Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneMusic is part of the structure of our society: it sits at the heart of human experience and enriches ( 丰富)so many lives. Why, then, is it not central to our education system? This is a question Irecently put forward to an all-party group on music education.1 am 20 years old and began playing the piano at the Barracudas Band in Barrow-in-Furness, aged seven. The. funding for the centre has now been cut. I took part in the primary tuition project, aged 11. The funding for that has also been cut now, Il is a mon problem across the country.Music is not an add-on, a "soft" subject or a luxury—it is absolutely essential to our existence. Every child deserves the opportunity to experience its benefits. Until music is held in the same regard as the "core" subjects of our curriculum, our society will be worse off. We need joy, empathy （共情）and hope on this planet more than ever, and taking away children * s opportunity to develop musical skills is to set ourselves up for a（“Every Child a Musician u Awards for Young Musicians,M to name but a few）, we are reaching a crisis point. We are in danger of destroying creativity, innovation （创新）and expression. Learning an instrument can help develop so many fundamental life skills. It promotes discipline, empathy, determination and cooperation as well as providing a sense of munity and worth.Music has changed my life. It is a huge part of who I am. I have learned so much about the world through music and the inspiring figures I have met through it, 1 feel I have a duly to help ensure that others can benefit from its magic. Let us make it available to every single child.36.Why did the author raise the question on music education?A.The funding for music education has been cut.B.The band the author joined in has broken up.C ・The project the author was in no longer exists,D. The tuition fee for music training has risen.37.What does the author think of the role of music?A.It is important for dealing with social crises.B.It may offer children future job opportunities.C.It is fundamental to the growth of a child.D.It can help children ]eam core subjects.38.What is the theme of the passage?A.Music education should be available to every child.B.Music training programs should be provided free.C.Music should be placed at the top of the curriculum.D.Music should be made popular across the country.39.What is the author1 s attitude towards music?A.Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.Passage TwoIn 2011, a dog owner named Robert uploaded a video titled "Guilty! to YouTube. He had e home finding his two dogs near an empty bag of cat treats. The first dogdown, which made Robert believe it was she who had done it. Seeing her u apparent admission of guih," he yelled at her, “You did this!” Denver beat her tail nervously. "You know the routine. In the kennel《狗窝）！"F ollowing the mand, the dog shut herself in. The video quickly gathered a flood of ments. Since then, “dog shaming n has bee popular on the internet, as owners around the world posted beside notes shots of their trembling pets inwhich the dogs seemed to admit bad behavior. For instance, “I ate an extra large pizza," admits a chocolate Lab.Human enthusiasm for guilty dogs seemed growing.But according to a researcher at Barnard College, what we consider to be a dog's guilty look is no sign of guilt at all. In a 2009 study, the researcher had owners forbid their dogs from eating an attractive treat, and then asked the owners to leave the room. While each owner was gone, the researcher either removed the treat or fed it to the dog. When the owners returned, they were told 一regardless of the truth—that their dogs either had or had not eaten it. If owners thought their dogs had done something wrong, blames followed, and guilty looks quickly emerged. Yet dogs who liadn ' t ealen the treat were more likely to appear guilty than dogs who had—so long as their owners scolded them. Far from signaling regret, one group of researchers wrote in a 2012 paper, the guilty look of dogs is very likely a means to show obedience （顺从）to their owners.40.What did Robert want to show with his video on YouTube?A.Dogs' conflict with other pets.B. Dogs' naughty behaviors.C. Dogs' trust in their owners. D, Dogs' apparent guilty looks.41.How did people react to Robert s video?A, They slarted to share dog-shamingphotos. B. They began to blame their own dugs,C. They began to read fitories aboutdogs.D. They started to show sympathy for his dog 、42.What does "a chocolate Lab" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A scientist. B, A d og.C. A researcher, D, A cat.43.Why do dogs wear a guilty look according to the researchers?A.To attract their owners1 attention.B. To deceivetheir owners.C. To beg their owners for treats.D. To show obedience to their owners.In the race to the moon, who came in first?You might say the answer is Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, the crew of Apollo 11. Or you could represent for the crew of Apollo 10, which reached the moon in May 1969 and then headed back lo Earth without landing.But there is a much stranger answer to this question, depending on how much you care about humans and what your definition （定义）of reaching the moon might be, Before any people arrived at the moon, other animals had got there first. And unlike the dogs and monkeys that were made famous in early space shots ant）Earth orbits, the first creatures to reacdi the muon were a pair of tortoises, Discovery' & Amy Shira Teitel reminded DS.The Soviet spacecraft （航天器）sent the animals around the moon 一although not into its orbit 一during a mission in the middle of September. 