At the time, I didn't get it, but I took the advice to heart and worked in restaurants on and off for the next eight years. Before realizing it, I mastered many important skills, one of which is communication skill.When I was little, I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me. And when I first started in restaurants, I had two personalities: Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy. It was easier to pretend to be a different person while at work, since it was so different from who I actually was. But gradually, the skills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.When you work in a restaurant, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking to people. I'm still 110% an introvert, but restaurant work helped me communicate. Working in a restaurant not only helped me speak clearly, deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything. Some guests don't want their servers to interact too much with them, and that's fine. But some sit at the bar simply to chat with you. You learn how to judge your guests' level of interest in communicating with you, and how to exit a conversation at the appropriate time.My restaurant work is something that I'm most proud of and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without those eight years of experience. If you're still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long, start with one year. I doubt that you'll look back.4. What did the writer think of the server's words?A. Impressive.B. Ridiculous.C. Amusing.D. Logical.5. What do we infer from Paragraph 2?A. The writer tried different jobs.B. The writer became more sociable.C. The writer used an invented name.D. The writer had a hard time at work.6. Which of the following best describes the writer's restaurant work?A. Boring.B. Relaxing.C. Worthwhile.D. Unchallenging.7. What message does the writer try to convey in this passage?A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B. Things are difficult before they are easy.C. Communication skills advance your career.D. Restaurantwork helps to achieve a better self.CJohn Montefiore's path to graduation from theUniversityofTorontowas a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995.Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished businessuntil he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future.The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an important role in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time. As a student much older than others, he found it harder to make friends with classmates.However, no matter what had happened before, he finally got his bachelor's degree. He said, “After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. It's not necessarily the value that other people see in it, but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidence and my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.”8. Why was Montefiore's graduation unusual?A. He had achieved personal success before.B. He understood the importance of a degree.C. He finished his degree at a much older age.D. He began his university study at a young age.9. What does the underlined word "stalled" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Stopped.B. Started.C. Survived.D. Succeeded.10. What can we learn about Montefiore from the third paragraph?A. He got good grades very easily.B. He took his study seriously this timeC. He was thankful for his classmates' helpD. He had difficulty using support services.11. What did Montefiore learn from his experience?A. Confidence is important in one's life.B. Others' opinions on education matter a lot.C. Higher education is a must for personal success.D. Education makes one feel better about himself.DExperts are warning about the risks of extremely picky(挑剔的)eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss. Eye doctors inBristolcared for the 17-year-old after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency(缺乏). Dr. Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.”The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to theBristolEyeHospitalbecause of progressive sight loss.He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr Denize Atan, “That means he can’t drive and would find it reallyarduousto read, watch TV or recognize faces.”Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned , she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating , and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement(补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too manycertain vitamins , including vitamin A, can be harmful ,“so you don’t want to overdo it.”12. What does Dr Denize Atan imply in paragraph 1?A. The diet of the boy is not balanced.B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.C. Picky eating is common among teenagers.D. The cause of the boy’s disease is unknown.13. Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14?A. To improve his poor diet.B. To get some help to lose weight.C. To be treated for his discomfort.D. To slow down his progressive sight loss.14. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Important.B. Easy.C. Necessary.D. Difficult.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Reasons why the boy is seriously ill.B.Suggestions for the boy’s family to care for him.C. Advice for parents worried about picky eating.D. Waysof taking in enough vitamins and minerals.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。

For a moment,it seemed to consider coming towards us,which made me a little nervous ﹣but then it went off along the road and into the bushes.That wasn't the only wildlife we saw.I thought it unlikely we'd see famous Koala bears during our short visit.In fact,at our next stop,we saw roughly six million in that area! Sadly,some gum trees they were in had very few leaves left,which people told us was because of the Koalas,although I'd read that lack of water is idea the problem.Dad had booked a campsite for the night,with ready﹣made tents ﹣for an adventure!I wasn't sure about,but they were really luxury tents,within walking distance of some famous rocks and other places we hoped to visit.However,Dad also said the sounds of wild creatures would help us sleep.That sounded worrying﹣until the "wild creature" turned out to be frogs! So I was embarrassed by my fears ﹣and kept awake by the frogs! But we had fun making meals together ﹣we'd brought food,as we knew there'd be nowhere to eat.In fact,this whole trip was fantastic!(1)The passage is mainly about Donna's visit to his grandparent,isn't it?(2)Why did Dona' s Dad decide not to drive he Great Ocean Road himself?(3)How was Donna when she saw a big kangaroo along the route?(4)What has caused the gum tress such a bad state?(5)Where did Donna's family spend the night?(6)What did Donna like and dislike about the place where they stayed?Writing(作文):(总20分)53.(20分)Write a letter of at least 60 words based on the given situation.(根据所给情境,写一封不少于60个词的信,标点符号不占格)A friend of yours is studying at home and has asked you to recommend a learning tool.你的一位朋友最近在家自学,想请你推荐一个学习工具.Write a letter to your friend.In your letter:•say what the learning tool is(give it an interesting name)•describe the learning tool and its uses•tell the reason why you recommend itRemember :the learning tool can be a reference book,a website,a program,an app,or whatever you use to help you with your study.(注意:文中不得出来考生的地名、校名及其他相关信息,否则不予评分.).2020年上海市杨浦区中考英语二模试卷参考答案与试题解析Part1 Listening(第一部分听力)I.

