The country's only licensed and bonded "pet detective", this 58-year-old former police officer is an expert on thinking like a dog or cat.‎ It all started in April 1998 when her beloved kitty, Norman, was stolen from the car after arriving at the vet's office. Pugh searched for Norman for 95 days, quitting her job because the search became all-consuming, and during that time she found 27 other lost pets. That's when she discovered she had a nose for finding clues - a paw print here, a broken spider web there.‎ While there are other pet finders, Pugh is the only person in the U. S. registered us a licensed pet detective - and there's a big difference. “Pet finders may make posters and phone calls, but they won't actively track your pet or get personally involved because they aren't bonded and can't afford to get sued(起诉)," says Pugh, who has never been sued. She was able to obtain a Private Investigator's license from the State of Washington in 2001 because of her background in law enforcement.‎ Pugh has returned more than 1,000 dogs and cats to their homes in almost every stale ‎ nationwide. Nearly two million companion animals are stolen each year, often right from their owner's yard, and then sold to research laboratories, dog fighting rings, or puppy mills.‎ ‎24. What do we know about Melody Pugh from Paragraph 1?‎ A. She is a caring vet. B. She is good at finding pets.‎ C. She comes from South Africa. D. She works as a police officer.‎ ‎25. When did Pugh find her gift for finding clues?‎ A. After she lost 27 pets. B. The time she arrived at the vet's.‎ C.95 days before she found Norman. D. When she was searching for her cat.‎ ‎26. What's the difference between Pugh and other pet finders?‎ A. She tracks the lost pets. B. She makes posters and phone calls.‎ C. She has never been accused. D. She is a licensed pet investigator.‎ ‎27. Which of the following best describes Pugh?‎ A. Demanding. B. Devoted. C. Stubborn. D. Tough.‎ C ‎2019 World Conference on VR Industry was held in Nanchang, China, with the goal of further satisfying people's growing demand for a better life, accelerating the modernization of China's cconomic system and its transformation into an innovation-oriented country, and promoting breakthroughs in the economic and social development of Jiangxi Province. The theme of the conference is "VR Adorns(装扮) the World - VR + 5G for a New Era of Perception(观念)". The virtual reality industry in Nanchang, capital city of East China's Jiangxi province, is expecting a boom when China grows in a new era of 5G this year, experts and industry insiders said at the conference.‎ The Conference attracted experts, scholars and company leaders from more than 30 countries, including the us, Germany, Britain, Russia, India and Israel, discussing the development and application of VR, especially as 5G, the next generation technology for network on devices like cellphones, unlocks the potential of VR. With a focus on the new era of perception enabled by 5G, this year's conference showed leading-edge VR technologies and the latest outcomes of the global VR industry.‎ Miao Wei, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in the opening address that with China officially getting 5G; commercial licenses on June 6th 2019, the ‎ co-development of VR and 5G promises a huge market in future. “China takes the lead in VR innovations. And the wide popularity of high-tech in our country guarantees the potential of this market,” said Miao.‎ China is building its VR industry into one with the most dynamic environments for innovation and entrepreneurship, highest market acceptance, and the greatest growth potential in the world.‎ ‎28. What is one of the aims of 2019 World Conference on VR Industry?‎ A. To promote 5G technology. B. To make Chinese people more creative.‎ C. To improve the economic development of Jiangxi. D.

