When she tried out for the gymnastics team, She put on a perfect performance. “See if you can do that!” She said proudly. The next Friday, the lis
13、t was posted announcing (宣布) who had made the team. Ellies name wasnt on it. “Its unfair. Im better than all the other girls!” she said. She went to see the coach.“You are quite talented, but your attitude (态度) is terrible,” the coach said.“I have the attitude of a winner,” Ellie shouted.“Making the
14、 gymnastics team isnt just about gymnastics,” the coach explained. “Its also about being on a team.”That night Ellie complained to her parents. Her mother was angry, but her father said that the coach had a point. They had a big argument. Ellie couldnt sleep. She kept thinking about what the coach h
15、ad said.Ellie could not stay away from the gym, so she practised alone. One day, after watching Ann fall off the parallel bars (双杠) again and again, Ellie ran to her and explained to Ann what she was doing wrong. Ann did as Ellie suggested and improved. Ellie did not notice the coach was looking at
16、her. Over the next few months, Ellie always helped the other girls. They did better and better and won many competitions. “We couldnt have done this without Ellies help,” the girls said.The following year, Ellie tried out for the gymnastics team again. This time, she was modest. When the girls prais

20、g ones, throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simpleif you keep the smaller ones, fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce（繁殖）, and the fish population will be in danger. But should we always keep the big ones?One scientist, Dr.David Conover, has spent the last 10 years studying the
21、 effects of the “keep the big ones” rule.To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, the scientist followed the “keep the big ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For the other two groups, he removed only th
22、e small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish randomly（随机地）.After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the biggest fish were regularly removed, the average （平均）fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. That is to say, if only small f
23、ish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish are likely to be small.For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the biggest ones” group for the
24、first five years had started to get bigger again, although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size. In other words, it takes less time to shrink（变小）than it does to recover.30Why do fishermen follow the “keep the big ones, throw the smalle
25、r ones back” rule?AIt helps to protect fish size.BThey are used to following it.CIt helps to protect fish numbers.DThey will be punished if they dont.31What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment?AIt made fish smaller on average.BIt made no difference to fish size.CIt made the
26、 fish bigger on average.DIt affected all fish groups similarly.32Which of the following is true according to the experiment?AThe whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years.BIt takes fish more time to turn to their normal size than it does to grow smaller.CThe fish in the six groups had the sam
27、e average size at the end of the experiment.DThe fish in the “keep the big ones” group grew to their normal size in the experiment.33Whats the authors intention in writing this article?ATo ask people to catch big fish.Bto describe a scientific experiment.CTo tell people the danger fish are facing.DT
28、o introduce the rules of fishing to readers.As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are changed to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription.Support
29、ers of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they wont have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from whe
30、rever they are. However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets（平板电脑）. First, digital books and resources bring less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs book reading found people read 20-30% slower on tablets, remember 20% less informat
31、ion, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print.Second, it is too narrow to think that the only service a library offers is lending books. Libraries have many benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some o
32、f these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to talk with their neighbors, holding classes on different kinds of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and keeping the community connected. A survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American
33、 adults felt that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered. The benefits tablets cant offer nearly as well or as easily.While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple
34、 solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the various issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community n
35、etwork that they could never be replaced by a simple object.34What does the underlined word “maintain” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AbuildBkeepCfindDvisit35What can we learn from Paragraph land 2?APeople can learn on line.BPeople can learn without teachers.CPublic libraries have disappeared.DPublic
36、libraries are too expensive.36According to the passage, the author probably agrees that_.Aits inefficient for readers to read on tabletsBthe only service libraries offer is book lendingCpublic libraries should be replaced with digital devicesDdigital books and resources encourage people to spend mor
37、e time reading37What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo persuade（说服）people to use libraries.BTo emphasize（强调）the benefits of libraries.CTo encourage communities to build more libraries.DTo compare digital books and resources with real books.Honoring those who built ChinaThe Peoples Republic of C
38、hina （PRC）celebrated its 70th founding anniversary in 2019. Over the past decades, many people had made great contributions to the countrys development, helping it grow through their hard work. On Sept 17, ahead of National Day on Oct 1, Chinese President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree （主席令
39、）to award national medals and honorary titles to the contributors, including both Chinese citizens and foreigners. Eight people received the Medal of the Republic, six foreigners received the Friendship Medals, and 28 people received the National Honorary Titles. Now lets learn about four recipients
40、 of the Medal of the Republic.Shen Jilan, a farmer, is a lifelong lawmaker. In 1954, she became a deputy to the National Peoples Congress. Since then, she has served at all 13 NPCs.

He was the chief designer of both the Baidu navigation（导航）system and Chinas lunar exploration project.Zhang Fuqing was a soldier in the Peoples Lib
42、eration Army during the Liberation War. He was twice awarded the title of Combat Hero. In 1955, he volunteered to work in a remote（偏远的）county in Hubei province and has been helping poor people there ever since.Tu Youyou, a scientist, is known for winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in
43、2015. She got inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine theories and discovered artemisinin, a medicine that can be used to treat malaria. Her finding has saved the lives of millions.38How many people received awards for their great contributions on Sept.17?A12.B28.C42.D70.39From the passage, we

45、 boat in the ocean. The sky is blue, the sun is out, and the water is clear. Suddenly, you notice something moving in the water, so you stand up to get a closer look. _41_ And its a fast swimmer. It jumps out of the water and then its gone. Youve Just seen an orca（虎鲸）!Orcas, also called killer whale
46、s, live in every ocean on Earth. _42_ Firstly, orcas are not really whales. Theyre in fact the largest member of the dolphin family. Secondly, they are usually harmless to humans. Orcas attitudes toward humans depend on human attitudes toward orcas.Orcas are quite playful. They live in groups called
47、 “pods”, with between 5 and 30 orcas, for their whole lives. _43_ The orcas friendly nature is very useful for finding food. Orcas hunt in their pods and then work together to kill.There are about 40 orcas in aquariums（水族馆）all over the world. _44_ The most famous orca, Keiko, who appeared in the film Free willy, was in an aquarium. Later scientists tried to help him go back to the wild. They
