Do you long to keep up with the times? If so, here are some old-fashioned words you should remove from your vocabulary list.WhippersnapperAs an alteration of the term "snippersnapper'', the word first appeared in the 17th century, expressing our ancestors' annoyance at ill-mannered children. In its more contemporary version, the word relates to a young person who is too confident and does not show enough respect to older.TapeAre you born in the 1980s? If so, you may still be using the term "tape" when speaking of recording music or TV shows. Today, though digital media has made data storage on magnetic an outdated thing, this old linguistic habit still exists.StewardessIn the earlier age of air travel, female crew members serving airline passengers were called stewardesses. It was the development of women's rights movement in the 1960s that the word fell out of use. "Stewardess" was replaced by a more gender-neutral term, "flight attendant”. DungareesWhat we know as "jeans" today were once called “dungarees" to refer to trousers made of denim （蓝粗棉布）.As traders began importing the cloth from Genoa in Italy, this kind of trousers got a new name ’jeans”. So don't be surprised if you catch your grandpa saying dungarees.1. Who can be described as a whippersnapper nowadays?A. A child who is bad-tempered.B. An elder who doesn't like children.C. An elder who has confidence and influence.D. A teenager who is overconfident and impolite.2. Which of the following has become out of date with digital technology?A. Whippersnapper.     B. Tape. C. Stewardess.      D. Dungarees.3. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show readers how to stay young.B. To explain how to keep up with the times.C. To analyze the differences among modem words.D. To advise readers not to use some old-fashioned words. BEugene O'Neill, who was born in 1888, in New York, was a leading American drama writer and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936. His father was a successful touring actor. Because of that, Eugene spent his early childhood in hotels, on trains, and backstage. Although later in his life he grew to hate his father for not giving him security in his early years and a loving, comfortable family, he had the theater in his blood.As a student, O'Neill went to boarding schools but spent the summers in a moderate house his family owned. He left Princeton University in 1907, only about one year after he entered it, to start what he later called his real education in "life experience". At the age of 24, he was hired as a reporter and poetry column writer for the New London Telegraph.O'Neill didn't cut a figure in playwriting until the summer of 1916. Before that, he had written awkward plays that were hardly accepted by the mainstream of American theater. While O'Neill was only one of those whose plays were produced by the theater, he led the group to success because of his contribution within the next few years. Between 1916 and 1920, the theater produced all of O'Neill's one-act sea plays. By the time his first full-length play, Beyond the Horizon, was produced on Broadway on February 2, 1920 at the Morosco Theater, the young playwright already had a small reputation.Theater critics spoke highly of Beyond the Horizon for its tragic realism. The play brought O'Neill more public attention, as well as his first Pulitzer Prize, apart from which he won another three for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long Day's Journey into Night. Over the next two decades, O'Neill continued to gain reputation nationally and globally. He became the most widely produced dramatist after Shakespeare and Bernard Shaw.4. What might inspire O'Neill's passion for theater?A. His father's career.   B. The support of his familyC. Hotel rooms he had lived in.   D. Stories he had heard on trains.5. Why did O'Neill drop out of Princeton University?A. He didn't want to study in a boarding school.B. He wanted to receive real education from life.C. He got a job from the New London Telegraph.D. He was unsatisfied with the university education.6. What does the underlined phrase “cut a figure" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Show interest.          B. Hold a degree.     C. Attract attention.          D. Receive an award.7. What can we learn about O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon?A. It drew theater critics attention to tragic realism.B. It inspired him to compose another three dramas.C. It increased his reputation in the field of theater.D. It made him the most widely produced dramatist in history.CFor years, Hainan, China's southernmost island province, has been an attractive tourist destination for people around the world because of its pleasant environment. Beginning this year, the beautiful island will have a new identity—an open and distinctive free trade port.The Hainan Free Trade Port will serve as a special functional economic area and its level of openness will be better than any other port in the world. Products and funds from abroad