26、   2020 is a leap year, and as we all know leap years happen every four years, right? Wrong. That extra day in February is designed to keep the earth in sync (同步的) with the seasonal year. But, what you might not realize is that the maths isn’t that simple and occasionally we have to wait eight years.

The method behind calculating when leap years occur might be a bit more complicated than you think. Way back in 1582 the calendar we now use was first applied. The Gregorian calendar was named after the authority at the time, Gregory XIV. The people who created it realized it wasn’t perfect to just add an extra day every four years.

Here’s where the maths comes in. A day, of course, is measured by the amount of time it takes for the earth to complete one full cycle on its axis (轴). A year is the number of days it takes the earth to orbit the sun, which most people assume is 365. However, the earth actually takes just under 365 and a quarter days to complete one full revolve (旋转) around the sun.

So, every four years we get an extra day, which falls on the 29th February. However, as mentioned earlier, it is in fact just under a quarter of a day. So, by rounding it up (四舍五入), we put the calendar out of sync again—which means that after a while we have too many days.

That imbalance has to be dealt with again, otherwise after 400 years you’d end up with three extra days. So back in 1582, they realized that every turn of a century should skip their extra day to remove those three extra days. This is why the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 weren’t leap years. But wait, there’s more. The year 2000, the millennium, was a leap year. That’s because over a period of four hundred years we only need to remove three days. So, every 400 years the turn of the century is a leap year.

The next time you hear someone saying “leap years happen every four years”, you can tell them why they’re wrong.

【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A.Leap years happen every four years.

B.Gregory XIV created the Gregorian calendar.

C.Sometimes we have to wait eight years for a leap year.

D.It was perfect to add an extra day every four years.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A.The concept of the current calendar was not known by people before 1582.

B.A day is the time that the earth takes to complete one full circle.

C.A year is the time that the earth takes to obit the sun.

D.The earth takes 365 and a quarter days to orbit the sun.

【3】Which of the following is a leap year?

A.2100. B.2200. C.2300. D.2400.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The definition of a leap year.

B.The purpose of designing leap years.

C.The time when the leap year was first applied.

D.The reason why not all leap years are every 4 years.

27、Why do most of us live our life always caring what people might say or think? Some of the decisions we make are just to please the outside world around us. I have always lived life pleasing the ever over-demanding society. This had a great effect on my search for authenticity (真实性). I only felt good enough when people paid attention to me. So I would frequently do things to catch people’s eye instead of placing emphasis on what really matters to me.

A recent experience changed my view. I had been looking for a tailor to mend some of my clothes. With the help of a few friends, I found one, who just so happened to go to the same gym as me. As we chatted, he shared his story and his use of drugs for muscle development with me. In his words, he weighed over 240 pounds and was the envy of a lot of people. So many people wanted to be like him and have a body like his, which made him use more drugs.

But within two years something happened. He began to have problems with his liver. The doctor advised him to stop using drugs and give up lifting heavy weights for a while. This was a hard decision because he had got so used to the attention from people. He didn’t want to give that up; who would? Right? That was it. He made me understand how he lived his life for people. He lost sight of what was best for him.

He told me not to live life thinking about too much what people think, feel, or say. Instead, live life with meaning. His story really has an effect on me. I have to look at my life to see what I do. I am not saying we shouldn’t take the advice of others into consideration, but we must work hard for continuous self-awareness (自我认识). If we can know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, we can realize just how important that thing is to us.

【1】What does the underlined phrase“placing emphasis on”mean?

A．Looking forward to.

B．Paying attention to.

C．Getting familiar with.

D．Taking pride in.

【2】Why did the tailor use drugs?

A．To lose weight.

B．To keep healthy.

C．To treat his liver disease.

D．To improve his muscle and weight.

【3】Why was the tailor unwilling to accept the doctor’s suggestion?

A．He was afraid of losing others’admiration.

B．He didn’t have any trouble with his health.

C．He wanted to live a simple and easy life.

D．He wasn’t able to lose sight of himself.

【4】What lesson does the story tell us?

A．We should live life to the fullest.

B．Being open to others’advice is important.

C．We should have a good understanding of ourselves.

D．Nothing is more important than good health in our life.

28、   The second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks. It was blown away by a wolf, which quickly ate him up. His brother, by contrast, built a wolf-proof house from bricks. The fairy tale could have been written by a salesman for the construction industry, which strongly favours brick, concrete and steel. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.

