My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we’ve gone
through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many hours
of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher’s
eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I
finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how
those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto,
a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was like
the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’s voice woke up the
sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray.
A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and
men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go.
Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined(用
松香擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it
even better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m walking on air,
feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的) tunes calm me down. Gradually,
it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?
4. What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?
A. Orders from mum. B. Boredom of practice.
C. Loss of passion for violin. D. Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. The author’s feeling was continuously influenced by the music.
B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.
C. The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat.
D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
6. Why did the author pick up the violin again?
A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone.
B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Deep love for music B. My dislike and like of violin
C. An inspiring story of violin D. Musical soul mate—violin
C
On my fourth day in a self-driving car, I finally felt comfortable enough to let it stop itself.
Before then, I'd allowed the car — a Volvo S90 sedan — to control the direction, with my hands
still on the wheel, and to adjust speed in traffic. By Day 4, I was ready to make a jump into the
future.
With the car traveling on a busy road, I activated the driverless mode (模式).Soon, a traffic
light turned red. For a split second, I prepared to get on the brakes. There was no need. The cameras
and computers in the Volvo recognized the traffic conditions and smoothly began applying the
brake.
If you're anything like most people, you're familiar with this anxiety. Almost 80 percent of
Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.
Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some clever experiments studying
the phenomenon. They asked participants ( 参 与 者 )to complete tasks and compare their
performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling
to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't
matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer. So it is with driving. More
than 37,000 Americans died in crashes last year, most from human error. The death count from cars
goes beyond that from guns. So if you are shocked and angry by guns and want things to change,
you should feel the same about car crashes.
Technology creates an opportunity to save lives. Computers don't get drunk or distracted by text
messages, and they don't have blind spots. Just look at commercial airlines: Automation (自动化
)has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers. The last one happened
in 2009.
The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within
a few years, many cars will have advanced crash -avoidance systems and driving will be
revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By offering a piece of news. B. By giving background information.C. By describing an experience. D. By introducing a latest car.
9. What can be learnt about the participants of the experiments?
A. They tended to accept the computer's faults.
B. They seemed to care little about their own mistakes.
C. They felt less confident after making mistakes.
D. They performed better than computer systems.
10. The author mentioned commercial airlines .
A. to prove the advantage of technology B. to assess the security of driverless cars
C. to find fault with computers D. to advertise for the commercial airlines
11. What does the author expect of the self-driving car?
A. It'll avoid deadly crashes entirely. B. It'll occupy the market in a short time.
C. It'll be bettered in every possible way. D. It'll be popularized sooner than expected.
D
It is believed that around half the US adult population will be obese (肥胖的) by 2030, while
one in four will fall into the severely obese category. This is according to a new study led by the
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which found that levels of obesity are increasing in
every state. Indeed the predictions show that levels of severe obesity could be higher than 25 percent
in half of states.
“Especially striking was our finding that among adults with very low income (less than $20,000
per year), severe obesity is predicted to be the most common in 44 states—almost everywhere in
the US,” a researcher said.
The research was carried out to inform state policymakers—and perhaps help change the tendency.
The study authors say the best form of attack is prevention. Limiting intake of sugar is stressed as one
of the most effective and cost-effective methods for reducing obesity levels, and a tax likely to save
more money than it costs.
Sugar (and the sugar industry) has come under fire for its role in promoting obesity. Indeed,
one recent study published in September 2019 puts responsibility for today’s obesity epidemic (流
行 病 ) firmly on the shoulders of sugar, concluding high-sugar diets during childhood in the
seventies and eighties could be behind the rise.
“We knew from previous work that obesity is increasing in the US, and that some states and
demographic groups (人群) are at higher risk, but we were surprised that even the states with the
lowest obesity will be above 35 percent in 2030—a level currently considered high, a researcher
told Newsweek. What is clear is that we will not be able to treat our way out of this epidemic—
achieving and keeping weight loss is difficult—so prevention efforts will be key to making progress
in this area.”
12. What’s the most surprising finding in the study?
A. Over 25% of people will be seriously obese.
B. Levels of obesity are increasing in every state.
C. poor adults are more likely to be severely obese.
D. Half of the US adults will be overweight by 2030.
13. What is the best way to solve the problem according to the passage?A. To reduce the tax. B. To limit intake of sugar.
C. To reduce obesity level. D. To inform policymakers.
14. What does the underlined word “fire” actually refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Blame from researchers. B. Rapid chemical change.
C. Current obesity epidemic. D. High-sugar diets.
15. What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs?
A. Obesity is increasing everywhere in the US.
B. All states in America are at the same level of obesity.
C. Maintaining weight loss is a good way to deal with obesity.
D. Diets with less sugar are vital to preventing the problem of obesity.

