Theme parks and amusement parks will be standing tall this season, not just in the sense of proudly displaying
their shiny, brand new rides. The most expected ride of 2020, however, will take you for a face-to-face encounter
with thrilling (惊险刺激的) adventure.
Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio.
Inverted (倒置的) feature train that hangs suspended (悬挂) from the track above and leaves passengers’ legs
hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. With a ride time of 2 minutes 40 seconds and a
track length of 4,124 feet, Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so much praise from ride
fans. That is really wonderful and exciting.
Despicable Me-Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an
interesting 4-D ride film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies, includes some surprisingly touching moments as
well.
Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois.
The creative company that is building this new coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly
smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree
drop and a top speed of 72 mph, which will make it the world’s tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
It’s both a mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and
forth and a forcing “dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work. The animated
characters are particularly striking in the attraction, which is the capstone of the park’s New Fantasyland expansion.
1. How do ride fans feel after riding Banshee?
A. Relieved. B. Disappointed. C. Excited. D. Anxious.2. What is Goliath made of?
A. Iron. B. Bamboo. C. Steel. D. Wood.
3. What can we know about the cradle design of: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train?
A. It brings their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film.
B. It allows the cars to swing back and forth.
C. It has an impressive track record.
D. It takes guests into the real mine.
B
Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum, Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school, ...” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be reading. But before I
could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
,
“There will be no high school ” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963. I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a
teacher. My family was very poor, and my three older siblings (兄弟姐妹) hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of
them had started work, and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I
turned 13, I started cutting threads (线) off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George, and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids, Darcy, Georgia, and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations, so we moved
to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years, and that scratched
my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire, I want to go to university,” I told George. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After
40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015, and I seized my chance. At the age of 66, I enrolled (登记) in a programme
with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway, which helped mature students
prepare for university.
Next, I enrolled in a BA majoring in English. Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I
was the oldest student there, but that didn’t put me off in the slightest. My biggest challenge wasn’t the coursework;
it was the technology. My grandchildren constantly sent me encouraging messages saying, “We’re so proud of you,
granny,” or asking how I was doing.
At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours, and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t
believe I’d done it. Wearing my black robe and hat, I marched into one of Johnny Farnham’s famous songs. I’ll never
forget that feeling, waiting in the wings backstage for the Dean to call my name. “This is a wonderful achievement,” he
told me as he handed me my degree. I couldn’t agree more.
4. Why couldn’t the author go to high school?A. Because her family was poor. B. Because her siblings prevented her.
C. Because she was not good at reading. D. Because she lost her uniforms.
5. What did the author enroll in at the University of the Sunshine Coast?
A. The Tertiary Preparation Pathway.
B. A programme helping young students for university.
C. A BA majoring in a foreign language.
D. A course about designing clothes.
6. What is the author’s grandchildren’s attitude towards her attending university?
A. Hesitant. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Worried.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. A good start is half the success.
B. We gain the skills to solve real-world problems through education.
C. It’s important to focus on one task at a time if you want to learn efficiently.
D. We should keep up with our dream and try to make it one day.
C
It was obvious with Pinocchio. Every time he told a lie his nose grew longer. But for the rest of us in real life,
the result of telling lies isn’t so evident. Is it possible that there are unseen consequences to dishonesty?
Since lies are carried by speech, and speech originates in the brain, is it possible that telling lies results in changes
in the brain that are not outwardly observable? Psychologists Julia Lee and Ashley Hardin wanted to find out.
Drs. Lee and Hardin set up a series of studies to explore the question of dishonesty, with 250 pairs of individuals.
In each pair, one was assigned (分派) the task of either lying or telling the truth. The other member of the pair was
instructed to evaluate the emotions of the lying or truth-telling partner. Each of the partners was then assigned the
task of evaluating the emotions of the other partner.
The research found that subjects who were asked to be dishonest were significantly worse at detecting the
emotional state of their partners than those who told the truth. Surprisingly, the small, seemingly unimportant moments
of dishonesty clouded an individual’s ability to read the emotions of another individual later on.
To determine how well the participants could read other people’s emotions, the researchers then had the subjects
watch a series of short video clips. In the clips, actors expressed a wide range of emotions in their facial expressions,
voices, and body languages. The participants were then asked to identify the emotional state of the actors. Once again,
across all the experimental studies, the researchers consistently found that those who were tempted to, and likely did
lie, ended up performing worse on the test of empathetic accuracy than those who didn’t lie.
We live in a world where businesses, social life, and personal relationships depend on the ability of individualsto interact well with other people. And to interact with them we often need to be able to determine their emotions. As
most of us learned in kindergarten: it’s important to tell the truth.
