2019-2020上海市高三下英语开学摸底测试I.Listening Comprehension（略）II.Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Brain implant lets man with paralysis move and feel with his hand.A brain implant has restored movement and a sense of touch in the hand of a man with a severe spinal cord injury.Patrick Ganzer at Battelle Memorial Institute in the US and his colleagues have developed a brain-computer interface(BCI)that(21)______(allow)28-year-old Ian Burkhart to grasp and feel objects again.Burkhart has a severe upper spinal cord injury and has complete paralysis in his hands and legs,(22)______ can move his elbows and shoulders.He had a brain implant inserted in2014as part of research aiming to restore movement in(23)______right arm.The BCI uses the implant(24)______(record)brain activity that is sent to a processor that decodes these signals into movements,which in turn feed in to bands around the forearm which electrically activate his hand muscles.“We’ve made a lot of progress in the last six years:he can play[the video game]Guitar Hero,swipe a credit card and do about20different hand grips,”says Ganzer.But because Burkhart had no sensation in his hands,he previously had no sense of touch or pressure when(25) ______(grasp)objects,and if blindfolded,was not able to detect small objects such as a pencil.The researchers discovered that(26)______Burkhart’s hand cannot feel anything,the brain implant stills registers a faint sensory signal when he touches an object.They boosted this signal by incorporating a band around the bicep which vibrates when Burkhart’s hand receives sensory information.As a result,Burkhart is able to detect objects by touch alone.The BCI is also able to detect different levels of touch and adjust the strength of Burkhart’s hand movements depending on the object–a light grasp,for example, for a paper cup.The researchers believe it is the first BCI(27)______can simultaneously restore movement and touch.When the brain implant was inserted,it(28)______(intend)solely for controlling movement,but the(29)______(add) touch is possible because there is some overlap(30)______the sensory and motor areas in Burkhart’s brain,says Ganzer.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.consistedposingC.measuresD.accountE.patternsF.limitationsG.moderately H.progressed I.distribution J.significantly plementAI can distinguish between bots and humans based on Twitter activityArtificial intelligence is being used to spot the difference between human users and fake accounts on Twitter.Emilio Ferrara at the University of Southern California in the US,and his colleagues have trained an AI to detect bots on Twitter based on differences in(31)______of activity between real and fake accounts.The team analysed two separate datasets of Twitter users,which had been classified either manually or by a pre-existing algorithm as either bot or human.The manually verified dataset(32)______of8.4million tweets from3500human accounts,and3.4million tweets from5000bots.The researchers found that human users replied four to five times more often to other tweets than bots did. Real users gradually become more interactive,with the fraction of replies increasing over the course of an hour-long session of Twitter use.The length of tweets by human users also decreased as sessions(33)______.“The amount of information that is exchanged diminishes,”says Ferrara.He believes that the change may result from a cognitive depletion over time, in which people become less likely to expend mental effort(34)______original content.Bots,on the other hand,show no changes in their interactivity or the length of information they tweet over time.The team also analysed the amount of time between any two consecutive(连读的)tweets from a single user. When this(35)______is plotted,bots showed spikes for certain time gaps,such as tweeting at30-minute or 60-minute intervals.The team then combined these(36)______to train an existing bot-detection algorithm,called Botometer,on the difference in activity patterns.The AI was(37)______more likely to accurately detect to fake accounts than when it was not taking into(38)______the timing of posts.The algorithm could be used to(39)______other bot-detection tools that analyse the language within posts, says Ferrara.One of the study’s(40)______is that the Twitter data the team analysed is from three years ago.In that time, it’s possible that bots have become more human-like in their activity patterns.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It was“college colors”day at an elementary school in Altamonte Springs,Florida,on August30.One of Laura Snyder’s fourth-grade students Billy wore an orange T-shirt(41)______his favourite school,the University of Tennessee.Billy was so excited to show Snyder his shirt.She was(42)______that he took it one step further to make his own label and he drew his own UT logo with pen and paper and(43)______it to his shirt.But after lunch,Billy came back to Snyder’s room crying.Some girls at the lunch table next to Billy’s had made fun of the(44)______on his shirt.Billy was depressed.Snyder knew kids can be(45)______.She was aware that the label was not the fanciest one,but this kid used the resources he had(46)______to him to participate in the activity.In an effort to(47)______him up,Snyder planned to buy him a University of Tennessee shirt.She asked on the Facebook if anyone out there had any(48)______at the university to make it a little extra special for Billy.What happened next completely(49)______her.Her post spread rapidly on Facebook,eventually reaching University of Tennessee fans and then the university itself.The university(50)______by sending Billy a package of UT souvenirs for him and his classmates.“I’m not even sure I can put into words his(51)______.It was so heart-warming,”Snyder wrote in an(52) ______to her post.“Billy was so amazed at all the goodies in the box.He proudly put on the jersey(运动衫)and one of the many hats in the box.All who saw applauded for him.”But then things got even better.The university’s official shop(53)______on September5that it decided to take Billy’s handmade logo and turn it into an actual shirt.And some of the money will be donated to an anti-bullying(反欺凌)organization.“When I told him that his design was being made into a real shirt and people wanted to wear it,his jaw(54) ______,”Snyder wrote.“He had a big smile on his face,walked taller,and I could tell his(55)______grew today! Thank you to the UT Nation for that!”Billy’s mother wrote a letter of gratitude that Snyder posted.It said,in part,“I can tell you that I spent a lot of my day reading all the kind words in support of my son and I’m touched beyond words,”she wrote.41.A.appreciating B.representing C.admiring D.picturing42.A.reminded B.convinced C.impressed D.satisfied43.A.attached B.wore C.turned D.printed44.A.brand B.sign C.colour D.sample45.A.strange B.stupid C.cruel D.selfish46.A.sustainable B.typical C.available D.convenient47.A.cheer B.trip C.team D.pick48.A.exchange B.contact C.suggestion D.knowledge49.A.froze B.posed C.blinded D.floored50.A.acknowledged B.greeted C.responded D.permitted51.A.reaction B.improvement C.behaviour D.attitude52.A.email B.address C.interview D.update53.A.advertised B.explained C.promised D.announced54.A.changed B.dropped C.ached D.closed55.A.confidence B.expectation C.responsibility D.reputationSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AIn2012,James Cameron,creator of Avatar and Titanic,became the first person to reach the Challenger Deep. When he arrived at the deepest spot on Earth at7miles below sea level,he spent hours mapping the region and taking photos and samples.