perform for a new type of audience in water off the coast of Australia： great white sharks．The concert， presented by Airbnb， is part of a 12 hour tour to an offshore location near Port Lincoln， Australia， which is known as a feeding ground for great white sharks． Rather than using the traditional "chum"﹣﹣﹣ fish parts and blood in the water to attract the sharks﹣﹣﹣organizers hope the music will draw them in．This admittedly "over﹣the﹣top experience" was created "to educate people and show them that sharks are worthy respects， and protection，" according to Airbnb． Throughout the day， concert goers will observe sharks and other marine life in their natural habitat．The on﹣going， driving boat of rock music﹣ especially the dense， base thrumming beats of hard rock and heavy metal﹣ can attract wild sharks in theopen ocean， as Matt﹣ Waller， shark tour operator and owner of adventure Bay Charters in Australia， discovered in 2011．Waller had heard from a shark tour colleague who experimented with underwater speakers that the sharks behaved differently in the presence of music﹣particularly rock music． Over time， Waller tried many types of music，with varying degrees of success in attracting sharks．In 2015，when the Discovery Channel filmed Waller playing heavy metal underwater，the music attracted the attention of two great white sharks： one was 12 feet long， and one was 14 feet long．Now， Waller is partnering with Airbnb lo broadcast Kiss' music to great whites． While the Kiss show is certainly an unusual approach for bringing people and sharks together， perhaps the common ground of rock and roll will encourage a greater awareness of sharks as creatures that are vital to ocean ecosystems and deserving of respect rather than fear． Waller told Live Science．（1）Why does kiss hold the concert？A． To confirm a former experimentB． To change human attitudes to music．C． To introduce the sharks to the public．D． To encourage positive awareness of sharks．（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to？A． The performers．B． The concertgoers．C． The sharks．D． The tourists．（3）Which of the following may Matt Waller agree？A． Shark tours should be prohibited．B． Rock music can attract wild sharks．C． Humans should keep away from sharks．D． The Kiss approach is not worth following．（4）What can be the best title of the text？A． Great White Sharks Get a Concert from Kiss．B． Rock Band Kiss Holds a Concert in Australia．C． Great White Sharks Care about Music．D． Airbnb Comes into Rock﹣roll Market．3．（10分）Today is Friday the 13th of the year． Even though the date is known throughout Western culture as one associated with negative things， it's really just another Friday on the calendar．There is no scientific evidence to suggest this day has an increased chance of bad occurrences compared with other days． But that doesn't mean scientists haven't tried to find any． In Thomas W． Lawsons 1907 novel． Friday， the Thirteenth a businessman takes advantage of the superstition （迷信） and creates a Wall Street panic on the day． The book was the likely inspiration for a number of scientific examinations of stock market returns on Fridays that fell on the 13th day of the month compared with all other Fridays． In 2001， business professor at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland， published his analysis of a few of those studies and found several flaws． The studies had narrow assessments overall，focusing on just a few markets or a single stock exchange． But when he analyzed the data as a whole， Lucey found that internationally， with few exceptions returns on Friday the 13th were typically just a little higher than returns on other Fridays．The scientific evidence for cause and effect may not be there but people may still alter their behavior on Friday the 13th in a way that causes certain things to happen． The way people drive might be different from their usual． But the few studies that have examined traffic accidents haven't found statistically significant trends to suggest Friday the 13th is more dangerous than other Fridays on the road．The science is clear：Friday the 13th is a normal day．Yet，people continue to think this is meant to be a bad day．"Psychologically，superstitions arise from the desire to influence external events， decreaseanxiety and reduce uncertainty，" said Neil Dagnall， a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University． Besides， I don't think people know often why they do things．"（1）Why is Friday the 13th usually associated with negativity？A． The date increases possibility of risk．B． Scientists have found enough evidence．C． Culture has taught its people to believe so．D． Things always go bad or worse on the day．（2）What did Brian's Lucey's studies focus on？A． Novels relating to Friday the 13th．B． Written records of Wall Street panic．C． Analysis of successful business cases．D． Stock market returns on Friday the 13th．（3）In Paragraph 3， the few studies are mentioned to show that ．A． human fear of Friday the 13th is no1 necessary．B． traffic accidents can be avoided on other Fridays．