Bridges are one of the best constructional inventions. You may be surprised to see that some old bridges are still standing and used by tourists. Some of the more modern bridges, on the other hand, reach breathtaking heights and are not for the faint of heart (胆小鬼).
The Bridge of Immortals (China)
The Bridge of Immortals connects the Huangshan mountain ranges in southern Anhui Province of eastern China. The bridge is terrifying to cross but the views are definitely rewarding and the photographs are pretty special too. The drop below is pretty dramatic and if you decide to cross, we only have a piece of advice to offer you crazy adventurers... Don’t look down!
Hussaini Hanging Bridge (Pakistan)
Hussaini Hanging Bridge is considered to be the most dangerous bridge in the world. This rope bridge is poorly maintained and shakes wildly when you walk across it. If you take a wrong step, you’ll end up flying into the Hunza River below.
Langkawi Sky Bridge (Malaysia)
This curious looking bridge in Malaysia is 400 feet above the ground and has been closed several times for maintenance purposes. Its reopening was delayed several times but it is now open for use, although not many people actually want to cross. There was a rumor (传闻) claiming that the bridge can potentially collapse.
Seven Mile Bridge (Florida)
The Seven Mile Bridge can be found in the Florida Keys and connects the Middle Keys to Little Duck Key in the Lower Keys. When it was constructed, it was one of the longest bridges in the world. It won 8 awards and one of these was the Exceptional Award for Cost Savings Innovation from the Federal Highway Administration.
1. Which of the following bridges is most welcomed by photographers

A father and car fan, Craig Blackburn, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son’s hope after seeing the children’s reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in fifty attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr. Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.
“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lover’s hope is to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.
4. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile
A. To realize his son’s dream.
B. To donate it to sick children.
C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.
D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
5. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first
A. Hopeful. B. Confused. C. Impossible. D. Challenging.
6. How did Blackburn’s friend help him
A. By making an outer shell for him. B. By offering him financial support.
C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars. D. By telling him the background of the car factory.
7. What is the car lover’s expectation of the Batmobile
A. It will be driven soon on the roads. B. It can be displayed around the world.
C. It can change the lives of sick children. D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了Craig Blackburn为了实现儿子的梦想，独自制造了一辆蝙蝠车的经过。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A father and car fan, Craig Blackburn, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children.(Craig Blackburn是一位父亲，也是一位车迷。他为儿子制造了一辆蝙蝠车，是出于儿子希望用它来照亮患病儿童的生活)”可知，Craig Blackburn制作蝙蝠车的最初目的是为了实现他儿子的梦想。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.(根据他在汽车集团中看到的失败的数量，他估计只有大约1 / 50的尝试建设确实完成了，他意识到他的机会是多么地渺茫)”可推知Craig Blackburn一开始认为自己制造蝙蝠车是很有挑战性的。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.(Blackburn在听说美国的一个朋友也在做同样的事情后，于2018年初启动了这个项目。一开始是从海外进口外壳，然后从一位有汽车工厂工人背景的朋友那里学习如何制造汽车的知识。在朋友的帮助下，布莱克本用18个月的时间造出了蝙蝠车，成本达到了六位数)”可知， Blackburn的朋友通过分享制造汽车的知识来帮助他。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As a result, the car lover’s hope is to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.(因此，这位爱车人的希望是让汽车尽快上路，带他和儿子一起去看望生病的孩子)”可知，这位汽车爱好者期望蝙蝠车很快就能上路。故选A。

Today China is the world’s biggest consumer of wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.
Wheat only came to the area now known as northern China toward the end of the Neolithic (新石器) period, some 4,600 years ago. Initially, wheat didn’t seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight. The first farmers of northern China primarily grew millet (粟), starting as early as 11,500 years ago. By the time of the Tang dynasty, wheat had replaced millet, becoming a major crop. But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.
In an attempt to track the answer, I accumulated (积累) a collection of nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago, to the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were across 8 modern provinces, ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.
