三、阅读理解(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分)

阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳答案。

A

I am studying abroad, in the Czech Republic. But on National Day, I still felt extremely excited. I drew the red sign of “70” in my notebook, posted it on social media and couldn’t help writing. “Happy 70th birthday to my country.”

Our school really offers us many opportunities to broaden our knowledge of the world. Being a Chinese, I was very happy to find out that our school not only has a centre of Asian studies, but also a study field called Chinese studies. I also know a Slovakian girl who has been studying Chinese for four years and dreams to become a translator. She started university in Shanghai this September and was so amazed by the fast development of Chinas economy. “The high-speed rail is amazing, and we got to Suzhou in half an hour!”

I have been studying in this foreign land for four years. One thing I continue to do is to show Czech people our amazing culture. I always feel this responsibility of protecting our country’s reputation(声誉) by having good manners, because I know very clearly that I do not only represent myself, but also the country which cheered me up.

I will work to improve myself as much as possible.

26.What did the writer post on her social media on National Day?

A.A red sign.

B.A world map.

C.A birthday cake.

D.A national flag.

27.Why does the writer mention the Slovakian girl in the second paragraph?

A. Because she is the writer's best friend.

B Because she has been studying in China.

C. Because she wants to be a translator in the future.

D. Because her words prove the development of China.

28. How does the writer protect our country's reputation?

A. By studying in foreign lands.

B. By studying Chinese.

C. By learning more about the world.

D. By having good manners.

B

Taking public transport, making payments online or just walking around --

these daily activities can help turn China’s deserts into forests if you are using Ant

Forest.

Ant Forest is a feature in the Ali pay mobile payment app. It records users’

low-carbon(低碳的) activities. For example, taking a bus to work instead of driving.

And it gives users “green energy”. When a user's green energy gets high enough,

Ant Forest and its partners will plant a real tree for that person.

Ant Forest recently received the 2019 Champions of the Earth Award, the UN’s highest environmental honor because it encourages people to live greener lifestyles and protect the environment.

Since it started in August 2016, Ant Forest and its partners have planted 122 million trees in China's driest areas, which include regions in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai and Shanxi, reported Xinhua News Agency. The trees cover an area of 112,000 hectares. The project has become China’s largest private tree-planting activity.

“Ali-pay Ant Forest shows how technology can transform our world by using the positive energy.” said Inger Andersen, executive director of UNEP.

This is only part of China's efforts to make Earth greener. In 1978. China began a national-level forestation project called “Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program”. It is also known as the “Great Green Wall”. The program has seen trees planted in 13 provinces of northern China to act as windbreaks, according to China Daily.

By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions of the project had reached 13.57%o compared to 5.05% 40 years ago.

Because China successfully reduces desertification(沙漠化), the UNEP believes it is a good example for others to follow.

“China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert and has lessons to share with the world,”

55 former UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim said.

29. What activity can’t help turn China’s deserts into forests according to the article?

A. Online reading.

B. Walking around.

C. Making payments online.

D. Taking public transport.

30. When will Ant forest and its partner plant a real tree for users?

A. When we add enough friends.

B. When we pay enough money.

C. When we have enough green energy.

D. When we water enough trees.

31. What does the underlined word regions in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. nations

B. areas

C. people

D. trees

32. Which of the following statements is not true?

A. Ant Forest received the UN’s highest environmental honor in 2019.

B. China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.

C. China began the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program in part of China.

D. By using the positive energy, Ant forest shows how technology transforms the world.

C

Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head down.

Ethan Miller, one of Sophie's teachers, discovered the reason: she had been bullied(欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive(辱骂的) messages on her phone and on Facebook. Miller shared Sophie's story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children's charity in the United Kingdom.

Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have been online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students reported skipping school because of it. The study surveyed more than 170,000 young people aged 13-24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Three-quarters of those surveyed said social media, like Facebook and Twitter, are the most common places for online bullying which includes threatening

and humiliating(羞辱性的) messages, comments and images.

“The new generation was born in a digital world of constant connection, but there are clear risks for young people as well as benefits, and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else, said Andrew Dunnett, the director of the V odafone Foundation, a UK charity.

Meanwhile, online bullying could have serious results for young people. For example, it makes young people more than twice as likely to self-harm, according to a 2018 study by the University of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people who suffered from online bullying were less likely to ask for help than those victims by more traditional ways.

