26、In the three decades since Darah Lady’s grandmother first arrived in this distant area of northern Brazil, clearing the forest by hand to build a house for her 14 children, the family has pushed deeper and deeper into the Amazon. It has been driven by a saying that good fortune comes when nature gives in to human control.

Yet their growing community there could ruin not only their children’s future but also that of the entire planet. More global pandemics (流行病) are on the way, scientists say, and the next one is likely to crop up from a community like Darah Lady’s, where people are taking up more and more space of the natural world and erasing the buffer zone (缓冲区) between themselves and habitats that existed long. As people cut down forest, they not only speed up the global warming but also greatly increase their risk of exposure to disease.

Scientists also say disease hot zones are expanding from Africa to South America, and that deforestation has already led to a rise in spreading disease. Zoologists have found that a third of all known disease outbreaks around the world were due to rapid land use change.

Darah Lady’s community of Maruaga is filled with risks for the spread of viruses (病毒). Their family has already battled zoonotic illnesses — the term used to describe diseases spread between animalsand humans.

When 40% of a land area has been destroyed, according to Tom Gillespie, a university researcher, the region hits a sort of tipping point: Wild animals are pushed closer to humans for food, and viruses begin to spread.

Darah Lady seemed to notice the slight dfference of deforestation. “I get kind of sad,” Darah Lady said, “Because the forest is something I’ve loved since I was litle. And they are deforesting, right? It’s destroying nature.”

【1】What do you know about Darah Lady?

A．She built a house for her 14 children.

B．She made a big fortune in Amazon.

C．Her family cut down trees for growing crops.

D．Her family lived in Amazon for decades.

【2】What led to the spread of zoonotic illnesses?

A．The loss of the buffer zone.

B．The effect of global warming.

C．The lack of species variety.

D．The expansion of wildlife habitats.

【3】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．A possible treatment for diseases.

B．A real example of the prevention of diseases.

C．A further explanation of the spread of diseases.

D．A supporting evidence for the danger of diseases.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Entertainment.

B．Design.

C．Education.

D．Environment.

27、Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic(水上的) shoes they designed and created.

Alex Quinines was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time — just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture, Professor Jaime Canaves’ Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It’s traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”

A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.

A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the races. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.

“A part of this is for them to have more understanding and designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the student.

“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”

【1】For what purpose did the students take part in the race?

A. To go across the lake to school.

B. To pass Professor Jaime Canaves’ class.

C. To test their balance on the water.

D. To win the prize money of $500.

【2】Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?

A. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.

B. The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by Professor Jaime Canaves.

C. The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Jaime Canaves to walk across the lake.

D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Alex Quinines is a top student in the university.

B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.

C. The student who made it in to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.

D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.

【4】The purpose of the passage is to   .

A. show approval of the unique teaching style

B. inspire teachers to be more creative

C. report an interesting assignment

D. encourage more people to take part in the race

28、In1812, the year Charles Dices was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 — but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the author, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly immoral or just plain bad.

In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up a moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling of the Mona Lisa.

How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901, today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a well-known writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture — to understand how he made himself a lasting one.

【1】Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century？

A．They were written mostly by women.

B．They were seen as nearly worthless.

C．They were difficult to understand.

D．They were popular among the rich.

【2】Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress .

A．his interest in modern art

B．his importance in literature

C．his success in publication

D．his reputation in France

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？

A．To promote values of the Victorian age.

B．To encourage studies on culture

C．To introduce an English novel.

D．To remember a great writer

29、In the past decade,the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities(名人)and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight.

A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2019?

Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent Douyin, took the world by storm The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple's App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said.

Why are these short videos-which are rarely longer than a few minutes--so popular? Jiang Yige, a Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. “Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules’," he told CNBC

These videos-apart from being very convenient-are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue

The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him. "It's really cool...because I think as short video creators that's what we all expect," she added.

Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise It's a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live

However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streaming. Among them is viewers' ability to interact while remaining anonymous.

However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn't mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds

【1】The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being

A．changeable

B．steady

C．promising

D．violent

【2】According to Liza Koshy, short videos are very popular because

A．they are very convenient

B．they help people kill time

C．they provide a sense of community

D．they allow people to express themselves

【3】What can we learn about social media from the text?

A．The information from social media is highly reliable

B．When it comes to social media, people only know short videos.

C．People can't communicate with each other without social media

D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Rapid Development of Social Media

B．Key Social Media Trends of 2019

C．Short Videos Taking the World by Storm

D．Live Streaming--the New Feature of Social Media

32、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。

Viewed from dry land, the river looked beautiful. The fast-flowing waters of the Snake River were crisp and clear as they crashed over the rocks below. I was 16 and my parents had hired a car to drive us children around North America and Canada in the summer holidays.

Upon our arrival, lost in the beautiful scenery, we couldn't wait to start our tour. Dad got a dinghy（橡皮艇）from somewhere. It looked a bit small for the six of us, and we didn't have safety helmets, and were wearing adult-sized life jackets. I don't think any of us had even seen rapids（急流）until we went down them that day, otherwise we'd have realized how foolhardy（莽撞的）our plan was.

The first part of the ride was pretty hair-raising and it was apparent that we had no idea what we were doing. After 20 minutes we hit a rapid and got stuck: there was a huge rock under the surface and our boat was letting in water. The bottom got stuck and we were trapped in the middle of a wide, fast-moving river. Wall after wall of freezing water hit me and the iciness took my breath away. My brother, sisters and I were screaming, Dad was shouting at us that it would all be OK, while Mum yelled at us to hold on. We had no time to come up with any plan other than to hold tight.

It felt as if we were stuck for hours, unable to think or breathe, but it was probably only a few minutes. Then, suddenly I was swept out of the dinghy. I felt a sense of horror, which was replaced by an even greater terror when I realized I was going down the rapids without a boat. I was spun around, bounced off rocks and fell into water: it's what I imagine being trapped in a washing machine is like. There's no sense of up or down; you just gasp（喘气）for air when you can. I remember thinking, "This is it. I am going to die."

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式作答。

But suddenly I felt a determination to live.
