Full of enthusiastic articles and challenging puzzles, every issue covers science, history and general knowledge. AQUILA is a quality production, beautifully illustrated with contemporary artwork throughout.‎ ‎● Intelligent reading for 8—12 year-olds ‎● Cool science and challenging projects ‎● Inspires self-motivated learning ‎● Exciting new topic every issue AQUILA is created and owned by an independent UK company. It has 28 pages, printed on high-quality paper and there are no advertisements or posters. Instead it is full of well-written articles, thought-provoking ideas and great contemporary artwork. Each monthly issue is centred around a new topic. ‎ AQUILA works as a superb learning extension to current primary (or KS2 and KS3) curriculum (课程), but it is much more than that! Entertaining and always surprising, AQUILA is recommended because it widens children’s interest and understanding, rather than encouraging them to concentrate only on their favourite subjects. It gives children a well-rounded understanding of the world, in all its complexity. ‎ The concepts in AQUILA can be challenging, requiring good comprehension and reading skills. 8 years is usually a good age to start. Some gentle interest from an adult is often helpful at the start.‎ In 2020 AQUILA will have been in publication for 28 years, but it has never appeared in newsstands or shops. We are subscription only.‎ AQUILA Subscription UK: 12 Months £55 – 4 Months £30 Europe: 12 Months £60 – 4 Months £35 World: 12 Months £70 – 4 Months £35‎ Birthdays Select the Birthday option, write a gift message and choose the birthday month.

AQUILA is intended for ________.‎ A. foreign language learners B. children with learning difficulties C. parent-child reading lovers D. curious kids with good comprehension B The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018. He walked toward it and found a balloon attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami,” it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss flipped the paper over. It was a numbered list in Spanish. His Spanish isn’t very good, but he could see it was a Christmas list. ‎ He was charmed and wondered whether he could find the child. About 20 miles to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. Based on the prevailing wind, he was pretty sure that’s where it came from.‎ Back home, Heiss’s wife who is fluent in Spanish translated the list. Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and art supplies.‎ Heiss then posted about his quest on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping someone might know the girl’s family.‎ A few days passed with no leads; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, he decided to send a private Facebook message to Radio XENY based in Nogales. The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message: The staff had located Dayami, who indeed lived in Nogales and would be willing to arrange a get-together at the radio station.‎ Heiss and his wife rushed to buy everything on Dayami’s list. Then they drove for 45 minutes, crossing the border into Nogales. They finally met the very excited girl. “Her eyes were wide open with wonder. Like, ‘Oh my gosh, this really did work!’ It was a beautiful experience,” Heiss said. “Quite healing for us.” ‎ Heiss, 61, has lived in Bisbee, Arizona for more than three decades. Ten years ago, he and his wife lost their only child. They have no grandchildren. Now they split their time between Nogales and Bisbee. ‎ ‎“Being around children at Christmastime has been absent in our lives,” Heiss said. “It’s been kind of a gaping hole in our Christmas experience.” He has since reflected on what a miracle it was that he spotted the balloon at all, let alone that he was able to locate Dayami and her family. ‎ ‎24. On December 16, Heiss ________.‎ ‎ A. planned to go to Nogales ‎ ‎ B. found a wish list by accident ‎ C. spotted a card attached to a balloon ‎ D. read a story about Dayami on Facebook ‎25. What did Heiss do to find Dayami?‎ ‎ A. He asked his wife for advice. B. He posted Dayami’s photo online.‎ ‎ C. He drove to Nogales to find clues. D. He turned to Radio XENY for help.‎ ‎26. What do we learn about Heiss?‎ A. He has lived alone for many years.‎ B. He is not good at learning languages. ‎ C. He has built a close bond with Dayami.‎ D.

