Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film,is on track to be one of the highest-grossing (总收入) films in China’s history. The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far,it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office.Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award.“Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the fil m wrote on the review site Douban.The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful m ovie but about multiple films.”Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes and the one-dimensional female characters — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) E arth from the solar system, Liu said: “Ofcourse we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.”5. Wandering Earth has become China’s ________.A. first blockbuster sci-fi filmB. highest-grossing filmC. only sci-fi film this yearD. first sci-fi film to win an award6. What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Praiseful.D. Uncaring.7. Which aspect do the critics think is a shortcoming of the film?A. The theory.B. The ending.C. The special effects.D. The plot holes.CThe legislature(立法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history. So begins a new bill introduced in Hawaii’s State House, calling for a ban on cigare tte sales in the state by 2024.Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024. That would effectively clear Hawai’s store shelves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.And curiously,, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes ear the end of their life — if they could find themRichard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “endgame” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought it could be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly un likely he or she will become one.”8. What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?A. Hawaii has no cigarette laws at present.B. The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in 2023.C. The age to buy cigarettes was raised to 21 in 2016.D. All cigarette stores in the state have been closed.9. What does the new bill call for?A. Even tourists can’t bring cigarettes to Hawaii.B. No one under 100 can buy cigarettes by 2024.C. Hawaiians can’t buy cigarettes in other states.D. Growing tobacco is not allowed in Hawaii.10. The underlined words in the last paragraph mean “________”.A. buys their first pack of cigarettesB. smokes their first cigaretteC. quits smoking for the first timeD. first offers cigarettes to others11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarette sales.B. Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buying age.C. Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboring states.D. Hawaii has released a report on the harm of smoking.DStanford University has begun an investigation following claims that some of its staff knew long ago of Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s plans to create the world’s first gene-edited babies.A university official said a review was under way of interactions some faculty members had with He. who was e ducated at Stanford. Several professors including He’s former research adviser have said that they knew or strongly suspected that He wanted to try gene editing on embryos (胚胎).The Chinese genetic scientist posted a video on You Tube in November 2018. He claimed in the video that he had used a gene-editing tool Crispr-Cas9 to modify (修改) a particular gene in two embryos before they were placed in their mother’s womb (子宫). He, who works in a lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, said the twin girls, known as Lulu and Nana, were born using an egg that was modified. He focused on HIV infection prevention becausethe father is HIV positive. “Now the father has a reason to live, a reason to work, he has a purpose,” He said.Editing the genes of embryos, which can change other genes, is banned in many countries because DNA changes are passed to future generations and could have unforeseen effects on the entire gene pool.China’s national health commission ordered officials to “seriously investigate” He’s claims. Shenzhen’s health and family planning commission said it was investigating the review process around He’ s work.Research institutions connected to He have distanced themselves from him. “This research work was carried out by Professor He Jiankui ou tside of the school,” said the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen. It called his research a “serious violation of academic ethics (道德)”.12. What did He Jiankui claim in the video posted on You Tube?A. He was wrong in trying gene editing on embryos.B. He prevented the twins from developing cancer.C. He modified a gene in Lulu and Nana’s embryos.D. He was influenced by his research adviser in Stanford.13. Why is gene editing of embryos banned in many countries?A. The effect of DNA changes on the gene pool is unforeseeable.B. It causes disabilities to the gene-edited babies.C. The future generations will rely on gene editing.D. It will affect all the healthy genes of the embryos.14. How did the university in Shenzhen react to H e’s video claim?A. It ordered investigations to be conducted.B. It called the incident a big shame for the nation.C. It declared not related to He’s research.D. It kept a distance from the media.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The USA Bans Gene-editingB. What are the Ethics of Medical Treatment?C. Scientists Find the Idea of Gene-edited Babies CrazyD. Stanford Investigates Links to Scientist in Gene Editing第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I ’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’vegot 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up thestem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“ Well,I ’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to t he United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me,re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originallyscheduled.For this courier job,you ’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“ courier”in Paragraph 1?A.providerB.delivery manC.collectorD.medical doctor26.