At night look up at the sky How many stars do you see If you live in the country bright stars will fill the sky If you live in the city on the other hand you might not see any stars What’s happening Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky making the stars unseen This is light pollution
Light can also come into city homes like an uninvited guest Sometimes a visitor to a big city can’t sleep because of the bright sign outside his or her window Darkness helps us sleep Without darkness we lie awake and lose sleep which may lead to serious health problems
Living things need darkness It’s part of the natural 24hour cycle Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly Animals become puzzled（困惑）when light and dark are changed For example night animals might think it’s day when it’s actually night
Finally using too many lights wastes energy and money The huge lights for allnight parking lots are too bright and unnecessary Every city spends millions of dollars to light its thousands of buildings and streets and much of this lighting is just to make the city look beautiful rather than to serve a certain purpose
True we feel safer in the light but our eyes are able to see a little in darkness And we don’t need to light the whole city just to create a beautiful night view We should try to turn the lights off to save the earth and all the living things from its pollution
47 What’s the main idea of the passage
A Living things need darkness B Light pollution is around us
C How to avoid light pollution D Lights are uninvited guests
48 The underlined word artificial in Paragraph 3 probably means________
A real B natural C weak D manmade
49 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A It’s unnecessary to use huge light for allnight parking lots
B We can’t see any stars in the sky in the city at night
C Visitors to a big city lie awake and lose sleep because of darkness
D Trees and plants grow strangely and die quickly in the day
答案47 B 48 D 49 A

Will humans someday live and work on Mars（火星） Many scientists think so In fact they are already working on plans to turn Mars into a new Earth
Humans need three basic things to live water to drink air to breathe and food to eat Because of the shortage of those above it is impossible to live on Mars right now Then how can we make Mars a right place for humans to live on The answer is to change the environment of the planet so that it is similar to Earth’s
On Mars the temperature is about —60℃ So one of the main purposes is to warm it up One idea for warming Mars comes from a problem here on Earth ——climate change Most scientists agree that Earth is becoming warmer because of increased levels of greenhouse gases（气体）in our atmosphere（气） We might create similar conditions on Mars by building factories that give off greenhouse gases The gas will change the atmosphere on Mars Rain will fall and it may be possible to grow plants for food There will be many difficulties in changing Mars The program could take many centuries and the cost will be high We have some of the technology such as the ability to create greenhouse gases but not the money Anyway life on Mars is a real possibility for future people
50 The writer writes this article to________
A talk about living conditions on Mars at present
B talk about difficulties people meet with on Mars
C introduce plans to turn Mars into our future home
D introduce scientists’ discovery about our atmosphere
51 ________is the key to warming Mars
A Rain B Plant C Money D The greenhouse gas
52 What can be inferred（推断）from the passage
A Money is one of the difficulties to hold back the program
B Mars is the only planet for humans to live on in the future
C It is possible for people to live on Mars in the near future
D Technology can change Mars into a right place to live on now

The human face doesn’t lie We show sadness and happiness through our expressions Scientists used to believe we had six basic facial expressions that tell others how we feel sad happy surprised fearful angry and disgusted (恶心) But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think
Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles (肌肉)
The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different descriptions These included phrases like you just got some great unexpected news which produced a happily surprised reaction from volunteers Others included you smell a bad smell which caused disgusted faces In total around 5000 pictures were taken of the volunteers The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures This helped them to define (定义) a facial expression That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone said Dr Aleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph For example to express surprise 92 percent of volunteers widened their eyes and opened their mouths And 99 percent raised their cheeks and smiled to show being happy
We are not always aware of our facial expressions which can hold clues to how we really feel So these results may have a big influence on medical treatment If doctors were able to recognize more complex (复杂) emotions it would help doctors treat patients suffering from certain diseases
40 How many facial expressions can human beings make according to the study
A 6 B 21 C 27 D 230
41 How do most people make a surprised face
A By opening their eyes and mouths wide B By raising their cheeks
C By covering their mouths with their hands D By laughing out loud
42 In which order did the scientists do the experiment
a Take pictures of the volunteers’ facial expressions
b Compare the pictures to find similarities
c Find 230 volunteers to take part in the experiment
A abc B cba C acb D cab

