Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019.‎ Lumos Matrix I recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet (头盔) ($229) with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This definitely helps. ‎ ‎— Matt mcfarland, Writer Goodreads app Although this isn’t a gift, the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger. At the beginning of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month. I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending. I read 35 books this year! (That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks. ‎ ‎— Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter Ember coffee cup I drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating. I can also set the specific temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier. ‎ ‎— Millie Dent, Intern ‎1. What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet?‎ ‎ A. Helping drivers concentrate. B. Managing the bad weather.‎ ‎ C. Making night riding safer. D. Making bikers less painful. ‎ ‎2. What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a gamechanger”?‎ ‎ A. It changes some readers’ reading rules. ‎ ‎ B. It provides readers with free internet games.‎ ‎ C. It limits the number of books a reader can read.‎ ‎ D. It inspires readers to read more through interactions.‎ ‎3. Which of the following can best describe Ember coffee cup?‎ ‎ A. Eco-friendly. B. Convenient. C. Expensive. D. Simple.‎ B ‎ Every year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.‎ One of ‎2019’‎s winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well. ‎ Here is what Katie told reporters: ‎ My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.‎ My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed (挫败) and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently. ‎ I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It is real, it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing ‎ plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it will be a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute. ‎ ‎4. What seems to concern Katie most?‎ A. Ocean exploration. ‎ B. The overpopulation on the earth.‎ C. Environmental problems. ‎ D. The shortage of natural energy.‎ ‎5. What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said? ‎ A. No Intel ISEF, no future. ‎ B. All the talents are at the Intel ISEF. ‎ C. The participants will make the future amazing. ‎ D. Katie should try to do better than the other participants. ‎ ‎6. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us？‎ ‎ A. The setbacks Katie experienced in her science.‎ ‎ B. The relationship between failure and success.‎ ‎ C. Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.‎ ‎ D. What Katie has gained from her scientific career.‎ ‎7. What does the underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph most probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Punish. B. Control. C. Deny. D. Measure. ‎ C The Underwater Photographer of the Year, which originated from 1965, is a yearly contest based in the United Kingdom. As you might expect, the focus is on photos taken under water, whether in the ocean, in lakes or rivers, or even swimming pools.‎ The pictures are judged in several different categories. The contest in 2019 had over 5,500 entries from 70 different countries. ‎ The grand prize winner was “Frozen Mobile Home” by French photographer Greg Lecoeur. The photo shows seals swimming around a small iceberg. To get the picture, Mr. Lecoeur traveled to Antarctica in a small boat and spent time tracking the life around floating icebergs. ‎ The photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” by Pasquale Vassallo of Italy won the award for Ocean Protection Photographer of the Year. Mr. Vassallo said that he went diving early in the morning to take ‎ this picture of a tuna (金枪鱼) trapped as fishermen pulled their nets in. ‎ Mr. Vassallo also took “Octopus Training”, a picture that won in the category of “Behavior”. He says that when he came up after a dive, he noticed a soccer ball floating on the surface. When he went to check it out, he saw that there was an octopus hanging from the ball. Mr. Vassallo says he doesn’t understand what the octopus was doing, but wonders if it was training for the World Cup. ‎ Though Rooman Luc of Belgium didn’t win the “Portrait” category, his photo, titled “Angry Seahorse”, is quite striking. The close-up shot of a seahorse staring strictly into the camera was named runner up (second place). He said he spent nearly an hour standing in knee-high water being bitten by mosquitos in order to get the picture.‎ ‎ The contest has many more amazing photos that can be viewed on the site, along with the stories behind them. There is even a book with all of the contents that can be downloaded for free. ‎ ‎8. Which isn’t suitable to enter the Underwater Photographer of the Year contest?‎ ‎ A. The crying dolphin. B. Saving the elephant. ‎ C. The dancing lemon shark. D. Kissing the whale. ‎ ‎9. In which section of a website can we read the text?‎ ‎ A. Arts. B. Literature. ‎ ‎ C. Documentary. D. Education.‎ ‎10. What is the photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” aimed to tell us? ‎ A. A tuna is hard to shoot. ‎ B. We should protect ocean animals. ‎ C. Diving early in the morning is painful. ‎ D. There are too many fishing nets in the sea. ‎ ‎11. What can we learn from the photo of “Octopus Training”?‎ ‎ A. The Octopus is endangered. ‎ B. Photo-taking should be serious.    ‎ C. The photographer has a sense of humor.  ‎ D. The photographer is concerned about the Octopus. ‎ D If you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats. ‎ Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.‎ The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.‎ More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.‎ The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds. ‎ Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.‎ But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations. ‎ ‎12. What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?