plantsD. wildlife-enthusiasts3. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed .A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 1805BTraders desperate to avoid owning oil fled the markets on April 27,2020, sending crude （JM 油）futures into negative territory for the first time ever, in recognition that the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened demand for fuel and there is not enough storage for the massive glut（供过于求）of oil present on US soil.Investors sold the May futures contract due to expire（期满）on Tuesday in a series of waves. At one point, the contract hit negative $ 40. When the trading stopped, crude oil had finished the day at a negative $ 37. 63 a barrel, a decline of some 305 percent, or $ 55. 90 a barrel.That unwanted oil is instead going into storage, but in the United States, storage is filling up much more quickly than expected. Cushing, Oklahoma , the tiny town of less than 10,000 people that serves as the main US storage centre, was 70 percent full as of last week, and traders say it will be full within two weeks.The price decline is good news for drivers pulling up to the pump for a fill-up, butbad news for hydraulic frackers who need higher crude oil prices of about $ 30 to $ 40 a barrel to operate profitably.US stocks dropped on Monday as investors surveyed the economic damage and considered gloomy prospects for a sustained rebound as oil prices hit the bottom of the barrel.On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2.44 percent, and closed at 23,650.44. The S&P 500 slipped 1. 79 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1. 03 percent.4. Traders fled the oil markets because of .A. the COVID-19 pandemicB. no demand for fuelC. sufficient storage for the glut of oilD. no investment5. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 5?A. Hopeful.B. Great.C. Poor.D. Little.6. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The effects of the negative US oil price.B. The facts of US stocks.C. The reaction to the negative US oil price.D. The situation of the negative US oil price.7. From which part of the newspaper is the passage probably taken?A. Science and technology.B. Economy.C. Health.D. Culture.CThe first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B. C. This system developed because the pharaohs（法老）frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Message carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up this idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.In China. however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.In 1653 , a Frenchman, Renouard du Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient, but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer’s system came to an end when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British school teacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other. His idea helped the British postal system begin to earnprofits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately"(（stamp collecting)）.8. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How international letters travel.B. A surprising method for delivering mail.C. The history of postal systems.D. Changes in the methods of communication.9. Which of the following statements about Renouard de Velayer is true?A. His was a government-controlled system.B. His competitors destroyed his business.C. His system lasted for hundreds of years.D. In his system, the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.10. Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?A. Egyptian.B. Chinese.C. de Velayer's.D. von Taxis’s.11. What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?A. He made letter writing accessible to the average person.B. He made a lot of money for the British postal system.C. He made stamp collecting a popular hobby.D. He won an award for letter writing.DThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report stating that the world is quickly running out of time to keep global warming below 1. 5 degrees Celsius. To get there, the world would have to cut current emissions by 45 percent by 2030. That sounds absurdly unlikely.But before we give in to despair, we should remember that the technology to address climate change is going along at a high speed. The largest source of U. S. carbon emissions is transportation, and a Green New Deal for motor vehicles would be quite straightforward.The reason is simple: with some subsidies （补贴），electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have made the greatest speed into the market, because they are a logical choice for electrification. By the end of 2018, electric vehicles were displacing about 280.000 barrels of oil demand per day——about 84 percent of which was due to buses.But the electric car market is also reaching maturity （成熟），with appealing designs, longer range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging network in many countries. It’s worth emphasizing that most of the infrastructure（基础设施）necessary to recharge electric vehicles already exists. People often tend to assume that we would need to replace every gas station, but virtually all homes and businesses already have an electrical connection which can be easily improved for fast charging. All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.Now America would have to repair its electricity production, freight rail, shipping, and so on to fully decarbonizes（脱碳）the transportation sector, which taken together will be considerably more difficult than simply extirpating fossil fuel vehicles from the market.But greening America’s vehicle would be straightforward, relatively cheap, and a hugestride forward on climate. The politics of climate change are so fearful that despair can seem logical, but the first step to achieving a tough goal is the confident belief that it can be done. And this particular step wouldn't even be that tough.12. How's the goal of keeping global warming below 1. 