Im afraid not. What is that then?W: Well, it is here in todays paper.

But now researchers are warning about what they call thirdhand smoke. When you smoke dangerous matter from cigarettes get into your hair and clothing. As babies are the weakest, when you come to a baby, you pass it to the baby and increase the chances of disease in the baby.M: Is that so? In that case I have to say that I should never get close to a baby.W: Thats right. Actually all smoking parents should do the same or better give it up completely.Text 9M: Hello, welcome to our program “Today City”. Im Larry. Were going to Louisville Kentucky where our guest Michelle Ray comes from. She is proud of her middlesized city with a small town feel and big city dreams. Now, Michelle, tell us about your city.W: Thank you, Larry. Here is my city. Louisville is my city. The first place I take visitors from out of town is to the Highlands for shopping and night life. When I have delicious Asian food I always go to the Zen Garden which provides wonderful all vegetable dishes.M: Wow, thats interesting. Many people go for healthy food now.W: You can say that again. If I want to go camping and fishing, I go to the Red River area. For complete quiet I can hide away in my house with a good book from one of our public libraries.M: That all sounds very exciting. Im sure some of our listeners will include Louisville in their travel plan for their next holiday. Thank you, Michelle.Text 10M: We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they dont remember their dreams or they dont think dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they dont love themselves to even think about it.答案：15CABBA610CBACB1115CAABC1620CABAC第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。ASummer Camps 2019Digging for Dinosaurs (恐龙)June 10 to June 14, 2019; July 15 to July 19, 2019 $395 per personWhat is a paleontologist (古生物学者) and what exactly do they do?

In 1374, in some European towns, people did exactly that. They were struck by a dancing plague (瘟疫) that forced them to dance.This phenomenon (现象) was reported to have happened throughout parts of Western Europe, affecting people from the 14th to the 17th century. Hardly stopping to eat or even sleep, they would dance, sometimes for days on end, making this one of the strangest sicknesses in Western history.Over the next century, there were only a few outbreaks. However, in the summer of 1518, it reappeared in the city of Strasbourg, France. It all began with a woman called Mrs. Troffea, who started to dance crazily in the street.She was soon joined by 34 people within a week; by the end of the month, the crowd had increased to 400, most of whom were women. Again, people were dancing until they could no longer continue, with some finally dying from heart attacks or exhaustion. One report shows that the plague was killing around 15 people per day.As the plague worsened, concerned nobles (贵族) turned to the advice of local doctors, who said that the plague was a “natural disease” caused by “hot blood.” So the nobles encouraged more dancing.The reason behind their actions was they believed the dancers could only recover (康复) if they danced continuously night and day. The nobles even paid for musicians to keep the moving. Then, as before, it disappeared almost as suddenly as it had come.While these events may sound highly unbelievable, there is clear written evidence that it did happen.Now, historians and scientists are still trying to find out the true cause of this phenomenon.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章描述了人类历史上的一个未解之谜瘟疫舞。24What do we know about the plague?AIt cost some peoples lives.BIt took place twice in history.CIt affected people of all ages.DIt stopped in the 16th century.答案与解析：A细节理解题。由第一段中的“dance until you dropped dead”和第四段中的“with some finally dying”可知，一些人死于瘟疫舞。25Why did the nobles encourage more dancing?ATo see the hot blood.BTo kill the dancing people.CTo free people of the plague.DTo prove the doctors words.答案与解析：C推理判断题。由倒数第四段中的“they believed the dancers could only recover if they danced continuously night and day”可知，贵族们认为这些人只有没日没夜地跳，“瘟疫舞”才可能被治愈。26How did the plague disappear?AFor no reason.BWith local doctors help.CWith Mrs. Troffeas help.DBecause of some natural power.答案与解析：A细节理解题。由倒数第三段“Then, as before, it disappeared almost as suddenly as it had come”可知，这种瘟疫来无影去无踪。27Whats the purpose of the text?ATo show the history of dancing.BTo introduce a wellknown English saying.CTo provide information on the dancing plague.DTo explain the reason behind the dancing plague.答案与解析：C主旨大意题。文章介绍了一个未解之谜瘟疫舞，包括发生的时间、人们的表现及造成的影响等等。