There are many travel apps out there, but these four apps can better help every traveler to sort through thousands of reviews. Try them out on your next adventure:
Gogobot
Gogobot recently launched a complete redesign, making the app more visual and easy to use for trip planning and organization. Recommendations include lodging, dining and entertainment.
Gogobot groups travelers by “Tribes” in order to recommend restaurants and activities. The idea behind Tribes is to provide information based on what people with similar travel styles have enjoyed. If you often travel with your family, Gogobot will recommend kid-friendly experiences.
Locish
When going through millions of online reviews, Locish makes looking for a needle in the haystack simple like a walk in the park. When you first sign on, the app asks you a few questions about your preferences. The app also lets you ask a question of other users nearby: If you’re traveling in England, you can ask, “Where’s a great bar with classic beers?” and locals can offer suggestions in real time.
Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List
Condé Nast Traveler has a new travel app collecting all of the hotels, resorts, cruises and restaurants recommended in issues of the magazine, organizing them based on destination. In addition to providing a guide to all of the posh properties(豪宅),Gold List includes recommendations from VITs, or Very Important Travelers.
JetPac City Guides
JetPac City Guides is an app built on top of Instagram, analyzing millions of photos to reveal more about the locations where they are taken. The app was first launched in December of last year, with version two — which includes improved search - released last month.

The new member to the UAE's astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.
Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 4000 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation’s 9.8 million citizens into space.
The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.
“They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon,” says the 28-year-old, who represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National Petroleum Construction Company.
AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.
“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineer was highlighted,” she say.
Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.
AlMatrooshi’s fellow trainee astronaut, UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says astronaut training has been “a big career change”.
“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence,” says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything—suddenly I’m changing my path.”
“I’m a big fan of SpaceX. The rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually.”
4. What preparation have they made before the training program?
A. They have grasped their native language. B. They have had cruel survival training.
C. They have learned to deal with the press. D. They have done some weightlessness training.
5. Which is the major factor for AlMatrooshi to be a member of the training program?
A. She got help from her academic parents.
B. She has had a big dream since her childhood.
C. She has experience in big construction projects.
D. She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.
6 What does the underlined part “I'm changing my path” refer to?
A. I’ll be a master of life. B. I’m an enthusiast for SpaceX.
C. I’m settling my new problem. D. I’m starting a new life from scratch.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The fans of Space X B. Dream and achievements
C. Passion and preparations D. Future astronaut training program
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.( 随着他们得到潜水执照,学会俄语,为他们的许多媒体采访提供指导,两人都期待着在他们之前已经开始的为期30个月的艰苦计划,)”可知,他们已经学会了与媒体打交道,故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段的“Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.(在沙漠中领导的大型建筑项目帮助两位学者的女儿——博士父亲和英语教师母亲——为月球建设做好了准备)”可知,在她的父母领导的大型建筑项目中,她为进行月球建设做好了准备,因此她有在大型建筑项目方面的经验是她成为培训计划的成员的主要因素。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence(我花了15年获得飞行员资格,包括在澳大利亚接受我的商业飞行员执照的培训)”“As a pilot you get used to mastering everything(作为一名飞行员,你会习惯于掌握一切)”可知,这个人原来是做飞行员的,而且是做商业航班的飞行员,即他是在航空公司为航班开飞机的,可是现在他要转行做宇航员,所以做宇航员对他来说是一个全新的转变,也就是他从一个什么都知道的飞行员转变成了什么都不知道的生手,所以划线句指的是对他来说,宇航员这个职业是从头开始。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The new member to the UAE's astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.(阿联酋宇航员训练计划的新成员,首位女阿联酋宇航员,希望她的机械工程学位能成为她登上月球的门票)”以及下文内容可知,文章介绍了怀揣登天梦的Nora Almatrooshi和她的同伴通过自己的努力最终进入宇航员训练计划的故事,C项“passion and preparations(激情和准备)”为最佳标题。故选C。

Every year on April 22,Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.It gave a voice to an emerging public consciousness about the state of our planet.The founder was Gaylord Nelson.
What moved Gaylord Nelson to action was the1969massive oil spill(溢出)in California,the largest oil spill in the United States at that time.The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a strong impact on marine life,killing an estimated3,500sea birds,as well as marine animals such as dolphins,elephant seals and sea lions.Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time,Nelson found it was a right time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection.He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment.Thus,Earth Day was born in1970,and public environmental consciousness took centre stage.
On 22nd April 1970,millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a healthy,sustainable environment and thousands of students marched in protest of the terrible situation of the environment.Businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.The year1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more countries around the world.It helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro,bringing together many nations,for a joint effort towards protecting the environment.In 2009,the United Nations decided to officially set April 22 as Earth Day.
For his role as founder of Earth Day,Gaylord Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1995),the highest honour given to civilians in the United States.We honor the man,as the fight for a cleaner environment continues.