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?A.He cannot stay away from his job too long.B.The donor can only wait for that long.C.The operation needs that much time.D.The ice won ’t last any longer.27.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A.To London.B.To Newark.C.To Providence.D.To Washington.C(2018 课标全国Ⅱ ,D)We’ve all been there:in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with theuncomfortable silence.What’s the problem?It ’s possible that we all have compromised conversationalintelligence. It ’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it ’s awkward and challenging, or we think it ’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it ’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren ’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease( 润滑剂 )for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “ Almost every great love story and each big business dealbegins with small talk, ” he explains. “ The key to successful small talk is learning how toconnect with others, not just communicate with them. ”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction( 互动 )with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shopexperience. “It ’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”says Dunn. “ But interactions with peripheral( 边缘的 )members of our social network matter forour well-being also. ”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater senseof belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“ Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.28.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.29.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.30.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises people’s confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable SilenceD(2017 课标全国Ⅰ ,D)A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking waterin areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural subs titutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'× 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet acrossand three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirtand weighting the sheet’s center dow n with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体 ) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates(蒸发 ) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and falloff into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through thetube, and won ’t have to break down the still ev ery time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It ’s delicate.B.It ’s expensive.C.It ’s complex.D.It ’s portable.33.What does the underlined phrase“the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet’s center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from.A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeC.the open airD.beneath the sheet第二节 ( 共 5 小题 ; 每小题 2 分 , 满分 10 分)(2018 课标全国Ⅱ )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。

A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways.But where did the word “maverick” come from?Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher.One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves.It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners.It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners brandedtheirs, then those without a brand belonged to him.And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group.4. Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle?A. To get some money.B. To return what he owed him.C. To buy some of his land.D. To ask him to raise them.5. How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to?A. Through the brand on the cattle.B. Through the name of the cattle.C. Through the appearance of the cattle.D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed.6. What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text?A. He was born in Texas.B. He took good care of all his cattle.C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle.D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become an independent thinker.B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand.C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick.D. How the word “maverick” got into American English.CWhen girls play with cars, they're serious. It was at primary school that Gu Huijing first became interested in cars after watching some car-themed movies. Born in2004 inShenzhen, Guangdong province, Gu decided to major in automobiles (汽车) when she was in junior high.She's driven by interest, but she is also a realist. “I think the future of the automobile industry is bright because we cannot live without food, clothes, houses and cars,” she said.In April, she won first prize at a competition for vehicle maintenance (车辆维修) in Dongguan city, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province.“I thought it couldn't be that hard to repair cars when I started to take courses, but I was totally wrong,” Gu said. When she started learning in 2019, she was frequently confused by various problems. “And competition within our school is intense, so I had to work extra hard,” she said.Her teacher once tried to persuade her to give up as she was a sophomore (大二学生), and wasn't as knowledgeable as the seniors, and no women had ever been selected for the competition before. “But I insistedthat I would carry on,” she said. Finally, her training and hard work won her the only place to stand for her school at the competition.A woman winning first prize in a vehicle maintenance competition became a hot topic on-line, causing heated discussions over gender (性别) and career choices. “Women should not be influenced by old-fashioned thinking, and should do whatever it takes to discover their interests and strengths. There are more possibilities out there,” one netizen wrote.Gu said, “Many people think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That's wrong. I don't think gender has anything to do with choice of jobs.” “I have a goal and I will work harder to make it happen,” she added. “I will be responsible for my choices.”8. What was a cause of Gu's choosing automobiles as her major?A. The love for automobiles.B. The guidance from her parents.C. The high popularity of automobiles.D. The determination to contribute to society.9. Why did Gu's teacher advise her to quit the competition?A. She lacked the knowledge related to it.B. She had never taken part in a competition before.C. She was unlikely to win the competition.D. Women were not allowed to enter the competition.10. Which of the following best describes Gu Huijing?A. Creative and caring.B. Determined and hard-working.C. Independent and humorous.D. Honest and courageous.