Before he could even realize what had happened, the boat started taking water and eventually sank. All John could retrieve  was a ring buoy(救生圈) and his backpack, but he wasn’t too worried at first, as he figured he could swim his way back to land. However, try as he might, he couldn’t fight the currents(洋流）, which constantly pushed him out into the open sea. By 10pm,he could no longer see the shore, and he stared panicking. For the next four days, he was all alone, with no food and drinking water.‎ ‎“If you you’re your head up, out in the pen , you get burnt , which means a burning feeling on your face ,”Low said in an interview.”The only way to avoid that is to put your face in the water. But because my face is all scarred, for I had been in the water for four days and three nights, so it’s either I face the pain in the sun or the pain in the water. Though the physical torture(折磨) and mental torture of being by myself with nothing but salt water continued increasing, I hung on and stood the pain, not for myself but for my family." On the fourth night of his experience, a passing ship called the Diogo Cao noticed the buoy ‎ and lifted it. He nearly lost his consciousness(意识). All he could remember from his rescue was thinking "I am saved, now I can sleep". ‎ Luckily, he has made a full recovery after two days in hospital and recently met the crew of the Diogo Cao to thank them for saving his life.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word "retrieve" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Pray. B. Require. C. Check. D. Find ‎25. What made John Low start to feel afraid? A. The pain in the water. B. Being away from the shore. C. The burning feeling. D. Being pushed by the wave.‎ ‎26. What can we mow about John Low when he was saved? A. He was sound asleep. B. He greeted the ship warmly C. He was half dead. D. He lost the ability to speak.‎ ‎27. How did John Low feel about being saved by the crew of the ability to speak A. Grateful B. Excited. C. Inspired. D. Doubtful.‎ C Researchers at the University of Maryland have re-designed the material to make it entirely not affected to light, while only absorbing the slightest levels of light. Rather than absorbing sunlight, the new wood could bounce it right back into the environment. In effect,homes made from this material would be able to prevent almost all heat from going indoors potentially easing our reliance on air conditioning in summer months.‎ ‎"Reducing human dependence on energy-inefficient cooling methods such as air conditioning would have a large effect on the global energy landscape(观）,"the researchers note in the study. To make that kind of "cooling" wood, scientists used hydrogen peroxide to get rid of the lignin(木质素), a support part in the cell walls of trees.‎ What’s more, the lignin-free wood allows heat produced indoors to escape. That’s ecause indoor heat occupies a slightly different wavelength than your garden variety sunlight-a wavelength that doesn’t get repulsed(排斥) by the new wood. So by day, the sun’s heat is kept, and at night, indoor heat enters the environment, although the team admits this could be a problem when it comes to actually keeping heat indoors.‎ What else can be known about wood made entirely of cellulose(纤维素)? It’s unbelievably strong. The University of Maryland team claims the new wood packs an extendable strength of around 404 megapascals(兆帕), or more than eight times that of natural wood. That uts it somewhere in the neighborhood of steel.‎ ‎"Wood has been used for thousands of years and has appeared as an important sustainable(可持续性的) building material to potentially replace steel and concrete because of its economic and environmental advantages,"authors note.‎ ‎ That kind of strength, in addition to the insulation(绝缘) aspect, could make the new wood a solid candidate for transforming the concrete and steel jungle of a city into something closer to a real jungle.‎ ‎28. Why can the new wood stop heat entering the house?‎ A. It fails to absorb any sunlight. B. It is equipped with a cooling system.‎ C. It can reflect the light back into the air. D. It is mainly made up of a new kind of lignin.‎ ‎29.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The high strength of steel. ‎ B. The type of the natural wood. C. The difficulty in using steel. ‎ D. The advantage of the new wood.‎ ‎30.What can we infer about the new wood from the last paragraph? bushy. A. It is stronger than the steel. B. It is environment-friendly. C. It has been used in abundance. D. It will make cities quite bushy.‎ ‎31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?‎ ‎ A. Science. B. Health. C. Agriculture. D. Education.‎ D With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the delivery process. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August6,2019.‎ The six-wheeled Scout, which wears Amazon‘s familiar Prime logo, is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity(容积) to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals and unexpected things.‎ To quicken Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner , the company has created several detailed virtual(虚拟的) maps and did simulated(模拟的) deliveries to homes there. "We can run thousands of deliveries in simulation overnight," Scout VP Sean Scott told The Verge. "The robot doesn’t actually know it’s in a simulation."‎ Amazon hasn’t showed how Scout makes sure the delivery is picked up by the right person, yet it most likely requires the customer to apply a unique code(密码) to unlock the cargoes(货物). Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human following, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location(定位）, however, will be tracked at all times to watch out for thieves.‎ Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles and large delivery trucks that typically ferry packages, they have some disadvantages. They can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages front door the customers are not home. Whether these problems get handled remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to meet the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.‎ ‎32. What does Amazon do to make Scout used nationally? A. It let Scout work day and night. ‎ B. It conducted some virtual deliver C. It programmed Scout to avoid barriers. D. It drew some maps for Scout to take with ‎33. Scout’s location will be always kept track of to make sure Scout________. A. can’t unlock the code B. is fully powered C. delivers cargoes on time D. won’t be stolen ‎34.What limitation do the Scout robots have? A. They are unable to climb stair. ‎ B. They leave packages randomly. ‎ ‎ C. They cause many traffic problems. D. They make delivery truckers jobless.‎ ‎35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Robots Are the Most Convenient Tools for Delivery B. Amazon Has Tested Delivery Robots Successfully C. Delivery Robots May Soon Be Knocking at Your Door.‎ D. Self-driving Vehicle Technology Develops at High Speed 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 Improve Your Health by Gardening Working in and eating from a home garden can do a lot to improve your general health. Not only can you get much needed daily exercise, you can also create healthy meals thanks to your daily labor. 36 ‎ ‎ You can work in the garden periodically. 37 Working in your garden for several hours over the course of the week is good for your health.

(Text 10) V: Nowadays, many Chinese high school graduates want to study in the United States to get a bachelor’s degree. Besides choosing where to go to school, students must figure out whether to live in a dorm, with a host family, or in an apartment that they rent. Each choice has its advantages and disadvantages. Living in a dorm is probably the easiest way to get used to college life in America, and it’s also the most common choice. But it can be difficult to manage your time with so many other students around you. And people who like their own personal space might not feel comfortable. Living with a host family gives students a familiar feeling, and this is the best way to improve your English quickly. However, if the habits of the host family do not match those of the student, it can be a challenging situation. Many foreign students say that their home-stay was the best part of their first year in college, but an equal number say it was the worst! Finally,apartments offer the most freedom. You get to live where you want and no one tells you what to do, which is great for independent and responsible students. But for those who have never been on their own before, the idea of paying bills on time, cooking every day and cleaning regularly may seem a little scary. This is also he most expensive choice, which is important to keep in mind.‎