Dear Doctor Green
My relationship with my mother is worse and worse now It seems she’s never tired of talking She talks here and there day and night More seriously I feel like we don’t have much in common She doesn’t always understand what I’m trying to say What should I do
Yours
Jim
Dear Jim
I know how you feel It’s not easy being your age and it’s not easy being a mother either
It’s common for kids to have trouble talking with parents And mothers who talk too much are not new to teenagers But remember she’s nagging（唠叨）you because she just wants what’s best
for you Talking is her way to show love and care And she also wants to know more about you After a day’s work she’s tired too But she will never be tired of caring about you Kids should learn to understand and care about parents
In my opinion it’s helpful to share school life with her you talk and she listens Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you to know each other better And if possible often tell her your feelings about things around you Always keep in mind be polite and patient

Every time there is a serious disease outbreak( 爆 发 )somewhere in the world city planners come up with new ideas to fight it Pandemics( 流行病) have been shaping our cities for a long
time
In 1854 for example a cholera ( 霍 乱 )outbreak in London UK led to the design of modern
sewers(水道)At that time Londoners’ drinking water came from ground water It was heavily polluted by waste waterand the sewer system separated the wastewater from the groundwater This stopped the spread of cholera By sewering certain towns in England today’s death rate( 死亡率)from pulmonary (肺部) diseases alone was reduced by 50 George Pierson wrote in his
book The Separate System of Sewerage
During this year’s COVID19 pandemic an officer from Paris Anne Hidalgo introduced a new idea―every neighborhood should have a mix of stores homes offices and other important buildings Every basic need should be just a 15minute walk away This would reduce crowding on public transport and prevent the spread of disease
63 What do we know about the sewer system

B It was designed by George Pierson

D It separated the wastewater from the groundwater

When you think of the Arctic( 北 极 ) you imagine an icy land of pure white snow Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on the earth We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish And now it’s the Arctic’s turn
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow Microplastics are pieces of
plastic smaller than 5 millimeters Sadly the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (升) snow
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic According to scientists It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air They fall off things made of plastic and are moved by the wind just like dust They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now according to the WHO We do know that our bodies cannot take in large pieces of microplastics However if the plastics are small enough they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time which can be bad for our health What’s more earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans hurting ecosystems along the way They start in our wastewater then flow into rivers and out to the sea where they are eaten by sea animals If people then eat these animals it means that we’re eating the plastic as well
66 What can we learn about the Arctic from Paragraph 1
A It is an icy land of pure white snow
B It is a beautiful icy land with clean air
C It has been polluted by plastic rubbish
D It is the last really clean place left on earth
67 What does the underlined word contribute mean in Chinese
A增加 B 捐献 C 造成 D 降低
68 How does the writer end this text
A By advising us to drink clean water
B By asking people not to eat sea animals
C By showing the beauty of the Arctic
D By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution
E

Having a pet tiger would be great wouldn’t it It seems that many people agree at least in the US There are over 1 200 privately owned pet tigers in the country It is much more than the number of tigers living in the wild Why are there so many pet tigers One reason is that tigers breed(繁殖) well when they are kept in a place and looked after by humans That means the price of a baby tiger is quite low sometimes just 500 or 600 dollars
Unluckily tigers don’t make very good pets Caring for a big cat is very expensive difficult and dangerous As babies they may live inside with their owner play safely and look very cute However when they grow up they cannot be trusted They still want to live like a wild tiger According to big cat trainers only nearly 10 big cats can be trained well enough to get along with humans For this reason nearly all pet tigers live in care(笼子)
The life of a pet tiger living in a cage is sometimes unhappy They must stay in a cage so their owners can clean the cage and feed them It is also safe to touch the tigers After all they are still wild animals at heart So pet tigers are most often kept for show Is that the kind of pet you would want
70 How many pet tigers are there in the US
A Nearly 120 B About 500 C About 600 D Over 1200
71 What will happen to most tigers kept in a cage when they grow up

At night look up at the sky How many stars do you see If you live in the country bright stars will fill the sky If you live in the city on the other hand you might not see any stars What’s happening Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky making the stars unseen This is light pollution
Light can also come into city homes like an uninvited guest Sometimes a visitor to a big city can’t sleep because of the bright sign outside his or her window Darkness helps us sleep Without darkness we lie awake and lose sleep which may lead to serious health problems
Living things need darkness It’s part of the natural 24hour cycle Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly Animals become puzzled（困惑）when light and dark are changed For example night animals might think it’s day when it’s actually night
Finally using too many lights wastes energy and money The huge lights for allnight parking lots are too bright and unnecessary Every city spends millions of dollars to light its thousands of buildings and streets and much of this lighting is just to make the city look beautiful rather than to serve a certain purpose
True we feel safer in the light but our eyes are able to see a little in darkness And we don’t need to light the whole city just to create a beautiful night view We should try to turn the lights off to save the earth and all the living things from its pollution
47 What’s the main idea of the passage
A Living things need darkness B Light pollution is around us
C How to avoid light pollution D Lights are uninvited guests
48 The underlined word artificial in Paragraph 3 probably means________
A real B natural C weak D manmade
49 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A It’s unnecessary to use huge light for allnight parking lots
B We can’t see any stars in the sky in the city at night
C Visitors to a big city lie awake and lose sleep because of darkness

