I can't say exactly why, but it was undoubtedly a combination of many images: ice, remoteness and polar bears.‎ After decades, I went there. One of my objectives was to develop a friendship with Greenlanders. I didn't know how I would achieve this, but success came in an unexpected way.‎ I hiked the kilometer to Illunnguujuk Hostel（青年旅舍），where I had reserved a bed for my first night. It was a neat and white house. A young couple and their little kids were enjoying the sun and unusual warmth. When I identified myself, the woman5s eyes widened and she said there was a problem. Mistaking another tourist for me, they had given him my bed. There was no more space in the hostel. Just then, the family's grandmother came back, she was embarrassed by oversight and threw herself into cleaning a tiny house the family owned near the hostel. And as if it weren't enough, she invited me to have supper with them.‎ We had a long and pleasant conversation that night. I remarked that Greenland must be very difficult to live in with the extremely cold winter and the six months of darkness being the challenges. But they told me that they couldn't imagine living in any place else. Home, after all, is home.‎ When first setting foot in Greenland I found myself completely overwhelmed（（ 不知 所措的）by the emptiness, the vastness, and the silence. I had decided I would make the most of Greenland during my visit for I would probably never return. And then I was taken into this Greenlandic home. I can now say I have friends in Greenland and that even a cold, empty and silent landscape is worth visiting, so long as one has a warm and welcoming place to go.‎ 21. What does the underlined word “success" in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Making friends with natives.‎ B. Realizing the childhood dream.‎ C. Living in the reserved hostel.‎ D. Arriving in Greenland safely.‎ 22. How did the author spend the first night in Greenland?‎ A. He lived in a cold and tiny hostel alone.‎ B. He shared a room with another tourist.‎ C. He hiked the whole night without any direction.‎ D. He had a nice evening with a local family.‎ 23. What matters in a strange and vast country according to the author?‎ A. Old and warm-hearted friends.‎ B. A warm and welcoming place.‎ C. Tasty and nutritious local food.‎ D. A beautiful and silent landscape.‎ 24. What can be a suitable title for the passage?‎ A. An Exchange Visit to Greenland.‎ B. Climate Changes in Greenland.‎ C. Unusual Warmth in Greenland.‎ D. An Adventure with Greenlanders.‎ A lifetime of active exercise will let you keep the body of a 20-year-old well into your 70s, scientists have found.‎ The physical decline thought to be an unavoidable part of ageing is actually the result of not exercising enough, according to the research, which found that regular cyclists maintained the muscles, lungs, and even the immune system （免疫 系统）of people decades younger. Besides, many serious health problems could be prevented if people became more active rather than being sedentary （久 坐不动 的），researchers insist.‎ Janet Lord, leading researcher of the research, said： “Our findings disprove the assumption that ageing automatically makes us weaker. We now have strong evidence that encouraging people to do ‎ regular exercise throughout their lives can be a solution to the problem that we are living longer but not healthier. ”‎ She looked at 125 keen cyclists aged 55 to 79 who had been exercising regularly for 25 years and compared them with 75 ordinary people of a similar age and 55 people aged 20 to 36. On a string of physical measures, the cyclists showed no difference from people much younger. Besides, scientists were surprised to discover that their immune systems were also the same. They kept making T cells, which organize the response to new infection, in the same way as younger people, while production tailed off in older people who did not cycle.‎ ‎“It's in the textbooks that your immune system doesn't work as well and you get more infections but in the cyclists they were the same as a 20-year-oldProfessor Lord said. She now aims to discover how much exercise people need to do to stay young. “My suspicion is that you don't need to do a massive amount. It may be intensity（强度）that helps—like going up and down the stairs ten times a day. You get a big benefit by simply doing something instead of sitting. ”‎ While there is no magic fomula（方案）for staying mentally and physically fit in later life, the benefits of keeping active can never be ignored, whatever your age or state of health.‎ 21. According to the research, what is the reason for physical decline?‎ A. The failure of organs.‎ B. The poor state of health.‎ C. The increased physical activity.‎ D. The lack of regular exercise.‎ 22. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “tailed off" in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Reopened briefly. B. Stopped suddenly.‎ C. Increased sharply. D. Lessened slowly.‎ 23. Which of the following statements would Professor Lord probably agree with?‎ A. Ageing automatically makes people increasingly weaker.‎ B. People need a large amount of exercise to stay young.‎ C. The intensity of exercise matters in slowing down ageing.‎ D. A magic formula is what people need to stay fit in later life.‎ 24. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To stress the importance of being physically active.‎ B. To explain the functions of the immune system.‎ C. To introduce the ways to stay fit.‎ D. To discuss the benefits of regular cycling.‎ D A new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science claims that ‎ dolphins recognize their own names when called.‎ Vincent Janik, one of the authors of the study and a biology researcher at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, said that the name is actually a specific type of dolphin pronunciation that the animals respond to. “It is a kind of high voice that has a little bit of a tune," he told ABC News. These sounds are referred to as “signature voices".‎ Janik and his colleague, Stephanie King, sailed along the east coast of Scotland looking for bottlenose dolphins. Though they are often seen to live in warm tropical（热 带的）waters, Janik says that wild dolphins aren't impossible to be found in the United Kingdom. “There are maybe about 150-180 of them in our country," he said.‎ After spotting and recognizing a dolphin in the wild, the researchers would play one of three different sounds: an adjusted sound recording of that dolphin's signature voice, a signature voice of one of its species, or the signature voice of a completely foreign dolphin.‎ They played the dolphin's own signature voice and the animal would come up and approach the boat and whistle back. However, the dolphin didn't respond to the other two types of voices and mostly kept about its business. It may seem strange that the dolphins don't react much to the voices of other dolphins, but Janik says that copying a dolphin's signature voice just right is part of their social group.‎ ‎“This copying only happens between closely connected animals, like between mothers and their youngs," he said. Dolphins only need to respond to their own signature voices, since any socially connected animal will have learned how to copy it. “It says to them, "I know that this voice is a friend.‎ 21. According to Janik, which is TRUE?‎ A. Dolphins can't recognize their own names when called.‎ B. Bottlenose dolphins only live in warm tropical waters.‎ C. Wild dolphins are possible to be found in the U. K.‎ D. Dolphins use low voice to call others5 names.‎ 22. Which of the following sounds didn't the researchers play?‎ A. A signature voice of one of its species.‎ B. The signature voice of a foreign dolphin.‎ C. The signature voice of a mother dolphin.‎ D. A recording of that dolphin's signature voice.‎ 21. What can be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6 about dolphins?‎ A. They are strange. B. They are thoughtful.‎ C. They are busy. D. They are social.‎ 22. Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?‎ A. A science fiction. B. A science magazine.‎ C. A medical magazine. D. A detective novel.‎ 第二节（共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5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 Not to Be Awkward Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. 36 This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward? Let's try to find answers to the questions.‎ Stay in shape and dress up well Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size, you tend to get very self-conscious. So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day. 37 If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980's film when actually it is 2019, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself!‎ Be optimistic Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. 38 On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive-thinking person is appreciated by everybody. So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi!" and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!‎ Participate in team activities This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So, in order to change this situation, join groups. 39 Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice such as playing team sports or joining a dance class and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day.‎ Develop your personality Being a bookworm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere. For self- improvement ,take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life. Learn singing or try adventure sports. 40 ‎ A. Learn how to end a conversation.‎ B. Secondly, have appropriate clothes on.‎ C. For instance, if you are a reading lover, join a book club.‎ A. If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you.‎ B. Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.‎ C. Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others.‎ D. Awkwardness could be because you do not have anything in common to talk about. ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分27.5分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题;每小题1分，满分20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。‎ A light rain was falling.

