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. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

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?。

(One possible version: )I W ork and I Am HappyAs a student, I have few opportunities to work owing to my full schedule. But an activity organized by my school left a deep impression on me. The activity is called Farm W ork Program. During the Program, I had to get up early and did assigned farm work with my classmates under the expert guidance of trainers. For example, we helped water the plants and pick up vegetables. W e were even taught how to make tofu. With the help of my classmates, I finally made tofu successfully, which brought me great happiness. While working, I realized how hard it was to work with my own hands and how happy it was to enjoy the fruit(s) of my labor.From my perspective, we cannot always participate in such programs, but we can help our parents do some housework. For example, we can help wash dishes after dinner, or we can wash our socks and so on. Remember that few things can make us happier than seeing the results of our hard work.听力部分A卷（Key to 1～15）1. C2.

The Laba Festival is celebrated on the 8th day of the last month of the old Chinese calendar. This day is marked by eating a special porridge. At the oldest temple in Beijing, free Laba porridge is handed out. Although the weather is very cold, crowds of people have come here to try it. The two most important traditions associated with the Laba Festival are praying for personal well-being and eating Laba porridge. The Laba Festival reminds people that Chinese New Y ear is just around the corner. The traditional recipe is a mix of 8 things like rice, red beans, and nuts. It takes about 8 hours to make. But the porridge in the temple here has many more, including fruit, seeds, and black beans. Porridge used to be handed out to the poor during other periods in Chinese history. Though most people today are here for the experience, the act of sharing is still a powerful symbol of charity. In ancient China, Chinese people offered gifts to their dead loved ones during the last month of the old calendar. This rich history is an important reason the tradition has been preserved in modern-day China.Stanley Lee, CCTV.。

