We can feel it in the air. Birds singing in the morning, sun streaming through the windows and flowers appearing all over. It can only mean one thing—spring has come.
Our spring favorites
If you’re planning a spring break to Denmark, take a look at the weather and plan ahead. Typical spring weather in Denmark can be cold, with highs of 5.5℃in March. Rain is common all year round, but don’t let that lower your spirits! Denmark is great to visit in spring and we’ve picked out some of our favourite things to see and do.
Cherry blossom
Nothing says spring quite like the bright pink burst of a cherry blossom. Denmark is a great place to see it! One of our top spots is Bispebjerg Kirkeg rd in Copenhagen. Here, tree-lined streets are completely transformed by pink cherry blossom branches. Elsewhere in Copenhagen there is Langelinie Park which has a Sakura Festival every year, and the Botanical Gardens in the heart of the city. Outside Copenhagen, Fredens Torv in Aarhus is another blossom hot-spot.
Get outside and hunt for giants
If you’re planning a trip to our capital, why not rent a car and make a day of hunting for our mountainous friends Six wooden giants made from recycled materials by artist Thomas Dambo can be found hiding around the suburbs of Copenhagen. A perfect trip for kids with a healthy sense of adventure.
It’s theme park time!
Tivoli Gardens will reopen its doors on the 8th of April. With the days growing longer, you get more time to relax in the peaceful gardens, or on hair-raising rides.
Just 10 kilometers north of Copenhagen is Bakken, the world’s oldest amusement park! Here you can experience 32 rides for all ages, including a wooden roller-coaster dating back to 1932. The fairytale woods that surround the deer park are also worth a visit.

In the fall of 2012, Ken Liu received an offer from a Chinese company, which was seeking an English translator for a sci-fi novel titled The Three-Body Problem. Ken was a natural choice: familiar with both the Chinese and English sci-fi wording and culture. But The Three-Body Problem was unlike anything Ken had ever read. A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity’s place in the universe. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging.
When the English translation of The Three-Body Problem was published, it was described as a groundbreaking work of speculative fiction (推理小说). Liu Cixin, the author of the original work said, “Usually when Chinese literature gets translated into a foreign language, it tends to lose something. But I don’t think that happened to The Three-Body Problem. I think it gained something.”
Ken was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. He was a bookworm. Books provided him with a refuge when he moved to Calif, and couldn’t speak English at the age of 11. After graduation from Harvard, he was a computer programmer, then a corporate lawyer, and later a sci-fi writer. Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Eventually, one of his works won three big awards.
Ken never set out to be a translator, but a Chinese writer discovered Ken. Chen Qiufan liked reading Ken’s short stories online and kept in touch with Ken. One day, he asked Ken for his opinion on an English translation of one of his stories, which was from a translation company. Ken wasn’t impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken’s spirit.
Ken’s approach to translation is unorthodox (非正统的). Strict loyalty to the source material is not his chief goal, nor is producing a smooth, Americanized version. “It’s not a word-by-word recreation,” he said. “It’s about how I show the overall effect.” Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them.
4. Ken’s task of translating The Three-Body Problem is ______.
A. demanding B. well-paid C. urgent D. eye-catching
5. What does Ken’s writing experience tell us
A. All life is an experiment.
B. Today a reader tomorrow a leader.
C. Persistence will be eventually rewarded.
D. Unintentional actions bring unexpected surprises.
6. What impressed Chen Qiufan most about Ken
A. Ken wrote many short novels online.
B. Ken gave his opinions on Chen’s novels.
C. Ken took his work seriously and pursued perfection.
D Ken aimed to be a translator after graduation from Harvard.
7. What is Ken’s translation style like
A. It follows every word exactly. B. It highlights cultural differences.
C. It is influenced by American culture. D. It focuses on the fluency of language.
C
Tamara Hinson examines why space exploration developments shouldn’t just be of interest to astronauts—they’re helping to change our holidays, too.
In early May 2019 Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, successfully launched and landed the rocket Bezos plans to use for space tourism. In recent years, international space agencies and private space exploration companies have made huge leaps forward in their efforts to explore beyond planet Earth. This isn’t just good news for those of us with a burning desire to visit the Moon, see our planet from space or set up camp on Mars, and if you extremely like travelling, you’ll highly likely eventually benefit from developments relating to space exploration. By travelling in a spaceship sent into orbit, an eight-hour flight in a narrow airplane could become a 30-minute hop, while the entire planet could be circumnavigated in just 90 minutes.