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. There Is No End To LearningB. Teenage Girl Wins Car Repair ContestC. Vehicle Maintenance Catches OnD. Taking Challenge Leads To SuccessDA nurse has fulfilled (实现) a promise she made to her patient four years ago to one day attend her daughter's graduation from nursing school.Edina Habibovic, 22, graduated from Chamberlain University's College of Nursing in 2020. Her mother, Sevala Habibovic, 46, died in2017 after a two year fight with breast cancer.“I thought the medical field wasn't for me. Then, my mom got sick and I had all the experience going in and out of the hospital, ” Edina toldGood MorningAmerica. “When my mom passed away, I thought, ‘I want to dothis.’”she said.Sanja Josipovic, who at the time worked as a home health nurse with Northwestern Medicine in Winfield, Illinois, cared for Sevala inside her home. They often chatted and shared the latest news with each other over six months of care.“She was most worried about Edina because she was young and hadn't finished school yet, ” Sanja said. “We are like sisters; we care about and trust each other. She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working, my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala's life was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation. “That was the only thing she was going to miss. Edina's graduation, ” said Sanja, who is a mother of three herself. She agreed.Due to COVID -19, there was no graduation or pinning ceremony. Edina's manager at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital decided to host a pinning ceremony for her and have Sanja present the pin. “Sanja has fulfilled her promise, ” Edina said.Edina and Sanja are now caring for patients alongside one another as colleagues at Marianjoy.12.

When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her unhappiness. Grimm and Prisilla's mom were concerned, but their ideas didn't work. “We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks,” Grimm said. “However,it wasn't sinking in.”Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: Cut off her hair — a scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it. “I've never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision,” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm invited a hairstylist friend to her home. “I told him to keep going, even if I cried,” she said.The class loved their teacher's new do, especially Prisilla, who excitedly ran off the school bus that afternoon yelling, “Mom, Ms. Grimm cut her hair!” The teacher also bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so they could style their hair together.In February, the teacher recommended Prisilla for the school district's Student of the Month Award, but during the Monday ceremony, she received a surprise “hero medal” from the girl. “Now we have matching awards,” says Grimm.Prisilla's mother, Maria, said that Grimm's thoughtfulness brought her to tears. “I was shocked. I was crying. I couldn't believe it — she did something I wouldn't have the bravery to do. I will never forget that.”(1)(2分)Why was Prisilla unhappy at school?A.She wasn't satisfied with her teacher.B.She couldn't concentrate in class.C.She was laughed at by her classmates.D.She couldn't get on well with others.(2)(2分)What made Grimm have her own hair cut?A.Praise from her students.B.Devotion to her students.C.Request of Prisilla's mother.D.Suggestion from the hairstylist.(3)(2分)What can we know about Grimm?A.She had her hair cut together with Prisilla.B.She expressed her sincere thanks to her pupils.C.She hesitated a lot before having her hair cut.D.She won a gold medal for facing difficulties bravely.(4)(2分)What is the text mainly about?A.How Grimm helped her student out.B.What problem Prisilla had at school.C.Why Prisilla won the Month Award.D.When Grimm got her new hairstyle.3.(8分)阅读理解Finding a mountain goat resting high on a cliff(悬崖) might thrill many of the millions of tourists who visit Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park every year, but park officials say it might be time for the bearded animals to go.The problem, according to the park, is that Grand Teton's 100 or so mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton's mountain goats aren't native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “We've got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as mid-February on what to do about the mountain goats.”The goats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they're too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the proposal. Mountain goats' original habitat is nowhere close to where they've been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities, said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.”(1)(2分)What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?A.Their size is huge.B.Their number is decreasing.C.They arrived in the 1960s.D.They threaten local species.(2)(2分)How did the public help park officials protect the bighorn sheep?A.By providing suggestions.B.By driving away mountain goats.C.By volunteering in the park.D.By taking over Grand Teton National Park.(3)(2分)What is Germann's attitude towards the bighorn sheep?A.Curious.B.Proud.C.Surprised.D.Concerned.(4)(2分)What was the purpose of bringing in mountain goats in the beginning?A.To offer hunting chances.B.To sell nonnative wildlife.C.To satisfy wildlife managers.D.To increase diversities of sheep.4.