One. expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue education, not comfort.Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China, 2,000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is more than enough. According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform, the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019；for Chengdu, it was 1,900 yuan.Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2,000 yuan monthly allowance, the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money.

The experiment was done by a 3D printer, developed and built by its Beijing Spacecrafts Manufacturing Factory, inside the prototype of China's new — generation manned spacecraft.The printer, named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D Printing System, uses carbon fiber-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects. It is installed in the reentry module of the experimental spaceship, and will be brought back to Earth once the module returns.The printer features advanced technologies in material modeling, precision control and automation. Once the space-based 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready, it can extensively benefit space programs as astronauts can use it to manufacture a lot of things they currently need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft.Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said the 3D Printer will be very useful in extended space missions, such as those in a space station, because it will allow astronauts to make components quickly and conveniently in space. The technology will save future space journeys considerable resources and costs.In fact, the device is not the only representative of 3D printing onboard the PrototypeA CubeSat deployer, designed and made through 3D printing by CoSats Space Technology, is also carried by the spacecraft to check the adaptability of 3D-printed equipment in space. CoSats Chief Operating Officer Bai Ruixue said the 3D-Printed deployer is much lighter and stronger than its counterparts and it will have huge Potential in the space industry.8.

The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable （可持续的） sources by 2030 and is ploughing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental scheme but acknowledged that lost pieces could cause a significant problem. He said the rental scheme was "possible" but admitted there were some "technical barriers", one of which is the complexity of some Lego kits （配套元件），many of which contain thousands of pieces." What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?” Mr Brooks added. "There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done.We are right at beginning of that.” Mr Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of re sources. He said many would "probably never see the light of day” and there was no curr ent plan to try a rental scheme.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint amid growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It manufactures 19 billion pieces per year—36,000 a minute——that are made only of plastic while much of the internal packaging is also plastic.So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made fromplant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but account for only one-two percent of the total amount of plastic elements produced. Henrik Ostergaard Nielson, a production supervisor in Lego's factory in Billund, told the New York Times last year： "We need to learn again how to do this”12. How will Lego cut down on plastic waste?A. By considering a brick rental scheme.B. By producing a new kind of toys instead of bricks.C. By replacing common plastic with a renewable material.D. By investing large amounts of money into market.13 What does Tim Brooks expect of the product rental scheme?A. It'll cause certain serious problems.B. It'll be of great complexity.C It'll require more mature technical skills.D. It'll involve much more kits of bricks.14 What does the underlined word “many” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Ideas.B. Values.C. Products.D. Resources.15 What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lego has to explore a new product to earn a profit.B. A brick rental scheme has been put into mass production.C plant-abased plastic is environmentally friendly.D Lego is optimistic about the brick rental scheme.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岀能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I think they maybe aren’t real．”There’s a question in Cole’s voice, like he’s trying on this idea．We’ve been down the road of pretending versus reality before，what with all the talk of superheroes and such around our house．“I think you are fight．Ewoks are just in the movies．But it would be cool if they were real，fight?”Cole’s silent for a while，thinking．“I just saw an Ewok’s ear back there!”Cole’s spotted an additional Ewok arm and one full body of the tiny hairy creatures．It does indeed look like we are in the Ewok forest of Star Wars．Cole’s imagination is more than I can understand．What do plants eat? Which is the best planet? Which rocks float? He loves life．He loves his inner world and outer existence equally．I hear a lot of Worry from parents about media sucking the souls from our children，taking away their time for creative play．For us，this hasn’t been the case．Cole and his brother are quite knowledgeable in the realities of life when it comes to Angry Birds，Curious George，and the adventures of Indiana Jones．These characters，and others of their own invention，live in my home like visitors，joining us on walks and outings．I appreciate them，though not all the time， for the company they give my sons and their busy minds．I think of media characters as an add-on to already busy minds，by carefully monitoring who gets invited into our lives，they become part of the parenting team．They teach loyalty adventure，curiosity—lessons I'm trying to convey，but in a much cooler way than I can．Pretence is awesome．It provides practice for real life without the ordinary interfering．4．Where are the family heading for?A．The cinema． B．A park．C．San Francisco．D．A desert．5．What can we know about Cole from the passage?A．He is proud of himself．B．He is full of curiosity．C．He is courageous．D．He is considerate．6．What do many parents think of their children playing via media?A．It wastes children’s time．B．It can make their children relaxed．C．It can engage their children in learning actively．D．It can accompany their children in their absence．7．What’s the author’s attitude to the media characters in parenting children?

As people were talking around the potato chip bag，they were sending tiny sound vibrations(振动)into the air．Those vibrations then hit lifeless objects around the room.

But Chinese children tend to be excellent. It’s consistently found Chinese students at the top of the academic pile and Americans much nearer the bottom.In Lenora Chu’s book “Little Soldiers: An American Boy, a Chinese School”, she begins to reveal the cultural differences that lead to this gap. The differences she notices in chil dren’s focus and discipline are dramatic, but she also notices cultural differences that influence how Chinese schools are run, and the reason why its students test so well. Along with factors such as highly trained teachers and an emphasis on memorizing before pursuing deeper understanding, the difference comes down to abelief that has begun slowly making its way across the US: achievement is the result of hard work, not natural ability.This approach comes from a firm belief that anything is possible wit h hard work, with chiku, or “eating bitter”. Studies show that for kids who score poorly. Chinese teachers believe a lack of effort—rather than of smarts — is to blame.Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, author of “Mindset (心态)”, is responsible for making up the terms “growth mindset” and “fixed mindset”. Chinese students are trained to have a growth mindset: if they aren’t doing well, they’11 work harder, a nd they’ll be successful. American children tend to be trained to hav e a fixed mindset about academics: their abilities are largely predetermined and static. If they aren’t doing well, it’s because they’re not good at it.In America students are told that learning is fun and easy. But real learning is actually very difficult and takes suffering and anxiety. If you’re not willing to go through that you’re not going to learn deeply. The downside is these students often give up when something gets hard or when it’s no longer fun.23．According to Lenora Chu, what contributes most to the Chinese students’excellent academic performance?A．School operation model. B．The emphasis on memorizing.C．High-qualified teachers. D．Chinese culture.24．According to Chinese teachers, students failing an exam are______.A．lazy B．slowC．unfocused D．foolish25．Which of the following is TRUE according to Carol Dweck’s theory?A．A majority of Chinese students are born excellent learners.B．American students tend to believe learning ability is genetically determined.C．Amerlcan students should choose a Chinese school to achieve success.D．American students are lacking in a fixed mindset, compared to Chinese students.26．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Students should study in a fun way.B．American students are always anxious about their study.C．American students have no difficulty in learning deeply.D．Diligence plays an essential part in learning.The sixth mass extinction is not a worry for the future. It’s happening now，much faster than previously expected，and it's entirely our fault，according to a study puhlished Mooday.Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade，pollution，habitat loss and the use of toxic substances. The findings published in the scientific Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences( PNAS)show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recent decades.Gerardo Ceballos González，a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and one of the authorsof the study，said approximately 173 species went extinct between 2001 and 2014. “173 species is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal extinction rate. ”he told C NN in an email. He and his team found that in the past 100 years，more than 400 vertebrate(脊椎动物的)species went extinct. In the normal course of evolution，such extinctions would have taken up to 10，000 years，they said.Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests. There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history，each wiping out between 70％and 95％of the species of plants，animals and microorganisms. The most recent，66 million years ago，saw dinosaurs disappear. The past events were caused by catastrophic changes of the environment，including massive volcanic eruptions or collision with an asteroid.The sixth mass extinction the one happening now—is different：scientists say it’s caused by humans. The researchers also said the current coronavirus(冠状病毒)crisis shows people’s recklessness(鲁莽)towards nature can seriously hurt themselves. Many endangered species are dying in large numbers due to the trade in wild animals and plants.27．What does the underlined word“toxic”in Para. 2 mean?A．Poisonous B．UsefulC．Alternative D．Environment-friendly28．How does the writer convince readers of the seriousness of the mass extinctions?A．By listing reliable statistics.B．By imagining a picture of the extinctions.C．By mentioning some news from CNN.D．By explaining the history of the extinctions.29．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To tell the difference between the fifth and sixth extinction.B．To explain the cause of the coronavirus crisis.C．To warn humans to get rid of their wrong actions.D．To show the writer’s concern about the endangered species.30．What does this article mainly talk about?A．The changes of the environment do harm to wildlife.B．The sixth mass extinction is much faster than expected.C．Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests.D．The current coronavirus has arisen from the illegal trade.三、七选五Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night?