“As human beings,we’re drawn to absolutes—the deepest,the highest,the coldest,the farthest,”he says.“And as a storyteller and curious monkey,I just wanted to see what was there.”The answer is obvious—plastic and more.“Our so-called civilization is using the ocean as its toilet,”Cameron says.“Unless this changes,ocean ecosystems are going to continue their rapid collapse.”Despite decades of environmental studies,the impact of plastic and other forms of pollution on oceans are not entirely understood.Initial studies appear to indicate that ingesting them—either directly or indirectly—could cause disease.Plastics can also release poisonous substances into the water,which could potentially impact animal populations.But plastic is just one of the problems facing oceans that have yet to be fully understood.“Plastic waste in the ocean is horrifying but is only the most obvious of our many deadly waste streams,which include carbon that’s heating the atmosphere and making the ocean acidic,and the run-off nutrients from all the world’s agriculture, which is causing anoxic(缺氧的)dead zones the size of countries,”Cameron says.Oceans,like the rest of the world,are impacted by the burning of fossil fuels and the release of greenhousegases like carbon dioxide—about30percent of which is absorbed by the sea.This absorption causes ocean acidification,where the pH level is altered to become more acidic.As a result,it’s harder for some creatures to form shells and skeletons and countless species at the base of the food web can struggle to survive,which,scientists say, has the potential to cause huge disruptions to entire ecosystems.Indeed,ocean acidification is thought to have played an important role in Earth’s worst-ever mass extinction event252million years ago.The effect of climate change on the world’s oceans will likely worsen in coming st June,scientists announced carbon dioxide levels had reached the highest levels since human records began.The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high was during the Pliocene era,between3and5million years ago,when global temperatures were about4degrees Celsius warmer than they are today.Current climate models suggest that if greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current trend,we may be on course to see4degrees of warming by 2100.As a result,understanding the role oceans have on global systems is becoming more and more important.56.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A.The author’s feelings to the ocean.B.Cameron’s movies and remarks.C.The author’s discoveries under the sea.D.Cameron’s observation and concern.57.What can we infer from the passage?A.Several countries are suffering from anoxic dead zones.B.More concern should have been given to the pollution on oceans.C.Plastic is supposed to be the most serious environmental problem.D.Ocean acidification removes the nutrients from agricultural products.58.What does the underlined word“disruptions”in Paragraph5probably mean?A.Decreases.B.Destruction.C.Diseases.D.Discrimination.59.Why does the author mention the mass extinction event252million years ago?A.To call on people to protect sea animals.B.To compare current situations with the past.C.To explain how serious the ocean problem is.D.To prove pollution to be the cause ofacidification.Enjoy an amazing time in Lake Tahoe,CA with the fantastic show,Magic

our classrooms.Whether it’s a K-12or college classroom,it’s rare to find an environment that does not integrate technology in some form or another.In some cases,online learning has replaced the physical classroom altogether.As educators,we owe it to ourselves and our students to use these benefits.However,while technology offers significant advantages,simply integrating it as an alternative source of delivery or as another means for students to demonstrate their comprehension is not an effective practice.We must remind ourselves that any form of learning technology should also be guided.These resources are just instruments and require high-quality guided practice from instructors.These instruments,combined with guidance,can afford good instruction,practice and motivation.While technology can positively impact learning outcomes,it may be even more effective for some students if it’s instructor-led and integrated into a well-designed curriculum.Technology is rapidly changing the educational environment and challenging students to adapt accordingly.It can frustrate students of different generations struggling to learn how to use a learning platform in addition to picking up the actual subject.Some may wonder,“Why should I waste time learning how to create a podcast(播客) when I could simply write the paper?”It’s a reasonable question.We must not assume students who were raised using technology are always comfortable learning with these tools.A study found that because of tools some students may not have experience using,they may need more direction on how to apply these tools.Students may struggle if an instructor neglects to teach the conceptual basis of the tools.Technology may mean little without appropriate objectives and goals for its use,structures for its application,and trained deliverers.Educators are also tasked with providing students the skills they need to flourish in a highly competitive and technologically-based workplace.Many of the skills obtained through online classes are valuable professional skills. Students taught how to use multiple learning technologies effectively have a competitive advantage over those who are simply using technology as a method of delivery in the online classroom.Regardless of the subjects we teach, integrating technology gives our students the opportunity to not only learn the content,but also to develop skills useful beyond our classrooms.Technology,when integrated and balanced appropriately with the curriculum and with student needs,can make us more effective as educators.63.What is important to the learning technology?A.Instruction and revision.prehension and application.C.Guidance and arrangements.D.Diversity and flexibility.64.According to the passage,what should an educator do?A.Arrange online assignment for students.B.Help students master online technology.C.Prepare students with rules in the workplace.D.Notify students of the value of the learning tool.65.What’s the author’s attitude toward learning technology?A.Critical.B.Unconcerned.C.Wait-and-see.D.Approving.66.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Does Technology Boost Educational Effectiveness?B.Is the Learning Technology a Tool or an Opportunity?C.Can Technology Put an End to Traditional Classrooms?D.Does the Learning Skill Outweigh the Learning Content?Section CDirections:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It lists details like the name of writer and publication.B.But doing research on the Internet is not without its risks.C.This is because it is so easy to find and copy information online.D.In addition to dishonesty,plagiarism is a lost opportunity for students.E.To avoid unintended plagiarizing,managing your sources becomes important.F.If you use ideas from other writers without quoting from the original work,you’re plagiarizing.The Internet is the largest library in the history of the world and a great resource for anyone seeking information.