The Amazing Penguin Rescue
In the summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins’ habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance of survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.
A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn’t believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(尖声叫). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn’t easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.
While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis(危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil’s path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn’t have enough resources to save them.
One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harm’s way Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.
The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.
24. The African penguins were in danger because of ________.
A. a knock by a ship B. a change of habitats
C. a spill of oil D. a lack of help
25. When walking into the rescue center, the author felt ________.
A. ambitious B. shocked C. hopeless D. inspired
26. The crisis was ended by ________.
A. moving the penguins from home B. cleaning the polluted habitat
C. asking more volunteers to help D. stopping the flow of the oil
27. The author mainly intends to tell us that ________.
A. we should unite to make the earth pollution-free
B. where there is a will there is a way
C. the future of wildlife is in our hands
D. many hands make great work

Garbage cans are not magical openings. Garbage does not disappear when you throw it in a can. Yet, the average American throws away about 1,600 pounds of waste each year. If there are no magical garbage fairies, where does it all go There are four methods of managing waste: recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Let's take a quick look at each.
Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example used paper can be turned into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials, and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting, processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves. Still, most people agree that recycling is better for the planet than landfilling.
Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is squeezed (挤压) together before it is thrown into the hole. In this way more garbage can fit in each landfill. Large liners are placed in the bottom of landfills so that poisonous garbage liquid doesn't get into the ground water. Sadly, these liners don't always work. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that garbage smells horrible. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for landfills.
Because of all the negative attention that landfilling has received, interest in composting has grown. Composting is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose. The product of this decomposition is post can be added to the soil to make the soil richer and better for growing crops.
One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas (沼气), and burn the fuel. The second is to burn the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power steam generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that incinerators destroy valuable resources that could be recycled.
Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can, what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your hands. You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone else deal with it. The choice is yours.
28. Why does the author mention magical garbage fairies in the first paragraph
A. To creatively support his argument with evidence.
B. To point out that garbage doesn't disappear by itself.
C. To make the language more attractive to please readers.
D. To draw attention to different kinds of garbage thrown away.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Some think recycling is a waste of time.
B. Incineration may destroy recyclable resources.
C. Finding new locations is the focus of landfilling.
D. The purpose of a compost pile is to make soil rich.
30. According to the passage, landfilling_____________________.
A. involves burying garbage in a hole B. reduces the horrible smells
C. squeezes garbage together D. protects ground water
31 Which of the following could be the best title for this passage
A. Magic: Bringing Back What Was Once Lost
B. Deal with the garbage: Which is Best for You
C. Methods of Waste Management: Advantages and Disadvantages
D. Do Your Part: How to Save the Earth by Recycling and Composting
D
Awe is not an everyday emotion. You don't wake up awestruck. A satisfying lunch doesn't leave you filled with awe. Even a great day is unlikely to leave you in a state of breathtaking, all-knowing fear and trembling
Then what is awe Psychologists Dacher Kettner and Jonathan Haidt suggested that awe typically includes feelings of grandness. That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person's self or experience. And it usually helps expand the person's understanding of the world. For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. Or it might come from listening to a symphony that contains both shockingly loud and touchingly quiet notes. People can be awe-inspiring, too: think of meeting a political leader whose power seems limitless.
In order to find out more about the mysterious feeling, the psychologists laid out a research plan. In the years since, they and other researchers have been testing awe. What is it How docs it work What seems awesome, and why For the first time, they’re starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us.
When psychologists first started studying awe, one of the unanswered questions was: What do we look like when we're feeling it Emotions come with facial expressions.
Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit. And they were on track. When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes. They also opened they their mouths and dropped their jaws.
Another question was the purpose of the emotion. "We developed emotions to help us deal with and survive certain dangers," explains Craig Anderson, a student in Keltner's lab, “When people are scared, they freeze or run away. People that behaved like that tended to survive long enough." In the same way, awe should have some sort of reason for existing.
So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they fee so, they are more willing to use it to help others. The study also shows that awe promotes generosity. it improves people's moral decision making. A paper still under review indicates that awe can make people more modest, too.
“We actually experience awe a lot more often than we think," says one of the researchers, Rudd. “We meet something in the big wide world, our minds open as we look for an explanation,and as a result we open up to connecting to other people But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it's going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you're going to be more likely to run into something that's awe-inspiring.
32. According to Keltner and Haidt, which of the following can most likely inspire awe
A. Eating Beijing duck at Quanjude Restaurant.
B Listening to a pleasant flute solo in a famous bar
C. Enjoying a sound sleep after an extremely tiring day
D. Seeing a huge elephant up close in its natural setting
33. What does the underlined part "they were on track" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. They came across unexpected data
B. They were anxious about the result
C. They changed their research methods
D. They were right about what they had thought
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. We should try to avoid awe because it can fill people with fear
B. Awe is a complicated feeling and no one can understand it
C. Awe is socially beneficial and we should be open to it
D We should try to feel awe because it helps us survive

