I was a Northern newcomer to a Southern adult community. I knew no one and was
feeling lonely. I wanted to make new friends very much.
Day after day, I saw groups of cyclists riding throughout the community and beyond
the gates. Dressed in black riding shorts, brightly colored biking shirts, gloves
and helmets, they appeared to be having a great time together. I looked longingly
at them as they rode in pace lines of eight to twelve riders.
I knew how to ride a bike, but couldn’t imagine myself ever accomplishing the
level of riding I saw. One day I read an article in the community newspaper inviting
those who are interested in biking to join a beginner’s cycling group. It is not
like me to join something where I know no one, but I pushed myself to attend an
organizational meeting. I immediately began chatting with two women and we agreed
on our first group ride taking place later in the week.
Twelve men and women ventured out on our first eight-mile ride. We slowly rode
in a long line through the quiet streets of our community. We began to meet three
times a week, and steadily increased our distance and speed. Stopping for food became
the rule and we soon adopted our slogan, “We bike for food.” As we sat chatting over coffee, strong friendships began to form. Many of us found we had other interest
in common and began exploring it together.
All of these new friendships were made possible by taking that first step outside
my comfort zone. Now I ride 100 miles a week, have improved my health, and have more
friends than I ever imagined. Taking that first step and trying something new opened
up a whole new world of fun and friendships for me.
24. Why did the author feel lonely in the Southern adult community?
A. Because he just moved there and had no friends.
B. Because he couldn’t ride a bike as well as others.
C. Because he couldn’t find others to ride together.
D. Because he missed his old friends very much.
25. What led the author to the cycling group?

26. What did the group usually do during their riding?
A.They had meals together.
B. They rode slowly in a long line.
C. They set a riding goal together.
D. They rode through the quiet streets.
27.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Riding…the way to health
B. Riding---the road to friendship
C. Friends---the best medicine for loneliness
D.Exercise-the first step outside my comfort zone.

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、capacity (能
力）to absorb carbon is reduced.
Brazilian climate expert Carlos Nobre told Reuters he，s 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 ftiture of the Amazon rainforest.
D.Efforts made to save the Amazon rainforst.

Many small-business owners watched recent revelations about Facebook with mixed
emotions. Like most Americans, they were surprised to discover how much information
the social media giant collected on its users. But when it comes to small business,
Facebook is a transformative advertising platform for small businesses, not easy to
replace.
Let’s say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster
(牡妮）nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long
in advance, and it’s hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster
eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook
users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out (and are over age 21, so they
can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights). And you can do this for as
little as S20.
In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I’ve never seen a more
effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool
for small-business, advertising does not justify (证明合理）the company’s collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users’ data to be invaded.
“Our primary concern was people’s experience on Facebook/’ said Dan Levy,
Facebook’s Vice President. “Our teams have also been speaking to small businesses,
and they want to make sure we’re addressing the situation, and we are.”
One concern small businesses want Facebook to address is protecting their uploaded
lists. No one wants their customers’ information misused or accessed by others,
especially competitors.
Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don’t want
Facebook to know everything about them, and they don’t want their customer lists
to be let out to others,
But small businesses don’t want to lose this effective advertising medium, either.
Most Facebook ads are not invasive or offensive. And many receivers may actually
benefit from receiving highly targeted ads—after all, those oyster lovers like
learning about Tuesday night— $1'oyster night.
32. How does the author explain Facebook’s function in Paragraph 2?
A. By performing an experiment. B. By leading a survey.
C. By analyzing the data. D. By giving an example.
33. What is the author’s attitude towards Facebook mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D.Respectful.
34.What makes small businesses concerned about Facebook according to the text?
A. What people experience on Facebook.
B. That Facebook updates the lists constantly.
C. That their competitors benefit more from Facebook.
D. That Facebook will give away their customer lists.
35. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Facebook is benefiting small businesses
B. Facebook, a mixed bag for small businesses
C. Facebook is protecting customers’ privacy
D. Facebook, a powerful advertisement tool

选项。
Chinese culture values family bonds very much. Family members don’t just gather
during the holidays. In fact they often live under one roof all year round. 36.
Families in the East and West are very different from each other.
In most East Asian cultures, extended families are common. 37.
According to the Atlantic, 90 percent of children in Shanghai and 70 percent of
children in Beijing were cared for by their grandparents. Chinese people believe that
“a grandparent is a treasure to their family”.
In many Western countries, most families are nuclear families (小家庭）.These
are solely made up of children and their parents.
Additionally, the duties parents have toward their children can also differ. 38.
It’s normal for parents to pay for their children’s college, help them
find a job, or buy them an apartment. Chinese adults also follow their parents’
opinions when making major life decisions, 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
independence. 40. Families will always be a source of love, warmth, and care for
people around the world.
A.These families have three or even four generations living together.
B. Nuclear families are the most common type in China.
C. In China，many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood.
D. Different cultures have different family values.
E.But in the end，home is best — east or west.
F. Many young people going to college often need to take out loans and work part-time
jobs in order to pay for tuition and rent.
G. Both Easterners and Westerners value quality family time.

Dear Peter，
Having known that you are interested in our school art festival about traditional
Chinese culture, I am writing to offer you some detailed information.
This art festival falls in every December at our campus, aiming to enrich our
school life and arouse our awareness of carrying forward the precious traditional
Chinese culture.
Sponsored by our Students’ Union, the festival covers a wide variety of
activities, among which I pay special attention to the Chinese poetry competition,
since I hold the belief that one filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance.
Poem lovers read, recite seas of poems that they love and exchange their perspectives
on poetry.
Why not come and enjoy the strong atmosphere of our festival at the very beginning
of December? Your involvement will be warmly welcomed.
Yours
