To some extent we love to expect strange phenomenon occurring before us. Here are some amazing unsolved mysteries.The Georgia GuidestonesOn one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a giant granite monument (花岗岩纪念碑). Carved in eight different languages on the four giant stones are 10 Guides.The origin of this strange monument is covered in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who constructed it. All we know is that in June 1979, a man identifying himself as RC.Christian announced that he would build something to convey a message to mankind, but to date, no one knows who RC.Christian really was.Bermuda TriangleThe Bermuda Triangle is a triangular area of the Atlantic Ocean. Many planes, ships, and boats are said to have disappeared in this triangle without a trace, which led to the belief that “supernatural” forces exist in this area of the sea.Could there truly be an unnatural force at work in this geographical triangle or are these disappearances merely coincidence? Either way, numerous people remain unwilling to step over the boundary line into the Devils Triangle.Loch Ness MonsterThe Loch Ness Monster is a legendary animal that supposedly lives in the depths of Loch Ness, a long narrow lake located in rural Scotland.Stories concerning the monster date back to the 6th century AD. Over the years thousands have reported seeing a long neck appearing from the water with a small head of an unknown creature. Pictures have even been taken of this “creature”， but most scientists refuse to believe any creature of this kind lives in the Loch Ness. So far, the evidence is inadequate, and the controversy continues.21Why is the Georgia Guidestones mysterious?AIt is on one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County.BThere are eight different languages on the stones.CThe person who built it remains unknown.DR. C. Christian could convey a message to mankind.22Why are people unwilling to enter the Bermuda Triangle?AIt is too remote from land.BThe chance of surviving is slim there.CThere are supernatural forces in the area.DAll transportations have disappeared there.23What can we know about Loch Ness Monster?AIt existed in the 6th century AD.BIt is said to have a long neck and a large head.CIt has been living in Loch Ness Lake for a long time.DPeople havent reached an agreement on its existence.BJack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.Thats when I got an email from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? Theres one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, hell stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isnt long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesnt matter that he cant see. He always knows when Bear is around. Hell run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. Theyll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. Ive owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesnt feel sorry for himself. He doesnt need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it is best when she told me that cats dont have disabilities, they have adaptability.24Why did Jack come to our home?AI cared for an eyeless cat. BI didnt mind whether he was blind.CNo other young cats kept him company.DMy friend begged me to take him home.25Which of the following statements is TRUE?AJack often wrestles with Bear indoors.BJack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.CJack quickly adapts to the new environment.DJack is good at talking and playing with people.26What does the underlined word “issues” in Paragraph 3 mean?ATrouble. BFun. CLuck. DBusiness.27What can we learn from the passage?AA cat has nine lives. BAll is well that ends well.CGod helps those who help themselves. DA good beginning makes a good ending.CBrian Hamiltons life changed in a prison when he was accompanying his friend, Reverend Robert J. Harris, who often went to local prisons to do his work. During the visit, Hamilton started talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,” Hamilton recalls（回忆）. “I thought to myself, wow, thats going to be difficult with a criminal background.”The conversation made Hamilton consider how prisoners could benefit from entrepreneurship, something he thought about for years. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation, Hamilton created Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses. “Harris and I taught our first course at a prison called How to Start Your Own Business When You Get Out ,” he recalls. At the time, Hamilton was building his own company, Sageworks. As Sageworks grew, so did Hamilton s time spent teaching at prisons throughout North Carolina.Eventually, Hamilton decided it was time to change his focus to his true passion. In May 2018, he sold his stake（股份） in Sageworks, focusing his commitment on Inmates to Entrepreneurs. “Now, anyone is able to access the curriculum, either to become an instructor to go into prisons to teach it or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,” Hamilton explains. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the curriculum to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.The free curriculum is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they adjust to civilian life and provides loans to small businesses. “Were giving prisoners something they can do independent of a system that isnt working for them. If you can let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.”28. Why did Brian Hamilton think the prisoner couldnt easily find a job after getting out?A. He didnt have any special skills.B. He would have his criminal background with him.C. He would break the criminal law again and again.D. He couldnt access the courses provided by the prison.29. What does the underlined word “entrepreneurship” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Thinking of a good idea after working hard for years.B. Trying ones best because of being kept in a small place.C. Making money by starting or running ones own businesses.D. Having a job in a profitable company owned by the government.30. What does the text say about Inmates to Entrepreneurs?A. It often assists military members. B. It provides loans to small businesses.C. Its independent of the social system.D. Its curriculum has been largely broadened.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. A man made a fruitless visit to the prison. B. A man sold his business to teach prisoners.C. A man realized his dream of being a teacher. D. A man successfully created two organizations. DHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child a bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past”， as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listenandrepeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”32The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to _.Arecall the past Battract the readersCintroduce the topic Dcompare the childhood with the present33According to the passage, which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?AHungarian. BSpanish. CItalian. DEnglish.34Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _.Asinging is the best way to learn a languageBthe brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsCa listenrepeat method is very effective for any language learnerDDr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other35In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn a new English song.DAn American is going to learn some Chinese.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。Moving abroad can be a challenging experience.

Then again, teenagers have 41 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 42 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 43 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their childrens refusal to help with the 44 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 45 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 46 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 47 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 48 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their childrens 49 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 50 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who dont help their parents with the shopping dont find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 51 their actions.Psychologists say that 52 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 53 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 54 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 55 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled. 41. A. natural B. strongC. guilty D. similar42. A. interest B. argumentC. link D.knowledge43.
