The Londoner decided to only buy food, drink and basic toiletries（洗漱用品）in 2019. Writing on Twitter Becky said she watched, with shame, plastic floating in the oceans and wondered how much was hers.‎ Therefore, aside from mascara（睫毛膏）, Becky did not buy anything she didn't need. That meant "no clothes, shoes, presents, other makeup, hair products, jewellery, bags, decorations, plants, flowers, house items etc."‎ Becky says that January to August were actually quite easy. And the money that she saved from not spending would be given to a selection of charities and grassroots organizations. Near the end of the year she ended up saving and donating £1,621.69, a sum far beyond her expectations.‎ But there were times when emergencies meant she had to buy something. On Twitter she said: "I bought 12 things during the year, for example, a new jacket when my zip broke while I was climbing a mountain, a couple of essential things for my very elderly cats and a couple of essential house items. Each one made me really annoyed!"‎ Happily, friends and family understood her challenge and supported her decision. And there were some things she really missed. Becky wrote, "The thing I missed the most was buying plants and flowers because I love nature. Solutions were growing flowers from seed (harder than it sounds but I tried!) and getting cuttings from friends (lovely thing to do). I now have rhubarb growing!"‎ 2. What's the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ A. Belly would not buy anything unnecessary.‎ B. Belly was ashamed of her previous behavior.‎ C. What caused Belly to challenge herself.‎ D. The show Blue Planet was really touching.‎ 2. What can we infer from the process of Belly's challenge?‎ A. She didn't buy anything for a whole year.‎ B. It wasn't always easy to stick to her decision.‎ C. She donated all her savings to charities.‎ D. The money saved lived up to her expectations.‎ 3. How did Belly feel when she had to buy things in emergencies?‎ A. Angry. B. Calm. C. Relaxed. D. Delighted.‎ 4. What did Belly do when she missed buying flowers?‎ A. She asked friends to grow flowers for her.‎ B. She just bought some once in a while.‎ C. Her family sent her some flowers at times.‎ D. She raised flowers from seeds herself.‎ C From raindrops in the Rockies to the very food on our plates, we've woven a complicated web for ourselves out of plastic. It's strong and flexible and cheap. It's also a great danger for the planet, though.‎ But new research from Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland suggests there may be a way to sort out this mess—with a little help from spiders, and our environmental heroes, trees.‎ In a paper published this month in Science Advances, the scientists claim to have developed a new material by sticking cellulose（纤维素）fibers from wood to the silk protein found in spider webs. The result? A strong, flexible material that could do everything plastic does better — except, of course, block up the planet. In other words, they dug into nature's cookbook to combine just the right ingredients to create a material that does all things plastic does — but what matters most is that, since it's entirely biodegradable（可生物降解的）, it goes back to nature when its job is done.‎ The bio-material is so effective, researchers are consider using it as a possible replacement for plastic in everything from the medical and textile industries to packaging. Then, how many hard-working spiders would we need to increase its production to that of plastic? For their research, the Finnish scientists didn't use a single thread of spider silk, but rather produced webbing from bacteria with synthetic（合成的）DNA.‎ ‎"Because we know the structure of the DNA, we can copy it and use this to produce silk protein molecules（分子）which are chemically similar to those found in spider web threads," lead researcher Markus Linder of Aalto‎ ‎University explains in the release. "The DNA has all this information contained in it."‎ 1. Why do the researchers develop the new material?‎ A. To find a cheaper way to produce plastic.‎ B. To make the web woven out of plastic stronger.‎ C. To make better use of the silk protein from spiders.‎ D. To solve the mess caused by using too much plastic.‎ 2. What's the advantage of the new material over plastic?‎ A. Highly-effective. B. Environment friendly.‎ C. Low-cost. D. Easy-to-produce.‎ 3. What makes it possible to increase the production of the new material?‎ A. Using synthetic DNA. B. Raising plenty of spiders.‎ C. Planting lots of trees. D. Introducing hard-working spiders.‎ 4. Which section of a website does the text probably belong to?‎ A. Fashion. B. Health. C. Science. D. Environment.