But what would we do if we lost our family?I want to share with you a touching film about an Indian child who loses his loved ones.The main character in the 2016 Australian film Lion is a child named Saroo. When he is 6 years old, he follows his brother Guddu to a job, but gets lost. Saroo ends up in a new city and is adopted(收养) by a kind Australian family.However, one day Saroo is reminded of his original (原生的) family. He knows immediately that he must find out as much about them as he can, so he tries to recall all that he can remember.Lion is the most moving film that I have ever seen. When I saw the young Saroo trying to help his brother while they worked on a construction site (建筑工地) at such a young age, I was amazed.In today’s society, the poor are always looked down upon (看不起). But in the eyes of young Saroo, I saw great courage and kindness that made me think differently. He has great qualities (品质) that help him live in the strange city where he finds himself.When Saroo sees that people are kind he rewards (回报) them with the sweetest smiles and loves them with all his heart. Saroo’s goodness, I believe, allows him to live a happy life with his Australian foster (收养) family.It is really hard for Saroo to get together with his original family again. He can’t even remember the name of his hometown. It takes him days to find the real one. In fact, he has to go through every possible place he can find on Google Maps.I’m deeply impressed by Saroo’s determination (决心). It is why I cried at the moment when he finally found his mother.Lion is full of moving and impressive details. There are so many that I can only mention a few of them here. But what stands out most to me is Saroo’s finding his original family, and the fact that his search doesn’t stop him from loving his foster family.I want to recommend (推荐) this film to everyone. See it and you’ll come to understand so much about family and love.26．What might Saroo’s life be like according to Paragraph 2?A. Easy.B. Hard.C. Relaxing.D. Happy. 27．What can we learn from the passage?A. While Saroo’s brother was working, Saroo played games outside.B. Saroo made people think that the poor are always looked down upon nowadays.C. It was easy for Saroo to find his hometown because of his good memory.D. Saroo kept loving his foster family after knowing his original family.28．Why does the writer write this passage?A. To recommend readers a touching film.B. To help Saroo find his original family.C. To make some money.D. To help readers understand what love is.BBetty was familiar with Hopelink’s Carnnation food bank, but that didn’t make it easier for her to take that first step inside when she found she needed help a few years ago.“I sat out in the car for a long time before I finally went in,” Betty says. “But I knew I had to do it.”Betty and her husband lived together happily, but when her husband passed away in 2008, everything changed. Soon, Betty realized she needed to ask for help.“When Dave was still alive, I never thought it would happen,” she says. “I never really thought I would have to go to a food bank, I thought I’d be able to keep my job longer, and I thought we’d have more money to save.”Things didn’t work out that way, and finally, Betty found herself in need of help, sitting in her car outside Hopelink, working up the courage to take that first step.Once inside, she felt welcome immediately.“A dear lady - I think she was a volunteer - came up to me, and I don’t know whether she saw that I was scared ... I think so; I feel that way,” Betty says. “And she said, ‘you know, there’s a lot of us that have to come here, I went into the food bank, and it was wonderful. I learned there were other people having a hard time ... it wasn’t just me. I felt more relaxed.”Betty started visiting the food bank twice a month, and began to look forward to it. It gave her a chance to get out of the house and dress up a bit - often in her favorite color pink - and meet other people and check in with the regular volunteers.Hopelink has helped Betty stay healthy and independent in her later years, and knowing that someone cares means the most to her.“I appreciate Hopelink, I really do,” Betty says. “They’ve helped me in a million ways since Dave died. And without them, I don’t know what I would do. Without the food bank, I’m not sure I could make it. I know I couldn’t.”Since 1971, Hopelink has served homeless and low-income families and individuals in King and Snohomish counties, providing stability(稳定) and helping people get the skills and knowledge they need to exit poverty for good.29．It wasn’t easy’ for her to __________ when she needed help a few years ago.A. take that first step into the food bankB. buy fresh food in the food bankC. be a volunteer in the food bankD. stay beautiful and independent30．Why did the volunteer said ‘there’s a lot of us that have to come here”?A. To complain (抱怨) that she was very busy every day.B. To show that she was sorry for the poor.C. To show that she was also in need of help.D. To make her less nervous by comforting (安慰) her.31．Later on, Betty __________ to go to the food bank.A. refusedB. hopedC. looked forD. forgot32．