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their cars wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them. ___35___Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ___36___ What's even better. wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: "I'm not available for chatting at the moment."

In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. ___39___And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange-suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.

Friends shows off their pets on wechat Moments. people walk dogs in the park and people watch videos of cats on line. Everywhere you look, people seem to be enjoying their pets. Indeed, they are an important part of our modern lives, even for people who don't own a pet.
A new report from August 15 sheds light on this trend. Asian Pet Show and online platform Goumin released the 2019 Chinese Pet industry White Paper. It shows that China's urban pet consumer market is expected to break through the 2 billion yuan threshold(门槛) this year, which the overall consumption scale reaching 202. 4 billion yuan. That means an increase of 18.5% over that of 2018. Young people in big cities are main contributors.
Most young people are suffering from great loneliness and pressure. Keeping pets will help them feel cosy and relaxed." wrote the report.
Many young people who leave their hometown to make a living in big cities have had pressure of living m a new place. After working all day in competitive environment, they have few friends and face high costs of living.
Claire Krisko from the Us is one of the many young people.She told Teen lnk, a website for the teenagers in the US, that she felt very lonely in her own city. To combat it, she bought a dog.
“After a hard day, seeing a happy face and a wagging(摇动的)tail, bounding (跳跃着跑) around the corner and running toward me will make my day better. I was no longer lonely. she said.
Apart from relieving loneliness, many scientific studies have shown that keeping a pet reduces stress and may improve overall health.
“Playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone and decreasing production of the stress hormone. These hormonal changes can help nervous people feel more relaxed and happy.” the BBC noted.
We always believe that pets have to live with humans but it seems that many of us can't live with humans but it seems that many of us can't live without furry companions.

【答案】1. which
2. will sound
3. driving
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了防止开车睡觉的预警系统。
【1题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句关系词。句意：2020年中国国际服务贸易博览会于9月4日至9日在北京举行，会上引入了防止人们在驾驶时打瞌睡的预警系统。分析句子可知，此句为非限定性定语从句，先行词为“the 2020 China International Fair for Trade in Services”，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【2题详解】
考查时态。句意：如果驾驶员处于疲劳状态，系统会发出警报，直到驾驶员睁开眼睛，开始以正常频率眨眼。分析句子可知，此处为if引导的条件状语从句，且为真实条件句，应遵循“主将从现”原则。故填will sound。
【3题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在未来，其他危险的驾驶行为，如不系安全带和开车时打电话，也可能被添加到这个预警系统中。分析句子可知，此处while 3 (drive)为分词作状语，drive与其逻辑主语the driver之间是主动关系，用现在分词。故填driving。

