第一部分:閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分 50 分)第一節(jié)(共 15 小題;每小題 2.5 分,滿分 37.5 分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng), 并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

  • 1.The Great Wall,China
       Stretching over 21,000 kilometers,the Great Wall was built to prevent invasions and has a history of more than 2,000 years.UNESCO in February 2019 calls it an absolute masterpiece,not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.But perfection isn't protection.51.2 percent of the Great Wall either has had already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing.Besides for wind and rain erosion,the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism,construction,human contact and so on.
       Pamukkale,Turkey
       Pamukkale,which means "cotton castle" in Turkish,is famous for its shining white calcite terraces with warm and mineralrich waters flowing.
       Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988,Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities.People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools,some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo.To protect the terraces,the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.
       Great Barrier Reef,Australia
       Home to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish,the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.
       However,the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events,cases in which corals turn white and may die,according to a UNESCO report.The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years,according to a CNN report.Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.
       The Dead Sea,Jordan
       At 423 meters below sea level,the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean,meaning that the water is so dense,even tourists who can't swim will be able to float.
       But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the water's edge,which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years.The damage is irreversible due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.

    (1)Which are you required to visit without shoes?

    A.The Great Wall,China.
    B.Pamukkale,Turkey.
    C.Great Barrier Reef,Australia.
    D.The Dead Sea,Jordan.
    (2)Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A.Main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall come from wind and rain erosion.
    B.Pamukkale was damaged by human activities after 1988.
    C.Pollution and heat waves caused by global warming kill much coral in the Great Barrier Reef.
    D.Half of the Dead Sea surface area has disappeared in the past two decades.
    (3)What do the above spots have in common?

    A.They are all famous endangered natural spots.
    B.They're damaged only by human activities.
    C.They all draw the attention of the governments.
    D.They're all seriously damaged.

  • 2.Psychological stress is likely to surface during a human mission to Mars.Prof Jeff Johnson thinks an onboard "comedian" could keep spirits up during the long journey.He is drawing on his research on the differing team building approaches of competing polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott to prove his point.Amundsen's team made it to the South Pole and back while Scott's died on the return journey.
       Well,Roald Amundsen actually put people through tests before they set off to make sure that they would take orders and,in particular,whether they would challenge any of them.Amundsen would set up situations where there would be an ambiguous context to see what their responses would be,and if somebody questioned him,they were out.However,if you read Amundsen's diary,he writes that Lindstrom,the cook,was basically the most important person on the expedition.
       Lindstrom was the comedian.He didn't actually go to the South Pole,but you've got to remember that the walking expedition was a small component of the overall time that they were on the ice.They were there for well over a year,waiting to walk to the Pole.They had to wait during the winter and it's a very tense time when people are idle(懶散的).Lindstrom played an essential role in keeping the peace in the group when there were tense moments,and he would do something funny to get everybody to laugh,which would break the tension.
       There are individuals who have these certain natural abilities that you want to be able to recognize and include when you're putting together groups that are going to be isolated,such as those going into space.There are a number of different roles that we've discovered are important,but one of them is somebody who has humor.That's clearly important.So,you'd want to have somebody like Lindstrom,somebody who is not only good at what they have to do(he was a very good cook)but who also has another skillset beyond what's in the job description.
       We can put people together thinking that they're going to work together in a certain way,but over the course of time a crisis is bound to happen.There are the kinds of things that make groups more adaptable and help them function better.You can think about it in terms of atoms:when you put different elements together,they produce different kinds of things.It's the same with people.They may have their own characteristics,but when you put them together,they're going to create a different kind of situation and we want to have a better idea of what that might be.

    (1)By comparing Amundsen with Scott,the author intends to

    A.contradict his previous statements
    B.introduce the topic of the passage
    C.illustrate the importance of a comedian
    D.emphasize the necessity of team spirits
    (2)What was the very quality Amundsen was valuing in his interview?

    A.Willingness to take orders.
    B.Optimism about success.
    C.Eagerness to make progress.
    D.Curiosity about mysteries.
    (3)For what reason was Lindstrom regarded as a key figure on the expedition?

    A.He went against the command of Amundsen in every circumstance.
    B.He could make up many jokes about other team members to ease tension.
    C.Besides cooking tasty dishes,he was capable of easing tension when it arose.
    D.When a vacancy appeared,he was always ready to fill it in and made it work.
    (4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

    A.Comedians,keys to landing on Mars
    B.Atoms,roles of members in a team
    C.Teamwork,secret to overall success
    D.Amundsen,example for group leaders

  • 3.The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new.During the last five years,a large number of clothing companies,businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution.But there's a problem with this method.Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
       Dr.Mark Browne in Santa Barbara,California,has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now.He explains that every time synthetic(合成的) clothes go into a washing machine,a large number of plastic fibers fall off.Most washing machines can't collect these microfibers.So every time the water gets out of a washing machine,microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea.
       In 2011,Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash.Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world,and used a special way to examine each sample.He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
       This is bad news for a number of reasons.Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten.Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.
       Based on this evidence,it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental "solution".Even though the science has been around for a while,Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen.When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design,his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market,Browne didn't get a satisfying answer.Only one women's clothing company,Eileen Fisher,offered Browne funding.

    (1)What has happened during the past five years?

    A.Fabric has become much stronger.
    B.Plastic pollution has been less serious.
    C.Many plastics have been reused.
    D.Microfibers have been greatly improved.
    (2)What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes?

    A.It is adding microfibers to the clothes.
    B.It is worsening environmental problems.
    C.It is making synthetic clothes last longer.
    D.It is doing great damage to washing machines.
    (3)What can be inferred about Browne's Benign by Design research project?

    A.It has achieved great success.
    B.It hasn't got anything done.
    C.It is known to very few people.
    D.It is facing some difficulty.
    (4)What's the best title for the text?

    A.It's Important to Learn to Recycle
    B.Recycled Plastic Clothing:Solution or Pollution?
    C.It's Never Easy to Solve Pollution Problems
    D.Are Human Beings Moving Forward or Backward?

        It had been a few months since our beloved boxer Bama had passed away.He'd lived a good,long life.Alan and I didn't have children.Our boxer was our baby.After Bama's death,we couldn't bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep,so we put them all in the basement.I told myself I'd do it when I was ready.Apparently,I still wasn't.
        Now I sat in my yard and wept.Friends and family had suggested we get another dog,but Alan and I dismissed the idea.We couldn't go through that kind of heartbreak again.I gazed out over the yard.Across the street was a dog.A boxer.I wiped the tears from my eyes,heart beating wildly.Was he real or just wishful imagination?I took a second look.The boxer was still there.We locked eyes.He ran across the street,straight toward me.I offered my hand.He sniffed it eagerly,bushy tail wagging.He licked me.
        This dog was younger than Bama,smaller.He was well-fed and clean.He wore a collar but had no ID.I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood.But I'd never seen another boxer around.
        The dog lay down beside my feet,his tongue lolling in a doggie smile.He didn't seem lost.Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.
        "Alan!" I called. "You have to come see this!"
        Alan joined me,and we sat together in awe for a moment.Then the boxer got up and walked off.In the following days,he'd sometimes appear in the backyard when Alan and I were outside.Other times,he'd wait for us on the front porch.
        With each visit,I could feel the ache in my heart lessen.Seeing him was helping me work through my deep sorrow.
        At work one day,a young man and an older woman I'd never seen before came in.I took down the man's address to complete some paperwork and noticed he lived up the street from me.
        "Do you happen to have a dog?" I asked.___________
        "Not at all!Actually,he was a big help," I said.__________
