Did you know that the United States has over 2,600 National Historic Landmarks?
They serve as official markers of the country's，history by way of an event, person, time
period, design or archeological finding and not just any old site will do. Here we’ve

including her autobiography The Story of My Life.
Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, Georgia
Built in 1891, this plant served as the headquarters and bottling plant for the soda
giant as it grew from soda shop to a manufactured brand. In 1966, Coca-Cola moved
into something larger. Currently, it functions as part of Georgia State University’s
campus.
Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.

tours of this amazing space are available. Brooklyn Bridge, New York City
Completed in 1883, Brooklyn Bridge is a famous sight and it has a rich history too.
Due to its lengthy span, New Yorkers’ fear was heightened after 12 people were killed

Hedy Lamarr was used to being admired for her looks. As a Hollywood film star,
she was called “the most beautiful woman in the world. What she was less known for
was her scientific thinking ability. During World War II, Lamarr quietly co-invented the
technology that would be the precursor （前身）to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other systems
we rely on today.
She had a natural curiosity about the world around her. As young as 5, she would
spend time taking apart and rebuilding her music box to understand how it worked. At
16, she got her first Him role and quickly became an international icon （偶像）. As her
acting career continued to take off, World War II broke out. Lamarr became restless,
feeling that she should do more to contribute to the Allies’ war efforts. “Lamarr said that
she did not feel very comfortable, sitting there in Hollywood and making lots of money
when things were in such a state,” says George Antheil
Together with Antheil, Lamarr came up with a groundbreaking new form of
wireless communication known as Spread Spectrum（频谱）. The concept was to create
a wireless signal that could travel quickly from frequency to frequency. But the military
refused to use it in their war efforts. The technology sat unused for years, until one day
in the 1960s, the military accepted it and called the system “Spread like Wildfire”.
Hedy Lamarr played the role she was expected to play in Hollywood - a beautiful
star on the big screen. And without her, communication could look completely different
today. Lamarr’s experience can serve as a reminder: Pursue your talents and passions.
Not only will the world be better for it, but every pioneer who challenges the old will
pave the way for others to follow.
24. Which of the following best describes Lamarr?
A. She became an international star in her childhood.
B. She was popular for her extraordinary beauty.
C. She invented the technology completely by her own.
D. She had to do more to gain success in her career.
25. What motivated Lamarr to invent “Spread Spectrum**?
A. Making lots of money.
B. Becoming more popular.
C. Showing off her ability.
D. Helping the Allies’ war efforts.
26. What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A. A fast-frequently-spreading signal was created in Spread Spectrum.
B. The name “Spread like Wildfire” showed the hidden danger.
C. Showing off her ability.
D. Helping the Allies’ war efforts.
26. What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A. A fast-frequently-spreading signal was created in Spread Spectrum.
B. The name “Spread like Wildfire” showed the hidden danger.
C. The military never showed interest in Spread Spectrum.
D. Spread Spectrum was an ordinary form of communication.
27. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A Film Star With A Great Contribution
B. An International Icon
C. A Woman And The Allies, War Efforts
D. A Wireless Communication
C
The great outdoors: it’s the place to head for when you' re in need of peace and
quiet, open spaces, beautiful scenery and exercise. Whether a huge mountain range or a
local country park, these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh from our stressed-out
lives, and their therapeutic effect is being used more and more to treat mental health.
As an example, in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in the UK,
specialist therapy sessions are held to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety
and stress. Outdoor art-related activities are held for patients, but the setting alone has
been credited with improving the mood of patients. Art psychotherapist Pamela Stanley
told the BBC that there was a “growing body of evidence” to support eco-therapy.
It' s true that for most of us connecting with the natural world definitely lifts our
spirits. But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a
formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor. It
doesn’t involve taking medication, hut instead it just develops a person' s relationship
with nature. This natural remedy can take on many forms, including doing yoga in a
forest, gardening or even hugging a tree.
Evidence has shown there are many benefits of this “green” therapy, including
improving social contact, social and work skills and coping abilities. It's what Dr.
Rachel Bragg from the University of Essex calls “psychological restoration”. She told
the BBC’s All in the Mind programme that nature-based therapies should be part of a
“toolkit” of care for patients.
Of course, eco-therapy won't cure everything, but it is an option for therapists to use.
And as we become more aware of the causes and effects of mental health, it' s good to
know that help might lie outside our towns and cities, and that nature can give us a
helping hand.
28. In what way does nature work in the therapeutic effect?
A. It helps people get much relieved.
B. It helps people do bodybuilding.
C. It is doctor1 s preference for treatments.
D. It can help us fully recover from the illness.
29. What does the underlined word ° remedy ° in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. option B. contact C. treatment D. effect
30. What might be the best way of receiving eco-therapy?
