Don't worry. Here are some useful tips. Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling.

How to Save Money B Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end. The classic film The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down. Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.” Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located. The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed. 24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special? A. It made room for new equipment. B.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater. C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It signaled the close down of the theater. 25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on? A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town. C. The theater owner found it suitable. D. The audience requested it. 26. What will probably happen to the building? A. It will be repaired. B.It will be knocked down. C. It will be turned into a museum. D. It will be sold to the city government. 27. What can we infer about the audience? A. They are sad to part with the old theater. B. They are disappointed with Bradford. C. They are supportive of the city officials. D. They are eager to have a shopping center. C The average American family will spend somewhere around $637 on back-to-school supplies for each elementary school child this year and twice that for a high school student. Add to that the fact that both children and parents feel anxious about the transition (过渡) of going back to school at the end of summer. For this, Jermaine Smith of Cleveland and four other barbers decided to cut hair for about 40 kids and teens for free last Saturday. In fact, Smith has been giving back to the community in other ways long before this weekend. He cuts hair by day, but in the evenings, after bringing his daughter home from school, he goes to work as a police officer. “A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I’m a police officer. They trust me because they think that I teach kids to do the right things in the barber shop. I always tell young men that they always get to stay neat and attractive, and people tend to treat them with respect,” Smith says. “When you get your hair cut, you look good and feel good.” Maybe a service that would only cost $15 regularly seems like just a drop in the bucket, but child and teen psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service. Other free haircut and school supply events have appeared unexpectedly all across the country this month, as organizers have recognized how much parents can use this extra help. Greenberg says, “One of the ways to make a transition easier is to make it fun and introduce something new or unusual, so the whole idea of getting a haircut makes kids feel special and important.” The haircuts were just part of the Start School on the Right Foot event, which also handed out about 50 backpacks full of school supplies. 28. Why did Jermaine Smith and other barbers cut hair for kids? A. To improve the community service. B. To prepare children for the competition. C. To help children and parents reduce anxiety. D. To provide back-to-school supplies for children. 29. Which of the following can best describe Jermaine Smith? A. Honest and generous. B. Creative and friendly. C. Grateful and thoughtful. D. Reliable and responsible. 30. What does Jermaine Smith want young people to do? A. Form a healthy lifestyle. B. Treat people with respect. C. Get along well with others. D. Leave a good impression on people. 31. What is Dr. Barbara Greenberg glad to see? A. More parents are willing to work together. B. More people take action to help kids in school. C. People amuse the little kids in school regularly. D. People try to make kids feel special and important. D After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing. Unlike regular gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, stand-alone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities. Every four-square-meter room is equipped with a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. There’s no shower or washbasin. Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by smartphone application, book a room in advance and then need to scan (扫描) a QR code for use. A refundable deposit (保证金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 0.2 yuan per minute. The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within two weeks since it was founded, the company has already got two rounds of funding valued over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports. The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent. Last December, the Shanghai-based technology company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings. The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident investors are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to contribute around 10% to the country’s GDP by 2020. 32. What makes the shared gym room different from the regular one? A. Offering open spaces. B. Standing in the living zone. C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment. 33. What can we learn about the shared gym room from the text? A. Users can have a shower in it after exercise. B. Users who want to use it need a smartphone. C. Users who use it first need to pay for 99.2 yuan. D. Users’ privacy can’t be protected while they are exercising. 34. What does the underlined word “nascent” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A. Simple. B. Popular. C. Satisfying. D. New. 35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To advertise a technology company. C. To predict the future of the sharing economy. D. To persuade people to support the sharing economy. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Speak in Meetings Making your voice heard is one way to gain respect in your school or workplace.

Take off his coat, please. Text 3 W: What about going to a movie this weekend, Henry? M: Sorry, Lisa, but I’m going to Lake Cumberland this weekend. It’s the largest lake in Kentucky. W: I know that. It is a major travel destination in the region. Text 4 W: Mike, I heard your car was being repaired yesterday. M: Yes. Actually it’s still being repaired today. W: So did you come to work by subway this morning? M: I planned to call a taxi, but Tom offered me a lift. His office is in the building across the street. Text 5 W: So where will you stay visiting Niagara Falls? M: Sheraton. It has summer rates starting at $161 with an indoor swimming pool that’s the largest in the area, and is within walking distance to many of the top attractions. W: It really sounds like a great place to stay at. Text 6 W: Hello. Business Center. This is Christine speaking. How may I help you? M: I’m in the main conference room and I’ve got a bit of a problem.

Then more and more people came there to chat and play games. Also, lots of entertainers gave their best shows. M: Sounds great! It seems that it was so popular. W: Yes, but it was not always like that. ⑫During the region of the royal family, it became a closed area to the public. M: It’s a pity! W: But, luckily, under the leadership of King Frederick V, it was developed and reopened to the public in the 18th century. That’s when more performers, businessmen, and rides slowly took over. M: Is it still open? W: Yes. It is still open today with different roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and other rides. Shall we visit it one day? M: Sounds great.

Text 10 W: In July, 2017, researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute placed a tracking collar on a young arctic fox believed to be less than one year old. ⑰The collar allowed them to use a satellite to track the fox no matter where she went. Until March 24, 2018, the fox stayed on the island of Spitzenberg. Then, suddenly, on March 26, she left the island, traveling across the sea ice. Just 21 days and about 940 miles later, she arrived in Greenland. From Greenland, ⑱she carried on, and finally reached Ellesmere Island in Canada on July 1, traveling over 2,175 miles in total. Scientists shows that it’s the longest journey the arctic fox has ever made. In fact, ⑲it was probably the moving sea ice that helped the fox travel so quickly on some of the days that she covered great distances. However, scientists are not sure what happened to the fox. ⑳Its tracking collar stopped working in February, 2019. So they don’t know the fate of the record-setting arctic fox.
