They can also be ranked by their openness and fr

10、iendliness toward visitors. You might be shocked to find out that, for example, the USA is number 102 on the list of the least welcoming places, 140 being the most unfriendly land.MongoliaMongolia was closed for quite some time and opened up to foreigners only 20 years ago. Thats probably the major

11、reason why it is not yet experienced enough in hosting tourists. The country is beautiful, with huge spacious areas of land that are low populated. There local people are not yet used to being visited by foreign guests.SlovakiaThere are, undoubtedly, pluses as well as minuses in every country. Slova

12、kia is not the perfect destination for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Slovakia is becoming more and more similar to the rest of European countries surrounding it. Sameness is not the best quality. As a rule, tourists want to travel and see things they have never seen before. It is good tha

13、t the lands countryside is still unique, although it is also being commercialized day by day.IranIran is not the best place to travel to. It is located close to Pakistan with its negative political atmosphere. Western visitors are not welcome over there and embassies (大使馆) advise against traveling t

14、o Iran. The population, contrary to the countrys government, consists of very friendly and welcoming people.KuwaitIn Kuwait people are warm and friendly. It has a unique history, plenty of traditions and customs. People respect their culture and are very religious. It is a Muslim country, which mean

15、s that you are not allowed to drink alcohol. If you happen to visit Kuwait during Ramadan, you will not be allowed to eat in public places, either.RussiaRussia is truly a special place. It is definitely worth visiting. What you might not find attractive is the corruption and bureaucracy (官僚主义) that

16、rule in some certain official circles. Another nuisance you should be ready for is that, as a visitor, youll be asked to receive an invitation. Only then will you be able to apply for a visa. Once you arrive in Russia, youll be warmly greeted and accepted by the local people.21.Youll meet friendly p

17、eople in the following countries except in _.A. IranB. KuwaitC. MongoliaD. Russia22.Which of the statements is true according to the text?A. You can apply for a visa for Russia at will.B. If youre fond of drinking, then Kuwait is not an ideal destination.C. Youre not advised to travel in Iran due to

18、 its high cost.D. Mongolia is a beautiful country with much experience in hosting tourists.23.Where does this passage probably come from?A. A news report. B. A lecture speech.C. An advertisement. D. A text book.B The worlds insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophi

19、c collapse of natures ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.“It should be of huge concern to all

20、 of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web. They pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects, ” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex

21、 in the UK.The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main drive of the decline, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many bird

22、s, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said, “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the

23、pitiful state of the worlds insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planets ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”24.What does “are hurtling down ” underlined mean?A. To climb very slow in a straight direct

24、ion.B. To move very fast in a particular direction.C. To become lower in value or level quickly.D. To speed up suddenly in a particular direction.25.According to the passage, _ doesnt cause the decline of the insects.A. intensive agricultureB. urbanizationC. climate changeD. pests control26.In Parag

25、raph 4, the author wants to stress the decline of insects_.A. by giving the examplesB. by making the comparisonC. by giving the definitionD. by making the explanation27.What is the main idea of the text?A. Sharply decreasing insects numbers threaten the damage of nature.B. The impacts will be brough

26、t by the insect loss.C. The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends.D. The leading factors that cause insects decline.CHow to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of lifes most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may

27、 feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of peoples social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to abou

28、t 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average persons friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 pe

29、ople. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who dont.So what should you do if your

30、 social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, dont refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of

31、 putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewi

32、ng inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever theyve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to peo

33、ple you dont know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting compan

34、ionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.28.From Paragraph 2, we can know that .A. a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB. real friendships are based on the exchange of

35、presentsC. peoples inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD. peoples social networks depend on their desire for companionship29.What does the author suggest to improve ones social life?A. Sharing secrets with close friends.B. Choosing likable people as friends.C. Avoiding the humble

36、 acquaintance.D. Spending time for deeper friendships.30.What is the passage mainly about?A. The tips on how to develop friendship.B. The reasons for seeking companionship.C. The benefits brought by a good social life.D. The relationship between friendship and happiness.31.The author helps readers b

37、etter understand his idea mainly by .A. using research resultsB. making comparisonsC. giving some examplesD. telling personal storiesD Last fall, I happened to overhear a student telling the others he had decided not to sign up for an introductory philosophy course. The demands of his major, he said

38、 seriously, meant he needed to take “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important.The students conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education. In a time of dizzying technologi

39、cal achievement and of rapid scientific innovation, sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle, the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction.Actually, I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course. I would have started

40、by reminding him that, for much of Americas history, college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy, literature, political theory and history. The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it means to

41、be alive and the definition of justice. Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the universitys function in society.I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market. It is true that many employers are looking for graduates with sp

42、ecialized technical skills, but they also look for other capabilities. As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm. All these skills are devel

43、oped in humanities courses.Further, I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs, it is not the only route. Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, who are among the many tech businesspersons wi

44、th degrees in the humanities, and who credit that training for their success.Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs, recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace, experiencing low rates of unemployment and rep

45、orting high levels of job satisfaction. The ratio between average median(中位数) incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business, engineering, and health and medical sciences degrees has been shown to narrow over the course of a career.The case for the humanities can also be understood in

46、 less transactional terms and more as a foundational preparation for a life well lived. A humanities education plays a vital role in encouraging citizens to lead an examined life. It fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, empathy and tolerance, the usefulness of which only becomes more apparent

47、 as one navigates lifes challenges.By all means, students should take courses they think practical and follow their interests, but if they also make a point of studying the literature of the Renaissance, or researching into modern poetry, or even taking introductory philosophy, we will all benefit.3

48、2.What does the students conversation show?A. Students feel employment difficult.B. Students think philosophy less important.C. Students find scientific innovation amazing.D. Students consider university courses unsatisfying.33.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Highly val

49、ued.B. Equally applied.C. Strictly assessed.D. Greatly improved.34.The author may agree that humanities _.A. discover students artistic abilityB. prepare students for graduationC. raise awareness of social statusD. provide great insights into life35.Which of the following shows the development of id

50、eas in the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Top 3 Self-Discipline TechniquesSelf-discipline is the key to leading a healthier, happier and more successful life, 36 .