One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue education, not comfort.Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China, 2,000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is more than enough. According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform, the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019；for Chengdu, it was 1,900 yuan.Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2,000 yuan monthly allowance, the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money. Her "meager" allowance, she said, prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.By the time a person enters a college, she or he should have developed a healthy consumption habit. And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income. On a deeper level, the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents' hard work. Besides, some college students could take UP part-time jobs to meet their monetary needs if they feel their parents don't or can't send them enough money. In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy consumption habits. More importantly, they should always bear in mind that education is their top priority in college（1）（2.5分）What's the expert's attitude to the issue about the undergraduate student?A．He was critical.B．He was neutral.C．He was supportive.D．He was unconcerned.（2）（2.5分）In 2019, the undergraduates' average monthly expense in Hangzhou wasA．more than 2,000B．633 dollarsC．less than 2,000 yuan D．1,900 yuan（3）（2.5分）Which of the following best explains "meager" in paragraph 3?A．Empty.B．Pitiful.C．Mean.D．Fruitful.（4）（2.5分）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A．College students should keep their expenses in line with their family conditions.B．College students consumption level is determined by their parents.C．College students should take up a part-time job to cover their expenses.D．College students should deal with their living expenses problems reasonably.5．（10分）阅读理解Today, China has conducted its first 3D printing experiment in space in a newly launched spacecraft, which was put into low-Earth orbit by China's Long March 5B heavy lift carrier rocket.Video broadcast on CCTV showed that the printer has printed a flat section of a honeycomb-shaped (蜂巢状) structure as well as a symbol of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. , the parent company of the China Academy of Space Technology. The experiment was done by a 3D printer, developed and built by its Beijing Spacecrafts Manufacturing Factory, inside the prototype of China's new — generation manned spacecraft.The printer, named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D Printing System, uses carbon fiber-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects. It is installed in the reentry module of the experimental spaceship, and will be brought back to Earth once the module returns.The printer features advanced technologies in material modeling, precision control and automation. Once the space-based 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready, it can extensively benefit space programs as astronauts can use it to manufacture a lot of things they currently need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft.Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said the 3D Printer will be very useful in extended space missions, such as those in a space station, because it will allow astronauts to make components quickly and conveniently in space. The technology will save future space journeys considerable resources and costs.In fact, the device is not the only representative of 3D printing onboard the PrototypeA CubeSat deployer, designed and made through 3D printing by CoSats Space Technology, is alsocarried by the spacecraft to check the adaptability of 3D-printed equipment in space. CoSats Chief Operating Officer Bai Ruixue said the 3D-Printed deployer is much lighter and stronger than its counterparts and it will have huge Potential in the space industry.（1）（2.5分）What did the video broadcast on CCTV show to the audience?A．The process and the products of the 3D printing.B．The name and the shape of the 3D printer.C．The significance of the 3D printing technology.D．The relationship between the two companies.（2）（2.5分）What if a component is broken in the space station now?A．It has to be sent by spaceship back to earth for repair.B．The astronauts can fix it conveniently by hand on the spot.C．The astronauts make one using 3D printing and replace it.D．It has to be unloaded and abandoned in space.（3）（2.5分）Why is the last paragraph mentioned?A．To introduce the CubeSat deployer produced in space.B．To explain the advantages of the 3D printing in space.C．To show the adaptability of 3D printing in space.D．To indicate a bright future of 3D printing in space.（4）（2.5分）What can be a suitable title for the text?A．3D printing experiment conducted in space.B．3D printing set to help ease space trips.C．3D printing launched by Long March 5BD．3D printing—a new way to explore space.6．（10分）阅读理解Lego is considering a brick rental scheme in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable (可持续的) sources by 2030 and is ploughing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental scheme but acknowledged that lost pieces could cause a significant problem. He said the rental scheme was "possible" but admitted there were some "technical barriers", one of which is thecomplexity of some Lego kits (配套元件), many of which contain thousands of pieces."What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?" Mr Brooks added. "There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done.We are right at beginning of that." Mr Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would "probably never see the light of day" and there was no current plan to try a rental scheme.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint amid growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment.

