A
Throughout history, countless people have made valuable contributions to astronomy. Here is a list of some of them.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did just one thing. Most scholars, however, think it was the greatest thing ever done in astronomy. Copernicus formulated what’s now called the heliocentric model-he moved Earth from the center of the universe and replaced it with the Sun. He didn’t publish his theory until he was on his deathbed in 1543.
Johannes Kepler
Indeed, German astronomer Johannes Kepler’s laws, especially the first, which states that planets move in ellipses(not circles)—set the stage for the law of universal gravitation. In addition to many years of hard orbital calculations, Kepler also observed a supernova(超新星), now called Kepler’s Nova, in 1604.
Tycho Brahe
Danish astronomer Tycho Ottesen Brahe was history’s greatest pre-telescopic observer. In fact, his careful observations of Mars enabled Kepler to develop his laws of planetary motion. Two of his famous observations were of the supernova that appeared in 1572(now called Tycho’s Nova)and the Great Comet of 1577.
Galileo Galilei
The first lens Galileo made is where optical(光学的)astronomy began. For that reason, Italian astronomer Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de Galilei ranks No.1 on this list. Although he didn’t invent the telescope, Galileo was the first to use it to study the sky: He observed sunspots, the phases of Venus, Saturn’s rings, and the four large moons of Jupiter.
1. Whose research laid the foundation for the law of universal gravitation
A. Nicolaus Copernicus. B. Johannes Kepler.
C. Tycho Brahe. D. Galileo Galilei.
2. What made Galileo the number one on the list
A. His observation of Mars. B. His observation of a supernova.
C. The heliocentric theory he proposed. D. The significance of the lens he made.
3. Where can the text be found
A. In an advertisement. B. In a novel.
C. In a magazine. D. In a biography.
B
Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she said. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build self-esteem that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them,” she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand—using fabric, stitching, and markers—that resembled her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities, tracheotomies—in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.
Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her offset costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits is unbowed. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own”.
4. What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls
A. The influence of dolls on her. B. Her working experience.
C. The changing medical situations. D. Her relation to the unlucky kids.
5. What does “that” refer to in paragraph 3
A. Children’s concern about their looks.
B. The problems faced by the child of a friend.
C. The challenging period the youth are going through.
D. The fact that words alone fail to help build confidence.
6. What can be inferred about Jandrisevits’ making dolls
A. It targets children with mental problems. B. It is time-consuming but meaningful.
C It is thought poorly of by people. D. It brings in a good fortune.
7. Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits
A. Creative and caring. B. Ambitious and devoted.
C. Considerate and sensitive. D. Knowledgeable and generous.
C
Benny Kuriakose remembers when his father built the first house in his village in the southern Indian state of Kerala with n concrete roof. It was 1968, and the family was proud to use the material, which was becoming a “status symbol” among villagers.
The Kuriakoses’ experience was an early taste of a phenomenon that, over the next few decades, spread across most of India’s big cities. Many Indian architects abandoned the local traditions that had been developed over thousands of years to cope with the weather extremes of different regions. The thatch (茅草) -roofed houses gave way to a boxy modern style, which resembled the western model.
In the climate change era, that uniformity is looking like a mistake. The solid concrete absorbed heat throughout the day and released it inside at night, making the house sweltering. Large parts of India have been struck by a spring heatwave since April, with temperatures lasting close to 44C for weeks in some places, and topping 49℃ in Delhi this week, making it dangerous to go to work or school. Expanding energy demand for cooling has helped trigger daily blackouts (断电) in cities, and the running of air conditioner units is giving out hot air into streets, worsening the urban heat island effect. As such heatwaves become increasingly common and long-lasting, experts say India’s modern building stock will make it harder for Indians to adapt.
Environmentalists are calling for a fundamental rethink of how India builds its cities. A growing number of sustainability-minded architects arc reviving local approaches. And in February the Indian government attempted to revise urban planning guidelines and investments to train planners to better design cities. Progress is slow, though, says Aromar Revi, director of the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS). “We need to essentially affect the entire fabric (构造) of our cities, from planning to land use, to building, to transportation systems,” he says. “We are only at the start of that conversation.”