Treat others as you hope they will treat you.‎ C New App Helps People Remember Faces Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue，but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution． The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition，potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody," says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people． ‎ ‎ After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer，the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media．At the event，the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face，the app identifies the individual，displays the person's name，and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event． Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions，however，that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you." The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness," a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met．To use this app，a person first acquires an image of someone's face，from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph，and then tags it with a name．When the camera spots that same face in real life，the previously entered information is displayed．The collected data are stored only on a user's phone，according to the team behind the app．‎ 28. SocialRecall is used to ______．‎ A. take photos B. identify people C. organize events D. make friends ‎29. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______．‎ A. how the app works B. how the app was created C. what makes the app popular D. what people can do with the app ‎30. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ______．‎ A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones B. collecting information previously entered in the phone C. providing the information of a person when they first meet D. showing the person's information when it spots a stored face ‎31. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage? ______ ‎ A. It may put people's privacy at risk． B. It has caused unintended consequences． C. It can prevent some communication disorders． D. It is praised by users for its protective measures．‎ D GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true？ Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany， thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational （职业的） training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them． Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice-once towards the end of each volunteer's time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job. When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either-except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious. That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and ‎ enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people's choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.‎ 32. Which of the following can best replace "beckoned for" in Paragraph 2？ ______ ‎ A. Examined． B. Attracted． C. Organized． D. Recognized．‎ ‎33. What can we learn from the research？ ______ ‎ A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities． B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience． C. Working straight after school narrows people's minds． D. College students pride themselves on their education．‎ ‎34. According to the last two paragraphs， ______ ．‎ A. college students enjoy a very good public image B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training ‎35. What is the author's attitude towards the finding？ ______ ‎ A. Concerned． B. Optimistic． C. Unclear． D. Sceptical．‎ 第二节（共5小题 ；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Mystery of Evolution Following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP), also named COVID-19 by WHO, there is a general fear of the unknown virus as its full effects remain to be seen. Fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing-the NCP's symptoms are similar to the common cold or the flu. but it's potentially more dangerous.‎ Viruses could be deadly, like HIV and Ebola (埃博拉). But what are viruses? How can they cause so much trouble? Viruses are non-living organisms (有机体) approximately one-millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, they can't reproduce on their own. 36 ‎ Viruses can infect every living thing-from plants and animals down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they always have the potential to be dangerous to human life. Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so serious that it is fatal. Other viral infections cause no noticeable reaction. Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can eater our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. 37 For example, HIV, which causes AIDS. attacks the T-cells of the immune system.‎ But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? 38 "Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult. " Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, "because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they've invaded." 39 First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces of DNA or RNA that "escaped" from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.‎ For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible explanation. 40 Or future studies may reveal that the answer is even murkier (含糊不清的) than it now appears.‎ A. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect.‎ B. Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.‎ C. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.‎ D. There's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin coronavirus.‎ E. However, there are three main hypotheses (假说) to explain the origin of viruses.‎ F. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.‎ G. Bat is a flying mammal with a long lifespan, whose temperature is high, similar to a fever.