Before I first 1 to China in 2017, I had only limited experience using food delivery or takeout apps.

But when I came to Beijing and found out 2 I could order McDonald’s from my phone and have burgers and fries delivered straight to my door without even 3 to leave my apartment, I was immediately hooked（上了瘾的，被迷住的）. I ended up ordering McDonald’s through Meituan almost every night 4
the next month or so（大约）and only stopped when I realized I was getting fat.

Even so, food delivery apps 5 Meituan and Eleme have proven to be surprisingly useful and convenient. They have become 6 friend or companion for me while 7 in Beijing. Whether I don’t feel like 8 dinner and want to order takeout, or I need to get ingredients, medicine or even simple office supplies, these apps have me covered!
Still, my love for these apps 9 recently led to an issue（争论的问题）I’d overlooked（忽略）—the

increase in packaging waste. Even after ordering waimai for a few nights in a row, it’s easy 10 your trash can（垃圾筒）quickly filled up with plastic bags, cardboard boxes and disposable（一次性的）chopsticks. Although you can choose not to have eating utensils（餐具）provided on the app, seeing my food wrapped like a Russian nesting doll（套娃）in several layered boxes 11 only serve to be immediately thrown away raises some

concerns.

Although the waimai packaging can 12 , I believe 13 can still be done—downsize the packaging, make 14 more efficient（高效的）and biodegradable（可生物降解的）（because some of this material will be improperly sorted for trash collection）, and so on.
I hope that, with the convenience and joy that waimai apps can bring, we can also rest easy（高枕无忧）

knowing that we reduce the waste we produce from our modern lifestyles 15 .

三、阅读（共两节，满分 45 分）
第一节阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中选出最佳选项。
（A）

Enjoying the beauty of the sky at night is a rare thing for people in cities since light pollution ruins everything.

However, photos taken by astrophotographers（天文摄影师）give people opportunities to still admire the stars. Being a full-time astrophotographer, Zhang Jingyi, 27, grew up being an astronomy enthusiast（爱好者）.
When asked why she chose this career, Zhang said, “We all dream of what it is like to live on planets so far from us. Isn’t it cool?” Due to the fast development of China’s space industry, Zhang started to shoot rocket launching

moments in recent years. “I basically followed the construction of the Tiangong space station with my camera,” she said, adding that every launch has given her a strong sense of achievement.
Zhang believes that her photos are artworks that money cannot buy. “Some photographers may sell their works—some photos even reach six digits（六位数）,” Zhang said. “For me, I would be satisfied if people simply like my work.” As an influencer on Sina Weibo with more than 2.5 million followers, Zhang also shares videos that she’s filmed, giving her audience a more authentic（真实的）impression of her work.
Zhang said that an astrophotographer needs to be devoted to their career. For example, when taking photos of

the stars, they have to film them on plateaus（高原）which are freezing at night. “These hardships are nothing if you truly love what you do,” Zhang said. Gaining experience is also important. “There isn’t a detailed guidebook for creating art,” Zhang said. “You have to learn from your own works. Gradually, you can add personal thoughts into the filming process and witness your work improving.”
26. What inspired Zhang to become an astrophotographer?

A. Her curiosity about space. B. A beautiful photo she saw on Weibo.

C. Fewer chances for citizens to admire the stars. D. The development of China’s space industry.

27. What did Zhang begin to shoot in recent years?

A. People. B. Scenery. C. Wildlife. D. Rocket launching.

28. What does Zhang value about her photos?

A How much they can sell for. B. The media’s comments on them.

C. The public’s recognition of them. D. The social effect they have.

29. What does Zhang think is necessary for a successful astrophotographer?

A. Expensive equipment. B. A detailed guidebook.

C. Devotion and learning ability. D. A formal education in photography.
（B）
This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.
It’s not that his peers disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook

were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.
The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.

In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.
30. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .

A. failed B. learned C. achieved D. misunderstood

31. What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?

A. He was hated by his peers. B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school.

C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios. D. He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios.

32. In the last two paragraphs, we are advised .

A. to open up our eyes B. to believe we can make some difference

C. to learn more skills for development D. to ask for more appreciation and love

33. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Nobody Is a Nobody. B. A Hard-working Boy Is Successful.

C. We Should Turn Failure into Success. D. One Cannot Succeed without Talents.
（C）
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen.

Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel, the introduction of the steam engine, the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their

pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus（纸莎草纸）was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let’s remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it , enjoy it.
34. What is the writer trying to do in this passage?

A. Describe what a pen looks like. B. Introduce the history of the pen.

C. Advise people to prepare a new pen. D. Show the importance of the pen.

36. The lawyers started to write the law of the country .

A. before their thoughts were changed B. when papyrus was first used

C. as soon as they recorded their names D. after they took an important exam

（D）

NEW POST

I can’t control my big mouth and I cannot keep secrets that my friends tell me. At school, I often talk loudly a lot in class. I have made myself look bad. I want to change this. What should I do?
REPLIES

It’s OK. Some people just naturally love to talk. However, when your talking starts to make other people unhappy, it’s time to take a look at your habits. First of all, when you tell your friends’ secrets to others, this makes it hard for your friends to trust you.
Good friends are trustworthy and never tell secrets to other people.

Think about how you would feel if one of your friends revealed your secret. If you always remember this, you won’t give away any secrets.
As for talking loudly in class, if you do it too much, your teacher will

probably punish you. That should remind you to stop doing it so much.

I had two best friends named Jim and Peter. They had a fight over a basketball match, so Jim came to me and complained about how Peter didn’t pass the ball to him. Days later, they got over it. But one day, when we were on our way home from school, I made a slip of the tongue and mentioned this to Peter. His smile disappeared and he walked away. Jim also was angry with me because he thought I betrayed (背叛) him.
What’s worse, some other students also heard the gossip and started to

ignore me. It was really painful. There was nothing I could do but sincerely apologize to them. I decided to keep a low profile (行事低调) and try not to give away any more secrets.
Anyone can make a slip of the tongue. But we need to think carefully

before we act. It can hurt people and cause us to lose friends.

38. What is Steven’s problem?

A. He is made fun of for his bad looks. B. He is worried about his bad habits.

A. put himself in others’ shoes B. tell his secrets to his friends

C. think about the punishment D. talk less loudly in the classroom

40. Why did Zhao Qijun talk about his own experience?

A. To guide every reader to believe his story.

B. To tell Steven how he betrayed his friend Jim.

C. To make Steven accept his advice more easily.

D To explain why he decided to keep a low profile.
