Will Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming?For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century. 36 Since then, British TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4, and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite and cable.A Slow DeclineWhile the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has been slow and has been going on for the past decade. 37 Streaming services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and blockbuster movies.Changing Viewing HabitsIn the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming services than ever before.

This has been the trend for the last couple of decades.B. The original content has included massively popular shows.C. Suddenly, we were able to see what was going on, not just listen along.D. The traditional TV channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.E. Most major TV channels have their own catch up streaming service.Fe While demand for streaming services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall. G.

“I don’t want to see that cat in our yard again,” my husband said as he drove the beautiful cat back into the neighbor’s yard. “Cats aren’t like dogs, honey. They are very ind ependent and tend to move around wherever they please, especially if they are mousing,” I said. “Well, text our neighbor and let her know I don’ I appreciate her cat in our yard,” he insisted. Sighing, I sent off a quick text to our sweet neighbor, Cheryl, informing her of my husband’s dislike of cats. “I’ll do my best,” she replied sometime later, “but it’s kind of hard controlling where she goes when I let her outside.” The following morning, John stood at the picture window in our bedroom. He’d installed it so that I could watch the birds visiting our feeders.“You aren’t going to believe this,” he said. “Come look!” Slowly, I approached the window, praying Cheryl’s cat wasn’t in our yard. “Oh, my God!” I cried. Seated side by side, right in the center of our yard, were two enormous groundhogs (土拨鼠). We’d observed groundhogs before, especially since our back yard backs, up to a wooded area, but never, had they been as brave as these two. John raised the window, and the two raced into the woods. That evening, I happened to glance out the picture window. Then something caught my eye in. the flowerbed beyond. “John, come quick!” Hurriedly, he entered the bedroom just in time to see one of the groundhogs chewing on the flowers we’d planted around the water foun tain. “Why, it’ s eating every single blossom!”Again, John lifted the window, and the groundhog fled into the woods. “Hmmm, I better look up groundhogs on the computer and see just how destructive they can be.” Before he left the room, however, he saw something again. A groundhog was chewing our vegetables in the center of the garden. Across the yard, we’d planted a vegetable garden. We’d taken great pains to enclose the rows and rows of plants in chicken wire.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams. But that should not drive one away from the path that they arc on. Fitting the context perfectly is the story of tan William.Popularly known as the “Social Golfer", Ian William is an accountant, lecturer, author, and a former golf player. He dreamed of playing golf at childhood. He would often observe players playing from a distance. He worked hard and changed his financial limitations. Then he began practicing in various golf matches. Due to his devotion and love for the sport, he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a professional. He also dreamed of participating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coining year.However, in 1996, Ian was diagnosed with a tumor （肿瘤）in the left part of his brain, which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve. He underwent two surgeries in 1997 with a smile and a hope to be cured. Although the surgeries were successful, Ian caught meningitis （脑股炎）while recovering from it. Apart from being hopeful and optimistic, there was no other way Ian could cope with the situation, Just as things had begun to normalize, in 2006, Ian's body was affected by a major stroke （中风）， This stroke numbed the left side of his body. His life-long dream of participating in a golf tournament could not be fulfilled anymore.Ian took his time to recover and came back even stronger. He wanted to inspire millions with his journey and decided to share his experiences through a book. Ian has now published his 3rd book Still Crazy After All These Years in 2020.4.

William showed talent in golf as a child.B. The lack of money prevented him practicing golf at an early age.C. William's road to becoming a professional golfer was smooth.D. Talent and ambition made William learn quickly.6. Which of the following hclps William facc the ilnesss according to the passage?A. Doctors' comfort.B. Family's support.C.

