Besides walking the red carpet and living the glamorous life, these celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Lauren Conrad, Prince William and Kate Middleton and Matt Damon, are working hard to make the world a better place. Read up on their charities!
Angelina Jolie
It's safe to bet that the mother of six has headlined more humanitarian efforts than her acting credits. “I came into this business young and only worried about my own experiences, my own pain. And it was only when I began to travel and look at life beyond my home that I came up with an idea to start a worthwhile program,” she said when receiving the Humanitarian Award.
Lauren Conrad
After traveling to markets around the world, Lauren Conrad and her friend founded The Little Market, an organization that works with female artisans across the globe to “lessen poverty, empower communities, and create social justice”. “We have been traveling all over the world to find local female craftsmen in the communities and sell their handmade products through our online store,” Lauren wrote on her blog.
Prince William and Kate Middleton
Instead of asking their wedding guests to buy them fine china or stock their wine collection, the couple requested that donations be made to the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund. According to the Palace, approximately $1.7 million was raised through their generosity.
Matt Damon
Matt Damon and Gary White co-founded non-profit Water.org, an organization pioneering solutions to provide people across the world with access to safe water and sanitation(卫生设备).“I hope to raise global consciousness about the importance of this challenge and the solutions,” says Damon. “I have four girls of my own and I want them to be proud of the impact I'm making in the world.”

