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

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

The killdeer, a small bird known for its high-pitched ( 声调高的) call, could lead to the cancellation of one of Canada’ biggest music festivals.The first hint of trouble for Ottawa’s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draw s around 300,000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds.It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. “This is one of the most challenging problems we’ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this,” said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival.“Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so we’re taking it very seriously.” The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in.“We don’t know when the eggs might hatch,” said Monahan. What is known is that the youngkilldeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so.The festival is now seeking permission from Environment Canada to relocate the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center.Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festival’s 11-day run, said Monahan. It’s highly likely that the festival’s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs.Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as planned, however.“Most of the people we’re working with are looking for a positive solution,” Monahan said. “There is no one saying that the festival can’t go on.”As news of the dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned.Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy.The killdeer’s tendency to build its nest in open fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction on a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered.【小题1】What can we learn about Bluesfest? A．It is the first music festival in Canada.B．It is an important event for music lovers.C．It is a music festival held every two years.D．It is a challenging outdoor activity in Ottawa.【小题2】What was especially challenging for Bluesfest this year? A．Pressure from the government.B．Disagreements with the public.C．The need to protect the bird’s eggs.D．The lack of experience in hosting the event.【小题3】How did the festival plan to deal with the problem?A．Move the nest to another place.B．Ask government officials for help.C．Seek advice from environmentalists.D．Hire security guards to protect the eggs.【小题4】What was Monahan’s attitude toward hosting the festival? A．Negative.B．Positive.C．Unsure.D．Indifferent.【小题5】The underlined word “dilemma” is closest in meaning to “ ”. A．a difficult situationB．an extreme situationC．a dangerous situationD．an encouraging situation(★★★★★)19 . Professor Stephen Hawking recently came out with a serious warning for people. While at the Starmus Festival, a festival in Trondheim, Norway, celebrating science and the arts, Hawking warned people that the human race is in serious danger.Hawking criticized President Donald Trump for denying climate change. Then the physicist warned the audience, “I am not denying the importance of fighting climate change and global warming, unlike Donald Trump, who may just have taken the most serious, and wrong, decision on climate change this world has seen.”Hawking proposed that the leading countries should send astronauts to the Moon before 2020 to restart a movement of more exploration in space. BBC reported that Hawking suggested that we “build a lunar base in 30 years’ time and send people to Mars by 2025.”According to BBC, Professor Hawking said, “Spreading out into space will completely change the future of humanity.” He continued, “I hope it would unite competitive nations in a single goal, to face the common challenge for us all.” The physicist shared more ideas to motivate the younger generation to continue exploring space. Hawking stated, “a new and ambitious space program would excite (young people), and stimulate interest in other areas, such as astrophysics and cosmology.”Hawking also revealed his vision for other forms of energy that could move us to a new planet. He warned the audience, “The Earth is under t hreat from so many areas that it is difficult for me to be positive.” He continued, “Our natural resources are being drained, at an alarming rate. We have given our planet the disastrous gifts of climate change, rising temperatures, reduction of the polar ice caps, deforestation, and decimation (大量毁灭) of animal species. We can be ignorant, unthinking lot (人).”The professor warned the audience that doing nothing would lead nowhere. He said, “If we succeed, we will send a probe (航天探测器) to Alpha Centauri within the lifetime of some of you alive today. It is clear we are entering a new space age. We are standing at the threshold (起点) of a new era. Human colonization and moving to other planets is no longer science fiction, and it can be science fact.” Haw king advised the audience to move to other worlds because we are running out of space.【小题1】According to Hawking, what is the first step for humans to spread out into space? A．To build a lunar base.B．To send people to Mars.C．To send astronauts to the Moon.D．To change the future of humanity.【小题2】What does the underlined phrase “a single goal” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

