A

Jeremy Pound recommends compositions inspired by the beauty of the British countryside. Frederick Delius ： On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring

A bird, cuckoo, in Bradford born Delius’s short work for orchestra （管弦乐）. In this instance, the call of the bird is heard in one wind instrument and later another, while a soft, gentle tune in the strings promises sunny days ahead.

Arnold Bax ： November Woods

Bax' s 1917 symphonic poem for orchestra has, as the title suggests, a wonderfully autumnal feel. A storm gathers in the first half but eventually the music switches to a calmer mood. Few works display the British weather so delicately.

Gustav Holst ： Egdon Heath

Though the title of Holst5 s 1927 orchestral work comes from a fictional location described by Thomas Hardy, the composer was initially inspired to write it by long walks in the south of England. The musical landscape here is rough and sometimes predictive.

Edward Elgar ： Cello Concerto

Is an ageing Elgar looking back over recent global and personal ups and downs in this grand but sorrowful 1919 work, or expressing the beauty of the British countryside? A bit of both, one feels--he associated a passage from it with the Malvern Hills.

21.    Which of the following is the first inspiration of Holst’s 1927 composition?

A. The call of a bird.        B. A storm in the autumn of England.

C. The long walks in southern England.    D. A famous novel by Thomas Hardy.

22. What do we know about Cello Concerto ?

A. It is one of Elgar’s early works.          B. It involves Elgar’s personal experiences.

C. It is developed in a joyful tone.   D. It focuses on the beauty of Malvern Hills.

23.    What do the four compositions have in common ?

A. They are composed in spring.

B. They are musical works of the 1910' s.

C. They are conducted by Jeremy Pound.

D. They are inspired by the British countryside.

B

It seemed like it had only been a few years ago that Indigo, our black Lab （拉布拉多寻回犬）,had first rushed through our door. While time raced by, our children grew up and went off to university. The mirror, which had reflected a young mum when Indigo first arrived, now showed a woman in late middle age. We all turned grey ： me, my husband, the dog. In August 2017, I took Indigo for one last walk. She was slow and shaky on her paws. She died that month, a tennis ball by her side. Not long after, I got a call from our dog daycare. One of their customers was dying, and her dog, Chloe, needed a home. Given our recent loss, they asked, might our family be interested in adopting her? I told them I' d owned a succession of dogs since 1964, each one of them a witness to a particular phase of my life. But with the loss of Indigo, all that was over. The days of my dogs, I now understood, were done at last.

Then one morning, as I was passing the dog daycare, I changed my mind. What harm could Chloe do? She spent hours that first day going to every comer, sniffing things out. Finally she sat down by the fireplace and gave me a look as if to say if you wanted, I would stay with you.

Everything I know about love I've learned from dogs. But everything I know about loss I've learned from them, too. They fill our hearts. And then, in what seems like no time at all, they' re gone.

24.    What do we know about Indigo and the author from paragraph 1 ?

1.     Indigo liked playing tennis ball with her.
2.    Indigo kept her company for many years.
3.    Indigo was the first dog she ever adopted.
4.    Indigo took its last walk hesitantly with her.

25.    Why did the author refuse to adopt Chloe initially?

1.     She was not interested in Chloe.
2.    She was too old to take care of Chloe.
3.    She feared suffering mental loss again.
4.    She already owned a succession of dogs.

26.    How did Chloe probably feel when she first arrived at the author5 s home?

A. Cautious. B. Energetic. C. Scared. D. Easy.

27.    Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Why I adopt dogs B. What I learn from dogs

C. How I get along with dogs D. How dogs keep me company

C

Mammals can produce their own body heat and control their body temperatures. This process is known as warm-bloodedness. Scientists believe that it may be the reason why mammals likely rule almost every ecosystem. W arm - blooded mammals are more active than cold-blooded animals. They can live in different environments, from the frozen arctic to the boiling desert. And they reproduce faster. The soft tissues that would give information about warm-or-cold bloodedness are rarely preserved in fossils （化 石）. So, paleontologists, or experts in the study of fossils, do not know exactly how mammals developed and changed into warm - blooded creatures.

