My
great-grandfather,
my
grandfather
and
my
father
are
farmers,
and
so
are
all
my
family.
My
father
had
a
fixed
idea
that
I
would
become
a
farmer
too.
Although
I
respect
him
and
am
indeed
skilled
at
doing
some
farm
work,
I
don’t
agree
that
I
should
automatically
follow
in
my
father’s
footsteps.
When
I
was
a
teenager,
my
father
happened
to
take
me
to
an
airport
which
belonged
to
one
of
his
friends.
It
was
the
first
time
that
I
had
seen
an
aeroplane
in
real
life.
Knowing
that
I
had
never
been
on
board,
my
father’s
friend
Tom
offered
me
an
opportunity
to
fly
with
him
in
his
small
aeroplane.
I
quickly
accepted
his
offer!
When
we
took
off,
I
felt
nervous
but
thrilled.
Being
up
in
the
clouds
and
looking
at
the
view
below
was
unlike
anything
I
had
ever
felt.
I
was
just
enjoying
it.
I
assumed
being
a
pilot
would
be
the
most
awesome
thing
in
the
whole
world.
From
that
day
on
a
thought
crept
into
my
mind
that
I
wanted
to
become
a
pilot,
but
I
doubted
whether
my
father
would
support
me.
After
all,
it
was
a
totally
different
path
from
what
he
had
planned
for
me.
Therefore,
I
put
the
thought
to
the
back
of
my
mind,
because
I
knew
he
would
still
insist
on
holding
onto
his
previous
idea.
Anyway,
besides
helping
my
father
on
the
farm,
I
would
frequently
visit
Tom’s
airport.
Gradually,
I
got
familiar
with
every
button
and
switch
on
the
aircraft
and
I
learned
a
lot
about
planes,
such
as
how
to
fill
the
plane
with
fuel,
how
to
check
the
engines
and
so
on.
But
what
I
had
learned
just
left
me
wanting
more,
so
I
decided
to
go
to
college
to
become
a
professional
pilot.

Paragraph
1:
This
time
I
would
not
hide
my
desire
any
more.
Determined
to
follow
my
heart,
I
explained
to
my
father
how
I
felt.
I
told
him
that
I
wanted
to
go
to
college
to
learn
to
fly
instead
of
being
a
farmer.
After
saying
this
,I
waited
nervously
for
his
reaction.
To
my
surprise,
he
approved
my
request,
and
he
told
me
that
he
was
moved
by
my
perseverance.
Paragraph
2:
At
the
graduation
ceremony,
with
my
father
present,
I,
as
“Best
Pilot”,
had
to
deliver
a
speech.
In
my
speech,
I
shared
with
the
audience
my
story
about
how
a
teenager
realized
his
dream.
Faced
with
difficulties,
I
took
a
path
that
led
me
to
something
that
needed
passion
,
training
and
practice.
I
also
owed
my
success
to
my
father’s
support.
Without
his
understanding,
I
couldn’t
have
pursued
my
dream.
At
the
end
of
the
speech,
I
spotted
my
father’s
watery
eyes,
and
said,
“Dad,
I
made
it
!
”
His
face
lit
up
with
pride.

Peter
had
been
saving
money
for
a
very
long
time.
He
was
struggling
so
much
that
all
he
wished
was
to
go
abroad
and
make
more
money.
So
when
he
reached
the
required
amount
he
needed
for
the
expenses,
he
travelled
to
a
foreign
country
to
make
a
good
living.
Upon
getting
there,
Peter
worked
very
hard
and
finally
built
his
own
business.
After
years
of
hard
work,
he
became
a
millionaire.
He
called
his
family
and
informed
them
that
they
would
not
have
to
worry
about
money
any
more
for
he
would
be
sending
them
enough
and
everyone
would
be
happy.
He
couldn’t
have
been
proven
more
wrong!
Five
years
later,
as
the
business
grew,
Peter
had
no
time
to
stay
at
home
and
was
always
busy
running
his
business
and
attending
meetings.
He
missed
his
family.
He
hadn’t
seen
them
in
four
years.
Every
year
he
promised
himself
that
he
would
go
and
visit
them
but
that
promise
was
broken
at
every
attempt
to
accomplish
it
for
one
business
reason
oranother.
But
his
family
were
understanding
and
never
complained.
Peter
had
thought
that
money
would
make
his
life
good
but
now
that
he
had
more
money
than
he
ever
imagined,
he
was
not
happy.
He
was
tired
of
trying
to
pretend
that
he
was
happy
with
his
projects
and
work.
Sometimes
he
wanted
to
leave
the
country
and
the
business
and
go
back
to
his
old
life,
but
the
thought
of
not
being
able
to
survive
if
he
left
his
business
stopped
him.
When
he
met
his
family
a
few
years
later,
it
was
only
for
a
few
days.
His
family
wanted
him
to
stay
longer
but
he
didn’t.
At
the
same
time,
he
was
given
the
most
difficult
and
challenging
task
during
his
career
whose
completion
would
not
only
improve
his
image
but
also
result
in
him
earning
millions
of
dollars.
This
work
kept
him
quite
engaged
(投入)
that
he
gave
his
mind
wholly
to
the
task.
His
hard
work
resulted
in
great
profit
and
he
was
more
successful
than
ever
before.

To

he

big
party.
He
finally
knew
that
money
couldn’t
give
him
happiness
but
the
support

loved
ones

【答案】
One
possible
version:
To
celebrate
his
success,
he
threw
a
big
party.
Lots
of
people
came
to
congratulate
him.
Watching
his
colleagues
and
their
families
celebrating
his
success,
he
felt
so
alone.
Then
someone
asked
him
about
his
family,
which
left
him
missing
his
family
more.
After
the
party,
he
booked
the
next
flight
available
to
his
beloved
homeland
and
flew
home
the
next
day.
Back
home
in
his
old
house,
he
enjoyed
the
quality
time
with
his
family
so
much,
chatting,
playing
games
and
even
going
fishing
with
them.
He
felt
so
much
happier
than
when
he
was
abroad
making
big
money.
He
finally
knew
that
money
couldn't
give
him
happiness
but
the
support
of
his
loved
ones
would.
He
stopped
devoting
all
his
time
to
his
business
for
he
knew
he
had
wasted
so
many
years
running
after
something
that
was
not
worth
leaving
his
family
behind.
He
decided
to
move
back
to
his
hometown
so
that
he
could
spend
more
time
showering
his
family
with
love
and
giving
them
the
attention
they
deserved.

“Do
you
forget
to
bring
your
homework
to
school?”
my
sixth-grade
math
teacher
asked.
I
nodded
my
head
and
said
in
a
low
voice,
“Yes,
sir.”
What
a
mistake
I
had
made!
I
had
completed
my
math
homework.
But
when
I
headed
for
school,
I
forgot
to
put
it
into
my
schoolbag.
Now
my
homework
is
still
lying
on
the
desk
at
home.
“You
will
have
a
get
a
zero
then,”
math
teacher
said.
I
was
shocked.
I
had
never
received
a
zero
in
a
math
class
before.
But
the
school
had
rules,
and
the
teacher
had
to
let
everyone
follow
them.
I
was
immediately
worried
about
my
final
math
average,
which
was
based
on
my
homework
and
the
tests.
Would
I
get
a
C
or
even
a
D
at
the
end
of
the
term?
If
so,
what
should
I
do?
My
next
class
was
a
gym
class.
As
I
walked
down
the
hall
with
my
classmates,
all
those
feelings
rushed
out
in
hot
tears.
I
wiped
them
away
as
quickly
as
I
could.
But
when
we
entered
the
gym
and
sat
down
in
our
spots
on
the
floor,
it
was
clear
to
everyone
around
me
that
I
had
been
crying.
My
gym
teacher,
Ms.
Brown,
was
an
athletic
teacher,
often
with
a
smile
on
her
face.
Her
class
was
a
good
mix
of
calisthenics(健美体操)
and
games
that
give
us
all
a
good
workout.
And
Ms.
Brown
was
nice
and
compassionate(有同情心的).
She
loved
her
students
and
often
came
to
help
if
the
students
were
in
trouble.
During
that
gym
class,
my
mind
was
affected
by
the
math
homework
and
I
was
worried
about
my
final
math
average.
So
I
failed
to
devote
my
attention
to
Ms.
Brown’s
direction.
And
clearly,
I
was
sad.
I
guessed
that
Ms.
Brown
found
there
was
something
wrong
with
me.
When
it
was
near
the
end
of
the
gym
class,
she
walked
to
me.
Paragraph
1:
She
sat
down
to
comfort
me.
Paragraph
2:
I
felt
relaxed
and
decided
to
work
harder
at
math.
【答案】
Paragraph
1:
She
sat
down
to
comfort
me.“Are
you
okay?”
she
asked.
I
told
her
about
my
trouble.
Then
Ms.
Brown
said
to
me,
“We
all
make
mistakes."
She
told
me
what
happened
to
her
several
days
ago.
!
was
surprised
that
she
also
made
mistakes
since
!
had
thought
she
was
perfect.
She
told
me
the
world
didn’t
end
because
I
got
a
zero
in
a
math
class
and
encouraged
me
to
study
hard.
Paragraph
2:
I
felt
relaxed
and
decided
to
work
harder
at
math.
In
math
classes,
I
paid
more
attention
to
the
teacher's
lectures.After
reaching
home
after
school,
I
would
do
the
math
homework
more
carefully.
And
I
left
notes
to
remind
me
not
to
forget
to
bring
my
homework
to
school
again.
At
the
end
of
that
term,
based
on
my
good
daily
performances
and
test
scores,
my
final
math
average
was
an
A.
This
experience
taught
me
a
lesson:
as
long
as
we
learn
from
mistakes,
we’re
making
progress.

