17、hey are free of charge B As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales. I

18、n the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He

19、compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic. The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials pla

20、n to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time. Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reaso

21、n for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US. Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine.

22、He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe well all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.” 24. What causes the increase in bicycle sales? A. Shortage o

23、f public transportation. B. Outbreak of the coronavirus. C. Peoples desire to defeat disease. D. Peoples fear of natural disasters. 25. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy? A.

24、ome central roads. D. New bicycle paths have been built. 26. What can we know from Paragraph 4? A. Its impossible to buy a bike. B. Bike factories were closed in April. C.

25、increased sales of bicycles? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Critical. C The snow in Antarctica is turning green and scientists say climate change may be to blame. According to a study at the Cambridge University, microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly tu

26、rning Antarcticas winter white landscape green. Although microscopic, scientists say theyre able to see the “green snow” from space when the algae blooms all together. Researchers created a large-scale map of green snow algae along the Antarctic coast using a combination of satellite data and on-the

27、-ground observations over the course of two summers. The study found that the green snow algae bloomed in warmer areas where the average temperatures are just above 0 during the southern hemispheres (半球的) summer months from November to February. “As Antarctica warms, we predict the overall mass of s

28、now algae will increase,” said Dr Andrew Gray, lead author of the paper, and a researcher. Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands, where it can spread to higher ground as the snow melts. The team also discovered some sea birds and mammal

29、s influenced the distribution （分 布） of algae. Over 60% of algae blooms were found within three miles of a penguin settlement. Scientists hypothesize this may be due to their droppings, which act as a “highly nutritious fertilizer.” “This is a significant advance in our understanding of land-based li

30、fe on Antarctica, and how it might change in the coming years as the climate warms,” said Dr. Matt Davey in the University of Cambridges Department of Plant Sciences, who led the study. 28. What is turning the Antarctic snow green? A. The melting of snow. B. The blooming algae. C. The beautiful land

31、scape. D. The balanced temperature. 29. Where is microscopic algae most likely to bloom in Antarctica? A. North of the Antarctic. B. West of the South Pole. C. South of the Antarctic. D. Around the southern hemisphere. 30. What does the underlined word “hypothesize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.

32、Confirm. B. Support. C. Assume. D. Warn. 31. What can we learn from the text? A. Penguins feed on microscopic algae. B. Antarctic algae grow under the snow. C. Ground observation lasted for four months. D. Animal droppings contribute to the algae blooms. D Teenagers who travel around the world alone

33、 have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australi

34、ans” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people. The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers va

35、ry greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys nor

36、mally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters. But its also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watsons. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers bu

37、t this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by

38、 preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve g

39、reat things in cooperation with others. 32. What can we learn about Jessica Watson? A. She was criticized by the government. B. She eventually canceled her voyage. C. She has traveled around the world. D. She made a successful voyage. 33 What can be inferred about teenagers from the text? A. They ha

40、ve similar abilities. B. They make decisions on their own. C. They always make wrong judgments. D. They need supports of responsible adults. 34. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Psychologists. D. Adults. 35. What is the best title for the text

41、? A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens C. Various Ways to Become Independent D. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals 第二节（共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分满分 12.5 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。 Lets take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body i

42、s 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy.

When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energ

43、y and we need water to produce this energy. The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. 37 Thats around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria and becom

44、e ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea（腹泻） from dirty water. Thats around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water. 38 Therefore, they dont have time to learn how to read or write and dont get an education. 39 On this

45、day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 40 People give t

46、hem money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world. A. We use water indirectly too. B. Every system in our body depends on water to function. C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems. D. If children walk many hours
