1 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Throughout our life we likely suffer from various illnesses. When you are ill, you must be unpleasant because of your body    1    (usual) becoming hot, and there are pains all over your body. You may have no desire to work and just stay in bed,     2    (feel) very sad.

What     3    (make) us ill? It is germs（病菌）.Germs,     4     can’t be found with your naked eyes, are everywhere. They are very tiny,     5     you can still see them with a microscope. There could be    6    (thousand) of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So you won’t be allowed     7    (drink) dirty water by your father and mother.

Germs exist in water and often they     8     (find) in air and dust as well. If you cut your finger, if some of    9    dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs will go into your finger. Your finger will become big and red and you will feel very     10    (pain). Sometimes the germs will enter into all of your body, and you will have pain everywhere.

2 . Why do most of us live our life always caring what people might say or think? Some of the decisions we make are just to please the outside world around us. I have always lived life pleasing the ever over-demanding society. This had a great effect on my search for authenticity (真实性). I only felt good enough when people paid attention to me. So I would frequently do things to catch people’s eye instead of placing emphasis on what really matters to me.

A recent experience changed my view. I had been looking for a tailor to mend some of my clothes. With the help of a few friends, I found one, who just so happened to go to the same gym as me. As we chatted, he shared his story and his use of drugs for muscle development with me. In his words, he weighed over 240 pounds and was the envy of a lot of people. So many people wanted to be like him and have a body like his, which made him use more drugs.

But within two years something happened. He began to have problems with his liver. The doctor advised him to stop using drugs and give up lifting heavy weights for a while. This was a hard decision because he had got so used to the attention from people. He didn’t want to give that up; who would? Right? That was it. He made me understand how he lived his life for people. He lost sight of what was best for him.

He told me not to live life thinking about too much what people think, feel, or say. Instead, live life with meaning. His story really has an effect on me. I have to look at my life to see what I do. I am not saying we shouldn’t take the advice of others into consideration, but we must work hard for continuous self-awareness (自我认识). If we can know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, we can realize just how important that thing is to us.

China and Western countries may have different     1     (culture) beliefs about certain animals but when it comes     2     pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement-that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid     3     shameless. Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the idioms of “Boiling a dead pig”, and “A pig     4     (look) in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. None of them are exactly complimentary. But the truth is that pigs do have some good     5    (quality).And there’s probably no better time to clear their names than now, with     6     arrival of the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival.

For starters, science long ago     7    (prove) that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a paper published in 2017 in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are “    8    (mental) similar to dogs and chimps”. They enjoy     9    (play). And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don’t. There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig, for example, a UK animated television series that began in 2004,     10    (become) one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions ever since.

6 . A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend—a bear.

The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother’s house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police. Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still-no Casey.

Then on January 24, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some briar. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his “friend”. Sheriff Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. However, the sheriff said, “He did say he had a friend with him in the woods that was a bear.”

Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military.

7 . Things That You Can’t Miss in Macao

Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump

The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as eating and entertainment. One of the exciting activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest bungee jump in the world.

Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner

Macao was colonized by Portugal (葡萄牙) before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.

Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.

8 . Vegetarianism is growing in popularity in a lot of countries. And now, South Africa is one of them. Today, more and more South Africans are experimenting with the vegetarian (素食者) way of life by cutting meat out of their diet.

Some others are exploring veganism. Vegans (纯素者) are similar to vegetarians but they avoid all animal based products, including mike and eggs. Some vegans even do not eat honey. There is no official count of how many vegans there are in South Africa. But the interest has led to the birth of vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Johannesburg, the nation's economic center. And this year, Africa's first big vegan and plant-based festival was held in Cape Town. The Vegan & Plant Powered Show took place at the end of May.

But veganism can be a lonely road for many South Africans. The country is Africa's top consumer of meat from cows, pigs and sheep, based on information from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Many South Africans express shock at the thought of giving up meat, which is central to celebrations and spirituality.

This is an issue for many African vegans, including Anesu Mbizvo. “In African traditional culture, a big part of a family's worth is their livestock (家畜), which decide the wealth of a family. And so when an African kills an animal at a gathering, it's thought that he would give away his wealth.” But she adds, “Offering home grown vegetables would not be considered to be valuable. I think that thought mainly prevents some people of African cultures from being vegans.”

