historic Notre Dame Cathedral （巴黎圣母院） in Paris，France，on Monday，April 15，2019．People looked on with shock．One of the greatest architectural treasures of the Western world was burning． For around 800 years， the cathedrals top towered above Paris． The fire sent it falling to the ground． Then，it spread to one of the cathedral's landmark towers． Both towers were saved in the end． However， two﹣thirds of the cathedral's roof burned to the ground．"Everything is burning，nothing will remain from the flame，" said Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot． It's been 800 years that the Cathedral watches over Paris， Pascal， a French historian， said "Happy and unfortunate events for centuries have been marked by the bells of Notre Dame．" He added that the flame marked "the destruction of invaluable heritage．" The cathedral is home to a huge number of artworks． It is also known as one of the world's most famous tourist attractions which receives almost 13 million visitors each year， more than the

keys， smartphones and wallets． Would it be such a disaster if they left that last one behind？In the near future，it may not be．The physical wallet is disappearing．Think of why people carry a wallet in the first place． They have credit cards， cash a driver's license or other ID in it． Increasingly， however， most of these are being kept in digital form on a smartphone instead． At the airport， people can hand over their iphone or Android handset instead of agent scans a digital boardingpass． At many universities， students can use their smartphones as their student ID． In fact， lots of people are using their smartphones to pay without cash or credit cards． They do it with apps like Alipay and Apple Pay．However，the wallet is not going to disappear overnight．Habits like carrying a wallet are tough to break． For all the talks of a cashless society， physical currency is not going away anytime soon， Yet， 68 percent of smartphone owners say that smartphones will eventually replace wallets． Survey Monkey Audience surveyed 1， 218 of them last month， When asked， nearly half （45 percent） think wallets will be no longer useful in five years or less． Such an outcome remains far off for Seth

They have had the battery （电池） run out． If their phone is their only wallet， what do people do when that happens？Concerns about security are one key reason people do not feel comfortable getting rid

communicate through an electronic voice synthesizer that sounded like a robot．Still， Hawking continued his scientific work． Through his work， Hawking searched for the great goal of physics， which he called a "theory of everything．"In later years， though， he suggested a theory like this that might not exist． But one can't help asking the question： Why does the universe exist？ He said in 1991． Hawking said he was unsure how to give that question an answer or a meaning．His best﹣selling book and his almost total disability made Hawking famous． He even made TV appearances on The Simpsons and

Every summer,we would spend hours working in the garden, watering plants, picking ripe fruits, and harvesting vegetables. It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. Itwas a wonderful experience that I will always remember.Complete the following passage by choosing the most appropriate word or phrase from the options given below.I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and (A) explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.A. describedB. explainedC. worriedD. concernedAnswer: B. explained六、语言运用第二节 _ 语法填空（15分）Passage:In the early 1900s, (1) Northwest China was still a place of relative isolation.

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it.

"I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

Andrew， a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe， it's not a problem． Once he spots Toro， he knows the rest of the herd is nearby． That's because Toro isn't an ordinary member of the herd． He's a giraffe． In hot weather， cattle rest in the shade under his belly． And because of his height， Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd．Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions． Toro survived the attack， but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk． About two days later， some herders spotted and rescued him． With the permission of the Department of Wildlife， the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm． Since giraffes and cattle are both plant﹣eating animals that live in groups， their behaviors are much the same． Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass．Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd． Like many kinds of animals， cattle compete for dominance （支配）． Standing more

（家畜栏）， the cows and bulls push each other． ''But thanks to his height， Toro does not need to join the mess， '' said Andrew．When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild， Munetsi， an officer of

The group says that in the future， fingerprints could help tell a person's key personalities．To use the scanner， people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer technology connected to sensors reads back what sort of work would suit the individual （个人）．The machine bases its results on a collection of a large amount of information in the computer about how fingerprint shapes connect to job selection．Local companies help researchers from the city's Kuban University of Physical Education and Sport to test the technology．Twenty﹣one﹣year﹣old Oscar Galkin， a mathematics graduate， said， "I got the result from the scanner that I would be suited to a job in IT， which is exactly what I want to do． I don't know if it is luck or if it can really read a person's talents， but it worked for me．"And Zara Tokareva， aged 20， who feels uncomfortable at the sight of blood， said， "I want to be a house designer but the machine said． I should be a nurse． So， no， I don't think it is as clever as is being made out． ''Though fingerprint identification has been widely used in crime discovering， it is still a science that has a lot of possibility of being used， say experts，

there are obvious features that are common on the fingers of certain professionals working in certain jobs．" Said researcher Ravil Yudin． "It's not really a new idea because hand readers have been saying for hundreds of years that you can tell a person's future by reading their hands． We want to match that by looking at fingerprints and trying to tell what career path people would choose．"（1）It