To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support those affected, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.

“Improving young people's education experience means explaining the environment they experience online as well as offline,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF's Executive Director.

33.Who found the reason why Sophie changed her behavior?

A.Ethan Miller.

B.Andrew Dunnett.

C.Henrietta Fore.

D.Sophie herself.

34.Online bullying includes the following activities except ______.

A.delivering threatening images

B.giving sincere likes

C.publishing humiliating comments

D.sending humiliating messages

35.We can read the article from ______.

A.a story book B a science book

C.a medical magazine

D.a teenage magazine

36.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Twenty percent or young people, in 30 countries, are victims of online bullying.

B.We should explain the environment the young experience either online or offline.

C.UNICEF has made rules to help those online bullying victims solve the problem.

D.Victims by traditional ways are more likely to ask for help than online bullying victims.

D

When my mother told my father she was pregnant(怀孕的), the first thing he did was to buy gave me.

But when I think of other gifts my father has given me, the first would be a love of reading. He is not usually an observer(观察者)of life, but he can be very thoughtful. He is always right in the middle of our study. He and my mother gave me a love of words and books. He has been totally deaf in one ear since he was two years old, so we rarely listened to music. In my childhood, storybooks were king- not songs.

The second is respecting all. Even when my sister and I were little, the conversation around the dinner table was noisy but covered different subjects. Your age didn’t matter. If you voiced an opinion, you had to argue your case and give evidence. He treats everyone the same -- child or grown-up, CEO or cleaner.

The greatest gift to his daughters, however, was that he took interest in our brains and never our appearances. Most successful women I know had fathers who valued their intelligence. My father said that my mother was the most intelligent person he had ever met. He still says that.

They met at a dance in the early 50s, when she was a teacher. Wanting to show off, he told her she reminded him of Jane Austen’s Emma, then misquoted(错误地引用) the book. My mother corrected him and he was in love from that moment.

Over the years, my father taught me never to stand still and to never accept the way things are; I should fight for change. I continue to follow his lead.

37.Why did the writer's father buy a new TV when he knew the pregnancy?

A.Because he wanted to give his wife a present.

B.Because TVs were new technology at that time.

C. Because he rarely listened to music for his deaf.

D. Because he needed to find entertainment at home.

38. What’s the greatest gift to his daughters?

A. A new TV set.

B. A love of reading.

C. His interest in their wisdom.

D. The respect for all the people.

39. What do we know about the writer's childhood?

A. She lived a rich and easy life.

B. She was good at observing life.

C. She could present her own opinions.

D. She was often angry with her sisters.

40. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article

A. To teach readers how to respect others.

B. To encourage people to read more books.

C. To show what she learned from her father.

D. To stress the importance of observing life.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?

The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos (爱基斯摩人) live. There, it's dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don’ t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it's night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.

People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides(潮汐). In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and low tides every 24 hours.

Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

In some places in the world, the wind comes up at about the same time every day or

changes direction or stops blowing. In these places, the wind can be the clock.

A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like

the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the

hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the

hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

The ways we tell time (56) __________ watches or clocks

How do people use them?

Different (57)

__________ of the

B)根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置

Have you ever felt anxious(焦虑的) about a maths question? (66)N__________ everyone may have this feeling at some time. What may not seem so obvious is that many other people have felt the same way and that maths anxiety is (67)a__________ problem.

Even the Maths Anxiety Trust(数学焦虑症信托基金会) has been set up to (68)r__________ the awareness(意识). A survey for the trust found more than a third of 13 to 15-year-olds feel anxious when they are (69)s__________ a math problem. The same happens to one in five (70)a__________.

Celia Hoyles, professor of mathematics education at University College London says, “With maths, there’s a right or a wrong answer and that's why people can feel so anxious -- they are afraid of looking (71)f__________.”

One problem that needs to be dealt with is how maths is taught. “We need teachers to see (72)o__________ points of view. In this way, they can understand where pupils are finding aspects of the subject (73)d__________. As a result, pupils can be (74)e__________ to solve their problems.

In the past few years, many education technology products have been designed. But it isn't (75)e__________ to teach maths with pictures and games. Learning technology needs to be designed with deep understanding of how pupils learn and a healthy reality check around how teachers want to use it.
