Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are， and how far theyve come Youre thinking，

Summary Writing 16Directions： Read the following passage Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words Use your own words as far as possibleWhere are the bees？ Bees are essential to the production of food we eat Bees make honey， but they also pollinate large areas of crops， such as strawberries， apples and onions About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees Unfortunately， bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate In 2006， bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster（CCD） The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive In October of 2006， some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today Nowadays， beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of traveling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change That means a lot of traveling on trucks， which is very stressful to bees It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress In addition， bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on Instead， they live on a sweet liquid from corn， usually polluted with pesticides The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure， but losing bees is very costly to the economy The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year With no bees， pollination will have to be done by hand， which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food prices We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect翻译17究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性？（ motivate） 18网上支付方便了用户，但是牺牲了他们的隐私（ at the cost of） 19让我的父母非常满意的是，从这个公寓的餐厅可以俯视街对面的世纪公园，从起居室也可以（so） 20博物馆疏于管理，展品积灰，门厅冷清，急需改善（whose） 2019年春考作文：21假如你是明启中学的李华，你的朋友李楠给你写了一封信，告诉你他要开发一个新的APP，用这个软件共享衣服，想要征集大家的看法，你是否愿意共享你的衣服，给出理由（信的格式已给）2019年上海市高考英语模拟试卷（2月份）参考答案与试题解析I.