I didn't know how I would achieve this可知，我去格陵兰的目标是和格陵兰人交 朋友。由此可知? success tg 的是 making friends with Greenlanders,故选 Ao 25. 考查逻辑推理。根据文章中的 It was a neat and white house.和 We had a long and pleasant conversation that night.以及上下文可知，青年旅舍提供了“我”一个干净和整洁的房间。由于床 位出现了问题，青年旅馆的主人家为“我”腾地方并且请“我”吃晚饭。我们有一次愉快的长谈。 由此可知，作者在格陵兰度过了愉快的晚上，故选D。‎ 26. 考查细节理解。根据文章最后的so long as one has a warm and welcoming place to go可知，在 这个陌生的和广袤的国家,温暖和好客是最关键的方面，故选B。‎ 27. 考查标题判断。作者介绍了自己的格陵兰之旅。当地人的热情让作者在冰雪覆盖的格陵兰岛 找到了温暖，从而使他的格陵兰岛之行有了意义。最大的成功在于结交了朋友，这是一个温暖 和好客的地方。A项“去格陵兰的一次交流访问”;B项“格陵兰的天气变化”;C项“在格陵兰的 不同寻常的温暖”;D项“和格陵兰人的一次冒险之旅”。C项更符合文意。故选C。‎ 阅读c ‎【文章大意】本文主要介绍了科学家关于坚持适度锻炼对保持身体状态年轻的关系的有关研究。‎ ‎【关键词】exercise； research； benefit...‎ 28. 考查细节理解。由第二段第一句 The physical decline thought to be an unavoidable part of ageing is actually the result of not exercising enough可知身体不可避免的衰老实际上是缺乏锻 炼的结果，故选D。‎ 29. 考查短语猜测。由第四段的最后一句 They kept making T cells, which organize the response to new infection, in the same way as younger people, while production tailed off in older people who did not cycle.可知本句是讲这些常骑自行车的老年测试参与者的免疫系统持续不断地如 年轻人一样地制造T细胞,T细胞是组织对于感染的防御反应的，其生理能力在没骑车的老人 身上会减退，故选D。‎ 21. 考查逻辑推理。由第三段可知此研究的领导者Janet Lord认为:年龄变老不一定就应该身体虚 弱，人们应定时锻炼来获得老年的健康；由第五段最后三句可知，Lord教授还指出：要保持年轻 的身体状态，不必要大的运动量，适度锻炼才会有很大益处，而常坐有害。所以运动的强度对延 缓衰老很重要，故选C。‎ 22. 考查目的意图。由本文的主要论点是:虽没有办法永葆年轻，但常适度锻炼可以保持身体状态 年轻，也就是说运动锻炼的重要性。故选A。‎ 阅读D ‎【文章大意】发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一篇新论文称，海豚在被呼唤时能认出自己的名字。 本文对此进行了解释说明。‎ ‎【关键词】dolphin； name； recognize 23. 考查正误判断。根据第三段的 Though they are often seen to live in warm tropical（热带的） waters, Janik says that wild dolphins aren't impossible to be found in the United Kingdom. 可 知,在英国是有可能看到野生海豚的。故选C。‎ 24. 考查细节理解。根据第四段的 the researchers would play one of three different sounds: an adjusted sound recording of that dolphin's signature voice, a signature voice of one of its species, or the signature voice of a completely foreign dolphin 可知,研究人员播放 了 三种声音: 调整后的海豚标志性声音的录音、该物种的标志性声音、或完全外来的海豚的标志性声音。故 选C。‎ 25. 考查逻辑推理。根据第五段的 but Janik says that copying a dolphin' signature voice just right is part of their social group 和最后一段的 Dolphins only need to respond to their own signature voices, since any socially connected animal will have learned how to copy it. 可知，正确地模仿 海豚的标志性声音是它们社会群体的一部分,海豚只需要对自己的标志性声音做出反应，因为 任何与社会有联系的动物都会学会如何模仿它们。因此推断海豚是社会性的。故选D。‎ 26. 考查文章出处。文章主要讲述了发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》的一个科学研究,海豚在被呼唤 时能认出自己的名字。因此推断文章最有可能来自科学杂志。故选B。‎ 七选五 ‎【文章大意】作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了避免尴尬的方法。作者提出了几点建议，如保持身 材、注意穿着、乐观向上、参加团体活动、发展个性等。‎ ‎【关键词】awkward； tip； optimistic； self-improvement---‎ 27. 根据前句 Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by stonru 可知，并不是所有的人 都很外向并名震四海，也就是说我们中有很多人比较害羞不愿意和他人交往。再结合下句This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process.可知,这种情况通常发生在10几岁的时候。F项“我们中有一些人是害羞的，可能甚至 和别人保持距离”符合上下文语境，故选Fo 28. 根据本段标题Stay in shape and dress up well可知，要想在人际交往中不尴尬，需要保持体形，并 穿着打扮好。根据横线前句 So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every 血y・可知叙述的是多锻炼来保持体形,那么横线处要填的句子就应该是与dress叩well —致的 含义,B项''Secondly, have appropriate clothes on. ”穿合适的衣服，符合语境，故选Bo 29. 根据本段标题Be optimistic可知，本段中心思想就是要求我们要有乐观的心态。再看后一句中 的 a smiling, happy and positive-thinking person is appreciated by everybody 可知，一个面带微 笑,开心并积极思考的人会受到他人的喜欢。也就是说如果总是不开心，消极地面对一切，没有 人会喜欢你，故选D。‎ 30. 根据前一句So, in order to change this situation, join groups.可知，作者建议我们想要改变这一 情况,就去参加团体活动。选项 C.

Learning from the notice that some volunteers are urgently needed, I am interested in it and can't wait to write to apply for the position. I desire to obtain this precious opportunity and I do believe I will be the right person.‎ As an outgoing girl, I get along well with my classmates and like to make friends. At the same time, I have strong sense of duty and cooperation. Besides, having learned English for many years, I have a good command of English, especially spoken English. As a result, I am elected as assistant to my English teacher. Successfully, I have lent a helping hand to her in several English activities of my class, which have been appreciated by both teachers and classmates. Above all, I once worked as a volunteer and therefore I accumulated much experience, which will be of great help to the job.