1968. The unmanned（无人驾驶的）craft then returned to Earth and dashed into the Indian Ocean, after which the Russians recovered the craft.A month later, Soviet scientist revealed that the spacecraft had been a tiny ship, carrying the tortoiseswine flies, meal worms, plants, seeds, bacteria, and other living matter.The tortoises, as history records, lost about 10 percent of their body weight, but had a healthy appetite when they returned io Earth. In the following checkups paring the animals to "stay-at-home turtles used as a test control,M most things seemed normal, aside from some vaguely explained minor problems with the liver.What this all means is that, as Teitel explained, "The first living beings to see an Earthrise from the Moon were Russian tortoises. However, as far as 1 can tell, the animals were not named. “44. According to the passage. Whi ch othefollowing reached the moon first?A pair of tortoises. B, American astronauts45, What happened to the Soviet spacecraft?A. It was wrecked during the mission.B. It was recoveied afler ils r-lurn to Kadh.C, It staved in the moon ‘s orbit D. It disappraird in the outer space.46, what was the biggest change in the tortoises in Paragraph 6?A. Thev showed abnornia] behaviors.B. They had serious liver pmbleiris,B They losl thrir appelile lor food, [). They had olnionsly losT weight.47. Whal do Feilel * s words in ihr Iasi paragrapli imply?A.Thetortoises were fond of seeing F'arthrise.B.Thetortoises were not given due credit for their experience.C .The ltortoises werenot named after the Soviet spacecraft.D .Tlie tortoises were famous all over ih? world.Passage FourVegans try lo live, as much as possible, in a way that avoids exploiling and being cruel to aiiiinals. This means following a plant-based diet. Vegans do not eal animals o r animal-based produvls like meat. fish t seafood, eggs. honey and dairy prorlut^ts MIC I I as cheese. For many vegans T living a inilted vegan lifestyle means not wearing clolhps made from animnal skins and avoiding any priduds which have been tested on a nimals.Vegans argue that suffering is c aused in lhe production of these foods, For example , thev say that on some dairy farms, male calves ( 小牛)are killed because they are too expensive to keep, and cows ws are killed when they get older and produce less milk. As for honey , vegans say that bees make honey for bee, not lor humans, and i thal bees'produels they use and consumeshould be free from jusl cruelty but any exploitation of animals.Tlie main reason for going vegan is probably I hat they beliese animals and all other sentient (有感知能力的)beings should have the right to life and freedorn. However, there are othe r reasons. Vegans argue that the prodouctinon of meal and other animal prodoucs is very bad for thr enviroment . The y point out thal ahuge quanlily of water is needed to grow grain to feed animals in the meat indusliy. The enormous amount of grain which the meat industry needs leads to Io rests being cut down and habtats ( 栖息地)being lost. In contrast,much lower quatniiies ol grain arid water are needed to sustain a vegan diet. In addition , many vegans say thal all the nutritious elements our bodies need are contained in a c arefully planned vegan diet and tha this type of diet helps prevent some diseases.48. Wh a I is a vegan in this passage?A. A person who likes to growvegetables.B. A person whois fond ofeatingmeat.C.A person who keeps aplant-based diet.D.A personwho stay s away fromanimals.49. Which of the following could be found in a vegan , s d iet?A. Eggs.B.Honey.k.D.Potaloes.50. What Belief do vegans hold?A. Animals ran help improve the environment.B. Aniinals have the right to live and freedom.C Animal products leads to the rise cf grain output.D.Animal proilucls are far more nutritious51.What does the author want to imply in this passage?A.Going vegan consumes more water and grain.B.Going vegan enables people to live a healthier life.C.Going vegan helps to develop meat industry,D.Going vegan has been a lifestyle for the majorities.There are many interesting news items in BP's （英国石油公司）annual Energy Outlook just published, But perhaps the most astonishing suggestion in the report is the idea that cutting back on plastic use could make matters worse. This might be what you would expect BP to say. After all, as one of the world * s biggest oil panies, it makes a lot of money from selling products in plastic. But let's look at the thinking behind BP's argument.If the current opposing idea