Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

Finding the best lighting for study is important for everyone. For the sake of maximizing the use of time and energy, and for the very important goal of preserving eyesight, anyone reading for understanding needs not only adequate light, but light that ensures reading with ease. Only when eye strain （疲劳）is not interfering does the learning process move forward.Desk lampsYou can purchase a large number of stylish desk lamps from lamp stores and online. The products range from precious ones to casual ones, from traditional ones to ultra-modern （超现代的）ones. They feature such desirable additions as dimmer switches and night lights. Some have battery backup in case of power failure and a choice of OttLite bulbs that duplicate natural sunlight.LED desk lampsMetaEfficient reviews the most recommended LED desk lamps. These lamps come in many different styles and brand names and are valued for their directed beam of light, lack of heat and exceptional energy efficiency and brilliance. LED study lamps are made in goose neck and swivel （转圈）styles, as well as the more modern Z-bar and the human-like figure of the Moppel light.Safest desk lampsAccording to Knol, StudyLite is the safest of all desk lamp designs. Not only does it provide LED light, freeing people from UV and IR radiation, but it has been tested to be eye-friendly.

"The coronavirus is showing us that clean air is necessary," said DUH's chair, Jürgen Resch. "It is now especially important to temporarily make it more important for people to move safely on their bikes. This will help improve air quality, enable exercise in fresh air while keeping a safe distance and avoid unnecessary accidents."In Germany, bike repair shops are allowed to work because of the Covid-19 going on. Three federal states, Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, have allowed bike shops to stay open.（1）Why did German cities decide to widen temporary cycle paths？A．To avoid traffic jams.B．To go to work conveniently.C．To reduce air pollution.D．To keep proper distance between cyclists.（2）How did the road workers sign the widened paths？A．By using removable tape and signs.B．By painting oil lines.C．By hanging special boards.D．By pulling up attractive ropes.（3）What does the underlined word "pop-up" in paragraph 5 probably mean？A．Substituted.B．Limited.C．Expanded.D．Separated.（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．Special measures is taken to raise the production of bicycles.B．All transportation means except bicycling are forbidden.C．The use of bicycles can stop the Covid-19 from going on.D．Bicycle riding is encouraged to lower the risk of gathering.13．（10分）A planet the size of Jupiter has been discovered and it is one of the hottest ones known to us. This has made scientists think about how planets are formed.Planets such as Earth have more oxygen than carbon, but what if the composition（组成）is just the opposite？This is a question opened up by a recent discovery of a diamond planet by US and UK scientists. The planet is 1200 light years away from Earth and was observed using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Dr Marek Kukula explained that researchers initially used the Super WASP （Wide Angle Search for Planets）robotic observatories operating continuously, all year around. They detected the planet, then it was observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which detected the heat coming from the planet, and from that heat signature they can tell what this planet is made from.The planet is very different to Earth. "It's a giant planet," explains Dr Kukula, "a gas planet, a bit like Jupiter in our solar system. But the interesting thing that they've discovered is that it has a very different composition to the planets in our solar system. This planet has more carbon than oxygen." This suggests that there is more than one way to make a solar system and the range of planets in the universe could be much wider than previously thought.Dr Kukula says that if there are smaller planets in the same solar system with a similar composition, rich in carbon, their rocks could be rich in minerals such as carbon and diamonds,unlike Earth which has silica（硅石），the sand that rocks on Earth are made from. "This is where this diamond planet idea comes from；they haven't actually detected a diamond planet yet," explains Dr Kukula. It's hypothetical（假设的），"but you can imagine strange landscapes with black graphite rocks lying around and the surface could be covered with sticky liquids instead of water"．（1）What planet has been discovered recently？A．A planet with more oxygen.B．A planet with more carbon.C．A planet hotter than others.D．A planet bigger than Jupiter.（2）How do scientists decide a planet's composition？A．By its heat.B．By its size.C．By telescope.D．By distance.（3）What can we learn about the new planet from paragraph 3？A．It is in our solar system.B．It looks like Earth.C．It is completely different from Jupiter.D．It contains a lot of gas.（4）Why do scientists call the planet "a diamond planet"？A．It is rich in carbon.B．It is rich in silica.C．It is rich in water.D．It is rich in sticky liquids.14．（10分）Foldable phones are once again facing questions about their durability（耐久性）．The Galaxy Z Flip and the Motorola Razr are now both available to buy in the US - but early reports suggest the screens are easily damaged.One media published photos of two layers of the Razr's display separating, affecting the touch screen.The Galaxy Z flip, meanwhile, boasts （自夸）a "flexible glass" display - but tests appear to show it scratching （刮擦）as easily as plastic.In a statement, Samsung said the display had a protective layer, and had undergone extensive testing. "While the display does bend, it should be handled with care," it said.The Z Flip's "pretty thin glass" is one of Samsung's primary marketing messages for the new phone. But a durability test conducted by popular Zack Nelson, a regular buyer, suggested it was no more durable than a soft plastic screen - and could even be dented （划痕）by a fingernail.Nelson said Samsung's screen scratched exactly how a plastic screen would react. "I don't know what material this is, but Samsung definitelyshouldn't be calling it glass," he said. He found that the screen of the Motorola Razr scratched as easily but it is not marketed as "glass"．The Motorola Razr was put on sale 13 days ago in the US，but Raymond Wong, an editor says the flexible screen on his handset has already broken. The upper layer of the Razr's screen separated from the bottom, creating "a giant horizontal air bubble" for no apparent reason. He wrote that the fault appeared after a 45-minute train ride during which the phone was in his pocket. The screen was completely warped from hinge-to-hinge with the top layer raised like a poorly applied screen protector. But Mr. Wong said that apart from the visual problem, the damage has affected the responsiveness of the touchscreen.（1）What attitude do the buyers have to the quality of Galaxy Z Flip and Razr？A．Suspicious.B．Objective.C．Optimistic.D．Unconcerned.（2）What is the outstanding feature of the Z Flip by Samsung？A．Low price.B．Portable style.C．Extremely thin screen.D．Protective function.（3）Why does Nelson complain about Samsung？A．He is angry at its post-sale service.B．He is strict in its screen materials.C．He is disappointed at its unfair competition.D．He is unsatisfied with its inexact statement.（4）What is the best title of the text？A．Cheat always exists in businessB．Foldable phones may not be all that greatC．Different brands have their special featuresD．Disadvantages of two kinds of phones第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（12.5分）The outbreak has forced people to work from home and given many couples the chance to see each other at work. But, after all, living together and working together are not the same.（1）1．Put the problem on the tableKnowing what your partner does is one thing, but seeing them in action is another.

