The envelope bore the logo of the closest big-city paper, the Toledo Blade.When I opened it, I read, “ Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.”It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could not have been more exciting. I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Dons note and walk on air again.Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”Why are upbeat note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood, sound old-fashioned or flattering. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, appreciated, and treasured.What does it take to write notes that lift spirits and hearts? Perhaps just a desire and a willingness to express our appreciation. The most successful people write notes that are short on words and long on feeling, sincere, short, specific, and usually spontaneous (自发的) in nature.It is difficult to be spontaneous, however, when you have to hunt for letter writing materials; so, keep paper, envelopes, and stamps close at hand, even when you travel. Fancy stationery(文具) is not necessary; its the thought that counts.So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or your doctor? You do not need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, a birthday, or holiday, and do not hold back your praise. Such words as “greatest” “smartest” “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praises run a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled.1.What kind of feeling did the author have after he read the letter from Don Wolfe?A.Inspired.B.Worry.C.Shock.D.Unhappy.2.According to the author, many people dont write upbeat notes mainly because they are _.A.afraid of being out of dateB.too shy to flatter othersC.prepared to make phone callsD.too concerned about what others think3.It can be learned from the last paragraph that _.A.praises often run ahead of realityB.praises help in pursuing a dreamC.parents often write upbeat notesD.parents expect childrens success4.Which is the best title for the passage?A.The Power of a Positive NoteB.Notes Help to Fulfill DreamsC.The Necessity of Writing NotesD.Note or Phone, Your Own ChoiceC Albert Einstein single-handedly changed the universe 100 years ago. For centuries, Isaac Newton's straightforward formulas ruled the universe or at least how physicists thought about it. Any object with mass caused an attractive force on any other object with mass; the bigger the masses, and the closer the two objects, the stronger the attraction. Simple. But in 1915,Einstein suggested that things were a bit trickier. Even Einstein had to labor for almost a decade to formulate the complex mathematical relationships behind his work, his own version of gravity: the general theory of relativity. Gravitational attraction, it turned out, was due to nothing less than the bending of the space. A massive object actually bends the 3-D structure of the space around it, taking any smaller objects in the close area along for the ride. This results in familiar phenomena like orbiting moons, planets and stars, as well as some stranger effects like cosmic ripples(宇宙涟漪) and black holes. And, surprise, it turns out that Einstein was right .But, even after a century of confirmation, physicists' growing technological signposts mean they are still eager to push the theory, anxious to see if it holds up. The rest of his life, Einstein tried to combine all the known forces of the universe(including his version of gravity) into one simple set of rules, but the answer fled him. Some 60 years after his death, scientists still hope to unify the forces. Testing relativity might just turn up a key clue in the quest. Physicists may be able to do what Einstein never could if they find out where, if ever, nature begins to disagree with general relativity. Whatever it was that fueled Einstein's insights into the universe whether it was an extraordinary brain or just the way he looked at the world his work has lasted at least 100 years undefeated. Maybe it always will. But perhaps, in the next 100,someone else will have changed the universe once more.1.What does the underlined word "unify" mean in the last paragraph?A.ceaseB.integrateC.displayD.adopt2.Where might you read this passage?A.in a story bookB.in a fictionC.in a journalD.in a recipe3.According to the text,which of the following phenomena is not caused by gravity?A.black holesB.orbiting satellitesC.cosmic ripplesD.wormholes4.What can we learn from the passage?A.Einstein successfully explained his version of gravity on the shoulder of Newton.B.There's no chance that anyone could do better than Einstein in a century.C.The closer two objects get,the less the attraction will be.D.General relativity is already out-dated.DYear 2020 would seem to be the year of healthy eating. People are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet , and some have even give up animal products entirely by going vegan .But Joe Rogan , the most popular podcast(播客) host in the US, said No to this trend and comically proclaimed(宣称) January 2020 as “World carnivore(食肉动物) month”. Starting in January , he ate only meat for 30 days without any carbohydrates(碳水化合物) , vegetables or fruit .The podcaster tried the diet after Jordan Peterson, a psychologist, claimed the diet could raise energy levels and mental health, according to the Business Insider. Rising to the challenge, Rogan posted regular updates about his diet on popular US social platform Instagram. With just two meals a day, breakfast would be six eggs or a steak, and dinner would include either another steak, such