Brian needed to meet a man named T ony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near th e Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package."Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it.

One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip." "Thanks."Is Brian a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses someti mes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign co untries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a pack age with an air-courier, but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However , air-courier travel isn't for everyone.

However, many adult s do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adul t today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of slee p deprivation in the working population. A significant numberof people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleepl essness or jet lag.Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep de privation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical a ctivity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain ca nnot function normally. In one study, thirteen healthy adult su bjects who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awak e and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform s everal tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers foun d that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, w as active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in sub jects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sl eep, there was no activity within this region.Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of slee p can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers , researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same eff ects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after b eing awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a bl ood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concl uded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider si milar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.12. The underlined word "deprivation" in the First Paragraph i s closest in meaning to_______.A. weaknessB. lossC. discomfortD. pain13. The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sle ep deprivation EXCEPT______.A. jet lagB. long work hoursC. boring workD. working at night14. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_________.A. how many hours people can survive without sleepB. how people react when their sleep is interruptedC. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleepD. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity15. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Last P aragraph?A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol l evel.B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.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。

Their songs are thought to attract females in high frequencysounds while to compete with other males in low frequency sounds. Research ledby the Wildlife Conservation Society has now made a new discovery.The studylooked at the songs of two humpback whale populations, basedon soundrecordings collected from 2013 to 2018. One group was based in the SouthAtlantic, off the coast of Gabon, and the other in the Indian Ocean nearMadagascar. Analysis of the recordingsshowed that the two groups picked up musical ideas from each other and borrowedphrases and themes into their latest song. This suggested that the males fromthe two groups came into contact with each other over the five years and sharedsongs.To uncoverthis musical cooperation, researchers recorded the songs and transcribethem into more than 1,500 individual sounds and patterns, or song units. They found that the units were composed intolarger phrases, which were then repeated to form themes. These themes were sungfor hours at a time, or even days. By 2018, both populations have been singinglargely the same songs.“Thissimilarity in the songs shows that these two populations come into closercontact than other southern populations, explains Dr Melinda Rekdahl, leadingauthor of the study.

Fill in each blankwith the word of phrase that best fits the context.There was once a timethat I would only do what I knew was comfortable for me. Stuck in a continuouscycle of repetitive choices, I knew what was1when it came to makingdecisions.

Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For eachof them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.Notices have been put up here and there in thevillage for the last fortnight announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly FlowerShow, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I becamethe village schoolmistress here, the Flower Show appears to have been an event ofsome importance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre.I decided to go to the meeting, as the childrenin my school, I knew, usedto play quite a large part in this village excitementand there were a number of sp ecial competitions, such as collecting wild flowers,making dolls’ house decorations or little gardens and so on, included in the program.It was a freezing, starlit night. By the time Iarrived at the Village hall, there were about ten people already there. The doctorwas chairman of the meeting.A few men were warming their hand over the rather smokyoil stove, which was trying, somewhat inefficiently, to warm the room. The meetingwas called for seven thirty---a most inconvenient time in my private opinion asit successfully upsets the evening and puts back the time of one’s evening meal.By a quarter to eight only fifteen people had arrived.“I think we must begin,” the doctorsaid, turning his gentle smile upon us. He gave a short speech about the pastglories of Fairarce’s Flower Show and his hopes that it might take place again.”Perhaps someone would put forward the suggestion that the Flower Show berestarted?” he suggested. There was a heavy silence, broken only by themovement of feet from the bench at the back. All fifteen of us, I noticed, weremiddle-aged. John Pringle, Mrs. Pringle’s only child, must have been theyoungest among us and he is a man of nearly thirty. It was John who, at last,shyly answered the doctor’s request.“I’ll do it,” he said. “Proposewe have a Flower Show then.” He sat down, pink and self-conscious, and thedoctor thanked him sincerely. “Is there anybody else who agrees with thisproposal?” Again that painful silence. It seemed as though we sat in adream.“I’ll do it,” I said, when I couldstand the waiting no longer. “Good! Good!” said the doctorcheerfully. “Let’s take a vote here then.” All fifteen raised theirhands doubtfully. To look at our faces an outsider might reasonably havethought we were having the choice of hanging or the electric chair.（1）What is the purpose of the meeting?A . To make arrangements for the next Flower Show.B . To get people’s ideas about the next Flower Show.C . To decide whether a Flower Show would be held again.D . T o find out whether people would help with the Flower Show.（2）What was the reason for the author’s attendance?A . The school children has always taken part in the Flower Show.B . She wanted to find out what the children could do to help.C . She wanted to know what special lessons to give the children.D . The school children might do more work in the school garden.（3）Why did the author declare her support for Mr. Pringle’s proposal?A . It had become fairly clear that nobody else would.B . She was in hurry to go home.C . She was the only one really interested in the matter.D . She felt sorry for the doctor.5. 阅读理解Mapping AntarcticaAntarctica was on the map long before anyone everlaid eyes on it. Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotlebelieved that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They thoughit was needed to balance out the continents at the top of the world. In the1500s,mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita at the bottom of their maps. But it was notuntil the 1800s —after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica——that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent,which is one-and-a –half times rhe size of the U.S.While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailingaround the continent, it took airplanes-and later, satellites-to chart Antarctica’svast interior . That job continues today.And it is a job that still require a mapmaker, or cartographer, to put on bootsand head out into the wild.Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographerwith the Polar Geospatial Center , which is based at the University of Minnesotaand has a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use the company’sTrekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Inte rnet giant’s popularfeature, Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is setabout two feet above a backpack. The camera records image in all directions. “Itweighs about 50 pounds. I was out for two and a half days, hiking 10 to 12 hourseach day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.”According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educationalapps for museums.The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highlyspecialized mapmaking services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project,Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a teamof researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles.Anotherrecent project was to help recover a giant, high—tech helium balloon used to carry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere.These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they willhurt anyone when they fall back down to Earth. Using satellite images, Kelleherand colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found.Antarctica may no longer be Terra Incognita, butit still holds countless mysteries. Cartographers and the maps they make will continueto be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets.（1）From the passage, we can infer that Antarctica was on the map in the 1500s when .A . mapmakers knew it was much larger than the U.S.B . Aristotle named the continent Terra IncognitaC . no one had ever seen or been to the continentD . it was such an interesting continent as was often referred to （2）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A . It needs much work for the mapmakers to head out into the wild.B . The interior can only be mapped by planes and satellites.C . It is relatively easy to map Antarctica’s coastline by ship.D . Antarctic is a vast but still mysterious continent.（3）The Polar Geospatial Center works with Google initially .A . to capture images of Antarctica for Street ViewB . to test the company’s Trekke r technologyC . to create educational apps for museumsD . to hike for an incredible experience（4）The fourth paragraph mainly talks about .A . satellite images which are used to map huge cracks in the iceB . a high-tech helium balloon for carrying scientific instrumentsC . how to safely approach the researcher’s field camp and the balloonD . the specialized mapmaking services provided by the PGC staff6. 阅读理解A therapy-animal trend attracts the United States.The San Francisco airport uses a pig to calm tired travelers. Universities nationwidebring dogs onto campus to relieve students during finals. And thatduck on a plane? It might be an emotional-support animal prescribed by a mentalhealth professional.The trend, which has been gaining popularityhugely since its initial stirrings a few decades ago, is strengthened by a widespreadbelief that interaction with animals can reduce distress whether it happens overbelief physical contact at the airport or in long-term relationships at home. Certainlythe groups offering up pets think so, as do some mental health professionals. Butthe popular embrace of pets as furry therapists is causing growing discomfort amongsome researchers in the field, who say it has raced far ahead of scientific evidence.Earlier this year in the Journal of AppliedDevelopment Science, an introduction to articles on “animal -assistedintervention” said research into its effectiveness “remains in itsinfancy.” A recent literature review by Molly Crossman, a Yale Universitydoctoral candidate who recently wrapped up onestudy involving an 8-year-olddog named Pardner, cited a “vague body of evidence” that sometimeshas shown positive short-term effects, often found no effect and occasionallyidentified higher rates of distress.Overall, Crossman wrote, animals seem to behelpful in a “small-to-medium” way, but it’s unclear whether theanimals deserve the credit or something else is at play.