Recent developments suggest such journeys might soon become reality, largely thanks to the number of privately-funded space exploration adventures, like Musk’s SpaceX.
“It’s not just about national space agencies any more and commercial companies all over the world are doing their own thing,” points out Bresnik, who admits to being surprised at the developments made in a relatively short space of time. “In the 1900s we had the first flight, and suddenly all these other people were building airplanes. And now, just over 100 years later, there are generations who think it’s perfectly normal to simply book a flight on their iPhone. And we’re at the same point with space flight; you’ll soon be able to go to space without being a professional astronaut.”
All of these developments and the research and testing which comes before hand serve another purpose. They make getting to Mars— the little red dot our descendants (后代) could very well end up living on much easier, although there are still various obstacles. Bresnik states that he suspects a trip into space will soon be as simple as a trip to Disneyland even if the famous theme park has certain advantages, such as more reliable supplies of food, water, and oxygen, believing we’re close to overcoming all obstacles and pointing out that one potential solution would be to take seeds instead of food, and use regenerative techniques to reclaim water.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and 3
A. Bezos plans to use the rocket for space exploration.
B. Space tourism lovers have set up camp on the Mars.
C. Travelling by spaceship might largely shorten the travelling time.
D. Musk’s SpaceX alone makes such space journeys become a reality.
9. Why is Bresnik surprised
A. Space exploration has made rapid progress.
B. A trip into space will cost as much as an iPhone.
C. People can go to space without being trained nowadays.
D. Many commercial companies play a role in space tourism.
10. Which statement may Bresnik agree with
A. A trip into space is as simple as a trip to Disneyland.
B. Growing crops might solve food problems in space.
C. Space tourism can provide reliable food, water and oxygen.
D. Living on the Mars is difficult for our descendants in the future.
11. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Let’s Go to Mars for a Holiday!
B. Are You Ready for Space Tourism
C. Space Exploration Develops Rapidly.
D. Private Companies Contributes to Space Tourism.
D
A “superhero” moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas, researchers have found. Scientists from the conservation group Moors for the Future Partnership who conducted a six-year study into sphagnum moss (泥炭藓) found that planting it in upland areas could dramatically slow the rate at which water runs off the hillsides, preventing river catchments (集水处) being overwhelmed with water downstream.
The research found that the sphagnum moss reduced peak streamflow — the maximum amount of water that enters a river after a storm — by 65%. The moss was also found to increase lag time — the time taken between rainfall and the rainwater entering the river system — by 680%.
More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants–which are about the size of a 5 0p coin — were planted on Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District national park, as part of an “outdoor laboratory” for researchers to observe.
Before the moss was planted on Kinder, the hill surface consisted of bare peat, which meant that after a storm rainwater would wash straight off, leaving communities in downstream valleys more vulnerable to flooding.
The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits. The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water, which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment more gradually to prevent it from being overwhelmed. Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers of peat underneath it, and can accumulate over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage.
Tom Spencer, a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership hailed the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment. He said sphagnum planting could be “a powerful tool in minimising the risk and severity of flooding”, which would have “far-reaching benefits for communities downstream”.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. River catchments need to be expanded. B. Sphagnum moss can ease the impact of flood.
C. More trees should be planted to prevent flood. D. Upland areas are not safe to live in during flood.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Impressive functions of sphagnum moss. B. Serious problems caused by rainwater.
C. Suggested ways to plant sphagnum moss. D. Future possibilities of sphagnum moss.
14. What does the underlined word “hailed” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. spoke highly of B. lost sight of C. paid attention to D. made remarks on
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To explain the real causes of flood. B. To share a way of planting sphagnum moss.
C. To stress the flood risks of some communities. D. To introduce the ecological benefits of a plant.

As for the wild pigs, I have grown up seeing many of them around my life and hearing plenty of stories about them. Most of the time if I ever saw any wild pigs, I was either in a car or watching from a window inside a house, I had never experienced a wild pig in person.
