Instead, they have a different mission — cleaning the Datar Beach. Collectively，they have made such a huge difference to the beach that the United Nations has recognized their contributions.“Actually the idea stemmed from my vacation to Bali, the clean beach leaving a great impression on me. After returning, I found our beaches in shambles. During a conversation with my mother, I was complaining about how bad our beaches are compared to beaches in Bali, and my mother just said, 'Don't complain, if you care, just go and clean. and thus'Beach Please'," Malhar said. “It began on September 10, 2017 and since then cleaning the garbage on the beach has become a weekend routine. Currently, there are 25 odd volunteers spending our weekends cleaning the beach.”After cleaning the beach for months, Malhar and his friends realized that it was of a little help and there is no end to this. They needed to contain the source which dumps garbage in the ocean. They found that the Mithi River is being used to dump the industrial waste,construction waste and even domestic waste into the ocean and they decided to also clean the river. Now on Saturday, they clean the Mithi River and on Sunday, they focus on the Datar Beach. In order to make a sustainable （可持续的）difference, they must make people understand that they have to stop dumping garbage into any source. “Awareness, recycling and cleaning up are three steps which can bring a change. I hope people realize it's their duty to keep their surroundings as well as the ocean clean,“ Malhar added.4．What does the underlined phrase “in shambles” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Damp.B．Messy.C．Crowded.D．Abandoned. 5．What do we know about Malhar Kalambe?A．He likes hanging out with his friends.B．He encourages his mother to join him. C．He volunteers to clean the Datar Beach.D．He complains his vacation to Bali to his friends.6．What is the top priority （优先事项）to make the Datar Beach clean continuously? A．Recycling most of domestic waste.B．Calling for people to make a green trip.C．Raising people's awareness of protecting the ocean.D．Seeking for the source of the ocean pollution.7．Which of the following best describes Malhar Kalambe?A．Sympathetic.B．Considerate.C．Outgoing.D．Responsible.If you are one of those who think exercise is a waste of time and of no benefit at all to the body, you might have to have a rethink.Regular physical activity can help protect from some health problems. For instance, exercise controls weight. For the obese （肥胖的），exercise is very important as it helps reduce body fat by building or preserving muscle mass and improving the body's ability to use calories. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity is, the more calories you burn. When exercise is combined with proper nutrition, it can help control weight and prevent obesity, a major risk factor for many diseases. Besides workouts at the gym, your body can benefit from other forms of exercise such as jogging, fast walking, running, playing games.Regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Need an emotional lift or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at thegym or a quick 30-minute walk can help. Exercise stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Exercise gives you a chance to enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy.Regular physical activity is a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you haven't exercised for a long time, have chronic health problems, or you have any concerns. 8．How does exercise help the overweight people?A．It reduces their appetite.B．It works muscles and burns calories.C．It contributes to absorbing proper nutrition.D．It contains a wide range of forms functioning differently.9．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Exercise is likely to reduce depression.B．Outdoor activities benefit people's appearance.C．A 30-minute walk every day can help lose weight.D．Exercise can create some relaxing brain chemicals.10．What's the author's suggestion for someone trying a new exercise project? A．Getting the doctor's opinions.B．Setting some fitness goals. C．Clearing up the concerns.D．Having a medical checkup. 11．Which of the following opinions will the author favour?A．Exercise can consume too much time.B．Nutrition and exercise are equally important.C．You can benefit more from outdoor activities.D．Regular exercise can improve one's overall quality of life.In one of my favorite studies on the meaning of life, researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students were asked to write about their “everyday self" and a third group of students were asked to write about the campusbookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life.The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays. Their assumption (设想)is that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically (真实地)connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday selves or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of meaning of life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life.To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wise-cracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken.Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in our lives comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who are connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others.So，set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that “true self” more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.12．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The process of a study.B．The meaning of life.C．Three groups of students.D．A writing task of evaluating life. 13．What's the finding of the researchers?A．“Everyday self” connects with the campus bookstore.B．More various essays interpret life meaning better.C．