Until 13, Parker Liautaud was an ordinary kid. That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the then 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom he'd so far shown he had no particular interest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time in the gym, and proved them wrong.
The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150, 000 needed for the record attempt. Then disaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean.
A trip which had intended to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been obstructed by melting ice caps. "We would get up, battle through these difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than we'd started the previous morning, he said. After 14 days’ trying, they admitted defeat.
Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against climate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that it's his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.
24. How did Liautaud's family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic
A. They made fun of it. B. They were puzzled about it.
C. They turned a deaf ear to it. D. They tried to talk him out of it.
25. What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole
A. The lack of funds. B. A natural disaster.
C. The movement of the ice. D. The failure of the equipment.
26. Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North Pole
A. To push his physical limits.
B. To support environmental protection.
C. To become an experienced North-Poler.
D. To finish a research project for his website.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as a young man
A. Demanding. B. Generous. C. Responsible. D. Cooperative.
C
AI, 5G and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well. China5s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new trend for the e-CNY （电子人民币）trials in the country. The purpose, China's bankers said, is not aimed at taking the place of privately-run payment platforms, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. Instead, this official electronic payment system is being done so that all cash in circulation （流通）can be followed.
Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY features anonymity （匿名）and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to users5 personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and their information won5t be revealed to any third-party institutions. E-CNY users' privacy protection is at the highest level among all the existing payment tools.
Similar to Alipay and WeChat payments, using e-CNY requires an account. After getting the other party's account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to be paid and then enter the password to complete the transaction （交易）. However, the processes behind these transactions are different. For the existing electronic payments, the money has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the money only when they withdraw it from banks. But e-CNY transactions only need a payer and a receiver. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, helps prevent financial crimes and improves the efficiency of transactions.
In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered "money", while electronic payments are like "wallets". The successful launch of the e-CNY may change the existing market structure, which is mainly dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay now. The banks may return to a leading position in the digital currency system. But China's central bank won't get more money into circulation, since every yuan issued digitally will basically cancel one yuan circulating in physical form.
28. Why are commercial banks in China making efforts on e-CNY trials
A. They aim to cut down the use of bank cards.
B. They intend to track the cash in circulation.
C. They want to get rid of paper currency.
D. They plan to replace privately-run payment platforms.
29. What can users benefit when using e-CNY compared with the existing electronic payments
A. People won't worry about their private information exposure.
B. People can finish the transaction without any account.
C. People can do the transaction at a very low fee.
D. People can withdraw money from banks free of charge.
30. How does Paragraph 3 develop
A. By listing facts. B. By making comparison.
C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
31. What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage
A. The e-CNY will change the existing market structure.
B. The e-CNY will shake the position of real paper money.
C. The e-CNY in circulation will disturb the normal economy.
D. The e-CNY will not change the total amount of money in circulation.
D
Some people can walk into a room and instantly put everyone at ease. Others seem to make teeth clench and eyes roll no matter what they do. A small body of psychology research supports the idea that the way a person tends to make others feel is a consistent and measurable part of his personality. Researchers call it "affective presence".
This concept was first described nearly 10 years ago in a study led by Noah Eisenkraft, a business professor at Washington University. He put business-school students into groups, had them register for all the same classes for a semester, and do every group project together. Then the members of each group rated how much every other member made them feel eight different emotions: stressed, bored, angry, sad, calm, relaxed, happy, and enthusiastic. The researchers found that a significant portion of group members5 emotions could be accounted for by the affective presence of their peers.
It's been known for some time that emotions are infectious. But affective presence is an effect one has regardless of one's own feelings — those with positive affective presence make other people feel good, even if they personally are anxious or sad, and the opposite is true for those with negative affective presence.
Unsurprisingly, people who consistently make others feel good are more central to their social networks—in Elfenbein, s study, more of their classmates considered them to be friends. Hector Madrid, an organizational-behavior professor, has found that leaders with positive affective presence have teams that are better at sharing information, which leads to creativity. Inferiors are more likely to voice their ideas, too.