5 degrees Celsius according to Paragraph 1?A. Reasonable.B. Safe.C. Realistic.D. Impossible.13. How can electric vehicles compete with fossil-fuel ones?A. By getting financial support from government.B. By running at the greatest speed.C. By changing the way of transportation.D. By making consumers make logical choices.14. What should we do to promote electric cars now?A. Replace as many as gas stations.B. Solve the problem of long trips.C. Build more infrastructures for recharging.D. Make businesses have electrical connections.15. Which of the following best explains "extirpating" underlined in Paragraph 5?A. Repairing.B. Producing.C. Moving.D. Forbidding.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岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the concept itself isn’t new at all —in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Ar rhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases.C. Findings about global warming.D. Explorations on climate change.CIt’s com mon knowledge that the woman in Leona rdo da Vinci’s most famouspainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matterwhere they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewha t ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just tho ught it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A. B.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing fo r an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrowfocused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers’ spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy’s restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people’s views on pop stars.B. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.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。

It has ail extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality 6f life among the worlds nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, the job they wan! — unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January,2019 — enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per-capita(人均的) basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first don't expect to be met byDubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.1.Where is the Skagerrak strait?A.Near the Barents Sea.B.On the east of Finland.C.Near the north of Norway.D.On the north of Denmark.2.What leads to Norway’s succe ss?A.Its huge reserve of oil.B.Its low unemployment rate.C.Its quality education.D.Its pleasant natural environment.3.What can be inferred about Norway from paragraph 3?A.Norwegians are seeking modern life.B.It is modest about its wealth.C.It puts much focus on the traffic.D.Norwegians try to keep away from high technology.4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph convey?A.Norway’s future should be considered.B.Norway wouldn’t like to make changes.C.Norway has accumulated enough pensions.D.Norway's retired population is decreasing.CThere are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake to in the morning. For me, it's the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.If you're a big fan of coffee, you'll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell-fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you'll be able to identify the beans' origin-Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. "When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological responses."I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it's the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past yourtongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and the vast majority of them still don't get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!1.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.B.Coffee beans' origin makes all the difference.C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.D.It's the smell of coffee that really matters.2.What does the author complain about?A.The process of making coffee.B.The high temperature of coffee.C.The design of the paper coffee cup.D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.3.Which can replace the word "eliminating" underlined in Paragraph 4?A.Creating.B.Removing.C.Increasing.D.Changing.4.What can be the best title of the text?A.Wake up and smell the coffeeB.Try to be a real lover of coffeeC.Drink coffee to save the planetD.Choose takeaway coffee for convenienceDOn average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband arid two children. She calls it a "regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both shortterm and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three clays in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.1.What is David Strayer's opinion?A.Americans dislike outdoor activities.B.Electronic equipment should be quitted.C.New technologies are a double-edged sword.D.Electronic equipment brings great convenience.2.Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A.To try another lifestyle.B.To refresh our brain.C.To make better decisions.D.To play with our family and friends.3.What does the underlined word "regenerative" mean?A.Reborn.B.Memorable.C.Remarkable.D.Tiring.4.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Electronic Equipment Harms theB. Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC.Tips on Using New TechnologiesD.Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain二、七选五阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