One possible explanation is a major climate shift, called the Holocene Event 3, which happened 4,000 to 4,500 years ago. At that time, the climate became colder and drier across continents, causing damage to crop production.
On top of this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With an ever-increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to assume that Neolithic farmers in northern China were struggling.
Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history. But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat.
From more extreme weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes dramatic changes to societies. In this instance, the consequence of the Holocene Event 3 in northern China proved, eventually, delicious.
8. What can we learn about wheat from the second paragraph
A. It replaced millet for its great taste. B. It was a poor choice at the beginning.
C. It outnumbered millet 4,600 years ago. D. It was the earliest crop grown in China.
9. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show
A. The author found the exact answer. B. The author did the research cautiously.
C. The author did extensive research. D. The author was good at collecting data.
10. What was probably the main reason for northerners in China to grow wheat
A. The water supply was enough then. B. The harvest of millet was not satisfying.
C. It adjusted to the weather conditions better. D. It had an alternative sowing season with millet.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How was millet introduced to China
B. Why did Chinese farmers switch to wheat
C. How did China become the biggest wheat consumer
D. How was China’s wheat growth affected by climate change
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了小麦开始作为农作物的历史以及小麦成为了主要农作物这种转变的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Initially, wheat didn’t seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight.(起初，小麦似乎并不好吃，人们把它当作一种绝望的作物，而不是烹饪的乐趣)”可知，小麦一开始是一个糟糕的选择。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In an attempt to track the answer, I accumulated a collection of nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago, to the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were across 8 modem provinces, ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.(为了找到答案，我收集了近1200个数据点，涵盖了50多个地点，从大约9000年前的新石器时代中期到公元220年东汉王朝的崩溃。这些遗址横跨8个现代省份，从西北部的甘肃省到东部的山东省)”可推知，第三段中的数字说明了作者做了广泛的研究。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat.(但重要的是，它可以在谷子收获后播种。我们认为，这最有可能是中国北方人开始种植小麦的原因)”可知，中国北方人种植小麦的主要原因是它有一个可选择的播种季节。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Today China is the world’s biggest consumer of wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.(如今，中国是世界上最大的小麦消费国。但事情并不总是这样的)”以及第二段中“But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.(但人们对这种转变发生的确切原因知之甚少)”可知，文章介绍了小麦开始作为农作物的历史以及小麦成为了主要农作物这种转变的原因。可知，故B选项“为什么中国农民转向种植小麦？”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across towns, coughing out emissions (排放) and using gas all the way. But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming (流式传输) movies, we might get a little proud. After all, we’re just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You’re welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shit Project. According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 6.28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers (where videos are stored) there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as we become more enamored of our digital devices (设备) and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it to increase. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world’s population will be online.
You’re probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there’re things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it’s also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you’re not using your devices.
12. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in
A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.
B. The improvements on environmental awareness.
C. The environmental impacts of streaming services.
D. The change in the way people seek entertainment.
13. What does the underlined phrase “become more enamored of” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Get more skeptical of. B. Become more aware of.