Luck favors rcady minds.CFor many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge （粥） or steamed buns （慢头）.Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calori es that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene arc jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.8. What can we leant about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph!?A. People prefer porridge and steamed buns.B. Cold sandwiches arc a popular choice.C. People avoid western food for breakfast.D. Coffee is a must for many people.9. Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well?A. Because it's newly launched.B. Because it contains more vegetables.C. Because it's traditional.D. Because it's tasty and healthy.10. What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?A. The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.B. Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.C. Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.D. Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.11. What docs the author intend to tell us?A. Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.B. Western breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.C. The Chinese-Western breakfast set is becoming a hit in Shanghai.D. Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.DIn 2019, more than 1.4 million young people around the globe took part in the School Strikes for Climate Action protests that were largely advocated by 17-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The inspirational young Swede, while a media favourite, is far from the first or last young person to fight for a better environmental future.With the rise of social media in recent years, websites such as YouTube provide accessible coverage on ecological matters that quickly gather millions of views, and links to new scientific information arc easily shared between peers. But, it's not just online research that exposes the truth, and it's not a distant threat either. Climate change is happening around us as we speak; an increase of droughts and heatwaves means a loss of crop production and one and a half acres of forest is cut down every second.Of course, just because young people are now readily armed with statistics such as these doesn't mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age, and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a difference can't be made.A study on participants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiations revealed that adults perceived younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of financial incentives （刺激）to be there. Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics, they often say what adults aren't willing to.So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the fixture might depend on young determined voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.12. Why is Greta Thunberg mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To show that the young activists are playing a part.B. To give an introduction to Greta Thunberg.C. To illustrate the seriousness of climate change.D. To arouse readers' interest in environmental protection.13. What does the underlined phrase "write off" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Consider unimportant.B. Take seriously.C. Give up.D. Write down.14. what does paragraph 4 focus on?A. The way young activists work.B. The advantages young activists have.C. The contributions young activists make.D. The views young activists hold.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Greta Thunberg: an outstanding activist.B. Climate change: a matter needing everyone's attention.C. The rise of social media makes ecological matters accessible.D. The young arc making a difference to the environmental future.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled （大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour. 16 The answer is a combination of athletics and science.At the start of a race, the crews push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew members have built up explosive power in their legs. That means doing a lot of jumps, and sprints （冲刺跑）.It also means pushing heavy sleds! The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. 17 The design of the sled's runners （滑板｝ reduces their friction with the ice. 18 They may not melt enough ice fora fast ride. Runners that arc too rounded may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down.19 The rules state that all runners must be made of the same type of steel, and crews may polish them using only approved materials. Before each race, officials check the temperature of the runners. Runners may not be more than a few degrees warmer than the ice. 20But remember the sled must not be too fast ---- the crew still needs to be able to reach the bottom safely.A. Why do people go for the sport?B. Crews polish their runners for a fast ride.C. The riders sit inside a hard shell, called cowling （整流罩）.D. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway?E. A hot runner will melt more ice and may possibly go faster.F. Runners that arc too flat would spread the friction over a wide area.G. All other work goes into keeping other forces from slowing the bobsled down.第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.Devin Hinkston, 30, was driving through the town when he spotted a boy playing basketball in his driveway.

AThe Cool 2022 Travel DestinationsNational Geographic's new list of the most amazing places to visit in 2022, "Best of World 2022" is an inviting mixture of global destinations that will inspire your appetite for travel in the New Year.NatureOur global editors picked the planet's 25 most exciting destinations for 2022!

This city, famous for its colorful buildings, plans to use its year to bring people a sense of community. Its year-long festival aims to encourage responsible travel throughout the year, and to avoid a crowd of visitors during the summer as happened in the past.FamilyThe best places for families include astonishing settings in the US and further away. One of these is Granada in Spain.At this palace, kids of all ages and their parents can appreciate the unique patterns and designs that promise “A colorful classroom for age-appropriate exploration of math concepts such as shapes, proportion (比例）,and measurement”.1.