We don't knowwhy she gave the strange name. We soon learned it was just what this new dog would need.My parents' bad tempered dog would jump out of bed and go-go-go all day long. So when they brought home a Christmas tree, they expected everything would be out of order. However, to their astonishment, Mercy didn't seem to take any care. She paid zero attention to the tree which suddenly grew in her living room. Nor did she react to the fancy presents under it, including a wrapped box of Milk-Bones.Dad and Polly were quite careful；they'd never had a dog that didn't force them to move everything to higher ground as if they were expecting a flood. But Mercy seemed to take no notice. He didn't take any glance at it at all.A few days before Christmas, Polly awoke early in the morning as usual. She passed the dusty living room and then stopped in surprise. Glancing back into the room, she saw that every last present was gone. Only the tree was still there.Had they been robbed？Why hadn't Mercy barked？Where was she？Had the robbers taken her away？Polly noticed a scrap of ribbon （丝带）on the floor, then a bit of torn wrapping paper a few feet away, some lights beyond that. The clues all made a mark leading toward the back door.Polly put on the switch, bathing the backyard in light. The perpetrator's （肇事者）head lifted and froze. Alarm and guilt made her eyes wide. Oh, yes, it was Mercy.She lay under her favorite tree in a soft nest of shredde （碎片）wrapping paper, chewed-up boxes, and curling （缠绕）bits of ribbon. Presents, unpacked from their packages, were spread over everywhere. Beautifully wrapped boxes had gaping holes. Pieces of paper were mixed with the last remaining evidence of gifts. All the gift tags （标签）that could have been used as thank-you cards were destroyed.Clearly Mercy's self-control had failed._______As for Thank-you cards, Mercy provided the answer.__________。

Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress（22） does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stress, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain point, the more stress you are under, the（24）_______（good） your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, though, further stresswill only lead to exhaustion, illness and finally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） number of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is being expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all those questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your life. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stress is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Teachers place a lot of importance on the____32___ that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33____and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values ___39____ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: 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.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to （41）our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely（43） that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44）to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear that your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not （46）would probably stop your trying．And that would be a major （47） to invest your energy in your dream．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market．And in both cases, （50） plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something．One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable（51） we sometimes think．There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our （52） in, such as passion, feeling, and sense．Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the（53） opinion held by ordinary people about what will work．In the same way，we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guide us,（54）____ any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we （55） the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper．41．A．simplify B．challenge C．eliminate D．maintain 42．A．possessed B．trusted C．objected D．missed 43．A．reject B．preserve C．deny D．share 44．A．willing B．sorry C．reluctant D．ready 45．A．success B．knowledge C．profession D．investment 46．A．devoted B．talented C．concerned D．interested 47．A．obstacle B．excuse C．chance D．principle48．A．important B．fixed C．changeable D．stimulating 49．A．enhance B．reserve C．release D．follow 50．A．energy B．hobby C．expense D．belief 51．A．guide B．ability C．goal D．policy 52．A．aim B．faith C．task D．dream 53．A．unacceptable B．strange C．unbelievable D．common 54．A．questioning B．understanding C．interpreting D．believing 55．A．stick to B．lead to C．free up D．leave outSection B（11×2=22分）Directions: Read the following three passages.

They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If som eone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personalconnections.”63. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that________.A. human-like devices may help people interact with others.B. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.D. human-like devices may reduce people’s social interaction in real life.64. During the experiments, participants__________.A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices.B. were shown devices with human features.C. played online games with both machines and real people.D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.65. The underlined phrase “this effect”in Paragraph 7 refers to the fact that________.A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with other people.B. lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.D. people who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.66. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?A. It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.B. It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on realsocial interaction.C. It may help the well-being of people who feel lonely and improve their currentrelationships.D. It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improvetheir products.Section C （4×2=8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally havemore than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I.
