Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives.Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea. If you can go for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation.When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients(材料) to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize them. These are the basic sustainable measures. To do so we need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources without wasting any of them.In today’s busy life we don’t get much time to spend on our environment. Gardening gives us a chance to do so. We can also have some pesticide-free(无农药的) and fresh food if we grow them in our garden. This is the right time to do some good to protect our own environment and gardening is one of the easiest ways. Do you want to start gardening, but y ou’re not sure how?

Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to1, 000meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, “Reliability is the most important e lement of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.12. We can learn from the passage that the HoverbikeA. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly.B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to l, 000 meters high.C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams.D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed.13. Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show thatA. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable.B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful.C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height14. The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to .A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the Jetpack.D. the parachute15. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.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。

The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modem works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entranceLayout:The modem Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th- to 15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, VanDyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th- to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.Opening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm (Fridays 10am to 9pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute walk).21.

BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the ideas is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf athome.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.24.

She brushed her fingertips over its surface, remembering.Jerry was only seven when he started surfing; by the age of eleven, he was positively incredible, moving over the face of big waves like there wasn’t even a slightest bit of efforts involved in.On that day in Bah, though, the ocean had seemed strange. The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, making it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how he’d misjudged.Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadn’t seen him surface. She’d waited for the space of a breath. Nothing. Something, clearly, was wrong.She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the competitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.She’d found him floating just beyond th e reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a short, sharp instant of pain.No matter. She had kept Jerry’s head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the wo rst, scariest moment in Jerry’s surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning competitions around the world.For Ella, her life had changed as well. She had learned something about who she was, about what she could achieve. She ran her fingers again over the scar, the physical map of the person she had become.28. Why did Ella think something was wrong?A. She didn’t see Jerry come out of water.B. She had not seen Jerry lose control before.C. She s aw Jerry’s board high into the air.D. She noticed Jerry held his breath longer.29. What does the underlined part “positively incredible” probably mean?A. Terribly excited.B. Extremely good.C. Relatively young.D. Hardly talented.30. For Ella, the scar represents .A. her skill at saving livesB. her discovery of self-valueC. her envy of her brotherD. her love for swimming career31. What can be inferred from the text?A. Ella was as outstanding an athlete as Jerry.B. Jerry learned how to surf all by himself.C. Ella was grateful for this terrible experience.D. Jerry had his leg injured in the surfing accident.DRunning is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡)一chemicals in the body that cause happiness 一 are behind the so-called “runner’s high”,a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素)may actually be responsible for this familiargreat feeling.To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the change. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifchacker.Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that e xercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The UK's National Health Service even prescribes (开药方)exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off b eing more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的)depression,” it wrote on its website.It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.32. What did scientists from German universities recently discover?A. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.B. The runner's high could be caused by endocannabinoids.C. Endorphins may contribute to one's high spirits after running.D. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one's mood.33. The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to .A. find what reduces the runner's high symptomsB. see the specific symptoms of the runner's highC. identify what is responsible for the runner's highD. test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released34. The underline d word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to .A. effectB. goalC. questionD. belief35. According to the UK’s National Health Service, regular workouts .A. are the best way to treat depressionB. can help ease depression symptomsC. only work for those with serious depressionD. can help people completely recover from depression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选项。

