It stuck out a few inches above the ground and was 11 inches in width-slightly wider than a basketball-with a hatch(盖子) that had been moved unnoticed. The two-year-old boy had slipped in and was drowning in four feet of waste water inside the eight-feet-deep tank.Madison surveyed the situation. She was the only one who could fit through the small hole. Without hesitation, she told the adults, “Lower me in. Inside, the tank was dark, and the air was smelly. In the process, she jammed her left wrist against a hidden pole, injuring the muscles in her wrist so severely that the hand was left useless.Rather than tending to her injury, Madison tried to feel the underwater boy. Minutes went by before she saw the outline of his foot. Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly “Pull me up!” she shouted. Then, ten minutes after Madison had entered the tank, she and the boy were lifted out.But the boy wasn’t out of trouble. He had lacked Oxygen l ong enough that he wasn’t breathing. He was placed on his side, and an adult hit him hard on the back. It was only when Madison heard him cry that she knew he was all right. It took Madison longer to recover than the boy, who was taken to hospital and left hospital that same night.

Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF(体外受精) and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a ￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as “a milestone in modern medicine”.With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester—born physiologist developed IVF—leading to thebirth of the world’s first test tube baby. Dr. Steptoe d ied 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility(生育) treatment and given hope to millions of couples.It was a scientific breakthrough that changed the lives of millions of couples. They said, “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes humans unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind, including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”Professor Edwards, who has 5 daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said, “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridgeshire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scient ists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”.Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive(生殖的) sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue”. He said, “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted—this is the cherry on the cake for him.”Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”.32. What is Robert Edwards' contribution to science?A. Challenging a disease which stops couples having a baby.B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.D. Helping couples with infertility to have test tube babies.33.

The last time I was there he introduced me a story like this: There was a young man who was the son of a horse trainer, who would go from stable(马厩) to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. So the boy’s school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. He also drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked why he received an F. The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You have noresources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. There’s no way you could ever do it... If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”The boy went home and thought about it long and haul. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.” Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”Monty then turned to me and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4, 000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately, you had enough ambition not to give up on yours.”24. How did the father deal with his son’s problem?A. He did not pay attention to it.B. He punished his son for the large red F.C. He encouraged his son to make his own decision.D. He scolded his son for the ridiculous plan.25. What can we infer from the teacher’s remarks in the last paragraph?A. Skill comes by exercise.B. Everybody’s good at something.C. It’s great to have dreams.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.26. Why was Monty’s schooling continually interrupted?A. Because he didn’t like his teacher.B. Because he had to do much housework.C. Because he refused to go to school sometimes.D. Because his father always changed his working place.27. What’s the best title for the text?A. A boy having no changesB. A boy following his heartC. A boy holding on to his dreamD. A boy owning a horse ranchCDid you hear what happened at yesterday’s meeting? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible, you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests it’s because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member’s secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip (“The information received made me think I learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value (“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns (“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,” they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one’s own competence. On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.”In addition, the results showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns, the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.” Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others.”28. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lessons from others’ mistakes.29. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?A. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.C. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.30. What’s the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?A. The identities of the participants.B. The number of the participants studied.C. The time during which the experiment lasted.D. The role-play technique used in experiment.31. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?A. A fear killer.B. A protector.C. A motivator.D. A subject provider.DFacial recognition technology is already widely used by governments and some advertising companies. The technology uses machine learning tools to search for faces in an attempt to identify people.In a recent study scientists announced they had developed machine learning tools to track the faces of individual wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Dan Schofield said that the system was developed to improve the quality of information collected about chimpanzees in the wild over a long period of time.“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting snapshots of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much,” Schofield said.The researchers wanted to get a more complete understanding of the lives of the chimpanzees by studying them over several generations. But doing this would have required searching through hundreds of hours of video recordings of chimpanzees in the wild.The researchers recorded the activities of a group of chimpanzees that lived in the West African nation of Guinea. A facial recognition computer model was trained using more than 10 million images of the animals. The model was then used to search, recognize and track individual chimpanzees. The system was able to identify individual chimpanzees correctly about 92 percent of the time. It successfully identified the animals’ sex 96 percent of the time.The study included an experiment with humans to see how they could perform against the machine learning system in making identifications. The human persons were able to correctly identify individual chimpanzees about 42 percent of the time. The machine learning tool was much faster at completing the experiment. Human experts took about 55 minutes, while the computer took only seconds.The researchers say they are permitting other scientists to use the system for similar projects. They hope the method will be used with other species to record animal behavior and monitor different animal populations in the environment.32. What can we infer from Schofield’s words?A. Researching chimpanzees needs more information.B. Chimpanzees can live as long as humans.C. Chimpanzees like to get snapshots too.D. Short-term field research provides more information.33. