My husband and I were among a group of people who were about to meet their adopted children for the first time.Six months earlier, we received a call that a six-year-old boy called Saroo, from India, had been separated from his family and was available for adoption. The agency gave us a tiny passport picture of our little boy, and I cherished it as we waited to meet him.The moment I spotted Saroo, time stood still. “My son,” I whispered as my eyes welled with tears. “Im your mum.” Despite Saroos broken English, we communicated using hands and expressions. Days later, we made the journey from Melbourne back to our home in Tasmania to get Saroo settled.As weeks turned to months, his English started to improve with regular tutoring lessons. He told us his home had a dirt floor and no electricity. He said his oldest brother, Guddu, took him on a train, and when he woke up after a long time, Guddu was gone. Thats how he ended up in Howrah, Kolkata, where he was placed in state care. It was so sad to hear that.Whenever he told me something new, I wrote it down in a diary.Over the years, I asked Saroo if hed like to visit India and learn about his life before coming to Australia. “Its okay, Mum,” hed say.One day, my husband came home from work with some news. “Saroo has done something remarkable,” he started, explaining that for the past five years, Saroo had been trying to find his home village. Using my notes and the information we had about the first few years of his life, hed managed to track down his village and birth place using Google Maps. I was astonished, but also felt happy hed solved the mystery.Soon, the media caught wind of the story and we were flooded with calls from across the world. The next year, 60 Minutes took us to India, where I met Saroos birth mother, as part of a documentary. Later, a production company even approached us wanting to make a film about our lives. You never knew your impact on the world.24. What did the couple go to the airport for?A. To see off their son.B. To go abroad to travel.C. To meet their adopted child.D. To fetch a mailed passport25.

The words are not written in smoke by skywriting planes. The words are actually not in the sky at all. They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜).Computers have become smaller and smaller over the decades. The first computers filled houses. Transistors(晶体管) and then chips allowed computers to become small enough to fit on a desktop, then a laptop, and finally a phone. When experimenting with further reductions in size, developers often have to deal with the limits of human eyesight, which control how small the computers can be and still present visible information.One new solution employs microprojectors(微投影机) to create a readable display for tiny computers. These machines project computer information onto any surface. Though an impressive breakthrough, there are potential problems. Such public displays can lead to privacy concerns; Most people do not want their information displayed on a wall for everyone to see. Besides, these projectors are extremely expensive, and their screens give users headaches.Babak Parviz, a researcher at the University of Washington, created another solution: inventing a screen visible only to a person wearing a contact lens. Parviz created a computer in a contact lens that uses the wearers field of vision as the display. To create the display, Parviz took ordinary soft contact lenses with a wirelessly controlled system. At some point, Parviz says, it will be possible to connect the lens to a remote personal computer device such as cellphone or a laptop. By looking in a certain direction, the wearer sends the computer visual information about what he or she sees. The device then uses this information to point out the names of peaks.These contact lenses are inserted and removed in much the same way as ordinary contact lenses. In addition, the computers in the lenses wont block the wearers sight at all. Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems, Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress to that level.28. What can the contact lenses in the text do?A. Treat eyesight problems of the wearers.B. Offer beautiful views of nature to users.C. Project information on wall surface remotely.D. Show information about what wearers can see.29. According to Paragraph 3, what can the microprojectors do?A. Put peoples privacy at risk.B. Save computer information.C. Cause serious illnesses.D. Support users needs.30. What does the underlined part “that level” refer to in the text?A. Further reducing computers size.B. Creating the visual information.C. Treating eyesight problems.D. Blocking the wearers sight.31. What might be the best title for the text?A. Tiny Computers, Amazing Sights.B. Smaller Lenses, Closer Views.C. Progress Towards Clearness.D. Road to the Small World.DMore than half of the birds in Washington are at risk of extinction because of climate change. Thats according to a new national report from the Audubon Society, which gives detailed analysis of climate effects on about 600 species of North American birds.Its based on more than 140 million observations of birds across the US, Mexico and Canada. Audubon scientists looked at the likely effects of sea-level rise, urbanization, drought, extreme spring heat, increased fires, heavy rain and other factors.But it doesnt just spell out a doomsday scenario(世界末日). Instead, it offers a range of effects and warming, depending on how much carbon humans add to the atmosphere.