10、harles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still of the speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some

11、 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining

12、 limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “

13、tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using compute

14、r software, her team had managed to link Homers theory to places where fossil deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from la

15、nd to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UKs Uni

16、versity of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food. the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convinci

17、ng. Cambridge Universitys paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land-based tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.1、Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained

18、limbs because of tidal pools?AAlfred Romer. BCharles Darwin.CHannah Byrne. DSteven Balbus.2、Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?AThere were larger oceans.BEarth was closer to the moon.CThe moon gave off more energy.DEarth was under greater pre

20、ns a previous theory.22（8分）It is not hard to find evidence of the success of the “sharing economy”, in which people rent beds, cars and other underused assets directly from each other, or via the internet. One pointer is the large amount of demand and supply. Airbnb claims that 11m people have used

21、its website to find a place to stay. Lyft, a company that matches people needing rides and drivers wanting a few dollars, has spread from San Francisco to 30-odd American cities. Another sign is the frothy values (泡沫价值) placed on sharing-economy companies: Airbnb is estimated to be worth $10 billion

22、, more than hotel chains such as Hyatt and Wyndham, and Lyft recently raised $250m from venture capitalists. But perhaps the most flatteringand least welcomeindicator of the sharing economys rise is the energy being devoted by governments, courts and competitors to preventing it.The main battlegroun

23、ds are the taxi and room-rental businesses. A court in Brussels has told Uber, another San Francisco ride-sharing and taxi-services startup, to stop operating in the city. Other cities have banned their services outright, or tried other ways of putting spokes in their wheels. Meanwhile the Hotel Ass

24、ociation of New York has been lobbying for (游说) stricter enforcement of a rule that bans absent owners from letting their apartments for less than 30 days, which makes most of Airbnbs listings there illegal.The newcomers opponents, whether competitors, officials or worried citizens, complain that th

25、e likes of Airbnb and Lyft dodge (躲避) the rules and taxes that apply to conventional businesses. Regulations exist to keep hotel rooms clean and fire alarms in working order, to stop residential areas being filled with unlicensed hotels, and to see that drivers are insured, checked for criminality a

26、nd tested on their knowledge of the streets. Cowboys such as Airbnb, Lyft and Uber, their critics claim, are a danger to an unsuspecting public.The objectors have half a point. Taxes must be paid: a property-owner who rents a room should declare the income, just as a hotel should. Safety is also a c

27、oncern: people want some assurance that once they bed down for the night or get into a strangers car they will not be attacked or robbed. Zoning (划分区域) and planning are also an issue: peace-loving citizens may well object if the house next door becomes a hotel.Sharing-economy firms are trying to mit

28、igate (缓和) these problems. They have tightened insurance cover for their drivers and have offered to collect hotel taxes. They have an interest in their participants good behavior: as hosts, guests, drivers and passengers all rate each other online, their need to protect their reputation helps to ma

29、intain standards and keep people honest. But if consumers want to go for the cheaper, less-regulated service, they should be allowed to do so.The truth is that most of the rules that the sharing economy is breaking have little to do with protecting the public. The opposition to Lyft and Uber is comi

30、ng not from customers but from taxi companies, which understand that GPS makes detailed knowledge of the streets redundant (多余的) and fear cheaper competition.This all argues for adaptation, not prohibition. An unlikely pioneer is San Francisco. Lyft and Uber got going in the city partly because taxi

31、s were hard to find, but the authorities have tolerated them. San Francisco bans rentals of less than 30 days, but is considering allowing people to let their residence, provided they live there most of the time, register with the city and pay its 14% hotel tax.1、According to Paragraph 1, the succes

32、s of the “sharing economy” is indicated by the fact that _.Amany people are trading their underused assets freely via the internetBgrowth in online rental demand has exceeded supply in many regionsCits total capital value has surpassed that of conventional businessDsharing economy companies are suff

33、ering from a number of attacks2、Opponents complain that the taxi and room-rental businesses _.Afrequently make anti-competitive market behaviorBare often involved in illegal business practicesCare lacking in necessary rules and regulationsDhave caused a lot of accidents and crimes3、By “have a half p

