    Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of experience? 1., but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.

2.. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other's stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

3.. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention to make her understand that he is admiring her. In fact, continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time to show affection that words cannot express.

However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener is attentive. 4., as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 5..

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

A. Quite the contrary

B. The same is in daily life

C. In a bus you may look at a stranger

D. Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude

E. This shows the listener is interested in your speech

F. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking

G. Sometimes it doesn't matter to look at someone too long

    For many Daylight Saving Time (DST:夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe,” said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”

With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,” he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”

In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”

However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.

A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.

1.Which is probably the best title for the passage?

A.Are you prepared for DST? B.Why DST was introduced?

C.What DST has brought to life? D.How DST has been popular?

2.What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?

A.Getting up earlier than before. B.Sticking to the daily routine.

C.Being aware of quality sleep. D.Getting well-prepared for DST.

3.The underlined word “acclimate” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by______.

A.adopt B.accelerate

C.adapt D.acknowledge

4.The passage is probably taken from______.

A.a scientific report B.an interview

C.a speech D.a statement

    If a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen(氮) dissolved(溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The consequence, if the bubbles (气泡)accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent body—thus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death.

Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression(减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthyosaurs. That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil (化石)bones that have caved in on them selves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.

Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the world’s natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

When he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triassic specimen(标本) showed evidence of that sort of injury.

If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quickly—and, most strangely, they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.

Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物) such as a large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully shark- and crocodile-free. In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey(猎物) as well as predator—and often had to make a speedy exit as a result.

1.Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?

A.A twisted body. B.A gradual decrease in blood supply.

C.A sudden release of nitrogen in blood. D.A drop in blood pressure.

2.The purpose of Rothschild’s study is to see________ .

A.how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends B.how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression

C.why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies D.when ichthyosaurs broke their bones

3.Rothschild’s finding stated in Paragraph 4________ ..

A.confirmed his assumption B.speeded up his research process

C.disagreed with his assumption D.changed his research objectives

4.Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs ________ .

A.failed to evolve an anti decompression means

B.gradually developed measures against the bends

C.died out because of large sharks and crocodiles

D.evolved an anti decompression means but soon lost it

    When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different―I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips?” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.

In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing (噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t ave to deal with people’ s questions, As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.

My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s side of the family, My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.

My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.

Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.

1.How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks?

A.She felt excited to show her difference.

B.She felt annoyed to give others an answer.

C.She was scared to be made fun of by people.

D.She was bored to be faced with the question.

2.Who has the similar birthmarks like the author?

A.Her mother. B.Her grandmother.

C.Her cousin. D.Her uncle.

3.What can be inferred about the author’s cousin?

A.She dislikes talking about her birthmark.

B.She never judges others by their looks.

C.She is more confident than the author.

D.She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.

4.What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Brilliant. B.Symbolic.

C.Harmful. D.Impressive.

    Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic. While driving in L. A. is similar to that in other areas, there are a few specific rules to note.

HOV lanes (车道)

On many L. A. freeways, one or more lanes at the far left are used as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. They usually have limited access and you can only enter or exit where there is a break in the double yellow line. Most HOV lanes require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three. Vehicles towing trailers (拖车) are NOT allowed in the HOV lane, regardless of how many people are in them.

Toll (收费) lanes

On certain freeways, the HOV lanes are double-purposed as toll lanes for people driving alone who have a FasTrak, an electronic toll collection system. Therefore, you also have to have one in that lane as a HOV, which is inconvenient if you’re just visiting. FasTrak is in effect on parts of the 110 freeway between the 405 and 10 freeways, and on parts of the 10 freeway east of Downtown L. A.

Cell phones

It is against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving without using a hands-free device. Holding a cell phone to your ear while driving will land you with a ticket.

Alcohol

Driving under the influence is taken seriously in L.A. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08%, but you can be charged with lower levels if they show you can’t function normally. Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in the trunk.

1.What do you know about HOV lanes?

A.They encourage people to share cars.

B.They are on the far right of freeways.

C.They are intended for larger vehicles.

D.They allow cars to enter over the double yellow line.

2.Which is surely against the road rules in L. A.?

A.Driving on the 110 freeway with a FasTrak.

B.Putting the cell phone in the car while driving.

