AJumanji (勇敢者的游戏) is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boa rding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah, arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.’’ Suddenly Alan finds th at he is disappearing into the game.The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.In Jumanji, time is flexible. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically possible!21. From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who .A. dislikes his study at schoolB. is afraid of his serious fatherC. was born a hundred years agoD. goes back to the past in the game22. Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should .A. escape into the pastB. face them bravelyC. ask for his father’s adviceD. read the words on the box23. What does the author mean when he says time is flexible?A. One can travel in time.B. Science can change the limit of time.C. Time travel is impossible in space.D. Time is a common topic in film-making.BIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini (西葫芦).My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pl easantly, “I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hoped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to seewhere the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled. w Well, actually, those are cucumbers (黄瓜) that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped (哽住) a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.’’24. Why does the author warn people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.25. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.26. What did the neighbor do in Sharon’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’s help.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.27. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste .A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and deliciousCLand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involvesusing physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modem Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modem Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay (衰落). That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.28. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.B. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C. American artists were the first to create Land Art.D. People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.29. What do we know about Robert Smithson?A. He is a great creative artist.B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.C. He made the most famous Land Art.D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.30. One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in .A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Works of Land Art.B. History of Land Art.C. Changes of Land Art.D. Introduction of Land Art.DPeople have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, jiving for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” t he study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous (癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox (悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals usi ng protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the S chool of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A. They have a rather large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A. Deadly tumors.B. The huge body mass.C. Cells killing themselves.D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.35. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.D. The extra copies of elephants, genes are used to cure cancer patients.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