My
dad
always
told
me
that
when
I
was
two
years
old,
I
told
everyone
I
met
that
I
was
going
to
be
the
next
Michael
Jordan.
One
day
when
I
was
six,
he
looked
me
straight
in
the
eye,
asking,
“Are
you
willing
to
do
any
amount
of
work
to
become
Michael
Jordan?”
I
hesitated
for
a
moment,
feeling
the
weight
of
his
words,
but
then
smiled
brightly
and
nodded.
“All
right.
”
He
produced
a
sheet
of
paper
and
handed
it
to
me,
warning,
“This
will
be
one
serious
commitment.
”
He
gave
me
a
pen
and
gestured
for
me
to
sign
my
signature
at
the
bottom
of
the
page.
The
next
morning
I
had
completely
forgotten
about
the
paper
until,
at
the
crack
of
dawn,
my
father
shook
me
awake.
“Get
up.
”
he
ordered.
“Basketball
practice
starts
today.
”
I
complained,
unwillingly
getting
out
of
my
warm
bed
and
following
my
dad.
We
headed
out
to
the
driveway
and
he
showed
me
an
orange
basketball.
He
threw
it
to
me,
and
I
clumsily
grasped
it
with
both
bands.
That
morning,
I
practiced
for
three
hours,
the
most
tired
I
had
been
in
those
years.
Already,
I
was
beginning
to
regret
my
decision
to
be
the
female
version
of
Michael
Jordan.
The
next
morning
my
dad
dragged
me
out
in
the
driveway
at
the
crack
of
dawn,
once
again.
It
was
the
same
the
next
day,
and
the
next
day.
I
screamed
that
I
would
never
touch
a
basketball
again,
but
he
took
out
my
signed
contract
（合同）
and
waved
it
in
my
face,
explaining
that
I
couldn’t
take
back
my
words
now.
Years
passed
and
I
began
to
accept
basketball
practice
as
just
a
fact
of
life.
One
day,
at
the
age
of
15,
I
finally
reached
my
goal
—
my
10,
000
hours.
That
morning
we
practiced
our
usual
three
hours,
and
for
once,
I
felt
like
I
may
have
learned
everything
there
was
to
know
about
basketball.
At
the
end
of
our
session
（训练时期）,
my
dad
hugged
and
congratulated
me
before
handing
me
that
orange
basketball
and
saying.
“It’s
yours
now.”

【答案】Paragraph
1:
That
evening
we
had
a
party,
with
a
huge
basketball-shaped
cake.
On
top
of
the
cake
were
five
candles
that
read
"10,
000".
I
had
never
been
so
proud.
My
dad
made
a
speech,
and
many
of
my
friends
came
to
congratulate
me.
It
was
when
the
cake's
candles
were
lit
that
my
dad
handed
me
the
paper
I
had
signed
on
that
fateful
day
at
the
age
of
six.
I
felt
tears
welling
up
as
I
read
the
words
on

engraved

Those
powerful
words
that
had
tied
me
for
nearly
10
years
seemed
pointless
now.
The
crowd
of
family

friends
gave
a
great
cheer
to
me.
"So,
are
you
going
to
quit
now?"
a
friend
asked.
I
looked
around,
staring
at
the
pictures
of
Michael
Jordan,
and
of
me
doing
basketball
practice
over
the
years.
Then,
without
hesitation,
I
smiled
and
shook
my
head.
"
Never,
"
I
responded.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A
couple，whom
we
shall
call
John
and
Mary,
had
a
nice
home
and
two
lovely
children
.
One
day,
John
and
Mary
decided
to
go
on
a
trip
to
another
city,
so
they
found
a
kind
woman
to
look
after
the
children
and
left.
Several
days
later,
they
returned
home
a
little
earlier
than
they
had
panned.
As
they
drove
back
to
their
hometown,
John
and
Mary
noticed
smoke
and
went
to
see
what
it
was.
They
found
a
house
was
on
fire.“Oh，well,
it
isn't
our
house.
Let's
go
home，”Mary
said.
But
John
drove
closer
and
screamed
in
surprise，“That's
Jordan's
home.
He
works
in
a
factory.
He
wouldn’t
be
off
work
yet.
Maybe
there
is
something
we
can
do
to
help.”
“It
has
nothing
to
do
with
us，”cried
Mary.“You
have
your
good
clothes
on，so
let's
not
get
any
closer.”
John
didn't
listen
to
Mary.
He
drove
up
and
stopped.
They
were
both
shocked
to
see
the
whole
house
was
on
fire.
A
woman
was
crying
in
the
yard,“The
children!
Get
the
children!”
John
seized
her
by
the
shoulder
and
shouted
to
her,“Don't
cry!
Tell
me
where
the
children
are!”“In
the
basement(地下室)，”cried
the
woman，“down
the
hall
and
to
the
left.”
John
used
water
to
get
his
clothes
wet
and
put
a
wet
towel
on
his
head
before
rushing
to
the
basement.
The
house
was
full
of
smoke
and
fire,
and
it
was

children.
But
he
made
it.
He

under

arm.
As

left，he
could
hear

kids
out

【答案】
Paragraph
1:
The
woman
told
him
there
were
two
more.
Mary
grasped
his
arm
and
screamed,
"John!
Don't
go
back
in!
It's
dangerous.
The
house
could
fall
down
at
a
second!"
He
didn't
listen
to
her
and
went
back
into
the
burning
house.
He
went
back
to
the
basement
by
feeling
his
way
down
the
smoke
and
into
the
room.
It
seemed
like
a
century
before
he
found
the
two
children.
They
were
all
coughing.
So
he
tried
to
walk
closer
to
the
ground
to
get
the
cleaner
air
there.
Paragraph
2:
As
he
took
them
out,
he
felt
something
strangely
familiar
about
the
little
bodies.
As
he
climbed
up
the
endless
steps,
the
feeling
became
much
stronger.
Considering
the
emergency,
he
set
aside
his
thoughts
.
Fortunately,
they
finally
came
out
into
the
fresh
air
.
To
his
great
surprise,
the
children
he
had
just
rescued
were
his
own
kids
.
Knowing
what
had
happened,
Mary
ran
to
them
in
tears
and
the
whole
family
hugged
together
.
It
turned
out
later
that
the
baby-sitter
had
left
them
at
this
house
while
she
was
shopping
.
Fortunately
,
when
John
saved
others
,
he
also
saved
his
own
children

湖北省鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟学校2020-2021学年高二下学期期中联考英语试题
第一节（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。
What
does
it
take
to
become
famous?
Talent
in
singing,
dancing
or
acting?
Or
simply
good
looks?
These
days,
it
seems
like
a
pretty
41
,
and
a
lot
of
makeup
can
make
anyone
a
popular
star.
However,
occasionally,
an
honest
smile
and
a
hard-working
attitude
might
take
you
quite
42
.
Recently,
an
Tibetan
young
man
named
Tashi
Dingzhen
has
gained
a
lot
of
online
followers.
Though
his
43
to
fame
has
been
very
much
accidental,
Dingzhen
has
since
been
44
by
both
the
local
tourism
department,
and
the
online
streaming
platform
Tencent
Video.
However,
when
asked
about
his
own
dreams,
the
20-year-old
said
that
he
wants
to
be
a
“horse-racing
prince”,
a
decision
which
has
been
45
by
many.
Fame
can
be
fleeting
(稍纵即逝的).
Every
day
there
are
thousands
of
people
on
the
internet
46
the
latest
trends,
behaving
in
very
similar
ways,
and
taking
part
in
the
same
type
of
various
shows...
all
for
the
chance
to
gain
47
and
fortune.
A
few
years
down
the
line,
or
perhaps
even
only
a
few
months
later,
the
majority
of
these
individuals
or
groups
will
48
from
our
memories
in
the
end.
Everyone
is
born
49
.
We
like
different
things,
have
different
personalities,
and
50
different
dreams.
That
is
what
makes
life
so
dynamic
(有活力的)
and
interesting.
Should
Dingzhen
choose
to
take
Tencent
Video's
51
and
try
to
become
a
celebrity,
he
might
just
end
up
52
into
the
background
under
heavy
makeup
and
uniform
dance
moves.
Of
course,
it's
possible
that
his
fame
will
fade
even
faster
if
he
stays
home
and
continues
to
race
horses.
But
at
least
then
he
will
be
able
to
follow
his
53
to
do
what
he
wants
54
choosing
to
pursue
fame
and,
in
the
end,
55
himself.
If
you
were
in
his
shoes,
what
would
you
do?
A.
face
B.
body
C.
hair
D.
figure
A.
happily
B.
far
C.
successfully
D.
directly
A.
reach
B.

