第一节                                                                         （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）

 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

Do you want to see majestic lions roaring, rare rhinos running and colorful birds flying? You’ll find this incredible display of nature in the Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley.

First stop

Fly into Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This great city is known for its fashion markets and beautiful art. And be sure to pick up some rich Kenyan coffee while you’re there! Then head for the countryside.

Plan your trip

The largest of the three lakes in the system, Lake Nakuru, is less than 175 kilometers from Nairobi. But Lakes Bogoria and Elementaita are equally worth a visit. You can stay at one of several choices of luxurious cabins in the valley. And if you sign up for a trip, be sure to put flamingos, the white and pink birds, at the top of your list.

Paradise

The Kenya Lake System is shallow and alkaline (碱性的). That means it supports vegetation such as green algae, a food source for many waterfowl. Hundreds of species of birds flourish here, using this area as a major breeding and nesting ground. Water buffalo, leopards, monkeys and the endangered Rothschild giraffe also make this area their home.

Other sights

Wildlife isn’t the only natural wonder in the Great Rift Valley. The valley marks a place where the earth is divided far below the surface. This rock separation below ground leads to noticeable features above ground. Walking around Lake Bogoria especially, you will see steam rising from hot springs.

Other activities include golfing, horseback riding and hiking. The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, either. The river valley is far from city lights, so many visitors gaze at the stars shining above.

If you are ready for a wildlife experience, don’t hesitate!

21．Where can you buy fashionable gifts in Kenya?

A．Nairobi. B．Lake Nakuru.

C．Lake Bogoria. D．Lake Elementaita.

22．Which should be the first choice on your travelling list?

A．Living in a cabin. B．Seeing flamingos.

C．Visiting hot springs. D．Gazing at shining stars.

23．What can we learn about the Kenya Lake System?

A．It has countless lakes worth visiting. B．It’s an ideal place for wildlife to live.

C．Its water is unsuitable for plant growth. D．It’s famous for rich culture and history.

B

Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng, a retired Tibetan couple, have become trailblazers (开拓者) of grape growing and winemaking in their old ages.

Lu Sheng learned grape planting and winemaking from her grandmother’s sister. Since they retired, the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi. Though the fact that the region’s capital, which is 3,600 meters above sea level, is considered unfit for growing grapes, Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015, planting grapes in Tsalna, a town in the suburb of Lhasa.

They received support from the local government, which is committed to developing business and the economy. The couple’s project provides jobs for rural residents, and, as a result, the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.

“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold, drought and disease, and adaptable to high-altitude and open-air planting,” Lu Sheng said.

“Thanks to the plateau’s sunshine and organic planting, our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa. The grapes are a bit sour and sweet, and they have a high anthocyanin (花青素) content,” she said. Anthocyanins, which accumulate (积累) in grape cells and contribute rich color to wine, are water-soluble（水溶性的）.

In 2018, Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project, planting on nearly 6.67 hectares. In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and winemaking, they taught the skills to local villagers.

“We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years. They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding,” Hua Sheng said.

Yudron, a resident of Nam, said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village, which has contributed to her income and quality of life. “After working in the vine-yards for years, now we know how to make wine. We drink both barley and grape wine now. We love grape wine more, though, as it is healthier.”

24．What did the couple do after their retirement?

A．They grew grapes and made wine in Lhasa.

B．They made friends with a French expert.

C．They moved to another city from Lhasa.

D．They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng's grandmother.

25．Why was the couple's project thought of as part of a poverty relief program?

A．They donated grapes to local schools.

B．They employed local residents as workers.

C．They provided free wine for villagers.

D．They expanded the project with the local government.

26．Which is the function of anthocyanins?

A．They make grapes more delicious.

B．They provide adequate colors for wine.

C．They make grapes a bit sour and sweet.

D．They can accelerate the growth of grapes.

27．For the project conducted by the couple, Yudron is ________.

A．indifferent B．cautious C．appreciative D．concerned

C

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.

Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.

It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.

In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.

28．Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?

A．To reduce pressure on keys. B．To improve accuracy in typing.

C．To replace the password system. D．To cut the cost of e-space protection.

29．What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?

A．Computers are much easier to operate.

B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.

C．Typing patterns vary from person to person.

D．Data security measures are guaranteed.

30．What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?

A．It’ll be environment-friendly. B．It’ll reach consumers soon.

C．It’ll be made of plastics. D．It’ll help speed up typing.

31．Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary. B．A guidebook C．A novel. D．A magazine.

D

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.

“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”

32．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?

A．It promoted the sales of artworks. B．It attracted a large number of visitors.

C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models.

33．What does Hill say about Chinese women?

A．They are setting the fashion. B．They start many fashion campaigns.

C．They admire super models. D．They do business all over the world.

34．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．learning from    B．looking down on     C．working with   D．competing against

35．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the World

B．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York

C．Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics

D．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

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。

Believe it or not, humans spend roughly one-third of their lives asleep. No wonder the quality of our sleep is so closely linked to the quality of our lives. ___36___ Here are some fun facts related to sleep that you might not know about. Let’s find out!

How do astronauts sleep?

A person in space goes to bed at night and then wakes up the next day. But it’s a little different since there is no up or down and no pull of gravity. ___37___ Astronauts can attach themselves to a wall, a seat or a bed inside the cabin so they don’t float around or bump into something.

___38___

We’re all familiar with songs getting stuck in our heads while we’re awake. This phenomenon is called earworms. It turns out that this can happen during sleep as well. Even if we’re asleep, our brains continue to process music, which could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.

Sleep with your pet?

Is it good for you to sleep with a pet? Experts have traditionally said no. Pets, like dogs and cats, do not sleep continuously and they will often get up and walk on the bed. All of the activities will lead to a disturbed sleep. ___39___ But recent studies found that people with depression or anxiety may benefit from having their pets in the bed.

Socks can help us sleep?

___40___ Putting on a pair of socks at bedtime will help you fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less. Wearing socks can help a process called distal vasodilation, which refers to an increase of blood to your hands and feet.

A．Can you feel the music clearly?

B．Earworms happen while sleeping?

C．This might cause you to sleep even worse.

D．Hence, weightless astronauts can sleep anywhere.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Yoghurt

It was a tough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.

My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate advertising.

I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yoghurt. What’s the big deal?” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.

On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn’t seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then— bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot(鼻涕) frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries, but I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.

Dear Kevin,

Learning that you’re upset that you’re not permitted to browse Tik Tok at the weekend, I fully understand your feeling. So I’m writing to offer you some advice.

If we spend too much time on Tik Tok, there will be little time left for our studies. That is why our parents expect us to focus on study. If I were you, I would shift my attention to other interesting things, like rock climbing. Besides, why not have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents, which can enhance your mutual understanding.

I do hope you keep in good mood. Looking forward to your reply!

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

读后续写【参考范文】Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt?” I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.

Then, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoons of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.
