She left a note for her husband on the table, saying that she and their two sons, Eugene and Richard, had already left to visit Pforzheim, Germany, 90 kilometers away. She purposely didnt mention her means of transportation. It wasnt until Carl Benz checked the workshop in his factory that he realized his family hadnt taken the train. His new invention was gone. Bertha had just committed the worlds first car theft. Her husband was a brilliant engineer who had designed the worlds first automobile in 1885. However, without sharp business mind, his product wasnt going anywhere. Bertha understood what every modern business knows: marketing a product requires different skills than designing one. To provide a proof that the vehicle was reliable and could also master long-distance routes, she intended to drive with the motor from Mannheim to Pforzheim to show what it could do.Once the three hit the road, they had to conquer novel problems. At 2.5 horsepower, they could not climb steep slopes without pushing it from behind. Going downhill, the car burnt out the brake shoes. Bertha stopped off at a cobbler(修鞋匠) and asked him to equip the brake shoes with a leather lining. In so doing, Bertha Benz became the inventor of brake lining. The fuel amount was also underestimated. Bertha made her first fuel purchase at the Stadtapotheke, where the store still proudly displays a sign of being the first gas station in the world. Following the “first shock”, as written in his memoirs, Carl felt an inner pride in his wifes daring “test drive”. And sales soon stepped up with the spread of Berthas daring trip. Today, drivers can still experience this part of Mercedes-Benz success story along the Bertha Benz Memorial Route between Mannheim and Pforzheim, just as the first woman driver did.21. Whats the purpose of Berthas secret road trip?A.To save money on long-distance train fares.B.To teach children how to drive automobiles.C.To prove the performance of Carls invention.D.To apply the knowledge of modern business.22. What does the underlined word “novel” in paragraph 3 mean?A.SlightB.CommonC.AdditionalD.Unexpected23. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Pioneering Undertaking.B.A Regrettable Crime.C.A Surprising Discovery.D.A Creative Design.原创。Source: /bertha-benz-worlds-first-car-theft/BMichele Gentile, who founded the Ex Libris Cafe bookshop in Polla, a small town near Salerno of southern Italy, is offering free books to schoolchildren who bring him one plastic bottle and one aluminum can to recycle. The books being donated to local schools are the so-called pending or suspended books (libri sospesi in Italian), a concept introduced by Gentile a few years ago. The phrase comes from the suspended coffee, a local tradition born during World War II, when people would buy two coffees, one for themselves and the other one as a gift for the next needy customers who walk into the bar. Similarly, Ex Libris customers can buy one book and leave the second one suspended for whomever needs it.The idea of exchanging plastic and metal for books occurred to Gentile while he noticed a huge pile of metallic waste left on a field. It was worth at least 300 to 400 euros, enough to pay for a middle school kids book fees for a year, he said. So, I talked to a local school, and they organized an aluminum collection. Results were extraordinary, about 500 euros in two days. With the money he earned from the recycling center, Gentile bought books for a whole class.The first successful attempt later turned out to be a well-received program involving villagers and schools all across the region, and its influence even reached northern Italy, where children from Bordighera sent him 23 bottles and 23 cans to recycle. “My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment,” said the young bookseller. “I hope such an act becomes so popular that it affects the whole country.”24. What do we know about “suspended books”?A.They can be bought from Gentiles shop.B.They came into being during World War II.C.They are gifts for those who buy two coffees.D.They aim to help schoolchildren in need.25. According to paragraph 3, what can we infer about recycling in Polla?A.Most metallic waste remains unrecycled.B.Recycling aluminum products is rewarding.C.Local schools are partners of recycling centers.D.Only plastic and metals are paid for recycling.26. Which of the following word best describe Gentile?A.Sensitive. B.Indifferent.C.Enthusiastic. D.Wealthy.原创。