Family.BWhen the disease first hit, nursing homes across the United States tried to proteet the neighbors. They shuttheir doors and banned visitors, leaving seniors separated from the outside world.16-year-old Hita Gupta thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors and remind them of how much they're loved, she began delivering care packages to nursing homes in her town of Paoli, Pennsylvania.“When I received a call from the nursing home, I knew I needed to remind them that they aren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that," Hita said.The teenager's efforts are a part of her non-profit organization Brighten A Day, which she organized in 2018to "spread joy to seniors, children in the hospital, and frontline workers."With the help of her 10-year-old brother, Divit Gupta, she has sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages - complete with puzzles, coloring books, and colored pencils - to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada.“The response has been so incredible," Hita said. “A lot of the seniors cry when they open the packages and read our notes. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."Many of the notes are written by Brighten A Day volunteers, who also make videos where they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. The pair and their volunteers call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.“No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas and delivering them to us across the country, but Hita found a way. Seniors do not feel forgotten or alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and gratitude knowing that someone out there is caring for them," a volunteer said.“What we do is to give hope and reminders that there were people out there that truly cared about them and their wellbeing," Hita said. "Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."4. How did the seniors in nursing homes feel when visitors were not allowed in?A. Quiet.B. Delighted.C. Comfortable.D. Lonely.5. What is the main aim of Hita's Brighten A Day project?A. To raise more money for nursing homes.B. To deliver love to seniors at nursing homes.C. To teach seniors to communicate effectively.D. To promote the development of the nursing industry.6. What can we learm about the Brighten A Day project?A. It offers its volunteers the special packages.B. It encourages seniors to use fewer smart devices.C. It is supported by volunteers across the country.D. It was started during the disease first hitting this area.7. Which of the following words can best describe Hita Gupta?A. Caring.B. Curious.C. Faithful.D. Professional.CWhat makes you happy? You may want to answer that spending time with your family, taking a vacation or driving a new sports car makes you happy but the key to happiness may be altruism(利他行为).Helping others may actually increase your happiness.According to Time Magazine, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested that true happiness is found in helping others and now there is scientific research from a team of psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia to prove it.The researchers led by Liudmila Titova and Kennon Sheldon looked at whether pursuing happiness for others will actually make people happier. They found that it does.Two experiments were conducted by the team, according to Psychology Today. In the first experiment there searchers asked participants to recall a time that they tried to make themselves or another person happy. They were asked to write about the event and rate how happy it made them feel.In the second experiment, they were asked to remember a time they tried to make someone else happy and also write about how it made them feel. This experiment elicited a higher rate of happiness than the first."The results of these studies extend findings from previous research by showing that people gain more personal happiness from attempts to make other people happy- an approach that might seem unbelievable for a lot of people at first," researchers wrote in the study.But how does the research translate into real life? According to Time Magazine, find your passion. Give it to people or causes that move you and share your values. Whatever you do, the key is to finding an approach that works for you and let it come naturally. Remember that improving happiness is a benefit of helping others and not the goal.8. What makes people happy according to the first paragraph?A. Driving a new sports car.B. Travelling during a vacation.C. Offering generosity to others.D. Spending time with their family.9. How did the researchers prove their findings?A. By using examples.B. By making experiments.C. By clarifying a concept.D. By demonstrating facts.10. What does the underlined word "elicit" mean in paragraph 5?A. Produce.B. Improve.C. Display.D. Discover.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Pursuing Happiness for Others CountsB. Sharing Your Values Will Make SenseC. Improving Happiness Benefits You MuchD. Helping Others Can Improve HappinessDA. green sea turtle(海龟)struggled to move in the cold water off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.7hißwater was normally warm, but an extreme cold front from the Arctic swept the area, dropping the airf emiperature below freezing. The cold-blooded sea turtle became almost frozen: Its body stopped moving, and it couldn't get a breath of air. Without help, these sea turtles would have died underwater.A conservation group on South Padre Island was ready to help. On the first day of the storm, staff and volunteers from Sea Turtle, Inc., headed out on boats to rescue the sea turtles. They loaded them onto trucks and transported them to the organization's rescue center.The group usually rescued only about a hundred turtles on days when the weather briefly got cold. But this February storm was different: By the second day, volunteers had already pulled more than 600 frozen sea turtles from the water.Over the next five days, new sea turtles arrived during the daytime. At night, the volunteers wore headbands with flashlights to provide medical care in the dark building. They tried to keep the sea turtles clean while they were out of the water.Eight days after the storm began, the water was finally warm enough to release the sea turtles. About 30miles offshore, the boat stopped, and the workers put over 2,300 sea turtles back into the ocean.If the workers and volunteers hadn't rescued these sea turtles, none of them would have survived. “We were up all night, every night, and the release was exhausting, too," a volunteer said. "But it was worth it to watch those sea turtles go down the slides back where they belong."12. Why did the green sea turtles struggle to move in the water?A. They were about to sleep in winter.B.