college preparatory school in the United States, knew last year that he wanted his independent study on the environment to have a broad impact on the community.In order to"reduce the carbon footprint,"Stewart planned to produce enough solar energy to power the school's science labs.Now his plan is set to happen.The installation of30solar panels is scheduled for late January.As he began his research on solar energy,he discovered a useful phone app.By entering an address, he could find out how much sunlight the location receives each day.Based on how much sunlight it receives,Stewart found that his school building was the desired position.At the suggestion of his science teacher,Debbie Wheeler,Parker first performed an energy audit(测算)of the science lab to see how much energy a typical lab uses per day.Then,he started his research,contacting a local installer of solar panels,Synergy Home,to do the job.Parker lacked money for launching the project,so he convinced Sayre's head of school to fund him after explaining the benefits of solar power for the school and community.Since Sayre provided the initial seed money to provide supplies and the purchase of one panel,the project has grown to include a total of30panels.They are expected to generate enough energy to run all four of the science labs on campus."It feels like a dream to think that an idea I had resulted from my AP Environmental class would have this kind of impact,"said Stewart,expressing gratitude for Wheeler's help.Wheeler said the success of the project was due to Parker's efforts and willingness to follow through on the project from start to finish.“I've had other students talk about environmental initiatives on campus,but Parker had the persistence to make it happen,"she said.4.How did the app help Stewart start his project?A.To find an ideal location.B.To conduct an energy audit.C.To look up specific information.D.To introduce financial aids.5.Who invested in Stewart's project at the beginning?A.Sayre School.B.His parents.C.Synergy Home.D.His community.6.What inspired Stewart to do his solar power project?A.The phone app he discovered.B.The air pollution in his community.C.A suggestion from his science teacher.D.An idea from his Environmental class.7.What contributed to Stewart's success according to Wheeler?A.His wisdom.B.His bravery.C.His willpower.D.His independence.CRescue workers and thousands of volunteers are not the only ones who have won hearts and minds for their heroic efforts in the search for survivors after Tuesday's powerful earthquake in Mexico.Fifteen dogs from the navy's canine(军犬)unit have assisted this week in the rescue efforts at the sites of collapsed buildings across Mexico City,where more than50people have been pulled alive from the ruins.Of the canine heroes none is more famous or loved than Frida,a six-year-old white Labrador who in her distinguished service has won praise for her ability to detect people who have been trapped by various natural disasters.Over her admirable career she has found52people including12 survivors in Mexico and other Latin American countries.This week,Frida and Evil and Echo—two Belgian Shepherds that have also been specially trained for rescue efforts一were sent to the site of the collapsed Enrique Rebsamen School in southern Mexico City.Equipped with goggles that protect her eyes from dust and smoke,boots to prevent damage to her paws while she climbs over rough ruins,Frida took to her work looking every bit the part of the ruins.If Frida detects the presence of a survivor,she is trained to bark to alert rescue workers but if she detects a corpse she stops suddenly before proceeding,her handler explained.Eleven children were rescued from ruins at the school but this time human rescue workers rather than the dogs were the ones who located them.However,that hasn't stopped Frida from becoming a social media star and reaching a new level of fame this week.Videos and other social media posts that highlight the work of Frida and her impressive record of detecting people trapped by natural disasters spread quickly online.While she has yet to detect anyone trapped in the ruins this week,she and other rescue dogs are continuing to work tirelessly,searching through spaces that humans cannot reach.With the possibility that there are still people trapped alive,time will tell whether she adds to her rescue record.8.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Severe earthquakes in MexicoB.Undertaking rescue work.C.People waiting for rescueD.Special rescuers in Mexico.9.What makes Frida a social media star?A.Her rescue records and tireless work.B.Her cooperation with the rescue team.C.Her cool appearance with some special devices.D.Her ability to search spaces beyond humans'reach.10.What does the underlined word"corpse"in paragraph5probably mean?A.An article of clothing.B.An unconscious animal.C.A dead person.D.A special signal.11.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_______.A.Frida will achieve nothingB.Frida will probably work miraclesC.more dogs will be sent to the areaD.the rest of the rescue will be done by dogsDHybrid cars,also called hybrid electric vehicles(HEVs),are cars that use more than one source of energy to run.They differ from the majority of cars on the road today in several ways.The main difference is that HEVs run on gasoline and electricity.An HEV car has a battery-powered motor as well as an engine that runs on gasoline.A hybrid car is a bit more expensive to produce than a regular car even though its engine is smaller.The reason for the greater expense is that the engine is more complex.It has specialized mechanisms that allow it to operate using gasoline and electric power.It also contains a computer that works differently from those of regular cars.Even though it is more expensive to purchase,it costs less to own than gas-powered cars.When an HEV car is at a stoplight or