productD． help job hunters understand themselves well13．（7.5分）Recent findings have shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy， including our eating environment and our perception （感知） of the food in front of us． A new study suggested that our short﹣term memory may also play a role in appetite． Several hours after a meal， people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them ﹣ in other words， how much they remembered eating． This difference suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal，says Jeffrey M．Brunstrom，a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol．"Hunger isn't controlled merely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal． We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says． "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought．"These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perceptions of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself．In a 2016 study，for instance，people who drank the same 380﹣calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger﹣related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories． Moreover， the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher﹣calorie shake．（1）What affects our appetite according to the new study？A． How much we remember eating．B． What time we eat our last meal．C． How much we eat our last meal．D． What ingredients the food contains．（2）The underlined word "echo" in the last paragraph means in Chinese．A．暗示B．反映C．印证D．改善（3）What is the main idea of the text？A． Good eating habits contribute to our health．B． Eating speed often affects our food digestion．C． Psychological factors influence our hunger levels．D． Our biological need for energy determines our food intake．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．14．（10分）After a long day at work， coming home is a breath of fresh air．（1） However， is it as healthy as it can be？ Below are a number of things we can do to create a healthy home environment that will help to case the workday stress and promote our physical and mental health．Cleaning the house regularly is the first thing we should do． It may seem like a tiring thing to clean but there is a reason for doing so． We can remove dust by cleaning the house． Leaving layers of dust everywhere means that there is a build﹣up of dust．（2） Into our lungs．Making sure the rooms are full of sunlight is also important． We may not realize it but sunlight is an important part of our growth． We all know that sunlight promotes better working conditions．（3）Think about using a Parans system where sunlight does not reach． This technology gathers the sunlight by using solar panels （板）． It can send out sunlight wherever we are．（4） Going green will help to remove toxins （毒素） in the air． They also give off oxygen，which can lower stress and improve our moods．Along the lines of being green，it can also be vital to think about what things we are bringing into the house． Try to avoid specific plastics that are harmful to health．（5） They may contain poisonous chemicals that can be breathed in， or simply absorbed through the skin．A． And where do these layers of dust go？B． Home is a comfortable place to sit back and relax．C． Is our home as safe as it used to be？D． The same thing applies to certain carpets and paint．E． It is also a good idea to add more plants in our house．F． Besides， it can reduce both stress and high blood pressure．G． It is acknowledged that a greener lifestyle is linked to better health．第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．15．（30分）A friend of mine is a musician．He

She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk． I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal （水晶） shoes． The tiny tiara（冠状头饰） fastened to her silky golden hair shone．"If only she were mine，" I dreamed． "We'd have tea parties， share secrets and dance with a handsome prince．" But to my disappointment， my mother guided me away from the window， explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll． "But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning， Madge，" she said． "I promise．" Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine， watching the needle flash up and down． "Bet you don't know what this is!" she joked， holding up the cloth for me to see．"My Christmas doll!" I yelled． It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head， neck and body． "So much to my surprise!" Mother laughed as I danced around the room， already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball． It wouldn't be long now．My excitement grew with each passing day． Mother continued to work on the