However, Elfenbein notes that positive affective presence isn't naturally good. Neither is negative affective presence necessarily always a bad thing in a leader—think of a football coach yelling at the team at halftime, motivating them to make a comeback. She suspects that affective presence is closely related to emotional intelligence which one can use to cure cancer or to be a criminal mastermind.
32. What does the underlined phrase "make teeth clench" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Make people nervous. B. Make people glad.
C. Make people comfortable. D. Make people calm.
33. Why does the author mention Elfbnbein's study in Paragraph 5
A. To suggest leaders are better at sharing information.
B. To prove leaders also have negative affective presence.
C. To indicate people with positive affective presence are creative.
D. To show positive affective presence can promote social interaction.
34. What does Elfenbein think of “affective presence"
A. It is for motivating others.
B. It is a double-edged sword.
C. It is affected by one's own emotion.
D. It is the positive emotional influence on others.
35. Which could be the best title for the text
A. Affective Presence: Secret Part of Your Personalities
B. Emotional Signature: Why Emotions are Infectious
C. Affective Presence: How You Make People Feel
D. Emotional Intelligence: Big Part of Affective Presence

The world’s largest iceberg (冰山) is floating toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins (企鹅) and seals.
Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days.
The British Antarctic Survey says it is concerned that if the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.
Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist with the Antarctic Survey, says right now is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. This means the distance that parents have to travel to find food is important.
“That means they have to go a lot further, they have to go around the iceberg, or to actually go further to find sources of food,” Tarling said. “And that time is quite important at this particular period of their life cycle.”
The breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. “What we’re seeing with models and some observations now is the rate at which this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future,” Tarling said.
The iceberg also could damage South Georgia’s valuable fishing industry. Fishers pay for the rights to catch Patagonian toothfish, icefish and krill (磷虾) in waters off the island.
Officials are hoping that changing weather patterns could direct the iceberg out into the open ocean, where it would, in time, break up and melt.
24. What will happen if the iceberg hits the island of South Georgia
A. Wildlife will lose their homes.
B. The iceberg will remain in one piece.
C. The island of South Georgia will disappear.
D. Feeding will be challenging for penguins and seals.
25. What can we learn from what Tarling says
A. Icebergs are coming off faster than before.
B. Penguins and seals’ birth rates are increasing.
C. It’s unusual to see the iceberg melting is speeding.
D. The iceberg’s breaking off is caused by human beings.
26. What does the last paragraph tell us
A. The present situation is beyond hope.
B. The weather patterns are controllable.
C. The iceberg is bound to melt very soon.
D. The crash of the iceberg may be avoidable.
27. What’s the main theme of the passage
A. The island of South Georgia.
B. The population of sea animals.
C. The changing climate in Antarctica.
D. The potential problems of the iceberg.
C
It might sound like a terrible dream, but a new design from Dubai-based airline Emirates plans to remove windows from airplanes. Instead of real-life views of clouds and sky, first-class passengers will look out of “virtual (虚拟的) windows,” enjoying projected views of the world passing by. Emirates’ “windows” use real-time high-tech camera technology to provide virtual views of the outside world.
Saj Ahmad, Chief Analyst at StrategicAero Research says, “Windowless airplanes sound great — however, in reality, it won’t happen for a number of reasons. For starters, in the event of an emergency (紧急情况), people in the plane often need to look out for reference points. Having visual awareness (视觉意识) is important and in a windowless jet, they don’t exist — especially if there is an electrical fault which then means that the ‘electric’ windows do not work and you can’t see outside.” Ahmad was also concerned about passenger comfort. “Passengers simply do love the natural view outside,” he says. “There are also other problems — the change involved would certainly require new tests.” Other futuristic airplane designs are going the opposite way. Boeing’s Dreamliner — its most modern design — features large windows. Airbus has also designed a plane with transparent (透明的) walls that is presented at the 2011 Paris Air Show. Embraer has planned the Kyoto cabin, designed for its Lineage 1000E aircraft, which features large windows running along the majority of the walls of the cabin.
There could also be a move towards pilotless planes in the future — but Ahmad applies his doubts about windowless planes to drone-flown (无人驾驶的) planes too. “The idea of windowless planes is possible — that doesn’t mean it will happen,” says Ahmad. “The same applies to drone technology — but that doesn’t mean that tomorrow we’re suddenly going to see all airplanes being flown without pilots.”