The participants with detailed essays have a more meaningful life.D．More “true self” description makes one experience life meaning better.14．What can make you truly connect with others?A．Following values and dreams set by others.B．Being the author of your own life.C．Changing “everyday self” into “true self”.D．Being able to contribute to society. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Connect with Life - Dream Is ValuedB．Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful?C．Be Yourself — Everyone Else Is TakenD．Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself?二、七选五Born after 1996 on the heels of the millennials (千禧一代)，Generation Z （Gen Z）is just entering the workforce. Its members are the first true digital natives, and their ability to adapt to an automating workplace will likely determine their success. “Soft” skills such as intellectual insight, flexibility and creativity will be essential for workers to compete with machines that are growing more technically skilled. ____16____Be an effective strategic communicator. Some employers fear that digital native workers might be too much like the robots they are competing with. ___17___ It’s good communication skills that make them noticeable. Those in technology fields often work remotely or in relative isolation, so they do not always get enough time to sharpen their interpersonal skills. However, Gen Z should not ignore the importance of relationship building, listening, communicating and teamwork.___18___ While most of Gen Z is still in school, they already need to think about how to continually adapt to a fast-changing world. To succeed, they must be realistic about their skills and how desired skill sets will change. For example, graduates might be trained in Microsoft Excel, but a job might require them to learn how to interpret that data.____19____ Nearly half of the Gen Z said they had experienced job burnout in the past year, according to a survey. _____20_____ Workers are at their best when doing something meaningful to them, said Obed Louissaint, vice president of talent at IBM. To avoid burnout, young people should couple finding purpose with taking proper mental breaks and trying to build healthy habits, Louissaint added.A．Be a continuous learner.B．Try to bring life to your office.C．What will make Gen Z workers stand out?D．Find work that gives you a sense of purpose.E．More industry knowledge also equals more money.F．Here are the “soft” skills Gen Z members need to succeed.G．Half said they were considering a job outside their current industry because of it.三、完形填空I love the quiet of late autumn afternoons. I just look out at the skyline with the white clouds ___21___ across the blue sky like marshmallows （棉花糖）.Granny was such an outgoing and optimistic person. ___22___, she lost the ability to walk because of a serious illness last year, and her ___23___ has greatly changed since then.

She found a new home for George so that he could continue to race for a number of years.In September, 2018, George was turned over to the Animal Rescue League (ARL) of Boston. When he arrived at the league’s adoption center in Dedham, he was slightly underweight, and in need of medical care. But, over all, he was in good health, the league said.George recuperated (休养) for a few months in Dedham before being put into foster care. “He was highly intelligent, elegant, well-trained and had clearly known love. He was very engaged with humans,” Cordula Robinson, George’s foster parent, said in the statement.Robinson wanted to help George go home. She contacted animal rescue agencies up and down the East Coast to see if anyone recognized him. To her surprise, someone from New Jersey recognized George as once belonging to Todd Mathieson. He was well known and owned a stable in Connecticut, said Michael DeFina, a spokesman for the ARL. George is notable for his distinctive colors, such as white patches on his hooves (蹄子) that look “like socks,” DeFina said. They went through show photos to confirm George’s identity and contacted his original hostess.Diane Mathieson was “overwhelmed and ecstatic (欣喜若狂)” about the possibility of reuniting with George.After 13 years apart, George was transported to his family in Ocala, Florida, where he will enjoy his retirement. “He seem s to be walking taller,” D iane said.4．Why was George given away by his original family?A. He was a trouble-maker in the community.B. He often got lost for his poor memory.C. The family couldn’t provide enough care.D. His wife had found him a new home.5．What did Cordula Robinson do for George?A. Bring him to the adoption center.B. Help his reunion with the family.C. Take some show photos for him.D. Build an elegant stable for him.6．Who is the owner of George now?A. Todd Mathieson.B. Cordula Robinson.C. Michael DeFina.D. Diane Mathieson.7．What can we infer about George?A. He used to be a race horse.B. He enjoyed his retirement.C. He lost both of his parents.D. He was hard to recognize.CHere’s the list of skiers, who have won four consecutive (连续的) worldchampionships: Nobody.Well, nobody besides Mikaela Shiffrin, who did it last Saturday in Are, Sweden. The Colorado skier, still just 23, is the best story, really, of this sports winter in the slalom (障碍滑雪).She pulled it off, despite an illness that challenged her breathing. Shiffrin told NBC after her win that her mother, Eileen, advised her before her second run: You don’t have to do this.But Shiffrin told herself what she had told herself many times before: “I just need 60 seconds.” So she did it, and she got it. Shiffrin is closing in on her third World Cup overall title. She’s ranked No. 1 on the planet in slalom.In women’s skiing, the mountain is now Shiffrin’s. She’s ear ned it. Those two (and soon three) World Cup overalls; 56 World Cup individual