AThe summer vacation is coming. If you do not know where to go, here are some cities to visit in 2019 recommended by Lonely Planet.CopenhagenWith its modern design, 15 Michelin-starred restaurants and extremely bike-friendly culture, it is no surprise that Denmark' s capital has topped Lonely Planet's top 10 cities to visit in the 2019 list. Copenhagen' s street food scene is booming on Refshaleoen, a former industrial area with a food and craft market, Reffen. Copenhagen is also home to UNESCO-listed Roskilde Cathedral, where Denmark's queens and kings are buried, and the breathtaking Louisiana Museum.MiamiThe top 10 list offers a mix of well-known and a lesser -known locations. Those places include second place Shenzhen, China, Novi Sad, Serbia in third place, and Miami, Florida in fourth place. With its stunning beaches, the South Beach scene and art scene mixed with Cuban and other Caribbean and Latin American cultures, Miami is hopping with something for everyone.Novi SadWhile Novi Sad isn't nearly as well-known as the capital of Belgrade, it 's much more fashionable. Nicknamed the “Athens of Serbia”, it's home to the country 's ann ual EXIT Festival, a music festival, which is held each July at the 18th century Petrovaradin Fortress. Next year, Novi Sad will be 2019* a European Youth Capital. It may be a practice run for 2021, when the city will celebrate the title of European Capital of Culture.KathmanduThree years after it was hit by an earthquake, Kathmandu is welcoming visitors to a city that is much quieter, by design. It remains the doorstep to the Himalayas, with medieval (中世纪的) architecture, great food and nightlife. It is also much quieter than it has been in the past with cars banned from the historic center. It is also hosting the South Asia Games in 2019.1. In which city can you see Roskilde Cathedral?A. Copenhagen.B. Miami.C. Novi Sad.D. Kathmandu.2. What is special about Miami?A. There is a music festival.B. There are beautiful beaches.C. There are different street foods.D. There is Petrovaradin Fortress.3. What can you do in Kathmandu?A. Take a bike ride.B. Climb the Alps.C. Visit various castles.D. Enjoy medieval architecture.BHey Jude is the Beatles song most likely to be bellowed by a choir of thousands. Any good song needs to be singable, but Hey Jude goes further: It's yellable and flexible. Into the gap after “Nahh, na, na, nahh-na-na, nahh”, you can slot(把....放入) almost any pair of syllables.It's a crowd-pleaser. This month, Hey Jude was the No.1 Beatles song on Apple Music; On Spotify, it was No.4. So, of all the countless classics the Beatles recorded, Hey Jude is one of thefour that younger music lovers most want to hear. What is its secret?Written by McCartney, Hey Jude bears his signature touch: empathy(同情) set to elegance. As McCartney melodies go，it's direct, running straight into its title, just like She Loves You. The tune and the idea of the lyrics came to McCartney in 1968, when he was driving from London to Surrey to see Julian Lennon after John had left him for Yoko Ono, a Japanese singer and songwriter. Hey Jude began as Hey Jules, like an arm around the shoulder of a five-year-old, so the compassion was there all along.By then, Lennon and McCartney were writing separately, but still acting as each other's sounding board. After working on Hey Jude some more, McCartney invited Lennon to his house and played it to him. One line, “The moveme nt you need is on your shoulder”, was there as a placeholder(占位符). McCartney thought “it's not that good”，but Lennon believed“that's the best line in it”.These exchange，recounted by McCartney in 1994, had two consequences, beyond preserving the line.“You love it twice as much", he said; it would forever remind him of Lennon: “It's an emotional point in the song.4. What do we know about Hey Jude?A. It was a gift for Yoko Ono.B. It is named after McCartney' s son.C. It is one of the most popular Beatles songs.D. It was completed all by McCartney.5. Why did McCartney write Hey Jude?A. To comfort Julian.B. To make a fortune.C. To help John Lennon.D. To make himself more popular.6. Which of the following words can best describe McCartney?A. Confident and stubbornB. Enthusiastic and hardworking.C. Talented and warm-hearted.D. Humorous and friendly.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A moving love storyB. A devoted father and his sonC. Hey Jude, the most valuable gift from the BeatlesD. How Hey Jude became one of our favorite Beatles songsCWhat's the point in dining out when we can have whatever meal we want delivered to our homes as we watch movies on our giant flat-screen TVs? According to statistics from Technomic, 86% of consumers are using off-premise (非经营场所的) channels at least once a month, and a third of consumers are using it more than they did a year ago.Most restaurants companies are chasing these trends simply to keep up with quickly changing consumer demands. Fazoli's has spent the past two years investing in its drive-through, carryout, catering and delivery businesses, and has launched a new loyalty app aimed at making carryout orders easier. These efforts have paid off so far- off-premise sales are up 18.5% over last year for the company, said Jennifer Crawford, director of off-premise sales at Fazoli's.But, she notes tha t sales aren't the only benefit to giving priority to these channels.“The off-premise channel is a great opportunity to communicate and connect with a new consumer group," Crawford said.“Many of our off-premise guests have not dined in a Fazoli's or experienced our menu. With options like third-party delivery and online ordering, we have the capability to tap into potential new guests.Sales lifts and new customer potential are great rewards, to be sure. But that doesn't mean carrying out off-premise channels comes without challenges. Crawford said a big one is the lack of control and maintaining the guest relationship.“When a guest dines in, we can provide a level of service that improves the consumer dining experience," she said, The lack of control extends into the digital experience, as third-party apps can also be an issue. “Orders are not often processed properly due to the drop-down menus and default (默认) orders in third-party software," Crawford said. She adds that staffing issues can also arise when heavy delivery periods overlap strong in-restaurant traffic and maintaining food quality and integrity (完整) during drive time is tricky with certain dishes.Nevertheless, Crawford believes the juice is very much worth the squeeze.“Acros s the industry, dine-in traffic continues to decline or remain flat. If brands are not driving sales through catering, carryout and delivery, they are missing out on income," she said.8. Why does Fazoli's invest in off-premise channels?A. Because it wants to see the potential of its consumers.B. Because it wants to keep up with the latest changes.C. Because it wants to survive in the changing consumer landscape.D. Because it wants to communicate and connect with its new consumers.9. We can know from Paragraph 4 that____________.A. it is challenging to maintain quality and integrity of dishes during deliveryB. third-party apps cannot offer as good an experience of ordering as restaurantsC. third-party apps may get out of control when consumers experience online orderingD. during heavy delivery periods, more staff is always needed to deal with busy dine -in traffic10. What is Crawford' s attitude towards off premise channels?A. Cautious.B. Doubtful.C. Ambiguous.D. Favorable.11. What is the text mainly about?A. What challenges off-premise channels create.B. How restaurants are adapting to the rise of takeout.C. Why restaurants are prioritizing off-premise channels.D. How important off- premise channels are for restaurants.DAstronomers have found patches(斑块) of frost around the moon' s north and south poles which could one day provide a source of water for human visitors. The scientists spotted the signature of frozen water in infra -red(红外线的) measurements taken by Nasa' s moon mineralogy mapper, an instrument that flew on India's Chandrayaan-1 mission to the moon a decade ago. The freshly-analyzed data show that water ice lies low on the ground near the moon's polar regions that are permanently in shade and so sheltered from the heat of the sun' s rays.Most of the ice was found near the moon' s south pole around a bunch of craters. In the north, the patches of ice appeared to be more separated, according to Shuai Li at the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology in Honolulu. Follow-up measurements of the ice patches found that they tended to form where the surface temperature never rose above -163 °C, but temperature alone was not enough to guarantee frozen water: only 3.5% of the shadowy areas the scientists checked for water revealed notable signs of ice.The images are the first “direct and definitive evidence”of water ice that is exposed on the surface of the moon, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy ofSciences.“These ice deposits might be put to use as a local resource in future exploration of the moon,” the authors write.The Indian Space Agency launched its Chandrayaan-l mission to the moon in 2008 and was swiftly rewarded with evidence of frozen water on the lunar surface a year later. Rather than sheets of ice on the surface, the water is thought to exist as water molecules(分子) bound to grains of moon dust.Soon after the Indian feat, NASA crashed a spacecraft into the 100km-wide Cabeus crater which is in permanent shade on the moon s south pole. The intentional act of lunar violence threw up some pieces of soil from which scientists were able to confirm the presence of water on the moon.12. What can we infer from paragraphs 1 and 2?A. Chandrayaan-l was rewarded with glory.B. Frozen water is believed to have been found.C. Astronauts spotted the signature of frozen water.D. Humans enjoyed a leap in moon exploration.13. Which of the following best explains “deposits” underlined in paragraph 3?A. Fund.B. Part of the costC. A natural accumulation.D. Money in a bank account.14. When was water first detected on the moon?A. In 2008.B. In 2009.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.15. Why did NASA crash a spacecraft into the crater?A. To collect definitive evidence of water.B. To make discoveries equal to the Indians'C. To discover secrets of the moon 's dark side.D. To separate water molecules from moon dust.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 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。

One. expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue education, not comfort.Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China, 2,000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is more than enough. According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform, the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019；for Chengdu, it was 1,900 yuan.Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2,000 yuan monthly allowance, the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money. Her "meager" allowance, she said, prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.By the time a person enters a college, she or he should have developed a healthy consumption habit. And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income. On a deeper level, the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents' hard work. Besides, some college students could take UP part-time jobs to meet their monetary needs if they feel their parents don't or can't send them enough money. In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy consumption habits.

The experiment was done by a 3D printer, developed and built by its Beijing Spacecrafts Manufacturing Factory, inside the prototype of China's new — generation manned spacecraft.The printer, named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D Printing System, uses carbonfiber-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects. It is installed in the reentry module of the experimental spaceship, and will be brought back to Earth once the module returns.The printer features advanced technologies in material modeling, precision control and automation. Once the space-based 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready, it can extensively benefit space programs as astronauts can use it to manufacture a lot of things they currently need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft.Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said the 3D Printer will be very useful in extended space missions, such as those in a space station, because it will allow astronauts to make components quickly and conveniently in space. The technology will save future space journeys considerable resources and costs.In fact, the device is not the only representative of 3D printing onboard the PrototypeA CubeSat deployer, designed and made through 3D printing by CoSats Space Technology, is also carried by the spacecraft to check the adaptability of 3D-printed equipment in space. CoSats Chief Operating Officer Bai Ruixue said the 3D-Printed deployer is much lighter and stronger than its counterparts and it will have huge Potential in the space industry.8.

The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable （可持续的） sources by 2030 and is ploughing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was "totally open" to the idea of a product rental scheme but acknowledged that lost pieces could cause a significant problem. He said the rental scheme was "possible" but admitted there were some "technical barriers", one of which is the complexity of some Lego kits （配套元件），many of which contain thousands of pieces." What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?” Mr Brooks added. "There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done.We are right at beginning of that.” Mr Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount ofre sources. He said many would "probably never see the light of day” and there was no curr ent plan to try a rental scheme.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint amid growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It manufactures 19 billion pieces per year—36,000 a minute——that are made only of plastic while much of the internal packaging is also plastic.So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane.

AMovie theaters around the world have closed during the coronavirus outbreak．Fortunately，there’s never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies．Below，read our picks for best travel movies：‘Thelma and Louise’(1991)“Thelma and Louise，”is a tale of female friendship，and the screen is dominated by the film’s two lead females．The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom．Filmed in California and Utah，with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park．“Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you’ve never been out West or if you have and eager to return．‘Grand Budapest Hotel’(2014)It’s one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson’s all works．Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s，the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art，prison escapes and a secret concierge(看门人)society．Though the hotel doesn’t actually exist，much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz，famed for its medieval streets．‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’(2001)When Harry Potter runs through a column at King’s Cross railway station in London to get toPlatform 9 3／4，we know it isn’t real．And yet we want to visit．The movie’s locations are inspired by real places，as graduates of English private schools will tell you：rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops，discovering books that are hundreds of years old．‘The Trip to Italy’(2014)In this film，you’re on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends．The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi，back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri．Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley，they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs．1．If you are interested in the scenery of American west，which film can you choose to watch?A．Thelma and Louise．B．Grand Budapest Hotel．C．Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone． D．The Trip to Italy．2．Which place mentioned in the films can’t be found in real life? A．Goerlitz．B．Grand Budapest Hotel．C．Capri．D．Dead Horse Point State Park．3．Why does the author write this passage?A．To introduce some places to travel．B．To introduce the newly released films．C．To recommend some travel movies to watch．D．To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films．BIn life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse．What’s sad is that even if it’s the latter，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that we don’t even recognize that they could be different．This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness．This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap：People are given a box of tacks(大头钉)and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly．Typically，the subjects try tacking the candle to the well or lighting it to fix it with melted wax．The psychologists had，of course，arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work．The tacks are too short，and the paraffin(石蜡)doesn’t stick to the wall．So how can you complete the task?The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candleholder．You empty it，tack it to the wall，and stand the candle inside it．To think of that，you have to look beyond the box’s usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and reimagine it serving an entirely new purpose．That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness．The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society．Thepolitical theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase‘‘frozen thoughts’’to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should．In Arendt’s eyes，the self-content reliance on such accepted“truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn’t fit their worldview，even when there was plenty of evidence for them．Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence，she said．“It can be found in highly intelligent people．”4．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The experiment．B．Functional fixedness．C．The path．D．The thinking．5．Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A．Tacking the candle to the wall．B．Fixing the candle with melted wax．C．Using the tack box as a candleholder．D．Lighting the candle to stand it．6．Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A．People should question．B．We should be used to the way things are．C．People shouldn’t accept the idea that doesn’t fit their worldview．D．The smarter people are，the more open to the new things they are．7．What’s the passage mainly about?A．An interesting experiment．B．A psychological phenomenon．C．A theory to be proved．D．The opinion of Hannah Arendt．CJapan’s biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at a11．For the last month，a married couple has been interacting with a robot —called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away．Made by ANA Holdings Inc．，it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached．But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat，and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there．“Virtual travel”is nothing new，of course．Storytellers，travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries．It’s only in recent decades that frequent，safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy．Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats，there are signs of a post-travel society emerging．Concerns about environmental sustainability cause losses to airlines which release much carbon．And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world．For the travel industry，virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends．Of course，new’technologies encourage far-out claims．ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year．Profits，too，will probably be difficult to make：By one estimate，the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023．By contrast，ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year．But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak，the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand．ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon，but they’11 almost certainly be a part of travel’s high—tech future．8．Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?

