Sometimes there’s no t even anywhere to stay, and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good meal or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”“Denny, I am not a child,” his wife didn’t agree.“I can look after myself. Please take me with you the next time you go overseas. ”Denny didn’t say anything, but he thought about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa, he said to his wife,“You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I’ve go t to take photos of wild animals there. It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”His wife was very excited, and at first she had a very enjoyable time.Then Denny went to the forest to find some lions to photo. His wife went with him, but before long they became separated. She walked down one path while he walked down the other.Suddenly, Denny heard her crying. He ran back and saw her running towards him. A huge lion was chasing her. Quickly Denny took his camera out of the bag and pointed it at his wife and the lion. Then he shouted, “Slow down, woman! I can’t get you both in the picture!”24.Denny had photos of all the following EXCEPT .A.Natural disastersB. wild animalsC. travel magazinesD. interesting event25.

According to the passage, a famous photographer’s live must be .A. safe, cheerful and colorfulB. interesting, successful but dangerousC. enjoyable, exciting but regrettableD. pleasant, comfortable and meaningfulCThere are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions.Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay more attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.28.A.is just about learning the right wordsB.is about remembering more and more wordsC.doesn’t require one to learn expressionsD.requires one to understand important expressions29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.It doesn’t take long to build one’s vocabularyB.If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you don’t use it.C.To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.30.A.reading them loudly over and over againB.writing them down over and over againC.trying to use them while speaking and writingD.always looking them up in the dictionary31.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to have a good conversation in EnglishB.How to enrich your English vocabularyC.Why context is important in learning EnglishD.How to improve the quality of communicationDAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied circumstances. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they arelikely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligencedeveloping, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.32..Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.33. It is suggested in this passage that .A. close relations usually have similar intelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they arelikely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to havesimilar degrees of intelligence34. In Para. 1, the word "circumstances" means.A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing35.The best title for this article would be.A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence MeansC. We are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence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。

