第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
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.
21．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.
22．Where should you go if you want to enjoy a Christmas without snow?
A．Quebec city. B．Edinburgh. C．Zurich. D．Sydney.
23．Where is this text most likely from?
A．A guidebook. B．A diary.
C．A novel. D．A research paper.
B
When Nolan was diagnosed with a rare cancer in May 2015, his doctors didn't think he'd make it through the first round of chemotherapy. But Nolan maintained a positive attitude. He says, "If you go into a negative headspace during treatment，you're giving yourself an emotional cancer along with the physical disease that is destroying your body.”
Nolan remained optimistic throughout four rounds of chemotherapy and nine months of being in the hospital，although he admits he had his dark days. He acknowledged, "If I slipped into a dark place, it wouldn't be good.” After his first round of chemotherapy, Nolan was surprised to hear from his doctors that there was no cancer present in his body. Even with this good news, Nolan still had to complete three additional rounds of treatment and a bone marrow(骨髓)transplant，which occurred in February 2016.
Nolan says that before his transplant, the doctors weren't sure if he was going to survive the next four weeks. However, he drew strength from the love and support of his friends during treatment，who would visit weekly.
In January 2017, Nolan came to CancerCare and joined a support group led by an oncology(肿瘤学)social worker. William Goeren, who is great about keeping the conversation going. Nolan found another home and a source of community in his support group, especially since three of the other men had also had transplants. In the group, they talk about the cancer and also discuss other things, like family or life in the city.
Since completing his treatment, Nolan has returned to work as a musician and a conductor in the New York City area. He previously worked as a musical director and performed in Chicago, Illinois, as well as abroad in Hong Kong. In New York, he also organizes groups to perform and creates different arrangements for orchestras and ensembles to perform.
24.（错题再现） Which of the following best explains “headspace" underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Opinion. B. Mood. C. Situation. D. Manner.
25. What do we know about Nolan?
A. He was always optimistic. B. His doctors wrote a letter to him.
C. His condition improved surprisingly. D. The later rounds of treatment are useless.
26. （错题再现）What does Nolan and other members do in the support group?
A. They talk about their illness and other issues. B. They help those who are in great need.
C. They try to keep the conversation going. D. They try to find more people with cancer.
27. What is the key to Nolan's recovery according to the author?
A. Four rounds of chemotherapy. B. Drug treatment and operation.
C. Strong will and doctors' help. D. Optimism and support from friends.