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?A. Recording the chimpanzees in the wild.B. Studying chimpanzees over several years.C. Understanding the lives of the chimpanzees completely.D. Getting snapshots of chimpanzees’ behavior.34. What did the experiment with humans prove in the study?A. Humans make more accurate identifications.B. The machine learning system is more effective.C. Humans can’t identify the animals’ sex correctly.D. Machine learning tools take a little more time in identification.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Facial recognition for animals is becoming popularB. Facial recognition is helping animals live in the wildC. Facial recognition plays a role in raising animalsD. Facial recognition is used to identify and follow animals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。

This was after a year of intense study, including at least two hours a day with self-instruction software and weekend classes, followed by two weeks of an immersion program (沉浸式教学）at one of the top language schools in France.My failure was in fact quite unremarkable. Despite advertising claims, (21) (learn) aforeign language is a challenging task for any adult. In the end, though, (22) turns out that spending a year .‘not learning” French may have been the (23) (good) thing I could have done for my 57-year-old brain.In the last few years, I was unable to hold a list of four grocery items in my mind. So to reassure(24) that nothing was wrong, I took a cognitive (认知的）assessment just beforetackling French.The results were anything (25) reassuring：I scored below average for my age group in nearly all of the categories, especially on the composite memory (综合记忆）test and the visual memory test.After a year of struggling with the language, I retook the cognitive assessment, and the results shocked me. My scores had skyrocketed, (26) (place) me above average in 7 of 10 categories,and average in the other three. Studying a language had been likedrinking from a mental fountain of youth.What might explain such an improvement? Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kongand Northwestern University noted that the cognitive tasks (27) (involve) in language study—like working memory, inductive reasoning (归纳推理），sound discrimination (识别) and task switching—map closely to (与……紧密相关）the areas of the brain that are most associated with declines due to aging.If my experience is any indication, you might be better off studying a language. Not only is that a far more useful and enjoyable activity (28) an abstract brain game, but as a reward for your efforts, you can treat yourself (29) a trip abroad That's (30) I plan to spend the next year “not learning” Italian. Ciao!Section B (10%)Directions： Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one .word more than you need.A. intellectuallyB. gratefulC. individualsD. rewardingE. participantsF. awarenessG. amazingH. physically L local J. civilization K. reminderLast week, Special Olympic organizers made sure that all details were included to ensure that the athletes were properly welcomed and taken care of. Never before in the 39-year history of the Special Olympics has there been such a(n) (31) and wonderful opening ceremony. And everywhere in this city, billboards with the smiling faces of the (32) disabled promoted the Games.Throughout Shanghai, messages of “ （33) _” ，“humanism,” and “love” were seen everywhere. These statements of hope and achievements were supporting more than 7，500 athletes that participated in this year's events—with the most representation from China, over 1,200 (34) _! Although these hopeful words were positive and encouraging, many mentally challenged (35) _ were not getting the rare they required.In many countries, disabled people are neglected and not properly cared for. However, events such as the Special Olympics are raising the (36) of mistreatment and lack of care. In the United States, for example, special training centers and homes exist that help the mentally challenged find jobs in (37 ) communities. Last year, I volunteered a few hours each week at a facility that cared for mentally disabled people. It was a very (38) experience knowing that my time was making a difference in someone’s life. Although I only spent a short time there, the people were so (39) for the attention and most of all, to be included.The Special Olympics are a(n) (40) to society that we must take care of those who are less fortunate than ourselves.III.ReadingComprehension SectionA (15%)Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four -words or phrases marked A , B.C and D.

(C)You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time.Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else's. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with arc specific to you；learning these lessons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face，while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn； whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.The challenge here, therefore，is to align (保持一致）yourself with your own unique path bylearning individual lessons. But, remember，don’t compare your path to thepeople around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity— the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not，in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone's circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will7 / 11be required to move out the comparing phrase of “it's not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.63. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?A. Having the same opinions as others.B. Taking the distinct path from others. C . Learning the lessons presented to you. D. Doing the different things from others.64. From the passage we can conclude.A. everyone has his own track tofollowB. the same thing usually happens to the peersC. a painful divorce must lie in financial problemsD. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage65. Which of the following is TRUE?A. All things are equal and justice will always prevail.B. You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.C. One has to fix his mind on the unfairness of circumstances.D. The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in thelife school.66. Life is called a full-time school, because .A. it is full of all lessons to learnB. you have plenty of time to learn lessonsC . you meet with specific lessons every dayD. there are so manysubjects for you to choose Section C (8%) Directions ： Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that thereare two more sentences than you need.Researchers at a university in Hungary say there is truth to what many dog owners always believed.

