19. 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。

Most young architects—particularly those in big cities—can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的) walls.

In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city's West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what be wanted to do, and "to treasure what was there—the walls, the rust, the light." Yocum said. "Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It's like an art installation (装置) in there—a slow-motion show."

Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.

Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.

(1)  According to the passage, it is _____ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.

 A．easy B．unnecessary C．unrealistic D．common

(2)  Yocum bought the old building because _____.

 A．it was a bargain to him

 B．it was still in good condition

 C．it was located in the city center

 D．it looked attractive from the outside

(3)  Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell _____.

 A．pulled rubbish out through the roof

 B．removed the skylights from the bathroom

 C．presented a slow-motion show in an art gallery

 D．built a kitchen at the back part of the old building

(4)  It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _____.

 A．benefited a lot from pulling down the roof

 B．turned more old buildings into art galleries

 C．got inspiration from decorating their old building

 D．paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery

(5)  The main idea of the passage is that _____.

 A．people can learn a lot from their failures

 B．it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building

 C．people should not judge things by their appearance

 D．creative people can make the best of what they have

20. 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。

Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different regions and areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone. With such a varied culture, adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should help you on your way.

Forget the stereotypes. Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Giving up pre-held ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and readily able to understand the culture you find yourself in.

Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different countries (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) and large quantities of different regions that all have their very own and very different traditions, dialects and even languages. Understanding the culture in a highland village is not the same as that in a southern English spa town will help you to avoid making mistakes.

Get used to small spaces. The U.S. is not only a huge county but we are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. Like all European nations, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments, cars and appliances are all small, so become familiar with small areas.

Go to the pub. The pub is a very important part of British culture and nothing will appeal to you more than a cup of beer. Students, work colleagues, friends and family all meet in the pub and it is used as a focus of social contact.

Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Making fun of someone in Britain isn't necessarily a bad thing. Teasing someone is a common way to show affection. As one British puts it, "You never make fun of someone you don't like him."

(1)  What's the main idea of the text?

 A．Cultural differences in Britain.

 B．The special British way of humor.

 C．How to adapt to British culture.

 D．How to communicate with British people.

(2)  The underlined word "stereotypes" probably means _____.

 A．different understanding of people and culture

 B．correct understanding of people and culture

 C．general information of people and culture

 D．pre-held knowledge of people and culture

(3)  When you are in Britain, it's likely that you _____.

 A．enjoy the luxury of space B．live in a small house

 C．drive a big car D．making mistakes

(4)  We can infer from the text that _____.

 A．there is no such thing as cultural differences in Britain

 B．you can have understanding of British culture in a pub

 C．British culture and American culture are quite similar

 D．British culture remains unchanged over time

(5)  According to the last paragraph, if someone makes fun of you in Britain,
it means _____.

 A．he is a closer friend of you

 B．he wants to make the atmosphere less tense

 C．he doesn't like you

 D．you don't understand British culture

21. 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

(1)  According to the passage, winners _____.

 A．deal with problems rather than blame others

 B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

 C．have responsible and able colleagues

 D．blame themselves rather than others

(2)  The underlined word "remedy" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.

 A．avoid B．accept C．improve D．consider

(3)  When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _____.

 A．find a better way to handle the problem

 B．blame him for his lack of responsibility

 C．tell him to find the cause of the problem

 D．ask a more able colleague for help

(4)  When problems occur, winners take them as _____.

 A．excuses for their failures B．barriers to greater power

 C．challenges to their colleagues D．chances for self-development

(5)  Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

 A．A Winner's Problem B．A Winner's Secret

 C．A Winner's Opportunity D．A Winner's Achievement

Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Yangquan, Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu's 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 hadn't expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction's highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem(《三体》,2006), nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It's 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 (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke's classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey (《2001 太空漫游》) in the early 1980s had a great effect on him and his inspiration (灵感).

"My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow stream finally embracing the sea. 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 beauty and mystery of the universe." Liu said.

But no matter how far away Liu's imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay grounded (理性的). In The Three-Body problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading (侵略) Earth. But unlike other alien stories, with their fancy weapons and strange creatures, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth (《流浪地球》, 2008), 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 (设想) and solutions are based on "hard science". Liu's works aren't simply daydreams.

Rather, it's the fact that his imagination is based on reality that makes it such a powerful tool. In this Liu is like his mentor (引路人) Clarke, who, we read on the website of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, believed that "Humankind's most powerful tool to shape its future is its imagination."

(1)  What did Liu Cixin do before he became famous in 2015? (within 15 words)

(2)  What are Liu Cixin's words quoted in paragraph 4 mainly to show? (within 8 words)

(3)  Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth in Paragraph 5? (within 10 words)

(4)  What's the text mainly about? (within 10 words)

(5)  Would you like to read Liu Cixin's novels? Why or why not? (within 20 words)

Hello, everyone! I'm happy to have a chance to talk about integrity.

As we all know, integrity is always our traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. And it is of great importance not only to our society but also to our personal charactor. But now there are many dishonest phenomena in our life. It does harm to our society. The news that bicycle deposit is difficult to retreat has aroused heated discussion on the issue of integrity. If a person loses integrity, perhaps he will lose the whole world. It is high time we emphasized and encouraged integrity. We can take effective measures to restore it. For example, we should tell truth. What's more, strict rules and regulations should be carried out to stop cheating on exams and taxes, etc.

In the end, I sincerely hope that everyone should be honest and I believe you will do everything very successfully.

That's all. Thank you for your listening.
