Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing I
loved was dance,” she said. In 2010, however, a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist
down. For Hill, it was not the end of a dancing career but the beginning.
Hill danced in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. It
definitely took a lot of learning and patience to dance in a wheelchair.
After graduation, Hill met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her
determination, and she invited them to dance with her. It was an amazing experience for her.
In 2014 Los Angeles, she formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the
Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is 第 2 页
dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling,” she said. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes
discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety.
Hill has attained what many people never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes
have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for
wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. She calls it the Rollettes Experience, and in 2019,
173 participants from ten countries attended.
For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello said that working
with Hill challenged her to be more independent. Edna Serrano said being part of the Rollettes
team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car because she had more confidence.
The dancers aren’t the only ones feeling inspired. One woman saw the team competing
and commented, “You guys are so awesome! I’m in tears when you rock! To be in a
wheelchair can still be so beautiful!”
24. What do we know about Chelsie Hill from the first two paragraphs?
A. She got seriously injured in a dancing match.
B. She stopped dancing right after a car accident.
C. She dreamed of being a dancer at a young age.
D. She danced in a disabled team in high school.
25. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Conservative views. B. Improper behaviors.
C. Incurable disabilities. D. Physical weaknesses.
26. What do we know about the Rollettes Experience?
A. Audience spoke ill of the competition. B. Participants benefited greatly from it.
C. It is aimed to select the best dancers. D. It made Hill’s childhood dream fulfilled.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Chelsie Hill, An Artful Dancer B. Disability, Good for Dancing
C. Help others; Help Yourself D. Attaining Dancing Dream In Wheelchair
C
University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social
media use to increases in depression and loneliness．The idea that social media is anything but
social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years， but not many studies
have managed to actually link the two． To do that， Penn researchers， led by psychologist
Melissa Hunt，designed a study that focused on WeChat， Snapchat and Instagram．
The study was conducted with 143 participants， who before they began， completed a
mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens， showing how often they were
using their phones to access social media．"We set out to do a much more complete study
which attempts to imitate real life．" Hunt said．
The study divided the participants into two groups： The first group was allowed to
maintain their normal social media habits． The other， the control group， was restricted to
10 minutes per day on social media． The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and
then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out，
anxiety， depression and loneliness．
The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of
depression and loneliness． "Using less social media than you normally do would lead to
significant decreases in both depression and loneliness，" Hunt said．
Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison．" "When you're
online， it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and
included in more things and you're left out，" Hunt said． And that's just generally
discouraging． "Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not
meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate．" And these
real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth， Hunt
added．
"People are on their devices， and that's not going to change，" she said． But as in
life， a bit of control goes a long way．
28 Before the study was conducted， the participants completed a survey to ．
A. imitate people's real life B. link loneliness to depression
C. show their use of social media D. prove social media is important
29 The results of the study showed using less social media would result in ．
A. people's fear of missing out B. higher levels of depression
C. obvious relief in loneliness D. lower levels of happiness
30 In Hunt's opinion， which activity benefits more to mental health？
A. Hiking out with friends． B. Making comparison with others．第 3 页
C. Playing computer games in spare time． D. Logging onto social media and having
fun．
31 Which can be the best title of the passage？
A. A Study on Social Media． B. How to Improve Mental Health．
C. People Addicted to Social Media． D. Social Media Influences Mental Health．
D
The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people
have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when
fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the
past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix
this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of
energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal（地热的）energy.
Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as
strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting（提炼）fossil fuels adds to the price of energy
produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones,
saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than
traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air
produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the
geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a
comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal（煤）produce an astonishing 3.6
pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice
for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work
compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment
is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a
few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building.
What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal
power stations easy to build and keep.
32 Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because ______.
A. the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
B. fossil fuels are nearly used up
C. it is free to use geothermal energy
D. geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
33 According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A. Coal is much more efficient than gas.
B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
D. The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.
34 Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of ____.
A. the life span of geothermal equipment B. the nature of geothermal energy
C. the small buildings D. geothermal power plants
35 What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Geothermal energy has many advantages.
B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C. Fossil fuels are being run out of.
D. Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.

