By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth, instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. Onthe outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dadreminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. ButMoore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired toget round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy candythat's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it? "With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start herown candy company. He recommended that she do someresearch and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product—CanCandy./A.She argued with him.B.She tried to find a way out.C.She paid no attention.D.She chose to consult dentists.（1）A.It is beneficial to dental health.B.It is free of sweeteners.C.It is sweeter than other candies.D.It is produced to a dentists' recipe.（2）A.To earn more money.B.To help others find smiles.C.To make herself stand out.D.To beat other candy companies.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.How did Moore react to her dad's warning?What is special about CanCandy?What does Moore expect from her business?What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?Fame is a great thirst of the young.A youth is to be regarded with respect.Positive thinking and action result in success.Success means getting personal desires satisfied.3.The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick upcalls from numbers they don't know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams（欺诈）. We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it's too little, too late. By the time these "solutions"（解决方案） become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real./A.Panicked. B.Confused. C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.（1）A.aim at victims preciselyB.damage databases easilyC.start campaigns rapidlyD.spread information widely（2）A.B.C.D.（3）That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation （处理） and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use.At this year's I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches（数据侵入） of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother's name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they're able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's,tricking you into "confirming" your address, mother's name, and card number.Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can .What does the passage imply?Honesty is the best policy.Technologies can be double-edged.There are more solutions than problems.Credibility holds the key to development./A.B.C.D.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedWho Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsWhy Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousHow Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology4.By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer andgreener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms （海洋微生物）called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. "Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing, " she said, "but the type of phytoplankton is changing."And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, "it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive." Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes."It'll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because/A.B.C.D.（1）A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial. C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）of climate change, " Dutkiewicz said, "but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet."What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?The various patterns at the ocean surface.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.The way light reflects off marine organisms.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?What can we learn from the passage?Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changes.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.What is the main purpose of the passage?To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.5.Much of the work in today's world is accomplished（完成）in teams. Most peoplebelieve the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 1 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?2 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed.For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team's performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn't evident in baseball,where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team required its members to coordinate （协调）their actions. 3 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects/A.B.C.D.E.F.G.on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team's performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told, "There is no I in TEAM." 4Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war （拔河比赛）, whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.5 An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.二、完形填空（共30小题，每小题1.5分，共45分）6.Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-incomestudents in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 1 free rides to college students for the past eight years.

Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to 17 vehicles with parents who work six days a week.

With her busy work schedule, she didn’t think she could take care of a dog. In fact, she wasn’t looking for a furry friend at all.But then she met Finn. Today, the 34-year-old actress, who’s known for films Mamma Mia, is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.“I can’t imagine my life without him,” Seyfried says of 6.5-year-old Australian shepherd Finn, who is allowed on her U.S. set. If for some reason he can’t join Seyfried on location - like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China, Seyfried requests from her dog sitter twice — daily videos of him.Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society, she calls herself Finn’s “stage mother.”Seyfried and Finn shot an ’80s-themed video for the 9000StepsChallenge, which asks animal owners to walk 9,000 steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to the fact that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are euthanized (安乐死) in shelters each day because there’s not enough room.As for the video shoot, in which Seyfried and Finn walked the 9,000 steps - it was more exhausting than a long walk. Seyfried was Finn’s trainer on the shoot. She believes that instead of being Fin n’s cp-star, she’ll go back to being BFFs.24. Why did Seyfried originally refuse a pet dog?A. She wasn’t not yet a spokeswoman.B. She wasn’t used to being with a dog.C. She was too busy to care for a dog.D. She had not enough room for a dog.25.

Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from?A. NewsB. LifeC. EducationD. SportsCPinocchio ma y be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography（体温计）to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientist also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explainedthe findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the “Pinocchio effect”temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.28. Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?A. To tell a fairy tale.B. To give an example.C. To talk about a scientist.D. To introduce the topic.29. What is “Pinocchio effect”?A. Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.B. Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.C. The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.D. The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.30. How did Dr. Gómez Milán feel about the lie detector?A. Doubtful.B. Surprised.C. Confident.D. Puzzled.31. What lesson can we learn from the text?A. A lie will travel very hard.B. Many ways to bring a liar to light.C. A lie never lives to be old.D. Once a liar always a liar.DEast Africa is experiencing the worst desert locust outbreak in decades. Climate events have accelerated breeding of the pest across the region, and with a sudden rise in the locust population expected in coming weeks, urgent actions and funds are needed to prevent a human crisis.Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an ongoing desert locust outbreak at risk of serious food insecurity. Considered among the most destructive of moving pests, an adult locust can consume 2g of plants per day, affecting crops and grasslands. A group typically holds 20 to 150 million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per day, invading areas covering millions of square kilometers. An active group, therefore, can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.That global warming could increase the risk of desert locust crisis was proposed over ten years ago, and in February, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that the current outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change: “warmer seas mean more perfect breeding ground for locusts”. The outbreak has its origins in 2018, when a series of windstorms in the Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛) enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust requires to breed and band undetected in remote regions. Though our focus here is migration west, dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.The situation is going out of control. A rescue operation and financial support admit no delay. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) can take out only US$138 million for rapid response and immediate action —controlling the spread of the desert locust and safeguarding livelihoods. They say the maths is clear: about half the funding (资助) is needed for supervision, ground and sky control, and uniting efforts; the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers. As for the huge gap, they have called on the international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just US$69 million had been promised.This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa. The funds needed to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.32. Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?A. There is a big population there.B. There are large deserts and grasslands.C. Africa lies west of Arabian Peninsula.D. Good climate for breeding plays a role.33. Why does the writer list those figures in Para 2?A. To warn of the terrible damage by locusts.B. To help us understand how locusts live.C. To show how many locusts there are now.D. To draw a picture of the present Africa.34. What can we infer from the text?A. The crisis is not noticed until recently.B. More fund is needed to prevent the crisis.C. The crisis has been the focus of the world.D. Locusts are all from the Arabian Peninsula.35. Which is the best title for the text?A. Killing locusts before too lateB. Global warming, a world problemC. Funding Gap for Locust CrisisD.

actually caused it to slightly shrink,although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie,which rises the temperature of the forehead,”Dr.Gómez Milán explained the findings.“At the same time we feel anxious,which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study,researchers asked a number of60students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology.One of these tasks required making a3to4minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie.Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call.Interestingly,this lie detector picked up the“Pinocchio effect”temperature difference in80percent of the test subjects,which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“With

region,and with a sudden rise in the locust population expected in coming weeks,urgent actions and funds are needed to prevent a human crisis.Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an ongoing desert locust outbreak at risk of serious food insecurity.Considered among the most destructive of moving pests,an adult locust can consume2g of plants per day,affecting crops and grasslands.A group typically holds20to150million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per day,invading areas covering millions of square kilometers.An active group,therefore,can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.That global warming could increase the risk of desert locust crisis was proposed over ten years ago,and in February,the UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that the current outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change:“warmer seas mean more perfect breeding ground for locusts”.The outbreak has its origins in2018,when a series of windstorms in the Arabian Peninsula(阿拉伯半岛)enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust requires to breed and band undetected in remote regions.Though our focus here is migration west,dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.The situation is going out of control.A rescue operation and financial support admit no delay. The Food and Agricultural Organization(FAO)can take out only US$138million for rapid response and immediate action—controlling the spread of the desert locust and safeguarding livelihoods.They say the maths is clear:about half the funding(资助)is needed for supervision, ground and sky control,and uniting efforts;the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers.As for the huge gap,they have called on the international community to act now through funding.However,by the end of February,just US$69million had been promised.This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa.The funds needed to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.32.Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?A.There is a big population there.B.There are large deserts and grasslands.C.Africa lies west of Arabian Peninsula.D.Good climate for breeding plays a role.33.Why does the writer list those figures in Para2?A.To warn of the terrible damage by locusts.B.To help us understand how locusts live.C.To show how many locusts there are now.D.To draw a picture of the present Africa.34.What can we infer from the text?A.The crisis is not noticed until recently.B.More fund is needed to prevent the crisis.C.The crisis has been the focus of the world.D.Locusts are all from the Arabian Peninsula.35.Which is the best title for the text?A.Killing locusts before too lateB.Global warming,a world problemC.Funding Gap for Locust CrisisD.Africa,a crisis-stricken place第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