(67)______In recent years,plagiarism from online sources has become a serious problem,especially among students.Original written work and information are protected by copyright laws.Therefore,when you use information you find while doing research,you should always give credit to the person that produced it.To plagiarize is to use ideas that are not your own without giving credit to the original source,or to claim that someone else’s ideas are your own.This is a dishonest practice.Internet-related plagiarism has become such a problem.(68)______There are thousands of resources forstudents who wish only to copy or cheat.However,the Internet also makes it easier for educators to check for plagiarism.Often a simple Internet search for a quote will be enough to expose copying.Some educators are more concerned about unintended plagiarism.Because copying and pasting(粘贴)is so easy,it is becoming more and more common for well-meaning students to mix up source material with their original ideas.While unintended plagiarism usually happens innocently,it is still a mistake.(69)______Usually,the first step of researching is to gather information.You’d better keep a computer document named“References”where you can keep useful information you search on the Internet.Copy and paste the material directly from the document.When you print out parts of the article from the document,print the first page of the article.(70)______These will help you remember the source of the information.Then print pages that have the information you need.After you finish your assignment,in the same way that you review your work for clarity and mistakes,you need to check that you have matched the quoted information with the correct source. Following these tips,you will avoid mixing up source material with your ideas.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible."It is important for us to understand that the computing platforms of today will not be able to sustain at-scale implementations of AI algorithms on massive datasets,"said Thirumalai Venkatesan,one of the authors of a paper published in Applied Physics Reviews,from AIP Publishing."Today's computing is way too energy-intensive to handle big data.We need to rethink our approaches to computation on all levels:materials,devices and architecture that can enable ultralow energy computing."Brain-inspired electronics with organic memristors could offer a functionally promising and cost-effective platform,according to Venkatesan.Memristive devices are electronic devices with an inherent memory that are capable of both storing data and performing computation.Since memristors are functionally analogous to the operation of neurons,the computing units in the brain,they are optimal candidates for brain-inspired computing platforms.Until now,oxides have been the leading candidate as the optimum material for memristors.Different material systems have been proposed but none have been successful so far."Over the last20years,there have been several attempts to come up with organic memristors,but none of those have shown any promise,"said Sreetosh Goswami,lead author on the paper."The primary reason behind this failure is their lack of stability,reproducibility and ambiguity in mechanistic understanding.At a device level,we are now able to solve most of these problems,"This new generation of organic memristors is developed based on metal azo complex devices,which are the brainchild of Sreebata Goswami,a professor at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in Kolkata and another author on the paper."In thin films,the molecules are so robust and stable that these devices can eventually be the right choice for many wearable and implantable technologies or a body net,because these could be bendable and stretchable,"said Sreebata Goswami.A body net is a series of wireless sensors that stick to the skin and track health.The next challenge will be to produce these organic memristors at scale,said Venkatesan."Now we are making individual devices in the laboratory.We need to make circuits for large-scale functional implementation of these devices."V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.你可以通过特殊的练习来发展自律，你可以在任何时间和任何地点练习。

AOne evening last fall, while Marcos Ugarte did his homework and his father, Eduardo, a teacher, prepared lesson plans, they heard yelling outside. Eduardo, 47, and Marcos, 15, stepped onto the balcony of their two-story contemporary home and saw a motion (喧闹) four doors down, outside the home of one of their neighbors, the Ma family. “ I didn’t think anything was wrong,” Eduardo recalls. “I told Marcos we should give them some privacy.” But Marcos’s eye was caught by a flame from the Mas’ house.“Dad, the house is on fire!” Marcos cried. Dressed only in shorts, the barefoot teen rushed towards the Mas’home with his dad. On the front lawn stood the Mas’s families, yelling for help. When they got there, they saw father Alex Ma was walking slowly down the stairs, coughing , his face black with smoke.“Is anyone else in the house?” Eduardo asked.“My son !”Alex managed to say, pointing to the second floor.Eduardo started up the stairs, but thick, black smoke and extreme heat forced him to his knees. So he crawled upstairs and down the hall where Alex said he could find Cody, eight , who had locked himself in a bedroom. “I’d never seen smoke like that,”says Eduardo. “My glasses immediately turned black from the ash.”As the fire was violent across the hall, Eduardo banged on the bedroom door and tried to turn the doorknob (门把手), But Cody didn’t response, and Eduardo made his way back downstairs. At the same time, Marcos saw Yim and Suzanne pulling a ladder out of the garage. “Cody was standing at the window, screaming for help,” says Marcos.“ I knew I had to do something.” Immediately he grasped the ladder, positioned it near the window, and climbed toward the boy. When Marcos reached the window, he pushed the screen into the room and succeeded in persuading Cody to e out with him. Holding Cody with one arm , Marcos got down the ladder. Halfway, he handed the boy to a neighbor.When firefighters arrived a few minutes later, plumes of smoke were rising from the back of the house as flames swallowed the second floor. Emergency personnel took Cody to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for smoke inhalation (吸入) and released. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.“You just don’t see a teenager have that kind of courage,” says Mark Maunder, Gresham Fire Department battalion chief. The day after the fire, Alex visited Marcos, “Thank you for saving my son,”Alex said . “You are our hero forever.”1. What occurred to Eduardo when he saw the motion at first?A. They should let it be.B. Something terrible must have happened.C. Someone was in great need of help. C. Someone was making trouble.2.