Will humans someday live and work on Mars（火星） Many scientists think so In fact they are already working on plans to turn Mars into a new Earth
Humans need three basic things to live water to drink air to breathe and food to eat Because of the shortage of those above it is impossible to live on Mars right now Then how can we make Mars a right place for humans to live on The answer is to change the environment of the planet so that it is similar to Earth’s
On Mars the temperature is about —60℃ So one of the main purposes is to warm it up One idea for warming Mars comes from a problem here on Earth ——climate change Most scientists agree that Earth is becoming warmer because of increased levels of greenhouse gases（气体）in our atmosphere（气） We might create similar conditions on Mars by building factories that give off greenhouse gases The gas will change the atmosphere on Mars Rain will fall and it may be possible to grow plants for food There will be many difficulties in changing Mars The program could take many centuries and the cost will be high We have some of the technology such as the ability to create greenhouse gases but not the money Anyway life on Mars is a real possibility for future people
50 The writer writes this article to________
A talk about living conditions on Mars at present
B talk about difficulties people meet with on Mars
C introduce plans to turn Mars into our future home
D introduce scientists’ discovery about our atmosphere
51 ________is the key to warming Mars
A Rain B Plant C Money D The greenhouse gas
52 What can be inferred（推断）from the passage
A Money is one of the difficulties to hold back the program
B Mars is the only planet for humans to live on in the future
C It is possible for people to live on Mars in the near future
D Technology can change Mars into a right place to live on now

The human face doesn’t lie We show sadness and happiness through our expressions Scientists used to believe we had six basic facial expressions that tell others how we feel sad happy surprised fearful angry and disgusted (恶心) But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think
Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles (肌肉)
The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different descriptions These included phrases like you just got some great unexpected news which produced a happily surprised reaction from volunteers Others included you smell a bad smell which caused disgusted faces In total around 5000 pictures were taken of the volunteers The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures This helped them to define (定义) a facial expression That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone said Dr Aleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph For example to express surprise 92 percent of volunteers widened their eyes and opened their mouths And 99 percent raised their cheeks and smiled to show being happy
We are not always aware of our facial expressions which can hold clues to how we really feel So these results may have a big influence on medical treatment If doctors were able to recognize more complex (复杂) emotions it would help doctors treat patients suffering from certain diseases
40 How many facial expressions can human beings make according to the study
A 6 B 21 C 27 D 230
41 How do most people make a surprised face
A By opening their eyes and mouths wide B By raising their cheeks
C By covering their mouths with their hands D By laughing out loud
42 In which order did the scientists do the experiment
a Take pictures of the volunteers’ facial expressions
b Compare the pictures to find similarities
c Find 230 volunteers to take part in the experiment
A abc B cba C acb D cab

Dear Doctor Green
My relationship with my mother is worse and worse now It seems she’s never tired of talking She talks here and there day and night More seriously I feel like we don’t have much in common She doesn’t always understand what I’m trying to say What should I do
Yours
Jim
Dear Jim
I know how you feel It’s not easy being your age and it’s not easy being a mother either
It’s common for kids to have trouble talking with parents And mothers who talk too much are not new to teenagers But remember she’s nagging（唠叨）you because she just wants what’s best
for you Talking is her way to show love and care And she also wants to know more about you After a day’s work she’s tired too But she will never be tired of caring about you Kids should learn to understand and care about parents
In my opinion it’s helpful to share school life with her you talk and she listens Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you to know each other better And if possible often tell her your feelings about things around you Always keep in mind be polite and patient

