A couple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China—riding their bikes the entire way. Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed(横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.
Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30milesaday was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead chose to book a cabin(舱) inside a 400 m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.
“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable,” Peter said.
Peter and Chris initially(最初) set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017, but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.
Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.”
24. What's the couple's purpose of taking the long journey?
A. To try something new.

C. To go across 16 countries by bike.
D. To celebrate their 37-year marriage.

26. Why did the couple put off their trip in 2017?
A. Peter had an accident. B. They ran out of their money.
C. They met with a heavy snow. D. Peter fell ill suddenly in Hungary.
27. What’s the best part of the trip for the couple?
A. The beautiful scenes. B. The help from others.
C. The delicious food and drink. D. The kindness from other cyclists.

It’s still there, the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go. Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.
Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. Nothing could stop my determined mother to have us learn the language of our culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.
Although the school mainly taught language, the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tapa bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, “How are you, teacher?”
The language always made me embarrassed. More often than not, I have tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman whose Vietnamese was quick, loud, but not beautiful. I did not want to be seen speaking Vietnamese with her and thought of as talking stupid.
When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poor English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.
After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school. I thought of myself as American. At last, I thought I was one of you; I wasn't one of them.
Sadly, I am only an American.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The author's brother helped mother with her English.
B. The author's mother taught him English at home.
C. The author didn't like learning Vietnamese when he was young.
D. The author's mother put her sons in a language school in Vietnam.
29. Why did the author want to learn English?
A. The author would get recognized when speaking English.
B. The author's brother is strict about speaking English.
C. It was the wish of the author's mother.
D. The author's nationality is American.
30. What might be the author's feeling now?
A. scared B. peaceful C. satisfied D. regretful
31. What message does the author want to convey(表达) through the passage?
A. It is difficult to adapt to a new environment.
B. It is important to appreciate your own culture.
C. It is important to remember your childhood.
D. It is difficult to learn a foreign language.

Have you ever wondered if you see the same colours as other people? Most people know what blue is when they see it. They call it “blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else’s red?
The ability to perceive(感知) different colours is up to receptors(接受器) in our eyes. Light wave shit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving.
Some people's receptors are more developed than others. The inablity of the receptor to feel the light waves correctly means that some people cannot tell the differences between similar colours. Those with more developed receptors can see more colours. We sometimes hear people having an argument about whether something is dark blue or black. It might be because one person has stronger receptors to feel the light than another.
In the past, most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. This enabled them to see more colours than usual. Normally monkeys can only see blue and green, but the change allowed them to see red. Their brains automatically got used to new colours. This suggests that our brains may find new colors of the things we see. Colours could be a very personal experience, unique to everyone.
So, the next time you talk about your favourite colour, just remember if yours is blue and your friend says red, you two might actually be thinking about the same colour. What if everyone in the world has the same favourite colour, but just calls it different names?
32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How we perceive colours.
B. The inability to see colours.
C. What the brain does with signals.
D. The connection between receptors and light waves.
33. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Some people cannot feel colours with their developed receptors.
B. The more light people feel, the weaker receptors they have.
C. People with poor receptors usually have colour weakness.
D. People who have strong receptors can see darkblue.
34. What's the purpose of conducting the research on monkeys?
A. To test the monkeys with colours.
B. To develop the receptors of humans.
C. To enable monkeys to find more colors.
D. To prove everyone sees colours in a different way.
35. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A film review. B. A science magazine. C. An art journal. D. A science fiction
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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选项。
You may have been told that the amount of sleep that you need decreases as you get older, but this is not the case. All adults require eight hours of sleep per night, but changes in our sleep patterns as we age mean that this maybe more difficult for the elderly. 36 Instead we sleep more lightly than when we were younger, meaning that we are more likely to feel more tired during the day.
As we get older, our sleep can be affected by changes in our bodies. Sleeping patterns among the elderly can be affected by medical conditions that include depression and heart failure. Medications used can also have an influence on our sleep quality as we get older. In turn, it works the other way round. 37 Sleep shortage among the elderly can not only increase the risk of injuries caused by tiredness, but a continued lack of sleep can also lead to an increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. 38
Many elderly people suffer from the combination of “lighter” sleep at night because of health conditions, changes in bodies and getting up during the night to drink or to use the bathroom. 39 While this ensures that enough sleeping hours are obtained, it will also mean that there is no real routine to stick to, making it harder to get back to normal sleeping patterns.
40 Ensuring that the bedroom is a relaxing place, getting regular exercise when possible and avoiding too much artificial light at night may help-along with limiting coffee, alcohol, large meals and spicy food before bed.
A. Too little sleep can cause health problems.
B. They will choose to catch upon sleep during the day.
C. We don't really adapt to getting less sleep than we need.
D. As we age, we find it harder to sleep at the “normal time”.
E. Healthy sleeping habits can help you sleep better and longer.
F. It can also cause mental changes, which can have a bad influence on health.
G. There are plenty of ways in which the elderly can improve sleeping patterns.