Here at iWantSun. co. uk we’ve been searching the globe to find you the world’s best and most famous beach walks, and here’s our pick of the top. Click on the most interesting walks and join our tourist program.The Footpath of the Gods, Amalfi Coast, ItalyThe name says it all really and you truly feel excited there, walking along this wonderful mountain path, which offers some of the most striking views on the planet. The path begins at the town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast. The whole walk will take you about four and half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths.Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk, AustraliaSydney’s coastline is one the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in the world. Here you have national parks, historic sites, shining and quiet beachesall in one place. Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an unbelievable seven days to complete. However, if you’re not up to doing the full walk, there are many dif ferent parts of the walk that you can do right in the city itself. Walking from the city’s famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve(大半径曲线）of Brone Beach takes just an hour, which takes in some top sceneries.Great Ocean Walk, AustraliaThe Great Ocean Walk covers 104km along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road, located on the southern coast of Australia, from the holiday town Apollo Bay to the splendid Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are the area’s famous stone landmarks which stand out like the giants from the sea. The walk passes through a range of landscapes and sights, from national park, famous surfing spots and deserted beaches, to wild coastlines, waterfalls, lush(茂盛的）forests, historic lighthouses. Day walks and shorter three-hour walk such as The Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.So next time when you’re looking for a beach holiday, don’t just think about the holiday towns and the sand, but consider a more active sun holiday. If you have interest in any of the above places, please contact us, and we can give you the best services.36.When you arrive at Amalfi Coast, _______________.A. the scenic beauty can fill you with charmB. the walking can be started from PositanoC. you must be fed up with the footpathD. narrow rocky paths may trap you37.What are the distinct characteristics of Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk?A. It takes more than a week to complete the walkB. It provides visitors with a variety of great landscapesC. It really has the longest coastline in the worldD. It starts from Royal National Park in the south38.From the Great Ocean Walk, Australia we can know that ______. A. most visitors have to finish the 104km walk quicklyB. the Twelve Apostles stand below the surface of the seaC. Apollo Bay is at the end of the Great Ocean WalkD. visitors have various walking choices there39.Where can we probably read the passage?A. A travel magazineB. A handbook to childrenC. An online advertisementD. A poster in a foreign travel agency40.The author intends to _______________.A. introduce the beautiful beaches in CanadaB. present the wonderful beaches in IndonesiaC. tell us the ideal tourist destination for healthD. ask us to join the tourist programBThe Governor’s School is described as a unique opportunity for high school students to involve themselves in math, science, and technology. When I signed up for computer programming, I expected to learn about coding (编程））. However, what I didn’t expec t was that I would also learn how to build strong friendships.Just before I went there, I didn’t know what to expect in the school, feeling quite at a loss. A sense of uncertainty about my future was flooding over me. On the first day, the students awkwardly moved around at the opening ceremonies. Although it was embarrassing to admit, I hadn’t been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused on myself. This time, I got rid of the desire to share personal stories and instead was eager to ask others about themselves.After sunset on the second night, I heard three girls trying to recall theschedule for an upcoming museum trip. After effective communication, I knew they were Lucy, Megan and Avery. Lucy and Avery were in environmental science, and Megan was studying mathematics.We had a lot in common among us four, such as our love for movies, which strengthened our friendships. Meanwhile, we were able to introduce each other to new activities. Lucy introduced us to anime(日本动漫）. Enthusiastically, Megan encouraged us to play tennis. Avery and I kept the other two motivated to work out at the gym. The fact that none of us was particularly skilled with equipment resulted in shared laughter almost every day.After four weeks, I left with the ability to successfully code an educational computer game. More importantly, I also left with knowledge about the code of friendship--- the fact that I could make more friends in a month by showing interest in them than I could in a year by trying to attract others’ interest in me.41.The author went to the Governor’s School to originally learn how to ___________.A. code computer programsB. make friends with othersC. develop her personal hobby and interestD. share her personal stories with others42.The author had failed in her friendship mainly because _____________.A. she was embarrassed to stay with her friendsB. she cared little about othersC. she longed to know about othersD. she focused her attention on coding43.What can welearn from thepassage? 44.According to the author, the success code of friendship is _____________.A. getting others to be interested inherB. adding more laughter to others’ lifeC. keeping others motivated by storiesD. becoming more interested in others45.What does the author tell us in the passage?A. Her interest in the Governor’sSchoolB. A close relation with threeschoolmatesC. Her experience in the Governor’sSchoolD. Big changes in her studyCIn some islands north of Scotland, if head lice (头虱）left their host, he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method in their madness: As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patient improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick host, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet, and when the fever breaks, they return. Such false causally (假因果关系）misleads us every day.Consider the headline: “ Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XYZ Eve ry Day Have Stronger Hair.” It says very little--- least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It might simply be the other way round: women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ--- and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick h air” on the bottle.Another example: Scientists found that long periods in the hospital did harm to patients. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment.A. Avery studied mathematics in the schoolB. The four girls had a wonderful time at schoolC. Megan studied environmental scienceD. The four girls had nothing in commonRecently I read that students get better grades at school if their homes contain many books. This study was surely a shot in the arm for booksellers, but it was also false causality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to value their children’s education more than uneducated ones do, and they often have more books at home. In short, a dust-covered copy War and Peace alone isn’t going to influence anyone’s grades; what counts is parents’ education levels, as well as their genes.There was also the supposed relationship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork(鹤））pairs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot (描绘）them on a graph(曲线图）， the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 appeared almost the same. Does this mean the storks actually bring babies? Obviously not. This was purely accidental connection.In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way round, and sometimes there is no link at all--- just like with storks and babies.46.According to the first paragraph, people in some islands north of Scotland _______.A. found a way to get rid of head liceB. used an effective method to keep fitC. made head lice a part of their lifeD. died due to infections with head lice47.Which is an example of false causality?A. Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampooB. The birth rate and the stork population are connectedC. Longer periods in the hospital benefit patientsD. Lice can make a person sick and feverish48.The underlined phrase “ a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 means _________.A. painB. defeatC. guidanceD. encouragement49.According to the author, students get better grades probably because ___________.A. their home are full of booksB. they have read War and PeaceC. their educated parents valueD. their parents are successful education booksellers50.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that ____________.A. connection are pure accidentsB. cause and effect are interdependentC. connections are mostly cause andeffectD. linked events may turn out to beunrelatedDI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But whereare we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient societylike ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubtthe most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counterand onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires abit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I havemy doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This typeof wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishingfor a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle sou p that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate.You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ______.A. keep ourselves busyB. get absent-mindedC. grow anxiousD. stay focused52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result.C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.54. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A. Take it seriously.B. Don’t rely on others.C. Do something else.D. Don’t lose heart.55. The author supports his view by________.A. exploring various causes of “waits”B. describing detailed processes of “waits”C. analyzing different categories of “waits”D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits” 四、阅读表达：In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “Call my dad.”Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I needed discipline.Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a c ompetitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “I can’t do this anymore.”Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. D ad sat me down and said, “Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence (坚持不懈).”Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?
