It was February and Danny Filippidis and his friends were skiing around．After a few days of
fun and relaxation，their annual trip was coming to a close．Danny wanted to capture a few more
memories of it to post online when they got home．The problem was，he’d left his cell phone in the
car．
By the time Danny realized this ， he and his friends were already halfway up Whiteface
Mountain in Lake Placid．Not wanting to miss a moment，he told his friends to wait while he skied
back down to fetch the phone．Danny was an adult and an experienced skier，so they had no reason
to doubt his eventual return．
However，it wasn’t until it began to get dark that his friends finally realized something may
have gone wrong．They alerted(报警)the authorities，who began a ground search in no time．Before
long，his family and friends came down to help as well．But Danny was nowhere to be found．
What the rescue teams didn’t know at the time was that，by the time the alarm went out，Danny
wasn’t even in Lake Placid anymore．He’d taken a wrong turn on his way back to the car，falling
down and becoming knocked out．It was dusk by the time he woke up，not knowing where he
was．
Danny struggled his way to the road．He flagged down a truck in the hope of securing a ride off
the mountain．The truck stopped and he climbed into the warm cab．After telling the trucker where
he was going，he fell into a heavy sleep．When the trucker finally informed him that they had arrived，
it had been midnight，when his family and friends were still searching the cold wilderness for any
sign of him．
Danny often reflects on what might have happened if he hadn’t been found by that trucker．To
this day，Danny Filippidis doesn’t know the trucker’s name．He doubts whether he could even
point him out if he saw him on the street and the authorities have been unable to track the man down
as well.
4．Why did Danny ski back to fetch his phone?
A．To surf the Net． B．To avoid it being stolen．
C．To make a call． D．To shoot some photos．
5．What happened to Danny on his way down the mountain?
A．He got stuck in a rock． B．He fell down the mountain．
C．He met with a snowstorm． D．He crashed into a truck．
6．Which of the following can best describe the trucker?
A．Bad-tempered． B．Warm-hearted． C．Cautious． D．Unwise．
7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Danny was grateful to the trucker． B．Danny was extremely forgetful．
C．The authorities took no action at a11． D．The trucker was hard to recognize．

It is not uncommon for human-generated fires—lit to clear the land out for farmingm—in the
Amazon rainforest to get out of contro1．However，this year，the number of wildfires has been
extraor dinarily high．Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research(INPE)has recorded over 73，
000 fires in the world’s largest tropical rainforest between January and August 2019，2，500 of
which are currently active．This is the highest number observed since the agency began keeping
records in 2013．
Brazil，which is home to 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest，has been the hardest hit．The
thick smoke from the fires currently covers haft of the country and can be seen clearly from
space．The fires have recently also spilled over to the neighboring country of Bolivia，where they
have thus far torched over 113，000 acres，including forests and grasslands in Chiquitania，a popular
nature reserve．
The area’s dry season，which spans from August to NoVember，is undoubtedly a factor in the
unusually high number of fires．“However，there is nothing abnormal about the climate this year or
the rainfall in the Amazon region，which is just a little below average，”INPE researcher Alberto
Seizer told Reuters．“Starting a fire is the work of humans．”
While all wildfires are harmful to the environment，the ones in the Amazon can be particularly
so．Often referred to as the“lungs of the planet，”the tropical rainforest generates more than 20％of
the world’s oxygen．It also sucks up about a quarter of the 2．4 billion metric tons of carbon that
global forests absorb each year ． The rainforest is ， therefore ， crucial in regulating global
climate．If the Amazon disappears or is reduced in size greatly，it could change weather patterns
everywhere，impacting everything from how much food farms can produce to the availability of
clean drinking water．
8．What do we know about the Amazon wildfires in 2019?
A．Most of them are still on．
B．They caused many deaths．
C．Their numbers reached the lowest．
D．They affected more than one country．
9．What accounted for the start of the wildfires according to Alberto Setzer?
A．Human activities． B．The high temperature．
C．Strong winds． D．The dry season．
10．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．The severity of the Amazon wildfires．
B．The significance of the Amazon rainforest．
C．The potential effects of the Amazon wildfires．
D．The best ways to battle the Amazon wildfires．
11．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Amazon Rainforest：the Lungs of the Planet
B．Brazil：the Hardest Hit of the Amazon Wildfires
C．The Amazon Wildfires Spread Across South America
D．Record Amazon Wildfires Could Accelerate Climate Change

