Since 2017, the group has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. A lifelong nature lover, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer choice to the ocean. Seeing the growing garbage in the pond, in 2017, she rounded up two friends and approached a stranger with a kayak (皮艇), and together they cleared the litter from a pond. Soon others joined them.While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, a number have questioned why they refer to themselves as“old ladies”. Although she admits that it wasn't initially a conscious choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is an extremely important part of what the group is about.“Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of thankfulness,” Baur says. She notes that “women over 65 tend to feel the limitation of aging. ”They lose power and social standing, she says. Part of the goal of OLAUG is to show that older women, working asa team, can do a lot more than people might think.Criticism aside, the most common response is “I want to join you.” And after that first dive, the new members’excitement is easily seen.“They have just swum farther than they’ve ever swum. They've seen what they've never seen. And they’ve done good,” says Baur. “They come back with their hearts beating.”4．What can we learn about OLAUG?A．It is established by Baur’s friends.B．It offers safer swimming ponds.C．It is supported by retired psychologists.D．It aims to remove trash from ponds. 5．What do Baur’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?A．People over 65 are rarely healthy.B．People should be thankful for old age.C．Older women can still contribute to the society.D．Older people may lose chance to do what they like.6．What is the attitude of most new members towards OLAUG?A．Favorable.B．Intolerant.C．Doubtful.D．Unclear. 7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．OLAUG: Making the World a Cleaner PlaceB．OLAUG: the Only Solution to Underwater TrashC．Old Ladies: Diving Deep for a Cleaner Cape CodD．Old Ladies: Unsung Heroes of Pond ConservationIf you sit at your computer all day and then lie on the sofa for more screen time in the evening, your health can take a hit. However, a body of evidence links inactive lifestyles to an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病), memory loss and death from heart disease. A new study finds you can cut that risk with strikingly small amounts of activity.Researcher Keith Diaz of Columbia University Medical Center and his colleagues set out to find out what’s the least amount of physical activity a person must do to reduce the health risks of sitting. They invited volunteers to come to their lab and emulate a typical work day.“They’d come in and sit for eight hours,” Diaz explains. The volunteers were connected to continuous glucose (葡萄糖) monitors to measure blood sugar levels, and their blood pressure wasmeasured, too. Then, the participants took walking breaks of different lengths and frequency.The participants walked on an exercise machine at a leisurely pace — about 1.9 miles per hour. “We were really struck by just how powerful the effects were,” Diaz says. People who moved five minutes every half-hour experienced a nearly 60% reduction in post-meal blood sugar rises. “I have never seen that kind of a drop in blood sugar, other than with medication,” Diaz says.More than one out of every three adults in the U.S. has prediabetes, and nearly half of adults have high blood pressure. Both conditions increase the risk of heart disease which is the top cause of death in the U.S.. So, Diaz says many people can benefit from small, frequent movement breaks.Each week, adults are advised to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity. It can be broken up into smaller parts, 30 minutes a day, five times a week for example or even shorter breaks that are more frequent. “I think it’s easier to find small amounts of time to get some exercise,” Diaz says.8．What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Describe.B．Imitate.C．Schedule.D．Consider.9．What do participants have to do?A．Measure their blood pressure with each other.B．Take medicines to lower blood sugar levels.C．Take breaks of different length while walking.D．Take irregular walking rests of varying duration.10．What does Diaz suggest adults do?A．Schedule a daily 150-minute exercise.B．Engage in short regular exercise breaks.C．Aim for one long exercise period per week.D．Avoid taking any breaks from work for exercise.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment.B．Business.C．Education.D．Health.In recent years, some researchers have been exploring the possibility of so-called “automated valet parking”, a function that would allow a car to drive itself from the entrance of a parking to a free parking spot. While this autonomous driving application gathered great research interest, its reliable realization has so far proved challenging.Researchers at Mach Drive in Shanghai recently developed OCEAN, an Openspace Collision-freE trAjectory plaNner for the autonomous parking of vehicles. This planner was found to significantly improve the ability of cars to safely reach a parking spot, without colliding (碰撞) with objects on the way. It was designed to overcome the two primary shortcomings of approaches presented in previous studies tackling autonomous parking. The first of these is the inability to accurately predict collisions, while the second involves poor performance in real-time tests.The OCEAN planner builds on a previously introduced approach called Hybrid Optimization-based Collision Avoidance (H-OBCA), dealing with its primary limitations. Its improved design ultimately improves its ability to avoid collisions, along with its stability and speed in real time. “To avoid collisions, we have redesigned a simpler mathematical model and found a method to deal with the problem, making the solution process faster and more efficient,”Wang, Lu and their colleagues wrote in their paper.They tested their planner on hundreds of simulated (模拟的) scenes and conducted real-world experiments in public parking areas. Their results were highly promising, as OCEAN was found to outperform a variety of methods for autonomous parking applications.