Dive into Jason deCaires Taylor's underwater art exhibits from around the world
Creating the world's first underwater sculpture(雕像) park in Grenada in 2006, and with over 1,000 underwater artworks across the globe, deCaires Taylor has artfully highlighted the threats to our oceans while actively helping to create new life in them.Here are some of the underwater art exhibits.
Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park
Grenada, West Indies
Installed in 2006 after Molinere Bay suffered destructive damage from the 2004 Hurricane Ivan, these 75 underwater art pieces formed the world's first underwater sculpture park and was name done of National Geographic's 25 Wonders of the World.It now provides a new habitat for marine life,and it also draws divers and glass-bottomed boats away from more delicate reefs nearby.
Ocean Atlas
Nassau, Bahamas
Off the coast of Nassau sits the world's largest underwater sculpture, shallow enough for divers to view.This 60-ton,16-foot tall statue of a young Bahamian girl appears to hold up the ocean, just like her Greek namesake (同名人物) Atlas, who suspended the heavens in Greek myth(神话) .
The Rising Tide
London, U.K.
Unlike most of deCaires Taylor's works, these sculptures can be seen from land,on the banks of the River Thames, emerging during low tide. Within sight of the Houses of Parliament, they are a nod to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and are a reminder of rising sea levels and the denial of climate change.
Museum of Underwater Art
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Expected to open to the public in early 2020, deCaires Taylor's latest project aims to rehabilitate parts of the world's largest reef system. Works in the underwater museum include a partially-submerged(半淹没的)figure that changes color as the sea warms and which can be seen from shore, and even a submerged coral-covered greenhouse.
1．What do deCaires Taylor's underwater art exhibits have in common?
A．Becoming National Geographic's Wonders of the World.
B．Sharing names with gods in Greek myth.
C．Changing colors with water temperature.
D．Combining art with saving ocean creatures.
2．Where can you see the largest underwater sculpture?

Cities all over the world celebrate Christmas in unique and memorable ways. The following international destinations are just a few of the countless choices to consider.
Quebec city
Quebec city has long drawn admirers to its historic district the famed city wall, strange cobblestone lanes（鹅卵石小路）and handsome stone houses. This area transforms into a scenic Christmas village each December. The 403-year-old capital of Quebec province takes pride in the outdoors at Christmas time, when stone buildings shine with lights. Consider cross-country ski on the Plains of Abraham, or skate at the place D’ Youville square.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh, a magic city full of staircases and hills as well as Georgian and neo-Classical buildings, is famous for its mixture of the modern and the old. This is evident in winter, when Scotland’s capital puts on a six-week festival lasting until Jan. 6 that goes way beyond Christmas markets. You can ride roller coasters, climb a wall of ice and attend a vivid Christmas themed show by the cabaret troupe（剧团）La Clique.
Zurich
If buying gifts is on your travel schedule, Zurich is an impressive shopping center, particularly around the holidays, from multiple Christmas markets and the luxury（奢侈品）dress shops of Bahnhofstrasse Street, to the independent designers and antique shops in the merging industrial zones. Another annual lighting spectacle（壮观场面）, Lichterschwimmen, on Dec. 21, includes hundreds of tiny lanterns that are sent floating down the River Limmat.
Sydney
A lack of snow does not dampen the Christmas spirit in Sydney. One great and free way to feel the holiday is to take this Dec. 21 walking tour of George Street, which promises “the most sharable window displays and coloured lights.” One advantage over other destinations: warm, sandy beaches that lie just minutes from downtown, where the natural beauty of Australia’s most popular city will be waiting.
1．What can you do in Quebec city during Christmas?
A．Ride roller coasters.
B．Take part in a walking tour.
C．Enjoy cross-country ski.
D．Watch a Christmas-themed show.

