Qingming Festival, which falls on April 5 this year, is known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. The festival always appears about the beginning of April when spring has come. Not only is it a period for commemorating the dead, it is also a time for people to go out and enjoy nature. Where is the best place to go during the festival? Here are 3 popular tourist attractions.
Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area
In the spring, the sight of the Jiuzhaigou Valley is refreshing and touching. The ice and snow begin to melt, water and streams begin to flow and mountain flowers blossom. The air is filled with the fragrance of spring. The soft and lazy spring sun kisses the surface of the lake and new growth.
Huanghuacheng Great Wall
Huanghuacheng is the only lakeside part of the Great Wall in Beijing. It is one of the most popular destinations for a Great Wall hiking tour.

Of all the notable mountains in China, Mount Huangshan is probably the most famous and is found in the southern part of East China's Anhui province. It is known for its breathtaking natural scenery.

September 23 usually means another new season has started，but what exactly you should call that season depends on where in the world you are and whom you ask．In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name：autumn．But if you go across the Atlantic，you’ll find that people use both fall and autumn when referring to this time of year，making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names．So what is it about the season that makes it so special?
According to Dictionary.com，fall isn’t a modem nickname that follows the more traditional autumn．The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years of each other．
Before either word appeared，the season between summer and winter was known as harvest，or hærfest in Old English．The word is of Germanic stock and means“picking”“plucking’’or“reaping”，all act of gathering and preserving crops before winter．
In the 1500s，English speakers began referring to the seasons separating the cold and warm months as either the fall of the leaf or the spring of the leaf，or fall and spring for short．Both terms were simple，but for some reason，only spring had staying power in Britain．By the end of the 1600s，autumn，from the French word autompne and the Latin autunmus, had overtaken fall as the standard British term for the third season．
Around the same time England adopted autumn，the first-ever British American colonists were voyaging to North America．With them they brought the words fall and autumn，and while the former fell out of fashion overseas，it solidified itself in the local vernacular by the time America won its independence．Today，using both words to describe the season before winter is still uniquely American behavior．
4．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．Draw out the topic of the passage．
B．Explain the difference between fall and autumn．
C．Point out the importance of English vocabulary．
D．Serve as the background of the passage．
5．According to the passage，what can we learn about“fall”?
A．It is spoken by the English． B．Americans only use“fall”．
C．It is short for the fall of the leaf D．It was first used by Germans．
6．What does the underlined word“reaping”in Paragraph 3mean?
A．Cutting． B．Harvesting． C．Jumping． D．Falling．
7．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Science． B．Gardening． C．Culture． D．Tourism．
C
Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.
In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?
Jane Austen is very clear. It’s for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels “superior” to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.
Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for whom they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.
8. What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?
A. She lived a fashionable life. B. She wrote about the life of the rich.
C. She knew exactly human virtues. D. She was nicer to less selfish people.
9. What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?
A. He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end
B. He is handsome, rich and rather modest.
C. He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.
D. He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.
10. Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?
A. A person that you like for who he or she is.
B. A person with whom you feel really relaxed.
C. A person making you become a better man or woman.
D. A person who does something similar to you.
11. What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?
A. Improve yourself with your lover’s help. B. Accept the people you love totally.
C. Earn much money to make people love you. D. Find your true love with pride and prejudice.
D
The idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to move AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter.
It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2020 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.
“Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA.
“Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” ---Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory.
“2020 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind.” ---Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.
12. What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?
A. People didn't expect AI to develop so rapidly.
B. The idea of AI just came up recently.
C. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.
D. It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality.
13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being?
A. Alan Turing. B. Georges Nahon. C. Mark Michalski. D. Alejandro Troccoli.
14. What is Georges Nahon’s job?
A. Executive director of a hospital. B. President of a research laboratory.
C. Chairman of an energy corporation. D. Chief operating officer of a newspaper.
15. How is the passage developed?
A. By explaining cause and effect. B. By presenting research results.
C. By listing some predictions. D. By describing personal experiences.
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。
Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. 16 It was e-sports(电子竞技), or competitive computer gaming.
Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional gamers, playing games as their full-time job. 17 They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.
18 Are players athletes? Some say no. E-sports players don’t need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies e-sports as kinds of games, not as sports.
But others say yes: e-sports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps e-sports should be too.
19 And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics?
For many e-sports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that e-sports are growing in popularity and importance. 20
A. But are e-sports really sports?
B. But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match.
C. It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
D. All like playing computer games.
E. If e-sports are not as important as sports now, they definitely will be in the near future.
F. In fact, China and South Korea do classify e-sports as sports.
G. It is certain that e-sports will come into the 2024 Olympics.

Good afternoon, everyone!
It’s a great honor for me to speak here. Today, I’d like to express my gratitude to my English teacher. She showed the endless patience when I asked her questions. So occupied was she with helping me that she sometimes skipped her meals. Deeply inspired, I became more confident in English and my English improved a lot.
I owe my progress to my English teacher, without whose unselfish guidance I wouldn’t have made such rapid progress. In my daily life, I will do my part to help others in need. Here I appeal to everyone to show gratitude to the world.
Thank you for listening.