It
was
one
afternoon,
only
a
few
weeks
into
the
school
year
at
Edgewood
Primary
School.
Julia
Koch,
a
first
grade
41
,
received
a(n)
42
from
Cynthia
Phillips,
having
technical
difficulties
with
her
granddaughter’s
tools
for
online
learning.
Koch
immediately
43
something
was
wrong
with
Phillips.
The
two
women
had
44
a
lot
before,
but
she
had
never
heard
the
grandmother
sound
quite
like
this.
Her
words
were
so
45
that
Koch
could
barely
understand
her.
Koch
called
her
headmaster,
Daniel
Smith,
who
46
her
that
he
would
call
and
check
on
Phillips
himself.
Just
like
Koch,
Mr.
Smith
could
hardly
understand
Phillips.
He
47
she
might
be
having
a
stroke
(中风)
—
he
recognized
the
48
from
when
his
own
father
had
suffered
one.
Mr.
Smith
was
able
to
49
the
word
“kids”
and
immediately
became
50
that
Phillips’s
two
grandchildren,
aged
six
and
eight,
were
probably
home
alone
with
her,
and
51
.
Mr.
Smith
called
an
ambulance
and
then
rushed
there
with
two
men.
When
they
pulled
up
less
than
ten
minutes
later,
52
were
treating
Phillips,
the
two
children
53
shocked.
Thank
Goodness!
Phillips
survived.
“I’m
proud
of
the
people
I
work
with,
that
they
54
so
quickly
and
that
it
did
make
a
difference
for
Mrs.
Phillips,”
says
Koch.
“I
am
so
pleased
to
be
part
of
such
a(n)
55
community.”

By
the
time
I
finished
my
appointment,
I
was
starving.
I
41
at
McDonald’s
to
order
a
hamburger
to
take
home
and
eat
while
working.
Since
it
was
a
little
before
noon,
there
was
a
42
.
A
woman,
who
I
soon
learned
was
Marcella,
was
43
at
the
register.
She
asked
the
woman
behind
her
in
line
if
she
would
like
a
drink
and
then
asked
me.
We
both
said
no,
and
must
have
looked
44
,
because
she
said,
“I
got
you.”
She
continued
to
pay
for
both
of
our
meals,
even
though
we
were
45
.
I
asked
Marcella
why
she
did
this,
and
she
shared
that
someone
once
did
something
similar
for
her.
The
person
46
that
she
pay
it
forward
someday
and
she
was
making
good
on
her
47
.
Before
I
left,
she
gave
me
a
warn
hug
and
requested
me
to
do
an
act
of
kindness
for
a
stranger
when
I
could.
I
arrived
home,
but
instead
of
working
through
lunch,
I
sat
and
48
on
her
kindness.
Marcella
didn’t
need
to
pay
for
my
lunch.
But
what
she
did
49
my
day.
Not
because
I
got
to
keep
my
$15,
but
because
she
was
kind-with
no
50
of
receiving
anything
in
return.
51
,
Marcella
allowed
me
to
take
her
picture
so
I
could
share
this
52
story.
As
I
promised
her,
I
planned
on
paying
her
kindness
forward.
Maybe
I’ll
make
a
small
53
in
someone
else’s
life,
and
the
positive
effect
will
be
54
.
Because
that’s
what
being
human
is
all
about-----being
kind-----even
to
a
stranger.
Remember
that
kindness
and
love
can
55

McDonald’s.

One
afternoon
I
toured
an
art
museum
while
waiting
for
my
husband
to
finish
a
business
meeting.
I
was
looking
forward
to
a
quiet
view
of
the
masterpieces(杰作).
A
young
couple
41
the
paintings
ahead
of
me
chatted
42
between
themselves.
I
watched
them
for
a
moment
and
decided
the
lady
was
doing
all
the
talking.
I
admired
the
man's
patience
for
43
her
constant
flood
of
words.
Annoyed
by
their
noise,
I
moved
on.
I
met
them
several
times
as
I
moved
through
the
various
rooms
of
art.
44
I
heard
her
constant
flood
of
words,
I
moved
away
quickly.
I
was
standing
at
the
counter
of
the
museum
gift
shop
making
a
45
when
the
couple
approached
the
exit.
Before
they
left,
the
man
46
his
pocket
and
pulled
out
a
white
object.
He
extended(展开)
it
into
a
long
walking
stick
and
then
47
his
way
into
the
coatroom
to
get
his
wife's
jacket.
"He's
a
48man
,"
the
clerk
at
the
counter
said.
"Most
of
us
would
49
if
we
were
blinded
at
such
a
young
age.
During
his
recovery,
he
made
a
promise
that
his
life
wouldn't
50
.
So
,
as
before,
he
and
his
wife
come
in
whenever
there's
a
new
art
show.”
“But
what
does
he
get
out
of
the
art?"
I
asked.
"He
can't
see.”
“Can’t
see
?
You're
51.
He
sees
a
lot
.
More
than
you
or
I
do,"
the
clerk
said.
"His
wife
52
each
painting
so
he
can
see
it

分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的
A、B、C
和
D
四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There
are
many
options
for
free
video
conferencing
apps.
Here's
our
short
list
of
the
best
ones,
where
they
shine
and
where
they
fall
short.
Google
Hangouts
The
free
video
chat
app
from
Google
is
a
great
example
of
a
consumer-grade
app.
It
integrates
with
Gmail
and
Google
Calendar,
making
it
easier
for
users
to
operate.
Up
to10
participants
can
join
the
live
conference
with
a
plug-in
application.
And
as
it
doesn't
support
dual
stream
video
and
content,
some
users
complain
that
the
video
is
not
clear
or
reliable.
Skype
The
app,
developed
by
Microsoft,
gives10
users
access
to
a
conference.
It's
worth
noting
that
Microsoft
is
integrated
with
Skype.
A
plug-in
application
is
required.
Advanced
features
are
fascinating,
but
only
available
for
paid
subscription.
Zoom
The
free
video
conferencing
solution
from
Zoom
provides
a
service
for
group
video
calls
with
over
100
participants.
The
Zoom
Basic
plan
allows
users
to
have
40-minute
calls
with
a
handful
of
features
like
screen
sharing,
local
recording
and
camera
filters.
A
plug-in
application
is
necessary.
All
calls,
which
are
limited
to
40
minutes
or
less,
are
secured.
Lifesize
Lifesize
has
been
in
the
video
conferencing
industry
for
long.
By
setting
up
a
free
account
with
Lifesize,
you
can
quickly
start
a
free
video
call
with
up
to
25
participants.
It
is
web-based
and
doesn't
require
downloads
or
an
application
on
your
devices.
Guests
can
join
the
live
call
right
from
the
website
by
clicking
on
your
personal
meeting
ID
link.
To
use
the
additional
features
like
300-way
calling,
Microsoft
integrations
and
4K
video
conference
room
systems
requires
a
paid
subscription.
Which
aspect
of
Google
Hangouts
is
not
satisfactory?
User
capacity.
B.
Video
quality.
C.
Stream
video.

a
ten-minute
conference
service
with
30
people
for
free?
Zoom.
B.
Skype.
C.
Google
Hangouts.
D.
Lifesize.
What
is
special
about
Lifesize?
It
integrates
with
Microsoft.
B.
It
is
completely
free
of
charge.

No
application
is
needed
for
participants.

Dear
Editors
of
Macquarie
Dictionary,
My
name
is
Wendy,
a
second
generation
Chinese-Australian
migrant
and
a
mother
of
two
young
children.
I’m
writing
to
express
my
disappointment
in
one
of
Macquarie
Dictionary’s
entries,
namely
the
definition
of
the
word
“monolid”.
In
both
the
paper
version(7th
edition)and
online
version
of
the
Dictionary,
Macquarie
defines
“monolid”
as:
“An
upper
eyelid
without
a
fold,
perceived
by
some
in
Asia
to
give
an
appearance
of
laziness.
”
This
definition
has
disturbed
me
and
many
Asians
living
in
Australia.
Linguistically,
the
term
“monolid”
is
a
pretty
unbiased
description
of
a
physical
characteristic
that
involves
no
feelings,
common
to
over
50%
of
people
of
East
Asian
origin.
It’s
no
different
to
other
terms
describing
a
physical
feature
including
“blonde”
or
“freckle”.
Take
a
minute
and
consider
this.
Would
it
be
appropriate
if
the
definition
of
“blonde”
became
“having
fair
or
light-colored
hair,
thought
by
some
in
Western
countries
as
possessing
little
or
no
intelligence”?
Or
would
it
be
appropriate
if
the
definition
of
“freckle”
was
“a
small
brownish
spot
in
the
skin
or
face,
thought
by
some
as
creating
an
ugly
appearance”?
In
addition,
it
is
also
inappropriate
that
Macquarie
Dictionary
—
a
dictionary
of
choice
by
many
Australian
schools
—
defines
a
term
in
a
way
which
may
create
negative
racial
connection
for
Australian
children
of
East
Asian
origin.
Both
my
kids
are
born
with
monolids,
a
constant
reminder
of
their
cultural
background.
It
therefore
breaks
my
heart
to
imagine
a
scene
where
they
turn
to
the
dictionary
to
find
that
their
physical
feature
is
associated
with
“laziness”.
What
if
they
get
teased
by
their
school
friends
that
they
are
born
“lazy”?
What
if
my
sensitive
older
son
starts
hating
himself
and
his
race
classification
for
being
associated
with
something
negative?
For
the
reasons
above,
I
urge
Macquarie
Dictionary
to
adjust
the
current
definition
of
“monolid”.
Looking
forward
to
hearing
from
you.
Regards,
Wendy