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。
During this past year, I've had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn't bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK(千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw(锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big logon the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.



After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人眼分辨颜色背后的科学。
【详情解析】
32.【A】主旨大意题。根据第二段“The ability to perceive(感知) different colours is up to receptors(接受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is sending signals to the brain. The brain then reads these signals to determine which colour light the eyes are receiving（感知不同颜色的能力取决于我们眼睛里的感受器。光波击中这些感受器，感受器根据光的颜色做出反应，向大脑发送信号。然后大脑读取这些信号，以确定眼睛接收到的是哪种颜色的光）可知本段主要讲我们如何感知不同的颜色。故选A。
33.【C】推理判断题。根据第三段"Those with more developed receptors can see more colours.接受器更发达的人能看到更多的颜色）可知，接受器发达的人能看见更多的颜色，由此可推知接受器不发达的人看到的颜色少，可能存在辨别色彩的障碍。故选C。
34.【D】推理判断题。根据第四段“In the past most scientists would argue that everyone saw colours in the same way.（在过去，大多数科学家会认为每个人看到颜色的方式都是一样的）及后面的转折“However, research was conducted on monkeys, in which their receptors were changed. This enabled them to see more colours than usual. Normally monkeys can only see blue and green, but the change allowed them to see red.（然而，在猴子身上进行的研究发现，它们的接受器发生了变化。这使他们能比平时看到更多的颜色。通常猴子只能看到蓝色和绿色，但这种变化让它们看到了红色）“可知，前后意思是相反的，即: 对猴子进行研究的目的是证明每个人看颜色的方式不一样。故选D。
35.【B】推理判断题。本文第一段以一个例子发问引出接下来文章要讨论的主题，故第二段首句“The ability to perceive (感知) different colours is up to receptors (接受器) in our eyes.（感知不同颜色的能力取决于我们眼睛里的感受器）“是本文主题，主要讲感知色彩和眼中接收器的关系，故本篇文章可能出现在科普杂志上。故选B。

【详情解析】
36.【D】上文“You may have been told that the amount of sleep that you need decreases as you get older, but this is not the case. All adults require eight hours of sleep per night, but changes in our sleep patterns as we age mean that this maybe more difficult for the elderly.（你可能被告知，随着年龄的增长，你所需要的睡眠时间会减少，但事实并非如此。所有成年人每晚都需要8小时的睡眠，但随着年龄的增长，我们睡眠模式的变化意味着这对老年人来说可能更加困难。）在讲述随着年龄的增长，并非所需的睡眠时间减少， 而是睡眠模式的变化导致睡眠的减少， 尤其对老年人来说更加明显；下文“Instead we sleep more lightly than when we were younger，meaning that we are more likely to feel more tired during the day.（相反，我们比年轻时睡得更少，这意味着我们白天更容易感到疲劳。）”在讲述睡眠少所导致的结果；选项D“As we age, we find it harder to sleep at the “normal time”（随着年龄的增长，我们发现在“正常时间”很难入睡。）在讲述随着年龄增长，正常时间难以入睡，承接了上文所述的随着年龄增长，睡眠模式的变化导致睡眠减少，解释了为什么对老年人来说更加明显，即在“正常时间”难以入睡，引出了下文对于睡眠少而导致的结果的叙述，故选项D符合语境；故选D项。
37.【A】下文“Sleep shortage among the elderly can not only increase the risk of injuries caused by tiredness, but a continued lack of sleep can a so lead to an increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.（老年人睡眠不足不仅会增加因疲劳而受伤的风险，而且持续缺乏睡眠还会增加患高血压和心脏病的风险。）“在具体描述老年人缺少睡眠的风险: 选项A “Too little sleep can cause health problems.（睡眠不足会导致健康问题）”在概括睡眠不足会导致健康问题这样一个观点，与下文所述主旨一致，下文是对空处内容的具体说明，故选项A符合语境；故选A项。
38.【F】上文“Sleep shortage among the elderly can not only increase the risk of injuries caused by tiredness, but a continued lack of sleep can also lead to an increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.（老年人睡眠不足不仅会增加因疲劳而受伤的风险，而且持续缺乏睡眠还会增加患高血压和心脏病的风险。）“在描述老年人缺少睡眠对身体上的不良影响；选项F “It can a so cause mental changes, which can have a bad influence on health.（它还会引起心理变化，这对健康有不好的影响。）”表述的是对心理上的不健康影响，与上文表述内容是并列关系，都是对睡眠不足而造成的不健康影响的具体阐述，故选项F符合语境；故选F项。
39.【B】上文“Many elderly people suffer from the combination of“lighter”sleep at night because of health conditions, changes in bodies and getting up during the night to drink or to use the bathroom.（许多老年人由于健康状况、身体变化以及夜间起床喝水或上厕所而遗受“浅睡眠”的困扰。）“在讲述老年人因种种原因而导致夜间睡眠浅的现象；下文“While this ensures that enough sleeping hours are obtained, it will also mean that there is no real routine to stick to, making it harder to get back to normal sleeping patterns.（虽然这样可以确保获得足够的睡眠时间，但这也意味着没有真正的规律可以遵守，使得恢复正常的睡眠模式变得更加困难。）”可知在讲述某种方式可以确保有足够的睡眠，但是让恢复正常的睡眠模式变得更加困难；选项B“They will choose to catch upon sleep during the day.（他们会选择白天补觉。）”可知承接了上文所述的老年人睡眠浅的内容，表明了通常遇到这种现象人们所做的相应对策，同时引出下文对于这种方式弊端的描述，故选项B符合语境；故选B项。
40.【G】根据下文“Ensuring that the bedroom is a relaxing place, getting regular exercise when possible and avoiding too much artificial light at night may help-along with limiting coffee, alcohol, large meals and spicy food before bed.（确保卧室是一个放松的地方，尽可能经常锻炼，晚上避免太多的人造光，以及睡前少喝咖啡、酒精、大餐和辛辣食物，这些都会有帮助。）”可知，本段主要在讲述对睡眠有帮助的一些方式: 选项G There are plenty of ways in which the elderly can improve sleeping patterns.（有很多方法可以改善老年人的睡眠模式。）可知提出了有许多方法可以改善老年人的睡眠模式，与下文所述主旨相符，是本段的主旨句，引出下文对于这些具体方法的阐述，故选项G符合语境；故选G项。