However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.4. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A. They often have people hurt.B. They are difficult to practice.C. People have a wrong view on it.D. People practice them more often.5. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Difficult.C. Friendly.D. Exciting.6. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A. Adjusting the breath.B. Enjoying one’s free time.C. Correcting the movement.D. Keeping one’s attention.7. What does the writer think of martial arts?A. They are notsports.B. They attracted many teenagers.C. They are beneficial and helpful.D. They were invented to protect others.CByteDance(字节跳动)Group’s TikTok, an overseas version of Chinese short video sharing app Douyin, faces an existential crisis in the United States, as murmurs of a “crackdown”(强制取缔)from the White House forced the Chinese company toengage in talks on selling its US business to Microsoft.TikTok is the fastest-growing registered global mobile internet app, with more than 100 million users, and its rapid growth, especially in the US, is seen as a threat to Facebook. The US government has long viewed globally competitive Chinese high-tech companies including Huawei as a threat and done whatever it could to crack down on(打击)them in the name of “national security”.The US government has not introduced any specific policy against TikTok only threatened it through a number of unclear statements.According to the latest media reports, Microsoft is prepared to press ahead withthe negotiations to take over TikTok’s US operations and complete the negotiations by Sept 15, following talks between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and US President Donald Trump.This means that TikTok will have to hand its fate over to some unpredictable power, and even have to sell its assets without the option of setting a price.The US government has failed to find a reasonable legal excuse to deal with TikTok. All private data of TikTok’s US users are stored in the US and are unlikely to be transferred. Considering the US government is trying to dealwith TikTok in a political way, TikTok should consider incorporating(合并)the dispute into the US legal process to assert(坚持)its legal rights and interests.TiKTok’s core value lies in its unique algorithms,a product of artificial intelligence that represents the expertise of Chinese engineers and programmers with high-value intellectual property.The US government’s move, which has forced ByteDance to sell TikTok to a US company, is similar to a forced technology transfer and an example of the US’ openseizureof Chinese intellectual property.If ByteDance sells TikTok to a US company for “security reasons", that would set a dangerous precedent, motivating other countries where TikTok operates to follow the US administration's example and cause a chain reaction.ByteDance is a young Chinese private company that cannot deal with a political game played by the US. But as a Chinese company that has gone global, ByteDance has reasons to take up legal means to defend its legal rights. The Chinese government can also consider examining whether the technology transfer in the deal violates China’s law and harms the country’s national interests.8. What is the most valuable as for TikTok?A. Its global popularity.B. Its artificial intelligence.C. Its registered global mobile internet app.D. Its private data of TikTok’s worldwide users.9. Why does the American government force the Chinese company to hand over TikTok’s US operations to a US company?A. Out of so-called political reasons.B. Out of so-called debt reasons.C. Out of so-called technical reasons.D. Out of so-called security reasons.10. What does the underlined word “seizure”probably mean in Para. 8?A. An untrue spoken statement about someone.B. The use of legal authority to take sth from sb.C. The crime of stealing sth from a person or place.D. The act of trying to hurt somebody using physical violence.11. What can be the best title for the news report?A. TikTok must defend its rights legallyB. TikTok is seen as a threat to FacebookC. ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US companyD. ByteDance agrees to transfer technologyDSam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.I'm back where I started from.Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountainair and try to solve my problem more realistically.12. What does this excerpt main describe?A. Delicate mental activities.B. Unique story environment.C. Everchanging story events.D. Complicated character relationship.13. What is Sam's first worry?A. How to get back quicklyB. How to get enough venison.C. How to ensure the safety of Frightful.D. How to provide meat for Alice and himself.14. What do we know about Frightful?A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food.B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away.C. He is living with the red-tailed hawk happily.D. He has given birth to babies in the university.15. Which of the following can best describe Sam?A. Humorous.B. Aggressive.C. Responsible.D. Unrealistic.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。

This (31)_______ of anchoring emotions and memories with physical touch is now well supported by studies and frequently used by those who practice Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP).Evidence that the mind and body connection exists in building and (32)_______ memories is abundant. More recently, however, researchers have been turning their attention to the (33)_________ between exercise and the brain. They are finding evidence that supports the belief that exercise can boost brain power.How can that happen? U.S. researchers have found that exercise helps that brain develop new brain cells in an area of the brain called the dentate gyrus. This area is known to be involved with age-related memory loss. The studies performed (34)_______ mice and later humans supported the evidence found in those studies: there was increased blood flow to the memory center of the brain after exercise, which may help optimize the way the brain (35)_______.