From June 30, nearly 1,000 stores in Beijing. Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen began to phase out plastic straws for both dine-in and take-out, expanding to all stores in China by the end of 2020. Diners would drink cold beverages directly through the new cup cover. The move is expected to reduce plastic waste by about 400 tons a year. Zhang Jiayin, CEO of McDonald’s China, expressed that McDonald's is devoted to building a “beautiful China”. “We believe that taking advantage of McDonald's influence worldwide. reducing straws can be a huge step for sustainable development. In the past decade or so, we have continued to carry out the green packaging action.” Zhang said, “This movement is playing a positive role in the protection of the ecological environment.” The move is in keeping with China’s national plan to phase out single-use plastics which came into effect in January of this year, in an effort to combat its growing trash problem. Among other things, the government carries out a nationwide ban on plastic straws and disposable cutlery (一次性餐具) by the end of 2020, as well as a ban on plastic bags in major cities by the end of 2020, and nationwide by 2022. Plastic has increasingly played a role in global solid waste, and has choked oceans and rivers as well as landfills. Both companies and volunteers in the past few years have taken it upon themselves to respond to this plastic problem in their own ways. 1．What happened to McDonald’s in 2020? A．It started to gradually get rid of using plastic straws in China. B．It banned using plastic package in all stores. C．It became the first company to ban plastic straws in China. D．It successfully dealt with China’s trash problem. 2．What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Protect. B．Separate. C．Arouse. D．Fight. 3．What can we know about plastic? A．It is a kind of poisonous material. B．It has been solved completely so far. C．It results in a growing waste problem D．It should be banned in all fields. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．McDonald’s green packaging action B．Plastic a controversial material in daily use C．How to control environmental pollution?D．Devotion to building a beautiful China B I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I've grown to enjoy lifting weights，and I've learned from doing it. I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to resist. I've tried varying schedules — lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off. The every day approach was the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give myself a break. The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving yourself a chance to reenergize, you begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself Sundays off. Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything — and “everything” includes two magazines, building a house in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie — and, oh yeah, my day job. Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told myself that just because I have ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill them. Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine. So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show — I tape two a day — I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders. I have more energy, and I'm in a better mood for the second show and all the business that comes afterward. Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and thinking , I know for sure it’s time well spent. I’m refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new season begins, I'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come. Fully restored. 5．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To arouse the readers' concern. B．To summarize the whole passage. C．To state the importance of a good lifestyle. D．To introduce the theme of the whole passage. 6．Which of the following does the author agree with? A．Keeping everything straight. B．Resting at any time. C．Taking breaks between tasks. D．Having a full schedule. 7．What does the underlined “it” in Para.2 refer to? A．Everything. B．Building a house. C．My day job. D．Working on a movie. 8．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Lifting weights changes peopled life. B．A little restoration helps go a long way. C．Why people need to be in high spirits. D．Ten minutes' break will work wonders. C The new year always brings predictions. You know who gets them right? BLUETOOTH In his futuristic 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury anticipated Bluetooth, describing wireless earphones that allowed for "an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk" to be transferred through the air. Imagine how thrilled he would have been with a Bluetooth toaster! That was the idea behind Griffin's Connected Toaster, which warned you via smartphone when your toast was done. At $ 100, this baby cost a lot of bread, which may be why it was discontinued just two years after launch. SMARTWATCH The Apple Watch lets you chat, play games, and watch videos on a device fastened to your wrist. Cool, huh? The Jetsons thought so… in 1962 — when Steve Jobs was still in second grade! WI-FI Nikola Tesla called it! In 1909, the famous electrical engineer told the New York Times, "It will soon be possible to send wireless messages all over the world so simply that any individual can carry and operate his own equipment." No doubt he was thinking of the Kérastase Hair Coach brush, which measured brushing speed and employed a micro-phone to listen to your hair, all to compute an overall hair-quality score sent to your smartphone. (Alas, it too is gone.) GPS Writer Arthur C．Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey) saw a world in which no one got lost. In 1956，he wrote that satellites “could make possible a position-finding grid (铁网) whereby anyone could locate himself by means of a couple of dials on an instrument about the size of a watch.” Clarke didn't mention that his system might also track another person, such as a criminal. Last year, the New York City police arrested a robber who was wearing a GPS ankle monitor — because he was still on probation (缓刑) for a prior crime. 9．Which of the predictions is the earliest? A．BLUETOOTH. B．SMART WATCH, C．WI-FI. D．GPS. 10．Why did Griffin's Connected Toaster disappear? A．Too expensive. B．Out of date. C．A little awkward D．Energy-consuming. 11．What was Clarke’s prediction? A．A GPS ankle monitor. B．A robber-arresting instrument. C．A watch that could see the world. D．An instrument that could locate a person. D A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood, without glue, screws or nails. Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge. Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills. His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge. The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views. His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!” 12．Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu Ban? A．For his simple words. B．For his popular videos. C．For his carpentry skills. D．For his excellent arch bridge. 13．What do Grandpa Amu’s remarks mean in Paragraph 2? A．Theory is from pracitce. B．Success depends on love. C．Excellent skills lie in hard work. D．Happiness comes from interest. 14．What is the unique feature of Grandpa Amu’s craft works? A．No nails or glue. B．Delicate design. C．The apple shape. D．The wooden material. 15．What message does this text mainly convey? A．Being popular means more fans. B．Perfect skills earn more money. C．Supporting family needs more skills. D．Traditional crafts deserve passing on. 第二节 (共 5小题；每小题 2.5分, 满分 12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Slash(斜杠)Careers What is your job? Are you a teacher or a businessperson? Or maybe you are a lawyer/writer or a teacher/photographer. 16．The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark(标识符)—a slash that comes between job titles. People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job usually comes before the slash.17．This secondary job can help supplement the person’s income. Why would anyone want more than one job? Some people look to their jobs for opportunities to develop their interests. But most people have too many interests for one job. Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance. 18． On the other hand, a slash career can be dangerous for work-life balance. 19． One might give up necessary things like relaxation, exercise or time with one’s family. People with slash careers need to think carefully about how they use their time. This includes knowing when to stop working. The clear advantage to slash careers is the extra income that secondary jobs provide. It’s always helpful to have a little extra money to spend or to save. 20． With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job may be so successful that it can turn into one’s primary job. If your interests stretch beyond your ordinary job, a slash career may work for you. A．Slash careers provide extra money. B．Slash careers also make one’s life more stable. C．Working more than one job can fill up all of your time. D．If you have more than one job, you have a slash career. E.It shows the person is creative and willing to work hard. F.The job after the slash is often based on a person’s interests. G.That’s because they can give people an opportunity to express themselves. 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节, 满分 30分) 第一节 (共 15小题；每小题 1分, 满分 15分) The next time you find an excuse to abandon your goals, think of Chris Nikic.

He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him. “Kirstie, come here," my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. "Henry's book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me, something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn't wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother's love. He was ruining my life. Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot （绳结）as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work? Far from manly! Soon, it was time to have to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, "It's the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him, Honey. I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn't use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn't seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring （束带）on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out! 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试题参考答案 第二部分 阅读 (共两节, 每小题 2.5分，满分 50分) 1-20：ADCA DCAD CAD CCAD DFGCB 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节, 满分 30分) 第一节 (共 15小题；每小题 1分, 满分 15分) 21-35:BACDB CDBAC DABDC 第二节 (共 10小题；每小题 1.5分, 满分 15分) 36．patterns 37．Generally 38．which 39．ones 40．to stand 41．are painted 42．while 43．the 44．occupation 45．for 第四部分 写作 (共两节, 满分 40分) 第一节 Contributions Wanted Aimed at promoting students' understanding of the spirit of the ox, the school English newspaper is going to hold an English Essay Contest next month.

He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre. After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.
