27、   Shelton Murray has been playing the didgeridoo(迪吉里杜管乐器) since he was five years old. Now 22, the musician will be travelling to the United States with the Australian Chamber Orchestra for the first time.

Mr. Murray comes from an Aboriginal (土著的) community and said his love of the didgeridoo had grown out of his culture. He was taught by his father Lazarus Murray from a young age, but said he was also inspired by his grandfather Peter Apaak Jupurrula Miller. 'My father learnt from David Blanasi. Then he taught me what he learnt from David,' he said.

As the youngest member of a Tiwi Islander band called B2M (Bathurst to Melville) in the Northern Territory, Mr. Murray played the didgeridoo for the opening act of the Tina Arena Darwin concert in 2014. Now his didgeridoo skills have caught the attention of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, where he was invited to perform in the show The Reef Revisited, which will be touring the US next week.

'It's exciting for me to be travelling over to America, ' he said. Mr. Murray said there were challenges for young Aboriginal artists to break into the industry but said it is all about having the right attitude.

Richard Tognetti, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, said the team was excited to have Mr. Murray join the 25 - person orchestra. 'He's bringing a really traditional approach. We respect the sound that he brings into the orchestra. We're used to the sound of a didgeridoo but playing it in LA, New York and Richmond Virginia will be interesting for the audience,' he said.

Another member of the orchestra, Aboriginal musician Steve Pigram, said he was proud of Mr. Murray's achievement at such a young age. 'He's coming through that thing of performing in a reggae (popular music in the West Indies) rock band, same as what I did. But he's got to this kind of level a little quicker. Well it's taken me 40 years, ' he said.

C.Its tour around the US will come soon. D.It's a band in the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

【3】What did Richard Tognetti think of Murray?

B.He would play a valuable part in the orchestra.

C.He would face lots of challenges in the US.

D.He needed to learn traditional approaches.

28、   It is reported that the United States Postal Service （USDP） has started tests with self﹣driving trucks to transport mail． The Postal Services is partnering with a California﹣based company， called TuSimple， on the project． The tests are being carried out over two weeks．

Two of TuSimple's self﹣driving trucks will transport mail between the southwestern cities of Phoenix， Arizona and Dallas， Texas． The trucks will make five round trips between the cities． Each one will cover a distance of about 3，300 kilometers．

The testing is aimed at seeing whether the self﹣driving technology can  reduce transportation times and costs and improve road safety． If successful， the Postal Service could use the trucks to move mail between major U．S． population centers forever．

TuSimple said a human "safety driver" will be sitting in the driver's seat at all times during the trips to intervene if necessary． An engineer will ride in the passenger seat as a watcher to take notes． The trucks will travel on major interstate roads that pass through Arizona， New Mexico and Texas．

TuSimple noted on its website the trucks are equipped with a camera system that sees about 1，000 meters down the road． It said this provides 35 seconds of reaction （反应） time， giving the system enough time to make the safest driving decisions．

One of the main goals of the technology is to remove the need for truck drivers． Transportation experts say now the United States is facing a shortage of truck drivers． This will result from an aging workforce（劳动力） and the difficulty of getting younger people to work as truck drivers．

Self﹣driving trucks built to transport things have some advantages over driverless cars．  They generally run on interstate roads that do not have the complex （复杂的） traffic systems found in cities． This will reduce mapping requirements for the trucks and lower safety risks including people walking on streets or riding bicycles．

【1】Which word can replace the underlined word "intervene" in Paragraph 4？　 　

A.push

B.escape

C.deliver

D.drive

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 5？　 　

A.The speed of the trucks is very fast．

B.The safety of trucks is very high．

C.TuSimple produces high﹣quality cameras．

D.Cameras are available on TuSimple's website．

【3】What's the aim of the self﹣driving technology？　 　

A.To ensure the safety of drivers．

B.To stop the young driving trucks．

C.To avoid the use of truck drivers．

D.To remover hard work for drivers．

【4】Why do self﹣driving trucks have advantages over driverless cars？　 　

A.It is cheaper to make them．

B.They improve road safety．

C.They cover a longer distance．

D.There are no passengers in them．

29、   To stop the spread of COVID﹣19， many countries are practicing social distancing （社交隔离）． This means people should stay at home as much as possible， as well as stay at least 2 meters away from other people when in public， according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention．

Social distancing also refers to other ways of preventing the spread of the virus． These include studying online instead of going to school and canceling （取消） public activities．

Many countries have set strict rules for social distancing． In Australia， for example， people who meet indoors must follow the "one person per four square meters" rule． This means that if a room has an area of 40 square meters， there should be no more than ten people in the room． In Singapore， people who don't keep a distance of 1 meter in public areas may need to pay a fine of up to ＄10，000 （50，000 yuan） or up to six months in prison．

There are also some more creative rules． In Panama， for example， men and women must leave their homes on different days， two hours at a time． In some Colombian towns， people can only go outside at certain times based on （基于） the last number of their national ID number． For example， people with an ID number ending in 0， 7 or 4 can leave the house on Monday， while those with an ID number ending 1，8 or 5 can go outside on Tuesday．

【1】In Australia， only people should be allowed in a 100﹣square﹣meter room．

A.4

B.10

C.20

D.25

【2】In Singapore， people will be punished with if they come within 1 meter of another person．

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.

"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.

"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

40、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When Dylan was just seven years old, he moved to the United States with his mother, Khadine, and his twin younger brothers. The family hoped that their new home would allow them to start over and find success. However, their dream didn’t work out exactly as they imagined it would.

Life as a single mother supporting three kids is incredibly difficult, but Khadine had a particularly difficult time after her twin sons had been diagnosed with serious heart conditions. As a result, the boys suffered from dangerous symptoms and required 24-hour care. As Khadine had to work three jobs to support her family financially, it became Dylan’s responsibility to look after his young brothers. To relieve Mom’s stress, Dylan also found a part-time job at a recreation center.

While Dylan never considered his family to be a burden to him, seeing his mother and brothers become vulnerable (脆弱的) made him determined to plan his future out correctly. He believed education was the only way out of their struggle, so he made a promise to his mother that he would be the first one in the family to go to college.

For that promise, Dylan made use of each and every minute to study while taking care of his brothers. He soon became an honor student at Henry High School and took several advanced classes to keep his grades up. The College of New Jersey was his top choice. He was determined to put that admission letter in his mother’s hands.

However, weeks before Dylan’s college entrance exam, both his family and his determination were tested again when Khadine fell ill and was unable to work for a while. Soon, the bills became unmanageable and the landlord evicted (驱逐) Dylan’s family after Khadine couldn’t pay the rent. The family had no choice but to live in the shelter. The place wasn’t an ideal place to study. It was often noisy and crowded, and the lights would go out at a certain time after 11 p.m.

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。

But Dylan continued to follow his dream.
