Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.

Once March 29 was impressed firmly in the minds of British people, as this was the date when the UK was supposed to leave the European Union (EU).
The UK public voted to leave the EU almost three years ago. Since then, the UK Parliament has voted many times to determine the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. But British lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on any particular path. So the UK and EU member states agreed to push the Brexit deadline to April 12, hoping this would allow UK lawmakers to get a Brexit deal through the UK Parliament.
On March 29, British lawmakers rejected UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal once again. According to USA Today, the failure to reach an agreement was largely because hard-line (强硬的) lawmakers from Conservative Party didn’t feel the deal done with the EU adequately separates the UK from the EU. Meanwhile, many Labor Party lawmakers were in favor of closer ties with the EU. As a result, the UK has to announce a new plan before April 12, or leave the EU without a deal, and the latter one will bring the UK and the EU countries many influences. For example, the UK would have to face the fact that the price of imported goods for British people could go up as a result. Meanwhile, there could be long delays at borders between the UK and the EU countries if passport checks are strengthened.
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the German government would give British citizens living in Germany an initial period of three months during which their rights to live and work there would not change. However, they would have to apply for the permits of living in Germany during that period. The French Parliament has passed a law to give the government the power to introduce new measures to deal with a no-deal Brexit. The law covers, among other things, the rights of UK national a living and working in France.
More efforts to prevent a disorderly Brexit are still needed, but time is limited!
28. Why did the UK and EU member states push the Brexit deadline to April 12?
A. To wait for a new Brexit deal.
B. To make a no-deal Brexit plan.
C. To meet Theresa May’s request.
D. To have a better ties with the EU.
29. What does the underlined part “the latter one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Conservative Party. B. Labor Party.
C. Theresa May’s Brexit deal. D. The no-deal Brexit.
30. What will Germany ask British citizens to do for the possible no -deal Brexit?
A. Leave Germany within three months.
B. Continue to live and work in Germany.
C. Obtain living permits in the specific time.
D. Hand in the their passports as soon as possible.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present situation of the Brexit?
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful.
C. Ambiguous. D. Surprised.
D
The United States space agency, NASA, says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane (甲烷) gas on the planet. The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission.
Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.
Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by biological activity. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological processes, such as interactions between rocks and water.
It was not the first time Curiosity has found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. NASA officials even temporarily stopped Curiosity’s other activities to investigate further.
However, Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers. The scientists are continuing to study possible causes for the sudden increase.
Curiosity does not have instruments that can exactly identify whether the source of the methane is biological or geological. One leading theory is that methane is being released from underground areas created by possible life forms that disappeared long ago, Even though Mars has no active volcanoes, scientists believe it is also possible that methane is being produced by reactions involving carbon materials and water.
32．Why is the discovery of high level of methane on Mars exciting?
A．It is a very rare gas on Mars.
B．It’s evidence of life existence.
C．It can be used in further study.
D．It proves the existence of water.
33．What do we know about methane gas on the earth?
A．It is different from that on Mars.
B．It is mainly created by rocks and water.
C．It is mainly coming from living things.
D．It is as important as water and carbon dioxide.
34．What brought more puzzles to NASA scientists?
A．Sharp changes of methane amount on Mars.
B．The first time to find methane gas on mars.
C．Methane gas discovered several times on Mars.
D．The sharp drop in levels of methane gas on Mars.
35．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Volcanoes erupting on Mars.
B．Instruments equipped on Curiosity.
C．Possible life forms on Mars long ago.
D．Possible sources of methane on Mars.

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。
“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 36 They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.
But why is it often so calm before a storm? 37 According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “ fuel for the storm ,like petrol in a car. “
Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 38 So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.
39 First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system ,calm doesn't always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. 40 .
A. Science has given us the answer.
B. There is no definite answer to the question.
C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.
D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.
E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.
F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.
G. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature's temper.

Dear Mr. Smith.
I am Li Hua and have just finished the college entrance examination. I’m planning to study abroad after high school. Facing the problem which major I should take, I am writing to you to learn about the related information.
Firstly, what puzzles me most is what I should pay attention to when choosing majors, should personal interest be taken into consideration? Secondly, I’m good at mathematics and computer. So would you please recommend me some related majors that will have a beautiful future? Except both of the above, is there any other aspects that I need to consider when choosing majors? I would be much appreciated if you could give me some detailed advice and guidance.
I’m looking forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua.