C． people tend to behave strangely on Friday the 13th．D． staying at home is recommended on Friday the 13th．（4）What does Neil Dagnall think of superstitions？A． They can lead the endless human desires．B． They can help people to reduce anxiety．C． They cause great harm to physical healthD． They produce a sense of controlling everything．4．（10分）Many hobbies are suitable for transforming into a side business， or even a fully developed one． Even though it can take some time to establish yourself in most of these markets， it's usually well worth the effort in the long run． However， there are various considerations you'll need to make along the way．First things first﹣﹣﹣just because you're good at something it doesn'tmean it's a good idea to start a business around it． Some hobbies are just that hobbies， and they don't have a serious potential for anything more than that． You may be the best at making mini house from matches， but how many of those have been sold over the last couple of months？ Do enough research beforehand to verify that there are actually enough people out there who would have an interest in buying your product or service in the first place．Once the business is up and running，you'll need to spend the word yourself． Don't expect people to come rushing through your doors． Promotion is something that you'll ideally start thinking about before you've even set up the company． It's a highly individual process and depend on the kind of product you're selling， your local area， as well as the resources you have available for your business． But no matter how much you can afford on promotion，it's something that must always be the most important until you've established yourself properly．Once you're there， things will start flowing more smoothly． But you'll still have to keep your marketing game active because it's easy to get overtaken by your competitors if you're not careful． Make sure that you are always pushing hard on that front and consider experimenting with some more recent solutions as well．（1）What does the author advise in Paragraph 1？A． Setting up a side business as a try．B． Coming up with some creative ideas．C． Doing research on a potential market．D． Taking a serious hobby into consideration．（2）What does the underlined word "verily" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A． Illustrate．B． Check．C． Announce．D． Indicate．（3）What can be learned from Paragraph 3？A． Not everyone can afford business promotion．B． Advertisement is not necessary in your local area．C． Resources play an important role on product sale．D． Promotion is a key factor to business development．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？A． Taking up your own hobbies．B． Setting up a successful business．C． Turning your hobby into a business．D． Establishing yourself in the market．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）My dad passed away yesterday and I am processing everything． It's hard to try and find positivity in my pain， but my Dad taught me so much when he was healthy， and when he wasn't I wanted to share some of the lessons． Be on the phone less． This one seems strange but in his final moments I was all in，no checking my phone because it really didn't matter （1）This was a moment I needed to remember and I would have regretted it if I was distracted in this part of his journey．（2）Sometimes we need people to lean on． My mom and dad needed a lot of help． I needed a lot of help． We were surrounded by people willing to help us and instead of shutting them out like we've done in the past， we let them in and it was exactly what we needed．Not everyone will understand your experience．（3）Just knowing people are here for us means a lot， but I also know that no one will fully understand my experience and that's okay as we are all different．Family is not necessarily the people who brought you into this world． I am adopted and I know we chose each other．（4） I loved my father very much．There's nothing more important than being with the ones you love． I wasable to hold my Dad when he took his last breath． My Mom and I made sure that my Dad knew he was loved through his journey．（5） Everything else is secondary．A． all that mattered was him．B． Love is what truly matters．C． Surround yourself with a support system．D． And he loved me more than anyone on this Earth．E． It's okay not to understand the reason for everything．F． Really， we can handle more than we ever thought possible．G． This was a long and hard journey for my mom and me and all of those who care about us．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（15分）When Erik Kiel launched Peer2Peer Tutor， at age 16， his idea was （1）： students can help other students

Just last year, before I entered the graduate school, it was such a brilliant time. Four months on the road enjoyed the wonderful scenery in the country, in towns and in cities all along the way. I got a bit tired, though. (12:39-12:48) W: Sounds great! Um, Maybe I should think seriously about my big life adventure, like taking a long walk across a national park.(12:49-12:52) M: Wow!