The underlined word “appreciate” probably means __________.A. am thankful forB. am careful aboutC. am regretful (后悔的) for D am worried aboutCWhen Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather or paper, together with music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), it tells us about folklore (民间传说) and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.Shadow puppetry is about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.Puppet- makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving (雕刻), and painting, according to Wang. Carving is the most difficult part.“We have a special carving technique (技巧) — moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.” It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick (砖块) to make her left hand strong while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated (复杂的) steps make it hard to hand down this kind of folk art,” she said.But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series Huyao Xiaohongniang (《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a live streaming performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are seldom seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more vivid. It became popular among young people.Wang also plays an important role in helping the shadow puppets spread across the world. In 2017, she helped the famous cosmetics brand (化妆品牌) Innis free with its package design for the new year. In 2018, she was invited to design the souvenirs (纪念品) for Burberry. She also created the cartoon character Arad with DNF the same year. What she has done makes more and more people around the world get to know this traditional folk art from China.33．How does Shadow puppetry pass down culture and customs?A. By teaching people to make shadow puppets.B. By performing historical music and singing.C. By telling some interesting stories.D. By telling some famous stories in history.34．According to Wang, why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry?A. It’s difficult to learn to make puppets.B. This art is only known in a small county.C. It requires people who are strong enough to perform the art.D. The stories it tells are too old-fashioned for modern audience. .35．What is paragraph 6 about?A. Wang’s favorite shadow puppets.B. Improvements in making puppets.C. The efforts Wang made to spread this art.D. The difficulties in performing this art online.36．What do we know from the story?A. Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.B. Wang enjoys getting people interested in this art.C. Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.D. Wang is working on a cartoon series (系列) about making shadow puppets.DStill in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into thesuitcases. Earlier that evening, I received a call that my brother was killed in a car crash, “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were moving from New York to Seattle. Our house was in a mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere.I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again. I didn’t know what I should do first at the moment.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Peter, He and his wife Donna lived nearby.“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said,I asked him to repeat.“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you, I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me a1l your shoes.”I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Peter got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.When we returned to clear the dishes, Peter had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there’s anything I can do ...” Instead, I try to think of something that man needs, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel (养狗场), or house-sitting (看房子) during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed help?” I reply, from the bottom of my heart, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”37．The writer didn’t know what to put into the suitcases because __________.A. She couldn’t do it on her ownB. She was too sad to do anythingC. She wanted to take everything to SeattleD. She was not good at housework 38．Which is the right order of what happened in the story?①The writer washed the clothes first.②They left for the airport.③The writer’s brother was killed in a car crash.④Peter came to clean the shoes.⑤The couple bathed the children.A. ③①⑤④②B. ③④⑤①②C. ①③④⑤②D. ③④①⑤②39．If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?A. Call her friend to ask what she can do.B. Look after her friend’s young children.C. Take her friend’s dog to the boarding kennel.D. Offer her friend house sitting during the funeral.40．Which sentence best tells the main idea of this story?A. One person’s loss is another’s gain.B. An act of kindness is often rewarded.C. A near neighbor is better than a brother far off.D. Do something meaningful to those in need.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Do you use emojis (表情符号) on your smartphone? One of the nice things about emojis is that people from all over the world can understand them. 41Take the basic smiley face emoji as an example. At first, I thought it was just a normal, friendly smile. 42 It can mean that someone is looking down on you or even laughing at you. I read online that although the emoji is smiling, its eyes are looking downward, which makes it look like a fake smile (假笑).Or what about the smiling face with a waving hand? 43 But actually, Chinese people use this emoji to show that they don’t want to talk to someone — the hand is waving “goodbye”, as in “never talk to me again”.44 One of my favorite emojis is the “cry-laugh” emoji.

