（一）Remember
the
dead
April
4th
was
Tomb
Sweeping
Day,
a
day
when
Chinese
people
remember
family
members
and
friends
who
have
passed
away.
But
this
year
also
included
national
mourning(哀悼)
period
that
offered
people
a
chance
to
remember
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
in
the
fight
against
novel
coronavirus.
Starting
at
10
PM,
people
across
the
country
observed(遵守)
three
minutes
of
mourning.
Cars,
trains
and
ships
sounded
their
horns（喇叭）and
air
defense
warning
sirens（汽笛）went
off.
National
flags
lowered
to
half-mast
across
the
country
and
at
Chinese
embassies
（大使馆）Public
recreational（娱乐）activities
were
canceled
nationwide.
“Today
I’m
bidding
in
my
heart
a
final
farewell
to
the
deceased(已故的)，”said
community
worker
Deng
Linghao
from
Wuhan.
“We
who
stay
alive
must
stay
strong”
National
mourning
periods
are
not
commonly
held.
Only
a
few
such
mourning
periods
have
been
held
since
2000,including
one
for
the
2008
Wenchuan
earthquakes
in
Sichuan.
Besides
being
a
time
to
remember
the
dead,
many
people
also
suggested
that
the
national
mourning
period
was
a
good
time
to
teach
the
students
about
the
meaning
of
death.
It
is
believed
that
Chinese
students
don’t
know
much
about
the
topic,
as
it
is
a
tattoo(禁
忌)
to
discuss
it
in
public
culture.
According
to
a
study
from
People’s
Daily
about
90
percent
of
children
who
were
born
after
2010
said
their
parents
have
never
discussed
death
with
them.
But
in
Western
countries,
kids
learn
about
death
in
a
natural
way.
In
the
US,
for
example,
if
one
of
their
older
relatives
has
died,
children
will
attend
their
funeral.
Kids
can
also
learn
about
death
after
one
of
their
family
pets
dies.
They
might
even
learn
about
it
from
watching
movies
or
TV
shows.
“Facing
the
epidemic,
each
one
of
us
feels
that
life
is
vulnerable(脆弱的),”
Yuan
Weixing,
the
headmaster
of
Shenzhen
Xinan
Middle
School,
told
the
Paper.
“The
key
is
to
respect
and
cherish（珍惜）life
and
keep
living
with
a
brave
and
positive(积极的)
attitude.”

Touching
China
–
US
professor
introduces
China
to
the
world
William
N.
Brown,
a
professor
at
Xiamen
University,
was
listed
among
the
"
people
who
moved
China
in
2019".He
won
the
award
for
"striving（努力;
力求）
to
introduce
China
to
the
world".
Brown
and
his
family
moved
to
Xiamen
from
the
United
States
in
1988
when
he
started
working
at
the
School
of
Management
of
Xiamen
University（厦门大学管理学院）.
Four
years
later,
he
became
the
first
expat（移居国外者）
in
Fujian
to
acquire（获得）
a
permanent（永久的）
residence（居民）
permit
in
China.
According
to
Shen
Yifeng,
his
colleague（同事）
at
XMU.
"He
knows
even
more
about
China
and
Xiamen
than
we
do."
What
touched
Shen
the
most
is
that
Brown
spent
a
lot
of
money
collecting
books
and
pictures
that
recorded
the
city's
development
and
donated
them
to
a
local
museum
and
the
management
school.
Brown
has
also
played
his
part
in
promoting（提升）
the
city
to
the
world,
helping
Xiamen
and
Quanzhou
win
gold
medals
at
the
International
Garden
City
Competition（国际花园城市竞赛）
in
2002
and
2003,
respectively（分别地）.
In
1994,
Brown
drove
his
family
across
some
40,000
kilometers
in
China
and
visited
several
poor
regions.
The
trip
allowed
him
to
learn
more
about
the
rest
of
China
outside
Fujian.
He
recorded
his
experiences
and
impressions
on
China
through
letters
to
his
family
members
and
friends
in
the
US
over
the
past
decades（几十年）.
He
published
a
book
including
47
of
his
letters
written
since
1988
in
late
2018.
In
2019,
he
restarted
his
journey,
enabling
him
to
see
how
China
had
changed
over
the
past
25
years,
a
country
which
he
said
had
never
disappointed
him.
He
said
he
plans
to
write
another
two
books
to
record
his
journey,
reflecting
（反映）China's
achievements
through
its
reform
and
opening-up.

（三）
It
is
normal
for
you
to
see
your
parents
every
day.
But
for
Shen
Cong,
a
16-year-old
boy
in
Guangdong,
the
last
time
he
saw
his
parents
was
a
long
time
ago.
Shen
Cong,
who
went
missing
more
than
15
years
ago,
was
reunited
with
his
birth
parents
in
Guangzhou
on
March
8,
People’s
Daily
reported.
Shen
Cong
is
about
1.7
meters
tall
and
very
healthy.
He
is
cheerful
and
likes
playing
basketball.
“I
hope
my
son
can
live
a
normal
life
like
other
ordinary
(普通的)
children
in
the
future,”
Shen
Junliang,
Shen
Cong’s
father,
told
the
media.
According
to
the
police,
in
early
2005,
two
gang
(歹徒)
members
broke
into
Shen
Junliang’s
house
and
took
away
his
11-month-old
son
after
tying
up
his
wife
while
the
father
was
away.
The
boy
was
later
sold
for
13,000
yuan.
Shen
Junliang
and
his
wife
quit
their
jobs
after
their
son
was
abducted
(诱拐).
But
they
failed
to
find
him
after
traveling
to
Guangzhou,
Shenzhen,
Zhuhai,
Foshan,
Zhongshan
and
other
major
cities
in
Guangdong
over
the
years.
In
January,
the
police
found
Shen
Cong
in
Meizhou,
Guangdong.
Shen
Cong
was
one
of
nine
children
who
were
suspected
to
be
abducted
through
a
woman
known
as
“Aunt
Mei”
between
2003
and
2005.
So
far,
three
children,
including
Shen
Cong,
have
been
found.
It
is
estimated
(估计)
that
70,000
children
go
missing
in
China
every
year,
CGTN
reported.
However,
only
a
very
small
number
-
perhaps
5
percent
or
even
less
－
are
ever
found
and
reunited
with
their
families.
To
deal
with
this
problem,
the
Ministry
of
Public
Security
started
an
online
platform
(平台)
called
Tuanyuan
to
share
information
about
missing
children
in
May
2016.
As
of
November
2019,
the
platform
had
shared
information
about
4,297
missing
children.
Of
these,
4,217
have
been
found,
according
to
CGTN.

China's
polio
terminator
Gu
Fangzhou
中国脊髓灰质炎的终结者
顾方舟
Born
in
Ningbo,
eastern
China's
Zhejiang
Province,
Gu
served
as
the
former
president
of
Chinese
Academy
of
Medical
Sciences
and
Peking
Union
Medical
College.
He
was
elected
as
the
member
of
the
Royal
Society
of
Internal
Medicine
(London)
and
member
of
Third
World
Academy
of
Sciences.
Gu
had
devoted
to
the
prevention
and
control
of
polio（脊髓灰质炎）
for
42
years.
He
was
one
of
the
pioneers
in
developing
a
live（有活性的）
oral（口服的）
vaccine（疫苗）
and
has
made
significant
contributions（重大贡献）
to
eliminating（消灭）
polio
in
China.
Gu
succeeded
in
developing
first
polio
(Sabin
type)
live
vaccine
in
1959
and
developed
two
kinds
of
live
vaccine
–
liquid
and
sugar-coated（糖衣）
pills（药丸）
in
the
early
1960s,
saving
hundreds
of
thousands
of
children
from
disability（残疾）.
He
presided
（主持）over
the
establishment（建立）
of
China's
first
regulations（条例）
on
the
manufacture
（生产）and
verification（生产）
of
live
polio
vaccine,
which
guided
the
production
and
identification（鉴定）
of
billions
of
vaccines
in
China
over
the
next
20
years.
China
started
its
nationwide（全国范围内）
vaccination
campaign（战役）
with
oral
polio
vaccine
in
1965,
and
the
number
of
polio
cases
has
plummeted（骤降）
ever
since.
The
country
didn't
see
any
cases
caused
by
indigenous
wild
poliovirus（脊髓灰质炎病毒）
in
1994.
In
2000,
then
74-year-old
Gu,
as
a
representative（代表）,
signed
his
name
at
the
signing
ceremony
of
China's
confirmation（确定）
report
on
polio
eradication（根除）.
China
was
certified（证明合格）
by
the
WHO
（世界卫生组织）as
a
polio-free（无脊髓灰质炎）
country
in
October
that
year.

（五）海里的鱼为什么不能潜到海底？
The
ocean
is
home
to
tens
of
thousands
of
fish.
You
can
see
fish
swimming
freely
in
the
water.
But
you
may
not
know
that
fish
cannot
explore
every
part
of
the
ocean.
Recent
studies
have
found
that
the
deepest
depth
a
fish
can
swim
is
8,200
meters.
This
is
about
three
quarters
of
the
depth
of
the
deepest
part
of
the
ocean.
This
is
because
of
a
chemical
(化学物质)
in
fishes’
cells
that
is
called
trim
ethylamine
n-oxide
(TMAO,?三甲胺N-氧化物)).
For
example,
if
you
take
a
ping-pong
ball
10
meters
underwater,
the
pressure
turns
it
into
a
tiny
piece
of
plastic.
Most
things
break
down
after
a
certain
depth
underwater
because
of
the
high
pressure.
TMAO
warns
fish
of
this
danger
at
about
8,200
meters.
If
fish
swim
deeper,
the
TMAO
chemical
stops
working
and
starts
to
damage
the
fishes’
brain
cells.
Although
there
is
life
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea,
most
fish
live
within
the
top
1,000
meters
of
the
ocean.
Even
sharks,
which
are
often
described
as
the
“kings
of
the
ocean”,
have
never
swum
deeper
than
4,000
meters,
not
even
half
the
depth
of
the
ocean.
Deeper
down
in
the
ocean,
the
most
dangerous
animals
are
the
deep-sea
fish.
The
anglerfish
is
one
such
fish.
It
lives
about
2,000
meters
deep
in
the
ocean.
There
is
no
sunlight
at
this
depth.
But
anglerfish
can
produce
light
themselves.
They
use
this
light
to
find
food.
Below
even
these
fish
is
the
cusk-eel.
These
small
fish
live
close
to
the
ocean
floor
at
a
depth
of
8,000
meters,
far
out
of
reach
of
hungry
predators
(猎食者).