‎ D What would life be like without music? Songs and tunes fill our lives, affecting our emotions, bringing back memories and sometimes making us dance. There is a song for everyone and for every occasion, but it seems that it's sad music that moves us most.‎ Sad music certainly does its job in making us depressed, emotional, and causing us to sob – it's something we might listen to after a break-up, for example. And a recent study has shown why some people are addicted to sad music. Professor David Huron from Ohio‎ State ‎University conducted the research and looked at the difference between people who love to listen to sad ‎ music and those who can't stand it.‎ He said that it comes down to prolactin（催乳素）, a natural hormone（激素）associated with breast-feeding. When people cry, they also release prolactin. And, there are circumstances in which prolactin seems to have comforting effect. It seems that people who like sad music are maybe getting too much prolactin, or more than is normal, and when they hear sad music, it gives them a good feeling. But if prolactin isn't released, or there isn't enough of it, some people find that sad sounds don't help to cheer them up.‎ Previous research by Durham University has also suggested that listening to sad music can trigger pain and sadness; but it can also provide comfort and even enjoyment. A high number of people they surveyed were cheered up by listening to sad songs. Though the feeling may not be exactly the same as happiness, it may be the ability to cope with the sadness that gives the feeling of comfort.‎ So, reacting to sad music on the radio may have nothing to do with the sad sound or a singer who's got the blues, but rather a natural chemical reaction taking place in our bodies.‎ 1. What's the finding of Professor David Huron's research?‎ A. Life will be dull without music.‎ B. Every occasion has its proper music.‎ C. Sad music makes people depressed.‎ D. Some people are keen on sad music.‎ 2. What determines whether sad music can cheer listeners up?‎ A. The tune of the music. B. The quantity of prolactin.‎ C. The type of the music. D. The performer's skills.‎ 3. What does the underlined word "trigger" in paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Remove. D. Increase.‎ 4. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Music Type—A Choice of Yourself B. Sad Music or Happy Music: Which is better?‎ C. Happy or Sad: What Type of Music Do You Like?‎ D. What Would Life Be Without Music?‎ 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 Learn a Foreign Language with Songs Learning a new language can be really tough sometimes and not few people give up before they see any promising results. 36 Follow these simple steps to get more fluent in no time!‎ ‎ 37 When seeking materials, one tends to buy what is above one's personal language level. The sad truth is that this kind of material contains too many new words and grammar items, which will just lower your motivation. Therefore, it is very important to choose material that suits your level of knowledge and vocabulary.‎ Know the meaning of each single word. 38 If you know what all the words in a song are supposed to mean, you can easily understand how the language works. Make sure to review this step, as it is easy to forget the meaning of the most unusual words.‎ Learn a song by heart. Have you ever had a school assignment to learn a poem by heart? Didn't you also get a deeper sense of understanding what the poet meant, after you learned it? 39 Once you know a song by heart and have a rough understanding of its meaning, in theory, you just put 30 to 50 new words into your long-term memory.‎ Sing the song often during your day. And enjoy learning it! Learning a song should be fun and give you insight into a different culture, explain to you what people of different countries care to sing about. If it is just simple, but not your type of music, then your progress will also slow down.‎ But always remember: Songs won't teach you key phrases like "Hello" or "Goodbye". Make sure to learn them in advance when travelling to a foreign country. 40 ‎ A. Know your level.‎ B. Choose good materials.‎ C. The same effect applies to music.‎ D. They will probably make up 90 percent of your initial conversation!‎ E. If you know the meaning of each word you can understand English fully.‎ F. This is especially important and sets you apart from normal fans and listeners of that foreign music.‎ G. Using songs to study is a great way to improve the vocabulary and the overall feeling for ‎ that language.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Levi is on the waitlist for a new kidney（肾）.