The United Nations Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, meets each year to choose the latest additions to its World Heritage list. Today, we look at some of the recent additions:

Once March 29 was impressed firmly in the minds of British people, as this was the date when the UK was supposed to leave the European Union (EU).
The UK public voted to leave the EU almost three years ago. Since then, the UK Parliament has voted many times to determine the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. But British lawmakers haven’t reached an agreement on any particular path. So the UK and EU member states agreed to push the Brexit deadline to April 12, hoping this would allow UK lawmakers to get a Brexit deal through the UK Parliament.
On March 29, British lawmakers rejected UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal once again. According to USA Today, the failure to reach an agreement was largely because hard-line (强硬的) lawmakers from Conservative Party didn’t feel the deal done with the EU adequately separates the UK from the EU. Meanwhile, many Labor Party lawmakers were in favor of closer ties with the EU. As a result, the UK has to announce a new plan before April 12, or leave the EU without a deal, and the latter one will bring the UK and the EU countries many influences. For example, the UK would have to face the fact that the price of imported goods for British people could go up as a result. Meanwhile, there could be long delays at borders between the UK and the EU countries if passport checks are strengthened.
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, the German government would give British citizens living in Germany an initial period of three months during which their rights to live and work there would not change. However, they would have to apply for the permits of living in Germany during that period. The French Parliament has passed a law to give the government the power to introduce new measures to deal with a no-deal Brexit. The law covers, among other things, the rights of UK national a living and working in France.
More efforts to prevent a disorderly Brexit are still needed, but time is limited!
28. Why did the UK and EU member states push the Brexit deadline to April 12?
A. To wait for a new Brexit deal.
B. To make a no-deal Brexit plan.
C. To meet Theresa May’s request.
D. To have a better ties with the EU.
29. What does the underlined part “the latter one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Conservative Party. B. Labor Party.
C. Theresa May’s Brexit deal. D. The no-deal Brexit.
30. What will Germany ask British citizens to do for the possible no -deal Brexit?
A. Leave Germany within three months.
B. Continue to live and work in Germany.
C. Obtain living permits in the specific time.

The United States space agency, NASA, says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane (甲烷) gas on the planet. The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission.
Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.
Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by biological activity. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological processes, such as interactions between rocks and water.
It was not the first time Curiosity has found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. NASA officials even temporarily stopped Curiosity’s other activities to investigate further.
However, Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers. The scientists are continuing to study possible causes for the sudden increase.
Curiosity does not have instruments that can exactly identify whether the source of the methane is biological or geological. One leading theory is that methane is being released from underground areas created by possible life forms that disappeared long ago, Even though Mars has no active volcanoes, scientists believe it is also possible that methane is being produced by reactions involving carbon materials and water.
32．Why is the discovery of high level of methane on Mars exciting?
A．It is a very rare gas on Mars.
B．It’s evidence of life existence.
C．It can be used in further study.
D．It proves the existence of water.
33．What do we know about methane gas on the earth?
A．It is different from that on Mars.
B．It is mainly created by rocks and water.
C．It is mainly coming from living things.
D．It is as important as water and carbon dioxide.
34．What brought more puzzles to NASA scientists?
A．Sharp changes of methane amount on Mars.
B．The first time to find methane gas on mars.
C．Methane gas discovered several times on Mars.
D．The sharp drop in levels of methane gas on Mars.
35．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Volcanoes erupting on Mars.
B．Instruments equipped on Curiosity.
C．Possible life forms on Mars long ago.
D．Possible sources of methane on Mars.

“The calm before the storm” is a very familiar expression. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. 36 They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become calm and the winds would drop.
But why is it often so calm before a storm? 37 According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and damp air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “ fuel for the storm ,like petrol in a car. “
Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. 38 So once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.
39 First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. A good judgement is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system ,calm doesn't always go first. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. 40 .
A. Science has given us the answer.
B. There is no definite answer to the question.
C. Weather reports sometimes cannot be trusted.
D. British sailors coined the phrase in the late l600s.
E. As the air declines, it becomes warm and dry, which is stable.
F. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.
G. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display of nature's temper.

Dear Mr. Smith.
I am Li Hua and have just finished the college entrance examination. I’m planning to study abroad after high school. Facing the problem which major I should take, I am writing to you to learn about the related information.
Firstly, what puzzles me most is what I should pay attention to when choosing majors, should personal interest be taken into consideration? Secondly, I’m good at mathematics and computer. So would you please recommend me some related majors that will have a beautiful future? Except both of the above, is there any other aspects that I need to consider when choosing majors? I would be much appreciated if you could give me some detailed advice and guidance.
I’m looking forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua.