in

to
teach
the
students
about
the
meaning
of
death.
It
is
believed
that
Chinese
students
don’t
know
much
about
the
topic,
as
it
is
a
tattoo(禁
忌)
to
discuss
it
in
public
culture.
According
to
a
study
from
People’s
Daily
about
90
percent
of
children
who
were
born
after
2010
said
their
parents
have
never
discussed
death
with
them.
But
in
Western
countries,
kids
learn
about
death
in
a
natural
way.
In
the
US,
for
example,
if
one
of
their
older
relatives
has
died,
children
will
attend
their
funeral.
Kids
can
also
learn
about
death
after
one
of
their
family
pets
dies.
They
might
even
learn
about
it
from
watching
movies
or
TV
shows.
“Facing

the
world
William
N.
Brown,
a
professor
at
Xiamen
University,
was
listed
among
the
"
people
who
moved
China
in
2019".He
won
the
award
for
"striving（努力;
力求）
to
introduce
China
to
the
world".
Brown
and
his
family
moved
to
Xiamen
from
the
United
States
in
1988
when
he
started
working
at
the
School
of
Management
of
Xiamen
University（厦门大学管理学院）.
Four
years
later,
he
became
the
first
expat（移居国外者）
in
Fujian
to
acquire（获得）
a
permanent（永久的）
residence（居民）
permit
in
China.
According
to
Shen
Yifeng,
his
colleague（同事）
at
XMU.
"He
knows
even
more
about
China
and
Xiamen
than
we
do."
What
touched
Shen
the
most
is
that
Brown
spent
a
lot
of
money
collecting
books
and
pictures
that
recorded
the
city's
development
and
donated
them
to
a
local
museum
and
the
management
school.
Brown
has
also
played
his
part
in
promoting（提升）
the
city
to
the
world,
helping
Xiamen
and
Quanzhou
win
gold
medals
at
the
International
Garden
City
Competition（国际花园城市竞赛）
in
2002
and
2003,
respectively（分别地）.
In
1994,
Brown
drove
his
family
across
some
40,000
kilometers
in
China
and
visited
several
poor
regions.
The
trip
allowed
him
to
learn
more
about
the
rest
of
China
outside
Fujian.
He
recorded
his
experiences
and
impressions
on
China
through
letters
to
his
family
members
and
friends
in
the
US
over
the
past
decades（几十年）.
He
published
a
book
including
47
of
his
letters
written
since
1988
in
late
2018.
In
2019,
he
restarted
his
journey,
enabling
him
to
see
how
China
had
changed
over
the
past
25
years,
a
country
which

He
said
he
plans

achievements
through
its
reform
and

（三）
It
is
normal
for
you
to
see
your
parents
every
day.
But
for
Shen
Cong,
a
16-year-old
boy
in
Guangdong,
the
last
time
he
saw
his
parents
was
a
long
time
ago.
Shen
Cong,
who
went
missing
more
than
15
years
ago,
was
reunited
with
his
birth
parents
in
Guangzhou
on
March
8,
People’s
Daily
reported.
Shen
Cong
is
about
1.7
meters
tall
and
very
healthy.
He
is
cheerful
and
likes
playing
basketball.
“I
hope
my
son
can
live
a
normal
life
like
other
ordinary
(普通的)
children
in
the
future,”
Shen
Junliang,
Shen
Cong’s
father,
told
the
media.
According
to
the
police,
in
early
2005,
two
gang
(歹徒)
members
broke
into
Shen
Junliang’s
house
and
took
away
his
11-month-old
son
after
tying
up
his
wife
while
the
father
was
away.
The
boy
was
later
sold
for
13,000
yuan.
Shen
Junliang
and
his
wife
quit
their
jobs
after
their
son
was
abducted
(诱拐).
But
they
failed
to
find
him
after
traveling
to
Guangzhou,
Shenzhen,
Zhuhai,
Foshan,
Zhongshan
and
other
major
cities
in
Guangdong
over
the
years.
In
January,
the
police
found
Shen
Cong
in
Meizhou,
Guangdong.
Shen
Cong
was
one
of
nine
children
who
were
suspected
to
be
abducted
through
a
woman
known
as
“Aunt
Mei”
between
2003
and
2005.
So
far,
three
children,
including
Shen
Cong,
have
been
found.
It
is
estimated
(估计)
that
70,000
children
go
missing
in
China
every
year,
CGTN
reported.
However,
only
a
very
small
number
-
perhaps
5
percent
or
even
less
－
are
ever
found
and
reunited
with
their
families.
To
deal
with
this
problem,
the
Ministry
of
Public
Security
started
an
online
platform
(平台)
called
Tuanyuan
to
share
information
about
missing
children
in
May
2016.
As
of
November
2019,
the
platform
had
shared
information
about
4,297
missing
children.
Of
these,
4,217
have
been
found,
according
to
CGTN.

（五）海里的鱼为什么不能潜到海底？
The
ocean
is
home
to
tens
of
thousands
of
fish.
You
can
see
fish
swimming
freely
in
the
water.
But
you
may
not
know
that
fish
cannot
explore
every
part
of
the
ocean.
Recent
studies
have
found
that
the
deepest
depth
a
fish
can
swim
is
8,200
meters.
This
is
about
three
quarters
of
the
depth
of
the
deepest
part
of
the
ocean.
This
is
because
of
a
chemical
(化学物质)
in
fishes’
cells
that
is
called
trim
ethylamine
n-oxide
(TMAO,?三甲胺N-氧化物)).
For
example,
if
you
take
a
ping-pong
ball
10
meters
underwater,
the
pressure
turns
it
into
a
tiny
piece
of
plastic.
Most
things
break
down
after
a
certain
depth
underwater
because
of
the
high
pressure.
TMAO
warns
fish
of
this
danger
at
about
8,200
meters.
If
fish
swim
deeper,
the
TMAO
chemical
stops
working
and
starts
to
damage
the
fishes’
brain
cells.
Although
there
is
life
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea,
most
fish
live
within
the
top
1,000
meters
of
the
ocean.
Even
sharks,
which
are
often
described
as
the
“kings
of
the
ocean”,
have
never
swum
deeper
than
4,000
meters,
not
even
half
the
depth
of
the
ocean.
Deeper
down
in
the
ocean,
the
most
dangerous
animals
are
the
deep-sea
fish.
The
anglerfish
is
one
such
fish.
It
lives
about
2,000
meters
deep
in
the
ocean.
There
is
no
sunlight
at
this
depth.
But
anglerfish
can
produce
light
themselves.
They
use
this
light
to
find
food.
Below
even
these
fish
is
the
cusk-eel.
These
small
fish
live
close
to
the
ocean
floor
at
a
depth
of
8,000
meters,
far
out
of
reach
of
hungry
predators
(猎食者).
本文主要讲述了鱼之所以不能在深海处游泳，是因为鱼的细胞里含三甲胺N-氧化物TMAO。TMAO
在大约8200米深处会发出警告，如游往更深处会损害鱼的脑细胞。
1.
TMAO
______.
A.
is
a
chemical
in
the
ocean
B.
is
a
kind
of
plastic
C.
can
make
things
break
down
D.
can
protect
fish
from
danger
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第1句
TMAO
warns
fish
of
this
danger
at
about
8,200
meters
可知，TMAO
可在海里大约8200米深处警告鱼有危险。TMAO
这种物质存在于鱼的身体里，而不是海里，它也不是塑料，更不能分解东西，文中提到的分解
(break
down)
是指大部分东西在水下达到一定深度后，会在水的高压下分解，所以A、B、C选项均有误。
2.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“damage”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean?
A.
围绕
B.
损害
C.
生成
D.
保护
【答案】B
【解析】猜测词义题。根据
damage
所处的语境，鱼游往更深处，TMAO
会停止工作，开始
damage
鱼的脑细胞，由此推测
damage
意思是“损害，伤害，毁坏”。
3.
Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE?
A.
Most
fish
live
at
the
bottom
of
the
ocean.
B.
Sharks
can
swim
over
half
the
depth
of
the
ocean.
C.
Anglerfish
can
produce
light
to
find
food.
D.
Cusk-eels
are
easily
eaten
by
hungry
predators.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段最后两句
But
anglerfish
can
produce
light
themselves.
They
use
this
light
to
find
food
可知，anglerfish
能自己发光，借助所发出的光来觅食。A
选项中，鱼在海里最深只能到达8200米左右，不能生活在海底；B
选项鲨鱼只能到达4000米深，还不到海的一半深度，即第五段最后一句
not
even
half
the
depth
of
the
ocean；D
选项中，鼬鱼生活的地方是捕食者远远不能到达的地方，即文章最后一句
far
out
of
reach
of
hungry
predators。
4.
According
to
the
passage
how
many
meters
are
the
deepest
place
in
the
sea?
A.
about
47000meters
B.
about
6300meters
C.
about
8200meters
D.
about
10933meters
【答案】D
【解析】根据第二段第一句和第二句，我们知道8200米是最深处的3/4,可以计算出，最深处为10933meters，故选D
5.
What
does
the
story
mainly
tell
us?
A.
How
fish
live
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea.
B.
How
deep
fish
can
swim
in
the
ocean.
C.
How
TMAO
works
in
fishes’
brain
cells.
D.
How
fish
find
food
in
the
deep
ocean.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。第一段最后一句
But
you
may
not
know
that
fish
cannot
explore
every
part
of
the
ocean
引起下文，即：“鱼不能触及到海洋的每个部分”；第二段第1句
Recent
studies
have
found
that
the
deepest
depth
a
fish
can
swim
is
8,200
meters
切入主题，“最近的研究发现鱼游最深处是8200米”，并在下文中说明理由并举例论证。故B项符合题意。

