The United Nations invited Ho to exhibit his art and his masterpieces at its headquarters in New York in 2006, and he then became a UN global partner. Ho has been doing Chinese art and Chinese brush-painting for more than 50 years and teaching for over 30 years. He has more than 3, 000 students from around the world.“I actually started in Western art when I was younger, working in pencil drawing, oil painting, water color, etc. However, after I met Chinese brush-painting a couple of years later, my eyes and mind were enlightened,”Ho recalled. Chinese and Western artists should respect, appreciate and learn from each other. Ho said one of his missions (使命) is to bring Chinese culture “back to” the centre stage of the world, as it had been for thousands of years.So one of the themes in Ho’s speeches delivered at UN Headquarters was “position well China, and position well the world”. Ho said that some countries demand special treatment from the world or the international court in the name of democracy (民主) and freedom.“This mentality is sick, selfish and bad. The people of the world and Mother Nature are saying no to the greedy. In fact, the whole world cannot afford these types of demands. We as a global family wouldn’t allow this to happen.”Ho said. Contrary to greed, Chinese culture believes that “less is more”.“Chinese culture has been enlightening the world through our art, literature, philosophy, medicine, technologies in astronomy, navigation and four great inventions,”Ho said.4. What did Ho wish to do when he learned Chinese art?A.To be a UN’s partner easier and earlier.B.To make his artwork more enthusiastic.C.To regain its leading position in the world.D.To combine Chinese and Western culture in art.5. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.Democracy and freedom.B.Some countries’ special demands.C.A famous Chinese proverb.D.Ho’s opinion about cultural exchanges.6. What does Ho think of artwork according to the passage?A.A tool for glory and money.B.The carrier of culture.C.A way to the world center.D.A stage for artists.7. What’s the best title for the passage?A.An Artist Whose Heart Beats for WorldB.A Chinese Painting LoverC.A Pioneer Who Promotes Chinese CultureD.A Famous UN Global PartnerCThis is the colorful waste created by a Swedish city with a unique recycling system.Like many cities in Sweden,Eskilstuna has an impressive recycling record. It met the EU 2020 target of recycling 50%of waste many years ago. But almost everyone who lives here follows a strict recycling policy at home. People are expected to sort their household waste into seven separate categories,including food,textiles, cartons(纸板箱) and metal. But what really makes the system stand out is the bright color code.The reason for this becomes clear at the city’s recycling plant. The bags arrive all jumbled up because they’re collected altogether in a rush, once a fortnight from outside people’s houses. But thanks to those bright colors, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently. The food waste in green bags is processed on site into a certain thick liquid to make burnable gas, which powers the city’s buses. One of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross-pollution, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things. Like the rest of Sweden,Eskilstuna is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to landfill. Waste that cannot be recycled is burnt at a local plant to generate electricity. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels, but does create greenhouse gases.As countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may look to Eskilstuna as an example to follow as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting at home.8.What can we learn about Eskilstuna?A.It is flooded with colorful waste.B.It is best-known for waste-recycling.C.Waste there is painted in seven colors.D.Rubbish recycling is handled seriously there.9.What does the underlined word “jumbled” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Mixed together.     B.Collected orderly.C.Sealed cautiously. D.Piled purposefully.10.What may the new recycle-system bring about?A.The increase in the efficiency of waste recycling.B.The convenience to the citizens in waste dropping.C.The avoidance of rubbish related environmental problems.D.The decrease of profit for waste plants.11.Where is this text most likely from?A.Parents. B.InStyle.C.Fortune. D.The New York Times.DThe second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks. It was blown away by a huffing, puffing wolf, which quickly ate him up. His brother, by contrast, built a wolf-proof house from bricks. The fairy tale could have been written by someone hired by the building industry, which strongly favours brick, concrete and steel. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.In 2015 world leaders meeting in Paris agreed to move towards zero net greenhouse-gas emissions in the second half of this century. That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller. Cement-making(水泥制造) alone produces 6% of the world ’s carbon emissions. Steel, half of which goes into buildings, accounts for another 8%. If you factor in all of the energy that goes into lighting, heating and cooling homes and offices, the world’s buildings start to look like a giant environmental problem.However, buildings can become greener. They can use more recycled steel and can be made in sections that can be put together later in off-site factories, greatly reducing lorry journeys. But no other building materials have environmental credentials (证书) as exciting and overlooked as wood.The energy required to produce a wooden beam is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. As trees take carbon out of the atmosphere when growing,wooden buildings contribute to negative emissions by storing the stuff. When a mature tree is cut down, a new one can be planted to replace it, capturing more carbon. After buildings are torn down, old beams and panels are easy to recycle into new structures. And for improving older buildings to be more energy efficient, wood is a good insulator(隔热材料). A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel one of the same thickness and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium equivalent.Wood alone will not bring the environmental cost of the world’s buildings into line. But using wood can do much more than is appreciated. The second little pig was not wrong, just before his time.12.Why is the second little pig with his brother mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.To attract readers. B.To share a story.C.To support the main idea. D.To introduce the topic.13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The world’s buildings are the biggest environmental problem.B.The goal set by world leaders in Paris in 2015 is difficult to achieve.C.The wooden house is not only exciting but also overlooked for a long time.D.The building industry produces 14% of the world’s carbon emissions totally.14. How can buildings become eco-friendly?A.Restoring them.B.Planting more trees in them.C.Recycling old wooden structures.D.Substituting steel windows for wood ones.15. What is the best title for the text?A.The benefit from woodB.The building industryC.The lesson from fairy talesD.The house made of wood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。