Even before I opened my mouth, he was shaking his head.It was September 1957, and my family had just arrived in California. My father only got work two or three days a week. Our poor savings were gone, and as the eldest boy of the family, I was the only one able to help.“let me work the rest of the week, and if you don’t like the way I do the job, don’t pay me.”I said. The tall man stared at me, then nodded. At Mort’s, I worked very hard. Near the end of the day he called me up to him. “How much did that card at school say this job paid? "he asked. “One dollar an hour. " I whispered. Actually I was willing to take less.“That’s not enough for someone who works as hard as you, "Mort said. “You start at £ 1.25.”Over the next few weeks I learned a lot about Mort. Our store was closed on Sundays, so every Saturday evening Mort urged me to take home the leftover soup. It was a meal in itself, a treat for my struggling family.One Saturday after work. I was about to step in my house when I saw a large man in my father's chair. He was swearing at my father. I quietly walked into the kitchen and listened through the door. The man wanted to take our car. Dad offered to make the three payments that were due, but the man demanded the entire sum---£325---or the car. I slipped out of the door, thinking: Who might have £ 325? Who would even consider lending me so much money?The only person I could think of was Mort. I ran back to his deli and told him my tale. “So, could you possi bly lend my father £325?"I finished, realizing how absurd it sounded. Although Mort’s eye bored(挖) holes in my face, he gave me £ 325, saying,“I 'll take back half your wages until it's repaid.”That night I was a hero to my family, But the real hero was Mort Rubin, who quietly raised my salary every month afterwards. He made the world a better place.4. Why does the author talk about his family in Paragraph 2?A. To show his strong desire for a job.B. To reflect his poor living conditions.C. To stress the heavy burden on his father.D. To prove high living costs in California.5. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence?A. The meal was cheap but very deliciousB. The soup was fuel in snowy weather.C. The soup was more than the family could eat.D. The soup was a basic solution to the problem of the author’s family.6. Why did Mort give the author £ 325?A. Because the author wanted to buy a car.B. Because the three payments of the author’s family were due.C. Because he thought it absurd not to lend the author the money.D. Because the author wanted to pay off all the debts for his family.7. Which words can be used to describe Mort Rubin?A. Cold but flexible.B. Patient and hard-working.C. Kind and helpful.D. Strict and calculating.CResearch finds that children who play violent games or watch violent TV can become violent themselves, but what drives this change? Are the kids simply copy what they see on the screen, or could gaming have a more profound effect on their brains, affecting behavior?To explore that question, Dr. Vincent Matthews and his colleagues at Indiana University, who have long studied media violence, looked at what happened in the brains in 28 students who were randomly assigned to play either a violent, first-person shooter game or a non-violent one every day for a week. None of the participants had much previous gaming experience.At the start of the study, researchers used functional MRI to scan brain activity in the participants, all young adult men, while they completed lab-based tasks involving either emotional or non-emotional content. The participants were then scanned again while they repeated the same tasks after a week of playing the video games.Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition(抑制) of our impulses(冲动). “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the psychological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing,”say Matthews. “We’re showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior.”It’s not clear how long-lasting the changes may be. When Matthews brought the participants back after a week of not playing video games, their brain activity had changed again, recovering to more normal reactions, but their brain functions still weren’t quite the same as before they were exposed to the violent games.8. What do we know about the participants?A. Both teenagers and adults were chosen.B. The participants had never played any computer games before.C. 28 participants were all young adult men.D. The participants were carefully divided into two groups.9. After playing a violent video game, a person is more likely to be ______.A. concentrativeB. impulsiveC. calmD. tired10. What does the underlined part “more profound”in Paragraph I most probably mean?A. Greater.B. Shorter.C. negativeD. positive.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Causes Children to Be ViolentB. How Matthews Carried Out His StudyC. Say “No” to Computer GamesD. How Playing Violent Video Games May Change the BrainDWhen a laptop or smart phone battery starts losing its power, the only options are to buy an expensive replacement, or just keep it plugged in all the time. But one woman may have found the answer to this problem.Mya Le Thai is a scientist studying at the University of California. She recently discovered a process that may lead to batteries that last forever.Thai said she had been frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded over time, until they failed to charge fully. Thai did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet(电源插座) to keep it powered on. So, she decided to do something about that problem. At first, she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new battery. But as they experimented, Thai discovered something that might permit lithium-ion(锂离子) batteries to last forever.Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices. Over time, the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. Most of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they die. One of the reasons lithium-ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricity. Nanowires are extremely thin, A human hair is thousands of times thicker, for example. Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity, which makes them useful in batteries. But Thai said their thinness also makes them weak. "Nanowires break and fracture over time,” she said. “That's why they lose capacity.”But, Thai had a theory --- the nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶). She and her team tested this theory.“ It was a long process and a lot of work, "Thai said. The team tried many coverings for the wires. PMMA, a type of plastic, was one of them. The nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200,000 times. The PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage. The results suggest that batteries could last forever, without losing charging ability. Thai said 200,000 cycles amount to about three months on just one device. Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results.12. What caused Thai to work on lithium-ion batteries?A. She found that batteries can’t be powered fully.B. She disliked the batteries for her laptop.C. She thought batteries were too expensive.D. She and her team were assigned to invent a new battery.13. Which of the following sentences is TRUE about nanowires?A. They are too weak to carry electricity.B. They last only 7,000 charging cycles.C.They are the main cause of battery degrading.D. They are not suitable to use in batteries.14. The breakthrough may most probably lie in____________.A. a new kind of batteryB. new materials for batteriesC. coating nanowires in gelD. a new way of charging batteries15. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Why batteries are degradingB. Scientist invents life-long batteryC. Nanowires discovered by scientistD. Nanowires trying on new coating第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