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A round face, big eyes, soft fur and a quiet purr. It’s not easy to resist the company of an adorable cat. No wonder French-German philosopher Albert Schweitzer once said, “There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.”Indeed, it’s no secret how much people around the world love cats. From China’s Sina Weibo to US video-sharing site YouTube, bloggers across the globe love to show off their cats.In September, a charitable activity called “Cat Month” was held in Beijing. It was meant to encourage more people to care for our furry friends, especially stray cats.Cats become such a big part of pop culture in China that young people have come up with cat-relatedslang phrases, such as “cat slave” to refer to people who adore their cats, and “a daily dose ofcats” to refer to having to watch a certain number of cat videos to get through the day.People in Japan are also huge fans of cats. As the birthplace of Hello Kitty and the “beckoning cat”, Japan made a “cat train” that was ridden around the country by 30 stray cats in 2017. Passengers could sit and play with the cats on the train, offering the animals plenty of care and warmth.Istanbul, a historic city in Turkey, is also friendly to cats. In the recent documentary film Kedi, which hit Chinese cinemas in September, director Ceyda Torun showed us the daily lives of seven street cats with vivid narration. Cats there are not afraid of people. They go in and out of almost everywhere – coffee shops, markets, universities, and even government buildings. If you sit on a park bench, a cat is likely to come and snuggle with you.Seeing how cats have become a worldwide addiction, you may wonder why some people prefer cats over dogs. This may be down to how they identify with themselves – modern young people see the independent attitude of cats as something they value more.“Unlike dogs, who look at us with their loving eyes, cats appear to show off their independence. They ask for attention in a way that tells us that they desire human companionship, but they don’t need it,” author Marie-Louise von Franz wrote in her book The Cat: A Tale of Feminine Redemption.56. What’s probably the best title of this passage?A. Time to End LonelinessB. Lovely CatsC.Loving Dogs, Loving CatsD. Cat Slaves57.A.disabledB. caringC. homelessD. restless58.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Japanese offer their care and love to stray cats and used to have a cat train.B.Kedi, a documentary film, tells us daily lives of seven street cats with attractive narration.C.Many people want to show off their cats on websites such as Sina Weibo.D.There are many cat-related slang phrases that people come up with around the world.59.Why do many people become addicted to cats?A.Because they look at us with their loving eyes.B.Because cats are independent and sometimes will show off their characters.C.Because they ask for attention in a way that tells us that they need human companionship.D.Because people prefer cats to dogs.(B)Movies Not to MissIn 2019 there will be returns to classic movie characters and stories. FILE PHOTOS In 2018, to which we’ve just said goodbye, we’ve seen blockbusters such as Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians and A Star Is Born. And there are more exciting movies in the works for 2019. Below TEENS has picked three for you. Let’s take a look.Spider-Man: Far From Home, July 5, USTom Holland, the lead actor of 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, returns to play Peter Parker, a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider.When we see him again in theaters, Spider-Man will have a new red-and-black suit. The movie will take the famous wall-crawler on a global adventure outside of the US. According to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Spider-Man will try a return to his “normal” self; he will try to find his old powers on his new journey.Hobbs and Shaw, July 26, USTo most people the Fast and Furious series is all about crazy drivers racing in sports cars. But in its spin-off, called Hobbs and Shaw, humor is added to the action-packed thrills.The new film will hit US theaters on July 26. Famous robust English actor Jason Statham will star alongside Dwayne Johnson, “The Rock”, as Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs respectively, as in their previous appearances in Fast and Furious films.When the pair fought face to face in Fast and Furious 8 (2017), a confrontation was dubbed the “battle model for warriors”. The action and chemistry really stimulated their audience.But the new action scenes between an MI6 agent Hobbs and the killer Shaw will have to be good to beat their stand-off in the 2017 movie.The Lion King, July 19, USThis is a brand-new version of the classic children’s film. The story of wide-eyed young lion Simba still remains in hearts of world audiences even after 25 years. In this re-telling, Simba again begins the difficult journey to become the King of the Pride Lands, a vast African prairie.The favorite part of the story for many has always been the friendship between Simba, the meerkat called Timon and the warthog Pumbaa. The last two sacrifice all they have to help Simba to his throne. How will the new movie re-imagine their famous relationship?60.Where might this passage come from?A.An report in a newspaper.B. A notice in the window of a cinema.B.A magazine about fashion. D. A advertisement distributed by a cinema.61.Which film is filled with adventure and humor?A.Spider-Man: Far From HomeB. The Lion KingC. Hobbs and ShawD. The Fast and Furious62.Which of the following statement is true according to the article?A.In Spider-man: Far From Home, Tom Holland, the lead director will return to play Peter Parker.B.In The Lion King wide-eyed young lion Simba eventually becomes the King of the Pride Lands, avast African prairie.C.The new action scenes in Hobbs and Shaw is a confrontation which is dubbed the “battle modelfor warriors”.D.In 2019, there will be three classic movies to be released in the US in all.(C)A radio report caught my attention the other day, as it spoke straight to my heart: Cadets (学员) at the US Naval Academy are now required to revisit and potentially revive the ancient skill of steering a ship by the stars.By the stars―imagine that: looking up at the sky, not down at a screen, so many years after the heavens’ critical role in guiding mariners has fallen by the wayside, first displaced by radio waves, then by modern GPS. Much is gained―but something also lost―in such progress, I think.It reminded me of my love of 18th- and 19th-century seafaring (航海的) tales (reading them is one of my coping mechanisms for life in the landlocked Midwest), when sailors had only celestial (天空的) maps for navigation and still miraculously managed to sail the planet’s vast oceans and even circumnavigate the globe.Recent cyber security concerns have triggered renewed interest in backup navigational strategies such as stargazing, and simple hand-held technologies like the sextant, so often invoked in Richard Henry Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast, a tale that chronicles a mid-19th-century merchant ship’s endlessly harrowing voyage from Boston to California and back.I wouldn’t wish the harsh conditions of that trip on modern sailors, but I am all for anything that gets people clued in to their compass bearings (方位) and travel trajectories without high-tech and often mindless guidance.