    You might have heard a lot about ancient towns and ancient cities in China. Here, we list several of the most beautiful ancient villages in China.

Baoshan Stone City, Yunnan Province

Baoshan Stone City was built on a huge mushroom-shaped rock, and only has about one hundred houses. The houses are laid out in an orderly way, built on the rock, and linked by stone steps.

Tuvas is an ancient minority group. They traditionally lived as hunter-gathers. You can visit a local family, go herding (放牧) with the locals and experience the peaceful ancient village life.

22．Where can you admire the houses like castles?

23．What can we infer about the villages mentioned in the text?

B

    In the 1970s, chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis developed the Gaia hypothesis（盖亚假说）: all organic and inorganic components on the planet are part of one self-regulating system, working to maintain life on earth. Scientists agree that we need take significant action to control emissions（排放）. But where scientists and popular movements have thus far failed to convince the world to act, it seems that Mother Earth may have succeeded, with the never-before-seen COVID-19.

COVID-19 is estimated to have reduced carbon dioxide emission in China by a quarter. It caused factories to shut down, and slowed construction activities. Recent analysis shows a 70 percent drop in flights in February compared with January. And even getting into a car and going to a restaurant, shopping mall, or concert poses a risk of infection, which means that many people are choosing to stay at home and are consuming less, resulting in a significant reduction of their carbon footprints.

Of course, China and the rest of the world will hope to restart normal production and consumption as soon as the virus is under control. However, some positive measures have already been taken as a result of COVID-19. As the virus is thought to originate from wildlife, Chinese authorities are revising laws and regulations regarding the country's massive wildlife trade in order to prevent future epidemics（流行病）—a win for biodiversity.

The deaths of thousands of people worldwide should also serve as a lasting reminder of the fragility of life. We humans frequently ignore or repress uncomfortable thoughts of death and extinction. We would rather get on with our lives as usual, thinking everything will somehow work out in the end. Only in the face of suffering and death are we forced to view the bigger, longer-term perspective—and this is what is needed in order to react appropriately to climate change. COVID-19 has sent alarm bells ringing throughout the world.

24．What does the author mention the Gaia hypothesis for?

A．To tell the main idea of the text.

B．To introduce the topic for discussion.

C．To show the need to protect the planet.

D．To stress the importance of self-regulating system.

25．What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The unexpected benefit of COVID-19.

B．The economic influence of COVID-19.

C．The preventive measures for COVID-19.

D．The possible causes of COVID-19.

26．What does the underlined word "repress" in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Control. B．Hold.

C．Vary. D．Test.

27．What does the writer want to tell us in the text?

A．It's urgent to fight the virus.

B．The virus has caused many deaths.

C．Life is fragile in face of disasters.

D．Action is needed for climate change.

C

    Macinley Butson was just 16 years old when she first had the idea to try and protect women from more — than — necessary radiation during breast cancer treatments—and now, her invention could be a game-changer in the medical field.

Butson, whose father works in medical physics, has always been interested in science. But she only began researching the harmful side effects of radiation treatment after her father discussed his experience with ineffective cancer treatments in his work. Since Butson had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to conduct her own research on the subject. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals, but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand.

She then turned to the Internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals. As she went deeper in her research, she stumbled upon a key bit of information: copper （铜）has been shown to be effective at protecting skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing a film on medieval wars in her 10th grade history class. When she saw the scaled （鳞片） patterns of the mail （盔甲）,she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched videos on how to put together tiny scales. She made her own flexible scale-mail which she now calls SMART: Scale Mail for Radiation Therapy.

When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting, it reduced surface exposure to unnecessary radiation by 75%. And now Butson is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use.

28．Why did Macinley Butson start her research?

A．To assist her father with his work. B．To save her relative from cancer.

C．To publish some articles in journals. D．To find effective ways to treat cancer.

29．What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Came across. B．Missed.

C．Passed on. D．Required.

30．Where did Macinley Buston get inspiration for her invention?

