As poet Jalaluddin said,“Travel brings power and love back to your life.”However, their travel methods may be different every year. Lonely planet listed three top trends of 2019. Let’s take a look.‎ Solo travel Traditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that changed in 2019. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go. For some people, it also shows a better, more confident person, ready to solve anything. Traveling alone in a totally foreign land can be challenging. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Said Kristina, a traveler from the US.‎ Augmented(增广的) attractions World travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality, or VR and AR, are giving more possibilities to “travel” for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smart-phones and Wi-Fi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel, bringing the 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical sites to our homes. In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to “walk” its surface with just a headset. Paris’ famous museums, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology. This gives visitors more context and information about exhibits. With that, visitors can view a sea cow growing flesh before their eyes. These trends will help you beat the crowds and experience new kinds of travel. ‎ Getting off the beaten path In order to avoid the crowds, many liked to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies in 2019. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting upon small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Take a walk, ride a bike, drink coffee, take a deep breath and explore. 21. The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is . ‎ A. to introduce the travel trends of 2019 B. to encourage more people to travel C. to recommend travel hot spots D. to explain what makes a good trip ‎22. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Solo travelers are free to make their own decisions. B. Travelling alone benefits people a lot. ‎ C. NASA provided a real experience to Mars for people. D. VR and AR make it cheaper for people to “travel”.‎ ‎23. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Famous places are still popular with many travelers.‎ ‎ B. Many people begin to explore new ways of travelling.‎ ‎ C. Many people like to search for places online.‎ ‎ D. Less transportation of small towns causes inconvenience.‎ B You probably have not heard of Lu Zikuan, but recently the 11-year-old boy deeply touched Chinese netizens for donating his bone marrow (骨髓) to save his sick father and has returned to school in his hometown.‎ Lu Zikuan is just an ordinary boy from Huixian county, Henan province. On hearing about his father’s illness, the boy had a strong feeling that he should do something to help. He gained 15 kilograms in three months in order to meet the weight (at least ‎45 kg) required for an operation to save his father, who suffered from leukemia（急性白血病）and was in need of a bone marrow transplant. By filling his stomach with five meals a day, he ballooned to ‎45 kg from his original ‎30 kg since March, when the bone marrow was found to match that of his father.‎ On Sept 9, the operation went smoothly at a Peking University People’s Hospital branch in Qinghe, Beijing. His father is recovering from the transplant, and the boy has been out of hospital and on a diet. After putting on weight, even very little exercise would exhaust him and his inner thighs often got red and swollen when he walked. Now the boy has lost 4 kilograms since the operation, and he hopes to eventually get back to about ‎30 kg.‎ According to his father, Lu Zikuan never bothered him with his studies. His grades have always been within the top five, and he’s still class monitor. His teachers and classmates also spoke highly ‎ of him, “He is really the kind of boy we can depend on. Whenever we are in trouble, he is ready to help.”‎ When interviewed, the boy told the reporter, “It’s nothing. I just did what I should. If anyone else were in my position, they would definitely do the same thing.”‎ ‎24. What can we learn about Lu Zikuan?‎ ‎ A. He disappointed the Chinese netizens greatly. ‎ B. He tried to lose some weight to save his father.‎ C. He suffered little after gaining weight. ‎ D. He was found to match in bone marrow with his father.‎ ‎25. Which words can best describe Lu Zikuan?‎ ‎ A. Brave and reliable. B. Selfish and generous. ‎ C. Aggressive and ambitious. D. Courageous and outgoing.‎ ‎26. In which section of a newspaper can we find this passage?‎ A. Sports. B. News. C. Culture. D. Entertainment.‎ ‎27. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Leukemia—A Deadly disease B. The Life Story of Lu Zikuan C. A Successful Operation D. Brave Boy Saved His Father C The driver cuts you off in traffic. The neighbors don’t pick up after their dog. The insurance company keeps you waiting endlessly. Situations such as these get our hearts racing. Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us control the emotion, while others explode in a wild rage. Both habits affect our bodies, our minds, and our relationships. ‎ Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to get rid of their anger,” says Patrick, a psychologist in Calgary. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be solved.” When we take notice of that signal and actually realize the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it. ‎ Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to hide our emotions. Research suggests that this can have long-term effects on our health. Investigators show that people who suppress their emotions tend to have shorter life spans. They’re more likely to die earlier from cancer, for example. When we are angry, stress hormones (荷尔蒙) are released, which can make us develop a wide range of diseases, including diabetes and depression. Is it better, then, to scream whenever something makes you mad? That’s the theory behind the “rage rooms” that have appeared in many American cities, where folks are invited to express their anger by violently hitting stuff in a “safe” environment. “But the research indicates that when we display our anger aggressively, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger—and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future.” says Keelan. It doesn’t take much imagination to predict how anger can affect your relationships with your wives or husbands, your kids, or your coworkers. It also hurts your health. ‎ ‎28. What situation may make people angry?