In front of her ,1 asked why and then told her to find a picture on the Internet that she could show to a hairdresser.And then I went to the shower and cried. I cried not because she wanted to cut her long hair, but because she wanted to “cut it all off like a boy”. For some reason，that was the straw (稻草)that broke the dam.Emma hasn’t worn dresses since she was two. She hates them. Now, at ten, she’s usually wearing mesh(网状）shorts and a packers T-shirt or jersey(运动衫)一or something old and stained and acquired for free. When she’s “dressing up” she wears skinny jeans and a plaid(格子图案的)button-down with her black and green Converse high-tops.I admit her fashion sense has always made me a little sad. When I found out I was having a girl, I ran home and painted the nursery two shades of pink while fantasies of girls’ weekends and shopping trips were dancing in my head .I’d teac h her how to do her hair and paint her nails. I couldn’t wait to start the journey with my very own mini-me. But it turns out you don’t give birth to dolls, and ins tead of a mini-me. I got a completely separate and independent human being with ideas and dreams of her own. And yes, that made me a little sad.It also makes me extremely proud, although I’ve fought hard against the label tomboy(假小子). I’ve always been in the pride of my daughter’s strong sense of self and amazed at how early it developed. 6tShe9s been refusing dresses since before she could speak!”4.

Many plants in the wild are edible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you findcan be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poiso ned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling(刺痛)，or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal(活性炭）is available，take that with the water.8. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1?A. Suitable for using as food.B. Widely spread.C. Existing in large quantities.D. Not widely known.9. What can we know from paragraph 2?A. Planning is unnecessary when using the method.B. Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally.C. Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants.D. Following the method perfectly can ensure safety.10. Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips⑤ swallow it,A .③④②①⑤ B.④③②①⑤ C.③④②⑤① D.④③②⑤①11. Where might the passage come from?A. A student’s diary.B. A science report.C. A guide book for camping.D. A docto r’ s notebook.DDo you know that nearly every home in America contains a microwave? While microwaves make meals for busy people in several seconds, is microwaving food bad for you? Over the years，this standard household appliance(家用电器）has caused much discussion. Some argue microwaves kill nutrients in your food. Is that really true?In reality, anytime food is exposed to heat, nutrients like vitamin C and some antioxidants (抗氧化剂) can be lost. But this applies to cooking in general, not just when you’re usi ng microwave. As is reported by WHO (World Health Organization), microwaving your food is a safe way to prepare it and it keeps the same level of nutrients as when you cook on a stove top or in the oven(烤箱).When microwaving thicker food like meat products, WHO provides the following suggestions to ensure safe cooking methods: Cooking time will vary depending on the food itself and the power of the microwave, and will also be affected by the density of the item you are heating. Since microwave heating doesn’t evenly(均匀地)go into thick food items, meat that’s not thoroughly cooked may contain harmful microorganisms that make you sick. T o kill harmful bacteria when cooking in the microwave, WHO suggests letting your food “rest” for several minutes after you finish warming it to allow the heat to give off throughout the item.If you9re thinking about microwaving your vegetables, Harvard Health Publishing suggests heating your food rapidly, in the shortest amount of time, and as little amount of water as possible. 6tAs far as vegetables are concerned, cooking them in water robs them of some of their nutritional value because the nutrients run out into the cooking water," states the report.12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To attract readers’ interest.B. To summarize the whole passage.C. To describe a memorable experience.D. To introduce the topic of the passage.13. What will happen if you cook food in a microwave?A. It will cause certain loss of some nutrients.B. It only breaks the Vitamin C in the vegetables.C. It will affect the flavor of the food.D. It makes food unsafe to be eaten in general.14. Which can be ignored when setting the cooking time?A. The size of the food to be cooked.B. The density of the food to be cooked.C. The power of the microwave used.D. The temperature of the surroundings.15. How should you microwave vegetables?A. Enough water is needed to wash off the bad bacteria.B. Use as little time as possible to lock the nutrients.C. Cut them into small pieces before putting them in.D. Let them “rest” for several minutes after warming.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。