Seattle is home to one of the busiest ports, so many visitors have a short window to crowd in as much sightseeing as possible before getting on a ship. Here are four attractions you can see in a rush.
Space Needle
Regular tickets for the Space Needle are $10 cheaper from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Order tickets in advance so you can go straight in line for the elevators. At the top, you can read fun facts about the Needle and interact with a huge, touchscreen “SkyPad”—- not to mention admiring incredible 360-degree views of the city.
Chihuly Garden and Glass
Located right next to the Space Needle, this exhibit features the work of Dale Chihuly. Walk through the Glasshouse to see one of his largest pieces: a 100-foot-long glass sculpture in colors of red, orange and yellow. Order your Space Needle and Chihuly tickets together for even more savings.
Pike Place Market
Just steps from the Space Needle, you can get on the bus to the famous Pike Place Market. Give yourself plenty of time to eat your way through this huge marketplace. Most places offer samples so you can try a wide variety of snacks before you buy.
Post Alley
Located under Pike Place Market, this street is home to Seattle’s stickiest attraction: the Gum Wall. This tradition started in the 1990s, when people waiting in line for Post Alley’s Market Theater would stick their chewed gum on the wall. Since then, thousands of others have added to the collection. The wall was swept clean in 2015, but you’d never know it now. It makes for a good photo opportunity—just don’t get too close.
1．What can you do at the Space Needle?
A．Taste some delicious snacks. B．Overlook the whole city of Seattle.
C．See a wonderful glass sculpture. D．Take the fastest elevators in the world.

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA)—a study of the test scores of 15-year-olds across 79 countries—showed that students in England performed significantly better in maths than 2015. PISA is conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) every three years, and assesses the performance of 15-year-olds mainly in reading, maths and science.
In England, the Government has prioritized（优先）climbing up the league tables in recent years. The latest tests were carried out last year, and showed that England was ranked 17 in the table for maths, up from 26 in 2015. Pupils in England also outperformed the OECD average in reading and science. On student well-being, 53 percent of 15-year-olds across the UK reported that they are satisfied with their lives—well below the 67 percent average across the OECD．
Taking the UK as a whole, while there was only a statistically significant improvement in maths, the country still improved its position relative to other countries across all three of the subjects tested by PISA．In reading, the UK was 14th, up from 22nd three years ago. In science the UK was 14th, up from 15th, and in maths the UK rose to 18th from 27th.
Across the rest of the league tables, East Asian countries like China and Singapore continued to be far superior. Today’s results also showed that Estonia outperformed all the major European economies.
However, Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, cautioned against concluding too much from the findings. There are many educational and non-educational factors which affect performance and it is not easy to find how these have impacted on young people’s attainment in a set of tests. What is worrying, however, is that this analysis shows that fewer students in the UK are satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. It is clear that many young people feel under great pressure in a society in which the risks often seem very high to them in terms of achieving their goals.
12．Which aspect of England is under the average of the OECD?
A．Reading. B．Science.
C．Well-being. D．Maths.
13．Which statement agrees with the UK’ performance in PISA?
A．The UK did worse than before.
B．The UK progressed a little in PISA．
C．The UK hasn’t made any improvement.
D．The UK pulled well ahead of the rest countries.
14．Which of the following countries always holds a leading position in PISA?
A．China. B．Estonia. C．The UK. D．England.
15．What do the Geoff Barton’s words mean in the last paragraph?
A．The PISA results are unbelievable for educators.
B．Students in the UK are in need of more practice.
C．Education quality can’t be fully reflected only by PISA．
D．Young people take more risks of achieving their goals.

Just like essays, all speeches have three main sections: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. 16． You need to write a speech in a way that keeps the attention of an audience and helps paint a mental image at the same time. Whatever type of speech you decide to write, find ways to make your words memorable.
The structure of how to write your speech is just the start. 17． Start by paying attention to your audience and their interests. Write the words you’ll speak with passion and enthusiasm, which you also want your listeners to share. When writing your attention-grabbing statements, make sure you are writing what will get their attention, not just yours.
18． Read famous speeches and look at the way they are constructed. Find things that stand out and figure out what makes it interesting. Oftentimes, speechwriters use rhetorical devices（修辞法）to make certain points easy to remember.
Remember to begin and end your speech with something that will gain and hold the attention of your audience. If you spend too much time getting into your speech, people will zone out or start checking their phones. 19．
20． When you give the speech, think about the tone you should use, and be sure to write the speech in the same flow that you’d use in conversations. A great way to check this flow is to practice reading it out loud. If you stumble（磕磕巴巴）while reading or it feels dull, look for ways to jazz up（使活泼）the words and improve the flow.
A．You’ll also need to write the speech skillfully.
B．How you deliver the speech is also important.
C．You can gain inspiration from others’ speeches.
D．Instead, if interested, they may stick with you until the end.
E.So the essay form can offer a good foundation for the process.
F.However, unlike essays, speeches are not to be read but to be heard.
G.In other words, your speech should contain some color, drama, or humor.

