The museum hired blacksmiths, called the manufacturer, contacted former employees and challenged visitors to play around with the safe —but nobody had any success.Until last month, when a visitor to Vermilion cracked the code (密码) on his first try, much to the astonishment of everyone present.Stephen Mills, from Fort McMurray, Alberta, was on a family camping trip with his wife and his two children. After giving the Mills' family a tour of the whole building, the museum volunteer showed them the objects in the basement, including the mysterious safe.It originally had belonged to the town's Brunswick Hotel which opened in the early 1900s. When the hotel shut down in the late 1970s, the safe was locked —and so it had remained.It was like a time capsule, nobody had any idea of what was in there," said Mills.Like other visitors, Mills was offered the chance to take a crack at opening it.“Just like you see in the movies.” he said,“1 looked at the dial and I saw the numbers were running from 0 to 60. So I thought in my head 20-40-60. I did a particular combination which is three on the right two on the left, and one on the right, tried the handle ... and it opened!"It was a 100% guess," he said. 1 was fully amazed.1 stepped back a little bit and thought, ‘I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight!"The contents of the safe proved a little disappointing."Unfortunately, there wasn't what we thought was there," Mills said. “Some papers, old checks, a waitress' notebook, and a receipt from the hotel. That's it."Nonetheless, Mills said everyone was excited about the lucky guess. "My children kept screaming ‘We beat the code! We beat the code!”’ he said.5. Who unlocked the mysterious safe?A. A visitor.B. A volunteer.C. A blacksmith.D. An employee.6. How did Mills unlock the old safe?A. After several attempts.B. Through accurate calculations.C. By a random guess.D. With professional guidance.7. What did Mills think of the contents of the safe?A. Exciting.B. Unexpected.C. Impressive.D. Valuable.CPang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though shedid not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.Surprisingly, her 75-yerold father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus."We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections," Pang said, pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in east China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present in certain areas.China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak. The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife Protection, said wild animalconsumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health."The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit," Li said.8. What can we learn about Pang Hui's family from the text?A. Usually more than seven people dine together.B. They have started to use serving chopsticks at table.c. Pang Hui's father opposes using serving chopsticks.D. They don't know how to avoid being infected by the virus.9. According to the text, what has been done by the government?A. Sharing dishes has been abandoned.B. Cross-infections have been prevented.C. Eating wild animals has been forbidden.D. Standard personal chopsticks have been adopted.10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Explain.B. Discover.C. Form.D. Remove.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Serving Chopsticks PromotedB. Ways to Help People Stay HealthyC. Coronavirus Leads to ChangeD. China Bans Trading of WildlifeDPeople who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than those born to take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one- sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes.“There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal," said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental abilities They found that right- and lf-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often are concentrated on the right side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.12. What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?A. Left-handers have more balanced brains.B. Right-handers have more flexible brains.C. Left-handers' brains are more one-sided.D. Right-handers' brains are more symmetric.13. Which element determines a person's hand preference?A. Environment.B. Intelligence.C. Habit.D. Gene.14. What can be said about identical twins?A. They always have similar brain structure.B. They never carry the gene for hand preference.C. They have different genes for hand preference.D. They can have different hand preference.15. What did the UCLA team research on?A. People's genetic makeup.B. People's hand preference.C. People's brain sizes.D. People's communicative skills.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分澜分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。

She became the first woman and youngest person ever to solve the “V15” bou l d e r( 攀岩) problem, considered the most difficult type of problem in the sport.Shiraishi is also the world’s youngest person to solve the V10,V13,and V14 boulder problem, which she did at ages 8, 10, and 13.“Once I have a project in mind, I don’t really give up,” she said. “And even if my skin is looking really bad from bouldering, I’ll just get back on it.”The New York City native first got to know the sport at age 6 when she saw park-goers climbing Rat Rock in a city park in New York City. Attracted, she started climbing it every day after school and began training at an indoor climbing gym soon after.She won her first competition at age 7, competing against grown women climbers.“It was mostly the movement that really attracted me because it was almost like dancing.