28. What will Emirates’new planes be like
A. They will be pilotless.
B. They will have open windows.
C. They will present outside views on virtual windows.
D. They will provide all passengers with windowless experiences.
29. What does Saj Ahmad think of the virtual windows
A. Useful. B. Impractical. C. Expensive. D. Comfortable.
30. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Projected views. B. Electric windows.
C. Reference points. D. Windowless airplanes.
31. What is the future of drone technology according to Saj Ahmad
A. It is promising. B. It will be widely applied.
C. It will take time to develop. D. It needs more skilled engineers.
D
It’s peak cold and flu season, which means taking a lot of preventative measures. Frequent hand-washing is a must. As is avoiding co-workers or friends who are sick. But we humans are not the only animals that change behavior to keep diseases at bay. So do ants.
“So there are the foragers (工蚁) and the nurses — it’s two different groups of work,” said Natha of the University of Lausanne. She and her colleagues observed ants to see their reaction to the presence of a disease.
“The nurses being made of young workers typically, stay inside the nest and take care of the eggs. And the foragers are all the workers spending most of time at outside of the nest to collect food and defend the territory. ”
Forager ants are at greater risk of getting exposed to diseases because they leave the safety of the nest. So the researchers sprayed a common virus on a small group of forager ants and then followed their movements to see the way other ants reacted.
“We marked all ants in the colony with individual labels, which carries these two-dimensional bar code marks like QR code which is automatically detected and recorded using a tracking system.”
After the infection, the nurse and forager ants stayed within their working places and interacted less outside of their work group. The researchers also saw that forager ants spent more time outside of the nest. “They increase that amount by 15 percent, so by quite a long large amount.”
Isolating(隔离)behavior stops the spread of the virus. “Something that’s quite interesting in these ants that’s been shown by the study is that in their ability to avoid infecting other members of the community, ants may be more advanced than we are,” Natha said.
32. How did the researchers track the infected ants
A. They labeled the movements of infected ants.
B. They used the QR codes to follow the ants’ movements.
C. They had some nurse and forager ants infected with the virus.
D. They applied a tracking technology to record the ants’ movements.
33. How did the ants act after being infected
A. Forager ants stayed inside the nest more.
B. Forager ants are ordered to stay outside more.
C. Infected ants tended to stay away from healthy ants.
D. The nurses stayed inside the nest, working as usual.
34. What’s Natha’s attitude toward ants’ behaviors
A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Conservative.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How ants keep diseases at bay in the nest.
B. Ants change movements to fight against diseases.
C. The measures all the ants take to prevent diseases.
D. Similarities between humans and ants in controlling diseases.

Australia is no stranger to wildfires. The country’s weather patterns create heat and dryness, which fuel occasional bushfires in a natural cycle. However, one that started last September continues to burn, and it may not be natural at all. Scientists say that man-made climate change has played a role in the fire’s creation and duration.
Peter Gleick, a US climate scientist, told Time, “the extent, the severity, and the intensity of these fires wouldn’t have been so bad without the fingerprints of climate change.”
According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology, the country’s temperatures have risen by more than one degree Celsius since 1920. The spring of 2019 was Australia’s driest in 120 years. In December, the country saw its hottest day ever, with an average temperature of 41.9℃.
“Due to enhanced (过度的) evaporation（蒸发）in warmer temperatures, the vegetation and the soils dry out more quickly,” Stefan Rahmstorf, a lead author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report, told Time.
Worse still, researchers at the UK Bureau of Meteorology believe that wildfires like this might become “normal conditions” in the future, according to the BBC. They looked at 57 research papers published since 2013, which examined the relationship between climate change and the risk of wildfires. They found that the link between the two has already been observed in many parts of the world, including the western US, Canada, southern Europe, and even Scandinavia and Siberia.