A group of scientists tried to answer that question in a study recently published in Nature. Ricardo Araujo is a paleontologist at the University of Lisbon. Araujo and a group of researchers proposed that the shape and size of the inner ear structures called canals could be used to study body temperature. The researchers compared ear canals in 341 animals. The movement of fluid （流体）through the ear canals helps the body to preserve balance and movement. This fluid in cold - blooded animals is cooler and thicker, meaning wider canals are needed. W arm - blooded animals have less ear fluid and smaller canals.

Araujo said, u Warm - bloodedness, or endothermy is a defining feature of mammals, including us humans. Having a high body temperature regulates all our actions and behaviors. " The research team suggested that as body temperature increased and the animals became more active, the shape and size of ear canals changed to preserve balance and movement. "It is maybe too far-fetched, but interesting, to think that the beginning of endothermy in our ancestors may have ultimately led to the construction of the Giza pyramids or the development of the smartphone,“ Araujo said. " If our ancestors would have not become independent of environmental temperatures, these human achievements would probably not be possible. ”

28.    What is the purpose of Araujo5 s study?

1.    To publish the study reports in Nature.
2.   To highlight the importance of warm-bloodedness.
3.   To prove mammal5 s ruling position in the ecosystem.
4.    To explore how mammals developed warm-bloodedness.

29.    What can we infer from Araujo’s research ?

1.    Cold-blooded animals have less ear fluid.
2.   The inner ear structures are typical of mammals.
3.   Warm-bloodedness distinguishes mammals from other animals.
4.    Environmental temperatures probably determine human achievements.

30.    What does the underlined word “far-fetched” probably mean in paragraph 3?

A. Distant.     B. Boring. C. Incredible. D. Reasonable.

31.    In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Health.    B. Science. C. Education. D. Entertainment.

D

Chinese scientists say they have developed a robotic fish that can remove microplastic particles （颗粒）from water environments. Researchers working on the project say the robots could help to clean up plastic pollution in oceans around the world. The robotic swimmers are about 1. 3 centimeters long. They are made of a soft chemical compound. The robots are designed to absorb microplastics while moving through the water.

The project was launched by a team at Sichuan University in southwestern China. The researchers said the robots have already performed well in shallow water and they plan to carry out more tests in deeper waters. The robotic fish were built to target microplastic particles, which are smaller than five millimeters. Studies have confirmed that microplastic pollution has been discovered in many natural environments. The material comes from the breakdown of plastic products and industrial waste.

The team said the robots can be controlled by light. Turning “a near-infrared light laser （近红外线 激光器）" on and off causes the fish' s tail to move back and forth, the American Chemical Society said. The robotic fish can swim up to 2. 76 body lengths per second. The researchers said this is faster than most similar soft robots.

Wang Yuyan was a member of Sichuan University' s research team. She told Reuters news agency that the small, lightweight robot is currently being used to collect microplastics for research purposes. But Wang added that the team plans to expand that use so the robot fish can remove larger amounts of microplastic waste from deep ocean areas. The fish can take in different kinds of microplastics and even repair itself when damaged, the researchers said. And if a robot fish is accidentally eaten by a real fish, it could safely digest the material, the team added. Wang said similar robots could be developed to be placed inside the human body to remove unwanted materials or disease.

32.    What's the robotic fish designed to do?

A. Identify the polluted sources of oceans. 

B. Monitor the process of plastic production.

C. Tackle microplastics in water environments. 

D. Prevent industrial waste entering oceans.

33.    What do we know about the robotic fish at present?

A. It' s still under test. B. It' s already used widely.

C. It performs well everywhere. D. It sells well worldwide.

34.    Which of the following is the advantage of the robotic fish?

A. It can serve as food for fish. B. It can swim faster than fish.

C. It is fairly easy to break down. D. It is straightforward to operate.

35.    What's the potential use of the robots of this kind according to Wang Yuyan?

A. Help to treat humans' diseases. B. Removing larger plastic products.

C. Recycling microplastic particles. D. Absorbing plastics in the human body.

How to Read the Newspaper Quickly and Efficiently

You want to stay informed about the world but you have such a busy life. 36 Here are tips for reading the newspaper in the fastest, most efficient way possible ：

Scan the headlines

37 Generally speaking, the headline presents the theme of the story so you can skip over some stories and read others. Remember that some stories will directly affect you while others may not. Use your best judgment in determining which stories you want to read based on their headlines.