8. What does the passage tell us about buildings with concrete in India
A. They were replaced by traditional thatch-roofed house.
B. They spread quickly to the western countries.
C. They appeared as a response to the local weather.
D. They were designed better than western models.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The drawbacks of the concrete buildings.
B. The changeable temperature of Indian cities.
C. Indian’s increasing demand for cooling.
D. The characteristics of the concrete buildings.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. City building relies on famous architects.
B. Local approaches are the best to build a city.
C. Much progress in city planning has been made.
D. People begin to reflect on the way they build their cities.
11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Failure results from blind confidence. B. East or west, home is best.
C. What is suitable is the best. D. All good things come to an end.
D
The e-commerce boom has fueled demand for warehouses (仓库). And the increasing demand is mostly linked to online shopping, because Internet shoppers are always expected to provide a wider variety of goods. Vacancy rates (空仓率) have therefore decreased greatly, from 10% across America and Europe a decade ago to just 5% now. In some places, like Toronto and Tokyo, they are below 2%.
The value of existing assets of warehouses is ballooning as a result. This in turn is attracting more investment. However, people’s enthusiasm for building new warehouses is now starting to run up against obstacles. The first is lack of space, especially in densely populated cities. The problem has grown so acute in parts of Germany that delivery lorries operate from sites across the border in Poland and France. High costs, restrictive zoning rules and current rents make it difficult to convert existing properties, such as struggling shopping malls, into distribution centers.
Public hostility to new sites is also growing. Large warehouses are noisy and operate around the clock. Suburban homeowners across America and Europe worry about pollution from lorries. Even where developers promise thousands of jobs, politicians complain that these will be low-skilled, or soon replaced by robots. Five Conservative members have called on Britain’s government, run by their own party, to stop a huge warehouse from being built in south-east England.
Warehouse owners are getting more crentive. Amazon is changing former golf courses in America into distribution centers. The online giant is also converting an empty car park in central London into a delivery hub. Less creatively, developers are raising rents and it’s estimated that they will go up by 6% globally this year. That may upset e-merchants.
12. What do the figures quoted in the first paragraph illustrate
A. Online shopping is driving the demand for warehouses.
B. A large number of goods are sold at reduced prices.
C. The number of online shoppers has declined.
D. Goods in Toronto and Tokyo are less popular.
13. Why is it hard to turn a struggling shopping mall into a distribution center
A. Because the shopping mall is not large enough.
B. Because people’s enthusiasm is not high enough.
C. Because delivery truckers don’t like the idea.
D. Because the cost of doing so is high.
14. What does the underlined word “hostility” in paragraph 3 mean
A Agreement. B. Awareness. C. Opposition. D. Preference.
15. What may make e-merchants feel frustrated
A. Warehouse owners are getting more creative.
B. Some vacant sites are converted into warehouses.
C. It’s harder for them to park in the center of London.
D. Rents for warehouses are rising all over the world.

When we think of technology, we tend to think of computers, smartphones, and the Internet among other high-tech inventions. But technological development also applies to clocks. The creation of mechanical gears in clocks was a great leap forward for timekeeping devices. Here are just a few of the milestones in their history.
The Pendulum （钟摆）Clock
While clocks using springs and gears had already been invented by the 1500s, it was the pendulum clock developed by Christiaan Huygens in 1657 that gave timepieces a higher level of accuracy. The improvements Huygens made to the pendulum design made it 100 times more accurate than previous clocks. Rather than losing or gaining 15 minutes per day, Huygens' pendulum clocks were accurate within a minute per week
The Power of Electricity
Clocks that used a battery began to be developed around 1815, but it wasn't until 25 years later that a Scottish clockmaker named Alexander Bain patented a clock powered by an electric current. Bain's clock still used a pendulum, but the pendulum was powered by electromagnetism. More than a hundred years later, in 1957, the first electric watches became available to the public.
