第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Step back in time with these reminders, symbolic places, of the Britain that once was ruled by Queen Victoria.
Blists Hill Victorian Town, Shropshire
Visitors to this Victorian town could happily wave goodbye to their smartphones, cars and almost any modern convenience. Walk through the gates and enjoy the smell of freshly baked bread and carbolic soap, hear the sounds of steam engines, a horse and cart.
November and December are the perfect months to visit, as the town lays on its annual Christmas celebrations.
The Workhouse, Southwell, Nottinghamshire
Experience the life inside without enduring the punishing conditions, with a tour of the best-preserved workhouse in Britain, serving as a place of labour.
Life here for Victorian Britain’s poorest was incredibly tough, with the 160 inmates spending their days pulling rope apart by hand or turning the mill, but today it’s a peaceful site and an abundant vegetable crop, with heritage varieties.
Grand Hotel, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
The hotel was built in the peak of this domestic train tourism boom. In 1845 the town was linked to York by rail, a development that brought a flood of holidaymakers. When it opened, it was one of the largest in Europe.
Visitors can still book in at the hotel today and enjoy the same traditional seaside pastimes as their ancestors — watching Punch and Judy shows, eating ice creams or riding along the coastal path on donkeys.
Tower Ballroom, Blackpool
Another immensely popular Victorian seaside town, Blackpool, received a sudden increase in visitors following the erection of the Blackpool Tower in 1894. In 1899, the Tower Ballroom was opened, designed to rival the nearby Empress Ballroom. The specially designed dancefloor attracted dancers from all over the world, and even the most working-class locals could experience a night of luxury.
Today, visitors still flood to dance in its grand interior or enjoy afternoon tea under the dreamy painted ceiling.
21. What may you see if you visit Blists Hill Victorian Town?
A. A phone shop. B. A coffee bar. C. A steam train. D. A net bar.
22. What is The Workhouse, Southwell used as now?
A. A school. B. A factory. C. A museum. D. An attraction.
23. What do Grand Hotel and Tower Ballroom have in common?
A. By the sea. B. Go in a taxi.
C. Amusement buildings. D. Enjoy performances.
B
November 23 was the happiest day of last winter for Wang Xiaolong. On that day, he spotted nearly 400 white cranes (鹤) in his patrol (巡逻) area near Poyang Lake.
“I was thrilled. It was the largest number of migratory birds I had seen in months,” Wang said.
Wang has been a patrol officer at the Wucheng protection and administration station of the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve Bureau for 38 years. Each morning, around 5 am, he rises early, has a simple breakfast, and sets off from the protection station.
“Protecting the birds of Poyang Lake is my duty. This work has become a significant part of my life and holds the utmost importance to me. By protecting nature’s spirits, I have found my life’s purpose,” Wang said.
Wang fondly recalls rescuing a young white crane 20 years ago on a winter’s day. He spotted the injured young crane during his patrol and brought it back to the protection station, where he fed it small fish and shrimp and took it to the bird hospital for treatment.
“I remember when we went to the hospital; I walked in front, and the young crane followed me. We entered the hospital together. After about a month, its injury healed, and I decided to release it back into the wild,” he said. “That day left a deep impression on me. The little white crane circled above my head for a long time before flying away. It felt like it recognized me and was reluctant to leave.”
Over the decades, Wang has rescued and released over 300 birds and participated in more than 180 projects involving the protection of migratory birds. He has received numerous honors, including being named “Jiangxi’s most beautiful environmentalist”.

