Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests.

Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.
24. People began to know Wu Dajing by the time he .
A. won the second place at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games
B. won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games
C. won a gold medal at Pycong Chang Olympic Winter Games
D. entered the Pycong Chang Olympic Winter Games
25. What does the underlined word “flawless” mean
A. common B. valuable C. perfect D. difficult
26. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT
A. Wu won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games four years ago.
B. Wu broke the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.
C. Wu’s coaches placed great hope on him when he joined the national team.
D. Chinese skaters in women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay took home the gold.
27. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us

B. Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.
C. Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.

【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】

词义猜测题。根据第二自然段“BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.(英国广播公司说，武大靖的胜利是flawless，因为他比其他所有滑冰运动员都快得多。)”可知，因为他比其他所有滑冰者都快得多，因此英国广播公司评价说，武大靖的胜利是“完美的”。A. common.普通的；B. valuable珍贵的；C. perfect.完美的；D. difficult.困难的。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。第二段提到“He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal.”（他以39秒584的成绩创造了新的世界纪录。他也成为第一个获得奥运会短道速滑金牌的中国男子。）可知，他以39.584的时间打破了世界纪录。B项表述准确。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round.

Humans can race to get out of a hurricane’s path. Some animals can sense a hurricane coming and leave quickly, but there are animals that can’t simply get out of the way. Here are the various effects of hurricanes on animals.
Birds may be able to sense air pressure and other changes in the environment, which encourages them to get out of harm’s way. Some birds will even speed up their migration (迁徙) leaving earlier than usual if a serious hurricane is approaching. However, strong winds can push birds hundreds of miles away from their home. Young or weak birds can become separated from the rest of their group and often have difficulty making it home.
Fish can also be affected. After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, about 184 million fish died in south Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin alone. Strong winds blew leaves off trees, blowing them into wetlands. The rotting (腐烂的) organic material to extremely low levels of oxygen in the water, killing the fish. Some fish will often find sheltered areas during hurricanes, but they’re not always safe. Dolphins have occasionally been blown to shore during big hurricanes.
There are many other dangers that come with hurricane-related water. Sharp rise of saltwater onshore can harm wildlife and plants that live in the freshwater and can’t bear the salt content.Heavy rain can also affect the balance of fresh and salt water in some areas, harming the creatures that live in them.
Many animals lose their regular food supply when a hurricane arrives, as strong winds and rains destroy trees of fruits, nuts and berries. During Hurricane Andrew, about one-quarter of Louisiana’s public oyster seed (牡蛎种苗) grounds were destroyed. Because the oysters were an important food source for some birds on Louisiana’s barrier Islands, the birds suffered mass death as a direct result of the hurricane.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Birds are adapting to a changing climate.
B. Birds can sense the coming of a hurricane.
C. Birds migrate at certain times of every year.
D. Birds’ habitats are destroyed by hurricanes.
29. What causes fish in south Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin to die after Hurricane Andrew in 1992
A. Poisonous leaves. B. Air pollution.
C. A lack of oxygen. D. The loss of shelters.
30. What could be the effect of hurricane-related water
A. Ocean ecosystem is destroyed.
B. Sea salt production is reduced.
C. Many animals move away from their habitats.
D. There would be less fresh water on the earth.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Animals suffer more than humans during a hurricane
B. What happens to animals during a hurricane
C. Why do animals migrate earlier than usual
D. Animals might face serious threats
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了飓风对动物的各种影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Birds may be able to sense air pressure and other changes in the environment, whiche ncourages them to get out of harm’s way. Some birds will even speed up their migration (迁徙) leaving earlier than usual if a serious hurricane is approaching. (鸟类可能能够感知气压和环境中的其他变化，这鼓励它们远离危险。如果一场严重的飓风即将来临，一些鸟类甚至会加速迁徙，比平时更早离开)”可知，鸟能感觉到飓风的来临。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Fish can also be affected. After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, about 184 million fish died in south Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin alone. Strong winds blew leaves off trees, blowing them into wetlands.The rotting(腐烂的)organic material to extremely low levels of oxygen in the water,killing the fish. (鱼类也会受到影响。1992年安德鲁飓风过后，仅路易斯安那州南部的阿查法拉亚盆地就有1.84亿条鱼死亡。强风把树叶从树上吹落，吹到湿地。腐烂的有机物质使水中的氧气含量极低，杀死了鱼)”可知，1992年安德鲁飓风过后，缺少氧气导致路易斯安那州南部阿查法拉亚盆地的鱼类死亡。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“There are many other dangers that come with hurricane-related water. Sharp rise of saltwater onshore can harm wildlife and plants that live in the freshwater and can’t bear the salt content.Heavy rain can also affect the balance of fresh and salt water in some areas, harming the creatures that live in them.(与飓风有关的水还会带来许多其他危险。岸上咸水的急剧上升会伤害生活在淡水中的野生动物和植物，它们无法承受海水的含盐量。大雨还会影响某些地区淡水和盐水的平衡，伤害生活在其中的生物)”可知，与飓风有关的水会破坏海洋生态系统。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Humans can race to get out of a hurricane’s path. Some animals can sense a hurricane coming and leave quickly, but there are animals that can’t simply get out of the way. Here are the various effects of hurricanes on animals.(人类可以竞相逃离飓风的路径。有些动物能感觉到飓风的来临并迅速离开，但有些动物不能简单地让路。这是飓风对动物的各种影响)”可知，文章针对飓风对动物的各种影响展开叙述。What happens to animals during a hurricane （飓风来袭时动物会怎么样 ）符合最佳标题。故选B。

