The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have 'a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.‎ Property papers: Loot and Renting ‎ Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters.

The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. Renting.co. uk.‎ Accommodation agencies ‎ The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.‎ Noticeboards Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted.

It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily, going to be better than that found through any other source.‎ Family ‎ Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.‎ ‎36. What is the advantage of using Loot?‎ A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.‎ B.

A good agent can help you .‎ A. know more people B. find cheap accommodation C. get the right accommodation quickly D. get free information about most accommodations ‎38.

For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information?‎ A. University accommodation offices.‎ B. Loot and Renting.‎ C. Noticeboards.‎ D.

College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.‎ Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.‎ ‎“Jack, did you hear me?”‎ ‎“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I ‎ honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.‎ ‎“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.‎ ‎“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.‎ ‎“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.‎ ‎“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.‎ Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.‎ The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.‎ ‎“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked. “The box is gone,” he said.‎ ‎“What box?” Mom asked.‎ ‎“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.‎ It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.‎ ‎“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.‎ Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.‎ ‎“Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.‎ ‎“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.‎ Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”‎ Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.‎ ‎“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.‎ ‎40. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?‎ A. College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bleser.‎ B. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser.‎ C. Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser.‎ D. His present busy life washed away his childhood memories.‎ ‎41. Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that ______.‎ A. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doing B. Mr. Belser’s funeral would take place on Wednesday C. Mr. Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing address D. Mr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together ‎42. What does the underlined word “reminisce” mean in paragraph 5?‎ A. recover B. reveal C. recommend D. recall ‎43. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?‎ A. Because he had no children or relatives.‎ B. Because he thought he had to keep his word.‎ C. Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.‎ D. Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.‎ ‎44. Jack said he needed some time to spend with his son because ______.‎ A. he came to realize the importance of the time with his family B. he had promised to spare more time to stay with his son C. he had missed his son and his family for days D. he was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.‎ ‎45. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?‎ A. The Good Old Times B. What He Valued Most C. An Old Gold Watch D. The Lost Childhood Days ‎【答案】40. C 41. C 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了工作狂Jack在参加老邻居葬礼之后逐渐意识到亲情的重要性。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.可知，Jack非常的忙于事业和前途，没有时间陪伴家人，没有时间回忆过去，所以在他印象中Mr. Belser仿佛早就去世了，故选C。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中The funeral is Wednesday可知，葬礼在周三举行，故排除B；根据第五段中Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,的内容可以排除A，D选项；故选C。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第五段中“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,”可知，Harold从来没有忘记Jack，每次见到Jack的妈妈都要询问Jack的近况，他会回忆以前在他的庭院里和Jack一起渡过的许多日子，故此处reminsice为回忆的意思，故选D。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”可知，Harold感谢Jack陪伴他的日子，故选C。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.” “Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”可知，Jack从Harold身上得到了A启发，他终于明白了陪伴家人的重要性，故选A。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，Jack开始时忙于工作疏忽家庭，认为事业最重要。后来因为参加老邻居的葬礼回忆起些许童年时光，又因老邻居赠送Jack其生前最重视的东西而得到启发，Jack 发现最重要的不是事业，而是亲情和家庭。故这篇文章主要是围绕“什么最重要”来展开的，故选B。‎ C People who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading skills. A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a more consistent basis than those who can't. Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brain’s response to language.‎ The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for reading skills. To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests. First, they were instructed to listen to and tap their fingers along to the beat. The researchers calculated low accurately their young volunteers were able to tap along to the musical timekeeper. Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which measures electrical activity in the brain. The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not only processes sound, but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for motor-movement. The researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound, which was repeated irregularly for half an hour. The researchers were able to find out how the nerve cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesized sound was played.“Across this population of adolescents, the more accurate they were at tapping along to the beat, the more consistent their brains' response to the letter unit was,” said Nina Kraus.‎ While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person’s ability to keep a beat, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links. “Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language.” Nina said.‎ ‎46. According to the first paragraph, what can get the brain’s reaction to language more effectively?‎ A. Rhythm. B. Reading skills.‎ C. Language. D. Musical training.‎ ‎47.

Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?‎ Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian( 百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to ( 习惯于) expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?‎ Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的) . They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.‎ Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.‎ Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting , often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to ‎ maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.‎ ‎51. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ______.‎ A. still judge a man by his clothes B. enjoy having a professional identity C. hold the uniform in such high regard D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform ‎52. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform ______.‎ A. suggests quality work B. appears to be more practical C. discards (丢弃;抛弃)his social identity D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes ‎53. The chief function of a uniform is to ______.‎ A. provide practical benefits to the wearer.‎ B. provide the wearer with a professional identity C. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself D. make the wearer catch the public eye ‎54. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ______.‎ A. are usually helpful B. have little or no individual freedom C. enjoy greater popularity D. tend to lose their individuality ‎55. The best title for this passage would be ______.‎ A. Uniforms and Society B. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform C. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms D. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform ‎【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. D 55.