Everyone must find his or her own best path to lasting weight loss. For Alice Fields, it took getting off the treadmill(跑步机) and getting into powerlifting, along with following a nutritional plan that didn't focus on restricting foods. Now, Alice wants everyone to know that there's more than one way to lose weight and get in shape.
“I've always struggled with my weight,” says Alice. “By the age of 22, I weighed 92 kilos, despite running at least five kilometers every morning, intense training and restricting what I was eating.” Sure, she saw results here and there. But she'd lose a few kilos and then put on more. All of that changed when a friend introduced her to powerlifting, and she discovered an eating plan called If It Fits Your Macros(IIFYM). The IIFYM plan looks at all foods in the three main categories: protein, fats and carbohydrates. It enables you to eat the foods you love and have a happy mind.
What Alice has been trying to say is that there isn't just one way to lose weight. For her, running for hours on end and restricting herself to a clean diet wasn't the answer. “Just move, and be aware of what food you're putting in your body. How much you move and how you move is entirely up to you,” said Alice.
“I went from doing 90 percent cardio(有氧运动) to mainly powerlifting and cardio for fun.” And it worked for her. People write to Alice and ask her to tell them exactly what to eat and how to move, but her answer is always to just keep moving and eat to support your goal.
She wants to make it absolutely clear that she does not advocate the ideas that being slim equals being beautiful. What she advocates is “taking your life into your own hands and doing what makes you feel good. Find a way to burn calories that you enjoy and a way that you can continue to do as part of your life.”
(C)24.Why did Alice give up her previous way of losing weight?
A. It made her exhausted.
B. It prevented her enjoying anything tasty.
C. It failed to guarantee lasting effects.
D. It lacked fun.
【解析】从文章的第一段第一句和第二段“...despite running at least five kilometers every morning, intense training and restricting what I was eating.”Sure, she saw results here and there. But she'd lose a few kilos and then put on more.可以看出答案。
(D)25. The reason why Alice takes the IIFYM plan is that________.
A. it advocates eating as much as one can
B. it limits people to clean diets
C. it only includes foods with protein, fats and carbohydrates
D. it helps balance eating and moving
【解析】从文章的第二段最后两句The IIFYM plan looks at all foods in the three main categories: protein, fats and carbohydrates. It enables you to eat the foods you love and have a happy mind.可知。
(B)26. What is Alice's advice for those who have written to her?
A. Focusing on intense training every day.
B. Paying more attention to feeling good.
C. Losing as much weight as possible.
D. Getting off the treadmill.
【解析】从文章最后一段中可以得到答案。
(A)27. The passage has been written mainly to ________.
A. advise finding enjoyable ways to lose weight
B. explain a quick way to lose weight
C. advertise a new weight-loss product
D. tell people to keep a restricted diet
【解析】文中的首段和尾段都有提及。
C
Last weekend was terrible for awards ceremonies. The Baftas, defined by a painful monologue(独角戏) from Joanna Lumley, was watched by 500,000 fewer people than last year. Meanwhile, the number of 18- to 49-year-olds watching the Grammys has reached an all-time low.
Don't expect the Oscars to fare any better; they have lost millions of viewers since 2014. Add to this the fact that comparatively few people have watched most of the nominated films and you have got a ratings time bomb.
Viewers are deserting awards shows in groups and something needs to be done. But what? Reorganize them to celebrate really popular work? That's what the Oscars put forward last year when it suggested a best popular film category—and it was swiftly booed(喝倒彩) out of town.
Another option would be to shorten the length of the ceremonies, but this won't work either; the Oscars recently announced plans to hide several categories in ad breaks, and the anger in some quarters (the cinematographers, makeup artists and editors who this year won't get their moment on the small screen) has been obvious.
What else can they do? Fewer songs? Shorter speeches? An In Memoriam section that consists of the words: “People die: get over it”?
Fortunately, I have the perfect solution: don't televise awards shows. Just don't do it. Awards shows are the opposite of good television. They're too long and too boring because of regular and repeated patterns and too self-important. And by God, we should have learned by now not to give celebrities any more attention than they already have. It just makes them think that we want to hear them giving out half-baked opinions about Donald Trump and Brexit.
I'm not suggesting that the awards shows shouldn't happen. I'm just saying that the awards should be announced in the form of a press release at the end of the ceremony, followed by a
handful of YouTube clips showing some nice outfits and a couple of speeches. That's how most of us consume them now anyway. Why not just bite the bullet?
(B)28. Why does the writer mention the Baftas and the Grammys?
A. To introduce the topic of the article.
B. To support the topic of the paragraph.
C. To attract the readers' attention.
D. To make comparison with the Oscars.
【解析】第一段第一句话是论点,后面两句是论据。Baftas是指“英国电影和电视艺术学院奖”,Grammys是“美国格莱美奖”。
(A)29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The best popular film category.
B. The best actress.
C. The reorganized Oscars.
D. The deserted awards show.
【解析】从That's what the Oscars put forward last year when it suggested a best popular film category—and it was swiftly booed(喝倒彩) out of town.可知答案。此句意为:这就是奥斯卡去年讨论的话题,当时它提出了一个最受欢迎的电影奖项,但是很快就被嘘声出局了。
(D)30. What's the writer's opinion on awards shows?
A. Awards shows are better if shortened.
B. Awards shows are excellent television.
C. Awards shows are important to us.
D. Awards shows should be shown in another form.
【解析】从最后一段可知作者并不是认为这些颁奖典礼不能举行,而是认为可以换种形式播放。I'm just saying that the awards should be announced in the form of a press release at the end of the ceremony, followed by a handful of YouTube clips showing some nice outfits and a couple of speeches. 可知答案。最后一段意为:我并不是说不应该举办颁奖典礼。我只是说奖项应该在仪式结束时以新闻稿的形式公布,然后在YouTube上放一些视频剪辑,展示一些不错的服装和几个演讲,这正是我们当前观看颁奖典礼的主要方式,所以为什么不咬紧牙直接这样做呢?
(C)31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. The bright future of awards shows
B. What terrible awards shows
C. Stop the television of awards shows
D. Boycott attention to celebrities
【解析】文章主要意思是说颁奖典礼收视率下降,作者建议不要在电视上播出,可以换种其他的形式。
D
In the 1950s, Central American commercial banana growers were facing the death of their most economical product, the Gros Michel banana. Now it's happening again to its successor—the Cavendish.
With its easily transported, thick-skinned and sweet-tasting fruit, the Gros Michel banana plant dominated the plantations of Central America. United Fruit, the main grower and exporter in South America at the time, mass-produced its bananas in the most efficient way possible: it cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds, and cultivated them in
densely packed fields.
Unfortunately, these conditions are also perfect for the spread of the fungus, which attacks the plant's roots and prevents it from transporting water to the stem and leaves. The TR-1 strain of the fungus was resistant to crop sprays and travelled around on boots or the tyres of trucks, slowly infecting plantations across the region. In an attempt to escape the fungus, farmers abandoned infected fields, flooded them and then replanted crops somewhere else, often cutting down rainforest to do so.
Their efforts failed. So they searched for a variety of bananas that the fungus didn't affect. They found the Cavendish, which wasn't as well suited to shipping as the Gros Michel, but its bananas tasted good enough to keep consumers happy. Most importantly, TR-1 didn't seem to affect it. In a few years, United Fruit had saved itself from bankruptcy by filling its plantations with thousands of the new plants. However, the Cavendish banana itself is far from safe. In 2015, the exports of Cavendish bananas had dropped by 46 per cent thanks to a combination of another strain of the fungus, TR-4, and bad weather.
Racing against the inevitable, scientists are working on solving the problem by genetically modifying the Cavendish with genes from TR-4-resistant banana species. Researchers have successfully grown two kinds of modified plant which have remained resistant for three years so far. But some experts think this is just a complicated version of the same temporary solution the original Cavendish provided. If the new bananas are planted in the same monoculture(单种栽培) as the Cavendish and the Gros Michel, the risk is that another strain of the disease may rise up to threaten the modified plants too.
(B)32. Mass-produced bananas are ________.
A. grown from seeds because its efficient
B. cloned because it's fast and cheap to grow them
C. sweeter than other bananas
D. exported to Central America
【解析】根据文章第二段最后一句话United Fruit, the main grower and exporter in South America at the time, mass-produced its bananas in the most efficient way possible: it cloned shoots from the stems of plants instead of growing plants from seeds, and cultivated them in densely packed fields.可知该香蕉的种植是农民克隆而成。所以选B。
(D)33. The spread of the TR-1 strain was ________.
A. caused by lack of water
B. speeded up by the flooding of banana fields
C. slowed down by crop spraying
D. helped by the movement of people and vehicles
【解析】根据文章第三段...and travelled around on boots or the tyres of trucks, slowly infecting plantations across the region.可知这种病毒可以通过接触过它的人体和交通工具进行传播。所以选D。
(D)34. Genetically modified bananas may ________.
A. mean farmers can grow the Gros Michel again
B. cause farmers to repeat the mistakes of the past
C. encourage farmers to try new growing methods
D. only be a short-term solution
【解析】根据文章最后一段...is just a complicated version of the same temporary solution
the original Cavendish provided.可知这仅仅是一个临时的解决方案。
(C)35. How would you describe the writer's opinion about the future of the Cavendish?
A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic.
C. Cautious. D. Uninterested.
【解析】通读全文可知,作者对香蕉转基因的态度是小心谨慎的,所以选C。其余均不符合语境。

