[2020·山西五地联考]The 67th Miss Universe Beauty Pageant (选美比赛) will take place on December 16 in Bangkok, Thailand. The competition will include young women from around the world representing their countries. But one South American country, Chile, will not be represented by a native Chilean. Instead, Andrea Diaz, a native of Venezuela (委内瑞拉) will have that honor.
Diaz grew up in Valencia, Venezuela. She began training as a model at age 12 at a school there. At 19, she won a pageant organized by her town's baseball team. As Diaz moved along her career path, she also moved away from home. She went first to Panama, and later to Mexico, for modeling jobs. In 2015, she settled in Chile, where most of her family members now live. The 27yearold woman told the reporter,“I represent the new Chile. This is an inclusive (包容广阔的) country where immigrants come in search of opportunities.”

A recent Miss Earth pageant had two Venezuelan models who competed for other countries, including Jessica Russo. Russo represented Peru just one year after moving to the country. She said,“My dream of being a beauty queen is not going to stop just because I arrived in a new country.” The 22yearold competitor did not make it into the Miss Earth finals. But she is not giving up. She says she hopes to one day win a competition for Peru, the country where her mother was born.

[2020·合肥市质量检测]Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy AyersElliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.
- 18 -
The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When AyersElliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn't have to look any further than her state's alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease.“The problem was already identified,” explains AyersElliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that. And many of the state's greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”
These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food.“When speaking of the key to my success, the coop model works because we share the work and rewards,” notes AyersElliott. “A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, Tshirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”
“It's a model that can easily be learned in other places and I'm looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that — to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,” AyersElliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.
8.What made AyersElliott set up Foot Print Farms?
A.The problems faced by local farmers.
B.Her further research into heart disease.
C.The failure of her career after graduation.
D.The health state of people in her hometown.
9.Why does the author take the football team as an example?
A.To advocate the concept of independence.
B.To stress the importance of teamwork.
C.To support the idea of coop model.
D.To explore the key to success.
10.What is AyersElliott's attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?
A.Optimistic. B.Skeptical.
- 18 -
C.Cautious. D.Ambiguous.
11.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Naturally grown food benefits people's health.
B.Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.
C.AyersElliott encourages people to experience the farm life.
D.Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.

[2020·邯郸一模]Britain faces social problems as lots of people are set to lose their jobs in technological revolution, Bank of England's chief economist warned.
Andy Haldane said the socalled Fourth Industrial Revolution will make the machine replace humans to do thinking things.The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy (会计) among those at risk.
A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain had been lost over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps through workplaces.
The majority of these are in jobs in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.
Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The first was the shift from agricultural to urban societies. The second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.
Mr. Haldane said the hollowingout (空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future, so it is important to learn the lessons of history and insure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.
“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, there was a hollowingout of the job market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living,” Haldane added, “That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.”
“That hollowingout is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills
- 18 -
of humans.” Mr. Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.
12.What is the dark side mentioned in the text?
A.The hollowingout has become a major social problem.
B.Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.
C.Intelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.
D.The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.
13.Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution?
A.The study about economy is at a low level.
B.Economists work on a traditional professional job.
C.There is no machine that can work as an economist.
D.Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.
14.What should be done to deal with the serious situation?
A.Call for people to devote more to studying history.
B.Teach people to grasp the chances technological revolution brings about.
C.Warn people not to work on transport and manufacturing industries.
D.Ask workers to develop and think as the intelligent computers and robots do.
15.What attitude did Haldane have toward the future employment?
A.Positive. B.Aggressive.
C.Critical. D.Worried.

[2020·兰州实战模拟]Every family goes through its ups and downs. Most often, the root cause of this situation is the lack of communication. __1__.
Lack of patience can be one of the biggest factors. If people are not patient with their parents or children or other members, the levels of closeness will be weakened. And it can be quite difficult for a badtempered child, or even a badtempered parent to deal with the problems.
Lack of time for family members is always a reason leading to the problems. __2__. In order to survive, everyone must focus all their attention on the work, so they do not have enough time to have a good talk with others.
Lack of discipline is the worst problem in terms of children. __3__. It is known
- 18 -
that most parents want to control the children, even their children get older, which can lead to a constantly disharmonious atmosphere within the family.
If the solutions to the problems are OK, all these problems can be easily solved. If lack of patience is one of the problems, obviously the solution is to develop the virtue of patience. You'd better hear out what the children have to say on a certain matter, or even consult them about their significant ideas. __4__.
It would be natural to see childish behavior of the younger members of a family but it is up to the elders to control the atmosphere and keep it calm. __5__.
The above are some of the most common problems that most families face. It is important to maintain the best relations with your family, because family is the strongest support system for you.
A.Everyone has a say in each family meeting
B.By doing this, you can avoid a coming quarrel
C.A badly behaved child can ruin the peace of a family
D.The elders should talk things out instead of keeping silent
E.Don't discuss the family problems when you're still feeling upset

7.Besides 考查介词。根据语境可知,申请者除了要能通过体能测试外,最好还有良好的性格,故填Besides。
8.important 考查形容词。根据语境可知,领导力和团队协作意识也很重要,此处应用importance的形容词形式作表语,故填important。
9.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Communication,指物,关系代词在从句中作主语,故填which。
10.have been chosen 考查动词的时态和语态。since引导时间状语从句,主句常用现在完成时;且主句的主语“only 338 others”和choose之间是被动关系,所以此处应用现在完成时的被动语态,故填have been chosen。

第二节 书面表达
【参考范文】
Dear Peter,
How is everything going? In your last letter, you asked me about our study trip during the winter holidays. I want to tell you that it is an interesting and unforgettable experience.
We went to Nanjing for the purpose of knowing about the history and culture of the city because it was once the capital of six dynasties in Chinese history. We visited many historical sights and worked together in groups to finish our tasks that our teachers assigned. The tenday journey enriched my life experience, broadened my horizon and most importantly, helped me learn how to cooperate with others and make plans reasonably.
I had a good time. It is really a good way of developing our creative thinking and combining the theory with practice.
Yours,
Li Hua