going at a speed below15miles per hour,its special computer tells it to run just on electric power.When the computer senses that the car needs more power,it puts the gasoline engine back to work.The computer is constantly deciding whether the car will use electricity,gas,or a combination of the two.Because the HEV has electric power to help it run,it uses much less fuel than most cars.In fact hybrid cars are the most fuel-efficient cars that exist today.They can get from50to60miles pergallon on average.The high mileage saves money for the car owner and conserves precious supplies of petroleum.Hybrid cars help the environment in other ways too.For example,whenthe HEV is using electric power,it does not send out poisonous smoke that pollute the air. Despite the differences between hybrid cars and regular cars,HEVs offer the same feel as regular cars.They handle the same way and speed up and stop in the same way too.HEVs,though,are generally smaller than gasoline-powered cars.Their rounded,aerodynamic frame helps add to their fuel efficiency but unfortunately does not add to the amount of space inside the vehicle.12.Which statement best explains the characteristics of an HEV?A.Safe and reliable.B.Expensive but long-lasting.C.Smaller engine,greater power.D.High price,low carbon.13.The transformation between the gasoline and electricity in an HEV is operated by________.A.the engineB.the batteryC.the computerD.the driver14.For what purpose was the HEV invented?A.To save energy.B.To provide better service.C.To lower the expense of purchase.D.To give the drivers a different feeling.15.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A health report.B.A science magazine.C.A vehicle advertisement.D.A travel journal.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。

What do we know about the book written by Larry Cuban?A. It focuses on technological reform in education.B. It aims to improve pre-school education.C. It helps with students’mathematical ability.D. It is based on various academic studies.3. Which book is the most culture-specific?A. Mathematical Induction.B. The Flight of a Butterfly or the Path of a Bullet?.C. The Fight for America's Schools.D. The White Chalk of Days.BI moved to the United States as a teenager.The adjustment to a new place was difficult.But there was major stress in my life at that time ：I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child：art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.I was admitted into industrial design. It’s basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question："Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.Throughout my career，I’ve picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.1. Wh at was the author’s biggest problem when first moving to America?A. The adaption to a new environment.B. Difficulty in learning a new language.C. Fathers disapproval of her studying art.D. The burden of being a communicator.2. What made the author choose to study art?A. Her deep love for art.B. The suggestion of her family.C. Her potential in design.D. The need of a good job.3. Why was the author’s experience of drawing cubes mentioned?A. To emphasize her effort at study.B. To express the regret at her choice.C. To prove the course was difficult.D. To show the basic content of the course.4. How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?A. Surprised.B. Stressed.C. Eager.D. Proud.CWhat are dreams for? A handful of theories have the most influence. Sigmund Freudfamously claimed that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence, researchers found that students in the U. S., Korea, and India were much more likely to accept the view. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or rehearse responses to threatening situations.Even if dreams can't foretell the future, they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics to be school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something.For all the commonalities dreams exhibit, they vary across time—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being looked up, losing a loved one, finding money. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or "wild, violent beasts."If human dreams sound boring, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects. In a study of students taking a French medical-school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreamsthey had beforehand involved a problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't.1.What do you know about Freud's view on dreaming?A.It will cause people more anxiety.B.It's already been proved by evidence.C.It's popular with some American and Asian students.D.It can reveal the hidden truth and predict the future.2. According to recent research, dreams may _______.A.make emotions intenseB.help prepare for special situationsC.reduce our memoriesD.help us take notes3. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true?A.The average person has four or five REM sleep cycles a night.B.Canadian students aren't worried about being late for school.C.Americans usually share the same dream topics with Japanese.D.Films about wild beasts may be widely shown in America in 1958.4. If you dream that you failed the exam, _______.A.your dream will come trueB.you'll be depressed with fearC.you are supposed to take it seriouslyD.it shows that you care a lot about the examDWhile many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common typedrunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in color, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化）before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk，although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托)for visitors.Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease.