AMovie theaters around the world have closed during the coronavirus outbreak．Fortunately，there’s never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies．Below，read our picks for best travel movies：‘Thelma and Louise’(1991)“Thelma and Louise，”is a tale of female friendship，and the screen is dominated by the film’s two lead females．The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom．Filmed in California and Utah，with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park．“Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you’ve never been out West or if you have and eager to return．‘Grand Budapest Hotel’(2014)It’s one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson’s all works．Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s，the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art，prison escapes and a secret concierge(看门人)society．Though the hotel doesn’t actually exist，much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz，famed for its medieval streets．‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’(2001)When Harry Potter runs through a column at King’s Cross railway station in London to get toPlatform 9 3／4，we know it isn’t real．And yet we want to visit．The movie’s locations are inspired by real places，as graduates of English private schools will tell you：rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops，discovering books that are hundreds of years old．‘The Trip to Italy’(2014)In this film，you’re on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends．The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi，back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri．Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley，they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs．1．If you are interested in the scenery of American west，which film can you choose to watch? A．Thelma and Louise．B．Grand Budapest Hotel．C．Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone．D．The Trip to Italy．2．Which place mentioned in the films can’t be found in real life? A．Goerlitz．B．Grand Budapest Hotel．C．Capri．D．Dead Horse Point State Park．3．Why does the author write this passage?A．To introduce some places to travel．B．To introduce the newly released films．C．To recommend some travel movies to watch．D．To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films．BIn life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse．What’s sad is that even if it’s the latter，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that we don’t even recognize that they could be different．This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness．This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap：People are given a box of tacks(大头钉)and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly．Typically，the subjects try tacking the candle to thewell or lighting it to fix it with melted wax．The psychologists had，of course，arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work．The tacks are too short，and the paraffin(石蜡)doesn’t stick to the wall．So how can you complete the task?The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candleholder．You empty it，tack it to the wall，and stand the candle inside it．To think of that，you have to look beyond the box’s usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and reimagine it serving an entirely new purpose．That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness．The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society．The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase‘‘frozen thoughts’’to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should．In Arendt’s eyes，the self-content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn’t fit their worldview，even when there was plenty of evidence for them．Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence，she said．“It can be found in highly intelligent people．”4．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The experiment．B．Functional fixedness．C．The path．D．The thinking．5．Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A．Tacking the candle to the wall．B．Fixing the candle with melted wax．C．Using the tack box as a candleholder．D．Lighting the candle to stand it．6．Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A．People should question．B．We should be used to the way things are．C．People shouldn’t accept the idea that doesn’t fit their worldview．D．The smarter people are，the more open to the new things they are．7．What’s the passage mainly about?A．An interesting experiment．B．A psychological phenomenon．C．A theory to be proved．D．The opinion of Hannah Arendt．CJapan’s biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at a11．For the last month，a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away．Made by ANA Holdings Inc．，it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached．But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat，and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there．“Virtual travel”is nothing new，of course．Storytellers，travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries．It’s only in recent decades that frequent，safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy．Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats，there are signs of a post-travel society emerging．Concerns about environmental sustainability cause losses to airlines which release much carbon．And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world．For the travel industry，virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends．Of course，new’technologies encourage far-out claims．ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year．Profits，too，will probably be difficult to make：By one estimate，the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023．By contrast，ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year．But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak，the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand．ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon，but they’11 almost certainly be a part of travel’s high—tech future．8．Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?A．To show the Japanese are crazy about travel．B．To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people’s real life．C．To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots．D．To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter．9．Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel’s appearance? A．Storytellers，travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries．B．Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people．C．People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines．D．More and more people lose interest in travel．10．What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?A．They will be put on the market soon．B．They will bring ANA a lot of money．C．They will replace ANA’s airplanes soon．D．They are almost unavoidable in travel’s future．11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Your Next Travel May Be VirtualB．Easy Travel in the FutureC．Virtual Travel BenefitsD．Air Travel DisappearingDRick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashioned Photographer to turn his lens(镜头)to people living with genetic，physical and behavioral differences．He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病)girl.“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful．Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful．As an artist，I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines．I see it everywhere．So that kind of was my initial kind of-that opened my eyes a little wider in the wider.”Guidotti has created Positive Exposure，a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated．Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty．One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera．“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me，but my meeting was my profound moment．I remember that particular day．He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who，really like，loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition．”Rick is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty．He says his tour is not about money，it’s about the message：“As I travel from community to community，I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are．They’reseeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well．All is based on the philosophy of change-how you see，see how you change．”12．Why did Rick change his career?A．Because he couldn’t earn enough money from his former career．B．Because the beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful．C．ecause he wanted to create his own company．D．Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl．13．What can we know about Positive Exposure?A．It brings a lot of money for Rick．B．It makes the public more beautiful．C．It welcomes differences in the world．D．It makes photography more popular．14．What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in paragraph4?A．Jayne was beautiful indeed．B．Photographs gave Jayne a positive sense of who she was．C．It was unfair nobody discovered Jayne’s beauty．D．Jayne’s picture was more beautiful than herself．15．What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．We should travel frequently．B．Community has a great influence on everyone．C．We sheuld make contributions to our community．D．Your attitude to seeing the world decides your behavior．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。