(每小题2分,共30分)AA farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, "Are these yours?" "Yes, Sir." the farmer answered timidly (胆怯地). "Have you killed the man?" "No, no, Sir." the farmer said in a hurry. "When did you see the dead man?" "About seven last evening." "Did you see who killed the man?" "No, Sir." The officer brought out a knife and asked, "Have you seen it yet?" "No, sir." The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and sent him into prison.That evening the officer went on trying. Pointing to the knife, he asked again, "Have you seen it yet?"

He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100, and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening”, he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.6.

The bookstore is open 24 hours a day.Inside the bookstore are various books,especially literary books and classic authors’ works.So if you are looking for something less popular,you may get a bit disappointed there.Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars.All the expenses are paid on the honor system,which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves.So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens,papers,light bulbsand a label-maker.In order to catch passers-by’s attention,the billboards(广告牌)of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself.With these large eye-catchers,many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.9.What’s the passage mainly about?A.The world’s smallest bookstore.B.A strange way of selling books.C.The popular books nowadays.D.The popular bookstores in the world.10.Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?

It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine? The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.12. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine13. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine14.

I knew I could rely on her to have room for me on her lap and words of love and encouragement when I needed to hear them. When she died five years ago, I was devastated. The whole family was still in shock when her husband, Uncle Ronnie, died a wee k later. I longed to have a small item of Aunt KELLY’s to remember her by, but seeing her children and grandchildren overcome by the grief(悲痛)of this double loss made me shy away from asking.A few months after Aunt KELLY’s death, I was on my way to work w hen I saw Rescued Treasures, a local second-hand store. I only had a couple of dollars on me and didn’t really intend to buy anything, but I stopped anyway just to look inside. I had been shopping around for a few minutes when a small, black handbag caught my eye. It wasn’t fancy or special. I didn’t really need a handbag and continued to look around the store, but something kept drawing me back to that handbag. Finally, I checked the price tag(标签). It was just one dollar.The handbag stayed in the back of my car for weeks until I came upon it during a car clean-up.I opened it up. I couldn’t believe it. They hadn’t even cleaned it out. It was still full ofjunk, old candy wrappers, old receipts(收据)and used paper. Usually the store emptied things inside, so there wouldn’t be any surprises for a new owner.I threw away some wastes, and sorted through the receipts, when I found one item in the small inside pocket. It was an insurance card with the name “KELLY” written on it. I began to cry. My beloved Aunt KELLY. This was her handbag.24. What do we know from the passage?A. Karen’s husband survived her by five years.B. Karen’s children refused to give any item to the author.C. The author was very shy when she was young.D. Karen had been very kind to the author.25. The underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.A. very worriedB. extremely sadC. a little lonelyD. slightly disappointed26. The author made up her mind to buy the handbag because ______.A. she just needed to buy a handbagB. it happened that it was cheap and she could afford itC. someone else persuaded her to buy itD. the bag looked strange and special27. As soon as the author opened the handbag, she felt very ______.A. SickB. excitedC. surprisedD. nervousCWhen the sun sets in Hong Kong, the city skyline comes alive. Billboard(广告牌)lights flash, and light up the crowded streets. The colorful lights from the tall buildings are one of the city’s main attractions.