C.Riding with an opened bottle of alcohol in back seats.

D.Going below the blood alcohol limit of 0. 08%.

3.Where is the text most probably taken from?

A.A traffic law. B.A road map.

C.A guidebook. D.A report.

Alipay Ant Forest has been awarded the United Nation’s highest environmental honor - the ''U.N. Champions of the Earth'' award. The statement was issued by UNEP(联合国环境计划署) on September 20.

The Ant Forest was started in the Alipay app in August 2016. It encourages users to adopt low-carbon activities - such as paying online and walking or taking buses to work instead of driving. Such behavior produces virtual ''green energy points. '' With enough energy points, users can grow a virtual(虚拟的) ''tree'' on their mobile phone. Then the virtual tree is planted by Alipay in areas that need reforesting.

By August 2019, Alipay Ant Forest has attracted over 500 million users. Their low-carbon behavior has resulted in 122 million trees in arid areas in China, including regions in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai and Shanxi. The influence has also traveled beyond China. Inspired by Alipay Ant Forest, the Philippines' leading mobile wallet service GCash added GCash Forest to its App in June 2019. Local users are encouraged to contribute to reforestation and environmental protection by adopting low-carbon activities in their daily lives.

''Alipay Ant Forest shows how technology can change our world, '' said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of the UNEP. ''Although the environmental challenges we face are disappointing, we have the technology and the knowledge to defeat them. '' she said.

Champions of the Earth is the U.N. 's flagship global environmental award. It was established in 2005 to recognize outstanding figures that have had a positive effect on the environment.

''We are truly honored to receive this Champions of the Earth award,'' said Eric Jing, Chairman and CEO of Ant Financial. ''Alipay Ant Forest reflects our belief that technology can and should be used for social good. Its popularity shows that the public is ready to take action to fight climate change, '' he said.

    We've all been in a situation where we ask our friend to the restaurant for lunch and find ourselves waiting at a table alone. We look around the room, notice all the other customers dining with someone, and suddenly become insecure that we're alone. Instead of starting a conversation with someone, we rush to grab our phones and stare at the screen until we are finally rescued by our late friend.

Long gone are the days when we start a conversation with the person next to us while sitting on the subway during the morning or evening commute. However, small talk, as well as the willingness to engage in it, is very important.

When humans engage in small talk, it actually provides a feeling of happiness. Those who socially interact are likely to increase their happiness and health, while others who shy away from social interaction are reported to feel disappointed and unhealthy, according to the Huffington Post. And small talk not only keeps us feeling happy and healthy, but teaches us how to stay calm in situations that we might not normally find ourselves in. Instead of feeling anxious and nervous, starting a conversation with people you don't know helps calm the nerves and provides a feeling of inclusion. An unfamiliar event with people you don’t know suddenly becomes gratifying.

But perhaps the most important reason why everyone should learn to engage in small talk is that it teaches us how to listen and truly form relationships. By asking a stranger some questions and showing interest in them, it helps establish new relationships, whether they are personal or business-related.

You should learn how to connect with someone and identify with people you don't know. So next time you're alone in a public place, try to reach out to others and start a conversation. It’s really not that hard.

1.What does the writer intend to describe through Paragraph 1?

A.Anxiety of being alone. B.Impatience with waiting for friends.

C.Addiction to smart phones. D.Absence of communication between strangers.

2.How many benefits of small talk are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

3.Which does the writer think most valuable for taking small talk?

A.Developing new relationships. B.Avoiding negative emotions.

C.Having more people to turn to. D.Learning some social skills.

4.Which word can replace the underlined one in Paragraph 4?

A.Typical. B.Peaceful. C.Enjoyable. D.Instructive.

5.Which might be the best title?

A.Let's Start Small Talk. B.How to Make Friends.

C.Drive Away Shyness. D.How to Start Small Talk.

    Mindy Scheier is on a mission to make fashionable clothing accessible to everyone. In 2014, she started the Runway of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps bring adaptive clothing to disabled people.

