AYou might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China. Here, we list several of the most beautiful ancient villages in China.Baoshan Stone City, Yunnan ProvinceBaoshan Stone City was built on a huge mushroom-shaped rock, and only has about one hundred houses.The houses are laid out in an orderly way, built on the rock, and linked by stone steps. The Naxi people there still lead an original life and grow crops in terraces (梯田); you can experience the colorful culture of the Naxi ethnic (民族的) group there.Tuvas Village in Kanas, XinjiangKanas Tuvas Village is near the mysterious Lake Kanas. The small village is located in a valley, and only has about 80 houses. These Swiss-style wooden houses are all surrounded by wooden fences. Tuvas is an ancient minority group. They traditionally lived as hunter-gathers. You can visit a local family, go herding (放牧) with the locals and experience the peaceful ancient village life.Jiaju Tibetan Village, Danba, Sichuan ProvinceJiaju Tibetan Village is known as the “Tibetan fairyland”. It stands on a mountain slope, and consists of about 140 houses. These unique houses are all built with crown-shaped roofs, red eaves, and white walls, which make the houses look like little castles among the forest.Xijiang Miao Village, Guizhou ProvinceIf you re interested in the Miao Minority, Xijiang Miao Village can be a great destination for deepening your understanding of Miao history and culture. It’s the largest Miao village in China, and now has 1432 households with a population of over 5000, of which 99.5% are Miao ethnic group. It’ s also famous for the houses built on stilts (支柱) of different heights.21．What can you do in Kanas Tuvas Village?A．Hike in terraces.B．See houses of a foreign style.C．Go hunting with the locals.D．Learn about houses built on stilts.22．Where can you admire the houses like castles?A．In Baoshan Stone City. B．In Kanas Tuvas Village.C．In Jiaju Tibetan Village. D．In Xijiang Miao Village.23．What can we infer about the villages mentioned in the text?A．They remained secret to the outside world in the past.B．They were originally built to defend their homeland.C．They are still cut off and difficult to access nowadays.D．They are the ethnic villages with unique architecture.BIn the 1970s, chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis developed the Gaia hypothesis （盖亚假说）: all organic and inorganic components on the planet are part of one self-regulating system, working to maintain life on earth. Scientists agree that we need take significant action to control emissions （排放）. But where scientists and popular movements have thus far failed to convince the world to act, it seems that Mother Earth may have succeeded, with the never-before-seen COVID-19.COVID-19 is estimated to have reduced carbon dioxide emission in China by a quarter. It caused factories to shut down, and slowed construction activities. Recent analysis shows a 70 percent drop in flights in February compared with January. And even getting into a car and going to a restaurant, shopping mall, or concert poses a risk of infection, which means that many people are choosing to stay at home and are consuming less, resulting in a significant reduction of their carbon footprints.Of course, China and the rest of the world will hope to restart normal production and consumption as soon as the virus is under control. However, some positive measures have already been taken as a result of COVID-19. As the virus is thought to originate from wildlife, Chinese authorities are revising laws and regulations regarding the country's massive wildlife trade in order to prevent future epidemics（流行病）—a win for biodiversity.The deaths of thousands of people worldwide should also serve as a lasting reminder of the fragility of life. We humans frequently ignore or repress uncomfortable thoughts of death and extinction. We would rather get on with our lives as usual, thinking everything will somehow work out in the end. Only in the faceof suffering and death are we forced to view the bigger, longer-term perspective—and this is what is needed in order to react appropriately to climate change. COVID-19 has sent alarm bells ringing throughout the world.24．What does the author mention the Gaia hypothesis for?A．To tell the main idea of the text.B．To introduce the topic for discussion.C．To show the need to protect the planet.D．To stress the importance of self-regulating system.25．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The unexpected benefit of COVID-19.B．The economic influence of COVID-19.C．The preventive measures for COVID-19.D．The possible causes of COVID-19.26．What does the underlined word "repress" in the last paragraph refer to?A．Control. B．Hold.C．Vary. D．Test.27．What does the writer want to tell us in the text?A．It's urgent to fight the virus.B．The virus has caused many deaths.C．Life is fragile in face of disasters.D．