【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：回过头来阅读你自己描述在异国他乡一天的文字，你会意识到小细节是多么容易忘记。分析句子，可知谓语动词为makes，所以describe（描述）在句中用作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语words构成主动关系，使用现在分词作定语，修饰名词words，故填describing。
【6题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：这只需要一点小小的努力。主语it为单数，句子在描述客观事实，时态应为一般现在时，根据主谓一致原则，谓语动词用单数，故填requires。
【7题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：晚上睡觉前，我通常会抽出15到20分钟的时间，这迫使我做到简洁高效。分析句子，可知这是一个非限定性定语从句，先行词为前一句内容描述的这件事，关系词在从句中作主语，应使用which引导该从句，故填which。

【8题详解】
考查过去完成时。句意：这个宾馆俯瞰塞纳河，这条河流我在很多诗里读到过。分析句子可知，I ___1___ (read) about in so many poems 作定语从句修饰river，从句缺乏谓语，read动作发生在overlook之前，因此发生在过去的过去，故用过去完成时had read。
【9题详解】
考查副词。修饰动词run by用副词slowly。
【10题详解】
考查主语从句。I enjoyed most为主语从句，从句缺乏enjoy的宾语，故用引导词What。

The Amazing Penguin Rescue
In the summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins’ habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance of survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.
A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn’t believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(尖声叫). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn’t easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.
While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis(危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil’s path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn’t have enough resources to save them.
One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harm’s way Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.
The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.
24. The African penguins were in danger because of ________.
A. a knock by a ship B. a change of habitats
C. a spill of oil D. a lack of help
25. When walking into the rescue center, the author felt ________.
A. ambitious B. shocked C. hopeless D. inspired
26. The crisis was ended by ________.
A. moving the penguins from home B. cleaning the polluted habitat

B. where there is a will there is a way
C. the future of wildlife is in our hands
D. many hands make great work

Garbage cans are not magical openings. Garbage does not disappear when you throw it in a can. Yet, the average American throws away about 1,600 pounds of waste each year. If there are no magical garbage fairies, where does it all go There are four methods of managing waste: recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Let's take a quick look at each.
Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be turned into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials, and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting, processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves. Still, most people agree that recycling is better for the planet than landfilling.
Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is squeezed (挤压) together before it is thrown into the hole. In this way more garbage can fit in each landfill. Large liners are placed in the bottom of landfills so that poisonous garbage liquid doesn't get into the ground water. Sadly, these liners don't always work. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that garbage smells horrible. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for landfills.
Because of all the negative attention that landfilling has received, interest in composting has grown. Composting is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose. The product of this decomposition is post can be added to the soil to make the soil richer and better for growing crops.
One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas (沼气), and burn the fuel. The second is to burn the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power steam generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that incinerators destroy valuable resources that could be recycled.
Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can, what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your hands. You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone else deal with it. The choice is yours.
28. Why does the author mention magical garbage fairies in the first paragraph
A. To creatively support his argument with evidence.
B. To point out that garbage doesn't disappear by itself.
C. To make the language more attractive to please readers.
D. To draw attention to different kinds of garbage thrown away.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Some think recycling is a waste of time.
B. Incineration may destroy recyclable resources.
C. Finding new locations is the focus of landfilling.
D. The purpose of a compost pile is to make soil rich.
30. According to the passage, landfilling_____________________.
A involves burying garbage in a hole B. reduces the horrible smells
C. squeezes garbage together D. protects ground water
31. Which of the following could be the best title for this passage
A. Magic: Bringing Back What Was Once Lost
B. Deal with the garbage: Which is Best for You
C. Methods of Waste Management: Advantages and Disadvantages
D. Do Your Part: How to Save the Earth by Recycling and Composting