The chosen pair will be invited to share dinner with the Earl and Countess in the state dining room, followed by coffee in the library. They will then retire to one of the gallery bedrooms with views overlooking 1,000 acres of parkland.

Overcoming extreme cold, cruel ice and people dismissing him as mad, Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest.
After a dramatic fall over almost sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-year-old Kamicar emerged in his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said.
At one stage he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling into the deep crevasses (裂缝) that dot the mountain.
The descent (下落) had been seen by many as insanely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, which documents deaths which are foolhardy, urged people to log on to Internet broadcasts of the attempt. “Keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award,” it said.
However, the only body to make the news was the corpse (尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes.
“This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was a really shocking experience,” he said.
Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed his descent on the Internet, which was one of the record highs ever. During the run more than 650,000 hits were registered on his expedition website jamming it for a time as others tried to access the site.
Weather conditions were so severe that Kamicar had to abandon plans to rest on the summit before attempting to descend. Instead, suffering from fatigue, as soon as he reached the top he put on his skis and flung himself back down the mountain.
Dealing with the mountain had already cost Kamicar two fingers when a previous failed attempt saw him get frostbite as a fierce storm lashed the peak.
Kamicar comes from a skiing family and took part in his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989. Since then, he has been tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal.
32．Davo Kamicar made history by ________.
A．skiing down Mount Everest without rest
B．descending Mount Everest within the shortest time ever
C．attracting largest number of audience online for his descent
D．becoming the first to film his descent down Mount Everest
33．The underlined word foolhardy in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A．sudden and hard to accept B．taking unnecessary risks
C．attracting public attention D．working hard to fool others
34．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Kamicar saw about 120 dead bodies littering the slope.
B．The broadcast of his descent online was cancelled because of the website jam.
C．Kamicar’s family had a tradition to conquer Mount Everest.
D．This was not Kamicar’s first attempt on Mount Everest.
35．Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A．Mad man skis down Everest B．Darwin Award for Davo Kamicar
C．Extreme sports hero slides to a record D．Body of mountaineer found on Everest

Many people travel to enjoy and enrich themselves. As poet Jalaluddin said,“Travel brings power and love back to your life.”However, their travel methods may be different every year. Lonely planet listed three top trends of 2019. Let’s take a look.
Solo travel
Traditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that changed in 2019. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go. For some people, it also shows a better, more confident person, ready to solve anything. Traveling alone in a totally foreign land can be challenging. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Said Kristina, a traveler from the US.
Augmented(增广的) attractions
World travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality, or VR and AR, are giving more possibilities to “travel” for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smart-phones and Wi-Fi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel, bringing the 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical sites to our homes.
In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to “walk” its surface with just a headset. Paris’ famous museums, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology. This gives visitors more context and information about exhibits. With that, visitors can view a sea cow growing flesh before their eyes. These trends will help you beat the crowds and experience new kinds of travel.
Getting off the beaten path
In order to avoid the crowds, many liked to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies in 2019. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting upon small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Take a walk, ride a bike, drink coffee, take a deep breath and explore.
1．The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is .
A．to introduce the travel trends of 2019 B．to encourage more people to travel
C．to recommend travel hot spots D．to explain what makes a good trip
2．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Solo travelers are free to make their own decisions.
B．Travelling alone benefits people a lot.
C．NASA provided a real experience to Mars for people.
D．VR and AR make it cheaper for people to “travel”.
3．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Famous places are still popular with many travelers.
B．Many people begin to explore new ways of travelling.
C．Many people like to search for places online.
D．Less transportation of small towns causes inconvenience.

