21、The world can be a scary place when you' re young. It can be even scarier when you' re a young little blue penguin(企鹅) , the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner，in Christchurch，the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene，he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I'm waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I'm here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks, Billy the baby blue penguin.”

Billy didn't move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It's unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day, ”Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.

Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.

The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it's set free into the ocean.

【1】Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?

A．It is a rare species.

B．It faces potential danger.

C．It is surrounded by the crowd.

D．It is threatened by dogs.

【2】It can be inferred from the text that Billy ．

A．is a male penguin

B．has expressed its thanks

C．weighs less for its age

D．prefers living on the beach

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 4?

A．Ignored.

B．Cured.

C．Given away.

D．Brought back.

【4】What will happen to Billy in the center?

A．It will be reported to Stuff.

B．It will be visited by the locals.

C．It will be taken good care of.

D．It will be fed with fruit juice.

22、Unusually bright light in the sky that appeared suddenly last June has got astronomers in great excitement, After months of study, they still aren’t sure what the object — university referred to as the “Cow” — is, whatever it is, says astronomer Lilian Rivera Sandoval or Texas Tech University in Lubbock, “It’s super strange and we are obsessed with its study.”

The Cow first appeared in telescope observations on 16 June 2018, in what turned out to be small galaxy about 200 million light years away. “When we saw that we thought, let’s get on this.” says Daniel Perley, an astronomer at Liverpool John Moore University.

The early observations confirmed the Caw was truly strange. It didn’t show the obvious changes in its light output that an exploding star would make. Sandoval ways as soon as she and colleagues Anew the Cow was truly distant, they requested time on NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to see what the Cow was doing in X-rays. Although the X-ray brightness varied over the early weeks, “the spectrum didn’t change, which is very unusual,” she notes. After 3 weeks, the X-ray signal began to vary more wildly while also dropping off in brightness.

Many astronomers agree that the long and steady duration of the event means that it was powered after an initial explosion by some form of central engine. But what that engine may be is also far from clear. Some argue that it could be a very unusual star whose central part has collapsed inward after it exploded. Others say it is a tidal disruption event — a star being torn apart by a black hole. But that usually requires the supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy, and the Cow is situated in its galaxy’s arm. So, some say, il could be a tidal disruption event generated by an intermediate mass black hole, although evidence for the existence of such smaller black holes remains controversial. “All explanations have problems,” Sandoval says, “I hope there are more Cows.”

【1】What is astronomers’ main concern about the Cow?

A．When it appears.

B．How it forms.

C．What it is.

D．Where it is from.

【2】What can be inferred in Paragraph 3?

A．The Cow is a not typical exploding star in the galaxy.

B．The changes of X-rays brightness proved the Cow unique.

C．The Cow is not far from the Earth and easy to study.

D．The X-ray test helped find accurate features of the Cow.

【3】What do Sandoval’s words at the end of the text probably mean?

A．The research results help little.

B．More Cows will appear.

C．Extra attention should be paid to the Cow.

D．More information is needed.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Astronomers conducted an interesting experiment at NASA.

B．The Cow has aroused astronomers’ passion in its research.

C．There exists a wide range of changes in the galaxies.

D．The discovery of the Cow is a great achievement.

23、Quality of life refers to an individual's general well-being. It can be determined by a variety of factors, especially the mental ones. 【1】 The following tips could give you what you need.

Spend time with your thoughts. Spending time with your thoughts is a good way to know what makes you happy. It is worthwhile to always think about what you really need, and then act as you like. Know what upsets you and try to get away from it if possible. 【2】

Get some help for constant problems. Sometimes things affecting your quality of life are simply your worry. 【3】 For instance, you may have issues with insomnia(失眠症) as you are aging. It can be difficult to get rid of it all by yourself. In this case, speaking to a professional doctor could relax yourself and help get your life back on track,

【4】If you feel down for having been leading a plain or even boring life and not accomplishing something meaningful, now it might be the time to start working on something bold(大胆的) to cheer you up. You can start by taking on a project that you’ve previously been afraid of.

Learn something new. The more you develop your talents in many different areas, the more you have to be proud of. Have you ever doubted yourself? 【5】 This is because learning something new can help you add more skills to your list and prepare you for more chances ahead.

A．Go out and try some new exercise.

B．Do something you were once afraid of.

C．You'd better change the way that you think.

D．It can also be achieved through trying in many ways.

E．Getting in touch with your inner thoughts helps get your pleasure.

F．Learning something new can be a good way to develop confidence.

G．You might find that you have an issue that concerns you all the time.

24、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项.

A

Flying

Ever since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in

Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and---best of

all---I flew!

My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to

flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself

to learning one of the world’s best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough

ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilot’s license.

In that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking I’ve done that.

During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and

techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly

endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the

ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those

people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I realized that each must have his or her own

dreams and ambitions. That’s what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside

us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.

Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like

standard advice, but I’ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn’t care less about how

much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my

dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally don’t involve aviation, I’ll always aim to fly

with the eagles.

26、请阅读下面短文，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Li Shuangying said her 18­year­old son， who just took this year's college entrance exam， would become a professional in the artificial intelligence (AI) field.

Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The requirement for AI talents is a solid foundation of maths and English， so for senior high graduates， they should have a higher mathematical thinking ability and have a good command of English if they want to become professionals in AI.

Li Shuangying said her son always has been one of the top students in his class at one of the leading high schools in Zhongshan， Guangdong province. Zhongshan， which neighbors Guangzhou， has been one of China's pioneering cities in embracing reform and opening up. It flourished(繁荣) on labor­intensive industries， but recent rising labor shortages and costs have become a real threat. In response， local manufacturers(制造商) have been quick to embrace automation(自动化)and adopt AI­assisted robots for survival.

The company Li works for， a medium­sized home appliance manufacturer with annual output of about 1 billion yuan($150 million)， is no exception. Li said she used to bring her son to her workplace from time to time， and he has developed a strong interest in AI， automation and robots.

“Our family all agree that AI is the trend， and it holds great potential for future development，” Li said. That view is shared by many college students and their parents， who consider AI a desirable major.