Portable Watches
As clock technology advanced and mechanisms became more accurate and thinner , new types of timepieces that could be carried on a person were developed. The earliest of these were pocket watches , which were created in Switzerland in 1574. Centuries later , in 1812, Abraham-Louis Breguet produced the first wristwatch, which he gave to the Queen of Naples, Napoleon's younger sister. Originally, wristwatches were worn by women only and men continued to use pocket watches.
21. What made Huygens1 clock more precise than previous clocks
A The invention of springs and gears. B. The betterment in pendulum design.
C. The power of an electric current.
D. The changes of clock mechanism.
22. What was special about Bain's clock
A. It was battery-operated.
B. It was patented in 1835.
C. It was the first electric watch for the public.
D. Its pendulum was electromagnetism-powered.
23. Which of the following timekeeping devices was first invented
A. The pendulum clock. B. The electric watch.
C. The pocket watch D. The wristwatch.
B
It was 11130 at night in the Alaskan village of Igiugig, population 70, Nelson heard the rumble of a small airplane circling the nearby airport "Any time a plane flies over that late, you know something is wrong；” as she told New York Times.
“ Nelson and her sister ran to the window, and saw the problem： The airport's runway lights were out.
Nelson threw on some clothes! jumped into her ATV, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually.
"Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up," Nelson told KTOO out of Juneau. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the planed urgent mission. "It was a medevac, there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage.
Nelson had a plan. Driving her ATV to the end of the runway, she -shone her headlights on the tarmac （停机坪）for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn't enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village--32 of them. Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas. Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.
The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again. Her illness was never publicly revealed, but she has since been released from the hospital.
In a world filled with uncertainty, the little community's positive activism was a big deal. Not so much for Nelson. As she told CNN, in Igiugig, doming together “is kind of a normal deal.”

Migratory birds face numerous threats throughout their annual cycles from both natural and human-caused sources. The U. S. Fish Wildlife Service is working with governments, conservation organizations, industry and the public to reduce threats across the North American landscape to preserve our birds for future generations. There are also many easy ways anyone in the general public can help protect birds around. your communities.
Many of the 1,027 species of birds protected' under .the Migratory Bird Treaty Act are experiencing population declines due to increased threats from both natural and human-caused sources. Millions of acres of bird habitats are lost or degraded every year due to development…agriculture, and forestry practices. These rapidly- accelerating impacts can be mitigated only through： habitat restoration and protection. In addition, millions of birds are directly killed by human-caused sources such as collisions with man-made structures. Death from natural causes is also common sources of mortality（死亡率）
The mission o the Fish & Wildlife Service includes. working .with others to conserve natural resources. In addition, it 'provides information and assistance to industry and the public seeking to develop projects in a manner that reduces impacts on birds and their habitats. Some of the resources, the Service provides and is constantly improving upon, are voluntary guidelines, best practice recommendations and information for developers to conduct environmental reviews striving for bird-friendly projects. This information empowers the public to understand potential impacts from various activities and provides recommendations on how to avoid or minimize those impacts.
Migratory birds' conservation is a critical and challenging task for the Fish & Wildlife Service and all who value nature. Everyone can help protect migratory, birds. Whether it is taking actions around your home or workplace, designing bird-friendly projects, or just taking actions that reduce resource consumption, every action is one step towards protecting migratory birds for future generations.

Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains stubborn- Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.
The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they put on headsets and walked in place, wandering virtual neighborhoods while： completing tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require navigating or recalling details. After 15 sessions, the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test based on picking out objects they had seen about an hour earlier. But the Labyrinth players' scores； rose, and they were less frequently tricked by objects that resembled ones they had viewed.
“It likely stimulates the hippocampus — a brain area important for long-term memory," says cognitive neuroscientist Peter Wais of the University of California, San Francisco, who designed the VR game with his colleagues.
“What they're trying to do is uniquely suited to VR," says Meredith Thompson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology education researcher , who studies learning through VR games. VR can provide greater immersion and engagement than other games, she says, adding that after this proof — of — concept study, “it would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. " Wais's team is now investigating how long .the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact “It's great that they measured expectations for improvement for the intervention and placebo conditions," says Daniel Simons, a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign cognitive psychologists Experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this, he notes. But he also adds that — it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to — real — world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated , ideally with a much larger group , before it's treated as a strong finding.