victories; and, oh yeah, right, three Olympic medals, two of them gold. Shiffrin is already considered a serious threat to Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 86 World Cup victories, a nd Lindsey Vonn’s 82, though the 34-year-old surely would have collected more had she not suffered repeated injuries during her career. Of course, Shiffrin may wind up chasing someone else’s mark—Austria’s brilliant Marcel Hirscher, 29, now has 68 World Cu p wins.At the same time, Shiffrin loathes all the talk about the numbers and records. “People see the records and statistics. They are asking for more, more, more…it looks easy, but it isn’t. Nowhere close,” Shiffrin wrote. “What I see is training, sleepl ess nights, pain, doubt, delayed lights, canceled flights, lost luggage, expense, adventure, and some races mixed in there.”That’s what happens when you’re as good as she is. But nobody’s been as good as she is. In a sense, Shiffrin is just getting start ed. It’s very possible she will be at her peak powers when the Winter Olympics arrive in Beijing in 2022.8．What do we know about Mikaela Shiffrin in her recent slalom race?A. She was not in her best physical condition.B. She pulled out of the race in the second run.C. She followed her mother’s advice and succeeded.D. She told herself a one-minute story before the race.9．Whose record of World Cup victories is Mikaela Shiffrin getting close to?A. Eileen Shiffrin’s.B. Ingemar Stenmark’s.C. Lindsey Vonn’s.D. Marcel Hirscher’s.10．Which of the following best explains “loathes” underlined in paragraph 5?A. Summarizes.B. Gives away.C. Dislikes.D. Focuses on. 11．What is the best title for the text?A. Shiffrin Is Moving MountainsB. Shiffrin Is At Her PeakC. The Rise And Fall Of A Colorado SkierD. The Most Popular Winter SportsDA Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks.Engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. A team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces.Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头).“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, whi ch canensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent.Huang said Hanwang’s technology can be used to identify and track people as they move about. He added the system can identify crime suspects, terrorists or make reports or warnings.However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial informati on is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.It was not immediately clear how people were reacting to the new technology. While some have expressed opposition to such tools, many others seem to have showed interest in the new system and accepted it as a way to deal with the current health emergency—the spread of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Huang says he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Where the company is located.B. How the system is developed.C. When the research work started.D. What the collection stands for.13．What is the limitation of the new facial recognition system?A. The poor storage of information.B. The relatively low recognition rate.C. Identifying people with both a mask and sunglasses.D. Tracking the movement of crime suspects and terrorists.14．What attitude does Huang Lei hold towards the new technology?A. Unclear.B. Optimistic.C. Opposed.D. Worried.15. Where is the text most likely from?A. A travel brochure.B. A health magazine.C. A medical paper.D. A science report.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。

And th is stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel---private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views---of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly---from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, a nd so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.31. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because_______.A. It is expensive to travel in spaceB. they would find the possible life in other star systemsC. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD. they want to realize the full potential of tourism32. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A. The gravitational pullB. The special views.C. The relaxation in a bar.D. The space walk.33.

Yanti Turang, a rock band singer-turned-nurse and founder of the nonprofit LearnTolive, is one of them .She is now on the way to Sierra Leone （塞拉利昂）to help save lives .Her mind wanting to be a nurse dated from hurricane Katrina happening in New Orleans 2 yeas ago . Then, Yanti was living there with her band Pocketfoxx . They were on their way home from recording an album in California, when they learned about storm that was about to hit Louisiana's GulfCoast .“I felt, in a way, helpless .”she said .“I felt like I couldn't give or do anything except support people going through it, or the health care workers . And I remember thinking, music’s awesome, I love it, but I think that I need to move on and maybe choose a career where I can actually get in there and help out in a situation like this ." So she packed up her guitar and moved back to her home country, Australia, where she trained in a nursing program for the next two years .Her love of New Orleans drew her back to the state again when she finished the program . However, it wasn't straight to the doctor's office or hospital for Yanti .As she waited for her registration, she worked as a movie nurse . It was on a movie set that Yanti thought of the idea for her nonprofit LearnToLive.She raised $6 .000 in an online campaign .In the last three years, she brought three crews of nurses and aid over to Indonesia and cared for 2,500 patients . This year, LearnToLive is expanding to Laos and soon to South Africa ."It's the course my life was supposed to go,”she said earlier for an intensive Ebola responsetraining24 .