"It made me tough,and then also I think it really taught me to expect the unexpected and go along for the ride."Arceneaux wants to show her young patients and other cancer survivors that "the sky is not even the limit anymore." "It's going to mean so much to these kids to see a survivor in space," she said.Isaacman announced his space flight on February 1，promising to raise ﹩200 million for St.Jude.He will provide half of the amount himself.As the flight's self-appointed commander,he offered one of the four seats aboard SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft to St.Jude.The hospital chose Arceneaux from among its many workers who had once been patients.The idea was that one of them could represent the new generation,noted Rick Shadyac,president of St.Jude's financing organization.A lifelong space fan who loves adventures,Arceneaux has traveled widely and loves rollercoasters.Isaacman,who flies fighter airplanes for fun,considers her a perfect fit.The launch is planned for this fall at NASA's Kennedy Space Center,with the spacecraft orbiting Earth for two to four days.4.How old was Sally Ride probably when she was first in space？______A. 12.B. 27.C. 29.D. 32.5.What do we know about Arceneaux？______A.

She can stand for the new generation.CPoaching（偷猎）and habitat loss have threatened Africa's two species of elephants,taking them closer toward the edge of extinction,according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN）.Before this update,Africa 's elephants were grouped together and were evaluated as vulnerable （脆弱的）by the IUCN.This is the first time the two species have been classified separately.In the past,elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants.Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered.The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31-year assessment period.The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years,according to the IUCN，which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals.Africa currently has an estimated 415，000 elephants,counting the two species together. Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because ofpoaching.Although it peaked in 2011，illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations.African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land is converted for agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news,the IUCN points out.Anti-poaching measures,combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships,have helped conservation efforts.Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed are as in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing,particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with persistent demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands,concern for Africa's elephants is high,and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is severer than ever.8.Which of the following can describe African forest elephants？______A. Their situation is even worse.B. They are divided into two kinds.C. They're under threat due to poaching only.D. Their population has grown in Gabon.9.What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______A. Expanded.B. Accumulated.C. Transformed.D. Classified.10.What's the author's attitude to the present situation of African elephants？______A. Uninterested.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Worried.11.What's the main idea of the text？______A. Poaching and habitat loss will make elephants extinct.B. Both of Africa's elephant species are now endangered.C. More and more African elephants are being illegally hunted.D. More measures should be taken to protect African elephants.DA Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites.The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe.The 30-kilogram robot,called NEO-01，was developed by Origin Space.Founded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub Shenzhen,Origin Space has been dedicated to exploring and using space resources,according to the company.The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids（小行星）.The world's first asteroid mining company,Planetary Resources,was established in 2009.Since then,more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry,including 3 D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale.Astroscale's technology uses magnets（磁铁）to gather up space waste.But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then burn it.Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide.As they are used for too long,many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space.He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045.Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype（雏形）of future space mining robots,which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collect materials.China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids.The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.12.What can we know about NEO-01？______A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after accomplishing its mission.D.

