阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and traditions. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.
21. Why can tea find its way into various food cultures?
A. It originates in Asia.
B. It forms different ceremonies.
C. It gets people connected easily.
D. It allows people to sit together.
22. What do Chinese and Japanese tea cultures have in common according to the text?
A. They have a long history.
B. They are used in medicine.
C. They are famous for ground green tea.
D. They’ve long gained worldwide recognition.
23. Why are the Brits keen on tea in the afternoon?
A. To observe a tradition. B. To bring out respect
C. To show hospitality. D. To get new energy.
B
I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another – or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.
24. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?
A. How the author started offering rides.
B. The value of the author’s actions.
C. An old lady who impressed the author.
D. An accident that happened 40 years ago.
25. What does the author like most about her ride offers?
A. Helping people who contribute to society.
B. People accepting her offer without hesitation.
C. Chatting with her passengers.
D. Making friends with her passengers.
26. What does the author plan to do?
A. Become a taxi driver after retirement.
B. Continue driving people to their destinations.
C. Wait to be offered a ride at a bus stop.
D. Share her stories with more people.
27. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Elderly people need more care and support.
B. It is important to find a purpose in life.
C. Offering rides to strangers involves risks.
D. Always believe in the goodness in people.
C
Have you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity (名人) talking about a product? These promotions are actually a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers influence what you buy?
Human desire for social positions and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us willing to be “socially influenced”. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity they admire to launch or sell a product. So, what do these promotions actually do?
Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform (平台) they operate on, and therefore can create attractive content that not only sticks to the brand image, but develops their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.
Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to In Moment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report, 77% of buyers have been faithful to a brand for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of young people. A popular celebrity can target key groups of people and talk or blog about a product, which can create an immediate and lasting bond with the consumers.
Lastly, influencers can improve customers buying habits with seemingly “unbiased opinions”. We are more likely to respond to “peer (同辈) recommendation” than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a “friend” who can make us less likely to doubt about what we are seeing.
So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully designed marketing strategy which targets your needs. If you find yourself thinking about a product you’ve seen on social media, you may have been well influenced.
28. Why do companies invite celebrities to promote products?
A. Because celebrities want to make more money.
B .Because consumers like to share similarities with celebrities.
C. Because celebrities can improve the companies’ public images.
D. Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.
29. According to the text, which strategy is often used by influencers?
A. Setting up operation platforms.
B. Taking advantage of their popularity.
C. Sending gifts to customers.
D. Recommending products to their consumers.
30.What does the underlined word “unbiased” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Supportive B. Original. C. Effective. D. Objective.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How social influencers affect our buying habits.
B. How social media influences our lifestyle.
C. How celebrities earn reputations.
D. How social media makes ads.
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them .
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors, ” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment ( InSPIRE ) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low - impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low - impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U . S . agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator- friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities —and now there are guidelines for solar farms .
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator - friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
32. What do solar developers often ignore?
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
33. What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
34. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To limit solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development

It has been shown that watching English movie trailers (预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. 36
The first step is to find them. Go to some overseas video websites and do a search for something like “official trailer”. Several film trailers will appear. 37 Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are. These films are usually
humorous and relatable. To find animated films, try doing a search for something like “animated
official trailer”.
Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions (字幕), which you will use later. You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video. It may be listed as “CC” or something
else. Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on
some overseas video websites. 38
Next, watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions. Try to understand what the
story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details. 39 It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.
40 Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help
you in several ways. You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing,
make clearer any dialogue you do not understand, and connect the sound of words with their spellings. You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone.

A. So choose newer videos.
B. You can choose some that look interesting.
C. They may sound a little strange at a slower speed.
D. With this method, you are testing your English skills.
E. Then watch the video again, this time with closed captions.
F. Besides, try using your notebook as you learn English in your everyday life.
G. Now let’s talk about steps you can take to get the most out of watching them.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Everything about moving day was a puzzle, I didn’t know anything about our new building on a strange new street. Our old life was broken into pieces and packed up in boxes. I wondered if it would ever fit back together again. Mom introduced me to our new neighbors, the Chens. Mrs. Chen Chen worked with Mom at the job she’d just started. Mr Chen was a famous craftsman (匠人) from China.
Mom said it was a fresh start, but it didn’t feel that way to me. I just wanted things to go back to how they had been before.
After the first day at my new school, I walked home alone. Mom had told me she had to work. I was still hoping she’d meet me after the bell. I had to open the door myself with the new key. I felt a bit hungry and went straight into the kitchen, ripping (撕开) tape from the packed boxes while I searched for a clean plate. My fingers slipped, and something went crashing to the ground .
“Benjamin!” cried Mom from the doorway. I didn’t hear her come in. “What just broke?” she asked, kneeling to pick up the pieces. In her hands, I recognized the shattered pieces. It was Grandma’s bowl. “I can’t believe you broke this,” she said.
“Well, I can’t believe we have to live here now! I can’t believe I have to switch schools, and I can’t believe you didn’t even meet me after my first day!” I ran into my room, slamming the door behind me.
The broom swept across the kitchen floor. Then I heard the click of Mom’s bedroom door closed behind her. I sneaked (溜) out into the kitchen and found the fragments in the dustbin. There were so many pieces, but I thought that maybe I could put them back together. Turning the pieces over, I tried to match them, but in vain.
“I am sorry I yelled,” said Mom, as she opened her door. “Please just throw out the pieces. We can’t make a fresh start with broken things.”
As I wandered down the hall, lost in thought, Mr. Chen was emptying his garbage.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
“Are you sure you want to throw that out?” he asked.




I brought the repaired bowl into her room.

Hello, everyone! It is my great honor to offer my thoughts about Senior Two. Personally, there are several important aspects that you need to focus on throughout the second year of your senior high school life .
First of all, every second counts for Senior Two students. Setting a future goal helps you keep focused and stick to what really matters. Secondly, as our school life is becoming more and more challenging, not only must you work hard to acquire as much knowledge as possible, but you also have to foster efficient and effective learning methods and habits. In addition, getting actively involved in class and reviewing what has been taught after class are really beneficial to you. Last but not least, working out every day and having a balanced diet can ensure your health.
I believe we all can achieve our dreams as long as we make enough preparations.

Come.” I entered his apartment, Mr Chen spread the broken pieces out like a jigsaw puzzle. After working out how they all fit together, he put his gloves on and started to rebuild the bowl, filling in the crack lines with special paint. Finally, the bowl was whole again. He laid the “new” bowl on my palm. I held it gently and admired it for long. Slightly different, it was as beautiful as before. No sooner had I thanked him than I I rushed back home to show it to my mom.