What can we learn about LearnToLive?A . It is based in Sierra Leone .B . It aims to train young nurses .C . It collects money to make movies .D . It provides international medical care .CWhile the arts can’t stop the C0V1D- 19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today , they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos .The arts invite everyone to think in new ways .We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort . Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions （解决）.Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges . In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities .Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos . He composed his Symphony No . 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced . The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to Joy（欢乐颂）.Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces . The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move moreconfidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment . An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future .28 . What value does art have beyond pleasing people' s senses?A . It brings people inner peace .B . It contributes to problem—solving .C . It reduces the possibility ofcrises .D . It deepens understanding ofmusic .29 . What can we learn about Beethoven’s Symphony No . 9?A . It celebrates freedom and unity.B . It aims to show crises and chaos .C . It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D . It is unfinished due to his hearing loss .30 . What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A . Leaving things as they are .B . Making a choice between them .C . Separating them from each other.D . Engaging them in a conversation .31 . Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A . How COVID- 19 changes artB . Essentials of Symphony No . 9C . Moving artfully through crisesD . Joy in the eyes of BeethovenDCarol Dweck, a psychologist at Stanford, conducted a study in twelve different New York City schools . She gave more than 400 fifth graders a relatively easy test consisting of puzzles . After the test, the researcher told the students their score, and provided them with a single line of praise . Half of the kids were praised for their intelligence .“ You must be smart at this, ” the researcher said . The other students were praised for their effort:“ You must have worked really hard .”When Dweck was designing the experiment, she expected the different forms of praise to have a rather modest effect . After all, it was just one sentence . But it soon became clear that the type of compliment given to the fifth graders has a dramatic effect .Then Dweck gave the same fifth graders another test that was designed to be extremely difficult . Both groups made unavoidable mistakes . After the second test, the students were given the option of looking either at the exams of kids who did worse or those who did better. Studentspraised for their intelligence almost always chose to increase their self-esteem (自尊) by comparing themselves with lower-performance students .In contrast, kids praised for their hard work were more interested in the higher-scoring exams .They wanted to understand their mistakes, to learn from their errors, to figure out how to do better.Praising kids for their intelligence encourages them to “look”smart, which means that they shouldn't risk making a mistake . And this fear of failure can actually prevent learning . Unless we experience the unpleasant symptoms of being wrong, directing our attention to the very thing we'd like to ignore, the mind will never revise its models .We’ll keep on making the same mistakes, trading self-improvement for self-esteem .Samuel Beckett had the right attitude: “Ever tried .Ever failed . No matter. Try Again . Fail again . Fail better.”32 . What is the focus of Dweck’s study?A . The development of students’self-esteem .B . The difference in students’ intelligence .C . The effects of different types of praise .D . The students’ performance in puzzle tests .33 . What does the underlined word “compliment” in paragraph 2 mean?A . Puzzles .B . Praise .C . TestsD . Research .34 . Why do students praised for intelligence compare themselves with those who did worse?A . To improve their self-respect .B . To figure out how to do better.C . To understand their own mistakes .D . To push themselves to work harder.35 . What can we infer from the last paragraph?A . Being smart is disadvantageous .B . Learning from mistakes is necessary.C . Trying only leads to more failures .D . Making the same mistakes is unavoidable .第二节（共5 小题；每小题3 分，满分15 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。

