British adventurer（冒险家）Alastair Humphreys had ridden his bike around the world, walked across India, and rowed（划船）from Africa to South America. In 2011, however, Humphreys had some of the biggest adventures of his life—and he never even left the United Kingdom.
For a year, Humphreys went on microadventures—small, low- cost trips close to home. Why did he do this?“I started to think that it was possible to have an adventure anywhere,”he explains. For his first trip, he went hiking with a friend around the M25—a 188-kilometer road that goes all the way around London. Other adventures included swimming in the River Thames, sleeping outside on a hill, and going on a mountain biking trip. Humphreys learned something important from his microadventures: We find adventures when we try something new.
Humphreys wanted other people to make this discovery, too, so he decided to share his idea. He challenged people to go on microadventures and send him four-minute videos of their trips. He asked them to do things like climb a hill, go away for a weekend, or choose a random（任意的）place on a map and go there. People from all over the world accepted his challenge and posted their videos on Twitter.
58. Which of the following belong to microadventures? Check and choose the right answer.
① walk across India
② sleep outside on a hill
③ go away for a weekend
④ swim in the River Thames
⑤ row from Africa to South America
⑥ hike around the road around London
A. ①③④⑤ B. ①④⑤⑥ C. ②③④⑥ D. ②③⑤⑥
59. What can we know about Humphreys’personality according to the passage?
A. Brave, creative and active. B. Proud, humorous and kind.
C. Careful, quiet and hard-working. D. Confident, strict and warm-hearted.
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Big Challenge B. An Amazing Travel
C. Keep a Trip Record D. Go for a Microadventure
C
Today, by carefully choosing dog parents, humans have created many different kinds of dog. Each kind has its own look and talents, and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of“a dog’s life”in the human world.
Today, many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy（治疗）dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace, which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and, some suggest, even help them get better.
Today, some beagles（小猎犬）work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigade’s job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal（非法的）fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. The beagles do the job far better than any human could.
While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many of these pets spend their days playing, learning to follow, or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so.
Whether as workers or objects of affection（钟情）, dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog’s special place as“man’s best friend”has allowed it to survive（存活）in a human world.
61. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Hospitals need many special dogs. B. Dogs can take care of patients.
C. Patients need love in the hospital. D. Doctors are too busy to see patients.
62. What does the underlined word“domestic”in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Trained. B. Smart. C. Hungry. D. Valuable.
63. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To ask people to treat dogs as their own children.
B. To explain why humans need beagles in their work.
C. To tell people about the history of dogs’development.
D. To show a good relationship between dogs and humans.
64. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?


Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base（基座）was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move.
The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him“the father of modern-day engineering”.
We know about al- Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. They include clocks and hand- washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works.
Many everyday things today—from toys to car engines（发动机）—still use al-Jazari’s ideas.
Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots.
Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant clock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al- Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again.
How Does the Elephant Clock Work?

A bowl with a small hole floats（浮）in a water tank（水箱）inside the elephant’s body. As the bowl slowly sinks（下沉）, it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour.
Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound.
The ball then drops out of a falcon’s mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon’s head to move down, and the dragon’s tail pulls the water bowl back up.
Phoenix
Falcon Dragon


Pen Vase

Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon’s mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more balls in the top of the clock.
65. Why is al-Jazari called“the father of modern-day engineering”?
A. His ideas are still widely used in machines.
B. The elephant clock is an amazing invention.
C. His inventions include some parts of modern robots.
D. His book about machines is still popular with readers.
66. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank“ ”in Paragraph 3.
A. He became famous when he was a young man.
B. He invented a lot of everyday machines in history.
C. It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes.
D. People in Turkey enjoy reading his books in their free time.
67. What does the underlined word“This”in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A. The pen moves. B. The ball drops.
C. The bowl sinks completely. D. The bowl pulls the rope.
68. How does the elephant clock work? Put the steps in the correct order.
a. The ball drops into the vase.
b. The ball drops into the dragon’s mouth.
c. The elephant driver moves and makes a sound.
d. After 30 minutes, a ball starts to fall from the top.
e. The bowl moves down in the water and pulls on ropes.
A. b-d-a-c-e B. e-d-b-a-c C. a-e-b-d-c D. c-a-d-e-b

Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic（基因的）, while their personalities, intelligence, and other differences between them are an effect of their environment. Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries（界限）between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（领养）as babies
and raised by different couples. When the Jims finally met at age 39, they discovered they had plenty in common. Both were six feet tall, 180 pounds. They had the same smile and the same voice. When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr. invited the Jim twins to his lab, people there found it very hard to tell them apart.

But the similarities didn’t stop at the physical. They’d both had dogs named Toy. They had both married women named Linda, and then their marriage broke up. They’d both been policemen, enjoyed music, and left love notes around the house for their wives. They had so much in common, it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences（巧合）.
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested. When they compared the twins’IQ scores, Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion（结论）. They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education. It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
However, genes can’t control everything, argues geneticist Danielle Reed, who also studies twins. Reed’s research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA, environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves, making even identical twins into very different people.“What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen,”She explains.“Things written in pen you can’t change. That’s DNA. But things written in pencil you can.”
69. How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are mentioned? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
70. What did Bouchard’s study find about the twins?
A. Each seemed to be as tall as their twin.
B. Each had the same hobby as their twin.
C. Each had almost the same ability as their twin.
D. Each had about the same IQ level as their twin.
71. What is Reed’s opinion about genes and environment?
A. Only DNA has an effect on our development.
B. Environment could possibly change some things about us.
C. There are no boundaries between genes and environment.
D. Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA.
72. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The way the DNA behaves.
B. The similarities between the Jim twins.
C. The connection between intelligence and families.
D. The effects of genes on personality and intelligence.

The Value of Negative Results
We all avoid failure（失败）, and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. What does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist（存在） without the other.
Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often unwilling to accept failure because our professional fame depends on success. 73 In the past ten years, for example, some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests. It is believed that scientists can learn from
“negative（负面的）”results and that this can finally lead to positive results.
74 The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute（ 机 构 ）of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn’t in banking. Similarly, Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study the drugs（药物）that don’t work.
In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes, in part because the product’s makers learned from their mistakes. 75 The product, though unique （独特的） at the time, was expensive and heavy; besides, some of its most important
features（特点）didn’t work properly. As a result, it became one of Apple’s biggest failures, and in 1998, the company stopped selling it. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed in the product and he began to find out ways of improving it. In time, this led to the production of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.
76 Not only should we try to learn from it; if we want to succeed, we must also be
persistent（执着的）. Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn’t available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end, the effort became successful.
A. One truly cannot exist without the other.
B. We are brave enough to face difficulties.
C. In the early 1990s, Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton.
D. The business world already understands the value of negative results.
E. The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the world.
F. However, things are slowly changing, especially in business and science.
G. The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure.
西
All in all, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. 77

In 2019, a group of friends and I took part in an event in India. The event was to raise money for a charity. About 30 teams attended the event. Each team had a car, which they drove to the east of India. The journey took eight days.
We used a website to ask our friends and family for donations. It was really easy to receive their donations online. Our team raised around $4,000, and in total, the event raised around $17,000.
And of course, the journey itself was lots of fun, too. We drove for about twelve hours every day, and saw some beautiful things along the way. We even managed to have a game of football with the local people! It was an experience I will never forget, and hopefully the money we raised will go some way to making people’s lives better.

A Possible Version :
Failure can lead to success. We should study it and learn why we make mistakes, then find ways to solve our problems. Also, we should never give up!
I once tried out for a speech competition. I practiced it many times. Unexpectedly, I failed. I’ve
never spoken in front of the public ever since.
Apple’s story is quite an inspiration for me. What can I do to make it? First, be confident and try to speak in public places. Second, ask my teachers or friends for some advice and improve my language skills. Finally, be persistent and practice speeches over and over again.
I’m sure I will succeed some day.