He thought that the result is quite common.seven minutes. During that time，they listened through headphones to their trainers5 voices. Dog owners may think the news is not surprising. But scientists are impressed.Brian Hare is a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University.(67) The brain imaging showed clogs processed words using the left side of their brains，just as humans do. They use the right side of their brains to understand tone and pitch. (68) Meaningful words said in a neutral way did not have the same effect as the same words said in an encouraging way.Attila Andies was the lead researcher on the project. “Dog brains care about both what we sayand how we say it,” he said. (69)It’s because dogs have lived w ith people for a long time. Andies said he thinks other animals probably can understandhuman language like dogs do. But those animals are not very interested in whathumans have to say.People reacted to the story on Facebook and Twitter. They said they alwaysknew their pets could understand them. (70) One reader from Virginia said shethought her dog could probably read her mind, too. Someone in California jokedthat he always knew his dog ignored him.

The last time I was there he introduced me a story like this: There was a young man who was the son of a horse trainer, who would go from stable(马厩) to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. So t he boy’s school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. He also drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked why he received an F. The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. There’s n o way you could ever do it... If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”The boy went home and thought about it long and haul. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to ma ke up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.” Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”Monty then turned to me and s aid, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4, 000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately, you had enough ambition not to give up on yours.”24. How did the father deal with his son’s problem?A. He did not pay attention to it.B. He punished his son for the large red F.C. He encouraged his son to make his own decision.D. He scolded his son for the ridiculous plan.25. What can we infer from the teacher’s remarks in the last paragraph?A. Skill comes by exercise.B. Everybody’s good at something.C. It’s great to have dreams.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.26. Why was Monty’s schooling continually interrupted?A. Because he didn’t like his teacher.B. Because he had to do much housework.C. Because he refused to go to school sometimes.D. Because his father always changed his working place. 27. What’s the best title for the text?A. A boy having no changesB. A boy following his heartC. A boy holding on to his dreamD. A boy owning a horse ranchCDid you hear what happened at yesterday’s meeting? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresi stible, you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests it’s because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member’s secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improve ment value of the gossip (“The information received made me think I learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value (“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip rais ed personal concerns (“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,” they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one’s own competence. On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value,because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.”In addition, the results showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns, the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.” Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others.”28. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lesso ns from others’ mistakes.29. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?A. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.C. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.30. What’s the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?A. The identities of the participants.B. The number of the participants studied.C. The time during which the experiment lasted.D. The role-play technique used in experiment.31. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?A. A fear killer.B. A protector.C. A motivator.D. A subject provider.DFacial recognition technology is already widely used by governments and some advertising companies. The technology uses machine learning tools to search for faces in an attempt to identify people.In a recent study scientists announced they had developed machine learning tools to track the faces of individual wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩). Dan Schofield said that the system was developed to improve the quality of information collected about chimpanzees in the wild over a long period of time.“For sp ecies like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting snapshots of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much,” Schofield said.The researchers wanted to get a more complete understanding of the lives of the chimpanzees by studying them over several generations. But doing this would have required searching through hundreds of hours of video recordings of chimpanzees in the wild.The researchers recorded the activities of a group of chimpanzees that lived in the West African nation of Guinea. A facial recognition computer model was trained using more than 10 million images of the animals. The model was then used to search, recognize and track individual chimpanzees. The system was able to identify individual chimpanzees correctly about 92 percent of the time. It successfully identified the animals’ sex 96 percent of the time.The study included an experiment with humans to see how they could perform against the machine learning system in making identifications. The human persons were able to correctly identify individual chimpanzees about 42 percent of the time. The machine learning tool was much faster at completing the experiment. Human experts took about 55 minutes, while the computer took only seconds.The researchers say they are permitting other scientists to use the system for similar projects. They hope the method will be used with other species to record animal behavior and monitor different animal populations in the environment.32. What ca n we infer from Schofield’s words?A. Researching chimpanzees needs more information.B. Chimpanzees can live as long as humans.C. Chimpanzees like to get snapshots too.D. Short-term field research provides more information.33. What does the underlined word “this” refer to?A. Recording the chimpanzees in the wild.B. Studying chimpanzees over several years.C. Understanding the lives of the chimpanzees completely.D. Getting snapshots of chimpanzees’ behavior.34. What did the experiment with humans prove in the study?A. Humans make more accurate identifications.B. The machine learning system is more effective.C. Humans can’t identify the animals’ sex correctly.D. Machine learning tools take a little more time in identification.35. What is the best title for the text?A.