He recorded the slowest men's 100m freestyle ever in the Olympics, swimming so slowly that he almost drowned, but he left a deep impression on the audience.As Moussambani prepared for Sydney, he conducted most of his training in a hotel pool, which was only 13 meters long and fell far short of Olympic level. He spent time in rivers and lakes. Moreover, his coaching came from fishermen, who tried to adjust Moussambani's arm and leg movements to prevent sinkingUpon his arrival in Sydney, Moussambani was struck by the sights of the foreign city and the size of the Olympic Village. But Moussambani was overwhelmed by the Olympic pool, which was surrounded by seating for 17,500 audience. "When I saw the swimming pool for the first time, I was so scared. The pool was so big for me," he said.Of three swimmers, the other two swimmers were disqualified for starting the race too early, leaving a frightened Moussambani as the only man in his race. Although he maintained a consistent speed during the opening section, he couldn't be in a harmonious breathing pattern. In the final half of the race, he struggled to stay afloat so much that those on the sidelines（两侧场外区域）considered jumping in and helping him out of the water. Finally, Moussambani touched the wall, stopping the clock in 1：52：72.Of course, there was no medal awarded to Moussambani. But he was treated as a celebrity for his inspiring swim. "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering, but fighting well." The description fits Moussambani perfectly. Anyone can be inspired by what Moussambaniachieved because we've all been where he was. On his own, out of his depth, and just trying to stay afloat.4．What can we know about Moussambani?A．He was the first swimmer from Africa.B．He practiced in standard swimming pools.C．He set the slowest. time in men's 100m freestyle D．He accepted training from professional coaches.5．What does the underlined word "overwhelmed" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Amazed.B．Excited C．Embarrassed D．Disappointed. 6．Why did people consider helping him out of the water?A．He broke the rules.B．He was disqualifiedC．He seemed nearly drowned D．He kept a consistent speed.7．Which of the following best describes Moussambani?A．Caring and humorous.B．Aggressive and demanding. C．Generous and hardworking.D．Persevering and determined.Researchers from Purdue University have developed a new white paint that can reflect over 95 percent of sunlight, which can cool the surface even lower than the surrounding temperature. Painted on a building, the new paint could help cut cooling costs and energy use.Many different reflective cooling paints have been developed over the years, but they all have their disadvantages. For the new study, the Purdue researchers developed a new method—using calcium carbonate（碳酸钙）fillers, which are much richer, cheaper, and absorb less ultraviolet（紫外线的）light. And the new reflective cooling paint can give off more sunlight—reflecting 95.5 percent of the light that strikes it. That's better than many of the other paints in development, which manage between 80 and 90 percent, although it falls short of the record holder—the Teflon coating, which reflects 98 percent of light.The team tested the new coating outdoors over two days, and showed that under direct sun- light it remained 1. 7℃ below the surrounding temperature. In another set of tests, the researchers painted some parts of a pattern with the new paint, and others with a regular white paint of the same thickness. Using a special camera, they could see the pattern clearly, thanks to the difference in temperature between the two materials.The team says that the new paint could not only help cool buildings, but prevent outdoorelectrical systems from overheating. But to ensure that it is commercially practicable, the researchers next plan to investigate how well it lasts out in the environment."The cost of our paint may be comparable to other commercial paints or even lower than them," says Xiulin Ruan, an author of the study. "The key is to ensure the reliability of the paint so that it is workable in long-term outdoor applications."8．What's the advantage of the new paint?A．Absorbing enough sunlight.B．Developing new energy C．Lowering cooling costs.D．Improving electrical system9．How did the researchers study the effect of the new paint?A．By analyzing special pictures.B．By conducting field tests.C．By collecting temperature data D．By assessing its nature.10．What can we infer from the result of the research?A．The paint still needs testing B．The paint can be used for long. C．The paint is incomparable.D．The paint has reliable performance 11．What is the text mainly about?A．A new white paint helps cool building B．Researchers lower the costs of paints C．A regular paint solves heat consumption.D．Environment-friendly paints come into market.Sales of electric vehicles（EVs）grew by 40 percent last year worldwide. In the US, nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric. Almost 100 pure-electric vehicles are set to be launched by the end of 2024. Many manufacturers, including GM, Jeep, and Volvo, have promised to offer fully electric lists before this decade is done.Though some EVs are still eye-wateringly expensive, plenty of other EVs are even more affordable. When assessing the cost of an EV, keep in mind that many states offer additional buying payment if you're switching to an electric vehicle. Some models will even qualify you for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. Then there are the long-term savings. A typical EV owner spends less than a traditional car owner on vehicle services. One reason is that EVs don't have transmissions or clutches, two of the costliest parts to repair.EVs go without the classic vroom（加速时发出的呜呜声）we expect to hear when we floor it. That quietness can