He was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize on Monday.‎ Developing seeds has been the Groot family business for a long time. He is the sixth generation of, what is called, a seedsman. He began his search for better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in 1981. When he was 47, his family’s company had just been taken over by a larger corporation.‎ Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the moderate climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics (热带地区). He thought there was a great possibility of introducing hybrid (杂交的）vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate.‎ ‎“It was neither charity nor business. It was a passion for providing farmers all over the world with good seeds，” said Groot. Now 85, he said developing seeds has always concerned him, “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards.” He added that he “could not stand” that the farmers there did not have better seeds.‎ At the time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plants also could easily become infected with diseases.‎ Groot will recently receive the $250,000 World Food Prize during an award ceremony at the Iowa Capitol.‎ ‎4. What do we learn about Groot from Paragraph 2?‎ A. He has been developing seeds since 1981.‎ B. He carried on a business of several generations.‎ C. He has introduced seeds to countries worldwide.‎ D. He turned his family’s company into a larger one.‎ ‎5. What drove Groot to develop new vegetable seeds?‎ A. Doing charity. B. Making money C. Support from farmers. D. Sense of responsibility.‎ ‎6. What was the challenge for farmers in Southeast Asia?‎ A. Having no access to high-quality seeds.‎ B. Having no financial support for better seeds.‎ C. Lacking advanced technology for growing crops.‎ D. Failing to export their produce to western countries.‎ ‎7. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. World Food Prize Goes to Dutch Seed Developer B. Vegetable Seeds for Hot Areas Have Been Created C. Family Business Serves Farmers in Southeast Asia D. Business Has Been Passed from Generation to Generation C Navigation (导航）in unfamiliar places is a major problem in large cities. Therefore, the popularity of mobile GPS devices has risen significantly. However, it’s sometimes difficult for users to understand where to go. In addition, they have to regularly look at the screen to follow the route, which distracts them from what’s happening around them and increases risks on the road.‎ Luckily, preuniversity students from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI in Moscow have created sneakers that can give directions, count a person’s steps and estimate the calories burned. The smart sneakers can lead users to their destination. The idea is simple: When approaching a turn, the right or left shoe vibrates (震动) according to the directions.‎ ‎“We’ve developed a device that synchronizes (同步) with a special mobile app via Bluetooth and ‎ receives information about a route. The device performs all the necessary functions without interfering with walking and can be attached to the laces of ordinary sneakers. The user only needs to run the app once, and then put the phone away and enjoy the walk. In addition to navigation, the system can also track the distance traveled. This information can be found in the mobile app,” said Alexander Pinchuk and Maxim Levkin, the authors of the BiGiPiS project.‎ The team plans to continue developing the BiGiPiS project because the smart clothing market is growing every year. According to the creators, it’s likely that in a few years, smart sneakers will be comparable to smart watches in terms of popularity.‎ This is not the first original project of preuniversity students from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. Valentin Klimov, deputy director of the Institute of Cyber Intelligent Systems of MEPM, says, “Our preuniversity students have created rather original projects before. For example, last year, our students developed a multifunctional system for the visually impaired, and won an international children’s competition for engineering teams; then they won the Junior competition and took part in the largest international competition: Intel ISEF. Now these guys are our first-year students, and this indicates the high level of our applicants.”‎ ‎8. How does the newly developed device give directions to the users?‎ A. By calculating their walking steps.‎ B. By making vibrations to their shoes.‎ C. By sending signals to their mobile app.‎ D. By reminding them of the risks on the road.‎ ‎9. What can be inferred about the smart sneakers according to the text?‎ A. They surely have a promising fixture.‎ B. They are still at the experimental stage.‎ C. They are particularly liked by young people.‎ D. They turn out to be as popular as smart watches.‎ ‎10. What can we learn about the creators?‎ A. Some of them have -sight problems.‎ B. They have never failed in competitions.‎ C. They show high level of talent and potential.‎ D. Many of them will work abroad after graduation.‎ ‎11. