It was just after 5 pm. I was holding a cup of tea at Sainsbury’s, the second largest chain of supermarkets in the U. K. We were around a dozen customers in the supermarket’s cafe, and most of us were on our own. Despite placing the special sign “Reserved for customers in the mood for a chat” in an obvious position, I got no takers.
Government announcers tell us that Britons of all ages are suffering loneliness. About 200, 000 senior citizens have not spoken to a friend or relative for over a month. Family doctors suspect that some of their patients are making appointments because they are lonely. The receptionists also agree that the front desk is a magnet for the isolated to come and experience a bit of human contact. And the young, even with their busy lives on social media, are also affected. New research from Sainsbury’s Living Well Index reveals that almost two thirds of the people aged between 18 and 24 have admitted to sometimes feeling lonely.
To ease the problem of loneliness, Sainsbury’s has launched “Talking Tables,” which are reserved spaces where people can have a chat. They appear in a variety of formats. A sign-posted table located in cafés in-store is one of them. The concept has been developed in close association with Chatty Café. Alexandra Hoskyn was inspired to start a network of Chatty Cafés in the U. K. in 2017 after finding herself socially isolated as a new mother at home with young children.
“We know from our Living Well Index that community connections are a key driver of helping people live well,” says Judith Batchelar, director of Sainsbury’s brand. “We hope that by bringing people together at our ‘Talking Tables,’ we can develop the potential of our store space to help people be better connected to the communities they live and work in.”
A European friend suggested that all this unsolicited(自发的) friendliness may not seem very British. However, a staff member at the Sainsbury’s sounded more positive: “It’s early days, and you cannot change people’s habits overnight.”
24．Who might come to “Talking Table”
A．Only the lonely old people.
B．People having communication problems.
C．Teenagers active in social media.
D．Anyone eager to chat.
25．What can we infer from the text
A．“Talking Table” is a pioneer in the UK.
B．“Talking Table” was inspired by some new mothers.
C．Friendliness can change British habits directly.
D．“Talking Table” can produce a sense of belonging.
26．What is the important element for people’s well-being according to Judith Batchelar
A．Personal ambition. B．Physical and mental health.
C．Communication in the community. D．Relations with family.
27．What is the passage mainly about
A．The largest supermarket chain in the UK Sainsbury’s.
B．The supermarket’s cafes helping ease loneliness.
C．The latest study on loneliness of senior citizens.
D．The approaches to getting rid of loneliness.
C
Something was wrong. Something was wonderfully wrong. I knew in my mind that my old dog, Snoopy and my daughter’s Saint Bernard mix, Lemmy passed away last year. Yet, they both were playing and running in my back yard. They seemed younger too. Snoopy had been ill for the last years of her life and Lemmy had lost one of his legs in a car accident before he died. But here they were playing and running like other healthy dogs. It felt so good watching them. My spirit felt so alive. My heart felt so full and I was laughing with joy.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!” My alarm clock went off and I opened my eyes. It was a dream but like an actual happening. My eyes filled with tears while my face was still smiling. As I woke up, a thought came to my mind: “All is well!” I reached down and felt my rescue (搜救) dog, Sweetie. I got up, got dressed and took her out for morning walk just in time to greet (迎接) the sunrise. As I watched those beautiful colors paint the sky, the thought remained with me: “All is well!”
Yes, this world can be in disorder at times. It has wars, hunger, climate change, illness, and even death. But this is also a world shared by all. We should learn to live in peace, and love each other on the planet. Some of our best teachers are four-legged friends.
Don’t let life’s pains and problems steal your happiness then. Instead, follow the wisdom (智慧) of our four-legged friends and enjoy every day. When you wake up every morning, be thankful for the gift of this life. And always remember: “All is well!”
28．What can we know about Lemmy
A．He still lives in the yard. B．He was badly hurt.
C．He always makes trouble. D．He was missing.
29．Why does the author mention the dream
A．To share a funny story. B．To develop a good habit.
C．To express thanks to others. D．To show her love for the dogs.
30．What does the underlined word “her” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．A good feeling. B．A beautiful paint.
C．The rescue dog. D．The author’s daughter.
31．What does the author want to say in the text
A．Getting up early keeps us fresh. B．We should treasure our daily life.
C．Home is where we hang our heart. D．It is important to build shared values.
D
Achieving a healthy work-life balance — an idea that has spread to countries around the world — has become one of the primary social goals today. This has resulted in an immediate need for companies to allow for a variety of work styles such as working from home, while also providing a friendly work environment that can bring out the best in each employee.
It all sounds very promising, but in reality, most offices today feature the same boring designs. To make matters worse, air conditioning is often kept to a minimum to cut electricity costs, while windows are covered with blinds to prevent dizziness from longer exposure to natural light. Employees who work indoors are forced to spend most of their days in these unpleasantly warm environments. Since the choice is to build costly new offices that are brighter and more open, there is a real need for solutions that can create a sense of brightness and openness.
This is where Mitsubishi Electric’s revolutionary new technology comes into play. It is a lighting solution to produce the exact deep blue color of a clear sky. Using this technology, offices can work in a way that was not possible with previous LED lights.
The blue skies that are seen on a clear day are produced by what is known as Rayleigh scattering (散射). Because blue light waves are shorter than red light waves, they are scattered towards us more strongly — this is why the sky looks blue during the day.
Mitsubishi Electric’s LED skylight uses the same phenomenon to artificially create the sky’s deep blue quality. It is made up of a slim sky blue panel (嵌板) and a four-sided frame. Of the four frames, only three are lit up at any given time, while the fourth remains dark as if the light were entering at an angle — an important detail that creates the false idea of actual sunlight pouring in through a skylight. Thanks to this technology, one can remain in a closed room and still enjoy the great excitement of looking up at a deep blue sky.
32．What is a healthy work-life balance like according to the writer
A．It brings out the best of every employer.
B．It includes different kinds of work styles.
C．It encourages employees to work indoors.
D．It improves employees’ health conditions.
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The costly choices of most old offices.
B．The promising future of office workers.
C．The virtual solutions to improve productivity.
D．The work conditions in the offices today.
34．How does Mitsubishi Electric’s LED skylight work
A．By letting actual sunlight pour in.
B．By lighting three sides of the frames.
C．By changing the previous LED light.
D．By showing pictures the deep blue sky.
35．Which of the following can best describe the effect of Mitsubishi Electric’s LED skylight
A．Pleasant. B．Close. C．Dizzy. D．Colorful.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Litterati is a company that’s trying to make the world a cleaner place. 36 Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of “litter maps,” which can influence policy and packaging design.
Jeff Kirschner is the founder and CEO of Litterati. He came up with the idea while walking in a forest with his then-four-year-old daughter. 37 Despite being young, she expressed distress (悲痛) at the container being somewhere that it wasn’t supposed to be. This awareness stays with us as adults. The litter problem is so huge: what’s an individual person supposed to do
38 Uploading pictures to an app shows users that they’re not the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly. Kirschner said,“ 39 This information includes the objects, materials, brands and their location.”
kirschner describes these data-driven maps as being like a fingerprint. “That fingerprint provides both the source of the problem and the path to the solution.” 40 In San Francisco ,the Litterati app was able to map more than 5,000 pieces of trash (垃圾) in order to determine how much was generated by cigarettes specifically. Using this information the city successfully challenged a lawsuit (诉讼) by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax. In the Netherlands, Litterati’s data helped push Dutch brand Anta Flu to repackage its hard candies in waxed paper rather than plastic.
A．She noticed a plastic container in a river.
B．That’s where Kirschner thinks an app can help.
C．However, these maps turned out to be a failure.
D．We haven’t collected enough amount of data for our litter maps.
E．Our database now contains over 8 million pieces, growing at about 20,000 per day.
F．There are several examples of how Litterati’s data has already provided a path to a solution.
G．It has created an app people can use to upload information about the litter they collect outside.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Although we often hope that things go 56 way we want, luck isn't always on our side-especially when it comes to career goals. That's why it's important to 57 (effective) plan for the future, whether you're still studying or 58 (work) for a while.
A career plan is a practical strategy 59 allows you to set career goals and put actions in place. Career planning is a great way to ensure your career is going in the right 60 (direct). Not only does it help you realize your passion, it also assists your career goals with tangible (切实的)actions and aims.
Although forming a plan is the first step, it won't work without continuous effort. That means using your career planner to guide your daily 61 (activity), while making ongoing changes throughout. This involves tracking your progress, marking off 62 (finish) goals, or even changing your strategy after realizing it wasn't quite right for you.
Keep doing these things, 63 your career plan is far less likely to fall to the back of your mind. If you're struggling to stay motivated, consider 64 (give) yourself rewards for each goal you meet. But rememberyour career is a marathon, not a sprint (冲刺)， 65 (try) to get too many things done within a short time is only going to set you up to fail in the long run.