The
lights
go
down,
music
plays,
and
a
young
woman
on
a
bike
at
the
front
of
the
class
encourages
students
to
spin
faster
and
harder.
When
the
lights
go
back
on,
the
students
on
the
bikes
pull
out
their
notebooks,
and
it’s
clear
that
this
is
not
SoulCycle.
Instead,
it’s
a
first-of-its-kind
business
school
course
at
Fordham
University
that
is
taught
on
spin
bikes
in
a
university.
“It’s
the
first
class
that
I
mention
to
anybody
when
anybody
asks
me
what
classes
I’m
taking,”
said
Amanda
Vopat,
22,
a
business
administration
major.
“I
think
people
are
really
excited
about
it.”
The
75-minute,
twice-weekly
course
is
the
brainchild
of
Julita
Haber,
a
business
school
professor
at
Fordham.
“I
have
been
introducing
movement
and
fitness
in
my
classes
for
the
past
seven
years,”
she
said.
“I
found
the
spin
class
would
really
allow
students
to
exercise
while
a
professor
lectures
at
the
same
time.”
The
course
the
students
are
taking
while
cycling
is
no
joke.
Managing
Professional
Relationships
is
an
upper-level
business
school
course
taken
primarily
by
juniors
and
seniors.
The
students
are
fully
instrumental
in
each
class,
selecting
the
music,
leading
stretches
before
and
after
class
and
leading
the
intervals
during
the
class.
Haber
stops
her
lecture
every
20
minutes
throughout
the
class.
While
one
student
turns
off
the
lights,
another
student
turns
up
the
music
and
a
third
student
goes
to
a
bike
in
the
front
of
the
class
to
lead
their
classmates
in
high-intensity
interval
that
lasts
two
to
three
minutes,
just
enough
to
re-energize
the
students.
“It’s
a
fantastic
way
of
engaging
students
and
as
a
professor,
as
a
teacher,
that’s
really
gratifying,”
she
said.
“They
don’t
have
their
smartphones,
and
they
don’t
have
laptops
so
they
are
physically
engaged
and
also
mentally
engaged
in
what
is
being
said.”
The
course
is
the
first
of
its
kind
at
Fordham,
and
Haber
believes
it
is
also
a
first
across
the
United
States.
She
has
authored
research
on
the
unique
classroom
approach,
which
she
calls
fitness
integrated(综合的)
learning.
Donna
Rapaccioli,
the
head
of
Fordham’s
Gabelli
School
of
Business,
described
how
students
were
“energized”
by
the
class
and
said
Fordham
was
open
to
expanding
it
to
other
courses.
“Definitely,”
Rapaccioli
answered
when
asked
if
Haber’s
course
represents
the
future
of
learning.
What
might
SoulCycle
be?
A
health
club.
B.
A
repair
shop.
C.
A
bicycle
store.
D.
A
music
studio.
What
do
we
know
about
the
business
school
course?
It
lasts
seventy-five
minutes
without
breaks.
It
was
originally
thought
up
by
Julita.
It
was
taught
in
a
university
gym
once
every
2
weeks.
It
is
open
to
all
students
at
Fordham
University.
Which
of
the
following
is
correct
according
the
passage?
Haber
has
introduced
the
spin
class
seven
years
before.
Students
pull
out
their
notebooks
while
riding
the
spin
bikes.
Haber
is
satisfied
with
her
course.
The
course
has
become
popular
in
the
US.
How
did
Donna
Rapaccioli
sound?
Humorous
and
clever.
B.
Hopeful
and
cheerful.
C.
Serious
and
friendly.
D.
Proud
and
confident.

Imagine
how
you’d
feel
if
you
had
to
get
more
than
9,000
tons
of
junk
out
to
the
sidewalk.
That’s
how
much
trash
is
floating
around
in
space.
In
fact,
there’s
about
4
million
pounds
flying
over
our
heads
in
low-Earth
orbit.
Daan,
a
Dutch
artist,
and
his
team
at
Space
Waste
Lab
have
come
up
with
a
creative
plan
that
could
clear
up
space
junk
in
a
spectacular
fashion.
①Most
space
waste
comes
from
dead
satellites
and
rockets.
Functioning
satellites
are
the
backbone
of
the
information
systems
that
keep
our
world
running
smoothly.
But
all
the
satellites
eventually
become
obsolete
within
just
a
few
decades.
When
they
die
out,
there’s
the
problem
of
them
drifting
in
outer
space,
collecting
in
what
scientists
call
the
“graveyard
orbit.”
Maybe
you’re
thinking,
“Why
should
I
care
about
garbage
12,500
miles
above
me?”
Well,
all
that
fun
stuff
that
satellites
help
beam
down
to
us—mobile
games,
Instagram,
cat
videos—could
be
shut
down
by
space
waste.
Lots
of
old
junk
floating
around
up
there,
plus
new
satellites
added
each
year,
means
more
and
more
high-speed
collisions.
And
when
chunks
of
junk
crash
into
one
another,
they
break
apart
into
millions
of
pieces,
quickly
building
up
speed
and
turning
into
fast-moving
objects,
which
are
dangerous
to
operational
satellites
as
well
as
astronauts
working
on
the
International
Space
Station.
②Space
waste
is
a
problem
that’s
escalated
so
much;
some
scientists
say
that
by
2050
we’ll
be
forced
to
stop
launching
new
spacecraft
altogether,
including
new
satellites.
Think
about
that
for
a
minute.
When
the
last
satellites
finally
become
disused,
GPS,
cell
phones,
and
the
Internet
will
no
longer
function.
③So
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
deal
with
this
space
garbage,
and
Daan
pictures
a
sort
of
trash
pickup,
which
involves
groups
of
small
spacecraft
casting
large
nets
into
orbit
that
would
collect
space
debris
(碎片)
and
send
it
back
toward
Earth
at
top
speed.
Here’s
the
best
part—while
reentering
Earth’s
atmosphere,
the
pieces
of
junk
would
burn
up
all
at
once,
creating
a
light
show
similar
to
hundreds
of
shooting
stars
falling
in
the
night
sky.
A
spectacle
indeed!
To
get
ready
for
such
an
amazing
effort,
Space
Waste
Lab
has
been
traveling
to
major
cities
across
Europe
and
enlightening
the
public
on
the
problem
of
the
junk
in
space.
④But
Daan
doesn’t
just
talk
about
ways
to
relieve
the
problem—he’s
created
something
a
little
grander
than
that.
In
October
2018,
his
team
launched
Space
Waste
Lab
Performance,
an
outdoor
art
exhibition
that
shows
the
location
of
each
piece
of
space
trash
using
large
lasers
that
make
each
debris
look
a
bit
like
a
star
wandering
slowly
and
silently
over
the
sky,
allowing
viewers
to
wave
and
say,
“Hallo,
space
trash!”
Where
can
you
probably
read
this
passage?
in
a
science
magazine
B.
in
a
geography
textbook
C.
in
a
fashion
magazine
D.
in
a
space
travel
guidebook
According
to
the
passage,
which
sentence
best
replaces
the
question
mark
in
the
diagram?
There
is
more
junk
floating
in
space
each
year
as
new
satellites
are
added.
Satellites
can
help
people
track
the
weather
and
find
new
locations.
Working
satellites
can
be
damaged
and
astronauts
can
be
hurt.
The
Space
Waste
Lab
Performance
can
show
people
where
satellites
are
located.

I
created
Buddy
Project
when
I
was
a
15-year-old
girl.
At
the
time,
my
best
friend
had
been
diagnosed
with
a
mental
health
condition,
and
that
was
the
first
time
I
was
made
aware
of
what
mental
illness
was.
I
wanted
to
learn
more
and
create
a
good
support
system
for
her.
Back
then,
I
was
also
on
Twitter
because
I
had
trouble
making
friends
in
school.
I
found
a
lot
of
people
I
related
to
online,
and
I
found
a
community
of
friends
based
on
my
interests.
I
combined
those
two
experiences
and
wanted
to
make
a
way
for
people
to
find
a
safe
and
loving
community
online.
I
wanted
people
to
have
a
peer
(同龄人)
support
system
available
to
them
and
to
feel
accepted.
When
I
started
Buddy
Project,
I
was
in
the
ninth
grade
and
only
had
free
time
after
school.
I
intended
it
to
be
something
I
did
part-time.
I
didn’t
really
think
that
many
people
would
be
interested
in
it.
On
the
first
day,
however,
3,000
people
signed
up.
I
realized
then
that
that
was
not
something
I
was
just
going
to
do
as
scheduled.
Mental
illness
affects
tens
of
millions
of
people
in
the
United
States
each
year,
yet
only
half
receive
treatment,
according
to
the
National
Institute
of
Mental
Health.
Mental
health
care
is
not
always
accessible
or
affordable,
and
that
needs
to
be
talked
about.
Even
if
the
stigma
(羞耻)
surrounding
mental
illness
decreased,
the
cost
of
treatment
would
still
be
a
problem.
Without
help,
there
are
some
people
who
won’t
be
able
to
receive
the
proper
care.
Buddy
Project
started
out
by
just
raising
awareness
of
mental
health
on
social
media.
Then
we
became
a
non-profit,
and
since
2015
we’ve
been
trying
to
fundraise
to
help
pay
for
others’
mental
health
treatments
too.
We’ve
mainly
focused
on
raising
money
for
people
in
our
hometown
of
southeastern
Pennsylvania,
but
we
want
to
expand
and
offer
help
throughout
the
United
States.