(8分)阅读理解March 3 marks World Hearing Day. This year's theme is “Check your hearing!” Many experts and health organizations, including those who pay attention to the hearing-impaired (听力障碍), are working to help people realize the importance of protecting their hearing and avoid hearing loss.When we talk about music, what kind of feelings does it bring? Excitement… and relaxation. But what if the music lasts for hours?We interviewed a group of musicians based in Beijing during the weekend. They all said that hours of exposure to loud music can cause discomfort. One added that band members like to play at maximum volume (音量) and forget the harm that loud music can cause. The same thing not only occurs to musicians. It's also not rare for daily users since listening to loud music on loud sound equipment has become a part of modem life. According to the WHO, the practice has put more than a billion people around the world, aged 12-35, at risk of losing their hearing.We also interviewed some headphone users in the street, and most of them said that they are not heavy users but admitted they use headphones for hours on the subway and in the office or home. It's easy for these people to gradually increase the volume without awareness, especially in a noisy environment. Often, headphone users fail to realize they're listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenly occur.There are many reasons for hearing loss, including loud acoustic (听觉的) sources, drug abuse, and diseases. Experts suggest frequent medical checks and prevention measures.Whether congenital (先天的) or acquired, loss of hearing is usually irreversible. “Once the hearing loss occurs, it's already too late to be changed back to what it was before,” said Yang Shiming, expert of the Chinese PLA General Hospital. “Early prevention, early identification and early treatment. If everyone could do these things, hearing loss and its harm could be kept to a minimum,” Yang said. Of course, this applies to every one of us.(1)(2分)What might be a reason for hearing loss?A.Listening to music.B.Taking medicines.C.Ignoring sound pollution.D.Using headphones.(2)(2分)What does Yang Shiming advise people to do about hearing loss?A.Get rid of drug abuse.B.Make prevention ahead of time.C.Stop playing music in bands.D.Choose music with the help of musicians.(3)(2分)Which can best explain “irreversible” underlined in the last paragraph?A.Incurable.B.Unavailable.C.Unbelievable.D.Invisible.(4)(2分)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Preventing Hearing LossB.Reasons for Losing HearingC.The Origin of World Hearing DayD.Raising Awareness of Protecting Hearing二、任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) (共1题;共10分)5.(10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选择中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A篇Romania is one of the most overlooked European holiday destinations. Indeed, large parts ofRomania are modernizing, and its distinctive rural folk culture and lots of native foods are well worth tryingBucharestIt is the capital city of Romania, known as “Little Paris”, due to its Parisian-style buildings and international feel. Bucharest is a charming city with the largest population in Romania.Gura PortiteiIt is a small island offering a peaceful world away from the noise of city life. There are beautifulbeaches and you can take a dip in the sun-warmed sea. It’s a place to visit for wonderful views of the natural surroundings, delicious fresh fish and boat trips.SibiuVisiting Sibiu is a must for the culture-hungry travelers. There are many trendy coffee shops and small restaurants along quiet narrow streets. The Brukenthal Palace, a beautiful baroque building that holds impressive art collections from various European painters, dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, should not be missed.Foods and winesSarmale, meat (pork and beef) and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves, topped with thick sour cream, is tasty and moreish. Fish dishes, found near the Black Sea, are worthy of your attention too. After you've eaten, try a shot of tuica, a kind of homemade plum brandy. Romania also boasts a growing wine market.Skiing in SuiorSuior is one of the best places to go skiing in Romania, for it’s surrounded by landscapes that appear to be trapped in time. You can explore rural landscape of small farms and a way of life that has long disappeared from most of Europe. Suior hosts multiple slopes (坡) that are ideal for beginners and those without ambition to go to the Olympics.1.What can tourists do in Bucharest?A. Appreciate Parisian-style buildings.B. Enjoy beaches and swim in the sea.C. Go skiing and explore rural scenery.D. Drink a cup of homemade plum brandy.2.Which of the following appeals to tourists loving culture?A. Bucharest.B. Gura Portitei.C. Sibiu.D. Suior.3.Why is Suior one of the best places to go skiing?A. It offers a peaceful world.B. It has wonderful landscapes.C. It has multiple slopes.D. It hosted the Olympics.B篇In the corner of the spare room at my house is a dark brown Victorian cupboard. It was bought by my great-grandmother in a house sale in 1910. Not only has it done the same job since the 1900s, it does so with far more success than my modern white IKEA (宜家) cupboard.Some critics say the next generation will have nothing to do with brown furniture and minimalism (极简主义) is to blame. For the past few decades, white has been the most fashionable color. Modern white furniture, cheap and classless, became the perfect symbol of our age.However, people are starting to realize that brown furniture —either passed down between generations or picked up at auction (拍卖会) —is not to be looked down on.Prices of antique brown furniture are increasing. A set of Victorian chairs costing around 600 today are approximately $70 more expensive than in January 2017. Auction prices are also increasing. At Christie’s most recent sale, a pair of George IV-style mahogany (红木) bookcases sold for $17,500, despite their $4,000-$6,000 estimate. Sales growth at IKEA, by contrast, has been slowing since 2012.Decoration experts who once told us that brown furniture was out have now decided the opposite. A few young designers are starting to pack their houses full of brown furniture. People love brown furniture because they can talk about it using terms like “sustainable” and “eco-friendly”. But the real joy of brown furniture is that it has lived. A 17th century Windsor chair may bear the m arks of its maker. Brown