【原文】W: Finding an apartment is time-consuming and disappointing, but with a little preparation and most importantly, a lot of patience, you’ll get what you want. The first thing you need to do is to make some time in your schedule. If you are going to find the apartment that fits your requirements, then unless you’re really lucky, you are going to have to spend a lot of time hunting. The next thing is to decide exactly what you want and how much you can afford. Think about what cities or neighborhoods you’d like to live in and what you’d like for your local neighborhood. Write down what features are important to you, such as parking, public transportation and security. Then you start hunting. Search every website you can find, and start going through the ads. It is probably best to start by picking out all the apartments that are within your price range and then check the location and traffic. Then make the call—but prepare yourself for disappointment. Apartments that look good on the Internet often turn out to be disappointing. And of course, you find that all the really great apartments have just been taken.

Paragraph 1：
Eric stopped his car and followed the boy. The boy went up to a small grave stone, and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret that I didn't say it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses, but why didn't I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret that I didn't tell you I love you so much！”
Paragraph 2：
Eric went into his car in tears. His mother's home wasn't far from here, but he hadn't seen her for a long time. He didn't have a talk with her for a long time and never said how much he loved her. He turned the car and drove towards the direction to the flower shop quickly. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.绝密★考试结束前

B My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Vet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
The idea that I was “not athletic*' stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. it was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of will!
The night before my marathon, 1 dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces（鞋带）became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain. I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.
She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact. I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels（世俗标签）.
I can now call myself a “marathon winner''.
24. A month before the marathon, the author_______.
A. was well trained B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope
25. Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year
A. To admit the support of his teacher.
B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C. To show he was not talented in sports.
D. To share a precious memory.
26. How was the author's first marathon
A. He made it B. He quit halfway.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
27. What does the story mainly tell us
A. A man owes his success to his family support.
B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. One is never too old to learn.
C. Living the light life
Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.
The recent rise of light meals, however, gives dine smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.
The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.
Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal.
“These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many young people, especially millennials (千禧一代), are into them. Diners see it as a great way to avoid bloating (变胖),” wrote the Telegraph.
“After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite (胃口) has shrunk. I now prefer light flavors,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.
So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
28. What are light meals
A. Fat-filled dishes. B. Meat-free dishes.
C. Sugar-charged desserts. D. Low-calorie and high-fiber meals.
29. What is the main way that the author used to prove the popularity of light meals
A. Listing numbers. B. Giving examples.
C. Giving descriptions. D. Showing other people’s opinions.
30. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A. The typical feature of light meals. B. Different eating lifestyles.
C. Healthy nutrients. D. The importance of vegetables.
31. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Light meals will stay popular for a short time.
B. One’s eating habit shows their personality.
C. It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.
D. There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.
D .
Bowhead whales（弓头鲸）can live 200 years or longer. How they do it is no longer among the secrets of the deep.
Scientists have mapped the genetic code of this long lived whale species. The international effort found unusual features in the Arctic whale's genes. Those features likely protect the species against cancer and other problems related to old age. The researchers hope their findings will one day translate into ways to help people too.
"We hope to learn what is the secret of bowhead whales living longer, healthier lives," says Joao Pedru de Magalhes. He is a gerontologist at the University of Liverpool in England. (Gerontology is the scientific study of old age. ) He is also a co-author of the study that appeared in Cell Reports. His team hopes, he says, that its mew findings might one day be used to improve human health and preserve human life.
No other mammals are known to live as long as the bowhead whales Scientists have shown that some of these whales have lived well beyond 100—including one that survived to 216. For perspective（不妨看看）, if he were still alive, Abraham Lincoln would be turning just 211 this year.
Dr. Magalh es' team wanted to understand how the bowhead can live so long. To find out this, the experts analyzed the animal's complete set of genes, called its genome （基因组）. Those instructions are coded in the animal's DNA. The team also compared the whale's genome to that of people, mice and cows.
The scientists discovered differences, including mutations（变异）, in the whale's genes. Those changes are linked to cancer, aging and cell growth. The results suggest that the whales are better than humans at repairing their DNA. That's important because damaged or flawed DNA can lead to disease, including some cancers.
Bowhead whales are also better at keeping abnormally dividing cells in check. Together, the changes appear to allow bowhead whales to live longer without developing age related diseases such as cancer, said Magalh es.
32. The example of Lincoln mainly wants to indicate(表明) that _______________.
A. Lincoln died one hundred years age
B. Lincoln should have lived much longer.
C. the lifetime of bowhead whales is very long.
D. their study unlocked the secret of Lincoln's death.
33. The bowhead whale can live so long mainly because _________________.
A. it faces little danger in its life
B. its DNA has a strong ability of self-repairing
C. it has a complete set of genetic instructions
D. its living environment is better than that of humans
34. The underlined word "flawed" is the closest in meaning to_________________.
A. Disabled B. Changed C. Misled D. repaired
35. The passage tends to tell the readers that ________________.
A. the bowhead is the animal which lives the longest
B. scientists have found ways to treat humans' disease
C. scientists have new findings in search of bow head whales
D. bowhead whales may unlock the secrets of a long, healthy life

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. Mother's Day is coming, so he usually tried to make it “back home”， but this year he was just too busy and too tired. When he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I'll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it. “How many roses can I get for six dollars, Miss？” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would buy something else.
“No, I have to have roses，” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because they are her favorite.” He insisted.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, so he looked at the girl and whispered to her that he would pay for the boy's roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out of the store. It was worth more than thirty five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to send them to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove away. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (墓地)．