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。
Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control---hard to find just when
you want it most. 36 But there are ways to increase your willpower.
* Don’t try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on
the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra
willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t spread yourself too thin. 37
* Whatever your goal is, don’t expect to achieve it overnight. 38 If you are
trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of
water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small
achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.第 4 页
* 39 Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how
they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are
cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive
restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings.
You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.
* If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in
shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on
the way home. Quit smoking? 40
A. Focus on one goal at a time.
B. Real success takes time.
C. Improve your willpower by a support network.
D. Change your environment to change your life.
E. Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.
F. Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult.
G. Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.

The Laugh Lab, set up by Dr.Wiseman, is the largest study of humour. A few months ago,
its organizers started a project, hoping to finally submit the funniest joke in the
world.Participants are invited to log on (登录) to the website, 41 a few personal
details, tell their favourite jokes and 42 the jokes told by other people.
But there is also a(n) 43 purpose.The researchers want to know 44
people from different nations and cultures find funny.And they want to find out the 45
between the male and female sense of humour.The 46 is that if we want to understand
each other, we have to 47 what makes us laugh.
This is a subject that has interested psychologists and philosophers.Most of the time,
people are not 48 honest.We do things that society 49 us to and say things
that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be 50 . When we laugh, we tell
the 51 about ourselves.
By March, 10, 000 jokes had been submitted, which gave the scientists enough 52
to make early conclusions.It seems that men and women do have 53 sense of
humour.
“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females
54 humour，”said Dr.Wiseman.“Men use humour to appear superior to others, while
women are more skilled in 55 and prefer word play.”
Researchers have also found that there really is such a thing as 56 sense of
humour.The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour” 57 the French like
short and sharp jokes.“You're a high－priced lawyer.Will you answer two questions for
$500？” “Yes.What's the second question？”
Dr.Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by 58 . But none
of those who took part in the survey found any of them
59 ．Perhaps this is relief . Computers already seem like they can do everything.At least
they should leave the 60 things to us.

第一节 语篇填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Why does something that smells so good taste so bad? Whenever you walk past a café you
might be drawn in by the smell of 61 (fresh) made coffee, but the minute you try
this dark drink you will regret 62 , because it is bitter. Many people are confused by
this phenomenon, but now scientists say they have figured out the answer — it lies 63
our “second sense of smell”. We have got two senses of smell. One is 64 we
breathe in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and
65 (breathe) out through the nose.
In fact the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experiences. It may be
common sense that we smell through our nose and taste 66 (use) our tongue. But
the truth is 67 80% of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell.
Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch 68
very small part of the flavor. The mismatch (不一致) between our two senses of smell doesn’t
always have unpleasant results, such 69 durian and some cheese. They are
70 (smelly) than the stinking (恶臭的) fish, but once they are in your mouth, you are
experiencing the smell through the nose in the other direction. It is delicious.

I was a teaching assistant in a secondary school, which I gave support to students with
low abilities. I had two lessons a week with 11students. The school asked me to teach their
basic Spanish. They seldom did any language at school due to their“problems”but often felt
down. Therefore, I decided work on that.
In each lesson I allow them several minutes to write the positive note to a classmate to be
stuck in their books, such as “You are the best”,“Well done in your lesson”. Gradual, they
learned to congratulate on each other. They started to show much interest than ever not only

Dear Jamie,
I am more than glad to know that you are interested in the traditional
Chinese literature. It’s never easy to learn Chinese characters and essays. Even
native Chinese speakers may find it hard to learn them well, so you don’t have
to feel upset. Here are some useful tips.
First, turn to the Internet for help when you have a problem, where you can
learn how to read and write the characters. Second, you can learn from Chinese
people around and I’m always here to help. But the most important is to keep on
learning and reading. You are sure to make progress!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