Space Hotel Promises Guests A Truly Out-Of-This-World Vacation
Looking for a true out-of-this-world vacation? Then you are in luck! On Thursday. April 5, Texas-based start-up Orion Span announced they were taking reservations for Aurora(极光)Station, the world's first luxury hotel in space, which is expected to launch in 2021 and begin welcoming visitors by 2022.
The pill-shaped space station, which begins construction in 2019, will measure 43.5 feet long and 14.1 feet wide-about the size of a large private jet's cabin-when completed. It will accommodate four guests in two private suites and two crew members, most likely former astronauts. Hovering about 200 miles above Earth, Aurora Station will circle the planet once every 90 minutes, enabling guests to enjoy 16 spectacular sunrises and sunsets daily, as well as scores of the breathtaking northern and southern auroras that the hotel is named after.
While admiring the beauty of our planet, tourists can cat non-astronaut food and drinks or entertain themselves with playing cards. Those hoping to do something more worthwhile will be able to engage in astronaut-like experiments such as growing food in a special environment. The Wi-Fi enabled spacecraft will make it easy for guests to share their experiences with friends and family members on Earth. At the end of the week and half-long vacation, returning guests will be treated to a special “hero's welcome", similar to the one experienced by astronauts returning from a real mission.
Before the once-in-a-lifetime trip, guests will have to undergo the three-month-long special training learning how to move in a weightless environment, along with the basics of spaceflight and orbital mechanics. Also, before you start packing your bags, you will have to pay $ 9.5 million for the 12-day round-trip vacation.
While several companies are planning to build hotels in space, Orion Span hopes to transform sections of used rockets floating in space into hotel rooms, instead of crowding the already messy skies with additional man-made objects.
28. What can be learnt about Aurora Station?
A. People can visit it now.
B. It's construction will last for about 5 years.
C. It can only hold four people in this station.
D. It looks like a pill with the size of a small plane.
29.（错题再现） Why is the station named Aurora Station?
A. Because guests can enjoy spectacular auroras of the Earth.
B. Because the station will give off auroras while travelling.
C. Because the station will run around the auroras of the Earth.
D. Because the hotel is lit up by the auroras of the Earth.
30. What can guests do in a space hotel?
A. Stay there as long as they like. B. Cook meals like they are at home.
C. Communicate with their family. D. Receive welcome as a real hero.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. There is little room for people to live on the earth.
B. Too many space crafts have aroused people's concern.
C. Space hotels will be necessary in the near future.
D. Used rockets floating in space are easy to be recycled.
D
Teens and preteens who start the school day really early tend to weigh slightly more than those who start later. That's the finding of a new study of nearly 30,000 Canadians between the ages of 10 and 18. These data are the latest evidence that starting school too early can harm health.
"We know from earlier studies that when school starts too early, kids can't get the sleep they need," says Genevieve Gariepy. She works at McGill University in Montreal，Canada. Getting too little sleep can put kids at risk for a number of problems. Sleepy teens are more likely to be overweight, to have trouble concentrating and to struggle in school. They also are at higher risk of feeling depressed, using alcohol or drugs and getting in car accidents.
As an epidemiologist(流行病学家), Gariepy is interested in patterns of disease. She studies teen obesity, or extreme overweight. In this study, she wanted to know how earlier school start times might be linked to weight.
"Overweight and obesity in adolescents is a big problem in North America,” she says. The number of overweight kids has grown over the past 30 years. About one in three U. S. and Canadian teens are now overweight or obese. Kids who don't sleep enough may be at higher risk. So Gariepy decided to find more about the impact of school start times.
Her team collected start times of 362 Canadian schools and found that among 6" to 10" graders, those who started school earlier tended to be slightly heavier for their height. Every 10-minute delay in school start time was linked, on average, to a slightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height. But it's not clear that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight. To know for sure, researchers would want to compare the same kids before and after changing to a later school start time.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the main topic. B. To show concern for teenagers.
C. To show the importance of the study. D. To offer advice on school starting time.
33. What does Gariepy want to find out in her research?
A. How to rid adolescents of being overweight.
B. The links between school start times and teen obesity.
C. Why more and more students are becoming obese.
D. The most suitable sleep time for school students.
34. What can we infer about the study of Gariepy and her team?
A. A 10-minute delay is enough. B. Schools may value its conclusion.
C. Its conclusion is reliable. D. More work remains to be done.
35（错题再现）. What can be a suitable title of this text?
A. Experts Worry about the Health of Adolescents
B. Overweight Becomes Common among Teenagers
C. Study Links Weight to School Starting Time
D. Students Tend to Sleep Less Than Before

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You may say that rain comes from clouds, but you can also say that rain is clouds. 36 , you should know the mechanism through which water moves from the Earth to the atmosphere and back again.
Dew point is the temperature at which water vapor begins to condense(凝结)and becomes water droplets that can fall as rain. Dew point can vary anywhere from the 30s(Fahrenheit)to, on rare occasions, the 80s.
37 .Once the air has cooled past the "dew point", it condenses around a nucleus, which are usually tiny particles of dust, smoke or even salt that are floating in the air. Then tiny water droplets are formed. 38 . If you pay close attention to clouds in the sky, you'll see that they're constantly shrinking and growing.
Water vapor that has formed clouds is on its way to becoming rain, but it's not there yet. For now, the water droplets are so tiny that the air currents keep them in the air, just as swirling particles of dust can stay in the air. 39 .
When water droplets combine with one another, they become heavier than the uplift of the air around them. Eventually they fall down through the cloud as rain. 40 .They attract more water vapor to themselves and grow quickly until they're heavy enough to fall as snow.
A. Rain cloud is formed when there is enough water in the air
B. As warm air rises with the water vapor it contains, it cools
C. If you are curious about what kind of cloud will become rain
D. Sometimes the droplets rise high enough to freeze into ice crystals
E. The tiny water droplets that initially form are what you see as clouds
F. If you want a better understanding of why rain comes down from clouds
G. As those droplets continue to rise, they have two ways to come back to Earth

Dear Jim,
I am very glad to have received your letter, in which you want to know how I spent my winter vacation this year. Here is all about it.
As you know, our winter vacation is normally a great time for the Spring Festival, during which time, we will visit friends and relatives besides finishing our homework. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we had an extended and special vacation this year. To fight the epidemic, some cities and even some villages were locked down. We were asked to observe home quarantine to avoid being infected. I stayed at home all day long, sleeping, watching TV, checking news on the phone, WeChatting and doing some physical exercise. Later on,we had our online class on Dingtalk to keep up with our studying tasks.
Thanks to the timely measures taken by the government, the epidemic is now gone and we are happily back at school. This vacation is sure to stay in our mind all our lives.
With best regards!
Yours,
Li Hua