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The disappearance of the GPS.‎ B. Ways of navigation in large cities.‎ C. The hard work of the preuniversity students.‎ D. A new device for navigation in strange places.‎ D A book is so much more than mere ink and paper. So insist French booksellers, who for nearly four decades successfully lobbied to keep the forces of the free market at bay. A law passed in 1981 bans the sale of any book at anything other than the price decided by its publisher. Authorities are cracking down on those trying to sell the latest Thomas Piketty or J.K. Rowling at a discount.‎ The fixed-price rule is meant to keep customers loyal to their local bookshop and out of the control of supermarkets and corporations. But the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers has promoted questions worthy of their own tomes (大部头著作). Can you fix the price of a book if it is part of an all-you-can-read subscription service? Are audio-books books at all? And what of authors who self-publish?‎ Changes have been made to preserve the principle of “one book, one price”. In 2011, the rule began to apply to digital tomes. Free delivery by online sellers was prohibited because it implied a subsidy (补贴) on the delivered books (encouraging online sellers to charge only €0.01 for postage). But a new challenge to the policy is proving more difficult to deal with.‎ Used books are exempted from the pricing rule. Third-party sellers on Amazon are accused of using this as a way to apply forbidden discounts: selling brand-new books as “second-hand” to make them cheaper. So fans can purchase a copy of the latest Michel Houellebecq novel Serotonine for if .11.71 pounds on Amazon, roughly half of its original price. Its seller claims it is in “perfectly new” condition.‎ Amazon claims its practices are legal. But books sellers are upset, and their political allies with them. “This is a major concern,” said Franck Riester, the culture minister, at a bookseller’s conference this week. He says new laws may be needed.‎ Defenders of the Fixed-price principle (which has spread to other parts of Europe) say it helps keep independent bookshops alive. Others are not so sure. Books are expensive in France — an odd way to encourage people to buy more.‎ ‎12. What was the function of the law passed in 1981?‎ A. To stop publishers from publishing poor books.‎ B. To prevent the random price of books in the market.‎ C. To help book consumers benefit from the free market.‎ D. To encourage French booksellers to sell cheaper books.‎ ‎13. What’s implied about the arrival of e-commerce and e-readers in Paragraph 2?‎ A. It greatly changed people’s reading habits.‎ B. It challenged the principle of “one book，one price”.‎ C. It weakened the ties between publishers and authors.‎ D. It provided local booksellers with some new opportunities.‎ ‎14. What does the underlined part “are exempted from” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. Are involved in. B. Are threatened by.‎ C. Are consistent with. D. Are unrestricted by.‎ ‎15. What is Franck Riester’s attitude towards those third-party sellers, practices on Amazon?‎ A. He-is hopeful of them. B. He is uncertain of them.‎ C. He disapproves of them. D. He is indifferent to them.‎ 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多备选项。‎ Every life-changing decision we make in our life shapes our current reality. Let’s talk about a few ways that you can use for reference when making your own life-changing decisions.‎ Realize the power of decision making. Before you start making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. 16 When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling.‎ Carry your decision out. It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your head. 17 If you want to make real changes in life, you have to apply action to your decision until it’s completed.‎ Tell others about your decisions. Telling other people what we’re going to do can make us follow through. For example, if you decide to become an early riser，you can go to a forum and tell people that you will wake up at 6 am and keep on it. 18‎ Learn from your past decisions. It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. 19 Ask yourself what is good or bad about your decision and what you will do ‎ to make a better decision next time.‎ ‎20 For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end.‎ A. Maintain a flexible approach.‎ B. Enjoy the process of making decisions.‎ C. That’s the same as not making a decision at all.‎ D. It always takes a lot of time to make a decision.‎ E. Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen.‎ F. So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it.‎ G. You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word.‎ 第二部分 语言知叙运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The falcon (猎鹰) is a kind of powerful bird. 21, after the birth of most small birds, they will 22 their mother for food for at least a month or two, but the falcon’s children are 23.‎ Just a few days after birth, the female falcon 24 food for the child, but she doesn’t put the food 25 in the child’s mouth.
