An application to transform networks.B. An organization to limit Internet speed.C. A piece of equipment to improve Wi-Fi.D. A formal provider to offer Internet service.22. What can Wifi UltraBoost do?A. Guarantee high-quality video calls.B. Help Internet routers function normally.C. Set up connection among Wi-Fi signals.D. Save the electricity used to surf the Internet.23. What might be the current price of Wifi UltraBoost?A. $ 99.99 B. $59.99 C. $ 69,99 D. S 39.99BSeveral weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we'd visited, and I pointed them out on the map.Google Maps and GPS are modem wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, "When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong in today's classroom. "As a child I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd "seen”. Even now as a mother of four, I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse “big picture” thinking, showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them withinit.So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.24. How did the children react when they were given the paper map?A. They showed great curiosity.B. They seemed totally confused.C. They considered it old-fashioned.D. They found it less convenient than GPS.25. What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir?A. The teaching focus in today's classroom.B. The situations where paper maps are used.C. The necessity of digital maps in the modem world.D. The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.26. Which of the following shows the author's opinion?A. Internet connections are very reliable today.B. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.C. Paper maps provide kids with a grand vision.D. Paper maps make people connected with each other.27. What would be the best tide for the text?A. Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper Maps.B. How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of Maps.C. Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger World.D. How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper Maps.CPolyurethane (聚氨酯)'s durability (耐久性)has made it a desirable material in many industries that depend on its flexibility and light weight to mass-produce things. But its long length of service also makes it extremely difficult to break down or be recycled into new products. Therefore, many tons of polyurethane plastics end up in waste fields, where they pile up for decades, harming the health of wild animals and humans alike.For most creatures, the build-up of polyurethane plastics means only bad news. But at least one of Earth's organisms sees them as a favor: a kind of bacterium called Pseudomonas sp. TDA1 that appears to love eating some parts of this kind of plastics. This organism seems to grow well in waste fields.Other plastic-chewing bacteria have been discovered before, but each seems to have their own taste in types of chemicals they prefer to break down. Pseudomonas sp. TDA1 is one of only a few organisms known to be tolerant to the plastics' typically poisonous characters. What's more, the bacterium doesn’t just survive the plastics' unpleasant ingredients (成分):It uses some of them as a food source." While there is still much work to be done, this is exciting and necessary research that shows the power of valuable biocatalysts (生物催化剂)found in nature," John McGeehan, the director of the Centre for Enzyme Innovation said. "Understanding and using such natural processes will open the door for new recycling solutions. "Mass microbial (微生物的)clean-ups of plastics aren't necessarily possible in our future, however. The bacterium doesn’t seem able to break down these products completely. But the study " author Hermann J. Heipieper hopes that in-depth studies of Pseudomonas sp. TDA1 will uncover the genes crucial to these plastic-attacking abilities. Understanding how these genes and their products work could help scientists engineer environmentally-friendly approaches to handling plastics in the future.In the meantime, Heipieper stresses the importance of not worsening the plastic issue. As he tells The Guardian9 ”The main message should be to avoid using plastics which are later thrown into the environment in the first place. "28. What do we learn about polyurethane from Paragraph 1?A. Its recycling takes decades.B. It is not commonly seen in life.C. It is not mass-produced in many industries.D. Its durability makes it a double-edged sword.29. Why did Pseudomonas sp. TDA1 draw scientists' attention?A. Because it makes plastics less poisonous.B. Because it feeds on polyurethane plastics.C. Because it has a special taste for chemicals.D. Because it removes plastics' unpleasant ingredients.30. What do John McGeehan's words in Paragraph 4 mainly reflect?A. The breakthrough in plastic recycling.B. The process of developing biocatalysts.C. The reliability of new recycling solutions.D. The significance of recycling used things.31. What's Heipieper's recommended way of handling plastic pollution?A. Recycling plastics in a green way.B. Finding more valuable biocatalysts.C. Using fewer plastics in our daily life.D. Setting up strict standards for producing plastics.DSixty percent of Americans play video games daily, according to Techjury. In order to escape from the reality of quarantine (隔离),more people have turned to video games and VR (virtual reality) has become more popular than ever.The world of VR isn't new to the gaming industry. It has been an ongoing concept for years, dating back to the 1800s. NASA popularized VR technology in 1989, bringing light to advancements that had never been seen before, and in 1991, SEGA introduced VR to gamers.Gaming companies such as Oculus and HTC have redefined gaming by allowing players to involve themselves deeply in the world of VR through personal headsets. VR users are able to socialize through chat rooms, create 3D art and exercise through heart-pumping gameplay. Once a user puts on a headset, they are immediately transported into a virtual world. This allows the player to have a better experience compared to simply staring at a TV with a game controller.Although VR has many positive aspects, using virtual reality too much can cause health problems among users. When using VR, it is common for people to lose spatial(空间的)awareness. Therefore, users are encouraged to play in an area that is clear of furniture and other objects causing potential danger. Eye strain can also be caused by using VR too much, so it is important to limit your time playing in virtual reality and take breaks in order to minimize the possibility of experiencing negative health effects.How VR will develop in the future is unknown to us. However, new advancements for it are on the way. Teslasuit, a company specializing in VR equipment, is creating haptic (触觉的)suits for VR gameplay. These suits will allow users to feel aspects of VR while in game and will increase involvement, build 360-degree awareness and engage muscle memory. There are an endless number of possibilities that users can experience and create in VR, and the boundaries of the virtual world are limitless.32. The second paragraph is mainly concerned with .A. the function of VRB. the origin of VR gamesC. the history of online gamesD. the future of the gaming industry33. Compared with playing games on TV, playing VR games enables players to .A. do physical exercise together in natureB. have a more realistic gaming experienceC. enjoy better-quality pictures and soundsD. play games without disturbing others34. What does the underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. contact B. movement C. opening D. damage35. What attitude does the writer hold towards the future of VR?A. negative B. objective C. confident D. suspicious第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many people like reading books for fun. Actually reading is good for more than just entertainment. 36 .Reading can improve intelligence.People who exhibit strong reading skills early in life grow up to be more intelligent. That was the finding of a study that measured the cognitive (认知的)development of many sets of identical twins.37 Therefore, the study authors concluded that more stress should be placed on teaching strong reading skills to young children.Reading helps increase empathy (共鸣).Reading can make you a kinder person. According to a study, people who consume literary fiction have an easier time sensing and relating to emotions in other people. 38 Great literature forces readers to step outside themselves and empathize with the characters they are reading about.Reading lets you fall asleep more quickly.Reading a physical book before going to bed is a great alternative to looking at your phone. Smartphone use at night makes it harder for people to fall asleep and leads to an overall decline in sleep quality. On the contrary, reading books can improve sleep quality. 39 Research shows when reading, people can better relax after a busy stressful day.40 Reading doesn’t have to be a solitary (独自的)activity. When parents read out loud to their children, they can not only pass on the benefits of reading but also encourage meaningful interactions. A recent study found that reading can promote the deepest connections between caretakers and children.A. Reading lets parents and kids have fun.B. Reading can help families bond together.C. They have the same family environment.D. That's because reading can have relaxing effects.E. Sticking to reading can have many other positive effects.F. This effect has something to do with the way such books are written.G. In the tests twins with early reading skills were better at reasoning, imagining, etc.第三部分:语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Mark Bertram lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018.