“Is that north or south of here?” I’ve asked motel clerks and gas station attendants about a particular address I’m seeking in my GPS-less travels.“Well, it’s that way,” comes the most frequent reply, accompanied by a pointed finger, and I realize that north, south, east, and west are not familiar coordinates (坐标) to many people otherwise thoroughly attuned to the local lay of their land.To be fair, I haven’t always been attuned to compass points either. In fact it was not until I was a young adult, lazing on a float in my parents’ pool on a late summer’s visit home, and watching the sun dip below the roofline, that I first realized that my childhood home faced due west. I was shocked that I’d been oblivious to this simple fact, especially since I’d begun to be schooled in geology and certainly in compass work. But like so many, I’d grown up thinking and navigating in terms of other coordinates, based on familiar streets, rights and lefts, and reference points such as my school, the homes of friends, the nearest playground, and the local shopping plaza.I’ve long since become accustomed to finding my bearings on travels in unfamiliar territory by the sun’s position. And now I’d love to sit in on a class at the academy to learn to navigate by the moon and stars. It’s a skill I’ll likely never need to draw upon. Yet just knowing how it would connect me, in a new and profound way, to the historical arc of human experience on this planet.As for modern sailors, it might just bring them safely home one day, if all else fails.63. What kind of role do 18th and 19th century seafaring tales play in the author’s life?A.Enriching his dull inland life.B.Triggering his concern for cyber security.C.Arousing his interest in modern navigational strategies.D.Strengthening his resolve to revive an ancient skill.64. The author mentions his experience of seeking an address in paragraph 6 and 7 to illustrate ______.A.The importance of modern technology such as GPS in travels.B.That it’s essential to learn geography and compass work well at work.C.That many people don’t navigate in terms of coordinates such as north and south.D.The convenience of navigating based on familiar streets, rights and lefts and reference points.65. The underlined phrase “oblivious to” in paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to______.A.obvious toB. familiar withC. unconcerned aboutD. unaware of66. Why does the author plan to learn to navigate by the moon and stars?A.Because he expects to experience the harsh conditions on the voyage in the past.B.Because he is required to revisit this ancient skill as a cadet at the U.S. Naval Academy.C.Because the skill can make his feel connected to the historical heritage of human beings.D.Because the skill can bring sailors home, safe and sound, if modern technology fails.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Children born today may be the last generation to see coral reefs in all their glory. That’s a warning from a marine biologist who is coordinating efforts to monitor the decline of the world’s most colorful ecosystem.Global heating and ocean acidification(酸化) have already taken a heavy toll on the world’s coral reefs. Some 16 to 33 percent of all warm-water reefs have been severely bleached(漂白), and the remaining reefs are vulnerable to even a fraction of a degree more warming, said the marine biologist, David Obura. He chairs the Coral Specialist Group in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.“It will be like lots of lights blinking off,” he told the Observer.“______67______ Between now and 2 degrees Celsius, we will see more reefs dropping off the map.”Today’s reefs have a history going back 25 million to 50 million years. They have survived collisions between the Earth’s tectonic plates(地壳板块), such as that of Africa into Europe, and India into Asia. Yet in five decades, Obura said, mankind has undermined the global climate so fundamentally that the globally connected reef system could be lost in the next generation.The warning follows a landmark UN climate report. ______68______ Scientists warned that if warming reached 2℃, which now appears very likely in the next 50 years, there would be a more than 99% chance that tropical coral reefs would be wiped out.______69______ The UN report also warned of severe knock-on impacts to fisheries and millions of people living in coastal communities, who will lose vital sources of income and be less protected from storms.Coral reefs are often described as undersea forests, but they are declining far more quickly than the Amazon rainforests. ______70______ A temperature rise of just 1 to 2 degrees Celsius can cause the algae(藻类) upon which corals(珊瑚虫) depend to leave. That would drain the coral reefs of colour and make the structure more easily broken. These bleaching events can be temporary if waters cool, but the more frequent they are and the longer they last, the greater the risk of irreparable damage.IV. Summary Writing(10分)Directions: Read the following passage. 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.Fed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices? The solution may be just a few steps away. “Energy harvesting” promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more than your body’s movement or heat.Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices. In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices. Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips that create electricity from ultrasound to power implantable devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases. A textile research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a Columbia University study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling. It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products.第II卷(共40分)V.