In 2007, the African Union announced an ambitious project—to plant the Great Green Wall(GGW), a band of trees that would stretch the length of the Sahel.
The GGW is an ecological restoration project designed by African people for African people. Heavy rains, droughts, wildfires and landslides have all become common throughout the world. But nowhere is quite like the Sahel. In this huge African region, climate change has materialised in a dramatic manner. In some cases, the severe conditions have left people with no option other than to migrate elsewhere to survive. It was with all of this in mind that the extraordinary, but heavily debated project was first put forward.
Fourteen years have passed since the initiative formally kicked off. The stated goal was to create a 15kilometrewide, 8,000kilometrelong green belt of trees and other plants that, by 2030, would span(跨越) the entire width of the Sahel, from Senegal to Djibouti. Overall, 100 million hectares(公顷) of land would be restored by 2030. Once completed, the wall could end up capturing(俘获) 250 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, while its creation and upkeep could create ten million jobs in rural areas.
Looking at the project as a whole, there's still a long way to go. According to a status report by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, about four million hectares of degraded land have been restored. This means that progress towards the 100 million hectares target stands at just four percent.
“When we started restoring the soil, we realised the area at risk was much wider than we initially thought,” explains Elvis Paul Tangem, the African Union's GGW coordinator. “We had few funds to push the initiative as much as we wanted to. There was skepticism among investors, who didn't understand the project, but also among the African states themselves, which needed time to figure out if the GGW was a priority.”
28.What is the purpose of the GGW project?
A.To improve local ecology. B.To develop rural economy.
C.To predict climate patterns. D.To strengthen regional ties.
29.What do the statistics in Paragraph 3 show of the initiative?
A.The service period. B.The total budget.
C.The targeted groups. D.The expected benefits.
30.How does Elvis Paul Tangem feel about the project?
A.Skeptical. B.Worried.
C.Confident. D.Satisfied.
31.What message does the author intend to convey in the text?
A.African countries should stand together.
B.The progress of the GGW project is slow.
C.Fighting climate change is our top priority.
D.Natural disasters are worse than we thought.
D
Accents are a sign of belonging and something that separates communities. Yet we can probably think of people who seem to have lost their accent and of others whose accent stays firmly in place. Given the personal and social importance of how someone speaks, why would anyone's accent change?
A conscious or subconscious desire to fit in can influence the way you speak. If someone moves from Australia to America to work, for example, they will probably at least change their accent in order to get a better sense of belonging. This may be out of a need or desire to be more clearly understood and to be accepted in a new community. They might also want to avoid ridicule for the way they speak.
For people whose accents do shift, the way they speak may be less important to their sense of identity, or their identity with a social or professional group may be more pressing. Even before we are born, we are exposed to the speech patterns of those around us. We progress through various stages of speech development that result in us having speech patterns similar to those around us.
For others whose accent does not seem to change, it could be because they feel safe in their identity, and their accent is much part of that identity—or that keeping the difference is valuable to them.
Meanwhile, brain damage may result in foreign accent syndrome (FAS), which results from physical changes that are not under the speaker's control. Suffering from FAS, speakers may lose the ability to speak at all or experience strange changes in the way they pronounce. In some cases, listeners might look down upon a person with FAS as they believe them to be foreigners. It's no wonder many people unconsciously protect themselves by adapting their speech to those around them.
32.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The desire to fit in.
B.The change of career.
C.The adjustment of accents.
D.The influence on language.
33.What makes people choose to change their accents?
A.The result of brain damage.
B.Their strong sense of identity.
C.Their desire to learn about locals.
D.The need to adapt to new environment.
34.What can we know about the people suffering from FAS?
A.They may be taken as foreigners.
B.They can not help making a sound.
C.They suffer from emotional changes.
D.They may change accents to gain respect.
35.What's the author's purpose in writing this text?
A.To explain the loss of accents.
B.To introduce the history of accents.
C.To analyse why accents are lost or kept.
D.To show the significance of accent changes.

