A
Preparing to go traveling abroad can be really stressful (有压力的), especially if you don’t know what to expect. Here is a list of important things to remember, so you know exactly what you need to do before you take off.
What vaccines (疫苗) do I need?
Go to your doctor for advice as soon as you know you’re going traveling. They will know what vaccines you will need and will be able to advise you on when you need to have them. Remember, some vaccines need to be given months ahead, so make sure you book an appointment as early as possible.
Do I need a visa?
It’s important that you have the correct official documents for traveling abroad. If you don’t have the necessary paperwork, you might be refused entry. You’ll need to check that your passport hasn’t been out of date either.
How do I arrange travel insurance (保险) ?
Travel insurance is really important. It can protect you in different kinds of situations, such as if you need medical treatment or if your flights are canceled. Travel insurance can be arranged easily online or over the phone, but you can always turn to your local travel agency. Travel agents will also be able to advise you on what you are insured against.
26. Who will most probably be interested in this text?
A. Those who work in insurance companies. B. Those who need medical treatment.
C. Those who plan to travel abroad. D. Those who want to take vaccines.
27. What can’t we know from the passage?
A. It can be really stressful to prepare to go traveling abroad.
B. You might be refused entry if you don’t have necessary paperwork.
C. It’s not difficult to arrange travel insurance online or over the phone.

B
Foxes have become a part of life in Britain’s urban areas. They are striking creatures but they are also dangerous. Three years ago, twin baby girls Isabella and Lola Koupparis were left with arm and face injuries after they were attacked by a fox while they were sleeping at their home. Last week, four?week-old baby boy Denny Dolan was bitten by a fox which entered his home. After gaining access to the home through the front door，the fox pulled the baby down from the sofa and tried to drag him outside，biting him and almost severing (割断) his finger.
Although fox attacks on humans are still very rare, they will become more common if we don’t change our behavior towards these increasingly fearless animals. It is humans rather than foxes that are responsible for rising fox attacks on humans.
On the one hand, people who love foxes treat these wild animals like pets, leaving food out for foxes, feeding them from their hands, and even inviting foxes into their home. The result is that the fox is more brazen (厚颜无耻的) and less inclined to avoid us. It is those people who feed foxes that cause foxes to lose their fear of humans. However, as long as they have a healthy fear of humans, they won’t bother humans.
On the other hand, foxes have moved into cities for lack of resources in rural areas. We take away their natural habitat to build more houses and factories. Foxes have no choice but to live and search for food in the city. If they live in the forest，no fox attack will happen.
We have to learn to share the earth with animals and let foxes return to their natural habitat. We also have to learn to look upon foxes as wild animals. We have to remember that they are instinctive killers, efficient and silent with only one purpose, kill to eat. We must certainly not intervene them, even when they look starved. They are hungry for a reason. The hunger will force them to hunt for rabbits and other animals instead of waiting for food at your door.
29. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. it is common for people to spot foxes in British cities
B. it is very difficult for people to raise foxes as pets
C. it is common for foxes to attack a child in Britain’s urban areas
D. it is very dangerous for foxes to live in Britain’s urban areas
30. Why do more and more foxes flood into cities?
A. Because urban people love the cute animal.
B. Because foxes lack natural resources in the forest.
C. Because no houses are built for them in the forest.
D. Because their habitats are occupied by other animals.
31. We can learn from the passage that the author _____.
A. is very cruel to foxes B. is a wild animal lover
C. is concerned about foxes D. is against feeding foxes
32. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It is humans rather than foxes that are to blame for the rising fox attacks on humans.
B. People in cities must certainly not feed foxes, even when they look starved.
C. Human beings have to learn to live in harmony with wild animals in cities.
D. Foxes in British cities are striking creatures but they are also dangerous animals.
C
When we buy something new, we get rid of what’s old. That cycle of consumption (消费) has made electronics waste the world’s fastest-growing solid-waste stream, which is expected to grow as the world upgrades to 5G. However, less than a quarter of U.S. electronics waste is recycled, the rest ending up as rubbish, posing environmental risks.
Part of the problem concerns rule. In states without laws banning (禁止) electronics from the regular trash, electronics often end up in garbage. Even when e-waste rules exist, it’s left to consumers to handle their old devices properly. But recycling them can be a pain. People have to take their electronics to a store, which may pay them for it or charge them to get rid of it. Many consumers simply throw their devices into the trash or throw them in a drawer.
One solution is to make electronics last as long as they once did. Yet, technology companies are speeding the pace of being deserted. “It’s a strategy by producers to force us into shorter upgrade cycles,” said Kyle Wiens, the founder of iFixit, which publishes do-it-yourself repair guides.
Some environmental groups say big companies like Apple and Samsung should pick up the cost of recycling the devices they sell. Lawmakers have passed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, which require producers to establish and fund systems to recycle or collect deserted products.
Some companies are increasing their recycling efforts on their own. For example, Apple in 2018 introduced Daisy, a smartphone-recycling robot that can take apart 200 iPhones every hour. But that's a drop in the bucket compared with the 50 million tons of e-waste produced globally last year.
33. Which of the following statements is true?
A. A large number of electronics end up as waste.
B. E-waste problems will be solved if laws are made.
C. Most people prefer to sell their old electronics to stores.
D. E-waste is the biggest threat to environment.
34. According to Kyle Wiens, technology companies________.
A. are trying to collect their deserted products B. have a short life cycle because of the market
C. intend to shorten the life cycle of products D. struggle to provide goods with good quality
35. What might be the writer’s attitude towards the future of the e-waste recycling?
A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Confident. D. Doubtful.
36. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Choice for Recycled Electronics B. Solutions to the Mountain of E-waste
C. Bad Effects of E-waste on the Environment D. Companies on Duty for Nature Protection
D
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that, “There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.” Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity (连体) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation (灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
37. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies _____.
A. adaptation is an ever-changing process B. the cost of adaptation varies with time
C. global warming affects adaptation forms D. adaptation to climate change is challenging
38. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project?
A. The project receives government support. B. Different organizations work with each other.
C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation. D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.
39. What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?
A. Storing ice for future use. B. Protecting the glaciers from melting.
C. Changing the irrigation time. D. Postponing the melting of the glaciers.
40. What’s the author’s preferred solution to global warming?
A. Setting up a new standard. B. Reducing carbon emission.
C. Adapting to climate change. D. Monitoring polluting industries.