The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humansto harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but stillenough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and thatheat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.4. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?A. It will be used for medical purposes.B. It will be made smaller and wearable.C. It will change natural power into electricity.D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.5. Why does the author mentionThe Matrixseries in the text?A. To give an explanation.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce a topic.D. To analyze the cause.6. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The strengths of Xiao's device.B. The convenience of using a battery.C. The replacement of wearable devices.D. The development of traditional electronics.7. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?A. It operates with plenty of power.B. It is designed for practical use.C. It benefits people's health in a way.D. It's based on traditional electronics.CYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are manymore creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.9. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.DAfter finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-programcalled "Clear Plate" on his phone and took a picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence. The credit points can be used to buy gifts, such as books, cellphones and red wine, or to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas.The "Clear Plate" mini-program has become popular among young Chinese. Similar campaigns like an "empty plate challenge" are alsoon the horizonin many Chinese universities."Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste," said Liu Jichen. Founder of the start-up that developed the app. The idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that the restaurant owner would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected. "Everyone who values food is bound to enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost," Liu mentioned this case, noting that such an idea could potentially be realized online.He formeda team to work on the project. Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to assess whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.

The curry was so tasty that it soon(27)________(spread)across Japan.The Korean War gave birth to budae jigae,or“army stew”in Korean.It was first made in US military bases near Seoul,using(28)________ingredients were available,since food was scarce.The tasty stew typically(29)________(consist)of some kind of precooked meat such as ham,American cheese and instant noodles sooncaught on.Many foods were invented at times of conflict to keep soldiers healthy. Fortunately,some of those foods still exist to keep(30)________happy and satisfied. Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Hunting to Farming Is Not Necessarily GoodA.supportB.effectivenessC.expandingD.escapeE.reachedF.questioningG.switchedH.controlI.recordingJ.allowedK.inferringShifting from hunting to farming made life50percent more difficult for humans, a study by Cambridge University suggests.Although farming(31)________ previously wandering communities to stay put and grow,it came at a huge cost. Researcher Dr.Mark Dyble,lived with10Agta groups and found that those who still hunted and searched for their food spent around20hours working in the week to live, but those who had(32)________to farming needed to work30hours for the same amount of food.“For a long time,the shift from hunting to farming was assumed to represent progress,allowing people to(33)________a laborious and uncertain way of life,”said Dr.Dyble.“But as soon as researchers started working with hunter-gatherers they began(34)________this narrative,finding that hunters actually enjoy quite a lot of leisure time.Our data provides some of the clearest(35)________for this idea yet.”The researchers followed359people from the Agta community(36)________how much time they spent on leisure,childcare,domestic chores and out-of-camp work. As well as the overall difference in hours worked,the study also found that women living in the communities most involved in farming had half as much leisure time as those in communities which only hunted.Co-author,Dr.Abigail Page added:“We have to be really careful when(37)________from contemporary hunter-gatherers to different societies in pre-history.”But if the first farmers really did work harder than hunters then this begs an important question-why did humans adopt agriculture?Previous studies suggested the adoption of farming grew up to help cope with(38) ________societies,although other experts claimed that it was agriculture itself that allowed sedentary(定栖的)communities to expand,and once they(39)________a certain size,it would have been impossible for groups to return to a hunter-gathering lifestyle,even if they had wanted to.Dr.Page says:“The amount of leisure time that Agta enjoy is evidence to the(40)________of the hunter-gatherer way of life.This leisure time also helps to explain how these communities manage to share so manyskills and so much knowledge within lifetimes and across generations.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Developments in artificial intelligence,robotics and sensors(传感器)are making houses and apartments smarter than ever.IT'S6A.M.,and the alarm clock is ringing earlier than usual.It’s not a malfunction:the smart clock scanned your schedule and(41)_________because you’ve got that big presentation first thing in the morning.Your shower automatically turns on and warms to your preferred temperature.The electric car is(42)________ to go,charged by the solar panels.When you get home later,there’s a(n)(43) _________package waiting,delivered by drone.You open it to find cold medicine.It turns out that health sensors in your bathroom detected(44)________of an approaching illness and placed an order automatically.That at least is the ideal version of the smart home that exists10years out. Swedish research firm Berg Insight says63million American homes will(45) ________as“smart”by2022,with everything from Internet-connected light bulbs to cameras that let us spy on our pets from the office.But a decade from now,experts say,we’ll move from turning the lights on and off with our voices to total engagement in the Internet of Things(IoT).(46)________advancements in artificial intelligence, the smartest homes will be able to truly learn about their owners,eventually foretelling their(47)________.Developments in robotics will give us machines that offer a helping hand with cleaning,cooking and more.New sensors will be(48)________watching our well-being.