)For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 71 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss’ invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 72 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother’s dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decidedto move to the West to seek his fortune.Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead,he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 73 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining,he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants provedso popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 74 By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.75 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A. As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.D. However, he did not get much business for those products.E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of Americanconsumer culture.G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.【参考答案】71. F 72. A 73. D 74. C 75.

61. ______________While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. The key to keeping fresh cut flower for a week or more without preservatives ( which contain biocides (杀虫剂) that kill bacterial and fungus) is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw up water. 62. ______________An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly harvested flowered at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.63. ______________The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, called respiration (呼吸), supplies the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living thingsrespire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.64. ______________How, then, to control the speed at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature, we know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse ( 反面 ) is also true. Thus by keeping low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.65. ______________Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, chlorine bleach ( 含氯漂白剂 ) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach be added to each liter of water. The water and solution (溶液)should also be replaced each day.【参考答案】61-65 BDCAE【2020界广东省湛江市二模】信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列表格内容及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。

Art is an important part of education, not only on its own but in the rest of education as well. However, in this information age, advanced technology in school has gained more attention than art. Sometimes when the school has a tight budget, it is usually art rather than technology that becomes the first thing to be cut.Anyway, the significance of art can't be ignored. First of all, in school it can help students develop a variety of life skills such as communication skills, problem solving skills and self- expression skills. Secondly, for high school students, those who arc involved in arts classes can have higher test scores. Besides, for some students, art seems to be motivation for coming to school because it’s a subject that they can outshine, which eventually balances their educational experience.New technology surely offers many benefits to some aspects of education, making teaching and learning easier and more effective. For example, technology simplifies tasks that take much longer to do, like conducting research or finding information. But advanced technology has bad effects such as the risk of being overweight, tiredness and even potential mental health problems, while art doesn't. On the other hand, unlike art, no technology can develop students' critical (批判的) thinking skills and a creative mind, both of which can help them to find successful careers after they graduate. Furthermore, no technology can help students to learn to bear responsibility, develop their imagination and increase their confidence.Generally, art should not be replaced with advanced technology in schools and the last thing to be cut out of school curriculum.【参考答案】任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)76. replace 77. attention 78. significant/ important 79. various 80. motivation 81. creativity82. responsibility 83. confident 84.

The movie tells the story of four Senior 3 students in the days leading up to the College Entrance Examination. Tan starred as Qin Peng, who is mischievous but outstanding at music and writing.[2]“Tan brings alive this type of student who seems to exist in every class, and he makes the character so lovely,” said his fan. Just like how his big screen character works harder on the basketball court than in the classroom, the 2010 Happy Boys fourthplace winner was not a typical good student. But when it came to music, he had passion and fresh ideas.[3]After finishing his Senior 1 year in Shenzhen, Tan went to study in Canada. At 15, he picked up the gu itar by accident when a friend invited him to learn the instrument with him. His friend ________ halfway, but Tan persisted. Throughout high school, he wrote folk songs inspired by his life experiences and performed them for students from around the world. In one song, Tan thanked his school for all the things he didn't like about it, such as required uniforms, rules against skipping classes and how teachers made him write letters to his family about his mistak es. “Growth comes with conflicts,” he once said in an interview with Hunan TV.[4]“For his listeners, Tan's lyrics and melodies always bring them back to their happy memories of hot summers and carefree youth,” Happy 8 commented. As a student at University of Toronto, Tan often performed his songs in bars or on busy streets. While many people might be too shy to perform in the street, Tan believes that experience helped build up his confidence. “Don't be afraid of losing face. It's always better to lose face while you are learning than to lose face for life by not improving yourself,” he told Sohu Entertainment, calling this his personal motto.1.What's the main idea of this passage?

You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561-1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month.