According to a recent study, led by Evan Forman, a psychology professor from Drexel University, a smartphone app called OnTrack can predict ahead of time when users are likely to lapse （放弃）in their weight loss plans and help them stay on track.People on weight loss plans often experience lapses, which can prevent successful weight loss or even lead to weight regain, according to Forman. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the app among weight loss program participants and individuals attempting to follow an online weight management plan from Weight Watchers for eight weeks.OnTrack uses advanced statistical methods---machine learning— to learn over time auser’s individual patterns of eating. Specifically , it learns patterns that are predictive of staying on one's weight loss plan and patterns that are predictive o£ lapsing from one's plan. When the app detects the risk of lapsing is high, it sends a special coaching message that matches the reasons someone is at risk. For example, the app can predict a person is eating late at night because of being bored at home with tempting （诱人的）food. The predictions get better over time as the app learns a user's behavioral patterns.According to Forman, over the course of the study, participants averaged a3. 13 percent weight loss and reduction in unplanned lapses. The next step is clinical（临床）trial to confirm the apps ability as a weight loss tool.28. What is OnTrack used to do?A. To keep track of phones.B. To plan route for its users.C. To predict possible mental disease.D. To help stick to weight loss plans.29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The basic principles of OnTrack.B. The main patterns of healthyeating.C. The importance of weight loss plans.D. The development of machinelearning.30. Which of the following would Forman agree with?A. OnTrack may have side effects.B. OnTrack is popular among young people.C. OnTrack does very well in predicting lapses.D. OnTrack is a clinically proven weight loss tool.31. Why does the author write the text?A. To give tips on losing weight.B. To introduce a smartphone app.C. To analyze what leads to lapses.D. To encourage people to keep fit.DFathers in France will now get double the paid paternity leave (产假)，President Emmanuel Macron announced this week. Starting next summer, dads will receive 28 days paid leave. When a baby arrives in theworld, there is no reason it should be just the mother who takes ('are of it, Macron said in the announcement.It stands in sharp contrast to thedirestate of paternity leave in the US, where there is no federal paid parental leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act grants (准予)some mothers and fathers the ability to lake 12 weeks unpaid leave and return to a protected job, depending on the size and type of the company. But the law leaves many parents at the mercy of the state in which they live (only three, California, New Jersey. and Rhode Island, grant paid leave) or their employers' individual plans.According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, only 9 percent of US companies offer paid paternity leave to all male employees. Some companies offer more paid leave for mothers and less for fathers, essentially ensuring that taking care of a new child is a woman's responsibility.Even when paternity leave is an option, many fathers don't take it, due to fear of losing their standing - or, even worse, their job. In fact, 76 percent of fathers are back to work within a week after the birth or adoption of a child.Studies have shown that paternity leavecan set the tone for fathers' long-term relationships with their children and families. Children whose fathers took at least two weeks of paternity leave reported feeling closer to their dads even nine years later, according to a joint study of sociology professors at Ball State University and Ohio State University, which also found that paternity leave is linked to lower divorce rates. In Europe, data found that fath ers are “more likely to remain involved in parenting and to equally divide household chores with their partners if they take time off after their children arrive".32. How long can French fathers rest before announcement?A. 28 days.B. 14 days.C. 12 weeks.D. 4 weeks.33. What does the underlined word "dire" mean in the second paragraph?A. Horrible.B. Wonderful.C. Acceptable.D. Positive.34. Why do some American Lit hers choose not to take the paternity leave?A. They may take the risk of being unemployed.B. It's women's duty to look after the new born child.C. Their companies don't have the right to let fathers take it.D. They are unwilling to accompany their wives and children.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Changes of the relationship of the family.B. A science report made by sociology professors.C. Some advantages of fathers' taking paternity leave.D. The benefits of fathers' sharing household chores.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，选项中有两项为多余。

AWhen Boris left school， he could not find a job。

He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence， then depressed。

Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.“Why don’t you start your own business？” one of his uncles told him。

“The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it。

”“But what can I do?”“Get out and have a look round。

” advised his uncle. “See what people want； then give it to them, and they will pay for it。

”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end。

Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame.A few months later， he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself。

An official document.CThe dancer put a cardigan sweater over her leotard.Then she sat down to eat asandwich.Cardigan,leotard,sandwich-where did these words come from？Did you know that each of them was a person's name？Words that come from proper names are called eponyms（名祖名词），and there are many eponyms in English.The sandwich,for example,was named for John Montagu,the Earl（伯爵）of Sandwich.He lived from 1718-1792.He loved to play cards and did not want to stop a game even to eat.By putting cold meat between two pieces of bread,he could eat while he played.The cardigan sweater was named for an officer in the British army.In the 1800s,James Thomas Brudenell,the Earl of Cardigan,spent his own money to buy special knitted（针织的）jackets for the men in his army.Knitted jackets with buttons soon came to be called cardigans.Jules Leotard was a French circus performer.In 1859，at the age of twenty-one,Leotard performed the first mid-air somersault（空翻）.He became known as the daring young man on the flying trapeze（吊杠）Leotard invented a close-fitting one-piece suit to wear when he performed.Dancers still call their close-fitting garments leotards.Another person who gave her name to a style of clothing was Amelia Bloomer.Bloomer was the editor of a magazine called The Lily.A men can woman in her day were expected to wear heavy skirts that dragged on the floor.In 1851，a young woman named Elizabeth Smith Miller introduced a new kind of clothing that was much easier to move around in.She wore a dress that came only to the knees.Under it she wore loose pants that fitted close at the ankles.Amelia Bloomer published a picture of the outfit（全套服装）in the Lily.She hoped women would adopt the new style.In news stories,reporters called the pants "bloomers".A hundred years later,people were still using the word.There are many other words that come from people's names.The diesel engine was named for its inventor,Rudolf Diesel.The word boycott comes from the name of an English landlord named Charles Boycott.Where each word came from is a story in itself.Who knows,maybe your name will become a word someday.8.Why did the Earl of Sandwich invent the "sandwich"？______A. He found it boring to play cards.B. He preferred to eat meat and bread.C. He wanted to create a new kind of food.D. He could eat while playing cards without stopping the game.9.According to the text,what do "bloomers" refer to？______A. Loose dresses.B. Loose pants worn under a dress.C.

