In ancient China tea was probably used 【1】 a relish(佐料)and a medicine. It was considered to be 【2】 (health) in part because it was made with boiled water, which is safer 【3】 (drink) in an area of polluted water. Tea drinking, and commercial growing, spread during the Tang Dynasty, 618—907. And tea gradually became one of the seven basic 【4】 (necessity) of Chinese life. (The others are fuel, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.)

A Japanese Buddhist priest is believed to have introduced tea to Japan in 805, 【5】 he returned from a visit to China. In Japan tea drinking was considered medicinal, and became 【6】 (close) associated with Zen Buddhism（禅宗）.

Dutch explorers became familiar with tea in 【7】 1590s and were soon importing tea to Europe. In 1662 tea received a big boost in England when the Portuguese Catherine of Braganza married King Charles II and 【8】 (introduce) tea drinking to the British court. Gradually, the British fell in love with tea. In 1665, less than 88 tons of tea was imported to Great Britain. By 1700, it had increased to 10,000 tons of tea, 【9】 (rank) first in Europe.

The demand for tea continues to grow in spite of the 【10】 (compete) from soft drinks and coffee. And now tea is the second most-consumed drink in the world.

Schoolwork can be stressful sometimes, 【1】 （especial） in the final year of high school. Daily matters can pile up and affect our health. Therefore, 【2】 （find） a good way to deal with pressure is important. I just discovered my new favorite method ， the trampoline （蹦床）!

The door opens and you are 【3】 （amaze） to see people jumping and flying around like superheroes. The trampoline park is full of colorful inflatables （充气气垫）. For 【4】 （begin）， it is the best area to start.

It was a little bit frightening at the beginning, as we 【5】 hardly walk on the trampolines. But when I started to jump, I felt all the stress leave my body. After jumping for a while, I 【6】 （lie） down and closed my eyes, imagining I had become a bird 【7】 could touch the sky.

There 【8】 （be） some other bouncing activities. My favorite one was the basketball dunking area. It included a full-height basketball hoop above runway trampolines. With the power of bouncing, I could dunk like 【9】 NBA superstar. It was not only relaxing, but also fun!

While outdoor activities are largely up to the weather, indoor trampoline parks are really good places 【10】 （go） whenever you want to have a good time.

Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget.

On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the edge of the roof and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky.

I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch (走廊). At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.

I was too scared about getting caught that I was concerned about the old lady with the broken window all the time that night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to look into her eyes.

I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.

In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are often the hardest hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.

But farmers may have a new weapon now. The technology, designed by researchers at North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.

Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals have accumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes (染料) by the researchers. Upon interacting (相互作用) with the plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.

The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.

【1】What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.The damage caused by late blight.

B.The money put into late blight treatment.

C.The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.

D.The yearly production of small farms and growers.

【2】According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected?

A.By treating the plant with special dyes.

B.By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.

C.By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.

D.By examining the land with a smartphone reader.

【3】What do the researchers expect of their new technology?

A.It’ll reach farmers soon.

B.It’ll get rid of late blight.

C.It’ll be beneficial to the climate.

D.It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.

疫情epidemic situation

新型冠状病毒肺炎COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019)

Dear Leslie,

I’m glad to share with you what I’m doing in the epidemic situation.

Thank you for your concern. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Switzerland’s culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German.

Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you’ll find traditional French dishes like fondue and raclette, melted Swiss cheese served over bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in German-speaking regions, like Zurich, you’ll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes.

However, if there’s one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it’s their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”, US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers.

Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer year-round skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snow-capped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4, 400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine.

But if city culture is more your thing, you’ll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world’s largest teddy bear museum in Basel.

Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laid back (悠闲自在的), but with many adrenaline- pumping (肾上腺素激增的) activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe offers you the culture of four different countries?

【1】The author presents Switzerland as a multi-cultural country by introducing its _________.

A.languages and foodB.architecture and food

C.festivals and architectureD.costumes and festivals

【2】Why are Sarah Schmalbruch’s words quoted?

A.To show the history of Swiss chocolates.

B.To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make.

C.To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are.

D.To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates.

【3】What can you find in Switzerland?

A.The safest skiing location.B.The most pictured mountain.

C.The largest art gallery.D.The oldest teddy bear museum.

【4】Where can we most probably read this text?

A.In a geography textbook.B.In a science report.

C.In a travel magazine.D.In a personal diary.

Peter Gleick, a US climate scientist, told Time, “the extent, the severity, and the intensity of these fires wouldn’t have been so bad without the fingerprints of climate change.”

According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology, the country’s temperatures have risen by more than one degree Celsius since 1920. The spring of 2019 was Australia’s driest in 120 years. In December, the country saw its hottest day ever, with an average temperature of 41.9℃.

“Due to enhanced (过度的) evaporation（蒸发）in warmer temperatures, the vegetation and the soils dry out more quickly,” Stefan Rahmstorf, a lead author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report, told Time.

Worse still, researchers at the UK Bureau of Meteorology believe that wildfires like this might become “normal conditions” in the future, according to the BBC. They looked at 57 research papers published since 2013, which examined the relationship between climate change and the risk of wildfires. They found that the link between the two has already been observed in many parts of the world, including the western US, Canada, southern Europe, and even Scandinavia and Siberia.

“These are impacts we are seeing for one degree of global climate change. The impact will get worse if we don’t do what it takes to make the world’s climate stable,” Corinne Le Quere, a professor from the University of East Anglia in the UK, told the BBC. “What we are seeing in Australia is not the ‘new normal’. It’s a transition(过渡)to worse impacts.”

【1】What was the wildfire starting last September related to according to scientists？

A.Air pollution.B.Human activities.

C.Environment changes.D.Natural cycle.

【2】What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 mean?

A.The meaning of climate changeB.The influence of climate change

C.The control of climate changeD.The possibility of climate change

【3】What happened with the temperature rising in Australia?

A.Plants stayed as lively as usual.

B.Australia never suffered a hot day.

C.The plants and the soils became dry faster.

D.Every season became the driest in the year.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.We might see more wildlife.

B.We were to see less disasters.

C.It could be impossible to see wildfires.

D.It would be more difficult to prevent wildfires.