AThe Breakfast ClubStarred by John Hughes，1985Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention(拘留)．At seven am．they had nothing to say，but by four pm，they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends—the Jock，the Brain，the Criminal，the Princess，and the Kook．They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together．Pretty in Pink．Starred by Howard Deutch，1986Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one’s dreams are much larger than one’s confidence．Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh，a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store．The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs(势利小人)and she likes a rich kid Blane．There is nothing new about the plot—rich boy and poor girl love each other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance．CluelessStarred by Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone，1995Cher，played by Alicia Silverstone，is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out，talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes．At 15 going on 16，Cher has it all—a white Jeep，an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress，and an unbelievable ability to charm，cajole and whine(哄骗和哭诉)until others obey her requests．The dialogue is wiry and entertaining．1．The Breakfast Club is about__________．A．a prince and a princess B．several criminalsC．several students D．some tourists2．we can conclude from Pretty in Pink that__________．A．the love between Molly and Blane aren’t going smoothlyB．Molly and Blane eventually get marriedC．Molly’s and Blane’a parents quite agree to their loveD．the love between Molly and Blane defeats snobbery3．Which of the following is starred by Howard Deutch?A．The Breakfast Club．B．Pretty in Pink．C．Clueless．D．Beverly Hill Schoo1．4．We can infer that the Breakfast Club，Pretty in Pink and Clueless are three_____．A．world-famous paintings about religionB．Disney’s cartoons about love storiesC．films about teenagersD．ancient Roman fairy talesBPeople back in the United States are always asking me，“What’s it like to live in China?”They hope to hear strange stories about weird food and cultural conflicts．Instead，I tell them that living in China is like being a baby．Please don’t misunderstand me．I don’t think that Chinese people are babies．I am a baby．Or at least，I become one when I leave my house．That’s because babies can’t read，and when I leave my house in Beijing，I'm illiterate(不识字的)．This can be dangerous．If a sign says，“Watch out for big angry bears，”in Chinese，I will continue walking，completely ignorant of my peril(危险)．Then a bear will eat me for breakfast．I have started to recognize a few characters，but they seem impossible to ever learn withouta lifetime of study．When I see a character I like．I give it a name．There is“The Square，”“The Octopus(章鱼)，”“The-upside-down Octopus，”and my favorite，“Upside-down Octopus on an airplane．”However，I still don’t know their sounds or meanings．They are just beautiful mysteries to my eyes．Because I can’t read，city streets present an endless series of enigmas．If I see a business，I wonder，“Is that a restaurant? A dentist? A lawyer’s office?”Once，while hungry，I saw a big colorful sign．I walked in and asked a realtor(房屋中介)to see the drink menu．Speaking of menus，eating at restaurant is a daily misadventure．Many places have photos of food，which is helpful．But if they have no photos，I walk from table to table and point at whatever looks delicious．I apologize if I’ve ever interrupted your dinner to point at your plate．I didn’t mean to be rude．I was just a hungry baby !5．Why does the author think living in China is like being a baby?A．Some Chinese people behave like babies．B．It’s comfortable to be a baby in China．C．He is as curious as a baby about Chinese things．D．He is like a new-born who can’t read at a11．6．What do we know about the author?A．He can order food in simple Chinese．B．He doesn’t know many Chinese Characters．C．His spoken Chinese is better than his written Chinese．D．He memorizes Chinese words based on their sounds．7．In Paragraph5，what does the underlined word enigmas mean?A．Stories．B．Mirac1es．C．Choices． D．Puzzles．8．What is the passage mainly about?A．The author’s love for Chinese food．B．The language barrier the author meets in China．C．Cultural conflicts the author faces in China．D．How the author overcomes difficulties in learning Chinese．CMorgan Holmes had taken part in Boy Scouts of America activities for a few years，but she only became a full member recently．This was because the Boy Scouts began accepting girls from fifth grade to 12th grade into a new program called Scouts BSA．It brings girls the opportunities boys have，including becoming Eagle Scouts，the highest rank of the Boy Scouts．“I'm loving it，”Morgan，now 17，said．“I finally get to wear the uniform now．”Six middle school girls have joined Morgan in Troop48 in Scouts BSA．Some were members of Girls Scouts，and some have brothers in the Boy Scouts．Now brothers and sisters can take part in activities．Morgan knows Boy Scouts activities well．Starting when she was 14，Morgan went on high-adventure outings like hiking 1 00 miles and shooting guns．But she’d never been able to progress to become an Eagle Scout．Now Morgan’s goal is to reach the top rank of Eagle Scout．