Physical activity calorie equivalent(相等的)(PACE)labels could improve on labels that identify
only calories and nutrient content，according to a new scientific review．
Under the proposed system，a small bar of chocolate would carry a label informing consumers
that it would take 23 minutes of running or 46 minutes of walking to burn off the 230 calories it
contains．The large-scale application of PACE labels could，on average，cut calorie consumption by
up to 200 calories per person per day，according to researchers．
Amanda Daley，lead researcher from the University of Loughborough，said that PACE labels
would present the information in a more accessible way to consumers than the existing calorie and
nutrient content labels ． She told CNN that the current labeling system “ hasn ’ t made a huge
difference to obesity in the UK．”
She and her team looked at data from 14 studies that examined the effectiveness of PACE
labeling in reducing calorie consumption．Researchers caution that the number of studies included in
the review was small，and most took place in controlled environments rather than real-world settings，
but still conclude that PACE labeling is worth trying．A reduction of about 100 calories per day，
combined with a sustained increase in physical activity，could reduce obesity rates，according to
Daley．She called PACE a“really simple and really straightforward”strategy，and suggested it
could be used on food and drink packaging，supermarket labels and restaurant menus．
However ， Nichola Ludlam-Raine ， a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the British
Dietetic Association，flagged some issues with PACE labels．Ludlam-Raine said PACE“could be
extremely problematic”for those with eating disorders as it suggests that food needs to be“burnt
off”．It also promotes the idea that calories，rather than nutrients，are the main consideration when
it comes to food，she added．“Remember，you cannot out-run a bad diet，”said Ludlam-Raine，
explaining that exercising doesn’t mean you can live off chocolate and fizzy drinks．
12．What does Daley think of the existing labeling system?
A．It contains physical activity calories．
B．It affects calorie consumption greatly．
C．It’s not effective enough against obesity．
D．It can be applied to other fields widely．
13．What does the underlined word“flagged”in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Pointed out． B．Left out．
C．Objected to． D．Jumped at．
14．What can be inferred from Ludlam-Raine’s words?
A．PACE labeling causes eating disorders．
B．Calories matter more than nutrients．
C．Having a good diet is more important．
D．Taking exercise is not necessary at a11．
15．Which section of a magazine is the text likely from?
A．Fashion． B．Health． C．Sports． D．Technology．

Social media ， magazines and simp windows bombard( 轰 炸 )people daily with things to
buy．Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without thinking，while major brands
offer such cheap clothes that they can be treated like disposable(一次性的)items．16
In Britain，the average person spends more than￡1，000 on new clothes a year，which is around
four percent of their income．17 But it hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the
environment．First，a lot of that consumer spending is via credit cards．British people currently owe
approximately ￡670 per adult to credit card companies．18 Britain throws away 300，000 tons of
clothing a year，most of which goes into landfill sites．
People might not realize they are part of the disposable clothing problem because they donate
their unwanted clothes to charities． 19 Huge quantities end up being thrown away，and a lot of
clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad，causing even more economic and environmental
problems．
20 The idea came up in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US ．‘ Buy
Nothing’groups send a clear message to companies that people are no longer willing to accept the
environmental and human cost of overconsumption．
A．That figure may not sound like much to people．
B．But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes．
C．The British people are deeply shocked by the unexpected statistics．
D．Individuals can make a great difference in recycling these unwanted clothes．
E．However，a‘buy nothing’trend is springing up in opposition to consumerism．
F．All these have contributed to British consumers’buying more clothes than ever before．
G．Also，not only are people spending money they don’t have，they’re using it to buy things
they don’t need．

A brother and sister made their usual hurried pre-Christmas visit to the little farm，where lived
their elderly parents with their small herd(群)of horses．
The young folks had fond memories of their childhood here．Everything was perfect except the
aging old horse，‘The Old One’．
Doubtfully，the young folks asked the old couple，“Why do you not at least get rid of‘The
Old One’?
The old man looked down at his worn boots，holes in the toes，and replied softly，“We keep
her because of love．Nothing else，just love．”
Worried and confused，the young folks wished the old couple a Merry Christmas and headed
back toward the city as darkness stole through the valley．
The old couple shook their heads in sorrow．A tear fell upon their cheeks．How was it that these
young folks did not understand the peace of the love that filled their hearts?
Because of the unhappy leave-taking，no one noticed the first spark fall in the barn(马厩)．None
but the‘The Old One’．
In a matter of minutes，the barn was full of hungry flames．With a cry of horror and despair，the
old couple sank sobbing to the ground，helpless．The barn was in ruins．
The old man turned to his wife，forcing a smile，“We have lost much．Let us gather strength
and climb the hill to the old pine where we have sought comfort in times of despair and pray for our
beloved‘The Old One’”．
The journey up the hill was hard for their old bodies in the steep snow．As they got to the peak
of the hill，the old man gave a cry of wonder and incredible joy．Amazed and puzzled，he took his
wife by the hand and pulled her forward．There，beneath the pine tree was their Christmas gift—
‘The Old One’lay close to the trunk of the tree，with the entire herd．

One possible version：
Dear Alex，
I’m glad to receive your email telling me that you are to participate in the Chinese Poetry
Recital. I’m writing to recommend one．
The poem I strongly recommend is Dawn of Spring written by Meng Haoran，a notable poet of
Tang Dynasty．Short as it is，it features the breathtaking scenery after raining on a spring morning.
Moreover，it sounds rhyming，making it accessible to Chinese language learners．It makes sense to
watch some videos to get deep insights into the Tang Poetry ． With abundant preparations and
commitment，your performance will be a great success．
Good luck to you!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version：
As it turned out，the moment‘The Old One’saw the smoke，she pushed the door and led the
horses through it ． The hungry flames were around them ， licking their lips and hopping like
rabbits．So frightened were the horses that they dashed about aimlessly．After what seemed to be
ages．‘The Old One’managed to calm them down．Slowly and with great dignity，she led them up
the hill，stepping cautiously through the snow．As usual，she gathered the herd of horses under the
old pine tree，where they often took a rest after eating grass．
Spotting the old couple．‘The Old One’seemed to be happy．She did not disappoint those she
loved．Her body was weak with years，tired from the climb，but the golden eyes were filled with
devotion as she offered her gift to the old couple．Seeing the unexpected“Christmas gift”，the old
couple couldn ’ t help shouting their praise and joy ．．． and again the peace of love filled their
hearts．Tears flowing down，the old couple gently stroked‘The Old One’，murmuring，“Because
of love．Only Because of love．”