as beef , fish or liver.After 30 days, Rogan said he “felt amazing “.He also wrote , “ I lost 12 pounds (5.4kg). Lots of pains went away. My energy was constant, and I have improvements in my vitiligo - I went into this illness, thinking that this carnivore diet was kind of strange , but this is as good as I ve felt in a long time.”Despite its positive results, some have criticized the diets limitation. Linda Van Horn , chief nutrition expert at Northwestern University , said that studies consistently show that a high-quality diet with enough nutrients is associated with “a better quality of life , longevity(长寿) and reduced risk of chronic(慢性的) diseases .”She added that the energy rise people claim to feel from the carnivore diet is probably not because of the meat. Instead, she said kicking carbohydrates and sugar causes weight loss and it makes people feel better.While the carnivore diet may offer you some benefits, eating a balanced diet will afford you more health benefits than consuming a single food group, according to Healthline. So be careful !1.How did Rogan respond to the vegan trend?A.He gave up animal products entirely.B.He started to eat only meat for 30 days.C.He helped promote it on his podcast.D.He suggested an annual celebration of “World carnivore month”.2.According to Linda Van Horn, why do people feel better from the carnivore diet?A.They get constant energy from it.B.The meat in the diet improve their mental health.C.The diet helps them relieve their aches and pains.D.They achieve weight loss without eating carbohydrates and sugar.3.What can we conclude from the text?A.Further studies will be done on the carnivore diet.B.Sticking to a more balanced diet is still the wisest choice.C.The carnivore diet is more beneficial than a vegetarian diet.D.The carnivore diet will become a trend in the future.4.What attitude does the writer hold towards “the carnivore diet”?A.SupportiveB.OpposedC.CautiousD.Doubtful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。Maybe you live in places where English is not the main language. When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating things from your first language into English,which can also sound unnatural. _ It is not very difficult, but it does take conscious effort and practice.Think in single words. Charles Thomas has taught English to Union members, children and teenagers for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are._ Think in sentences.For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, ''It' s such a beautiful day" and ''People are playing sports with their friends." _ Think in conversation. This is a great way to practice what you might say in a real conversation. For example, let' s say the imaginary person asks you a question like, ''What did you think of the talk show last night?" _ Imagine the conversation and practice it in your head. You can do this out loud or in silence._ ''When you're doing it every day, over and over again, little by little, that's the key. Because when you make things a habit, it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English, '' Thomas says.A.Practice it daily.B.How would you answer?C.Speak English with a native speaker.D.As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.E.Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.F.Once this becomes easy, move on to more difficult sentences.G.The good news is that thinking in English will bring you closer to fluency!第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I was catching a flight from Calcutta to Madras and had arrived at the airport rather early. I had always thought of airports as 1 places until I saw a young couple sitting a few seats away from me, and 2 the woman was crying. I realized that though airports were places of delightful 3 , they could also be about difficult departure.The young man who looked obviously connected to the woman didnt even try to 4 her. After a certain amount of 5 , I walked over with a Smile Stonea small marble with a smile 6 on itin my hand and said, “Excuse me, can I give this to you?” And I held out one of the sky-blue Smile Stones. Tears filled 7 eyes. “Why?” she wanted to know. “To make you smile.” She took it quickly and 8 a quick, grateful smile.Later as my bag was going through the security 9 , a uniformed, unsmiling young lady pulled my backpack onto aside table and started unceremoniously (毫不客气地) unzipping (拉开拉链) its various sections and 10 the contents in the mildly aggressive 11 that airport security staff sometimes have. When she put her 12 quickly into the front pocket, she came up with a handful of smile stonesthey smiled at her 13 and her face gently broke into a smile. The whole 14 of her interaction with my backpack and with me shifted in that second. I pulled out one of the s milestones and said, “This is for you, to 15 you to keep smiling.”1.A.public B.painful C.happy D.social2.A.noticed B.knew C.learned D.imagined3.A.travel B.arrival C.work D.relaxation4.A.accompany B.consult C.convince D.comfort5.A.delay B.effort C.caution D.hesitation6.A.pinned B.drawn C.fastened D.fixed7.A.puzzled B.excited C.scared D.embarrassed8.A.flashed B.forced C.hid D.kept9.A.challenge B.protection C.check D.service10.A.packing up B.referring to C.looking through D.sorting out11.A.form B.manner C.spirit D.voice12.A.uniform B.hand C.head D.wallet13.A.shyly B.eagerly C.bravely D.cheerfully14.A.situation B.climate C.environment D.atmosphere15.A.urge B.warn C.remind D.persuade第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A long time ago, a little boy was w