Classroom discussions were virtually impossible tofollow because I couldn’t hear what was being said around the room. In a vain effort to keep up with them, I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually, I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes. I began to pretend that I knew what was going on. Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed, I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.Luckily then fate threw me light.On one sunny afternoon, my teacher, Mrs. Jordan, asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand. I couldn’t believe it—despite my fears, I felt incredibly confident because—for once—I was sure I had the right answer. But, when she called on me, I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. I didn’t want to blow it. I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.Her explosive response shocked all of us. She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor, pointing directly at me. With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THA T’S RIGHT, STEPHEN!”For the first time in my young life, I felt like an instant star. My heart burst with pride. My confidence soared. It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN! It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome. From that day, my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.24. What does the underlined word “muddle-headed” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Absent-minded.B. Relaxed.C. Confused.D. Delighted.25. Why was the author in fear of answering Mrs. Jordan’s question?A. He lacked confidence and bravery.B. He wasn’t sure of the right answer.C. He would be laughed at by his classmates.D. He was afraid that he would disappoint her.26. What can be inferred about Mrs. Jordan?A. She was born with creativity.B. She changed the author’s life.C. She was strict with her students.D. She was a woman of hot temper.27. What could be the best title for the text?A. Three Simple WordsB. A Wonderful TeacherC. My Inspiring StoriesD. Disabled But Strong-willedCThe spiders have long, scary legs. Some spiders even bite. But Spider-Man is another story. He might help people see spiders less negatively, a new study finds.After Menachem Ben-Ezra, a proud fan of the Marvel(漫威漫画公司) films and also a psychologist, saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp(黄蜂), he walked out with a sudden scientific idea that he should measure people before they went into the theater, and afterwards to see if the fear of ants would be reduced or changed.Ben-Ezra and his colleagues asked 424 people questions, about one-quarter of them about spiders, such as “Did they find them scary?” “Did seeing one make their hearts race and palms sweat?” A second group received similar questions, this time about ants. The last two groups got the same questions about other insects. Afterward, everyone watched videos. Group one got a Spider-Man movie. Group two saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. Groups three and four watched unrelated video—wheat waving peacefully in the breeze.After viewing the movie, Ben-Ezra again asked the participants how they felt about spiders, ants or insects in general—and found the ant and spider exposures seemed to make people insensitive and less afraid. Between 3.5 and 6.1 percent of people experience such a phobia(恐惧症) of spiders. Phobias can stop people from traveling, working and enjoying their lives.Ben-Ezra hopes that their movie research might help people with phobias. But they caution that people with phobias shouldn’t just run out and watch movies and expect their fears to go away. “What we did is only the first step in a very long road.” Ben-Ezra says. “We didn’t say you’ll be cured. We don’t have evidence for that.” But eventually, presenting people’s fears in a positive context—such as a superhero movie—might help people surmount their fear or disgust. After all, if spiders produce Spicier-Man, maybe they’re not so bad.28. How did Ben-Ezra conduct the study?A. By doing lab experiments.B. By asking questions.C. By analyzing former data.D. By observation.29. What does the underlined word “surmount” in the last paragraph mean?A. Delete.B. Regain.C. Discover.D. Overcome.30. What did Ben-Ezra advise people to do with phobias?A. They should not try to face their phobias.B. They should travel, work and enjoy their lives.C. They should adopt a positive attitude to their fear.D. They must keep away from the insects they fear.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Movies about the Insect FearB. The Positive Energy of SuperheroesC. The Cartoon Characters Made by MarvelD. Fighting Spider Fear with Spider-ManDSmoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act , was initiated(启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019.The law aims at curbing smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health residing under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence”. The new law came into force on August 20.According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke.An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly(不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are a greater risk of being affected by cancer.Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding permissible levels.Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers.Once convicted, the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person’s family.In February in 2019, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.32. What is the fact about the new law in Thailand?A. It makes it clear that smoking at home is a crime.B. It’s a law on protecting the health of non-smokers.C. It was drafted and adopted by the royal family.D. It classifies smoking as a form of domestic violence.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “curbing” in Paragraph 3?A. Treating.B. Changing.C. Improving.D. Controlling.34. What is NOT the evil consequence of smoking at home?A. It may increase the risk of cancer in passive smokers.B. It will probably cause physical or emotional violence.C. It will make the smokers become more aggressive.D. It may lead to disharmony in family relations.35. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand.B. Smokers are less likely to develop cancer than non-smokers.C. People who smoke at home in Thailand will be sent to prison.D. Thailand is committed to creating a smoke-free environment.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。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力本次训练无听力第二部分阅读理解(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。

AUNIQUE AND WEIRD NEW YEAR EVE TRADITIONSGermanyIn some parts of Germany, they do bleigiessen, or lead(铅) pouring. Pour a dollop(团) of molten lead in cold water and whatever shape forms may be telling about the year to come. A heart shape, naturally, means love will come your way. A crown predicts wealth and fortune. A star indicates happiness. But if you see a cross in the lead? You’re as good as dead!Latin AmericaIf you’re in Latin America, make sure you have some colorful underpants to ring in the new year. End—of—the—year partiers put on colorful underwear to ensure certain types of outcomes for the following year. Red for love and yellow for success.Naples, ItalyNeapolitans like throwing things out of windows, at least on New Year’s Eve. Furniture, kitchen machines, grandma. Well, maybe not the last one. Let’s hope not, anyway. This tradition is meant to symbolize an out—with—the—old gesture and getting a brand new beginning for the new year. These days people are a bit more mindful about what they toss down to the street below.SpainIn 1909, winegrowers in the Alicante region of Spain had a brilliant idea: start and promote an annual tradition that would involve people having to buy and eat more grapes. One must eat 12 grapes on New Year’s Eve to encourage prosperity for the coming year. Now, it’s a popular custom in Iberia. But the problem is that one has to eat a grape for each bell strike at midnight.21. What does a cross shape mean?A. Love.B. Wealth.C. Happiness.D. Misfortune.22. What’s new about Neapolitans’ tradition?A. They hate using furniture.B. They throw their grandma out of windows.C. They are more careful about what to throw.D. They like making gestures in front of the window.23. Which country has the tradition of eating grapes?A. Germany.B. Brazil.C. Italy.D. Spain.BRemember Vitainwater’s “free of rolling screen for a year” challenge that dared people to be free from smart phones for a whole year will win $100,000? Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming grand prize.Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge. Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smart phones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survive for an entire year without a handheld smart phone was Elana Mugdan, a 29-year-old fiction writer from Queens, New York. Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye-opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smart phone. Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn’t want to go back to days when she abused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed with social media.But not having access to her smart phone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before. “Many people did me a favor. However, once, I almost got stranded(滞留) in the SeaTac airport because the phone number I’d written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me,” the young writer said.Another time, her car’s “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night. She couldn’t use her phone’s GPS location feature, or even check what the light meant on Google or find a nearby car repair shop. Still, she learned to overcome these situations. And now she claims the lasteight months of phone-free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she’ll keep it for another four months.24. What’s the challenge “free of rolling screen for a year”?A. People free from smart phones can live a richer life.B. People living a telephone-free life can be awarded every year.C. People living without computers for a year will win grand prize.D. People spending a year free from smart phones will get a reward.25. Which phrase can replace the underlined part “obsessed with” in paragraph 2?A. satisfied withB. accustomed toC. addicted toD. popular with26. What does Elana Mugdan mainly want to express in paragraph 3?A. It’s fantastic to have someone to help her all the way.B. It’s unimaginable to lose her phone number on the way.C. It’s unnecessary to refer to information with a smart phone.D. It’s difficult to get out of the trouble without a smart phone.27. What can we learn about Elana Mudgan?A. She couldn’t live without a smart phone.B. She finds no one can help her in the adventure.C. She has not won the grand $ 100,000 prize yet.D. She used to use her smart phone to write fiction.CIf you’re one of the millions of those who use escalators each year, you are probably deeply familiar with the vertical grooves(竖凹槽) that cover each