（二）乘火车遇见“座霸”?不用怕,有人来管啦。
A
man
surnamed
Sun
is
in
the
hot
seat
for
stealing
a
woman’s
seat
on
a
high-speed
train
on
Aug
21,
2018.
In
a
video
posted
on
Sina
Weibo,
the
man
can
be
seen
sitting
in
a
seat.
When
the
woman
asked
him
to
give
her
seat
back,
he
refused
and
said
that
she
had
three
choices
(选择)
–
stand,
take
his
seat
or
go
to
the
dining
car.
A
train
attendant
then
tried
to
persuade
(说服)
him
to
give
the
seat
back.
Sun
said
that
he
wasn’t
able
to
stand
on
his
own
and
asked
for
a
wheelchair.
Left
with
no
other
choices,
the
attendant
led
the
woman
to
another
seat,
China
Daily
reported.
The
video
quickly
spread
online.
Many
internet
users
criticized
(指责)
Sun
for
his
actions.
Some
even
dug
up
his
name,
education
and
work
history
and
posted
the
information
online.
In
the
end,
Sun
was
fined
(罚款)
200
yuan
and
will
not
be
allowed
to
buy
train
tickets
for
180
days,
the
People’s
Daily
reported.
This
punishment
was
based
on
a
guideline
for
dealing
with
troublesome
passengers
set
out
by
railway
authorities.
The
guideline
came
into
force
(生效)
on
May
1,
2018.
According
to
the
guideline,
passengers
who
disturb
(扰乱)
public
order
will
be
fined
up
to
500
yuan
and
be
banned
(禁止)
from
buying
train
tickets
for
a
set
period
of
time.
However,
more
events
like
this
one
have
still
happened,
pushing
authorities
to
work
out
even
more
strict
regulations
(规定).
On
Sept
19,
a
woman
whose
last
name
was
Zhou
occupied
(占用)
a
window
seat
on
a
train
from
Hunan
to
Guangdong.
When
the
window
seat
passenger
asked
her
to
give
the
seat
back,
she
refused.
On
Sept
24,
a
foreign
woman
took
another
passenger’s
seat
on
a
high-speed
train.
She
refused
to
move
until
an
attendant
arrived.
In
turn,
the
government
of
Guangdong
province
set
up
a
new
regulation
that
came
into
effect
(生效)
on
Dec
1.
High-speed
train
passengers
who
refuse
to
move
after
taking
other
people’s
seats
will
face
fines
from
500
to
2,000
yuan.
Their
identities
(身份)
will
be
shared
with
other
parts
of
the
national
railway
network,
which
will
influence
their
right
to
buy
train
tickets,
China
Daily
reported.
Rules
in
other
countries
Other
countries
have
strict
laws
to
punish
those
who
behave
badly
in
the
public.
In
January
of
last
year,
an
18-year-old
girl
put
her
feet
on
the
seat
on
a
subway
car
in
Los
Angeles,
US.
A
subway
officer
forced
her
to
get
off
the
train,
The
Los
Angeles
Times
reported.
On
the
subway,
passengers
are
not
allowed
to
eat,
drink,
smoke,
gamble
(赌博),
throw
away
garbage
or
place
feet
or
shoes
on
seats.
According
to
California
state
law,
if
a
passenger
takes
someone
else’s
seat
and
refuses
to
give
it
back,
they
will
face
fines
of
$1,000
(6,815
yuan)
or
even
be
sent
to
jail
(监狱)
for
six
months.
In
Japan,
passengers
who
steal
others’
seats
are
also
punished.
In
April
2018,
a
man
occupied
an
entire
row
of
(一整排)
seats
for
his
coworkers.
People
all
over
the
country
criticized
him
on
social
media
and
even
complained
to
his
company.
Finally,
his
company
pushed
him
to
apologize
(道歉).
According
to
Japanese
railway
regulations,
passengers
who
disturb
public
order
will
be
fined
up
to
20,000
yen
(1,260
yuan).

(三)Still
more
work
to
do
Since
the
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
(新冠病毒)
began
in
Wuhan
in
Dec
2019,
China
has
mobilized
the
power
of
the
whole
country.
Now,
epidemic
(疫情)
control
and
prevention
efforts
are
starting
to
take
effect.
According
to
a
key
meeting
held
on
Feb
21,
the
spread
of
the
epidemic
is
being
contained.
On
Feb
24,
mainland
areas
outside
of
Hubei
reported
nine
new
infections
(感染),
the
first
single-digit
(个位数)
increase
in
weeks,
according
to
the
National
Health
Commission.
Vaccine
(疫苗)
development
is
also
progressing.
Some
vaccines
have
been
tested
on
animals,
according
to
the
Ministry
of
Science
and
Technology.
“If
vaccine
development
is
compared
to
building
a
house,
we
have
laid
the
foundation
(地基)
and
the
building
is
starting
to
emerge
(出现)
from
the
ground,”
Zeng
Yixin,
deputy
director
of
the
National
Health
Commission,
said
to
China
Daily.
However,
the
turning
point
of
the
epidemic
is
yet
to
come.
After
millions
of
people
return
to
work
in
major
cities,
the
number
of
new
infections
should
be
kept
low
for
two
weeks.
This
is
expected
to
be
a
turning
point
in
China,
according
to
the
Shanghai
Institutes
for
International
Studies.
But
the
situation
in
Hubei
is
still
serious.
The
situation
outside
of
China
is
concerning.
As
of
4
pm
on
Feb
27,
the
total
number
of
confirmed
(确诊)
infections
in
South
Korea
had
risen
to
1,766,
Xinhua
reported.
Italy
had
reported
470
confirmed
cases
as
of
Feb
26,
as
well
as
12
deaths.
Singapore,
Japan
and
Iran
have
also
found
cases.
“The
window
of
opportunity
(the
best
time
to
contain
the
outbreak)
may
be
closing,”
said
WHO
Director-General
Tedros
Adhanom
Ghebreyesus.
He
called
on
the
international
community
to
act
quickly
to
control
the
epidemic
before
the
window
closes
completely.

（四）How
to
become
confident
For
years
I
fought
with
the
“bird’s
nest”
on
top
of
my
head.
My
mother
thought
my
hair
was
naturally
beautiful,
but
my
classmates
didn’t
agree.
They
made
fun
of
it,
calling
my
hair
“the
mop
(拖把)”.
When
I
got
to
university,
I
decided
to
change
my
hairstyle.
I
had
my
curly
hair
straightened
(拉直).
However,
it
cost
me
$700
every
six
months
to
do
this.
People
said
I
was
crazy
to
spend
that
much.
But
for
me,
I
would
do
anything
to
never
again
see
that
curly-haired
girl
in
the
mirror.
But
when
I
had
to
start
renting
(租)
my
own
apartment,
the
cost
became
too
high.
So
I
turned
to
the
internet.
In
the
end,
I
found
a
“curly-haired”
salon,
a
place
designed
for
girls
with
crazy
hair.
When
I
arrived

A

the
woods
when
she
found
two
weak
birds.
She
took
them
home
and
put
them
in
a
small
cage
(鸟笼).
She
took
good
care
of
them.
The
birds
grew
strong.
Every
morning,
they
greeted
her
with
a
beautiful
song.
The
girl
felt
great
love
for
the
birds.
She
wanted
them
to
sing
for
her
forever.
One
day,
the
girl
left
their
cage
door
open.
The
bigger
of
the
two
birds
flew
out.
The
girl
watched
as
he
rose
high
into
the
sky.
She
was
afraid
that
he
would
fly
away
and
she
would
never
see
him
again.
As
he
flew
close,
she
caught
him
in
her
hand
and
held
him
tightly.
She
was
happy.
Suddenly,
she
felt
the
bird
go
limp
(无力的).
She
opened
her
hand.
The
bird

dead!
Her

She
took
him

the
cage
and
gently
tossed（抛）
him
into
the
air.
Would
the
bird
fly
away?
She
could
hardly
bear
to
watch.
But
the
bird
just
wanted
to
stretch
its
wings.
He
flew
around
the
girl
twice
and
then
came
to
rest
on
her
shoulder.
The
girl
watched
the
bird
with
joy
in
her
heart.
She
wasn’t
worried
anymore.
She
wanted
the
bird
to
be
happy.
The
bird
sat
by
the
girl’s
ear
and
sang
the

song
she
had
ever
heard.
The

keep
love

wings.

（二）乘火车遇见“座霸”?不用怕,有人来管啦。
A
man
surnamed
Sun
is
in
the
hot
seat
for
stealing
a
woman’s
seat
on
a
high-speed
train
on
Aug
21,
2018.
In
a
video
posted
on
Sina
Weibo,
the
man
can
be
seen
sitting
in
a
seat.
When
the
woman
asked
him
to
give
her
seat
back,
he
refused
and
said
that
she
had
three
choices
(选择)
–
stand,
take
his
seat
or
go
to
the
dining
car.
A
train
attendant
then
tried
to
persuade
(说服)
him
to
give
the
seat
back.
Sun
said
that
he
wasn’t
able
to
stand
on
his
own
and
asked
for
a
wheelchair.
Left
with
no
other
choices,
the
attendant
led
the
woman
to
another
seat,
China
Daily
reported.
The
video
quickly
spread
online.
Many
internet
users
criticized
(指责)
Sun
for
his
actions.
Some
even
dug
up
his
name,
education
and
work
history
and
posted
the
information
online.
In
the
end,
Sun
was
fined
(罚款)
200
yuan
and
will
not
be
allowed
to
buy
train
tickets
for
180
days,
the
People’s
Daily
reported.
This
punishment
was
based
on
a
guideline
for
dealing
with
troublesome
passengers
set
out
by
railway
authorities.
The
guideline
came
into
force
(生效)
on
May
1,
2018.
According
to
the
guideline,
passengers
who
disturb
(扰乱)
public
order
will
be
fined
up
to
500
yuan
and
be
banned
(禁止)
from
buying
train
tickets
for
a
set
period
of
time.
However,
more
events
like
this
one
have
still
happened,
pushing
authorities
to
work
out
even
more
strict
regulations
(规定).
On
Sept
19,
a
woman
whose
last
name
was
Zhou
occupied
(占用)
a
window
seat
on
a
train
from
Hunan
to
Guangdong.
When
the
window
seat
passenger
asked
her
to
give
the
seat
back,
she
refused.
On
Sept
24,
a
foreign
woman
took
another
passenger’s
seat
on
a
high-speed
train.
She
refused
to
move
until
an
attendant
arrived.
In
turn,
the
government
of
Guangdong
province
set
up
a
new
regulation
that
came
into
effect
(生效)
on
Dec
1.
High-speed
train
passengers
who
refuse
to
move
after
taking
other
people’s
seats
will
face
fines
from
500
to
2,000
yuan.
Their
identities
(身份)
will
be
shared
with
other
parts
of
the
national
railway
network,
which
will
influence
their
right
to
buy
train
tickets,
China
Daily
reported.
Rules
in
other
countries
Other
countries
have
strict
laws
to
punish
those
who
behave
badly
in
the
public.
In
January
of
last
year,
an
18-year-old
girl
put
her
feet
on
the
seat
on
a
subway
car
in
Los
Angeles,
US.
A
subway
officer
forced
her
to
get
off
the
train,
The
Los
Angeles
Times
reported.
On
the
subway,
passengers
are
not
allowed
to
eat,
drink,
smoke,
gamble
(赌博),
throw
away
garbage
or
place
feet
or
shoes
on
seats.
According
to
California
state
law,
if
a
passenger
takes
someone
else’s
seat
and
refuses
to
give
it
back,
they
will
face
fines
of
$1,000
(6,815
yuan)
or
even
be
sent
to
jail
(监狱)
for
six
months.
In
Japan,
passengers
who
steal
others’
seats
are
also
punished.
In
April
2018,
a
man
occupied
an
entire
row
of
(一整排)
seats
for
his
coworkers.
People
all
over
the
country
criticized
him
on
social
media
and
even
complained
to
his
company.
Finally,
his
company
pushed
him
to
apologize
(道歉).
According
to
Japanese
railway
regulations,
passengers
who
disturb
public
order
will
be
fined
up
to
20,000
yen
(1,260
yuan).

