阅读下面四则材料,从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。
A
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about winter sports? Skiing( 滑雪 ) , of course. There is no doubt that down-hill skiing is the world's most popular winter sport although it's one of the most expensive as well. Few people, however, know that cross-country skiing is much easier and less expensive than down-hill skiing, and certainly also enjoyable.
Cross-country skiing has been around for much longer than down-hill skiing and it is probably the oldest winter sport. A long time before the snowmobile was invented, it was also the first means of transportation that people used to move across the snow. In fact, the oldest ski ever found, which was in Sweden, is more than 4,500 years old.
Cross-country skiing is not difficult at all. Even people who aren't professional can have fun from the beginning without having to spend a long time or lots of money taking lessons. That's why it's very common to see people of all ages enjoying cross-country skiing together. In fact, at the first Winter Olympics held in Chamonix in 1924, it was the only kind of skiing in the competition. Now for cross-country skiers, the most exciting event every year is the Engadine Marathon, where more than 10,000 men, women and children ski across the frozen( 冰冻的 )lake of St. Moritz in Switzerland. This makes more people from all over the world take part in the sport.
For cross-country skiers, what they value is the excitement of the sport. Popular holiday centers and luxurious hotels are not important. They stay in cheap houses and go skiing whenever they feel like it.
1. Why do people prefer down-hill skiing to cross-country skiing?
A. It is much cheaper than cross-country skiing.
B. They're too familiar with cross-county skiing.
C. It's the most popular winter sport in the world.
D. They can learn how to down-hill ski more easily.
2. How did Swedish people move across the snow over 4,500 years ago?
A. By down-hill skiing. B. By cross-country skiing.
C. By riding snowmobiles. D. By going on foot.
3. What can we know about cross-country skiing from the third paragraph?
A. It's as important as down-hill skiing.
B. It's becoming more and more popular.
C. It's more famous than down-hill skiing.
D. It's getting Switzerland more interesting.
4. What does the underlined word “luxurious” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Old. B. Modern. C. Expensive. D. Clean.
B
There are only 24 hours in a day, and usually about a third of that is spent sleeping. So is it possible to make use of this time and learn a new skill or even a language? In other words, is sleep learning possible?
Many studies have found that a basic form of learning, called conditioning, can happen during sleep. In a 2012 study published in the magazine Nature Neuroscience, for example, Israeli researchers found that people can learn to connect sounds with smells during sleep. The scientists played a tone(音调) to sleeping study participants(参与者) while putting some rotten(腐烂的) fish beside their beds. Once awake, when hearing the tone, the people held their breath in anticipation (预料) of a bad smell.
“This was a clear finding showing participants formed new memories during sleep,” said Andrillon, a scientist in this field.
Although the new memory was implicit(暗示性的), it could influence how people behave, researchers found in a 2014 study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. In that research, after spending a night in a room full of cigarette(香烟) smell mixed with rotten eggs or fish, smokers use fewer cigarettes.
Andrillon and his team members have found that learning in sleep can also go beyond simple conditioning. In their 2017 study published in Nature Communications, participants were able to pick out sound features that they had heard during sleep.
Learning abilities in sleep may spread to learning of words. In a study published in Current Biology, researchers played pairs of made-up words and their supposed meanings, like “guga” means elephant, to sleeping participants. After this, when awake, the participants did better in picking the right translation of made-up words in a multi-choice test.
So far, research suggests it may be possible to learn about the tone and pronunciation of a language or even the meaning of words while sleeping, although it is to a weaker level than what we do during the day without noticing.
1.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To show that sleep learning is possible.
B.To study how to make use of sleep learning.
C.To report some famous research findings.
D.To prove sleep learning is implicit and weak.
2.What does the phrase “new memories” in the third paragraph refer to(指的是)?
A.Connection between participants and scientists.
B.Connection between sounds and smells.
C.The tone’s influence on the rotten fish.
D.The rotten eggs’ influence on cigarettes.
3.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?
A.Sleep can do good to learning.
B.Language learning can happen in sleep.
C.People learn in sleep in a different language.
D.Sleep learning is better than daytime learning.

One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.
“Is it good?” I asked her.
“Yeah,” she answered. I leaned forward.
“Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:
She never puts her toys away,
Just leaves them scattered where they lay...
The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise,
I'll miss her harum-scarum noise,
And look in vain for scattered toys.
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sorrow (悲伤) washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” my mother said sadly.
To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s feeling when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was a horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible that I burst out crying.
“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.
“Oh, Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”
She smiled, “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”
“Okay,” I was still weeping (流泪). My scare had gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple that I could obviously understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated (着迷的) by the idea of poetry and words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems, but Patty Poem remains my poem. After all, Patty Poem gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.
1.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?
A.It was a thick enough book.
B.The book has a meaningful title.
C.Something on its cover caught her eye.
D.Her mother was reading it with interest.
2.After her mother read the poem to her, how did the writer feel at first?
A.Surprised. B.Crazy.
C.Curious. D.Sad.
3.The writer’s mother liked to read Patty Poem because .
A.it was composed by a famous poet
B.it was written in simple language
C.it reminded her of her own childhood
D.it gave her a hint (暗示) of what would happen
4.It can be concluded from the passage that Patty Poem leads the writer to .
A.realize her love for puzzles
B.discover the power of poetry
C.find her eagerness to grow up
D.experience great homesickness

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don’t know is that junk(垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets (火箭) or satellites (卫星), move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage (损害) the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere(大气层) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggest different ways to clean up space junk. In England, scientists are testing a special net (网) that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely dealt with.
“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
1.The underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.telescopes B.problems
C.pieces of space junk D.BBC news reports
2.The space junk is considered a problem because .
A.it burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere
B.it often stops the view of telescopes on Earth
C.it could force new space tools to travel at lower speeds
D.it may crash into other space tools, causing damage or death
3.What can we learn about junk in outer space?
A.Tiny pieces of junk at lower speeds do little harm to the earth.
B.Space junk may be a bigger problem if no action is taken.
C.Scientists from England and Germany have better ways to reduce space junk.
D.There’s no way of cleaning up space junk because more objects are sent into space.
4.We can infer from the passage that .
A.a safe space tool can stay in space for ever
B.rubbish as well as space junk used to be a big problem
C.scientists have no trouble solving the problem of space junk
D.more efforts require to be made to keep outer space safe and clean

Here at this café(咖啡馆), you may not be greeted with kind smiles or warm words. Instead, after you have ordered your cup of coffee, a bear paw will stick out of a hole in a gray wall. It will pass you your coffee and offer a soft, friendly pat(轻拍).
Unlike a common café, this coffee shop, known as Bear Paw Café, is only a small open window in a wall along a street in Shanghai. There are no seats or tables at this shop. Customers will need to place their orders from their phones. A staff member(员工) will then offer the coffee through the window while wearing a bear paw glove.
The café has been open since December 3 last year, which is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (国际残疾人日). Most of the staff at the café are disabled persons. Its manager has hearing problems. The staff member who hands out the coffee wears a bear paw glove because his hands are covered in burn scars(伤疤). What's more, any person with a disability can receive a free cup of coffee at the shop.
