一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共37.5分) A
London,with countless famous sites and all manner of food,drink,shopping,history,and culture,is definitely a wonderful city to visit. Time Zone
Greenwich Mean Time during the winter,British Summer Time during the rest of the year (starting at Daylight Saving Time). Best Time to Go
The best time to visit London overall is in spring,when the temperatures have warmed up,the sun has started to shine and London's gardens and parks are looking their best.However,the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you're looking for.If you're all about taking a look inside Queen Liz's palace,you'd better make it in summer,while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer. Things to Know
Londoners,and English people in general,have a much more different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger passing on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation.Londoners might consider it impolite or
strange.Don't mistake this for unfriendliness;it's just a cultural difference.Instead,talk about things like movies,TV shows,books,your travels,and the like,instead of work or family. How to Get Around
Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and
extensive Underground.The underground,unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip,are paid in zones.Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay.It's worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.
1. What is the best season to visit Queen Liz's palace? ______ A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
2. Which is a suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners? ______ A. A football match. B. A work plan. C. A family issue. D. A company rule. 3. What is this text? ______ A. A survey. B. A travel diary.
C. A research paper. D. A guidebook. B
In a working site near Paris,several people are busy cleaning a canvas (画布),trying to correct the pains of time:The repairing of 22 paintings of Notre-Dame (巴黎圣母院),which were damaged by a fire in April 2019,is \"a race against time\". The project of repairing these works,which must be returned to the building for its
reopening in 2024,is a unique one compared to others.
\"Two years may seem like a long time?but that's the time it takes to do the job of simply one canvas like The Triumph of Job,which is behind us,\" one expert Laurence said,pointing out the huge work several meters high by the Italian artist Guido Reni,which was hung behind her back.
\"You do not touch a canvas without knowing its medical history\",underlines Lavit,heritage curator (馆长) at the Center of research and repair of the Museums of France.
Once this history is known,the paintings move on to cleaning.The protector-repairer Pasquali stresses that it is a team effort.
Opposite her is Hulot,an expert in repair.One object of his attention is The
Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew by French artist Lubin Baugin.His job is to make sure that the canvases do not break.
Meanwhile,another team takes care of the frames (边框). \"The heat of the fire dried and weakened the wood,\" comments Galopin.
Once all these steps have been completed,the paintings are stored in a special room.It takes between 8 and 10 people to move them safely.They will remain there until the reopening of the church.
4. What do we know about the repair work? ______ A. Its focus is on cleaning a canvas. B. It is considered as the pains of time. C. It is different from all other projects. D. Its working site is in the city of Paris.
5. Why does the writer say the repair work is \"a race against time\"? ______ A. The paintings were badly damaged in the 2019 fire. B. Workers need to spend two years studying one canvas. C. The huge work of an Italian artist should be returned soon. D. The project is to be completed by the reopening of the church. 6. How many paintings are mentioned in the text? ______ A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
7. Which section of a newspaper is the text most probably taken from? ______ A. Travel and Experience. B. Art and Culture.
C. Science and Technology. D. History and Legend. C
Humans use words to talk to each other.But we also point,nod,and use our hands to show what we mean.We've been doing this for tens of thousands of years.
Apes (猿) have their own system of gestures to show what they mean.They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean.For example,a gesture the researchers call \"big loud scratch\" means \"help pick insects off of me\".
Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos (two kinds of apes) for years.Though the two groups of apes use different signs in a few cases,they share over 90% of the same gestures.
The researchers created a game for people to play online.The game was
simple.People watched short videos of apes making a gesture.Then they had to
choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers.For the videos,the researchers chose 10 of the most common gestures used by chimpanzees and bonobos.Thousands of people played the game.
The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time.That's twice as good as people would be expected to do by chance.For some of the gestures,people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time.One example of this was the gesture of wiping the mouth,which people correctly guessed meant \"give me that food\". The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the
gestures of apes.But it's not clear why.Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago.One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor.The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of
apes.They're also curious about how humans understand other animals,like dogs. 8. What does the underlined word \"gestures\" in paragraph 2 mean? ______ A. Defence. B. Thoughts. C. Knowledge. D. Movements. 9. What were people asked to do in this study? ______ A. Answer questions about apes. B. Watch videos and choose answers. C. Teach apes to make body movements. D. Communicate with two kinds of apes.
10. What will scientists do in the future according to the last paragraph? ______ A. Study how humans understand animals. B. Find out effective ways to protect apes. C. Help people to better understand animals.
D. Figure out what humans and apes have in common. 11. What can be the best title of this text? ______ A. Humans and Apes Share an Ancestor B. Apes Have Well-developed Language C. Humans Can Understand Apes' Signals
D. Apes Can Communicate Freely With Humans D
Migraine is a disease that has a number of symptoms (症状),including head pain that can stick around from four hours to several days.While migraines can happen partly because of genetic (基因的) problems,attacks may happen by chance,set off by a cause in the environment. One common cause is food,and some common dietary causes include alcohol,salt,sugar,chocolate,and caffeine.But there are many others,and scientists continue to identify more.Last year,for example,a Brazilian study found that watermelons brought on a headache within minutes in about 30 percent of the participants.
Some new researches are looking at which foods and what kinds of diets can prevent or lessen migraines.A new study published last year by a team of researchers found that a diet higher in fish oils rather than vegetable oils helped people ease their headaches.In the study,those on a diet lower in vegetable oil and higher in fatty fish
had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in total headache hours per day,serious headache hours per day,and overall headache days per month compared to the control group. Tanya Kamka had suffered weekly migraines for most of her life.Then,in her 50s,she joined the NIH diet experiment and increased her intake of fish.After only a few months, \"I haven't had a migraine,not even a mild one,in over two years.\" she says. For others,the solution comes from plants,not fish.A 60-year-old man joined a study on the food-migraine link and turned to a diet,which includes a lot of dark,leafy greens.After two months he was experiencing only one migraine a month instead of the 18 to 24 a month he'd suffered before.
Clearly,people with migraines react to food in very different ways.What works for one person may not work for another.
12. What do we know about migraine from paragraph 1? ______ A. It is related to sleep time. B. It never runs in the family. C. It lasts for at least three hours.
D. It can be caused by the environment.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? ______ A. The length of migraine. B. Foods that lead to migraine.
C. The most common cause of migraine. D. A Brazilian study about migraine.
14. What can lessen migraines according to a new study published last year? ______
A. Fish oils. B. Vegetable oils.
C. All kinds of fat. D. Various Vegetables.
15. Which is the author's opinion about the effect of food on migraines? ______ A. It varies from person to person. B. It can only stay for a short time. C. It depends on the age of a patient.
D. It is connected to how much one takes.

That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she
came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, \"Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.\"
Keith looked at the handphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a handphone. But his parents had told him, \"You don't need one. You can always use the house phone.\"
He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, \"I want to take the handphone.\"
Mary could not believe her ears. She merely stared at her brother. \"You can't! What if the owner comes to look for it \"
Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary's hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily.
But Mary told him, \"Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell Father about this He will ask you how you got the handphone.\" Keith said quickly, \"I will say a friend lent it to me.\"
Mary said, \"Now you are lying too.\" Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone. \"This is the girl's phone number. Why don't we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.\" She was trying to talk some sense into him. 注意:

The next morning, after а long and restless night, he was determined to return the handphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, \"I am going to phone the owner.\"
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner's house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, \"Are you the owner of the
handphone I'm Keith. I have your handphone. Can you come and get it \" The girl replied \"Yes\" excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly.