“These are impacts we are seeing for one degree of global climate change. The impact will get worse if we don’t do what it takes to make the world’s climate stable,” Corinne Le Quere, a professor from the University of East Anglia in the UK, told the BBC. “What we are seeing in Australia is not the ‘new normal’. It’s a transition(过渡)to worse impacts.”
4. What was the wildfire starting last September related to according to scientists？
A. Air pollution. B. Human activities.
C. Environment changes. D. Natural cycle.
5. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 mean
A. The meaning of climate change B. The influence of climate change
C. The control of climate change D. The possibility of climate change
6. What happened with the temperature rising in Australia
A. Plants stayed as lively as usual.
B. Australia never suffered a hot day.
C. The plants and the soils became dry faster.
D. Every season became the driest in the year.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. We might see more wildlife.
B. We were to see less disasters.
C. It could be impossible to see wildfires.
D. It would be more difficult to prevent wildfires.

If you’re looking for European culture, there are few better places to visit than Switzerland. Known as the melting pot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beauty and fantastic food.
Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.
Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.
However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.
Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.
But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.
Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries
8. The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its _________.

Late blight (晚疫病) is a common disease of plants such as tomatoes and potatoes, capable of wiping out entire crops on commercial-sized fields. If conditions are favorable, it can quickly spread to other plants through wet soil and wind.
In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are often the hardest hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.
But farmers may have a new weapon now. The technology, designed by researchers at North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.
Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals have accumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.
The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.
12. What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The damage caused by late blight.
B. The money put into late blight treatment.
C. The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.
D. The yearly production of small farms and growers.
13. According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected
A. By treating the plant with special dyes.
B. By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.
C. By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.
D. By examining the land with a smartphone reader.
14. What do the researchers expect of their new technology
A. It’ll reach farmers soon.
B. It’ll get rid of late blight.
C. It’ll be beneficial to the climate.
D. It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.
15. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To introduce a test method of late blight.
B. To explain the causes of late blight.
C. To discuss the effects of late blight.
D To tell the history of late blight.

Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.”可知，农民想判断植物有没有得晚疫病，只需要将植物的一片叶子放在盖着的玻璃罐子里。叶子上的化学物质在瓶子里聚集15分钟以后，将盖子移除，将罐子中的空气抽出来注入阅读器中。通过观察阅读器中纸张颜色的变化来判断植物有没有得病。所以最终是通过测试罐子里有叶子的空气来判断是否得晚疫病的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段“The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems.”可知，科学家希望这门新技术可以运用到其他的植物病上面，可以帮助农民识别更多的植物病。故选D项。

Until 13, Parker Liautaud was an ordinary kid. That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the then 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom he'd so far shown he had no particular interest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time in the gym, and proved them wrong.
The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150, 000 needed for the record attempt. Then disaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean.
A trip which had intended to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been obstructed by melting ice caps. "We would get up, battle through these difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than we'd started the previous morning, he said. After 14 days’ trying, they admitted defeat.
Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against climate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that it's his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.
24. How did Liautaud's family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic
A. They made fun of it. B. They were puzzled about it.
C. They turned a deaf ear to it. D. They tried to talk him out of it.
25. What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole
A. The lack of funds. B. A natural disaster.
C. The movement of the ice. D. The failure of the equipment.
26. Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North Pole
A. To push his physical limits.
B. To support environmental protection.
C. To become an experienced North-Poler.
D. To finish a research project for his website.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as a young man
A. Demanding. B. Generous. C. Responsible. D. Cooperative.
C
AI, 5G and other digital technologies are not only changing our lives but shaping the economy as well. China5s six major commercial banks are stepping up digital wallet efforts to provide new trend for the e-CNY （电子人民币）trials in the country. The purpose, China's bankers said, is not aimed at taking the place of privately-run payment platforms, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. Instead, this official electronic payment system is being done so that all cash in circulation （流通）can be followed.
Compared with Alipay and WeChat payments, e-CNY features anonymity （匿名）and security. E-commerce platforms that accept payments via e-CNY will not have access to users5 personal information. E-CNY users can open an anonymous digital wallet by registering a mobile phone number, and their information won5t be revealed to any third-party institutions. E-CNY users' privacy protection is at the highest level among all the existing payment tools.