At 5-foot-1 and 100 pounds, she could be considered at a physical disadvantage compared to taller climbers who can reach holds more readily. But she makes up for it with smooth movements that only a climber of small size could make.“The most important part of climbing is not really thinking at all. Once you start thinking, you doubt yourself, and that’s the worst that could happen to you,” she said.Shiraishi hopes to compete on the most important stage for sports, the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, where climbing will make its first official appearance.4.

It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People’s Daily.According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study noted.According to Xinhua News Agency, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. In the past, some previous garbage regulations didn’t give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. “It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting.” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. Liu Xinyu, a researcher of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told China Daily that the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.B. People will be fined not less than 200 yuan.C. All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.D. Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.9. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Garbage-sorting systems have been built in 46 major cities.B. People aren’t fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.C. Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.D. People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.10. What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo’s words?A. There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.B. The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.C. Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.D. He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Cities Get Serious About WasteB. Regulations Are of Great ImportanceC. Garbage Is Hard to Recycle AppropriatelyD. Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into PracticeDIn the space of just two years, the app Douyin, created by Beijing-based company ByteDance, has gathered more than half a billion users—around 40%of them outside China—who share short videos of themselves li p-syn ci ng( 假唱), cooking, dancing or just being silly. What sets ByteDance apart is its success in the social media category, which is controlled by Facebook, Twitter and Snap—all Western companies.ByteDance calls itself an artificial intelligence company. It uses machine learning and algorithms ( 算法) to figure out what people like most and give them more of what they want to see. On Douyin, people can edit and beautify 15-second videos before posting them online.The app has even made a phrase to describe people glued to their customized feeds: “shua Douyin” or “scrolling through Douyin”. Last year, the company released TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin. ByteDance’s growing video empire has made it the world’s fifth biggest app maker. ByteDance says TikTok and Douyin together have more than 500 million monthly active users.Investors like ByteDance because its hundreds of millions of users attract a lot of advertising money. The video apps are l ucrative because they attract a lot of users in their teens and 20s, who are more generous with the money. ByteDance also makes money through income sharing deals. People on TikTok, for example, can buy digital coins to give to other people on the app—like throwing money in a performer’s tip jar. ByteDance takes a cut of those earnings.ByteDance’s founder and CEO is Zhang Yiming, a 35-year-old former Microsoft employee. People who have worked with Zhang describe him as someone who thinks deeply about technology and spends much of his free time writing code.Like Facebook and Twitter, ByteDance is also battling fake news and inappropriate content. ByteDance promises to add thousands more employees to review content on Douyin.12.What makes ByteDance so special?A. It is the biggest artificial intelligence company on the earth.B. Its app challenges similar companies’ rule in Western world.C. It invented the social media app initially in the world.D. It has controlled Facebook, Twitter and Snap.13.Why is Douyin so popular?A. It is a new generation hi-tech product.B. It has both home and overseas version.C.It meets the demand of people individually.D.It is easy and totally free to operate online.14. How does ByteDance make a profit?A. By charging the users.B. By selling its artificial intelligence.C. By forcing the users to donate.D. By charging the advertisement.15. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “lucrative” in Paragraph 3?A. expensiveB. profitableC. popularD. creative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。