AAn increasing number of students worldwide are considering studying abroad. The application process varies from country to country. If you’re looking for a university with a st rong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options, here is some guidance to get you started.UKInternational students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs £20 for a single choice or £25 for more than one choice.The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student’s schooling and predicted grades. The biggest part of the application form is the personal statement, in which applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences.SwitzerlandSwitzerland has four official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise that its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language, usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas.CanadaInternational applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competency—there are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites.SingaporeThe process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee of S$20.21. Which country requires international applicants know French well?A. UK.B. Switzerland.C. Canada.D. Singapore.22. What part of the application is similar between the UK and Canada?A. The application system.B. The number of universities.C. The application cost.D. The personal statement.23. What’s special about the application process in Singapore?A. Applicants need to pay a lot.B. It is much simpler than elsewhere.C. It’s no different for native students.D. The competition is even more fierce.BOne day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters smoothly except for one. I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!”It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didn’t know, but I knew that one well.A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isn’t that worth something? But for Teacher Liao it didn’t work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui.“What’s this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed.“Zhe — the zhe in Zhejiang.”“Third tone?”“Fourth tone.”I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory — I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the nex t one.”It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground.I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, like building my confidence and then breaking down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept cr iticism where it was needed. But that wasn’tthe American way; I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didn’t mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you haven’t achieved anything yet.And so I studied. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.24. Which of the following can best replace “whined” in Paragraph 3?A. burst out.B. gave in.C. returned.D. complained.25. What did the writer expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again?A. Immediate correction.B. A new challenge.C. An encouraging response.D. A strict comment.26. How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching?A. Candy-coated.B. Weakness-focused.C. Interest-driven.D. Criticism-absent.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The writer was struggling with Liao’s teaching.B. The American way of teaching is better for adults.C. The writer was not gifted in language learning.D. Teacher Liao was not friendly with her students.CIn the winter of 1664-65, a bitter cold fell on London in the days before Christmas. Above the city, an unusually bright comet (彗星) shot across the sky, exciting much prediction of a snow storm. Outside the city wall, a woman was announced dead of a disease that was spreading in that area. Her house was locked up and the phrase “Lord Have Mercy On Us” was painted on the do or in red.By the following Christmas, the virus that had killed the woman would go on to kill nearly 100,000 people living in and around London — almost a third of those who did not flee.In The Great Plague (瘟疫), historian A. Lloyd Moote and microbiologist Dorothy C. Moote provide a deeply informed account of this plague year. Reading the book, readers are taken from the palaces of the city’s wealthiest citizens to the poor areas where the vast majority of Londoners were living, and to the surrounding countryside with those who fled. The Mootes point out that, even at the height of the plague, the city did not fall into chaos. Doctors, nurses and the church staff remained in the city to care for the sick; city officials tried their best to fight the crisis with all the legal tools; and commerce continued even as businesses shut down.To describe life and death in and around London, the authors focus on the experiences of nine individuals. Through their letters and diaries, the Mootes offer fresh descriptions of key issues in the history of the Great Plague: how different communities understood and experienced the disease; how medical, religious, and government bodies reacted; how well the social order held together; the economic and moral dilemmas people faced when debating whether to flee the city; and the nature of the material, social, and spiritual resources supporting those who remained. Based on humanity (人性), the authors offer a masterful portrait of a city and its inhabitants attacked by — and daringly resisting — unimaginable horror.28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. A comet always follows a storm.B. London was under an approaching threat.C. London was prepared for the disease.D. The woman was the beginning of the disease.29. What do the Mootes say about London during the Great Plague?A. The city remained organized.B. The plague spared the rich areas.C. The people tried a lot in vain.D. The majority fled and thus survived.30. Why do the Mootes focus on the nine individuals?A. They were famous people in history.B. They all managed to survive the Plague.C. They provided vivid stories of humanity.D. They united by thinking and acting as one.31. What’s the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a new book.B. To correct a misunderstanding.C. To report a new research.D. To show respect to the authors.DRivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet — carbon.Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years.As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming.Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.32. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from?A. The atmosphere.B. The rocks.C. The acid rain.D. The upstream areas.33. Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. To show how important to life carbon is.B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams.C. To show how a natural process is interrupted.D. To explain how humans fight global warming.34. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. We’d bet ter move upstream to live.B. We should protect plants along rivers.C. We’d better seek more help from plants.D. We should be cautious about river management.35. What is the best title for the text?A. What Humans Do with RiversB. How Rivers’ Transpor ting Carbon CountsC. What the Carbon Cycle Means to UsD.