CSteel Vengeance, a worldrecordbreaking hybrid roller coaster (过山车), recently made its first public appearance at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio.The ride is constructed from both wood and steel (钢). A steel running track on a huge wooden base allows the ride to provide the types of twists (扭转) and turns that are not possible on wooden roller coasters.Steel Vengeance breaks ten world records, including tallest, fastest, and longest hybrid roller coaster. “It is just a roller coaster that you want to ride again and again，” said Tony Clark, director of communications at Cedar Point. The 90degree, 200foot drop on the first hill takes your breath away.At a recent event at Cedar Point, I experienced the excitement of the new ride firsthand. Thanks to my strong heart, I had a really cool time!THE MAKING OF VENGEANCE“The biggest part of making a roller coaster is planning it，” Clark said.Jason McClure, general manager of Cedar Point, added: “We have to get a main idea of the basics of the coaster and then plan a budget (预算)”WOOD, STEEL, AND HARD WORKRocky Mountain Construction designed and built Steel Vengeance. About 1.2 million pounds of steel and 1.4 million boards of wood were used to build the ride.Fred Grubb, cofounder of Rocky Mountain, noted that “people who design roller coasters for my company have to have firsthand experience building things with their hands, not just hold an engineering degree. When you have built things for yourself, you get it, and understand what will work.”Clark was pleased with the results. “We at Cedar Point are so happy with how Steel Vengeance turned out，” he said.McClure added：“What we put into this roller coaster was wood, steel, and a lot of hard work.”【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一架新建造的钢木混合结构过山车，这辆过山车打破了多项世界纪录。28What can we learn about Steel Vengeance?AIt is going through tests.BIt belongs to Rocky Mountain.CIt is made from both steel and wood.DIt was mainly designed by Fred Grubb.答案与解析：C细节理解题。由第二段中的“The ride is constructed from both wood and steel”可知，该过山车是钢木混合结构。29What advantage does Steel Vengeance have over wooden roller coasters?AIt will last longer.BIt cost less money.CIt took less time to build.DIt offers more kinds of twists.答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第二段中的“A steel running track on a huge wooden base allows the ride to provide the types of twists and turns that are not possible on wooden roller coasters”可知，与木结构过山车相比，该过山车能够实现更多高难度的翻转动作。30How did the author feel on Steel Vengeance?AWorried. BExcited.CFrightened. DShocked.答案与解析：B推理判断题。由第四段中的“I experienced the excitement. I had a really cool time”可知，作者乘坐该过山车时感觉很棒。31People who design roller coasters for Rocky Mountain must _.Ahold an arts degreeBbe roller coaster loversCbe skilful at wood workDhave built things themselves答案与解析：D细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“people who design roller coasters for my company have to have firsthand experience building things with their hands, not just hold an engineering degree”可知，想要成为该公司的过山车设计者，人们必须有亲手建造东西的经验。DTheres a small problem with a working holiday: working.It seems like a fantastic idea. You picture yourself learning a foreign culture, meeting locals and making friends. What you dont picture is the actual work.Some people manage to keep a fair balance between working and holidaying. Ive met plenty of working holidaymakers who are holding highpaying jobs that not only allow them to live in style, but that they also enjoy. Great. For most working holidaymakers, however, thats a daydream. Youre not working overseas to further your career youre working overseas to further your travelling expenses. And besides, most serious employers will take one look at that yearlong visa (签证), and laugh you out of the building.So you end up doing some of the jobs Ive done. Fruit picking. I did mine in the north of Scotland, which wasnt satisfying, given its a place with a summer in name only.Strawberries are a pain. Its a case of bending your back for about eight hours straight. Lettuces arent much better. Again, more back bending.Is picking fruit a nice way to spend a holiday? No.So I became a line cook at a restaurant in Edinburgh. There, because there were no formal training systems in Scotland, I was handed a white jacket and referred to as a “chef (厨师)”. And as a “chef”， I would pull out boxes of frozen chicken tikka masala (冷冻香料烤鸡咖哩), putting them in the microwave until they were just so.Again, not what youd call a fun way to spend a holiday.So when youre planning a working holiday, its worth thinking about what youre actually going to be doing, since thats how youll spend your time while youre away?Is it going to be enjoyable? Will you be able to meet people, make friends? Is it going to allow you the time and money to do other things, see other places while youre there?Remember, its not a working holiday if you spend