helped
her
best
friend
with
mental
illness.
What
went
beyond
the
author’s
expectations?
That
her
studies
were
badly
influenced.
That
so
many
people
participated
in
her
project.
That
she
could
carry
out
the
project
part-time.
That
she
had
enough
free
time
for

project.
What’s
the
purpose
of
Paragraph
3?
To
explain
the
influence
of
mental
health
care.
To
show
her
positive
attitude
toward
mental
illness.
To
show
the
necessity
of
helping
those
with
mental
illness.
To
encourage
lower
costs
of
treatment
for
mental
illness.
What
does
Buddy
Project
plan
to
do
in
the
future?
Offer
different
types
of
mental
health
care.
Find
more
ways
to
prevent
mental
illness
happening.
Raise
awareness

health
on

C
Think
of
Japan
in
the
spring,
and
the
image
that
comes
to
mind
is
likely
the
country’s
famous
cherry
blossoms,
which
experience
a
“peak
bloom
(开花)”
that
only
lasts
a
few
days
and
have
been
honored
in
Japan
for
more
than
a
thousand
years.
But
this
year,
the
cherry
blossom
season
has
come
and
gone
in
the
blink
of
an
eye,
in
one
of
the
earliest
blossoms
on
record
--
and
scientists
warn
it’s
a
symptom
of
the
larger
climate
crisis
threatening
ecosystems
everywhere.
Yasuyuki
Aono,
a
researcher
at
Osaka
Prefecture
University,
has
gathered
records
from
Kyoto
back
to
812
AD
from
historical
documents
and
diaries.
In
the
central
city
of
Kyoto,
cherry
blossoms
peaked
on
March
26,
the
earliest
in
more
than
1,200
years,
Aono
said.
And
in
the
capital
Tokyo,
cherry
blossoms
reached
full
bloom
on
March
22,
the
second-earliest
date
on
record.
The
peak
bloom
dates
shift
every
year,
depending
on
numerous
factors
including
weather
and
rainfall,
but
have
shown
a
general
trend
of
moving
earlier
and
earlier.
“Cherry
blooms
are
very
temperature
sensitive,”
said
Aono.
“Flowering
and
full
bloom
could
be
earlier
or
later
depending
on
the
temperature
alone,”
he
said.
This
year’s
seasons
in
particular
influenced
the
blossom
dates,
he
added.
The
winter
was
very
cold,
but
the
spring
came
fast
and
unusually
warm,
so
“the
buds
are
completely
awake
after
enough
rest.”
Their
early
bloom,
however,
is
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
of
a
worldwide
phenomenon
that
could
make
natural
systems
and
countries’
economies
unstable,
said
Amos
Tai,
assistant
professor
of
earth
science
at
the
Chinese
University
of
Hong
Kong.
There
are
two
sources
of
increased
heat,
which
is
the
main
factor
making
the
flowers
bloom
earlier:
urbanization（城市化）and
climate
change.
With
increased
urbanization,
cities
tend
to
get
warmer
than
the
surrounding
rural
area,
in
what
is
called
the
heat
island
effect.
But
a
bigger
reason
is
climate
change,
which
has
caused
rising
temperatures
across
the
region
and
the
world.
These
earlier
dates
aren’t
just
a
matter
of
tourists
scrambling
to
catch
peak
bloom
before
the
petals
all
fall
--
it
could
have
a
lasting
impact
on
entire
ecosystems,
and
threaten
the
survival
of
many
species.
What
is
the
purpose
of
mentioning
the
dates
and
figures
in
paragraph
2?
To
present
“peak
bloom”
in
Tokyo
came
earlier
than
in
Kyoto.
To
suggest
when
cherry
blossoms
will
bloom
next
year.
To
report
the
dates
of
“peak
bloom”
in
different
Japanese
cities.
To
show
cherry
blossoms
came
out
earlier
this
year
than
in
the
past.
Why
are
scientists
worried
about
the
peak
bloom
moving
earlier
and
earlier?
A.The
blossom
season
this
year
is
a
sign
of
a
larger
global
crisis.
The
weather
will
be
too
cold
for
the
blossoms
to
last
long
enough.
The
earlier
peak
bloom
will
threaten
the
survival
of
many
species.
The
earlier
bloom
could
affect
natural
systems
and
countries’
economy.
What
does
the
underlined
word
in
the
last
paragraph
mean?
Deciding.
B.
Managing.
C.
Rushing.
D.
Marching.

D
A
new
Dutch
car
company,
Lightyear,
announced
its
new
car,
Lightyear
One
concept
earlier
this
week,
which
can
constantly
refill
its
power
using
the
sun
and
travel
a
range
of
up
to
800
km
when
fully
powered.
That’s
just
the
start:
The
company
claims
that
in
sunny
environments
(say,
Hawaii),
the
One
could
potentially
drive
for
months
at
a
time
between
charges.
The
Lightyear
team
claims
the
car
can
fuel
up
with
more
than
just
sunshine.
It
is
equipped
to
charge
from
a
socket
(
插座),
even
a
regular
household
power
socket.
Lightyear
claims
that
just
charging
its
car
from
a
standard
(3.7
kw)
socket
for
an
hour
would
give
you
40
km
worth
of
power.
The
solar
power
collected
by
the
car’s
panels
could
be
used
to
power
more
than
just
the
One
itself,
allowing
owners
to
connect
the
energy
to
their
homes,
devices,
and
even
other
electric
cars.
This
is
indeed
a
new
idea.
It’s
not
exactly
clear
how
the
company
plans
to
produce
its
breakthrough
cars.
The
company’s
website
includes
some
unclear
language
about
a
“completely
newly-designed
car”
which
will
require
a
“revolutionary
production
process”.
It
mentions
that
industry
partners
have
signed
up
to
support
the
process,
but
doesn’t
offer
any
specific
names.
Lightyear’s
founders
aren’t
new
to
the
solar
car,
which
makes
the
One
slightly
more
believable
than
other
new
concepts
with
little
real-world
data
to
support
them.
The
company
was
started
by
five
former
members
of
Solar
Team
Eindhoven,
the
group
that
created
the
four-seat,
solar-powered
car
Stella
which
hit
the
US
streets
back
in
2014.
You
can
order
the
One
in
advance
now
in
the
EU
and
US,
but,
unsurprisingly,
it
won’t
come
cheap.
Reserving
a
One
will
allow
you
to
get
a
discount
if
you
pay
by
the
month
and
the
final
cost
is
expected
to
be
?119,000.
The
company
won’t
produce
the
One
on
a
large
scale
(
规模).
Therefore,
it
won’t
cause
industry
giants
like
Tesla
to
lose
any
sleep
just
yet,
and
Lightyear
still
has
to
prove
it
can
change
its
experimental
technology
into
a
fully
realized
consumer
experience.
If
the
company
succeeds,
however,
we
could
be
looking
at
a
new
future
of
cars,
directly
powered
by
the
sun.
Which
affects
the
One’s
longest
range
most?
Road
conditions.
B.
Weather
conditions.
C.
The
weight
it
bears.
D.
The
way
it
is
charged.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“This”
in
Paragraph
3
refer
to?
The
electric
car.
B.
The
solar-powered
car.
C.
The
electricity-powered
device.
D.
The
mobile
power-sharing
system.
Why
is
the
Stella
solar-powered
car
mentioned?
To
explain
the
principle
of
the
One.
To
prove
the
advantages
of
the
One.
To
compare
different
eco-friendly
cars.
To
show
the
background
of
the
One’s
creators.
Which
best
describes
the
author’s
attitude
to
the
One
in
the
text?
Hopeful.
B.
Worried.
C.
Doubtful.
D.
Surprised.