“It’s a field that has been sort ofcarried forward by the beliefs of practitioners” who have seen patients’me ntal health improve after working with or adopting animals, said JamesSerpell, director of the Centre for the Interaction of Animals and Society atthe University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. “That kind ofthing has almost driven the field, and the research is playing catch-up. Inother words, people are recognizing that stories aren’t enough.”Using animals in mental health setting isnothing new. In the 17th century, a Quaker-run retreat in Englandencouraged mentally ill patients to interact with animals on its grounds.Sigmund Freud often included one of his dogs in psychoanalysis sessions. Yetthe subject did not become a research target until the American psychologistBoris Levinson began writing in the 1960s about the positive effect his dogJingles had on patients.But the evidence to date is problematic,according to Crossman’s review and others before it. Most studies had smallsample sizes, she wrote, and an “alarming numbers” did not controlfor other possible reasons for a changed stress level, such as interaction withanimal’s human handler. Studies also tendto generalize across animals, shenoted. If participants are measurably relieved by one golden retriever, thatdoesn’t mean another dog---or another species--will arouse the same response.（1）According to the passage, what makes the therapy-animal trend more popular?A . It has been in existence for no less than twenty years.B . Mental health professionals have managed to cure patients with animals.C . It is widely assumed that staying with animals can make people happier.D . There is much related research to show that animals do good to some patients.（2）Molly Crossman is quoted in the passage toA . illustrate more scientific evidence is needed that animals are effective therapists.B . hig hlight the importance of practitioners’ beliefs in the field of animal therapies.C . question Srepell’s view that animals deserve the credit in helping patients.D . criticize people for their taking human-animal stories too seriously.（3）What can be inferred from the passage?A . Animal-assisted intervention turns out to be of more use than people think.B . It is hard to see how many reasons there are for people to benefit from animals.C . Research findings relating to one breed of dogs may not apply to another breed.D . Small sample sizes can sometimes produce reliable effects in human-animal studies（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A . More evidence found for dog-human relationshipB . Potential effectsdogs have on patientsC . Therapeutic animal: nothing newD . Good dog, good therapist?四、任务型阅读7. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank witha proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note thatthere are two more sentences than you need.Acid rainis now a familiar problem in the industrialized countries in Europe. Harmful gaseslike Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are produced by power stations and cars.________Acid rainis also capable of dissolving some rocks and buildings made of soft rock, such aslimestone, are particularly badly affected. The acid rain attacks the rock, andso carvings and statues are worn away more quickly.________According to a report in theScientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins Mexico.The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza, Tulum and Palenque arewearing away very quickly indeed. These sites are the remains of the buildings builtby the Mayas between 250 BC and AD900, and the spectacular ruins of civilizationare visited by thousands of tourists every year.The acid rainis said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Car exhaustgases are also a problem. Local volcanic eruption make the problem even worse. Nevertheless,with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could besolved and the rate of dissolving reduced. ________Mexico’s currentlack of funds is also partly due to oil. The country has rich oil field and a fewyears ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico was selling large quantities of oil tothe USA and earning a lot of money. The government was therefore able to borrowhuge sums of money from banks around the world, thinking they would have no problemrepaying their debts. However, the price of oil then dropped, and Mexico has beenleft owing enormous sums of money and with not enough income from oil sales to payback the loans. ________A. However, the Mexican governmentdoes not have enough money to do the work, and needs to spend what money it hason the Mexican people.B. That is enough to have causedsome of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already.C. So unless the price of rises,it is unlikely that Mexican will be able to afford to clean up the pollution andsave its Mayan ruins from destruction.D. These measures would reducethe pollution, but would not stop it completely.E. The problem, however, is nota European one.F. They dissolve in rainwater andthis makes acid rain, which damages trees, rivers and streams.五、Summary Writing8. Directions: Read the followingpassage. Summarize the main idea and the main point of the passage in no morethan 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Ellie is a psychologist,and a good one at that. Smile in a certain way, and she knows precisely what yoursmile means. She listens to what you say, processes every word, works out the meaningof your pitch, your tone, your posture, everything. She is at the top of her gamebut, according to a new study, her greatest advantage is that she is not human.When faced with tough orpotentially embarrassing questions, people often do not tell doctors what they needto hear. Yet the researchers behind Ellie, led by Jonathan Gratch at the Institutefor Creative Technologies, in Los Angeles, suspected from their years of monitoringhuman interactions with computers that people might be more willing to talk if presentedwith an avatar, that is, a virtual figure. To test this idea, they put 239 peoplein front of Ellie to have a chat with her about their lives. Half were told they would be interacting with an artificially intelligent virtual human ;the others were told that Ellie was a bit like a puppet, and was havingher strings pulled remotely by a person.Dr Gratch and his colleaguesreport that, though every participant interacted with the same avatar, their experiencesdiffered markedly based on what they believed they were dealing with. Those whothought Ellie was under the control of a human operator reported greater fear ofdisclosing personal information, and said they managed more carefully what theyexpressed during the session, than did those who believed they were simply interactingwith a computer.六、TranslationDirections: Translate tho following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets9. 据报道这场森林大火吞噬了42条生命,摧毁了7000多幢房腿10. 我国正在全力以赴促进经济与结构调整。

