I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to transform dreams into reality, but also for
its power to bond together those who share a common vision of the future. For me, that’s true for my relationship
with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek.
We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn’t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋
舰)on the screen.
Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at
night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining.
Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together
created a private universe for my dad and me.
Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that
bypasses( 绕 过 )a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science
fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for
the future. I’m now a science writer.
Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd” (书呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family,
making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors
who have shared their visions; the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the beststoryteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson’s words, “Since
I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be.”
24. What is the special bond between the author and his father?
A. Their similar dreams.
B. Their love for each other.
C. Their common interest.
D. Their hatred for science.
25. What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?
A. His deep impression on his dad.
B. His feeling of staying with his dad.
C. His earliest memory of his dad.
D. His good relationship with his dad.
26. How does science fiction help the author at present?
A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career.
B. It brings him the courage to live better.
C. It helps him solve the danger of technology.
D. It makes him become a source of his family’s joy.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The Wonders of Science
B. The Power of Science Fiction
C. The Versions of Science Fiction
D. The Time together with My Father

If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America — and their
Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic-wrapped snacks, their plastic waste would likely still
be around four centuries later. Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And
those bits might still be floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by some fish or oyster, and
finally perhaps by one of us.
Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and its production only really took off around 1950,
we have a mere 9. 2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6. 9 billion tons have become waste.
And of that waste, a surprising 6. 3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin — the figure that shocked the
scientists who published the numbers in 2017.
No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, the earth’s last sink. In 2015, Jenna
Jambeck, a University of Georgia engineering professor, caught everyone’s attention with a rough estimate:
between 5. 3 million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just come from coastal regions.
Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine( 海 洋 的 )animals every year. Nearly 700
species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are harmed visibly, stuck by
abandoned things made of plastic. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from
zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across.
“This isn’t a problem where we don’t know what the solution is,” says Ted Siegler, a Vermont resource
economist who has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on garbage. “We know how to pick
up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” It’s a matter of building the
necessary institutions and systems, he says, ideally before the ocean turns into a thin soup of plastic.
28. Why does the author mention the Pilgrims in paragraph 1?
A. To prove plastic was difficult to invent.
B. To introduce what marine animals like eating.C. To tell the Pilgrims contributed a lot to the marine protection.
D. To show plastic waste has a lasting effect on the ocean.
29. What’s the main trouble marine animals face according to the text?
A. Lacking protection. B. Being stuck by plastics.
C. Being caught by humans. D. Treating plastics as food.
30. What does Ted Siegler want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Some people don’t know the solution of plastics waste.
B. Plastics will turn the ocean into a soup of plastic.
C. It’s time to take measures to deal with plastic waste.
D. People should avoid using plastics to protect the ocean.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook. B. A travel brochure.
C. An environmental report. D. A lifestyle magazine.
D
A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge the sizes of dangerous
metal objects and identify them. “These items could include weapons, chemicals, laptops and batteries for bombs,”
the research team said on Tuesday.
Research suggested that Wi-Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water, acid, alcohol
and other chemicals for explosive material. The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network
Laboratory(WINLAB)in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas(天线)that
could be fitted in existing Wi-Fi networks.
The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or
materials. The approach, which the paper states, works by separating the wireless interference(干扰)caused by two
factors of objects — the material and shape. “Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid,
which have significant interference,” researchers said.
When it was tested on a backpack, the accuracy rate topped 95 percent. “But the accuracy dropped to about 90
percent when objects inside bags are wrapped. And the tech could save lives if used in museums, stadiums, theme
parks or schools,” the team said, noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy.
It uses channel state information(CS)that is readily available in low-cost Wi-Fi devices. “This could have a
great impact on protecting the public from dangerous objects,” said Yingying Chen, a co-author of the study,
“There’s a growing need for that now. In large public areas, it’s hard to set up expensive screening equipment like
what’s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce
manpower. “
The peer-reviewed study, which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEE Conference on
Communications and Network Security, is now published online. “Future work will continue to focus on
ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes,” researchers said.
32. What does paragraph 3 talk about?
A. The function of the technique.
B. The way the device works.
C. The principle the study is based on.
D. The benefit of the study findings.
33. What’s the advantage of the device?A. It saves people in danger of natural disasters.
B. It passes through bags without damaging them.
C. It uses antennas to pick up networks’ signals.
D. It protects personal information from being exposed.
34. Why did the researchers study the device according to Yingying Chen?
A. To save money and labour.
B. To make full use of Wi-Fi.
C. To protect passengers’ privacy.
D. To research dangerous objects.
35. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ameliorating” in the last paragraph?
A. Confirming. B. Improving.
C. Discovering. D. Examining.
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。
You don’t need to be a world-class mountaineer to stand out in a job interview. Here’s my advice on how to
nail the most common interview question.
Most people are so eager to show off what they’ve been involved in. Don’t worry, and there will be time for
that. The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise. “Tell me about
yourself” is a question you’re certain to be asked at any job interview. 36 However, sharing something
that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea. It will allow the interviewer to know
something about your life outside of work.
Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves. I’ve heard people talk about everything from
being a world-class sushi chef to an ice carver. 37 Such as you participate in competitive sports, you’re an
accomplished（技艺高超的）pianist and you’re writing your first detective novel. If the information showcases a
unique aspect of yourself, and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job, then go for it.
Another way to think about the question is: “What gets you up every morning? ” The person also wants to
know what your sense of passion and purpose is. That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America, for
example, shows you have a global perspective. 38 It doesn’t matter how big or small the accomplishment is,
as long as it shows you’re struggling to improve yourself. When people are motivated by contributing to something
bigger than themselves, they get more satisfaction.
39 Relax, be yourself and tell the truth. Don’t approach the interview like you’re trying out for Broadway.
It’s more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and “play the part”. Also, if you overstate
what you’ve done or fully invent a story about yourself, you’ll be exposed. 40
A. Take a risk to get personal.
B. Showing honesty is one of the most important things.
C. Running your first 10 kilometers shows you like a challenge.
D. And then everything you say about yourself will be questioned.
E. It’s also important to tell it in a way that makes you memorable.
F. Too many people respond to it by giving a recital of their resume.
G. “Tell me about yourself” is an invitation for you to share brief information.