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。
The Power of Peers
Do birds of a feather really flock together? People do tend to choose friends who are similar to them. Many behaviors spread socially. Activities in certain brain areas change when other people are around. 36 You can use the power of social relationships to gain healthier habits—and motivate others to do the same.
37 Teens are especially responsive to peer influence. At the same time, the reward system in the teen brain becomes extra sensitive. Teens are just learning to explore the social world. Understanding other people’s values and being influenced by them are important parts of socializing.
A research shows that even just having another peer around can change the reward response in the brain and also the risk-taking tendencies of teenagers. Some people seem to be more easily influenced than others and more sensitive to feeling included or excluded by others. 38 But it’s also a time that peer influence can help teens thrive if it gets them more involved with their community or helps them learn behaviors to get along with others.
It’s the quality of friendships—not quantity—that really makes the difference. Friendships you feel you want to let go of may be of low quality. 39 High quality friendships provide understanding, support, and recognition of your self-worth. These types of friendships are more steady and satisfying.
Spending time with friends can be especially helpful for people. Noticing that our behavior is influenced by other people, we can be intentional and try to focus on the people who are doing the things we want to get into ourselves. 40
A. Adolescence(青春期) is such a risky period.
B. That can affect what you choose to do.
C. Peer pressure can sometimes lead to competition.
D. People care about what others think across all different age groups.
E. They are linked to poor academic performance and behavioral issues.
F. Sharing your healthy habits could also make a real difference to others.
G. The number of friends you have determines your level of social influence.

5G is developing, but most of us aren’t really sure what it is or the reason 56 we need it. A big part of the reason is that 5G means more than one thing. If you ask different people, you 57 (provide) with different answers.
Experts believe that 4G is on 58 way out. In 2020, the U. K. is expected to use 5G. At present, it is unknown exactly what influence 5G will have on people’ s life but it is widely thought that 5G will 59 (definite) be faster than any generation of networks we have used previously.
Work will likely become much easier as 5G will allow quicker downloads and a better ability to work online even if there is no WiFi 60 (connect). With the development of 5G, driver-less cars will be able to communicate with other vehicles, which can reduce road accidents 61 about 10%. One of the most 62 (impress) things will be that people can see which seats on a train are accessible to 63 (they) when it arrives at the station. 64 (get) around the world will also be more convenient.
A number of companies are now working on bringing 5G to the market. It remains to be seen how much of the country 5G will cover and 65 everyone will be able to benefit from it.

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。
One rainy November afternoon I had a quarrel with my Dad about his poor housework. I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would unleash (发泄) a storm of anger on him.
“I’m taking you to school.” Dad said, as rain came down in sheets and lightning flashed in the sky. “You are not used to driving in this kind of weather.” he continued, reaching for his boots. “I have been driving that route for many years. I can drive it today.” With these words, I struggled into my jacket, grabbed my bag and stormed out of the house.
“Don’t take the shortcut, Donna!” Dad shouted after me, throwing through the car window a big pack of sandwiches.
Dad had been working as a building worker when a heart attack last spring forced him to leave his job earlier than he had planned. Dad began to stay home and took over the household chores. As the medical bills mounted I realized I would have to work part-time after my school day to make ends meet.
The new arrangement was a disaster for me. Exhausted after a day of dealing with my academic routine and food delivery, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal and a good night’s sleep. During the months that followed, Dad’s cooking somehow was getting worse. We dined on smelly baked potatoes and, of course, hard egg sandwiches. I would remember the time Dad had eaten every piece of potatoes on his plate and complimented (恭维) the dinner though I discovered later how he disliked it. So I wouldn’t say anything to him, even about the endless sandwiches. It was much harder for me to hold my peace after Dad served such meals for the third night in a row.
As far as I was concerned, things couldn’t get much worse. So that rainy morning when I found my blue skirt badly folded, I could only burst out. I had had it!
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。
Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation.

Paragraph 1:
Ten minutes later, ignoring Dad’s warning about not taking the shortcut, I turned off the main route. At first, she thought she was right, as this road had fewer people and could get her to school faster. But soon she found the road flooded by rainwater, and her car got stuck in the mud. She tried to push it, but in vain. The rain kept pouring harder, and fear began to creep over her.
Paragraph 2:
Helpless and hungry, I was in a state of desperation. She was extremely hungry, thinking of the sandwiches Dad had thrown to her, and regretted losing her temper with Dad and not listening to him. Just then, she saw Dad's car. Dad got off, didn't blame her, but helped get her car out. Donna apologized to Dad, who smiled and handed her the sandwiches.
