While stuck at home due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for?‎ The Palace Museum The Palace Museum is known as the Forbidden City. Although the museum is now closed due to the current epidemic prevention, it's possible for visitors to take a virtual tour of parts of the museum without actually setting foot on the majestic grounds.‎ Visitors can browse all the buildings of the Palace Museums. More than 400,000 imperial artifacts have been digitized online, which can definitely help you gain knowledge and immerse yourself in a cultural atmosphere.‎ The websites: https://pano.dpm.org.cn/gugong_app_pc/index.html https://www.dpm.org.cn/shuziduobaoge/html Shanghai Museum Shanghai Museum is a large and famous museum, which collects over 120,000 precious artistic relics from more than 5,000 years ago to the Qing Dynasty. The marvelous bronze, ceramics, paintings and calligraphies offer a visual feast for the eyes, and also provide a good ‎ chance for people to learn the profound Chinese history and culture.‎ If you are into ancient Chinese arts and crafts, then the online Shanghai Museum is definitely worth your time.‎ The website: https://www.shanghaimuseum.net/treasure/show/show Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves, also known as Thousand Buddha Grottoes, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located near Dunhuang in northwest China's Gansu Province.‎ Now visitors can directly browse dozens of classic caves and appreciate the murals(壁画) by cave rooms through the “Digital Dunhuang”, the website of the Mogao Caves. The development of “Digital Dunhuang” not only shocks visitors in a visual sense but also “moves” the Mogao Grottoes outside.‎ The website: https://www.e-dunhuang.com/index.html ‎21．The people interested in ancient Chinese arts and crafts should visit ________.‎ A．https://www.e-dunhuang.com/index.html ‎ B．https://www.dpm.org.cn/shuziduobaoge/html C.https://pano.dpm.org.cn/gugong_app_pc/index.html ‎ D．https://www.shanghaimuseum.net/treasure/show/show ‎22．What can the visitors see through “Digital Dunhuang”?‎ A．Precious imperial artifacts.

It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.‎ So how does it work? First you have to sign up for the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike.‎ Transport for London，which runs the scheme，is hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion(拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”．‎ However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldn’t dock their bikes properly and that their usage of the bikes had not been registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and said they wouldn’t charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”．Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.‎ Despite the comments，the greenthinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things，saying，“My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedalpowered push forwards.”‎ ‎24．London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike hire scheme in order to ________.‎ A．reduce the air pollution of the city B．deal with the city’s traffic problems C．increase employment opportunities D．encourage the citizens to take exercise ‎25．If you want to hire a bike，in which order will you do?‎ a．pay for the key to a bike b．sign up as a member to get a key c．cycle in and around central London d．pay according to the time you use the bike A．b→a→c→d B．b→d→c→a C．d→c→b→a D．d→b→c→a ‎26．All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPT ________.‎ A．the high cost to hire a bike ‎ B．docking the bikes properly C．not registering their usage of the bikes ‎ D．not charging for the first day of the scheme ‎27．From the passage，we can infer that ________.‎ A．the cycling revolution is not successful ‎ B．all the citizens in London support the scheme C．the London Mayor is confident of the scheme ‎ D．the scheme will be canceled because of the problems C The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.‎ David Tilman，a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota，America，examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化)，population increased and earnings rose，more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.‎ The Western diet is high in sugar，fat，oil and meat.By eating these foods，people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at higher risk of noninfectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease.‎ Unfortunately when people become industrialized，if they adopt this Western diet，they are going to have these health problems，especially in developing countries in Asia.China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20year period.And that is happening all across the world，in Mexico，in Nigeria and so on.‎ And，a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment.As the world’s population grows，more forests and tropical(热带的) areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle.We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.‎ Mr.Tilman calls the link between diet，the environment and human health，“a trilemma”，a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.‎ ‎28．According to the passage，more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from _____.‎ A．transportation　　　 B．developing countries ‎ C．agriculture D．developed countries ‎29．David Tilman believes that _______.‎ A．diet，the environment and human health are closely connected B．the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes C．people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease ‎ D．traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet ‎30．We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A．Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases ‎ B．overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases C．the examined information comes from developing countries D．industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet ‎31．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.‎ A．call on us to protect the environment ‎ B．remind us of the importance of health C．warn us of the danger of the Western diet ‎ D．advise us to have a balanced diet D Are you smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher --- on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the “Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.‎ IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores? ‎ Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills. ‎ Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and ‎ discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them. ‎ According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be. ‎ ‎32. What is the function of the third paragraph? ‎ A. To list the findings of Professor Flynn’s research. ‎ B. To provide possible explanations that disprove Flynn’s ideas. ‎ C. To outline different theories explaining the increase in IQ scores. ‎ D. To describe how research was carried out in the measuring of intelligence. ‎ ‎33. According to the passage, newer educational techniques include _________. ‎ A. exposing children to fewer tests ‎ B. giving children clearer teaching instructions ‎ C. getting children to memorize lots of information ‎ D. encouraging children to find out things themselves ‎ ‎34. The writer believes that computer games _________. ‎ A. have discouraged people from taking exercise ‎ B. have made young people become less intelligent ‎ C. have helped improve people’s visual intelligence ‎ D. have caused young people to have poorer vocabularies ‎ ‎35. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with? ‎ A. People today are taking easier tests. ‎ B. People today have fewer problems to solve. ‎ C. Not all aspects of intelligence have increased. ‎ D. The language ability of people has improved.‎ 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。‎ Ways to Have an Amazing Day I’m a big believer in the Law of the Harvest: we harvest what we sow.If we plant the seeds of success every day，we will get a successful harvest.36.__________‎ Try New Things So many of life’s great experiences wait just on the other side of our fears or our comfort zone.When the opportunity to try something new comes up，ask yourself，“Why not？”37.________ Don’t miss out on the great moments that are waiting all around you every day!‎ Keep Learning When we were kids it seemed like every day had something new that we hadn’t experienced before.That’s why young children will ask their parents“Why？” about a thousand times a week.38.__________ A lifetime of learning leads to a love for life.‎ Be Kind It has been said that you can measure a person by how he treats the people who can do nothing for him.How often do you stop to talk to the people you encounter every day？One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know.39.__________And take a moment to learn a little about them.‎ Find a Purpose ‎40．_________ It may be to run a marathon，write a book，start a business，develop a product，or learn a new hobby or profession.‎ A．Have one or more big “life goals”．‎ B．If we delay the planting，we cannot have a good harvest.‎ C．We are learning and growing.‎ D．You have to make the most of every day in life.‎ E．Provide meaningful services for other people in any situation.‎ F．Many of the great moments in life are linked to new experiences.‎ G．The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Back on the first day of school, Ms. Ryan told all the children that at the end of the year there would be a class party.