A. It was founded at the end of 1970s.
B. It was first celebrated in Rio de Janeiro.
C. People will march on the street on this day.
D. It arouses public environmental awareness.
9. What did Gaylord Nelson do to make Earth Day possible?

When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.
Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and his team modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades — enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emissions savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a decade.
The results are in the Transportation Research Record.
As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers or carbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement-based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you’re talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways — those agencies are where the rubber meets the road.
12. Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To make a contrast.
C. To explain a rule. D. To share an experience.
13. What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions?
A. Hardening the road. B. Keeping oil in the ground.
C. Growing trees for decades. D. Improving the transportation.
14. What is the advantage of this suggestion?
A. Gaining more support. B. Consuming less money.
C. Involving more people. D. Facing fewer usual obstacles.
15. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?
A. Those agencies are likely to make more rules.
B. Those agencies will change some related policies.
C. Those agencies might put more rubber tires on the roads.
D. Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了麻省理工学院的可持续性科学家杰里米·格雷戈里和他的团队利用“在不够坚硬的路面上行走会消耗更多的能量”这一规律发现通过简单地硬化路面就可以避免温室气体的排放。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.”(事实证明,在公路上行驶的车辆也是如此。车辆的重量在路面上造成了很浅的凹陷,久而久之,这会让汽车行驶越来越费力)以及第二段“Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and his team modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways.”(麻省理工学院的可持续性科学家杰里米·格雷戈里和他的团队建立了一个模型,看看通过简单的硬化可以节省多少能源,最后发现通过简单地加固国家的道路和高速公路就可以避免温室气体的排放)可知,第一段提到“当你在沙滩上行走时,比在人行道上大步行走要消耗更多的能量”就是为了解释一个规则(规律)——在不够坚硬的路面上行走或行驶会消耗更多的能量或能源,故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways.”(通过简单地加固国家的公路和高速公路可以避免温室气体的排放)可知,作者建议通过硬化路面来避免温室气体的排放,故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles.”(这个系统也可以是一种减少碳排放的方法,没有一些通常的障碍)可知,这个建议的好处是面对更少的常见障碍,故选D。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。最后一段“thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies”和“And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways”提到了“成千上万在运输部门工作的人”和“翻新道路和高速公路”,此处承接上文,是说这些道路维护部门对“通过硬化路面来避免温室气体的排放面”这一计划所起的作用,即:这些部门将在实现这一目标方面发挥关键作用,故选D。
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 Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You
These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. ____16____
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress
Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning. In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate. ____17____
Step 2: Own Your Stress
The next step is to welcome, or “own” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. ____18____ Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: “I’m stressed about…because I deeply care about…”
Step 3: Use Your Stress
Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.
Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? ____19____
There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control. ____20____ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time.
A. Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.
B. You can release stress from the past and more with emotional focus techniques.
C. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.
D. But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear.
E. Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.
F. But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis.
G. This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在压力大的时期如何有效利用压力来提升健康和幸福感的策略。
【16题详解】
根据上一句“Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact.”(十多年的研究表明,决定压力影响的不是压力的类型或数量。)可知,空格处应该表达的是与压力的类型或数量无关的决定压力影响的因素,E选项“Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.”(相反,最重要的是我们对压力的心态。)符合上下文语境。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上一句“In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate.”(换句话说,当我们花一点时间来承认我们的压力时,它会让我们从一个恐惧、反应性的地方转移到一个我们可以深思熟虑和果断的位置。)可知,空格处应该表达的是承认压力的好处,G 选项“This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.”(这一步也是一个了解你个人压力或焦虑的核心是什么的机会。)符合上下文语境,“This step”指代上文中的“take a moment to acknowledge our stress”。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上一句“We only stress about things that we care about.”(我们只对我们关心的事情感到压力。)可知,空格处应该表达的是与关心的事情相关的内容,C 选项“By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.”(通过拥有我们的压力,我们与压力背后的积极动机或个人价值联系起来。)符合上下文语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上一句“Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress?”(问问自己:你典型的反应是否与你压力背后的价值观相一致?)可知,空格处应该表达的是与反应和压力相关的内容,A 选项“Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.”(想想你可以如何改变你对这种压力的反应,以更好地促进你的目标和目的。)符合上下文语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上一句“There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control.”(现在发生了太多我们无法控制的事情。)与下文“ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time.”(一些心理学家认为,真正的变革只会在压力或危机中发生。诀窍是将你的冠状病毒压力转化为能量,以充分利用这段时间。)可知,虽然有很多无法控制的事情发生,但是充分利用这段时间,把压力作为能量,能够产生真正的变革性改变;D 选项“But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear.”(但是,正如许多人注意到的那样,在恐惧中也有前所未有的机会。)与上文构成转折关系,说明虽然很多无法控制的事情让我们产生恐惧,但这种压力与恐惧中也存在着机会,符合上下文语境。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
When I was young, my mother was going to Florida to visit my grandmother. I begged her to take me with her. “I’ll take you, but remember,” my mother warned me, “Grandma is sick.“ I had seen plenty of sick people before, so I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal. Besides, by the time we got to Florida, my grandma would probably be okay. Then we would have fun just as we used to. I remembered how excited I had felt the summer before when my grandma carried me on her shoulders down the streets.
Grandma was a great storyteller and her stories made me feel special whenever she told them. ”Grandma, tell me a story,“ I’d say, and she would always begin the story, “Once upon a time there was a boy named Billy…” Every story started with a boy named after me. When I arrived at her house, my first words were going to be, “Grandma, tell me a story.”
When I got to Grandma’s house, she didn’t come out to meet me. Even after I ran up the steps, she still didn’t come out to meet me. I went into her bedroom. Instantly, I was seized by terror and disgust, because what I saw in that room wasn’t my happy-go-lucky(无忧无虑的)grandmother. It was a crumpled(皱的)body, thin and weak.
That night as I lay in bed, I heard my grandma moaning in pain. It had the same effect on me as someone running fingernails across the blackboard. It was so annoying that I just wanted to tell her to stop. However, I didn’t and it continued all night.
A few weeks after we came home, my mother asked me whether it was all right if Grandma came to live with us. I said yes, but in reality I never wanted to see her again. Although my grandma lived with us for the next few months, I never went into her room. She couldn’t get out of bed. I didn’t have to see her.
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。
One day, my grandma called me as I walked by her room. I didn’t want to go.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was about to run out of the room and leave the scene behind forever when she began to tell a story.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day, my grandma called me as I walked by her room. I didn’t want to go. But she called me several times, so I had to go in. The moment I entered the room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine mixed with other smells. My bony grandmother lay in bed, her cheekbones high, her cheeks sunken, and her face and hands wrinkled. Seeing this, I couldn’t help stopping my steps.
I was about to run out of the room and leave the scene behind forever when she began to tell a story. I burst into tears when I heard “There was a boy named Billy...”. I went over and sat by the bed, holding my grandmother’s bony hand and listening to her story. Although her voice was weak, it was enough to remind me of those happy days in the past. I smiled at my grandmother and listened to her quietly.

Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List
Condé Nast Traveler has a new travel app collecting all of the hotels, resorts, cruises and restaurants recommended in issues of the magazine, organizing them based on destination.

The new member to the UAE's astronaut training program, the first female Emirati (阿联酋) astronaut, hopes that her mechanical engineering degree will be her ticket to the moon.
Nora AlMatrooshi and her fellow trainee astronaut Mohammad AlMulla were selected from 4000 highly qualified candidates to lead the nation’s 9.8 million citizens into space.
The two are looking forward to the laborious 30-month program ahead of them which has already begun with them getting their divers’ licences, picking up the Russian language and coaching for their many media interviews—and will move on to flight and weightlessness school at the Johnson Space Centre in Texas and eventually cruel survival training.
“They will need mechanical engineers to build a base on the moon,” says the 28-year-old, who represented her nation at the Mathematics Olympics and worked as an engineer at the National Petroleum Construction Company.
AlMatrooshi says she has dreamed of the stars since kindergarten, when her teacher set up the classroom as the Lunar surface and the five-year-old future astronaut constructed a cardboard moonbase. That early longing to explore space charted her degree choice.
“I actually went after it. I chose to study a degree in mechanical engineering because of a documentary I watched when I was in high school. It was about a group of astronauts going to the International Space Station and the role of the mechanical engineer was highlighted,” she say.
Leading big construction projects in the desert has helped equip the daughter of two academics—a PhD father and English teacher mother—for Lunar construction.
AlMatrooshi’s fellow trainee astronaut UAE police helicopter pilot AlMulla, meanwhile says astronaut training has been “a big career change”.
“I spent 15 years qualifying to be a pilot, including training in Australia for my commercial pilot’s licence,” says the father of two. “As a pilot you get used to mastering everything—suddenly I’m changing my path.”
“I’m a big fan of SpaceX. The rockets and even the fancy space suits. And hopefully all four of us—and all the astronauts who come after us will get to be a part of future missions—perhaps even to the moon eventually.”
4. What preparation have they made before the training program?
A. They have grasped their native language. B. They have had cruel survival training.
C. They have learned to deal with the press. D. They have done some weightlessness training.
5. Which is the major factor for AlMatrooshi to be a member of the training program?
A. She got help from her academic parents.
B. She has had a big dream since her childhood.
C. She has experience in big construction projects.
D. She was the winner of the Mathematics Olympics.
6. What does the underlined part “I'm changing my path” refer to?
A. I’ll be a master of life. B. I’m an enthusiast for SpaceX.
C. I’m settling my new problem. D. I’m starting a new life from scratch.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The fans of Space X B. Dream and achievements
C. Passion and preparations D. Future astronaut training program
C