AHere are four women who made it their life’s mission to make the world a better place through environmental activism．Greta Thunberg“I have not accomplished anything．”This statement was made by Greta Thunberg(17 years old)and it couldn’t be further from the truth．Her dedication to protecting the environmenl for our future generations is all accomplishment on its own．Her ability to resist to adults in power is admirable and continues to push the importance of conservation to the front of our minds．Peggy ShelmrdWE ACT for Environmental Justice is an organization that“through advocacy，planning，and research…mobilizes low-income communities to make environmental changes．”At the helm(掌权)of WE ACT is Peggy Shepard. Her goal is to make sure that sustainable environmental practices are accessible to all，regardless of circumstance．Rachel CarsonAmerican marine biologist，writer，scientist，and ecologist，Rachel Carson(1907—1964)，was way ahead of her time．She wrote about conservation in the late 1930s and focused on her mission of protecting our oceans．Julia“Butterfly”HillIn the late 90s，Julia“Butterfly”Hill spent 738 days living in an ancient redwood，called Luna．This act brought awareness to the immense human threats to Redwood trees．Julia continues to advocate for the environment．“By standing together in unity，solidarity and love，we will heal the wounds in the earth and in each other．We can make a positive difference through our actions．”1．What do we know about Greta Thunberg?A．She has not accomplished anything．B．She seldom tells the truth．C．She faces powerful people bravely to protect environment．D．She shows great respect and admiration to people in power．2．Wh y did Peggy Shepard set up the organization WE ACT?A．To help poor people to lead a better life．B．To appeal to low-income group to protect our environment．C．To make people aware of the environmental status．D．To control the changes of environment．3．Who preferred taking on-the-spot actions to protect environment?A．Greta Thunberg．B．Peggy Shepard．C．Rachel Carson．D．Julia“Butterfly”Hill．BEvery so often，someone so young does something so amazing that you can’t help but wonder how he manages it．That’s what happened the first time we heard Matthew Whitaker play the piano．Matthew is a jazz pianist who is blind，and since the age of 11，he’s been performing around the world．Matthew Whitaker was born at 24th week．He weighed 1 pound and 11 ounces．His parents were told he had less than a 50％chance of survival．One of the many complications(并发症)he faced was a disease which led to blindness．No one in Matthew’s family was a musician，but his grandfather bought him his first keyboard when he was 3 years old．It didn’t take long for Matthew to show that he had a gift．So the Whitakers decided to get Matthew a teacher，which proved tobe difficult．“At the time，we got a lot of answers that he’s too young and they don’t know how to teach a blind child，”Moses Whitaker said．“He was 3 years old at the time．”Finally，Dalia Sakas agreed to meet Matthew．Dalia is the director of music studies at a music school in New York City，a school for the visually impaired．To her surprise，Matthew could 1isten to a piece of music once and then play it．“Because it is rare to meet someone of the world and I want to make that possible．”She did．Matthew has played in more than 200 clubs and concert halls around the world．His love of music has never been in doubt．Matthew’s latest album is called Now Hear This．One critic noted that it sounded like Matthew was playing with six hands．4．Which word best describes Matthew as a pianist? A．Fruitless．B．Ordinary．C．Remarkable．D．Ambitious．5．What was the root cause of Matthew’s blindness?A．His premature hirth．B．His low weight．C．His low chance of survival．D．A disease running in his family．6．What increased the difficulty finding Matthew a music teacher?A．His family background．B．His lack of talent．C．His age and disability．D．His character．7．Why did Dalia accept Matthew as her student?A．Because she sympathized Matthew for his experience．B．Because she was struck by Matthew’s talent for music．C．Because she gave in to the insistence of Matthew’s grandfather．D．Because she knew how to teach a blind student well．CFor the most part，American children aren’t great at math．But Chinese children tend to be excellent．It’s consistently found Chinese students at the top of the academic pile and Americans much nearer the bottom．In Lenora Chu’s book“Little Soldiers：An American Boy，a Chinese School”，she begins to reveal the cultural differences that lead to this gap．The differencesshe notices in children’s focus and discipline are dramatic，but she also notices cultural differences that influence how Chinese schools are run，and the reason why its students test so well．Along with factors such as highly trained teachers and an emphasis on memorizing before pursuing deeper understanding，the difference comes down to a belief that has begun slowly making its way across the US：achievement is the result of hard work，not natural ability．This approach comes from a firm belief that anything is possible with hard work，with chiku，or“eating bitter”．Studies show that for kids who score poorly．Chinese teachers believe a lack of effort—rather than of smarts—is to blame．Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck，author of“Mindset(心态)”，is responsible for making up the terms“growth mindset”and“fixed mindset”. Chinese students are trained to have a growth mindset：if they aren’t doing well，they’11 work harder，and they’11 be successful．American children tend to be trained to have a fixed mindset about academics：their abilities are largely predetermined and static. If they aren’t doing well，it’s because they’re not good at it．In America students are told that learning is fun and easy. But real learning is actually very difficult and takes suffering and anxiety．If you’re not willing to go through that you’re not going to learn deeply．The downside is these students often give up when something gets hard or when it’s no longer fun．8．According to Lenora Chu，what contributes most to the Chinese students’excellent academic performance?A．School operation model． B．The emphasis on memorizing．C．High-qualified teachers．D．Chinese culture．9．According to Chinese teachers，students failing an exam are______.A．lazy B．slow C．unfocused D．foolish 10．Which of the following is TRUE according to Carol Dweck’s theory?A．A majority of Chinese students are born excellent learners．B．American students tend to believe learning ability is genetically determined．C．Amerlcan students should choose a Chinese school to achieve success．D．American students are lacking in a fixed mindset，compared to Chinese students.11．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Students should study in a fun way．B．American students are always anxious about their study．C．American students have no difficulty in learning deeply．D．Diligence plays an essential part in learning．DThe sixth mass extinction is not a worry for the future．It’s happening now，much faster than previously expected，and it's entirely our fault，according to a study puhlished Mooday．Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade，pollution，habitat loss and the use of toxic substances．The findings published in the scientific Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences( PNAS)show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recent decades．Gerardo Ceballos González，a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and one of the authors of the study，said approximately 173 species went extinct between 2001 and 2014．“173 species is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal extinction rate．”he told CNN in an email．He and his team found that in the past 100 years，more than 400 vertebrate(脊椎动物的)species went extinct．In the normal course of evolution，such extinctions would have taken up to 10，000 years，they said．Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests．There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history，each wiping out between 70％and 95％of the species of plants，animals and microorganisms．The most recent，66 million years ago，saw dinosaurs disappear．The past events were caused by catastrophic changes of the environment，including massive volcanic eruptions or collision with an asteroid．The sixth mass extinction the one happening now—is different：scientists say it’s caused by humans．The researchers also said the current coronavirus(冠状病毒)crisis shows people’s recklessness(鲁莽)towards nature can seriously hurtthemselves．Many endangered species are dying in large numbers due to the trade in wild animals and plants．12．What does the underlined word“toxic”in Para．2 mean?