After giving the Mills' family a tour of the whole building, the museum volunteershowed them the objects in the basement, including the mysterious safe.It originally had belonged to the town's Brunswick Hotel which opened in the early 1900s.When the hotel shut down in the late 1970s, the safe was locked :一and so it had remained.“It was like a time capsule, nobody had any idea of what was in there," said Mills.Like other visitors, Mills was offered the chance to take a crack at opening it.“Just like you see in the movies," he said,“I looked at the dial and I saw the numbers wererunning from 0 to 60. So I thought in my head 20-40-60. I did a particular combination which isthree on the right, two on the left, and one on the right, tried the handle .... and it opened!""“It was a 100% guess." he said.“I was fully amazed. I stepped back a lttle bit and thought,'I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight!""The contents of the safe proved a little disappointing.checks, “Unfortunately, there wasn't what we thought was there," Mills said.“Some papers, old a waitress' notebook, and a receipt from the hotel. That's it."Nonetheless, Mills said everyone was excited about the lucky guess. “My c hildren keptscreaming 'We beat the code! We beat the code!" he said.5. Who unlocked the mysterious safe?A. A visitor.B. A volunteer.C. A blacksmith.D. An employee.6. How did Mills unlock the old safe?A. After several attempts.B. Through accurate calculations.C. By a random guess.D. With professional guidance.7. What did Mills think of the contents of the safe?A. Exciting.B. Unexpected.C. Impressive.D. Valuable.CPang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though shedid not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.Surprisingly, her 75-year-old father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus.“We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections," Pang said; pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like BeiJing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in east China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present in certain areas.China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak. The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife' Protection, said. wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health.“The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit," Li said.8. What can we learn about Pang Hu i’s family from the text?A. Usually more than seven people dine together.B. They have started to use serving chopsticks at table.C. Pang Hui’s father opposes using serving chopsticks.D. They don't know how to avoid being infected by the virus.9. According to the text, what has been done by the government?A. Sharing dishes has been abandoned.B. Cross-infections have been prevented.C. Eating wild animals has been forbidden.D. Standard personal chopsticks have been adopted.10. What does the underlined word "eliminate" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Explain.B. Discover.C. Form.D. Remove.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Serving Chopsticks PromotedB. Ways to Help People Stay HealthyC. Corona virus Leads to ChangeD. China Bans Trading of WildlifeDPeople who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than those bornto take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one-sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes."There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal," said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental abilities. They found that right- and left-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often, are concentrated on the right side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.12. What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?A. Left-handers have more balanced brains.B. Right- handers have more flexible brains.C. Left-handers' brains are more one- sided.D. Right-handers' brains are more symmetric.13. Which element determines a person's hand preference?A. Environment.B. Intelligence.C. Habit.D. Gene.14. What can be said about identical twins?A. They always have similar ,brain structure.B. They never carry the gene for hand preference.C. They have different genes for hand preference.D. They can have different hand preference.15. What did the UCLA team research on?A. People's genetic makeup.B. People's hand preference.C. People's brain sizes.D. People's communicative skills.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。

The green light on the dock shows the bike is unlockedBHome from the Navy, I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been out of high school for four years, but my high school headmaster, Mr. Gardner, invited me to a Valentine’s day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed.When Friday came, I cleaned up, dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at and I was crazy—I had never seen such a beautiful girl!I asked Mr. Gardner who she was, and he answered, “That’s Marilyn Riley, Cut Riley’s daughter.” I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself, “Hi, I’m Jack Joseph.”“I know who you are,” was her not-too-friendly response.“Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No! I’m working,” she shot back.“Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No,” was her response.For the next month I phoned, trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer: No. then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice, I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella, no raincoat, no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride, half expecting her to say no. instead, she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house, but after pulling into her driveway we talked for 45minutes. It was magic from then on.5. Why did Jack decide to attend the party?A. The party was hold to welcome him back homeB. Marilyn would be introduced to him at the partyC. He could meet some of his former teachers thereD. They gathered there to celebrate Valentine’s Day6. What was the author’s attitude towards the party?A. CasualB. FormalC. PassiveD. worried7. We can infer from the text that __________.A. Jack once served in the army after high schoolB. it took Jack 45 minutes to drive Marilyn homeC. Jack and Marilyn were familiar with each otherD. it was Marilyn’s cold attitude that interested Jack8.

Jack would have frequent conflicts with MarilynCSpider monkeys have long, thin arms with hooklike hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指).The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers’ backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears.Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (属)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.9. Spider monkeys live mostly on ________.A. insectsB. fruitsC. flowersD. leaves10. What can we learn about spider monkeys?A. They have five legsB. They live in small groupsC. Their tails can take their weightD. Their genus is the same as spiders’11. What does the underlined word “barred” in the best paragraph refer to?A. PermittedB. ForbiddenC. EncouragedD. Ignored12. Where do newly-born spider monkeys stay?A. In a large communityB. In trees with high branchesC. On their mothers’ backsD. On their mothers’ stomachsDParents may think they’re smart about where they store medicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(学步者)aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they’d been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.Most poisonings related to medicines---particularly among babies and toddlers---occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of hand-to-mouth activity, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.The new Safe Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings had declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements(补充品)can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.13. Why are children poisoned according to the text?A. Some of the medicines at home taste niceB. There is something poisonous in medicinesC. Kids have easy access to medicines at homeD. Kids are curious to explore the environment14. What can we learn from the text?A. Vitamins and supplements can do good to kidsB. The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6C. 600 parents surveyed could keep medicines properlyD. Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home15. What could be the best title for the text?A. Parents’ Casual Behavior Leads to Kids PoisonedB. The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined LatelyC. Nearly 60,000 Children Are Poisoned by MedicinesD. Kids Are Facing the Risk of Being Poisoned at Home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。