Orange CountyCEach year, we are exposed to ten thousand ads on average. They try to sell us their products by using beautiful art, videos, images or slogans that are catchy. The most famous panies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody. For those of you who have seen the movie Finding Forrester, there is a scene where Jamal walks up to some guy with a BMW and asks him what the car logo means. The man does not know the answer and since that day, whenever I see a famous pany logo I try to find the meaning of it.Many think the horse on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. The story behind it is far more interesting. During World War Ⅰ, a pilot, Count Francesco Barraca, painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck. He had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron (空军中队). Barraca’s mother then conv inced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930’s to bring good luck to the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever since. The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari.Starbucks started in 1971, in Seattle. The mermaid (美人鱼) represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female, the only difference being that they have a tail of a fish. The reason why Starbucks incorporated one in their pany logo is that it was believed mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships, and tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade. So the mermaid in the logo of Starbucks is the one that “brings” coffee and tea to the stores.8. The writer became interested in logos of some famous brands after ________.A. he saw a scene in a movieB. he heard about an attractive movieC. he walked up to some guy with a BMWD. he noticed some famous logos9. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. The logo of Starbucks is believed to make the business be tter.B. Hearing mermaids sing, sailors would know the right directi on.C. Mermai is a creature of a male with a tail.D. Starbucks was once a pany trading spices, tea and coffee.10. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that ________.A. Barraca once served in the navyB. Barraca took part in car racingC. Enzo Ferrari liked horses very muchD. Enzo Ferrari owned a car pany11. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. abandonedB. includedC. correctedD. createdDImagine shopping for clothes online and being able to run your hand across the screen on your puter to feel the fabrics. That kind of technology could be available within the next five years.“We are talking about reinventing the way the puters operate and you interact with them as humans,” says IBM Vice President Bernie Meyerson. Extending sense of touch is one of five innovations （创新）that IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the pany’s annual “ five in five list”.Smart machines will also soon be able to listen to the environment and highlight （使……显著）the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced s peech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. “From the sound the baby is creating, that particular frequency in the voice of the child, you know the difference between a child, for instance, who is sick as opposed to a child who is just lonely.”In the near future, personal puters will be able to do more than recognizeimages and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos.Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze on your puter or cell phone, tiny sensors built in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules（分子）in your breath. Then it can tell you whether you need to see a doctor.IBM scientists are also developing a system which can examine and bine flavors to be used by chefs to create recipes. It breaks down ingredients to their molecular level and blends （调和）them to create the most popular flavors and smells.One of the most impressive things about the IBM list, says Georgetown University puter science professor Mark Maloof, is how powerful these tiny, smart devices are being. Maloof hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a role in future innovations.12. The author mentions the example of baby’s crying to ________.A.pare whether a child is ill or lonelyB.show various reasons for baby’s cryingC.teach new parents how to raise their childrenD.explain the sound-analyzing of the system13.Which of the following about new technologies is not true?A.They help identify medical conditions.B.They prevent people from getting sick.C.They can sort family photos among media.D.They create the most popular flavors and smell.14.Maloof believes that the IBM list will ________.A.warn students of the dangers of the InternetB.encourage students to invent voice systemC.lead more students to create future inventionsD.advocate students to use puters frequently15.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Future puters Will Extend Our SenseB.Shopping Online in the FutureC.puters Will See and Hear Better in the FutureD.Science Fiction Will Bee a Part of Our Everyday Life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。

ADesign your own adventure spent at IZE’s Blue Creek Field Station by choosing two activities per day from the list below.Short Cave Hike:2-hour activity where you will be exposed to the ultimate tropical rainforest experience.At every turn along the trail,a novel experience awaits.Perhaps it’s a trail of leaf cutter ants or a delicate tree snake.You will follow your Maya Guides up a steep incline(斜坡)to the entrance of one of the most spectacular limestone caves in Belize.Ethnobotany Walk:3-hour activity where you will explore the medical and cookery uses of the local herbs,plants and trees.The Mayans were masters in using the jungle’s natural resources for theirmedical needs.You will learn about the vines（藤蔓）that store drinking water and other remarkable remedies(疗法)that nature offers.You will get a first-hand look at the crops the Maya harvest such as cocoa,mango,rice,beans,etc.Hokeb Ha Cave Hike:Spend time in one of the most spectacular limestone caves in Belize.The name of this cave means“where the water enters the earth.”Stalactites(钟乳石)hang from the ceiling, and colonies of bats live in the darkest gaps.You can also search for Mayan artifacts over1，000years old.Lizard Hike:2-4hour activity where you will swim and hike along the clear blue river as you look for lizards in the tall trees.Can you identify which species？Is it the spectacular dinosaur that looks like green lizards?Belize is home to many of the3,800species of lizards in the world!21.During the short Cave Hike,you______.A.will be lost in the tropical forestB.may enjoy unexpected views on the wayC.can be bitten by the tree snakes occasionallyD.need to follow the track of ants in the forests22.What activity can improve your skills of living in the wild?A.Ethnobotany Walk.B.Short Cave Hike.C.Lizard Hike.D.Hokeb Ha Cave Hike.23.We can infer that Hokeb Ha Cave might be______.A.the source of the water on the EarthB.the habitat of bats in BelizeC.the entrance to the earthD.home to ancient MayansBShe Walked Through FireOn Thanksgiving weekend,the H effelmire family gathered for a meal at their home.After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father,Eric,who was in thegarage to fix his truck.Around8pm,Charlotte decided to check on her dad.She walked through the kitchen.When she opened the side door to the garage,black smoke rose up into the kitchen.She could barely make out her father lying on his back,trapped under the truck.He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack(千斤顶).The truck had slipped off the jack,and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders.Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it.Eric was still conscious,and he yelled,“You got it!One more try!”She tried again and was able to tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck.She dragged him across the garage and20feet down the driveway.Then she ran back to the garage,which had burst into flames.“I was afraid the car was going to explode,”says Charlotte,so she climbed into the truck,which faced forward,turned the key,and pressed the gas pedal(油门).The car slowly rolled out,the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete.Safely on the driveway,Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement.“There’s a fire! Everybody get out!”she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out.Outside,she handed the baby to her mom,and then ran around to the burning garage.She picked up a garden hose(水管)and sprayed the fire while calling911.A few minutes later,firefighters and an ambulance arrived.Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face.Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders,as well as minor burns on his face.The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived.The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt.“Charlotte is a remarkable kid,”says her dad.Charlotte,however,simply says,“I was saving my family and my house.I wasn’t going to let my dad die.”24.Eric got trapped because______.A.the kitchen was on fireB.the wheel fell off the truckC.the front tyre was removedD.the truck slipped off the jack25.Which of the following is the correct order of the events?a.Charlotte called the firefighters.b.Charlotte saved Eric from under the truck.c.Charlotte drove the truck out of the garage.d.Charlotte warned the family to leave the house.A.b,c,a,dB.a,b,d,cC.a,c,b,dD.b,c,d,a26.As a result of the fire,______.A.the truck explodedB.the house was not fit to live inC.the three-month-old baby was injuredD.Charlotte was burned on her chest and shoulders27.It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte is______.A.proud and clear-headedB.modest and easy-goingC.calm and quick-mindedD.independent and self-centredCAlmost everyone agrees on the hot dog basics:a long bread roll with a hot sausage inside it.And that’s what has led to a big question—is a hot dog a sandwich,or is it in a special category of its own?“People have really strong opinions on both sides,”says Eric Mittenthal,president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council(NHDSC).In November,the council published an official announcement ruling that the hot dog is not a sandwich.It argues that the hot dog is too significant to be considered“just a sandwich.”The council admits that the hot dog was once the“Frankfurter sandwich,”but says that people no longer use that name.Today,no one would call a hot dog eating contest a sandwich eating contest.But others disagree.The U.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA)includes a sausage inside abread roll in its sandwich category.But it also calls the food a“sandwich type product”.In May, dictionary publisher Merriam Webster said that the hot dog is a sandwich.The Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary,11th Edition,defines a sandwich as“two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between”or“one slice of bread covered with food”.The announcement fueled a heated debate among hot dog fans.If hot dogs are sandwiches,where do you draw the line?Are burritos(玉米馅饼)sandwiches too?This debate won’t stop Americans from eating piles of hot dogs this summer.During peak hot dog season—from Memorial Day to Labor Day—Americans will eat about7billion of them.That’s 818hot dogs consumed every second.People love hot dogs so much that in2015,a hot dog emoji was released so people can easily tweet or text an image of the famous food.This may come in handy soon, since July is National Hot Dog Month.28.Who thinks that the hot dog is special enough to be in a category of its own?DA.B.NHDSC. C.The author.D.Merriam-Webster. 29What do some hot dog fans think of the definition of a sandwich in the mentioned dictionary?A.It seems too wide.B.It is quite satisfactory.C.It is obviously too narrow.D.It is difficult to understand.30.What does the underlined word“emoji”probably mean?A.A small image used in electronic communications that symbolizes something.B.A poster used to advertise hot dogs.C.A toy given by a hot dog seller.D.A facial expression posted on a letter as a stamp.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The history of hot dogs.B.Different kinds of sandwiches.C.Do Americans really love hot dogs?D.Is a hot dog a sandwich?DMany people will be familiar with automated writing through Gmail.Smart Reply provides brief answers to routine emails.If someone asks“Do you want to meet at3pm?”,Gmail offers one-click responses such as“Sure!”The New Yorker’s John Seabrook recently described a more powerful version of this technology, called GPT-2,which can ably mimic(模拟)his magazine’s style.Such systems use a digital network of billions of artificial“neurons”(神经元)with virtual“synapses”—the connections between neurons—that strengthen as the network“learns”,in this case from40gigabytes（千兆字节）—worth of online writing.The version Mr.Seabrook tested was polished with back-issues of the New Yorker.The metaphor of the brain is attractive,but“neurons”and“synapses”deserve those scare-quotes (双引号).The system is merely making some—admittedly very complex—statistical guesses about which words follow which in a New Yorker-style sentence.What escapes computers is creativity.They cannot create a topic or goal on their own,much less plan how to get there with logic and style.At various points in the online version of his article,readers can see how GPT-2would have carried on writing Mr.Seabrook’s piece for him.The writing gives the impression of being human.But on closer inspection it is empty,even incoherent.Meaningless writing is the preserve of artificial intelligence.But to truly write,you must first have something to puters do not.They await instructions.To compose meaningful essays,the likes of GPT-2will first have to be integrated with databases of real-world knowledge.32.Why does the author mention Gmail in the first paragraph?A.To prepare for the introduction of the topic.B.To advertise the powerful Gmail.C.To describe the feature of Gmail.D.To prove the strength of the Gmail.33.In what way is GPT-2more powerful than Gmail?A.It is creative.B.It has neurons with synapses.C.It can offer quick answers.D.It can follow a certain writing style.34.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.GPT-2is powerful because it is integrated to real-world knowledge.B.GPT-2has already been able to write meaningful essays.C.GPT-2still has a long way to write like humans.D.GPT-2can help Mr.Seabrook with writing very well.35.Where is the passage taken from?A.A brochure.B.An advertisement.C.A magazine.D.An essay.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。

