known as“Double Eleven”,started out as a day to celebratesingles symbolized by the four number ones on the date of November 11.With time that meaning has changed.In 2009,Chinas e-commerce leader Alibaba set the day as alucky shopping day for online sales as the date was both easy to remember and perfectly timed as it hitbetween the consumer spending lull（间歇）between National Day and Chinese New Year.It soon becamea hit,and Double Eleven became a buying frenzy（疯狂）spread across the worlds second largesteconomy.In 2019,the Double Eleven Shopping Festival entered its eleventh year.During this decade,Alibaba,Chinese e-commerce giant,and other e-commerce platforms,together with consumers,have co-created avery big shopping event whose heat has swept the world.Foreign readers share their ideas on Singles Dayin China:GhostBuster（UK）:I think Double Eleven is unbelievable.It is not a religious festival that people ofthe same religion but living in different countries share.As an e-commerce faithful fan,I really love theshopping festival.Emanreus（Australia）:I work in Shanghai.Many of my young female colleagues are still single.Theysimply havent time to date,as they tend to work long hours then travel two hours by subway to get to andfrom work.Singles Day is a day when they give themselves a treat with online shopping.Blonde Amber（Ireland）:There is nothing to be proud of to be in a country that spends so much onlineon a particular day.It does nothing more than show the superficiality（肤浅）of the temporary pleasure ofshopping,and produces nothing more than a mountain of environmental waste.I bet there is plenty ofbuyers deep regret after this day.lonstar（US）:Singles Day became a big deal for Valentines Day not for the singles!Well,Alibabas11.11 has become more famous and important than that of Black Friday and Cyber Monday!21.Alibaba set the festival on November 11 mainly b e c a u s e.A.it is a traditionally lucky dayB.it is a time for people to stay singleC.many

heat wave scorched the nation and caused fires around the capital.During the day,at least 34 places across the country broke the previous record.Several blazes brokeout across London-including a large fire in a residential area.London Mayor Sadiq Khan said on Twitterthat the fire brigade was under immense pressure/and warned citizens to stay safe.Tuesday has been the second successive day of extremely hot weather in the nation.The U.K.government has declared a national emergency,while the national meteorological（气象的）service,theMet Office,started its first-ever“red extreme heat warning“across England.Nationwide,schools and summer camps have closed,hospitals have canceled routine visits andtransport has been disrupted,with many railways and the London subway system urging customers to stayat home.The heat warped（使变形）runways at U.K.airports on Monday,forcing Luton Airport to stop allflights until early evening.The Met office has warned against melting asphalt（沥青）on roads and hasadvised citizens not to travel.“In this country were used to treating a hot spell as a chance to go and play in the sun,“said PennyEndersby,chief executive at the Met Office,in a press release.This is not that sort of weather.”Scientists have warned that climate change is likely to make weather of this severity more common.Dr.Friederike Otto,a climate scientist at Imperial College London,said,It would have been almostimpossible to see temperatures of 40 degrees in London without climate change.”24.What do we know about the heat in U.K.according to the passage?A.No more than 34 places broke the previous temperature record.B.Tuesday was the first day of extremely hot weather in the country.C.The highest temperature readings was over 104 degrees Celsius.D.Some fires broke out

outside in the sun.B.Climate has changed and caused burning weather.C.This kind of climate is less likely to happen again.D.This weather is not suitable to outdoors activities.27.What does the underlined word“scorched“mean in the first paragraph?A.Flooded.B.Blew.C.Burned.D.Warmed.CIn a classic episode of The Simpsons,Homers class reunion ends in shame when one of Homersguilty secrets is exposed:he never graduated from high school.To get his diploma,he must pass a sciencetest.As he sits down to retake the exam,he holds one of his trademark dialogues with his brain.4A11 right,brain.You don9t like me and I dont like you.But lefs just do this and I can get back to killing you withbeer.”Many a true word is spoken as a joke.Homer Simpsons Everyman character really is an Everyman.For most people,engaging in the kind of effortful thinking that is required to pass a science test feels toomuch like hard work.It is so much easier to quit and let the brain?s autopilot take over.And no wonder.Evolution has blessed the human brain with all kinds of mental shortcuts 捷径 thatmake life manageable.If we had to think about every action or weigh up every decision,we would breakdown.As a result,certain ideas and modes of thinking come naturally to us,such as effortless thinking.But at huge cost.Our mental shortcuts work fine at the level of individuals and small-scale societies,but inan increasingly interconnected and globalized world,they are a danger to society.Effortless thinking is atthe root of many of the modem worlds most serious problems:terrorism,hatred,inequality and religiousextremism.All are caused by people disengaging their