26、   The virus,COVID-19 has brought us health and economic challenges.Our major concern is strengthening the importance of family,community,health care and food security.But the good news is that while society adapts to a new normal,nature is continuing to provide us with vital services.Wetlands are filtering(过滤)drinking water and holding back floods.The roots of cottonwoods are binding soil and keeping it from being washed away along rivers and streams. Urban trees will soon multiply their service of purifying air and shading our streets and homes. All point to nature’s important role in our well-being,and that we need nature’s services now more than ever.

Perhaps the most important service that nature provides is how contact with the natural world can benefit us.There is clear evidence that spending time in nature improves our well-being.Even just looking at pictures of wildlife,virtually exploring nature and making plans to visit natural areas once it is safe to do so can help to improve our mental health.

28、   Oxford Dictionaries has named “climate emergency” as its 2019 Word of the Year, choosing it from an all-environmental shortlist that also included “climate action” “climate denial” “eco-anxiety” and “extinction”.

The Word of the Year is intended to highlight a word or expression shown through language usage evidence to reflect the public concern of the passing year, and has a lasting potential as a term of social significance. Previous winners included “toxic” “youthquake” and “post-truth”.

Normally, the shortlist includes a variety of different words that show new trends in language usage evidence. While the choices were often related to political trends, Katherine Connor Martin, an editor at Oxford Dictionaries, said the unusual trend to focus on climate-related terms reflected an increasing public concern in the language around climate.

“When we were looking through the evidence, it was just clear that topics relating to the climate were running through all the different texts we were working with,” she said. “It reflects it was a real concern of the English-speaking world in 2019.”

The use of the term “climate emergency” increased by one hundred times since 2018, according to data collected in the Oxford Corpus, a database containing hundreds of millions of words of written English. In fact, it was the most common compound involving（涉及） “emergency”, occurring three times as often as the next most-common, health emergency.

In part, Ms. Martin noted, this reflects a deliberate decision by some news organizations including The Guardian, to use climate emergency or climate crisis（危机）instead of climate change, to better convey the urgency of the situation.

Oxfords choice of an all-environmental shortlist, Ms. Martin said, did not reflect a deliberate decision to focus people’s attention, but a reading, if a necessarily subjective one, of the evidence in language usage.

“When we considered all the possibilities, we found a huge amount of language usage evidence this year was concerned with ecology,” she said.

【1】Why is the Word of the Year significant？

A.It is about the cultural hot topics.

B.It forecasts the economic developments.

C.It is related to the ecological movements.

D.It reflects the major social concerns and trends.

【2】Which expression is most probably related to a political trend according to the text？

A.Youthquake. B.Climate action. C.Eco-anxiety. D.Extinction

【3】Oxford Dictionaries has selected its Word of the Year from ______.

A.newspapers such as The guardian. B.all the published articles in the world

C.the whole database of the Oxford Corpus. D.the written English texts of the passing year.

【4】What did Ms Martin think of the Oxford’s all-environmental shortlist？

A.It is intentionally chosen to catch people’s attention.

B.It is based on the editors’ subjective selection of language data.

C.It is more reliable than the news report from the news organizations.

D.It shows the latest trends in language usage throughout the world.

29、   In life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse. What's sad is that even if it's the later，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that we don't even recognize that they could be different.

This is what psychologists call functional fixedness.

The inability to think in new ways affects people in every comer of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase frozen thoughts to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes，the complacent（自满的）reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview，even when there was ample evidence for them. Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence，she said. “It can be found in highly intelligent people.

Ardent considered critical thinking to be a moral imperative-in its absence，a society could go the way of Nazi Germany.

Another context in which frozen thinking can turn truly dangerous is medieine. If you land in the hospital，it's natural to want to be treated by the most experienced physicians. But according to a 2014 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association（JAMA），you'd be better off being treated by the relative novices. The authors of the study explained that most errors made by doctors are connected to a tendency to form opinions quickly，based on experience. In cases that are not routine，the expert doctors may miss important aspects of the problem that are not consistent with their initial analysis. As a result，although junior doctors may be slower and less confident in treating run-of the mill cases，they can be more open-minded with unusual cases.

Fortunately，psychologists have found that anyone can unfreeze his or her thinking. One of the most effective ways is to introduce a little discord to one's intellectual interactions. Experiments have shown that it can not only sway（使动摇）us with regard to the issue at hand；it can also thaw frozen thinking in general，even in contexts unrelated to the original discussion.

【1】Which of the following will Ardent agree with?

A.Many deeply held ideas are worth questioning.

B.Intelligent people tend to be more open-minded.

C.Critical thinking can save us from a world of conflict.

D.Believing in so-called truths can blind our judgement.

【2】What results in most errors made by doctors?

A.Inadequate preparation. B.A lack of proper training.

C.Over-reliance on experience. D.Wrong approaches in initial analysis.

【3】What does the underlined part“run-of-the-mill”in paragraph 5 mean?

A.rare. B.complicated.

C.novel. D.regular.

【4】What is the suitable title for the passage?

A.Unfreeze Your Brain B.Follow It Or Break It

C.Critical Thinking Matters D.What Shapes Your Thinking

A

I have the【1】(great)job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world. Sometimes using【2】(science)equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never【3】(bore).Although my job is occasionally dangerous, I don’t mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people【4】 one of the most powerful forces on earth—the volcano.

B

Water is a precious resource. Every person needs it【5】 (survive),and we use it for cooking, drinking, growing our food and washing. However，it is scarce(缺乏的).Just 1% of water on Earth can【6】 (use)by humans. What’s more，treating water to make it clean and safe and pumping it to our homes uses up lots of energy. So, what can you do to help save water? One easy way is by【7】(turn)off the tap when you brush your teeth.

C

Robbie Phillips has become the first British person to complete one of the toughest challenges in rock climbing. 【8】(know)as the Alpine Trilogy(阿尔卑斯三部曲),the challenge consists of three climbs on mountains in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, 【9】Phillips completed in four years.

35、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.

And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

36、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Knowledge is free on the Internet at a small but 【1】 number of colleges and universities. About 160 schools around the world now put free course materials on the web to the 【2】. Recent additions in the United States 【3】 projects at Yale, Johns Hopkins and the University of California, Berkeley.

Berkeley said it would offer videos of lectures on YouTube. Free videos from other schools are 【4】 at the Apple iTunes store.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became an early 【5】 with its Open Course Ware project, first 【6】 in 2001. Free lecture notes, exams and other resources are published at ocw.mit.edu. Many exams even include the answers. Today, Open Course Ware offers materials from 1,800 undergraduate and graduate courses. These 【7】 from Physics to Political Science. Visitors can learn the same things as MIT students learn. But as the site points out, Open Course Ware is not an MIT education. Visitors receive no credit toward a degree. Some materials from a course may not be available, and the site does not provide 【8】 with teachers. Still, MIT says that the site has had forty million visits by thirty-one million visitors from almost every country. Sixty percent of the visitors are from outside the United States and Canada. Students and educators use the site, including students at MIT. But the largest number of visitors, about half, are self-learners.

Some professors have become well-known around the world as a result of 【9】 online. Walter Lewin, a physics professor at MIT, is 【10】 popular. Fans enjoy his entertaining lectures. MIT Open Course Ware now includes materials for high school. The aim is to improve education in Science, Technology, Math and Engineering.

37、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

41、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft (手艺) no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. There is no doubt that these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.

Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.

One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.

The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