(49)________to all of this will be the data that smart homes collect,analyze and act upon,helping to turn the houses of the future from a mere collection of devices and accessories into truly“smart”homes.Of course,as our homes learn more about us,keeping them(50)________will become all the more important.Every(51)______that’s connected to the Internet is a potential target for hackers.Therefore,cybersecurity will become all the more vital.A range of technological developments will drive smart-home technology well beyond what’s available on store shelves today.Innovations in artificial intelligence, (52)_______,stand to reverse almost everything in our lives,including our homes. You might already be using some kind of Al-powered voice-assistant device to get the latest news or weather forecast every morning.But in the smart home of the future, those Al platforms could serve as the brain for entire homes,learning about(53) ________and organizing and automating all of their various smart devices.ITcompany Crestron,for example,is working on software that(54)________a person’s habits,like which music they want to hear in the morning or which lights they want to be on at a certain time of the day.Then,once it knows a user’s(55)________,it automatically plays just the right playlists or dims the lights before bedtime.41.A.attempted B.adjusted C.approved D.assisted42.A.free B.likely C.ready D.eager43.A.unexpected B.disconnected C.unsealed D.misplaced44.A.symbols B.signals C.codes D.signs45.A.serve B.qualify C.behave D.model46.A.In spite of B.Instead of C.In addition to D.Thanks to47.A.needs B.dangers C.instincts D.responses48.A.deeply B.barely C.closely D.manually49.A.Accessible B.Central C.Relative D.Objective50.A.personal B.special C.specific D.secure51.A.camera B.bulb C.device D.model52.A.by contrast B.for example C.in turn D.at least53.A.residents B.operators C.relatives D.consumers54.A.transforms B.tracks C.treats D.trains55.A.conditions B.features C.preferences D.characters Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For almost500years,people have wondered what deadly disease wiped out most of the Aztecs(阿芝特克人).The locals called it cocolizthi,and now a team of scientists think they know exactly what that was.The outbreak is considered to be one of the deadliest epidemics(传染病)in human history.For centuries,its cause has been debated by historians.New evidence suggests that the Aztecs died from a type of bacteria called salmonella enterica.An international team of scientists came to this conclusion after analysing the skeletons(骨骼)of29Aztecs buried in a cocoliztli cemetery in the Oaxaca region of Mexico.The scientists obtained samples from the teeth of ten of the skeletons.They compared these with their database of bacteria and found traces of salmonella enterica.Salmonella enterica can cause enteric fever,of which typhoid(伤寒)is a type. Today,there are around21million cases of typhoid worldwide and it is considered aglobal threat.The Aztecs were fierce hunter-gatherers who settled in what is now Mexico at the beginning of the13th century.From their incredible capital city Tenochtitlan(now Mexico City),the Aztecs fought wars with other tribes until they ruled much of the region.The Aztecs ended up controlling large parts of Mesoamerica--now much of Mexico and Central America--until Spanish explorers arrived in1519and brought with them advanced weapons and deadly diseases.The team believe that the domesticated animals,such as goats and horses,which the explorers brought with them carried the deadly bacteria.By1545,not even30years after the Spanish had arrived,Mexico’s Aztec nation started coming down with a terrible illness.Symptoms included high fever,headaches and bleeding from the eyes,nose and mouth.Within five years,up to15million people---more than80%of the population at the time--had died from the mystery illness they called cocoliztli.The Aztec people had no immunity(免疫)to fight the disease.“We cannot say with certainty that salmonella enterica was the cause of the cocolizti epidemic,”said Kirsten Bos from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany.“We do believe that it should be considered a strong candidate.”56.________helped the scientists come to the conclusion.A.Certain traces of deadly diseases carried by goats and horsesB.Extensive comparison of Aztecs buried in a cocoliztli cemeteryC.Definite discoveries of infected tooth samples from the databaseD.Small amounts of certain bacteria in the teeth of the skeletons57.Which of the following is TRUE about the Aztecs?A.They had a population of about15million around1545.B.Their livelihood depended on raising domesticated animals.C.Their population dropped sharply in the middle16th century.D.They won the wars with the Spanish despite being poorly equipped.58.The underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refers to_________.A.cocolizti epidemicB.salmonella entericaC.the typhoidD.the Max Planck Institute59.The passage is mainly about________.A.how the Aztecs got infected with salmonella entericaB.why the Aztecs had no immunity to fight typhoidC.which reason caused the Aztecs to abandon their native landD.what led to the military and economic decline of the Aztecs(B)60.By using the app released by SOLEIF,people can________.A.watch a video about the statue’s historyB.appreciate the exhibits in the museumC.view the statue from different anglesD.see a life-size model of the statue61.Where can we find both apps and popular videos?C.Apple’s iPadD.SOLELF62.The following words can be used to describe the Xploro app EXCEPT_______.A.entertainingB.interactivermativeD.sensitive(C)American writer A.N.DEVERS was at a rare-book fair in New York City in2015 when she noticed a Joan Didion title selling for just$25.Then she saw the price tag of a novel by the equally famous Cormac McCarthy:about$600.“I realized we don’t value women’s work the same way we do men’s,”Devers says.“It’s depressing.But it’s also exciting,because I can do something about it.”Three years later,after moving to London and joining the U.K.’s booming rare-book trade,Devers opened the red doors of her new bookstore,the Second Shelf. Located in a quiet courtyard off the busy streets of London’s Soho,the store almost exclusively stocks rare books by women(alongside a handful of male-authored books about women).The focus is modern fiction:Elizabeth Bowen novels,romances by Rosamunde Pilcher,poetry by Ntozake Shange.Devers’skill for finding overlooked jewels was polished during a childhood of visits to yard sales in towns across the U.S.,a result of her family’s following her father’s Air Force job.Some of her most sought-after recent finds were works by Miriam Tlali,the first black woman to publish a novel in South Africa.Devers hit on her1975debut in a charity store and quickly sourced and sold15more Tlali books.In collecting these works,the Second Shelf is correcting a historical imbalance that has allowed women’s literary achievements to be eclipsed.Bookdealers have tended to be men;much of the trade’s early material was collected by“country gentlemen who ran estates and amassed libraries of books to show their wealth and intelligence,”Devers says.She argues that they’ve been like their peers in other male-led creative industries--including television,film and the news media--in that “they focus on themselves.”That past contributes to a plain absence of women’s work among the books considered to be valuable cultural objects.In January,the Second Shelf went viral (走红)on Twitter after Devers pointed out that only nine books by women appeared in a list,produced by a trade website,of the500biggest sales at auction in the books-and-paper field last year.Even among more recently published works,a2018 study found,titles by women are on average priced45%lower than books by men.In recent years,calls have gone out to read only books by women for a year and for universities to expand their curriculums.The observance of Women’s History Month in the U.S.has also made March a time for publishers to suggest fitting reading lists.Devers’shop is the physical site of that movement challenging the current situation.