‎1、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。‎ Since the 1980s eco-tourism has grown and grown. It is the fastest growing type of tourism.‎ If done well, eco-tourism has several advantages. It is kinder to the environment. 1 .This means that more natural habitat is protected and that the resources for building come from sustainable (可持续的) sources．Another advantage is that people in the developed world through eco-tourism get to experience places of great natural importance as well as communicating with local people. 2 .‎ However, there are some disadvantages of eco-tourism. It is felt by some environmentalists that any human activity will cause disorder in the routine of animals. 3 .‎ Another problem for local people is that they are expected to pose for cameras and dance etc. for money. 4 .The tourists are destroying the culture that they are paying to protect.‎ Eco-tourism tries to go to the places far away from other communities. 5 .There is nothing stopping people taking money from tourists as well as doing environmentally unfriendly activities.‎ It seems that the disadvantages often outweigh the advantages of eco-tourism. It might be better to take pictures of animals rather than kill animals, but given the choice the animals would sooner not have people around. It seems whether eco-tourism should be allowed should be judged case-by-case, and that the local people must be considered.‎ A. These places are often not well policed.‎ B. People walking through the forest may do much harm.‎ C. And these activities will also damage the eco-system.‎ D. It seldom ends people to untouched parts of the world.‎ E. This is good for both parties: they both can better understand each other.‎ F. And it encourages developers to consider the natural environment more.‎ G. It discourages the local people from pursuing their traditional life styles.‎ ‎2、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。‎ It could happen anywhere at any time. 1 Most people, at one time or another, have been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness. In a sometimes cold world where people can be so focused on what they’re doing, a random act of kindness can make all the difference.‎ They can be relatively insignificant．Hannah Bailey from London，for example, told the Metro newspaper about how she was given her fruit and vegetable shopping for free. The seller did her a kindness when it emerged she didn’t have any change to pay. 2 ‎ The city of Naples has long had a tradition called ‘caffè sospeso’.When buying coffee, a person who has recently been lucky would purchase two cups but only drink one, leaving the second one anonymously(匿名), out of the goodness of their heart, for a poor person to claim for free. 3 ‎ However, in some cases, these little acts can be a matter of life and death. Take for example, the unnamed commuter, who in June 2018 fell off a station platform onto an electric railway track in Toronto, Canada. A quick-thinking, hut even now unknown, bystander selflessly leapt down to pull him to safety.‎ So, why do it? 4 The people never meet again. According to UK charity The Mental Health Foundation，acts like these can “give our lives new purpose，show us other perspectives on our own problems and even make us feel content.”‎ ‎ 5 Hold open a door for someone, deliver a compliment—even give up your seat on a bus. Help someone who is in need. It takes all kinds. It needn’t be anything huge. One day, whether you need it or not, someone might help you in your hour of need.‎ A．So give it a try.‎ B．Be brave to face challenges.‎ C．Often, the acts aren’t paid back.‎ D．She was happy about it all day.‎ E．She was in low spirits the whole day.‎ F．This tradition is now more common worldwide.‎ G．It’s often unexpected, but almost never unappreciated.‎ ‎3、   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。‎ What is bitcoin?‎ ‎    Bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, which means it doesn’t exist as banknotes. At first, bitcoins were only made for collectors ①__________ You can store it in an online “wallet”. And with that wallet, you can spend bitcoin online and in the physical world for goods and services. More and more businesses, restaurants and universities included, accept payments in bitcoins. And, of course, bitcoin has a valuation, which you may have heard about because bitcoin’s price has fluctuated up and down.‎ ‎    What’s different about bitcoin?‎ ‎    ②__________ That card is connected to information about you, such as your name and billing address. You can use bitcoin the same way, but unlike with a credit card, the trades you make with the currency are completely anonymous(匿名的).

It’s quick and easy to set up a bitcoin account. It’s fast—it only takes a few minutes to transfer your payments ⑤__________‎ ‎    Possibly, Bitcoin has certainly gained fame in the news media as a technology that can result in crime. But even though the identities of people in a bitcoin trade may be hidden, the public ledger has increasingly helped law trace the movement of bitcoins from place to place.‎ A. What makes the bitcoin currency unique?‎ B. Another way of exchanging g bitcoins is at ATMs.‎ C. So you can use bitcoin to protect your privacy.‎ D. It’s cheap—trade fees are usually zero, or less than 1 US cent.‎ E. Usually, if you pay for something on the Internet, you use a credit or debit card.‎ F.

Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods. ①__________And our society has lately emphasized(强调)the importance of diversity.‎ ‎    ②__________Take the following old proverbs for example.  ‎ ‎    “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” Thomas Jefferson, American President ‎    “One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.” African proverb ‎    “Be honest to those who are honest, and be also to those who are not honest.” Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher ‎    “A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat.” Hindu saying ‎     ③__________These seems to be a sort of cultural unity.‎ ‎    We don’t wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps ‎ some cultures make room for extenuating(情有可原)circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them.   ④__________But both cultures may still value both.‎ ‎    To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding – a human culture, if you will – that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. ⑤ __________.‎ A. All people seem to agree that we should tell the truth.‎ B. As cultures meet with each other, many differences stand out.‎ C. Each value supports many more sayings from different cultures.‎ D. We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.‎ E. These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value – honesty.‎ F. It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same – we are just people.‎ G. In other words, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.  ‎ ‎5、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎  America’s holiday shopping season started on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.① __________Shoppers make the most money this time of year, about 20 percent to 30 percent of all revenue all year. About 136 million people shopped during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend.‎ ‎    ②__________In an era of instant information, shoppers can use their mobile phones to find deals.

Cyber Monday spending increased 12 percent to $3 billion. NBC News reported that for many, shopping online was a more comfortable alternative than crowded malls.‎ ‎    The shift to online shopping has had a big impact on solid shopping malls.

That is the highest level in 27 years.‎ ‎    The average American consumer will spend about $805 on gifts. That’s about $630.5 billion between November and December – an increase of 3.7 percent from last year.‎ ‎     ⑤__________That goes to China’s Singles’ Day, celebrated on November 11, which posted record sales of $14.3 billion in 2015.‎ A.More and more people shop online nowadays.‎ B.However, the business in malls is thriving again, it adds.‎ C.It is the busiest shopping day of the year.‎ D.One-in-five Americans used a tablet or smart-phone.‎ E.The traditional mall industry can hardly survive.‎ F.Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday.‎ G.However, Cyber Monday is not the biggest online shopping day in the world.‎ ‎6、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 COULD CHINA FIGHT BACK?‎ ‎   US President Donald Trump said Thursday he had asked the US Trade Representative to consider collecting 100 billion US dollars worth of additional tariffs (关税) on China imports. The headline Chinese publication Global Times says ‘nothing good’ would come out of a trade war with President Trump, and has warned that China could fight back.‎ ‎   So what could China do? Well here are a few options:‎ ‎    1)①__________‎ ‎    China says the US tariffs are bad for global trade and has already said that it will work with other WTO members to defend itself.‎ ‎    2)②__________‎ ‎    Last May, the US and China signed a deal to allow, among other things, the comeback of US beef exports to China after 14 years. But there are specific requirements from the Chinese that US beef companies need to stick to.‎ ‎    3) Tell Chinese customers not to buy American cars ‎   China is the world’s biggest passenger car market.

They spend something like $260bn (£185.2bn) a year when they travel, and the US has also benefited. So the US could lose out if Beijing says America is a non-ideal place to travel to.‎ ‎    5)④__________‎ ‎    China owns more than a $1tn of US debt.

Limit US beef imports C. Negotiate with US government D. Submit complaints to the World Trade Organization E. China is also consistently among the top five export markets for US cars and car parts F. If a trade war between the two countries broke out, it wouldn’t just be Beijing and the US losing out.‎ G. But the truth is even if China did sell US debt, it would most likely be picked up by other countries.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 答案以及解析 ‎1、答案及解析：‎ 答案：FECGA 解析：略 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2、答案及解析：‎ 答案：GDFCA 解析： 略 ‎ ‎ ‎3、答案及解析：‎ 答案：F; E; C; A; D 解析：略 ‎ ‎ ‎4、答案及解析：‎ 答案：B; D; E; G; F 解析：略 ‎ ‎ ‎5、答案及解析：‎ 答案：C; A; D; B; G 解析：略 ‎ ‎ ‎6、答案及解析：‎ 答案：D; B; E; A; G 解析：略 ‎ ‎
