Read on to find the answer.‎ Venice This iconic city is sinking rapidly. The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise ‎2mm every year, making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture. Experts warn that without intervention(干预), this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate, consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps.‎ Machu Picchu These iconic ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of South America.The forces of natural erosion(侵蚀)have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic. The Peruvian government recently suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins, making the site instantly accessible to millions but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain.‎ Glacier National park Perhaps you've heard that the ice caps are melting. But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park.Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades.‎ The Great Barrier Reef Hidden from view beneath the waves, the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off.‎ ‎ Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone,destroyed by pollution and disease.‎ ‎21．What can we learn about Machu Picchu?‎ A．It's famous for cable cars. B．It bears a heavy burden of tourism.‎ C．It's well preserved by the locals. D．It has no convenient traffic.‎ ‎22．Which place probably needs visitors to dive into the water to enjoy its beauty?‎ A．Venice. B．Machu Picchu.‎ C．The Great Barrier Reef.

He said: “The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people fail many more times than unsuccessful people.” I personally experienced its wisdom right after my first book was published. Like many authors, I expected hundreds of bookstore customers lining up for me to sign copies for them. I’m afraid to say, it didn’t quite happen like that.‎ My first signing was arranged at the largest book store in the city. Filled with anticipation, I was put into a private signing room in the beautiful store. However, not a single customer entered the room. As each minute passed, I became increasingly anxious.‎ After 90 minutes of long waiting I was absolutely distraught.‎ For the four years writing the book. I had felt a sense of mission and purpose like never before in my life. Working a full 8-hour day in my clinic. I had to get into bed by 9:30 pm every day, so I could wake up at 5:‎30 in the morning and have two hours of writing before heading into my clinic. Before I ever began each writing session, I would close my eyes for 10 minutes and then whisper, “Please allow me the words to touch just one person’s life.”‎ Now sitting there alone at my first book signing, I wondered if my entire life wasn’t just a big joke. At that moment, just when I couldn't feel any worse, a middle-aged couple walked into the ‎ room. I managed to hide my emotions and introduced myself and my book. The couple turned to each other, and the husband nodded to his wife. She then told me, “I think we’ll get the book.”‎ ‎“We’re buying it,” she said hesitantly, "because we lost our son two years ago. Maybe your story will help us get over it.”‎ At that moment, I knew if I never sold another copy of the book, my four years of writing it had served its purpose. Although I would have many more challenging years until my book caught on and sold well, this couple’s story was all the motivation I needed at that point to keep me moving ahead.‎ ‎24．The writer quotes Brian Tracy to stress the importance of __________‎ A．persistence B．success C．confidence D．wisdom ‎25．The underlined word "distraught" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________‎ A．hopeful and eager B．cheerful and proud C．upset and disappointed D．bored and impatient ‎ ‎26．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?‎ A．The writer had to quit his job to make time for his writing.‎ B．The writer was not sure about the purpose of his writing at first.‎ C．The process of writing the book was full of pains and frustration.‎ D．The writing was completed with great self-discipline(自律) and efforts.‎ ‎27．Why does the author say “my four years of writing it had served its purpose” in the last paragraph?‎ A．Because he had succeeded in selling the first book to the couple.‎ B．Because he had managed to touch someone’s life with his book.‎ C．Because he was quite satisfied with the feedback of his readers.‎ D．Because he had found someone who appreciated his writing.‎ C At one point in June last year, Zeng Jinpeng was more than 10,000 yuan in debt to a smart phone app. The 23-year-old Shanghai citizen pays for his online purchases of food, clothes, and travel with Huabei, a virtual credit card that's part of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s spreading stable of e-commerce. His spending often used to go beyond his only source of income: the 8,000-yuan monthly allowance from his parents. He tried to repay the debt in ‎ installments(分期付款), even borrowing from Jiebei, another Alibaba-owped credit service, but eventually his mother and father had to help him out.‎ Zeng's story is typical of members of China's Generation Z. These young consumers, born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, have little income and therefore actually no credit history. Yet they have easy access to credit from a variety of banks, financial-tech companies, and peer-to-peer (P2P) Jenders (网络借贷平台), plus other channels that are unregulated. The spending habits of the young in particular are causing concern. In some cases the younger generation is being tempted to overconsume via credit secured through technology. Unsecured consumer leading has expanded 20% a year in China since 2008.The amount of consumer finance available through the Internet will more than double, to 19 trillion yuan, by 2021, from 7.8 trillion yuan last year. Official data showed that almost 70%.of China’s 50 million P2P borrowers were younger than 40.