38

Basically, a newspaper article presents the most crucial information early on and gradually reveals less and less significant details. In other words, you can read the first one to five paragraphs or so and really already know the meat of the story.

Read the photo captions

If you' re really in a hurry but you want a little bit more information than what the headline provides, skip the story and go straight to the photo caption （说明）. Photo captions often serve as an intermediate between the headline and the actual story. 39 Keep in mind, though, that not all photo captions are created equal. While some may give you a summary of the story behind the photograph, others are much more unclear.

Look at the graphics

Search for bar graphs （图表），pie charts, and other visuals that show you what you need to know by the numbers in a flash. Often you don' t even have to hunt; the graphics are noticeably displayed and perhaps even in color. Graphics alone rarely, if ever, provide much deep insight into a story. 40

1.     Read the first three paragraphs
2.    Grasp the most crucial information first
3.    They give you some detail but not everything.
4.    Headlines usually declare what the story' s about upfront.
5.    The most important details are usually included in headlines.
6.   However, they do give you a brief introduction to what makes a certain story so attractive.
7. Actually, that doesn't mean you can' t take a few minutes to learn about what' s happening worldwide.

Raj learns a lesson

Raj is a middle-aged man. Although he was born in a poor family, he was raised well by his father and mother. His father owned a welding （焊接）shop, and used to work for more than 12 hours a day, so that his family could lead a comfortable life.

However, Raj' s father could not earn sufficient money to provide a decent life to his family. Raj was an average student in school, and used to score around 70 percent marks. Raj's dream was to become a doctor. Since his marks weren’t very high, he could not get the desired course that he wanted to study. Instead, he joined a bachelor' s degree course, completed the course successfully, and got a job in a company.

In order not to depend on Raj, his father continued to work in his shop. After getting a permanent job, Raj' s parents wanted him to marry. He got married to a girl from his native town, and meanwhile was promoted in his job. After a few years, his wife gave birth to beautiful twin boys.

Later, Raj began to earn a handsome salary, and started to live luxuriously. He bought a new house and a new car. Some of the luxuries were really unnecessary. Almost 6 to 7 years later, Raj was neither able to manage all the household expenses, nor pay for the children ' s education and other basic necessities.

It so happened that Raj’s father fell sick, and as a result, could not continue his work. He requested Raj to give some money for his treatment and other household expenses. Raj, who was already suffering from financial crisis, not only shouted at his parents but also complained to his parents, “You never give me what I needed and wanted and it took me more than 10 years to get settled. Now, while I am again struggling for money, you are not doing anything to help me, but instead are a burden to me! So, please don' t come to me again. ”

His parents were left shocked.

第二节（满分25分）

After a week, while on an official tour, he met a small boy aged about 10 years selling toys. The boy requested Raj to buy something. Raj asked the boy why he was selling toys instead of studying. The boy replied, “ My father met with an accident a year ago and he lost one hand. He cannot work now. My mother works as a maid in a few houses. I have no choice but to help my parents by selling these toys. I go to school in the morning, and sell toys in the evenings. I work for 3 hours a day and study at night!”

Raj purchased a few toys from the little boy. He thought about what the boy had said. He realized that he had been wrong in the way he treated his parents. He had learnt a lesson from the small boy. At a very small age, this boy was helping his parents, but Raj, in order to meet the demands of his luxurious lifestyle, had ignored his parents. Raj decided to make an apology to them the moment he got back home.
