19、hina, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. The emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers there. In Mandarin, the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purp

20、le. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred (神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the member

21、s of his family and his officials to a feast. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoners family for three generations.Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world.

25、 attitude by thinking of something bright and happy.However, scientists from Queens University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.“It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also a

26、ffects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent. Scientists believed that the way we remember emotional messages is affected by our mood. Those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than active messages, especially when th

27、e information is about them. In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机). Half of the people were encouraged to imitate a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept equal for both gr

28、oups. During the time on the treadmill, the scientists read out a list of active and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember. As expected, those who had been mimicking a

29、depressed walk remembered more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner. This finding means that our walk influences the way we treat information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.28. What new way did scient

30、ists from Queens University possibly find to change negative thoughts?A. Walking like a happy person. B. Thinking of something bright.C. Doing something happy. D.

In Janu

33、ary, 2019, the discovery of new fast radio bursts (FRBs,快速射电暴) from deep space got many to ask it again. According to Mirror, a Canadian led team of scientists found 13 FRBs with the help of a radio telescope. First discovered in 2007, FRBs are short bursts of radio waves coming from far outside the

34、 Milky Way(银河). Scientists have found over 60 FRBs so far. They last only a few milliseconds but release the same energy as the sun gives off in a day. Among the 13 FRBs, a very unusual repeating signal was found, which came six times from the same location about l.5 billion light-years away. Such a

35、n event has only been reported once before, back in 2012. It may help scientists understand where FRBs are from and what causes them. More importantly, the new FRBs were recorded at unusually low radio frequencies. Most of those previously found have had frequencies of around l,400 megahertz (MHz),

36、but new bursts are found at even 400MHz - the lowest frequency the telescope can discover. According to the BBC, the low frequency means that the sources of the bursts have changed. It also suggests humans can learn more about the environment where the bursts come from. Avid Loeb, a professor from H

37、arvard University, believes the radio waves may be evidence of alien technology. They may be leakage (escape) from a huge, light-powered ship deep in space, Loeb told The Independent. And even some Chinese internet users joked we shouldnt respond to them. However, most researchers believe that FRBs

38、are formed due to the death of a star or the merging (合并) of two black holes. Science isnt a matter of belief, its a matter of evidence, claimed Leob. So only more advanced technology and more collected data will reveal the truth about FRBs. Time will be the judge. 32. What can we learn about FRBs f

39、rom the text? A. They release less energy than the sun does. B. They are from somewhere in the Milky Way. C. They cover l.5 billion light-years in a second. D. The 400MHz FRBs may help man know more.33. What does the underlined “It”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The year of 2012. B. The repeating signa

40、lC. The radio telescope.D. The same location.34. Which statement might Leob agree with? A. More is needed to explore FRBs.B. We shouldnt respond to the FRBS.C. FRBs are from sun-powered ships in space. D. FRBs are formed due to the death of a star.35. Where is the text most probably from? A. A newsp

41、aper. B. A science fiction. C. A scientific report.D. A physics textbook.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。 This is an exciting time of year for a vocabulary lover, because the Oxford English Dictionary has released its word of the year. 36 .

However, there is good reason to be hopeful. It shows that at least we are not ignoring or hiding from the challenges. We see the wo