TOEFL and IELTS have been the main choices for English ability testing in higher education admissions (录取) for international students until now. In recent years, several companies have developed new English language tests that are low-cost and easy to use.
Duolingo set up its own test of English language ability. Jennifer Dewar works as an official (行政人员) at Washington University, which is one of the hundreds of universities in and outside the U.S. that now take the test results for international admissions. Duolingo created the test to make higher education available to more people worldwide.
The TOEFL and the IELTS cost between about $180 and $240. They are only given in several centers around the world. Some test-takers have to travel to take the tests, adding to the costs. However, Duolingo offers its test entirely over the Internet for $49. All test-takers need is a computer with a microphone, listening device and self-facing camera.
David Payne is a president for Educational Testing Service, which runs the TOEFL test. He agrees that improving availability of higher education is important. But he says general English knowledge isn’t the only thing universities require. Universities need to know how successful a student will be in using the level of academic (学术的) English that their teachers will expect of them. But Duolingo may fail to show that. Payne said, “The tests for the academic market should provide the value that’s necessary for making an important decision. And saving money doesn’t seem worth it.”
In a word, universities have to do their research to decide if any new tests work as well as traditional ones in their cases. It really comes down to a question for the universities about what’s available, what the products show, and if they’re satisfied with their choices. In general, having choices is important.
32. What do we know about the Duolingo test
A. It could be taken anytime. B. It requires little of test takers.
C. It makes English learning much easier. D. It is accepted by many U.S. universities.
33. What’s the purpose of the third paragraph
A. To show Duolingo is popular. B. To show Duolingo’s advantages.
C. To show us how to take a Duolingo test. D. To show TOEFL and the IELTS are difficult.
34. What does Payne try to stress as important
A. Students’ ability to use academic English. B. Students’ grades of different tests.
C. The general English knowledge. D. The ability to make a decision.
35. What does the author advise universities to do
A. Consider new tests first. B. Create more test choices.
C. Choose tests after careful research. D. Use both TOEFL and Duolingo tests.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了目前兴起的一个英语语言考试——多邻国考试，包括其优势、研发背景和不足等信息，并建议大学在认真研究产品后，选择有效的考试形式。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Jennifer Dewar works as an official (行政人员) at Washington University, which is one of the hundreds of universities in and outside the U.S. that now take the test results for international admissions. (Jennifer Dewar是华盛顿大学的一名行政人员，华盛顿大学是美国国内外数百所接受其测试结果作为国际入学考试评判标准的大学之一)”可知，多邻国考试被许多美国大学所接受。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The TOEFL and the IELTS cost between about $180 and $240. They are only given in several centers around the world. Some test-takers have to travel to take the tests, adding to the costs. However, Duolingo offers its test entirely over the Internet for $49. All test-takers need is a computer with a microphone, listening device and self-facing camera. (托福和雅思考试的费用在180美元到240美元之间。它们只在世界各地的几个中心提供。一些考生不得不长途跋涉去参加考试，这增加了考试费用。然而，多邻国完全通过互联网提供测试，价格为49美元。所有考生需要的是一台带有麦克风、听力设备和自动摄像头的电脑)”可知，本段主要是将多邻国考试与托福和雅思考试进行对比，表明其价格更低、考试形式更简单方便，目的是展示其优势。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“But he says general English knowledge isn’t the only thing universities require. Universities need to know how successful a student will be in using the level of academic (学术的) English that their teachers will expect of them. (但他说，一般的英语知识并不是大学所要求的唯一东西。大学需要知道学生在使用老师期望的学术英语水平方面有多成功)”可知，Payne强调学生使用学术英语的能力也很重要。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In a word, universities have to do their research to decide if any new tests work as well as traditional ones in their cases. It really comes down to a question for the universities about what’s available, what the products show, and if they’re satisfied with their choices. (总之，大学必须进行研究，以确定在他们的情况中，新考试是否和传统考试一样有效。对于大学来说，这真的归结为一个问题：有什么可用的，产品显示了什么，他们是否对自己的选择感到满意)”可知，作者建议大学对根本问题进行认真研究，从而选择有效的考试。故选C项。

While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.
21. Why can tea find its way into various food cultures

D. It allows people to sit together.

Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could.

