11、onged in the home. That meant they should not get involved with public life.But women in Europe, North America and New Zealand began _33_ this situation. They believed that they should have a(n) _34_ in their government's leaders. In 1792 an English novelist named Mary Wollstonecraft _35_that wo

16、g passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The search for new, clean energy sources have occupied the attention of scientists and politicians for years. One common _41_ for green energy is the wind. A new twi
17、st on this old resource could cause energy output of wind-power plants to increase greatly.Standard wind power plants rely on strong support and _42_ can only reach the height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and steadier, but the challenge is _43_ how to obtain the e
18、nergy from those winds.Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with inflatable (可充气的) wings _44_ to electrical generator (发电机) on the ground.The research g
19、roup's goal is to design a kite that can operate on its own for 24 hours. Research has begun, but many challenges remain, including making the generator more _45_ and perfecting the automatic flight control and structure of the kites. Nevertheless, in June 2012, they demonstrated that their kite
20、s could operate _46_ at an altitude of up to 700 meters.Meanwhile, in Italy, researchers are working on a(n) _47_ power generator that relies on kites when the generator called KiteGen, senses wind blowing, kites are _48_ from the end of poles with high-resistance cables to control their height and
21、angle. These cables are able to move the kites if the system senses coming object _49_ planes, helicopters or even individual birds. The kites themselves are light, tough and able to reach fairly high altitude. The loop (绕行) around in the wind, which sets the center of the generator in emotion _50_
22、electric current.KiteGen has the _51_ to be very cost-effective in the long run. After the original cost of designing and setting up the plant, little _52_ investment will be necessary, apart from standard maintenance. The plant also requires _53_ little space, which makes it ideal for cities and me
23、ans that multiple plants can be set up to provide even more _54_.Kite power has the potential to greatly _55_ on current wind power strategies. In the future, it may be an efficient cost efficient supplement to the other sources of energy use or even a replacement for some of them 41. A resolution B

27、inished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Many people experience problems with their spine(脊椎) as they age. The tissue that protects the joints in the spine
28、gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones, in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bones. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spineThis painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people a
29、re more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors. Extremely heavy people are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. Fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteopor
30、osis from developing in their spine.The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment(排列), Strength exercises with light weights or bodyweight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles aro
31、und the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of spine because many vitamins are necessary
32、 for bones and nerves. These include B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which helps keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D. which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitami
33、ns and acids can be obtained from food. Thus people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets 56 What does this article mainly explain?A. Various aspects of a medical condition.B. The actions of viruses that cause illnesses.C. Drugs often used to solve the physical issue.D. The loca
34、tion of organs in the human body. 57. How does the writer begin this article?A. By predicting improvement.B. By analyzing a series of data.C. By introducing minor injuries.D. By describing a gradual process 58. What can readers find in this article?A. A warning about working out too hard.B. A method
35、 for improving sleep quality.C. A slogan used to promote health classes.D. A big criticism often aimed at doctors. 59. What does the article imply about supplement?A. They are mainly for youngsters.B. They are commercial products.C. They are now being researched.D. They are seldom truly effective (B
36、)In late March of 2018.a tear in the earth about 15 meters wide and 20 meters deep suddenly appeared in Kenya, it cut across roads and even split houses in two. This crack appeared out of nowhere after heavy rains and an increase in seismic activity. Some scientists believe that it is further proof
37、that Africa is slowly splitting apart.Once a very long time ago, Africa and south America were one landmass before they separated. Similarly, one day in the very distant future, a large part of East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent. This will create a new landmarks and a new ocea
38、n. The breakup is the result of plate tectonics, the gradual motion of different parts of the Earth's crust.When plates of the Earth separate and tear away from each other. It is called rifting. The result is rift valley. Scientists don't understand the exact mechanism behind rifting. But th
39、e result is very easy to observe in theEast African Rift System(EARS), That's why studying this part of the world is so important.The East African Rift system begins in the north in Ethiopia, where three plates are moving away from each other. Two of them are continental plates, the African and
40、Arabian plates. They are tectonic plates that have a large landmass above water. The third is the Somali plate, considered a minor plate, which is steadily moving away from the other two. But don't plan on visiting the new ocean anytime soon. The plates are moving at a rate of about 6 millimeter
41、s a year. At the speed millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed.EARS is not all bad news for Kenya. A rift valley is composed of an area where there is increased volcanic activity and thinned planetary crust. This makes it easier to take advantage of the power of steam. For Kenya, th
42、is might be an answer to the country's electrical problems. The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy. But the geothermal(地热的) power plants going online in 2019 will allow them to produce clean energy with very little water. 60 What can be concluded f
43、rom the passage?A. A war will certainty breakout in Africa.B. A disaster will suddenly strike Africa.C. A geological structure will change in Africa.D. A new country will come into being in Africa 61 Which of the following plates might be surrounded by water according to the passageA. East Africa. B
44、. Somali plate. C. Arabian plate. D. Africa plate. 62. What problem may be solved in Kenya thanks to the cracking?A. Poverty. B. Economy. C.Drought. D. Energy. (C) Are you worried about money If so, I have some good news for you. Someone once said, “If all your problems can be solved with money, the
45、n you don't have any.” I get the point. Unless you are on the edge of losing everything and living in your car (which is a very sad thing that happens to people every day), your perceptions of your problems may not be serving you well.Let's take a look. Can you pay your living expenses and s
46、upport your family If so you are OK. Even if you are a family that just barely breaks even every month, you have to count that as a blessing, Most of us also have those terrible, surprising unexpected bills. But unless you youre your job or your mind, don't you always find a way to take care of
47、those expenses?PERTINENT(切中要害的) QUESTIONSTo see if you worry too much about finances, ask yourself a couple of questions Do you wake up worried about money Do you check your bank balance and look at upcoming bills more than once every few days or even multiple times a day If so, then you may have a
48、little financial insecurity going on. Let's look at getting it under control. If it's making you crazy, it can make your family a little crazy too. This type of anxiousness is passed on to others, which is important to remember whenever you have the urge to share your fears.TOO MUCH INFORMAT
49、IONTMI (too much information) happens because it seems that by releasing Pent-up(压抑的)feelings of anxiety you will feel better and hopefully more supported and that this can happen but not with your loved ones because they will take all your fair and magnify it. Talk instead with your financial advis
50、or, your bank manager or your therapist. Laying your financial fears at the feet of your family is not good for them or for you. Yes, be honest about any problems, but if you get emotional, so will those closest to youPOSITIVE ACTIONIt's hard to be this passionate about money, but honestly, it
51、39;s really the best way to get this issue solved. You have to look at it from a practical standpoint. Go over your debts, look closely at your assets and determine the best thing for you to do with your time right now.Maybe you need to use this time to get your books and other only your computer or
52、 use it to job hunt or to promote your business. Then again you may need to hire an accountant and go on some interviews. The point is simple: the only way to relieve yourself of the uncomfortable feeling of financial pressure is to take some kind of positive action. 63. Which of the following is tr
53、ue according to the passage?A. Financial problems are not vital ones in everyone's daily life.B. You'd better calm down when you have financial problems.C. You needn't worry about unexpected bills even if you're out of work.D. When you have financial fears, remember to share feelings
54、 with others. 64.

56、ce financial fears bravely 66. The best title of the passage is _.A. Perceptions of money and valueB. Passion, money and familyC. Keeping balance of psychologyD.

57、ch sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Other people experience false guilt because of high expectations for themselves.B.