Words that come from people's names.C. The history of garments development.D. The unknown stories behind English words.DA team of researchers led by engineers from Penn State University has created the first material that heals itself in the presence of water,according to a study published in Scientific Reports.The material,inspired by squid（鱿鱼）teeth,could be used to repair instruments in water-filled environments that are difficult to access,such as the human body,or the bottom of the sea.The researchers had been studying squids' ring teeth,which are uniquely strong and can change state from liquid to solid in the presence of water.After testing ring teeth samples from several species of squid found all over the world,the researchers uncovered the genetic code for the proteins（蛋白质）that allow the teeth to heal themselves when broken.They then changed the genetic structure of bacteria to produce the proteins so they could conduct more tests.The researchers then made the proteins into a rubbery plastic by mixing them with a solvent（溶剂）and letting the solvent change into a gas.The resulting material combines a soft,shapeless part of the protein that gives the plastic its self-healing characteristics and a more structured sheet of amino acids（氨基酸）that give it a solid structure.To test the material's strength,the researchers cut it,and then put the two pieces back together with a drop of water.They found that the material healed best at 113 degrees Fahrenheit,a little warmer than the temperature of the human body,and with slight pressure from a metal tool.The material was just as strong,and able to hold the same amount of weight,before and after it was cut.Material that heals itself in the presence of water could expand the usability of biomedical implants（移植）.Of course,this material is nowhere near ready for that application,and the researchers didn't test whether the constant presence of water degrades（降低）the plastic's ability to heal itself.The researchers next plan to study how their technology could help heal wounds.12.According to paragraph 3，the rubbery plastic become self-healing in combination with______ .A. amino acidsB. another kind of rubberC. a mixture of gasesD. some protein13.In paragraph 4，the researchers carried out a test to check whether the material ______ .A. was fit for human bodyB. would melt at high temperaturesC. could be connected with the metalD. would recover its original strength after healing itself14.What is the authors attitude towards the self-healing material？______A. Positive.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Critical.15.What is the main idea of the text？______A. A kind of self-healing teeth was made from squids' ring teeth.B. The genetic code of squids' special teeth has been uncovered.C. Super-strong material inspired by squid teeth is self-healing.D. A special rubbery plastic is used to replace squids' teeth.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Imagine going to the doctor to get treatment for a terrible fever. (1) .The robot detects（检测）the cause of your fever,travels to the appropriate system and provides medication directly to the infected area.(2) .They're called nanorobots（纳米机器人）and engineering teams around the world are working to design robots that will eventually be used to treat everything from fever to cancer. In recent years researchers have been building nanorobots out of a familiar material - the same stuff that makes human life possible. (3) .DNA is literally all around（and in）you - you just can't see it.If you were to look inside almost any cell inside any living creature,you would find DNA.This might sound surprising-especially since these nanorobots don't need batteries or anypower source.Instead,they work by using the natural structure of DNA.These nanorobots "crawl" on DNA.Sometimes researchers refer to these things as DNA "spiders". (4) .A nanorobot could,perhaps,destroy just a cancerous cell,for example,but leave healthy cells alone.(5) .But the future is bright for DNA-built nanorobots.One day,perhaps DNA-made machines will swim around in the human body,delivering medicine to diseased cells or helping doctors diagnose problems.Or maybe they'll help build the smallest computers the world has ever seen.A.These nanorobots are made of DNA.B.Nanorobots made from DNA aren't useful yet.C.In other words,the DNA nanorobot destroys the track as it goes.D.This description will give you a simple picture of the legs of a DNA nanorobot.E.Being able to make such a tiny thing move in a certain way might be useful for health.F.Instead of giving you a pill or a shot,the doctor puts a tiny robot into your bloodstream.G.In fact,we're not that far off from seeing devices like this actually used in medical procedures.16.

