The following are
2、three of them in 2019.Medicine Prize: PizzaIts one of the worlds most popular foods. According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease if your pizza is loaded with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (类黄酮) to fight against cer
3、tain diseases. So, if youre a pizza enthusiast, you now have one more reason to love it!Economics Prize: Dirty MoneyPaper money, the most frequently passed items on the planet, is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria. Which countrys currency is the dirtiest? An international team compared seven co
4、untries paper money. The Romanian Leu was the only one to carry all three types of bacteria tested. And the US Dollar was also a finalist. Perhaps this will make cashless payments more popular.Biology Prize: CockroachCockroaches (蟑螂) are well known for their survival abilities, but few folks know th
5、ey can sense magnetic fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (磁性) than live ones.

8、 Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence i
9、n the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diegos City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee c
10、ouple. While some might say Dekas success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order
11、to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could have an effect on ones life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didnt do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl f
12、or my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to change.”Dekas efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Pro
13、gramme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”When asked what advice she would give to oth
14、ers like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Dont tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or Ill never get into this school, “ she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”24. Fr

Dekas experiences drove her to work hard 25. Deka realized the importance of education .A. from her mothers experienceB. after her chemi
16、stry classC. by reading books in the libraryD. through working at the institute 26. According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be .A. patientB. confidentC. ambitiousD. generous 27. What does the story intend to tell us?A. Life is not all roses.B. Practice makes perfect.C. Well begun
17、 is half done.D. Hard work leads to success.CTodays world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence（毅力）, characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a uniqu
18、e position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.“There are r
19、elatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence - which can be taught - are key to a childs life success.”Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting sty
20、le. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an
21、 appropriate level of autonomy（自主权）.In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. Key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in
22、 school.This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.28. What is special about the BYU professors study?A. It centered
23、 on fathers role in parenting.B. It was based on a number of large families.C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D. It aimed to improve kids achievement in school.29. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them.C.
24、Control their behaviors. D. Explain the rules to them.30. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A. Single parents. B. Children aged from 11 to 14.C. Authoritarian fathers. D. Mothers in two-parent homes.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.
25、Three Characteristics of Authoritative FathersB. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in FutureC. Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD. Family Relationship Influences School PerformanceDThis season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least
26、 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, this is the most casualties（伤亡）from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate resea
27、rcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. “The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires.Australias fires were
28、 worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,” Hausfather added on Friday.Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean
29、temperatures also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for
30、example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia.He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.Climate experts
31、stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires. Practices like controlled burns and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of developmen
32、t in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched (派遣).32. What are the numbers about in paragraph 1? A. The causes of Australian fires. B. The consequences of Australian fires. C. T
33、he damaged areas of Australian fires. D. The property destruction of Australian fires. 33. Which of the following best explains “susceptible to” in the second paragraph?A. Very quickly to adapt to. B. Very seriously to focus on.C. Very likely to be influenced by. D. Very easily to be protected again
34、st.34. What can we infer from Trenberths research?A. Global warming is the root cause of the bushfires.B. Longer dry weather contributes to global warming. C. Warmer ocean temperatures promote fires spreading.D. The imbalanced energy leads to the temperature rising.35. What does the author intend to
35、 do in the last paragraph? A. To stress the effects of Australia fires. B. To show the methods for controlling burns. C. To predict the seriousness of Australia fires. D. To provide some advice about reducing damage. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。An interview is a
36、discussion with someone in which you try to get information from them. 36 There are three basic sub-types of interview: structured interviews, unstructured interviews and semi-structured interviews. 37 Incidentally, “respondent” and “informant” are words that are sometimes used instead of “interview
37、ee”.A great deal is provided by this personal contact: you are another human being, and interviewees will respond to you, in bodily presence, in an entirely different way from the way that they would have reacted to questionnaires that came through their letterboxes or to emails. 38 Most people want
38、 to help and give their opinions, and they will usually be energized to help by your physical presence.If you take the trouble to schedule a visit, you can be more or less guaranteed of a response. Most importantly, though, you will be able to relate to interviewees while you are talking to them. 39
39、 You will be able to watch their behaviour which will give you important clues about how they feel about a topic. Because of the primacy of the personal contact, your appearance and tone are importanthow do you want to be seen? As “one of us”? As a person in authority? As an observer? Or what ? 40 H
40、owever you decide to present yourself, it is good practice of course to try to put the interviewee at ease before the interview beginsto talk about the weather, about your journey, about anything that will break the ice.A. This is a ready-made support for you.B. Its nature varies with the nature of
41、the interviews.C. You will be able to hear and understand what they are saying.D. Your decision should influence the way that you look, sound and behave.E. The information may be facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination of these.F. Each involves the interviewer in fact-to-face contact or te
42、lephone contact with another person.G.You will be using these clues to make informed guesses about what the interviewees might really mean.第三部分: 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Ethan Katz enjoys playing with his dogs, MeFly and Brooklyn
