When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22)____________ (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)____________ they're eating.The research team stresses the fact (24)____________ this is only a brief view of the real problem.

"Floating cities are a means of ensuring climate adaption,as buildings can rise along with the sea."These cities can be designed as climate (6) .They can take advantage of plentiful wind and water power for electricity,and grow food using hydroponics（水耕法）. "From traditional houseboat communities to high-tech experiments,there are many examples to learn from," she added.Some of these experimental floating cities are already in development.Another planned community that's attracting a lot of attention is Oceanix City,which is (7) to have one-third of its 118 islands below sea level within 60 years.Plans for Oceanix City (8) groups of hexagon-shaped（六边形）islands powered by solar and water energy.Tied to the seafloor,each human-made island would (9) around 300 people；the islands would be (10) together in communities of about 10，000 residents.Oceanix citizens would drink processed ocean water and extracted humidity from the air,and dine on a ready supply of seafood.(1)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)Imagine sitting inside a windowless train that's shooting through a tube at twice the speed of an airplane.Your train has no wheels,produces no (3)，makes its own electricity,and isn't affected by bad weather.This is the hyperloop,a new vision for the world's(4)，safest,and greenest form of transportation.Many have(5) this new technology,but others say the hyper loop vision is just a bunch of hot air.Hyperloop developers plan to use the properties of magnets to float,stabilize,and drive the capsules or pods for hundreds of mites through(6) tubes.Without air or ground to slow down the vehicles,what was once a five-hour journey would become a half-hour excursion,engineers promise.Supporters of the technology promote additional(7) of transporting passengers and cargo by hyperloop.For example,they firmly state that unlike other city-to-city transport that's(8)，such as planes or trains,hyperloop vehicles would leave as needed,like Ubers and taxis.While the(9) would hold only 28 to 50 passengers each,developers plan for them to depart stations in groups every minute or so which they say could amount to shuttling 50，000 people an hour.That's more than twice the passenger(10) of the world's fastest trains.Developers also say that hyperloop tubes would be(11) so they wouldn't interfere with other traffic or threaten wildlife.And tubes would be covered with solar panels to power the hyperloop's systems.(12)，advocates regard the hyperloop as the transportation choice for the future.But not everyone is on board.Engineers have calculated that the high-speed vehicles will need to make much wider turns than currently envisioned,and otherwise they won't be(13) for passengers.This would add several miles to the proposed tube tracks,Engineers also say planners haven't included enough time for vehicles to safely brake and take off at stations.Someengineers believe it will take much longer than claimed to pump the(14)out of the tubes before each vehicle's departure.Critics thus say hyperloops can't go as fast or serve as many passengers per hour as advertised,making them(15) existing high-speed transportation options. Hyperloop companies say they're (16) these concerns.They claim that they can safely maintain high speeds by having the vehicles bank around the turns as a plane does.And their hyperloops will rely on the split-second reaction times of a computer to(17) vehiclesquickly,frequently,and safely.2.