Similar to Alipay and WeChat payments, using e-CNY requires an account. After getting the other party's account number, users can enter the amount of digital money to be paid and then enter the password to complete the transaction （交易）. However, the processes behind these transactions are different. For the existing electronic payments, the money has to go through a third party, and the receivers will get the money only when they withdraw it from banks. But e-CNY transactions only need a payer and a receiver. Therefore, it guarantees risk-free payments, helps prevent financial crimes and improves the efficiency of transactions.
In simple terms, e-CNY can be considered "money", while electronic payments are like "wallets". The successful launch of the e-CNY may change the existing market structure, which is mainly dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay now. The banks may return to a leading position in the digital currency system. But China's central bank won't get more money into circulation, since every yuan issued digitally will basically cancel one yuan circulating in physical form.
28. Why are commercial banks in China making efforts on e-CNY trials
A. They aim to cut down the use of bank cards.
B. They intend to track the cash in circulation.
C. They want to get rid of paper currency.
D. They plan to replace privately-run payment platforms.
29. What can users benefit when using e-CNY compared with the existing electronic payments
A. People won't worry about their private information exposure.
B. People can finish the transaction without any account.
C. People can do the transaction at a very low fee.
D. People can withdraw money from banks free of charge.
30. How does Paragraph 3 develop
A. By listing facts. B. By making comparison.
C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
31. What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage
A. The e-CNY will change the existing market structure.
B. The e-CNY will shake the position of real paper money.
C. The e-CNY in circulation will disturb the normal economy.
D. The e-CNY will not change the total amount of money in circulation.
D
Some people can walk into a room and instantly put everyone at ease. Others seem to make teeth clench and eyes roll no matter what they do. A small body of psychology research supports the idea that the way a person tends to make others feel is a consistent and measurable part of his personality. Researchers call it "affective presence".
This concept was first described nearly 10 years ago in a study led by Noah Eisenkraft, a business professor at Washington University. He put business-school students into groups, had them register for all the same classes for a semester, and do every group project together. Then the members of each group rated how much every other member made them feel eight different emotions: stressed, bored, angry, sad, calm, relaxed, happy, and enthusiastic. The researchers found that a significant portion of group members5 emotions could be accounted for by the affective presence of their peers.
It's been known for some time that emotions are infectious. But affective presence is an effect one has regardless of one's own feelings — those with positive affective presence make other people feel good, even if they personally are anxious or sad, and the opposite is true for those with negative affective presence.
Unsurprisingly, people who consistently make others feel good are more central to their social networks—in Elfenbein, s study, more of their classmates considered them to be friends. Hector Madrid, an organizational-behavior professor, has found that leaders with positive affective presence have teams that are better at sharing information, which leads to creativity. Inferiors are more likely to voice their ideas, too.
However, Elfenbein notes that positive affective presence isn't naturally good. Neither is negative affective presence necessarily always a bad thing in a leader—think of a football coach yelling at the team at halftime, motivating them to make a comeback. She suspects that affective presence is closely related to emotional intelligence which one can use to cure cancer or to be a criminal mastermind.
32. What does the underlined phrase "make teeth clench" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Make people nervous. B. Make people glad.
C. Make people comfortable. D. Make people calm.
33. Why does the author mention Elfbnbein's study in Paragraph 5
A. To suggest leaders are better at sharing information.
B. To prove leaders also have negative affective presence.
C. To indicate people with positive affective presence are creative.
D. To show positive affective presence can promote social interaction.
34. What does Elfenbein think of “affective presence"
A. It is for motivating others.
B. It is a double-edged sword.
C. It is affected by one's own emotion.
D. It is the positive emotional influence on others.
35. Which could be the best title for the text
A. Affective Presence: Secret Part of Your Personalities
B. Emotional Signature: Why Emotions are Infectious
C. Affective Presence: How You Make People Feel
D. Emotional Intelligence: Big Part of Affective Presence

The world’s largest iceberg (冰山) is floating toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins (企鹅) and seals.
Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days.
The British Antarctic Survey says it is concerned that if the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.
Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist with the Antarctic Survey, says right now is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. This means the distance that parents have to travel to find food is important.