You probably have not heard of Lu Zikuan, but recently the 11-year-old boy deeply touched Chinese netizens for donating his bone marrow (骨髓) to save his sick father and has returned to school in his hometown.
Lu Zikuan is just an ordinary boy from Huixian county, Henan province. On hearing about his father’s illness, the boy had a strong feeling that he should do something to help. He gained 15 kilograms in three months in order to meet the weight (at least 45 kg) required for an operation to save his father, who suffered from leukemia（急性白血病）and was in need of a bone marrow transplant. By filling his stomach with five meals a day, he ballooned to 45 kg from his original 30 kg since March, when the bone marrow was found to match that of his father.
On Sept 9, the operation went smoothly at a Peking University People’s Hospital branch in Qinghe, Beijing. His father is recovering from the transplant, and the boy has been out of hospital and on a diet. After putting on weight, even very little exercise would exhaust him and his inner thighs often got red and swollen when he walked. Now the boy has lost 4 kilograms since the operation, and he hopes to eventually get back to about 30 kg.

Guinness World Records Set by Kids
♦ The youngest club DJ
Oratilwe A J Hongwane likes putting in more efforts when playing music for a crowd. In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ—he was five when he played a one- hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan.

Horseback Riding

Cycling + Mountain Biking
On the path or the road, spending time on a bike allows you to slow down and leisurely take in the scenery around you. Mountain biking can give you the biggest excitement, while road cycling may offer a more peaceful and calming experience. Travel with your bike or rent one at your travelling places, and your possibilities for exploration have already increased.

Want a book? Head to a Rocket Ship in Boulder, Colorado, United States, a cottage (小屋) near Ghen, Belgium, or a tree in Coeurd’ Alene, Idaho, United States. These are just three of the more than 80,000 Little Free Libraries in more than 90 countries. Unlike traditional libraries, these small structures aren't buildings where people check out books from a librarian.
“A Little Free Library is a box full of books from which, when you find one, you can take a book home with you,” explains Margret Aldrich, Little Free Library spokes-woman. “Or if you have a book to share, you can leave it for someone else to read.”
Little Free Libraries are everywhere: outside homes or beside coffee shops.
The first was set on a post in front of Todd Bol’s home in Hudson, Wisconsin, United States, 10 years ago. The little schoolhouse Bol built held free books anyone could enjoy.
It became a local hit.
A year after setting up his library, Bol and Rick Brooks, a friend and business partner, launched Little Free Library as a nonprofit organization in 2012. Their goal was to make books more widely available while building connections within communities.
They inspired a book-sharing revolution.
Little Free Libraries began to spread all over the place-from Salvador, Brazil, to Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States.
Today, those who want to build one can get free instructions from the Little Free Library website.
“There weren't many public places like libraries where I live” says 10-year-old Umayr Ansari, who put a Little Free Library outside his home in Doha, Qatar. “I had a lot of extra books, and I wanted to share them so people who didn't have their own books could have a chance to read.”
“I liked to build the libraries and get the feeling of, ‘Wow I helped make that,’” says 11-year-old Ava Jelliek, “That gave me confidence.”
1．When and where was the first Little Free Library set up?
A．In 2001; In Wisconsin, United States. B．In 2002; In Salvador, Brazil.
C．In 2011; In Ghen, Belgium. D．In 2012; In Doha,Qatar.
2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A．The first free library. B．Todd Bol's home.
C．A nearby coffee shop. D．A cottage near Ghen.
3．What can we learn about Umayr Ansari and Ava Jelliek's opinion?
A．They are happy to have their own libraries.
B．It’s good to make money by building a Little Free Library.
C．They are eager to build connections with friends.
D．It's a pleasure to help people read books easily.

