Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分 25 分） Paragraph 1: But Cathy soon realized that these were real $100 bills. Whoever had owned the book had chosen to hide $ 4,000 inside the book. Cathy蒺s second thought upon see鄄 ing the money was that this was sufficient to do charity. She didn蒺t bother considering keeping the money herself. It just didn蒺t feel right to keep it for any reason. Regardless of how much good she thought she might be able to do with the money, Catchy decided that the only realistic choice left to her was to return it to its owner. Paragraph 2: Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner. Using this name, Cathy might be able to find its rightful owner. Still, it would take a little digging. Thankfully, the book蒺s previous owner happened to have a pretty unusual last name. This made Cathy蒺s Internet search much easier. After only about ten minutes online, Cathy found them. The money belonged to a man and his daugh鄄 ter. So thankful were they for Cathy蒺s honesty that they ac鄄 tually ended up donating a generous amount to VNSA to show their gratitude.

B Almost all calligraphy （ 书 法 ） lovers agree that writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But this era Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers Unit 3单元测试卷 23 高中英语选择性必修 第二册 （外研版） 精编版 and mobile phones. A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400鄄 character handwritten résumé. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experienced “ charac鄄 ter amnesia （ 记 忆 缺 失 ）” , with 94 percent saying that this was a problem for them. The main reason is that most Chinese re鄄 ly too much on the pinyin鄄based Chinese lan鄄 guage input method, which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke （笔画 ） by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of cha鄄 racters with the same pronunciation in Chinese. Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few educators use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft蒺s Po鄄 werPoint, the most鄄often used software to teach knowledge to students. The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and cha鄄 racters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Stu鄄 dents pay more attention to remembering a character蒺s pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e鄄dictionaries rarely provide. Another worry is the “ pollution ” of Chi鄄 nese characters by the Internet language. Young people regard using the Internet language as cool and fashionable. They think these expre鄄 ssions are accessible. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing. 24. What does the author show with the ex鄄 ample of a college graduate? A. Why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger. B. Why certain people are poor writers. C. That there are differences in students蒺 writing. D. That practicing can improve writing. 25. By saying “ ...those interviewed often expe鄄 rienced ‘ character amnesia （记忆缺失）’” , the writer means those interviewed . A. are not good at handwriting B. show no interest in handwriting C. can蒺t write characters accurately D. find jobs much more difficultly 26. What phenomenon is described in Para鄄 graph 5? A. Advantages of electronic dictionaries. B. Dependence on electronic devices. C. Mastery of knowledge of the characters. D. Disadvantages of published dictionaries. 27. What蒺s the writer蒺s attitude towards the In鄄 ternet language? A. Favorable. B. Uncaring. C. Friendly. D. Disapproving. 24 C What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegeta鄄 bles. But is British food really so uninterest鄄 ing? Even though Britain has a reputation for less鄄than鄄impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It蒺s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turn鄄 ing away from meat鄄and鄄two鄄veg and ready鄄 made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a tradi鄄 tional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain蒺s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and col鄄 leges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cook鄄 ery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients （配料） than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK蒺s obsession （痴 迷 ） with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than be鄄 fore. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it蒺s no longer “ uncool ” for boys to like cooking. 28. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 30. Which is the percentage of the people us鄄 ing more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. D In the distant past, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational （导航 的 ） systems to help us find our way, the latest of which is the Beidou Navigation Satellite System （ BDS ） . The BDS is entirely built by Chinese Unit 3单元测试卷 25 高中英语选择性必修 第二册 （外研版） 精编版 engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou start鄄 ed providing services covering our whole plan鄄 et. It蒺s difficult to imagine the great influ鄄 ence those satellites have on our daily lives. When you unlock one of the shared bicycles, you are using the BDS. “ The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center which will help collect big data on the bikes and predict users蒺 riding needs in advance according to the data, ” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike mentioned. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately thanks to Bei鄄 dou蒺s global positioning accuracy of 2.34 me鄄 ters. Beidou adopts a unique two鄄way commu鄄 nication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously this func鄄 tion isn蒺t designed for users to chat online. In鄄 stead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked. After the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, all ground鄄based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue （ 救 援 ） centers was successful. Now, Beidou蒺s mes鄄 saging ability has been increased to 1,200 Chi鄄 nese characters in a single message. It is wide鄄 ly used in disaster alarms, automatic identifi鄄 cation and information release. As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said, “ The application （应用 ） of Beidou is only limited by imagination. ” 32. What can we learn about the BDS from the passage? A. It was developed by Chinese and Ame鄄 rican engineers. B. It works better on clear nights. C. It蒺s able to provide global coverage for navigation. D. Its last satellite was launched on July 31. 33. Why does the author mention the shared bicycles in Paragraph 3? A. To show how the BDS makes people蒺s daily lives easier. B. To stress the excellent positioning abi鄄 lity of the BDS. C. To present the advantages and disad鄄 vantages of the BDS. D. To explain how the BDS works. 34. What is Beidou蒺s two鄄way communication system designed for? A. To make users蒺 daily communication more fun. B. To help people when communication signals are poor. C. To allow users to chat online more freely. D. To collect data from users for the data center. 35. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? 26 A. Beidou inspires users蒺 imagination. B. Beidou may be more helpful than we know. C. Beidou needs to be further improved. D. Beidou is limited in application. 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。 In higher education, 21st鄄century librari鄄 ans are seeing their roles changing.

Retired schoolteacher Cathy McAllister has been a member of such an organization, VNSA, since 2012. Her duties in this regard involve working throughout the year to help prepare the books for their February sale and acting as personnel chair for the sale itself. This means that she helps coordinate （协调 ） all the other volunteers that help out before, during, and after the event. It was before the 2019 book sale and Cathy once again found herself sitting among a towering pile of books and sorting through them to ensure that they would be in good enough condition to resell. As she was sorting, she came upon a book. The slightly broken book was in fair condition but it was one of four copies she had already found, and she had saved three of those already. The others had been much more gently used as well. Though she didn蒺t like doing it, she had done this long enough to know that the only remaining choice was to throw it into the pile for repurposing. A greedy book lover herself, Cathy felt guilty about throwing away a perfectly good book. Before she threw it away, she decided to check for more serious damage inside that might justify her giving it up. She opened the cover and moved to fan through the pages when she noticed something unusual. When she opened the cover, Cathy was surprised to see that a part had been hollowed out inside the book. It looked as though someone had taken an X鄄Acto knife and rather expertly hollowed out a significant space. What蒺s more, the book蒺s previous owner had chosen to hide something in that space. She looked down and saw that someone had hidden four packages in the space, each containing ten $100 bills. Cathy蒺s first thought was that the bills were toy money that perhaps a kid had hidden inside as part of some childish game or something. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: But Cathy soon realized that these were real $100 bills. 30 Paragraph 2: Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner.