Commission.
Vaccine
(疫苗)
development
is
also
progressing.
Some
vaccines
have
been
tested
on
animals,
according
to
the
Ministry
of
Science
and
Technology.
“If
vaccine
development
is
compared
to
building
a
house,
we
have
laid
the
foundation
(地基)
and
the
building
is
starting
to
emerge
(出现)
from
the
ground,”
Zeng
Yixin,
deputy
director
of
the
National
Health
Commission,
said
to
China
Daily.
However,
the
turning
point
of
the
epidemic
is
yet
to
come.
After
millions
of
people
return
to
work
in
major
cities,
the
number
of
new
infections
should
be
kept
low
for
two
weeks.
This
is
expected
to
be
a
turning
point
in
China,
according
to
the
Shanghai
Institutes
for
International
Studies.
But
the
situation
in
Hubei
is
still
serious.
The
situation
outside
of
China
is
concerning.
As
of
4
pm
on
Feb
27,
the
total
number
of
confirmed
(确诊)
infections
in
South
Korea
had
risen
to
1,766,
Xinhua
reported.
Italy
had
reported
470
confirmed
cases
as
of
Feb
26,
as
well
as
12
deaths.
Singapore,
Japan
and
Iran
have
also
found
cases.
“The
window
of
opportunity
(the
best
time
to
contain
the
outbreak)
may
be
closing,”
said
WHO
Director-General
Tedros
Adhanom
Ghebreyesus.
He
called
on
the
international
community
to
act
quickly
to
control
the
epidemic
before
the
window
closes
completely.

（四）How
to
become
confident
For
years
I
fought
with
the
“bird’s
nest”
on
top
of
my
head.
My
mother
thought
my
hair
was
naturally
beautiful,
but
my
classmates
didn’t
agree.
They
made
fun
of
it,
calling
my
hair
“the
mop
(拖把)”.
When
I
got
to
university,
I
decided
to
change
my
hairstyle.
I
had
my
curly
hair
straightened
(拉直).
However,
it
cost
me
$700
every
six
months
to
do
this.
People
said
I
was
crazy
to
spend
that
much.
But
for
me,
I
would
do
anything
to
never
again
see
that
curly-haired
girl
in
the
mirror.
But
when
I
had
to
start
renting
(租)
my
own
apartment,
the
cost
became
too
high.
So
I
turned
to
the
internet.
In
the
end,
I
found
a
“curly-haired”
salon,
a
place
designed
for
girls
with
crazy
hair.
When
I
arrived
there,
the
stylist,
Jacquai,
was
waiting
for
me.
“Do
you
really
think
this
will
work?”
I
asked.
“No
curly
hair
is
hopeless,”
she
replied.
“You
just
haven’t
found
a
way
to
work
with
it.
That’s
all.”
After
the
hour
was
over,
Jacquai
had
completed
her
task.
She
had
fixed
my
hair
using
only
her
hands.
I
couldn’t
believe
it
?
my
hair
looked
beautiful.
Now
my
world
has
changed.
I
am
more
outgoing
and
confident
than
ever.
People
say
that
I’m
looking
better
than
ever,
but
that
they
can’t
figure
out
what
has
changed.
I
don’t
need
to
tell
them.
My
hair
speaks
for
itself.
本文讲述了一个女孩因有一头卷发遭到同学嘲弄，决定改变发型、重拾自信的故事。故事演绎了女孩如何从不自信走向自信的精神成长历程。

“bird’s
nest”?
A.
curly
hair

hair

dollars.

dollars.

it
cost
me
$700
every
six
months
to
do
this
可知，半年做一次头发要花700美元，所以一年得要花1400美元。
3.

did

writer
look
for
a
curly-haired
salon?
A.
Because
people
said
she
was
crazy.

Because
she
wanted
to
have
a
new
hair
style.
C.
Because
she
couldn’t
afford
to
straighten
her
hair.
D.
Because
she
thought
her
curly
hair
was
hopeless.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题

when
I
had
to
start
renting
my
own
apartment,
the
cost
became
too
high
可知，因女孩要付房租，已承担不起做头发的高额费用。

the
story?

curly
hair
at
all.
D.
The
writer
accepted
her
curly
hair
in
the
end.
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意及推理判断。全文讲述了女孩因头发不自信到自信的华丽转变，根据最后一段最后一句话
My
hair
speaks
for
itself
可知，女孩已接受并且喜欢自己的卷发。

paragraph
mean?
A.
估计

say
that

can't
figure
out
what
changed
可知，人们搞不明白女孩具体发生了哪些改变。
（五）
A
girl
was
walking
in
the
woods
when
she
found
two
weak
birds.
She
took
them
home
and
put
them
in
a
small
cage
(鸟笼).
She
took
good
care
of
them.
The
birds
grew
strong.
Every
morning,
they
greeted
her
with
a
beautiful
song.
The
girl
felt
great
love
for
the
birds.
She
wanted
them
to
sing
for
her
forever.
One
day,
the
girl
left
their
cage
door
open.
The
bigger
of
the
two
birds
flew
out.
The
girl
watched
as
he
rose
high
into
the
sky.
She
was
afraid
that
he
would
fly
away
and
she
would
never
see
him
again.
As
he
flew
close,
she
caught
him
in
her
hand
and
held
him
tightly.
She
was
happy.
Suddenly,
she
felt
the
bird
go
limp
(无力的).
She
opened
her
hand.
The
bird
was
dead!
Her
love
had
stolen
life
from
the
beautiful
songbird.
The
other
bird
was
pushing
against
the
bars
(条)
of
the
cage.
She
could
see
how
much
he
wanted
to
be
free.
She
took
him
out
of
the
cage
and
gently
tossed（抛）
him
into
the
air.
Would
the
bird
fly
away?
She
could
hardly
bear
to
watch.
But
the
bird
just
wanted
to
stretch
its
wings.
He
flew
around
the
girl
twice
and
then
came
to
rest
on
her
shoulder.
The
girl
watched
the
bird
with
joy
in
her
heart.
She
wasn’t
worried
anymore.
She
wanted
the
bird
to
be
happy.
The
bird
sat
by
the
girl’s
ear
and
sang
the
sweetest
song
she
had
ever
heard.
The
best
way
to
keep
love
is
to
give
it
wings.
本文讲述了一个小女孩在树林里捡到两只小鸟、带回家悉心照料使之康复，最后理解了小鸟对自由的渴望，把它放出笼子，让它自由飞翔的故事。随着故事情节的发展，小女孩对爱的认识逐步加深，表达了“自由飞翔的爱才会永恒”的主题。

and

In

times,
there
are
always
individuals
who
step
up
and
bring
people
hope
and
confidence.
These
two
pages
salute
the
heroes
who
have
made
great
contributions
during
the
outbreak.
Let’s
read
their
stories
together.
Zhong
Nanshan
has
been
on
the
frontlines
fighting
the
virus.
CHINA
DAILY
“Please
don’t
travel
to
Wuhan
unless
it’s
absolutely
necessary,”
Zhong
Nanshan,
a
famous
respiratory
(呼吸科的)
expert,
reminded
the
public
when
the
novel
coronavirus
first
hit
Wuhan.
But
despite
the
danger,
he,
84,
rushed
on
an
overnight
train
to
Wuhan
to
fight
the
disease.
Known
as
the
hero
who
defeated
SARS
in
2003,
Zhong’s
image
and
messages
are
flooding
(遍布)
social
media.
Many
people
say
they
“trust
every
word
of
Zhong”.
He
has
given
Chinese
people
confidence
in
winning
the
battle.
A
great
doctor
and
honest
scholar
(学者)
Growing
up
in
a
family
of
doctors,
Zhong
lives
by
a
simple
motto
(信条):
save
lives
and
always
be
honest.
In
2003,
when
SARS
hit
China,
he
volunteered
to
treat
patients
and
asked
his
colleagues
(同事)
to
send
their
most
serious
cases
to
him.
After
months
of
work,
his
treatment
plan
for
SARS
was
adopted
(采纳)
by
China
and
then
the
whole
world,
saving
thousands
of
lives,
People’s
Daily
reported.
Zhong
is
also
known
for
being
an
honest
scholar.
In
2003,
when
authorities
(官方)
said
that
the
SARS
virus
was
under
control,
he
publicly
refuted
their
claim.
“I
couldn’t
help
myself.
I
said
it’s
not
all
under
control,”
Zhong
said
in
a
later
interview.
His
honesty
won
widespread
praise
from
the
Chinese
public.
Back
to
the
frontlines
Seventeen
years
later,
Zhong
is
once
again
leading
an
expert
team
to
study
the
novel
coronavirus.
Although
this
new
virus
is
known
to
be
more
dangerous
to
the
elderly,
Zhong
doesn’t
seem
worried
about
his
own
safety.
On
Jan
18,
he
took
a
high-speed
train
from
Guangzhou
to
Wuhan.
Two
days
later,
he
became
the
first
expert
to
make
certain
that
the
new
virus
can
be
spread
between
humans.
On
January
29,
he
and
his
colleagues
spent
over
four
hours
online
checking
five
patients
who
were
in
serious
condition.
The
next
day,
he
chose
the
treatment
for
those
patients.
Under
his
guidance,
his
team
developed
a
rapid
test
kit
(快速检测试剂盒)
for
the
disease
that
can
show
results
within
15
minutes.
As
People’s
Daily
wrote,
“the
84-year-old
Zhong
Nanshan
shows
his
professionalism
as
a
scholar,
courage
as
a
soldier,
and
a
sense
of
duty
as
the
backbone
(脊梁)
of
our

