AIn the last 50 years, sea surface temperatures around Antarctica have risen by 1-2°C, which is more than twice the global average.Loss of speciesGlobal warming could basically change the ecosystem, leading to the loss of some species. Sharks are going to arrive in Antarctica as long as the warming trend continues, a bit more slowly than crabs-crabs are going to get there first, but once they do get there they are able to eat the organisms that live there.Professor Wilga said the arrival of sharks and shell-crushing bony fishes would lead to great changes in the number and proportions(比例)of species found there.Shrimp, ribbon worms and brittle stars are likely to be the most attackable to population declines. Animals living in shallow water in Antarctica are unique on Earth today because they evolved(进化)in a very cold environment over tens of millions of years.Extreme conditionsIn the course of a process we call Antarctic cooling that started about 40 million years ago, all major seafloor predators such as sharks and crabs went extinct in Antarctica because they were not able to deal with these extreme conditions.However, today global warming is removing barriers to invasions and we’ve seen recently that crabs, especially king crabs, are on the doorstep of Antarctica-they can potentially re-invade the shallow waters if warming continues.Urgent local and global actions are needed to protect this last environment and measures are needed to stop alien species being brought in through ships.Strange creaturesAnimals that live on the seafloor of Antarctica are some of the strangest creatures on Earth. The extreme cold and darkness has presented huge challenges to marine life over the passage of time, leading to the evolution of fish equipped with anti- freeze proteins in their blood.1.How will these alien species affect the ecosystem in Antarctica?A.They will change the extremely cold conditions in Antarctica.B.They will change the numbers and proportions of species in Antarctica.C.The sea surface temperature of Antarctica will rise more quickly.D.The number of shrimp and ribbon worms will increase in Antarctica.2.How does the author feel about the alien species’ invasion to Antarctica?A.Worried. B.Doubtful. C.Satisfied. D.Excited.3.Which is the best title of this passage?A.Creatures in Antarctica Are UniqueB.The Extreme Conditions in AntarcticaC.Alien Species Are Not Found in AntarcticaD.Alien Species May Change Antarctic EcosystemBAs seniors in college looking forward to life’s next goals-graduation and employment-it is essential to have a sense of feeling important. Every time I look through job listings, there is a small, and sometimes not so small current running through my mind, spitting out little charges that are meant to stop me from even applying. The charges come in the form of words that seem to shout out like “It is not even worth trying!” or “You look as if you were a qualified man...”I met with a professor last week about a specific posting that really got me excited. Maybe the first time I could actually imagine myself in a position. I do not want to tell you which one because then there will be one more person applying for it. However, the professor said to me, “You and thousands of other people are interested in that job.” His response successfully dampened(抑制)my initial enthusiasm. So I went back to work on my cover letter, feeling like one little itty-bitty(极小的)sardine swimming in a school of thousands, with far less motivation than I had initially.Of course, the realities are good, and we should never feel deserving of, or entitled to, a position. I would say there are only a few select students out there. The cream, who has academic advantages, would be sure to stand out. The rest of us, struggling through our course loads, are the crop. But being the crop does not make us any less important!The point is that, like the old Hasidic story goes in Jewish tradition, we should always remember to carry two slips of paper in our pockets, especially during times of challenge and transition. When feeling beat down, or lost within a school of sardines, take out one slip of paper that says “For my sake, the world was created”. But for fear that you become a person filled with self-importance, carry a second slip of paper to serve as a gentle reminder, “I am but dust and ashes.”4.What does the author imply in Paragraph 1?A.He doesn’t want to work after graduation.B.He has no confidence in finding a good job.C.He tries to behave himself after graduation.D.He shows no interest in most jobs in the list.5.After talking with the professor, the author was ________.A.inspired B.confused C.discouraged D.embarrassed6.What does the underlined part “the crop” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.The plants in the field. B.Common members of a group.C.Those who enjoy their life. D.Those who are tied to a position.7.What’s suggested in the last paragraph?A.Control our feelings when faced with different problems.B.Read as many old stories as possible in our daily life.C.Learn how to make ourselves important to others.D.Understand the function of two sheets of paper.CInternet time tied to teen depression(抑郁) symptomsSpending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens —or too little, for that matter —might be related to depression, a new study finds.The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who w ere online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users,while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about "depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account.Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.8.How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?A.More than two hours. B.More than eight hours.C.More than twelve hours. D.More than ten hours.9.What’s the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues’ study?A.To know the actual number of teenagers online.B.To know the actual time of teenagers online.C.To know the influence of study online on teenagers.D.To know the relationship between the Internet use and depression.10.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph?A.Independent B.UnitedC.Separated. D.Capable.11.According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude?A.Non-users of Internet aren’t likely to be depressed.B.Among girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users. C.Heavy users will lead to death unless limited.D.Non-users have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.DA study, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanford University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers from the government, either as a handout or as a “reward” for something like getting kids to school on tim e or taking them to the doctor for checkups.Evans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes .What they found was that they almost always led to a reduction in a family’s alcohol and tobacco purchases.The news may surprise some people, but it’s true, and the researchers have several theories about why.One theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible .Investing in their kids’ education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within reach now, but without the cash handout, these goals weren’t even a possibility.So families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality.Another theory is that peopl e just generally seem to do what they’re told.If they are given money and told to use it for their family’s welfare, in most cases, they will do just that.And that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children.Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clear—families that receive cash handouts don’t waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought .Instead, they typically use that money for the benefit of their families.And that’s money well spent.12.The study proves that .A.cash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseB.cash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsC.given cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoD.poor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs13.A cash transfer led to a reduction in a f amily’s alcohol and tobacco purchases because .A.the education gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol and tobaccoB.the money previously for alcohol and tobacco would help realize their dreamC.buying healthier and more expensive foods left less money for alcohol and tobaccoD.that was the promise made before the cash transfer was given to the poor family14.In paragraph 5, when the author said “women control the purse strings”, he just meant “ ”.A.women are told what to do B.women are given the moneyC.women know what to do with the money D.women have the final word for money15.The passage mainly tells us .A.how the study was carried outB.why cash transfer is preferredC.the findings of a study and explanations to themD.the theories for a study about cash transfers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。

In it, Sawyers explained that she was feeling “some type of way” after her classmates had mean things to say after she wore her natural hair the day before. But she was determined not to let it bring her down, and wore it the same way the following day. “Don’t allow anyone to steal your joy,” Promise said. “Don’t give them that much power.”Daugherty says that Promise has been surrounded by that type of positivity her whole life. She’s always taught her daughter to “meet a negative with a positive”, even when somebody is trying to bring her down. And although this example seems like one of the more disheartening( 令人气馁的) ones that Promise has faced after starting at a new school, her video proved that she took her mom’s advice to heart.Now, nearly 2 milli on views later, people everywhere are responding to the video. “We had no idea the impact that it was going to make and the amount of messages,” Daugherty said. “It’s made a huge impact behind the scenes that has blessed me personally.”Daugherty jokes tha t Promise doesn’t understand how influential her words are. Instead, the 10-year-old is just excited about the millions of views.“I just tell her not to focus on the numbers,” Daugherty says. “Let’s find a way we can be impactful behind this and make an i nfluence and inspire people. That’s all we want.”24. What does the underlined word “afro” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. A hairstyle.B. A disability.C. An attitude.D. A video.25.

Surprised.CTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets(配件)unmanageable, they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.28.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A.The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B.The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C.The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D.Many problems of usability known by the consumers.29.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B.What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C.Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D.The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product30.What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A.They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B.They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C.They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D.They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB.Feature-heavy Products in DemandC.The More Features, the BetterD.Simplicity Outweighs ComplexityDOnce March 29 was impressed firmly in the minds of British people, as this was the date when the UK was supposed to leave the European Union (EU).The UK public voted to leave the EU almost three years ago. Since then, the UK Parliament has voted many times to determine the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. But British lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on any particular path. So the UK and EU member states agreed to push the Brexit (脱欧) deadline to April 12, hoping this would allow UK lawmakers to get a Brexit deal through the UK Parliament.On March 29, British lawmakers rejected UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal once again. According to USA Today, the failure to reach an agreement was largely because hard-line (强硬的) lawmakers from Conservative Party didn’t feel the deal done with the EU adequately separates the UK from the EU. Meanwhile, many Labor Party lawmakers were in favor of closer ties with the EU. As result, the UK has to announce a new plan before April 12, or leave the EU without a deal, and the latter one will bring the UK and the EU countries many influences. For example, the UK would have to face the fact that the price of imported goods for British people could go up as a result. Meanwhile, there could be long delays at borders between the UK and the EU countries if passport checks are strengthened.In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the German government would give British citizens living in Germany an initial period of three months during which their rights to live and work there would not change. However, they would have to apply for the permits of living in Germany during that period. The French Parliament has passed a law to give the government the power to introduce new measures to deal with a no-deal Brexit. The law covers, among other things, the rights of UK national a living and working in France.More efforts to prevent a disorderly Brexit are still needed, but time is limited!32. Why did the UK and EU member states push the Brexit deadline to April 12?A. To wait for a new Brexit deal.B. To make a no-deal Brexit plan.C. To meet Theresa May’s request.D. To have a better ties with the EU.33. What does the underlined part “the latter one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Conservative Party.B. Labor Party.C. Theresa May’s Brexit deal.D. The no-deal Brexit.34. What will Germany ask British citizens to do for the possible no -deal Brexit?A. Leave Germany within three months.B. Continue to live and work in Germany.C. Obtain living permits in the specific time.D. Hand in the their passports as soon as possible.35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present situation of the Brexit?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. Ambiguous.D. Surprised.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。
