The European Parliament(议会)voted for 1( cancel) the summer time by 2021. The next step is to discuss the issue with EU countries.

The current law 2( make) EU countries move their clocks forwards on the last Sunday in March and move them backwards on the last Sunday in October.

Some people say that the summer time saves energy, 3 the European commission (委员会) says that the 4 (save) are small. Also, most people in the EU want to cancel the summer time.

【答案】

1cancel(l)ing

2makes

3but

4savings

【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。文章对欧洲议会投票决定在2021年前取消夏季夏令时的新闻进行了报道。

1考查非谓语动词。句意:欧洲议会投票决定在2021年前取消夏季夏令时。分析句子,提示词所处的简单句已经有动词。故cancel需要用非谓语动词。又因为放在介词后,所以需用doing形式。故填cancel(l)ing

2考查时态。句意:现行法律要求欧盟国家在3月的最后一个周日将时钟调快,在10月的最后一个周日将时钟调慢。分析句子,并列句中除了make外,无其余动词。故make需表示动词的时态。make所处并列句强调的是客观实在性且被the current laws(现行法律)修饰。所以需要用一般现在时。且和主语之间表示主动关系。故填makes

3考查连词。句意:有人说夏季时间节省能源,但欧洲委员会说节省的量是很小的。分析句子,划线处前句表示“有人说夏季时间节省能源”,后句却说“欧洲委员会说节省的量是很小的”。可以看出前后句表示转折。故填but

4考查名词。句意:但欧洲委员会说节省的是很小的。分析句子,提示词为动词,但but后面的句子缺are的主语。故需将save变为名词被the修饰。又因be动词用are。所以主语要表示复数。故填savings

【题目】 Is there anybody out there? For centuries human beings have been wondering. As we've gained greater understanding of the universe, however, our searches have taken on a more concrete form. Questions about aliens have become a subject for science rather than science fiction and philosophy.

Now a new cooperation(合作)between the Very Large Array observatory in New Mexico and the privately funded Seti Institute in California could mean that our curiosity about aliens is closer than ever before to being satisfied. Data from the VLA's 28 giant radio telescopes will be fed through a special supercomputer that will search for distant signals. Scientists who work at the Seti Institute said the announcement means their research is now “almost mainstream".

How likely it is that a signal will be found, and what this might mean, are hard questions to answer. Seti's existing projects haven't detected any life signals from other planets so far. But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement to those who are enthusiastic about the likelihood, however remote, of detecting other civilizations.

While once it was thought that our solar system could be unique, since the discovery of the first exoplanet (a planet in another solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been located(确定位置). Around one in five stars are now thought to have a planet in their orbit in a so-called “habitable zone"—that is at a distance from the star where the temperature(neither too hot nor too cold) means that life is theoretically feasible.

If there is another life form somewhere, could it be as intelligent as us? Or cause a risk to us, as the physicist Stephen Hawking once warned? As investigations of Mars continue, our interest in the possibility of alien life appears clear—especially when conditions in our own earth appear even more unstable.

A.Global cooperation helps to study aliens.

B.Searching for aliens is becoming a trend.

C.Easy.D.Certain.

4In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Literature.B.Health.

C.Education.D.Science.

【题目】 Daniel Zhang, the former top manager of Alibaba, has larger shoes to fill now. In September last year, he took over the role of chairperson from Jack Ma, who decided to step down after building the $420-billion(十亿) internet business.

Zhang studied finance at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. After graduating from school he worked at a gaming company in Shanghai. The Shanghai native joined Alibaba in 2007 and played a key role in helping to drive Taobao to profit(营利). He is best known for starting the 'Double 11' shopping festival, which has brought in 50 million yuan in sales during the first festival in 2009 to 268 billion yuan in 2019.

As to leadership style, Zhang is very different from Ma. The latter made a name for himself as an entertainer, dressing up as Michael Jackson at company events. Zhang has kept a much lower profile(低调). 'Ma is a guy with many ideas. He is very, very creative, ' he said in an interview. 'I'm the guy who always wants to put my foot on the ground. ' The young chairperson, however, has never wanted a routine job or a predictable life—a message he gave to students during a 2016 event at his alma mater(母校).

Zhang now has his sights set on helping Alibaba further develop its New Retail strategy, which looks to combine online shopping. 'We strongly believe that brick-and-mortar stores(实体店) can create huge value, but their model needs to be upgraded,' Zhang said at a conference last year.