8. What is the aim of the studies?
A. To teach people how to detect lies. B. To test if lying causes brain changes.
C. To explain the Pinocchio Effect. D. To explore the motive for lying.
9. What does the underlined word “clouded” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Weakened. B. Monitored. C. Cleared. D. Improved.
10. What were the participants asked to do in the studies?
A. To rate others’ performances. B. To identify different emotions.
C. To make faces. D. To learn body languages.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The reasons for telling lies. B. The complexity of social interaction.
C. The necessity of being honest. D. The application of the study.
D
When hunters wiped out most fruit eating birds in the tropical forest of Lambir Hills National Park by the
1990s, the skies grew duller-and in a few years so did the forest. Without birds to spread their seeds, the diversity of
fruit-producing plants declined, illuminating the critical importance of seed dispersal (分散传播) for ecosystem
health. The movement of seeds across the landscape in animals` guts (肠道) is a “glue that keeps ecological
communities together,” says Jordi Bascompte, an ecologist at the University of Zurich.
However, a team states that at least one-third of European plant species could be in trouble because more than
one-third of seed-dispersing animal species are ranked as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature (IUCN) or are decreasing in numbers, which could harm the ability of plants to expand their range to cope
with climate change or recover after wildfire. For example, the garden warbler, a common migratory bird that
spreads the seeds of 60 plant species, is declining across Europe.
Although the study does not detail how the crisis is affecting ecosystems in that IUCN assessments haven’t yet
been conducted for 67% of the plant species, researchers did find that more than 60% of the plants had five or
fewer animals that eat and distribute their seeds, which could make them particularly sensitive to the decline or
disappearance of any of these critical seed dispersers.
And some plants do seem to be in big trouble. The authors came up with a list of nearly 80 “very high
concern” interactions, in which both the plant and the animal are threatened or declining. “We need to make sure
we’re looking after the dispersers that are doing a lot of the work,” Andy says, “Despite the massive data set, much
remains unknown about the extent of the problem. It’s a mystery which animals move the seeds of some rare plants,for instance - in spite of centuries of natural history observations in Europe.” Even for common, well-studied
species, it’s not always apparent which dispersers are most important and whether other species might take over if
they were to decline or disappear. There are some similar cases on other continents, too, including North America.
But the picture there is even less clear.
12. What can be inferred from Jordi Bascompte's words?
A. All seeds rely on animals’ guts to get dispersed.
B. The spread of seeds plays a vital role in ecosystem health.
C. Animals carry the seeds to keep ecological communities together.
D. The movement of animals is more important than that of seeds for ecological balance.
13. Which of the following techniques is NOT used to make the article more persuasive?
A. making comparisons B. listing numbers
C. giving examples D. citing views
14. Which opinion will Andy agree with?
A. What matters most is to find out all the dispersers.
B. European scientists have done a great job for centuries.
C. It is still unknown which dispersers certain plants are missing.
D. Dispersers need a large amount of work to be looked after well.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Some plants are facing the danger of dying out.
B. Seed disperser declines threaten Europe’s plants.
C. Dispersing animal species are ranked as threatened.
D. Ecosystem health relies on seed dispersers in many aspects.

47. 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 I first moved to the new community, I found it difficult to adapt. Everything was unfamiliar, and I felt
like an outsider in a place where everyone seemed to know each other.
One day, I returned from a morning walk with my dog. At the front door, I dug around in my pockets for the
keys, only to realize that I had lost them. As all of them are tied together including my car key, I decided to return to
the paths we’d taken. I spent an hour looking, brushing aside tall grasses, but the keys remained lost. I was beginning to
get upset as I thought of the consequences of losing them, so I continued to retrace (折返) our steps, but the result
was disappointing.
Back home again, I pulled the backup key from its hiding place, let myself in the house, and fell on the chair in
exhaustion (筋疲力尽). The house key wasn’t that important as I had an extra. I had a spare car key, but there wasoften something wrong with it, and the key would be expensive to replace. The iron heart made by my grandson was
precious beyond measure. Thinking of it being gone forever made tears come to my eyes.
That night, it turned colder and we had a snow. Suddenly I heard the noise of my car alarm from the garage
(车库). I rushed to the car, put the extra key into the door and finally opened it, and then I hurriedly tried my best to
stop the alarm. I felt red-faced as I imagined my next-door neighbours being disturbed and annoyed.
I went back in the house but the alarm started again. I turned it off, went back inside, and the alarm sounded
again. I repeated the process. Back in the house, I waited, but the next sound was the front doorbell. Thinking it was a
neighbour ready to complain at me, I opened the door cautiously (谨慎地). To my surprise, in the light snow stood
three neighbours from several streets away.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Are these your keys?” one of them asked me with a smile.