AWhile you are doing your summer vacation planning, consider packing along one or more of these 4 books, displayed by Goodreads for CNN Underscored as some of the best beach reads released this summer.“The Death of Mrs. Westaway” by Ruth Ware ($13.49; )“On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter giving her a huge amount of money. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the dead.

Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have ruined any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair emboldened her. “I wanted to prove to my community—and to myself—that I was still ‘normal,’” she told Teen Vogue.“Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands,” Hill told Today, “It definitely took a lot of learning and patience.” After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling”, she said.Hill has attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She’s a dancer. But the Rolletteshave helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello told Teen Vogue that working with Hill challenged her to be more independent. “My injury doesn’t stop so I can live my life, so why am I going to stop living my life because of my injury?” she said.Edna Serrano says that being part of the Rollettes team has given her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car, “I didn’t know I could do so many things that these girls have taught me.”4. What does the underlined word “emboldened” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. destroyedB. encouragedC. preventedD. deserved5. What can be learned from the text?A. It took Hill nearly a month to recover in the hospital.B. People from more than 20 countries joined the Rollettes.C. Hill helped the dancers find their self-confidence.D. Hill would expand her dance camp.6. Which the following words can best describe Hill?A. Ambitious and curious.B. Honest and hardworking.C. Humorous and brave.D. Strong-willed and warm-hearted.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. A way to achieve one’s dream.B. An inspiring story of dancers.C. Chelsie Hill: a courageous dancer.D. A dance camp for the disabled.COn Sunday, undersea explorer Tim Taylor and his team at the Lost 52 Project announced that they had located the long-lost submarine on June 5 about 1,427 feet underwater off Okinawa, Japan. Last year, researcher Yutaka Iwasaki found that the Navy had originally made an error in translating the Japanese war records that detailed where the Grayback had likely sunk. All this time, the Navy’s historical reco rds had listed an incorrect site for the submarine’s location.With the help of autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles and advanced imaging technology, the team discovered the Grayback about 100 miles from the area where it was originally thought to have gone down. The discovery was officially confirmed by the Navy, Robert S. Neyland, the head of the Naval History and Heritage.On January 28, 1944, the Grayback set sail from Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea. About a month later, the submarine reported sinking two Japanese ships on February 19. Though the Grayback was scheduled to arrive in Midway on March 7, more than three weeks passed without sight of the submarine. And on March 30, 1944, the Grayback, one of the most successful submarines of World War II, was reported lost.Gloria Hurney, whose uncle Raymond Parks died on the Grayback, said that she wasn’t sure that the Grayback would ever be recovered. So when she first learned of the discovery, she felt a mixture of shock, disbelief, sadness. Eventually, though, those feelings turned into relief, comfort and peace. Hurney said in a statement to CNN. “I believe it will allow recovery as relatives of crew members come together to share their stories.” Neyland said in a statement, “Eac h discovery of a sunken craft is an opportunity to remember and honor the service of our Sailors.”8. Why was the submarine NOT found before?A. The Navy was wrong in changing records into Japanese .B. The technology was not so advanced.C. No information about the submarine was obtained.D. There was no need to find it.9. How was the submarine located?A. By accident.B. By the Navy’s hard-working.C. By the families’ determination.D. By modern technology.10. What can be inferred from the text?A. People’s feeling about the discovery was complicated.B. The Grayback would be recovered soon.C. The Grayback was the most successful submarine of the World WarⅡ.D. The Grayback was supposed to reach the destination on April 7.11. What is the main idea of this text?A. Tim Taylor and his team announced a new discovery.B. A World War Ⅱ submarine was discovered.C. An opportunity to remember and honor the service of Sailors.D. A mistake the Navy made in translating the Japanese war records.DBefore you throw your trash into the nearest can, think for a moment. Not all your garbage can be dumped into one trashcan. It needs to be sorted out with different things going into different bins. Waste classification, a practice that has long been normal in developed countries like Japan, is the new challenge for many Chinese urban residents. However, though initially you might need to rack your brains to figure out which trash goes into which can, in the long run, the result is well worth the effort.Landfills, sites where waste is buried and covered over with soil, are a major method of disposing of residential waste in China. However, considering the environmental disaster associated with burying waste, there is a pressing need to reduce the amount of waste that goes into a landfill. Classification, sorting waste into different categories such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, is a key solution.Currently, 46 cities across China, are carrying out a program that aims to put in place a classification-based garbage disposal system by the end of 2020. It is hoped that this will reduce the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills by a large degree. Shanghai came into the media focus in early July after it carried out compulsory garbage sorting rules that those who fail to dispose of garbage properly should be fined. Beijing is reviewing its regulations to follow in Shanghai’s footsteps. The new rules may cause short-term inconvenience but they are meant to help residents follow the concept of garbage classification for the common good.As the programs show, residents can gradually develop this habit with their growing awareness and the help of advanced technology. In future, this practice should be adopted across China, in urban cities and rural areas alike. With public involvement, China’s garbage sorting program will contribute not only to the nation’s sustainable (可持续的) development but also to making the planet a better place to live in.12. What is the most probable reason for classifying waste?A. No site for burying waste.B. People’s habit.C. Economic cost.D. Environmental pollution.13. What is the purpose of the program?A. To practise waste classification.B. To protect environment.C. To save oil for farming.D. To reduce the quantity of waste.14. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A program adopted across China.B. Shanghai carried out new disposal rules.C. Doing the best with waste.D. Protecting environment is necessary.15. What is likely to happen in China according to the text?A. China will become the leading country of the program.B. The program will be spread nationwide.C. Development in rural areas will make great progress.D. People will help develop modern technology.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。

