FOUR BEST BOOKSHOPS IN LONDON
Looking for something to read while in London? If so, you’re in luck: the British capital happens to have an incredible collection of bookshops.
Daunt Books
Are you going on a trip and want to read a novel or nonfiction book set in the place you’re headed? This bookshop arranges books by country, so it’s easy to find anything by place. (83 Marylebone High Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:00-19:30; Sunday: 11:00-18:00.)
Foyles Books
Dig, if you will, the picture: four miles of shelves holding up to 200,000 books. This legendary (传奇的) bookshop is impossible to leave empty-handed. It was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest bookshop on the planet. (107 Charing Cross Road. Monday-Saturday: 9:00-21:00; Sunday: 11:30-18:00.) Hatchards
In the year 1797, this London bookshop—the oldest in the city today—first flicked on its lights. It stocks an excellent selection of fiction, nonfiction, history and other genres. (187 Piccadilly Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:30-20:00; Sunday: 12:00-18:30.)
London Review Bookshop
There’s an excellent selection of history, philosophy, politics, new fiction and many other genres here. Plus, there’s a nice cafe in which you can crack open that tome (巨著) for the first time and start reading. (14 Bury Place. Monday-Saturday 10:00-18:30; Sunday 12:00-18:00.)
21. Which bookstore was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records?

B
I’m going to be completely honest. I have no idea how I ended up with this opportunity, I have no idea what I’m doing, but I am very happy to be here.
Last summer a friend tagged me in a Facebook post from BBC Earth and encouraged me to apply to the BBC Presenter Search 2018. The assignment was easy and hard, make a video shorter than 60 seconds where you talk about something in science you think is cool. Simple concept, but for me it was challenging as I want to talk about bryophytes(苔藓植物) forever (which is slightly longer than 60 seconds).
So I decided to make an attempt. I was going to make a 60 second video about sphagnum(水苔), commonly known as peat moss and uncommonly known as an unsung climate hero. Sphagnum is the plant genus that holds the most carbon in the world, it slowly builds up its carbon storage over hundreds of thousands of years and if undisturbed, they never let go of the carbon they gathered.
Making a short video on this was hard because I wanted to include everything. And it became even harder as I had no one to hold the camera. I tied my camera to the scrawniest little tree, swinging in the wind as a bird tried to chase me away from the mud. This chaos ended up as the video “Why sphagnum is
awesome” on my channel. I submitted the video, but didn’t dare to write in the description section of the video that it was a submission, because I never imagined that I could win!
But I did.
I waited two months before I could tell people that I had won the search, and when the news came out, I received the most attention I’ve had in my entire life.
No matter your background, whether you want to pass the time or pass an exam, I really hope you enjoy the video!
24. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 1?
A. She is uncertain about the result. B. She gets used to telling people lies.
C. She is unable to achieve the goal. D. She knows much about the ending.
25. Which of the following is NOT true about sphagnum?
A. It can form its carbon storage in a very slow way.
B. It is universally recognized as an unknown climate hero.
C. It won’t release the carbon without being disturbed.
D. It contains a large amount of carbon.
26. The underlined word “scrawniest” in Paragraph 4 probably means ___________.
A. weakest B. strongest C. shortest D. most energetic
27. What can we learn from the author’s story?
A. She shows great interest in filming the video.
B. Her knowledge helps overcome all the difficulties.
C. Her attitude and hard work pay off eventually.
D. She is more than delighted to gain the most attention.
C
If we want a fair shot at transitioning to renewable energy, we’ll need one critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa (反之亦然). Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the world on renewables.
The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.
Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers (电解器) do this by using electricity—ideally from solar and wind power—to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts (催化剂) to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.
“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.
28. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?
A. Its universal use remains to be seen.
B. It is more expensive but more practical.
C. It can transform more renewable energy.
D. It is the most advanced around the world.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The rapid development of American technologies.
B. The potential market for energy transformation technologies.
C. The history of energy transformation technologies.
D. The lack of power in California.
30. What may the researchers focus on next?
A. Lessening costly batteries.
B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions.
C. Looking for one shared catalysts for the two reactions.
D Breaking down water into a carbon-free fuel without using electricity.
31. What is Haile’s attitude to the future of the new device?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Cautious.
D
Take a walk through Washington and you’ll find plenty of marble memorials(纪念碑). But is that what the future of the memorial-rich city holds? If the winners of a new design competition have their way, probably not.
The Memorials for the Future design competition invited submissions (意见书) from teams throughout the world. Though, the memorials selected won’t actually be built in the city, they were intended to start a discussion about how to think of memorials in a very different future.
Climate Chronograph, the winning project by Team Azimuth Land Craft, greatly departs from memorials as we know them. The project memorializes the harmful effects of climate change by suggesting a memorial at Hains Point, a spot between the Potomac River and Washington Channel. Just 100 years ago, the man-made island was part of the river. It came into existence after the National Park Service decided to turn the confluence(合流点) of the waters into a tidal basin to protect the nearby National Mall from floods.
Those floods are expected to come more and more often as the climate changes. Climate Chronograph will memorialize those changes by planting cherry trees as a kind of tidal gauge(潮位计) that can be used by future visitors to determine just how much water levels have risen.
The other winning projects include a project that frees mechanical parrots that fly over the Jefferson Memorial and collect and retell stories about monuments,a podcast (播客) platform that puts immigrant stories on public transportation, and an interactive memorial that brings national parks to the D. C. Metro. The competition also produced a report that points to ways America can better memorialize the things that matter—strategies that could help cities save money and space.
That’s good news, especially given that D. C. ’s iconic Mall has been closed to new construction. The memorials of the future won’t just turn collective memories toward the stories of new phenomena and groups like climate change and immigrants. Rather, it seems that they’ll make use of space in new creative ways—no marble needed.
32. What is the purpose of the design competition?
A. To select the best design team. B. To find new uses for old memorials.
C. To design new memorials for Washington. D. To explore new ways of experiencing memorials.
33. What can be used to replace the underlined word “departs” in Paragraph 3?
A. Differs B. Benefits C. Suffers D. Learns
34. What do we know about Climate Chronograph?
A. It will be located in a park.
B. It will be built after the competition.
C. It clearly shows the effects of climate change.
D. It uses high-tech equipment to measure climate change.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A memorial to a sad future. B. Marble memorials are out of date.
C. Climate Chronograph, memorial for our future. D. What will the memorials of the future look like?