Besides, fashion magazines have almost 52______ the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous 53______. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market pote ntial, moving from advertising for others’ products to 54_______ their own.Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a 55_______ new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and 56_______ a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top57______. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with 58______ personal style. As celebrities bee more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, 59_______ almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, there’s a related 60______ tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s 61_______ is, if it fai ls to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And 62______ the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty(忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to 63_____ a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. 64______, the ego’s(自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand.

A. stars B. models C. designers D. advertisersCABDB CABDB ACDACSection BAOn my arrival in America, the one thing I notice more than anything else was the tremendous amount of advertising that went on-on the radio, on television, on billboards and signposts, and in magazines. In the past three years, I have bee accustomed to this fast in American life, for I believe that it is a creative and necessary part of an industrial society. I, too, want to improve my life-style and to buy better products, so I look to advertising to show me how to do it.Deciding what to believe in advertising, however, is not easy. It seems to me that a person must purchase things with a lot of care. As a consumer, I want to get the best for my money, but I really have to understand the techniques of advertising. Otherwise, manufacturers will be able to sell me anything, no matter what its quality may be.More and more people are being conscious, like me, of the ways in which advertising can affect them. The creative aspects of mercials, for instance, often cover up defects or problem in products. I have learned this well, since I have made purchases and lost money because the items were of poor quality.The future of advertising most likely will involve a much greater degree of public participation. I intend to bee involved in consumer groups that want to protect people from misleading advertising. In the future, if consumers like me really care about the quality, maybe advertisers will begin to care more about what they are trying to sell.66. According to passage, we know that the author______.A. left America three years agoB. arrived in America two years agoC. often goes to AmericaD. has always lived in America67. Advertisements in America can not found ______.A. on the radios and televisionB. on billboardsC. in magazinesD. in textbooks68. Misleading advertisements can_______.A. cover up product defectsB. improve people’s life-styleC. show the customers how to buy products of good qualityD. solve problems in products69. We learn from the passage that_______A. the author wants to get the best for his money when buying thingsB. if customers don’t understand the techniques of advertising，they will probably becheated by the manufacturersC. in the future，advertising will most likely lead to the participation of more peopleD. all of the aboveBDAD(B)Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists bee acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291” of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of 192-13 in New York, in which the works of a number of progressive American painters were shown.Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscapes, especially New York, an appealing subject. pared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel ” of the “Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the rational tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In Cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubism abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same time.70. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?A. The parison between various painters.B. The greatest breakthroughs of the Armory Show.C. The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery.D. The modern art movement in the United States.71. What was the most important in the spread of modern movements in the US?A. The photographer Alfred Stiegliz.B. The famous New York gallery 219.C. The Armory Show of1913 in New York.D. The exhibitions of art in Europe.72. In what aspect did New York attract the modernists?A. The exhibitions in shows.B. The appearance of the city.C. The feel of the city.D. The galleries of modern art.73. What great breakthrough brought about a significant revolution in Western painting?A. Cubism.B. The Ash Can School.C. The Armory Show.D. Modernism.D C C A(C)Crows are probably the most frequently met and easily identifiable members of the native fauna of the United States. The great number of tales, legends, and myths about these birds indicates that people have been exceptionally interested in them for a long time. On the other hand, when it es to substantive —particularly behavioral —information, crows are less well known than many parably mon species and, for that matter, not a few quite unmon ones: the endangered California condor, to cite one obvious example. There are practical reasons for this.Crows are notoriously poor and aggravating subjects for field research. Keen observers and quick learners, they are astute about the intentions of other creatures, including researchers, and adept at avoiding them. Because they are so numerous, active, and monochromatic, it is difficult to distinguish one crow from another. Bands, radio transmitters, or other identifying devices can be attached to them, but this of course requires catching live crows, who are among the wariest and most untrappable of birds.Technical difficulties aside, crow research is daunting because the ways of these birds are so plex and various. As preeminent is generalists, members of this species ingeniously exploit a great range of habitats and resources, and they can quickly adjust to changes in their circumstances. Being so educable, individual birds have markedly different interests and inclinations, strategies and scams. For example, one pet crow learned how to let a dog out of its kennel by pulling the pin on the door. When the dog escaped, the bird went into the kennel and ate its food.74. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The ways in which crows differ from other mon birdsB. The myths and legends about crowsC. The characteristics that make crows difficult to studyD. The existing methods for investigating crow behavior75. According to the first paragraph, what evidence is there that crows have interested people fora long time?A. The large number of stories about crows.B. The frequency with which crows are sightedC. The amount of research that has been conducted on crowsD. The ease with which crows are identified76. According to the second paragraph, crows are poor subjects for field research for all of thefollowing reasons EXCEPTA. They can successfully avoid observers.B. They are hard to distinguish from one anotherC. They can be quite aggressive.D. They are difficult to catch.77.Which of the statements is supported by the passage?A. Crows have relatively long lives.B. Crows have keen vision.C. Crows are usually solitary.D. Crows are very intelligent.CACDSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States. In her life time she earned her country’s most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature.Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life.Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became, as she described herself, “mentally bifocal”. Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer, and a humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is a captivating subject of study.78.Why Pearl Buck was able to write extensively about a very different culture such as the East was partly because___________________________________________________.She was born in America and lived in China.79.One of the reasons for her being so famous of her time was______________________.That she earned the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize.80.How many types of books did she get published?

AA person, like a modity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a modity, but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, es and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the pany of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a modity sets up its brand by the right packaging.1. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification2. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive3. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealth4. The underlined sentence means that elderly people ______.A. are usually packaged like a finely-made bookB. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of lifeC. do a lot of traveling and can give you much informationD. enjoy reading thick books about beautiful nature and fairylandBIn English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound. So people say /rait/ but spell it right or write, or even rite. binations of letters may be pronounced in many ways. And some words just seem to have too many letters.For Americans things are a little bit easier, thanks to the work of Noah Webster, a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778. As a young man, he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence, and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look.So he began his work on American English. His first book, The Elementary Spelling Book, suggested simplifying the spelling of English words. The book was extremely popular. By the 1850s, it was selling one million copies a year, making it one of the most popular school books ever.Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted. Center instead of centre, program instead of programme, and flavor instead of flavour. Others, however, such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine, were not .Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language,which first appeared in 1828. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation and use, and, of course, the new spelling. The British criticized the dictionary, but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States. Today, Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students.5. What is the text mainly about?A. Webster and his best sellers.B. British and American English.C. The history of American English.D. The man who made spelling simple.6. Which is the right order according to the text?①Webster graduated from Yale University.②American Dictionary of the English language came out.③Webster's book was selling one million copies a year.④Webster took part in the American War of Independence.A. ②①③④B. ③①②④C. ④①③②D. ①②③④7. What can we learn from the text?A. All the spelling of words does not represent the sound.B. The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the 1850s.C. Webster's suggestions were accepted pletely.D. Webster's dictionary is the best all over the world.8. What attitude do the British have towards Webster's dictionary?A. They thought highly of it.B. They found fault with it.C. They argued bitterly about it.D. They followed the examples of it.CMore than a century ago, the poser and bandleader John Philip Sousa warned that technology would destroy music, who said, “These talking machines are going to ruin the artistic development of music in this country. When I was a boy … in front of every house in the summer evenings you would find young people together singing the songs of the day or the old songs. Today you hear these terrible machines going night and day. We will not have a vocal cord (声带) left.”Music has greatly changed in the past hundred years, which has been everywhere in our world: rivers of digital melody flow on the Internet or on disc; MP3 players with forty thousand songs can be put in a back pocket or a purse. Yet, for most of us, music is no longer something we do ourselves, or even watch other people do in front of us. It has bee a radically virtual medium, an art without a face.Ever since Edison invented the phonograph cylinder(留声机), people have been assessing what the medium of recording has done for and to the art of music. Sousa was a spokesman for the party of doom; in the opposite corner are the utopians(乌托邦), who argue that technology has not imprisoned music but liberated it. Before Edison came along, Beethoven’s symphonies could be heard only in select concert halls. Now the recordings carry the man from Bonn to the corners of the earth. Glenn Gould, after renouncing live performance in 1964, predicted that within the century the public concert would disappear into the electronic air.Having discovered much of my favorite music through LPs and CDs, I am not about to join Sousa’s party. Modern urban environments are often so soulless or ugly that I’m grateful for the humanizing touch of electronic sound. But neither can I accept Gould’s slashing futurism. I want to be aware of technology’s effects, positive and negative. Fortunately, scholars and critics have been methodically exploring this terrain for many decades, trying to figure out exactly what happens when we listen to music with no musicians in the room.9. The first paragraph is intended to .A. defend an argumentB. make a predictionC. criticize an attitudeD. summarized a viewpoint10. The author’s attitude towards the recorded music may best be described as .A. dissatisfiedB. defensiveC. optimisticD. objective11. The underlined word “terrain” in the last paragraph most nearly means .A. regionB. subjectC. landD. distinction12. The primary purpose of the passage is to .A. explain different attitudes of scholars and criticsB. defend the view of one group from the criticism of anotherC. advocate an unexpected solution to a pressing problemD. present the key issues in an ongoing debateDWikipedia: The Online Know-It-AllIf you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search for it is Wikipedia. The name “Wikipedia” is from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning “quick”. This online encyclopedia (百科全书) is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with Internet access can write, add or make changes to Wikipedia articles if he or she finds