B
I
left
university
with
a
good
degree
in
English
Literature,
but
no
sense
of
what
I
wanted
to
do.
Over
the
next
six
years,
I
was
treading
water,
just
trying
to
earn
an
income.
I
tried
journalism,
but
I
didn’t
think
I
was
any
good,
then
finance,
which
I
hated.
Finally,
I
got
a
job
as
a
rights
assistant
at
a
famous
publisher.
I
loved
working
with
books,
although
the
job
that
I
did
was
dull.
I
had
enough
savings
to
take
a
year
off
work,
and
I
decided
to
try
to
satisfy
a
deep-down
wish
to
write
a
novel.
Attending
a
Novel
Writing
MA
course
gave
me
the
structure
I
needed
to
write
my
first
55,000
words.
It
takes
confidence
to
make
a
new-start
there’s
a
dark
period
in-between
where
you’re
neither
one
thing
nor
the
other.
You’re
out
for
dinner
and
people
ask
what
you
do,
and
you’re
too
ashamed
to
say,
“Well,
I’m
writing
a
novel,
but
I’m
not
quite
sure
if
I’m
going
to
get
there.”
My
confidence
dived.
Believing
my
novel
could
not
be
published,
I
put
it
aside.
Then
I
met
an
agent（代理商）who
said
I
should
send
my
novel
out
to
agents.
So,I
did
and,
to
my
surprise,
got
some
wonderful
feedback.
I
felt
a
little
hope
that
I
might
actually
become
a
published
writer
and,
after
signing
with
an
agent,
I
finished
the
second
half
of
the
novel.
The
next
problem
was
finding
a
publisher.
After
two-and-a-half
years
of
no
income,
just
waiting
and
wondering,
a
publisher
offered
me
a
book
deal
—
that
publisher
turned
out
to
be
the
one
I
once
worked
for.
It
feels
like
an
unbelievable
stroke
of
luck
—
of
fate,
really.
When
you
set
out
to
do
something
different,
there’s
no
end
in
sight,
so
to
find
myself
in
a
position
where
I
now
have
my
own
name
on
a
contract（合同）of
the
publisher
—
to
be
a
published
writer
—
is
unbelievably
rewarding（有回报的）.
24.
What
can
be
inferred
from
the
first
paragraph？
A.
I
was
seeking
to
find
an
admirable
job.
B.
I
was
waiting
for
good
fortune
.
C.
I
was
being
aimless
about
an
appropriate
job.
D.
I
was
doing
several
jobs
for
more
at
a
time.
25.

did
the
author
begin
to
write
a
novel?

author
wanted

course.

lead
to
success.
C.
The
early
bird
catches
the
worm.
D.
It
pays
to
stick
to
one's
dream.
C
The
transatlantic
car
carrier,
Oceanbird,
is
being
designed
by
Wallenius
Marine,
a
Swedish
shipbuilder,with
support
from
the
Swedish
government.
With
a
capacity(容量)
of
7,000
vehicles,
the
650
foot-long
vessel
will
have
a
similar
size
to
ordinary
car
carriers,
but
it
will
look
totally
different.
The
ship
will
have
five
“wing
sails”,
with
each
being
260
feet
tall.
These
sails
are
capable
of
turning
360
degrees,
and
it
can
be
shortened
to
195
feet
in
order
to
pass
under
bridges
or
withstand
rough
weather.
Although
the
general
theory
of
wing
sails
is
not
new,
designing
the
Oceanbird’s
sails
has
been
a
challenge,
says
Mikael
Razola,
the
research
project
manager
for
Oceanbird.
“That’s
because
these
are
the
tallest
sails
that
have
ever
been
constructed.
The
top
of
the
sails
will
be
more
than
100
meters
above
the
water
surface.
At
such
a
height,
the
wind
direction
and
speed
change
a
lot,”
says
Razola.
To
better
understand
the
atmospheric
conditions(大气条件)
at
this
height,
Wallenius
put
sensors
on
top
of
its
existing
vessels
to
gather
data
of
wind.
“All
of
this
information
has
helped
us
make
the
most
of
the
power
available
in
the
wind
and
design
an
efficient
wing
vessel,”
says
Razola.
With
its
special
sails,
Oceanbird
will
outperform
conventional
car
carriers
in
the
aspect
of
exhaust
emission.
Nowadays,
the
shipping
industry
is
under
pressure
to
reduce
emissions
of
CO2
and
other
greenhouse
gases.
According
to
the
International
Maritime
Organization,
the
UN
body
that
regulates
global
shipping,
shipping
accounted
for
2.89%
of
global
manmade
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
2018.
And
in
the
same
year,
this
organization
introduced
a
mandatory(
强
制
的
)
50%
reduction
of
total
annual
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2050.
Oceanbird
is
designed
to
exceed(超过)
the
target---Wallenious
said
the
ship
would
emit
90%
less
CO2
than
other
car
carriers.
With
a
stop
speed
of
about
10
knots,
Oceanbird
will
be
slower
than
standard
car
carriers,
which
can
travel
at
17
knots.
It
will
take
around
12
days,
instead
of
the
standard
seven
to
cross
the
Atlantic.
“This
long
journey
will
require
some
scheduling
changes
as
well
as
acceptance
from
carmakers,”
said
Razola.
“But
the
response
so
far
has
been
very
positive.”
Researchers
in
Wallenious
have
built
a
7-meter
model
of
Oceanbird
which
will
sail
in
Stockholm’s
archipelago
to
gather
data
that
will
help
finalize
the
ship’s
design.
“It
will
take
around
three
years
to
launch
the
full-size
version.
Our
ambition
is
to
see
Oceanbird
sailing
in
2024,”
Razola
said.

Plastic
garbage
is
one
of
the
world’s
biggest
environmental
headaches.
Some
plastic
items
like
water
bottles
and
shopping
bags
can
last
for
hundreds
of
years
after
being
thrown
away,
with
all
this
plastic
rubbish
disrupting
ecosystems
and
disturbing
the
habitats
of
wildlife.
There
have
been
several
projects
to
help
control
plastic
production,
but
researchers
may
have
found
a
natural
way
to
get
rid
of
the
products.
Waxworms,
which
are
confusingly
classed
as
caterpillars(毛毛虫),
are
the
honey
bee’s
worst
nightmares,
as
they
lay
their
eggs
inside
their
hives(蜂巢).
Amateur
beekeeper
Federica
Bertocchini
decided
to
use
plastic
bags
to
protect
the
hives,
however
she
was
dumbfounded
when
she
discover
the
insects
were
able
to
eat
holes
into
the
sides
of
the
bags.
The
beekeeper’s
surprising
findings
sparked
a
study.
Bertocchini,
from
the
Spanish
National
Research
Council,
teamed
up
with
scientists
from
Cambridge
University
to
perform
some
tests.
When
the
team
put
about
one
hundred
waxworms
into
a
standard
UK
plastic
shopping
bag,
they
began
feasting.
After
about
12
hours
they’d
eaten
roughly
92
milligrams
of
the
bag.
In
all,
this
isn’t
huge
amount,
but
it’s
a
lot
faster
than
other
natural
ways.
Last
year,
researchers
found
a
specific
type
of
bacteria(
细
菌
)could
eat
plastic,
but
at
a
rate
of
0.13
milligrams
a
day,
making
this
is
a
massive
jump
in
the
search
for
a
natural
way
to
dispose(处理)
plastic.
The
team
is
still
not
100
percent
sure
how
the
worms
do
what
they
do,
but
they’re
heralding
this
as
an
important
first
step
to
get
rid
of
pollution.
Luckily,
while
that
team
works
out
the
answer,
plastic
manufacturers
have
found
a
way
to
make
their
products
much
more
environmentally
friendly.
There
are
three
types
of
environmentally
friendly
plastics:
bioplastics(which
are
made
from
corn
starch),
biodegradable
plastics(which
break
down
quicker)
and
recycled
plastic.
Hopefully
with
these
new
products,
we
will
get
closer
to
a
society
that
is
less
harmful
to
the
environment.
32.
Why
is
plastic
garbage
a
huge
environmental
headache?
A.
Because
some
plastic
bottles
can
stay
on
the
street
for
many
years.
B.
Because
this
kind
of
rubbish
will
do
great
damage
to
the
environment
for
years.
C.
Because
more
and
more
plastic
bags
will
make
the
environment
look
dull
and
ugly.
D.
Because
the
plastic
rubbish
will
make
the
wild
life
get
worse
than
before.
33.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“dumbfounded”
mean
in
the
third
paragraph?
A.
Shocked.
B.
Frightened.
C.
Embarrassed.
D.
Uncomfortable.
34.
How
do
the
waxworms
deal
with
the
plastic?
A.
They
make
the
plastic
into
honey.
B.
They
help
scientist
develop
new
plastic.
C.
They
eat
the
plastic
in
an
environmentally

Smith,
Williams,
Brown
are
common
surnames
that
you
will
meet
in
Britain.
However,
you
may
come
across
some
strange
English
surnames.
The
following
surnames
are
rare,
but
they
are
real.
Gotobed
You
are
not
going
to
meet
many
people
with
the
surname
“Go-to-bed”.
The
first
recorded
person
to
have
this
surname
was
John
Gotobedde
of
Cambridge
in
1269.
Professor
Reaney,
an
authority
on
English
surnames,
explains
the
surname
originated
from
people
who
had
a
bed,
which
was
rare
back
in
the
12th
century.
People
were
proud
that
they
could
afford
to
have
a
bed,
thus
adding
it
to
their
name.
Strange
but
true!
Onions
This
surname,
which
was
first
popular
in
France
and
Ireland
before
coming
over
to
the
UK,
dates
back
to
l279
and
identified
（显示）
a
person’s
job.
He
was
either
a
seller
or
a
grower
of
the
vegetable.
Nutter
Nutter
means
a
crazy
or
silly
person
in
spoken
English.
You
wouldn’t
usually
call
yourself
a
nutter,
but
it’s
genuinely
a
surname
that
originates
from
Yorkshire
and
Lancashire.
It’s
a
variation
of
the
old
English
surnames
“Notere
”,
which
means
a
clerk,
and
“Nothard”,
which
means
a
person
that
keeps
oxen.
Hardmeat
might
have
guessed
that
“Hardmeat”
must
have
something
to
do
with
a
family
of
butchers.
In
fact,
it
might
just
have
been
a
misspelling
of
the
village
that
the
name
came
from,
which
was
“Hardmead”
in
England.
Wish
they
had
a
spellchecker
back
then!