about the use of plastic continues, there could be a worldwide ban on single-use plastics by 2040. But the document argues that switching plastic for other materials will have a bigger cost in terms of energy and carbon emissions （排放）. That sounds like the law of unintended （非故意的）consequences in action. When plastic bags are measured against paper or cotton substitutes, a BBC analysis found there wasn * t a great deal of difference in their environmental impact. Paper bags require fewer reuses to make them more environmentally friendly than single-use plastic bags, which means customers have to replace paper bags more f requently«Environmentalists, though, are not entirely convinced. They think that BP is stressing the problem of banning plastic for its own inter est, “While it' s true that it takes less energy to produce and transport plastic than glass, a glass bottle can be reused dozens of times and is recyclable. Phis, materials like glass when they escape collection don' t go on polluting our oceans and rivers for hundreds of years," said Louise Edge, from Greenpeace UK.Steps to encourage recycling are. being taken. The UK, for example t will introduce a new tax on the manufacture and import of plastic packaging in 2022. There are also lots of developments taking place with alternative materials. These may be the final defense against the unintended consequences of plastic bans.52.What is astonishing about BP's annual report?A.BP has earned a lot of money by selling plastic products.B.Cutting back on plastic use may bring more problems.C.BP has bee one of the world's biggest oil panies.D.Cutting back on plastic use may affect product quality,53.Which of the following could be banned worldwide by 2040?A.Second-hand cotton begs.B. Reusable paper bags.54.According to environmentalists, what causes BP to oppose banning plastics?A.Its consideration of its own interest*B. Its worry about the loss of consumers,C. Its desire to influence world economy.D. Its concern about the environment.55 .What measure is being taken by the UK to cut back on the use of plastics?A. Forbidding the import of plastic bagss, E. Banning the manufacture of plastic bags.C. Taxing on the use of plastic bags. D, Developing alternative materials toplastic.

attractive treat,and then asked the owners to leave the room.While each owner was gone,the researcher either removed the treat or fed it to the dog.When the owners returned,they were told —regardless of the truth—that their dogs either had or had not eaten it.If owners thought their dogs had done something wrong,blames followed,and guilty looks quickly emerged.Yet dogs who hadn’t eaten the treat were more likely to appear guilty than dogs who had—so long as their owners scolded them.Far from signaling regret,one group of researchers wrote in a2012paper, the guilty look of dogs is very likely a means to show obedience（顺从）to their owners.40、What did Robert want to show with his video on YouTube?A.Dogs’conflict with other pets.B.Dogs’naughty behaviors.C.Dogs’trust in their owners.D.Dogs’apparent guilty looks.41、How did people react to Robert’s video?A.They started to share dog-shaming photos.B.They began to blame their own dogs.C.They began to read stories about dogs.D.They started to show sympathy for his dog.42、What does“a chocolate Lab”in Paragraph2refer to?A.A scientist.B.A dog.C.A researcher.D.A cat.43、Why do dogs wear a guilty look according to the researchers?A.To attract their owners attention.B.To deceive their owners.C.To beg their owners for treats.D.To show obedience to their owners.Passage ThreeIn the race to the moon,who came in first?You might say the answer is Neil Armstrong,Buzz Aldrin,and Michael Collins,the crew of Apollo11.Or you could represent for the crew of Apollo10,which reached the moon in May 1969and then headed back to Earth without landing.But there is a much stranger answer to this question,depending on how much you care about humans and what your definition（定义）of reaching the moon might be.Before any people arrived at the moon,other animals had got there first.And unlike the dogs and monkeys that were made famous in early space shots and Earth orbits,the first creatures to reach the moon were a pair of tortoises,Discovery’s Amy Shira Teitel reminded us.The Soviet spacecraft（航天器）sent the animals around the moon—although not into its orbit—during a mission in the middle of September,1968.The unmanned（无人驾驶的）craft then returned to Earth and dashed into the Indian Ocean,after which the Russians recovered the craft.A month later,Soviet scientists revealed that the spacecraft had been a tiny ship,carrying the tortoises,wine flies,meal worms,plants,seeds,bacteria,and other living matter.The tortoises,as history records,lost about10percent of their body weight,but had a healthy appetite when they returned to Earth.In the following checkups comparing the animals to “stay-at-home turtles used as a test control,”most things seemed normal,aside from some vaguely explained minor problems with the liver.What this all means is that,as Teitel explained,“The first living beings to see an Earthrise from the Moon were Russian tortoises.However,as far as I can tell,the animals were not named.”44、According to the passage,which of the following reached the moon first?A.A pair of tortoises.