（二）“胖五B”首飞成功！实现太空3D打印。
China’s
Long
March
5B
rocket
lifted
off
from
the
Wenchang
Launch
Center
in
Hainan
on
May
5,
marking
a
new
chapter
(篇章)
in
China’s
exploration
(探索)
of
outer
space.
China
has
long
used
its
Long
March
rockets
to
send
satellites
(卫星),
astronauts
and
probes
(探测器)
into
space,
but
the
latest
addition
to
the
Long
March
family
is
a
bit
different.
For
one
thing,
the
rocket
features
(拥有)
a
new
configuration
(配置).
Designers
removed
the
rocket’s
second
launch
stage
and
replaced
it
with
a
bigger
volume
(容量)
for
payloads
(有效载荷),
according
to
Spaceflight
Now.
This
means
the
rocket
can
carry
even
more
equipment
into
outer
space.
In
fact,
it
has
a
total
payload
capacity
(容量)
of
20
tons,
the
most
of
any
of
China’s
rockets,
according
to
Xinhua.
Why
is
this
important?
It’s
mainly
because
the
Long
March
5B
will
be
responsible
for
carrying
the
large
components
(组件)
that
will
eventually
be
used
to
build
China’s
first
space
station,
according
to
Xinhua.
The
space
station
is
expected
to
be

May

This
year
is
the
100th
anniversary
of
a
great
movement-the
May
Fourth
Movement,
China’s
first
mass
student
movement.
It
was
a
political,
anti-imperialist
(反帝国主义)
movement
launched
by
students
and
joined
by
people
from
all
walks
of
life.
The
movement
gets
its
name
from
a
protest
(抗议)
held
in
Beijing
on
May
4,
1919.
The
protest
followed
the
announcement
of
the
Treaty
of
Versailles
(《凡尔赛公约》)
that
concluded
WWI.
According
to
the
treaty,
Germany’s
colonial
rights
(殖民权)
in
China
were
not
cancelled,
but
were
turned
over
to
the
Japanese.
The
movement
called
upon
people
to
fight
for
independence
and
pushed
for
more
diverse
thinking.
Young
men
and
women
called
for
women’s
rights
and
criticized
(批评)
the
tradition
of
arranged
marriages.
Writers
explored
new
forms
of
literature.
Other
people
looked
at
political
and
social
thought,
like
Marxism
(马克思主义),
to
find
a
path
for
China’s
future.
The
May
Fourth
Movement
is
very
important
in
China’s
history.
“It
was
a
great
social
revolutionary
(革命性的)
movement
launched
by
the
Chinese
people
to
save
the
nation
from
subjugation
(镇压),
safeguard
national
dignity
(尊严)
and
pool
(汇聚)
national
strength
together,”
said
President
Xi
Jinping,
also
general
secretary
of
the
Communist
Party
of
China
Central
Committee.
The
spirit
of
the
movement
is
still
a
central
value
for
Chinese
youth
today.
Xi
underlined
the
need
to
strengthen
studies
of
the
May
Fourth
Movement
and
its
spirit
during
a
speech
at
the
group
study
session
of
the
Political
Bureau
of
the
CPC
Central
Committee
on
April
19,
according
to
Xinhua.
Xi’s
call
for
greater
study
of
the
movement
will
help
younger
generations
better
understand
the
value
of
its
spirit.
Xi’s
remarks
will
guide
younger
generations
in
using
history
as
a
mirror
and
combining
their
personal
ideals
(理想)
with
the
dream
of
national
rejuvenation
(复兴),
Hu
Xianzhong,
a
senior
researcher
at
the
China
Youth
and
Children
Research
Center,
said
in
an
article
published
by
China
Youth
Daily
on
April
21.
Chen
Yuhao,
a
postgraduate
student
at
the
University
of
International
Business
and
Economics,
said
the
spirit
of
patriotism
,
progress,
democracy
(民主)
and
science
are
still
core
values
(核心价值)
of
Chinese
youth
and
should
be
upheld
and
carried
forward
in
the
new
era.

（四）
Thousands
of
years
ago,
people
didn’t
know
that
the
Earth
moved.
They
thought
the
sun
really
did
move
across
the
sky.
The
Greek
god
Helios
was
said
to
drive
the
sun
across
the
sky
with
his
chariot
(战车).
But
now,
the
way
people
think
has
changed.
Nowadays,
it
is
the
sun
that
drives
a
“chariot”
around
the
sky.
What
do
I
mean
by
this?
Well,
quite
simply,
there
is
now
a
plane
(or
“chariot”)
that
is
powered
by
the
sun.
It
has
special
parts
on
its
wings.
These
parts
absorb
(吸收)
power
from
the
sun.
They
absorb
so
much
power
that
the
plane
can
still
fly
even
at
night.
In
Greek
mythology
(神话),
Helios
had
to
take
a
break
at
night.
It
seems
we’re
finally
even
more
powerful
than
the
gods
themselves.
This
plane
is
called
Solar
Impulse.
It
will
fly
across
the
US
in
May.
This
is
very
important
for
the
future
of
the
world.
Why
is
solar
energy
(太阳能)
important?
Well,
other
kinds
of
energy
are
known
to
cause
problems.
If
you
live
in
China,
you’ve
probably
noticed
the
pollution.
This
is
caused
by
burning
coal
and
gas
to
make
energy.
The
heat
and
chemicals
created
by
burning
these
things
give
us
power.
But
if
we
use
power
from
the
sun,
we
don’t
have
to
burn
anything
and
there
will
not
be
any
pollution.
Solar
energy
is
not
entirely
ready
yet.
It
needs
to
be
improved.
But
the
best
thing
about
it
is
that,
unlike
coal
and
gas,
it
doesn’t
run
out.
The
Solar
Impulse
plane
could
pretty
much
keep
flying
forever.
Of
course,
the
sun’s
light
will
eventually
run
out
too
one
day,
but
not
for
another
5
billion
years.
That’s
a
pretty
long
flight.
1.
The
plane
Solar
Impulse
______.
A.
cannot
fly
at
night
B.
is
powered
by
chemicals
C.
is
driven
by
solar
energy
D.
was
made
in
the
US
2.
Paragraph
4
mainly
tells
us
that
______.
A.
using
solar
energy
causes
less
pollution
B.
solar
energy
is
the
best
kind
of
energy
C.
creating
energy
by
burning
things
causes
pollution
D.
burning
things
will
not
be
allowed
in
China
3.
Which
is
the
story
probably
taken
from?
A.
A
science
magazine.
B.
A
history
textbook.
C.
A
Greek
myth.
D.
A
storybook.
4.
What’s
the
story
mainly
about?
A.
The
story
of
the
Greek
god
Helios.
B.
How
China
makes
use
of
energy.
C.
The
uses
and
advantages
of
solar
energy.
D.
The
disadvantages
of
burning
coal
and
gas.
5.Do
you
think
solar
energy
will
take
the
place
of
all
kinds
of
other
energy
in
the
long
future
?
Why
or
why
not?
A.
Yes,
we
do.
Because
coal
or
oil
or
gas
ect.
will
be
run
out
of
soon
B.
No,
we
don’t.
Because
coal
or
oil
or
gas
ect.
will
not
be
run
out
of
soon
C.
No，we
think
solar
energy
can’t
take
the
place
of
all
kinds
of
energy
and
it’s
not
necessary.
D.
Yes,
we
do.
But
It
will
be
realized
in
the
very
very
long
future.
（五）Do
you
practice
yoga?
In
India,
yoga
is
very
popular.
Not
only
young
persons
but
also
the
old
like
practicing
it
in
their
spare
time.
Now
yoga
has
become
one
of
the
most
popular
healthy
ways
around
the
world.
In
order
to
keep
fit
and
lose
weight,
many
girls
spend
more
than
1,000
yuan
taking
in
yoga
classes
every
month
However,
there
are
several
things
you
should
know
before
you
really
take
it.
First,
don’t
force
your
body
too
much.
Yoga
has
many
difficult
poses（姿势）.They
are
beautiful.
But
if
you
force
yourself
to
do
as
exactly
as
the
yoga
teacher
does,
you
may
hurt
your
body.
You
should
practice
it
step
by
step.
Second,
you
should
take
part
in
better
yoga
classes
and
you
should
find
good
yoga
teachers.
Some
yoga
teachers
have
learned
little.
An
unqualified
teacher
might
wrongly
teach
you
in
his
classes.
It’s
not
worth
paying
much
money
for
these
yoga
classes.
Third,
it
would
be
better
to
learn
something
about
nutrition（营养）when
you
practice
yoga.
In
India,
it
can
be
regarded
as
a
kind
of
lifestyle.
When
you
have
decided
to
care
for
your
body,
why
not
feed
it
properly?
So,
make
sure
you
are
ready
before
you
act.
The
fashion
may
change
quickly.
But
What
benefits
is
still
good
for
us.
1.
According
to
the
first
paragraph,
some
girls

of
money

food

yoga

You
may
_____if

force
yourself

the
yoga
classes.
A.
feel
very
happy
B.
feel
hungry
C.
hurt
your
body
D.
get
fat

does
the
underlined
word
“unqualified”
mean
in
Chinese?
A.
不合格的
B.
笨拙的
C.
不成熟的

不开心的
4.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true?

and
more
people
practice
yoga
in
their
spare
time
B.
You
must
do
as
exactly
as
the
yoga
teacher
does
C.
You
should
practice
yoga
step
by
step.
D.
It
will
be
better
to
learn
something
about
nutrition
when
you
practice
yoga.