While 5G is set to be used in somelimited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected toreceive widely available service until 2023.One project in Britain,however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group ofInternet users-cows. The project was developed by American technology companyCisco Systems. It also receives money from the British government. Ciscosays the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areasaround the world.Testing areas were set up atfarms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connecteddevices that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors andmachine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technologytakes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automaticgate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It thenpositions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process,machines release food for the cow as a reward.Other 5G technology toolsinclude automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up against them.Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending onthe weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always getenough to eat.Duncan Forbes, head of theproject, told Reuters that the project shows the farm’s cow operations can begreatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strongevidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farmsin Britain, but in rural communities across the world.（1）What is the purpose of Cisco Systems’ program?A . To win financial support from British government.B . To test the effects of 5G technology on animalsC . To promote its technological development in BritainD . To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.（2）What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A . The project.B . The company.C . The technology.D . The group.（3）What can we learn about 5G according to the text?A . It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed.B . It is already widely available in the world.C . It enables cows to control their own milking.D . It is based on sensors and machine learning.（4）In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A . Entertainment.B . Lifestyle.C . Education.D . Technology.4. 阅读理解Does the amount of cash in a lost walletinfluence how likely a person is to return it? Classical economic theoriessuggest that the greater the appeal, the less likely we are to be honest—but anew study turns the idea on its head, finding altruism, and a powerful hate for viewing oneself as a “thief”outweigh the financial attraction.A team of researchers conducteda huge experiment concerning 355 cities in 40 countries. More than 17,000identical wallets were dropped off at public places, each containing a grocerylist, a key, and three business cards in the local language using made-up namesand an email address. Some had no money while others contained the equivalent of$13.45.According to the research,people on average returned 40% of walletswith no money in them but 51%withmoney. It also shows extreme differences between countries. But although ratesof people’s honesty varied greatly from country to country, one thing remainedremarkably constant: wallets with money, as opposed to no money, raisedreporting rates.In the US, the UK and Poland,they repeated the experiment with even more money: $94.15, which increasedreporting rates by an average of 11% compared to the smaller amount. They alsofound that having a key expanded reporting rates by 9.2%.The findings, which runcounter to a fundamental principle of classical economics, suggest honesty,altruism and self-image can sometimes be more influential than economicself-interest.A purely economic approach tobehavior suggests people would keep the wallets with the larger amounts ofmoney due to the increased financial reward, but economics often doesn’taccount for a person’s sense of honesty or self-image, according to behavioralscientists. Altruism also influenced the findings, the researchers say. Sincethe key is valuable to the owner but not the finder, this pointed toward analtruism concern in addition to the cost of negatively updating one’s selfimage.（1）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A . Introduce a new topic for discussion.B . Add some background information.C . Describe a widely conducted experiment.D . Provide the research results for the readers.（2）What’s the average reporting r ate of a wallet with $94.15 inside?A . 11%.B . 20.2%.C . 51%.D . 62%.（3）What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in Paragraph 5 mean?A . Go against.B . Account for.C . Agree with.D . Focus on.（4）What’s the main idea of the text?A . Classical economic theories have already been out of date.B . People are more likely to return a lost wallet with more cash.C . An experiment conducted worldwide proves people’s altruism.D .

A good way to help renew tired houseplants is by giving them a plant “haircut.〞 This helps with shaping, removing dead matter, and keeping the plants from drooping. This is also a way to start new plants. You can take the cuttings and grow new plants.A houseplant’s diet is important. So is the timing of when you give them nutrients for growth. Fertilize in late winter as days get longer and plants need fertilizer to put on growth during spring. And do not forget to dust. If they are covered with dust, the process of their gaining energy would be slowed. Watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing houseplants. Plants lose oxygen when they are over watered. Check to see if your plants’roots are overgrown in the bottomof the pot. That means you should re-pot the plant in a new, larger pot. But be sure the pots have holes cut in the bottoms so that extra water can get out.。
