10、levision show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.” During that visit to California, Angle Allred, Sams mother, had an idea about Sam writing a childrens book.

11、ther, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sams experience of living with a chronic(慢性的) illness. “I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says. Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfor
12、table, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital. “A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam. Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute

18、 wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non- profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is availabl
19、e, especially African communities, who live near the animals habitats. Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Ver
20、meulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, “One thing however that might seem unimportant is t
21、hat they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant.” Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials con
22、ducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins. Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call
23、for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures. Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time. 28.

26、 A diary. C. A novel. D. A magazine. D Wind farms have been considered as the way to fight global warming, but a new study suggests they could actually heat the planet up. The study found that the US would get warmer if the number of turbines(涡轮机) were increased markedly. Researchers say theyll requ
27、ire much more land than previously thought, needing five to 20 times more space than earlier studies have suggested. And winds created by vast fields of turbines could mix warm and cool air, which makes the surface quite warm. Despite the potential drawbacks, however, the researchers argue wind ener
28、gy still makes more sense for the environment than fossil fuels. Study coauthor and Harvard University scientist Professor David Keith argued that, when it comes to energy production, there is no free lunch. “Wind beats coal by any environmental measure, but that doesnt mean that its effects can be
29、ignored. We must use fewer fossil fuels to stop carbon production. In doing so, we must make choices between various low- carbon technologies, all of which have some environmental effects,” he said. More than ten previous studies have now observed local warming caused by US wind farms. Researchers s
30、uggested that solar power offers a less damaging energy source in the fight against climate change. In terms of temperature difference per unit of energy generation, solar power has about 10 times less effect than wind, and the solar power energy is mature in a wide range of fields. But there are ot
31、her considerations. For example, solar farms are dense(密集的), while the land between wind turbines can be co- used for agriculture. Tidal power is an environmentally- friendly energy source. In addition to being a renewable energy, it does not give off any climate gases and does not take up a lot of
32、space. However, there are currently very few examples from real tidal power plants and their effects on the environment. Also, it is important to realize that the methods for generating electricity from tidal energy are relatively new technologies. It is projected that tidal power will be commercial
33、ly profitable within2030 with better technology and larger scales. 32. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a study finding. B. To discuss the global warming problem. C. To prove the benefits of wind farms. D. To call attention to environmental protection. 33. What is paragraph 2 mainly
34、about? A. The effects of global warming. B. The reason for using wind energy. C. The disadvantages of wind farms. D. The working principle of wind farms. 34. What do Professor David Keiths words suggest? A. Producing energy is easier than before. B. Consuming energy damages the environment. C. Burni
35、ng coal should be totally stopped. D. Developing low- carbon technologies is hard. 35. Which is recommended considering the environment and practical use? A. Wind energy. B. Fossil fuel. C. Tidal power. D. Solar energy. 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。 Will you s

If you take a look around your kitchen or office right now, chances are that youll notice youre surrounded by plasticwater bottles, to- go coffee cups, straws(吸管), plastic grocery bags, food wrappers, take- out containers, single- serve coffee pods and produce bags. 36 Its certain
37、ly not realistic to remove all plastic from your life, but lets examine some statistics that may encourage you to reduce your single- use plastic footprint by throwing away straws, switching to reusable water bottles, bringing cloth bags to the grocery store and more. According to a study published
38、in the journal Science Advances, the popularity of plastic, which began rising in the 1950s, is growing out of control. 37 And theres no sign of slowing down, considering scientists say that another 12 trillion kilograms will be produced worldwide by 2050. “Every piece of plastic that has ever been
39、created will remain in the environment in some form, but once we conveniently throw out our rubbish at home, wind and runoff carry our waste from landfills and streets to the ocean,” says Mystic Aquariums chief clinical veterinarian Jennifer Flower, DVM, MS. “Given that we are globally producing ove
40、r 320 million tons of plastic annually, the marine environment is taking a big hit from our daily disposal of plastic. 38 For example, newborn fish are mistaking tiny bits of plastic waste for food. If they die, there will be fewer big fishand that could damage the food chain. Often our society is s
41、o focused on making our lives more convenient in the short term, but in the long run, our health and the health of marine life are at the expense of those everyday conveniences.” 39 A recent report suggests that when heated, certain food additives(添加剂) can damage hormones, growth and development, as
42、 well as increase chances for children of being fat. 40 It is found in plastic containers and metal cans. Parents are urged to avoid using microwaves to warm food and drinks or placing plastics in the dishwasher. A. Our plastic consumption is directly affecting the life in the ocean. B. People are c
43、oncerned about the results of overusing plastic containers. C. 8.2 trillion kilograms of plastic have been produced around the world. D. Using plastic containers in microwaves is also harmful to childrens health. E. Lets stop using plastic for the benefit of the environment and human beings. F. Thes
44、e are all examples of single- use plastic products, which is a hot topic nowadays. G. The most concerning artificial additive BPA is a chemical used in the production of plastics. 第三部分第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出可以填入空白