critical thinking and going with their gut 俳 理 性的）feeling.Everybody is capable of gut feeling,but also of the critical thinking.Both thinking styles are needed tomake the world go round.Unfortunately,the latter requires training that is unavailable or unappealing tomany people.One of the bright spots in 2017 was the start of a movement called the March For Science.Those whobelieve in the power of science need to keep on marching,or give more power to people who dont muchlike their own brains or other peoples.28.What does the author want to convey through Homers story?A.Feeling is very important.B.Drinking beer is harmful to ones brain.C.High school seniors should work hard.D.Most people hate effortful thinking like Homer.29.How do you read between the lines of the underlined sentence according to the passage?A.Most people would rather tell jokes than tell the truth.B.Most people dont want to toil 苦干 through scientific tests.C.Most people would love to have their brains controlled by a pilot.D.Most people like Simpsons ordinary character are willing to think simple.30.What does the author think of critical thinking?A.It makes the world go round.B.It needs necessary training.C.It works fine at the level of personal affairs.D.It leads to the March For Science in 2017.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Critical Thinking Is Urgently NeededB.Effortless Thinking Is Out of DateC.We Need to March Towards ScienceD.Thinking Contributes to Social ProblemsDA team of students from Stanford University are making efforts to launch a satellite poweredexclusively by water into orbit（轨道）around the Mars.These creative students are now attending a competition called the Future Space Challenge,which isheld annually by NASA,the American space agency to find more talents in space.The Stanford teamnames itself the SuperLunar Explorers.The principle behind the competition is simple:to think,design,build and launch qualified smallsatellites.NASA officials required that the satellites must be able to perform advanced operations nearand beyond the moon.”Twenty teams are competing for the championship.But the SuperLunar Explorer satellites are totallydifferent.They use only water to power their spacecraft,which has never been done before.Such a novel idea fbr a water-powered satellite came from Peckon Lewis,who works at StanfordUniversity now,who once worked as NASAs chief technologist.He has always been wondering whethersomething other than rockets can be used to push spacecraft beyond earth.4A lot of things we send intospace these days is with the help of rockets the only way we get anything into space,“he said,in aStanford press release.But if we could try something that has been already there?If we could do that,ifwe could re-fuel spacecraft while theyre already in space.”The spacecraft is designed with the shape of the English letter L.It is about 30 centimeters in length,and the two pieces are interconnected.The lower part of the satellite is designed to store water,which willbe separated by solar panel into two elements:hydrogen and oxygen.When one combines hydrogen andoxygen with a spark（火花），an explosion was caused.This provides a forward movement,known asthrust.The SuperLunar Explorer team has devised a special way to guide its spacecraft.The idea is toimitate how sailors in ancient times used the moon,sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans.Thesatellite is equipped with cameras in all directions.The cameras will shoot pictures of the sun,the earthand the moon and compare their positions and their sizes.Based on where the sun,moon and earth are atany given time,the SuperLunar Explorers will find their position in a mathematic way.The Future Space Challenge is divided into four rounds.The Stanford team has been among the topfour competitors during rounds one and two.The winners of the fourth round will be publicized in about amonth.The final three winners will be announced in early 2023.They will get to ride on NASAs spacelaunch system in early 2024.32.The essential part of the competition“the Future Space Challenge is.A.to think,design,build and deliver a qualified-small satellite.B.to launch a satellite to take a watery flight to the moon.C.to launch a satellite powered only by water into an orbit around the moon.D.to make the satellite perform advanced operations near and beyond the moon.33.What does Peckon Lewis want to do at Stanford University according to the passage?A.To ban using rockets fbr the sake of safety.B.To use something already in space as power.C.To design a water-powered vehicle to push spacecraft.D.To try using water in space to push spacecraft.34.It can be inferred from the passage t hat.A.there is a lot of rubbish of rockets and satellites in the orbit these days.B.the explosion of the combination of hydrogen and oxygen provides power.C.a water-powered satellite will soon be sent into the orbit around the moon.D.the team members of the SuperLunar Explorers are the students of Peckon Lewis.35.What would be the best title of the passage?A.A Water-Powered Flight to the Moon.B.A Competition for Water-Powered Satellite.C.A Spacecraft Powered by Water.D.A Design of Water-Powered Space Journey.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。Comfort foods are typically energy-dense,high-fat,and sweet,such as chocolate,ice cream andFrench fries.They provide pleasure or