“Going to Nationals!” We were all screaming and jumping. Kate, Jenny, Wendy and I embraced each other, bouncing. “Good job, Tara.” Said Kate as she put an arm around me. I am the youngest on the relay race team, but I'm fast. When I run, I leave the skin of my shyness behind, and I feel like a horseman on the Mongolian grassland, free, without boundaries.
Everybody ran to their parents in the bleachers ( 露天看台). My Mom didn’t make it. Again. I grabbed my phone and called her. It took a while for her to answer. “Yes, hi dear.” “Mom, we won states, and we are going to nationals.” I burst out in one breath. “Great! Let’s talk later; I’ll pick you up from school.” I wanted to say: “Is that it Why aren’t you proud of me All other parents are here, why aren’t you ” but all I did was“OK, see you soon.”Does she see me Do I matter
It was late after 9 PM. All the parents picked up their children, but my Mom wasn’t here yet. Coach Johnson waited with me. We just stood. A speeding car turned the corner; it was my Mom’s Toyota. Coach patted me on the back and left.
“I am so sorry I am late.Time just flew.” Said Mom. I wanted to cry in disappointment and tell her that I hate to be always last to be picked up and never have her come to my sporting contests, school plays, or anything else; ask her why she won’t make time for me. But when I looked at her and saw her tired eyes and clenched jaw (咬紧下巴), I just said: “That's OK, Mom, I understand.” Her jaw had stayed clenched since we came to this country as Mom would say: “with two pieces of luggage, a three-year-old (me), and $700.”