C. Ge more worried about. D. Feel much crazier about.
14. What can we infer about the use of streaming services
A. Its environmental effects are worsening. B. It is being reduced to protect the planet.
C. It is easily available to almost everyone. D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
15. Which of the following is the most environmentally friendly
A. Playing Online games over mobile networks. B. Downloading music on a personal computer.
C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing. D. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了看流媒体电影也会对环境带来影响，呼吁人们做一些事情来帮助减少在线观看流媒体的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment.(在过去，当你不得不开车去电影院看一些娱乐节目时，很容易看到你的行为对环境的影响)”和“But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming (流式传输) movies, we might get a little proud.(但既然我们已经习惯了待在家里看电影，我们可能会有点骄傲)”以及第二段中“According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year.(根据《气候危机：在线视频的不可持续使用》，数字技术造成了4%的温室气体排放，而能源消耗正以每年9%的速度增长)”可知，第一段提到了过去开车去看电影和现在待在家看电影对环境的影响，我们自以为在家看流媒体电影对环境就比较友好，下文则描述了在家看流媒体电影对环境的影响也很大，由此可推断出，第一段想要引出的主题是流媒体服务对环境的影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Streaming is only expected to increase(流媒体预计只会增加)”以及下文“Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and ac count for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022.(从2017年到2022年，在线视频的使用预计将增长四倍，到2022年将占所有互联网流量的80%)”可知，在线视频的使用会增长，故我们应是越来越迷恋数字设备，以及随时随地享受娱乐的可能性的增加，导致了流媒体的增长，become more enamored of意为“变得更加着迷”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year.(根据《气候危机：在线视频的不可持续使用》，数字技术造成了4%的温室气体排放，而能源消耗正以每年9%的速度增长)”和第三段中“Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and ac count for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022.(从2017年到2022年，在线视频的使用预计将增长四倍，到2022年将占所有互联网流量的80%)”可知，流媒体对环境有影响，它越来越受人们的喜爱，而由此对环境造成的影响也在不断恶化。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Moreover, it’s also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you’re not using your devices.(此外，通过Wi-Fi进行流媒体播放也是一个好主意，尽可能在最小的屏幕上观看，如果你不使用设备，请关闭家中的Wi-Fi)”可知，用手机观看下载好的电影是最环保的，因为无需使用Wi-Fi，减少了在线使用。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍了关于唐装的相关信息，介绍了唐装的起源，在古代的象征意义以及现代对于唐装的使用和象征含义等。
【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意：唐装通常是指一种中式上衣。a type of意为“一种”，用于泛指，为固定用法。故填a。
2. 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：“唐装”一词是由海外华人创造的，从那时起就被广泛使用。分析句子可知，主语The term “Tang suit” (Tangzhuang)和谓语动词create之间是被动关系，主语是单数，并且唐装是在古代创造的，因此一般过去时的被动语态，因此be动词用was。故填was created。
3. 考查形容词的最高级。句意：作为中国封建社会历史上最富有、最强大的王朝，唐朝（618-907）在世界上是如此的著名，以至于外国人称海外华人为“唐人”，他们居住的地方为“唐人街”（字面意思是唐人的街），他们穿的衣服为“唐装”。根据并列的形容词最高级richest及空前的the可知，此处用所给形容词的最高级作定语，修饰dynasty。故填most powerful。
4. 考查副词。句意同上。此处考查“so ... that...”结构, 意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句，so修饰形容词famous作状语，故填so。
5. 考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句，先行词是the places，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故此处用关系副词where。故填where。
6. 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：唐装在中国文化中有两种，风格截然不同。该空为非限制性定语从句谓语部分，此处是一般性陈述，故此处用一般现在时，又因为从句主语which指代先行词two varieties，故此处用are。故填are。
7.考查名词。句意：一种是由汉服演变而来的正宗唐朝服装，它的特点是无扣的衣在右边缘重叠到左边缘，并用腰带和及踝的腰带系在一起，给人一种自由、轻松和优雅的印象。根据空前的修饰词“a free, easy and elegant”可知，此处用所给动词的名词形式，且为单数，作宾语。故填impression。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意：另一种是指清朝（1644-1911）马褂演变而来的满族男性上衣，吸收西式西装剪裁方法制成，以马褂领、蛙形或者对襟（一种胸前有纽扣的中国式上衣）为特色。主动含义，此处用所给动词的动名词一般式作介词by的宾语。故填absoring。
9. 考查副词。句意：实际上，我们今天看到的唐装是从马褂演变而来的，而不是汉服。此处用所给形容词的副词修饰整个句子，作状语，首字母大写。故填Actually。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：典型的唐装图案上有汉字，比如福（中文字面意思是幸福）和寿（中文字面意思是长寿），通常用来表达好运和最美好的祝愿。此处用所给动词的不定式作目的状语。故填to express。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Oh, this was terrible. “Thank you for volunteering to coach soccer…” the letter began. Coach Soccer Me That was crazy. My knowledge of the sport began and ended with you-can’t-use-your-hands.