What moved Gaylord Nelson to action was the1969massive oil spill(溢出)in California,the largest oil spill in the United States at that time.The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a strong impact on marine life,killing an estimated3,500sea birds,as well as marine animals such as dolphins,elephant seals and sea lions.Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time,Nelson found it was a right time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection.He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment.Thus,Earth Day was born in1970,and public environmental consciousness took centre stage.
On 22nd April 1970,millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a healthy,sustainable environment and thousands of students marched in protest of the terrible situation of the environment.Businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.The year1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more countries around the world.It helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro,bringing together many nations,for a joint effort towards protecting the environment.In 2009,the United Nations decided to officially set April 22 as Earth Day.
For his role as founder of Earth Day,Gaylord Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1995),the highest honour given to civilians in the United States.We honor the man,as the fight for a cleaner environment continues.
8. What can we learn about Earth Day?
A. It was founded at the end of 1970s.
B. It was first celebrated in Rio de Janeiro.
C. People will march on the street on this day.
D. It arouses public environmental awareness.
9. What did Gaylord Nelson do to make Earth Day possible?

D. The joint efforts of different countries.
11. Which of the following best describes Gaylord Nelson?

When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.
Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and his team modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades — enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emissions savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a decade.
The results are in the Transportation Research Record.
As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers or carbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement-based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you’re talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways — those agencies are where the rubber meets the road.
12. Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in paragraph 1?

13. What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions?
A. Hardening the road. B. Keeping oil in the ground.
C. Growing trees for decades. D. Improving the transportation.
14. What is the advantage of this suggestion?
A. Gaining more support. B. Consuming less money.
C. Involving more people. D. Facing fewer usual obstacles.
15. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?
A. Those agencies are likely to make more rules.
B. Those agencies will change some related policies.
C. Those agencies might put more rubber tires on the roads.
D. Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.

In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You
These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. ____16____
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress
Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning. In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate. ____17____
Step 2: Own Your Stress
The next step is to welcome, or “own” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. ____18____ Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: “I’m stressed about…because I deeply care about…”
Step 3: Use Your Stress
Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.
Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? ____19____
There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control. ____20____ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time.
A. Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.
B You can release stress from the past and more with emotional focus techniques.
C. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.
D. But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear.
E. Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.
F. But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis.
G. This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
When I was young, my mother was going to Florida to visit my grandmother. I begged her to take me with her. “I’ll take you, but remember,” my mother warned me, “Grandma is sick.“ I had seen plenty of sick people before, so I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal. Besides, by the time we got to Florida, my grandma would probably be okay. Then we would have fun just as we used to. I remembered how excited I had felt the summer before when my grandma carried me on her shoulders down the streets.
Grandma was a great storyteller and her stories made me feel special whenever she told them. ”Grandma, tell me a story,“ I’d say, and she would always begin the story, “Once upon a time there was a boy named Billy…” Every story started with a boy named after me. When I arrived at her house, my first words were going to be, “Grandma, tell me a story.”
When I got to Grandma’s house, she didn’t come out to meet me. Even after I ran up the steps, she still didn’t come out to meet me. I went into her bedroom. Instantly, I was seized by terror and disgust, because what I saw in that room wasn’t my happy-go-lucky(无忧无虑的)grandmother. It was a crumpled(皱的)body, thin and weak.
That night as I lay in bed, I heard my grandma moaning in pain. It had the same effect on me as someone running fingernails across the blackboard. It was so annoying that I just wanted to tell her to stop. However, I didn’t and it continued all night.
A few weeks after we came home, my mother asked me whether it was all right if Grandma came to live with us. I said yes, but in reality I never wanted to see her again. Although my grandma lived with us for the next few months, I never went into her room. She couldn’t get out of bed. I didn’t have to see her.
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。
One day, my grandma called me as I walked by her room. I didn’t want to go.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was about to run out of the room and leave the scene behind forever when she began to tell a story.