（一）Soldier
and
scholar
In
difficult
times,
there
are
always
individuals
who
step
up
and
bring
people
hope
and
confidence.
These
two
pages
salute
the
heroes
who
have
made
great
contributions
during
the
outbreak.
Let’s
read
their
stories
together.
Zhong
Nanshan
has
been
on
the
frontlines
fighting
the
virus.
CHINA
DAILY
“Please
don’t
travel
to
Wuhan
unless
it’s
absolutely
necessary,”
Zhong
Nanshan,
a
famous
respiratory
(呼吸科的)
expert,
reminded
the
public
when
the
novel
coronavirus
first
hit
Wuhan.
But
despite
the
danger,
he,
84,
rushed
on
an
overnight
train
to
Wuhan
to
fight
the
disease.
Known
as
the
hero
who
defeated
SARS
in
2003,
Zhong’s
image
and
messages
are
flooding
(遍布)
social
media.
Many
people
say
they
“trust
every
word
of
Zhong”.
He
has
given
Chinese
people
confidence
in
winning
the
battle.
A
great
doctor
and
honest
scholar
(学者)
Growing
up
in
a
family
of
doctors,
Zhong
lives
by
a
simple
motto
(信条):
save
lives
and
always
be
honest.
In
2003,
when
SARS
hit
China,
he
volunteered
to
treat
patients
and
asked
his
colleagues
(同事)
to
send
their
most
serious
cases
to
him.
After
months
of
work,
his
treatment
plan
for
SARS
was
adopted
(采纳)
by
China
and
then
the
whole
world,
saving
thousands
of
lives,
People’s
Daily
reported.
Zhong
is
also
known
for
being
an
honest
scholar.
In
2003,
when
authorities
(官方)
said
that
the
SARS
virus
was
under
control,
he
publicly
refuted
their
claim.
“I
couldn’t
help
myself.
I
said
it’s
not
all
under
control,”
Zhong
said
in
a
later
interview.
His
honesty
won
widespread
praise
from
the
Chinese
public.
Back
to
the
frontlines
Seventeen
years
later,
Zhong
is
once
again
leading
an
expert
team
to
study
the
novel
coronavirus.
Although
this
new
virus
is
known
to
be
more
dangerous
to
the
elderly,
Zhong
doesn’t
seem
worried
about
his
own
safety.
On
Jan
18,
he
took
a
high-speed
train
from
Guangzhou
to
Wuhan.
Two
days
later,
he
became
the
first
expert
to
make
certain
that
the
new
virus
can
be
spread
between
humans.
On
January
29,
he
and
his
colleagues
spent
over
four
hours
online
checking
five
patients
who
were
in
serious
condition.
The
next
day,
he
chose
the
treatment
for
those
patients.
Under
his
guidance,
his
team
developed
a
rapid
test
kit
(快速检测试剂盒)
for
the
disease
that
can
show
results
within
15
minutes.
As
People’s
Daily
wrote,
“the
84-year-old
Zhong
Nanshan
shows
his
professionalism
as
a
scholar,
courage
as
a
soldier,
and
a
sense
of
duty
as
the
backbone
(脊梁)
of
our
nation.”

（二）“胖五B”首飞成功！实现太空3D打印。
China’s
Long
March
5B
rocket
lifted
off
from
the
Wenchang
Launch
Center
in
Hainan
on
May
5,
marking
a
new
chapter
(篇章)
in
China’s
exploration
(探索)
of
outer
space.
China
has
long
used
its
Long
March
rockets
to
send
satellites
(卫星),
astronauts
and
probes
(探测器)
into
space,
but
the
latest
addition
to
the
Long
March
family
is
a
bit
different.
For
one
thing,
the
rocket
features
(拥有)
a
new
configuration
(配置).
Designers
removed
the
rocket’s
second
launch
stage
and
replaced
it
with
a
bigger
volume
(容量)
for
payloads
(有效载荷),
according
to
Spaceflight
Now.
This
means
the
rocket
can
carry
even
more
equipment
into

a
total
payload
capacity
(容量)
of
20
tons,
the
most
of
any

about
May

This
year
is
the
100th
anniversary
of
a
great
movement-the
May
Fourth
Movement,
China’s
first
mass
student
movement.
It
was
a
political,
anti-imperialist
(反帝国主义)
movement
launched
by
students
and
joined
by
people
from
all
walks
of
life.
The
movement
gets
its
name
from
a
protest
(抗议)
held
in
Beijing
on
May
4,
1919.
The
protest
followed
the
announcement
of
the
Treaty
of
Versailles
(《凡尔赛公约》)
that
concluded
WWI.
According
to
the
treaty,
Germany’s
colonial
rights
(殖民权)
in
China
were
not
cancelled,
but
were
turned
over
to
the
Japanese.
The
movement
called
upon
people
to
fight
for
independence
and
pushed
for
more
diverse
thinking.
Young
men
and
women
called
for
women’s
rights
and
criticized
(批评)
the
tradition
of
arranged
marriages.
Writers
explored
new
forms
of
literature.
Other
people
looked
at
political
and
social
thought,
like
Marxism
(马克思主义),
to
find
a
path
for
China’s
future.
The
May
Fourth
Movement
is
very
important
in
China’s
history.
“It
was
a
great
social
revolutionary
(革命性的)
movement
launched
by
the
Chinese
people
to
save
the
nation
from
subjugation
(镇压),
safeguard
national
dignity
(尊严)
and
pool
(汇聚)
national
strength
together,”
said
President
Xi
Jinping,
also
general
secretary
of
the
Communist
Party
of
China
Central
Committee.
The
spirit
of
the
movement
is
still
a
central
value
for
Chinese
youth
today.
Xi
underlined
the
need
to
strengthen
studies
of
the
May
Fourth
Movement
and
its
spirit
during
a
speech
at
the
group
study
session
of
the
Political
Bureau
of
the
CPC
Central
Committee
on
April
19,
according
to
Xinhua.
Xi’s
call
for
greater
study
of
the
movement
will
help
younger
generations
better
understand
the
value
of
its
spirit.
Xi’s

will
guide
younger
generations
in
using
history
as
a
mirror
and
combining
their
personal
ideals
(理想)
with
the
dream
of
national
rejuvenation
(复兴),

（四）
Thousands
of
years
ago,
people
didn’t
know
that
the
Earth
moved.
They
thought
the
sun
really
did
move
across
the
sky.
The
Greek
god
Helios
was
said
to
drive
the
sun
across
the
sky
with
his
chariot
(战车).
But
now,
the
way
people
think
has
changed.
Nowadays,
it
is
the
sun
that
drives
a
“chariot”
around
the
sky.
What
do
I
mean
by
this?
Well,
quite
simply,
there
is
now
a
plane
(or
“chariot”)
that
is
powered
by
the
sun.
It
has
special
parts
on
its
wings.
These
parts
absorb
(吸收)
power
from
the
sun.
They
absorb
so
much
power
that
the
plane
can
still
fly
even
at
night.
In
Greek
mythology
(神话),
Helios
had
to
take
a
break
at
night.
It
seems
we’re
finally
even
more
powerful
than
the
gods
themselves.
This
plane
is
called
Solar
Impulse.
It
will
fly
across
the
US
in
May.
This
is
very
important
for
the
future
of
the
world.
Why
is
solar
energy
(太阳能)
important?
Well,
other
kinds
of
energy
are
known
to
cause
problems.
If
you
live
in
China,
you’ve
probably
noticed
the
pollution.
This
is
caused
by
burning
coal
and
gas
to
make
energy.
The
heat
and
chemicals
created
by
burning
these
things
give
us
power.
But
if
we
use
power
from
the
sun,
we
don’t
have
to
burn
anything
and
there
will
not
be
any
pollution.
Solar
energy
is
not
entirely
ready
yet.
It
needs
to
be
improved.
But
the
best
thing
about
it
is
that,
unlike
coal
and
gas,
it
doesn’t
run
out.
The
Solar
Impulse
plane
could
pretty
much
keep
flying
forever.
Of
course,
the
sun’s
light
will
eventually
run
out
too
one
day,
but
not
for
another
5
billion
years.
That’s
a
pretty
long
flight.
本文主要讲述了Solar
Impulse号太阳能飞机利用太阳能的原理，以及太阳能的应用及其优点。作者同时告诉我们，太阳能也会有用尽的那一天。
1.
The
plane
Solar
Impulse
______.
A.
cannot
fly
at
night
B.
is
powered
by
chemicals
C.
is
driven
by
solar
energy
D.
was
made
in
the
US
【答案】C
【解析】
细节理解题。根据第二段第2句...there
is
now
a
plane
(or
“chariot”)
that
is
powered
by
the
sun

tells
us
that

A.
using
solar
energy
causes
less
pollution
B.
solar
energy
is
the
best
kind
of
energy
C.
creating
energy
by
burning
things
causes
pollution

burning
things
will
not
be
allowed
in
China

But
if
we
use
power
from
the
sun,
we
don’t
have
to
burn
anything
and
there
will
not
be
any
pollution
可知，靠燃料获得能源会造成污染，利用太阳能则不会有这种问题，B项
solar
energy
is
the
best
kind
of
energy与题意相符。注意，本题问的是第四段的大意，C
项内容虽然意思与段落内容一致，但不是本段的主旨大意。
3.