A. Tending a garden.
B. Taking medicine.
C. Meditating at home.
D. Gathering with friends.
31. What is Dr. Rachel Bragg's attitude towards the eco-therapy?
A. Unwilling. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Positive.
D
Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, GIS and Mapping, Location
Technology and autonomous machines are playing a growing role in responding to
COVID-19 pandemic.
An important policy for authorities across the globe right now is to prevent the
spread of the virus. To ensure it, they are taking unprecedented （空前的） measures to
reduce people-to-people contact. Most countries took measures like the closure of
non-essential public places, ban of mass gatherings and ensuring a social distancing to
limit physical contact.
However, in some areas where individuals are not obeying the restrictions
knowingly or unknowingly, or do not know what the latest restrictions are, law
enforcing authorities are using drones （无人机） to monitor people' s movement and
break up social gatherings that could cause a risk to society. The introduction of drones
at this time of crisis is reducing the risk of getting infected to police officials and other
staff since it enables them to monitor a vast range of area without physical engagement.
In addition to street monitoring, authorities are also using drones to broadcast
messages and information about lockdown measures, especially in rural area that lacks
open communication channels for health information. Drones equipped with
loudspeakers are used to make public announcements to keep people indoors, take
necessary preventive measures, make social-distancing and wear a mask if stepping
outside from home.
A Global Times video on Twitter shows a drone flying over a village in Inner
Mongolia, warning an old lady with audio in Chinese “Yes, Grandmother, it’s the drone
who is talking to you. You should not go out without wearing a mask. You’d better go
home and don' t forget to wash your hands.”
However, the use of drones raises a debate about privacy and individual rights on
mainstream media as well as social media platforms.
32. What role do drones play in responding to COVID-19 pandemic?
A. Helping us know how COVID-19 spreads.
B. Preventing the spread of the virus.
C. Monitoring medical staff and collecting infected cases.
D. Monitoring social activities and broadcasting lockdown measures.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Individuals are breaking the restrictions deliberately.
B. Authorities don't know what the latest restrictions are.
C. All people' s social gatherings could threaten society.
D. Police officials and other staff are at less risk with drones.
34. Why is a Global Times video on Twitter mentioned in the text?
A. To show drones work well without physical engagement.
B. To show drones have positive effects but sometimes scary.
C. To show people in rural area are curious about drones.
D. To show people in rural area are resistant to drones.
35. What might be discussed in the following paragraph?
A. The great demand for drones.
B. Different comments on the use of drones.
C. How to update drones.
D. How to protect people' s privacy and individual rights.
第二节(共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。
In these days of highly-packaged products and non-stop junk mail, we all know that
sending household waste to landfill is a really bad idea and that in an ideal world we
would manage to recycle or reuse everything taking our landfill down to zero.
36 .
Reduce the stuff in
37 , the first step to reduce what we send to landfill is to consider reducing the
amount of stuff that conies into our homes and offices each week. For a useful exercise,
why not set up a journal to record everything you bring into your home and compare it
to what goes back out again as rubbish —almost like accounting for landfill?
Reuse the rubbish differently
Of the rubbish you still produce, what could realistically find a new purpose in your
home? For example, plastic food trays can be used as seed growing containers. Bottles
can be refilled. I even know of one company that turns old CDs into fashionable clocks.
38
Just because you no longer have a need for an item, it doesn’t mean someone else
won’t be interested in it. From old electrical goods to books and children’s toys, there
are plenty of opportunities to give lots of your rubbish away to other grateful people.
Sell the junk
You might be surprised that you can sell some of the junk you' re looking to throw
away. 39 , you can not only receive some money, (why not donate a percentage to
a good cause while you’re about it?), but clear out your rubbish without feeling guilty at
the same time.
Fix the old items
Could you actually fix the item you' re considering throwing away? 40
Spare parts can be bought for many household appliances t bicycles, cars and more that
will give them a new life, save you the money of replacing them and once again reduce
the amount of rubbish you throw away.
A. Bottles can be recycled
B. Recycle the used objects
C. Give away the spare things
D. Old electrical items can often be repaired
E. As the old programming proverb goes “rubbish in, rubbish out”
F. Whether that involves a car boot sale or placing an advert in the local paper
G. Here are practical measures we can really take to reduce the rubbish we throw
away

One possible version ：
Dear Terry,
Overjoyed to know that you are interested in the tai chi classes, I am willing to
share with you my tai chi experience and its benefits.
At the very beginning, I hesitated to go to the tai chi classes held in Sunshine Sports,
thinking it is just for old people. However, it was after a few classes that tai chi caught
my imagination. In time, I began looking into the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi,
deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
A certain time of practicing tai chi has had impacted my daily life. Not only and I
more energetic and confident, but also my mind has been relaxed in stressful situation.
Hopefully, you will experience tai chi and enjoy its benefits.
Yours,
Li Hua