21.（2020届四川省德阳市高三二诊） Earlier today,a volcano erupted on New Zealand’s White Island for the first time in nearly two decades. Early reports indicate that the event has already claimed at least five lives,and emergency recovery efforts are still underway.
Unlike some volcanic events at known hot spots,the volcano provided little hint that it was ready for an eruption,making it difficult for officials to warn visitors that the destructive event was a-bout to occur.
As CNN reports a group of 23 visitors was near the volcano shortly before it erupted. The five individuals who have been confirmed dead were from that group,while everyone else suffered a variety of injuries.
The visitors that were on the island were members of a tourist group from a cruise ship known as Ovation of the Seas. The vessel is operated by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. At the moment,it’s not believed that there is anyone else on the island.
“Based on the information we have,we do not believe there are any survivors on the island, “a police statement explains. “Police is working urgently to confirm the exact number of those who have died,further to the five confirmed deceased already. “
Tourists who said they were on the island just shortly before the eruption shared videos of the volcano spitting dust and debris on social media. As can be seen in the brief video here,the entire island appears as though it’s been swallowed up by the volcanic smoke and dust.
Additional video shot from a different location appears to show tourists stuck on the island,near the shore,away from the site of the eruption.
Boats from other tour groups picked up others who were attempting to flee,but the confused nature of the rescue efforts has left some still unaccounted for. Rescue crews are continuing their efforts as we speak.
28．Based on the passage,which of the following is NOT true about the volcano?
A．It has been sleeping for about twenty years.
B．Officials failed to warn visitors of its eruption.
C．It is a must-go attraction for tourists to the island.
D．Its eruption produced large amounts of smoke and dust.
29．According to the police statement in the passage,what conclusion can we draw?
A．All survivors have been rescued from the island.
B．Tourists should stay away from the erupting volcano.
C．There can’t be more deaths except for the five confirmed ones.
D．Royal Caribbean Cruise Line is responsible for the loss of lives.
30．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．This volcano is not an active one.
B．The exact number of deaths remains unknown.
C．New Zealand’s White Island is not a hot scenic spot.
D．The other 18 tourists of the group are still stuck on the island.
31．Where is this passage most likely to appear?
A．In a newspaper. B．On the Internet. C．In a magazine. D．On TV.

On 23 June 2016, UK (United Kingdom) adults made a historic decision. More than 33 million people voted for the UK to leave the European Union (EU). In the referendum, the result was that around 52% of them—just over half—voted to leave the group of 28 countries. This is called Brexit made up to describe the “British Exit”. No country had ever left the EU before, so Brexit was a significant moment in European history.
After UK and EU leaders had lots of hard negotiations about how Brexit would work, on 22nd, January, 2020, Wednesday, the British Parliament finally approved an agreement about the UK’s divorcing the EU, which Queen Elizabeth II agreed to on Thursday. The deal was expected to pass in the European Parliament the next week. If everything went well, the UK would leave the EU on January 31, 2020. It did! The UK finally and officially left the EU at 11 pm on this day, ending a process that began three and a half years before. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit fans celebrated with fireworks and big parties. For many they called it the UK’s Independence Day. For many others in the UK, it represented the final stage of something they fought hard to prevent. Now the deal has been signed and Britain has left, but it doesn’t mean the life in Britain will change suddenly. Until 31st December 2020, freedom of movement will continue and this means UK citizens will have the right to live and work in the EU.
Making things even more difficult is the fact that the next challenge of Brexit has arrived. The UK and EU now have almost one year to work out the details of the relationship they will have in the future. Many experts express their common concern that making these new agreements will go through the same experience as the original Brexit deal.
12．What does the underlined word “referendum” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Explanation. B．Vote.
C．Deal. D．Statement.
13．What day was it when the UK left the EU officially?
A．Tuesday. B．Wednesday.
C．Thursday. D．Friday.
14．What can we say about Brexit?
A．It was an extremely difficult process. B．It is a great victory for all UK people.
C．It means a temporary loss for the EU. D．It brings UK people a new life overnight.
15．What is the experts’ attitude towards Brexit’s next work?
A．Ambiguous. B．Confident.
C．Worried. D．Cautious.