Source: /2019/02/15/europe/books-free-children-plastic-recycle-intl-scli/index.htmlCLaughters significance has been recognized throughout history by such scientists and philosophers as Aristotle, Kant, Darwin and Freud. Yet besides a general appreciation that laughter is good for us “the best medicine” and is related with humor, we know little about laughter itself.The sound waveform analysis of giggles and belly laughs in lab has indicated special features of laughter. A laugh consists of a series of short notes, each about 75 milliseconds long, which are repeated at regular breaks about 210 milliseconds apart. A specific vowel sound (元音) does not necessarily mean laughter, but similar vowel sounds are typically used for the notes of a given laugh. For example, laughs have the structure of “ha-ha-ha” or “ho-ho-ho”, but not “ha-ho-ha-ho”. Other types of note difference often involve the first or last note in a laugh. Thus, “cha-ha-ha” or “ha-ha-ho” are possibly heard.Such characteristics of human laughter is partially a result of the physical limitations of our tongue, throat and lungs. It is difficult to laugh with longer notes, such as “haaaa-haaaa-haaaa”, or shorter notes much less than 75 milliseconds. Likewise, normal note length with abnormal breaks, namely “ha-ha-ha”, do not generally occur. As with the natural rhythms of walking or running, there are only so many ways to laugh.There is a common misbelief that laughter is unique to human beings. Since the time of Darwin, however, it has been known that chimpanzees perform a laugh-like sound during play. What human laughter and chimpanzee laughter differ actually is the way laugh notes and breaths combine. When humans laugh, the three-note “ha-ha-ha” is produced within one single breath out. On the contrary, chimpanzees have to breathe in for each laugh note before producing the next “ha”. This may also explain why such animals fail to speak English like us while they can learn sign language.27. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.A. importance of laughter in ancient timesB. the medical value of laughterC. the relationship between humor and laughterD. the level of knowledge about laughter28. What can be an example of an unnatural laugh?A. Oh-ha-ha-ha B. Oh-ha-oh-haC. Ha-ha-ha-hoD. Cha-ha-ha-ha29. We cant naturally laugh with notes longer than 75 milliseconds, because_.A. vowel sounds must be made shortB. running prevents human laughterC. organs for speech are weak in doing soD. longer laughter is not popular in human society30. What can be inferred about chimpanzees?A. Darwin found evidence of their style of laughter.B. An extra breathing out is made when they laugh.C. Their hands and fingers can make subtle gestures.D. They cannot produce a three-note laugh.原创。Source: Provine, Robert. (2000). Laughter: A Scientific Investigation.

However, a bad PowerPoint presentation can be confusing, annoying, and damaging. _31_. Here are some expert advice that you may find useful.l Add pictures to grab attention. Templates(模板) provided by the software itself are repeatedly used, which makes the audience easily bored. _32_. Sometimes presenters like to have many images on one slide, making it like a photo album. This is way too far, because our brains just cannot process all those pictures within a short period of time. l Improve reading experience with the right fonts(字体). Some people just cant read fancy lettering, especially if you are doing presentations for people whose first language is not English. _33_. Thankfully, there are lots of easy-to-read fonts you can get from your word processing software you use, such as Word. l Control the amount of words with clear lining. “Too much information”, or TMI for short, means that people cannot fully focus on the message delivered in long paragraphs. Studies have been done on how many lines of text a human can absorb or understand. _34_. Putting two or three lines of important information per slide is much wiser.l _35_. When we were kids, we enjoyed doing so for everywhere we wrote because its fun. But presentation isnt meant for children, and its not meant to be fun, either. Its foolish to use different colors in one word, particularly the title. Your audience dont expect to strain the rise to figure out what that word is. A.Do not use different colors all over the place.B.A beautiful PowerPoint presentation is a must, for either work or school.C.It ruins your presentation and causes poor communication.D.Limit your choice of color other than black.E.If there are more than six, people will get lost.F.Therefore, images can make your presentation more interesting. G.Instead, they prefer more traditional styles.原创。Source: /how-to-give-the-best-powerpoint-presentation/第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。I used to have an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs.

With lab proof of reduced-harm of e-cigarettes, tobacco smoking among US teenagers has decreased in the past few years. Despite that, public health studies have found information about its side effects on adolescents smoking habits.The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently conducted a year-long survey, which involved 2,530 public high school students who were either non-smokers or e-cigarette smokers. At the start of the school year, 222 of the ninth-graders that took part in