Sensing an opportunity, she decided to combine the two.In 2015, she and her two friends, Khoa Tran and Kelly Montgomery, founded an online publishing company called JKX Comics. They decided to use a cartoon format and light humor to explain science to students. Their first comic book came out in 2016.In the book, a virus goes out with friends to a human cell. The colorful visuals help illustrate the science, explains Train. Through comics, his JKX coworkers hope to inspire the next generation to pursue STEM. STEM is short for science, technology, engineering and math.A lot of research has suggested that comic books can introduce a variety of people to science subjects. Comics can also make information more accessible. Text, pictures and stories can help people understand scientific ideas more easily.Their latest comic is called "Gilbert's Glitch Switch." It is about a biochemist named Gilbert who gets sucked into a video game. Gilbert uses amino acids to get proteins to communicate with each other. Proteins are an essential part of all living organisms. They form the basis of living cells, muscle and tissues; they also do the work inside of cells.By understanding how proteins communicate, scientists can learn how to modifythem to interact better. Certain diseases develop when proteins communicate incorrectly. Alzheimer's, a disorder that causes brain cells to die, is one example.Translating a complex science topic into a comic can be challenging. The creators have to not only be accurate but also tell a story that interests readers. The aat1.ors hope to spark readers' curiosity.There's a lot of misinformation circulating around the internet. Some of it "scares people away from science," Montgomery says. The goal of the new comics is to "limit some of those misunderstandings," she adds.24. What caused Jaye Gardiner and her friends to create JKX Comics?A. Their love of comics and the difficulty of explaining science to students.B.

Jaye Gardiner and Her Friends who Began JKX ComicsCMany people who live on Norway's far-northern island of Sommaroey are campaigning to go "time-free". They note that between May and July, the sun does not set there for 69 days.To enjoy the bright summer months, they would like to ignore traditional business hours. For example, stores would be open when people are there to work at them. Schools would operate when teachers and students are ready. Kjell Ove Hveding is one of the local leaders of the campaign. He said the 350 people who live on the island already go mostly time-free. He said that in the summer at 2 in the morning, you might see "children playing soccer, people painting their houses or mowing their lawns, and teens going for a swim".To show their feelings about time, many islanders take off their watches. They leave them on a bridge that connects the island to the mainland.Earlier this month, Hveding met with a Norwegian lawmaker. Hveding presented a formal request signed by people who live on the island. The request asked the government to declare the area a "time-free zone".Hveding noted that he understands going completely time-free would be too complex in a world that operates on schedules. And, as an article in the Smithsonian magazine says, people's health depends on keeping a usual rhythm of being asleep and being awake.But Hveding argues that letting go of time limits can also be good for people. He said the time-free proposal would permit the islanders to get used to the daylight and feel calmer. "The idea is also to chill out," he said, "I have seen people suffering from stress because they were pressed by time."28. Paragraph 2 is mainly about people's ways to .A. work during summer.B. spend business hours.C. enjoy time-free months.D. entertain during summer.29. What do we know about the formal request presented by Hveding?A. It was put forward by a lawmaker.B. It was approved by the islanders.C. It was rejected by the government.D. It was about a "trade-free zone".30. Why does the author mention Hveding's opinion in the last paragraph?A. To prove going time-free would be beneficial to the islanders.B. To show the article's view in the magazine is wrong.C. To introduce the lifestyle of the islanders.D. To present people's suffering from time pressure.31. Where is this text most likely from?A. A news report.B. A geography book.C. A health magazine.D. A travel brochure.DTo someone stuck in a traffic jam, the ability to soar(高飞)right over other cars seems like a dream. Inventors and businessmen tried to make flying cars, but have never been able to. That may be changing. Many companies are competing to be the first to develop a flying car.One of the ideas being developed is a car with wings that unfold for flight. But most are more like helicopters instead of cars and they are operated by a battery-powered motor. Still, some companies are moving forward. They see a need for "air taxis", especially as cities grow more congested. These taxis would send passengers to the rooftops of office buildings during rush hours.Charles Eastlake is a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He says advances in technology have opened the door to a whole new world of flying machines. But he also expresses some hesitancy, "It's possible that people actually use self-flying air taxis in the next 10 or 15 years. But the challenges are big."The key will be making longer-lasting batteries. Batteries now could keep an air taxi in the sky for about 15 to 30 minutes. Depending on how fast it flies, that probably isn't enough time to transport passengers. Companies will also have to get permission from the government. The government office in charge of flying says further study is needed on flying cars. It thinks the ideas being worked on are good ones, but they must be safe. Reducing noise is another challenge because air taxis will be taking off and landing in areas with a lot of people. Creating enough landing pads to deal with many flying cars at the same time is also a challenge.Though there are so many challenges for humans to deal with, inventors and businessmen think their dream of making flying cars will come true soon.32. What do we know about flying cars now?A. They can fly as fast as helicopters.B. They mainly depend on the sunlight.C. They resemble helicopters very much.D. They can fold their wings easily.33. What does the underlined word "congested" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Crowded.B. Developed.C. Modern.D. Convenient.34. What can we infer from Charles Eastlake's words?A. He will devote himself to designing flying machines.B. He supposes that making flying cars is beyond his power.,C. He still has confidence in making flying cars into reality.D. He advises to apply the advanced technology to flying cars.35. The challenges of making flying cars are mentioned to show .A. making flying cars is only a dreamB. safety is of importance to flying carsC. there is a long way to make real flying carsD. noise is the biggest problem 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。