She regularly runs a mile to build up her body．Now，she’s planning on camping in the snow．“The journey to get there is really exciting，”she said．Since Boy Scout activities are led by the Scouts themselves，Morgan，as the oldest girl，will be organizing activities and teaching the girls to tie knots and other skills．One of those girls in Troop48 is Nicolette U1rich，who is also in the Girl Scouts．Her mother，Sasha Ulrich，said she sees，the Boy Scouts as more leadership oriented and the Girl Scouts as more culturally oriented．This will be shown by all upcoming gathering where girls will learn about different food and cultures from around the world．“Girl Scouts is a great group and she’11 continue to do that．”Sasha said．“But she also wanted the opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts．”9．What did Morgan want to do after becoming a full member of Boy Scouts?A．She wanted to join in the activities with her brother．B．She wanted to challenge herself to become，all Eagle Scout．C．She wanted to compete with boys in all activities.D．She wanted to hike long distances and shoot guns with boys．10．What is the best word to describe Morgan?A．Communicative B．Helpful C．Creative D．Adventurous 11．What does Sasha Ulrich think of Boy Scouts?A．It is more culturally oriented．B．It helps to build teamwork．C．It helps to improve leadership．D．It is more interesting than Girl Scouts．DOne step too farScientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now，and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code．But while this may seem like a great step forward in science，some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics．In August，a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease，reported The Guardian．This was achieved with the help of CRISPR，a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA．Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully，the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients．In 2015，a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer．As of today，she’s alive and well．And in the US last year，scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies．Some people hope that in the future，diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”．However，others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies，giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence．“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children，leading to even greater inequality than we already live with，”Marcy Darnovsky，director of the SanFrancisco Center for Genetics，told BBC News．In spite of these ethical concerns，experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being．Despite the progress scientists have made，We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities．“Right now，we know nothing about genetic enhancement，”Hank Greely，a director of sciences at Stanford University，US，told The New York Times．“We’re never going to be able to say，honestly，‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT．’”So it looks like if we want good exam results，or to impress people with our piano skills，we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now．12．The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________．A．record B．change C．remove D．increase13．Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A．They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases．B．They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations．C．They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality．D．They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects．14．What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A．A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB．A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells．C．HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies．D．Some birth defects were simply edited out．15．What can we conclude from the text?A．Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects．B．There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes．C．Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future．D．Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing．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。

try，they have discovered many wonderful places across the world．SantoriniIt is one of the most amazing places of the world in Greece．It is said to be completely destroyed in the 16th century and since then it is rebuilding and it's beauties are increasing with every passing day．The most ideal period of the year to go to this miracle is from pril to September．There are a lot of island in this city and sunbathing around any of these would be an unforgettable experience．There is a natural pool which attracts the tourists from the world．RomeThe ancient city of Rome in Italy is also called the center of western civilization．This city was discovered in 753 BC．The coliseum in Rome is the world's most iconic （标志性的）monument．There is no one who wishes to return from Rome without seeing this monument．Moreover，the Pantheon and Pizza Navona are also places worth visiting in Rome．BarcelonaThe city of Barcelona is a good mixture of modern as well as ancient Roman civilization．It is also famous due to the Olympic Games that take place in it．It is much likea big village with enjoyable streets for walking．IstanbulThe Turkish city of Istanbul is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit in lifetime．This city joins Asian and European civilizations．It is also an old city with the old name of Constantinople．It is the cultural，economical，historical center of Turkey．（1）Which city connects