it incorrect or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors. But contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because many experienced editors are watching pages and techies (技术专家) can write editing programs to keep track of or correct bad edits. Where there are disagreements on how to present facts, editors work together to arrive at an article that fairly represents current expert opinion on the subject.Wikipedia is quite different from paper-based reference sources in important ways. Unlike printed encyclopedias, it is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years.What’s more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 285 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. Since its creation, it has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites, attracting nearly 500 million unique visitors monthly. There are more than 77,000 active contributors working on more than 22,000,000 articles in different languages. As of today, there are 4,396,866 articles in English.So, if you a re looking for some information, why not try Wikipedia? It’s free, multilingual，and informative.13. According to the passage, what is Wikipedia?A. A free website encyclopedia.B. A puter game.C. A free encyclopedia in book form.D. An online university.14. From the passage we know that ______.A. Wikipedia only charges users a small feeB. Wikipedia catches a wide audienceC. incorrect editions might do great harm to WikipediaD. it will take long to update the information on Wikipedia15. Where can we probably read the passage?A. In a story book.B. In a research report.C. In a science magazine.D. In a travel brochure.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Elsewhere, plastic were clogging up （堵塞）the seas, harming marine life.The drinks giant produces about three million tonnes of plastic packaging a year - equivalent to 200,000 bottles a minute. In 2019, it was found to be the most polluting brand in a global audit （调查）of plastic waste.But speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ms Perez said the firm recognized it now had to be part of the solution.However, Ms Perez said the firm could not ditch plastic outright, as some campaigners wanted, saying this could hit sales. She also said using only aluminum and glass packaging could push up the firm’s carbon footprint. “Business won’t be in business if we don’t accommodate consumers,” she added. “So as we change our bottling infrastructure, move into recycling and innovate, we also have shown the consumer what the opportunities are. They will change with us.”Ms Perez said she respected the idealism of youth activists and also agreed with calls for Coca Cola to reach its environmental goals sooner than 2030 - although she would not say whether she would step down if the plans failed.25. According to the text, what bad effects do plastic bottles have?A. It is impossible to recycle plastic.B. Plastic debris causes damage.C. Plastic is seen as the most polluting material.D. Plastic production leads to higher carbon footprint.26. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean?A. give outB. give upC. changeD. doubt27. What can we infer from Perez’s words in Paragraph 6?A. Coca Cola balances their needs with those of customers.B.The question remains whether non-plastic bottles will affect market.C. The firm creates whatever customers need.D. Campaigners urge Coca Cola to solve the problem step by step.CConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session - are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,” Lehan ne told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Choperegular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby c hurch. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t needa special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn’t be France.28.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.29.How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They are less frequently visited.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They have bigger night crowds.D. They start to serve fast food.30. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Create more jobs.B. Supply better drinks.C. Save the cafe business.D. Serve the neighborhood.31.Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.DOn Tuesday, Chinese health authorities confirmed the sixth death from the coronavirus(冠状病毒) which shares genetic similarities with the one responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS). The number of people known to be infected continues to rise with new cases still being reported.With the head of the Chinese government expert team saying on Monday that human-to-human transmission has been confirmed and the Spring Festival travel rush under way, in which hundreds of millions of people will be crisscrossing the country and traveling overseas for the holiday, it is widely expected that more cases, and even deaths, will be reported in the days to come.The new coronavirus has already been classified in the same category as the SARS outbreak, meaning compulsory isolation for those diagnosed with the disease and the potential to implement quarantine measures on travel, which shows that the authorities are prepared and resolved to safeguard people’s health.The World Health Organization has so far given a thumbs-up to Chinese efforts. It said earlier this month that it was “reassured of the quality of the ongoing investigations and the response measures implemented in Wuhan, as well as the commitment to share information regularly”.The coronavirus has so far spread to three other Asian countries, which indicates the urgency for medical scientists all over the world to work together against the common threat to human health. Epidemics know no borders and a local disease could easily morph into a global crisis, which is whythe WHO is holding an emergency committee meeting on Wednesday to decide whether to declare an international public health emergency.The speed of response is testimony to improved global preparedness for such epidemics. Now concerted efforts based on the experience accumulated by Chinese health experts and their foreign counterparts during the joint fights against such epidemics as SARS, swine flu and avian flu are needed to win the fight against the latest health hazard.32. What do we know about the coronavirus according to the passage?A. It is the same virus that led to SARS.B. The Spring Festival travel rush will not worsen the control of the virus.C. Whether it can be transmitted from person to person is still not known.D. Carriers diagnosed with the virus should be quarantined.33. What does the underlined word “morph” in paragraph 5 mean?A. translate.B. crash.C. change.D. divide.34. What is the WHO’s attitude towards the efforts made by China?A. dissatisfactory.B. favorableC. pessimistic.D. unpredictable35. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?A. The entire world is now being threatened with coronavirus.B. The speed of response and preparation for emergency should be largely improved.C. More experienced experts are needed to ensure the victory of the battle against the virus.D. Combined efforts from home and abroad should be made to fight against the epidemics.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。