furniture has survived the passage of time, and has beaten the decoration experts. A set of modern cupboard with simple installation cannot beat a well-made drawer.4. What do we know about the Victorian cupboard in the author’s house?A. It was not so good as her IKEA cupboard.B. It has been used for more than a century.C. It has nothing to do with brown furniture.D. It was picked up at auction in 1910.5. Why was modern white furniture fashionable?A. It was cheap and classless.B. It went against minimalism.C. It was sustainable and eco-friendly.D. Its price was lower than brown furniture.6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A. Present the price of a set of Victorian chairs.B. Explain why sales growth at IKEA slows down.C. Indicate people tend to favor antique brown furniture.D. Introduce the recent auction prices of antique brown furniture.7. What can be a suitable title for the text? .A. My Brown Victorian CupboardB. Brown Furniture is Coming BackC. Minimalism Beat Antique Brown FurnitureD. Decoration Experts Lead the Furniture FashionC篇Chinese esports club Invictus Gaming (IG), claimed Chinese first world championship in League of Legends (LOL) after beating the former European team Fnatic 3-0 on November 13th, 2018.It is extraordinary that a Chinese team has won the LOL championship. However, it should be acknowledged that it’s the first time that a Chinese team has won LOL championship in the past seven years. In terms of esports, China lags far behind Korea. Actually, even during this championship, three of the six members of the Chinese team were from Korea. That is rather surprising as China has the largest number of esports players, the largest audience, as well as the biggest esports market in the whole world, all of which are basics for good esports performance.The public does not know the hard work that goes into becoming a qualified esports player. Unlike the money-consuming cyber games, esports is a fair play, and a well-known player must have both talent and passion to work hard.A chief reason of esports players suffering from prejudice in the past was their low income. Before the age of mobile internet, esports players could hardly earn a fair income because the industry was far from beingcommercialized. Even Li Xiaofeng, who won World Cyber Game championships on Warcraft III in 2005 and 2006, got only $25,000.Yet, with the technology of livestreaming (直播), increasingly more people are becoming attracted to esports. At least 200 million people around the world watched the LOL championship that IG just won. More audience means more commercial opportunities. more investment, as well as more income for the players.8. What does the underlined word “lags” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Lasts.B. Moves.C. Falls.D. Fails.9. What is important to be a professional esports player?A. Continuous efforts and enthusiasm.B. Playing an indeed fair cyber game.C. Attracting commercial chances.D. Spending more time and cash.10.Why were esports players looked down upon?A. They used mobile phones to play games.B. Their incomes were only $25,000.C. They were disliked by the public.D. They couldn't have fair profits.11.What do we know from the passage?A. Chinese esports used to be much stronger than those of Korea.B. Chinese teams lack basics for good esports performances.C. Esports can be more promising with a large market.D. Cyber games and esports are both fair games.D篇“It is truly an amazing feeling when you know that you have built something that no one else everhas and it actually works,” said Donna Strickland, who joined Marie Curie and Maria Goeppert-Mayer as the only women to win the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018. She shared the prize with Arthur Ashkin and Gerard Mourou.“Now, not everyone thinks physics is fun. But I do. I think experimental physics is especially fun because not only do you get to solve puzzles about the universe or here on earth, there are really cool toys in the lab. I played with high intensity lasers that can do magical things, like taking one color of laser light and turning it into a rainbow of colors,” she said.Gerard Mourou, who was her PhD supervisor, dreamed up the idea of increasing laser intensity. Donna made sure this beautiful idea and made it a reality. She built a pulse stretcher, a laser amplifier (放大器) and finally a pulse compressor (压缩机). She had to measure the pulse durations (脉冲时长) and frequency spectrum (频谱). She figured out all the problems.Then it was finally time to measure the duration of the compressed amplified pulses. Hard as she tried, Donna had no solutions. Thanks to her colleague, Steve Williamson, had the way and he wheeled history camera into her lab one night, and together they measured the compressed pulse width of the amplified pulses. Donna would never forget that night because the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences thought it was an exciting moment for the field of laser physics.12. What do we know about Donna?A. She won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 all by herself.B. She discovered laser with Arthur Ashkin and Gerard Mourou.C. She was the only woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in history.D. She invented something important in the field of laser physics successfully.13.How does Donna think of the experimental physics?A. It is interesting.B. It is complex.C. It is difficult.D. It is boring.14. What is the biggest challenge for Donna to make Gerard’s idea come true?A. How to build a pulse stretcher.B. Where to put a laser amplifier and a pulse compressor..C. When to measure the pulse duration and frequency spectrum.D. How to measure the duration of the compressed amplified pulses.15. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To remember Marie Curie.B. To introduce a female physicist.C. To learn about the Nobel Prize 2018.D. To prove experimental physics is interesting.