ADoes it seem like hotel costs just go up and up? It's true that they rise each year, sometimes significantly. When determining which hotel has the best deal, you don't just want to look at the nightly price anymore. There are so many other factors to consider to help you save money, both before you book and during your stay. Here are some tips to help you make the best decision.Go out to eatThough room service sounds really appealing, prices for food on the menu can be twice as much as you would pay for the same 1议xl at a restaurant. Tips are always included in the bill and usually masked as a delivery charge. Most guests don't know this and add a tip to the bill when the waiter brings their food.Ask for a corner roomThough this won't technically save you any money, corner rooms are usually a bit larger than regular rooms, which give you a better deal for your money. Once you check in, ask if one of these rooms is available. This is easier if you show up close to check-in time, but before the flood of guests show up to get their keys. You can also call ahead and request a corner room with your existing reservation.Bring your own snacksAnything is better than the rates for items in the mini bar. The prices are horrible and don't even think about trying to replace it with the same item later.Avoid the weekendHotels in popular destinations regularly raise their rates on Fridays and Saturdays. In some cases, it can be as much as three times more than Sunday through Thursday nights.21. What is the aim of this text?A. How to save money.B. How to decrease the tips.C.

She ran out of the apartment, took an elevator, went down to the hall, avoided the doorman and then made her way outside, where she ran across the West Side Highway and down into the Chambers Street subway station.Lucy then spent hours wandering the tracks along the I train line, hiding under trains and walking on the platform edge as she made her way uptown on her daylong underground adventure.Bonilla, a transit worker in the Chambers Street subway station, said Saturday started like any other Saturday, but when he reported for duty at 2 p. m. he was immediately informed of the situation and then spent his whole shift trying to track down Lucy. It wasn't until 8 p. m. that word came in of a confirmed Lucy sighting.When he got to the location, he made his way onto the tracks to save the dog. "I put myself in the path of Miss Lucy, who was at that time walking in a straight line," Bonilla said. "She basically came up to me, I called out her name, she laid down in front of me, I petted her, I picked her up, and I was able to put her on the 2 train right into Molly's hands."Molly, the daughter of Lucy's owner, said she was relieved when she was able to hold Lucy again all thanks to Bonilla's quick thinking and action. "I spent time from station to station screaming her name like a crazy person until Bonilla managed to find her and get her back into my hands," Molly said. "Then she sat very nicely on the subway for the whole ride home as though she had never done anything else. She's in good shape, reunited with my mom…and everybody's happy."The authority said Lucy was rescued from Puerto Rico about seven years ago and has been her owner's only companion throughout the pandemic(疫情).24.

