1．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
The Nobel Prize in Literature，which has been awarded annually almost every year since 1901，netted（凈賺）the winning author 747，000 pounds，a medal and a certificate，and the legal duty to deliver a lecture in Sweden at some future dates.The winner was selected，as usual，by the Swedish Academy，which also picked a second laureate （獲獎?wù)撸﹖his year to make up for the fact that no prize was presented in 2018 because of a scandal（丑聞）.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 was awarded to the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk for "a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic （百科全書式的）passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life".She won last year's Man Booker International Prize for her novel Flights.Her representative works include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019 was awarded to the Austrian author Peter Handke for "an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity（語言的獨(dú)創(chuàng)性）has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience".His representative works include A Sorrow Beyond Dreams and Slow Homecoming.
Before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners，there were also two nominees（被提名者）who have attracted much attention.Chinese people were keeping an eye on the nominee Can Xue.Can Xue，whose real name is Deng Xiaohua，was born in central China's Hunan Province in 1953.She had a tough childhood，working as a worker in a street factory for eight years.Her life experience has formed her own unique literary path.Can's books have been translated and published outside China.Frontier，published in the US in 2017，won attention and applause of the West.
The other hot guess was the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami whose books and stories had been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally，with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country.His work has received numerous awards.Internet users kept an eye on him in the Nobel Prize in Literature because he had become a hot guess for years.His representative works include Norwegian Wood，Kafka on the Shore and 1 Q84.

2．I live in central London.It's crowded.I see tons of people every day.The Uber driver.The office workers at rush hour.The cashiers at Sainsbury's ...Deep in my thoughts，I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes，without giving it much thought.It's becoming rare for me to make spontaneous （自發(fā)的） friendships.
My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships.She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story，talk to a sales assistant and become her friend，and talk to a man sitting nearby，get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting.These mindless chats have brought her many friends，and they have also solved many problems.I can't remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation.Sometimes I wish I could be more like her.But on reflection，it's something I can practice and you can too.
For me to change，I had to make a habit of some sort.Here are the three affirmations （肯定） I tell myself every day to be more open to people.
We are all fellow humans.We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.
Today is going to be a great day.Maybe I'll meet someone who will make my day.I might be saved by a stranger.I might even meet my future employer before even applying.
Opportunities are created by people.Whether it is a job or anything else，opportunities come from people talking to each other.
So next time you get your coffee，ride with a driver，wait in line or even sit in the underground，don't be afraid to interact with a stranger.It will affect their day；it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them，waiting to be found.
（1）Why does the author say that he is like a robot？
A．He has to work hard.
B．He is as smart as a robot.
C．He has little time to enjoy his life.

（2）What do we know about the author's mother？

B．She is fond of giving advice.
C．She has strong belief in magic.

（3）What did the author think about what his mother did？
A．It was helpful to her.
B．It was none of her business.
C．It should be more spontaneous.
D．It failed to solve any problems.
（4）What does the author suggest？

C．Communicating with those you encounter.
D．Avoiding sharing personal information with others.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．The murals（壁畫） are expected to fade within a year，but the city hopes a proposed （被提議的） street painting program will help participants build community and create a sense of place that will live on long after the paint wears away.
The program originated from a pilot project the City of Regina carried out in 2017 and 2018.The project saw members of the community gather to create a public artwork designed by the Neil Balkwill's artist Brendan Schick at the crosswalk of 14th Avenue and Montague Street in October 2017.
But seven months — and one winter season — after the first mural was painted，it had faded to nothing.Norman Kyle，director of roadways and transportation for the City of Regina，said the use of a stain （著色劑） instead of a road paint，as well as road use，contributed to the mural's quick demise. "We had a lot of calls and there were a lot of social media posts that were positive about the mural，" said Kyle. "They wished it would have lasted longer but given the fact that it is on a road with traffic and sand，just like our road markings，we have to refresh them every year to make them visible."
Citizens will be able to send proposals outlining what kind of mural their group or organization would like to paint and where.City administration will then assess the proposals.
If approved，a flat permit fee of ＄400 will be required to cover the cost of traffic accommodations （設(shè)施） including barricades and parking restrictions needed during painting and after as the paint dries.The permit fee will also cover the cost of reviewing the applications.The applicants will also be required to cover the cost of the paint needed to complete the mural.
"In the pilot project we felt it was successful because there was high community involvement and participation，" said Kyle. "It generated a lot of positive feedback from both the citizens and the community." He said he hopes community groups will continue to get involved，and as they do that it will spread throughout the city.
（1）What do we know about the pilot project？
A．It began in 2018.
B．It used a road paint.
C．It aimed to protect ancient murals.
D．It involved participants in street painting.
（2）What does the underlined word "demise" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Disappearance.
B．Completion.
C．Stop.
D．Hit.
（3）What is paragraph 5 mainly about？
A．How to paint murals.
B．How to apply for a mural.
C．What influences murals have on communities.
D．What costs applicants should cover to create the mural.
（4）What did Kyle say about the pilot project？
A．It has spread throughout the city.
B．It failed to be carried out smoothly.
C．It helped create a sense of neighborhood.
D．It caused a lot of trouble for city traffic.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

9．I watched with interest as my husband worked on his casting technique with his new fly rod （假蠅釣魚竿）.Fly fishing has always been an inviting sport to me because it requires more activity than just standing and waiting for a fish to pull your floater underwater.
I was asked to watch over the other four fishing poles he had brought with us.They were baited （裝誘餌） with live shrimp and had colorful floaters moving up and down on top of the water.I wanted to try my hand at casting the line too，but it was his pole，and I figured I would wait for him to wear its newness off.
He worked for a while and then complained that maybe he was throwing the line too hard and said he needed to work on his casting efforts.I made fun of him by saying something like： "You've got to put your whole self into it."
I had watched fly fishing on TV，and it seemed to me that when people fly fished，they used their entire body to work with the rhythm （節(jié)奏） of casting and pulling the fly through the water.
I couldn't stand it any longer.I wanted to see if I could cast the fly rod the way I had seen it done on television，so I jumped at my chance. "Could I try the fly rod？" I asked. "Sure，" he said， "but it is hard to do.I will probably have to help you."
I picked up the long pole with the yellow rope-looking line and caught the extra line in my left hand while drawing the pole back with my right hand.The bait was pulled awkwardly backward through the air.I immediately threw it forward.It dropped into the water，but it wasn't smooth.I tried again and again until I could feel a rhythmic movement.
After a while，the line was sailing easily.My husband was truly impressed when he saw me casting，and I was becoming sure of myself.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；（2）請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
I decided to try one nice，long，smooth casting motion._________
The next thing I knew，I was face down in the water.________組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
