第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Which country can you travel to in 2020 that will allow you to go for longer, enjoy a higher standard, and save more money? The following destinations offer accommodation, transportation, and food for less.
Kyrgyzstan, $25/day
Kyrgyzstan is the choice for most travelers interested in trying out Central Asia, and most well-suited to travelers of all budgets. Food is cheap, so is getting around using the minibuses. You can find hostels and local home stays for less than $10. Meals cost $4 – $8 per day.
Romania, $33/day
If you are planning a European trip that’s affordable and a little bit off the beaten path, Romania is perfect for you. Unlike other popular places, many charming towns here remain unknown to most foreigners. You can also take free walking tours in the numerous historical sites. Hostels run $10 –$15 per night, food is hearty and delicious, and the public transportation is reliable and affordable. Meals cost $10 – $15 per day.
Arizona & Utah, $55/day
For an American Southwest road trip, you’ll spend an average of $110/day when you are alone. If you have just one other person, you’d be able to cut the costs almost perfectly in half. If you have two other people along, take it down to one third and so on. The more the better.
South Africa, $40/day
Any hostels in South Africa are in beautiful settings and each has a unique personality, and affordable too. Food can get expensive. To save money, cook your own food. Grocery stores are plentiful and have reasonable prices. By at least cooking your own breakfast, you can save a lot of money. The best (and possibly cheapest) way to get around the country is to rent a car and share with 3 other people. Meals cost $12 – $15 per day.
21. What makes Romania different from the other places?
A. Nice hostels.
B. Delicious food.
C. Less-visited towns.
D. Cheap transportation.
22. What may the author suggest for travelling in South Africa?
A. Cook your own breakfast.
B. Find unique travel partners.
C. Stay in excellent hotels.
D. Drive your own cars.
23. What feature do the four destinations share?
A. They’re famous for historical places.
B. They’re the best places for travelling.
C. They have convenient public transportation.
D. They’re good travel choices for saving money.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’ a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, “It’s a crow，a crow.”
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?”
This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. ”
If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little
child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave.”
24. Why did the Father ask the same question again and again?
A. Because he wanted to make his son angry.
B. Because he was too old to remember anything.
C. Because he wanted to see the reaction of his son.
D. Because he couldn’t understand what his son said.
25. The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because_______.
A. he would like his son to read it
B. he forgot what had happened
C. it could remind himself of the past
D. he wanted to find what a crow was

A. 80 years old.
B. 38 years old.
C. 45 years old.
D. 42 years old.
27. The writer mainly intends to ______.

Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you're one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.
When there's a recession in the economy, those who attend college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finish high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life. A
good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

New technology is making it possible for people to make videos of people appearing to say things they never actually said. The videos are known as “deepfakes”.
The word “deepfake” is a combination of “deep learning”(an important part of artificial intelligence) and “fake” (not re al). Deepfake software allows people to replace part of a video with another video image. The result is a fake video.
The software allows you to put your face over the face of a talking president or movie star. This process will make your face speak in the voice of that president or movie star. Many people are worried the technology will be used to trick voters. Lawmakers, intelligence officials and media experts have expressed concern about deepfakes. They warn the false videos could be used to threaten Am erica’s national security.
“We have entered a new world where it is going to be difficult to know how to believe what we see,” said Hany Farid, a researcher at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. He added, “the opposite result is also worrying. P eople will become so used to seeing false videos that they will be more likely to doubt a real video. ”
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) is already working to develop technologies to identify fake images and videos. But Senator Rubio says, now the identification is difficult and takes a very long time.
“It takes advanced technology to be able to show that it’s not real. And by the time that’s done, it’s been widely used.”
Rubio and other lawmakers say people will need to take more responsibility to identify fakes.
32.What is “deepfake” software used to do?
A. Kill some virus.
B. Make fake videos.
C. Make excellent movies.
D. Benefit stars and leaders.
33. Why was Hany Farid worried?
A. False videos might mislead people.
B. It was too difficult to use the software.
C. Private information might be given away.
D. Some people might be addicted to “deepfakes”.
34. What can we know from Rubio’s words?
A. It is really difficult to identify fake videos.
B. The technology “deepfake” has been banned.
C. The government is responsible for identification.
D. National security is being threatened by “deepfake”.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Ways to identify fake videos.
B. People’s different views on “deepfake”.
C. A new technology with a bright future.
D. A worrying new technology “deepfake”.

根据短文内容，从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。

When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. That is not all the truth. 36 An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person’s face even if only for a moment.
Give away your money. 37 For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.
Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street. 38 The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.
Care about those you know. Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favorite fun place if he has had a hard week. 39 .
Be grateful to others. Have you had good service in a restaurant? Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbor who is always there when you need her? Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.
40 If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have, but always remember to be polite.
A.Keep walking forward.
B.Share your knowledge.
C.Small steps, not big ones.
D.Give your seat on the bus to an old man.
E.Choose a charity that has meaning for you.
F.Tell your children how much they mean to you.
G.Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.

Dear Smith, How are you doing? I'm writing to express my thanks to you for your advice.
Because of following your advice,I have made great progress in English listening and speaking.
I used to have trouble in the two aspects. Now my oral English has been improved a lot. Last week, I got third in the English speech contest held by the school. Just as you said,practice makes perfect. In the past,I couldn't understand what my foreign teacher said. By listening to the tape over and over again in my spare time,I can communicate with him freely now.
I sincerely invite you to come to China for a trip. After the college entrance examination,I'm glad to be your guide.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua。
