come in from public organizations and helpful people.A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会)will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang.The whole

it.The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030-a move that experts say could offer relief from the citys hot weather.Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements.Architect Stefano Boeris Vertical Forest residential(居民的)tower,completed in 2014,aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents.Boeri created a smallisland of greenery in the heart ofMilan,filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today.It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change,because everyone can plant trees,Boeri said.Damiano Di Simine,a member of the environmental group Legambiente,said the greenMilanproject will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area.City show thatMilanexperiences 35 hot nights a year.Because the city lies close to theAlps,Milin gets very little wind to lower the citys temperatures.Planting trees will help this,Di said.TheVerticalForesthas attracted more than 20 species of birds.And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning,even in hot summers.TheVerticalForests total greenery-can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year.The

looking to Chinese tourists for its high-endmarket,according to Rafael Cascales,president of the Spain-China Tourism Association(ATEC).“It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun,beach and the“all-included”culture.They enjoy culture,wine,history and nature,and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain,said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.“They are younger,more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan(见多识广的).They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups.The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared,but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55he said.Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists,Cascales said,“The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline,the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.”In his eyes,“Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things:there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else almost four times more than tourists from other countries.They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt,but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year,according to Cascales.In 2017,Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world,only after France.It attracted about 82 million visitors,700,000 of them from China,a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.“We are ready;we have the infrastructure(基础设施)at every level,especially in hotel capacity.Here those visitors can find what they are looking for,including the luxury items which distinguish them,”Cascales noted.12.What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?A.They are cautious about spending money in Spain.B.They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.C.They are only interested in the sun and beach.D.They are mainly male visitors of middle age.13.What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?A.They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.B.They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.C.They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.D.They will spend the money in different cities.14.What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?A.Local cultures in Spain are promoted.B.Well-furnished hotels are provided.C.Best and expensive items are offered for free.D.More shopping sites are constructed.15.What is the purpose of this text?A.To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.B.To show Spains desire to attract Chinese tourists.C.To describe the features of Chinese tourists.D.To advertise Spain as a top tourist destination.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 When germs,such as bacteria or viruses,invade the body,they attack and multiply.36 The immune system uses several tools to fight infection（感染）.Blood contains red blood cells,for carrying oxygen to tissues and organs,and white or immune cells,for fighting infection.These white cells consist primarily of macrophages（巨噬细胞）,B cells and T cells.Macrophages swallow up and digest germs,plus dead and dying cells.They leave behind parts of the invading germs called antigens（抗原）.37 B cells are defensive white blood cells which produce antibodies.T cells are also defensive white blood cells.They attack cells in the body that have already been infected.The first time the body comes across a germ,it can take several days to make and use all the germ fighting tools needed to get over the infection.After the infection,the immune system remembers what is learned about how to protect the body against that disease.38 They help develop immunity by imitating an infection.This type of infection,however,almost never causes illness,but it does cause the immune system to produce T cells and antibodies.Sometimes,after getting a vaccine（疫苗）,the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms.For instance,a fever.39 Once the imitation infection goes away,the body is left with a supply of defensive cells that will remember how to find that disease in the future.40 Therefore,itis possible that a person infected with the disease just before or just after vaccination could develop symptoms and get a disease,because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.A.Vaccines basically work the same way.B.This invasion,called an infection,is what causes illness.C.Vaccines prevent diseases that can be dangerous,or even deadly D.Scientists take many different approaches to developing vaccines.E.The body identifies them as dangers and excites antibodies to attack them.F.Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.G.However,it typically takes a few weeks for the body to produce those defensive cells after vaccination.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 When I was in seventh grade,I was a candy striper(志愿当护士助手的小姑娘)at a local hospital in my