Humans can race to get out of a hurricane’s path. Some animals can sense a hurricane coming and leave quickly, but there are animals that can’t simply get out of the way. Here are the various effects of hurricanes on animals.
Birds may be able to sense air pressure and other changes in the environment, which encourages them to get out of harm’s way. Some birds will even speed up their migration (迁徙) leaving earlier than usual if a serious hurricane is approaching. However, strong winds can push birds hundreds of miles away from their home. Young or weak birds can become separated from the rest of their group and often have difficulty making it home.
Fish can also be affected. After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, about 184 million fish died in south Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin alone. Strong winds blew leaves off trees, blowing them into wetlands. The rotting (腐烂的) organic material to extremely low levels of oxygen in the water, killing the fish. Some fish will often find sheltered areas during hurricanes, but they’re not always safe. Dolphins have occasionally been blown to shore during big hurricanes.
There are many other dangers that come with hurricane-related water. Sharp rise of saltwater onshore can harm wildlife and plants that live in the freshwater and can’t bear the salt content.Heavy rain can also affect the balance of fresh and salt water in some areas, harming the creatures that live in them.
Many animals lose their regular food supply when a hurricane arrives, as strong winds and rains destroy trees of fruits, nuts and berries. During Hurricane Andrew, about one-quarter of Louisiana’s public oyster seed (牡蛎种苗) grounds were destroyed. Because the oysters were an important food source for some birds on Louisiana’s barrier Islands, the birds suffered mass death as a direct result of the hurricane.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Birds are adapting to a changing climate.
B. Birds can sense the coming of a hurricane.
C. Birds migrate at certain times of every year.
D. Birds’ habitats are destroyed by hurricanes.
29. What causes fish in south Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin to die after Hurricane Andrew in 1992
A. Poisonous leaves. B. Air pollution.
C. A lack of oxygen. D. The loss of shelters.
30. What could be the effect of hurricane-related water
A. Ocean ecosystem is destroyed.
B. Sea salt production is reduced.
C. Many animals move away from their habitats.
D. There would be less fresh water on the earth.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Animals suffer more than humans during a hurricane
B. What happens to animals during a hurricane
C. Why do animals migrate earlier than usual
D. Animals might face serious threats

TOEFL and IELTS have been the main choices for English ability testing in higher education admissions (录取) for international students until now. In recent years, several companies have developed new English language tests that are low-cost and easy to use.
Duolingo set up its own test of English language ability. Jennifer Dewar works as an official (行政人员) at Washington University, which is one of the hundreds of universities in and outside the U.S. that now take the test results for international admissions. Duolingo created the test to make higher education available to more people worldwide.
The TOEFL and the IELTS cost between about $180 and $240. They are only given in several centers around the world. Some test-takers have to travel to take the tests, adding to the costs. However, Duolingo offers its test entirely over the Internet for $49. All test-takers need is a computer with a microphone, listening device and self-facing camera.
David Payne is a president for Educational Testing Service, which runs the TOEFL test. He agrees that improving availability of higher education is important. But he says general English knowledge isn’t the only thing universities require. Universities need to know how successful a student will be in using the level of academic (学术的) English that their teachers will expect of them. But Duolingo may fail to show that. Payne said, “The tests for the academic market should provide the value that’s necessary for making an important decision. And saving money doesn’t seem worth it.”
In a word, universities have to do their research to decide if any new tests work as well as traditional ones in their cases. It really comes down to a question for the universities about what’s available, what the products show, and if they’re satisfied with their choices. In general, having choices is important.
32. What do we know about the Duolingo test
A. It could be taken anytime. B. It requires little of test takers.
C. It makes English learning much easier. D. It is accepted by many U.S. universities.
33. What’s the purpose of the third paragraph
A. To show Duolingo is popular. B. To show Duolingo’s advantages.
C. To show us how to take a Duolingo test. D. To show TOEFL and the IELTS are difficult.
34. What does Payne try to stress as important
A. Students’ ability to use academic English. B. Students’ grades of different tests.
C. The general English knowledge. D. The ability to make a decision.
35. What does the author advise universities to do
A. Consider new tests first. B. Create more test choices.
C. Choose tests after careful research. D. Use both TOEFL and Duolingo tests.
