Droplets can be transmitted far longer when sneezing and coughing than speaking, so apart from keeping 1 to 2 meters of distance, also remember to wear a mask when you are close to someone else.‎ * Washing hands can reduce risk of getting infected Please wash your hands promptly and properly after touching elevator buttons or using cash. Do not touch your nose or mouth or rub your eyes before washing your hands. Do not use smart phones while eating.‎ * Receiving delivered packages at home not dangerous Though the virus might be attached to the packaging of delivered items, the possibility of transmission through express delivery is extremely low.‎ Before going out to take your delivery, remember to wear a mask. After removing the packaging, please wash your hands.‎ ‎* Sun exposure cannot kill the virus The temperature of sun light cannot reach 56℃, and the ultraviole（t ‎紫外线）‎ rays in sunlight cannot reach the intensity of ultraviolet lamps, so the virus can’t be killed by the sunlight. If you want to go out to get some sun, please wear a mask and take other protective measures.‎ * Taking a hot bath or using air conditioning cannot kill the virus Although the virus is vulnerable（脆弱的） to heat. It can only be after exposure to a 56°C temperature for over 30 minutes.‎ * Woolen fabric doesn’t retain virus longer It is believed that the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces and stays on woolen fabrics for a shorter time. At home or before going out, it is not necessary to consider which kind of material has less chance to absorb the virus—choosing comfortable clothes is enough.‎ After returning home, please wash your hands, sterilize the clothes and dry the clothes.‎ 21. What are you suggested to do when taking delivered packages?‎ A. Wear a mask. B. Take a hot bath. C. Open packages. D. Dry the clothes.‎ 22. According to the passage, the following sentences are right EXCEPT that .‎ A. the virus is vulnerable to heat B. the virus can be transmitted via droplets C. the virus prefers smooth, non-porous surfaces D. the virus cannot be killed by the ultraviolet rays 23. We can probably read this passage from .‎ A. a textbook B. an advertisement C. a travel brochure D. a science magazine B One of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect, which ‎ says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence. Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies. And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development. He was history's greatest child genius, performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot".‎ So, if you have kids or you're expecting to have them, how seriously should you take the Mozart effect? Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle (摇篮)‎ be limited to an ordinary life? Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart?‎ Relax. There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive( 认 知 ) abilities. The whole idea comes from a small study done in ‎1993,which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major(K 448)showed some improvement in a test of spatial(空间的) skills.‎ This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician, Don Campbell, in a book. Campbell's claims about the superpowers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart-based enrichment activities. In 1998.for example, the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical-music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state.‎ Since then, scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it. The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999,and the increase students' spatial skills was found to be insignificant. In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart development and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence.‎ 21. Why do people relate Mozart to children's intelligence development?‎ A. Because he was a royal Austrian composer.‎ B. Because he owned extraordinary music talent.‎ C. Because he could perform music as a little child.‎ D. Because his music is suitable for pregnant women. 25.What can we learn from the small study in 1993?‎ A. It added to the popularity of Mozart's music.‎ B. The finding was originally discovered by a musician.‎ C. It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music.‎ D. Evidence was found to support Mozart effect on intelligence. 26.What does the underlined word probably mean？‎ A. Sudden． B．unimportant． C. Average． D. Steady． ‎ ‎27.What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. New Findings: Mozart Effect to Be Proved.‎ A. Secrets Uncovered :History of Mozart Effect.‎ B. Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter?‎ C. How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence?‎ C One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when a young woman jumped on. She had a child with her who was about three or four years old. The bus was full, bumpy （颠簸的），and it soon got noisy, as her kid began crying — he was upset that he couldn't sit next to his mother. She looked embarrassed.‎ Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The mum smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that raised the entire energy of that bus ride：‎ ‎"I've been there.”‎ Simple, undramatic, and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite the diverse people of the city. Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. They're universal. We forget that as we go through life, focused on our own troubles and needs — which are actually less unique than we think.‎ Sometimes painful past experiences prevent us from wanting to open up to others because we don't want to revisit our own history. But a wonderful way to honor your past hurt is to help comfort another's current pain.