ADreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun We've come up with four of the top picnic areas across the US.Cumberland Islands. GeorgiaJust a few hours south of Savannah. this national seashore is a picnic paradise. It's an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails（路线）.Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, the stars line up for a spectacular show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.Grant Park, ChicagoIf you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-da lakefront, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 1th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.Cranberry Islands, MaineHere, you'll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it's a romantic picnic circa to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.Big Sur, CaliforniaThe Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem（胜地）.Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological formations. It's good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance.21.

She holds an account on each of the two platforms where she uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food.She and her team arc fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soybeans, grinding them into powder and making the powder into tofu, then cooking it. In another video clip about soy sauce, she shows how to plant the soybean in the field.Yet recently a question about her has become hot on micro blog： Are Li Ziqi's works a kind of cultural export" Many argue that her videos are about daily life and therefore she is not a symbol of Chinese culture. In fact, Chinese culture has many aspects and very few people dare proclaim themselves to be a “symbol" of it. Li has never said anything about that.Of course, via her videos Li lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of even simple raw materials. She lets the world sec one of the most important aspects of the Chinese people—how they live their dail y lives, and it is these that have captured the hearts of her global audience.Her videos have few words or conversations, and at first they were without any English subtitles or English headlines, yet they appeal to English readers. That shows the charm of the Chinese culture in every detail of daily life. It is unnecessary to debate whether Li's videos arc cultural export or not. She just lets the world know and love Chinese culture.24. What can we learn about Li\ worksA. They attract foreigners with English headlines.B.

She makes a lot of money by selling her videos.D. She has promoted traditional Chinese culture.CScientists think that growing garden grass could be the secret to solving our energy needs, and we may soon be able to replace our gasoline with “grassoline".The team, including experts from Cardiff University in Wales, has shown that hydrogen（氢）can be taken from grass in useful amounts with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst—something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.It is the first time that this has been shown and it could lead to a sustainable way of making hydrogen, reported Asian News International. This could be an important kind of renewable energy because it is high in energy and it does not give out harmful gases when it is burned.Study co-author Michael Bowker said， "This is really a green source of energy. Hydrogen is seen as an important future energy carrier as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and our research has shown that even garden grass could be a good way of getting it. ”Cellulose（纤维素）,which is a key part of plants and the biopolymer（生物聚合物） found in the largest numbers on the earth, could be a great source of hydrogen.In their study, the team looked at the possibility of getting hydrogen from cellulose using sunlight and a simple catalyst.This is called photocatalysis（(催化作用）and in it, the sunlight starts the catalyst, which then makes cellulose and water into hydrogen. The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metal-based catalysts? of which nickel（镍）especially interested the researchers, as it is a much more common metal than gold and palladium and it saves more money.According to Bowker, producing hydrogen from cellulose using photocatalysis has not been studied in detail. The team's research shows that large amounts of hydrogen can be produced using this method with the help of a bit of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.The study shows that it is effective to use real grass taken from a garden. "This is important as it avoids the need to separate and clean up cellulose, which can be both difficult and costly," said Bowker.28. What arc needed to get hydrogen from grassA. A catalyst and palladium.B. Water and cellulose.C. Sunlight and a biopolymer.D. Sunlight and a catalyst.29. Why is the new way of making hydrogen considered significantA. It is cheap, green and sustainable.B. It is the best to produce the renewable energy.C. It is more productive and efficient than other methods.D. It can replace the way to make fossil fuels completely.30. Why docs nickel interest the researchers in making hydrogen from celluloseA. It can produce the largest amount of hydrogen.B. It can avoid separating and cleaning up cellulose.C. It is more common than other metals and costs less.D. It works quicker than other metals during photocatalysis.31, What does the author intend to tell us mainly in this passageA. Catalysts that could be taken from grass.B. A new way of making hydrogen from grass.C. The potential of hydrogen as renewable energy.D. The connection between hydrogen and photocatalysis.DBlack Friday does not offer the bargains it claims, consumer experts warned. Almost all of the 'deals' promoted around theevent last year were actually on offer for the same price or cheaper in the six months either before or after. Remarkably, just 1 in 20 was actually the cheapest price on that date. Consumer group Which has told shoppers to be wary of what they describe as the 'Great Black Friday Swindle' after analyzing dozens of offers from Amazon, John Lewis and Currys PC World. Imported from the US, Black Friday always falls on the last Friday of November. This is because the sales are scheduled to follow the American holiday of Thanksgiving which takes place the day before.In Britain, the event has been a disaster for many retailers—particularly those with a high street presence—because they feel they have to slash prices or risk missing out on the first flush of festive spending. Before Black Friday crossed the Atlantic, shops held off advertising discounts until the last minute before Christmas.However. the November sales event now leads to a huge spending splurge （挥霍）over the weekend——only to be followed by empty stores and streets through December.Now research by Which suggests the Black Friday sales themselves are not all they seem. Which tracked the prices of 83 products on sale on Black Friday in 2018 for a year, from six months before the day until six months after. Researchers found just four deals—5 percent—were cheaper on Black Friday than at other times. Six in ten of the products on offer, which included speakers, soundbars and kitchen appliances, were cheaper or the same price on at least one day in the six months before the event. And Which found that three in four products were cheaper or the same price in the six months afterwards, when compared with the deals offered in two weeks around Black Friday,Natalie Hitchins at Which said： "We have repeatedly shown that 'deals' touted by retailers on Black Friday are not as good as they seem. Time-limited sales can be a good opportunity to bag a bargain, but don't fall for the pressure tactics around Black Friday. Our investigation indicates that this popular shopping event is all hype（大肆宣传)and there are few genuine discounts. "An investigative study of Black Friday, led by West Chester University Professor Gina Castle Bell, observed themes of consumerism but also observed the themes of a happy holiday. The researchers found through Black Friday people celebrate, plan, bond, and build traditions together.For me my Black Friday always begins and ends on a living room floor littered withnewspaper ads. There, late on Thanksgiving night, my family collectively holds a strategy session. Later, we race to early bird specials, wait with strangers in lines sharing stories of past Black Fridays, take a long relaxing lunch full of family banter （打趣），get Christmas decorations, stop into a Cheesecake Factory bar to see the dramatic end of a football game, get a caffeine-high from Starbucks Christmas drinks, and end the shopping at a torn apart Old Navy（美国服装品牌），digging to find late available basics like socks. Finally, exhausted but contented, we collapse back on that living room floor, still littered with ads, where we drink hot cocoa, watch a Christmas movie, and plan to hang the new decorations.32. What was the truth of bargains on Black Friday in 2018A. 5% of the deals were at the lowest price on Black Friday.B. 95 of the deals were at the lowest price on Black Friday.C. 95% of the deals were at the same price before or after the sales.D. 5% of the deals were at the higher price before or after the sales.33. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ___________ ,A. Black Friday is an international shopping festivalB. many employees have a day off on Black FridayC. Black Friday is the best time of the year to get good deals in the USD. consumers may do some serious Christmas shopping on Black Friday34. The underlined word "slash" in Paragraph 2 means "A. drawB. reduceC. depositD. increase35. The author introduces the Paragraph 4 by ____________ .A. following time orderB. following importance orderC. giving examplesD, making comparisons and contrasts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。
