B. The Bulgari Hotel.
The Goring Hotel
C. The Beaumont Hotel.
D. The Rosewood Hotel.
Since first opening in 1910, it is London's oldest family-owned luxury hotel with the second-largest
privately-owned garden in London after Buckingham Palace. The rooms of this hotel are smaller than those
of many other London's top hotels. There are 12 interconnecting rooms, which are ideal for families.
The Beaumont Hotel
B
Elaine Su shared her experience of asking her neighbors to put up Lunar New Year decorations, helping
her two-year-old son experience the festival as part of the large community. In a neighbourhood mostly
consisting of non-Chinese residents, more than half of the households complied(遵循) the tradition as well.
Interviewing her for the story provoked my own memories of celebrating Lunar New Year. The holiday
was a big deal for me as a kid growing up in Jiangsu.
This 1926 building, formerly a parking garage, has been transformed into one of London's hottest
hotels. Its art collection, personal service, elegant rooms and hot restaurants make it a favorite on our
London list. There's also an impressive 2. 5 staff to every person and a 24-hour doorkeeper to make sure that
guests' needs are met around the clock.
Legend says the holiday originated with the fight against a mythical beast called Nian, who came down
from the mountains to hunt people on New Year's Eve. Villagers discovered that Nian feared the colour red,
candle light and loud noise. So they began to decorate with the vibrant hue, light their homes with lanterns
and set off firecrackers to prevent its return.
The Bulgari Hotel
This hotel has some of the largest accommodations in the capital. It's very modern and huge with six
floors below and nine above ground. It feels big, but there are only 85 rooms and suites spread over six floors,
indicating how spacious (宽敞的) they are. The Bulgari Hotel has many child-friendly rooms and activities
to keep the kids busy: a swimming pool, a cinema, PlayStations, Xbox and lots of other games. The Bulgari
spa is spread over two stories. And the doorkeeper can also arrange babysitting.
The Rosewood Hotel
On New Year's Eve, my family would come together to celebrate with food prepared by my grandma.
Moments before the countdown, the sound of firecrackers would fill every corner of our apartment and the
celebrations continued into the next day.
For breakfast, we would eat yuan xiao, a kind of glutinous rice ball, which symbolizes the idea of
reunion. Then, it was off to visit my grandparents, who were already awaiting us and my other extended
family with lucky money and more traditional delicacy!
Rosewood is within walking distance of many of the city's main attractions. From the outside, the
building is large and impressive with an elegant courtyard designed for horse-drawn carriages (四轮马车).
There is also a great spa and fitness center. As for activities for kids, there are food activities, art and wildlife.
The doorkeeper can arrange trips to the London Zoo.
My favourite part of the holiday came after the adults were playing mahjong. My cousins and I were
finally freed from our parents. With all the lucky money, we hit the streets and bought more snacks and more

firecrackers!
powering. The problem is that this liquid is made of harmful materials that are sometimes unstable. They
sometimes have explosive(易爆炸的 ) results. A solid conducting structure would prevent this from
happening, but it could be likely to crack and break, making the battery useless.
An ideal material for solid state lithium-ion batteries would be thin and flexible to resist structural
stresses, and it is wood from a tree. The team in charge of the new research developed a mixed material made
of copper (铜) and fibers coming from wood. They tested it out as a model for conducting ions(离子) back
and forth in a lithium-ion battery, and found it works 10 to 100 times better than other solid-state
conductors(导体)-a record high.
Having immigrated to Canada for years, I further lost touch with my Chinese culture as I gradually
dived into my new life in a new country. Maybe it's time for me, like her, to reclaim Lunar New Year.
24. What can we infer about Elaine Su in paragraph 1?
A. She missed her family in China very much.
B. She forced her son to accept Chinese customs.
C. She shared her happy memories with her neighbors.
D. She celebrated Lunar New Year in another country.
25. What does the underlined words "provoked" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
The new findings are just based on basic model tests, and a rechargeable battery made of trees is still
quite a way off. But if it passes test as a practical form of energy, it can very well replace rechargeable
batteries. It is not hard to imagine electric cars having better sales for their real green, but saying that their
batteries are just made from trees is beyond our imagination.
A. Stirred up.
B. Put out.
C. Took after.
D. Set down.
26. How does the author develop the text?
A. By analyzing studies.
B. By answering questions.
D. By sharing experience.
C. By explaining factors.
28. How are engineers making electric cars greener according to the text?
A. By improving the materials of batteries.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Origin of the Chinese Lunar New Year
B. The Spring Festival Stored in My Memory
C. An Unforgettable Interview on New Year's Eve
D. A Chinese Celebrating the Spring Festival Abroad
B. By reducing lithium-ion in the batteries.
C. By using liquid to conduct electric power.
D. By producing more lithium-ion batteries.
29. What is the advantage of lithium-ion batteries?
A. They contain eco-friendly liquid.
C
B. Their charge lasts for a long time.
Electric cars are supposed to help the world go green and stop hurting the planet. Engineers at Brown
University and the University of Maryland are taking that goal to another other level, with a new idea for
batteries made from trees, according to new findings published in Nature.
C. They offer electrical power stably.
D. They are safe and unlikely to explode.
30. Why is wood chosen as the solid-state conductor?
Lithium-ion batteries (锂电池) have become the new form of rechargeable batteries thanks to their
extraordinarily long charge. You're probably reading this story from a device powered by such a battery.
Most electric cars like ones made by Tesla use lithium-ion batteries.
A. It is resistant to structural pressures.
B. It is much thicker and less changeable.
C. Its copper and fibers conduct ions well.
These batteries use a liquid solution that conducts lithium-ions from the battery's cathode and anode (阴
极和阳极), but the liquid is not what helps ensure electrical power goes from the battery to the device it's
D. It proves to be a practical form of energy.

