They traversed (横穿）cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia.Peter, 66, said the moment when they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn't fly home but instead chose to book a cabin(舱) inside a 400-meter-long ship.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is unbelievable,” Peter said.At first Peter and Chris set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple with food and drinks.

The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air.Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the technique more popular. The technique could make a big difference in places like the city of Abeokuta. Violent conflicts and desertification-the process by which rich land becomes deserts-have made huge amounts of land unsuitable for farming.Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria's smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. “We are putting an end to seasonal food shortage in Nigeria,” said Ogbole. “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires-we are not depending on seasons. So it's no longer seasonal farming. It is just farming any time of the year, meaning you can plant any time of the year. We can harvest any time of the year,” said Ogbole.But setting up the aeroponic farm was not easy. “It required more than $180,000,” Ogbole said. And, some people in Abeokuta were very much against this non-traditional method of farming. “It took a lot of effort to change people's minds about aeroponics,” said Ogbole.In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares（公顷）of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 million hectares required for food security. Violent conflicts and desertification are the top reasons why the farmland is being lost. And only 49 percent of the land is rich. Besides, most farmers do not have the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They are also in need of high-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests.For now, technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.28. What is special about aeroponics?.A. Crops are not grown in soil. B. Crops can grow all by themselvesC. Crops without roots can grow well. D. Crops can grow well without water.29. Why is aeroponics especially important to Abeokuta?A. Because there are not many farmers there.B. Because there isn't plenty of rich land there.C. Because many farmers there are terribly violent.D. Because farmers there are thirsty for farming techniques.30. What does the new method enable farmers to do?A. Reduce the cost of farming. B. Produce crops of higher quality.C. Grow crops whenever they like. D. Keep crops fresh for a longer period.31. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?A. A new method of growing cropsB. Ways to turn deserts into rich landC. Techniques for developing high-quality seedsD. The importance of fighting against worldwide hungerDSmartphones are perhaps one of the things we like most or least. While they create a shared and communicative digital(数字的）experience, their use also greatly reduces the amount of direct communication we have. So, while we feel closer than ever through smartphones, research shows that we're actually lonelier than ever.We see this situation most commonly among the youth who were born into the digital age. Phones have increased the level of isolation(孤立). Janet Behrens, principal of Iowa Valley Junior-Senior High School, noticed it in the lunchroom, where students had their heads down looking at their phones and had little conversation with each other.Then, she created a lunchroom policy, which requires all students to leave their phones behind during Friday lunches and sit at a table with students they may not know. During Friday lunches, kids pick a card that shows which lunch table they will be sitting at that day. Each table provides ideas for conversation starters, in case students have trouble thinking of things to talk about with kids they might not know.Anyone who knows teens knows that they are likely to refuse to follow this kind of forced socialization(合群). So they may not quickly agree with such an idea. However, the new program is different. After taking a few weeks to get used to the new program, kids are kinder to each other and they actually look forward to Friday lunch hour. Sahara Kanke, a ninth grader, said, “I think it's fun. I was a bit confused when I first knew the program. But I like doing it now. People are nicer to each other now because they got to know each other at lunch.”Policies like this are important. ABC News reported that students who use phones and computers less during class scored half a grade higher than students with smartphones. Due to the advantages of reducing smartphone use among the youth, schools around the world have been testing different methods to help students overcome the difficulties.32.What does the author say about the smartphones?A. They have caused a waste of study time.B. They enjoy great popularity among youngC. They provide lots of interesting activities for people.D. They can both improve and weaken connections among people.33.What does the underlined word “it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Students' dislike of school food.B. Students' loneliness brought by smartphones.C. Students' refusing to follow some school rules.D. Students' making new friends through the Internet.34. What can we learn about the new policy?A. It aims to get students to share their problems.B. It can improve students' problem-solving ability.C. It calls on students to stop chatting online at school.D. It encourages face-to-face communication among students.35.What does Paragraph 4 suggest?A. It is pretty difficult to get along with teenagers.B. It is challenging to carry out the new program in school.C. The new program has drawn students closer to each other.D. Young students were glad to join the program at the beginning.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。Many people like to participate in running events. 36 Besides, people can also meet other people who share the common interest of running while participating in them. Actually, there are a number of running events.The most common type of running events is races. 37 For example, marathons and ultra-marathons are very long and challenging runs. A shorter race such as a 5K or 10K can be a good place to start.38 Sponsors who donated money to the runners have the satisfaction of helping a charity as well as helping their friends participate in a race. These events are scheduled every year in the same location or city, or by the same group or charity. It is a good way to raise money for a cause as well as to encourage physical fitness.Of course, there are other events in addition to races. 39 During these events, different schools will come to one location, and students will compete against each other in individual events. These might include distance runs or sprints(短跑），for example, among many others.In addition to the running events sponsored by schools or charities, many people simply choose to create their own. It is common for people enjoying running to form a running group that meets regularly. There are many benefits of attending these running gatherings. 40 A. They can be a great way to have fun. B. People can benefit a lot from running.C. Schools frequently have running meets or “field days”.D. Some types of running events involve running long distances.E. Many running events aim to raise money for certain charities.F. One of them is that it is safer to run with a group rather than alone.G. There are many kinds of races to suit different running ability levels.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。You may always hear about people who knew exactly what they wanted to do with their life from the time they were in kindergarten.