In 2015 world leaders meeting in Paris agreed to move towards zero greenhouse-gas emissions（排放）in the second half of this century. That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller. Cement-making alone produces 6% of the world’s carbon emissions. Steel, half of which goes into buildings, accounts for another 8%. If you count all of the energy that goes into lighting, heating and cooling homes and offices, the world’s buildings start to look like a serious environmental problem.

Governments in the rich world are now trying to promote greener behavior by requiring developers to build new projects to “zero carbon” standards（标准）. From January 1st 2019 all new public buildings in the European Union must be built to “nearly zero-energy” standards. All other types of buildings will follow in January 2021. Governments in eight further countries are being advised to apply the similar standards.

These standards are less green than they seem. Wind turbines and solar panels on top of buildings look good but are much less productive than wind and solar farms. And the standards only count the emissions from running a building, not those let out when it was made. Those are thought to account for between 30% and 60% of the total over a structure’s lifetime.

【1】Why is the fairy tale mentioned at the beginning of the passage?

A.To inform builders of salesmen’s trick.

B.To remind readers of a childhood fairy tale.

C.To persuade the builders to copy the second pig.

D.To attract readers to a problem of the building industry.

【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A.To reduce pollution. B.To construct taller brick buildings.

C.To slow global warming. D.To reach zero greenhouse-gas emissions.

【3】What is the author’s attitude toward the “zero carbon” standards?

A.Confident. B.Supportive.

C.Doubtful D.Unconcerned.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Brick Houses to be Safer

B.Wood Buildings to be Greener

C.The “Zero Carbon” Standards

D.The Paris World Leader meeting

29、   Halloween is a holiday for all ages, but trick-or-treating is something traditionally done by kids. But, it’s a fun activity that anyone can experience. And at 91 years old, Mary “Baba” Spaeth was able to experience trick-or-treating for the very first time.

On October 28, Spaeth’s daughter Christine Spaeth Richardson noticed that her mom seemed to be sad on the day. Richardson knew how much her mother loves to see her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and knew Halloween was coming up, so she decided to use the opportunity to take her mom trick-or-treating, too.

The experience was new for Baba. She came to the United States in the 1940s from Croatia as a teenager, where trick-or-treating wasn’t a tradition. Her family participated in American holidays, such as Halloween, but the great-grandma never had the chance to go trick-or-treating herself until now. This time, she went around to friends’ and family’s houses for an early trick-or-treating period. It wasn’t a totally traditional trick-or-treating experience. Besides not taking place on October 31, Baba actually brought the treats. She gave out candy to the kids, and pizza and wine to the grown-ups. It took a couple of houses before Baba remembered to start off the conversation with “trick-or-treat.”

She had a blast! She got so many hugs and kisses and pictures, too! She just couldn’t stop talking about tricking all her great grand babies! All the hugs and kisses from all her grandkids and great grandbabies made her so warm and happy! Never underestimate the power of a hug, a smile, a kiss. Most of all, a big tight feeling from a family group hug now is a TREAT! She’ll talk about it for a long time.

【1】What was Christine’s purpose of taking Baba trick-or-treating?

A.To meet Christine’s wish of trick-or-treating.

B.To help Baba know the tradition.

C.To cheer her mother up.

D.To satisfy Baba’s grandchildren’s requirement.

【2】Why had Baba never played trick-or-treating?

A.Her motherland had no such a holiday.

B.She left the U. S. at an early age.

C.She hated the U. S. holidays like Halloween.

D.She spent her adulthood without Halloween.

【3】What can we know about Baba’s trick-or-treating?

A.It was just a joke to her families and friends.

B.It was not a real trick-or-treating in strict sense.

C.Baba completely obeyed the game rules of trick-or-treating.

D.Trick-or-treating was too boring for an old woman like Baba.

【4】What does the underlined word “blast” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Sweet risk. B.Tiring time.

C.Big shock. D.Happy experience.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

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.

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.

37、阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。

Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.

F【4】, tech companies are working to solve the problem. Apple, for example, offered a new way to unlock your iPhone and iPad with its l【5】 software update, iOS13.5, w【6】 was released on May 20.

Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.

It might only s【9】 you a few seconds, but those few seconds “benefit public health by eliminating the temptation for people to r【10】 their masks in order to unlock their device”.