A．Videos online. B．Scientific journals.

C．History textbooks. D．Soldiers defensive clothes.

31．Which of the following best describes Macinley Buston?

A．Stubborn. B．Creative.

C．Selfless. D．Considerate.

D

    If you live in southwest Virginia, don’t be surprised at the sight of a drone(无人机) winging its way, doing airborne delivery over your neighborhood.

On October 20,2019,wing,an American multinational company, began the most advanced trials of commercial drone delivery in Virginia. Residents can now use a smartphone app to order items from Wing partners such as Sugar Magnolia. A Wing drone never sets down at destinations, instead gently lowering the package with a rope outside the customer's door.

Though Wing is the first American company to receive Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)approval to use commercial drones as a widespread service. it is not the only one. On October 22,2019,multinational delivery company UPS, which had also received FAA approval for its drone fleet, announced it would soon begin trial deliveries of goods from health care company CVS. Meanwhile, ridesharing company, Uber, which had partnered with McDonald's, hoped to use its drones to deliver food to hungry customers in San Diego, CA, before the end of 2019. Amazon also plans on testing its trial deliveries of goods in a yet-to-be-determined location in the upcoming months.

Every company's drones can carry packages weighing up to five pounds, and the series of trial are hortative, but widespread drone delivery still has many challenges. These include basic issues like finding places for drones to land, reducing noise pollution, and even ensuring the drones don't run into each other while airborne.

To help sped up the process, NASA announced the Urban Air Mobility Grand Challenge. The competition challenges airspace service providers to find creative solutions to the issues, so that drone deliveries can become a reality soon. “We are moving fast,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “We want to see by 2028 at least one city--maybe more than one--have the ability to control hundreds of drone delivery systems. They could be carrying goods, doing thousands of missions every day.”

32．What can be inferred from the passage？

A．It's impossible to crash other drones during the delivery.

B．People can order items from Wing directly with an app.

C．More companies are expected to try out their drone delivery.

D．Drones deliver items by gently bringing them down to the ground.

33．What does the underlined part “hortative” in Paragraph 4 mean？

A．Encouraging. B．Relaxing.

C．Creative. D．Relative.

34．What's Jim Bridenstine's expectation of drone delivery?

A．To increase the speed of airborne delivery.

B．To see drone delivery systems widely used.

C．To be able to control the airline system.

D．To provide more solutions to goods delivery.

35．Which is the best title for the text?

A．The Future of Drone Delivery

B．How to Achieve Drone Delivery in 2028

C．The Advantages of Using Drone Delivery

D．Drone Delivery May Become a Reality in the US

While we are    54    the “Like” button on a junior-level employee’s one-year anniversary, we jump to be one in a few hundreds to offer    55    on a senior-level leader’s one-year completion. However, I think our precious “Like” for the employee    56    a lot and encourages him, while, on the other hand, it is    57    many hundreds and is not    58    noticed by the leader.

Encourage new talents and    59    them. If we do not exhibit this socially, I am sure we will not    60    it in our job either.

Our over-use of electricity is a big problem. It contributed to global warming，what is something that we really should be worried about. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can stop it. Not only that, but as if we continue to use a same large amount of energy we will soon run out of it. How would we survive in a world with electricity？I think we should start preparing for it now. Cut back on our use of electricity would save energy resources effective so that they could last for longer. I know for sure that I can cut down our use in electricity. And if everyone do his or her best, we can make a big difference.

Dear Jim,

How are you doing these days? Having got low scores in writing in recent English exams, I'm writing to desperately ask for your help.

To begin with, in my writing there are always some unbearable spelling and grammar mistakes. What's worse, I have no idea about what to write and how to use expressions. On top of that, little progress has been made in this part in spite of the time and efforts I devoted to practicing writing. Facing these difficulties, I've been confused and worried. So could you be so kind as to introduce some good ways? I'm sure to have it improved with your timely help.

Best wishes.

Yours.
