Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav (卫星导航) systems to guide us. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.
On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically (国内地) produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.
Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has been increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.
When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support Beidou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.
Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow (犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.
With its many uses, the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative. “To date, the Beidou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the Beidou system.
Today, there are more than 20 Beidou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the Beidou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
“As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics (物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun, Secretary General of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example, can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future.”
28. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To compare some modern satnav systems.
B. To describe the benefits of satnav systems.
C. To tell us how satnav systems were created.
D. To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.
29. What can we know about the Beidou navigation system according to the article
A. It was used successfully in a new jet plane.
B. It is more powerful than other satnav systems.
C. It was introduced to China on October, 2017.
D. It wasn’t used in our everyday life until recently.
30. According to the article, the Beidou navigation system is already widely used for ____.
A. plowing the soil and sowing seeds
B. improving the efficiency of network
C. producing more smart locks for shared bikes
D. navigating ships across oceans to European countries
31. What is Miao Qianjun’s attitude toward the future of the Beidou system
A. Worried. B. Casual. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
One of the world's oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River Valley 508 kilometers(316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago." Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site," reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism &Antiquitics Departmen of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro's significance can't be underestimated. When it was added to UNESCO's register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,"making up of"the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent".
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it's clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100million Pakistani rupees($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs.UNESCO has responded to the request for help, delivering $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secreta General Antonio Guterres's visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum.While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites,it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjod have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter,Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger,which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
32.What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A.The geographic feature it bears.
B.The role it played in fighting floods.
C.The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D.The value it holds in history and architecture.
33.What does the underlined word"mitigate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Reduce. B.Suffer. C.Avoid D.Assess.
34.Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A.Creative B.Worrying C.Impractical D.Satisfactory.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Pakistan's Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B.Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C.Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D.Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of the major concerns of students in any speech class is stage fright. Actually, most people tend to be anxious before doing something important in public.The question is： 36
Acquire Speaking Experience
37 .You enroll (注册)in a public speaking course, where you will learn about speech making and gain speaking experience. For most students, the biggest part of stage fright is the fear of the unknown. The more you learn about public speaking and the more speeches you give, the less threatening speech making will become.
38
How much time should you devote to preparing your speeches A standard rule of thumb is that each minute of speaking time requires one to two hours of preparation time-perhaps more, depending on the amount of research needed for the speech. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.
Think Positively
Confidence is mostly the well-known power of positive thinking. If you think you can do it, you usually can. On the other hand, if you predict disaster and doom (厄运),that is almost always what you will get. 39 . Speakers who think negatively about themselves and the speech experience are much more likely to be overcome by stage fright than the speakers who think positively.
Don't Expect Perfection
It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. Sometimes an error or two can actually enhance a speaker's appeal by making her or him seem more human.
As you work on your speeches, make sure you prepare thoroughly and do all you can to get your message across to your listeners. 40 .Once you free your mind of these burdens, you will find it much easier to approach your speeches with confidence and even with enthusiasm.
A. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
B.You should take the first step
C. Be confident of failure
D. How do you make your speech attractive
E. This is especially true when it comes to public speaking
F. How can you control your nervousness to make it work for you rather than against you
G. But don't get into a panic about being perfect or about what will happen if you make a mistake

Every girl dreams and Jasmine is no exception. When Jasmine was young, she had read dozens of books on how to be a ballerina（芭蕾舞者）, Suan Lake was her favorite and she had always wanted to become the white swan in it. Later, she started taking ballet lessons and all her teachers confirmed she was a good student. In the hope of becoming a great ballerina, she trained hard on a daily basis.
One day, she saw an advertisement that a famous ballerina troupe（舞团）would be performing in her hometown. And the whole town was talking about the troupe leader, who was said to be the best ballet dancer in the world. Her thoughts ran wild. "I must meet the leader of the troupe and show him my skills" she murmured to herself.
She dressed herself in her best ballerina costume and managed to slip in the backstage without being noticed. To her luck, the leader entered the dressing room and she timidly knocked at the door "Come in" said a gentle voice. Opening the door, Jasmine saw a tall and slim man with a calm look on his face. She bravely approached him and handed him a bunch of red roses and in her excitement the thorns pricked（刺痛）her hand but she did not pay much attention to the pain.
The leader observed her action as she told him her dream. "Alright, you dance and I will give you my advice."
But half way through the dance he stopped her and said, "I'm sorry you're not good enough!" On hearing this, Jasmine's eyes opened wide in shock. It was seconds before she could absorb what was said to her, "Not good enough !" she asked in disbelief. "Yes, not good enough." replied the leader. Boiled in shame and rage, Jasmine ran out of the dressing room as fast as her legs could carry her. The leader's words were a huge blow to her confidence. Despite being so sad, she didn't give up her dream.

续写作文：
【答案】Six months later she heard that the same ballet troupe was performing in her town again. Bitter memories of the leader's harsh words came flooding back to her. This time she was determined to find out why the leader had told her she was not good enough when all her teachers thought otherwise. He replied, “I tell this to every student.” She angrily shot back, “You've ruined my life!” Then she got a further shock, “I remember your gift of roses and how the thorns had pricked your fingers but you carried on bravely.” He said if she did not give up so easily, it might be a different story.
Within three years, Jasmine had become a famous ballerina as she wanted. Guided by the troupe leader, she succeeded in attaining the leading position in the Swan Lake. Her elegant appearance and excellent performance on the stage was so amazing that she gained power over all the audiences. Despite being so famous, Jasmine still felt nervous sometimes. But one word would always calm her down: “If you want to pick roses, don’t be afraid of the thorns.”

Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav (卫星导航) systems to guide us. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.
On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically (国内地) produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.
Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has been increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.
When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support Beidou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.
Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow (犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.
With its many uses, the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative. “To date, the Beidou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the Beidou system.
Today, there are more than 20 Beidou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the Beidou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
“As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics (物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun, Secretary General of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example, can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future.”
28. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To compare some modern satnav systems.
B. To describe the benefits of satnav systems.
C. To tell us how satnav systems were created.
D. To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.
29. What can we know about the Beidou navigation system according to the article
A. It was used successfully in a new jet plane.
B. It is more powerful than other satnav systems.
C. It was introduced to China on October, 2017.
D. It wasn’t used in our everyday life until recently.
30. According to the article, the Beidou navigation system is already widely used for ____.
A. plowing the soil and sowing seeds
B. improving the efficiency of network
C. producing more smart locks for shared bikes
D. navigating ships across oceans to European countries
31. What is Miao Qianjun’s attitude toward the future of the Beidou system
A. Worried. B. Casual. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
One of the world's oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River Valley 508 kilometers(316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago." Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site," reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism &Antiquitics Departmen of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro's significance can't be underestimated. When it was added to UNESCO's register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,"making up of"the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent".
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it's clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100million Pakistani rupees($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs.UNESCO has responded to the request for help, delivering $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secreta General Antonio Guterres's visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum.While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites,it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjod have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter,Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger,which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
32.What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A.The geographic feature it bears.
B.The role it played in fighting floods.
C.The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D.The value it holds in history and architecture.
33.What does the underlined word"mitigate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Reduce. B.Suffer. C.Avoid D.Assess.
34.Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A.Creative B.Worrying C.Impractical D.Satisfactory.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Pakistan's Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B.Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C.Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D.Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of the major concerns of students in any speech class is stage fright. Actually, most people tend to be anxious before doing something important in public.The question is： 36
Acquire Speaking Experience
37 .You enroll (注册)in a public speaking course, where you will learn about speech making and gain speaking experience. For most students, the biggest part of stage fright is the fear of the unknown. The more you learn about public speaking and the more speeches you give, the less threatening speech making will become.
38
How much time should you devote to preparing your speeches A standard rule of thumb is that each minute of speaking time requires one to two hours of preparation time-perhaps more, depending on the amount of research needed for the speech. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.
Think Positively
Confidence is mostly the well-known power of positive thinking. If you think you can do it, you usually can. On the other hand, if you predict disaster and doom (厄运),that is almost always what you will get. 39 . Speakers who think negatively about themselves and the speech experience are much more likely to be overcome by stage fright than the speakers who think positively.
Don't Expect Perfection
It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. Sometimes an error or two can actually enhance a speaker's appeal by making her or him seem more human.
As you work on your speeches, make sure you prepare thoroughly and do all you can to get your message across to your listeners. 40 .Once you free your mind of these burdens, you will find it much easier to approach your speeches with confidence and even with enthusiasm.
A. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
B.You should take the first step
C. Be confident of failure
D. How do you make your speech attractive

Every girl dreams and Jasmine is no exception. When Jasmine was young, she had read dozens of books on how to be a ballerina（芭蕾舞者）, Suan Lake was her favorite and she had always wanted to become the white swan in it. Later, she started taking ballet lessons and all her teachers confirmed she was a good student. In the hope of becoming a great ballerina, she trained hard on a daily basis.
One day, she saw an advertisement that a famous ballerina troupe（舞团）would be performing in her hometown. And the whole town was talking about the troupe leader, who was said to be the best ballet dancer in the world. Her thoughts ran wild. "I must meet the leader of the troupe and show him my skills" she murmured to herself.
She dressed herself in her best ballerina costume and managed to slip in the backstage without being noticed. To her luck, the leader entered the dressing room and she timidly knocked at the door "Come in" said a gentle voice. Opening the door, Jasmine saw a tall and slim man with a calm look on his face. She bravely approached him and handed him a bunch of red roses and in her excitement the thorns pricked（刺痛）her hand but she did not pay much attention to the pain.
The leader observed her action as she told him her dream. "Alright, you dance and I will give you my advice."
But half way through the dance he stopped her and said, "I'm sorry you're not good enough!" On hearing this, Jasmine's eyes opened wide in shock. It was seconds before she could absorb what was said to her, "Not good enough !" she asked in disbelief. "Yes, not good enough." replied the leader. Boiled in shame and rage, Jasmine ran out of the dressing room as fast as her legs could carry her. The leader's words were a huge blow to her confidence. Despite being so sad, she didn't give up her dream.

续写作文：
【答案】Six months later she heard that the same ballet troupe was performing in her town again. Bitter memories of the leader's harsh words came flooding back to her. This time she was determined to find out why the leader had told her she was not good enough when all her teachers thought otherwise. He replied, “I tell this to every student.” She angrily shot back, “You've ruined my life!” Then she got a further shock, “I remember your gift of roses and how the thorns had pricked your fingers but you carried on bravely.” He said if she did not give up so easily, it might be a different story.
Within three years, Jasmine had become a famous ballerina as she wanted. Guided by the troupe leader, she succeeded in attaining the leading position in the Swan Lake. Her elegant appearance and excellent performance on the stage was so amazing that she gained power over all the audiences. Despite being so famous, Jasmine still felt nervous sometimes. But one word would always calm her down: “If you want to pick roses, don’t be afraid of the thorns.”