Ihey help slow down and clean uppolluted water from the land and provide habitat (栖息地) for animals. You wil find wetlands in areas where water covers the soil or is near the ground surface for part or all of the year. Sometimes a wetland wil actually appear dry at certain times of the year! You can often tell if something is a wetland (40) the types of plants that are growing in it. Most of these plants, like cattails and swamp roses, are adapted to living in the water and can't live in dry soil for very long.Wetlands as sponges (海绵)The sponge will (41) a lot of water before it slowly starts to leak. The same happens in a wetland. A wetland will trap water that flows into it during a rainstorm and will (42) release the water later. This helps to prevent flooding.Wetlands as filters (滤纸)After being trapped by the wetland sponge, polluted water moves slowly through a wetland, finding its way around plants and through small spaces in the soil. While it moves, the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. By the time the water leaves the wetland it is (43) than it was when it entered. This is why many people think of wetlands as nature's filter system. Wetlands as habitatWetlands are home to many types of fish, amphibians (两栖动物), birds, mammals, and reptiles. These animals (44) the plentiful food, water, and shelter that the wetland offers. While some animals spend their whole lives in a wetland, many use it only for a particular time in their lives, such as for hatching eggs and raising young.Wetlands (45) to make way for farmland, highways, houses, and development of commercial sites like malls.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用A,B,C或D表示) (6分)When May got her first cellphone about a decade ago, one of the first things she did was go to her service provider's website and stock up on ringtones. And then her dad got the phone bill. When new songs came out, she would download them, but most of the ones she downloaded, she never really used, because most of the time she was in school or work.By about 2009, May lost interest in buying ringtones altogether. And she wasn't the only one. May's personal experience mirrors what has been a sharp decline in ringtone sales over the last half-decade.In the early- to mid-2000s, the ability to play a customized sound (定制铃声) for incoming calls ---was a fun new thing for people buying their first cellphones. Ringtones became fashionable. People scrambled to personalize their phones with the newest or coolest tunes.Mastertones made the ringtone an easy way to hear one's favorite music. People also could assign different ringtones to different callers --- say, “Take This Job and Shove It” when your boss calls, ha ha --- as a sonic form of Caller ID.The ringtone sales was a great barometer (晴雨表) of how people were starting to live around entertainment on their phones. We saw the market grow from $68 million retail in the U.S. in 2003 to about $600 million in 2006.But then the sales dipped. Despite the enormous growth of smartphones, mobile audio products such as ringtones and ringbacks (which is a song that plays while a caller's waiting for an answer) brought in only $167 million last year.So what happened?Two things: The interest of the musical snippets wore off. And we learned how to make custom ringtones for free.Musical ringtones could be costly. Costs for ringtones varied, but the 20-to-30-second snippets (片段) were often pricier than buying the whole song. Someone who updated their ringtones frequently could easily pay $20 a month or more.But with the rise of audio-editing software and free Web programs for making ringtones, users could easily create their own custom ringtones from songs they already owned.And as smartphones evolved, with their enticing menu of video, games, music and Facebooking, suddenly ringtones didn't seem so exciting anymore.There's another factor at play, too. Surveys have shown that as text-messaging has grown in popularity, especially among younger users, people don't make calls as often. So ringtones are less of a priority.Cellphone users may not think about them as much, but the gradual decline of the ringtone has been bittersweet for people in the music industry. It was a little sad. In BMI's early digital days, they made more money from ringtones than anything else. And now when you think about it, it's basically zero.60.After May downloaded her favourite ringtones, she .A.paid $5 for themB. sent the phone bill to her DadC. remembered to use themD. never really used most of them61. According to May's personal experience, ringtone sales became these years.A. betterB. worseC. more interestingD. more attractive62. “Master tones” enables people to with the newest or coolest tunes.A. write a song for incoming callsB. buy their first cell phonesC. personalize their phonesD. hear different callers speaking63. The ringtone market grew from .A. $68 million in 2003B. $600 million in 2006C. late 2000sD. late 201264. Nowadays, people no longer need to to update their ringtones.A. use audio-editing softwareB. use free web programmesC. pay $20 a monthD. share 20-to-30-second snippets65. According to the passage, the is not the main reason for the decline of ringtone salesmarket.A. smartphoneB. use of text-messagingC. the music industryD. the rise of free audio-editing software【答案】60-65 DBCACCB.

Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It (66) about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers --- plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been (67) a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world (68) there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or (69) . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have (70) effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, (71) oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of seacreatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.66.

Herschel struck fame in 1781, when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus (天王星) while engaged in work (74) a at determining stellar parallax (恒星视差). This being the first new planet discovered (75) s ancient times, Herschel, until then an amateur (业余的) astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King's Astronomer" and "Assistant to the King's Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life's wealth for both. In 1782 they (76) m to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels (77) w on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied (投入) with the search for comets (彗星) at which she was quite successful, William became for a time keen on the Sun. Inspired by Wilson's 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspots (太阳黑子), an opinion that (78) c to exist well into the nineteenth century.

It aims to give at-risk families greater access to healthy foods.Under the program, overweight patients can be prescribed the tickets from Health Bucks company to exchange produce at local farmers markets.

I have four other kids also doing the program.”The prescription program was started by an organization that connects low-income people with local farm fresh foods. The group first carried out the program at sites in Massachusetts, Maine, California and Rhode Island. It has now expanded to seven states.This summer, Lincoln Medical Center in the Bronx and Harlem Hospital Center became the first New York State hospitals to join in the program.A chief at Lincoln Medical Center says she thinks the program will bring lasting benefits to the city.“We're not only teaching them just about eating healthy," she says.

Most of my classmates stayed in Hawaii for a college or went to schools on the West Coast, but I decided to broaden my horizons by attending Purdue University in Indiana. When I was there, I discovered I was a minority(少数派) —something I had never experienced back home.Being a minority for the first time, I felt I was a person who knew nothing about what they often talked about. My ideas, interests and values were often thought to be not important. After sharing a different point of view, I would often hear: “What do you know? You’re from Hawaii.” These answers finally stopped me from telling where I was from.That summer I went home to work for a political organization in Honolulu, where I discovered a love for working on laws. Slowly, my pride in my culture came back.I returned to Purdue with a newfound love for my background. I decided to try my best to share my culture with everyone I could and, after I did, I found people were more willing to hear my ideas. I changed my major (专业) to political science and decided I wanted to be a civil servant (公务员).I’m still young and have much to learn, but I will always remain proud of my culture. It has helped me form who I am today and helped me have. a better understanding of the world. I’ve also learned to be more patient and more open, I will make sure to provide a safe space for people to express their ideas and backgrounds without fear of being left out.26．Why did the writer attend a university in Indiana?A.

How to share your opinion with othersBEach year on Feb 21, UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world’s languages and try to encourage people to learn and use them.What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost--not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too. Through MLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it.Google’s 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. In order to avoid losing them, many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload(上传) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world. The Myaamia Project is the same kind of way to revivethe language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s. These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “spread the word” to save the world.So, although the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”30．UNESCO holds IMLD every year in order to help people to _________.A.1earn and use endangered languagesB. show their talents in learning languagesC. practice reading skills of mother languagesD. realize the situation of endangered languages31．What does the underlined word “revive” mean in Paragraph 4?A. put...awayB. take…awayC. keep...aliveD. give...back 32．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A.

I found it while walking to school. It was in the street and his wing was broken. I hid it in the woods and when I went home, it was still there and I decided to bring it home. My father made a box for it and I fed it bread and water every day. The next animal I found was a black dog, and she was about to have puppies. My father found the dog tied outside of our house and decided to take it in. The dog was very delighted and you couldn’t imagine how terrible this dog was before. We kept him in a box.

To everyone’s joy, she could come back home. At that time, we had at least twenty animals in our house, but my mum couldn’t stand (忍受) their smell. She wanted them to go. In order to help my mum stay healthy, we had to let them go. One of the animals, a German shepherd (牧羊犬), was given away to a family with three boys.
