People cant take a package into the tiny housesB. All of the houses can hold more than two peopleC. These houses are convenient though tiny in sizeD. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size22.The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly _ A. by exampleB. by comparisonsC. by order in spaceD. by causes and effects23.Micro-homes are especially suitable for _ A. a young person who has many thingsB. a person who doesnt have much moneyC. a family wanting to protect environmentD. a family hoping to settle down in a city24.What can be the best title for the text？ _A. East or west， home is the bestB. Micro-homes - more than tiny!C. Home-hunting - no easy matter!D. Tiny or large， this is a choiceBAre you interested in higher education in the United States? The following advice might help you. College, University or InstituteCollege and universities offer undergraduate degrees in arts and sciences. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges dont offer graduate studies. Universities are generally bigger, offer more programs and do more research. An institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. Seventy-five percent of freshmen go there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts. The Application ProcessInternational admissions officers advise students to apply to at least three schools. You may be able to apply online and pay the application charge with a credit card, or by mail. You should study the websites of schools to find information about how and when to apply, how much it will cost and whether any financial aid is available. Get a Student CardIf you request a visa for the first time, you will have to go to an American embassy or consulate(领事馆). You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints. You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education. Financial AidAmerican schools provide aid, like scholarships, fellowships, to almost half of foreign graduate students, but only ten percent of undergraduates. But grants, which, unlike a loan, does not have to be paid.25.It can be inferred from the passage that American colleges and universities .A. have their own origins in institutes of technologyB. have both similarities and differencesC. can offer a wide choice of programs and activitiesD. provide about seventy-five percent students with art courses26. To apply for a vise for the first time, youll have to do the following things EXCEPT .A. paying an American embassy or consulate some moneyB. taking your picture and your fingerprintsC. showing a government form given by the American school admitting youD. providing evidence that you have enough money to pay for your education27.The purpose of the passage is .A. to make some moneyB. to provide foreign students with a guideC. to improve education qualityD. to attract foreign visitors to AmericaCWolves travel shorter distances and move slower during snowfall events, according to new research by University of Alberta biologists. The effects were most pronounced at night, when wolves hunt, and behaviour returned to normal within a day. Wolf tracks across snow in northeastern Alberta.“Our findings suggest that there is something about actively falling snow that causes wolves to slow down,” said Amanda Droghini, a former MSc student in the Department of Biological Science and lead author on the study. “We dont know the exact mechanism behind that. Its unlikely that they were staying still because they were feasting on a recent kill. Instead, active precipitation（降雪量）might affect wolves hunting abilities. Like rain, snow clears the air column of scent molecules. So, maybe falling snow makes it harder for wolves to detect the smell of prey.”Over the course of two winters, the researchers used remote cameras to disclose snowfall events and estimate snow depth. To study wolf movement, they collected telemetry（测距仪） data from 17 wolves to calculate travel speed and duration, as well as resting periods. It is the first study to examine how large flesh-eating animals respond to snowfall events.With the effects of climate change on precipitation in the north forest region uncertain, it is difficult to predict the implications for wolf populations. Studies such as these increase our understanding of how large mammals react to normal snowfall events, but the type and amount of winter precipitation will likely have an impact on animal behavior and the energetic cost of movement.“Winter is already challenging for many wildlife species because moving through snow requires more energy. Snow can also make it harder for animals to access food resources,” said Droghini, who conducted the research under the supervision of Professor Stan Boutin, Alberta Biodiversity Conservation Chair.“Anything that increases those costs, such as increased rain-on-snow events, could lead to lacking in nutrition, poor body condition, and even starvation as animals are unable to make up for those additional costs. That is one of the worst-case scenarios（设想）but, in truth, we know very little about potential changes to precipitation patterns and how wildlife will respond to those changes.”28.Which one is the closest to the underlined word “disclose” in paragraph 3?A. identifyB. overlookC. overcomeD. disturb29.Increased precipitation might have the following effects on animals except _.A. poor healthB. nutritional shortageC. hunting abilityD. losing appetite(食欲)30.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. researchers find it difficult to predict the implications for wolvesB. researchers have found the mechanism behind the phenomenonC. researchers have collected data by using modern technologiesD. researchers will most probably go on studying the phenomenon31.Where can we probably find this article?A. tourist leaflets.B. sports newspapers.C. science magazines.D. advertising posters.DWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2020 Pritzker Architecture Prize which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. That is only evidence that traditions once existed, he said.Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, he said.Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.32.Wangs winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are _.A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects33.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse functions.34.What made Wangs architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and West.C. The use of popular techniques.D. The harmony of old and new.35.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world. B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities. D. Recreate them in practice.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance.