“We’ve been taught to find value in something really narrow,”she says.“It’s time to explore something different.”63.The first paragraph tells the readers__________.A.why Devers named her shop the Second ShelfB.how Devers was exposed to rare book tradeC.what motivated Devers to open the Second ShelfD.where Devers first came across women’s literary works64.The underlined word“eclipse”in the fourth paragraph means________.A.fully exposedB.partially concealedC.seriously treatedD.roughly explained65.Which may explain the absence of the great literary works by women?A.The trade used to be dominated by men.B.Women writers’ideas conflict with the bookdealers’.C.Males tend to be productive in the creative industry.D.The majority of male readers don’t read modern fiction.66.What can be inferred from the passage?A.In recent years,university curriculums have emphasized books by women.B.Women's History Month has pushed women writers to be more productive.C.More physical bookstores like Devers’are needed to change the situation.D.The Second Shelf is helping turn a page for women in literature.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentencegiven in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.In addition to painting on canvas,Crisco also paints on musical instruments.B.However,no matter what the scene is,none of the paintings focus on the darkness.C.His paintings take you on an unknown adventure into an unknown space, reminding you to be alert and brave.D.Through the use of glowing paint,he brings a sense of magic and energy to thescenes that he creates.E.Studies have shown that expressing themselves through art can help people with depression and anxiety.F.As a self-taught artist,he found his passion for art at a dark time in his life when he found himself suddenly out of work.Bringing Light to the Darkness with Crisco ArtMost paintings are best enjoyed in galleries with good lighting.But an Italian artist who goes by the name Crisco is changing the way we look at paintings with a new approach:glow(发光)-in-the-dark paint.Crisco’s paintings are beautiful in normal lighting,but it is when the lights go down that they really come alive.(67)_________________His art mostly shows landscapes.Trees,horizons,and especially starry skies come alive with the glow of his paints.At the center of most of his work,there is often a human or animal figure. The figure may be just a shadow surrounded by the glowing colors,but it often appears to be the source of the light.(68)_________________Instead,they are all bright pictures of hope,life,wonder,and growth.They are Crisco's way of adding a little light to the world.Crisco’s full name is Cristoforo Scorpiniti.(69)___________________Instead of letting a negative experience get the best of him,he threw himself into a new pursuit:art.According to Crisco,he paints with glowing colors to inspire hope. Though his paintings often show night scenes that look good in the dark,Crisco does not focus on the darkness.Instead,he uses his paintings to express positivity by creating light in the darkness.A lot of his best work has come out of just painting what he felt at the time without any plan or structure.(70)_____________________With over half a million followers on Instagram,Crisco is already popular on social media for his unique paintings.He’ll surely only get more famous in the future for his inspiring paintings that beautifully mix darkness and light.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Building a Greener FutureYear after year,Earth’s precious resources are becoming increasingly scarce.Still people need materials to build new houses,office buildings and schools.There’s only one solution to this problem:do more with less.That’s what sustainable construction is all about.Advocates of sustainable construction believe the entire building process can be done without harming the environment,and by doing so,the earth is kept sustainable for future generations.To make these green buildings possible,however, the process must be implemented from the beginning.Picture a city government that wants to build a green office building.The first thing these city planners would do is select a site with a small environmental impact. Ideally,they would choose a site that had already been developed,thus keeping the forests and grasslands protected.Next,city planners would turn their attention toward the construction process. Only green materials could be used to build their office towers.These include wood, steel,and other materials that have been recycled from destroyed buildings.If possible,they have been manufactured,recovered,or resourced locally.The closer that these green materials are to the construction site,the less energy is wasted getting them to where they’re needed.Maintenance costs are the next important factors that need to be considered.City planners would design heating and cooling systems that use as little energy as possible.They would fit solar roof panels that will absorb the heat from the sun to power the building.Toilets and sinks designed to minimize water waste would be fitted throughout the building.These efficiencies don’t just help to protect the environment;they can save money over the long run as well.After all this was finished,the city planners would relax and maybe even throw a party.They have designed a building that was green at every step--the golden rule of sustainable construction.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.弘扬中华民族的美德,并不意味着我们不需要与时俱进。

