Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

Within seconds, they were 30 to a typical café in Seoul, South Korea and were encouraged to begin a situational conversation with Korean peers, whose statements and questions had been 31This is the way the innovative world of language 32 is going as virtual-reality learning videos enter the classroom and provide students with the closest thing to real-life situation that they could possibly get."A lot of literature says that it is really important to be exposed to the language and culture in order to succeed in language learning," said Song, a lecturer of Korean whose papers focused on comparing a face-to-face andvirtual-world environment for 33 second-language learners' interactional competence. "But technically, it would be bard for students to go to Korea and learn Korean there, so I wanted to bring that setting to the classroom so that students can 34 it with the virtual-reality glasses and their cellphones."Song is one of the first instructors in the university's School of Humanities' Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication to incorporate the technology in her classroom.In recent years, 35 for Korean language classes at Rice has doubled to more than 100 students per year. A key driver, according to Song, is South Korea's export of pop culture, fueled by the popularity of Korean pop（K-pop）music and videos on YouTube and serialized TV K-dramas.Other virtual-reality scenarios that Song's students engage in include shopping in a supermarket, traveling on the subway and visiting a doctor's office."This local setting…really gives it the real-life situation experience of learning language and culture," said Siyu Geng, a senior 36 in mathematical economic analysis."The world is getting into a multilingual and multicultural era," Song said. "In this time, it's very useful to learn foreign language and culture to become 37 professionals in this linguistically and culturally diverse world." III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Pill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.By 2030, 60 percent of the world's population is expected to live in big cities. How all those people live, and what their lives are like, will 38 important choices leaders make today and in the coming years.Technology has the power to help people live in communities that are more 39 to their needs and that can actually improve their lives. For example, Beijing, troubled by air pollution, is testing a 23-foot-tall air 40 that cleans up smog, filters the bad particles（微粒）and releases clear air.This isn't a vision of life in the family comedy The Jetsons. It's real urban communities responding in real-time to changing weather, times of day and citizen needs. These efforts can cover entire communities. They can vary from monitoring traffic to keeping cars moving efficiently or measuring air 41 to warn residents when pollution levels climb.Using data and electronic sensors in this way is often 42 as building "smart cities," which are the subject of a major push to improve how cities function. In part a response to unreasonable infrastructure（基础设施）design and urban planning of the past, smart cities 43 real-time monitoring, analysis and improvement of city decision-making. The results, supporters say, will improve efficiency, environmental sustainability and citizen engagement.Smart city projects are big investments that are supposed to drive social 44 Decisions made early in the45 determine what exactly will change. But most research and planning regarding smart cities is driven by the technology, 46 the needs of the citizens. Little attention is given to the social, policy and organizational changes that will be required to ensure smart cities are not just technologically comprehensive but intelligently 47 to their residents' needs. Design will make the difference between smart city projects offering great prospect or actually increasing or even widening the existing gaps in unequal ways their cities serve residents.A key 48 of smart cities is that they create efficiency. Well-designed technology tools can 49 government agencies, the environment and residents. Smart cities can improve the efficiency of city services by finding ways to save money and streamlining workers' responsibilities. The results can provide higher-quality at lower cost.38.

A. represent B. exhaust C. benefit D. approveSection BDirections: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.（A）A culture that values achievement and progress will discourage people from "wasting" time. In religious societies, customs specify times of the day, week, or year for prayer and religious celebrations. If an individual tries to make an appointment during a sacred holiday, he or she could unknowingly offend a religious person. Social manners determine appropriate times for visit, meetings, and even phone calls.Punctuality is important in American business, academic and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for being late to business meetings. Of course, it was not always possible to be punctual. Social and business manners also provide rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.Time is tangible; one can "gain time", "spend time", "waste time", "save time", or even "kill time"! The treatment of time as a possession influences the way time is carefully divided. Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. Visitors who "drop by" without prior notice may interrupt their host's personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors "dropping by". To accommodate other people's schedules. Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.50. Who are considered reliable and responsible according to the passage?A. People who make appointments during sacred holidays.B. People who always have good plans and save time.C. People who would not like to disturb othersD. People who are punctual for appointments51. The word "tangible" in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by___________ according to the passage.A. limitedB. flexibleC. valuableD. material52. Which of the following statements about American social life is TRUE?A. Americans treat time so carefully as to bear unexpected interruption.B. Americans visit their friends without noticing them in advance.C. Americans prefer being visited to being called on the telephone.D. Americans make business plans and social engagements beforehand.53. What is this passage mainly concerned with?A. How Americans have a future orientation.B. How Americans are influenced by their religion.C. How time is regulated and perceived in the US.D. How achievement and progress are valued in the US.（B）Top Scientists Take SidesFamous Inducers（Experiment> ）Gregor Mendel（1822-1884）Mendel spent years recording variations in theappearance of peas and other living things. By analysingthis data, he identified mathematical laws that governgenetics.Alexander Fleming（1881-1955）While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that breadmold（霉）could kill bacteria harmful to human health.This led him to discover penicillin, the first effectiveantibiotic.Ernest Rutherford（1871-1937）During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energeticparticles could pass easily through thin metal foil（箔）.From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: theFamous Deducers（Theory> Experiment）Isaac Newton（1643-1727）Inspired by the motion of falling objects（but probablynot an apple!）Newton proposed that all objects attracteach other. Only later did he perform calculations toprove that his idea, "universal gravitation," was true.Democritus（c. 460-370 B.C. ）Based on philosophical principles, Democritus arguedthat a material cannot be divided into smaller piecesforever; he called its smallest possible unit an "atom."Democritus had no means to test his theory. But laterexperimenters proved atoms are real.Alfred Wegener（1880-1930）atom is mostly empty space. Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents,Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth's landmasses began as a single, giant continent. Over manyyears, many disciplines including geology andfossilology would finally prove that his theory of"continental drift" is accurate.54. Which of the following best define "Inducers" and "Deducers" according to the poster?A. Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories.B. Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories.C. Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories.D. Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference.55. Which of the following is True according to the poster?A. Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming.B. Newton proposed the idea "universal gravitation" by observing the falling of apples.C. It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic.D. Alfred Wegener created the theory of "continental drift" after he found rich evidence.56. Where can this poster most probably be seen?A. In a university lecture.B. In a physics textbook.C. In a science magazine.D. In an advertisement.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. In fact, they tended to return to the way they felt before they became rich.B. Nowadays people look to technology as an alternative source of satisfaction.C. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.D. You can't buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit it, some researchers said.E. The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment.F. An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing and reliable provide a resource that drives future happiness.Can Happiness Be Bought?There is a Web site called the "World Database of Happiness". It combines and analyzes the results of hundredsof surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.57 it is quite common to say that money can't buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. 58 Previously contented people continue to be contented, while those who were miserable before sink back into misery.If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. 59 The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.60 People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web site's research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.第Ⅱ卷（共26分）IV.

As a species,ginkgo(银杏）trees, which enjoy a reputation as "The Tree that Time Forgor", have existed relatively unchanged for 200 million years.While scientists have revealed the mysteries of the tree's long life, it won't help humans soon.Scientists in China examined the genetic component of very young ginkgo trees,comparing samples between several hundred and a thousand years old.___16___The scientists also found that, unlike other plants, ginkgo genes with regard to aging do not automatically become active at a certain stage in their life cycle.___17___This explains why old ginkgo trees produce as many seeds as young ones and how they continue to grow wide for as long as they live.Furthermore,ginkgo trees are born with protective biochemical characteristics,in the form of hormones, antioxidants, and bactericides.___18___Also, they have evolved adaptations that enable them to resist pests and climate extremes.___19___Over time,weather and other factors limit upright growth and cause leaves to die.Yet,even as this aging occurs, the cell-reproducing system of the gingko tree remains active, maintaining healthy growth.Growth typically starts slowing down after 200 years, but the trees remain healthy.Each year, they renew their parts, adding new wood,leaves, roots, and reproductive organs.In theory,gingko trees shouldlive forever.___20___A. Of course,these trees do age, to some extent.B. Their immune systems were found to be similar.C. That is, ginkgo trees have no genetic program for death.D.