Why I Got Rid of My Cell PhoneIn 2019 I decided to take a break from my cell phone. Instead of shutting it off completely, I decided to turn it off for a month to see how it goes. By the end of the month I found that I could live without a cell phone. It has been seven months since I have lived without a cell phone. I would like to share with you the reasons why I decided to get rid of my cell phone.16.　　　 Checking my phone was the first thing I did when I woke up and the last thing I did before going to sleep. Throughout the day I would check my phone countless of times. It became a bad habit of mine in which the only way to break it was to be far away from it. When I owned a phone, I was constantly connected to it. I wasn’t taking enough time to see what was right in front of me. There was no end of the day when it came to work and there was not nearly enough time to relax. Instead, I was constantly going.17.　　 18.　　　 If I was having a conversation with someone, I would think about what else I could be doing or texting other people instead of being fully present in the conversation. Now that I don’t have a cell phone, I am more present in my conversations and to my surroundings. I was completely dependent on my cell phone.19.　　　 A cell phone was my quick and easy problem solver. Whatever problem I met during the day, I used my cell phone for the answer. Without my cell phone I have become more self-dependent and a self-problem solver. I also found that my sleep wasn’t as good as it had been in the past. Screens stimulate (刺激) your mind and can affect your natural sleep patterns.20.　　　 However, I did not have the self-control to do this. I would go to bed with a stimulated mind causing me to have a poor night sleep. A.It made me less social.B.I found that I was addicted to my phone.C.Having a cell phone split my attention in half.D.I know that is not good for my health.E.The answer to this is to turn off your phone a few hours before bed.F.These phone-free travels were some of the most liberatingmoments of my life.G.It was my watch, my alarm clock, my email, my maps, my wallet, and my way to talk with friends.第二部分　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。　　FedEx driver Ari Kadin was making his rounds near a pond in Rockwall, Texas.

The global leather industry kills over a billion animals every year. This 37.　　　　 (cause) many to ask the question: is it possible to meet the global demand of leather without 38.　　　　 (do) any harm to animals? A process called biofabrication(生物制造) may be the answer. Biofabrication is not new; it is already commonly used in medicine. Scientists have applied the technique to grow body parts like ear, skin, and bones for transplants(移植). But it can also 39.　　　　 (use) to make other products, such as leather. Scientists will be able to make biofabricated leather with whatever qualities they want, such as extra softness, greater strength, or even different colors and patterns. But how 40.　　　　 (exact) does biofabrication work? 41.　　　　 (grow) leather, scientists begin by taking some cells from an animal, not hurting 42.　　　　 animal in any way. They then set the cells apart and grow them in a lab. This process takes millions of cells and expands them into billions. Next, the scientists take the cells and spread them out to form thin sheets, 43.　　　　 are then put together to combine into a little 44.　　　　 (thick) sheets. Anyone can then dye and finish the leather and design it in any way they like. Andras Forgacs supports biofabrication. He says it may even be a “natural evolution of manufacturing for mankind.” We will be able to make the products we need in an efficient, responsible, 45.　　　　 creative way. 第三部分　写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华,你在网上购买的商品到货了,但拆封之后发现质量并没有想象的那么好。请你给商家写封电子邮件,表达自己的合理诉求。内容包括:1.写电子邮件的目的;2.产品问题的描述;3.你期待商家如何解决问题。注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;2.邮件的开头及结尾已为你写好,不计入总词数。Dear Sir or Madam,     Yours sincerely,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。　　“Now, parents and students separate into two groups. You will be reunited at the end of the campus tour. ”Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this announcement. I was less than thrilled about starting college, let alone leaving my mother’s side to tour the campus with other freshmen;I felt a little anxious.We followed the senior tour guide. The other freshmen chatted and made casual introductions as I dragged behind. How could I have believed I was ready for this? After all, it had only been a few months since I left the hospital. I was feeling better for the first time in years. But college...?My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice, “Hi, I’m Jennifer. ”“I’m Lauren, ”I replied.“Where do you prefer to live? At home or on campus? ”she smiled. “I’m not sure,”I said.“You should live on campus!It will be a lot of fun!”she said. Before I could reply, the tour guide announced it was time to create our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.We crowded into the Student Activity Center. Three seniors handed out thick course bulletins (课程公告)and forms that needed to be filled out. All around me, the sounds of turning papers and writing sounded like those given by an alarm clock. Others seemed to be moving through the process quickly but I hadn’t even opened my course catalog (目录).“Focus, ”I told myself.“Just read through the catalog and find the courses you like and a schedule that works.”Psychology A or B, Geology 101, English, History, sections 1, 2, 3... The list went on and on.I panicked and almost started to cry. How was I supposed to know how to complete it?I was just relearning how to live in the real world, and they wanted me to make a schedule. How I wished someone could help me.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。Paragraph 1:Soon, other freshmen were handing in their forms.                                   Paragraph 2:Then, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.