The fact that her father was a German migrant laborer.B. The time she spent working as a laborer during the 1920s.C. Her marriage to the Mexican nationalist painter Diego Rivera.D. Her experiences in Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution.18.Placethefollowingeventsintimeorder：① Kahlowashurtinabus accident；②Kahlowitnessed the Mexican Revolution；③ Kahlobegan painting. ______A. ①②③B. ②①③C. ②③①D. ③①②19.The underlined word "turbulent" in Paragraph 3 most probably means. ______A. artistically well-matchedB. fantastic and extremely lovingC. filled with dramatic ups and downsD. very politically conscious20.How were Frida Kahlo's paintings similar to those of the surrealists？______A. They both focused on gender identity.B. They both promoted socialist politics.C. They both contained dreamlike imageryD. They both combined Mexican and European art.EAussie Walkabout Experience21.All the participants are required to ______ .A. pay for the photos recorded onto a CDB. attend a talk on security before the tourC. pick up the guide in the car park near the entranceD. assist in the feeding of different species during the tour22.If a couple with their children,aged 5.8.and 10 want to take part in this activity,how muchwill they pay？______A. ＄220.B. ＄230.C. ＄260.D. ＄270.23.Which of the following is true according to the brochure？______A. There is a free car park for visitors to the zoo.B. Latecomers will be granted entry to the next tour.C. A minimum of four people are permitted on each tour.D. The tour takes place when the zoo is closed to the publicFA few years ago,Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models.Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps.highest must aim highest.and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life's problems with grace as well.The problem is not that we look to these people for perfection when they take off their uniforms.It's that we expect anyone to be our representatives for perfection.That's stupid and it makes the rest of us down here lazy.I get the importance of having heroes,the people who inspire us to cultivate the best potential within us and nurture our better angels.I personally have many heroes,from my mother,Lucy,to my favorite law professor,Howard.But these are personal contacts,people who have-actuallytouched my hand and my heart,and who occupy a pedestal（基座）built of my own experiences and aspirations.To look at an athlete or an actress with high salary and demand that he or she match our dreams is not only a waste of time,but it's dangerous.The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores.That was Barkley's point,not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon our own moral compasses and look to them for true north. Recently on a television program I participated in,the discussion turned to KathleenKane.Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney genera（首席检察官）in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office.I offered the opinion that Kane was unquestionably criticized and that it was not hatred towards woman but incompetence at the root of the attacks.After the show aired,I had people emailing to tell me that I was either a traito（叛徒）for publicly attacking a fellow female when we need to stand together behind this "role model"，or a fool for not going a step further to say that this incompetent lawyer had made it harder for all women to move to the next level.How depressing!Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people？The answer is obvious：Kane has stopped being an attorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General.She can't just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures,many of whom look and sound like us,we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know,and the heroic potential within ourselves.Or,perhaps,the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity.24.Many people were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because ______ .A. he broke fundamental principles in lifeB. he was not good enough to be a role modelC. he doubted the perfection of some sports figuresD. he thought sports figures could have weaknesses25.According to Barkley,why is it dangerous to take public figures as heroes？______A. Because we may let go of our own moral standards.B. Because an athlete or actress cannot match our dreams.C. Because we blindly admire public figures for their faults.D. Because we shouldn't waste time imitating public figures.26.From the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was ______ .A. unfairly criticized due to being femaleB. the first female attorney general in the USC. less qualified than the public had expectedD. a role model for women seeking elected office27.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？______A. Be Our Representatives for PerfectionB. Exploration of Our Own Heroic PotentialC. Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public FiguresD. Our Conventional Views of Female PoliticianMotivating Employees under Unfavourable Conditions It is a great deal easier to motivate employees in a growing organization than a declining one.When organizations are expanding,promotional opportunities,pay rises,and the excitement of being associated with a dynamic organization create feelings of optimism.When an organization is shrinking,the best a nd mobile workers are likely to leave voluntarily. (1) .The minor employees remain because their job options are limited.Morale（士气）also suffers during decline.People fear they may be the next to be made unnecessary.Productivity often Suffers,as employees spend their time sharing rumors and providing one another with moral support rather than focusing on their jobs.(2) .Pay cuts,unheard of during times of growth,may even be imposed.The challenge to management is how to motivate employees under such special conditions.(3) .For example,if the job is running a small business or an autonomous unit within a larger business,high achievers should be sought.High achievers will do best when the job provides moderately challenging goats and where there is independence and feedback.The literature on goal-setting theory suggests that managers should ensure that all employees have specific goals and receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals.Regardless of whether goals are achievable or well within management's perceptions of the employee's ability,if employees see them as unachievable they will reduce their effort. (4) .Since employees have different needs,managers should use their knowledge of each employee to personalize the rewards over which they have control.Some of the more obvious rewards that managers allocate include pay,promotions and the opportunity to participate in goal-setting and decision-making.28.

F32.Can Birdsong Make You Happier？If you are able to step outside and hear many types ofbirds,you might also have a greater feeling of well-being.Two studies show that hearing diverse birdsongs may help increase our happiness.One study was done by the researchers at California Polytechnic State University.The team studied the effects of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S.state of Colorado.Danielle Ferraro,who led the Cal Poly study,says that there could be anevolutionary reason why we like birdsong.The idea is that when we hear birdsong it could signal safety to us.There could be many other reasons too Ferraro states that in some areas around the world birdsong can also signal the arrival of spring and nice weather.Bird diversity,she adds,can also mean a healthy environment.Similarly,scientists in Germany examined for the first time whether a diverse nature alsoincreases human well-being across Europe.The researchers looked at the EuropeanQuality of Life Survey to study the connection between the different kinds of birds in their surroundings and life satisfaction.They looked at more than 26，000 adults from 26European countries. "Europeans are particularly satisfied with their lives if theirsurroundings have a high species diversity," explains the study's lead author,JoelMethorst,a researcher at the Goethe University in Frankfurt.He and his team found that the happiest Europeans are those who can experience many different kinds of birds in their daily life,or who live in near-natural surroundings that are home to many species.So,if birdsong is good for our mental health,how can we increase the different types of birdsongs we hear？Scientists also mentioned, "We would recommend planting native trees and flowers because we have a lot of pretty decorative plants in our cities.And they might look nice to us,but birds can't necessarily use them.So,we think it important to have species that are native to the area to increase bird diversity."________________________33.李华习惯每周日早上帮妈妈拖地板。

