五、阅读理解
根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案。
A
Cecilia Chiang, the chef and restaurant owner, was greatly known for introducing regional Chinese dishes to the United States. She helped change the way Americans think about Chinese cooking.
Chiang was born into a wealthy Shanghai family with two full-time chefs—one from the north and one from the south. In 1949 her family settled in Tokyo, opening a restaurant called the Forbidden City. But it was a 1960 trip in San Francisco that set Chiang on her dramatic journey to cooking fame. She was both shocked and amused by the food most Americans considered to be Chinese. “They think chop suey(杂烩) is the only thing we have in China,” she said with a laugh. “ What a shame.”
So Chiang was determined to open a high-end Chinese restaurant that served authentic Chinese food. “Everybody said, ‘You cannot make it. You cannot speak English. You don’t know anything.’” she recalled. In 1961 then, Chiang opened the Mandarin.
The restaurant wasn’t immediately successful. About a year after opening, the Mandarin received a mention from the San Francisco Chronicle (旧金山纪事报). The effect of the powerful writer’s positive comment was immediate. Tourists, dignitaries and celebrities(达官显贵)—from Mae West to John Lennon—flooded into the Mandarin for then -unfamiliar food like tea smoked duck twice cooked pork.
Though the Mandarin was closed years later, Cecilia Chiang’s DNA can be found all over American Chinese food. Her son founded the chain P.F. Chang’s and the son of one of her chefs founded Panda Express.
In early 2017, Chiang shared how she lived to be so old: “I always think about the better side, the good side of everything. I never think about, Oh, I’m going to fail. Oh, I cannot do this. Oh, I feel sorry for myself.” Instead, Chiang wrote books, starred in a PBS documentary series and won the most famous award in American cooking when she was 93 years old.
46. Cecilia Chiang opened the Mandarin in order to ________.
A．remember her 1960 trip in San Francisco
B．Serve real Chinese food to the Americans
C．Show her shock and amusement towards food
D．Continue her family tradition of running restaurants
47. What do we know about the Mandarin
A．It is in the charge of Chiang’s son now.
B．It wasn’t successful until two years later.
C．It turned out pretty popular among Americans.
D．It changed the way Americans think about China.
48. Which of the following best describes Cecilia Chiang
A．Talented and active.
B．Ambitious and selfless.
C．Optimistic and creative.
D．Positive and determined.

B
She’s beautiful. She’s intelligent. Don’t let her die.
Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death, accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Help end the suffering.
More than 300000 dolphins die in fishing nets every year.
You can help save dolphins around the world by adopting a UK dolphin for just 4 a month. Adopt now.
WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins.
We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats that they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue.
Our vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free- including the dolphin you adopt.
Meet the dolphins
The dolphins each have their own personalities- on the dolphin you would like to adopt.
The dolphins of Scotland’s Moray Firth are amazing but they face many threats. When you adopt a dolphin you will build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the whole population and give them a safer future.
Kesslet
Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with her calf. Charlie. Kesslet is easy to spot because of her curved dorsal fin. She is friends with lots of the local dolphins and can be often seen travelling in groups of mums and youngsters.
Mischief
Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with friends such as Sundance. Mischief is also a powerful hunter who can outrun even the biggest salmon. He is easily recognized by the big nick(缺口) in his dorsal fin.
Sundance
Sundance was first spotted in 1990 when he was a tiny calf and now he’s a big adult male bottlenose dolphin. Sundance is really sociable and he just loves to leap around with friends.
Why adopt a dolphin
“I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know an individual dolphin!" says Miranda Krestovinikoff, BBC TV Presenter.
Oil and gas exploration and production, large marina (码头) development, pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly putting pressure on the dolphins and their home. By adopting a dolphin, you will build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the whole population. Extinction is forever—the Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced.
When you adopt a dolphin you will be helping to fund our work protecting dolphins around the world including:
●Essential research—the more we understand about the dolphins, the better we can protect them.
●Political campaigns to ensure effective laws are in place to protect the dolphins and give them a safer future.
●Equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic recorders to help with our research.

Alibaba co-founder and chairman Jack Ma on Monday announced in an open letter that he would step down, with the company CEO Daniel Zhang taking over as the chairman of the board. Zhang, is known as a key architect of Alibaba’s “Singles Day”, the Nov. 11 event that has become the world’s largest online shopping event. In the letter entitled “Happy Teachers’ Day,” Ma said he would retire as the chairman of the board on Sept. 10, 2019. Ma said he would work closely with Zhang to ensure a smooth transition and stay on the Alibaba board of directors until the annual shareholders meeting in two years. After he steps down, he will continue to be part of the “Alibaba Partnership”, which has the ability to nominate the majority of directors on the company’s board. He also wants to return to education and charity, which gives him excitement and blessings.
“There’s only Bill Gates who has done the same. No other tech founder in the world has just resigned like that at the top,” said Rupert Hoogewerf, which publishes an annual influential list of China’s richest people. Hoogewerf added that in China, Ma was a figure like no other, with friends ranging from movie stars to billionaires, though he often outshone them all. “He’s the big one, he’s the one that brings them together.”
The company was founded at a time when the industry was still dominated by state-owned firms and entrepreneurship was seen as a risky career path. Alibaba, previously recognized as an on-line shopping company, also has investments in sports content, microchips and facial recognition technology and has been positioning itself as a serious player in cloud computing. Mr. Ma said in the letter, “The one thing I can promise everyone is this: Alibaba was never about Jack Ma, but Jack Ma will forever belong to Alibaba.”
53. What do we learn about Abibaba from this passage
A．It was founded by Jack Ma alone.
B．It is nothing more than an on-line shopping company.
C．It was founded at the time when private-owned firms was in a minority.

54. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A．Hoogewerf speaks highly of Jack Ma’s firm.
B．Bill Gates and Jack Ma have a lot in common.
C．Other than stars and billionaires, Jack Ma makes few friends.
D．Jack Ma is an influential person to unite his friends.
55. Jack Ma will do the following things after stepping down except________.
A．Helping people in need.
B．Ensuring the company’s transition.
C．Education career.
D．Suggesting candidates for the board.
56. What’s the best title for this passage

The Benefits of Keeping a Journal
If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down ____57____ But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. ____58____ You can use the ideas to push yourself forward.
____59____ After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. ____60____ In the end, you will expand your ideas.
A．I often experienced that myself.
B．It trains you to express your thoughts.
C．It allows you to see your progress over time.
D．Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.
E．Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
F．Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
六、概要写作
61. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Endangered Species
An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans.
Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there.
Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup.
So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too.
