known for was her scientific thinkingability.During World War II,Lamarr quietly co-invented the technology that would be theprecursor（前身）to Bluetooth,Wi-Fi and other systems we rely on today.She had a natural curiosity about the world around her.As young as 5,she would spend timetaking apart and rebuilding her music box to understand how it worked.At 16,she got her firstHim role and quickly became an international icon（偶像）.As her acting career continued totake off,World War II broke out.Lamarr became restless,feeling that she should do more tocontribute to the Allies war efforts.“Lamarr said that she did not feel very comfortable,sitting there in Hollywood and making lots of money when things were in such a state,”saysGeorge AntheilTogether with Antheil,Lamarr came up with a groundbreaking new form of wireless communicationknown as Spread Spectrum（频谱）.The concept was to create a wireless signal that could travelquickly from frequency to frequency.But the military refused to use it in their war efforts.The technology sat unused for years,until one day in the 1960s,the military accepted it andcalled the system“Spread like Wildfire”.3Hedy Lamarr played the role she was expected to play in Hollywood-a beautiful star on thebig screen.And without her,communication could look completely different today.Lamarrsexperience can serve as a reminder:Pursue your talents and

local countrypark,these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh from our stressed-out lives,and theirtherapeutic effect is being used more and more to treat mental health.As an example,in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in the UK,specialist therapy4sessions are held to help people who suffer from depression,anxiety and stress.Outdoorart-related activities are held for patients,but the setting alone has been credited withimproving the mood of patients.Art psychotherapist Pamela Stanley told the BBC that there wasa“growing body of evidence”to support eco-therapy.It s true that for most of us connecting with the natural world definitely lifts our spirits.But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type oftreatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor.It doesnt involve takingmedication,hut instead it just develops a person s relationship with nature.This natural remedyremedycan take on many forms,including doing yoga in a forest,gardening or even hugging a tree.Evidence has shown there are many benefits of this“green”therapy,including improvingsocial contact,social and work skills and coping abilities.Its what Dr.Rachel Bragg fromthe University of Essex calls“psychological restoration”.She told the BBCs All in the Mindprogramme that nature-based therapies should be part of a“toolkit”of care for patients.Of course,eco-therapy wont cure everything,but it is an option for therapists to use.And as we become more aware of the causes and effects of mental health,it s good to know thathelp might lie outside our towns and cities,and that nature can give us a helping hand.28.In what way does nature work in the therapeutic effect?A.It helps people get much relieved.B.It helps

Braggs attitude towards the eco-therapy?A.Unwilling.B.Negative.C.Neutral.D.Positive.DTechnologies like Artificial Intelligence,Big Data,GIS and Mapping,Location Technologyand autonomous machines are playing a growing role in responding to COVID-19 pandemic.An important policy for authorities across the globe right now is to prevent the spread ofthe virus.To ensure it,they are taking unprecedented（空 前 的）measures to reduce5people-to-people contact.Most countries took measures like the closure of non-essential publicplaces,ban of mass gatherings and ensuring a social distancing to limit physical contact.However,in some areas where individuals are not obeying the restrictions knowingly orunknowingly,or do not know what the latest restrictions are,law enforcing authorities are usingdrones（无人机）to monitor people s movement and break up social gatherings that could causea risk to society.The introduction of drones at this time of crisis is reducing the risk ofgetting infected to police officials and other staff since it enables them to monitor a vastrange of area without physical engagement.In addition to street monitoring,authorities are also using drones to broadcast messagesand information about lockdown measures,especially in rural area that lacks open communicationchannels for health information.Drones equipped with loudspeakers are used to make publicannouncements to keep people indoors,take necessary preventive measures,make social-distancingand wear a mask if stepping outside from home.A Global Times video on Twitter shows a drone flying over a village in Inner Mongolia,warningan old lady with audio in Chinese“Yes,Grandmother,its the drone who is talking to you.You should not go out without wearing a mask.Youd better go home and don t forget to washyour hands.”However,the use of drones raises a debate about privacy and individual rights on mainstreammedia as well as social media platforms.32.What role do drones play in responding to COVID-19 pandemic?A.Helping us know how COVID-19 spreads.B.Preventing the spread of the virus.C.Monitoring medical staff and collecting infected cases.D.Monitoring social activities and broadcasting lockdown measures.33.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Individuals are breaking the restrictions deliberately.B.Authorities dont know what the latest restrictions are.C.All people s social gatherings could threaten society.D.Police officials and other staff are at less risk with drones.34.Why is a Global Times video on Twitter mentioned in the text?A.To show drones work well without physical engagement.B.To show drones have positive effects but sometimes scary.C.To show people in rural area are curious about drones.D.To show people in rural area are resistant to drones.35.What might be discussed in the following paragraph?A.The great demand for drones.6B.Different comments on the use of drones.C.How to update drones.D.How to protect people s privacy and individual rights.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。In these days of highly-packaged products and non-stop junk mail,we all know that sendinghousehold waste to landfill is a really bad idea and that in an ideal world we would manage torecycle or reuse everything taking our landfill down to zero.36.ReduceReduce thethe stuffstuff inin37,the first step to reduce what we send to landfill is to consider reducing the amountof stuff that conies into our homes and offices each week.For a useful exercise,why not setup a journal to record everything you bring