‎ A. Neighbors pick up their dogs’ waste. B. The insurance company timely offers service.‎ C. A driver doesn’t wait for his turn. D. A stranger helps when people get lost. ‎ ‎29. What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎ A. People should try their best to control their emotion.‎ ‎ B. Anger does good to our health sometimes.‎ ‎ C. Angry people never release stress hormones.‎ ‎ D. Anger is an emotion signaling something has been solved.‎ ‎30. What does the unlined word “suppress” in Para.3 mean?‎ ‎ A. affect B. develop C. control D. display ‎ ‎31. How does the writer express his viewpoint?‎ ‎ A. Subjectively. B. Pessimistically. C. Indifferently. D. Objectively.‎ D Scientists have long been doing research on dolphins and have made various interesting discoveries. Recently Ana Costa at the University of Glasgow in the UK and her team have found something new about one type of dolphins—Bottlenose dolphins.‎ Bottlenose dolphins can be found in mild and tropical waters throughout the world. They prefer coastal waters that are warm and shallow. However, Costa found bottlenose dolphins in South America may be separated into two different species, thanks to varying habitats between two groups of the animal. Along the coastlines of southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina in the South Atlantic Ocean, common bottlenose dolphins that live near the shore don’t look like those that are further out to sea. They are longer, lighter and have a triangular back fin, unlike the offshore dolphins’ shorter bodies, darker skin and hooked back fins. Apart from the differences mentioned above, the two kinds of common bottlenose dolphin also live differently from one another. Those near the coast form small groups in bays and mouth of rivers and don’t go too far from home, while those offshore live in pods of hundreds and move from time to time and seldom stay at the same place. ‎ When Ana Costa and her team looked at the dolphins’ bone framework, they found still more differences: the offshore dolphins had shorter and more plentiful vertebrae (脊椎) than the coastal variety. Costa and her colleagues collected more than 250 tissue samples from common bottlenose dolphins of both groups off Brazil’s coast and analyzed the DNA. The results suggest the dolphins may be going down different evolutionary paths, separating into two species. The genetic analysis found differences in a small portion of the dolphins’ genomes (基因组) that experience fast rates of change over evolutionary time. “All the findings so far are demonstrating that we are observing two dolphin groups in the process of speciation,” says Costa.‎ Despite those researches, so far scientists still can’t figure out the exact data of the existing bottlenose dolphins. Costa and her team are optimistic that one day they will be able to solve the puzzle and help save these endangered animals.‎ ‎32. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ A. The differences between two bottlenose species. B. The appearance of bottlenose dolphins.‎ C. The living habitats of bottlenose dolphins. D. The causes leading to the differences.‎ ‎33. What may cause bottlenose dolphins to separate into two species? ‎ A. Their length. B. Their weight. C. Their vertebrae. D. Their evolutionary paths.‎ ‎34. What can we conclude from the passage?‎ A. All bottlenose dolphins live near the coast and have similar habits. ‎ B. The discovery of Costa may make a difference to bottlenose dolphins.‎ C. Bottlenose dolphins often prefer to live in cold waters that are deep.‎ D. These two dolphin species are not social and live individually.‎ ‎35. What does the passage talk about?‎ A. An endangered animal—dolphins. B. Costa’s new discovery about bottlenose dolphins.‎ C. The living environment of bottlenose dolphins. D. The importance of Costa’s new discovery.‎ 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。‎ Nowadays facial recognition technology has crept into people’s life and is being commonly used. How does the technology work? Who uses this technology? In which areas is it applied? What are people worried about? 36 . ‎ How does facial recognition work? 37 This creates a distinctive digital “face-print”— much like a fingerprint. The system then runs through a database to check it for a match. ‎ Who are its users? Facial recognition is most common in China, where people can use it to pay for a coffee, visit tourist attractions, and even withdraw cash from ATMs. 38 . In Europe, high-end hotels and retailers also use facial recognition cameras to identify VIPs and celebrities as they enter, in order to give them good treatment. Several US airlines are looking to replace boarding passes with face scanners. ‎ Where is facial recognition used? Many people know that facial recognition is being used in shops and high-speed train stations. But these are only the tip of the iceberg. Law agencies have had faces on file for decades. Their databases provide them with the identified person’s name, age, address and any criminal history. Doctors have already started using it to help them diagnose rare genetic diseases that produce distinctive facial characteristics. 39 Facebook’s system for “tagging” a photo — identifying who is in the picture — is now as accurate as users doing it themselves. Apple’s new iPhone X can be unlocked when its owner simply looks at it. ‎ ‎ 40 As the technology becomes more widespread, there are growing fears that it will invade privacy and cause other troubles, thus putting people at risk. Like any new tool, if it gets into the wrong hands, it can be used for ill purposes.‎ A. However, Chinese are not the only people using it.‎ B. The following are things people should pay attention to when using this technology.‎ C. Here are some of the answers to the questions that most people are interested in.‎ D. What are people’s concerns?‎ E. It works by scanning faces and measuring facial features. ‎ F. Facial recognition is increasingly being used by commercial firms too.‎ G. We should think twice before putting this technology into use. ‎ 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。‎ Last summer, Katie pulled off the road on her way to work.