Dear Sir,
I am Li Hua, a 12th grader from China. More than excited to learn from different sources that
your prestigious university will accept China's gaokao scores for Chinese students wishing to apply for undergraduate study at Cambridge University, I can't wait to write to inquire for more details as well as introduce myself.
I have been doing well in all my subjects since I entered high school. In all the academic assessments, I rank above top 5 in my grade. Besides remarkable academic performances,I am also actively engaged in science projects and voluntary service. Therefore, I desperately desire to major AI in Cambridge. Applying for Cambridge is so challenging that I request you should help me understand the requirements and procedures precisely to make it a success.
I would be very grateful if you could kindly give me a reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

W: That dress is too expensive.
M: But it's pretty.
W: Yes, it is pretty, but it costs $170. What about the blue one? It's almost the same. But it costs half as much.
Text 4
W: Could you play a different game with our daughter, please?
M: But she likes it. See? She's smiling and laughing.
W: Yes, but cell phones aren't toys, and she shouldn't put it in her mouth.
Text 5
W: Didn't you tell Bob about the lecture about “Life in the future”?
M: Whatever I say to him goes in one ear and out the other.
Text 6
M: I think that I would enjoy living here, but I'd like to make some improvements.
W: What would make this apartment better for you?
M: It would look better with a better quality carpet.
W: You can have a different carpet, but you have to pay more.
M: How much would it cost?
W: It could be quite various, between 2 and 10 dollars per square yard.
M: How long will it take for my new apartment to be ready?
W: It will be finished by next week.
Text 7
M: I don't like Barry at all. He doesn't like being with others.
W: I agree. He's quite different from his younger brother, Paul.
M: You are dead right. And Paul is the right person you can rely on.
W: What kind of person do you consider yourself to be?
M: I think I'm polite, careful and shy.
W: Oh, I don't think you're shy! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party.
M: Well, yes, but those people always start talking to me. Perhaps I'm not as shy as I think. Anyway, you're certainly not shy!
W: You're right. I love going out and making new friends.
M: So, you'll be at my birthday party on Friday?
W: You bet!
Text 8
M: Have you tried that new restaurant downtown? It looks fancy.
W: No, I haven't been there yet. What type of food do they serve?
M: I think it's Italian.
W: I don't like Italian food very much. I prefer Japanese or Indian food. But I guess I could give it a try.
M: I can call and make a reservation for some night this week.
W: Okay. Monday and Wednesday work best for me because I'm off work early on those days.
M: I'll see if they can take us either of those days. What about Friday or Saturday?
W: Saturday could work, but I thought we had Sara's party to go to this weekend. We haven't seen her in a long time—not since her wedding! Isn't her party on Saturday?
M: Yeah, you're right. Then Monday is probably the best because I have an early work meeting and will be home by the afternoon.
W:Yeah, Monday is the best for me too, actually. I like to go to the gym on Tuesdays after work, anyway.

W: What are you doing recently, Mike?
M: I'm writing something about my experience of learning Chinese.
W: What's up?
M: Well, when I came to China in 2017, I only knew words of Chinese,“hello”and “thank you”. As you can probably guess, simple tasks like ordering food and taking a taxi were quite stressful.
W: And how did you overcome the difficulties?
M: I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for classes.
W: Did it work?
M: My teacher was very helpful, but I couldn't start a real conversation. Later, I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very frustrated.
W: Come on! Mike!
M: Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. That's what I want to share with those foreign Chinese-lovers.
W: Great job! I really appreciate it. But it's hard for us Chinese to learn English as well.
M: If so, think of the foreigners who learn Chinese. The number of people learning Chinese worldwide reached 110 million in 2018, which increased by 10% compared with that in 2014!

W:Hello and welcome to the International Friendship Partner Program. My name is Stephanie, the area assistant of Eastern Ohio International Friendships, Inc. and I will be guiding you through the process of becoming a friend of a volunteer family. Let me assure you the families are very excited to meet you and have been waiting to do so for several months! All families had to go through some training and receive a background check first.
We are hoping to develop a relationship with you that lasts and gives us both cultural experiences. Soon a member of your new “family away from home” will contact you and make arrangements for an initial meeting. Many families have also signed up to host you during the holidays if you would like to do so.
Thank you for being willing to allow us to show you friendliness in our homes and in our country. We are excited you are here and really want to get to know you! Please call me anytime, if you have any questions while you are here. It is my job to assist you and help you find a good fit with the family.
