Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight route from Boston to Los Angeles when a
flight attendant asked an urgent question over the loudspeaker: "Does anyone on board know
American Sign Language?" Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. The flight attendant came by
and explained the situation. "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf," she said. The
passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't
understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia (读写困难)and knew
she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she untied her seat belt, walked toward the front of
the plane, and knelt by the aisle (过道)seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she
signed, "How are you? Are you OK?" Tim asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to
her seat.
She came by again a bit later because Tim wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she
stopped and stayed a while. "He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk," Clara says.
So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future
(she wants to be a politician). Tim told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and
shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.
"Even though Tim couldn't see her, she looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a
passenger reported. "Clara was amazing," a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview.
"You could tell Tim was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel. "
Tim's reaction: "Best trip I've ever had."

Cambridge Dictionary has named 'up cycling' as its Word of the Year 2019.
Upcycling was chosen as the 'Word of the Day' which resonated (共鸣)most strongly with
followers on the Dictionary's Instagram account. The noun— explained as the activity of making new
furniture, objects, etc. out of old or used things or waste material — received more likes than any other
'Word of the Day' when shared on 4 July 2019. The number of times upcycling has been looked up on
the Cambridge Dictionary website has risen by 181% since December of 2011, when it was first added
to the online dictionary, and searches have doubled in the last year alone.
"We think it's the positive idea behind upcycling that appeals more than the word itself," said
Wendalyn Nichols, Publishing Manager of the Cambridge Dictionary. "Stopping the progress of
climate change, let alone turning it around, can seem impossible at times. Upcycling is a specific
action a single human being can take to make a difference. " "Lookups of upcycling reflect the trend
around individual actions to combat climate change—the youth activism started by Greta Thunberg;
the growing trends of vegan and plant-based diets; reading and following the handbook There is No
Planet B ; or fashion designers upcycling clothes to create their latest collections."
Other words on the shortlist for Word of the Year 2019 reflect the same concern with the effects
of climate change, such as carbon sink (碳汇)and compostable (可降解的).
The Cambridge Dictionary editors use data from the website, blogs, and social media to identify
and rank new additions to the Dictionary. They recognized upcycling as a word to include after
noticing a sharp rise in searches for the word in 2010. Cambridge University Press has been publishing
dictionaries for learners of English since 1995. Cambridge Dictionary began offering these
dictionaries completely free of charge online in 1999.28. What does the word "upcycling" refer to?
A. The activity of reusing old things or waste material.
B. The activity of making new items out of old or used things.
C. The activity of preventing the global climate change.
D The activity of collecting old or used things from individuals.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Upcycling is about some measures to change the climate.
B. Lookups of upcycling is the trend to change the climate.
C. Upcycling tells people how to protect environment.
D. Upcycling and searches for the word show a positive idea or trend.
30. What does the underline word "combat" mean in the third paragraph?
A. Fight against. B. Follow. C. Observe. D. Increase.
31. Which of the following is TRUE about the Cambridge Dictionary?
A. It is free of charge for learners of English since 1995.
B. It chose more than one word as its Word of the Year 2019.
C. Upcycling was added to it as a new word after 2010.
D. It means to include all the words related to environment.

"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has
become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict
trash-sorting regulations (条例〉that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for
our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss (投放)it into
specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure
correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the
regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200
yuan ( $ 29). For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to
their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities
in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift (筛选)through the
waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them
want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details.
Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions
among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained
about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing
them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for
dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins,
this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out;
no one wants to look bad.
32. What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A. They are the first of their kind. B. They are tied to one's bank account.
C. They have the highest fines. D. They're aided by monitors.
33. Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?
A. There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B. It aims to build a new recycling system.
C. It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D. People throw the rubbish here and there.
34. What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A. Limited time for tossing the trash.
B. Confusing distinction among the categories of trash.
C. Being fined due to improper behavior.
D. Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Good Way of Trash-sorting B. A New Era of Garbage Classification
C. A Great Time in Dealing with Litter D. An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem

The dream of many people is to leave their mark on the world however they can. This could be
in countless different 41 ,from coming up with a new invention to 42 starting a family. No
matter what it is, 43 the world in some way is the purpose of many lives.
That’s 44 makes the Renaissance – an art period which centered in Italy between the 14th
and 17th centuries — the era of 45 .
When we hear the word “art”, it’s very likely that we’ll imagine a work from the Renaissance
period. This was a time when many believe art made a revival (复兴)— “renaissance”, 46 ,
means to bring new life to something.
Take the works of Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci for example. His painting Mona
Lisa became one of the best-known 47 on Earth. While many artists left their marks by bringing
48 to the world, Da Vinci did much more than that. The artist was fascinated with the study of
human anatomy(解剖学)and even 49 time dissecting human bodies to help with his studies. Da
Vinci also proved his 50 in many other areas, and he created sketches of ideas for many
inventions, from bridges and machinery to even a helicopter and a robot.
The Renaissance also played host to many other great names in the world of art. Italian painter
Raphael, for example, was another leader of this era. But his most famous work isn’t
51 on a wall today. 52 , his masterpiece — the Raphael Rooms of Italy’s Palace of the
Vatican — IS the wall. The walls and ceilings of the palace are filled with beautifully 53
paintings of Bible scenes, which he started as a young artist in 1508.
Religious works such as Raphael’s were the 54 style of the Renaissance period. We only
have to look at the most iconic(标志性的)sculpture of that period — and perhaps 55
— to realize that.
Italian artist Michelangelo’s sculpture David, 56 a Biblical character, was firstly shown in
the 1500s. The sculpture has 57 years of exposure to the rain, having rocks thrown at it by
protesters(抗议者), and even someone 58 it with a hammer in the 1990s. 59 all these, David is still standing strong and 60 today — a true symbol of the Renaissance.

更不用说扭转它,有时似乎是不可能的。可知人们对待气候变化的态度是敌对的,是希望阻
止气候变化的,再根据选项,可以推断 combat 的意为对抗。故选 A 项。