Matt!(15:45-15:46) M: You are welcome.材料10(17:35-17:43) Hello, everyone! I’m very glad to be here to talk to you. People need to feel secure and comfortable, so they can be creative. (17:44-17:50) Well- designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers. (17:50-17:58) So today I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity. I hope you can find it useful.(17:58-18:09) First, the color of the office walls. Decorate your office with green. Other bright colors such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity. (18:10-18:17) Calmer colors help us concentrate. Green also reminds us of nature, which may help us to relax. (18:18-18:26) Avoid red when you are choosing a color. While it can give us a feeling of energy, it also affects our ability to analyze information.(18:27-18:38) Then let’s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important. Too dark and workers can feel sleepy. While if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. (18:39-18:45) The best kind of lighting is natural light. It makes us happier and more productive. (18:46-18:53) When it comes to artificial lighting, warm colors are the best. But if we need to concentrate, a bluer light is better.(18:54-19:07) Space is another important matter. A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in the office. So staff can find privacy of needed but also working open areas for creative thinking.。

It has ail extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality 6f life among the worlds nations. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, the job they wan! — unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January,2019 — enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per-capita(人均的) basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first don't expect to be met byDubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.1.Where is the Skagerrak strait?A.Near the Barents Sea.B.On the east of Finland.C.Near the north of Norway.D.On the north of Denmark.2.What leads to Norway’s succe ss?A.Its huge reserve of oil.B.Its low unemployment rate.C.Its quality education.D.Its pleasant natural environment.3.What can be inferred about Norway from paragraph 3?A.Norwegians are seeking modern life.B.It is modest about its wealth.C.It puts much focus on the traffic.D.Norwegians try to keep away from high technology.4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph convey?A.Norway’s future should be considered.B.Norway wouldn’t like to make changes.C.Norway has accumulated enough pensions.D.Norway's retired population is decreasing.CThere are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake to in the morning. For me, it's the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.If you're a big fan of coffee, you'll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell-fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you'll be able to identify the beans' origin-Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. "When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological responses."I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it's the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past yourtongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and the vast majority of them still don't get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!1.In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?A.People drink coffee first thing in the morning.B.Coffee beans' origin makes all the difference.C.Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.D.It's the smell of coffee that really matters.2.What does the author complain about?A.The process of making coffee.B.The high temperature of coffee.C.The design of the paper coffee cup.D.The inconvenience of buying coffee.3.Which can replace the word "eliminating" underlined in Paragraph 4?A.Creating.B.Removing.C.Increasing.D.Changing.4.What can be the best title of the text?A.Wake up and smell the coffeeB.Try to be a real lover of coffeeC.Drink coffee to save the planetD.Choose takeaway coffee for convenienceDOn average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15, 000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband arid two children. She calls it a "regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both shortterm and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three clays in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.1.What is David Strayer's opinion?A.Americans dislike outdoor activities.B.Electronic equipment should be quitted.C.New technologies are a double-edged sword.D.Electronic equipment brings great convenience.2.Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A.To try another lifestyle.B.To refresh our brain.C.To make better decisions.D.To play with our family and friends.3.What does the underlined word "regenerative" mean?A.Reborn.B.Memorable.C.Remarkable.D.Tiring.4.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Electronic Equipment Harms theB. Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC.Tips on Using New TechnologiesD.Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain二、七选五阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A. She was weak in reading great works.B. She was slow to learn language.C. She liked children’s literature.D. She couldn’t remember any words.5. What can be got from children’s books according to the passage?A. V ocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6. What surprised the author while reading children’s books?A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Children’s BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips,the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.12. What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.13. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.14. What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?A. To protect privacy.B. To scale out applications.C. To get more natural light.D. To observe more clearly.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The finest cuisine in restaurants and bars.2.Which is suggested if one has a sweet tooth?A.Whistler,B.C. B. Saskatchewan. C. Nova Scotia.D. Quebec.3. What can be expected in Saskatchewan?A. A snow sculpture competition.B. A maple-tasting experience.C. A cross-country hiking trip.D. A thrilling snow sled ride.BThe expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or behave in a similar way as a larger group.People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true.For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction. Teens and young adults may feel forced to smoke, or drink alcohol, which might encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to keep up with the peers.However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off smoking, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing.4. What does the underlined word “instinct” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A natural tendency.B. An acquired ability.C. A popular idea.D. An obvious mistake.5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Potential causes of peer pressure.B. Possible positive effects of peer pressure.C. Negative consequences of peer pressure.D. Tips for coping with peer pressure.6. What is the author’s suggestion when making a decision?A. Simply go with an instinct.B. Ask for advice from adults.C. Listen to the inner motivation.D. Follow in the footsteps of others.7. What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Indifferent.CThe worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in decades is presently underway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia –and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anyt hing we’ve seen in a very long time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and it’s taking place in a region where farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are already vulnerable (脆弱的) or in serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.We have acted quickly to respond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerial spraying of pesticides (杀虫剂). FAO’s “Locust Watch” service explains that “although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to manage the outbreak.But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bring this infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting season begins. If left unchecked – and with expected additional rains – locust numbers in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.We must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, weneed to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa has seen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is the worst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.8.What is implied in paragraph 2?A. People in East Africa are suffering drought.B. People in East Africa are going through floods.C. The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.D. The locust outbreak is worsening locals’ life.9. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.B. It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.C. It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.D. The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.10. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyse and compare.B. To inform and call for.C. To argue and discuss.D. To introduce and assess.11. Where does the text probably come from?A. A guidebook.B. A health magazine.C. A news report.D. A chemistry paper.DScientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers haveestimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.12.Why was the system developed?A. To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.B. To show the power of lightning.C. To keep track of lightning deaths.D. To protect people from lightning.13. What is special about the system?A. It was based on a number of samples worldwide.B. It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.C. It used an effective method of collecting data.D. It required low cost of predicting lightning.14. What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?A. Monitor lightning activity.B. Prevent the occurrence of lightning.C. Direct energy from lightning.D. Generate electricity with lightning.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A System of Controlling LightningB. A Method of Forecasting LightningC. A Theory of Employing LightningD. A Model of Creating Lightning第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to "learn from the masters" or get more creative with paint-free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species ；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called “Hissing Sid" is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805 , he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness".However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.1.