will have free access to the port, and most goods will be duty-free. The decision shows China's willingness to further open up to the world.The province of Hainan was founded in 1988. Later it became an appointed special economic (SEZ) to attract foreign investment. In 1992, the Yangpu Economic Development Zone, which was the first area in China to be comprehensively developed by foreign investors, was established. After eight years, in 2000, Hainan took the lead in carrying out a policy of visa on arrival. In the following years, a series of similar initiatives have been implemented for Hainan's continuous development, including a pilot zone for free trade founded in 2018.Apart from an attractive landscape, Hainan's industrial structure features tourism and modem services. Not only will they become the highlights of the free trade port, but also they are in line with the rapid trade growth in global services as well as the development of many ports toward the service sector. In addition, as a free trade zone and port at provincial level, Hainan has a satisfying scale and full experience. All these advantages will enable Hainan to become a global trade center.From SEZ to free trade pilot zone, and now today's free trade port, Hainan's development and its determination to build an open economy are evident to all. It's hoped that it will seize the chance of free trade and attract more business and experienced professionals from around the world to come to the island.8. What's Hainan's future plan?A. To construct a free trade port.B. To boost Hainan's tourism and services.D. To strengthen environmental protection.C. To remove the tax on all imports and exports.9. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes.   B. By giving descriptions.C. By following time order.   D. By making comparisons.10. Which of the following is good for Hainan to become a global trade center?A. Its slow trade growth.   B. Its traditional services.C. Its development of IT industry.   D. Its distinctive service industry.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Hainan: A Push for Global EconomyB. Hainan: A Witness to China's Opening-UpC. Hainan: An Island Full of Ups and DownsD. Hainan: An Unforgettable Tourist Destination DPoaching（盗猎）has been threatening the survival of the African black rhino for long. But thanks to conservation efforts, the population of this endangered animal is slowly increasing, according to a recent update of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.Between 2012 and 2018, the number of black rhinos in Africa has increased moderately, at annual rate of 2.5%, The population in the wild has grown from approximately 4,845 to 5,630. As IUCN's update suggests, the population models predict the number will continue to rise slowly over the next five years.The white rhino, Africa's another rhino species that exists in greater numbers, has been on the IUCN Red List categorized as Near Threatened. Compared to the black rhino, the white rhino is at higher risk of being poached as it has larger horns and prefers more open habitats, which makes it easier to spot.The threat to the two species mainly comes from poaching for the illegal international rhino horn trade. Fortunately, in recent years, a number of groups including range states, private landowners, and communities have been making efforts to protect them, and the measures are working. In 2015, there were at least 1,349 rhinos poached—an average of 3.7 rhinos hunted per day. Since then, the poaching numbers have decreased every year. In 2018, there were at least 892 rhinos poached, meaning approximately 2.4 African rhinos poached per day, or one every 10 hours. The data for 2019 looks promising as the poaching levels appear to have further gone down.Although the levels of rhino poaching have been declining slightly in recent years due to conservation efforts, the costs of keeping rhinos safe have greatly gone up and sale prices for live rhinos have decreased considerably over the last 10 years, making private landowners and communities less motivated to protect rhinos. This trend could delay the continued progress of expanding the species range and numbers.12. Which of the following can best describe the number of the African rhinos now?A. Slightly declining.  B. Slowly expanding.C. Greatly increasing.  D. Considerably decreasing.13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The better situation for the African white rhinos.B. The reason for protecting the African white rhinos.C. The process of the white rhino being on the IUCU Red List.D. The reason why the African white rhino is more likely to be poached.14. In which year did the African rhinos suffer the most from poaching?A. In 2015.  B. In 2016. C. In 2018.  D. In 2019.15. What can be the author's attitude to the future range and numbers of rhinos?A. Favorable.  B. Confident. C. Concerned.  D. Uninterested. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。The wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since 1992.