34、oint” in Paragraph 4, the author probably means the objectors “_.”Afail to indentify the safety problems existing among sharing economy firmsBhave overstated the dangers brought about by sharing-economy firms to the publicCfail to realize the need of zoning and planning in sharing economyDhave overe

35、stimated the impact of sharing economy firms on the traditional counterparts4、The author believes that the current opposition to sharing economy mainly reflects_.Athe mission of protecting the public Bthe complaints from service consumersCthe fear among conventional businesses Dthe dissatisfaction a

DPositive.23（8分） About 6 years ago, I was on a plane next to a woman. I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into “ignore pattern”, she

37、tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.“Hi: my name is Helga!”We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.AK.E.(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for th

38、at. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dads health was on the decline. Later her fathers physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3-hour plane ride, she sat in si

39、lence around strangers.When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part Ill never forget about Helgas story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked al me and said, “Houston, not

40、a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day.” It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isnt normal.Kindness isnt normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympat

41、hy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. Im reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help.So, Ive made it my mi

42、ssion to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. Im always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.1、What impressed the author most about Helgas story?AHelgas anxiety over her

43、 fathers sudden illness.BHelga had no one to talk to on her flight lo Arizona.CHelga was ignored by people around her when she cried.DHelga couldnt get over her sadness over her Fathers death.2、Which can best explain the underlined part “default setting” in paragraph 5?AUsual way of doing things.BUn

45、t?AComforting People in NeedBMaking Kindness NormalCIgnoring Unnecessary TroublesDPractising Kindness on the Plane24（8分） Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts(增进）happiness，according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “ Buy

46、ing time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks. The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One wee

47、kend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchasea gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time，from paying the neighbor s kid to run errands (跑腿）to taking an Uber instead of a bus.On the day they made the time-saving purc

48、hase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase， said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “

49、windfall” of $40，only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“ One reason， said Whillans，is that we re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that overburdened feeling in the

50、future. ” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing (外包）that task，” said Whillans，u or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. 1、In the Canad

51、ian experiment, the participants .Awere divided into two groupsBwere given $ 40 every two weeksCwere asked to give money to a neighborJ s kidDwere asked to spend the money in different ways2、According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?APaying much for a concert ticket.BTaking a

52、regular bus to get to work.CEmploying someone to clean the garden.DBuying themselves an expensive present.3、When it comes to spending money on buying time”， .Ano people would like to do itBa small percentage of people choose to do itCmore people will do it if extra money is givenDmost people like th

53、e idea but don t practice it in life4、What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling”in Paragraph 6 refer to?AThe good old-fashioned guilt.BThe feeling of spendingmoney on goods.CThe stress of having someone clean your house.DThe discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.25（10分） HONG K

54、ONG-Cross-border buses operated by Hong Kong companies on Friday started trial runs on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) in preparation for the bridges upcoming opening.“The trial runs, arranged by the governments of the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and

55、the Macao SAR, would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (设施) of the three places,” the Hong Kong SAR governments Transport and Housing Bureau told Xinhua.Two major cross-boundary coach trade associations in Hong Kong were invited to send buses and

56、members to participate in the trial runs.Freeman Cheung, secretary of Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association, said his association would run one bus with about 10 passengers on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of the trial runs.“Our bus started at noon from the Hong Kong Bound

57、ary Crossing Facilities and ran all the way to Zhuhai in about 40 minutes,” he said, adding that “the journey was smooth.”Alan Chan, secretary of another trade association who participated in the trial runs as a passenger, said the clearance procedures at boundary crossing facilities of the three pl

58、aces all went on well and smoothly.“The boundary crossing facilities of Zhuhai and Macao, in particular, are operated in a collaborative (合作的) way, which helps remarkably shorten the time needed for the clearance procedures,” he said.The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Es

59、tuary, is a mega-size sea crossing linking the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai city of Guangdong Province and the Macao SAR.The 55-km bridge is the longest bridge-and-tunnel (隧道) sea crossing in the world.The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport among Hong Kong, the Chine

60、se mainland and Macao, and to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.1、We learn from the passage that _.AAlan Chan participated in the trial runs as a driverBtwo coach trade associations in Zhuhai took part in the trial runsCthe HZMB is located at the