D
Awe is not an everyday emotion. You don't wake up awestruck. A satisfying lunch doesn't leave you filled with awe. Even a great day is unlikely to leave you in a state of breathtaking, all-knowing fear and trembling
Then what is awe Psychologists Dacher Kettner and Jonathan Haidt suggested that awe typically includes feelings of grandness. That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person's self or experience. And it usually helps expand the person's understanding of the world. For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. Or it might come from listening to a symphony that contains both shockingly loud and touchingly quiet notes. People can be awe-inspiring, too: think of meeting a political leader whose power seems limitless.
In order to find out more about the mysterious feeling, the psychologists laid out a research plan. In the years since, they and other researchers have been testing awe. What is it How docs it work What seems awesome, and why For the first time, they’re starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us.
When psychologists first started studying awe, one of the unanswered questions was: What do we look like when we're feeling it Emotions come with facial expressions.
Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit. And they were on track. When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes. They also opened they their mouths and dropped their jaws.
Another question was the purpose of the emotion. "We developed emotions to help us deal with and survive certain dangers," explains Craig Anderson, a student in Keltner's lab, “When people are scared, they freeze or run away. People that behaved like that tended to survive long enough." In the same way, awe should have some sort of reason for existing.
So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they fee so, they are more willing to use it to help others. The study also shows that awe promotes generosity. it improves people's moral decision making. A paper still under review indicates that awe can make people more modest, too.
“We actually experience awe a lot more often than we think," says one of the researchers, Rudd. “We meet something in the big wide world, our minds open as we look for an explanation,and as a result we open up to connecting to other people But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it's going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you're going to be more likely to run into something that's awe-inspiring.
32. According to Keltner and Haidt, which of the following can most likely inspire awe
A. Eating Beijing duck at Quanjude Restaurant.
B. Listening to a pleasant flute solo in a famous bar
C. Enjoying a sound sleep after an extremely tiring day
D. Seeing a huge elephant up close in its natural setting
33. What does the underlined part "they were on track" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. They came across unexpected data
B. They were anxious about the result
C They changed their research methods
D. They were right about what they had thought
34. What can we infer from the passage
A We should try to avoid awe because it can fill people with fear
B. Awe is a complicated feeling and no one can understand it
C. Awe is socially beneficial and we should be open to it
D. We should try to feel awe because it helps us survive
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是敬畏，敬畏给人类带来的积极影响以及人类对于敬畏所持态度。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person's self or experience.（这意味着敬畏来自于比个人或经历更大的事物。）”和“For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. ”（例如，敬畏可能来自于看到一座比自己想象中更高的山）可知，人们会向比自己或经历更大的事物表达敬畏。D选项中自然环境中的大象可能比我们想象的要大，所以近距离观察一头大象会让我们产生敬畏。故选D项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit.（凯尔特纳和两个同事猜测，一个充满敬畏的人会睁大眼睛，抬起头、眼睛和眉毛，只是一点点。）”及“When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes.（他们要求人们表现出敬畏时，他们发现人们确实经常扬起眉毛，睁大眼睛。）”可知，Keltner和他的同事进行的猜测是正确的，因此可推测they were on track意为“他们的想法是正确的”。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第七段“So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they feel so, they are more willing to use it to help others.（到目前为止，似乎敬畏的目的可以把人们聚在一起。当人们感到敬畏时，他们会觉得时间不知何故慢了下来，当他们感到敬畏时，他们会更愿意用它来帮助别人。）”及最后一段“But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it's going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you're going to be more likely to run into something that's awe-inspiring.（但如果你把自己关在自己的小世界里，就很难体验到那种感觉。走出去接触新鲜事物，你更有可能遇到令人敬畏的东西）”可推断，敬畏对社会有帮助，我们应该对此持开放态度。故选C。

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their cars wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them. ___35___Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ___36___ What's even better. wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: "I'm not available for chatting at the moment."
Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly tums up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. ___37___ Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!" signal.
___38___It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears — but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We'll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. ___39___And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange-suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
D. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal "digital noise reduction systems."

Dear Jim,
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Jim,
I am sorry to know you are troubled by cellphone overuse. As a heavy cellphone user myself, I totally understand the stress and frustration you are feeling.
Fortunately, we can do a few things about it. For instance, we can set certain hours of the day as “cellphone time” and only pick up the phone during those hours. By doing so, we can reduce our screen time. We may also participate in group activities where we meet people face to face and thus don’t need to rely on the phone all the time to contact others.
I hope my suggestions can help and I'm sure you will get through this. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Yours,
Li Hua