Action is needed for climate change.CMacinley Butson was just 16 years old when she first had the idea to try and protect women from more — than — necessary radiation during breast cancer treatments—and now, her invention could be agame-changer in the medical field.Butson, whose father works in medical physics, has always been interested in science. But she only began researching the harmful side effects of radiation treatment after her father discussed his experience with ineffective cancer treatments in his work. Since Butson had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to conduct her own research on the subject. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals, but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand.She then turned to the Internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals. As she went deeper in her research, she stumbled upon a key bit of information: copper （铜）has been shown to be effective at protecting skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing a film on medieval wars in her 10th grade history class. When she saw the scaled （鳞片）patterns of the mail （盔甲）,she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched videos on how to put together tiny scales. She made her own flexible scale-mail which she now calls SMART: Scale Mail for Radiation Therapy.When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting, it reduced surface exposure to unnecessary radiation by 75%. And now Butson is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use. 28．Why did Macinley Butson start her research?A．To assist her father with his work. B．To save her relative from cancer.C．To publish some articles in journals. D．To find effective ways to treat cancer.29．What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Came across. B．Missed.C．Passed on. D．Required.30．Where did Macinley Buston get inspiration for her invention?A．Videos online. B．Scientific journals.C．History textbooks. D．Soldiers defensive clothes.31．Which of the following best describes Macinley Buston?A．Stubborn. B．Creative.C．Selfless. D．Considerate.DIf you live in southwest Virginia, don’t be surprised at the sight of a drone(无人机) winging its way, doing airborne delivery over your neighborhood.On October 20,2019,wing,an American multinational company, began the most advanced trials of commercial drone delivery in Virginia. Residents can now use a smartphone app to order items from Wing partners such as Sugar Magnolia. A Wing drone never sets down at destinations, instead gently lowering the package with a rope outside the customer's door.Though Wing is the first American company to receive Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)approval to use commercial drones as a widespread service. it is not the only one. On October 22,2019,multinational delivery company UPS, which had also received FAA approval for its drone fleet, announced it would soon begin trial deliveries of goods from health care company CVS. Meanwhile, ridesharing company, Uber, which had partnered with McDonald's, hoped to use its drones to deliver food to hungry customers in San Diego, CA, before the end of 2019. Amazon also plans on testing its trial deliveries of goods in ayet-to-be-determined location in the upcoming months.Every company's drones can carry packages weighing up to five pounds, and the series of trial are hortative, but widespread drone delivery still has many challenges. These include basic issues like finding places for drones to land, reducing noise pollution, and even ensuring the drones don't run into each other while airborne.To help sped up the process, NASA announced the Urban Air Mobility Grand Challenge. The competition challenges airspace service providers to find creative solutions to the issues, so that drone deliveries can become a reality soon. “We are moving fast,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “We want to see by 2028 at least one city--maybe more than one--have the ability to control hundreds of dronedelivery systems. They could be carrying goods, doing thousands of missions every day.”32．What can be inferred from the passage？A．It's impossible to crash other drones during the delivery.B．People can order items from Wing directly with an app.C．More companies are expected to try out their drone delivery.D．Drones deliver items by gently bringing them down to the ground.33．What does the underlined part “hortative” in Paragraph 4 mean？A．Encouraging. B．Relaxing.C．Creative. D．Relative.34．What's Jim Bridenstine's expectation of drone delivery?A．To increase the speed of airborne delivery.B．To see drone delivery systems widely used.C．To be able to control the airline system.D．To provide more solutions to goods delivery.35．Which is the best title for the text?A．The Future of Drone DeliveryB．How to Achieve Drone Delivery in 2028C．The Advantages of Using Drone DeliveryD．Drone Delivery May Become a Reality in the US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。