I have just graduated from high school. There was a summer holiday long enough to do something unusual, Father advised me to pick up a part-time job in our community, like teaching kids to swim or helping them with their subjects. “You’ll learn a lot,” he said. So, when Community Sports asked for volunteers, I signed up for data entry, which, I thought was helping to put data into a computer. Keyboards, I knew. Coaching Impossible!
Realizing there must be something wrong, I quickly called the head coach about the misunderstanding. It did not go well. He had been away from home and would not be coaching at all. Panicked, I called the other assistant coach. He said, “It isn’t difficult to teach a bunch of first graders about soccer. Be confident.”
“Are you kidding me ” I hang up the phone, smiling bitterly.
I phoned a Community Sports officer about our dilemma. “I am sorry,” he said. “Not enough people are willing to volunteer. If you cannot coach, we will call your team and let them know they will not be playing this season.” Seriously, that was his solution I hang up the phone, saying I would call back to let him know my choice.
That afternoon, when Father came back, I told everything to him, complaining how careless and ridiculous the community workers were. They should have suggested my “pretending” to be a coach.
Father stared at me, “Hey, listen! I remember you like watching soccer games.”
“Watching is one thing but coaching is another,” I protested.
“Why not learn the game with the kids To those first graders, it’s just a game. Just make it fun. Besides, you’ll gain more than them.” I couldn’t imagine the kids’ disappointed faces when they were told their team wouldn’t play because they couldn’t find them a coach.
注意: 1, 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I called back.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then came the day when I would meet those kids for the first time.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
The next morning, I called back. “Okay,” I said. “Put me down for coach.” At the other end of the line, the man burst into laughter. He told me they would have a coaching clinic on Saturday which might help. But I could hardly wait that long. The moment I put down the phone, I rushed to my computer and started researching. Everything about soccer. Everything about how to get along with first graders. The more I learnt, the more confident I felt.
Then came the day when I would meet those kids for the first time. I took a deep breath and stepped onto the ground, where, 22 kids were waiting, their eyes sparkling with excitement and eagerness. That season, we played and won great popularity. The time spent with them proved rewarding. It’s not such a challenging job to teach them to play soccer because what mattered more was not to win but to make it fun to learn. More importantly, I learnt a life lesson: To be outstanding— get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Bridges are one of the best constructional inventions. You may be surprised to see that some old bridges are still standing and used by tourists. Some of the more modern bridges, on the other hand, reach breathtaking heights and are not for the faint of heart (胆小鬼).
The Bridge of Immortals (China)
The Bridge of Immortals connects the Huangshan mountain ranges in southern Anhui Province of eastern China.

This curious looking bridge in Malaysia is 400 feet above the ground and has been closed several times for maintenance purposes. Its reopening was delayed several times but it is now open for use, although not many people actually want to cross. There was a rumor (传闻) claiming that the bridge can potentially collapse.
Seven Mile Bridge (Florida)
The Seven Mile Bridge can be found in the Florida Keys and connects the Middle Keys to Little Duck Key in the Lower Keys. When it was constructed, it was one of the longest bridges in the world.

A father and car fan, Craig Blackburn, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son’s hope after seeing the children’s reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in fifty attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr. Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.
“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lover’s hope is to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.
4. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile
A. To realize his son’s dream.
B. To donate it to sick children.
C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.
D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
5. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first
A. Hopeful. B. Confused. C. Impossible. D. Challenging.
6. How did Blackburn’s friend help him
A. By making an outer shell for him. B. By offering him financial support.
C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars. D. By telling him the background of the car factory.
7. What is the car lover’s expectation of the Batmobile
A. It will be driven soon on the roads. B. It can be displayed around the world.
C. It can change the lives of sick children. D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.
C
Today China is the world’s biggest consumer of wheat. But it wasn’t always that way.
Wheat only came to the area now known as northern China toward the end of the Neolithic (新石器) period, some 4,600 years ago. Initially, wheat didn’t seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight. The first farmers of northern China primarily grew millet (粟), starting as early as 11,500 years ago. By the time of the Tang dynasty, wheat had replaced millet, becoming a major crop. But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.