At one point, the contract hit negative $ 40. When the trading stopped, crude oil had finished the day at a negative $ 37. 63 a barrel, a decline of some 305 percent, or $ 55. 90 a barrel.That unwanted oil is instead going into storage, but in the United States, storage is filling up much more quickly than expected. Cushing, Oklahoma , the tiny town of less than 10,000 people that serves as the main US storage centre, was 70 percent full as of last week, and traders say it will be full within two weeks.The price decline is good news for drivers pulling up to the pump for a fill-up, butbad news for hydraulic frackers who need higher crude oil prices of about $ 30 to $ 40 a barrel to operate profitably.US stocks dropped on Monday as investors surveyed the economic damage and considered gloomy prospects for a sustained rebound as oil prices hit the bottom of the barrel.On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2.44 percent, and closed at 23,650.44. The S&P 500 slipped 1. 79 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1. 03 percent.4. Traders fled the oil markets because of .A. the COVID-19 pandemicB. no demand for fuelC. sufficient storage for the glut of oilD. no investment5. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 5?A. Hopeful.B. Great.C. Poor.D. Little.6. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The effects of the negative US oil price.B. The facts of US stocks.C. The reaction to the negative US oil price.D. The situation of the negative US oil price.7. From which part of the newspaper is the passage probably taken?A. Science and technology.B. Economy.C. Health.D. Culture.CThe first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B. C. This system developed because the pharaohs（法老）frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Message carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up this idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.In China. however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.In 1653 , a Frenchman, Renouard du Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient, but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer’s system came to an end when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British school teacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other. His idea helped the British postal system begin to earnprofits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately"(（stamp collecting)）.8. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How international letters travel.B. A surprising method for delivering mail.C. The history of postal systems.D. Changes in the methods of communication.9. Which of the following statements about Renouard de Velayer is true?A. His was a government-controlled system.B. His competitors destroyed his business.C. His system lasted for hundreds of years.D. In his system, the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.10. Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?A. Egyptian.B. Chinese.C. de Velayer's.D. von Taxis’s.11. What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?A. He made letter writing accessible to the average person.B. He made a lot of money for the British postal system.C. He made stamp collecting a popular hobby.D. He won an award for letter writing.DThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report stating that the world is quickly running out of time to keep global warming below 1. 5 degrees Celsius. To get there, the world would have to cut current emissions by 45 percent by 2030. That sounds absurdly unlikely.But before we give in to despair, we should remember that the technology to address climate change is going along at a high speed. The largest source of U. S. carbon emissions is transportation, and a Green New Deal for motor vehicles would be quite straightforward.The reason is simple: with some subsidies （补贴），electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have made the greatest speed into the market, because they are a logical choice for electrification. By the end of 2018, electric vehicles were displacing about 280.000 barrels of oil demand per day——about 84 percent of which was due to buses.But the electric car market is also reaching maturity （成熟），with appealing designs, longer range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging network in many countries. It’s worth emphasizing that most of the infrastructure（基础设施）necessary to recharge electric vehicles already exists. People often tend to assume that we would need to replace every gas station, but virtually all homes and businesses already have an electrical connection which can be easily improved for fast charging. All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.Now America would have to repair its electricity production, freight rail, shipping, and so on to fully decarbonizes（脱碳）the transportation sector, which taken together will be considerably more difficult than simply extirpating fossil fuel vehicles from the market.But greening America’s vehicle would be straightforward, relatively cheap, and a hugestride forward on climate. The politics of climate change are so fearful that despair can seem logical, but the first step to achieving a tough goal is the confident belief that it can be done. And this particular step wouldn't even be that tough.12. How's the goal of keeping global warming below 1. 5 degrees Celsius according to Paragraph 1?A. Reasonable.B. Safe.C. Realistic.D. Impossible.13. How can electric vehicles compete with fossil-fuel ones?A. By getting financial support from government.B. By running at the greatest speed.C. By changing the way of transportation.D. By making consumers make logical choices.14. What should we do to promote electric cars now?A. Replace as many as gas stations.B. Solve the problem of long trips.C. Build more infrastructures for recharging.D. Make businesses have electrical connections.15. Which of the following best explains "extirpating" underlined in Paragraph 5?A. Repairing.B. Producing.C. Moving.D. Forbidding.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分.满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the concept itself isn’t new at all —in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Ar rhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases.C. Findings about global warming.D. Explorations on climate change.CIt’s com mon knowledge that the woman in Leona rdo da Vinci’s most famouspainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matterwhere they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewha t ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just tho ught it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A. B.