But real learning is actually very difficult and takes suffering and anxiety．If you’re not willing to go through that you’re not going to learn deeply．The downside is these students often give up when something gets hard or when it’s no longer fun．8．According to Lenora Chu，what contributes most to the Chinese students’excellent academic performance?A．School operation model．B．The emphasis on memorizing．C．High-qualified teachers．D．Chinese culture．9．According to Chinese teachers，students failing an exam are______.A．lazy B．slow C．unfocused D．foolish10．Which of the following is TRUE according t o Carol Dweck’s theory?A．A majority of Chinese students are born excellent learners．B．American students tend to believe learning ability is genetically determined．C．Amerlcan students should choose a Chinese school to achieve success．D．American students are lacking in a fixed mindset，compared to Chinese students.11．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Students should study in a fun way．B．American students are always anxious about their study．C．American students have no difficulty in learning deeply．D．Diligence plays an essential part in learning．DThe sixth mass extinction is not a worry for the future．It’s happening now，much faster than previously expected，and it's entirely our fault，according to a study puhlished Mooday．Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade，pollution，habitat loss and the use of toxic substances．The findings published in the scientific Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences( PNAS)show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recentdecades．Gerardo Ceballos González，a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and one of the authors of the study，said approximately 173 species went extinct between 2001 and 2014．“173 species is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal extinction rate．”he told CNN in an email．He and his team found that in the past 100 years，more than 400 vertebrate(脊椎动物的)species went extinct．In the normal course of evolution，such extinctions would have taken up to 10，000 years，they said．Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests．There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history，each wiping out between 70％and 95％of the species of plants，animals and microorganisms．The most recent，66 million years ago，saw dinosaurs disappear．The past events were caused by catastrophic changes of the environment，including massive volcanic eruptions or collision with an asteroid．The sixth mass extinction the one happening now—is different：scientists say it’s caused by humans．The researchers also said the current coronavirus(冠状病毒)crisis shows people’s recklessness(鲁莽)towards nature can seriously hurt themselves．Many endangered species are dying in large numbers due to the trade in wild animals and plants．12．What does the underlined word“toxic”in Para．2 mean?A．Poisonous．B．Useful．C．Alternative．D．Environment-friendly．13．How does the writer convince readers of the seriousness of the mass extinctions?A．By listing reliable statistics．B．By imagining a picture of the extinctions．C．By mentioning some news from CNN．D．By explaining the history of the extinctions．14．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To tell the difference between the fifth and sixth extinction．B．To explain the cause of the coronavirus crisis．C．To warn humans to get rid of their wrong actions．D．To show the writer’s concern about the endangered species．15．What does this article mainly talk about?A．The changes of the environment do harm to wildlife．B．The sixth mass extinction is much faster than expected．C．Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests．D．The current coronavirus has arisen from the illegal trade.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。

AThe Future Leaders is a year-round leadership development programme that is changing lives for a diverse range of young people in New Zealand．It is part-time，designed for young people aged 16-25．You’11 meet amazing peo ple，and attend the national event Festival for the Future．Yon'11 get access to coaching and mentoring(指导)，workshops to help you develop ideas and skills for the future，and make a difference in your community．Are you aged 16—25? Do you want to be inspired，build your connections and skills for the future? Apply now．Two great ways you can apply to take part.Option 1—applying as a Catalyst( a person that causes a change)is the best way to boost your capability．The key difference between this and the wider‘Future Leaders’option，is that you’11 attend all three national hui(including Festival for the Future)，get access to one-on-one support through mentoring and coaching，and take more of a leadership role working with other Catalysts to develop and lead a project in your community.Whilst there’s no cost to you，if you’re offered a place as a Catalyst it's the equivalent of receiving a $5，000 scholarship to support your training and development．Spaces are strictly limited to 4 Catalysts per community．Option 2—applying as a Future Leader is the lighter way to experience the programme．Whilst you won’t attend all three national hui or get one-on-one coaching and mentoring，you’11 still make awesome connections，be inspired and build your leadership skills．You’11 get th e chance to attend Festival for the Future in Wellington，attend local events and workshops，and get involved in the project in your community．Whilst there’s no cost to you，if you’re offered a place as a Future Leaders，it’s the equivalent of receiving a $1，000 scholarship to support your training and development．Spaces are limited．1．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a programme to all ages．B．To show young people how to apply for the Future Leaders．C．To list two application positions．D．To encourage people to be future leaders．2．What can we know about the Future Leaders programme?A．It can equip you with leadership skills．B．It’s designed for successful young people．C．It supplies activities to help the community．D．It requires you to take part all year round．3．What’s the similarity that lies in Option 1 and Option 2?A．You will attend all three national hui.B．You can receive no scholarship．C．The two options are both free of charge．D．There are a rang of spaces to choose from．BMyles Kerr knew that being a Marine(水兵)comes with a lot of responsibility，but despite the huge weight he has on his shoulders，he has not forgotten the essence of being a public servant——that of being human．Seven years ago，a photo of a Marine and a young boy running a marathon immediately went viral after it was shared on social media．But what seemed like a simple image packed a much deeper backstory．This story happened in 2013，but its relevance is still as powerful as ever．The pair were running The Jeff Drench Memorial 5K in Charlevoix，Michigan when Myles Kerr came across Brandon Fuchs，a 9-year old boy struggling to keep up with the rest of his group．Brandon，exhausted and out of breath，asked the Marine：“Will you run with me?”People who had their eyes on the prize would have refused，but the 19-year-old was different．Being a Marine，he knew exactly what he should do．Kerr put aside his goal of beating his mates and instead slowed down to accompany the struggling boy to the finish line．Because he chose to help the boy，the Marine ended up with the slowest time in his age group，according to the 5K results online．Though he might have lost the race，the Marine won over people’s hearts．His act of kindness was celebrated on social media．Kerr didn’t expect that his simple g esture would attract so much attention．He responded to a tweet praising his actions saying，“I was just doing what any man would do，but thank you!”He also tweeted that he received gifts from the Fuchs family for helping out Brandon．To Kerr，being a Marine was more than just being trained for combat—it also required learning how to be kind and compassionate towards the citizens they serve．4．What was Myles Kerr seven years ago?A．A marine．B．A public servant．C．A marathon runner．D．A Michigan citizen.5．What is Myles Kerr’s original goal to participate in the marathon?A．To win over people’s hearts． B．To accompany the boy．C．To get the best score in his age group．D．To build up his body．6．Which of the following best describe Myles Kerr?A．Kind and unselfish．B．Enthusiastic and generous．C．Responsible and proud．D．Stubborn and helpful．7．What does the story mainly convey?A．Being a Marine bears a lot．B．Kindness matters more than prizes．C．Being a Marine means a public servant．D．Good actions spread quickly．CTurtles may be cute，but they are also slow and clumsy，which doesn’t really help them when they are trying to cross train tracks．Luckily，for the turtles in Japan’s Hyōgo Prefecture，railway operators and a local aquarium teamed up to find a solution．Between 2002 and 2014，disruptions(中断)of train operation caused by turtles were reported 13 times，with many more probably going unreported．That is why，in 2015，West Japan Railway Co．and Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe joint forces to prevent tragic turtle deaths on the tracks and unnecessary train delay．After running a series of tests and experiments，they came up with a U—shaped ditch(沟渠)that collects the turtles，preventing them from getting stuck between the metal tracks and getting crushed to death．Tests showed that turtles trying to cross the train tracks often fall into the space between them，which leaves them with no other option than to walk between them．Sadly，this causes some of them to get stuck between the metal tracks at junctions(交叉口)，and they unavoidably get crushed to death when the points blades(叶片)move．“The turtles are basically just going about their daily business and have to cross the lines to get to a pond，”a railway spokesperson said．“When the poi nts blades move，unfortunately they get squashed between them and die．They can cause long delays to operations so we consulted with a turtle specialist to find the best way to help them．”The U—shaped concrete ditches installed at several critical points along the train lines near the city of Kobe catch the turtles at danger of getting stuck between the tracks．They allow the turtles to get past the junctions safely．10 turtles were reportedly saved in the first month since the U—shaped ditch was put to use in November 2015．8．What’s the best title of the text?A．An Important Invention in JapanB．The U-shaped Concrete DitchesC．Turtles Crossing Train Tracks in DangerD．Japan’s Clever Solution to Help Turtles Cross Train Tracks9．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．Why the U-shaped ditch is invented．B．The turtles’terrible conditions．C．The train delay caused by turtles．D．How the turtles go through the tracks．10．What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The turtles．B．The trains．C．The train tracks．D．The points blades．11．What can we infer about the ditches?A．They are installed on the railway tracks．B．They can prevent turtles from escaping．C．They are easy to trap the turtles．D．They are helpful for turtles to cross train tracks．DThe ocean covers over 70 percent of the surface of Earth today，but over 3 billion years ago the entire planet may have been covered in water．To investigate what our planet was like billions of years ago，a team of researchers turned to indirect methods of analysis at a geological site in the Australian Outback known as Panorama(全景画)in the Pilbara Craton．Today，the region is 100 kilometers inland，but 3.2 billion years ago，it was deep underwater．In fact，there were also once ancient hydrothermal vents(热水口)there where seawater bubbled up through the ocean floor．“There are no samples of really ancient ocean water lying around，but we do have rocks that interacted with that seawater and remembered that interaction，”lead author Benjamin Johns on，an assistant professor at Iowa State University，said in a statement．The researchers collected over 100 of these rock samples and found something peculiar in them：a slightly higher amount of a particular isotope(同位素)of oxygen．The vast majority of oxygen on Earth is Oxygen-16 and contains eight protons(质子)and eight neutrons．However，about 0.20 percent is Oxygen-18．Samples from Australia show the region’s ancient water contained more Oxygen-18 than present times．Since continents are covered in clay-rich soil that is efficient at trapping Oxygen-18，the team suggests that without continents covered in soil，more Oxygen-18 would have been present in the ocean．Their discovery indeed suggests there wasn’t much dry land available 3.24 billion years ago．“There’s nothing in what we’ve done that says you can’t have tiny，micro-continentssticking out of the oceans，”added co-author Boswell Wing．“We just don’t think there were global-scale formations of continental soils like we have today．”The researchers don’t k now when and how continents began to emerge out of the ocean but they plan to investigate “younger”rock formations to piece together a more precise timeline．12．Where is the research site?A．In a region deep underwater．B．In a region off Australia．C．In a region inland Australia．D．In a region outside the Pilbara Craton．13．What do the underlined words“interact with”in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Have an effect on each other．B．Have a one-way effect．C．Have a mysterious effect．D．Have a negative effect．14．What’s the researchers’conclusion after analyzing samples from Australia?A．Modern earth must have been a water world．B．Modern earth must have been a continental world．C．Ancient earth may have been a water world．D．Ancient earth may have been a continental world．15．What’s the researchers’next focus of the study?A．To research continental soils’formations．B．To research the ocean’s formations．C．To research“older”rock formations．D．To research“younger”rock formations．第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

