B A"bucket list"is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to accomplish before the end of his life. Fortunately,I've been able to check off many of mine,an achievement that many people I know never get the opportunity to do. While most people don't like to talk about mortality(),the hard fact is that it will come eventually.After the loss of several loved ones,I decided to make my bucket list so that,when I reflect on my life,I'll smile and know that I grabbed every chance gt happiness that I could. Some of the things on my bucket list that I've achieved-hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in China;diving off the highest platform of 15 meters(50 feet)into the sea at Ariel's Point in Boracay;doing the world's highest commercial bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower;octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea;and mueh more. The top item on my bucket list,however,is much more difficult to achieve.Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976,I have been searching for my birth parents for the past several years.I can't help but worry that they may be gone.But having this item head my list urges me to keep trying and I'm planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search. When I've talked about my bucket list to others,some of the feedback I've received is that it seems"a bit morbid". Like,if you have a list,you're thinking about your death.But I'm still in my rosy years. As you get older,the list may change.And that's OK.Whether it includes visiting certain countries,getting in better physical shape,buying a particular item or just spending more time with loved ones,there is no wrong way to do a bucket list.Your list can include short-term goals,once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals.It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so. 24.Why did the author decide to make his-bucket list? A.Because he missed his loved ones. B.Because he was afraid of early death. C.Because he thought life was too hard. D.Because he didn't want to live to regret. 3 25.Which of the following wishes has NOT been achieved according to the author? A.Finding his biological parents. B.Hiking on Mount Huashan. C.Doing bungee off Macao Tower. D.Diving at Ariel's Point. 26.What does the underlined word"morbid"in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.strange. B.necessary C.acceptable. D.amazing. 27.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.People should stick to their dreams and hopes. B It doesn't make any sense to change the bucket list. C.A bucket list can help us get motivated and relaxed. D.Personal experiences shouldn't be included in a bucket list. C Weighing just 2 grams,hummingbirds don't appear to be fierce and strong.Hummingbird migration()season gets underway in August,when the small birds will fly thousands of miles away in search of warmer climates and olooming flowers to last out the cold winter months.Colder temperatures don't necessarily bother them,but finding new ood sources is a headache. About 20 of the world's 363 known hummingbird species call the U.S.home,most native to the westem U.S., :specially Arizona and southern Texas."East of the Mississippi,we only have the Ruby-throated hummingbird,"said )avid Wiedenfeld,a senior conservation scientist with the American Bird Conservancy.When migration season begins, ne Ruby-throated hummingbirds are still abundant throughout the eastem half of the U.S.By early October,they are tarting to show up in Central America,and they settle in southern Mexico,Guatemala,Honduras,Nicaragua,and Costa ica for the winter. On their joumey,some birds cross the Gulf of Mexico,cruising from the coast of Texas or Louisiana to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico without stopping for about 18 hours,"without landing,without eating,without drinking," Viedenfeld said."For these tiny birds,it's a tremendous crossing."Since males play a minor role in raising their young, ney often set out south sooner,usually by September Ist,followed by females a few weeks later after their babies leave ae nest.Then,the young hummingbirds set out on the journey alone."They're doing it for the first time,all on their own," aid Witko."They're just setting off by nature.They've evolved the signals...that tell them to go certain directions and ertain places.” The start ot migration season means hummingbirds will be easier to spot,which means it will bring bird-watchers ew opportunities to catch sight of them on their trip.Seeing hummingbirds really comes down to finding places where nere are native plants,native flowers.Those are always some of the best spots.Besides,bird feeder with homemade ectar()placed right outside your window will attract them,offering you a close-up view of their beating wings. 8.What's the biggest challenge hummingbirds meet when August comes? A.Cold temperatures. B.Lack of food supplies. C.Their natural enemies. D.The long distance ahead. 9.Which words can best describe little Ruby-throated hummingbirds in paragraph 3? A.Rough and smart. B.Patient and creative. C.Energetic and friendly. D.Independent and tough. What should bird-watchers do to observe the little bird close by? A.Equip themselves with a telescope. B.Follow their tracks all the way. C.Wait around foreign flowers and observe. D.Place a bird feeder containing nectar outside What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Hummingbirds Flying South Feasts Bird-watchers'Eyes B.Ruby-throated Hummingbirds Are Native to America Only C.Tiny Hummingbirds Start Big Joumey for Warmer Winter D.Hummingbirds Favor Warmer Climates and Blooming Flowers 0 Roughly 42%of Americans are nearsighted today,compared to 25%in 1971.The WHO predicts that about half of the world's population will have nearsightedness(),by 2050.It's clear that our vision is becoming increasingly unclear. On seeing this,while our first reaction is to blame the increased use of screens,experts believe the real reason is less time spent outdoors.Exposure(暴露)to natural light stimulates dopamine(多巴胺)，helping regulate normal grow and development of the eyeball.Indoor lighting doesn't do the trick.Ideally,kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day. Still,our increased use of screens is a problem.Most screens are high contrast-like black text on a white page,or light text on a dark background.It's still a theory,but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be overstimulating our retinas(),causing more eye growth problems in children.A 2018 study in Scientific Records analyzed the retinal pathways when looking at black text on white backgrounds compared to natural environments,and concluded the contrast could stimulate nearsightedness.Close work, like reading and looking closely at screens,has also been shown to cause nearsightedness. Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising nearsightedness rates.A recent clinical trial found eye-drops with a low dose of atropine can slow nearsightedness in kids.There's also some early evidence that peripheral defocus lenses((周边离焦透镜)might help stop nearsightedness from worsening. It's strongly recommended that regular eye examinations should be a must,for people with nearsightedness are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age,such as glaucoma,early cataracts and macular degeneration.You can also reduce eye pressure by making a few simple lifestyle changes,such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light,and taking frequent breaks,etc. 32.What's the real reason why so many people are nearsighted? A.Dramatically increased use of screens. B.Not enough exposure to natural light. C.Not having enough breaks when working. D.Looking at screens at a short distance. 33.Why does the author mention the 2018 study in Scientific Records? A.To call on readers to remove their incorrect eye habits B.To prove to readers the seriousness of nearsightedness. C.To support the link between high contrast and nearsightedness D.To show he is well-informed of the advances in this field. 34.What can you do to improve the situation of your nearsightedness? A.Wear specially-designed peripheral defocus lenses. B.Apply eye-drops with a high dose of atropine. C.Work on your homework for hours on end. D.Have an eye operation recommended at an early age. 35.What's the main structure of this passage? A.Questions-answers B.Problem-reasons-solutions. C.Problem-changes-effects. D.Viewpoint-arguments-conclusion. -节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 第3页共4页 Working from home in a small apartment is fine during the day.But when nighttime comes,it may be difficult to turn off work and get a good night's sleep.These kinds of apartments,with the living room,kitchen and sleeping area all in one room,are common in large cities. Here comes some advice gathered on how to work productively and sleep well in such an apartment. A good bed is extremely important At the beginning,a good bed is a must.Even better is a high-quality sleep sofa that can double as a bed and couch. Or,a Murphy bed.37He came up with this idea in 1900 while living in his own studio apartment in California. Create a sleep area To separate your sleep area from the rest of the apartment,you can purchase a freestanding screen or room divider. And try your best to keep your sleep area strictly for sleeping.38.I you use your bed during the daytime,you can do small tasks to keep daytime work and sleep separate.Lisa Strauss,a psychologist and expert in sleep disorders, suggests using one side of the bed for reading and the other for sleeping. Freshen the air.Lower the lights. For starters,you must make sure the air flow is good.An air purifier will work,if you cook and sleep in the same place.Also,be sure that computer,TV,and other electronic screens are turned off at night.39 Keep things clean and organized One thing to avoid when it comes to studio living is leaving beds unmade.Why?40It will also add to a sense of crowdedness.At night.you would do well to put away electronics.Side tables with plugs and ports for electronics help you store devices and keep things organized and clean. A.It is named after William Murphy. B.However,that is not always possible. C.Studio apartments often do not have a lot of storage. D.Work and life can be even harder in studio apartments. E.People will have an impression that you are lazy and untidy. F.Their light can affect our internal clocks if they are at a short distance from bed. G.Using ealming smells like lavender()at bedtime will set the tone for restful sleep. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分)第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Normaliy,half teachers would leave the profession by their fifth year.I,a fourth year teacher,would probably 41 them.Although many students42.my class,especially my skills and patience,I still didn't think what I was doing 43.I still kept praying(for a sign to stay,though.

There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play.There was just one thing I hadn't counted on:My brother chose to bring his dog Toby,a 50 pound ball of fire.Though friendly,he'could easily knock over my niece's small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter.So,when my brother showed up,I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine.Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room.Unexpectedly,after supper,the weather changed.It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment.I didn't want Toby to be running around in the house,and my brother wasn't happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually,my brother decided to.leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed,and I hadn't heard anything from my brother.I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again.His reply came as a surprise-a shock,actually:"Not a chance."Clearly,he was unhappy over the way we had parted.After all,I had left him little choice.Well,he'll get over it,I reasoned. Two months passed.My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother,but I resisted,thinking he should call first. However,my conscience()kept bothering me.I tried to put myself in my brother's shoes.He was facing health issues and his wife,with whom he had lived for 35 years,had passed away a few months earlier.Toby was his constant companion,the one who kept him going. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Para 1: I realized it was me who was at fault(有过错).
