It's the 50th hour since our medical team arrived in Wuhan to help fight against the novel corona virus(新型冠状病毒). The situation here is far more grievous than what we imagined, with more suspected cases and an acute shortage of medical staff. We arc here to bring them hope, but it seems that we assume more responsibilities. The ward was almost overloaded during our first night shift and we continued to receive more patients. My colleague and I plunged into work without delay after wearing protective suits. However, an emergency occurred when a patient went into sudden cardiac arrest when we had just changed shifts. Yi Bingkun rushed to give chest compressions to the patient to make his heart beat again and I called a doctor for help. Though all rescue measures failed, the patient’s family, however, sent their gratitude to us. Their every single "Thank you" made me feel warm and that the efforts we had made were worthwhile. But Kun brought me more warmth. I once asked him whether he felt afraid about the possibility of becoming infected when saving the patient. He told me that, "Yes, I was really scared at the time because I do have my family and my kid. But I was more afraid that the life might disappear in front of me." I really admire his courage. Our night shift should have been finished at midnight, but it ended at 3 a. m. that night. We found our clothes were wet after we took off our protective suits. What is impressive is that my colleagues messaged us, asking why Kun and I didn’t come back with the clock pointing to 1 a. m.，2 a. m. or even 3 a. m. They urged us to let them know we were okay as soon as we came back. The weather is really cold but we feel warm from the bottoms of our hearts. Come on, all my colleagues! Come on, Wuhan! Come on, China! 24. When did the medical team arrive in Wuhan? A. On Saturday. B. On Sunday. C. On Monday. D. On Tuesday. 25. What does the underlined word "grievous" mean in the first paragraph? A. Puzzling. B. Positive. C. Satisfactory. D. Severe. 26. What can we infer about the patient? A. He soon recovered from the illness. B. He finally died of serious illness. C. He was rushed to another hospital. D. He was infected by a wild animal. 27. In the eyes of the writer, Yi Bingkun is . A. adventurous B. lucky C. brave D. careless C The fire of creativity doesn’t necessarily bum out after your youth. "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively(专有地)associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” says the lead study author, Bruce Weinberg of Ohio State University. According to the study, there are two types of innovators(创新者): conceptual and experimental. Weinberg and fellow researcher David Galenson think that those who tend to do their best work in their mid-20s are conceptual innovators, while those who peak in their 50s are experimental innovators. Weinberg and Galenson studied the works of 31 Nobel Prize winners of economics, placing the economists on a range of most conceptual to most experimental. The age at which an economist contributed the most well-regarded work to the field was taken into account, and the age at which the work entered the economic field helped to classify the economist’s creative peak(顶峰). Economists with a conceptual approach peaked in their 20s, while those who took the experimental approach peaked in their 50s. Most of the winners made their great discoveries after at least 25 years of hard work. The researchers correlated(与……相关联)their findings in economic achievements with those of scientific achievements. For example, they mention Albert Einstein as a conceptual innovator, who put forwards the famous Special Theory of Relativity at the age of 26. They suggest scientist Charles Darwin developed his most groundbreaking theories later on in life, which would make him an experimental innovator. This makes sense given that the theory of evolution was developed over many years through a long process of trial and error. None of this is to say that either type of innovative approach is exclusive to different age groups. It isn't unheard of for an older person to be a conceptual innovator or for younger people to innovate more experimentally. The research simply shows trends. Anyhow, there’s always a little room for a creative breakthrough-no matter your age. 28. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Creativity Is The Best When One Is Young B. Scientists Became Famous At Different Ages C. Experimental Innovators Peak In Late 50’s D. Creativity Isn’t Exclusive To The Young 29. From the third paragraph，we can reach a conclusion that . A. most winners made creative discoveries in their late 20’s B. award-winning economists tend to use conceptual approaches C. the majority of 31 winners were experimental innovators D. researchers interviewed Nobel Prize winners of economics 30. What do you know about experimental innovators? A. They inspire their creative ideas by a sudden spark. B. They slowly cultivate creative ideas over a long time. C. They tend to challenge most basic scientific concepts. D. They often make important contributions in literature. 