stair. Few of us have stopped to consider why they exist, though. In fact, it’s one of the everyday things we take for granted.But it is a little complicating when you think about it. Sure, thedeep, grey lines make an escalator’s metal stairs more appealing to theeye. But regular stairs don’t have grooves like these; why do escalatorsneed them? Is it because of the movement?It turns out those grooves serve a more functional purpose. And,yes, it does have to do with the movement, as well as with generalcleanliness! Anyone who has ridden an escalator knows that the steps everlastingly circulate from the top to the bottom. You’ve surely noticed the ridged yellow lip at the top of the escalator. But here’s what you may not have noticed: As an escalator’s steps flatten, this ridge—also called the comb plate—sweeps away any trash or litter that might have fallen on the stairs. Those grooves lock the step and comb plate together, which makes it harder for any dangerous materials to slide underneath the lip. This prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in that gap, potentially causing the escalator to stop, or worse, break down completely.That’s not the only reason why the grooves were created, though. They are also a good place for water to pool together, protecting you from a bad fall on the slick surface.So the next time you step on an escalator, take a moment to appreciate those metal grooves. They exist to make sure you get to your office meeting on time.28. What are the first two paragraphs trying to say?A. Millions of people use escalators every year.B. Few people think much about the grooves.C. Escalators are complicated machines.D. Grooves make the stairs look better.29. The ridge is mainly designed to____A. clean off dangerous objects.B. keep the stairs in movement.C. flatten the steps.D. lock the steps.30. What does the underlined word “slick” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Smooth.B. Sticky.C. Steep.D. Slippery.31. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The importance of escalators.B. The reasons for grooves on stairs.C. The look of grooves in escalators.D. The safe ways of riding escalators.DFriendship is an important part of human life. Friends can share our joys and our hardships. We aren’t alone. Many different animals also make friends.Recently, a British research team finished an eight-year study of Indo-Pacific dolphins off the coast ofWestern Australia. These dolphins can use different tools to search for food. The researchers found that these dolphins are more willing to hang out with partners that like the same tool. Other factors, like family closeness or sex, have no impact on this relationship.“It suggests that dolphins form social bonds(纽带) based on shared interests,” UK biologist Simon Allen told Science Daily. “Using different tools is time-consuming(耗时间的)” for dolphins to cooperate.Apart from dolphins, elephants, horses and bats are also known to form friendships. Are friendships only limited to the same species?Of course not, The Atlantic reported. In 2015, a goat Timur was originally left in the tiger Amur’s enclosure(围场) as a meal. But instead of eating Timur, Amur likes to play with it and gets jealous when others are close to his friend.The Atlantic said it’s not unusual among captive(圈禁的) animals. That’s because in captivity, animals don’t need to spend much time and energy marking their territory(领地) or looking for mates the way they would in the wild. They are actually more likely to feel bored. “In this particular situation, the animal’s motivation to engage(参与) socially and playfully may be higher than eating.”More interestingly, animals not only make friends but also try to keep lasting friendships.Take bats for example. In 2011, scientists found bats prefer to hang out with a few certain friends, keeping loose ties to the rest of their group.Humans aren’t so different. “We do not work, play and live together with the same friends all the time,” Swiss zoologist Gerald Kerth explained. “But nevertheless, we are able to maintain long-term relationships ... despite our often highly dynamic(动态的) social lives.”32. What did the recent British research find about dolphins?A. They form friendships based on family closeness.B. They are likely to make friends based on interests.C. They are better at building friendships than other animals.D. They form a group to hunt food together.33. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 6?A. To show how different species get along with each other.B. To prove captive animals are friendlier than others.C. To explain why captive animals can form friendships.D. To compare the difference between a tiger and a goat’s friendship.34. What can we infer from Gerald Kerth’s words?A. Animals like to hang out with different friends.B. Animals might feel bored with friends of the same species.C. Humans are better at keeping long-term bonds than animals.D. Humans and animals make and maintain friendships in similar ways.35. What’s the text mainly about?A. How to build strong ties with your friends.B. How animals form and keep friendship.C. The importance of friendship for animals.D. The different ways humans and animals socialize.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。

AYou can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Traveling just like reading, is a refreshing journey from the busy world. Books, brain food, can keep you company on your travel.On the Road, 1957, by Jack KerouacThe book is a globally popular spiritual guide book about youth.