31. What can we infer about batteries made of trees from the last paragraph?
A. They have taken effect for a long time.
C. Informing cows to notice predators.
D. Recognizing cows quickly.
B. They are still being tested at present.
33. What do we know about the experiment in paragraph 2?
A. Most of the unpainted cows were killed.
C. They will never replace current batteries.
D. They will make electric cars hard to sell.
B. The animals with "eyes" on the rump survived.
C. A small number of cows with "xs" survived.
D. More than twenty painted animals were killed.
34. What might be a cause of the "i-cow" solution's failing to work?
A. The farmers lack basic painting skills.
D
What do you get when you paint a pair of eyes on a cow's rump (臀部)? The answer is that you'll get an
approach to scaring predators (捕食者) away. This simple trick is called the "i-cow" solution. The eyes
painted on cows' rumps can trick certain predators, such as lions and leopards.
B. Every single cow is painted eyes on the rump.
C. There is more than one predator around the area.
D. Predators get closer and closer to the cows.
35. Why does Dr. Jordan think that farmers will favor his method?
A. It is a widely recognized approach.
An experiment by Australia and Botswana compared how predators reacted to herds that had eye
paintings on their rumps, ones that had "xs", and some without any paintings at all. Over a four-year period,
researchers found that 15 out of the 835 unpainted cows were killed by predators, 4 of the 543 cows with
"xs" died, but every single one of the 683 animals with eye paintings on their rumps was still alive.
Neil Jordan, a biologist in Australia, first came up with the method. While watching a lion hunting a deer,
he noticed something interesting. "Lions usually move slowly and quietly to their prey (猎物), get close and
jump on them. But when the deer noticed the lion and the lion realized it had been seen, it gave up on the
hunt," he said. Later, he worked with a local farmer to test his idea over a period of 10 weeks, and like the
most recent results, all of the cows with painted eyes survived.
B. It follows their traditional practice.
C. It is easy and cheap to carry out.
D. It has proved the most effective.
第二节（共 5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分）
The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television.
Despite the positive results, Dr. Jordan says the method isn't a sure solution. He says if farmers painted
eyes on the backsides of all their cows, predators might finally figure out that the eyes aren't real. Therefore,
further research should be done to prove whether it is effective.
In the past, a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week.
36
People, therefore, have
created a new term: binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many
episodes of a whole series in a row.
In spite of this, he's still hoping that the "i-cow" will become a widely used technique to at least reduce
predator's attacks. "I think the farmers are just happy with this," Dr. Jordan says. "After all, all they need is a
paint pot, paint brush and a little bit of artistic talent."
37
In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults
who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences.
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is
binge-watching doing to our health? They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned

So when Simon's mother entered my office and appeared in front of me with a broad smile on her
face, my palms(手心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. "I

twelve years, he has recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. I want to tell you how grateful I am.
You have helped my son develop his self-respect," she continued. Then she kissed me again and left.

When I graduated from the university, I devoted myself to teaching English in a small village
school. One day, a lady called me and told me she was Simon's mother. She said she wanted to call on
me at a right time. Honestly speaking, I had been worried about myself. It made me feel a little fearful
of seeing her because I was a new teacher and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's
case, the grades were very low. He had never spent much time finishing his schoolwork carefully so
that he couldn't even read his own handwriting, not to mention listening to his teachers in class. But he