“Oh, my god. The lights are so amazing. We love it. It’s so nice.” said one visitor.But this appreciation is not shared by everyone in Hong Kong. Lat year then government reported a record number of complaints. The curtains may be drawn. But residents argue the bright light outside is hard to escape. “We receive some complaints about the light pollution. They find it very hard to sleep or they have disturbance from the light outside.”Scientists at the University of Hong Kong spent 18 months studying levels of light pollution and collecting more than 5 million measurements. They found Hong Kong one of the world’s worst“victims”. The lights pollution condition in Hong Kong was extremely severe. Particular in cities, the night sky brightness, as well as the lights, is a few hundred times over the level of that of a night sky without light pollution. In cities such as Seoul, London, Shanghai and Paris, billboard lighting is under control. And there are punishments for people who go against the law.But in Hong Kong, there are no laws. A volunteer regulation called Charter of External Light (户外灯光约章)encourages visitors to switch off between 11 p.m. and 7 p.m. The critics say it’s not enough to make a difference. The government says 4800 businessmen have signed up to the Charter so far. And it’s satisfied that it’s working.But not everyone is convinced and some residents are taking upon themselves to act. Zoe Chow led a campaign to have a commercial building switch off their midnight. She won but she believes the lights will eventually turn back on. “I know that the building has signed the Charter of External Light. But it is voluntary, not mandatory(强制的).28. What is the complaint about in the third paragraph?A. The ill-designed billboard.B. The unattractive night lights.C. The light pollution at nightD. The city noise and disturbance.29. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. Billboard lighting is under control in all big cities.B. Scientists have found ways to stop the light pollution.C. The government attaches little importance to the light pollution.D. The Charter of External Light is aimed to help reduce the light pollution.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Bright lights in Hong Kong may continue to shine.B. People are satisfied with the role the Charter plays.C. Residents will never start a campaign against the light pollution.D. The Charter of External Light will no longer have an effect.31. What is this text mainly about?A. Hongkong’s light pollution lawB. Severe light pollution in Hongkong.C. Pollution problems in big cities.D. The Solution to light pollutions.DThe British economy is showing the greatest signs of stress since the Eurozone crisis and fears of a double-dip recession(衰退)six years ago, as worrying reports show the steepest fall inmanufacturing(制造业)output and the greatest degrees of pessimism among employers since 2012. Concerns over Brexit(英国脱欧)and a slowdown for high street spending are among the major factors contributing towards 2018 being the worst time in six years for British firms planning to take on new staff, according to a closely watched survey conducted by the employment firm ManpowerGroup.Watched by the Bank of England and the government for early warnings of hiring increases or downturns, the quarterly poll(季度民意调查)of about 2,000 major employers from nine different industry sectors across the UK found a net balance of only 4% planning to hire more staff rather than cutting back.The weakest outlook from the survey was reserved for the banking and finance industry, which recorded the worst outlook since the depths of the financial crisis almost a decade ago, suggesting job cuts may be on the way over the summer.The barometer(晴雨表)of hiring sentiment comes as Britain’s factories unexpectedly recorded the sharpest drop in output for more than five years in April. Pointing to fewer orders for steel used in infrastructure(基础设施)projects and a wider slowdown in demand for British goods at home and abroad, the Office for National Statistics said manufacturing output fell by 1.4% in April from the previous month. Economists had forecast modest growth of 0.3%.Although the situation does not appear to be as severe this year, forecasts issued by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research on Monday suggest the UK has done little to bounce back from heavy snowfall earlier in 2018.Putting the growth rate for GDP at only 0.2% in the three-month period to May, up from 0.1% in the same p eriod ending in April, Niesr’s head of UK macroeconomic forecasting, Amit Kara, said: “Economic growth has slowed materially since the start of this year and it continues to remain weak.”32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? ________A. The British economy is booming now.B. The British economy is going through a great depression.C. People are not concerned about Brexit at all.D. British firms are planning to take on new stuff.33. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in paragraph 2? ________A.developmentB. demandC. distributeD. decline34. What indicates that the hiring sentiment has come? ________A. The recession in banking and finance industry.B. The sharpest drop in output recorded by Brit ain’s factories.C. GDP increasing at a rather low rate.D. The surplus of British goods at home and abroad.35. What is the Amit Kara’s attitude toward the current economic situation? ________A. pessimisticB. optimisticC. indifferentD. hopeful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。