5.Do
you
think
solar
energy
will
take
the
place
of
all
kinds
of
other
energy
in
the
long
future
?
Why
or
why
not?
A.
Yes,
we
do.
Because
coal
or
oil
or
gas
ect.
will
be
run
out
of
soon
B.
No,
we
don’t.
Because
coal
or
oil

not
be
run
out
of
soon

No，we
think
solar
energy
can’t
take
the
place
of
all
kinds
of
energy
and
it’s
not
necessary.
D.
Yes,
we
do.
But
It
will
be
realized
in
the
very
very
long
future.
【答案】C
【解析】此题是个开放题，但C选项更有说服力，煤，石油，天然气会用尽，但还有地热能、风能、潮汐能等新能源，与太阳能并存。
（五）Do
you
practice
yoga?
In
India,
yoga
is
very
popular.
Not
only
young
persons
but
also
the
old
like
practicing
it
in
their
spare
time.
Now
yoga
has
become
one
of
the
most
popular
healthy
ways
around
the
world.
In
order
to
keep
fit
and
lose
weight,
many
girls
spend
more
than
1,000
yuan
taking
in
yoga
classes
every
month
However,
there
are
several
things
you
should
know
before
you
really
take
it.
First,
don’t
force
your
body
too
much.
Yoga
has
many
difficult
poses（姿势）.They
are
beautiful.
But
if
you
force
yourself
to
do
as
exactly
as
the
yoga
teacher
does,
you
may
hurt
your
body.
You
should
practice
it
step
by
step.
Second,
you
should
take
part
in
better
yoga
classes
and
you
should
find
good
yoga
teachers.
Some
yoga
teachers
have
learned
little.
An
unqualified
teacher
might
wrongly
teach
you
in
his
classes.
It’s
not
worth
paying
much
money
for
these
yoga
classes.
Third,
it
would
be
better
to
learn
something
about
nutrition（营养）when
you
practice
yoga.
In
India,
it
can
be
regarded
as
a
kind
of
lifestyle.
When
you
have
decided
to
care
for
your
body,
why
not
feed
it
properly?
So,
make
sure
you
are
ready
before
you
act.
The
fashion
may
change
quickly.
But
What
benefits
is
still
good
for
us.
1.

to
the
first
paragraph,
some
girls

feel
very
happy
B.
feel
hungry
C.
hurt
your
body
D.
get
fat

【解析】细节理解题。由第三段第四句“But
if
you
force
yourself
to
do
as
exactly
as
the
yoga
teacher
does,
you
may
hurt
your
body.”可知，正确答案为C

does
the
underlined
word
“unqualified”
mean
in
Chinese?
A.
不合格的
B.
笨拙的
C.
不成熟的
D.

following
is
NOT
true?

danger
It
has
been
nearly
two
months
since
the
first
case
of
novel
coronavirus
(新型冠状病毒)
was
found
in
Wuhan.
As
most
people
stay
at
home
and
many
industries
delay
(推迟)
their
work,
some
people
worry
that
this
might
affect
China’s
economy
(经济).
As
China
Daily
reported,
the
epidemic
(疫情)
has
directly
harmed
some
of
China’s
main
industries.
For
example,
the
tourism
industry
has
been
affected,
as
some
foreign
countries
have
set
restrictions
(限制)
on
people
traveling
from
China
and
many
airlines
have
canceled
flights
to
and
from
China.
Also,
since
many
Chinese
factories,
such
as
those
that
make
car
parts,
have
delayed
their
work,
companies
that
rely
on
their
products
have
been
affected
as
well.
“Despite
the
temporary
(临时的)
influence
on
the
Chinese
economy,
the
outbreak
won’t
affect
the
economy’s
mid-
to
long-term
fundamentals
(基础),”
said
Tang
Jianwei,
chief
researcher
at
the
Financial
Research
Center
of
the
Bank
of
Communications.
China
is
making
efforts
to
step
up

（二）
Once
upon
a
time,
there
was
a
family
with
18
children
living
in
a
village.
Two
of
the
children,
both
boys,
loved
painting
very
much,
but
the
family
was
so
poor
that
it
was
impossible
to
send
both
of
them
to
study
at
art
school
at
the
same
time.
After
many
discussions,
the
two
boys
finally
worked
out
a
plan.
They
would
toss
(抛)
a
coin.
The
loser
would
go
down
into
the
mines
(煤矿)
and,
with
his
money,
pay
for
his
brother’s
college
tuition
(学费).
Then,
when
the
brother
who
won
the
toss
finished
his
studies,
he
would
pay
for
the
other
brother
to
study
at
the
college.
One
of
the
brothers,
Albrecht
Durer,
won
the
toss
and
his
brother
Jack
went
down
into
the
mines.
Durer
worked
with
all
his
heart
and
his
paintings
were
much
better
than
those
of
most
of
his
teachers.
He
was
beginning
to
make
a
lot
of
money
for
his
paintings.
Durer
returned.
When
he
told
Jack
he
could
go
to
art
college,
Jack
said
softly:
“The
four
years
in
the
mines
have
done
too
much
to
my
hands.
It
is
too
late.
Now
I
can’t
even
hold
a
glass.”
To
show
his
great
love
and
respect
for
his
brother,
Durer
drew
his
brother’s
hands
with
palms
(手掌)
together
and
thin
fingers
towards
the
sky.
He
called
his
drawing
The
Praying
Hands,
which
became
very
famous
years
later.
The
next
time
you
see
a
copy
of
that
touching
work,
take
a
second
look.
Let
it
be
your
reminder:
No
one
can
ever
succeed
alone!

winner

（三）Do
rich
people
have
it
better
than
us?
Aiden
Padilla,
a
17-year-old
US
student,
says
that
getting
into
a
top
US
university
is
a
sign
that
he’ll
be
successful
someday.
Many
people
in
the
US
who
want
to
climb
into
America’s
middle
and
upper
classes
share
the
same
belief.
However,
a
recent
college
admissions
scandal
(丑闻)
has
made
many
people
question
this
thinking,
ABC
News
reported.
In
March,
it
was
announced
that
a
man
named
William
Singer
had
accepted
over
$25
million
(169
million
yuan)
to
make
fake
test
scores,
reported
CNN.
He
also
used
some
of
this
money
to
bribe
(贿赂)
college
officials.
These
fake
scores
and
bribes
helped
some
students
get
into
famous
schools
like
Stanford
University
and
Yale
University.
The
parents
who
paid
for
this
“service”
include
CEOs,
former
professional
athletes
and
even
some
famous
actresses.
The
scandal
has
rocked
the
nation
and
led
to
discussion
about
the
unfair
advantages
that
rich
people
have
in
society.
For
many
Americans,
the
scandal
shows
that
the
country’s
upper
class
is
stealing
opportunities
from
the
rest
of
the
people.
US
Senator
(参议员)
Elizabeth
Warren
said
that
it
is
an
example
of
how
rich
and
powerful
people
only
care
about
themselves
and
do
not
care
about
the
challenges
that
poor
people
face.
Even
without
bribery,
the
wealthy
still
have
an
advantage
during
the
college
admissions
process.
“If
the
parents
of
an
applicant
(申请人)
have
made
donations
to
the
college,
they
will
receive
preferential
treatment
(优待),”
said
Richard
Reeves,
a
senior
fellow
at
the
Brookings
Institution,
a
US
research
group.
To
deal
with
this
problem,
people
are
trying
to
introduce
new
laws.
US
Senator
Ron
Wyden
is
supporting
a
tax
(税)
for
people
who
make
big
donations
to
universities
if
their
child
is
attending
or
applying
to
college.
This
will
make
them
less
likely
to
try
to
influence
their
child’s
treatment
by
donating
to
their
child’s
university.
Meanwhile,
people
should
realize
that
the
students
themselves
hold
the
key
to
success.
“Admission
to
an
elite
college
(名校)
is
not
...
a
magical
conduit
(通道)
to
success,”
pointed
out
Forbes.
“For
that,
they
need
to
teach
their
kids
hard
work
and
ambition
(雄心).”
Chinese
family
involved
in
scandal
In
May,
a
Los
Angeles
Times
report
said
a
Chinese
family
was
found
to
be
involved
in
the
William
Singer
case.
According
to
the
report,
the
family
paid
$6.5
million
to
Singer
to
have
their
daughter
admitted
to
Stanford
University.
The
daughter
was
described
as
a
competitive
sailor,
although
she
had
never
competed
in
the
sport.
Zhao
Yusi
was
admitted
to
Stanford
in
2017.
Her
father,
Zhao
Tao,
is
the
president
and
co-founder
of
Shandong
Buchang
Pharmaceuticals,
and
reportedly
holds
a
Singaporean
passport.
Zhao
Yusi
was
majoring
in
psychology
and
East
Asian
studies
before
being
expelled
(开除)
by
Stanford
in
April,
Daily
Mail
reported.

How
much
do
you
know
about
Earth
–
the
planet
that
we
live
on?
Our
knowledge
of
Earth
has
been
developing
since
ancient
times.
However,
many
puzzles（困惑）
about
Earth
remain
unsolved.
LiveScience
has
published
a
list
of
the
eight
biggest
mysteries
about
Earth.
Let’s
look
at
some
of
them.
Where
did
water
come
from?
When
it
first
came
into
being
4.5
billion
years
ago,
Earth
was
a
dry
rock.
So
where
did
all
of
our
water
come
from?
Scientists
think
that
it
might
have
arrived
in
the
form
of
ice
by
an
asteroid
(小行星)
from
outer
space
that
hit
our
planet.
But
this
theory
has
not
been
confirmed
(证实)
because
there
is
very
little
related
evidence
to
be
studied.
What’s
in
the
core
(核心)?
Scientists
used
to
study
meteorites
(陨石)
as
small
examples
of
Earth,
believing
that
Earth’s
core
was
made
of
iron
and
nickel
(镍).
However,
a
later
study
in
the
1950s
proved
this
approach
to
be
wrong
because
it
found
that
Earth
would
be
too
light
to
provide
gravity
(重力)
if
its
core
contained
only
iron
and
nickel.
Today,
scientists
continue
to
bring
forward
different
theories,
but
none
have
been
confirmed.
How
was
the
moon
born?
Scientists
have
found
that
the
chemical
compositions
of
Earth
and
the
moon
are
very
similar.
That
suggests
that
the
moon
actually
came
from
Earth.
For
example,
it
could
be
a
piece
of
Earth
that
separated
when
Earth
hit
another
planet.
It
is
also
possible
that
when
Earth
first
came
into
being,
it
spun
(旋转)
very
fast
and
threw
off
enough
molten
(熔化的)
rock
to
later
form
the
moon.
1.
What’s
the
main
idea
of
the
story?
A.
How
Earth
came
into
being.
B.
Where
Earth’s
water
came
from.
C.
How
the
moon
was
formed.
D.
Unexplained
mysteries
about
Earth.
2.
What
do
we
know
about
where
water
may
come
from?
A.
Earth’s
water
may
come
from
ice
that
melted
4.5
billion
years
ago.
B.
Earth’s
water
may
come
from
a
small
planet
that
hit
Earth.
C.
We
don’t
know
where
water
came
from.
D.
There
is
lots
of
evidence
that
tells
us
where
water
came
from.
3.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“bring
forward”
in
Paragraph
3
probably
mean?
A.
Check.
B.
Raise.
C.
Improve.
D.
Receive.
4.
Which
is
TRUE
according
to
the
story?
A.
Scientists
used
to
believe
Earth’s
core
was
made
of
meteorites.
B.
A
study
in
the
1950s
proved
that
Earth’s
core
is
made
of
iron
and
nickel.
C.
The
moon
and
Earth
are
made
of
similar
materials.
D.
Three
possibilities
of
where
the
moon
came
from
are
mentioned.