I often go for walks after work. It is great for clearing my head, and it feels nice to move around after sitting most of the day. Most of the time, I will just do circles around my neighborhood for about a half hour, but this one day, I decided to change my route, and took a walk on a nearby hill.
On the other side of the street from a group home is a hill where you can look out and see over the buildings: the trees and the hills just roll on (绵延) for miles. I found it to be a very peaceful place. I stood at the hill for a while taking in the sunset. All I had on me were my keys, my phone and my wallet while wearing athletic wear and a jacket. After taking in the sunset for a while, I wanted to head back before it got too dark.
As I was walking back to the main road, out of the woods ran three wild pigs. They saw me and stopped. Naturally, I stopped, as well. They were blocking my way out of the hill, and the route I needed to get home.
The wild pigs were more in number than me, but I’ve often heard that wild pigs are more scared of humans than humans are of wild pigs. I’ve also heard that when running into wild pigs, one should try to act big and tall. I did my best to control my breathing and stand tall.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Slowly, I took out my keys with one hand, and held my phone in the other.

In the fall of 2012, Ken Liu received an offer from a Chinese company, which was seeking an English translator for a sci-fi novel titled The Three-Body Problem. Ken was a natural choice: familiar with both the Chinese and English sci-fi wording and culture. But The Three-Body Problem was unlike anything Ken had ever read. A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity’s place in the universe. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging.
When the English translation of The Three-Body Problem was published, it was described as a groundbreaking work of speculative fiction (推理小说). Liu Cixin, the author of the original work said, “Usually when Chinese literature gets translated into a foreign language, it tends to lose something. But I don’t think that happened to The Three-Body Problem. I think it gained something.”
Ken was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. He was a bookworm. Books provided him with a refuge when he moved to Calif, and couldn’t speak English at the age of 11. After graduation from Harvard, he was a computer programmer, then a corporate lawyer, and later a sci-fi writer. Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Eventually, one of his works won three big awards.
Ken never set out to be a translator, but a Chinese writer discovered Ken. Chen Qiufan liked reading Ken’s short stories online and kept in touch with Ken. One day, he asked Ken for his opinion on an English translation of one of his stories, which was from a translation company. Ken wasn’t impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken’s spirit.
Ken’s approach to translation is unorthodox (非正统的). Strict loyalty to the source material is not his chief goal, nor is producing a smooth, Americanized version. “It’s not a word-by-word recreation,” he said. “It’s about how I show the overall effect.” Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them.
4. Ken’s task of translating The Three-Body Problem is ______.
A. demanding B. well-paid C. urgent D. eye-catching
5. What does Ken’s writing experience tell us
A. All life is an experiment.
B. Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
C Persistence will be eventually rewarded.
D. Unintentional actions bring unexpected surprises.
6. What impressed Chen Qiufan most about Ken
A. Ken wrote many short novels online.
B. Ken gave his opinions on Chen’s novels.
C. Ken took his work seriously and pursued perfection.
D. Ken aimed to be a translator after graduation from Harvard.
7. What is Ken’s translation style like
A. It follows every word exactly. B. It highlights cultural differences.
C. It is influenced by American culture. D. It focuses on the fluency of language.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B

(Ken的翻译方法是非正统的。严格忠于原著并不是他的主要目标，制作一部流畅的美国化版本也不是他的主要目标。“这不是逐字逐句的娱乐，”他说。“关键是我如何展示整体效果。”他并没有忽视大多数西方读者可能会忽略的文化和语言差异，而是试图强调这些差异。)”可知，Ken的翻译并没有忽视大多数西方读者可能会忽略的文化和语言差异，而是试图强调这些差异。故选B。

Tamara Hinson examines why space exploration developments shouldn’t just be of interest to astronauts—they’re helping to change our holidays, too.
In early May 2019 Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, successfully launched and landed the rocket Bezos plans to use for space tourism. In recent years, international space agencies and private space exploration companies have made huge leaps forward in their efforts to explore beyond planet Earth. This isn’t just good news for those of us with a burning desire to visit the Moon, see our planet from space or set up camp on Mars, and if you extremely like travelling, you’ll highly likely eventually benefit from developments relating to space exploration. By travelling in a spaceship sent into orbit, an eight-hour flight in a narrow airplane could become a 30-minute hop, while the entire planet could be circumnavigated in just 90 minutes.