“Results show that the proposed method has better system performance compared with other standards,” Wang, Lu and his colleagues explained in their paper. “Our method makes it possible to deploy (部署) large-scale parking planner on low computing power platforms that require real-time performance.”The planner developed by this team of researchers could be improved and tested in additional real-world trials. In the future, it could be deployed by car-making firms, contributing to the introduction of automated vehicle parking technologies.12．What challenge does automated parking face?A．Avoiding collisions with obstacles.B．Reaching a parking spot quickly.C．Increasing in research investment.D．Gathering interest in the research.13．What do we know about OCEAN?A．It performs poorly in real-time tests.B．It is based on a previous study.C．It fails to accurately predict collisions.D．It is tested mainly in public parking areas. 14．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A．The planner fails on real-time platforms.B．The current planner is not perfect enough.C．Parking planner is only for small-scale use.D．The planner has been deployed on many platforms.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The underlying logic of the OCEAN planner.B．The possible application of the OCEAN planner.C．An improved planner for autonomous car parking.D．An introduction to an autonomous driving technology.How to Find Your Dream Career?In a world where we all spend so much time working, the job you have plays a big role in your overall happiness.

C．God only helps those who help themselves.D．Do kind things and your love will be passed on.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A mother taught her son kindness.B．An8-year-old girl found a flight home.C．A stranger helped a little girl to her destination.D．A woman proved herself trustworthy.C3,900feet below the surface,scientists in New Zealand found a“mysterious creature”.They discovered the newly-hatched ghost shark(魔鬼鲨)on the Chatham Rise,a part of the ocean floor located off the eastern coast of the South Island.Ghost sharks are deep-water animals closely related to sharks and rays.These fish are alsosome-times called ratfish or rabbitfish.They lay eggs on the seafloor where the embryos(胚胎)feed off the egg yolk(蛋黄)until they hatch.A scientist on the team who discovered the baby ghost shark said they were able to identify the shark as a baby because its stomach was still full of egg yolk.“We don’t actually know much about ghost sharks,”said Brit Finucci,a fisheries scientist on the study.“What we do know mostly comes from adults of their species.So it’s very rare and very uncommon to find juveniles of a lot of these species,so that’s why I got quite excited.”Because ghost sharks make their home in very deep water,they are difficult to study.While the exact species of ghost shark isn’t known yet,scientists hope this discovery will help inform them of the knowledge of this mysterious creature.Scientists hope the“very rare”finding will fill in research gaps about the species.“We’re hoping this will give us some more indication about the biology and ecology,”said Finucci. Researchers are using this shark to account for biological differences between juvenile and adult members of the subclass.Finucci added,“We’re not sure what we’re going to find,which is also quite exciting.”8．How did the scientists identify the shark as a baby?A．By its habitat.B．By its appearance.C．By the food it consumed.D．By the eggs it laid.9．What does the underlined word“juveniles”in Paragraph4refer to?A．Grown-up fish.B．Young sharks.C．Strange eggs.D．Uncommon creatures.10．Why is the discovery significant?A．It will lead to research work into deep water.B．It warns people to protect uncommon sea lives.C．It may reveal unknown facts about ghost sharks.D．It excites scientists’curiosity about ghost sharks.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Mysterious Creature Found to Lay Eggs in Deep WaterB．Newly-hatched Baby Shark Excites Scientific ImaginationC．Scientists Announce New Findings on Rare Shark SpeciesD．Rare Baby Ghost Shark Discovered off New Zealand CoastDDrinking coffee—particularly two to three cups a day—is not only linked with a lower risk of heart disease but also with living longer,according to studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s71st Annual Scientific Session.