I found myself then at a local used car lot looking at a 12-year-old car. There was no way for me to afford a new car, but this one seemed in fine shape. I made the deal and drove it home.‎ It wasn’t long, however, before I noticed a squealing (振鸣声). I made an appointment at a local repair factory. The heat of the day made me turn on the air conditioner but no cold air came out. This made me worry more. I wondered if I’d made a big mistake.‎ When I arrived at the repair factory, I sat in the waiting room. The warmth and beauty of the day was too good to ignore. I walked outside. Walking around the parked cars, I noticed some beautiful flowers. As I looked down at them, a single white butterfly flew down and landed on them. Butterflies had for years held a special place in my heart. They always reminded me of my mother and her love for me. I smiled when I saw this one and felt in my heart peace and joy I hadn’t felt for a long time. I realized then that while the repairers were making a few minor repairs on my car, God was making a few minor repairs on my soul.‎ Life is too short to allow fear and worry to rule our days. We’re here on earth to love each other and we’re reminded of this in countless ways every day. My “new” car is running now and I’m doing my best to keep my soul doing the same. May you always keep your own soul open to whatever minor repairs you meet with in life.‎ ‎21. Why was the author worried?‎ A. He was unable to afford a new car.‎ B. His “new” car couldn’t be used again.‎ C. Repairing would cost him much money.‎ D. Something was wrong with his “new” car.‎ ‎22. What made the author walk out of the waiting room?‎ A. The long and boring wait. B. The white butterfly.‎ C. The good weather. D. Beautiful flowers.‎ ‎23. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A few minor repairs B. The power of nature C. The way to repair your soul D. Happy memories of my mom B With the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users’ reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can’t actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you’re buying online, these reviews provide buyers valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them?‎ Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent review on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review to the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews—only the good ones.‎ So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.‎ Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers(礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all online companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that they feel is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down. ‎ So, next time you see that 5-star review for something you want to buy, be aware—it could be the work of a false reviewer!‎ ‎24. What does “them” in Para.1 refer to?‎ A. Products. B. Users. C. Reviews. D. Buyers. ‎ ‎25. What does Barnaby Bicken’s story imply?‎ A. The food served was awful. B.He likes to write bad reviews.‎ C. Many people are easily cheated. D. Not all reviews are believable. ‎ ‎26. How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews?‎ A. Tries to make the reviews objective. B. Pays attention to the bad reviews.‎ C. Offers gifts for the good reviews. D. Helps to finish the reviews.‎ C Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.‎ Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.‎ The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.‎ The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30) for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.‎ The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.‎ To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.‎ Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.‎ ‎27. According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?‎ A. Grey-colored dustbins. B. Red-colored dustbins.‎ C. Green-colored dustbins. D. Blue-colored dustbins.‎ ‎28. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. New technology has been applied to help deal with garbage B. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai C. The change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens D. The amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing ‎29. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. How to Sort Garbage in China B. The Current Regulation in Beijing C. Garbage Collection in Beijing D. Waste Recycling Project Counts ‎30. What can the passage be sorted as?‎ A. A book review 　　　　　　　　　B. A travel brochure ‎ C. An environment report 　　　　　　D. A geography essay 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。选项中有两项是多余选项。‎ Everyone is aware that taking good care of our bodies can prevent many medical problems from occurring later. However, we often have less awareness of preventative actions we should take to help with mental health problems. While our mental health may be fine right now, many of us will struggle at some point. 31 It’s impossible to get through life without challenges, but our mental health prevention habits can help us get through difficult times. 32 ‎ Keep active. The more active you physically, mentally and socially are, the higher the level of your mental wellness is likely to be. So go for walks and learn something new. There are many other ways to be active. 33 ‎ Be connected. Regular involvement in social activities with supportive friends and family improves your ability to handle disappointments, and everything else life throws at you. 34 But you can be involved in any manner; even volunteering for an organization can help you be more social.‎ ‎ 35 The nature of these activities varies widely from person to person. The key is to identify what gives your life meaning. Volunteering, coaching, teaching, etc. all can contribute to increasing your sense of confidence and satisfaction with life. Many activities can address more than one. The key is to make a plan and stick with it. If you are already struggling, begin to practice these ways to help your recovery.‎ A. Here are three practical steps.‎ B. However, good mental health is important.‎ C. Stresses, disappointments and disasters happen.‎ D. Overcome life’s challenges before they happen.‎ E. Be devoted to activities that give life meaning.‎ F. The key is to find what keeps you motivated and interested.‎ G. This can be difficult when you move to a new town or as you get older.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45） ‎ 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ In 2017, something was wrong with the relationship between my boyfriend and me, which left me quite 36 .

We do this every year for Christmas and New Year. It’s kind of a family tradition we have. We go every year because we like to visit some family members living in Florida.

I was so excited to go on this trip because Christmas is my favorite holiday, but to top it off I was going to get to celebrate it with my family.‎ The next morning，my mother entered my room.“Stacy, wake up！We need to go to the airport so that we can get our plane tickets to Florida before they sell out.”‎ I jumped out of bed and got ready as fast as I could.

First let me introduce myself. My name is John Barker, and I work at an institution. As most of you know, I’m here to talk about students’ summer jobs. In many parts of the world, university students work in the summer. They need the money, and they can get some working experience. Traditionally, they get jobs as servers, cashiers, and lifeguards at swimming pools. ‎ ‎ These days, however, more and more students are working at dotcoms. Dotcoms are Internet-based companies which offer goods and services online. Today’s young people already know a lot about computers, and they can quickly learn more. The pay is usually much better than at the traditional summer jobs.‎ ‎ There are other advantages besides the pay. Students see dotcom jobs as a good start on their future. In addition to providing good experience, the work is also enjoyable for most. On top of this, their co-workers treat them with respect.‎ ‎ Dotcoms are new and need new ways of thinking. Imagination is more important than formal qualifications. So some students are even quitting school to start their own dotcoms.‎