Recent developments suggest such journeys might soon become reality, largely thanks to the number of privately-funded space exploration adventures, like Musk’s SpaceX.
“It’s not just about national space agencies any more and commercial companies all over the world are doing their own thing,” points out Bresnik, who admits to being surprised at the developments made in a relatively short space of time. “In the 1900s we had the first flight, and suddenly all these other people were building airplanes. And now, just over 100 years later, there are generations who think it’s perfectly normal to simply book a flight on their iPhone. And we’re at the same point with space flight; you’ll soon be able to go to space without being a professional astronaut.”
All of these developments and the research and testing which comes before hand serve another purpose. They make getting to Mars— the little red dot our descendants (后代) could very well end up living on much easier, although there are still various obstacles. Bresnik states that he suspects a trip into space will soon be as simple as a trip to Disneyland even if the famous theme park has certain advantages, such as more reliable supplies of food, water, and oxygen, believing we’re close to overcoming all obstacles and pointing out that one potential solution would be to take seeds instead of food, and use regenerative techniques to reclaim water.
8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and 3
A. Bezos plans to use the rocket for space exploration.
B. Space tourism lovers have set up camp on the Mars.
C. Travelling by spaceship might largely shorten the travelling time.
D. Musk’s SpaceX alone makes such space journeys become a reality.
9. Why is Bresnik surprised
A. Space exploration has made rapid progress.
B. A trip into space will cost as much as an iPhone.
C. People can go to space without being trained nowadays.
D. Many commercial companies play a role in space tourism.
10. Which statement may Bresnik agree with
A. A trip into space is as simple as a trip to Disneyland.
B. Growing crops might solve food problems in space.
C. Space tourism can provide reliable food, water and oxygen.
D. Living on the Mars is difficult for our descendants in the future.
11. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Let’s Go to Mars for a Holiday!
B. Are You Ready for Space Tourism
C. Space Exploration Develops Rapidly.
D. Private Companies Contributes to Space Tourism.

D
A “superhero” moss can significantly reduce the risk and severity of flooding for communities living in downstream areas, researchers have found. Scientists from the conservation group Moors for the Future Partnership who conducted a six-year study into sphagnum moss (泥炭藓) found that planting it in upland areas could dramatically slow the rate at which water runs off the hillsides, preventing river catchments (集水处) being overwhelmed with water downstream.
The research found that the sphagnum moss reduced peak streamflow — the maximum amount of water that enters a river after a storm — by 65%. The moss was also found to increase lag time — the time taken between rainfall and the rainwater entering the river system — by 680%.
More than 50,000 individual sphagnum plants–which are about the size of a 5 0p coin — were planted on Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District national park, as part of an “outdoor laboratory” for researchers to observe.
Before the moss was planted on Kinder, the hill surface consisted of bare peat, which meant that after a storm rainwater would wash straight off, leaving communities in downstream valleys more vulnerable to flooding.
The planting of sphagnum moss could therefore bring important ecological benefits. The plant is capable of absorbing up to 20 times its own weight in water, which means that more rainwater can be held upstream and enter a river catchment more gradually to prevent it from being overwhelmed. Sphagnum moss can also help protect the layers of peat underneath it, and can accumulate over time to create new layers of peat which are essential to carbon storage.
Tom Spencer, a research and monitoring officer for the Moors for the Future Partnership hailed the dramatic effects the moss has had on the river catchment. He said sphagnum planting could be “a powerful tool in minimising the risk and severity of flooding”, which would have “far-reaching benefits for communities downstream”.
12. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. River catchments need to be expanded. B. Sphagnum moss can ease the impact of flood.
C. More trees should be planted to prevent flood. D. Upland areas are not safe to live in during flood.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Impressive functions of sphagnum moss. B. Serious problems caused by rainwater.
C. Suggested ways to plant sphagnum moss. D. Future possibilities of sphagnum moss.
14. What does the underlined word “hailed” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. spoke highly of B. lost sight of C. paid attention to D. made remarks on
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To explain the real causes of flood. B. To share a way of planting sphagnum moss.
