12．（8 分）Time magazine's tradition ﹣ "Person of the Year" originated in 1927， when it
honored 25 ﹣ year ﹣ old pilot Charles Lindbergh for the first nonstop solo flight across the
Atlantic Ocean． Though the magazine has recognized several young people for their global
influence， it has never given the important honor to a teenager． But its 2019's "Person of The
Year" is the 16﹣year﹣old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg．
Thunberg's rise to global reputation is even more surprising given that just over a year ago，
she was a shy 15﹣year﹣old anxious about the increasing threat of climate change． In August
2018， tired of the "refusal" of world leaders to take action， the young girl started camping
out in front of the Swedish Parliament every Friday with a sign that said： "School Strike for
Climate．"
The teen's act of protest soon drew public attention， inspiring kids and adults worldwide to 第 3 页（共 12 页）
take action ． By September 2018 ， her weekly strike became a global climate change
movement called "Fridays for the Future"， with tens of thousands of students skipping school
on this day to protest the inaction of the leaders of their respective countries． Her appeal for
progress in environment protection also encouraged other young activists to begin their own
climate change movements．
Varshini Prakash ， co ﹣ founder of the US Youth ﹣ Led Sunrise Movement ， says
Thunberg"symbolizes the suffering， the frustration， the desperation， the anger ﹣ at some
level， the hope ﹣ of many young people who won't even be of age to vote by the time their
futures are doomed．"
The teenager， who has single﹣handedly helped bring climate change to the forefront of
the global conversation， owes her success to her Asperger's syndrome（阿斯佩各综合征）．
She says， "I see the world in black and white， and I don't like compromising． If I were like
everyone else， I would have continued on and not seen this crisis． Right now， we have
entered a new decade ﹣ a decade that will define our future． And I've seen hope， but it does
not come from the governments or companies． It comes from the people．"
（1）Why did Greta Thunberg camp out in front of Swedish Parliament every Friday？
A．To heighten public awareness of environmental protection．
B．To show her support for school strike for climate．
C．To condemn the government's inaction on climate change．
D．To win a global reputation as a teenager climate change activist．
（2）Where can we find the direct influence of Greta Thunberg's behavior？
A． In paragraph 2．
B． In paragraph 3．
C． In paragraph 4．
D． In paragraph 5．
（3）What kind of girl is Greta Thunberg according to the passage？
A． positive and sensitive
B． uncaring but reliable
C． selfish but intelligent第 4 页（共 12 页）
D． brave and determined
（4）We can learn from the passage that ．
A．Charles Lindbergh is the first adolescent "Person of the Year" of Time magazine
B．on account of Asperger's syndrome， Greta Thunberg has suffered a lot
C．all governments haven't already taken effective measures to deal with climate change
D．Varshini Prakash thinks little of Thunberg and her strike for climate change
13．（8 分）Strange ice rings in Siberia's Lake Baikal have puzzled scientists for decades， but
now the mystery apparently has been solved． The answer： the rings are caused by warm，
circular currents of water under the ice， called eddies（漩涡）．
The eddies' strong currents melt the ice at the edge， but weaker ones keep the center frozen
． "Results of our field surveys show that there are warm eddies that circulate in a clockwise（
顺 时 针 的 ） direction under the ice cover ， " said Alexei Kouraev ， a hydrologist at the
University of Toulouse，in a NASA statement． "In the eddy center， the ice does not melt ﹣
even though the water is warm ﹣ because the currents are weak，" he said． "But on the eddy
boundary， the currents are stronger， and warmer water leads to rapid melting．"
During field work， Kouraev and his colleagues drilled holes near ice rings and set sensors
capable of measuring the temperature and salinity（盐浓度）of the water to a depth of 700 feet
． They found that the water in the eddies was 2 to 4℉ warmer than the surrounding water．
Most of the rings appear in March or April and have a width of about 3 to 4 miles ﹣ too big
to recognize from the ground but easily seen from satellites above ． Some rings were
ephemeral while others lasted for weeks or even months．
Lake Baikal is the world's largest and deepest freshwater lake， according to Gizmodo． It's
home to many varieties of fish not seen anywhere else in the world， and even a population of
freshwater seals．
Researchers are still investigating what causes Baikal's eddies but think it's likely because
of wind patterns ， rivers that flow into the lake and the shape of the lake's coastline and
bottom．
（1）Which word can best replace the underlined word "ephemeral" in paragraph 4？
A． steady第 5 页（共 12 页）
B． current
C． fundamental
D． temporary
（2）Why is the ice in the center of ice rings frozen while that at the edge is melted？
A．Because the center of ice rings is 2 to 4℉ warmer than the edge．
B．Because the currents in the center are less powerful．
C．Because it is too wide to be recognized or melted．
D．Because water in the center circulates in a clockwise direction．
（3）Which of the following statements about Lake Baikal's eddies is TRUE？
A．They are caused by hot and circular currents under the ice．
B．The ice in the center of Lake Baikal's eddies melts faster than that of the edge．
C．Researchers are uncertain about the exact reason of the eddies' existence．
D．Lake Beikal's eddies can only be measured at the depth of 700 feet．
（4）What maybe the best title for the passage？
A．What's causing the giant ice rings in Siberia？
B．The mystery of the eddies' in the Lake Baikal uncovered．
C．The largest and deepest freshwater lake ﹣ Lake Baikal．
D．Why does the edge of an ice ring melt faster？
14．（8 分）Two years ago， aerospace manufacturer SpaceX shocked the world by landing its
reusable booster（助推器） engine ﹣ the biggest and most costly part of the rocket used to
power spacecraft into low orbit ﹣ on an autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean． Now
， California﹣based startup Rocket Lab， has come up with an even more courageous idea：
using parachutes and helicopters to capture the returning booster， or first stage as it is often
called， in the air!