The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my
surprise, my 41 wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking
my life to keep my 42 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local
43 center.
When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 44 . Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor
chairs with lines 45 to their veins（ 静 脉 ）, and machines quietly pumping away to 46 their life--
saving gifts.
Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor
chair, ready to make a 47 to the life of someone I would never 48 .
To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just did it. 49 a few months ago, during
one of my 50 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn
baby — both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 51
ever since.
My wife Karen is a 52 , too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow（ 骨 髓 ）list for
fifteen years, ever since she 53 to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia（白血病）. That
little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently. Her test results
were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 54 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she
would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering
questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was to 55 against time.
I wish I could say that this race was 56 . Unluckily, it wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her
participation and asked a few more questions — including whether or not she’d 57 on the donor list. “Of course,”
Karen answered.
We still keep making appointments. I don’t know whose life my donation may 58 . Most likely it will
be a 59 , but on some day the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is
worthwhile to 60 our time to donate. I like the sense of giving.

One runner didn’t let the French government’s order to remain indoors prevent him 61 (train)for a
marathon during the coronavirus pandemic（新冠肺炎疫情期间）.
Last week, Elisha, a 32-year-old restaurant worker, ran the 62 (long)of a marathon — on his 23-foot
long balcony. And he did it in six hours and 48 minutes, a personal record nearly double 63 of his
previous finish time.
Although he has run 26 marathons, he said his balcony marathon was the most challenging. “My only pleasure
is running, and I don’t care 64 long it takes, ”he told CNN. Due to 65 (limit)space of the balcony,
he was unable to gain speed as he had to 66 (constant)turn back and forth. He said he ran about 3, 000 laps. Luckily,
he said his girlfriend was there to support him. Though his balcony is nothing like the streets of Barcelona, where
he was supposed 67 (run) the marathon on March 15 before it got canceled, he said the experience
was worthwhile. Some people reached out to say they 68 (inspire)by him.
France banned all 69 (gathering)across the country last week. French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe
announced 70 March 14 that the country would be closing all places that are not essential to French living,
which includes restaurants, cafes and clubs.

China and Western countries may have different cultural belief about certain animals. But when it come to pigs,
we somehow reach an agreement which pigs are lazy, ugly, stupid and shameless. None of these words are exact
positive to describe pigs. Therefore, the truth is that pigs have some good qualities. According to a paper
publishing in 2017, pigs can tell from those who treat them well and those who don’t. Perhaps these are the
qualities of pigs to keep it in mind — their intelligence, cuteness and patience. Besides, people born in the Year of
the Pig were usually devoted to what they do. They have great sense of responsibility.