VR, Technology for the Future D. VR Conference in Nanchang D Walking through a local park recently, I saw a teenage boy wearing a T-shirt that read: "Effort wins over talent." It reminded me of an idea 1 think about often, that if you believe you can learn new things and develop new skills, by working hard, you are more likely to achieve those goals. This critical insight was brought up by Dr. Carol Dweck, a Stanford University psychologist, as a "growth mindset".‎ According to Dr. Dweck's research, "talent is not fixed." Studies by Dweck and others have shown students who have a fixed mindset see new learning experiences as a moment to be judged, not an opportunity to learn. This can make learning a painful struggle, leading many to give up. Students who have a growth mindset, on the other hand, experience challenges as the way to learn and improve. They see hard work as being about learning. Overall, they learn and achieve at higher levels, even when they start out at the same place as those with fixed mindsets.‎ While Dweck identified growth mindset more than a decade ago, her insights were not made ‎ up. They have since been backed up by brain science, made possible by new technology that allows researchers to see images of the brain at work. Studies show that, when a person responds to new and difficult material by engaging in a struggle to learn, the neurons in their brain grow.‎ Believing that you can grow your abilities through effort-that talent is not fixed-is crucial(重要的). As Dweck puts it in her TED talk, we need to focus on showing young people the "Power of Yet" meaning, I haven't learned this yet, or I'm not good at this yet.‎ Growth mindset is an important idea for educators and schools, but it's also a powerful tool that everyone can use to help themselves to learn and achieve al high levels.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “insight” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Scenery. B. Research. C. Question. D. Idea.‎ ‎33. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?‎ A. By making comparisons. B. By giving explanations.‎ C. By listing examples. D. By describing details.‎ ‎34. Which of the following statements shows growth mindset?‎ A. “Wow, you are really gifted in maths." B. “I just don't understand it yet."‎ C. “You are a clever student." D. "My talents determine everything.‎ ‎35. What will the author probably discuss next?‎ A. Why to develop a better mindset. B. When to obtain a better mindset.‎ C. How to apply the growth mindset. D. Where to learn the growth mindset.‎ 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。‎ What happened? How did the web become “a hell that is fun, ruled by idiots and thieves"? 36 When Steve Jobs launched the iPhone in 2007, “the internet” and “real life” were still separate fields; people had to “get online" to move from one to the other. But a decade later, smartphones in hands, the distinction had disappeared. 37 ‎ The people behind the internet continued to believe that most users were versions of themselves, “white, male, age 25 to 34, college educated". 38 The average internet user became poorer, older, less white and less likely to speak English. Seen through this lens(镜片), crying over the decline of “the internet" is a bit like complaining that a favorite bar has been overrun by strangers.‎ ‎ 39 And the cultural influence of those early American users is steadily weakening Perhaps the most typical example of this is the rise of TikTok, an app that lets people create and share short, goofy videos. It is owned by ByteDance, a giant Chinese startup.‎ TikTok is unusual. When your home market is small or poor, it is hard to build global firms. All the same, even if the business of the internet remains fastened in California, its culture is expanding all the time. There is no longer such a thing as “the internet", but many internets, belonging to many people, distinct but overlapping. 40 ‎ A. It is not dying, just rebirthing.‎ B. In reality, things are entirely contrary.‎ C. The key is the iPhone, which affects our life greatly.‎ D. The smartphone, which brought the internet into everyday life.‎ E. Suddenly anyone could be online - everywhere and all the time.‎ F. It is the iPhone that should answer for the cultural influence of America.‎ C. Although America developed the internet, just 6% of its users are American.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节(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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Once a year in the town of Wuzhen all the tourists can be audience members.‎ Picture an entire town turned into one grand immersive(沉浸式) 41 : huge marionettes walking through a narrow, flagstone-paved lane, mother and daughter sitting 42 in a "paper" boat that 43 along a river, young couples whispering under a night sky 44 up by bloomed kites.‎ No matter where you go in the town of Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, during its 45 theater festival you are likely to 46 performances - and some in the unlikeliest of places, such as at the 47 of an otherwise quiet square, under the roofs of a moss-carpeted dock, and even on rowing boats.‎ Even tourists 48 of the festival will find themselves 49 in plays, dance and music, everybody being 50 to wander the 1,300-vear-old town's alleys, riverbanks and theater venues.‎ They can, for example, step into the "home" of the Italian director Eugenio Barba as he throws ‎ a "dinner party". "This is a very 51 way of thinking theater, that the audience are my 52 to share a dinner, and food are sounds, 53 , words, poetry," said Barba pleasingly, founder of the Odin Teatret of Denmark.‎ But those who wanted to watch The Tree were 54 to hand in their phones before performances. When the show began they sat 55 one another quietly, professionals and 56 alike, not knowing what the evening would bring.‎ What gradually 57 were various stories with a tree at their center.

When I was in secondary school, I never imagined that I would do this job. I didn’t know what to study at university. I was good at lots of science subjects, but I also loved entertaining people and I was good at Art. In the end, I went to a film school where I studied lighting, special effects, etc! It was there that I started to think about working in the video game industry. People also ask me what I like most about being a video game writer. Well, the money is good and it’s quite exciting. Just last night, for example, I was at a big dinner where they were giving prizes for new games. But what I love most is the fact that I get on well with everyone in the company. That’s what makes my job so much fun. ‎ 第二节到此结束，现在请用两分钟的时间把听力答案填涂在答题卡上。‎