of
the
following
surnames
can

The
2020
Nobel
Prize
in
literature
has
been
awarded
to
former
U.
S.
Poet
Laureate
（桂冠诗人）
Louise
Gluck.
The
prize
committee
stressed
“her
unmistakable
poetic
voice
that
with
plain
beauty
makes
individual
existence
universal”.
Gluck
is
the
first
American
woman
to
win
the
award
since
Toni
Morrison
in
1993.
Gluck,
77,
joins
a
list
of
literary
giants
and
previous
Nobel
Prize
winners,
including,
in
this
century,
Canadian
short-story
master
Alice
Munro,
Chinese
magical-realist
Mo
Yan,
etc.
Gluck’s
work
includes
12
collections
of
poetry
and
a
couple
of
volumes
of
essays
on
literary
writing.
“
All
are
characterized
by
striving
for（力求）
clearness.
Childhood
and
family
life,
the
close
relationship
with
families
is
a
theme
that
has
remained
central
to
her,
”
Anders
Olsson,
the
chairman
of
the
Nobel
Committee
for
Literature,
said.
“
She
seeks
the
universal,
and
in
this
she
takes
inspiration
from
myths（神话）and
classical
themes,
”
Olsson
added,
citing
her
2006
collection
Averno,
which
the
committee
described
as
“
masterly
”
for
its
“
visionary
interpretation
of
the
myth
of
Persephone’s
fall
into
hell
in
the
captivity
（囚禁）
of
Hades,
the
god
of
death
”
Gluck
is
a
professor
at
Yale
and
a
resident
of
Cambridge,
and
she
also
served
as
U.
S.
Poet
Laureate
from
2003
to
2004
and
is
no
stranger
to
awards.
She
won
the
Pulitzer
Prize
in
1993
for
her
collection
of
poems
titled
The
Wild
Iris,
in
which
“she
describes
the
miraculous
return
of
life
after
winter”,
the
Nobel
Literature
Committee
said
on
Thursday.
She
also
won
the
2014
National
Book
Award
for
poetry
for
Faithful
and
Virtuous
Night
.
In
2016,
President
Obama
awarded
the
National
Humanities
Medal
to
Gluck
in
a
White
House
ceremony.
Being
publicly
shy,
Gluck
did
not
immediately
give
any
comment
about
the
latest
honor
for
her
body
of
work,
which
spans
more
than
half
a
century.
In
a
2012
interview,
she
acknowledged
that
prizes
can
make
“
existence
in
the
world
easier
”
but
did
not
mean
the
immortality
（不朽）
of
a
true
artist.

You
may
have
heard
the
expression
“crocodile
tears”
when
it
comes
to
someone
who
is
not
showing
true
emotion
and
is
being
insincere.
While
this
may
extend
to
the
phrase,
some
research
shows
that
crocodile
tears
may
be
more
similar
to
ours
than
previously
thought.
In
the
study
published
in
Frontiers
in
Veterinary
Science,
a
group
of
researchers
collected
tears
from
a
variety
of
animals
including
macaws,
owls,
parrots,
hawks,
sea
turtles,
tortoises
and
caimans.
Additionally,
they
collected
tears
from
10
healthy
humans.
The
tear
samples
were
then
examined
and
were
found
to
be
similar
when
it
came
to
electrolyte
(电解质)
composition
with
one
slight
difference
being
in
that
bird
and
reptile
(爬行动物)
tears
had
a
slightly
higher
concentration
than
other
species.
Additionally,
in
the
tears
of
the
sea
turtles
and
owls,
there
were
higher
levels
of
protein
found.
Where
variation
eventually
did
come
in
was
when
the
researchers
examined
how
tears
became
solid
as
they
dried.
They
found
that
the
tears
from
different
animals
form
totally
different
patterns,
much
like
snowflakes
(雪花)
each
has
individual
and
unique
shape.
They
noticed
that
the
turtles’
and
caimans’
tears
were
especially
different.
They
owed
this
to
their
adaptation
(适应)
in
some
way
in
order
to
be
able
to
better
function
in
their
habitats.
One
note
that
the
researchers
made
was
that
the
tear
samples
they
collected
were
from
captive
(圈养的)
animals,
which
could
be
completely
different
from
animals
found
in
the
wild.
However,
the
study
still
is
one
of
the
biggest
studies
of
its
kind
in
comparing
tear
compositions
across
varying
species.
Lead
author
Arianna
P.
Oria
from
Brazil
said,
“This
discovery
is
vital
for
understanding
the
evolution
and
adaptation
processes,
and
is
essential
for
the
discovery
of
drugs
to
treat
eye
diseases.
This
knowledge
helps
in
the
understanding
of
the
evolution
and
adaption
of
these
species,
as
well
as
in
their
conservation.

eating
too
much
salt
can
lead
to
heart
disease.
But
could
it
also
affect
our
mind?
Scientists
found
that
a
high-salt
diet
could
cause
cognitive
impairments
（认知损
伤）
in
mice,
and
it
could
produce
the
same
effect
on
humans.
Dr
Costantino
Iadecola,
director
of
the
Feil
Family
Brain
and
Mind
Research
Institute,
said
they
fed
the
mice
eight
to
sixteen
times
their
normal
salt
intake
（摄入量）
and
then
tested
the
mice.
After
about
three
months,
the
mice
had
a
big
change
in
their
behaviour.
Mice
are
very
curious,
and
they
like
to
look
for
new
things.
However,
the
tested
mice
lost
the
ability
to
identify
（识别）
a
normal
object.
When
the
mice
were
put
in
their
cage
and
asked
to
find
a
quiet
spot,
they
did
not
remember
where
the
quiet
spot
was.
Then
when
the
mice
were
building
a
nest,
which
is
something
the
mice
do
daily,
they
were
unable
to
do
so.
The
research
suggested
humans
would
experience
a
similar
response.
Studies
have
shown
Australians
eat
around
double
the
recommended
amount
of
salt
each
day,
most
of
it
coming
from
processed
food.
Dr
Iadecola
said
the
estimated
two
teaspoons
of
salt
the
average
Australian
eats
each
day
could
affect
the
brain
function
in
the
long
term.
However,
the
decline
might
not
be
as
obvious
as
in
the
mice,
who
were
given
extremely
high
levels
of
salt.
“
But
probably
over
years
and
perhaps
decades
—
as
opposed
to
（相对于）
a
few
months
for
the
mice
—
even
lower
levels
of
salt
may
have
a
terrible
effect,
”
Dr
Iadecola
said.
“
High
levels
of
salt
cause
serious
immune
（免疫的）
changes
in
the
organs
in
and
around
the
stomach,
resulting
in
an
almost
autoimmune
（自身免疫的）
effect
on
the
brain.
It
is
part
of
a
growing
body
of
evidence
that
we
really
are
what
we
eat,
”
Bryce
Vissel,
director
of
the
Centre
for
Neuroscience
at
the
University
of
Technology
Sydney,
said.
“Those
changes
in
turn
cause
all
sorts
of
responses
in
the
body,
which
over
time
certainly
lead
to
cognitive
impairments.
”
12.
Which
can
describe
the
tested
mice?
A.
They
forgot
some
routine
things.
B.
They
became
smarter
than
ever.
C.
They
remain
quiet
all
day.
D.
They
were
quick
at
finding
objects.
13.
What
does
the
decline
in
Paragraph
3
refer
to?
A.
the
good
effect
of
high
levels
of
salt
intake
on
Australians
B.

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I
began
to
grow
up
that
winter
night
when
my
parents
and
I
were
returning
from
my
aunt's
house
,
and
my
mother
said
that
we
might
soon
be
leaving
for
America.We
were
on
the
bus
then.I
was
crying，and
some
people
on
the
bus
were
turning
around
to
look
at
me.I
remember
that
I
could
not
bear
the
thought
of
never
hearing
again
the
radio
program
for
school
children
to
which
I
listened
every
morning.
I
do
not
remember
myself
crying
for
this
reason
again.In
fact，I
think
I
cried
very
little
when
I
was
saying
goodbye
to
my
friends
and
relatives.When
we
were
leaving
I
thought
about
all
the
places
I
was
going
to
see—the
strange
and
magical
places
I
had
known
only
from
books
and
pictures.The
country
I
was
leaving
and
never
to
come
back
was
hardly
in
my
head
then.
The
four
years
that
followed
taught
me
the
importance
of
optimism(乐观),
but
the
idea
did
not
come
to
me
at
once.For
the
first
two
years
in
New
York
I
was
really
lost—having
to
study
in
three
schools
as
a
result
of
family
moves.I
did
not
quite
know
what
I
was
or
what
I
should
be.Mother
remarried，and
things
became
even
more
complex
for
me.Some
time
passed
before
my
stepfather
and
I
got
used
to
each
other.I
was
often
sad,
and
saw
no
end
to
“the
hard
times”.
My
responsibilities
in
the
family
increased
a
lot
since
I
knew
English
better
than
everyone
else
at
home.I
wrote
letters,
filled
out
forms，translated
at
interviews
with
Immigration
officers(移民局官员),
took
my
grandparents
to
the
doctor
and
translated
there，and
even
discussed
telephone
bills
with
company
representatives.
From
my
experiences
I
have
learned
one
important
rule:
Almost
all
common
troubles
go
away
at
last！Something
good
is
certain
to
happen
in
the
end
when
you
do
not
give
up，and
just
wait
a
little！I
believe
that
my
life
will
turn
out
all
right，even
though
it
will
not
be
that
easy.