‎ A. Their feeding patterns. B. Their sense of direction.‎ C. Their greedy behaviors. D. Their habit of following fishing boats.‎ ‎13. For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?‎ A. To seek more fishes. B. To have it mistaken for another. ‎ C. To avoid being detected. D. To save the trouble of declaring itself.‎ ‎14. What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?‎ A. Identifying birds with loggers. B. Monitoring illegal boats. ‎ C. Tracking radar signals automatically. D. Fishing illegally.‎ ‎15. What could be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. AIS: an Effective System to Locate Boats ‎ B. Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds’ Nature ‎ C. Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest ‎ ‎ D. Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ The Slow Food Movement started in Rome‎, ‎Italy in 1986. When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place, some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted, “We do not want fast food, we want slow food!”‎ ‎ 16 One day Carlo Petrini went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal. But the food didn’t taste the same as he remembered. He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low. This deeply concerned Carlo. ‎ Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods made their culture special. So he started a group to encourage this idea. It soon became the Slow Food Movement. 17 ‎ First, what is good food? Good food is fresh. The vegetables are eaten close to the place where they are grown. The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten. Good food is seasonable. 18 Good food satisfies the senses. It should look good, smell good and taste good. And finally, good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different. ‎ Second, food should be clean. Today, there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food. Farmers use chemicals to kill insects and feed plants. But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms. 19 Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.‎ And third, food should be fair. 20 All people should be able to purchase healthy food. The people who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work. They should work in safe, healthy conditions. ‎ A. Food should not cost too much money. ‎ B. Its goal is to have good, clean, fair food for all people.‎ C. Over time, they can cause health problems in people too. ‎ D. That was how the Slow Food Movement came into being.‎ E. It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food. ‎ F. Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy. ‎ G. This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement. ‎ 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)‎ 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。‎ My twin sister, Dawn, born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), has to wear braces (吊带) on her legs and walk with the help of a stick, often causing people to 21 and point.‎ As Dawn was the only “different” child in our neighborhood, we were constantly picked on.

A newly married woman, who had spent the afternoon at the bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $‎150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside.‎ Gilleece didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking through security-camera videos, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a chair outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench, slipped something into his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip (剪辑) on the bar’s Facebook page. “I didn’t want to punish him,” he said. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was.”‎ Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Prather, who admitted having taken the wallet and told Gilleece he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake (假的), so he took the money and threw the wallet off the dock (码头) into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.‎ Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the dock, where they got talking and Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Judging from Prather’s small body and red cheeks, Gilleece saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.‎ But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing charges. “He would be going to big boy prison. I have to help him somehow,” Gilleece thought.‎ Para. 1：Gilleece paid two divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________ ‎ Para. 2: Then suddenly a diver came up to the surface of the water. _______________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________‎ 英语试题参考答案 第一部分　阅读理解（共两节，每小题2.5分，满分50分）‎ 第一节 阅读理解：1—3 CDB 4—7 CCDB 8—11 BABC 12—15 DCAD 第二节 七选五：16—20 GBECA 第二部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空：（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎21—25 CADBB 26—30 ADCAC 31—35 BDCAD ‎ 第二节 语法填空：（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎36. watching 37. the 38. who/that 39. influential 40.

A crowd gathered, excitedly watching the two divers searching in the strong current. Nearby, two policemen were also waiting. More than an hour passed but there was no sign of the ring. The crowd gradually got impatient, starting to talk noisily. Gilleece grew increasingly worried, especially when the policemen began questioning Prather, attempting to get him to admit keeping the ring. Each passing minute increased the chance that they would arrest the young man.‎ Then suddenly a diver came up to the surface of the water. In his hand was the wallet and inside was the ring. Loud cheers erupted from the crowd. Gilleece quickly called the wallet’s owner, who was wild with joy and immediately dropped the charges against Prather. With tears of gratitude rolling down his cheeks, Prather hugged Gilleece tightly, saying “You’ve saved me today. I couldn’t thank you enough!” Prather promised to go back home to join his family. Gilleece’s act of kindness changed a teen’s life.‎