Lucy's One-Day Underground Adventure for FreedomCJapan's Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings claims to have developed smart glasses that, if worn just an hour per day, can completely cure myopia.Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common ophthalmological(眼科的)condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry(模糊的). To make up for this blur, you have the option of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses(隐形眼镜), or having a surgery. But a Japanese company claims to have come up with a new way of dealing with myopia-a pair of "smart glasses" that project an image from the lens of the unit onto the wearer's eyes to correct the error that causes nearsightedness. Apparently, wearing the device 60 to 90 minutes a day corrects myopia.Founded by Dr. Ryo Kubota, Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings is still testing the device, known as Kubota Glasses, and trying to determine how long the effect lasts after the user wears the device, and how much the awkward-looking goggles(护目镜)have to he worn for the correction to be permanent.So how does the technology developed by Kubota work, exactly? Well, according to a company press release from December of last year, the special glasses rely on micro-LEDS to project virtual images on the visual field to actively stimulate the eyes. Apparently, it can do that without interfering with the wearers daily activities."This product, which uses multifocal(多焦点的)contact lens technology, passively stimulates the entire eyes with light myopically defocused by the non-central power of the contact lens," the press release states. "We intend to sell it first in Asia, which has a high rate of nearsighted people," Ryo Kubota told Nikkei.28. What can we learn about the smart glasses according to the passage?A. They are just a kind of contact lenses.C. They have cured many people of their myopia.B. They can cause nearsightedness for some errors.D. They should be worn 1 hour to I. 5 hours per day.29. Why does the company decide to sell the glasses first in Asia?A. Because it wants to serve the Asians.B. Because more Asians are nearsighted.C. Because America has better scientific development.D. Because Asian people are more willing to spend money.30. What does the fourth paragraph talk about?A. The effects of the smart glasses.B. The benefit of the smart glasses.C. The smart glasses' working principle.D. The connection between eyes and glasses.31. In which part can this text be read in a magazine?A. History.B. Technology.C. Entertainment.D. Advertisement.DCulture is the invisible(看不见的)bond which ties people together. The art, literature, language, and religion of a community represent its culture. The importance of culture lies in its close relation with the ways of thinking and living. Differences in cultures have led to a diversity in the people from different parts of the world.How we think of things is largely affected by our judgment skills, attitudes, and emotions. These factors are closely linked with our culture. In considering something as good or bad, our biases(偏见)play a role and so does our way of thinking. People who belong to cultures that promote individualism tend to look at only the main aspects of a situation, while those of a culture that promotes collectivism(集体主义)tend to consider even the small details. People of Eastern cultures perceive success as being a collective effort, while those of the American culture considerit as the fruit of individual effort.Culture affects perception(洞察力), and perceptions drive behavior. Thus, the culture we belong to has a direct effect on our behavior. Moreover, our environment, which has cultural influences, shapes our behavior. In a society where boys are stopped from crying, men think of it as an odd gesture.Group culture determines the behavioral norms(标准)for a group. To be accepted as a part of the group, we tend to follow what the group decides for us. Influenced by the norms or rules laid out by our culture, we act in agreement with them. We shape our behavior and personality to suit our culture. Our religion, traditions, customs, all a part of our culture, play a major role in shaping our personalities. In a culture where children are taught to be independent early in life, they grow up to be individualistic. In a culture where boys and girls are not treated as equal, children may become either aggressive or submissive(顺从的).32. What do people tend to do if they belong to a culture that promotes collectivism?A. Ignore all unimportant aspects.B. Blame their own failure on others.C. Think about as many details as possible.D. View success as a result of individual effort.33. What does the underlined word "odd" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Harmless.B. Strange.C. Acceptable.D. Interesting.34. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The diversity of personalities.B. The ways of educating children.C. The behavioral norms of a certain group.D. The influence of culture on personalities.35. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By listing examples and comparing.B. By analyzing different kinds of figures.C. By introducing some practical methods.D. By explaining the cause-effect relationship. 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，选项中有两项为多余。