Rocket Lab's decision to avoid the propulsive or vertical（垂直的）landing used by SpaceX
comes from its business model to keep its Electron rockets small and cost﹣effective． Standing
just 57 feet tall， they are designed to deliver smaller payloads（有效载重）of about 500
pounds for only ＄5 million a launch． In contrast， the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket measuring
229 feet tall can lift up to 50，000 pounds， costs about ＄62 million a mission． "We're not
in the business of building medium﹣sized launch vehicles but small ones for customers to get 第 6 页（共 12 页）
on orbit frequently，" said Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck．
Similar to other rockets， the Electron divides into two once it reaches outer space． While
the top part， carrying the load， continues on to its final destination， the booster engine
falls back to Earth．
The company intends to fix a ballute ﹣ a parachute﹣like braking device ﹣ to quickly slow
down the booster's supersonic speed（超声速） upon its return into the atmosphere． Once it
slows down to a reasonable pace， a helicopter will grab the rocket from midair and put it onto
an awaiting ship to transport to the company's headquarters． Beck said： "The grand goal here
is that if we can capture the vehicle in wonderful condition， in theory， we should be able to
put it back on the pad， charge the batteries up， and go again．"
The idea， still in the concept stage， will become one step closer to becoming a reality
during Electron's next launch， scheduled for sometime in 3 years． "Engineers will carefully
monitor the first stage as it returns， testing its ability to guide its landing with the best way to
slow down its speed，" said Beck．
（1）We can infer from the first two paragraphs that ．
A．with a height of 229 feet， the Space X Falcon 9 rocket can deliver a load of 50，000 tons
B．small launch vehicles are designed by Rocket Lab to make its boosters economical
C．Space X once successfully captured its rocket before it landed on a ship in the Atlantic
Ocean
D．an autonomous drone ship is used by Rocket Lab to transport the first stage
（2）What distinguishes the Electron from other rockets？
A．It will be equipped with a ballute to reduce its landing speed．
B．Its booster engine falls back to the earth with the load．
C．It divides into two the instant it enters outer space．
D．It is loaded on a helicopter heading for the company's headquarters．
（3）What will Rocket Lab's following research focus on？
A．How to capture the booster engine without damaging its function．
B．When to slow down the first stage as it returns．
C．How to cut the cost of each launch mission by calculation．第 7 页（共 12 页）
D．How to make its rockets smaller and more reusable．
（4）In which column can you find this article in a piece of newspaper？
A． Books & Art．
B． Business．
C． Science Fiction．
D． Technology．

15．（10 分）Nowadays， money has become intangible（不易度量的）． Household shopping
is done online； pocket money is stored in an electronic wallet rather than a piggy bank．
Children rarely see their parents handling cash and they are spending online， too． （1）
The answer is GoHenry， an app with separate versions for parents and children， now
available both in America and Britain． （2） To use the app， parents need to sign up
with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee for their kids． They can see what the child
has bought and choose where the card can be used： in shops， online or at ATMs． They can
also schedule pocket money and set tasks． （3）
Children get debit cards（借记卡）carved with their name． （4） For example
， they can decide to save ten dollars for a friend's birthday in four weeks' time． The app tells
them how much to save each week to meet the goal．
Similar to a fitness app， GoHenry gives children feedback on their financial management
and motivates them to spend better and save． A big benefit of such an app is that it inspires
family conversations about money．
GoHenry has gained popularity since it entered the market． Parents sign up for different
purposes． Some regard the subscription as an investment in their children's future． （5）
Others uses it as a way for their children to learn to budget．
A．Some say they've been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow
up．
B．They can set a goal at the age of 12 to have ＄2，000 to buy a car at 18．
C．They can put money in saving pots， view their spending and balances， and set saving 第 8 页（共 12 页）
targets．
D．How， then， can children learn money's value and gain money﹣management skills？
E．When those are marked as done， the child is paid the agreed amount．
F．The app helps children form good financial habits through real﹣world money management
．
G．Though they no longer touch or hold money， they can still be taught to handle it well．