Kiwi can live a long time,between 25 and 50 years.A female carries a huge egg for its body size.The kiwi is about the same size as a chicken but its egg is actually six times as large as a chicken's egg. The reason for this is that the kiwi doesn’t have to fly so there aren't any limits on its weight.The female has to eat three times as much as usual to help the egg develop.Right before the egg is laid she can't eat anything because the egg presses against her stomach,leaving no room for food.All kiwi species are endangered.On average,twenty-seven die each week.Theyhave been affected most by deforestation and invasive mammals.Before humans came to New Zealand,the only mammals on the island were bats and seals.The kiwi never had to worry about predators before,but now since it cannot fly,and lays its eggs on the ground, it is pretty defenseless against invasive mammals such as rats and stoats.Stoats kill a lot of the chicks,while dogs kill a lot of adult birds,usually by accident,because they are quite delicate（易碎的)24.Which is kiwi's unique characteristic?A: They can't fly with no wings.B.They can live more than 50 years,C.They rule the air instead of the ground.D.They seldom or never come out in the daytime,25.Why does a female kiwi carry a huge egg?A.It eats three times as much as usual.B.I focuses too much on developing its egg.C.Body weight will grow without limit for a flightless bird.D.The egg presses against her stomach.26. Which kind of mammal docs no harm to kiwis?A.Bats.B.Rats,C.Stoats.D.Dogs.27. Which is a suitable tile for the passage?A.Endangered kiwi species.B.Kiwis-unique birdsC.Get close to the bird world.D.Why can’t kiwis fly?CAlmost all researches in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours.However,some of thembelieve that nightmares do have some real benefits.One 2017 study.for example,found that frequent nightmare sufferers considered themselves as more empathetic(共鸣的）They also showed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks,Some other researches have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious,but rather had a general sensitivity (敏感)to all emotional experiences.Sensitivity is the driving force behind Intense (强烈的) dreams.Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in bad dreams and nightmares,while heightened passion or excitement may result in more intense positive dream.And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares,or promoting (促进) social bonds and empathy(共鸣)after positive dreams.The effects go further still.This sensitivity overflows over into perceptions and thoughts:people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts.And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative advantage.For example,studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic expression. And people who often have nightmares also tend to have more positive dreams than the average person.The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity,people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative,positive and vivid as it can be distressing and frighte ning.What’s more,this imaginative richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep,but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams. Eve n after people wake up and shake off the nightmare,in other words,a mark of it stays behind,occupying them throughout the day.28.What do most sleep researchers think of nightmares?A.They have no advantages at all.B.They make people more empatheticC.They can contribute t o humans’ creativityD.They are a reflection of waking behavior.29.How can nightmare sufferers probably stop nightmares in theoryaccording to the text?A.Be more fearful to anxious to nightmaresB.Try to reduce sensitivity to threats or fear.C.Avoid excitement as much as possible.D.Promote social bonds and empathy.30.What does the underlined word “pe rception"in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Awareness.B.Content.C.ReliefD.Determination.31 What can be the best title for the text?A.The Solution of Nightmares.B.The Empathy ofNightmaresC.The Benefits of Nightmares.D.The Tendency ofNightmaresDLast month my mother moved into a nursing home.This came after yeas of witnessing the worsening of her cognitive abilities(认知能力)and changes in her personality,all thanks to frontotemporal dementia(FTD)(额颞叶痴呆）My mom is going to lose her ability to speak,have trouble forming complete thoughts and sentences,and eventually forget how to do things she loved.like cooking and reading.But despite all of her inabilities, when I walked in on her having dinner with the rest of the woman that make up the dementia floor of the nursing home,I didn't think she belonged.It wasn't until I spent three days there bonding with those women that I realized what scared me the most--she did fit in.If you were an outsider looking at these women,you'd pity them.You'd think it was cruel that our bodies could turn on us in this way.You’d think it was sad that their families have put the burden of taking care of them on someone else.You'd want to intervene.You'd want to give the lady eating mashed potatoes with her hands a spoon,you'd want to peel the orange for the lady who's eating it like an apple,you'd want to scold the lady who forgets to flush (冲刷）the toilet and wash her hands after using the bathroom.I did all those things to my mother.But when I see her in an environment that lets her be herself. it somehow seems okay.Learn to love them unconditionally.It's easier said than done,but if she loved me after making her annoyed for making me come home by 10 p.m.on Fridays.I can love her even if she forgets my name.32.What frightened the author most?A Her mother suffered from FTD.B.Her mother fit in with the nursing home.C.she lived with those women at the nursing home.D.She had to look after her mother33.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"intervene"?A.Interrupt.B.Amaze.C.Permit.D.Explore.34.What was the final decision of the author?A.She let her mother alone.B.She sent her mother to hospital.C.She let her mother stay at the nursing home.D.

He had photos of many disasters .If something interesting happened, Denny went to photograph it.He was a married man and his wife often asked him to take her with him , but he always refused. “I’ll travel for my work, not for fun, you won’t enjoy yourself, and I won’t have time to look after you. Sometimes there’s no t even anywhere to stay, and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good meal or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”“Denny, I am not a child,” his wife didn’t agree.“I can look after myself.

It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”His wife was very excited, and at first she had a very enjoyable time.Then Denny went to the forest to find some lions to photo.

According to the passage, a famous photographer’s live must be .A. safe, cheerful and colorfulB. interesting, successful but dangerousC. enjoyable, exciting but regrettableD. pleasant, comfortable and meaningfulCThere are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions.Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay more attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.28.A.is just about learning the right wordsB.is about remembering more and more wordsC.doesn’t require one to learn expressionsD.requires one to understand important expressions29.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.It doesn’t take long to build one’s vocabularyB.If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you don’t use it.C.To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.30.A.reading them loudly over and over againB.writing them down over and over againC.trying to use them while speaking and writingD.always looking them up in the dictionary31.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to have a good conversation in EnglishB.How to enrich your English vocabularyC.Why context is important in learning EnglishD.How to improve the quality of communicationDAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied circumstances. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they arelikely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地)from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completelydifferent. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they willvery likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to afactory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.32..Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.33. It is suggested in this passage that .A. close relations usually have similar intelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they arelikely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to havesimilar degrees of intelligence34. In Para. 1, the word "circumstances" means.A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing35.The best title for this article would be.A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence MeansC. We are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence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。