Twilight Tour3.Where will you read this text most likely?A.In a guidebook.B.In a magazine.C.In a newspaper.D.On the Internet.BMark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It’s life-changing but it’s not life-ending,”he says.After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to ask Eric Catalano, a tattoo artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio in Hecker, Illinois. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, and it eventually was viewed by millions of people around the world. The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical tattooing. Now people who want to cover their life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop.Leslie Pollan, a dog breeder, was bitten on the face by a puppy. She underwent countless surgeries but those gave her no hope. She ultimately traveled six hours for a session with Catalano. HecamouflagedPollan’s lip scar, giving her back confidence.Though he is now known for his talent with intricate fingernail, Catalano uses the techniques he picked up years ago while helping breast cancer survivors. Those tattoos are among the most common paramedical requests. His grandmother had breast cancer, and her battle with the disease is one reason Catalano is so dedicated to helping those with the diagnosis.Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos each “Wellness Wednesday”. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn’t charge for paramedical tattoos: A GoFundMe page established last year brought in more than $16,000, allowing Catalano to donate his work.“Financially, it doesn’t make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see emotions from my customers, I am 100 percent sure this is something that I can’t stop doing.”4. How did people in the studio react to Bertram’s idea at first?A. They took it lightly.B. They found it creative.C. They were confused.D. They were impressed.5. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Exposed.B. Hid.C. Ignored.D. Removed.6. What does Catalano say about his work with paramedical tattoos?A. It is flexible.B. It is demanding.C. It is profitable.D. It is rewarding.7. Which of the following can best describe Catalano?A. Humorous and experienced.B. Devoted and generous.C. Cooperative and grateful.D. Professional and tolerant.CIn the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us, binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creatorstailortheir shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A study published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging, occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can create a sense of community for many.For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A study followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levelsdecreased during their binging experience.With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.8.

HowDoes Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?DZaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Faridalways refused to let him.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki openedhis eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’s shoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to makea man.12.

(D)Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating and embarrassing. Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can help yourself overcome this human tendency.Before examining the methods to help yourself remember people's names, let's look at the reasons why we are so forgetful in the first place. Experts put a lot of the blame on a lack of motivation and interest. Simply put, remembering names is just not high on the list of priorities for most people. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is more complicated than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don't make the effort to commit new names to memory immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgettinga person's name. One good method is to say a person's name when you greet them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few times. This type of repetition is vital to learning practically any type of skill. Using a memory device, such as associating individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someone's name is Ben and he is tall, you can label him (to yourself, of course) "Big Ben." Additionally, focusing on people and listening more closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. While forgetting names isn't a matter of life or death, it is uncomfortable. Putting these tips into practice will help you better avoid this social discomfort.Questions:11. Why do we forget names according to the experts? (A)12. What tip is given to help avoid forgetting names? (B)13. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? (D)Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.On11 February 2020, visitors to the 2039 Pizza Restaurant in Peckham, London, were able to try a pizza from the year 2039.The pizza hadn't actually travelled back in time, but was made by people looking ahead to the future.An organization of Young Scientists called The Big Bang UK Fair challenged a futurist called Jackson, to design the pizza of the future, in order to show how science can help us make food more sustainably.Despite looking like a normal pizza, it was made with some unusual ingredients. Theingredients actually include tomatoes grown in an indoor lab with no soil, flour made from ground-up insects, and cheese made from tree nuts.Tomatoes grown indoors use less water than outdoor tomatoes and making cheese from nut milk instead of cow's milk means we could rely less on dairy cows. Dairy cows are bad for the environment because of the poisonous gases they release. Making flour out of smashed insects might sound horrible, but they are rich in proteins and take far fewer resources to farm than wheat, which we use to make flour bases.Looking ahead to 2069, Jackson predicts, "Your future pizza might be made from ingredients that have never seen the Sun, or eaten grass in a field. And it might be 3D-printed by a robot chef. This is truly just a taste of what the future holds."Questions:14. What were visitors able to do in the 2039 Pizza Restaurant? (B)15. Why did the young UK scientists ask Jackson to design the pizza of the future?(B)16. What can we learn about the pizza of the future? (C)Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Linda, I’m so tense!

W: This is my 17th marathon, so I'm practic ally an expert at this point. I’m confident you will do well. I've run with you many times and I know you have the speed and staying power needed. M: I just feel nervous since I have never run a marathon before. I hope I can keep up with all of you professionals.W: Don't worry. There are a lot of first timers here. Just be careful when you start to feel like you’re hitting a wall.M: I think I can power through that, especially with the spectators cheering along the way. Actually, I’m more worried about needing to go to the bathroom during the race.W: There will be plenty of rest stops for that.M: What if I am starving halfway through?W: I have some extra energy bars in my bag. Also, there will be bananas and other snacks at the rest stops.M: Great. Those will help me keep going.W: My best advice is that you don’t stop no matter what.