32. How was the study conducted
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By listing data. D. By Interviewing participants.
33. What advantage does VR have over other games according to Thompson
A. It wins more favor of the participants.
B. It brings more pleasure to. the participants.
C. It offers the participants more involvement.
D. It has greater impact on .the participants.
34.What is Daniel Simons' attitude to the outcome of the study
A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.1r 7
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The elderly's memories are prevented from getting dull.
B. Ways of improving people's memory have been found.
C. VR could stimulate a brain area for long-term memory.
D. The memory of the elderly may be boosted through VR.

The best London hotels near Oxford Street
An expert guide to the top London hotels near Oxford Street—eight minutes' walk or less— including the best hotels for their family-friendly services and budget accommodation.
The London EDITION
Soho, London, England
This place is just off Oxford Street in leafy Fitzrovia. It will suit those who want more than a bed for the night. The multi-functional lobby（前厅）makes a great entrance, though it's the restored ceiling, old not new, that really grabs the attention. The picture- lined restaurant is an equally successful space. The rooms are a bit like being inside a luxurious cigar box, with their wood-panelled walls and artful fur sofa covers that add a feeling of warmth.
The Langham, London
Marylebone, London, England
An advert from the late 19th century declares that the Langham is situated in the "most healthy, convenient and fashionable position in London. " Today this still holds true； the hotel is right in the centre of London. This is one of London's oldest grand hotels. Everything feels as if it has been running the way it should for a long time. Expect enormous vases of fresh flowers in public areas, oriental furnishings and marble baths in the rooms. This is also home to Michel Roux Jr's Roux, which does tasty French cuisine. The Grazing Goat
Marylebone, London, England
The hotel is located on New Quebec Street, a quiet road lined with clothing shops and beauty salons about three minutes' walk from Oxford Street. There's something of a village feel to this area of London that is difficult to correspond with the tourist groups moments away—but it's most welcome. Rooms have Egyptian cotton beds, Aesop toilets and walls in the color of moss green and steel blue. The food menu offers seasonal British foods with the latest trendy ingredients.
21. In The London EDITION, customers are most likely to be attracted by its .

Rome is recognized across the globe for its classical artwork, but recently the city's street art has been drawing attention. While many urban artists stick to painting murals （壁画），one Italian sculptor is resisting the trend with his wonderful works made :from an unusual material. Andrea Gandini, a native of Rome in his early twenties, has been recognized for his wood carvings of old tree trunks scattered across the city's landscape.
Gandini's Trocomorto, or "dead trunk" project, began in 2018, when the artist ran out of sculpting clay. That's when he noticed the remains of an old tree stump in his neighborhood. He realized that Rome was full of potential canvases（画布）just waiting to be given a new life. "Bringing trees back to life" is exactly how Gandini and others describe his art.
Due to years of poor care by the city, many trees became diseased and had to be cut down. This resulted in lots of old stumps that degraded the streets of Rome, which were costly to remove. However, they have been a perfect canvas of Gandini, who has completed over 50 carvings across the city.
Gandini gives each old tree trunk a face and personality of its own. By recognizing each formerly living tree as individual, he hopes to give them some dignity in death and respect each of them with their own headstone of sorts. For those that can't make the trip to Rome, Gandini documents his works of art on Facebook.
Gandini's “dead trunk" project reminds us of what Auguste Rodin says, "There is no lack of beauty in the world, but a lack of eyes to find it. " All is beautiful in the eyes of the artist, for his keen eye sees through the heart of all living things. To discover its character is to pierce its outer form and touch its inner truth. This "truth" is also "beauty".