‎ As for Zeng, he's trying to be a little more frugal, even though he is now trying to earn a little by himself. "I deliberately set the credit limit at a lower level," he say, "so that hopefully I can better match my income with spending."‎ Regulators(监管部门)last year launched a breakdown on peer-to-peer lending, which, besides being a source of easy credit, had also become a popular investment tool. The sector has shrunk to less than half its peak size as a result of forced shutdowns.‎ ‎28．What can we learn about Zeng Jiapeng from the first paragraph?‎ A．He was in debt because he bought smart phone app.‎ B．He liked purchasing on the app Huabei of Alibaba Group.‎ C．He depended on his parents to support him to repay his debt.‎ D．He always spent more than he earned from his salary in the past.‎ ‎29．Which of the following words best describes China's online consumer finance?‎ A．Crazy. B．Hopeless. C．Controlled. D．Reasonable.‎ ‎30．What does the underlined word "frugal" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?'‎ A．impractical. B．avoiding waste. C．hardworking. D．relying on others.‎ ‎31．Which of the following can be the best title?.‎ A．Overconsumption—A Bad Habit ‎ B．Zeng Jinpeng’s Financial Crisis ‎ C．Chinese Youth In the E-commerce Age ‎ D．China’s Generation Z—Hooked On Credit D As spring arrives, farmers around the world are making decisions about what crops to plant and how to manage them. In the U. S., farmers typically have big data to help make these decisions. These data have a clear upside. They make farms more productive. In the U.S., the past five years have seen a series of good harvests for both corn and soybean. A big part is generated by effectively using data to produce more food from the same amount of land, seed and fertilizer.‎ In the poorer parts of the world, however, the picture is much different. Many farmers are guided only by their history with the land and their community's traditions. Their skills and knowledge are impressive, but they suffer from a poverty of data. They rely on technical advisors for advice from governments and academic centers who often have very little knowledge of the local area. For seeds and fertilizers and other materials used in the field, they rely on companies that lack data on how their products will perform in the local conditions.‎ About 10 years ago, East African officials and their development partners started to explore why so few smallholder dairy farmers made profits from growing demand from urban consumers. Surveys of farmers in the region suggested poor access to veterinary(禽畜的) care and breeding assistance. An effort to provide these services has helped farmers get more milk.‎ Data would matter little if farming was easy and the paths to productivity were obvious. But in reality, agriculture is a complex mix of many factors, including climate, biology, chemistry, physics, economics and culture—all of which vary from region to region. In this situation, good data is necessary.‎ ‎32．How has big data benefited American's farmers?‎ A．By informing the farmers to plant crops earlier. ‎ B．By increasing the amount of land for farming. ‎ C．By producing more seeds and fertilizer.‎ D．By helping make farms more productive.‎ ‎33．What do farmers in poor countries need to improve their farming?‎ A．Farming skills. B．Big data. C．Technical guidance. D．Farming materials ‎34．Why does the writer mention the case of East Africa?‎ A．To serve as an example of how data helps farmers in poor areas.‎ B．To show that East Africa relies heavily on diary farming.‎ C．To illustrate cooperation between countries was a great success.‎ D．To prove that city people in East Africa didn't like drinking milk.‎ ‎35．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．East African dairy farmers were experienced in raising cows.‎ B．The American farmers can't decide what they will plant.‎ C．The technical advisors in poor areas know the local areas well.‎ D．Many changeable factors have influence on farming.‎ 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。‎ ‎ Internet addiction is a common problem that can be just as damaging as any other form of addiction. 36． There are several ways to help reduce your internet trouble.‎ ‎37． Exercising, reading a book, writing, studying, knitting, and doing crossword puzzles are all better alternatives to mindlessly surfing the internet. If you want to cut back on how often you are using the internet but aren’t sure what to do with the extra time, identify a few activities that you enjoy and pick one to do instead when you’re feeling the urge to go online.‎ You can also use relaxation techniques to reduce stress and anxiety，for example, yoga, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and deep breathing.38． Therefore, instead of reaching for your smart phone or laptop when you are feeling stressed, try using one of these techniques to calm yourself. ‎ Besides, you can reach out to friends and family to build more interpersonal connections.39． If you’re eager for social interaction, call up a friend and make plans to do something fun, or arrange a family dinner or game night.‎ Finally, watch for signs of internet addiction and seek help if you notice them. If you are concerned about becoming addicted to the internet, staying aware of the signs of internet addiction may prevent the situation from getting worse.40． Besides, immediate action is always the top priority.‎ A．Sometimes you are just lonely.‎ B．You can go for a walk in nature.‎ C．Too worried about it?‎ D．Anyway, every little adds up.‎ E. You may fall back into the habit again.‎ F.They are all great ways to relax.‎ G.You can do some healthy activities instead.‎ 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。‎ For the past ten years, my dad and I have attended the same school--- he as an administrator and I as a student.
