Fortunately, there are islands and destinations to help you drive away the winter blues.GrenadaKnown for its fantastic volcanic views and for not being overly developed, Grenada is a good choice for English-speaking folks to get away from the package crowds. Prices at the resorts（度假胜地）are mostly in the middle range. Be sure to check hotel prices before you book the flight.Punta CanaAs December begins in the Caribbean, the hurricane season is officially over and the weather is pretty perfect. Punta Cana is the Dominican Republics most popular resort area, especially for those who arent particularly interested in the local culture. Unsurprisingly, the end of December is the beginning of the peak season for resort prices, so those who are able to come earlier in the month will be getting better deals.Rincon, Puerto RicoIf you are a serious surfer and want to give it a try in the Caribbean, then come to Rincon, on Puerto Ricos west coast. Surfers love it here and often rent local houses rather than staying in the somewhat pricey hotels. Flights to the local airport are cheap, and the sometimes cheaper San Juan airport is also an easy drive.St. Thomas, US Virgin IslandsKnown largely as a stop for cruise ships and a Caribbean shopping resort for inexpensive jewelry, St. Thomas also has great diving and all the usual water sports available. Hotels here are quite expensive compared to others, but at least cheap flight deals are possible.21. What can visitors do in Grenada?A. Experience modem urban life.B. Enjoy the beautiful volcanic landscape.C. Meet backpackers throughout the world.D. Enjoy the best service in the cheapest hotel.22. What advice does the writer give to visitors to Punta Cana?A. Going deep to understand the local culture.B. Booking the flight after weighing hotel prices.C. Visiting Punta Cana at the beginning of December.D. Renting local houses rather than staying in the hotels.23. Which is the best choice for tourists who want to buy rings or necklaces?A. Grenada.B. Punta Cana.C. Rincon, Puerto Rico. D. St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.BPat Patterson, a pilot for 25 years, had never met anyone like the handsome young man in the wheelchair who faced him on July 28, 1976. Mike Henderson, a quadriplegic（四肢瘫痪者), wanted flying lessons.As a 22-year-old Coast Guardsman eight years before, Henderson had fallen off a dock and landed on a floating log, breaking two of his bones. Doctors said that he would probably never walk again, let alone fly. “Here was this doctor telling me how it was going to be,” he says, “but no one was going to limit my freedom to try.”Henderson parked his wheelchair next to the airplane and began to climb up onto the wing. He injured his elbow on the way, and after a great struggle, finally managed to pull himself into the airplanes pilots seat. In the flight office, Pal Patterson watched in disbelief. “He crawled his way up that wing!” he says. “It took him 45 minutes. When I went out, he was sitting in the pilots seat, blood from his injured elbow all over the place. When I saw him go through that much pain, I knew nothing could stop him.”Now everything was up to the instructor and the student, and together they set about solving each problem as it arose. A small piece of carpet gave Henderson traction（摩擦力)to climb the slippery wing. A headset freed his hands from the radio microphone, and the two men developed a moving bar that enabled Henderson to operate the airplane more easily.Three weeks and eight flying hours after the first lesson, Henderson and Patterson happily phoned Dr. StoddardHendersons physician. At the airport, as the physician looked on, Henderson quickly wheeled himself around the airplane doing a thorough, professional ground check. With Patterson and Dr. Stoddard on board, he went through his preflight instrument check. Minutes later, engine starting, the plane rolled down the runway and took off into the gray sky.24. When did Mike Henderson become disabled?A. At the age of 25. B. In 1968. C. At the age of 30 D. In 1976.25. What did Pat Patterson think of Mike Henderson when they met first?A. Depressed. B. Experienced. C. Determined. D. Delighted.26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How Patterson and Henderson overcame the difficulties together.B. How Patterson helped Henderson overcome the difficulties.C. How Patterson taught Henderson to fly with difficulty.D. The difficulties Henderson faced before flying.27. What do we know from the text?A. Patterson didnt want to teach Henderson at first.B. Henderson finally succeeded in flying alone.C. Patterson was very strict with Henderson.D. Dr. Stoddard was wrong about Hendersons future.CA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the patternA-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.“Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear. is very different from The bear caught John.”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphonesno matter how educationaldoesnt appear to be enough for childrens brain development. They conducted a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audiolearned nothing.28. What makes connections in a babys brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new information.C. The baby early age.D. The connection with other babies.29. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.30. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.31. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A.Babies shouldnt watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies brain.C. Foreign languages help babies brain develop.D. Social communication improves babies brain development. DRush hour in Singapore, a crowded island city of nearly 6 million people, is much like rush hour in almost every major city worldwide. The situation, if left alone, will only get worse if, as is expected, Singapore adds a million more residents in the next decade. But city planners have no intention of leaving it alone. They have in mind a solution that is primary and all-round: to replace car ownership with ride-sharing.The key element in this plan is the emerging technology of autonomous transportation （ATs） cars and shuttle buses（区间车）that, primarily on the basis of artificial intelligence, can drive themselves with no human at the wheel. To realize this future, Singapore is making farsighted investments in research and infrastructure （基石出设施）and rewriting its transportation policies and regulations. It is working with 10 different companies on plans to roll out fleets（车队）of driverless cars.The city agency recently removed the requirement that cars have human drivers. All new residential developments must now abide by rules that both accommodate self-driving vehicles and discourage car ownership: narrow roads, special road markings, gentler curves and fewer parking spaces.The first driverless buses and shuttles hit the citys streets in November, 2018. If all goes well, a large fleet will soon be travelling the roads, planning their routes on the fly based on where they need to pick up passengers and drop them off. Then a fleet of ATs will be assigned to work nights, sweeping the streets and delivering packages. “The goal here,” says Niels de Boer, who heads autonomous vehicle research for the Energy Research Institute at Singapores Nanyang Technological University, “is to make having your own car completely unnecessary by 2030.”32. How will Singapore deal with the traffic problem?A. By discouraging car ownership. B. By limiting the number of cars.C. By building more green buses. D. By investing more money in traffic.33. What do ATs fundamentally rely on?A. Scientific research.B. Artificial intelligence.C. Investment in infrastructure.D. New transport policies34. What does the underlined phrase “abide by” probably mean?A. Put forward. B. Set out. C. Stick to. D. Turn down.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. How ATs will transform the city.B. When ATs will come into being.C. Why ATs deliver passengers and packages.D. What will become of the streets and routes.第二节（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Caregivers care for someone with an illness, injury or disability. Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. 36 Women especially are at risk for the harmful health effects of caregiver stress. These health problems may include stress and anxiety. There are ways to manage caregiver stress.The first thing to do is learn ways to better help your loved one. 37 To find these classes, ask your doctor or call your local Area Agency on Aging.Take time out to meditate（冥想）or reflect. Spending 10 to 20 minutes twice a day to “clear your head” can work wonders when youre feeling overburdened. Some caregivers learn meditation techniques from classes or books on the subject, while others simply take time out to quietly reflect. 38 Exercising is another good way to help mind and body recover. Its one of the best-known techniques for reducing stress and keeping healthy. A quick walk several times each week gives you significant health benefits. 39 Your library may offer exercise DVDs. Invite a friend over to join you. 40 Nursing a garden, watching a favorite TV show, or reading an article that interests you.