Signs of Healthy Friendships
Once in a while it’s helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be. You might get used to a friendship over time to the point where you don’t see the room for improvement. And since great friendships are priceless, you should always surround yourself with the kind of people who will lift your spirits, make you laugh, and remind (提醒) you that you are loved. __41__ Here are characteristics (特征) that strong friendships share.
__42__
Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself, so you don’t need to act like someone you’re not. Your friends know your shortcomings and love you anyway. You are perhaps the “best version” of yourself when you’re with your friends. A healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle honesty. True friends won’t pretend just to avoid an argument (争论). __43__ As a result, you’ll know where you stand with your friends and won’t be afraid to share your true opinions.
They argue in a healthy way.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about good friends is that they never fight. But let’s face it: everyone fights. __44__ In fact, voicing your opinions freely will cause you to disagree from time to time and that’s okay.
Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else, too.
__45__ That’s why great friends will improve your relationship yet still encourage you to meet people and try new things without them. A healthy friendship means that sometimes the two of you spend time apart, and that’s okay.
A. Arguing isn’t unhealthy.
B. Is your friendship as healthy as it can be?
C. Good friends dine out together from time to time.
D. Good friends are real and honest with each other.
E. With an unhealthy friendship, you know clearly that something is “off”.
F. Even if you have the best friend, it doesn’t hurt to expand your social circle.
G. In a positive friendship, your friends won’t lie to you, and they won’t hurt your feelings either.
第三部分 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
People send gifts to each other quite frequently. But have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your __46__ that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by __47__? Still __48__, have you ever given a present to a friend and she looked as though she had opened the faulty box? Maybe she would __49__ with a polite “Why, thank you”, but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal __50__?
Choosing the right gift is an __51__, I believe. It calls for empathy — the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart. We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kind of __52__ empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, and friends. When it isn’t, we’re not able to sense other people’s feelings __53__. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities.
Think back to the presents you’ve __54__ over the past years, the time and __55__ you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the __56__ opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose __57__ your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself __58__ with different friends, relatives and other people you know.
We live in a society where __59__ presents is an important part of communication. __60__ the tradition won’t make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.

Dear Tony,
I’m sorry to hear that you feel it difficult to adapt yourself to your new school life in America. As your best friend, I’d like to give you some suggestions.
First of all, learning English well is a must. Only when you speak English fluently can you find more opportunities to communicate with others. Secondly, you should learn to study independently. But don’t be afraid of asking the teacher for help when you meet some problems. What’s more, try to make more friends and take part in some school activities actively, which will help you forget your loneliness and make your life more interesting as well. Of course, sometimes reading some interesting books can also give you great fun.
What do you think of my opinion? Believe in yourself and you will enjoy your new school life there soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