（一）Economy
not
in
danger
It
has
been
nearly
two
months
since
the
first
case
of
novel
coronavirus
(新型冠状病毒)
was
found
in
Wuhan.
As
most
people
stay
at
home
and
many
industries
delay
(推迟)
their
work,
some
people
worry
that
this
might
affect
China’s
economy
(经济).
As
China
Daily
reported,
the
epidemic
(疫情)
has
directly
harmed
some
of
China’s
main
industries.
For
example,
the
tourism
industry
has
been
affected,
as
some
foreign
countries
have
set
restrictions
(限制)
on
people
traveling
from
China
and
many
airlines
have
canceled
flights
to
and
from
China.
Also,
since
many
Chinese
factories,
such
as
those
that
make
car
parts,
have
delayed
their
work,
companies
that
rely
on
their
products
have
been
affected
as
well.
“Despite
the
temporary
(临时的)
influence
on
the
Chinese
economy,
the
outbreak
won’t
affect
the
economy’s
mid-
to
long-term
fundamentals
(基础),”
said
Tang
Jianwei,
chief
researcher
at
the
Financial
Research
Center
of
the
Bank
of
Communications.
China
is
making
efforts
to
step
up
production
and
resume
(恢复)
work.
As
of
Feb
10,
94.6
percent
of
food-producing
and
processing
(加工)
companies
in
China
had
resumed
work,
according
to
Cong
Liang,
secretary-general
of
the
National
Development
and
Reform
Commission.
Moreover,
the
digital
(数字的)
economy
is
becoming
more
active.
As
people
are
unable
to
go
outdoors,
they
are
turning
to
digital
entertainment
by
watching
films
and
TV
shows
online.
Some
office
workers
are
working
at
home
by
using
teleconferencing
software
(电话会议软件).

（二）
Once
upon
a
time,
there
was
a
family
with
18
children
living
in
a
village.
Two
of
the
children,
both
boys,
loved
painting
very
much,
but
the
family
was
so
poor
that
it
was
impossible
to
send
both
of
them
to
study
at
art
school
at
the
same
time.
After
many
discussions,
the
two
boys
finally
worked
out
a
plan.
They
would
toss
(抛)
a
coin.
The
loser
would
go
down
into
the
mines
(煤矿)
and,
with
his
money,
pay
for
his
brother’s
college
tuition
(学费).
Then,
when
the
brother
who
won
the
toss
finished
his
studies,
he
would
pay
for
the
other
brother
to
study
at
the
college.
One
of
the
brothers,
Albrecht
Durer,
won
the
toss
and
his
brother
Jack
went
down
into
the
mines.
Durer
worked
with
all
his
heart
and
his
paintings
were
much
better
than
those
of
most
of
his
teachers.
He
was
beginning
to
make
a
lot
of
money
for
his
paintings.
Durer
returned.
When
he
told
Jack
he
could
go
to
art
college,
Jack
said
softly:
“The
four
years
in
the
mines
have
done
too
much
to
my
hands.
It
is
too
late.
Now
I
can’t
even
hold
a
glass.”
To
show
his
great
love
and
respect
for
his
brother,
Durer
drew
his
brother’s
hands
with
palms
(手掌)
together
and
thin
fingers
towards
the
sky.
He
called
his
drawing
The
Praying
Hands,
which
became
very
famous
years
later.
The
next
time
you
see
a
copy
of
that
touching
work,
take
a
second
look.
Let
it
be
your
reminder:
No
one
can
ever
succeed
alone!

（三）Do
rich
people
have
it
better
than
us?
Aiden
Padilla,
a
17-year-old
US
student,
says
that
getting
into
a
top
US
university
is
a
sign
that
he’ll
be
successful
someday.
Many
people
in
the
US
who
want
to
climb
into
America’s
middle
and
upper
classes
share
the
same
belief.
However,
a
recent
college
admissions
scandal
(丑闻)
has
made
many
people
question
this
thinking,
ABC
News
reported.
In
March,
it
was
announced
that
a
man
named
William
Singer
had
accepted
over
$25
million
(169
million
yuan)
to
make
fake
test
scores,
reported
CNN.
He
also
used
some
of
this
money
to
bribe
(贿赂)
college
officials.
These
fake
scores
and
bribes
helped
some
students
get
into
famous
schools
like
Stanford
University
and
Yale
University.
The
parents
who
paid
for
this
“service”
include
CEOs,
former
professional
athletes
and
even
some
famous
actresses.
The
scandal
has
rocked
the
nation
and
led
to
discussion
about
the
unfair
advantages
that
rich
people
have
in
society.
For
many
Americans,
the
scandal
shows
that
the
country’s
upper
class
is
stealing
opportunities
from
the
rest
of
the
people.
US
Senator
(参议员)
Elizabeth
Warren
said
that
it
is
an
example
of
how
rich
and
powerful
people
only
care
about
themselves
and
do
not
care
about
the
challenges
that
poor
people
face.
Even
without
bribery,
the
wealthy
still
have
an
advantage
during
the
college
admissions
process.
“If
the
parents
of
an
applicant
(申请人)
have
made
donations
to
the
college,
they
will
receive
preferential
treatment
(优待),”
said
Richard
Reeves,
a
senior
fellow
at
the
Brookings
Institution,
a
US
research
group.
To
deal
with
this
problem,
people
are
trying
to
introduce
new
laws.
US
Senator
Ron
Wyden
is
supporting
a
tax
(税)
for
people
who
make
big
donations
to
universities
if
their
child
is
attending
or
applying
to
college.
This
will
make
them
less
likely
to
try
to
influence
their
child’s
treatment
by
donating
to
their
child’s
university.
Meanwhile,
people
should
realize
that
the
students
themselves
hold
the
key
to
success.
“Admission
to
an
elite
college
(名校)
is
not
...
a
magical
conduit
(通道)
to
success,”
pointed
out
Forbes.
“For
that,
they
need
to
teach
their
kids
hard
work
and
ambition
(雄心).”
Chinese
family
involved
in
scandal
In
May,
a
Los
Angeles
Times
report
said
a
Chinese
family
was
found
to
be
involved
in
the
William
Singer
case.
According
to
the
report,
the
family
paid
$6.5
million
to
Singer
to
have
their
daughter
admitted
to
Stanford
University.
The
daughter
was
described
as
a
competitive
sailor,
although
she
had
never
competed
in
the
sport.
Zhao
Yusi
was
admitted
to
Stanford
in
2017.
Her
father,
Zhao
Tao,
is
the
president
and
co-founder
of
Shandong
Buchang
Pharmaceuticals,
and
reportedly
holds
a
Singaporean
passport.
Zhao
Yusi
was
majoring
in
psychology
and
East
Asian
studies
before
being
expelled
(开除)
by
Stanford
in
April,
Daily
Mail
reported.

How
much
do
you
know
about
Earth
–
the
planet
that
we
live
on?
Our
knowledge
of
Earth
has
been
developing
since
ancient
times.
However,
many
puzzles（困惑）
about
Earth
remain
unsolved.
LiveScience
has
published
a
list
of
the
eight
biggest
mysteries
about
Earth.
Let’s
look
at
some
of
them.
Where
did
water
come
from?
When
it
first
came
into
being
4.5
billion
years
ago,
Earth
was
a
dry
rock.
So
where
did
all
of
our
water
come
from?
Scientists
think
that
it
might
have
arrived
in
the
form
of
ice
by
an
asteroid
(小行星)
from
outer
space
that
hit
our
planet.
But
this
theory
has
not
been
confirmed
(证实)
because
there
is
very
little
related
evidence
to
be
studied.
What’s
in
the
core
(核心)?
Scientists
used
to
study
meteorites
(陨石)
as
small
examples
of
Earth,
believing
that
Earth’s
core
was
made
of
iron
and
nickel
(镍).
However,
a
later
study
in
the
1950s
proved
this
approach
to
be
wrong
because
it
found
that
Earth
would
be
too
light
to
provide
gravity
(重力)
if
its
core
contained
only
iron
and
nickel.
Today,
scientists
continue
to
bring
forward
different
theories,
but
none
have
been
confirmed.
How
was
the
moon
born?
Scientists
have
found
that
the
chemical
compositions
of
Earth
and
the
moon
are
very
similar.
That
suggests
that
the
moon
actually
came
from
Earth.
For
example,
it
could
be
a
piece
of
Earth
that
separated
when
Earth
hit
another
planet.
It
is
also
possible
that
when
Earth
first
came
into
being,
it
spun
(旋转)
very
fast
and
threw
off
enough
molten
(熔化的)
rock
to
later
form
the
moon.
本文主要讲述了LiveScience发布的地球的八大谜团中的三个未解之谜：“水是哪里来的”、“地球的核心由什么构成”和“月球是怎么形成的”，以及科学家对这三个谜团的解释。
1.

【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。第一段第3句和第4句，提出了本文的主题“关于地球的未解之谜”，因此D项符合题意。
2.
What
do
we
know
about
where
water
may
come
from?
A.
Earth’s
water
may
come
from
ice
that
melted
4.5
billion
years
ago.
B.
Earth’s
water
may
come
from
a
small
planet
that
hit
Earth.
C.
We
don’t
know
where
water
came
from.
D.
There
is
lots
of
evidence
that
tells
us
where
water
came
from.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段
Scientists
think
that
it
might
have
arrived
in
the
form
of
ice
by
an
asteroid
from
outer
space
that
hit
our
planet
这句话可知，科学家们认为，水可能是外层太空小行星与地球相撞以冰的形态陨落到地球的。
3.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“bring
forward”
in
Paragraph
3
probably
mean?
A.
Check.
B.
Raise.
C.
Improve.
D.
Receive.
【答案】B
【解析】猜测词义题。bring
forward
所在句意思是
“科学家们继续
bring
forward
不同的理论，但是都没有得到证实”，由此可推断
bring
forward
意思是“提出”；raise可以表示“提出（问题、课题、理论等）”，故选
B。
4.

Earth
are
made
of
similar
materials.

in
Los
Angeles,
US,
is
taking
1
of
three
green
abalones
(鲍鱼)
at