24. What has drawn people's attention recently in Rome according to the passage
A. Its classical artwork. B. Its traditional murals.
C. Its street wood carvings. D. Its unusual material.
25. Which statement is NOT correct about Gandini's works
A. They are full of life. B. They follow the trend of murals.
C. They beautify the city. D. They are appreciated by some artists.
26. What does Gandini try to put in his works
A. Dignity and respect. B. Beauty and kindness.
C. Hope and personality. D. Death and art.
27. What can we learn from this passage
A. Beauty is always around for keen eyes.
B. Inner truth is difficult to find.
C. We live in a world lacking beauty.
D. Grandini is a person who loves nature and truth.
C
This new packaging material looks like conventional plastic, but it's actually made from fish waste and algae（海藻）--and unlike plastic, if it escapes into the ocean, a fish could likely eat it safely. The material, called MarinaTex, is the winner of this year's James Dyson Award.
"It began with my desire to work with waste," says Lucy Hughes, a recent graduate from University of Sussex, who once visited a fish processing factory to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and find new ways to use it. She focused on fish skins and scales （鳞片）.“When I had it in my hands, I realized this has got potential, she says. "It's super strong and flexible." Hughes spent months experimenting with fish waste in her kitchen, running more than 100 experiments to find a binder and a process that could hold together the proteins in the fish skins and scales. "I had a lot of failed attempts—a lot of things either were too easily broken or too soft or easily went bad," she says. She finally landed on a type of algae that can be locally got.
The material can be used to replace oil-based plastic in packaging such as bags or the half transparent windows used to show products in boxes. As her research continues, Hughes says that she'll be studying how MarinaTex works and how long it could be used to store food.
Unlike some "compostable" plastics, which need to be processed in an industrial composting facility to break down, the new material can break down in four to six weeks in a backyard compost bin. ''All the ingredients are food-grade safe," Hughes says. "So, this breaks down much like a piece of food would break down."
28. Why did Hughes develop MarinaTex
A. She wanted to look for a new plastic.
B. She would like fish to eat it safely.
C. She wanted to win James Dyson Award.
D. She wanted to make use of fish skins and scales.
29. What does the underlined word "it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The fish processing factory. B. The fish waste.
C. Fish scales. D. Fish skins.
30.What is the main advantage of MarinaTex compared with conventional plastic
A. It is stronger and more flexible.
B. It can be used as plastic bags.
C. It has the nutritional value for fish.
D. It can break down very easily and fast.
31. Which one is the best title for the passage
A. Working with Waste B. Developing New Ideas
C. Making Bags from Fish Waste D. Getting Rid of Plastic Pollution
D
Two years ago this month, a 19-year-old American shot and killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Fourteen of the victims were students； the other three were teachers. The gunman was a former student at the high school.
On this anniversary, as with other anniversaries of school shootings, Americans continue debating how to make sure students are safe in schools.
To increase preparedness for such an event, many schools now hold shooter drills（演 习）for students and their teachers. A report released by Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit organization, notes the possible harmful effects of such exercises. It urges school administrators to look for better ways to make schools safe and to prepare children for an active shooter.
One problem with the way schools carry out shooter drills is how much they frighten students. When a school fails to inform parents and students about plans for a drill, the children may think that the attack is real. In some communities, the report says, schools deploy individuals who are told to act like "masked gunmen". Students as young as three or four years old may be told to stay quiet in a small space for a long period of time. Experts on mental health say these experiences can have both short- and long-term effects on how well the children behave in school, as well as on their physical and mental health.
Melissa Reeves, former president of the National Association of School Psychologists, said the drills may "trigger either past trauma(心理创伤）or trigger such a... reaction that it actually ends up scaring the individuals instead of better preparing them to respond in these kinds of situations."
In 2007, one study found it better to prepare students for an "intruder", rather than a shooter. Another study noted the value of announcing drills in advance and following them with discussion. Students in that situation felt better prepared to handle possible violence.
32.What is the problem with the shooter drills
A. Students only suffer short-term damage.
B. Students' physical health cannot be affected.
C. Students may think they are real and get scared.
D. Too young children may not understand what is happening.
33. What does "trigger" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A. Limit. B. Cause. C. Reduce. D. Regulate.
34. What is Melissa Reeves' attitude toward the shooter drills
A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Unclear.
35. How can students be better prepared to handle possible shooter drills
A. The schools give them a surprise.
B They only prepare for shooters.
C. The masked "attacker" carries a toy gun.
D. Drills are announced beforehand and discussed afterwards.