In an attempt to track the answer, I accumulated (积累) a collection of nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago, to the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were across 8 modern provinces, ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.
One possible explanation is a major climate shift, called the Holocene Event 3, which happened 4,000 to 4,500 years ago. At that time, the climate became colder and drier across continents, causing damage to crop production.
On top of this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With an ever-increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to assume that Neolithic farmers in northern China were struggling.
Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history. But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat.
From more extreme weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes dramatic changes to societies. In this instance, the consequence of the Holocene Event 3 in northern China proved, eventually, delicious.
8. What can we learn about wheat from the second paragraph
A. It replaced millet for its great taste. B. It was a poor choice at the beginning.
C. It outnumbered millet 4,600 years ago. D. It was the earliest crop grown in China.
9. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show
A The author found the exact answer. B. The author did the research cautiously.
C. The author did extensive research. D. The author was good at collecting data.
10. What was probably the main reason for northerners in China to grow wheat
A. The water supply was enough then. B. The harvest of millet was not satisfying.
C. It adjusted to the weather conditions better. D. It had an alternative sowing season with millet.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How was millet introduced to China
B. Why did Chinese farmers switch to wheat
C. How did China become the biggest wheat consumer
D. How was China’s wheat growth affected by climate change
D
In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across towns, coughing out emissions (排放) and using gas all the way. But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming (流式传输) movies, we might get a little proud. After all, we’re just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You’re welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shit Project. According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 6.28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers (where videos are stored) there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as we become more enamored of our digital devices (设备) and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it to increase. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world’s population will be online.
You’re probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there’re things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it’s also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you’re not using your devices.
12. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in
A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.
B. The improvements on environmental awareness.
C. The environmental impacts of streaming services.
D. The change in the way people seek entertainment.
13. What does the underlined phrase “become more enamored of” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Get more skeptical of. B. Become more aware of.
C. Ge more worried about. D. Feel much crazier about.
14. What can we infer about the use of streaming services
A. Its environmental effects are worsening. B. It is being reduced to protect the planet.
C. It is easily available to almost everyone. D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
15. Which of the following is the most environmentally friendly
A. Playing Online games over mobile networks. B. Downloading music on a personal computer.
C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing. D. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Oh, this was terrible. “Thank you for volunteering to coach soccer…” the letter began. Coach Soccer Me That was crazy. My knowledge of the sport began and ended with you-can’t-use-your-hands.
I have just graduated from high school. There was a summer holiday long enough to do something unusual, Father advised me to pick up a part-time job in our community, like teaching kids to swim or helping them with their subjects. “You’ll learn a lot,” he said. So, when Community Sports asked for volunteers, I signed up for data entry, which, I thought was helping to put data into a computer. Keyboards, I knew. Coaching Impossible!
Realizing there must be something wrong, I quickly called the head coach about the misunderstanding. It did not go well. He had been away from home and would not be coaching at all. Panicked, I called the other assistant coach. He said, “It isn’t difficult to teach a bunch of first graders about soccer. Be confident.”
“Are you kidding me ” I hang up the phone, smiling bitterly.
I phoned a Community Sports officer about our dilemma. “I am sorry,” he said. “Not enough people are willing to volunteer. If you cannot coach, we will call your team and let them know they will not be playing this season.” Seriously, that was his solution I hang up the phone, saying I would call back to let him know my choice.
That afternoon, when Father came back, I told everything to him, complaining how careless and ridiculous the community workers were. They should have suggested my “pretending” to be a coach.
Father stared at me, “Hey, listen! I remember you like watching soccer games.”
“Watching is one thing but coaching is another,” I protested.
“Why not learn the game with the kids To those first graders, it’s just a game. Just make it fun. Besides, you’ll gain more than them.” I couldn’t imagine the kids’ disappointed faces when they were told their team wouldn’t play because they couldn’t find them a coach.
