AA company has just launched(发起）what it calls “the world's first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the test for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short for Education First Standardized English Test. The company, Education First, is known by the letters EF.It is reported that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many ofmany foreigners are not rich enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. The cost of taking the TOEFL is about 17.5 percent of the average worker's yearly wage.It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it too expensive. What's more, not everyone needs official results from the TOEFL or IELTS—the International English Language Testing System. In the future, it's likely that the government may use the EFSET to test millions of employees and students.Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on one's performance. The EFSET measures all the English learners' levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners' levels from intermediate(中等的）to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free online access to anyone interested in measuring their English level.There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version of the test, which its developers are calling the EFSET Plus. Both versions test only reading and listening skills. It's hopeful that speaking and writing skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate the speaking and writing sections. It's a huge deal for students who are in areas where they can't get to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America.21.Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?A . To learn English well.B . To be admitted to key universities.C . To receive further education in America.D . To find good jobs and earn much money.22.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A .The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.B . Only rich people can take the TOEFL.C . There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world.D . Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL.23.What can we learn about the EFSET?A . It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS.B . Everybody with different English levels can take it for free.C . It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.D . American universities accept the EFSET results for admission.Bheadlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will worsen climate change and threaten biodiversity（生物多样性）.As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called “the lungs of the world”. It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animal s, and 1 million local people. The vast lands of rainforest play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they take in heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbom dioxide (二氧化碳）and produce oxygen, making sure that less carbon is given off, mitigating the effects of climate change. “Any forest destroyed is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity,” Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic. “The shocking threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,” he stressed. “Facing the global climate change, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected,” U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil quickly increased by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago. A total of 71,497 forest fires were recorded in the country in the first eight months of 2019, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018, INPE said. “It’s reported that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased something between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months,” Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, whose drop could have severe results for global climate and rainfall. The size of the area ruined by fires has yet to be determined, but the emergency has transcended（超出）Brazil’s borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan and Bolivian areas.24.

Science and technology.C. Nature and geography.D. Business and culture.COn one occasion, while visiting my parents, I happened to meet the little boy who lived next door. It was obvious that his mother had told him not to come over uninvite.He was standing on the very edge of his yard with an anxious look on his face, seemingly about to burst.My father waved him over and performed the introductions. "Eliot, this is my son, Gary. Gary, meet my little friend, Eliot." To my delight, he reached out his small hand and I accepted the formality(遵守礼节) with a smile.Unlike most children, this teenager was not shy of meeting a stranger. As a matter of fact, he turned out to be quite a chatterbox. Eliot had me laughing as I listened to the excitement in his voice..for, as you know, it was a big deal to find a toad (蟾蜍)! His descriptions were priceless as I asked the obvious questions concerning the capture（捕捉）. He was pleased that I showed interest in his adventure and gladly explained its details.Since Eliot seemed so willing to invest in our budding friendship, I asked him a question, "Do you like banjo music?" He got very excited and answered me with a hearty "Yes!"I took out my banjo from the car, but when I sat next to him and started playing, Eliot looked at me with a puzzled expression. He asked me "What’s that?" in all seriousness.My dad and I smiled. The boy who just "loved" the banjo didn’t recognize that I was holding one and that what I was playing was "banjo music".I realized that his heart was in the right place. Eliot just wanted to please his new friend with that "Yes", thinking it was what I wanted to hear.Well anyway...Eliot likes the banjo for real now. And I like Eliot.28.When Eliot saw the author, he _______.A. came into the yard to greet the authorB. gladly introduced himself to the authorC. showed no interest in visiting a strangerD. was eager to get to know the author29.From the passage we know Eliot was ________.A. seriousB. shyC. talkativeD. dishonest 30.The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph suggests_________.A.

After scanning the long list of Benjamin Franklin’s achievements, one can only come to one conclusion that the American man probably never had a wasted day in his life. When he was 84 years old, he became a successful author, printer, politician, postmaster, inventor, musician, and diplomat.There's much we can leam from Benjarin Frankin's work habits and opinions on life that can increase our own productivity. Here are some ways Franklin overcame lazy, wasted days.Start a group and share knowledge. When Franklin was 21, he was a struggling printer in Philadelphia. To increase his connections and to learn more about his industry, he created a group. The group was in great need of books, but books were expensive. Franklin helped start a library where books were bought and lent to members. This sharing of knowledge, experience, and connections helped Franklin become a famous and respected printer in Philadelphia.Attack opportunities. "To succeed," Franklin w rote,” jump as quickly at opportunities as you can." We can all agree, but when an opportunity comes we often look the other way. It's because the opportunity isn't dressed the way we expect. We often think that the opportunity was only in the form of a golden egg or a million-dollar lottery ticket or a new job offer. But more often than not, the opportunity comes in smaller, less beautiful packages.Time is something in short supply. Franklin wrote“Lost time is never found again." This may sound like it came from the pen of a poet, but it's really an inspirational call to action. Franklin worked, created, and lived knowing that time is scarce. He never put off his work.While Franklin was an able inventor we can be sure that his notebook contained a few unsuccessful ideas . Franklin wrote,“ Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.'32. Benjamin Franklin suceeded in many ways mainly because________.A.he was very clever and popularB.he could make good use of his timeC.he often shared knowledge with othersD.he could do many things at the same time33. The underlined word “ industry”in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.A.writingB. inventionC.musicD.printing34. For many people who want to succeed ，opportunities_________.A.are easy to catch hold ofB. are difficult to see and attackC. are often dressed the way we expectD.always come in the form of a golden egg35.From the last paragraph we can learn__________A.Franklin wrote a lot of famous poemsB. Franklin sometimes wasted timeC.Franklin never met with failuresD.Franklin learned from failures第二节 七选五（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。