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We have to run.”he repeatedly shouted.He grasped people and told them to follow him toward a parking area in the direction of the airport,away from Las Vegas Avenue.A few girls weren’t fully hidden.The copy machine repairman from Orange County,California ,stood up and moved toward them to urge them to get on the ground.That’s when a bullet(子弹) struck him in the neck.Smith believes an off-duty San Diego police officer saved his life.The officer came over and tried to stop the bleeding and then signaled passing cars to try to get Smith a ride.By the time Smith got into a vehicle,he was struggling to breathe.Surgeons found it too risky to remove the bullet from his neck.Smith may have to live with it for the rest of his life.His courageous actions helped his photos go viral on Twitter and Reddit.A photo of Smith has been shared more than 74,000 times,with 177,000“likes”.“I don’t see myself that way,”he said.“I would want someone to do the same for me.No one deserves to lose a life coming to a country festival.” 24.Why did Smith go to the music festival?A.To enjoy fireworks.B.To gather with his family.C.To meet his favourite singers.D.To celebrate his brother’s birthday.25.How did Smith save the people behind a car?A.By directing them to the airport.B.By blocking bullets with his body.C.By taking them to a safe parking lot.D.By pressing them to lie on the ground.26.The surgeons didn’t remove the bullet in Smith’s neck in order to________.A.1et it fall out naturally B.avoid doing harm to himC.make it stop the bleeding D.use it as a reminder of safety27.What do Twitter and Reddit users think of Smith?A.He is a heroic figure.B.He is a modest person.C.He is an Internet addict.D.He is an ambitious dreamer.CThe world’s most complex biological computer, made from a group of engineered cells, could one da y be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reactioninside the cell that would make it shine different colours. The other cell worked in the same way but could subtract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.Most biological reactions in the body aren’t that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output” – instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition.To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multicellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other.The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical inputs – similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can respond to multiple inputs.“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the most complex biological computer ever assembled,” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学) –a lack of programmable devices,” says Ángel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. He says that Fussenegger’s multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in different configurations (设置).In the future, a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complex medical conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate treatment.28. The underlined word “subtract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A. add upB. take awayC. split upD. give away29. What was the progress made in Fussenegger’s early research?A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.B. The indication of infectious substances became a reality.C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions.D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics.30. What has made Fussenegger’s current multicellular system so special?A. It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuit.B. It is programmable and able to perform different mathematics.C. It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell.D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Smart cells indicating various cancersB. Electronic circuit made from multi-cellsC. Programmable cells implanted in human bodiesD. Biological computer made from human cellsD“Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purcha se,” George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to send men and women to Mars. They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.”Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and C lark’s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living. Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today’s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history.Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with current technology.Present systems for getting from Earth’s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs—or by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Marscould do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck(敬畏的) staring into the sky of another world. Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of sending people.It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplishments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush’s proposal, which calls for reprogramming some of NASA’s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science—the one aspect of space explorati on that’s working really well.Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced propulsion (推进力)? lf new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.32. What do Lewis and Clark’s expedition and a Mars mission have in common?A. Instant value.B. Human inhabitance.C. Venture cost.D. Exploring spirit.33. Bush’s proposal is challenged for the following reasons except that.A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford.B. American people’s well-being will suffer a lot if it is implementedC. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in AmericaD. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment34. Which cannot be concluded from the passage?A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic.B. A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program.C. Bush’s proposal is based on thre e recent great achievements of space explorationD. The achievements in space exploration show how well unmanned science has developed.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain Americas position as a technological leader.B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America.C. Someday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense.D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won’t mak e great discoveries.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