“It is truly an existential threat(威胁), not only to birds but to people,” said Doug Santoni, board chair of Audubon Washington, who looked into the report as soon as it came out.Santoni says he was struck to see the vulnerability(脆弱)of a common “ backyard bird”, the dark-eyed junco. Its one that many first-time birders become familiar with as they learn how to identify species based on their markings and other traits. Currently in Washington, you can count on juncos to show up at your feeder, all year round. Extreme spring heat, increased fires and heavy rain are the kinds of changes that will force birds like these north, or kill them off if they fail to adapt.Trina Bayard, director of bird conservation at Audubons Washington chapter, says, “Its certainly a very serious warning report,” but adds that theres still hope. “If we can stabilize current temperatures and decrease our emissions(排放), we can really reduce the effects to these birds.thats very motivating.”32. What can we know about the new report?A. It analyses the species of birds in detail.B. Its issued by watching 600 bird species.C. It shows the end of North American birds.D. It reports the threat some birds are facing.33. What may Santoni probably agree with?A. Climate change is a threat only to birds.B. Its too late to take action to save the birds.C. The current situation of the birds is worrying.D. Its common that birds are affected by climate change.34. Which of the following can help these birds according to Trina?A. Lowering present temperatures.B. Reducing our daily emissions.C. Making them adapt to climate change.D. Encouraging people to protect them.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Climate change threatens many Washington bird speciesB. A new report about 600 species of North American birdsC. Different attitudes towards the situation of bird speciesD. Climate change makes different kinds of species at risk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。Things to Do Before You StudyMany students think about how to best spend their time while studying. But what comes before study sessions can be important too, especially if you want to improve your memory of what you have learned. 36 Lets look at each of these in turn.ExerciseBefore you study, doing cardiovascular exerciser(有氧训练) may help you better remember what you learn. High-intensity exercise may be especially helpful.In a 2018 study, researchers found that a group of young people who did 15 minutes of high-intensity training on a treadmill(跑步机) remembered more words. 37 The important idea is this: exercise is good for your memory. Even if you cannot exercise right before a study session, it is still probably a good idea to be active in general.Location 38 While it is good to have a desk or a special study area, some research suggests that changing where you study could help you remember more of what you study.Our memories sometimes depend on things in our environment. For example, a book might remind you of something interesting or strange you learned while reading it. 39 You could study in your room, and then the next day you could study in the kitchen, or outside. You do not have to change locations every day, but try to at least sometimes.Pre-study testStudents often study with a test in mind. They consider the test the final step to show how much they have learned. 40 Testing is one of the best ways to make yourself remember new information.In 2018 researchers found that students who took a test before learning new material did much better after studying the material. So, try to take a pre-study test You could look at some important words at the end of a chapter of an English book, for example. And you could ask yourself what they mean, or how they are used. While you might not know the answer, you will probably be better able to learn and remember the answer when you study it!A. In practice, students need to test themselves often.B. Location is also important for improving your learning.C. Therefore, be sure to plan your location before you start to study.D. Environmental context played a big part in how well people remembered words,E. Researchers have suggested combining the two to get the best effects for your memory.F. Some studies have also shown high-intensity exercise plays an essential part in improving the memories of older people.G. Three important elements should be taken into consideration before studying.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（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。Weve all been there before: Youre driving down the road when suddenly a pothole(凹坑) seems to appear out of nowhere and sends the 41 jumping. Most people think potholes are 42 , but artist Jim Bachor sees them as a canvas(画布) for his artwork.Bachor uses the 43 art form of mosaic(马赛克) to create eye-catching, colorful images of famous artists like Aretha Franklin or simple everyday 44 like food. He even makes less-appealing visuals of insects.Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his 45 in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers. While 46 in Italy, Bachor fell in love with Pompeii, the preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed out a mosaic, made of mainly glass and marble, and told Bachor, “Glass and marble dont 47 . So, this looks essentially the way the artist intended.” Bacho
