Now most people have about four weeks of h
18、oliday time every year plus public (公共的) holidays (also called “bank holidays”).When?Most British workers take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. Taking a second holiday break in winter or spring is also becoming more
19、popular in the UK.Where?The most popular holiday destinations for Brits include Spain, France, Greece and the US. Lots of people buy a package holiday that includes flights and a hotel or an apartment (公寓). Cheap overseas flights mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year vacat
20、ioning abroad. Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school terms and the British government is worried that some young people are skipping school (逃课) to go on holiday. Parents who take their child on vacation during term time must now pay a fine (罚款).British people also like to go o
21、n holiday in the UK. They might go to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, In Cornwall (康沃尔), for example, there is an environmental project called the Eden Project. You can see plants from all over the world there.Independent (独立的) holidaysSome teenagers want to spend their holidays doing
22、something without their family. A language exchange (交换) is one way to become more independent and improve ones language skills.

26、in many countries, quickly finding people who have the virus is very important. But COVID-19 is not easy to detect. Many people who catch the virus clearly show signs of being ill, like having a fever or coughing. But many others show no signs at all. These people are “asymptomatic” and they can sti
27、ll pass the virus to others. Now, scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a famous American college, have developed a method which can quickly detect whether a person has COVID-19 or not just from the way he or she coughs or speaks. The scientists turned to an AI method known as “deep
28、 learning”. In deep learning, computer programs collected a lot of information, analyzed（分析）it and built certain models. The information here was tens of thousands of recordings of coughing and speaking from people who had caught the virus. When the scientists tested their AI models, they found that
29、 they could detect 98.5% of the people who caught the virus, including 100% of the asymptomatic people.Brian Subirana, one of the scientists, says, “We think this shows that the way one person produces sound changes when he or she has COVID-19, even if he or she is asymptomatic.” The scientists now
30、want to turn their models into an app that can run on mobile phones. If they are able to do that, it could allow people to quickly and easily check whether they have caught the virus.36. From the passage, who are asymptomatic people?A. Those who do not cough at all although they catch the virusB. Th
31、ose who have a high fever when they catch the virus.C. Those who catch the virus but dont show any signs of being illD. Those who catch the virus but wont pass it to any other one.37. How does the new method work?A. By analyzing a persons voice.B. By taking a persons temperature.C. By taking a perso
32、n to the hospital.D. By asking a person some questions.38. What does the underlined word “they” refer to?A. the virusesB. the scientistsC. the AI modelsD. the asymptomatic people39. Where will the AI models be used according to Brian?A. Everywhere.B. On computers.C. In hospitals.D. On mobile phones.
33、40. What can you read from the passage?A. An AI method can help detect the COVID-19 patients accurately.B. An AI method can help find where the COVID came from.C. COVID-19 is too easy to detect with the help of an AI robot.D. COVID-19 cant be detected even with the help of an AI robot.CPeople often
34、think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go
35、above 32F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30F. Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to
36、get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden stor
37、ms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may oft
38、en cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.41 This passage is probably from _.A. a book reviewB. a science bookC. a school reportD. a computer magazi

A difficult trip to the North Pole.C The real situation in the North Pole.D. The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.DFormer truck driver Chen Xianjun played
42、a final chord(和弦) on the guitar as he and his band-matesa salesperson, a farmer, and two doctorsenjoy themselves in the music. Behind them was the photo of a foreigner wearing a warm smile and hugging his guitar. It was 27-years-old Philip Hancock, an Australian teaching English in Chongqing.Hancock
43、 died in May 2018 in Chongqing because of diabetes. His parents obeyed his wish to donate his organs. Hancocks liver and kidneys save the lives of three people in the band.

44、nd in memory of Hancock. They said Hancock loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day,” Chen said, “Im more than fortunate to be able to do this.”Over the past year, the five “musicians” have learned different instruments in the studio.The Band for One, a fitting name for the group, fina
45、lly came to Hangzhou on Nov.7 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the implementation(实施) of voluntary organ donations in China.“I was nervous before stepping on the stage, but I think we did a great job, Chen said. ” All of us now have the ability to carry on with our lives, and I believe thats exa