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing fo r an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrowfocused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers’ spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy’s restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people’s views on pop stars.B. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is based on various academic studies.3. Which book is the most culture-specific?A. Mathematical Induction.B. The Flight of a Butterfly or the Path of a Bullet?.C. The Fight for America's Schools.D. The White Chalk of Days.BI moved to the United States as a teenager.The adjustment to a new place was difficult.But there was major stress in my life at that time ：I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child：art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.I was admitted into industrial design. It’s basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question："Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.Throughout my career，I’ve picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.1. Wh at was the author’s biggest problem when first moving to America?A. The adaption to a new environment.B. Difficulty in learning a new language.C. Fathers disapproval of her studying art.D. The burden of being a communicator.2. What made the author choose to study art?A. Her deep love for art.B. The suggestion of her family.C. Her potential in design.D. The need of a good job.3. Why was the author’s experience of drawing cubes mentioned?A. To emphasize her effort at study.B. To express the regret at her choice.C. To prove the course was difficult.D. To show the basic content of the course.4. How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?A. Surprised.B. Stressed.C. Eager.D. Proud.CWhat are dreams for? A handful of theories have the most influence. Sigmund Freudfamously claimed that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence, researchers found that students in the U. S., Korea, and India were much more likely to accept the view. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps sort through and strengthen memories, or rehearse responses to threatening situations.Even if dreams can't foretell the future, they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep cycles, of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics to be school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something.For all the commonalities dreams exhibit, they vary across time—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being looked up, losing a loved one, finding money. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or "wild, violent beasts."If human dreams sound boring, bear in mind that even negative ones can have positive effects. In a study of students taking a French medical-school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreamsthey had beforehand involved a problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't.1.What do you know about Freud's view on dreaming?A.It will cause people more anxiety.B.It's already been proved by evidence.C.It's popular with some American and Asian students.D.It can reveal the hidden truth and predict the future.2. According to recent research, dreams may _______.A.make emotions intenseB.help prepare for special situationsC.reduce our memoriesD.help us take notes3. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true?A.The average person has four or five REM sleep cycles a night.B.Canadian students aren't worried about being late for school.C.Americans usually share the same dream topics with Japanese.D.Films about wild beasts may be widely shown in America in 1958.4. If you dream that you failed the exam, _______.A.your dream will come trueB.you'll be depressed with fearC.you are supposed to take it seriouslyD.it shows that you care a lot about the examDWhile many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common typedrunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in color, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化）before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk，although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托)for visitors.Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than £ 1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013—more than twice what was spent on tea bags.Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.1. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A. Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.B. The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.C. Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.D. UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.2. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.B. Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease.C. In 2013, the money spent on tea was £3 billion.D. Most restaurants like selling tea better than coffee.3. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. It can never succeed again.B. The tea can become popular again.C. Coffee is more popular than tea.D. The tea is becoming less popular.4. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce tea in the UK.B. To show the authors preference for tea.C. To introduce the functions of tea.D. To compare tea in China and the UK.二、七选五根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A
With its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife, Yellow Stone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States. Located primarily in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind advice from the National Park Service.
You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders. Altitudes range from 5, 300 to 8, 860 feet. The National Park Service recommends cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.
Driving Time
Grand Loop is the main road through Yellowstone National Park; it passes by most of the major attractions. These include Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisting sections of this narrow road. Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in heavy traffic.

Travel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily. In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open for the spring by the latter part of April but can close if snowfall continues.

B
Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.
Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).
Safety Awareness
Buffalo(水牛)often block the roads in the park as they move through the fields. If a group is traveling across the road you are on you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route. If you get out of your vehicle, the National Park Service says to stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to30 mph.
4. This experiment was carried out by
A. dividing the teens into three groups
What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.
The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.