He often stressed that he was just an ordinary kid who loved reading about science and doing experiments.‎ But there is other evidence that Cao is a bit different. On Dec 19，the now 22-year-old doctoral candidate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)，US，was named one of the 10 people who mattered this year by the journal Nature. It was for discovering a“magic angle”in graphene（石墨烯）sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics（超导体物理学）.‎ Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. It’s the thinnest and strongest material in the world. Cao’s work shows that when two layers of graphene are cooled to ‎1.7 C above absolute zero（‎-273 C）and rotated（旋转） to a “magic angle”of 1.1 degrees，the upper layer of graphene exhibits nonconducting behaviors.‎ However, Cao found that these electrons(电子) could flow in the graphene sandwich freely — as if they were traveling through a superconductor —when small amounts of electrons were added to the structure.‎ The discovery is exciting. “One can imagine making a superconducting transistor out of graphene, which you can switch on and off ， from superconducting to insulating” ， Pablo Jarillo-Herrero，Cao’s professor at MIT，told Science Daily.‎ But why was Cao able to make the discovery? Both his high school physics teacher Huang Jiatang and Jarillo-Herrero attribute it to Cao’s capacity for independent learning and interest in doing experiments.‎ Huang said that he remembered that as a young kid Cao had a strong ability to study on his own, a love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers and ask difficult questions.‎ Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. Jarillo-Herrero told Nature that Cao’s hobbies include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras. “Every time I go in Cao's office, it’s a huge mess, with computers taken apart and pieces of telescope all over his desk,” he said.‎ But even with such convincing proof, Cao still sees himself as an ordinary college student. “After all, we are all humans, with flaws and emotions,” he said.‎ ‎56. Why was Cao Yuan listed Person of the Year by the journal Nature? (within 20 words)‎ ‎57. Is graphene a new metal? What is it? (within 15 words)‎ ‎58. What are the factors that lead to Cao’s achievement? List two of them. (within 15 words)‎ ‎59. What does the underlined word “inquisitive” mean? (within 2 words)‎ ‎60. What’s the title of the article? (within 10 words)‎ ‎【答案】56. Because he discovered a“magic angle”in graphene sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics. ‎ ‎57. No,it isn’t. It is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. ‎ ‎58. Independent learning and interest in doing experiments./A love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers./He loves reading about science and doing experiments. ‎ ‎59. Curious ‎ ‎60. An Ordinary Young Man With Special Capacity/Cao Yuan: Ordinary or Special?‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇人物介绍。介绍了天才少年曹原的故事。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中It was for discovering a“magic angle”in graphene（石墨烯）sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics（超导体物理学）.可知，曹原被评为年度人物是因为他发现了石墨烯中的“魔角”，开启了超导体物理学的新领域。故答案为Because he discovered a“magic angle”in graphene sheets that he has opened up a new field of superconductor physics.‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中Graphene, first discovered in 2004, is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms.可知，石墨烯不是新材料，而是一种由单层碳原子构成的材料。故答案为No,it isn’t. It is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms.‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第七段中Both his high school physics teacher Huang Jiatang and Jarillo-Herrero attribute it to Cao’s capacity for independent learning and interest in doing experiments.可知，曹原有超凡的独立学习的能力和做实验的浓厚兴趣，故答案为Independent learning and interest in doing experiments./A love for hands-on experiments and was unafraid to challenge teachers./He loves reading about science and doing experiments.‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据Cao seems to be a highly inquisitive young man. Jarillo-Herrero told Nature that Cao’s hobbies include photographing the night sky using homemade cameras.可知，曹原的兴趣很广泛，包括用自己做的照相机拍摄夜空，由此推断其是个好奇的人。故答案为Curious。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 最佳标题题。纵观全文，文章主要讲述了天才少年曹原的种种天赋和成就，但其本人认为自己是很普通的人。故答案为An Ordinary Young Man With Special Capacity/Cao Yuan: Ordinary or Special?‎ 第二节:书面表达 （满分 25 分）‎ ‎61.‎2019 年 10 ‎月 1 日庆祝中华人民共和国成立 70 周年阅兵式在北京成功举行。为了弘扬爱国精神，丰富校园活动，你校（晨光中学）举办了关于观看阅兵式的征文比赛，学生们 踊跃参加。请根据下面的提示内容为校刊英文专栏写一篇报道。题目已给出。‎ ‎①征文比赛的评选（评出优秀作品、颁奖、获奖征文展示等）。‎ ‎②参赛作品的特点（反映阅兵场面、爱国热情等）。‎ ‎③自己的感想和愿望。‎ 注意：1. 词数不少于 100；‎ ‎2. 必须包含提示内容；‎ ‎3. 请勿提及真实学校名称； ‎ ‎4. 可适当加入细节，以使内容充实、行文连贯。‎ 提示词：阅兵式：military parade 爱国精神: patriotic spirit Students Joined in The Essay Contest Eagerly ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Students Joined in The Essay Contest Eagerly As was reported, the military parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was successfully held in Beijing on October 1st, 2019.