‎ 第三部分 英语知识应用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ My Perfect Imperfect Life A few years ago, I was standing at the barre(扶手杠) waiting for my adult ballet class when I heard a voice behind me. "So, do you have this perfect life? " ‎ My first reaction was to 41 who was being asked such an odd question. Then I remembered there were only two of us in the room. When I turned 42 , the other woman was looking straight at me． I had no idea how to answer it. Was she 43 ? Who has a perfect life? Sure, occasionally I did find the perfect dress or the perfect pair of shoes, 44 never would I use that word to describe anything about me or my life. I felt a twinge of guilt for somehow giving her that 45 ．She watched me. I finally 46 to whisper a quick "No"． By then, the teacher had entered the room and turned on the music to start class. With a sigh of 47 , I moved my feet into the best position. But as soon as my knees bent for our first pose, I realized my 48 had been disturbed. This woman's words wouldn't 49 echoing in my thoughts． I wanted to know how she came up with her very mistaken 50 . If she knew anything about my life, she never would have had the 51 to ask me that question． I did my best to do our floor exercises in front of the mirror. For a few moments, I didn't see the usual 52 of my older self attempting to use a beautiful art form to 53 my gracefulness． I only saw the little girl whose father died when she was two, the child who walked home from elementary school every day to an empty house, who learned to sew her own clothes to 54 money． Perfect. My life had been far from it． When those memories 55 , I was left with a vision of the woman I had become, the woman 56 by all those things I considered imperfect. I now saw the woman who had learned to be self-reliant, who 57 her family and her friends, who didn't take life for granted. Was that the "perfect" this woman had detected? I still don't know, but I no longer feel 58 or feel like I must keep track of all the difficult times to prove my life isn't 59 . If ever again asked whether my life is perfect, I would have a different 60 . Because now I see that, despite all its imperfection, it is.‎ 41. ‎ A. notice B. understand C. wonder D. expect 41. ‎ A. up B. away C. over D. around 42. ‎ A. fair B. serious C. anxious D. wise 43. ‎ A. but B. or C. for D. and 44. ‎ A. intention B. instruction C. impression D. information 45. ‎ A. learned B. managed C. agreed D. planned 46. ‎ A. sadness B. surprise C. pleasure D. relief 47. ‎ A. concentration B. patience C. confidence D. effort 48. ‎ A. escape B. keep C. stop D. stand 49. ‎ A. idea B. advice C. reason D. theory 50. ‎ A. right B. urge C. excuse D. honor 51. ‎ A. reflection B. preference C. appearance D. expression 52. ‎ A. experience B. describe C. replace D. improve 53. ‎ A. collect B. earn C. spend D. save 54. ‎ A. faded B. failed C. floated D. flashed 55. ‎ A. buried B. shaped C. watched D. followed 56. ‎ A. changed B. welcomed C. valued D. protected 57. ‎ A. worried B. guilty C. cautious D. desperate 58. ‎ A. comfortable B. ordinary C. perfect D. meaningful 59. ‎ A. solution B. message C. approach D. answer 第二节 语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入适当的词（1个单词）或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题纸标号为61―70的相应位置上。‎ People are always buying things because they want to get the 61 (late) products. However, in the future people will probably buy fewer things because of 62 development of digital technology.‎ In the past, new inventions brought many products into our houses, but digital technology often 63 (replace) these things with a single device. For example, your mobile phone can now be your television, radio, music 64 (play) and alarm clock. In the future, children may play all their games on a phone or tablet, and so traditional board games will ‎ disappear. Consequently, people 65 (have) less stuff in their house, for they spend a lot on digital services.‎ Secondly, digital technology supports a 66 (share) economy, and that means people will not need to buy so many things. Owning a car will not be necessary as you will simply have an app 67 (book) a driverless car when you need one. People will share things 68 bicycles and gardening equipment within their local community by using an app to find what they need.‎ To sum up, digital technology will 69 (definite) continue to change our lives, and one of those changes will be 70 we won’t need to own so much stuff.‎ 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)‎ 第一节 短文改错（10 分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线(﹨)划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ Senior Three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination. "Should I choose a good major and a good university?" Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one’s development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion, a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university. But if they can’t obtain both, the first thing to consider was a good major. Because no matter where they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if they try their best.‎ 第二节 书面表达(满分25分)‎ 假定你是李华，来自阳光中学，你校乒乓球应邀去澳大利亚一所中学参加中学生乒乓球友谊赛。请你给举办学校的联系人Mr. Black写一封邮件询问相关事宜，要点如下：‎ ‎1.接受邀请；表示感谢 ‎2.询问食宿，交通及比赛日程等方面的安排；‎ ‎3.提出相关建议。‎ 注意：1. 词数100左右；‎ ‎2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 第一部分 听力（共两节，每小题1.5分；满分 30 分）‎ ‎1--5ACBAC 6--10BAACB 11--15CAACB 16--20BACCB 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分；满分40分）‎ ‎21-23 CDD 24-27 BDCA 28-31 BADA 32-35 BCDA 36-40 FABEC 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ ‎41-45 CDBAC 46-50 BDACA 51-55 BADDA 56-60 BCBCD 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分 61. latest 62. the 63. replaces 64. player 65. will have 66. sharing 67. to book 68. like 69. definitely 70. that 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎1. student- students 2. 去掉by 3. and- or 4. which- what ‎5. take前加to 6. believes- believe 7. graduate- graduating ‎8. a- the 9. was- is 10. we- they 第二节 书面表达(满分25分)‎ Dear Mr. Black,‎ I am Li Hua, a student from Sunshine Middle School.
