few places across the globe that have managed to escape the Covid-19 pandemic;evenAntarctica has reported cases.But a lucky few remote locations in Italy remain coronavirus-free currently.Sowhat it*s like to live on Italys most isolated（孤立的）and beautiful islands?Here several islanders share howthe situation has impacted their lives.LinosaPositioned halfway between Sicily and Tunisia in the Mediterranean,this tiny atoll has no confirmedcases.Fabio Tuccio,one of the 200 residents living here,says things have remained pretty much the same sincethe pandemic outbreak.A lockdown situation is regular here now,Tuccio says.Theres not much to do.Everything is shutexcept for a supermarket,a pharmacy,and a post office.Although the island has been safe from Covid so far,all visitors are required to take a Covid test at theferry port before they set foot here,for residents remain fearful that the virus may find its way to this safeshelter.FilicudiFilicudi island,one of the wildest and farthest out among the Aeolian islands,has also done well atkeeping Covid at bay.Ferries often find it difficult to dock here due to the rough sea conditions.While this was a frustration forlocals in the past,the missing connection is now mostly viewed as a good thing.Islanders feel lucky to live insuch seclusion,far from the chaos brought about by coronavirus.MIt*s an ugly moment for humanity but I amhappy and privileged to live here,its like being in another world.Social distancing is guaranteed.saysPeppino Taranto,a resident of Filicudi.AlicudiAlicudi,Filicudis sister isle,is the most secluded of the Aeolian isles.Here Covid is perceived as a verydistant threat.Aldo Di Nora,who moved to Alicudi years ago from northern Italy,is aware of how fortunate he is to livein such a secluded and protected place.Social distancing is not an issue.The only moment when little crowds can form is when people meet atAlicudis harbor to jump on the ferry boats,Di Nora says.Following the tragic news happening in Italy and across the world,I am grateful to live in such awonderful place,surrounded by peace and zero risk of contagion/*1.What do the three islands have in common?A.Islanders are all happy and satisfied.B.They are all wild and isolated islands.C.No confirmed cases have been reported.D.Visitors to these islands have to do strict tests.2.Why are the residents in Linosa

in Alicudi.D.Rough sea situations in Filicudi often discourages ferries to dock there.BA roadside system that detects if a mobile phone is in use in a passing vehicle is being tested in the UKfirst.Despite being unable to tell whether the driver is using the phone,it is hoped that it will act as a warningto people who make calls behind the wheel.The technology picks up the phone signal in the vehicle andactivates a roadside warning sign of a mobile phone with a red line through it.The system cannot tell the difference between a driver and a passenger on a bus,but to some degree it canwarn drivers that they can be detected using their phones.Using a directional antenna（天线），the detectorpicks up radio waves produced by a phone handset,and measures the signal strength and length of them.Whena signal is detected of duration（持续时间）long enough and signal strength strong enough to set off the system,the detector activates the warning sign.The detector is able to distinguish Bluetooth connections or hands-freedevices which,when picked up,will prevent the activation.While this new system is no replacement for a police officer catching someone in the act,it could beenough to make some drivers think twice-and that has to be a positive step forward.However,just astechnology has enabled the problem of drivers using mobile phones illegally,it can also be a big part of thesolution in getting people to stop.Statistics from the devices will be shared with Norfolk Police,the countycouncil said.The council said that enabling the system to record specific number plates could be a futuredevelopment.Using a mobile phone at the wheel is one of the four road crimes which can have hon,ible consequences ifit causes a deadly or serious car crash.Law enforcement（执行）technology has been falling behind for adecade and not made any easier by motor producers that encourage users to plug in their phones even beforedriving.4.Why is the roadside system used according to Paragraph 1?A.To send out cellphone signals to drivers.B.To detect drivers*illegal use of cellphone.C.To monitor peoples use of phones while driving.D.To warm people against using pones while driving.5.How does the detector of the roadside system work?A.It measures the length of the phone.B.It warns drivers with a phone in hand.C.It picks up radio waves from handsets.D.It activates the vehicles Bluetooth system.6.What does the text suggest drivers do with the road warning sign?A.Swift to Bluetooth while driving.B.Have a close watch of road signs.C.Avoid being picked up by detectors.D.Stop using a hands-free mobile phone.7.What will the county council probably do in the future?A.Share the devices with the police.B.Make the system more advanced.C.Replace the police with the new system.D.Take steps to settle road safety problems.CRemember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can causetooth decay（蛀牙）？However,it turns out that chocolate can be more salutary to your teeth than you mightexpect.Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay,as if we need anotherexcuse to eat chocolate.Chocolate offers protection like fluoride,a main ingredient in most household toothpastes.Not only doeschocolate protect our teeth,but it can do so very effectively.Studies show that chocolate has compounds thatprovide strong protection for teeth.One of the compounds in chocolate,CBH,is shown to protect even moreeffectively than fluoride.Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth.This is why eating foodswith high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay.The compounds in chocolate,however,are anti-bacteriaand can fight against bacteria in your mouth.The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen toothenamel（牙釉质）,and protects against tooth decay.Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth?It dependson the types of chocolate that you like.The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew oncocoa beans.Of course,this option is not very appealing to;most people.A more tasty option is to choose darkchocolate with little sugar content,ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving.For other types of chocolatewith higher sugar content,the effect will be lessened.However,because of the protective compounds,it is stillbetter fbr your teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.8.The word“salutary“in paragraph 1 means?A.Beneficial.B.Harmful.C.Familiar.D.Useless.9.What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?A.It can help chocolate cure tooth decay.B.It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.C.It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do.D.It may soon replace most household toothpastes.10.How does chocolate fight tooth decay?A.By breaking down acids.B.By building up compounds.C.By fixing up tooth enamel.D.By fighting against bacteria.11.What*s the main idea of the text?A.Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste.B.Chocolate protects against tooth decay.C.Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection.D.Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.DWhile travelling the world and doing research for my new book,I realised something rather extraordinary.Nearly everyone understands the importance of brain health,but most people seem to believe this mysteriousorgan is a black box,untouchable and incapable of being improved.However,the brain can be continuously enriched throughout life,no matter your age or access toresources.Our everyday experiences,including how much we exercise or with whom we socialize,factor intoour brain health far more than we can imagine.Prevention is the most powerful treatment of illness,and this is especially true of degenerative illnessessuch as those in the brain.Few of us think about dementia（痴呆）at our best.The risk of dementia risesfaster after the age of 65.However,knowing that damage could be starting in your brain offers you aremarkable opportunity to take action.When I was able to travel the world,I was struck by the fact that the liveliest and most joyful,who seemedto be having a great time despite their advanced age,were always the ones who maintained high-qualityfriendships and an expansive social network.It is difficult to say precisely why maintaining social connections plays powerful role in keeping the brainyoung.One reason could be that it provides a buffer（缓冲）against the harmful physical effects of stress.Research by Memory and Aging Project has shown similarly that people with large social networks arewell protected against the cognitive（认知的）declines related to dementia than those with a smaller group offriends.12.How did the author find his discovery during the trip?A.Reasonable.B.Unexpected.C.Common.D.Interesting.13.What can we know about the author?A.He loves travelling.B.He a novelist.C.Hes very ambitious.D.He is a psychologist14.Which of the following statements is true?A.The brain stops improvement when one is over 65.B No preventative measures can be taken about dementia.C.The wider social circle is,the younger your brain will be.D.Social connection plays an important role in preventing dementia.15.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A Support the opinion of the author.B.Provide some advice for the readers.C.Add some background information.D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.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。Maybe in the near future,driverless cars may become common on the roads.Driverless cars have alreadybeen test-driven thousands of miles.16.For instance,it helps reduce the number of accidents and trafficjams.17.That is because there are many issues that must be solved before the widespread use of them.Oneproblem is that a driverless car cannot predict problems far down the road like a driver can.The driverless carsreact to an emergency only when it actually occurs.For instance,a driver starts to slow down when he sees achild riding her skateboard directly into the road 0.2 km away.18,Driverless cars are not suitable for extreme weather conditions.19.They dont predict or feel that theroads have become icy like an experienced driver would.For instance,when a road is icy,a human driverwould step on the brakes more gently than when the roads are clean and dry.Another issue is that driverless cars have maps programmed into their memory,but these maps aren*talways updated and accurate.New roads are built,and old roads are closed down.20.Perhaps one day,driverless cars will be everywhere,but we are not ready for that just yet.A.The safety problems have almost been addressed.B.However,they are not yet available for the public.C.Many advantages can be associated to the driverless cars.D.Driverless vehicles also have

action when the child is in its immediate path.第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第 一 节（共 15小题；每小题1分,满 分 15分）Compared with Mothers Day,Fathers Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar.In
