This once-closed state in Southeast Asia is a gold mine for those who enjoy the ancient Buddhist culture of the region. Compared to its neighbors, the landscape of Myanmar has been left largely undamaged. There are so many reasons why Myanmar is amazing and has been rated one of the top Asian tourist destinations for 2019. Here are some of its scenic spots：Shwedagon Pagoda in YangonAs far as pagodas are concerned，this is one of the most respected in Myanmar. This massive 325-foot Buddhist pagoda is surrounded by smaller shiny-gold pagodas. It is believed that some of the hairs of Gautama Buddha are well- preserved in here. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a must-see destination on your traveling schedule. Long Neck Tribe of the Hill CountryThese womenwho are identified by their long necks that are stretched by brass neck coils(项圈)from an early agehave become world-famous. Youll find this tribe in the mountainous north of the country，especially in Chin state. This custom dates back to ancient times when tribesmenwho were always at war with neighboring tribesput neck coils on their women to prevent them from being taken as prisoners of warThese days，the long-necked women are used to seeing foreigners，who make the long journey to this isolated region of Myanmar for the purpose of seeing themMandalay CityThis dusty, hot center of trading and commerce for Myanmar is both fascinating and exciting. Youll never find a shortage of things to do here. Temples. Medieval-era castles. Buildings from the countrys colonial British past. There are over 600 monasteries and nunneries in the Holy Hills of Sagaing, which overlook Mandalay. The city also has an exciting nightlife which will be an attraction for many21What does the writer intend to tell in the passage?ALife styles people in Myanmar haveBActivities tourists can attend in MyanmarCReasons why Myanmar is suddenly popularDInformation about some attractions in Myanmar22For what purpose were the neck coils initially used?ATo protect womens necksBTo frighten the enemies awayCTo make women more attractiveDTo stop women being victims of war23What will impress travelers to Mandalay City most?APromising commercial futureBArchitecture of different stylesCShiny-gold pagodasDAbundance of goods in night marketsBHome prices remained divergent in China during December, with some of the first-tier cities recording price drops, while second and third-tier cities saw increases due to the varied market policies, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.Newly built commercial housing prices in the first-tier citiesnamely Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhenremained stable in December, while those in second and third- tier cities rose by 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent respectively from November 2017.The same trend was witnessed in second-hand home prices, which dropped slightly by 0.1 percent in first-tier cities and rose 0.3 percent in both second and third-tier cities in December, said Liu Jianwei, a senior statistician at the NBS.In September 2017, the local governments of several regional capitals launched new restrictions to further slow home sales, in response to the central governments call to end housing speculation and cool the red-hot housing market in certain cities.As housing regulations in larger cities have tightened, investors have started looking for opportunities in medium-sized and small cities, thus causing a noticeable home price increase in third-tier cities.Fan Hengshan, deputy secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at an economic forum on Thursday that housing prices in third and fourth-tier cities have risen too fast, and this needs to be monitored carefully.“The home price increase in third-tier cities will have a fairly large impact, considering that a large part of Chinas gross domestic product and population come from these cities,” said Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist and head of equity strategy for China at Deutsche Bank, during a recent media briefing.Zhang estimated that third-tier cities accounted for a major part of Chinese residents 50 trillion yuan wealth gains, driven by rising home prices in 2017.“Despite a relatively large increase in home prices in third-tier cities, studies have found that at the end of 2017, local residents in 85 third-tier cities need to save four to eight years of their income to buy a home, meaning that house price to income ratios are not too high in these cities,” he said. 24. What does the underlined word “divergent” in the first paragraph mean?A. DiverseB. StableC. IncreasingD. Decreasing25. What do we know from the passage?A. Housing prices in the first-tier cities dropped slightly in December.B. Home prices in medium-sized and small cities remained stable in November.C. National housing prices rose in most time of 2017.D. The second-hand home prices dropped slightly in the first-tier cities while rose in both second and third-tier cities in November.26. Why did the housing prices in the third and fourth-tier cities rise fast?A. Because the local governments didnt launch any restrictions and regulations.B. Because the governments in the first-tier cities have carried out tougher measures.C. Because there are more people living in these cities.D. Because people there saved more money than other cities.27. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A science book. B. A newspaper. C. A fashion magazine. D. A text book. CWhen a laptop or smartphone battery starts losing its power，the only options are to buy an expensive replacement，or just keep it plugged in all the timeBut a woman Mya Le Thai may have found the answer to this problemThai was frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded(降级)over time，until they failed to charge fullyShe did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet to keep it powered onSo，she decided to do something about that problemAt first，she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new batteryBut as they experimented，Thai discovered something that might permit lithiumion(锂离子)batteries to last foreverLithium-ion batteries power most wireless devicesOver time，the batteries lose the ability to hold a chargeMost of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cycles before they dieOne of the reasons lithiumion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricityNanowires are extremely thinA human hair is thousands of times thicker，for exampleNanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity，which makes them useful in batteriesBut，Thai had a theorythe nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶)She and her team tested this theory“It was a long process and a lot of work，”Thai saidThe team tried many coverings for the wiresPMMA，a type of plastic，was one of themThe nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200，000 timesThe PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damageThe results suggest that batteries could last forever，without losing charging abilityThai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results and she is enjoying the publicity about her discoveryShe said she never expected her research to get media coverage“Its kind of cool,”she said“Im really glad people are showing interest in my work and not just in the work itself，but also in technology and energy”28Why did Mya Le Thai work on lithium-ion batteries?AShe disliked the batteries for her laptopBHer team were assigned to invent a new batteryCMany people thought batteries were too expensiveDThe batteries would soon lose the function to charge fully29What can we infer about nanowires?AThey last only 7,000 charging cyclesBThey are too weak to carry electricityCThey are not suitable to use in batteriesDTheir thinness is a cause of batteries degrade30What might be Thai and her teams breakthrough?ACoating nanowires in gel BA new kind of batteryCNew materials for batteriesDA new way of charging batteries31What may be the best title for the passage?AThe options of batteries for wireless devicesBA woman invents a lifelong battery.CMya Le Thai discovered Nanowires DThe reasons for batteries degradingD Next month, Im traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala one of the local languages to have a conversation. I wasnt sure how I was going to manage this until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary Im going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the app Im using. It feels just like a game.“People often stop learning things because they feel theyre not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “Were trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something youd want to do instead of watching TV.”Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you practice the words, you “water your plants”. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the app sends you emails that remind you to “water your plants”.The app uses two principles about learning. The first is that people remember things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because its the kind of app you only use for five or ten minutes a day.Ive learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this wont make me a fluent speaker, but I hope Ill be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary!32. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?A. Create memorable experiences.B. Make progress with hard work.C. Master languages through games.D. Combine study with entertainment.33. What do the underlined words “water your plants” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Learning new words.B. Being a Memrise user.C. Logging on to the app.D. Taking care of your garden.34. How does Memrise work?A. By linking different mems together.B. By putting knowledge into practice.C. By offering human translation services.D. By applying an associative memory approach.35. What is the authors attitude towards Memrise?A. Positive. B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.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。Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? 36 Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little courtesies (礼节）. But many social norms（规范）just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Posts Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost? 37 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.This isnt the first time technology has changed our manners. 38 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, Ahoy!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greetings use in face-to-face communications.In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 39 And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. 40 In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.A. Then there is voice mail.B. Others, like me, want no reply.C. But people still ask these things.D. Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?E. Wont new technology bring about changes in our daily life?F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.G. When the telephone was invented, people didnt know how to greet a caller.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）In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our _41_.