water off the coast of Australia：great white sharks．The concert，presented by Airbnb，is part of a 12 hour tour to an offshore location near Port Lincoln，Australia，which is known as a feeding ground for great white sharks．Rather than using the traditional "chum"﹣﹣﹣fish parts and blood in the water to attract the sharks ﹣﹣﹣organizers hope the music will draw them in．This admittedly "over﹣the﹣top experience" was created "to educate people and show them that sharks are worthy respects，and protection，" according to Airbnb．Throughout the day，concert goers will observe sharks and other marine life in their natural habitat．The on﹣going，driving boat of rock music﹣especially the dense，base thrumming beats of hard rock and heavy metal﹣can attract wild sharks in the open ocean，as Matt﹣Waller，shark tour operator and owner of adventure Bay Charters in Australia，discovered in 2011．Waller had heard from a shark tour colleague who experimented with underwater speakers that the sharks behaved differently in the presence of music﹣particularly rock music．Over time，Waller tried many types of music，with varying degrees of success in attractingsharks．In 2015，when the Discovery Channel filmed Waller playing heavy metal underwater，the music attracted the attention of two great white sharks：one was 12 feet long，and one was 14 feet long．Now，Waller is partnering with Airbnb lo broadcast Kiss' music to great whites．While the Kiss show is certainly an unusual approach for bringing people and sharks together，perhaps the common ground of rock and roll will encourage a greater awareness of sharks as creatures that are vital to ocean ecosystems and deserving of respect rather than fear．Waller told Live Science．（1）Why does kiss hold the concert？A．To confirm a former experimentB．To change human attitudes to music．C．To introduce the sharks to the public．D．To encourage positive awareness of sharks．（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to？A．The performers．B．The concertgoers．C．The sharks．D．The tourists．（3）Which of the following may Matt Waller agree？A．Shark tours should be prohibited．B．Rock music can attract wild sharks．C．Humans should keep away from sharks．D．The Kiss approach is not worth following．（4）What can be the best title of the text？A．Great White Sharks Get a Concert from Kiss．B．Rock Band Kiss Holds a Concert in Australia．C．Great White Sharks Care about Music．D．Airbnb Comes into Rock﹣roll Market．3．（10分）Today is Friday the 13th of the year．Even though the date is known throughoutWestern culture as one associated with negative things，it's really just another Friday on the calendar．There is no scientific evidence to suggest this day has an increased chance of bad occurrences compared with other days．But that doesn't mean scientists haven't tried to find any．In Thomas W．Lawsons 1907 novel．Friday，the Thirteenth a businessman takes advantage of the superstition （迷信）and creates a Wall Street panic on the day．The book was the likely inspiration for a number of scientific examinations of stock market returns on Fridays that fell on the 13th day of the month compared with all other Fridays．In 2001，business professor at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland，published his analysis of a few of those studies and found several flaws．The studies had narrow assessments overall，focusing on just a few markets or a single stock exchange．But when he analyzed the data as a whole，Lucey found that internationally，with few exceptions returns on Friday the 13th were typically just a little higher than returns on other Fridays．The scientific evidence for cause and effect may not be there but people may still alter their behavior on Friday the 13th in a way that causes certain things to happen．The way people drive might be different from their usual．But the few studies that have examined traffic accidents haven't found statistically significant trends to suggest Friday the 13th is more dangerous than other Fridays on the road．The science is clear：Friday the 13th is a normal day．Yet，people continue to think this is meant to be a bad day．"Psychologically，superstitions arise from the desire to influence external events，decrease anxiety and reduce uncertainty，" said Neil Dagnall，a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University．Besides，I don't think people know often why they do things．"（1）Why is Friday the 13th usually associated with negativity？A．The date increases possibility of risk．B．Scientists have found enough evidence．C．Culture has taught its people to believe so．D．Things always go bad or worse on the day．（2）What did Brian's Lucey's studies focus on？A．Novels relating to Friday the 13th．B．Written records of Wall Street panic．C．Analysis of successful business cases．D．Stock market returns on Friday the 13th．（3）In Paragraph 3，the few studies are mentioned to show that．A．human fear of Friday the 13th is no1 necessary．