２０２０年成人高考专升本《英语》真题及解析B.American astronauts.C.Russian astronauts.D.Dogs and monkeys.45、What happened to the Soviet spacecraft?A.It was wrecked during the mission.B.It was recovered after its return to Earth.C.It stayed in the moon’s orbit.D.It disappeared in the outer space.46、What was the biggest change in the tortoises in Paragraph6?A.They showed abnormal behaviors.B.They had serious liver problems.C.They lost their appetite for food.D.They had obviously lost weight.47、What do Teitel’s words in the last paragraph imply?A.The tortoises were fond of seeing Earthrise.B.The tortoises were not given due credit for their experience.C.The tortoises were not named after the Soviet spacecraft.D.The tortoises were famous all over the world.Passage FourVegans try to live,as much as possible,in a way that avoids exploiting and being cruel to animals.“his means following a plant-based diet.Vegans do not eat animals or animal-based products like meat,fish,seafood,eggs,honey and dairy products such as cheese.For many vegans,living a committed vegan lifestyle means not wearing clothes made from animal skins and avoiding any products which have been tested on animals.Vegans argue that suffering is caused in the production of these foods.For example,they say that, on some dairy farms,male calves（小牛）are killed because they are too expensive to keep,and cows are killed when they get older and produce less milk.As for honey,vegans say that bees make honey for bee,not for humans,and that bees’health can suffer when humans take the honey from them.Vegans believe that the products they use and consume should be free from not just cruelty but any exploitation of animals.The main reason for going vegan is probably that they believe animals and all other sentient（有感知能力的）beings should have the right to life and freedom.However,there are other reasons. Vegans argue that the production of meat and other animal products is very bad for the environment.They point out that a huge quantity of water is needed to grow grain to feed animals in the meat industry.The enormous amount of grain which the meat industry needs often leads to forests being cut down and habitats（栖息地）being lost.In contrast,much lower quantities of grain and water are needed to sustain a vegan diet.In addition,many vegans say that all the nutritious elements our bodies need are contained in a carefully planned vegan diet and that thistype of diet helps prevent some diseases.48、What is a vegan in this passage?A.A person who likes to grow vegetables.B.A person who is fond of eating meat.C.A person who keeps a plant-based diet.D.A person who stays away from animals.49、Which of the following could be found in a vegan’s diet?A.Eggs.B.Honey.k.D.Potatoes.50、What belief do vegans hold?A.Animals can help improve the environment.B.Animals have the right to life and freedom.C.Animal products lead to the rise of grain output.D.Animal products are far more nutritious.51、What does the author want to imply in this passage?A.Going vegan consumes more water and grain.B.Going vegan enables people to live a healthier life.C.Going vegan helps to develop meat industry.D.Going vegan has been a lifestyle for the majorities.Passage FiveThere are many interesting news items in BP’s（英国石油公司）annual Energy Outlook just published.But perhaps the most astonishing suggestion in the report is the idea that cutting back on plastic use could make matters worse.This might be what you would expect BP to say.After all, as one of the world’s biggest oil companies,it makes a lot of money from selling products in plastic.But let’s look at the thinking behind BP’s argument.If the current opposing idea about the use of plastic continues,there could be a worldwide ban on single-use plastics by2040.But the document argues that switching plastic for other materials will have a bigger cost in terms of energy and carbon emissions（排放）.That sounds like the law of unintended（非故意的）consequences in action.When plastic bags are measured against paper or cotton substitutes,a BBC analysis found there wasn’t a great deal of difference in their environmental impact.Paper bags require fewer reuses to make them more environmentally friendly than single-use plastic bags,which means customers have to replace paper bags more frequently.Environmentalists,though,are not entirely convinced.They think that BP is stressing the problem of banning plastic for its own interest.