Scotland's schools operate a Curriculum(课程) for Excellence which provides knowledge and skills to all nursery, primary and secondary schooling between the ages of 3 - 18. All 3- and 4-year-old children in Scotland have access to a free nursery place. Formal primary education begins at approximately 5 years old and lasts for 7 years. During their secondary education, children in Scotland study Standard Grades, or Intermediate(中级的) qualifications between the ages of 13 and 16 . The school leaving age is 16, after which students may choose to remain at school for one or two years to study for Higher Grade or Advanced Higher qualifications. Then they can have further education by attending colleges or universities.There are fifteen Scottish universities, some of which are among the oldest in the world. These include the University of St Andrews, the University of Glasgow, the University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh—many of which are ranked among the best in the UK. Proportionally, Scotland had more universities in QS' World University Rankings' top 100 in 2012 than any other nation. Also, the country produced 1% of the world's published research with less than 0.1% of the world's population. Scotland’s University Courts are the only bodies in Scotland authorized to award degrees.Besides Scotland's universities, Further and Higher Education is provided by 43 colleges as well.Colleges offer National Certificates, Higher National Certificates, and Higher National Diplomas. These Group Awards, alongside Scottish V ocational（职业的）Qualifications, aim to ensure Scotland's population has the appropriate skills and knowledge to meet workplace needs. In 2014, research reported by the Office for National Statistics found that Scotland was the most highly educated country in Europe and among the most well-educated in the world in terms of higher education attainment.24. What do we know about Scottish education?A. Students can go to university directly after finishing Standard Grades.B. Students of all ages receive free education.C. A university student is at least 17 years old.D. Only knowledge is taught at schools.25. The underlined word “proportionally” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. Considering Scotland’s populationB. regardless of Scotland’s historyC. in terms of the number of universitiesD. despite its education system26. Scottish college awards and vocational qualifications serve to ________.A. improve the employmentB. award the students with degreesC. prepare the workforce with proper skillsD. compete with universities home and abroad27. The purpose of the text is to ________.A. compareB. introduceC. advertiseD. persuadeCTo be financially secure and spiritually pleased, a man who has an occupation ought to have two or three hobbies. It tends to make people laugh by saying: “I will develop hobbies when I am retired.” Such a promise is like a bubble which will burst in the end, leaving pleasure forever beyond. On the other side , if a man is only interested in acquiring knowledge and abilities irrelevant to his daily work, it is also hard to get true pleasure in the long run.Broadly speaking, hobbies for those who have jobs should be practical. For example, it is impractical for a construction worker, after a hard week’s manual labor, to develop the interest of playing football on Saturday afternoon. It is also unlikely for a politician or a business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to attend drama courses at the weekend.It may also be said that laborers are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work is everything and pleasure just exists in work. The former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring them money, not only as the means of livelihood, but as a driving force for pleasure beyond their work. But for the second class, the working hours are never long enough. Each day is enjoyed like a holiday, and when real holidays come, they see them as interruptions. To both classes, the need of changing the angle of viewing work and pleasure is essential. Those who find it hard to enjoy their work are not fully enjoying the world they live in. However, it is more urgent for those whose work is their all pleasure to drive the work occasionally off their minds and develop hobbies.28. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Pleasure is acquired by enjoying work and hobbiesB. To relax one should broaden his knowledge in other fieldsC. The best choice for a person is having three hobbiesD. Pleasure lies in how much one is involved in other fields29. Which hobby do you recommend to a software programmer?A. Playing Chinese chessB. Writing poemsC. Learning watercolor paintingD. Joining in Mobike riding30. Which can substitute the underlined word in paragraph 3?A. working hoursB. real holidaysC. means of livelihoodD. drama courses31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Holidays and InterruptionsB. Hobbies and RelaxationC. Work and PleasureD. Manual Work and Brain WorkDTiredness, coughing, a runny nose and a sore throat—among all sicknesses there is probably none more common than the flu (流感), which we all get now and then. However, bird flu is a completely different story.In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shanghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.The “H” and “N” in the virus’ name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any change of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and don’t normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadn’t developed an immunity (免疫力) against it.But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult to keep track of the disease.The good news is that there’s so far no sign that the virus is spreading from person to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you eat or prepare food, and they also suggest avoiding contact with birds or their eggs.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. The H5N1 bird flu turned out to have something to do with the SARS epidemic.B. The name, H7N9 bird flu, shows that there have been new mutations of the proteins in the virus.C. Most of the mutations of the proteins in the bird flu virus are harmful to both birds and humans.D. More than 600 people across the world died from the H5N1 bird flu in 2003.33. With the example of the SARS epidemic in Paragraph 5, the author intends to.A. introduce where the SARS virus came fromB. inform us of the harmful effects of the SARS epidemic ten years agoC. show the horrible effects an animal influenza virus can have once it spreads to humansD. compare the differences between the SARS epidemic and the H7N9 bird flu34. What makes the H7N9 bird flu more frightening than the H5N1 bird flu according to the text?A. It doesn’t sicken birds and thus can spread unnoticed.B. It can spread from person to person.C. It affects a greater number of birds.D. It can cause severe sickness in birds.35. What are people advised to do to protect themselves against the H7N9 bird flu?a. To get vaccinated for the disease.b. To keep away from birds and their eggs.c. To stop eating chickens and ducks.d. To avoid meeting with sick people.e. To wash hands thoroughly and regularly.A. a, bB. c, dC. b, eD. a, e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。
