Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the
hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors ( 传 言 ) warned that the newest
employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us
to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an
interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every
Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were
visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t
believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When
the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how
much better off was than this poor woman.
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the
unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the
newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a
letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece
and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work …”
24. How did the author feel on that rainy day?A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Awkward. D. Proud.
25. What was the author asked to do?
A. Take care of patients. B. Leave earlier that day.
C. Resign from the hospital. D. Help the laid-off workers.
26. How did the author help the Cookie Lady?
A. He offered her a high-paid job.
B. He gave her advice on job hunting.
C. He made her story known to others.
D. He taught her how to pass an interview.
27. What does the story tell us?
A. Good deeds have their rewards.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Little people can make a big difference.
D. Love brings more joy to people than work does.

Nature is like a great magician, performing wonders on Earth. One of them is the Amazon
rainforest, the world’s largest and home to millions of plants and animals. Nicknamed “the lungs of
our planet”,it generates about one-fifth of Earth’s oxygen. However, this wonderful natural wonder
is currently in danger.
Thousands of fires have broken out in Brazil, endangering much of the rainforest. These blazes
have lasted several weeks and are believed to be the “most intense” in almost a decade ,according to
BBC News.
The Amazon has seen a large number of fires in 2019. Between January and August, there were
over 74,000 fires — the highest number since 2013, the BBC reported.
Forest fires are common during the dry season, which runs from July to October. They are
usually caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes. However, most of the fires this year are
believed to be caused by farmers, who use fire as a traditional part of tropical agriculture to clean
land, reported CNN.
The disaster has raised concern around the world. The Amazon rainforest is important for
preventing climate change, said the BBC, absorbing millions of tons of carbon annually. When trees
are cut down or burned, the rainforest’s capacity (能力)to absorb carbon is reduced.
Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he was worried. If more than 20 percent of
the ecosystem is destroyed, the Amazon rainforest could reach a “tipping point (临界点)’’,where
the thick jungle will turn into a tropical savannah (大草原).
Nobre warned that it is not far off, with between 15 and 17 percent of the rainforest having
already been destroyed.
The Brazilian government has sent soldiers to fight the fires. Many people have offered their
support and called for recovery efforts. For example, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said he wanted to
donate money and US Actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmental charity, Earth Alliance, created a
donation fund to help deal with the crisis.The public are also encouraged to donate to charities concerned with rainforest preservation (保
护)“Every little bit helps in a tragic situation like this,” commented Gizmodo.
28.The underlined word “intense” in Para.2 probably means .
A. natural B. fierce C. common D. unexpected
29.What is the main cause of forest fires in the Amazon rainforest this year?
A .Lightning strikes. B. Hot weather.
C. Agricultural activities. D. Garbage left by tourists.
30. What was Nobre worried about in the article?
A. Global temperatures will rise.
B. The Amazon rainforest is close to disappearing.
C. Animals in the Amazon rainforest are under threat.
D. It will take decades for the Amazon rainforest to recover.
31.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. What the Brazilian government has done to fight fires.
B. Celebrities who care about rainforest preservation.
C. The possible future of the Amazon rainforest.
D. Efforts made to save the Amazon rainforest.
D
COPENHAGEN - Greenland on Friday dismissed the idea that it might be up for sale after
reports that US President Donald Trump had privately discussed with his advisers the idea of buying
the world's biggest island. "We are open for business, but we're not for sale,” Greenland's foreign
minister Ane Lone Bagger told Reuters.
Trump is due to visit Copenhagen in September and the Arctic will be on the agenda(议程)during
meetings with the prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland.
Talk of a Greenland purchase was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Two sources
familiar with the situation told Reuters that the idea had been laughed off by some advisers as a joke
but was taken more seriously by others in the White House. Danish politicians on Friday poured
scorn on the idea. "It has to be an April Fool's joke. Totally out of season,” former prime minister
Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Twitter.
Greenland, a self-ruling part of Denmark located between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans,
is dependant on Danish economic support. It handles its own domestic affairs while Copenhagen
looks after defense and foreign policy.
"I am sure a majority in Greenland believes it is better to have a relation to Denmark than the
United States, in the long term," Aaja Chemnitz Larsen, Danish MP(国会议员)from Greenland's
second-largest party Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA),told Reuters. "My immediate thought is ‘No, thank you',"
she said.
Greenland is gaining attention from global super powers including China , Russia and the
United States due to its strategic location and its mineral resources.
Martin Lidegaard,senior lawmaker of the Danish Social Liberal Party and a former foreign minister, called the idea "a grotesque( 怪 诞 的 )proposal" which had no basis in reality. "We are
talking about real people and you can't just sell Greenland like an old colonial power," he told
Reuters. "But what we can take seriously is that the US stakes(利害关系)and interest in the Arctic is
significantly on the rise and they want a much bigger influence,” he added.
32. Which of the following is TRUE about Greenland?
A. It is short of natural resources.
B. It is an autonomous Danish territory.
C. It is dependent on American economic support.
D. It possesses its own defense and foreign policy.
33. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word "scorn" in Para. 3?
A. Words that show approval of or admiration for something.
B. A situation in which it is very difficult to decide what to do.
C. The feeling that something is stupid or does not deserve respect.
D. The quality of making someone continue doing something even when this is difficult.
34. What does Martin Lidegaard mainly want to express in the last paragraph?
A. The profit of selling Greenland to America.
B. The difficulty in selling Greenland to America.
C. The proper process of the Greenland purchase.
D. The real motivation of the Greenland purchase.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?
A. Greenland tells Trump it is not for sale
B. Trump favours the idea of buying Greenland
C. Greenland is gaining attention from global super powers
D. Trump is to meet prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland

more often than not.
In most Western countries, however, kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18.
39 . Also, if they choose to keep living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen
by some as a failure on their part.While the East cares more about close family bonds, the West values privacy and

aiming for, and then 57 in a way that will achieve that outcome. In Robert and Howard’s

included. Yet their reactions to each other brought them the exact opposite. Actually, the 60 here

Dear Chris,
Traditionally, getting together is very important for Chinese families, especially when the Spring
Festival is coming. Undoubtedly, people living in or outside their hometown, home or abroad, will
eagerly hurry home before the day at all cost, and flood to work or school after that, for which
Spring Festival travel rush comes into sight spectacularly.
The Spring Festival travel rush lasts for over one month. During the rush, what impresses you
most is its huge scale. In every corner of China 3 billion passengers pour in or pour out by train, by
airplane, by bus or by car. For public transportation, people can reserve tickets online efficiently and
effectively.
All in all, if you need to know more, just come to China to experience personally.
Yours,
Li Hua

It is really difficult for American university students to develop good health habits, but many
students do manage to live a very healthy lifestyle.
Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through organized teams or classes in
yoga, soccer, volleyball and other fitness activities, or by providing recreation centers where students
can exercise, swim, work out or play different sports.
Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a challenge. However, as American
society becomes more educated and concerned about health problems, even some fast food
restaurants offer healthy alternatives such as salads, soups and low-fat sandwiches.
There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools too. In addition, schools usually include
a student health center where students can seek medical attention. This is really a bonus for the
students, because a simple doctor’s appointment can cost a hundred dollars, and a short hospital stay
will cost thousands.