Some South Africans are finding their path somewhere in the middle, Thirty-one-year-old Thandiwe Ngubeni is a communications specialist. She still eats meat but less and less of it as time goes by. “I feel more energetic when I eat a vegan meal. It actually gives me more energy.”

1. What can we learn about vegans?

A．They can drink milk.	B．They eat some animal meat.
C．They enjoy opening vegan restaurants.	D．They refuse any product based on animals.

2. What mainly stops some Africans being vegans according to Anesu Mbizvo?

A．Too many animals in the wild.	B．Traditional views of livestock.
C．The influence from other countries.	D．Not enough vegetables in the restaurant.

3. What do we know about Thandiwe Ngubeni?

A．She is a vegan.	B．She is an animal specialist.
C．She expects to eat more meat.	D．She eats less and less meat.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A．Vegans'Behaviors Are Too Extreme.	B．Vegetarians Are Not Popular Any Longer.
C．Many South Africans Welcome a Vegan Lifestyle.	D．Meat in South Africa Will Become Less Delicious.

9 . Many Americans are busy preparing lists of what to give friends or loved ones. This season, people will be able to buy a cargo-carrying (载货) robot that follows them around like a dog. But it is unclear if the robot will be a popular gift.

Large companies like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to homes across the United States. Now an Italian company is offering robots directly to consumers (顾客). The new robot, called “the Gita”, weighs about 23 kilograms and costs $ 3,250.

The robot's creators had short trips in mind when they designed it. “The Gita” is a “hands-free carrier" that can hold fruits, vegetables and other things as it follows its owner down the street. “The Gita” does not. require use of a telephone; it also does not use GPS technology or facial recognition.

Whether the robot will be a success is not yet clear. Tech experts say “the Gita” may fail. They hope the company finds more purposes of using it to contribute to its success. Examples include carrying tools around hospitals, factory floors or places where products are stored. The robots can carry up to 9 kilograms, So far, the best places to find the company' s six wheeled robot are US colleges: The University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin Madison.

Sadie Garcia is a student at the University of Houston. “I love them. I think they're so cute," she said, as one of the machines arrived carrying a sandwich for her in the dining hall. Garcia said she was so cold that she did not want to leave her room. Starship co-founder Ahti Heinla said his company once thought about selling the machines directly to consumers. But the business dropped the idea after discovering it would have to sell them for more than $ 3,000 each.

1. What is"the Gita"designed to do?

A．Fight with other robots.	B．Buy things for its owner.
C．Carry things for its owner.	D．Help college students do homework.

2. What do tech experts expect the company to do for“the Gita”?

A．Find more uses for it.	B．Keep advertising it.
C．Improve its reaction rate.	D．Encourage hospitals to use it.

3. What stops“the Gita”from being sold directly to consumers?

A．The low quality.	B．The high price.
C．The limited number.	D．The poor performance.

4. Where is this text most likely from?

A．A science magazine.	B．A detective story.
C．A travel guide.	D．A life diary.

10 . Many cultures follow different calendars and celebrate the New Year at different times. The Lunar New Year is one example.    1    . Here is a look at a few of them:

Getting rid of bad luck

Many cultures have traditions meant to scare off demons (恶魔) and bad luck. This often involves using fire or loud noises—or both—often in the form of fireworks!    2    . For example, just before the New Year, people in Denmark find the highest surface they can and jump from it as the New Year starts.

    3    .

Many cultures have certain foods that are said to bring good luck. In the southern part of the United States, people often eat black-eyed peas and pork for good luck in the New Year. In other parts of the U.S., people eat sauerkraut with pork sausage on New Year’s Day. And in Japan, people eat soba noodles on New Year’s Eve,     4    —which represent longevity (长寿).

Clothing traditions

    5    . But some traditions take it a step farther than that. In Japan, for example, people who believe in Buddhism may dress up like the zodiac animal for the coming year. Then they go to a temple to, literally, ring in the New Year. At Buddhist temples, monks will ring a bell 108 times, one for each humanly sin.

A．Food for good luck

B．All kinds of cultures

C．Before they drink, they will always pray to God

D．While they eat, they try not to break the long noodles

E．Of course, some traditions meant to avoid bad luck do not involve fire at all

F．To start the New Year off on the right foot, many people like to wear new clothing

G．No matter when you celebrate, there are many traditions around the world for ringing in the New Year