“While it’s true that it takes less energy to produce and２０２０年成人高考专升本《英语》真题及解析transport plastic than glass,a glass bottle can be reused dozens of times and is recyclable.Plus, materials like glass when they escape collection don’t go on polluting our oceans and rivers for hundreds of years,"said Louise Edge,from Greenpeace UK.Steps to encourage recycling are being taken.The UK,for example,will introduce a new tax on the manufacture and import of plastic packaging in2022.There are also lots of developments taking place with alternative materials.These may be the final defense against the unintended consequences of plastic bans.52、What is astonishing about BP’s annual report?A.BP has earned a lot of money by selling plastic products.B.Cutting back on plastic use may bring more problems.C.BP has become one of the world’s biggest oil companies.D.Cutting back on plastic use may affect product quality.53、Which of the following could be banned worldwide by2040?A.Second-hand cotton begs.B.Reusable paper bags.C.Single-use plastic bags.D.Recyclable glass bottles.54、According to environmentalists，what causes BP to oppose banning plastics?A.Its consideration of its own interest.B.Its worry about the loss of consumers.C.Its desire to influence world economy.D.Its concern about the environment.55、What measure is being taken by the UK to cut back on the use of plastics?A.Forbidding the import of plastic bags.B.Banning the manufacture of plastic bags.C.Taxing on the use of plastic bags.D.Developing alternative materials to plastic.五、补全对话V、Daily Conversation（15points）Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.How about your presentation?B.He needs it for tomorrow’s presentation.C.I think so.D.Where are you heading?E.You are welcome.F.No problem!G.What can I do for you?H.No,thanks!Alice:Hi,Sam!It’s nice to see you here.Sam:Hi,Alice!Alice:___56___Sam:To my dorm.Alice:Great!Could you take this book to Peter?Sam:___57___Does Peter know what it is for?Alice:Yes.___58___Sam:___59___Are you well prepared for it?Alice:___60___See you tomorrow!Sam:See you!六、写作第II卷（非选择题，共25分）VI、Writing（25points）Directions：For this part,you are supposed to write an e-mail in about100-120words based on the following situation.Remember to write it clearly.61、你（Li Yuan）收到美国朋友Thomas的e-mail，他提及要来中国留学的想法。

1 英语高考模拟卷 1、 Asia is such a vast and diverse continent for anyone dreaming of an escape. Here are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months. Xi’an,China Xi’an, China is supreme and then there’s the biggie (重要的事物)-the Army of Terracotta Warriors, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. Xi’an is vast, but a relaxed way of living and recent openings have boosted an already superb accommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in here. There’s never been a better time to visit. South of Tokyo, Japan Two cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting. Yokohama is just a 20-mixinte train journey from the capital and packs considerable appeal with its bayside location, architecture, beer and tasty cuisine. Less than an hour from Tokyo, fantastic seaside town Kamakura »s known for its surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and restaurants. Sri Lanka’s Hill Country Sri Lanka may be “so hot right now”, but Lonely Planet recommends a different experience. Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to Sri Lanka’s Hill Country for a wonderfully temperate escape from the nation’s humid coasts. This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃. Raja Ampat,Indonesia “Raja” means “king” and this grand title is apparent. Packed with white-sand beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom-shaped small islands. Raja Ampat is a biological hotspot. Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet—over 200 diving spots are still in a state of nature—and this, paired with a growing ecotourism (生态旅游) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the islands. 1.What can visitors do in Xi’an? A.Shop in a fantastic seaside town. B.Appreciate diverse heritage. C.Enjoy mushroom-shaped small islands. D.Experience planting crops by themselves. 2.Where is a surfer most likely to go? A.Yokohama. B.Raja Ampat. C.Kamakura. D. Sri Lanka’s Hill Country. 3.Where is this text probably taken from? A.A fiction book. B.A private letter. C.A science report. D.A travel guidebook. 2

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of "bits and bytes", or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.represented a great improvement over barterpermitted easy transportation of wealthwere made of precious metalscould become collector's items65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions (交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage TwoAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those whoentered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room-a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsThe color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itThe University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people's behaviorBeautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms67. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD. the more excited people68. What is referred to as the "general appearance" in this passage is ________.