The museum hired blacksmiths, called the manufacturer, contacted former employees and challenged visitors to play around with the safe —but nobody had any success.Until last month, when a visitor to Vermilion cracked the code (密码) on his first try, much to the astonishment of everyone present.Stephen Mills, from Fort McMurray, Alberta, was on a family camping trip with his wife and his two children. After giving the Mills’ family a tour of the whole building, the museum volunteer showed them the objects in the basement, including the mysterious safe.It originally had belonged to the town’s Brunswick Hotel which opened in the early 1900s. When the hotel shut down in the late 1970s, the safe was locked —and so it had remained.“It was like a time capsule, nobody had any idea of what was in there,” said Mills.Like other visitors, Mills was offered the chance to take a crack at opening it.“J ust like you see in the movies,” he said, “I looked at the dial and I saw the numbers were running from 0 to 60. So I thought in my head 20-40-60. I did a particular combination which is three on the right, two on the left, and one on the right, tried the handle ... and it opened!”“It was a 100% guess,” he said. “I was fully amazed. I stepped back a little bit and thought, ‘I’m buying a lottery ticket tonight!’”The contents of the safe proved a little disappointing.“Unfortunately, there wasn’t what we thought was there,” Mills said. “Some papers, old checks, a waitress’ note book, and a receipt from the hotel. T hat’s it.”Nonetheless, Mills said everyone was excited about the lucky g uess. “My children kept screaming ‘We beat the code! We beat the code!’” he said.英语试卷·第3页(共12页)5.

Valuable.CPang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though she did not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.Surprisingly, her 75-year-old father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus.“We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections,” Pang said, pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in east China’s Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present英语试卷·第4页(共12页)in certain areas.China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak. The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife Protection, said wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people’s health.“The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit,” Li said.8. What can we learn about Pang Hui’s family from the text?A. Usually more than seven people dine together.B. They have started to use serving chopsticks at table.C. Pang Hui’s father opposes using serving chopsticks.D. They don’t know how to avoid being infected by the virus.9. According to the text, what has been done by the government?A.

China Bans Trading of Wildlife英语试卷·第5页(共12页)DPeople who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than those born to take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one-sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes.“There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal,” said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental abilities. They found that right- and left-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often are concentrated on the right side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.12. What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?英语试卷·第6页(共12页)A. Left-handers have more balanced brains.B. Right-handers have more flexible brains.C. Left-handers’ brains are more one-sided.D.
