This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成份). New branches of Steve’s are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.‎ Opening hours: 11am-3am Cattleman’s Steakhouse This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.‎ Opening hours: 5pm-10pm Absolute Baking & Café The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs--it’s made from scratch, as are the organic(有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake.‎ Opening hours: 7am-2pm Walt’s Wharf Everybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.‎ Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm ‎21.The new branches of Steve’s Pizza are mainly intended for .‎ A. New Yorkers B. tourists C. the locals D. foreigners 22.Cattleman’s Steakhouse offers the wonderful _ as well as good food.‎ A. wine B. view C. discount D.service ‎ ‎23.Which restaurant serves both breakfast and lunch?‎ A. Steve’s Pizza. B. Walt’s Wharf.‎ C. Absolute Baking & Café. D. Cattleman’s Steakhouse.‎ B Every week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee. In this challenge, young competitors must write ‎ Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.‎ Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy( 书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.‎ But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.‎ In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.‎ 24. What can we learn about the Character Hero?‎ A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.‎ B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.‎ C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.‎ D. It draws great public attention across the country.‎ 25. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?‎ A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.‎ B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.‎ C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.‎ D.Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology. ‎ ‎26.According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.‎ A. necessary for adults to survive in China B. a requirement made by the Education Ministry C. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive D.an ability to be developed only when you are students ‎ ‎27.Where does this text probably come from?‎ A. A news report. B. A science report.‎ C. An advertisement. D. Children’s literature. ‎ ‎ C When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia(费城)-area high schools to close due to fear of novel corona-virus(冠状病毒) exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped. But still, the transition from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. “I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said. The corona-virus(冠状病毒) has upended (颠倒) everyone’s lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习), are up in the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time of unprecedented unemployment rates is no easy task. But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, grappling (斗争) with misinformation (假消息), and figuring out the best ways they can help – through online method. For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a “social distancing pledge (承诺) ” for young people. “I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention,” he said. “They were ... still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news.” Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who’d signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Going from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated at home all day wasn’t easy,” said Harycki. “We’ve definitely had times when we feel kind of bored at home,” he said. “We’re very social beings, and we’re used to having that school experience.” Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connect with their friends ‎ in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to reinforce (强调) that while everyone might be physically distant, they’re still connected. “Part of what we’re highlighting is that you might feel like you’re the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “jarring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. natural         B. disturbing       C. necessary        D. reasonable ‎29. Why does the author describe Andrew Chen’s experience in the text? A. To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.  B. To present the different views of students toward the corona-virus. C. To show how the corona-virus affected students’ lives. D. To explain what worried students most when schools closed.‎ ‎30. Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to?   A. Friends who are worried and bored. B. Younger generations trying to contribute. C. Young people not aware of the situation. D. Folks taking the corona-virus seriously. ‎ ‎31. What’s Harycki’s purpose in creating the “social distancing pledge”? A. To convince young people to make contribution to the pandemic control. B. To track those infected with the corona-virus. C. To inform young folks of latest news about the corona-virus. D. To show young people that they are still connected though staying at home separately.‎ ‎ D ‎ Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板)can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿)can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.‎ Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable (可持续的)development manager for Skanska. They work perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.‎ For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has ‎ been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.‎ ‎32. What do we know about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?‎ A．It’s delicate.‎ B．It’s complex.‎ C．It’s flexible.‎ D．It’s expensive.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ A．Skanska and Adam Targowski. B．Malinkiewicz and Skanska.‎ C．Soleil Technologies. D．Perovskite panels.‎ ‎34. What can we infer from the last paragraph A．It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.‎ B．Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.‎ C．Perovskite has been studied for decades.‎ D．Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A．To explain how to use perovskite panels.‎ B．To introduce perovskite panels.‎ C．To advertise a new solar power cell.‎ D．To propose scientists to further study perovskiet cells.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）七选五 Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?‎ We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 36 According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good.‎ ‎ 37 If the air you’re breathing is clean-which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors，your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.‎ Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）. 38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood（情绪）.Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39 It gives us a great feeling of peace.‎ ‎ 40 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about ‎ fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.‎ A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.‎ B. So what are you waiting for?‎ C. Being in nature refreshes us.‎ D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.‎ E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?‎ F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.‎ G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.‎ 完形填空 Ten years ago, Sean Carter was a student at university.

While they are rare north of 88°,there is evidence 1 they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada. It is difficult to figure out a global population of polar bears as much of the range has been 2 (poor) studied; however, biologists calculate that there are about 20,000-25,000 polar bears worldwide.‎ Modem methods 3 tracking polar bear populations have been employed only since the mid-1980s,and are expensive 4 (perform) consistently over a large area. In recent years some Inuit people in Nunavut 5 (report) increases in bear sightings around human settlements, leading to a 6 (believe) that populations are increasing. Scientists have responded by 7 (note) that hungry bears may be congregating(聚集) around human settlements, leading to the illusion(错觉) that populations are 8 (high) than they actually are. Of 9 nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six 10 (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.‎ 词义猜测 根据句意选出划线部分合适的意思（每题1分，共10分，涂到答题卡上） ‎ ‎61.