the bush． But for Andrew， a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe， it's not a problem． Once he spots Toro， he knows the rest of the herd is nearby． That's because Toro isn't an ordinary member of the herd． He's a giraffe． In hot weather， cattle rest in the shade under his belly． And because of his height， Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd．Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions． Toro survived the attack， but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk． About two days later， some herders spotted and rescued him． With the permission of the Department of Wildlife， the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm． Since giraffes and cattle are both plant﹣eating animals that live in groups， their behaviors are much the same． Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass．Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd． Like many kinds of animals， cattle compete for dominance （支配）． Standing more than 13 feet tall， Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull，But Toro never tries to be ''the boss．''He is very used to their company，'' Andrew said． When the herd enters the kraal （家畜栏）， the cows and bulls push each other． ''But thanks to his height， Toro does not need to join the mess， '' said Andrew．When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild， Munetsi， an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no． ''In the wild， he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators （猎食者），'' he added． ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle．''（1）What was Toro like when the herders found him？AA． He was left alone．B． He was seriously ill．C． He was lost in the bush．D． He was fighting with lions．（2）What do we know about Toro in the cattle herd？BA． He has fought to be the leader．B． He gets along well with the herd．C． He is pushed around by the bulls．D． He stays away from the herd most of the time（3）What will happen to Toro according to Munetsi？CA． He will be sent back to the wild．B． He will be put into another herd of giraffes．C． He will continue to live together with Andrew．D． He will be trained to fight with the big animals．（4）What may be the best title for the text？BA． Giraffes under threat in the wildB． A surprising new family for a giraffeC． A new way of herding appearing in AfricaD． Moments showing friendship between animals【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据第二段，Toro survived the attack，but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk．可知，当放牧人发现Toro时，它是独自一个，没有人保护它或者给它食物．A． He was left alone．（它被独自留下了）符合以上说法，故选A．（2）B．细节理解题．根据第二段，Since giraffes and cattle are both plant﹣eating animals that live in groups， their behaviors are much the same． Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass．因为长颈鹿和牛都是食草群居动物，它们的行为习惯很相似．Toro被牛群接受了，每天牛吃草时它就和它们一起．可知，Toro和牛群相处的很好．B． He gets along well with the herd．（它和牛群相处得好）符合以上说法，故选B．（3）C．推理判断题．根据最后一段，''In the wild， he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators （猎食者）， '' he added． ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle． '' 在野外，它很难被其它长颈鹿群接受，或者不能抵御猎食者，它在这里感觉很舒服，而且牛群也尊敬它．可推测，Toro将会继续和Andrew一起生活．C． He will continue to live together with Andrew．（他将继续和Andrew生活）符合以上推测，故选C．（4）B．标题归纳题．根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第二段的With the permission of the Department of Wildlife， the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm． Since giraffes and cattle are both plant﹣eating animals that live in groups， their behaviors are much the same． Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass．在野生动物部门的同意下，这些放牧人把Toro带到了Andrew的家里．因为长颈鹿和牛都是食草群居动物，它们的行为习惯很相似．Toro被牛群接受了，每天牛吃草时它就和它们一起．可知，本文主要讲述了一头长颈鹿来到放牧人的家里，和牛群生活在一起的故事．B． Asurprising new family for a giraffe （一头长颈鹿的意外的新家）可以作为本文标题，故选B．12．（7.5分）A group of university professors recently created a scanner they believe can predict the perfect job for anyone ﹣ simply by looking at their fingerprints． The group says that in the future， fingerprints could help tell a person's key personalities．To use the scanner， people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer

idea,and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world.He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow,his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.Beck,59,a former map maker turned into a snow artist,thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.“It started just as a joke one day really,Beck explained.”After skiing one day,I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure…”“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing,but it really went beyond my expectation,he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.To create this work,Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head.It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.But as his designs developed and became more complex,Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers,and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,”Beck said.“And for the first time,I felt people actually wanted me.I felt like a more valued member of society.”24.Where does Simon Beck create art?A.On maps.B.On mountains.C.On snowfields.D.On soccer fields.25.Why did Beck create his first drawing?A.To prove his talent.B.To have fun.C.To entertain the

grade,lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called“the most dysfunctional(功能失调的) public school district”.Not many people expected much of me,so I had to expect.On my13th birthday,I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room.Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about.Even if my electricity was cut off,I still woke up at5:30,because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal.Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day.The poster gave me the courage to send emails to about50Harvard students to ask for feedback on my application essays;it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep;and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when180others had already turned me down.Every day,I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better,my SAT score increased,and my scholarship checks started coming in.Finally,an email arrived from Harvard.The first word was “Congratulations!”A month later,Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday,and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today.Who do you want to be tomorrow?28.What can we learn about the author from the first

question when visiting new cities.Nowadays,having access to Wi-Fi is essential if you plan on making the most of any trip abroad.But far too often I spend5for a tiny cup of coffee just to use a cafe’s Wi-Fi and charging port.Replacing this costly exchange with their interpretation of a city center,the designer of Kuube,a Hungarian startup,has created a smart bench equipped with all the necessities that a modern-day traveler might need to comfortably move through any city.Kuube’s smart bench comes in three sizes.All come with USB ports,wireless chargers,and a Wi-Fi hotspot function-free for everyone.All three smart benches charge up thanks to solar panels,which makes them easily movable.First comes Kuube ECO,the smallest of the three smart benches.It’s a three-seater that comes equipped with two USB ports and one wireless charger.It has unlimited Internet access thanks to its Wi-Fi hotspot.The bench with one display screen continuously monitors its environment,such as changes in UV levels or air pressure—displaying them on its monitor for those interested.Then comes Kuube NANO,the middle that can seat up to four people and comes with all the same offerings as Kuube ECO.And finally comes the largest option,Kuube PLUS.This smart bench offer more of a group,or family seating style and can accommodate up to eight people.It offers four charging options and two display screens.The three smart benches all have an aluminum chassis(铅制底座)that’s recyclable and are made from natural ash wood for the seating sections.Kuube is clearly a sustainability-focused startup that’s combining design and technology to make cities and parks friendlier to everyone.32.What does the author think of buying coffee to access Wi-Fi?A.Enjoyable.B.Expensive.C.Time-consuming.D.Out of
