【題目】 For Miller, an 80-year-old man, it’s a chance of a lifetime. Miller is a part of a group of around 60 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.

About this journey, he says: “I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child. But now I finally have a chance to experience it.”

The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country’s western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them.

Nearly half of the 13,000-kilometre trip will be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. “We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only from German-speaking countries, have been joining us,” says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours.

Almost 26 million foreigners travelled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Miller says: “Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts me more.”

【題目】Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish Scales

Lucy Hughes, a 24-year-old English inventor, has used fish skin and scales(鱗）to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won 2019 James Dyson Award, which was created by the famous English inventor James Dyson to encourage students to try to use their creativity to solve problems in the real world.

Lucy Hughes studied how to design products at the University of Sussex in England. As a designer, she knew a lot about how wasteful many products are. Plastic bags, for example, are often used once for a short time and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead

The University of Sussex isn't far from the coast. Ms. Hughes spent some time studying the fishing business and the waste from fish that were thrown away. After some tests, she decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. She tried more than 100 different experiments before getting things just right. Ms. Hughes called her finished product "MarinaTex". It solves two problems: the single-use plastic and fish waste.

MarinaTex is clear and feels like plastic, but it's stronger than normal plastic that is of the same thickness. It is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down. On its own, it breaks down in four to six weeks.

For winning the contest, Ms. Hughes will earn f,30, 000. Her school will get f,5, 000. She is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible. She thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food packaging.

【1】What did Lucy Hughes create?

【2】How many experiments did Lucy Hughes try?

【3】What problems does MarinaTex solve?

【4】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

【5】How will Lucy Hughes possibly spend the award money?

【題目】 Farmers' Harvest (收獲) Festival in China started from 2018. It is the first festival for farmers. The festival falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year. And the Autumnal Equinox is usually between September 22nd and 24th, during the harvest season.

As we all know, China has the largest population all over the world. In the past, it was difficult to feed the people. After reform and opening (改革開放), with the development of modern agriculture (農(nóng)業(yè)), people's life is getting better and better. The festival shows that our government is paying more attention to agriculture and farmers' life. It will greatly encourage farmers. China has a long history of agriculture. The Farmers' Harvest Festival helps to show China's long farming culture to the world. It also improves the cultural self-confidence (文化自信心) and national pride (民族自豪感).

The festival is especially created for farmers, so they think of their own ways to celebrate it. During the festival, many different kinds of activities are held across the country, such as folk culture performances, food tasting and so on.

Some people think the festival is the happiest time of a year, even better than the Spring Festival, because food gives people a sense of safety and hope. For other people, the harvest festival is a time to look back at the past and look forward to the future.

【題目】 Texting(發(fā)信息) while driving is against the law in 47 states. But what about texting while walking? A 2018 study reported that more than 2, 500 people in the US ended up in hospitals resulting from using a mobile device(設(shè)備) while walking.

Hawaii passed a law making it illegal(違法的) to text or look down at a mobile device while crossing the street, it is the first state with a law like this. Do people think more places should accept such a law? The LA Times did a survey. Here are some replies they received.

Rena Jose, 26, New York

Which is more important, texting or safety? If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or traffic lights turn red. It can be very dangerous. For example, in Japan, one person fell into a lake and another got her leg stuck in a hole, because both had their mind on their phone. We should make texting while crossing the street illegal in more cities.

Andy Selvam, 55, California

People do many things that cause injury to themselves but are not illegal, such as climbing mountains, driving cars, swimming and so on. People might get hurt from texting and walking if they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.

Bob Madigan, 45, Oregon

As humans, we can make our own decisions. I'm not saying it's safe, but we don't need the government to babysit us. If we want to learn to make smart decisions, the government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country.

Andrew Black, 34, Alaska

This law is a good idea—compare this protection with seat belts. If this law is passed all over the USA, people will be worried. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be safe and good for all Americans.

【1】The LA Times did the survey most probably to ________.

A.win the hearts of more readers

B.encourage more states to pass the law

C.ask readers if they agree with texting while driving

D.learn about people's opinions on texting while walking

【2】In Rena's reply, she showed the danger of texting while walking by ________.

A.using numbersB.giving examplesC.asking questionsD.telling stories

【3】Which of the following is Andrew Black's opinion?

A.Texting is more important than safety.B.The law would help to keep Americans safe.

C.It's easy to please everyone when passing a law.D.Whether to text or not while walking is people's own choice.

【題目】Dog’s Best Friend

Jarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old dog.

“He was really thin, and had a broken leg,” Little told CBS News. The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. “We couldn’t leave him,” Little said. “Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to end up as alligator (短吻鱷) food.”

Little, a 31-year-old business owner, had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38-pound dog’s back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt. Then he placed the dog’s front legs over his shoulders.

“He was hurt, so he wasn’t trying to fight,” Little says. “He was also happy that we were there, touching him, and hadn’t taken off on him.”

Their 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. “That was when Andrea Shaw, a company worker, happened by. The dog went straight to her, smelling and “l(fā)oving on her,” says Dixon. Shaw was touched and, after learning what had happened, decided to keep the dog.

Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they’d met and planned an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six-year-old boy to keep him company. As Dixon said, “He is really the luckiest dog alive.”

【1】Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing?

A.She noticed something moving among the trees.

B.She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.

C.She met some other riding partners by chance.

D.She wanted to share some water with Little.

【2】What can we learn about the dog?

A.He is unfriendly to people.

B.He is kept happily on a farm.

C.He weighed about 31 pounds.

D.He ended up as alligator food.

【3】According to the passage, the dog’s best friend is .

A.the alligatorB.the humanC.the horseD.CBS News