Whose book could be the most suitable for your trip to Germany?A. Jack Kerouac’s.B. Sanmao’s.C. Annbaby’s.D. Milan Kundera’s.23. What can we learn from the text?A. Lotus is a religious book exploring Tibetan Buddhist culture.B. On the road advises a classic route for driving across the US.C. The stories of Sahara records its authors’ own life in the desert.BWhen I was a boy, our extended immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt’s tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come in to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. I finally fell my face first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, I’m it! You’d better run! Iran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and returned me to joy. It didn’t matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time that we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time that we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.24. When the adults were chatting, the kids would __________.A. play video gamesB. sit in the front yardC. learn to cook dinnerD. play traditional games25. The author was able to catch Susan because ________.A. the others ran too fastB. the author was good at runningC. Susan gave her a chanceD. Susan wanted to chase others26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author is grateful for what Susan did to her.B. The author can’t meet Susan any more.C. The author urges others to love their family.D. The author believes the world will become a big family.27. What could be the best title of the passage?A. A memory of my childhood.B. Sharing of goodness unites us.C. Kindness brightens our life.D. A good deed is invaluable.CPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your go al and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People’s acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much more motivated.DCompared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal(潮汐的) power is a loser in the clean-energy competition. But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost between ￡216 and ￡368($306-521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, compared with ￡58-75 for seagoing wind turbines(轮机) and ￡55-76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span(横跨) the river mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills(水磨).But there would be nothing old-fashioned about Mr Rainey’s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, theycould supply power at an average rate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.32. What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?A. The tidal range there is about 15 meters.B. It has the largest tidal range in the world.C. The tidal power station has been built there.D. Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.33. What was people’s initial attitude towards tidal power?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Controversial.D. Doubtful.34. What are the locks used for?A. Support.B. Transportation.C. Securing wheels.D. Producing electricity.35. What’s the best tittle for the text?A. Rainey invented turbines.B. Rainey’s tidal power station.C. Tidal power in the River Seven.D. An old idea might be made practical.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。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力本次训练无听力第二部分阅读理解(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。

AUNIQUE AND WEIRD NEW YEAR EVE TRADITIONSGermanyIn some parts of Germany, they do bleigiessen, or lead(铅) pouring. Pour a dollop(团) of molten lead in cold water and whatever shape forms may be telling about the year to come. A heart shape, naturally, means love will come your way. A crown predicts wealth and fortune. A star indicates happiness. But if you see a cross in the lead? You’re as good as dead!Latin AmericaIf you’re in Latin America, make sure you have some colorful underpants to ring in the new year. End—of—the—year partiers put on colorful underwear to ensure certain types of outcomes for the following year. Red for love and yellow for success.Naples, ItalyNeapolitans like throwing things out of windows, at least on New Year’s Eve. Furniture, kitchen machines, grandma. Well, maybe not the last one. Let’s hope not, anyway. This tradition is meant to symbolize an out—with—the—old gesture and getting a brand new beginning for the new year. These days people are a bit more mindful about what they toss down to the street below.SpainIn 1909, winegrowers in the Alicante region of Spain had a brilliant idea: start and promote an annual tradition that would involve people having to buy and eat more grapes. One must eat 12 grapes on New Year’s Eve to encourage prosperity for the coming year. Now, it’s a popular custom in Iberia. But the problem is that one has to eat a grape for each bell strike at midnight.21. What does a cross shape mean?A. Love.B. Wealth.C. Happiness.D. Misfortune.22. What’s new about Neapolitans’ tradition?A. They hate using furniture.B. They throw their grandma out of windows.C. They are more careful about what to throw.D. They like making gestures in front of the window.23. Which country has the tradition of eating grapes?A. Germany.B. Brazil.C. Italy.D. Spain.BRemember Vitainwater’s “free of rolling screen for a year” challenge that dared people to be free from smart phones for a whole year will win $100,000? Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming grand prize.Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge. Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smart phones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survive for an entire year without a handheld smart phone was Elana Mugdan, a 29-year-old fiction writer from Queens, New York. Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye-opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smart phone. Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn’t want to go back to days when she abused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed with social media.But not having access to her smart phone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before. “Many people did me a favor. However, once, I almost got stranded(滞留) in the SeaTac airport because the phone number I’d written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me,” the young writer said.Another time, her car’s “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night. She couldn’t use her phone’s GPS location feature, or even check what the light meant on Google or find a nearby car repair shop. Still, she learned to overcome these situations. And now she claims the lasteight months of phone-free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she’ll keep it for another four months.24. What’s the challenge “free of rolling screen for a year”?A. People free from smart phones can live a richer life.B. People living a telephone-free life can be awarded every year.C. People living without computers for a year will win grand prize.D. People spending a year free from smart phones will get a reward.25. Which phrase can replace the underlined part “obsessed with” in paragraph 2?A. satisfied withB. accustomed toC. addicted toD. popular with26. What does Elana Mugdan mainly want to express in paragraph 3?A. It’s fantastic to have someone to help her all the way.B. It’s unimaginable to lose her phone number on the way.C. It’s unnecessary to refer to information with a smart phone.D. It’s difficult to get out of the trouble without a smart phone.27. What can we learn about Elana Mudgan?A. She couldn’t live without a smart phone.B. She finds no one can help her in the adventure.C. She has not won the grand $ 100,000 prize yet.D. She used to use her smart phone to write fiction.CIf you’re one of the millions of those who use escalators each year, you are probably deeply familiar with the vertical grooves(竖凹槽) that cover each stair. Few of us have stopped to consider why they exist, though. In fact, it’s one of the everyday things we take for granted.But it is a little complicating when you think about it. Sure, thedeep, grey lines make an escalator’s metal stairs more appealing to theeye. But regular stairs don’t have grooves like these; why do escalatorsneed them? Is it because of the movement?It turns out those grooves serve a more functional purpose. And,yes, it does have to do with the movement, as well as with generalcleanliness! Anyone who has ridden an escalator knows that the steps everlastingly circulate from the top to the bottom. You’ve surely noticed the ridged yellow lip at the top of the escalator. But here’s what you may not have noticed: As an escalator’s steps flatten, this ridge—also called the comb plate—sweeps away any trash or litter that might have fallen on the stairs. Those grooves lock the step and comb plate together, which makes it harder for any dangerous materials to slide underneath the lip. This prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in that gap, potentially causing the escalator to stop, or worse, break down completely.That’s not the only reason why the grooves were created, though. They are also a good place for water to pool together, protecting you from a bad fall on the slick surface.So the next time you step on an escalator, take a moment to appreciate those metal grooves. They exist to make sure you get to your office meeting on time.28. What are the first two paragraphs trying to say?A. Millions of people use escalators every year.B. Few people think much about the grooves.C. Escalators are complicated machines.D. Grooves make the stairs look better.29. The ridge is mainly designed to____A. clean off dangerous objects.B. keep the stairs in movement.C. flatten the steps.D. lock the steps.30. What does the underlined word “slick” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Smooth.B. Sticky.C. Steep.D. Slippery.31. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The importance of escalators.B. The reasons for grooves on stairs.C. The look of grooves in escalators.D. The safe ways of riding escalators.DFriendship is an important part of human life. Friends can share our joys and our hardships. We aren’t alone. Many different animals also make friends.Recently, a British research team finished an eight-year study of Indo-Pacific dolphins off the coast ofWestern Australia. These dolphins can use different tools to search for food. The researchers found that these dolphins are more willing to hang out with partners that like the same tool. Other factors, like family closeness or sex, have no impact on this relationship.“It suggests that dolphins form social bonds(纽带) based on shared interests,” UK biologist Simon Allen told Science Daily. “Using different tools is time-consuming(耗时间的)” for dolphins to cooperate.Apart from dolphins, elephants, horses and bats are also known to form friendships. Are friendships only limited to the same species?Of course not, The Atlantic reported. In 2015, a goat Timur was originally left in the tiger Amur’s enclosure(围场) as a meal. But instead of eating Timur, Amur likes to play with it and gets jealous when others are close to his friend.The Atlantic said it’s not unusual among captive(圈禁的) animals. That’s because in captivity, animals don’t need to spend much time and energy marking their territory(领地) or looking for mates the way they would in the wild. They are actually more likely to feel bored. “In this particular situation, the animal’s motivation to engage(参与) socially and playfully may be higher than eating.”More interestingly, animals not only make friends but also try to keep lasting friendships.Take bats for example. In 2011, scientists found bats prefer to hang out with a few certain friends, keeping loose ties to the rest of their group.Humans aren’t so different. “We do not work, play and live together with the same friends all the time,” Swiss zoologist Gerald Kerth explained. “But nevertheless, we are able to maintain long-term relationships ... despite our often highly dynamic(动态的) social lives.”32. What did the recent British research find about dolphins?A. They form friendships based on family closeness.B. They are likely to make friends based on interests.C. They are better at building friendships than other animals.D. They form a group to hunt food together.33. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 6?A. To show how different species get along with each other.B. To prove captive animals are friendlier than others.C. To explain why captive animals can form friendships.D. To compare the difference between a tiger and a goat’s friendship.34. What can we infer from Gerald Kerth’s words?A. Animals like to hang out with different friends.B. Animals might feel bored with friends of the same species.C. Humans are better at keeping long-term bonds than animals.D. Humans and animals make and maintain friendships in similar ways.35. What’s the text mainly about?A. How to build strong ties with your friends.B. How animals form and keep friendship.C. The importance of friendship for animals.D. The different ways humans and animals socialize.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。