catch pedestrians off guard and strikes some drivers as terrible. That's why several electric automakers have turned to sound designers to copy these desiredengine noises.You can run an electric car through a car wash without worry. The water will not damage any of the electrical components or the battery because these systems are specially sealed to prevent water entry. What you do need to watch out for, however, is extreme cold or heat. Both will affect the battery and reduce an EV's range.While EVs produce far fewer emissions than conventional cars do, they aren't without environmental influence. Coal is still burned to create the electricity that charges them. And EV production is emission intensive（密集排放型）. So power systems need to become carbon-free and EV batteries need to fully become recyclable before EVs can be truly emission-free.12．What can we know about EVs from Paragraph 1?A．Their trend is uncertain.B．Their future is promising.C．Their producers are declining.D．Their purest ones are launched. 13．Which aspect encourages people to buy EVs?A．Lack of expensive parts.B．Long-term free repair feesC．The government's support.D．The additional buying payment. 14．What should people pay special attention to when driving the EVs?A．Quiet passers-by.B．The water damage.C．The extreme temperature D．Batteries' short life.15．What can be a suitable title of the passage?A．Recyclable Electrical Vehicles Win MarketsB．Driving Electrical Vehicles Will Be CommonC．Electrical Vehicles Are Within Reach in the USD．Keep Current with Facts About Electric Vehicles二、七选五How to Save Water During a Drought?The drought is happening because of climate change. California just had its driest year in a century. Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a statewide drought emergency, asking all Californians to save water in every way possible. ___16___ , though you can’t save California on your ownSmall things can add up. You’ve probably heard these tips before, but consider this a refresher course: Don’t let the water running while you wash dishes in the sink or washing, brushing or shaving. ___17___ . Water outdoor plants in the morning or evening, so you don’t lose as much water to evaporation in the midday sun.Replace old appliances. How old is your toilet? If it’s from before 1990, it could be using up to 6 gallons per flush. Newer toilets may use as little as 1.28 gallons or less.___18___ . Upgrading your dishwasher and washing machine and any other water-intensive appliance will also pay savings dividends(红利), in both water and energy costs.___19___ . Keep an eye on your water bill. If it creeps higher than normal without a good reason, investigate whether you have a leak somewhere.

Each year in late December a massive amount of plastic packaging is thrown worldwide, most of which goes to landfill. Lithuania will do less damage than many countries. though. The county now recycles at a record level. Almost three -quarters of plastic packaging waste was recycled in 2017. the highest in Europe The EU average was 42%. and the worst performers. including Finland and France, under 30%.Much of Lithuania's success is due to a deposit refund scheme(押金制)，introduced in 2016. Customers pay €0.10 extra when baying drinks containers. After use, these can be fed into vending machines in shops. from whose mouth the deposit comes out. The machines’ contents are sent directly to recycling centers. By the end of 2017. 92% of all bottles and cans sold were being returned. close to 3 times the amount as before.The Lithuanian government says the scheme has started a potential love for recycling in is citizens. Nearly 90% of Lithuanians have used the machines at least once. The eagerness of Lithuanian recyclers may come no from a love of the earth but from a low net worth. Lithuania has the second-most unequal income in Europe. A tenth of the population live on less than €245 (S272)a month. In big cities it is common to see people picking recyclable items out of bins to take to the machines.Less litter and money for people who need it seems like a win-win. But it might not be best forthe environment in the long run. In Germany -where a similar deposit refund scheme has been in place since 2003- the earnings from keeping the deposits from unreturned bottles seem 1o have discouraged producers form switching to more sustainable packaging.24. How much packaging waste did Lithuania recycle in 2017?A. Under 30%.B. Above 42%.C. About 74%.D. Nearly 90%25. What do we know about the deposit refund scheme?A The recycled bottles are sold to producers.B. The amount of bottles increased 3 times.C. Customers spend much more money on drinks.D. Recyclers get a refund from the vending machine.26. Why do Lithuanians enjoy recycling?A. They love the earth.B. Some of them are short of money.C. They are environmental protectors.D. The government promotes recycling.27. Which word best describes the author's attitude to the scheme?A. Objective.B. Tolerant.C. Positive.D. Conservative,CIn a grey office building of Helsinki a social worker is meeting six elderly people from around town for lunch- via tablets on heir kitchen table. For the next half-hour she talks to them about their day and reminds them to have something to drink，because dehydration is