With her busy work schedule, she didn’t think she could take care of a dog. In fact, she wasn’t looking for a furry friend at all.But then she met Finn. Today, the 34-year-old actress, who’s known for films Mamma Mia, is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.“I can’t imagine my life without him,” Seyfried says of 6.5-year-old Australian shepherd Finn, who is allowed on her U.S. set. If for some reason he can’t joinSeyfried on location - like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China, Seyfried requests from her dog sitter twice — daily videos of him.Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society, she calls herself Finn’s “stage mother.”Seyfried and Finn shot an ’80s-themed video for the 9000StepsChallenge, which asks animal owners to walk 9,000 steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to the fact that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are euthanized (安乐死) in shelters each day because there’s not enough room.As for the video shoot, in which Seyfried and Finn walked the 9,000 steps - it was more exhausting than a long walk.

SportsCPinocchio may be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography （体温计） to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientistalso found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the “Pinocchio effect”temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy”, said Dr. Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.28. Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?A. To tell a fairy tale.B. To give an example.C. To talk about a scientist.D. To introduce the topic.29. What is “Pinocchio effect”?A.

Climateevents have accelerated breeding of the pest across the region, and with a sudden rise in the locust population expected in coming weeks, urgent actions and funds are needed to prevent a human crisis.Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an ongoing desert locust outbreak at risk of serious food insecurity. Considered among the most destructive of moving pests, an adult locust can consume 2g of plants per day, affecting crops and grasslands. A group typically holds 20 to 150 million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per day, invading areas covering millions of square kilometers. An active group, therefore, can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.That global warming could increase the risk of desert locust crisis was proposed over ten years ago, and in February, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that the current outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change: “warmer seas mean more perfect breeding ground for locusts”. The outbreak has its origins in 2018, when a series of windstorms in the Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛) enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust requires to breed and band undetected in remote regions. Though our focus here is migration west, dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.The situation is going out of control. A rescue operation and financial support admit no delay. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) can take out only US$138 million for rapid response and immediate action —controlling the spread of the desert locust and safeguarding livelihoods. They say the maths is clear: about half the funding (资助) is needed for supervision, ground and sky control, and uniting efforts; the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers. As for the huge gap, they have called on the international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just US$69 million had been promised.This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa. The funds needed to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.32. Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?A. There is a big population there.B. There are large deserts and grasslands.C. Africa lies west of Arabian Peninsula.D. Good climate for breeding playsa role.33. Why does the writer list those figures in Para 2?A. To warn of the terrible damage by locusts.B. To help us understand how locusts live.C. To show how many locusts there are now.D. To draw a picture of the present Africa.34. What can we infer from the text?A. The crisis is not noticed until recently.B. More fund is needed to prevent the crisis.C. The crisis has been the focus of the world.D. Locusts are all from the Arabian Peninsula.35. Which is the best title for the text?A. Killing locusts before too lateB. Global warming, a world problemC. Funding Gap for Locust CrisisD.

If you’re looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options, here is some guidance to get you started.UKInternational students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs £20 for a single choice or £25 for more than one choice.The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student’s school ing and predicted grades. The biggest part of the application form is the personal statement, in which applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences.SwitzerlandSwitzerland has four official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise that its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language, usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas.CanadaInternational applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competency—there are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites.SingaporeThe process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee ofS$20.1.Which country requires international applicants know French well?.B.Switzerland.C.Canada.D.Singapore.2.What part of the application is similar between the UK and Canada?A.The application system.B.The number of universities.C.The application cost.D.The personal statement.3.What’s special about the application process in Singapore?A.Applicants need to pay a lot.B.It is much simpler than elsewhere.C.It’s no different for native students.D.The competition is even more fierce.2.One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters smoothly except for one. I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!”It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also transl ate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didn’t know, but I knew that one well.A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isn’t that worth something? But for Teacher Liao it d idn’t work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui.“What’s this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed.“Zhe —the zhe in Zhejiang.”“Third tone?”“Fourth tone.”I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory — I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.”It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground.I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, like building my confidence and then breaking down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasn’t the American way; I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didn’t mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you haven’t achieved anything yet.And so I studied. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.1.Which of the following can best replace “whined” in Paragraph 3?A.burst out.B.gave in.C.returned.plained.2.What did the writer expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again?A.Immediate correction.B.A new challenge.C.An encouraging response.D.A strict comment.3.How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching?A.Candy-coated.B.Weakness-focused.C.Interest-driven.D.Criticism-absent.4.What can we infer from the text?A.The writer was struggling with Liao’s teaching.。