W:Welcome to Haybridge Hall. First, we’ll introduce the general history of the house. Haybridge Hall was constructed at the end of the 15th century and was originally called Hawken Hall when the first family owned it. Jack Hawken was a local businessman who had become wealthy thanks to success with wool exports. The house changed very little in the last 500 years with the exception of the Dawson Conservatory which can be found behind the ticket office. This was added in 1941 when the British Amy was using Haybridge Hall as a head office for the 8th Army. The Hawken family only managed to hold onto this fine property for around a decade before they had to sell up and the name Haybridge was used by the Yardley family who bought. The Yardley family was not from this area but from the north of England. They owned Haybridge for some 200 years and turned the surrounding area into productive farmland where various crops were grown.

56．考查冠词。句意：虽然我们经常希望事情按照我们希望的方式发展，但运气并不总是站在我们这边，尤其是在涉及到职业目标的时候。way后面有定语从句修饰，所以此处用the表示特指。故填the。

66．Dear Eric,
Congratulations on your winning the first prize in the Chinese calligraphy contest!
As is known to all, calligraphy is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. It is really amazing for a foreigner to write Chinese characters so well. I’ve already had a copybook of Wang Xizhi’s works delivered to you. I hope it can be of some help.
I’m looking forward to your greater progress in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

I am proud of you every second.” Thirsty for those words, I ran into herarms. The next day, I went back to the track. When I looked at my Mom in the bleachers, we smiled.