选项。
Criticism (批评) is harmful to healthy relationships. It’s okay to express disappointment if
someone is behaving in a way that hurts you. 16 The following are some ways to catch criticism
before it begins.
17 Before you criticize, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything at
all. If someone did something to get on your nerves, would you really need to point it out?
Sometimes, it’s best to let small rudeness go Take a few deep breaths and leave the room instead of
criticizing.
Be realistic. Critical people often have very high expectations of those around them. Your
tendency to criticize may come from expecting too much from others. Sometimes you may find
yourself consistently annoyed or disappointed with others. 18
Separate the individual from their actions. Critical people often focus on the negative aspects of
a situation or a person, failing to see good qualities alongside negative ones. If you find yourself
making assumptions about a person’s character, stop yourself. 19 We all behave poorly
sometimes, but a single action is not a reflection of character.
Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a
situation. 20 However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh the bad ones.
Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.
A. Never criticize others.
B. Think before you speak.
C. Everyone has drawbacks and imperfections.
D. It may be a good idea to adjust your expectations.
E. We should focus on other people’s disappointing actions.
F. Try to separate a disappointing action from the person doing the action.
G. Being overly critical, however, can cause tension in a relationship over time.

The loss of Arctic ice from glaciers, polar land and sea is declining faster than many scientists
expected, 36 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) report on oceans said this
week.
That’s bad news for polar bear populations, 37 top expert involved in field studies on the
endangered animals has told the Guardian.
This year’s annual minimum of the Arctic sea ice was the second-lowest extent on record, a
mere 1.6m sq miles, and badly affected polar bear populations that live and hunt on the north slope
of Alaska, plus those 38 live on the ice in the Bering Sea.
“Now the ice has gone way offshore we know that the bears aren’t feeding, and the bears that
are forced on to land don’t find much 39 (eat). The longer the sea ice is gone from the productive
zone the 40 (tough) it is on the bears,” said Polar Bears International’s Steven Amstrup.
In 2015, the group reported that the polar bear population in the Beaufort Sea 41 (decline) by
40% over the previous decade. “We can only anticipate that those declines have continued,”
Amstrup said.
The loss of sea ice this year was pronounced so early in the season 42 crews from the US
Geological Survey (USGS) concluded that the sea ice offshore in the western arctic was too thin
and 43 (stable) to be able to conduct their studies – the first time the team have pulled their studies
because of safety issues.
The circumstances of 44 (globe) heating in the Arctic region caused both record heatwaves in
Alaska and the loss of more than 60bn tons of ice from Greenland’s ice cap during a five-day
heatwave this summer, including the biggest loss in a 24-hour period since 45 (record) began.
For both polar bear populations, the circumstances are serious. Those that live on shore aren’t
finding much to eat, says Amstrup, and those that live permanently on the pack ice don’t appear to
be feeding much either.

Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice.
Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down.
On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our
hearts.It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly decorated
for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German couples, two
French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the
sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was
listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.
All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn
overcoat and her old shoes were wet. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another.
No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.
The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the
flower woman's table.
“Merry Christmas,” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers.
“How much are they?” “Two francs, sir.”
The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman’s hand.
“I don't have change, sir, ” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”
“No, ma'am, ” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek. “This is my Christmas
present for you.”

Paragraph 1:
Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand. He picked out a red flower and placed it on
our table. “Merry Christmas!” he greeted us in a cheerful voice. Before we could say “ Thank you”, he
went to other tables. In an instant, everyone in the room was presented with flowers, including the waiter and
the piano player. In the bright light, the flowers were glowing in full bloom. These magical flowers melted
our frustrated hearts and blew away all the unpleasant moods.
Paragraph 2:
The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room. A festival atmosphere drowned all of
us. We merrily danced to the joyful music, singing, laughing and wishing each other good luck. The old
flower woman also joined us, unable to conceal her excitement and gratitude. The spirit of Christmas came
back to us again. It brought all of us together in this small restaurant on a foreign land. All this was due to a
young American sailor, who, through his kindness and generosity, brightened our paths.