“That means they have to go a lot further, they have to go around the iceberg, or to actually go further to find sources of food,” Tarling said. “And that time is quite important at this particular period of their life cycle.”
The breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. “What we’re seeing with models and some observations now is the rate at which this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future,” Tarling said.
The iceberg also could damage South Georgia’s valuable fishing industry. Fishers pay for the rights to catch Patagonian toothfish, icefish and krill (磷虾) in waters off the island.
Officials are hoping that changing weather patterns could direct the iceberg out into the open ocean, where it would, in time, break up and melt.
24. What will happen if the iceberg hits the island of South Georgia
A. Wildlife will lose their homes.
B. The iceberg will remain in one piece.
C. The island of South Georgia will disappear.
D. Feeding will be challenging for penguins and seals.
25. What can we learn from what Tarling says
A. Icebergs are coming off faster than before.
B. Penguins and seals’ birth rates are increasing.
C. It’s unusual to see the iceberg melting is speeding.
D. The iceberg’s breaking off is caused by human beings.
26. What does the last paragraph tell us
A. The present situation is beyond hope.
B. The weather patterns are controllable.
C. The iceberg is bound to melt very soon.
D. The crash of the iceberg may be avoidable.
27. What’s the main theme of the passage
A. The island of South Georgia.
B. The population of sea animals.
C. The changing climate in Antarctica.
D. The potential problems of the iceberg.
C
It might sound like a terrible dream, but a new design from Dubai-based airline Emirates plans to remove windows from airplanes. Instead of real-life views of clouds and sky, first-class passengers will look out of “virtual (虚拟的) windows,” enjoying projected views of the world passing by. Emirates’ “windows” use real-time high-tech camera technology to provide virtual views of the outside world.
Saj Ahmad, Chief Analyst at StrategicAero Research says, “Windowless airplanes sound great — however, in reality, it won’t happen for a number of reasons. For starters, in the event of an emergency (紧急情况), people in the plane often need to look out for reference points. Having visual awareness (视觉意识) is important and in a windowless jet, they don’t exist — especially if there is an electrical fault which then means that the ‘electric’ windows do not work and you can’t see outside.” Ahmad was also concerned about passenger comfort. “Passengers simply do love the natural view outside,” he says. “There are also other problems — the change involved would certainly require new tests.” Other futuristic airplane designs are going the opposite way. Boeing’s Dreamliner — its most modern design — features large windows. Airbus has also designed a plane with transparent (透明的) walls that is presented at the 2011 Paris Air Show. Embraer has planned the Kyoto cabin, designed for its Lineage 1000E aircraft, which features large windows running along the majority of the walls of the cabin.
There could also be a move towards pilotless planes in the future — but Ahmad applies his doubts about windowless planes to drone-flown (无人驾驶的) planes too. “The idea of windowless planes is possible — that doesn’t mean it will happen,” says Ahmad. “The same applies to drone technology — but that doesn’t mean that tomorrow we’re suddenly going to see all airplanes being flown without pilots.”
28. What will Emirates’new planes be like
A. They will be pilotless.
B. They will have open windows.
C. They will present outside views on virtual windows.
D. They will provide all passengers with windowless experiences.
29. What does Saj Ahmad think of the virtual windows
A. Useful. B. Impractical. C. Expensive. D. Comfortable.
30. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Projected views. B. Electric windows.
C. Reference points. D. Windowless airplanes.
31. What is the future of drone technology according to Saj Ahmad
A. It is promising. B. It will be widely applied.
C. It will take time to develop. D. It needs more skilled engineers.
D
It’s peak cold and flu season, which means taking a lot of preventative measures. Frequent hand-washing is a must. As is avoiding co-workers or friends who are sick. But we humans are not the only animals that change behavior to keep diseases at bay. So do ants.
“So there are the foragers (工蚁) and the nurses — it’s two different groups of work,” said Natha of the University of Lausanne. She and her colleagues observed ants to see their reaction to the presence of a disease.
