On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it. There was a picture in the magazine.”“Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. The people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.“May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” I didn’t want to listen to a tour guide talking about a painting I was not interested in. Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very strange, keeping their eyes on me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. “The McNay Art Museum!” I answered. He smiled, shaking head. “Sorry, it is on New Braunfels Street.” “Then, what’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” “What?!” I was shocked. I ran to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”“There’re some really good works of art up there.” She stepped down, looking puzzled. I pushed her towards the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us. You have a really nice place.”The real McNay was wonderful, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso, Da Vinci, Monet... This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.On a sunny day 30 years later, a woman came close to me. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a house, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes... But how do you know?”“Well, that was my home. I was the teenager sitting at the corner of the hall that day. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”26. Why did the writer refuse the help from the man in the house?

The real museum didn’t have enough artwork to interest her.28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. People should have good taste to enjoy life.B. People should spend more time with their family.C. People would like to educate teenagers at a museum.D. People usually pay no attention to the beauty around them.29. How does the writer develop the story?

In all, he has completed the afforestation（植树造林）of more than 2,000 mu of land and has planted more than 600,000 trees. Over the years, he has donated young trees worth more than 4 million yuan. He was awarded the title of National Model of Greening and Afforestation in 2006, and received the National Green Gold Great Wall Medal in 2018.Li was born in 1944 in Shandong province. In 1973, he came to Daur to visit relatives. To pass time, he collected mushrooms, fungus and hazelnuts and earned more than 300 yuan a week. That was what he used to earn in his hometown in a year. So he decided to stay there a live a better life.In the following years, Li and his wife lived a quiet and comfortable life by farming. But a sudden rainstorm in 1980 washed away their land. Therefore, he decided to plant trees to make a living and protect the local environment.Seeing he was strong-willed, his wife decided to go up into the mountains with him.Life in the mountains was very hard. There was no electricity and mosquitoes were everywhere. There were no vegetable fields, so they had to pick wild vegetables to feed themselves. They had little for rest. Planting trees in spring is the hardest. Every morning, they had to move the young trees up to the mountain, and work for more than 10 hours every day.What’s worse, because of a lack of（缺乏）technology and planting experience, less than 10% of the young trees could survive in the first seven years. So Li began to read various forestry magazines. Their hard work attracted support from the local government including technology and money. Thanks to that, more than 95% of the pine trees could grow well.They have also put their experience in planting trees in a guidebook to share with the villagers, to encourage others to take up afforestation.And now Li Zhenhai’s biggest wish is that everyone plants a few trees every year. He believes the desert will finally become an oasis by doing this.30. What difficulties did Li and his wife face?
 A. They sometimes met rainstorms.B. There were no vegetables for them to eat.C. They didn’t have enough experience in planting trees.D. They were too old to carry the trees to the mountain.31. What can be used to describe Li?
 ① strict about his work      ② never give up his dream③ willing to share       ④ ready to createA. ① and ②   B. ② and ③   C. ② and ④   D. ③ and ④32. Which shows the correct order of the old couple’s story?a. Their land was washed away.b. Li collected mushrooms, fungus and hazelnuts.c. They shared their experience with the villagers.d. Li and his wife lived a hard life in the mountains.e. They got technical support from the local government.f. Li received the National Green Gold Great Wall Medal.A. b-a-d-e-c-f   B. b-d-a-c-e-f   C. f-b-d-a-e-c   D. f-b-a-d-e-c33. What can be the best title for the passage?
 A. A Tree-planter’s lifeB. Planting Trees is Good for UsC. Li Zhenhai, a Real Tree-planterD. Li Zhenhai and His Wife CRethinking “Smarter” CitiesThe idea of “smart” cities was first put forward in the 1970s. Since then, it has spread to more and more countries. People hoped new technologies could help them live happier lives in cities.Governments aren’t the only ones interested in building “smarter” cities. Many companies see the smart city program as a great chance to make money. Leading tech companies have all offered their smart-city solutions. However, many project designers don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech sales people than city builders.This can cause many problems. City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve people’s living conditions? Private companies, however, have to take care of their own business interests first. Their answer to every problem is simply more technology. Their solutions often have nothing to do with people’s daily lives.Sometimes, the problem is not a shortage of “smart” technologies. For example, self-driving cars are certainly “smarter” than bicycles. However, they may cause much more traffic jams. They don’t really make the city a better place to live.City managers should carefully think about the kind of life to provide for people. Planneres and tech developers should work according to this blueprint（蓝图）. They should stop worrying about making our cities “smarter” and start to focus on making them better.34. Which of the following “interest” has the same meaning as the underlined one in Paragraph 3?A. By then, I’ve lost interest in the game.B. Her main interests are music and tennis.C. You can find many places of interest in Guangzhou.D. The law was made to protect the interests of the local people.35. According to the writer, what should be the first step to build a better city?
 A. We should be able to avoid traffic jams.B. Companies should take care of their business interests.C. Companies should develop more technological products.D. City planners must think about a better life for their people.36. Why does the writer use “rethinking” in the title?
 A. We should have more ideas for smarter cities.B. Better cities are more necessary than smarter ones.C. Bicycles will make city lives more enjoyable than smart cars.D. Companies should think of more solutions for their own problems. D If and when you are considering getting a new pet, the first thing to do is to consider yourself and your lifestyle. Never buy a pet out of a sudden idea. Animal shelters（庇护所）worldwide are full of wonderful pets whose owners got them but later realize they could not take care of them. Learn more about how to choose the right pet below. Not all pets are the same. Some pets are more self-sufficient than others — certain pets such as dogs require a lot of attention, others such as turtles can go days (even weeks) without food and water, so you should think carefully before you bring home a pet. You can find books and articles on the Internet to help you select the right pet, but these questions are a good place to start:How much time and energy are you able to give a pet?● Are the family members all busy working / studying?● Is there anyone who can look after the animal when you all are away from home?What is your living situation?● Do you live in a flat or a house?● Have you got a fenced yard?● ______▲______What ages are your family members?● Are they too young to be left alone with a pet?● Are they old enough to help take care of the animal?● Are there elderly people who may be uncomfortable to an overactive pet?Do any family members have allergies or fears about certain types of pets?
Is the family in agreement about owning a pet?Where will the pet spend its time? Asking yourself these questions will help you decide if a dog or cat is a better choice, or if a bird or rabbit would better suit your lifestyle. Once your choice has not been narrowed down, come talk to us or e-mail us at petchoice@126.com. Our staff are experts in helping you choose the right pet for your situation.37. Before bringing a pet home, you need to ______.A. find a shelter for your petB. clean your house with family membersC. ask your family members’ permissionD. learn different ways of keeping pets safe38. If you want more information, you can contact the company by the following ways EXCEPT ______.A.      B.

Is your family going to have a newborn baby?
 D. Are you going to live here for a long time or plan to move soon?40. The passage is written for people who ______.A. are not sure about keeping petsB. want to buy a pet at a better priceC. need help in choosing the right petD. ask advice on how to look after pets 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Hello, I am Hanna from France.