particularly dangerous for older people.The virtual lunch group is part of Helsinki's remote-care program for its elderly. While many counties with large elderly populations are building new care homes. Finland is not planning to do so and, instead, is looking after people in their own homes for longer. The guiding principle in Finland is that for anyone, no matter what their age. “home is best”.In Helsinki's home -care program. about 4, 000 old people are equipped with various safety devices. These include wristbands with GPS, a fall detector and a phone line linked to care workers. who monitor the wearer' s location on their computer screens. Most of the old people are too weak to walk about much, so they rarely leave their homes. But if they venture out in the middle of the night, care workers are to find them. Local tech companies have developed systemsthat use a network of motion sensors to gather data on things like how much a person moves about, visits the bathroom or opens the fridge. Not opening the fridge as much, for example, is a sign that memory problems may be getting worse.Technology sometimes misfires. Wristbands give out the wrong location, setting off false alarms. A sensor may fail because Grandpa covers a towel over it. Some elderly people forget to charge their tablets. Such problems can be fixed. The biggest gain from technology may be that it makes it easier to keep old people fit enough to remain in their own homes for longer. This is much cheaper than an institution, and usually nicer, too.28. What does the underlined word “dehydration” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Talking less.B. Eating alone.C. Watching their tablets.D. Losing too much water.29. Why does Finland carry out the “remote-care program”?A. To build more lunch groups.B. To make the old stay at home.C. To guide elderly people to care homes.D. To care for the old in their own homes.30. What is the function of motion sensors?A. To find the missing old people.B. To monitor the wearer’s location.C. To collect the wearer' 8 activity data.D. To check people's memory problems.31. What may cause technology to fail?A. Grandpa uses a towel.B. The tablets are out of power.C. Wristbands send out an alarm.D. The elderly forget their location.DInnovation(创新) comes from environments where ideas can connect. So what kind of environment does an epidemic(传染病) create when it comes to quickening innovation? This is the very question a new information chart from Top Masters looks to answer. According to the report, ground- breaking innovations have come despite the tragic effete of epidemics throughout history. This is a timely report because people are coming up with some innovative ideas to address many of the challenges brought on by COVID-19.As epidemics go, the Black Death of the 1300% was extremely shocking. The plague(瘟疫) as it is also known, wiped out up to 60% of the population in Europe. According to the report, it was responsible for changing the economic and social structure of Europe and the creation of a middle class.There were other outbreaks of the plague in England later on. In 1592, London faced an outbreak that shut down theaters for six months, This led Shakespeare to start writing poetry to make a living. And it was during this time that he wrote Venus and Adonis, and The Rape of Lucre. Another plague in 1606 also closed the theatres in London, and this time Shakespeare wrote King Lear and Macbeth.In the US, the Boston smallpox epidemic of 1721 led to the spread of variolation(天花接种) which was responsible for reducing the death rate from 14% to2%，2s well as the first steps towards vaccines.COVID-19 is causing serious damage around the world. And although the death rate is nowhere close, the economic impact has been overwhelming. On the negative side, it has highlighted may of the shortcoming in the healthcare industry as nurses and doctors battled virus unfortunately underequipped.With increased connectivity and technology, innovators around the world have responded by making the equipment that healthcare workers desperately need Today’s innovators are addressing ventilator(呼吸机) shortages by using 3D printers and designing simpler ventilators; companies are making washable and reusable masks; app are tracking the virus and fighting the spread of misinformation.32. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. Epidemics can promote creative ideas.B. Creative ideas can influence epidemics.C. Innovation exists in any environment.D. Epidemics have more negative effects on the environment.33. According to the passage. what fete did epidemics have in history?A. The death rate was decreased.B. European economy was improved.C. Shakespeare changed his writing focus.D. The Boston smallpox killed 14% of the population.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The COVID- 19 will soon be wiped out.B. Medical workers are making equipment.C. Healthcare equipment has been made in large quantities.D. Innovators rely on technology to solve medical problems.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Epidemics Speed Up InnovationB. Innovation Changes the EconomyC. Epidemics Damage the EnvironmentD. Innovators Prevent COVID-19第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
