No town in Britain is more than eighty miles from the sea and there are seaside resorts all round the coast. On a summer Sunday most of the roads that lead to the sea axe congested (拥挤) with cars full of people eager to get a breath of sea air. In the evening when everyone is full of food, ice-cream and lollypops, there is the long slow drive home on roads crowded with returning cars.BrightonBrighton is one of the best-known south coast resorts and is very popular for day trip excursions. It is only fifty miles from London and can be reached by fast train in an hour. At the weekend the pebbled beaches are thronged with people sunbathing or picking their way to the waters edge for a dip.BournemouthLocated a hundred miles from London, the beaches are wide and sandy. White houses line the cliff tops and narrow valleys, densely wooded with pine trees, reach down to the shore. The area near to the town of Torquay on the Devon coast is sometimes called Britains Riviera and the climate is so mild that palm trees grow along the sea front.BlackpoolOn the north-west coast, a popular resort for the people in the industrial north, Blackpool is a gay, noisy town, famous for its amusement facilities and the magical lights. At night people travel from miles around to see the extravaganza of lights decorating the sea front.SouthendOn the east coast at the mouth of the Thames, Southend is, like Brighton, one of the favorite resorts of Londoners. The pier here is the longest in Britain and offers a great variety of differing entertainments.21. Why do people often have a long slow drive home on roads in summer?A.

She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mothers dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of workfinancially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didnt want to own it.”Yet Laqueurs disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passiontelling stories through writingmade the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writers Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize.“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom, she says. “If you work with traditional publishing, its more about whats marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and Im cool with that.”24. From Paragraph 2，we can learn that Laqueur _.A. was a part-time writer when she was youngB. didnt like teaching dancing in factC. wanted to own a publishing houseD. was interested in running her mothers studio25. What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?A. Her mothers persuasion.B.The desire to make moneyC. Self-publishing her novels.D. Her own passion toward art.26. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “stole the show” in Paragraph 4?A. became a failure.B. was shown to people.C. got all the attention.D. was accidentally stolen.27. What can be inferred from what Laqueurs said?A. Self-publishing will replace traditional publishing.B. She will never use traditional publishing.C. Traditional publishing only focuses on the market.D. She enjoys the way of self-publishing.CWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the worlds first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just anavatarthat appears on the students desktop, or smartphone screen, whenordered to come.Theautonomousanimation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it toshowhuman-like behavior. The digital teacher is assignedto teach Vectors “Besustainablewith energy” a free program for Auckland elementary schools. Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbalcues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students attention, but also allows the programs developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the nextgeneration. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What wasfascinatingto me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. 28.

They could get close to smartphone screen.29. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.30. Whats Ravishankars attitude to Wills replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful. C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.31. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The Worlds First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The Worlds First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD. New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in ClassroomsDAccording to a recent study, a new genetically modified rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS.The study reports the newly-developed rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly two-thirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease.The new study predicts the rice-based method will lead to long-term use of the anti-HIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the “groundbreaking” discovery is “realistically the only way” that anti-HIV combination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIV-fighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people. 32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.B. Provide some data about HIV. C. Remind readers of HIV prevention.D. Introduce HIV to the public. 33. In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost? A. By transforming it into proteins. B. By adding it to an oral drug.C. By attaching it to the HIV virus. D. By processing it into a cream. 34. What can we infer about the genetic engineering process? A. It can prevent infections of HIV. B. It can produce dangerous chemicals.C. It still requires perfecting. D. It applies to the developed world.35. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A social webpage.D. A first aid brochure.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。Choose your food wisely and you can add years to your life.