So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals. He also began doing research about what hospitals had the most amount of coronavirus cases, so he could prioritize those places first. He was also arranging for the orders to be fulfilled at local family-owned restaurants impacted by shutdown orders. So far, Nigam has delivered over 1,000meals to 22 hospitals in 13 states, including New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.Nigam's efforts have not only helped health care workers, but restaurants as well. With quarantine restrictionstaking a toll onthe food industry, places like Best Coast Burrito in Oakland, Calif. , have lost business over the last few weeks.

Do something helpful for health care workers.13. What is Nigam's priority when delivering food?A. The urgency of meals.B. The severity of the virus.C. The number of doctors.D.

A. explore B. demonstrate C. evaluate D. cultivateD"The main surprise is how widespread the effects were," says senior author Martin Genner, an evolutionary ecologist at the University of Bristol. "We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked at, from small forms of plants and animals to marine invertebrates(无脊椎动物), and from fish to seabirds."The new study builds on early evidence of the impact of climate changes on the distribution, diversity and seasonality of marine species. Based on those findings, Genner's team reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading (pole-ward) edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing (equator-ward) side. They also realized that existing global species distribution databases could be used to test this idea.Based on a thorough search of available data in the literature, the researchers now report on a global analysis of diversity trends for 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century. The results show that—just as predicted—diversity increases have been most obvious where sampling has taken place at the pole-ward side of species ranges, while diversity declines have been greatest where sampling has taken place at the equator-ward side of species ranges.The findings show that large-scale changes in the diversity of species are well underway. They also suggest that marine species haven't managed to adapt to warmer conditions. The researchers therefore suggest that projected sea temperature increases of up to 1.5°C overpre-industrial levels by 2050 will continue to lead to shifts in the diversity of marine species, including those of importance for coastal livelihoods."This matters because it means that climate changes are not only leading to diversity changes, but naturally affecting the performance of species locally," Genner says.The results show that the effects of climate changes on marine species are highly uniformand not a little. "While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms, the findings point toward a future in which we will also see continued loss of marine life," Genner says.17.According to the passage, what did Genner's team conclude？A. Climate changes have a great effect on the growth of fish.B. Species data can be used to test the study.C. Arctic marine species grow better than those at the equator.D. Marine species can adapt to the warm environment.18.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some sea creatures may benefit from warming oceans.B. Climate Changes have little to do with the richness of species.C. The effect of climate changes on marine life has improved.D. Marine life will benefit from ocean warming in the future.19.What does the underlined part of the last paragraph mean?A. similar and slightB. nowhere and a little bitC. everywhere and enormousD. nothing and uneventful20.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Study of the Disappearance of Marine life.B. Impact of Climate Changes on Marine Species.C. Analysis of Species Distribution Database.D.

