She said, “It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the man.Chris describes travelling alone will make you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”As the saying goes, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”25Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A.Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D.Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.26Travelling alone is challenging because _.A.you have to choose things on your ownB.it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC.you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD.it pushes you into the comfort zone27What can we know about Chris?A.He started travelling alone at an early age.B.He once was afraid of travelling.C.He used to work as a salesman. D.His website inspires others a lot.28What is the best title for the passage?A.Travel Abroad B.Travel Alone C.Travel Light D.Travel FarCPerhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Lius imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadnt expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fictions highest prize, in 2020. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2020 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. Its the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2020), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarkes 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Lius imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Lius works arent simply daydreams.29.What do we know about Liu Cixin?A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.30. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?A. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.D. To prove that Liu Cixins works relate science to reality.31. Whats the text mainly about?A. Liu Cixins achievements and writing style.B. Liu Cixins contributions to science fiction.C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.DAn earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.There is a strong chance of short circuit (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.If trapped in debris, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle if you have one. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.32. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers _.A. the damage caused by earthquakes B. the rescue work after earthquakesC. what to do about earthquakes D. how to prevent earthquakes33. The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. easily brokenB. easily found C. ExpensiveD. heavy34. During the earthquake, people are advised to _.A. go out the building at once B. turn off power and gas immediatelyC. take shelter under a tree D. drive to a safe place35. What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?A. Cover their mouth with a handkerchief. B. Tap on a pipe or wall for help.C. Use a whistle for help. D. Light a fire for help.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。How to Live a Happy lifeHappiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. 36 Fortunately, this is not the case.
