On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King
Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and
speedos!
Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems with their large
diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders to
do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and
unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send
the right message.”
It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water
averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the
freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in
turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support
team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.
Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swirl in such cold waters.
Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the
physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.
This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one
kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he
swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a
marine reserve there.
24. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?
A. To show his bravery. B. To swim faster.
C. To build up his body. D. To win public attention.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. His body temperature. B. The water.
C. The water temperature. D. His body.
26. What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?
A. One should be expert at swimming.
B. One must be fully prepared for the activity.
C. One should be ready to take on challenges.
D. One must be used to long-distance swimming.
27. What may be the best title for the text?河北正定中学/河北正中实验中学"停课不停学，辉煌靠执着”

A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause.
B. How to survive a swim in cold waters.
C. How to prepare for extreme swimming.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but
manners on the road are being horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would be fierce tigers
behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another
matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers
great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a
little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly
nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and
calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.
Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a
child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in
time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It
always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learned to
correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.
Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast
increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all
of us to take this message to heart.
28. According to the passage, what caused the troubles on the road?
A. Road conditions.
B. The large number of cars.
C. The speed of modern life.
D. The behavior of the drivers.
29. In the writer's opinion, ___________.
A. drivers should avoid traffic jams
B. strict traffic rules are badly needed
C. drivers should show road politeness properly
D. unskillful drivers should be punished directly
30. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?
A. Politeness and impoliteness.
B. Good manners and bad manners.
C. Offering help to others as much as possible.
D. Willingness to give in to each other's wishes.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Traffic problems.
B. Road politeness.河北正定中学/河北正中实验中学"停课不停学，辉煌靠执着”

C. Bad manners on the road.
D. Good drivers and bad drivers.

The coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the Internet, and there are people who
think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China. But, is that really so?
Starbucks opened its biggest café shop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday. The coffee giant
says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee, but also give them the full experience of how
the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up their favorite drinks.
It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers. The company is expanding aggressively, and opening
a new store every 15 hours on average in China.
China has very rich and splendid tea culture. What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a
cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of “Zen” (禅) spirit. But the fast-pace of life sometimes doesn’t allow
that. So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick
service for customers. Take Heytea for example. It’s one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now
opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing. Waiting in lines for longer
than one hour is common. China’s consumption of tea is immeasurable. According to a research of USC
Institute, in China, the average person consumes 400 cups of tea per year.
So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country’s main drink any time soon. The
expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea, but to provide people with another choice that they
can use to enjoy life.
32. What is function of the first paragraph?
A. To present the author's argument.
B. To summarize the whole passage.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage.
D. To inform the readers of the latest news.
33. What can we learn about Starbucks from the passage?
A. Starbucks supplies the world with the best-tasting coffee.
B. Starbucks can only be seen in the downtown area of a city.
C. Starbucks holds a certain share of Chinese drinking market.
D. The shop opened in Shanghai simply works as a drinking place.
34. What can be concluded from the third paragraph?
A. Tea culture is rooted in the hearts of Chinese citizens.
B. Tea consumption holds the largest share of world drinking market.
C. The enjoyment of tea drinking can only be experienced in a quiet place.
D. The fast pace of modern life makes tea drinking no longer pleasant in China.河北正定中学/河北正中实验中学"停课不停学，辉煌靠执着”

35. What is the author's attitude to coffee and tea in China?
A. Concerned. B. Ambiguous. C. Favorable. D. Negative.

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.

(改编)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.