Traveling with kids, regardless of the age, is a terrible thing for new parents. Responsibility is high and travel expenses might be unexpected at any point of the trip. If you are planning your first road trip or vacation with children, there are several important things to consider.
Get a child locator. 36 and many parents sometimes lose their kids Popular tourist destinations are overcrowded, too. So, if you are afraid of losing your children, get a child locator to be aware of where your kids are going when they accidentally get lost.
37 You do not need to pack tons of toys, sweets and a tablet full of games in order to keep your little ones entrained. You can encourage them to create a travel journal or smash book, read, tell each
other stories, or give them a camera to capture the most precious moments during your trip. 38
39 This is a must even during the shortest road trip. You can handle a headache, but your child can’t. If you do not know what to put in your first aid kit (急救箱), consult your children’s doctor, because all children are different and the medicines either.
Apart from the above, money, passport, avoiding heavy luggage, pick a family-friendly destination and family friendly accommodation are also needed. Traveling with kids is exciting and interesting. Your first trip might not be so exciting, but with a careful preparation, your family trip will be the most memorable one. 40
A. Keep them careful[来源:学科网ZXXK]
B. Keep them entertained
C. Pack a small, kid-friendly first aid kit.
D. Board games might be a god choice, too
E. Airports and train stations are usually overcrowded.
F. Avoiding your little ones in the panning of the trip is a good idea.
G. Involve your little ones in the planning of the trip, which will help you

28.【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the world on renewables.”可知,现在,研究人员已经创造出了同时具备这两种功能的实验室规模的设备。如果更大的版本也能发挥作用,它们将有助于使世界上使用可再生能源成为可能——或者至少更经济实惠。所以通过关键词“ small lab-scale devices ,if引导的条件状语从从句”可以推断出,这种新装置大规模地投入使用还需拭目以待。故选A项。
29.【答案】B[来源:学科网ZXXK]
【解析】主旨大意题。由第二段“The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables”可知,这类技术的市场随着可再生能源的发展而增长以及对市场增长的具体介绍可知,第二段主要说明这个新装置潜在的市场很大。故选B项。