31. What does the writer want to express in Paragraph 4? A. The findings are also applied to scientific fields. B. Scientists make breakthroughs by trial and error. C. Economic theories are based on scientific facts. D. Scientific discoveries call for many years of work. D Sports fans around the world are struggling to reconcile with the sudden loss of American basketball icon Kobe Bryant. The 41-year-old died on January 26, 2020, when his private helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California-about 30 miles away from Los Angeles. The crash also killed eight other passengers including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. The extremely heavy fog condition is believed to have been a major factor. Bryant, who spent his entire 20-year-basketball career as a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, was born in Philadelphia. The basketball star, who decided to turn professional after graduating from high school，was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick, and then traded to the Lakers. At just 18 years old, he was the youngest player to be drafted in NBA history. The trade proved to be lucky for the Lakers. By his third year, Bryant had moved from being a reserve to the starting line-up. He had also firmly established himself as a star. In 2000, Bryant led the Lakers to their first NBA championship since 1988. The dream team continued to dominate the league for the next two years. In addition to helping the Lakers win two additional NBA titles in 2009 and 2010, Bryant was also a member of the basketball team responsible for bringing home the Olympic Gold medals in 2008 and 2012. By the time he retired in 2016, the 18-time NBA All-Star had played a total of 1,566 games and scored an astounding 33,643 points-a record surpassed by only three players-Kareem Abdul-Jabar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), and Lebron James(33,655)-in the NBA’s73-year history. Though there are many ways to honor Bryant, the best way to pay tribute to one of the greatest sports heroes of all time may be to follow his philosophy on life: “Life is too short to be discouraged. You have to keep moving. Put one foot in front of the other, smile, and just keep on rolling.-Kobe Bryant，2008. 32. According to the passage, what probably caused the accident? A. Bad weather. B. Mechanical failure. C. The operational error. D. High mountains. 33. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Kobe Bryant turned professional player in high school. B. Kobe Bryant was selected by the Charlotte Hornets at 16. C. The Lakers won their first NBA championship in 2000. D. Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship in 2002. 34. Which of the following is true of Kobe Bryant? A. Kobe Bryant took part in the 2016 Olympic Games. B. Kobe Bryant was the first NBA All-Star in history. C. He helped the Lakers win five NBA championships. D. Kobe Bryant was the first shooting guard in NBA history. 35. Who scored the most points in the NBA’s73-year history? A. Lebron James. B. Karl Malone. C. Kareem Abdul-Jabar. D. Kobe Bryant 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。 All mammals have hair, commonly called fur when it’s on your cat or a koala. 36 For example, elephant hairs are more than four times thicker than an adult human. Normally，when the animal is larger, the hair tends to be thicker. 37 To learn the truth, a research team tested the strength of hair from eight different mammal species, including humans. They subjected those hairs to increasing levels of tension until the fibers broke. 38 But they were wrong. In fact, the thinner hair, actually, is stronger. They found that adult human hair was some of the strongest, and children’s hair-the thinnest of all-was even more lasting. Then, the team took a closer look at the hair with a scanning electron microscope. The microscope views revealed specific patterns of breakage in the keratin fibers, which are composed of a protective outer cuticle(外表皮)and an inner cortex(内皮层)that provides strength. The microscope images showed that the cortex of thicker hair tends to separate abruptly when broken. 39 40 In those cases，the trunk tends to break at an angle. And that kind of break is a sign of strength-it actually takes more tension to cause cutting than a clean break. The researchers found that the cutoff point between these two types of breakage was about 200 micrometers-about two and a half times thicker than human hair. A. But the inner cortex of thinner hair breaks off less evenly. B. And the thickness of individual hairs varies from species to species. C. Fewer than 1,000 human hairs can support an entire person’s weight. D. However, is it true that the thicker the hair, the more powerful it is? E. Compare the process to what happens when a powerful gust of wind blows a tree down. F. The researchers assumed that thick hair, from giraffes, elephants and boars, would be stronger. G. The hair we see may appear to be a simple structure, but in fact it is highly complex, especially at the microscopic level below the su而ce of the scalp. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。 Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Croup were stretching(拉伸)on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania.

That is certainly true of the images of brief moments of nature submitted by international ecologists and students for the British Ecological Society's(BES) annual photography competition. Here are a few of 2019’s winning entries."Red Night" by Roberto Garcia Roa "Red Night," a photograph of a snake curling(蜷缩)around a tree was declared this year' s "Overall Winner." Taken by Roberto Garcia Roa in Madagascar, the image captures both the beauty of the animal and its vulnerability(脆弱)to human threats like poaching(偷猎)and fires. It vividly reflects the conditions that these snakes are suffering."Flames in Flumes(水沟)" by Nilanjan Chatterjee Nilanjan Chatterjee’s picture of a water redstart, waiting to catch a waterborne insect near a small waterfall, won the judge’s approval for the best overall student submission. Entitled "Flames in Flumes," it was the photographer's attempt to highlight the struggle the river birds, which capture their prey from fast-moving currents, are likely to face from' the slowdown in water flow due to planned dams in rivers across India."The Rhino's Annual Haircut" by Molly Penny The engoing demand for rhino horns (犀牛角) has redueed the population of the magnificent animals to just 30,000 specimens globally, Ecologists in South Africa have to saw off the animals' horns, which regrow annually.

Malaysia, holding a box of McDonald's fries -by Nigel Taylor is just one example of how careless human behavior is endangering animals in the wild.
