18、amous face is balancing the needs of privacy and recognition.For some stars privacy is an overvalued thing. In 1919, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford went on their European honeymoon. The two international idols had divorced their previous spouses and were concerned about how they would be greete

19、d. They neednt have worried. In London their car was surrounded by admiring women who pulled Mary out of the car to shake her hand, still grateful after two years for her efforts selling war bonds (债券). In Paris they couldnt get any sleep with crowds gathering below their hotel room to sing and play

20、 for them. In Amsterdam they attended a party and were mobbed by other guests who wanted to get close to them. The athletic Fairbanks placed his wife on his shoulder and escaped through the window. Finally, they found privacy in Hamburg, where their movies were not shown because of World War I. For

21、an hour the famous newly-married couple walked on the streets unnoticed until bored Mary turned to her husband and said, “Doug, Im sick of this. Lets go back to one of those countries where they mob us.”Joan Crawford had similar feelings. Once in the 1930s she was staying in New York getting over he

22、r breakup with Clark Gable. Tired of staying around her hotel feeling so down, she told her entourage they should go out and get some fresh air. The entourage, who had trouble keeping up with the stars quick pace, were shocked when she walked away from their planned road. “Oh my God. Shes going into

23、 Grand Central Station!” Someone shouted, “Look, its Joan Crawford! And she was mobbed.” It took them thirty minutes to escape the crowd and get back to their hotel suite.

Stars are not always popular around the world.COn February 6, 2020, American astronaut Christina Koch arrived back on Earth after 328 days in space.

27、Her time in space is just one of the records set by herself. Thats the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space. Ms. Koch took off from Earth for the International Space Station (ISS) on March 12, 2019. While in space, she made 5, 248 trips

28、 around the Earth, travelling 2, 237 million kilometers, which is roughly the same as 291 trips to the Moon and back. During her 11 months on the ISS, Ms. Koch took part in six spacewalks, spending over 42 hours in all outside the station. In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female s

29、pacewalk with Jessica Meir. But for most astronauts, space travel isnt about setting records. Its about doing science. Ms. Koch took part in a wide variety of special experiments, including studying how crystals grow in space, how atoms behave in extreme cold and learning more about growing plants i

30、n low gravity. Growing plants in space could be an important way to provide food on future trips. She also tested a new way of separating liquids from gases. This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel. Ms. Ko

31、ch isnt just a scientist and an astronaut. She is also being studied. Shes part of a NASA program studying how astronauts are affected by being in space for long periods of time. Her trip was only 12 days shorter than the American record set by Scott Kelly in 2016. As they did with Mr. Kelly, NASA s

32、cientists are looking carefully at ways Ms. Kochs body has been affected by her time in space. That research is important for the longer space trips NASA hopes to make in the future, such as for a base on the moon or a trip to Mars.28. Which of the following is an achievement Ms. Koch has made?A. Ma

33、king the longest spaceflight by herself.B. Leading the first women-only spacewalk.C. Cleaning water and air successfully in space.D. Staying outside the ISS continuously for 42 hours.29.

US Astronauts Carried out Experiments in SpaceC. Spacewalks Have Successfully Been Done on the ISSD. NASA is Studying Astronauts for Longer S

36、pace TripsDIn habitats across the planet, animals periodically drop everything to walk, fly or swim to a new place. Wildlife such as whales and geese learn migration paths by following their parents. Others, including small songbirds, gain the distance and direction of their migration within their g

37、enetic code. And some animals use a combination of genetics and culture to guide their migration.Another group of migrators does not quite fit either model, and researchers have only recently started to figure out how they find their way. Take the Corys shearwater, an oceangoing sea bird that migrat

38、es over the Atlantic every year. The young do not migrate with their parents, so culture cannot explain their journeys. And the exact paths vary wildly from individual to individual, making genetics equally unlikely.Corys shearwaters are long-lived, rarely producing young successfully before age nin

39、e. This leaves an opening for learning and practice to develop their migration patterns. Researchers call this the “exploration-refinement”, and until now it has been hypothetical (假设的) because of difficulties in tracking migratory animals movements.But a team of researchers has done that by attachi

40、ng small geolocators to more than 150 of the birds aged four to nine. They found that younger birds traveled longer distances, for longer periods, and had more diverse paths than older birds. “We finally have evidence of the exploration-refinement for migratory birds,” says Letizia Campioni, who led

41、 the study. Younger Corys shearwaters are able to fly just as fast as the adults but they do not, suggesting that the young do more exploring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle into a preferred course.Although it may seem less efficient than other strategies, “exploration refinement co

42、uld be beneficial to birds and other organisms in a rapidly changing world due to unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer to repeat a behavior that was recently successful than to rely on patterns that were perfected long ago but might no longer be safe.”32. What is th

43、e first paragraph mainly about? .A. It describes animals habitats. B. It talks about migration models.C. It compares different species. D. It introduces a tracking technology.33. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The opening for learning and practice.B. The unique livin

44、g habit of Corys shearwaters.C. The way Corys shearwaters form their migration patterns.D. The process scientists track Corys shearwaters movements.34. What does Letizias study find about the younger Corys shearwaters?A. They travel as much as adult birds.B. They move in a predictable manner.C. They

45、 lower the speed for exploration.D. They look for a course with their parents.35. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Man-made changes make migration easier.B. Animals make a safer journey via a fixed track.C. Course exploration contributes to birds adaptability.D. A combination of strat

46、egies assures migration success.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Supporting OthersWere always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, its natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 36

47、When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 37 In this case, offering support in the manner of “. if l were you, I would .” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.38 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just

48、 saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if its not needed, just knowing you ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling

49、, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle appl

50、ies when we offer support that increases someone elses capacity. 39 Sometimes the only support thats needed is to listen without judgement. 40 This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the

51、 storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when its a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.A. Here are the pros and cons of supporting others.B. Just be there, while someone lets out their feelings.C. Ask what support is

52、needed and provide a practical one.D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.F. Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed.G. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30

Roughly 12,000 years ago, as the last major ice age was ending, the area that is now the North Sea was very different. Instead of water, the area had hills, wetlands and valleys full of trees. Stone Age peo

94、ple lived in Doggerland. They were hunter-gatherers who moved with the seasons and lived by fishing, hunting, and gathering food such as nuts and berries. (17) Over time, they were slowly flooded out of their hunting grounds. Water which had been locked away in ice began to melt, drowning Doggerland

95、. Around 6000 years ago, people were forced onto higher ground in what are todays England and the Netherlands. The evidence of the ancient peoples presence can be found on the sea floor, where modern fishermen often find bones and tools that date back to about 9000 years ago. (18) Those studying Doggerland say the climate change faced by ancient people is similar to that we have now. (19) They say that a similar situation could affect the billions of people who live within 60 kilometers of a sea shore today if polar ice caps continue to melt at a rapid pace.
