Long Island's hiking routes offer an escape for family time or your own mental or
physical health. There's lots to see, so open your senses because it's a relaxing thing to do in
a stressful time.
Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay
Walk along the same path that President Theodore Roosevelt walked with his family
and guests. Sagamore Hill, now a national park, was once the summer home of the 26th
president. The expansive property has a nature path through thick woodlands where hikers
can walk over a little bridge over a stream. It's a short, three-quarter-mile path through oak
and tulip trees.

As doctors performed surgery on Dagmar Turner's brain, the sound of a violin filled the
operating room. The music came from the patient on the operating table. In a video from the
surgery, the violinist was moving her bow（琴弓）up and down as surgeons behind a plastic
sheet worked to remove her brain tumor（肿瘤）．The King's College Hospital surgeons woke
her up in the middle of the operation in order to ensure they did not damage parts of the brain
necessary for playing the violin and keep her hand's functions intact.
Turner, 53, learned that she had a slow-growing tumor. Later doctors found that it had
become more aggressive and the violinist decided to have surgery to remove it. Turner recalled
doctors telling her, "Your tumor is on the right-hand side, so it will not affect your right hand, it
will affect your left hand. "Staring down at her left hand, she said," This is my most important
part. My job these days is playing the violin, which is my passion."
"We knew how important the violin is to Turner, so it was vital that we preserved function
in the delicate areas of her brain that allowed her to play," Keyoumars Ashkan, a doctor at King's 高三英语试题 第 3 页（共10 页）
College Hospital, said in a press release.
Before Turner's operation, Ashkan and his colleagues spent two hours carefully mapping
her brain to identify areas that were active when she played the violin and those controlling
language and movement. Waking her up during surgery then allowed doctors to monitor whether
those parts were suffering damage. The surgery was a success. Ashkan said, "We managed to
remove over 90 percent of the tumor, including all areas suspicious of aggressive activity, while
retaining full function of her left hand."
Brad Mahon, expert at Carnegie Mellon University, said the basic features of an "awake
craniotomy“—the type of brain surgery where patients are awake in order to avoid damage to
critical brain areas—have remained largely unchanged for decades. For example, doctors have
long used simple tests such as asking a patient to name what they're seeing in pictures to make
sure language ability is preserved.
But he said that doctors are now able to map the patient's brain activity in great detail before
the surgery, using an imaging technique called functional MRI. That means surgeons are coming
into the operating room with far more information about a specific patient's brain . That kind of
information helps doctors tailor tests to a patient's particular needs.
4. What does the underlined word "intact" mean in the first paragraph?
A. strong B. sound C. talented D. influential
5. Why did Ashkan and his colleagues map Tume's brain before operation?
A. To keep her brain more active when she played the violin.
B. To monitor whether her brain had suffered damage severely.
C. To recognize the areas related to music and movement precisely.
D. To remove the tumor while keeping all function of her brain.
6. What can we know according to Brad Mahon?
A. Doctors are using an imaging technique to monitor the surgery.
B. Patients are asleep to protect critical brain areas in a surgery.
C. A patient's language ability couldn't be preserved before.
D. Surgeons can personalize a patient's operation by mapping his brain.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Musician joined in her own brain surgery B. Mapping a brain is realized after surgery
C. The violinist suffers from a brain tumor D. Doctors perform surgery on a brain

The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are
more special than most.高三英语试题 第 4 页（共10 页）
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be "sustainable”—to avoid using too many
natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the
organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old
electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and
silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge.
That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell
phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country,
and asked people to tum in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the
initiative , turning in smartphones, digital cameras , hand-held games, and laptops. At first,
collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621
local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken
apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted（ 熔 炼 ）to get all the gold, silver, and
bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's
also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to
touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal
for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver
and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-
be winners.
8. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympic medals?
A. They are hugely valuable.
C. They are designed uniquely.
B. They are of high quality.
D. They are made from e-waste.
9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. The difficulty of making the medals.
B. The process of collecting old electronics.
C. The initiative to recycle used smartphones.
D. The classification of the collected devices .
10. The underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 5 means _.高三英语试题 第 5 页（共10 页）
A. creative
C. demanding
B. well-paid
D. time-consuming
11. What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?
A. To advocate sustainable use of resources.
B. To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.
C. To introduce a new technique to make medals.
D. To call people's attention to environmental damage.
D
"When I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw
more plastic bags than fish." These are the words of Boyan Slat, an engineer who designed
the world's first ocean plastic cleanup system.
Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according to the
UN Environment Programme. It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will rival the
weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat
created the Ocean Cleanup, an environmental governmental organization, and put his plan
for an ocean cleanup device into action.
After years of research and development in the Netherlands, a device called System
001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-
meter-long C-shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods,
the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow
into and stay within the device. A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the
system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the
waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using
a 3-meter-deep skirt（档板）attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be
dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.
Right now, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is 3
times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able
to clear 50% of the great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.
"It remains to be seen whether this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that
humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has
caused," Slat said. "We are starting to see a young generation that gets it and is excited about 高三英语试题 第 6 页（共10 页）
a sustainable future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and
how much damage will have been done before we get there?"
12. What does the underlined word "rival" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Compare. B. Equal. C. Measure. D. Cover.
13. Why did Boyan Slat create the Ocean Cleanup?
A. To collect ocean plastic waste. B. To help to invent System 001/B.
C. To protect the living environment offish. D. To do research on the ocean environment.
14. What can we know about System 001/B?
A. It can collect and recycle garbage at the same time.
B. It can only gather ocean waste which floats on the water.
C. It aims to clear up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.
D. It is an ocean-cleaning device which has already been put to use.
15. What does Slat want to tell us according to the last paragraph?
A. Young generations care less about the environment.
B. The future ecology of the oceans is deeply worrying.
C. People should work hard to decrease plastic pollution.
D. It's quite difficult to repair the damage to the environment.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有
两项为多余选项。
Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number of
species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for
other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. 16 For example, most city parks are kept neat and
tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we
destroy natural habitats.
17 When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running
along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the
home of thousands of bats. 18 Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors.
The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The
Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created 高三英语试题 第 7 页（共10 页）
open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of
birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. 19
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.
20 Our own future will be endangered too.
A. They are built to protect birds.
B. Our actions sometimes help other species.
C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
F.At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G.They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.

I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out. I heard a
laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new
stepsister and stepmother moved in—Jen and Mom.
I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched（ 夹
脚 ）． I didn't remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had
always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I
wished I had the magic to change it back.
I heard Dad's footsteps upstairs. "Do you want to take Jen skating?" he asked.
"I guess." I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building
a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.
"Thanks," Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. "We'll make that snowman later,"
he promised.
"Yeah," I agreed, not too sure we'd have time.
Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates. I
had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn't
help but feel as if she were changing everything.
"No, thanks. I'm not hungry," I said, although I was, a little. "Ready?"
I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.
The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was
awkward. "Did you go skating a lot last year?" I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to 高三英语试题 第 10 页（共10 页）
my mind.
Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, "On Thanksgiving, Mom and I
always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys."
Until then, I'd never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new
stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near
a lake, and she'd had to move up north with us. She'd had more changes than me.
Suddenly, I didn’t feel quite so sorry for myself
We were so busy making the snow turkey that we didn't hear our parents come outside 高三英语试题 第 11 页（共10 页）
