Almost 20 years later he returned to Kingston to collect his honorary degree from vice president Professor Julius Weinberg at a graduation ceremony held at Rose Theatre.“When I first received the invitation, I was delighted but I didnt think I deserved it as I hadnt graduated from Kingston University,” he said.“The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was a wonderful honor and brilliant recognition of my achievement in music,” said Eason.When Eason Chen was a student majoring in architecture in 1995, he won a talent singing award in Hong Kong. This made him start to pursue a recording career, causing his career to change from architecture to music.“Easons musical influence has gone beyond language boundaries and he has become an international phenomenon. He has inspired millions of his fans across the world,” said Heather Forland, director of Kingston International Development.Julius Weinberg said that the university was proud to honor Chan as he is so successful and looked forward to his successes in the future as a singer, a role model and an ambassador for culture.“The world may have lost an architect but it has gained a performer of the highest caliber (才干),” he added.Eason Chan will hold a personal concert in London in March, which is the third time for his shows in Britain.

Devon Fitzgerald, a cyclist, is familiar with both.“A lot of L.A. folks are in a rush,” he said, “and it is very easy for them to prioritize (优先于) their speed over your safety.”The city is known for its car culture because Los Angeles is spread out and public transportation is either slow or limited. As a result, people drive everywhere, causing congestion (拥挤) almost any time of day.Therefore, Fitzgerald likes to ride his bicycle to work. “I like the fact that it simplifies a lot of the aspects of travel,” Fitzgerald said. “For instance, I dont have to worry about parking, ever.”However, Roger Rosas, who drives, says that bicycles are dangerous for the cyclist and the driver. “You always have to make sure that you look to the other side because you are going to avoid this guy and you dont want to do a hit and run,” he said. “You can also get in a car crash as a result of that.”To make cycling safer, some bicyclists in Los Angeles, who live and work near each other, are cycling to work together in whats called a “Bike Trains”.“You are a big enough group that cars dont have the same behaviors as if you are just one person,” said Nona Varnado, who co-founded L.A. Bike Trains. “And you are also with an experienced cyclist.”“L.A. Bike Trains was launched in May 2020 and the number of participants and routes around the city has been growing. The routes range from 7 to almost 32 kilometers long. That makes L.A. Bike Trains unique compared to other cities,” says Herbie Huff, a transportation expert at University of California Los Angeles.“We want people to develop that mental sense of security and confidence by riding together in a group,” Nona Varnado said. Her aim is to make it so that bike trains are an important part of Los Angeles culture.25.What can we know about the transportation in Los Angeles from the passage?A.People lack awareness of traffic safety.B.Drivers are quite rude to their passengers.C.A lot of traffic accidents happen every day.D.The roads are often crowded with cars.26.We can know from the passage that Devon Fitzgerald .A.sometimes drives fast in order not to be late for workB.prefers to ride a bike in order to save moneyC.thinks it less worrying to go to work by bikeD.is satisfied with the transportation of L.A.27.According to the passage, Bike TrainsA.is getting more and more popular in L.A.B.has become an important part of L.A. cultureC.is launched to increase peoples traffic knowledgeD.makes cyclists more confident in their workCBrain Basics for LearnersLearn why passively sitting around and not doing sports can be harmful to your brain.

Roads wear out too, and they often need repairing. But new research by a pair of teens suggests the rubber from worn-out tires could lengthen the lifetime of asphalt (沥青) pavement. Also roads made with this material might need fewer patches (补丁).The young researchers presented their findings in May, 2020, as finalists at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The 64th annual Intel ISEF shows some of the best high school science projects from around the globe.Many roads are made with asphalt, which requires much petroleum. But Jordan is a country that has very few oil wells or other sources of petroleum, notes Mohammad Salameh, who is a 10th-grader at the International School in Amman, Jordan.For Jordan, having to import most of the countrys petroleum adds greatly to its cost, the teen notes. The extra expense means that theres less money to build and maintain roads. That has resulted in poorer quality roads. As a result, those roads need to be patched almost constantly.Therefore, 16-year-old Mohammad and his research partner, 15-year-old classmate Adam Belaid, came up with the idea of adding rubber to asphalt. But that rubber can come from old tires. Even a worn-out tire contains much rubber, which means the material should be plentiful, says Mohammad. Drivers in Jordan replaced 9 million tons of tires between 2020 and 2020, and only 0.3% of that rubber was recycled. That leaves much rubber that could possibly go into road construction.But first the teens had to show adding rubber to asphalt resulted in better roads. To test their idea, they created several different asphalt-rubber recipes. They also tried out different temperatures at which the mix was heated. And their tests suggested that when the surfacing material includes 8% rubber, it should hold up for 10 to 15 years of traffic instead of the normal 5 years. And their recipe should reduce the need for patching worn areas from once a year, to maybe once every 57 years in the future.32.It can be learnt from the passage that .A.roads that contain no rubber tend to be only used for six yearsB.most of the roads in Jordan are made with rubber at presentC.the International Science and Engineering Fair started in 2020D.only 27,000 tons of tires were recycled in Jordan between 2020 and 202033.What made the two teenagers think of carrying out the research?A.Frequent road repairs in Jordan.B.Their interest in recycling old tires.C.The slowdown in the Jordanian economy.D.Their desire to replace petroleum with something.34.We can know from the passage that in Jordan .A.the roads are the worst across the worldB.many people are interested in recycling old tiresC.a typical road is replaced every five years or soD.most roads require patching once every five years35.The purpose of the passage is to .A.list some facts about the 64th annual Intel ISEFB.prove the importance of rubber to road constructionC.introduce a recent study by two teenagers from JordanD.convince readers of teenagers ability of doing research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。Finnish Translation: Be Aware of False FriendsFalse friends, those tricky words that are a translators enemy and that can be found in almost every document we translate, also exist between English and Finnish. 36So, whats a false friend? Well, as many of you might know, a false friend (from the French faux amis) is a word or an expression that shares a similar written form in two languages, but which has different meanings. 37 When you see them, you might assume they have the same meaning as a similar word in your native language.38 Even professional translators can be misled by a false friend. Thats why, as a translator, its necessary to be familiar with them. Remember that when it comes to translation, false friends are worse than bitter enemies, as the Scottish proverb says, and you should keep your eyes open, because they might be waiting for you around every corner.It seems no language is free of false friends. 39 During the years Ive been working as a translator, Ive come across many false friends; they were in that urgent assignment, or that translation I finished off without first having my coffee, trying to confuse me. 40 Therefore, I would like to help you in your war against false friends by sharing some of them with you.A.The Finnish language is no exception.B.Research key words while doing translation.C.This is the first of a two-part series on the topic.D.Therefore, false friends can cause a lot of problems.E.Luckily, I was able to spot them and translate them properly.F.Sometimes, even fluent users of a language can confuse them.G.So you should avoid a nightmare caused by it during your next translation project.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。“Kevin, we are getting a divorce,” said my mother.
