【题目】 I took a job as a receptionist for a vet almost five decades ago. As a keen animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn’t have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn’t bear to see any creature in pain.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman puppy in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four- month-old pup had been hit by a car.

The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal’s body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, stitching him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine(脊椎). If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.

That day forever changed my life. The vet mentored me, and I became his assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from withering.

Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.

Fas-forward about a year, I walked into the clinic’s crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and rushed toward me. I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!

I am still amazed at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago. I went on to be a vet tech for 14 years, and since retirement, I’ve volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter.

1Why was the author unwilling to assist the vet with injured animals at first?

C.She had no experience of tending animals.D.She would feel sad seeing animals injured.

2After the operation, the author thought the puppy___________.

A.would not surviveB.would lose the ability to walk

A.A dog’s gratitude.B.An experience in clinic.

【题目】 Apps from Chinese developers have been gaining popularity on Indian app stores for some time. In 2018, as many as 44 of the top 100 Android apps in India were developed by Chinese firms.

But things changed last year as local developers put on a fight. According to app analytics and marketing firm AppsFlyer, Indian apps as a whole have recaptured their original standing.

Indeed, 41% of the top 200 apps in Indian editions of Googl's Play Store and Apple's App Store in the second and third quarters of last year were developed by Indian developers and local firms, up from 38% in 2018, the report said. Data from App Annie, another research firm, corroborates (证实) the claim.

"This uptick happened mainly at the expense of Chinese apps, which fell from their lead position to 38% from 43% in 2018. Altogether, Chinese and Indian apps make up almost four-fifths (79%) of the list," the report said.

The change comes as scores of Indian firms have launched payments, gaming, news and entertainment apps in the last year and a half, said AppsFlyer, which analyzed 6.5 billion installs (安装)in the second and third quarters of last year.

But Chinese developers are not giving up, and continue to keep an "impressive" fight in each category, the report said.

India, which is home to more than 450 million smartphone users and keep relatively loose laws to support an open market, has naturally appeared as an attractive battleground for developers worldwide.

Many Chinese firms, including Xiaomi and ByteDance, regard India as one of their largest markets. Tik Tokapp has amassed(积累) more than 200 million users in India, for instance. Xiaoni, which leads the Indian smartphone market, is quickly building a series of services for users in India.

It launched a lending app the in country earlier in November 2018.

1Because Indian firms launched varieties of apps in 2019__________.

A. Chinese apps lost their lead position.

B.Chinese developers gave up their competition.

C.India apps make up most of the top 200.

D.the percentage of Chinese apps went down sharply.

2The underlined word uptick in the 4th paragraph most probably means__________

A.Sharp decrease.B.slight increase

C.a little fallD.statistical data

3Many Chinese developers compete for Indian markets for all the following reasons except_________

A.huge market need.

B.laws in favor of foreign firms.

C.a market system open to the world

D.absolutely fierce competition.

4What attitude did the author hold when analyzing the market situation?

A.CriticalB.Confused

C.SubjectiveD.Objective

【题目】 Rainbow-coloured rubbish is the colourful waste created by a Swedish city with a unique recycling system. Like many cities in Sweden, Eskilstuna has an impressive recycling record. It met the EU's 2020 target of recycling 50% of waste many years ago.

Almost everyone who lives here follows a strict recycling policy at home. People are expected to sort their household waste into seven separate categories, including food, textiles, cartons and metal. But what really makes the system stand out is the bright colour code.

The reason for this becomes clear at the city's recycling plant. The bags arrive all jumbled up(被混在一 起)because they're collected altogether, once a fortnight from outside people's houses.

But thanks to those bright colours, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently. The food waste in green bags is processed on site into slurry to make biogas, which powers the city's buses. One of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross-contamination, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things.

Like the rest of Sweden, Eskilstuna is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to landfill. Waste that cannot be recycled is incinerated(焚化)at a local plant to generate electricity. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels, but does create greenhouse gases.

As countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may think of Eskilstuna as an example to follow, as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting at home.

1What can we say about the recycling system used in Eskilstuna?

A.It is a colorful policy.B.It is a temporary success.

C.It is an ordinary recycling system.D.It is a practical method of recycling.

2What really makes the system of rainbow-colored recycling outstanding?

A.The strict recycling policy.B.The self-discipline of citizens.

C.The bright colour.D.The eco-friendly code.

3Why is the non-recyclable waste burnt to ashes at a local plant in Eskilstuna?

A.To send zero waste to landfill.B.To make electricity.

C.To reduce dependence on fossil fuels.D.To decrease greenhouse gases

4What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Some countries set a good example to Eskilstuna.

B.Eskilstuna follows in the footsteps of other countries.

C.Some countries may adopt the system of rainbow-colored recycling.

D.Eskilstuna may force its citizens to get busy sorting at home.

【题目】请阅读下面文字, 并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

There’s no doubt that work deadlines can be stressful. When you have too many, you can feel overcome. And nearing deadlines encourages last-minute dashes for the finish line, like when students pull ‘all-nighters’ in an attempt to achieve weeks’ worth of essay writing in a handful of hours.

Yet there’s no question deadlines can serve a positive psychological function-after all, without them, many students might never even finish their work. You can see evidence for the power of deadlines in the ‘real world’, too. For instance, in 2015, when the US National Science Foundation dropped its usual twice-yearly deadlines for grant submissions in geoscience, as part of an attempt to help the overburdened system, the effect was dramatic. Annual submissions fell by 59% without the pressure of a deadline and it seems that many scientists lacked the urgency and motivation to deliver their applications.

As new research findings shed light on the psychology of deadlines, we can learn ways that deadlines can be used to increase focus and boost perseverance.