C. To stress the flood risks of some communities. D. To introduce the ecological benefits of a plant.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D

【解析】
【导语】本文事一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种特色小吃——肉夹馍的历史和制作等。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：自公元前210年以来，西安既是丝绸之路的东端，也是中国13个左右朝代的首都。根据前面的数字13可知，此处应该用可数名词的复数形式，dynasty的复数是dynasties，故填dynasties。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：制作肉夹馍馅的肉类传统上可以追溯到战国时期。本句的主语是The meat preparation，且陈述的是一般事实，应该用第三人称单数形式，再根据提示，故填dates。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：像肉夹馍中使用的那种中亚风格的扁平面包，通常被认为是由中国将军班超传入中国的。班超在1世纪花了30多年时间与部落联盟作战，重新控制了中国最遥远的西部地区。此处的___3___ Chinese general是作为“Ban Chao”的同位语，根据单数可数名词general可知，应该用不定冠词，Chinesel是以辅音音素开头的名词，应该用a。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：像肉夹馍中使用的那种中亚风格的扁平面包，通常被认为是由中国将军班超传入中国的。班超在1世纪花了30多年时间与部落联盟作战，重新控制了中国最遥远的西部地区。spend some time (in) doing sth.意为“花费某些时间做某事”，此处的动词应该用动名词形式，再根据提示，故填（in）battling。

【41题详解】
考查语态。句意：陈年存货受到特别重视。此处的名词importance跟动词place之间是被动关系，应该用被动语态；且importance为不可数名词，应该用第三人称单数形式的，故填is placed。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：高汤制作完成后，将厚猪肉片依次放入锅中炖煮数小时。名词turn前面应该用形容词作为定语，且前面的主语是thick slices of pork，复数形式，可以用形容词性物主代词their，故填their。
【43题详解】
考查连接代词。句意：这种被称为“白鸡馍”的馒头得名于今天的白鸡乡。介词from之后是宾语从句，横线住需要填入引导宾语从句的连词，且在从句中作为主语，意义为“……的事物”。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：诚然，肉夹馍远非完美的食物。perfect food作为名词短语，在句中作为宾语，前面可以填入介词。固定短语far from意为“远离，远非”，故填from。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在路上吃东西是有风险的。固定搭配use something to do，不定式作目的状语。故填to eat。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As for the wild pigs, I have grown up seeing many of them around my life and hearing plenty of stories about them. Most of the time if I ever saw any wild pigs, I was either in a car or watching from a window inside a house, I had never experienced a wild pig in person.
I often go for walks after work. It is great for clearing my head, and it feels nice to move around after sitting most of the day. Most of the time, I will just do circles around my neighborhood for about a half hour, but this one day, I decided to change my route, and took a walk on a nearby hill.
On the other side of the street from a group home is a hill where you can look out and see over the buildings: the trees and the hills just roll on (绵延) for miles. I found it to be a very peaceful place. I stood at the hill for a while taking in the sunset. All I had on me were my keys, my phone and my wallet while wearing athletic wear and a jacket. After taking in the sunset for a while, I wanted to head back before it got too dark.
As I was walking back to the main road, out of the woods ran three wild pigs. They saw me and stopped. Naturally, I stopped, as well. They were blocking my way out of the hill, and the route I needed to get home.
The wild pigs were more in number than me, but I’ve often heard that wild pigs are more scared of humans than humans are of wild pigs. I’ve also heard that when running into wild pigs, one should try to act big and tall. I did my best to control my breathing and stand tall.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Slowly, I took out my keys with one hand, and held my phone in the other.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All of a sudden, a car horn broke through the night.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Slowly, I took out my keys with one hand, and held my phone in the other. My phone has a feature that when you shake it, the light comes on. So I moved my arms up and down in the air, making noise with the keys and trying to scare the wild pigs with the light. To my disappointment, what I did was in vain. I noticed that made them move back a bit. I let out a deep, loud cry, and heavily stepped on the ground. Again, they moved back, but still didn’t run away. My heart began to beat wildly, my palms constantly sweating. I didn’t know what to do.
All of a sudden, a car horn broke through the night. The wild pigs looked behind me and run away. When I was sure the wild pigs were gone, I turned around. It was one of the workers from the group home who noticed me there with the wild pigs that saved my life. He looked like an oasis on the vast and bare expanse of the desert. I held his hands tightly, shedding tears of gratitude. He offered me a ride home, but I told him I was fine. Then we went on our separate ways. I got home jast fine, but shaken a little.