The researchers must conquer this.”可知,但是商业电解器和燃料电池用不同的催化剂加速这两种反应,这意味着一个设备不能同时做这两件事。研究人员必须攻克这个难题。这个难题是必须攻克的,也是研究人员下一步要集中解决的问题。所以推断出,接下来研究人员会主攻这两种反应能够共用的催化剂。故选C项。
31.【答案】D[来源:Z_xx_k.Com]
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.”可知,不过,她提醒说,她的新设备和来自奥海雷实验室小型的实验室演示。为了让这项技术产生社会影响,
研究人员需要增加这种纽扣大小设备的产量,但是这一过程通常会降低其性能。所以通过Haile的观点可以推断出,她对这个新装置的未来持谨慎的态度,虽然实验室成功了,但并不代表量产就没有问题。没有盲目自信也没有消极放弃。故选D项。

62.【答案】participating
【解析】考查现在分词。句意:皮尤研究中心的一项新调查发现,富裕家庭完全按日程安排行事,子女跳芭蕾、踢足球、参加课外项目。分析句子可知,本句中涉及with的复合结构。在with 的复合结构中,children 和participate在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词participating。故填participating 。
63.【答案】a
【解析】考查冠词。句意:皮尤研究中心的一项新调查发现,富裕家庭完全按日程安排行事,子女跳芭蕾、踢足球、参加课外项目。第一次提到这家调查中心,表示"一个",用a/an,又因为new首字母的发音为辅音音素,所以用不定冠词a。故填 a。
64.【答案】are
【解析】考查主谓一致。句意:这些家庭通常是双亲家庭,家长会花大量时间给子女读书,并且担心他们的焦虑程度和紧张的日程安排。分析句子可知,本句为There be句型,为完全倒装句,主语为two parents,所以be动词为are。故填are 。
65.【答案】about
【解析】考查介词。句意:这些家庭通常是双亲家庭,家长会花大量时间给子女读书,并且担心他们的焦虑程度和紧张的日程安排。worry about “担心”为固定短语。故填about 。

67.【答案】which/that
【解析】考查关系代词。句意:他们成长的社区更可能被父母形容为不适合养育孩子,而父母会担心他们遭枪击、挨打或参与违法活动。分析句子可知,neighborhoods为先行词指物,在后面的定语从句中作主语,所以关系代词为that/which。 故填that/which 。
68.【答案】or
【解析】考查连词。句意:他们成长的社区更可能被父母形容为不适合养育孩子,而父母会担心他们遭枪击、挨打或参与违法活动。getting shot,beaten up 和in trouble with the law是选择关系,所以用连词or来连接。 故填or。
69.【答案】are widening
【解析】考查现在进行时。句意:研究者认为,子女抚养方面的阶级差异正在扩大,这是不平等现象加剧的一个征兆。由“at present”可知,本句为现在进行时,主语为the class differences,谓语为are widening。 故填are widening。
70.【答案】division(s)
【解析】考查名词。句意:不同的养育方式会将孩子置于不同的发展路径,并加深社会经济的差距,尤其是教育与收入有很大的关联。socioeconomic为形容词修饰名词division(s)。 故填division(s)。
短文改错
1. 【答案】that → whom
【解析】考查定语从句关系词。本句为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句,修饰先行词deskmate,且做介词with的宾语,指人应关系代词用whom。故that 改为 whom。
2. 【答案】a → an
【解析】考查冠词。honest为元音音素开头的单词,故应用不定冠词an。故a 改为 an。
1. 【答案】adjust 后加to
【解析】考查固定短语。固定短语adjust to“适应于……”,故adjust 后加to。
2. 【答案】which→ that
【解析】考查强调句。句意:正是在她的帮助下,我才熟悉了这所学校。分析句子结构可知本句为强调句结构“it is (was)+被强调成分+that (who)+其他”,本句中强调的是with her help,故用that。故which改为 that。
3. 【答案】determine →determination
【解析】考查名词。句意:然而,给我印象最深的是她的勤奋和决心。根据上文her diligence and可知应用名词形式,表示“决心”。故determine改为determination。
4. 【答案】out删掉
【解析】考查固定短语。短语try one’s best“尽某人最大努力”,故out删掉。
5. 【答案】myself → me考查代词。
【解析】此处做动词help的宾语,指“帮助我”应用第一人称宾格形式me,故myself 改为 me。
6. 【答案】steady → steadily考查副词。
【解析】此处修饰动词progress应用副词,故steady 改为 steadily。
7. 【答案】Have →Having
【解析】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知本句缺少主语,需用动名词短语做主语,故Have 改为Having。
8. 【答案】lasts → last
【解析】考查动词时态。句意:愿我们的友谊天长地久。may为情态动词,后跟动词原形,故lasts改为last。