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come inthe size of a roomwhether there are beautiful walls in a roomwhat the room looks like69. This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lessonC. an interesting testD. a piece of news70. At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knowsPassage ThreeThe water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps weshould take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we'd have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?A. to have the used water filteredB. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the usersD. to pipe the used water to be purified to a factory73. There wouldn't be enough water for us if we didn't _________.A. turn to the oceans for more waterB. reuse used water and make use of seawaterC. desalt seawaterD. take steps to reuse all water on earth74. The would "it" in the last sentence refers to _______.A. seawaterB. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans75. The best title for the passage is "_______".A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage FourSome people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is abuilding, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past77. The writer of the passage thinks that ________.it is true to say artists fail in their workit is untrue to say artists fail in their workit is true to say some artists fail in their workit is true to say only painters fail in their work78. The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns othersC. concerns only the artistD. concerns all the people in the world79. The writer thinks that _________.we can't judge buildings by the ancient standardswe can't judge all the buildings by the ancient standardswe can't judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards we can't judge modern buildings80. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____.the ancient architects had no technologythe modern architects use more advanced technologythe modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildingsthe modern buildings are more beautifulⅤ.

AThese are the Nicest Places in America, from tiny Hayesville, North Carolina to the city of Providence, Rhode Island. You really can find kindness all over the U. S.Yassin ' s Falafel House in Knoxville. TennesseeYassin Terou, who came to Knoxville in 2011, is a well-known local person. His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every culture who are in trouble. Even though some people don't accept him for who he is, Yassin likes to give everyone a chance because he was given a chance to realize his American dream. Katy, TexasIn 2017, Katy, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. About 700 homes and 80 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the small town. Soon after it, local people and businesses immediately helped their neighbors recover.Kalamazoo, MichiganStudent loan debt （学生借贷） is an ever-present case for students looking to go on their education, but in Kalamazoo, it's not a problem. An organization funded by anonymous （匿名的） people called The Kalamazoo Promise pays for any student that attends Kalamazoo public schools to go to college. This town ' s amazing promise is keeping hope alive. Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, MarylandEnoch Pratt isn't your typical library, it's more of a community service center. In a city with high crime, it offers help to people that get in trouble with the law. Volunteers, including local lawyers doing work without getting paid, serve hundreds of people every week.

So I agreed to join a local group of walkers around Aix-en-Provence called the International Hiking Club of Provence.Exercising in the gym was a dull choice in this beautiful place, and when the wind started to blow and the water temperature dropped suddenly, the romantic idea of an everyday sea swim would disappear in my mind. Luckily, that didn't happen very often.From time to time, the group organized imaginative hikes in the countryside around Aix---Mont St Victoire, The Luberon, The Calanques, The Durance valley and other places. The journey would be tough and tiring, and you need a good pair of walking shoes. At the same time, you also need an appetite （胃口） for amazing beauties and hearty conversations with local people and foreigners.My first walk led me down the side of a cliff （悬崖） to the Calanque of Sugiton. Those sea cliffs are the highest in France. It was a great challenge for legs and afterwards, I would enjoy a treat---a refreshing sea swim. Magic! Just our little group and a few locals shared the experience together.In another hike in Provence, the good smell of wild flowers led me up a local mountain in the Luberon.Lost in those beautiful flowers and the relaxing smell, I didn't even notice my tiredness. What a simple pleasure and treat for the senses!In Provence, there are hundreds of ways to explore through woods, valleys, and quiet meadows （草地）. Mont Ventoux---the largest mountain in the region is the next goal on my list. A friend goes there regularly by bike and loves it.My hiking experiences inspired the kids to try. They walked up Mont St Victoire and down a Calanque. They complained sometimes, but they also laughed a lot. And they couldn't wait to tell their friends about the experience.24.