Every time there is a serious disease outbreak( 爆 发 )somewhere in the world city planners come up with new ideas to fight it Pandemics( 流行病) have been shaping our cities for a long
time
In 1854 for example a cholera ( 霍 乱 )outbreak in London UK led to the design of modern
sewers(水道)At that time Londoners’ drinking water came from ground water It was heavily polluted by waste waterand the sewer system separated the wastewater from the groundwater This stopped the spread of cholera By sewering certain towns in England today’s death rate( 死亡率)from pulmonary (肺部) diseases alone was reduced by 50 George Pierson wrote in his
book The Separate System of Sewerage
During this year’s COVID19 pandemic an officer from Paris Anne Hidalgo introduced a new idea―every neighborhood should have a mix of stores homes offices and other important buildings Every basic need should be just a 15minute walk away This would reduce crowding on public transport and prevent the spread of disease
63 What do we know about the sewer system
A It first appeared in Paris
B It was designed by George Pierson
C It reduced the death rate from cholera by 50
D It separated the wastewater from the groundwater
64 Why did Anne Hidalgo introduce a new idea
A To welcome more tourists B To prevent the spread of disease

When you think of the Arctic( 北 极 ) you imagine an icy land of pure white snow Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on the earth We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish And now it’s the Arctic’s turn
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow Microplastics are pieces of
plastic smaller than 5 millimeters Sadly the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of (升) snow
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic According to scientists It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air They fall off things made of plastic and are moved by the wind just like dust They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in
Are they bad for us Scientists cannot answer this question for now according to the WHO We do know that our bodies cannot take in large pieces of microplastics However if the plastics are small enough they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time which can be bad for our health What’s more earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans hurting ecosystems along the way They start in our wastewater then flow into rivers and out to the sea where they are eaten by sea animals If people then eat these animals it means that we’re eating the plastic as well
66 What can we learn about the Arctic from Paragraph 1
A It is an icy land of pure white snow
B It is a beautiful icy land with clean air
C It has been polluted by plastic rubbish
D It is the last really clean place left on earth
67 What does the underlined word contribute mean in Chinese
A增加 B 捐献 C 造成 D 降低
68 How does the writer end this text
A By advising us to drink clean water
B By asking people not to eat sea animals
C By showing the beauty of the Arctic
D By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution

The sun was just setting and the air was getting cooler We were in a place far away with no houses in sight We started to hear the cries of wild animals so Kate was nervous We didn’t have much food and it was getting colder and darker
Several hours passed Suddenly the headlights from another car appeared in the dark A stranger got out of the car He looked unfriendly at first until his mouth opened with a wide friendly smile He asked us to get into the car with him He had such a kind face and we knew we could count on him
He drove us to a village where his cousin lived His cousin offered us tea and local foods Everyone was excited to have unexpected guests Later that evening when we prepared to leave and thanked our new friends I couldn’t believe the reply from the cousin No we thank you for coming into our home

Do you live in a big city I do Every day the streets are noisy with the activity of millions of people each of them living in their own way It seems that people from every corner of the planet live here And every single person has his own personal story
However people here often feel quite lonely It’s so strange that you get together with other people at every moment but you still feel like you’re the only person on the planet You can walk through a crowd and feel like you’re flying alone in space Even the busiest shopping centre can feel like a foreign planet
There are many ways to deal with this feeling—but perhaps the best way is to depend on your friends When I’m feeling lonely or sad the first thing I do is to pick up my phone and text a friend All of us are busy with work and our own matters—but my closest friends always take the time to reply In a world where feelings of loneliness can come so easily friends are the best antidote to these feelings I’ve got through some of the hardest times in my life with the help of my friends
Take time to develop your own friendships You never know when you will need someone to lift you up

Having a pet tiger would be great wouldn’t it It seems that many people agree at least in the US There are over 1 200 privately owned pet tigers in the country It is much more than the number of tigers living in the wild Why are there so many pet tigers One reason is that tigers breed(繁殖) well when they are kept in a place and looked after by humans That means the price of a baby tiger is quite low sometimes just 500 or 600 dollars
Unluckily tigers don’t make very good pets Caring for a big cat is very expensive difficult and dangerous As babies they may live inside with their owner play safely and look very cute However when they grow up they cannot be trusted They still want to live like a wild tiger According to big cat trainers only nearly 10 big cats can be trained well enough to get along with humans For this reason nearly all pet tigers live in care(笼子)
The life of a pet tiger living in a cage is sometimes unhappy They must stay in a cage so their owners can clean the cage and feed them It is also safe to touch the tigers After all they are still wild animals at heart So pet tigers are most often kept for show Is that the kind of pet you would want
70 How many pet tigers are there in the US
A Nearly 120 B About 500 C About 600 D Over 1200
71 What will happen to most tigers kept in a cage when they grow up
A They produce fewer babies B They can be totally trusted
C They may be dangerous to humans D They get on well with humans
72 What does the writer probably think of keeping a pet tiger