2020届滨州市滨城区第三中学高三英语第四次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFour Best Hikes in the WorldThere's nothing like getting out and getting some fresh air on a hike. No matter whether your idea of a hike is a leisure walk or climbing the highest mountain on Earth, we've got you covered. Below are four best hikes inthe world.Torres del Paine W CircuitLocation (位置): Patagonia. ChileDistance: 37 + milesTime: 5~6 daysBest time to go: October to JanuaryThe W Circuit is one of the most recommended hikes you'll find.

Hike through canyons, gorges and ridges, and see tombs and temples along the way all while avoidingcrowds of tourists.Yosemite Grand TraverseLocation: California, the United StatesDistance: 60 milesTime: 6~7 daysBest time to go: July to SeptemberKnown for some of the best hiking in the world, Yosemite National Park is famous for its views and huge sequoia (红杉) trees. Praised byNational Geographic, the Yosemite Grand Traverse will take you through waterfalls and green mountaintops.1.Which of the following is the best time for the hike in Patagonia, Chile?A.AprilB.MayC.AugustD.December2.Where should you go for a less crowded hike?A.JordanB.Patagonia, ChileC.Arizona, the United StatesD.California, the United States3.What can you do along the Yosemite Grand Traverse?A.Plant sequoia treesB.Appreciate waterfallsC.Visit local templesD.Climb granite pillarsBIn a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remainimperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and isbacked by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.4. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean?A. EndangeredB. ConservedC. ExtinctD. Safe5. What can we infer from Polidoro's words?A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.C. Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.6. Which of following statement is true according to the passage?A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.7. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.CI’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.8. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”.A. attracted meB. surprised meC. accepted meD. refused me9. What does the house really mean to the author?A. A house.B. Buildings.C. An object.D. Memories.10. What surprised the friends I know after work?A. Finding the wall repainted.B. Erasing the fingerprints.C. Greeting them by tears.D. Leaving the wall unfinished.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Gift Made with LoveB. Buildings Made by ChildrenC. A Very Wonderful PaintingD. A Family HistoryDLife in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36％of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13％of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60％reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.12. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A. Paul Resnick.B. Robert Kraut.C. Thomas Putnam.D. Amitay Etzioni.13. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .A. the opinion expressed in Bowling AloneB. the survey made by the University of MichiganC. the conclusion in a report written in 1998D. the study conducted by Stanford University14. From the passage we learn that .A. watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectC. 36％ofweb users spend more than five hours a week onlineD. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions15. The passage mainly discusses .A. how we can make a better use of the InternetB. how declines in social connectedness appearC. whether the Internet causes an isolating effectD. what a different life the Internet brings to us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。