A Trip to Provence with KidsCI ' ve been trying to write a journal about my visit to LEGO Movie World with my family. Now it is! It's 2019 and wevisited Legoland during our spring break. Since we only had five hours, we decided hitting our favorite places would be thefirst step of the tour.We really enjoyed our time in LEGO Movie World. If you haven't been there, I recommend it to you. There are somefantastic rides that you shouldn't miss.Ride 1: Unikitty's Disco Drop. Immediately to the left of the LEGO Movie World entrance, you can find Unikitty's DiscoDrop. Similar to the Beetle Bounce, this ride adds another touch of fun. As you move up and down the tower, the ride alsorotates （旋转）! The area is enjoyable as well, with all the crazy Unikitty color mixtures present.Ride 2: Masters of Flight. To the right of Unikitty's Disco Drop, there is a huge structure （建筑物）. Ifyou've seen The LEGO Movie , you'll recognize this structure as The Dog Cloud Cuckoo Land, where all the Master Buildersmeet.To get inside, you 'Il have to make your way around a maze （迷宫） to wait for your turn but LEGO does a great job tooffer you amusement a while you wait. You'll be greeted by some great structures and provided with a wall to leave yourmark on.Once finally inside the structure, you'll find the Masters of Flight ride. It begins as the seats rotate around and you will findyourself as part of the Emmet's Triple---Decker Couch Mech! While you experience THELEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part, get ready to feel like you're flying! You'll smell pine trees, the ocean, cotton candy andmore! It was certainly my favorite of all the new rides.At the end of the day, I felt Merlin Entertainment did an excellent job in repurposing this area to fit their idea of the LEGOMovie World. It looks fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back to this world.28.

So the nonfat foods were adieter's dream! Fat-free chips and dairy products flew off the shelves. However, as it turned out, not many people becameslim and healthy from going on fat-free diets. In fact, not eating fat seemed to cause more health problems instead.There are many naturally fat- free foods. Fruits and vegetables are on the top of the list. They' relow in calories （ 卡路里 ） and are filled with beneficial vitamins （ 有益的维生素 ）. That ' s not the case with processed fat-free food.The problem with fat-free packaged food is that fat makes food taste good. With all the fat taken away, it tastes like cardboard. So, the producers have to add into all kinds of things to keep the taste ---like sugar, salt and artificial flavors （ 人造香精 ） Therefore, processed fat-free foods can actually end up containing more calories than the full- fat foods. Fruit canbe high in calories and sugar, too, but you nutrients （营养物 ） along with it. Processed fat- free foods don 't have a olotht eorf things.We know now that all fat is not evil. Fat helps control your nervous system and encourages bone health. Fat-free salad can actually make you lose your ability to process all the good nutrients in it.When you buy a fat-free product in the store, take a second to check the nutrient information on the package. If it contains sugar, salt or artificial favors --- or has more calories than the full-fat version---put it back on the shelf. Most of the time, you ' d be better -ef a tt ivnegr sthioen f,u wllhich tastes better and will satisfy you sooner---as long as you don't eat the whole box! 32.

(20分)I saw a car accident last month. It was a dark night and I was walking on the sidewalk when I suddenly heard a sharp, loud noise. I turned my head and found a woman lying on the ground, crying. A few steps away from her, there was a car with its hazard warning lamps on. There were a few people around her and the driver was making a phone call to the traffic police. I heard that the woman was crossing the street when the red light was on. She did so because she thought that there were no cars, so she risked it. I feel sorry for her because this accident could have been avoided if she didn't ignore the red light. It is advisable to be cautious when we cross the street, and we must observe the traffic rules.。
