It’s a familiar difficult problem but here they’ve come up with a novel solution.‎ From next year public transport will be free for everyone. The number of people taking the public transport is far from what is expected and so this idea has been brought up, which of course results in some argument.‎ This is what’s being built, a new tram system that will link trains in park-and-ride programs designed to make free public transport smooth and attractive. This is a big attempt by the Luxembourg government into whether people can be made to change the way they behave, because free public transport is great for existing commuters. But the question is whether drivers can be persuaded to change their cars and traffic jams for commuting on public transport.‎ The designer firmly believes the system is so good and effective. Everyone will want to use it. Everyone can use it, young or old, rich or poor, and everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave the car at home. But others consider it questionable.‎ Taxi drivers don’t seem worried about trams stealing their trade. Businessmen who come here are never going to take public transport. They’ll take a taxi because they have meetings to get to.‎ So Luxembourg’s plan is really a test, and it’s one that plenty of bigger nations will be watching. As we know, the way we move around shapes our cities, our lives, our work and our environment. Luxembourg is a very small country but this could be a very big idea.‎ ‎24. Why does Luxembourg City plan to make public transport free?‎ A. To reduce traffic jams. ‎ B. To attract more businessmen.‎ C. To encourage people to avoid rush hours. D. To help its citizens travel more comfortably.‎ ‎25. What can we infer about the result of the plan?‎ A. Taxi drivers’ business will be badly affected.‎ B. More people will choose to drive to and from work.‎ C. People’s daily behavior will be completely changed.‎ D. Taking public transport can save money for commuters.‎ ‎26. How does the designer feel about the system?‎ A. Hopeless. B. Concerned. C. Confident. D. Regretful.‎ ‎27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?‎ A. To list the traffic problems Luxembourg faces.‎ B. To show how Luxembourg controls its population.‎ C. To give people advice on how to get around Luxembourg.‎ D. To introduce Luxembourg’s new public transport measure.‎ C Though thousands of adventurers have climbed up Mount Everest, the highest and most famous of the world’s 14 tallest mountains, only 40 climbers have conquered them all. Nepalese mountaineer Purja became one of them after he reached the 8,028-meter peak of China’s Mt. Shishapangma on October 29, 2019. Purja made the extraordinary achievement in just six months and six days, much faster than late South Korean climber Kim Chang-ho’s 2013 record of 7 years, ten months, and six days.‎ ‎“I am incredibly excited and proud to have reached this final peak and achieved my goal of climbing the world’s 14 tallest mountains in record time,” Purja said. “It was extremely hard six months, and I hope to have proven that anything is possible with some determination, self-belief, and positivity.”‎ Purja’s “Project Possible” started becoming a reality on April 23, 2019, when he successfully peaked Nepal’s 8,091 meters tall Mt. Annapurna. The climber then rapidly completed the next five mountains, including Mt. Everest, within only four weeks! Five more peaks were conquered in July and the last three during September and October.‎ The adventurer, who was joined by teams of Nepalese climbers on each of his adventures, encountered many memorable and critical moments. On April 23, 2019, while going down Mt. Annapurna, Purja and his team heard about a Malaysian climber who had been separated from his group with no food, water, or oxygen for over 40 hours. They managed to find him and got him airlifted to a hospital. On May 15, 2019, Purja’s team similarly helped three trapped climbers on Mt. Kanchenjunga by giving them oxygen.‎ Purja said his primary purpose for undertaking this enormous task was to show the world that anyone can attain greatness if they put their minds to it. “By achieving this goal, I knew I could inspire people from all generations across the world,” he said.‎ ‎28. Which was the last of the world’s 14 tallest mountains Purja peaked?‎ A. Mt. Everest. B. Mt. Annapurna.‎ C. Mt. Kanchenjunga. D. Mt. Shishapangma.‎ ‎29. Which of the following best describes Purja?‎ A. Capable, worthy and honest. B. Brave, intelligent and traditional.‎ C. Determined, positive and caring. D. Creative, energetic and adventurous.‎ ‎30. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 4?‎ A. The number of climbers should be limited to ensure safety.‎ B. Purja and his team are willing to assist climbers in trouble.‎ C. It is impossible to rescue trapped climbers on high mountains.‎ D. Necessary preparations must be made before climbing mountains.‎ ‎31. What might be the best title of the text?‎ A. Mountaineering: A Challenging but Popular Sport B. Purja: A World-famous Nepalese Climbing Pioneer C. Kim Chang-ho Succeeded in Climbing up Mt. Everest Alone D. Nepalese Mountaineer Conquers World’s 14 Highest Peaks in Six Months D The negative health impacts of plastic on both wildlife and humans have been well documented. Recycling contributes to settling the problem. However, the material coming from the plastic recycled using the traditional technology is of lower quality and can only be used a few times for items like clothing or carpets before it has to be thrown away.‎ Now, French start-up Carbios wants to help alleviate the world’s plastic pollution with a bacterial enzyme (细菌酶) that “eats” PET—the most plentiful plastic used to produce packaging and plastic bottles. The enzyme is able to downgrade 90% of a ton of plastic in less than 10 hours. And the resulting material can be used to create anything and, more importantly, can be continuously recycled.‎ To break down the plastic, the waste is placed in a reactor with water and the enzyme and heated for 16 hours at 65℃. The resulting mix is then filtered (过滤) and purified (净化). This allows for the recovery of the building blocks that make up PET. These building blocks are then remade into new plastic and transformed into bottles and other items, without having to use more ‎ resources.‎ The recycling process will be tested in a larger range at a new, bigger facility in Lyon, France, by the end of 2021. Once all the problems have been removed, Carbios hopes to bring the technology on the market by 2024.‎ Though Carbios’s recycling technique will certainly help reduce plastic pollution, Stephan believes it is only part of the solution. We can only win the battle if we do a better job of ensuring that plastic waste does not end up in the environment or in landfills. So the next time you use a plastic bottle, be sure to make the extra effort to place it in a recycling bin.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Cut down. B. Reflect on.‎ C. Keep records of. D. Watch out for.‎ ‎33. What is the main characteristic of the material produced by enzyme?‎ A. It can resist bacteria. B. It can stand high temperatures.‎ C. It can be sustainably used. D. It is harmless to the environment.‎ ‎34. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?‎ A. The sources of the bacterial enzyme.‎ B. The process of producing plastic bottles.‎ C. How the bacterial enzyme breaks down PET.‎ D. How waste plastic is recycled with the bacterial enzyme.‎ ‎35. Which statement agrees with the text?‎ A. The new technology has been put to wide use.‎ B. Traditional plastic is easily storable and affordable.‎ C. The promising enzymes technology is in the experimental stage.‎ D. Bacterial enzymes will completely solve the problem of plastic pollution.‎ 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。‎ Laughter is the best medicine.

In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing (追逐) the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery.‎ One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock quite a distance from the beach. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped (滑) and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and slid off the rock into the sea, too.‎ ‎“Help! Help!” We cried. I could feel my body tingling (酸麻) as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn’t able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.‎ Luckily, two boys playing on the beach happened to see us. They quickly found a stick nearby and approached us cautiously, hand in hand. They tried to pull us ashore with the stick. But the stick was too short for us to reach. Worse still, the wind was getting so strong that the two boys were rocked from side to side, unable to stand steadily. Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 续写词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。‎ Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Fortunately, the two boys managed to find a lifeguard.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ ‎1-5 CCBBA 6-10 ABACB 11-15 ABCBA 16-20 BCACC 21-25CABAD 26-30CDDCB 31-35DACDC 36-40DFACB 41-45BCADC 46-50BDBCA 51-55BDACD 56.