“The nurses being made of young workers typically, stay inside the nest and take care of the eggs. And the foragers are all the workers spending most of time at outside of the nest to collect food and defend the territory. ”
Forager ants are at greater risk of getting exposed to diseases because they leave the safety of the nest. So the researchers sprayed a common virus on a small group of forager ants and then followed their movements to see the way other ants reacted.
“We marked all ants in the colony with individual labels, which carries these two-dimensional bar code marks like QR code which is automatically detected and recorded using a tracking system.”
After the infection, the nurse and forager ants stayed within their working places and interacted less outside of their work group. The researchers also saw that forager ants spent more time outside of the nest. “They increase that amount by 15 percent, so by quite a long large amount.”
Isolating(隔离)behavior stops the spread of the virus. “Something that’s quite interesting in these ants that’s been shown by the study is that in their ability to avoid infecting other members of the community, ants may be more advanced than we are,” Natha said.
32. How did the researchers track the infected ants
A. They labeled the movements of infected ants.
B. They used the QR codes to follow the ants’ movements.
C. They had some nurse and forager ants infected with the virus.
D. They applied a tracking technology to record the ants’ movements.
33. How did the ants act after being infected
A. Forager ants stayed inside the nest more.
B. Forager ants are ordered to stay outside more.
C. Infected ants tended to stay away from healthy ants.
D. The nurses stayed inside the nest, working as usual.
34. What’s Natha’s attitude toward ants’ behaviors
A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Conservative.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How ants keep diseases at bay in the nest.
B. Ants change movements to fight against diseases.
C. The measures all the ants take to prevent diseases.
D. Similarities between humans and ants in controlling diseases.

Australia is no stranger to wildfires. The country’s weather patterns create heat and dryness, which fuel occasional bushfires in a natural cycle. However, one that started last September continues to burn, and it may not be natural at all. Scientists say that man-made climate change has played a role in the fire’s creation and duration.
Peter Gleick, a US climate scientist, told Time, “the extent, the severity, and the intensity of these fires wouldn’t have been so bad without the fingerprints of climate change.”
According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology, the country’s temperatures have risen by more than one degree Celsius since 1920. The spring of 2019 was Australia’s driest in 120 years. In December, the country saw its hottest day ever, with an average temperature of 41.9℃.
“Due to enhanced (过度的) evaporation（蒸发）in warmer temperatures, the vegetation and the soils dry out more quickly,” Stefan Rahmstorf, a lead author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report, told Time.
Worse still, researchers at the UK Bureau of Meteorology believe that wildfires like this might become “normal conditions” in the future, according to the BBC. They looked at 57 research papers published since 2013, which examined the relationship between climate change and the risk of wildfires. They found that the link between the two has already been observed in many parts of the world, including the western US, Canada, southern Europe, and even Scandinavia and Siberia.
“These are impacts we are seeing for one degree of global climate change. The impact will get worse if we don’t do what it takes to make the world’s climate stable,” Corinne Le Quere, a professor from the University of East Anglia in the UK, told the BBC. “What we are seeing in Australia is not the ‘new normal’. It’s a transition(过渡)to worse impacts.”

If you’re looking for European culture, there are few better places to visit than Switzerland. Known as the melting pot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beauty and fantastic food.
Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.
Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.
However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.
Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.
But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.
Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries

Late blight (晚疫病) is a common disease of plants such as tomatoes and potatoes, capable of wiping out entire crops on commercial-sized fields. If conditions are favorable, it can quickly spread to other plants through wet soil and wind.
In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are often the hardest hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.
But farmers may have a new weapon now. The technology, designed by researchers at North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.
Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals have accumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.
The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.
12. What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The damage caused by late blight.
B. The money put into late blight treatment.
C. The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.
D. The yearly production of small farms and growers.
13. According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected
A. By treating the plant with special dyes.
B. By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.
C. By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.
D. By examining the land with a smartphone reader.
14. What do the researchers expect of their new technology
A. It’ll reach farmers soon.
B. It’ll get rid of late blight.
C. It’ll be beneficial to the climate.
D. It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.
15. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To introduce a test method of late blight.
B. To explain the causes of late blight.
C. To discuss the effects of late blight.
D To tell the history of late blight.