“Because coffee can quicken heart rate,some people worry that drinking it could lead to or worsen certain heart issues.But our data suggest that daily coffee intake shouldn’t be discouraged, but rather included as a part of a healthy diet for people with and without heart disease,”said Peter M.Kistler,head of the research.Kistler and his team used data from the UK BioBank,a large-range prospective database with health information from over half a million people who were followed for at least10years.For the first study,researchers examined data from382,535individuals without known heart disease. In general,having two to three cups of coffee a day was related to the greatest benefit,translating to a10%—15%lower risk of developing heart disease,heart failure,a heart rhythm problem,or dying for any reason.The second study included34,279individuals who had some form of cardiovascular disease at baseline.Of the24,111people included in the analysis who had an arrhythmia,drinking coffee had a connection with a lower risk of death.In a third study,researchers looked at whether there were any differences in the relationship between coffee and cardiovascular disease depending on whether someone drank instant or ground coffee or caffeinated or decaf.They found,once again,two to three cups a day to be linked with the lowest risk of arrhythmia and heart failure regardless of whether they had ground or instant coffee,but there are no cardiovascular benefits to choosing decaf over caffeinated coffees.However,coffee intake was based on self-report through a questionnaire fielded at study entry.Researchers were unable to control for dietary factors and participants were mostly white, so additional studies are needed.12．Why does drinking coffee concern people according to Kistler?A．It may disorder heart rate.B．It may cause heart diseases.C．It may increase high risk of death.D．It may worsen patients’condition. 13．How did researchers get the results of the study?A．By analyzing data.B．By doing experiments.C．By introducing a database.D．By referring to another study. 14．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．The research has some limitations.B．The result seems far from satisfactory. C．Ground coffee is the best choice for people.D．Decaf has the same benefits as caffeinated coffees.15．What is the purpose of the text?A．To solve a problem.B．To give practical advice.C．To present a research result.D．To recommend a balanced diet.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。

My name is Li Hua.I’d like to run for the head of the English club in our school. I’m outgoing, and get on well with my classmates and teachers. I am skilled in organizing all kinds of activities. I know, as the head, I must do the following things for the club: I will try to make it known to every student and more students involved in the activities organized by the club. Also, to improve our English and get more students interested in English, I intend to organize some activities at school like lectures and English parties and inter-school ones such as English debate competitions and speech contests. I hope all of you vote for me.Thank you.第二节（满分25分）One possible version:Paragraph 1：Picking up his courage, he pushed open the door, and went in. The sweet smell of candies and chocolates filled the air, instantly making David feel more at ease. He approached the counter, where Mr. Simon stood with a warm smile .“How may I help you?” Mr. Simon greeted as soon as he saw the boy. “Er...., sir, I’d like to....”Scratching his h ead. David was still nervous, but he had to give it a try for the skateboard. He told Mr. Simon he'd come for the job. Mr. Simon asked him jokingly if he wanted to save up for something. “Oh, yes”, with a red faceDavid nodded, “you’ve read my mind. I want a skateboard with my own effort.”Paragraph 2：“I’ve helped several kids achieve their dreams,” smiled Mr. Simon. David felt a little relaxed. Mr. Simon told him what he should do and how he would be paid. In the following weeks, he quickly adapted to his new role, from restocking shelves to assisting customers with their sweet cravings. With each paycheck, David diligently saved. And finally, the day arrived when he had saved enough money to purchase the longboard. As David rode his longboard down the street for the first time, he reflected on the journey that had led him here. He knew that it was not just a skateboard but a symbol of perseverance and the belief that dreams were achievable.附：听力录音稿听力原文（Text 1）M: Will you take the underground together with me after the film?W: No, actually there is no underground station around!

Professor Skye, you believe that technology is reducing our ability to communicate face to face. Is that correct? W: Yes. Older people are much more used to speaking directly to each other. I think this is particularly a problem that young people face.Technology is so much a part of their lives. They stay in and play computer games or listen to music on their phones. They’ve grown up with mobile phones and text messages and social networking sites.M: But what about people in their thirties? They’re used to both.(Text 7)W: Are you sure you want to learn to play another instrument?M: Sure. The more instruments you can play, the easier it is to learn another. I love the sound of the violin and enjoy playing it everyday, but I’d really like to try the piano now.W: They’re so expensive to buy though! What about learning to play the g uitar? You love rock, and I know someone who has a guitar for sale.M: That might be fun. Perhaps later. But I’ve already made my decision. Thanks.(Text 8)M: Hi, are you a new student?W: Yes, I’m doing the English language course. And you? Which course are you doing?M: European history. I’m Zack.

No garden, but there’s a lot to look at from the south-facing windows.W: OK. That’s all.