Smartphones are our constant companions. For many of us, their glowing screens are a ubiquitous (十分普遍的) presence, drawing us in with endless distractions. They are in our hands as soon as we wake, and command our attention until the final moments before we fall asleep.Steve Jobs would not approve.In 2007, Jobs took the stage and introduced the world to the iPhone. If you watch the full speech, you will be surprised by how he imagined our relationship should be with this iconic invention. This vision is so different from the way most of us use these devices now.In his remarks, Jobs spent an extended amount of time demonstrating how the device utilized (应用) the touch screen before detailing the many ways Apple engineers had improved the age-old process of making phone calls. It’s the best iPod we’ve ever made,” Job s exclaimed at one point. “The killer app is making calls,” he later added. Both lines drew thunderous applause.The presentation confirms that Jobs imagined a simpler iPhone experience than the one we actually have more than a decade later. For example, there was no App Store when the iPhone was first introduced, and this was by design. Jobs was convinced that the phone’s carefully-designed native features were enough. He did not seek to completely change the rhythm of users’ daily lives. He simply w anted to take experiences we had already found important－listening to music, placing calls, generating directions－and make them better.The minimalist (简约主义者) vision for the iPhone Jobs offered in 2007 is unrecognizable today－and that is a shame.Under what I call the “constant companion model,” we now see our smartphones as always-on portals (通道) to information. We have become so used to it over the past decade that it is easy to forget the novelty (新奇之处) of the device. It seems increasingly clear to me that Jobs probably got it right from the very beginning: Many of us would be better-off returning to his original minimalist vision for our phones.Practically speaking, to be a minimalist smartphone user means only using your device for a small number of features that do things of value to you. Otherwise, you simply put it away outside of these activities. This approach dethrones (废黜) this device from the position of a constant companion down to a luxury object, such as a fancy bike, that gives you great pleasure when you use it but does not dominate your entire day.Early in his 2007 keynote, Jobs said, “Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone.” What he didn’t add, however, was the follow-up promise: “Tomorrow we’re going to reinvent your life.” The smartphone is fantastic, but it was never meant to be the foundation for a new form of existence.If you return this innovation to its original role, you will get more out of both your phone and your life.【小题1】The underl ined word “it” in the last but two paragraphs probably refers to . A．information B．the smartphoneC．the always-on portal D．the constant companion model【小题2】According to Steve Jobs, what was the main selling point of Apple’s first iPhone? A．It allowed the users to have access to the internet.B．It was actually an iPod that could make phone calls.C．It was installed with applications by third-party developers.D．It could fulfill people’s desire to multitask in their daily lives.【小题3】According to the article, a minimalist smartphone user tends to .A．expect to reinvent his life with the deviceB．buy the latest model of iPhone and see it as a luxuryC．remove all the unnecessary applications from the deviceD．spend more time working than playing with his device【小题4】The author’s purpose in writing the article is to . A．tell readers why Steve Job created the iPhoneB．remind readers not to be addicted to their smartphonesC．show readers that smartphones can greatly change our livesD．encourage readers to block internet access on their smartphones四、阅读表达(★) 21 . 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Strength．B. Exactness．C. Speed．D. Carefulness．19.What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman？______A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman．B. The percentage of serious accidents is high．C. Parachutes must be of good quality．D. The cliff is too high．BThe iPhone the iPad：each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad（一时的风尚）．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-used the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called "iTeddy"．A slimmed-down version（简装本）of London's Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name "i"．In general，single-letter prefixes（前缀）have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's "i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i" Why not use "a"，"b"，or "c" instead？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous．When Apple uses "i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or intcractive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn't have one clear definition，" he says．"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now connected with portability．" adds Thorne．Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason．Along with"Google" and "blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．But as history shows，people grow tired of fads．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with "2000" in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern．How ever，as we entered the new century，the fashion disappeared．20.People use iPlayer to ______ ．A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers21.We can infer that the Independent's "i" is designed for ______ ．A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers22.The underlined word "ambiguous" means " ______ ．"A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique23.The writer suggests that ______ ．A. "i" products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the productsD. the popularity of "i" products may not last longCZoe Chambers was a successful PR （Public Relations）consultant （顾问）and life was going well-she had a great job，a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London．Then one evening in June last year，she received a text message telling her she was out of work．The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through．" she said．"After everything I'd done for thecompany，they dismissed me by text!I was So angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job．I hated everything about the city and my life．"Then，Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend，Kathy，to come and stay．Kathy and her husband，Huw，had just bought a farm in north-west Wales．Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London，and now，ten months later，she is still on the farm．"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm，I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay．" said Zoe．" Everything aboutmy past life suddenly seemed meaningless．"Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets．"It's a hard life，physically very tiring．" she says．"In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted．But this is a good，healthy tiredness．Here，all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners．"Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm．Every day brings a new experience．Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor．Since Christmas，she has been helping with the lambing--watching a lamb being born is unbelievable，she says，"It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had．I could never go back to city life now．"24.When working as a PR consultant in London，Zoe thought she lived a ______ life．A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring25.The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that ______ ．A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultantB. Kathy persuaded her to do soC. Zoe got tired of the city lifeD. Zoe loved Wales mare than London26.How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage？______A. Tiresome and troublesome．B. Romantic and peacefulC. Mentally exhausting but healthyD.

A misfortune may turn out a blessing．D. Kill two birds with one stone．DMy grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States．The rest of his family remained in Europe．When World War I broke out，he seemed to have become another man，downhearted．Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare，but out of fear：if his only son，my uncle，had to go to war，it would be cousin fighting against cousin．One day in 1918，my Uncle Milton received his draft notice．My grandparents were very upset．But my mother，at the age of 10，felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war．Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends，my uncle bought them all service pins，which meant that they had a loved one in the service．All the little girls were delighted．The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers，without any training but all inuniforms，boarded the train．"The band played and the crowd cheered．Although no one noticed，I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son．The train slowly pulled out，but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused．Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station．There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out．Someone shouted，"The war is over!"For a moment，nobody moved，but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers．The men lined up in two lines，walked down the steps，and with the band playing，marched down the street，as returning heroes，to be welcomed home．My mother said it was a great day，but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer．28.What the grandfather was most worried about was ______ ．A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killing each other29..