B．traffic accidents can be avoided on other Fridays．C．people tend to behave strangely on Friday the 13th．D．staying at home is recommended on Friday the 13th．（4）What does Neil Dagnall think of superstitions？A．They can lead the endless human desires．B．They can help people to reduce anxiety．C．They cause great harm to physical healthD．They produce a sense of controlling everything．4．（10分）Many hobbies are suitable for transforming into a side business，or even a fully developed one．Even though it can take some time to establish yourself in most of these markets，it's usually well worth the effort in the long run．However，there are various considerations you'll need to make along the way．First things first﹣﹣﹣just because you're good at something it doesn't mean it's a good idea to start a business around it．Some hobbies are just that hobbies，and they don't have a serious potential for anything more than that．You may be the best at making mini house from matches，but how many of those have been sold over the last couple of months？Do enough research beforehand to verify that there are actually enough people out there who would have an interest in buying your product or service in the first place．Once the business is up and running，you'll need to spend the word yourself．Don't expect people to come rushing through your doors．Promotion is something that you'll ideally start thinking about before you've even set up the company．It's a highly individual process and depend on the kind of product you're selling，your local area，as well as the resources you have available for your business．But no matter how much you can afford on promotion，it's something that must always be the most important until you've established yourselfproperly．Once you're there，things will start flowing more smoothly．But you'll still have to keep your marketing game active because it's easy to get overtaken by your competitors if you're not careful．Make sure that you are always pushing hard on that front and consider experimenting with some more recent solutions as well．（1）What does the author advise in Paragraph 1？A．Setting up a side business as a try．B．Coming up with some creative ideas．C．Doing research on a potential market．D．Taking a serious hobby into consideration．（2）What does the underlined word "verily" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．Illustrate．B．Check．C．Announce．D．Indicate．（3）What can be learned from Paragraph 3？A．Not everyone can afford business promotion．B．Advertisement is not necessary in your local area．C．Resources play an important role on product sale．D．Promotion is a key factor to business development．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？A．Taking up your own hobbies．B．Setting up a successful business．C．Turning your hobby into a business．D．Establishing yourself in the market．第二节（共1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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）My dad passed away yesterday and I am processing everything．It's hard to try and find positivity in my pain，but my Dad taught me so much when he was healthy，and whenhe wasn't I wanted to share some of the lessons．Be on the phone less．This one seems strange but in his final moments I was all in，no checking my phone because it really didn't matter （1）This was a moment I needed to remember and I would have regretted it if I was distracted in this part of his journey．（2）Sometimes we need people to lean on．My mom and dad needed a lot of help．I needed a lot of help．We were surrounded by people willing to help us and instead of shutting them out like we've done in the past，we let them in and it was exactly what we needed．Not everyone will understand your experience．（3）Just knowing people are here for us means a lot，but I also know that no one will fully understand my experience and that's okay as we are all different．Family is not necessarily the people who brought you into this world．I am adopted and I know we chose each other．（4）I loved my father very much．There's nothing more important than being with the ones you love．I was able to hold my Dad when he took his last breath．My Mom and I made sure that my Dad knew he was loved through his journey．（5）Everything else is secondary．A．all that mattered was him．B．Love is what truly matters．C．Surround yourself with a support system．D．And he loved me more than anyone on this Earth．E．It's okay not to understand the reason for everything．F．Really，we can

her seventeen years on this earth，Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people than many adults two，three and four times her age．The non﹣profit organization she founded．NEST1US，has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States．Venkat's enthusiasm for helping others started as soon as she could walk，as her parents active volunteers themselves，brought her along on their various projects．By fifth grade，she started organizing her own service projects in her community．"I like doing good things but I'd rather do then with friends，" she explains．"It brings me so much happiness and joy to help．"NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is，how many hungry people there are．"There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D．C．and he was holding a
