A.$3479.B.$3749.C.$7498.D.$ 11247.(B)The universe likes to be shy about its age,but astronomers believe they have a pretty good idea of the range.Currently,the most widely accepted age for the universe is around 13.8 billion years,but determining the age of.well,everything,is no easy feat(功绩).Now.new studies have investigated the question using different methods-and they've come up with two different answers,separated by more than a billion years.Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating pace,the further away an object is,the faster it appears to be moving away from us.This is expressed as the Hubble constant (合勃常数),and it's a key factor in figuring out the age of the universe.After all.if we can determine how fast moving away from us,we can rewind that process to its beginning-the Big Bang.Researchers from the University of Oregon set out to map the distance to dozens of galaxies The team calculated that the universe is only 12.6 billion years old-that,you might notice is much younger than the 13.8 years usually stated.In the second study,the method of figuring out the age of the universe is by mapping the oldest light we can detect. We are restoring the 'baby photo* of the universe to its original condition, removing the wear and tear of time and space that distorted(扭曲)the image,says Neelima Sehgal,co-author on the study.Only by seeing this sharper baby photo or image of the universe can we more fully understand how our universe was born."In doing so, the researcher determined that the universe is 13.8 billion years old-in agreement with the accepted age.The real problem thoughts that the studies disagree so wildly with each other, to the tune of a billion years.But they are not the only ones-the battle lines are commonly drawn by the methods used. Obviously.more research is heeded to determine where the truth lies.( )4.What do we know about the universe from the first two paragraphs?A.It doesn't exist long.B.It becomes larger.C.It runs away.D.It causes the Big Bang.( )5.What makes the researchers in the first study think the universe is much younger?A.The speed of moving objects.B.The number of galaxies.C.The process of the universe evolution.D.The distance to other objects.( )6.How does Neelima Sehgal explain their method in the second study?A.By referring to a similar thing.B.By using hard scientific data.C.By introducing a new concept.D.By quoting an expert's words.()7.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Whose method is better?B.Which result can you believe?C.How old is the universe?D.Why is the universe so old?(C)Did you know that the average child has heard the wordHno,over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The4Cterrible twosnare categorized by a lack of understanding. Some where between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful,the children will watch us model a world of " NOs”.By the time a person turns eighteen,how many times have they been told no?I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic,but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three,then at eighteen that number has multiplied.You can do the math.Anyway,! think I know why we say no.We say no to protect.We say no to direct.We say no to stop potential confusion.However,do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no?Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the"NOs”we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run into people with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder.They have to take on the 20,000 NOs.However,the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES!Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner,it only takes one word to change the course of your day.That word is YES!()8.What do we know about two-year- olds?A.They understand well.B.They often say no to others.C.They think logically.D.They don*t do all they're told.( )9.What effect does saying no have on children?A.They lose all their dreams.B.They aren't easy to succeed.C.They don*t make mistakes.D.They never say yes to others.()10.Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of'NOsn?A.Tolerant.B.Disapproving.C.Favourable.D.Carefree.()11. What is the text?A.A how-to guide. B.A survey report. C.An opinion essay. D.A short story.(D)I'm Jeff Logan,president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation.Fm very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk ofclosing permanently(永久).That*s something we would hate to see happen.Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time. We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children.A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community.Its a place where we all gather,no matter what our interests,and no matter what ages,young and old,rich and poor.But how much longer will classic theaters remain open?Just like other industries,movie theater shave been hit hard by the pandemic(流行病)and are going dark.The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic,because the studios don't want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.As we all know,the theaters can*t do well and can't get back to full 7-day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.Recently,the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends.However,like many theaters,it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity.Since opening,several new safety measures have been put in place.Block off every other row.People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group.Staff spray the theater with disinfectant(消毒齐U) after every show.And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.Even so,some people still aren*t comfortable going to a movie theater yet.I fully understand that.Anyhow,! just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters,!ike taking part in a new national proposal callednSave Your Cinema.” ( )12.What does the underlined wordnfabricnin paragraph 2 refer to?A.Typical feature.

Youth is the most valuable time of life. HChen Duxiu, one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, once wrote the Spirit of Youth.16. During this time, habits and interests that will continue for the rest of your life are formed and developed-so it's important to get off to a good start.But what is the spirit of youth? It*s a time to begin the process of self-reliance and self-motivation. Sure, you might have parents and friends to help you. 17. It builds your character and makes you independent, a necessity to get through the challenges of life. No one can force you to get good grades or get the perfect job-those responsibilities are yours and yours alone. Only you can be the author of your own life.When times get tough, please be persevering. Train yourself to be strong. Tell yourself that you can summon （召 唤）the will to overcome whatever obstacles come your way. Anything worth doing isn't easy. 18. In the end, conquering a difficult task is always worth it, and you can thank perseverance for guiding you there.Work hard. There's nothing better than relaxing at the end of a long day, knowing that you did all you could do for yourself, your family and friends, and your community. Be a person that others admire. Do the work that others won't and never complain. The process of working hard will teach you valuable lessons along the way； most importantly, it will teach you that failure is inevitable （不可避免的）but isn't something you should ever allow to hold you back. 19. Following these principles will surely bring success in school, work and life in general. Listen to the spirit of youth inside you and follow your instincts. 20. A. Youth is a state of mind.B. Change your strategy and try again.C. It's best to learn that lesson early.D. Be self-reliant, persevere through hard times and always work hard to achieve your dreams.E. Dealing with obstacles is not that easy.F. Youth is a relatively brief period in a man's life.G. But ultimately, you must rely on yourself.二、语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20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。Jade lives in Australia, a country famous for kangaroos, but not for snow.

But 37 recent survey shows the trend toward westward movement is even 38 (strong) than expected-in some cases, species have shifted their ranges to west by as much as 73 percent.The survey shows that roughly threequarters of the 86 tree species 39 (survey) have shifted their population centers westward 40 1980.Obviously, trees aren't uprooting 41 (them) and moving elsewhere.The survey provides insight into general population trends as young trees continue to take root in westward land, while some of the older 42 (plant) of the species in the eastern areas are slowly dying out.In this way, the center of a species' range can gradually shift over time.Though scientists aren't sure 43 is causing this change, the publishers of the study think that it's connected to rainfall.
