I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.‎ At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.‎ The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this did not work well. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter, highlight the new words and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context. Additionally, a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.‎ If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child, I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner. However, if you feel a bit more confident reading in English, I would personally recommend the series of ‘Harry Potter’ books by J. K. Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books.‎ ‎24. What makes it hard for the author to learn German?‎ A. The author had a poor memory. B. The author had no interest in it.‎ C. The author had no one to ask for help. D. The author couldn't read books fluently.‎ ‎25. What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first?‎ A. Interesting. B. Stupid. C. Helpful. D. Boring.‎ ‎26. What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3?‎ A. How to deal with new words while reading.‎ B. Why it is helpful to read children's book at first.‎ C. How to choose a proper book to match your level.‎ D. How to form the habit of reading in the target language.‎ ‎27. Why does the author write this text?‎ A. To give tips on how to learn a new language.‎ B. To persuade the readers to learn a new language.‎ C. To stress the importance of reading in language learning.‎ D. To share the author's stories of learning a new language.‎ C I love winter birds and I love photographing them in snow. That being said, I admit that I'm a fair-weather birder(猎鸟者).Worse, I'm a lazy, fair-weather birder. I don't like weather extremes, so when it's very hot or really cold, it is hard to get me to leave the comfort of home. In summer, I only photograph hummingbirds(蜂鸟)in my yard, and in winter, I try to only go out on relatively mild days. Most of my bird photography is done within an hour's drive of my hometown of Elmira, Ont. So it's all about finding a balance that works.‎ The winter of 2014 was a great year for snowy owls(雪枭)here in Woolwich Township. One day in early March, I was on my way home from work when I noticed a beautiful snowy owl sitting in a tree right at the crossing. I pulled over to admire him, and then kept heading home unwillingly.‎ Two hundred meters or so down the road, there were two more snowy owls in a field by a fence, and in the next field over, another on top of a fence post. I couldn't find words to express my feeling at that moment. Thus I rushed home, grabbed my camera and went right back out to get some pictures. It was one of the most magical local birding moments I've ever experienced.‎ When I'm looking for excellent opportunities to photograph snowy owls and other birds without spending dozens of hours searching for them-and if I'm lucky, finding one that's semi-cooperative-I head to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy (CRC) or the Mountsberg Raptor Centre. I've attended so many photo sessions at each of these fantastic facilities that I've lost count.‎ ‎28. What factor has the most effect on whether the author goes out to photograph birds or not?‎ A. Road conditions. B. Personal emotion.‎ C. Weather conditions. D. Time arrangement.‎ ‎29. How did the author feel when he saw the snowy owls on the way home?‎ A. Sad. B. Excited. C. Untouched. D. Proud.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Opportunities. B. Moments. C. Pictures. D. Birds.‎ ‎31. What can we infer about the author?‎ A. The author only photographs snowy owls.‎ B. The author can take excellent photos easily.‎ C. The author makes a living by photographing birds.‎ D. The author values each chance to photograph birds.‎ D WHAT are scientists? They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.‎ But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.‎ This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue. At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.‎ She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能). "Both are cutting-edge(前沿)technologies at an early stage of development," she said.‎ ‎"So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."‎ She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world, when I was very young," she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.‎ In her third year at the university, she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.‎ Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.‎ Unlike-many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.‎ ‎"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding the country has great science facilities.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word "releasing" in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Giving out. B. Getting over. C. Finding out. D. Taking over.‎ ‎33. What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China?‎ A. Anxious. B. Confident. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied.‎ ‎34. What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist?‎ A. Her teacher led her into the field. B. She finds it's easier than she thought.‎ C. Her contribution has been recognized. D. She thinks it's boring but worth trying.‎ ‎35. Which can be the best title of the text?‎ A. China's Breakthrough in Science B. Rising Young Scientists in China C. Wan Ruixue: A Successful Young Scientist D. New Image of Chinese Scientists 第二节 七选五(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。‎ House Sitting In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.‎ In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36‎ So, if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.‎ ‎38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home. There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 39 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.‎ Some house-sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.‎ ‎40 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house-sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.‎ A. I have done house sitting many times.‎ B. Thousands of people do this all the time.‎ C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.‎ D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house-sitting job.‎ E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.‎ F. This is an international house-sitting service for all city and country areas.‎ G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41~60各小题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出一个最佳答案。‎ My husband and I changed our front yard with something eatable, adding apples, bananas, oranges, and pomegranates(石榴).‎ Every crop brought us___41___ to neighbors and strangers.