第二节（满分25分）
Possible version 1:
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I'd had lunch. I shook my head and said no, wondering why she asked such a question—was she going to treat me to lunch or something? “Wait a minute,” said the girl, and then she went back to the truck. After a few minutes she came back with a paper bag. “Here are some Mexican snacks and you can have some when you are hungry,” the girl smiled. I was so surprised and touched that words almost failed me. I just said a“WOW!” instead of a “Thank you!” when I took the bag.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. When I saw what was in the bag, I was overcome with a mixture of respect and gratefulness. In addition to the snacks, there was the $20 bill. What a kind and respectable family! They are a perfect example of what kindness really means. And I'm sure I will pay it forward.（145）
当我正要说别时，女孩问我是否吃过午饭。我摇摇头，说不，不知道她为什么会问这样一个问题——她会请我吃午饭或者什么吗?“等一下，”女孩说，然后她回到卡车上。几分钟后，她带着一个纸袋回来了。“这里有一些墨西哥小吃，你饿的时候可以吃一些，”女孩笑着说。我是如此惊讶，如此感动以至于都说不出话。当我拿起包的时候，只发出一声“哇! ”而不是说“谢谢你!”。
他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开了纸袋。当我看到包里有什么东西时，我内心充满了尊重和感激。除了这些零食，还有那张$20的钞票。一个多么善良、值得尊敬的家庭啊!他们是最好的榜样体现了善良的真正含义。我相信我会让爱传递下去的。
Possible version 2:
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. Of course not, for I had been trapped there for quite a few hours. She then had a word with her parents and went back to their truck. A few minutes later she came back with a paper bag. “That’s Mommy's hand-made taco,” explained the girl. “It's so yummy that you must love it” I was starving to death after all that exhausting work so I took the Mexico-originated food, grateful and deeply moved. Then we waved goodbye to each other.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. Inside the bag was a chicken taco. The next few minutes saw my wolfing down the delicious food. Tear swelled up as I was chewing. It was awesome to know that while many people tend to ignore those in need, there are some kind-hearted ones who go out of their way to lend a hand. The good deed the foreign family did will never escape me. I am going to pass it down to create a much friendlier world.（163）
当我正要说别时，女孩问我是否吃过午饭。当然不是，因为我已经被困在那里好几个小时了。然后她和父母说了句话，回到了他们的卡车上。几分钟后，她带着一个纸袋回来了。“那是妈妈手工做的墨西哥玉米卷，”女孩解释说。“这太美味了，你一定喜欢它。“在干了那么累的工作之后，我饿死了，所以我吃了墨西哥风味的食物，感激和感动。然后我们互相挥手道别。
他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开了纸袋。袋子里有一个鸡肉玉米饼。接下来的几分钟，我狼吞虎咽地吃了美味的食物。当我在咀嚼时、眼泪涌了起来。虽然很多人倾向于忽视那些有需要的人，但有些善良的人会特意伸出援手，这真是太棒了。我永远忘不了这个外国家庭所做的好事。我要把它传下来，创造一个更友好的世界。
