The students, aged 14 to 17, were joined by 12 experienced crew members and three teachers. They had been taking part in an educational voyage of the Caribbean when the extreme weather forced them to greatly change the way they returned home.‎ Instead of flying back home from Cuba as they had planned, the crew members and students gathered supplies and warm clothes. Then, they set sail for the Dutch port city of Harlingen, 7,000 kilometers away. Their boat, the Wylde Swan, arrived at Harlingen late Sunday morning. Observers gathered at a sea wall to watch the arrival.‎ As they arrived, the students hung up a self-made sign on the boat that read "Bucket List". It showed they had completed activities that included crossing the Atlantic Ocean, mid-ocean swimming and surviving the Bermuda Triangle, an area in the Atlantic where some people declare ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared. The students' family members were waiting for them at the port.‎ Masterskip, the company that organized the boat trip, runs five educational voyages for about 150 students each year. Crossing the Atlantic is nothing new for the Wylde Swan, which has made the trip about 20 times. The company's director, Christophe Meijer, said he was pleased the students had adapted to life on the boat and had kept up their education on the long trip. "They are actually far ahead now of their Dutch school students," Meijer said, "They have made us very proud."‎ ‎24. Why didn't the group return home as planned?‎ A.

How long has Masterskip been organizing educational voyages?‎ A. For about 4 years. B. For about 5 years.‎ C. For about 14 years. D. For about 20 years.‎ ‎26. What does Christophe Meijer think of the trip?‎ A. Adventurous. B. Tiresome. C. Worthwhile. D. Amusing.‎ ‎27. What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A. Teenagers survived mysterious Bermuda Triangle.‎ B. Dutch students completed a trip across the Atlantic Ocean.‎ C. Masterskip organized educational voyages for students.‎ D. Dutch students experienced a new way of entertainment.‎ C Researchers have used high technology methods to learn secrets about a famous painting Girl with Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Vermeer is considered one of the masters of art in the 1600s. The researchers' tests haven't discovered the identity of the mysterious girl in the painting. But they have found out important information about how Vermeer did the painting.‎ A careful examination of very small pieces of paint showed where some of the painting's pigments （颜料）came from. The white that helps form the earring comes from lead from the Peak District in northern England. The blue is made from a valuable stone found in Afghanistan. The red is made from insects that live on cactus plants in Mexico and South America.‎ Abbie Vandivere was leader of the research project. She expressed surprise that Vermeer used so much blue in the painting, noting, "This blue pigment was more valuable than gold in the 17th century. Vermeer, however, didn't have to travel the world to get his materials. He most likely bought them in his hometown of Delft.‎ ‎"The research findings don't just show details about Vermeer's materials," said Vandivere, "but also tell us about world trade in the 17th century." The research also uncovered the order in which Vermeer painted the girl on a piece of cloth. Infrared imaging （红外成像）showed that Vermeer began making the work using brown and black paint。. He then drew the girl's outline in black lines before working from the green background to the foreground.‎ A statement on the museum's website describes the woman as imaginary. "The painting is not a portrait （‎ 肖像）,but a painting of an imaginary figure," the website says.‎ ‎28. What have the researchers found?‎ A. A master of art of the 17th century.‎ B. The way Vermeer drew the painting.‎ C. The identity of the girl in the painting.‎ D. A famous painting by Johannes Vermeer.‎ ‎29. Where was the white paint produced?‎ A. In England. B. In Afghanistan. C. In Mexico. D. In America.‎ ‎30. Why was Abbie surprised?‎ A. The painting was in good condition.‎ B. Vermeer bought the paints abroad.‎ C. The blue pigment was more valuable than gold.‎ D. Valuable blue pigment was used a lot in the painting.‎ ‎31. What's the best title for the text?‎ A. High Technology Used to Test Paintings B. Steps to Paint Girl with a Pearl Earring C. Secrets of a Famous Painting Discovered D. A Famous Painter Named Johannes Vermeer D People who drink a lot of sugary drinks have a high risk of developing cancer, researchers announced last week. However, the evidence cannot yet establish a direct connection between the two. Drinking sugary drinks has become more common worldwide in the last several decades. Sugar drinks are linked to the condition of being extremely overweight, which increases a person's cancer risk.‎ The study looked at data from just over 100,000 French adults — 21 percent of them men and 79 percent women. The researchers noted how many sugary drinks each of them had, and followed them for up to nine years — between 2009 and 2018. The researchers measured their risk for all types of cancer, such as breast, colon and prostate cancers.‎ The researchers adjusted for other possible cancer risks in each individual, including age, sex, educational level, family history, smoking and physical activity levels. They found that a 100-milliliter increase in sugary drinks was linked to an 18 percent increased risk of overall cancer and a 22 percent increased risk of breast cancer.‎ The researchers looked at those who drank fruity juices and those who drank other sweet drinks. Both groups, they found, showed a higher risk of cancer overall. For prostate and colon cancers, no link was found. The researchers said this might have been because there were only a limited number of cases of these cancers in the study group.‎ Amelia Lake, an expert at Britain's Teesside University, said while this study doesn't provide a clear cause and effect between sugar and cancer, it does add to the importance of efforts to reduce sugar intake. Many countries, including Britain, France and Mexico, have introduced taxes on sugar with the aim of improving people's health.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word "establish" in paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Confirm. B. Deny. C. Spread. D. Affect.‎ ‎33. What do we know about the study?‎ A. It took over ten years to carry out the research.‎ B. The subjects of the study are mainly British.‎ C. More evidence is needed to support the result.‎ D. Some countries are doubtful about the study.‎ ‎34. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Fruity juices are not related to cancer.‎ B. Amelia Lake doesn't agree with the study.‎ C. Men are more likely to develop cancer.‎ D. Sugary drinks may increase the risk of cancers.‎ ‎35. In which section of a magazine might the text appear?‎ A. Business. B. Health. C. Environment. D. Culture.‎ 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。‎ Motivational Tips for Students Sometimes, students see homework as a meaningless task with a single aim to cause them stress, consume their free time and exercise their brain cells.