‎ When I was a little girl, we lived on donations from local families and clothing from the "‎ lost and found" baskets. It was shameful for me at the time — I lived in fear of being caught in a friend' s cast-off item.‎ Even when it was warmer, I refused to take off a layer in the classroom for this reason. Now I don't meet people who are in this exact situation, but I do notice when someone is struggling with financial shame or feels less than other people they meet. And I'm quick to say some version of, "I've been there."‎ Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice, or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortable — because we're all in this together.‎ 28. What influence did the older woman's words have on the people around?‎ A. Causing discomfort. B. Breaking long silence.‎ C. Creating a heated debate. D. Inspiring common feelings. 29.What does the author think of personal troubles and needs?‎ A. They are mostly shared experiences.‎ A. They don't really matter to anyone.‎ B. They will be forgotten with time.‎ C. They are unique to each individual.‎ 30. Why did the author refuse to take off the coat in the classroom?‎ A. Because she had the same sweater with others.‎ B. Because she stole the sweater from someone.‎ C. Because she liked wearing the coat in summer.‎ A. Because she felt embarrassed wearing others' clothes. 31.What's the best title for the text?‎ A. Painful Experiences Are No Big Deal B. The Best Way to Honor Your Past Hurt C. True Happiness Comes from Helping Others D. Three Little Words That Bring Us Together D.‎ What do extreme marathoners, mountain hikers and professional bicycle racers all have in common? They push their bodies to unsustainable(不可持续的）extremes of physical stress.‎ We tend to think there's no limit to human physical achievements. But a new study, published in Science Advances, says there is a definite limit to human endurance(耐力). Beyond that, our bodies begin to break down.‎ To find the limit, a US research team tracked marathon runners over a five-month period. measuring competitors' initial basal metabolic rates(BMR,基础新陈代谢率）－ the amount of energy they expend when they rest. Then they looked at how many calories(卡路里）each runner burned per day.‎ The team found that the maximum amount of energy a human can expend is 2.5 times of BMR. It equals 4,000 calories of energy per day. These calories can help a trained athlete to run about 42 kilometers in a day.‎ But people can't keep using this amount of calories all the time."You can do really intense stuff for a couple of days, but if you want to last longer then you have to dial it back.” US evolutionary anthropologist Herman Pontzer told the BBC.‎ Pontzer explained that the problem is our guts (消化道 ). There’s a limit to how many calories our guts can effectively absorb per day, he said in Daily Mail. At that point, the body is burning calories more quickly than it can absorb food and convert(转 化）it into energy.‎ These new findings could help athletes to best work underneath this ceiling. For example, they could manage their daily exercise time based on their BMR to get enough calories and keep going.‎ However, Pontzer's team can't rule out the possibility of someone breaking this limit."So guess it's a challenge to elite endurance athletes, "said Pontzer."Science works when you' re proven wrong. Maybe someone will break through that ceiling some day and show us what we're missing."‎ ‎32. What did the US research team find in the new study?‎ A .One's endurance can be improved through exercise.‎ B. A trained athlete can do intense activities for more than a week.‎ C. The average BMR for athletes is 4.000 calories of energy per day.‎ D. The energy one can expend is no more than 2.5 times of their BMR per day. 33.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 6?‎ A. To tell us the problem with our guts.‎ B. To show how our bodies produce energy.‎ C. To explain why there is a limit to human endurance.‎ D. To prove the importance of our guts to physical activities. 34.The new findings could help athletes .‎ A. keep a more balanced diet B. save time and reduce stress C. arrange their training properly D. improve their performance quickly 35.Which of the following would Pontzer probably agree with?‎ A. It's possible that someone could break the endurance limit.‎ B. It's no good trying to work above the 2.5x endurance ceiling.‎ C. Further data is needed to make the study's results more accurate.‎ D. The 2.5x endurance ceiling is not a problem for many elite athletes.‎ 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填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两 项为多余选项。‎ Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. 36 Here are some major cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding.‎ Privacy Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They ‎ talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive（侵扰的）.‎ Family In China ,elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. 37 ‎ Friends Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. 38 Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.‎ Money ‎ 39 They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ Basically, China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it's because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something in China it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated.‎ A. Collectivism vs. Individualism B. Education and Career vs. Character and Faith C. You're welcome to leave your comments.‎ D. As is known to all, the Chinese like to save.‎ E. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship.‎ F.