As performance managers came up with increasingly well-designed ways to make money from the capital's huge potential audience, Victorians effectively invented the modern leisure industry - including theme parks, pubs and professional football. As a new book by historian Lee Jackson explains, the hunt for profit involves surrounding morality, class and empire. So where did Victorians go for fun？And what still exists today？Dancing Rooms：Argyll Rooms, PiccadillyIt's now a building site near Leicester Square, but when the Argyll Rooms lost its licence in 1878，there was a riot（暴乱）. Drunken students were so angry at the closure of their favourite place that they took to the streets.The Argyll closed as the dance craze came to an end,and Bignell turned the space into the Trocadero music hall. It kept that name through the 20th century when it was transformed into one of London's most tasteless tourist attractions. The site currently awaits development into a hotel.Pleasure gardens：Gremorne Gardens, ChelseaGremorne was run by three West End pub owners, popular among the young people then. It closed in 1877 after losing its licence. Pleasure gardens more generally lost their meaning of existence with the establishment of public parks. London's rapid growth meant the valuable land was usually sold to big companies for other purposes, which is why so little of London's great pleasure gardens remain.Pleasure gardens were also overshadowed by larger exhibition grounds such as the Crystal Palace, which tried to find a way of balancing entertainment with cultural education. Little physically remains of the Crystal Palace itself, which moved to Sydenham from Hyde Park in 1854，but the grand 200-acre grounds still exist as a public park.On the site of the Methodist Central Hall was a short-lived attraction that attempted to transport the seaside to central London. It was railways that made Margate and Southend accessible to Londoners, and some of the leisure activities peculiar to the seaside soon made it back to the capital.Football grounds：Craven Cottage, Stevenage Road, FulhamFulham FC，London's oldest professional football club, still works attheir first ground, built by the Victorians in 1896. Versions of the sporthad been around for centuries, but it was the Victorians who created the game and thenprofessionalized it. This led to enclosed grounds where spectators paid for admittance, with the income spent on acquiring new players. The modern game was born.24.Which of the following is not similar in meaning to "took to the streets" in Para. 2？______A. gathered together in the streetsB. enjoyed window shoppingC. went outside on the streetsD. protested on the streets25.The reason why fewer great pleasure gardens are left in London is that ______ .A. people built more factoriesB. they were turned into farming landC. the land was sold to developersD. they became university campuses26.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______A. The money from football is used to buy new players.B. London has much on its football history.C. Fulham F.C. is more than 200 years old.D. The Victorians have cultivated many footballers.27.Which of the following is the main idea of this passage？______A. The building of railways led to the theme parks.B. The West End's gardens became big hotels.C. The Victorians largely invented modern leisure industries.D. The income from modern football supports new players.A. Don't get discouraged.B. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question again and again.C. If you don't own a camera, you can buy one or borrow one from others.D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E. With a question like this, you will get more than a "Yes" or "No" reply.F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.The Art of Man-on-the-Street Interviews Have you ever observed the busy people of the street？Do they arouse your infinite thinking？The man-on-the-street interview may become a popular word because it is new. The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hitsthe streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot.（1）______ But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, "Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？" （2）______Hit the streets with confidence. As you approach people,be polite. Say,"Excuse me,I work for a certain well-known TV or radio station, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic." This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.（3）______ If someone tells you she is not interested, move on to the next person. Keep in mind that not everyone wants to be interviewed, so don't get hung up on it.Limit your time. Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.（4）______For the media,the ability to increase ratings and influence may be the only meaning they want. In fact,different people have different views towards the interview. Someone says this should be the product of the fast-food information age.28. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F. F29. A. A B. B C. C D.

Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.How to Protect Your Personal Privacy Online？Cyber crimes are now part of today's digital era, affecting people's lives professionally as well as personally. It is annoying but true that you do not actually have absolute control over who might be watching you online.More than ever, government agencies have focused on fighting against illegal surveillance（监控）programs, raising concerns about protecting online privacy. Here are some suggestions for you to follow.Evaluating your online activities is the most crucial task towards protecting your online privacy. You need to assess what personal or private data you are storing or sharing on your computer/mobile devices or online platforms. It is important to identify the value of your information and analyze the risks such as：how safe is your data offline or online？What happens if your personal data gets leaked？These are some basic questions so that you can take necessary steps to solve your online privacy issues.Everything you do comes out once you go online. Your data is being misused by some advertisers and online marketers. Some illegal programs make your system threatened, invade your privacy and steal your confidential information. So, installing genuine and latest anti-virus software is critically important to protect your devices from such threats.That is to use original or latest anti-virus software, browsers, etc. Also, stay up-to-date with the current tools, methods and technology. You can reduce the risks by becoming more educated on the leading tools, and methods available in the digital world. Youshould learn and follow the security rules and pay attention to the information you share on social networking sites.To prevent unauthorized access to your system, you should choose a strong password string that will never be easy for hackers to get. That is to enforce a strong password. And do not use one common password for multiple services because if one service is broken, you'll lose control of the others. Tony, a security software maker, suggests that consumers should use different email addresses for different purposes so that hackers cannot match an email stolen from a website to one from a bank.33.天气变冷，当心别感冒了。