A
storm
hit
Houston,
Texas,
on
Tuesday.
It
brought
heavy
rains
and
rising
flood?waters.
By
Tuesday
night，some
parts
of
the
city
had
received
10
inches
of
rain.
Police
and
firefighters
helped
people
move
to
safe
places.
They
also
saved
people
from
cars
and
buses
that
were
stuck
on
roads.
Certain
areas
around
Houston
were
hit
really
hard.
In
just
four
hours，more
than
seven
inches
of
rain
fell
in
Sugar
Land
in
the
southwest
of
Houston.
Cars
could
not
pass
through
any
of
the
areas
main
roadways.
On
Twitter，Sugar
Land
city
officials
asked
people
to
get
to
high
ground.
Tuesday's
rain
hit
parts
of
Texas
that
Hurricane
Harvey
had
already
damaged
almost
two
years
ago.
Hurricane
Harvey
in
August,
2017
was
the
second
most
costly
hurricane
in
US
history.
It
caused
$125
billion
worth
of
damage
in
Texas.
In
the
Houston
area，36
people
died
and
about
150,000
homes
were
flooded.
Aspokesman
forthe
Harris
County
Office
of
Homeland
Security
and
Emergency
Management
spoke
with
the
Houston
Chronicle.
The
spokesman
said
that
this
week's
rain
is
“not
in
any
way
a
Harvey?level
event.”
But
the
worst
may
not
be
over
yet.
People
will
have
a
break
from
the
heavy
rain
on
Wednesday.
According
to
the
National
Weather
Service，the
Texas
Gulf
Coast
will
continue
to
experience
heavy
rain
later
in
the
week.“Today
should
be
our
quietest
over
the
next
few
days
for
rainfall，”
said
Don
Oettinger
,
a
National
Weather
Service
meteorologist
(气象学家).
Houston
Fire
Chief
Samuel
Peia
warned，“As
there
is
too
much
water
on
the
ground，these
are
perfect
conditions
for
flash
floods，so
we
hope
people
are
careful
of
what
they're
doing
and
encourage
them
to
stay
home.
There's
no
sense
in
putting
yourself，firefighters
or
anybody
in
danger
needlessly.”

C
When
faced
with
the
decision
to
get
out
of
bed
or
have
a
few
more
minutes
of
sleep，which
do
you
choose？Believe
it
or
not，that
decision
could
make
a
world
of
difference
in
the
rest
of
your
day.
About
85
percent
of
Americans
use
an
alarm
clock
to
wake
up
in
the
mornings，
according
to
sleep
researcher
Till
Roennenber.
And
while
there
are
no
official
numbers
on
snoozing
(打盹)，
a
quick
survey
of
social
media
makes
it
clear
that
hitting
the
snooze
button
is
a
popular
pastime.
As
to
how
the
snooze
button
will
affect
your
day，scientists
have
mixed
opinions.
Some
scientists
think
people
who
hit
the
snooze
button
in
the
mornings
are
actually
clever，creative
and
happy
while
some
said
that
hitting
the
snooze
button
will
ruin
your
life，or
at
the
very
least
your
day.
“I
feel
that
hitting
the
snooze
button
has
got
to
be
one
of
the
worst
things
that
ever
happened
to
human
sleep，”researcher
Jonathan
Horowitz
said.
“The
chances
of
you
‘snoozing'
and
actually
experiencing
a
meaningful
rest
are
close
to
zero.”
According
to
some
sleep
experts，when
hitting
the
snooze
button，you
are
in
fact
confusing
your
body
and
mind，and
throwing
yourself
into
a
deep
state
of
being
sleepy.
The
body
needs
some
time
to
wake
up，so，when
returning
to
what
will
be
a
light
sleep
for
a
brief
period
of
time，
you
are
putting
your
body
back
into
a
sleep
mode
before
waking
it
again.
At
that
point
your
body
won't
know
what
it
wants，resulting
in
a
sort
of
half
awaken
state.
If
you
really
want
to
take
advantage
of
an
alarm
clock，the
key
is
to
form
a
healthy
sleep
cycle.
Focus
your
efforts
on
getting
enough
sleep
each
night
and
waking
up
at
the
same
time
each
day
so
that
when
your
alarm
goes
off
you
feel
rested.
28.What
can
we
infer
about
hitting
the
snooze
button
from
Paragraph
2？
A.People
do
it
just
for
fun.
B.People
take
it
seriously.
C.It
is
a
common
practice.
D.It
is
a
bit
childish.
29.What
do
some
sleep
experts
think
of
hitting
the
snooze
button？
A.It
is
meaningful
in
the
long
term.
B.It
makes
people
become
lazy.
C.It
brings
us
a
sense
of
satisfaction.
D.It
affects
our
body
and
mind.
30.What's
the
author's
suggestion
on
getting
the
best
out
of
alarms？
A.Forming
a
good
sleep
habit.
B.Trying
to
relax
ourselves.
C.Making
use
of
willpower.
D.Using
an
extra
alarm.
31.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text？
A.Ways
to
keep
refreshed
in
the
morning.
B.The
snooze
button
and
people's
character.
C.How
to
avoid
the
light
sleep
mode？
D.Should
you
rely
on
the
snooze
button？

Airport
security
is
there
to
protect
you,
but
it
may
also
give
you
a

worse
.

we’ve
been
warned
are
covered
with
germs－the
subway
seat,
airplane
cabins,
the
ATM－add
the
airport
security
trays(托盘).
The
plastic

checkpoints
around
the
globe
and
touched
by
millions
of
passengers
as
they
drop
shoes,

and
other
items
into
them
to
clear
X-ray
scanners－have
been
found
to
have
a
variety
of
germs
in
them,
including
the
ones
responsible
for
the
common
cold,
according
to
researchers
in
Europe.
Scientists
from
the
University
of
Nottingham
in
England
examined
frequently
touched
surfaces
at
Helsinki
Airport
in
Finland
during
and
after
peak
hours
in
the
winter
of
2016
and
found
rhinovirus,
the
source
of
the
common
cold
in
them.
They
found
it
on
half
the
baggage
trays,
more
than
on
any
of
the
other
surfaces
they
tested.
It
wasn't
found
on
toilet
surfaces
at
the
airport.
The
findings
could
help
improve
public
health
strategies
in
the
fight
against
the
spread
of
infectious
diseases
worldwide.
The
European
Union
has
funded
a
research
project,
called
PANDHUB,
on
preventing
the
spread
of“high--threat
”
pathogens(病原体)
on
public
transportation,
and
the
study
by
the
University
of
Nottingham
is
part
of
that
project
.
"The
presence
of
germs
in
the
environment
of
an
airport
has
not
been
examined
previously,
said
Niina
Ikonen,
who
was
involved
in
the
study.
Finavia,
the
company
that
operates
Helsinki
Airport,
said
in
an
email,“At
Finavia
airports,
the
hygiene(卫生)
standards
are
applied
in
accordance
with
health
officials'
requirements－all
surfaces
are
cleaned
daily
and
all
security
checkpoint
trays,
etc.,
are
washed
regularly."
Washing
your
hands
properly
and
coughing
into
a
tissue
or
sleeve,
especially
in
public
places,
can
help
minimize
the
risk
of
catching
infectious
diseases,
said
Jonathan
Van-Tam,
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Nottingham.
"These
simple
measures
can
help
prevent
the
spread
of
germs
and
are
most
important
in
crowded
areas
like
airports
that
have
a
high
volume
of
people
traveling
to
and
from
many
different
parts
of
the
world."
he
added.
32.
What
should
air

do
according
to
Van-Tam?
A.
Avoid
touching
other
people
.
B.
Spend
less

came
to
the

【答案】
Dear
Tom，
I'm
so
glad
to
know
that
you
will
come
and
study
in
our
school
as
an
exchange
student
for
one
year.
I'm
ready
to
give
you
some
suggestions
that
can
help
you
get
used
to
the
life
and
study
here
as
quickly
as
possible.
When
it
comes
to
the
life
in
our
school，
first
of
all，
it
must
be
made
clear
that
we
should
never
be
late
for
school
or
leave
school
before
it's
over.
What's
more，we're
requested
to
wear
school
uniforms
and
to
keep
our
schoolyard
clean
and
tidy.
In
addition，
mobile
phones
are
not
allowed
to
bring
back
to
the
school.
Finally，
when
you're
walking
or
riding
on
the
road，
please
remember
to
keep
to
the
right，
which
is
quite
different
from
England.
As
for
study，
there
are
many
subjects
in
the
senior
high
school，
so
I
suggest
that
you
should
arrange
your
time
properly
so
that
you
can
finish
the
homework
on
time.
If
you
could
spare
some
time
to
preview
the
lessons，
it
would
be
much
better.
Yours,
Li
Hua