Scheier explained the inspiration behind her efforts. ''My son, Oliver, was born with rigid spine muscular dystrophy, '' she said. ''His lack of strength created challenges with typical clothing. After spending years in the fashion industry, I decided that there was an opportunity to combine my fashion experience with my others. ''

Scheier began to create trendy clothing that her son could wear with ease. For example, she used magnets and elastics(松紧带) in place of buttons and zippers. Those adjustments have enabled Oliver to wear the same style as his friends do, even jeans.

Scheier's vision extends beyond just helping her own son. ''I soon realized that millions of disabled people were also struggling to access fashionable clothing that meets their needs, '' she said. That was why she started the Runway of Dreams Foundation.

On September 5, 2018, the foundation held its annual fashion show during New York Fashion Week. The event showcased the foundation's new adaptive clothing. The show featured several disabled models, including Cole Gottlieb and Maddie Hostetter. Cole, a 9-year-old boy born with cerebral palsy, loves to play baseball and soccer. He was excited to participate in the fashion show. ''It lets me be a role model to others, '' he said. Maddie, aged 8, was born with only one full arm. ''I heard about Runway of Dreams from my mom, '' explained Maddie. ''Even though I can button clothes with one arm, the magnets have made it much easier for me. ''

Scheier-whose TED Talk was released in January 2018-credits her passion with the progress Runway of Dreams has made in the last few years. ''Passion allows you to not take no for an answer, '' she encourages. ''It allows you to keep going when faced with challenges. ''

1.What motivated Scheier to start Runway of Dreams?

A.Her fashion experience. B.Her talent for designing clothing.

C.Her sympathy for the disabled. D.Her son's special needs in clothing.

2.What most features Runway of Dreams?

A.It is a non-profit organization.

B.It employs the disabled as models.

C.It produces trendy clothing for the disabled.

D.It decorates its clothing with buttons and zippers.

3.Why does the author mention Cole and Maddie in Paragraph 5?

A.To draw people's attention to disabled models.

B.To promote the foundation's new adaptive clothing.

C.To call on models to participate in the fashion show.

D.To stress the influence of the foundation on the disabled.

4.What can we infer from what Cole and Maddie said?

A.They accepted the fact of being disabled. B.They were hopeful for their future.

C.They were grateful to Runway of Dreams. D.They dreamed of being role models.

5.What's essential in the growth of the foundation according to Scheier?

    Olivia Ries was just seven years old when she and her eight-year-old brother Carter adopted a cheetah(猎豹) in South Africa.

''When my sister and I first learned back in 2009 that species like the cheetah may be extinct in the wild by the time we have kids, it scared us. We knew we had to do something to help them, '' says Carter. ''There are so many people (young and old alike) who just don’t know what is happening to so many species, just like we didn't. Olivia and I want to make sure we reach as many people around the world as possible and help them to understand how serious the situation really is. ''

To do that, the kids started One More Generation (OMG), an organization with the motto: ''Preserving endangered species for one more generation and beyond. ''

Now, ten years later, Olivia and Carter have traveled all over the world spreading their message. They've been interviewed on national television, participated in marches and fundraisers and won awards for their work. In 2015, they were invited to Vietnam by the United States Embassy to participate in a program to save rhinos. All that they've accomplished for animals and the environment is much too long to list!

''Our number one message to everyone we meet is 'Remember, anyone can make a difference... if we can, you can too, '' says Olivia. ''We want all people to understand that what Carter and I are doing is not necessarily something special; it is something that we all should be doing. You can start small by simply adopting an animal. Do some research on the species you are interested in, and find a good organization offering adoptions. My brother and I take our birthday money and allowance money and adopt animals all the time. ''

1.How did Olivia and Carter feel when learning cheetahs faced extinction?

A.Angry and guilty. B.Shocked and concerned.

C.Anxious and helpless. D.Hopeful and determined.

3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell about Olivia and Carter?

A.They organized activities to raise money. B.They took measures to save rhinos.

C.They made efforts to list extinct species. D.They contributed a lot to dying species.

4.What do Olivia's words suggest?

A.Anyone can help by starting small.

B.Anyone can do something special.

C.Anyone should do research on species.

D.Anyone should donate to adoption organizations.

5.If you're to offer Olivia a gift, which might she expect most?

The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.

“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone shouted.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.

Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.

They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.

Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, whom they called Makcik. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors running for safety. The thought of fear  crossed his mind.

“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She hit against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

Paragraph 1:

Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.
