ADressed in a tatty makeshift (破旧的替代品)Lionel Messi soccer shirt made of a plastic bag, a little Afghan fan dreams of becoming a soccer star one day like the Barcelona legend.Murtaza Ahmadi, 5, can often be seen playing on the muddy ground in front of his home in the eastern province of Ghazni, A fghanistan. “My greatest wish is to meet with Lionel Messi one day, learn from him and become a star like him,” Murtaza said.With his room decorated with posters of the star, the child known locally as Messi-e-Kochak (junior Messi) got worldwide popularity after photos of him dressed in the makeshift Messi shirt were posted on Facebook by his elder brother Hamayon.Internet users quickly started a global search to identify the youngster, and an Iraqi television program said that the boy was from Kurdistan in Iraq at the beginning. However, Murtaza’s uncle and some Afghan youths correctly identified one of Messi’s youngest fans.En couraged by Messi’s personality and achievements, the boy never misses a match on TV in which the star is playing, according to his father, Arif Ahmadi, 44.Messi’s father, Jorge Messi, said his son knew the photos that were hot on social media and “wants to do something” for his young fan. On Monday, the Afghanistan Football Federation said Messi wanted to meet with Murtaza as soon as possible, although no date or place has been finalized.21. What’s Murtaza’s dream?A. To have a real Messi shirt.B. To take a picture with Messi.C. To become a soccer star like Messi.D. To defeat Messi in a soccer match.22. What happened to Murtaza after he got well-known worldwide?A. He was interviewed by an Iraqi TV program.B. He was mistakenly identified as an Iranian.C. He was asked to join Messi’s youngest fans’ team.D. Messi’s father wanted to do something for him.23. We can learn from the passage that Messi .A. named Murtaza Ahmadi junior MessiB. wanted to give Murtaza Ahmadi a soccer shirtC. decided to teach Murtaza Ahmadi to play soccerD. expected to meet with Murtaza Ahmadi soonBUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.24. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A. Using river water.B. Throwing batteries away.C. Paving parking lots.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes.25. What can be inferred from the text?A. All water shortages are due to human behavior.B. It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.26. The last paragraph is intended to .A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. prove what drinking glass is best for usD. suggest what we do to save water at home27. The text is mainly about .A. why paving roads reduces our waterB. how much we depend on water to liveC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. how human activity affects our water supplyCDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you dropped it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad have made a gadget(小装置) rescue guide. So, let's take a look at some of their useful advice.How to get more juice out of your phone battery?If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery out from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone but use it quickly.What to do if your gadget gets wet?First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器). If a vacuum cleaner isn't at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don't forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.What to do if your TV remote control stops working?If replacing the battery doesn't work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyes don't. If the glass bobble doesn't light up, the remote is br oken. If it does light up, the receiving device(装置) is broken.28. If your cellphone falls into a sink, you can .A. warm it up under your armB. remove the battery after you dry itC. put it into the uncooked riceD. press it with both of your hands29. Why can a phone be used to check whether the TV remote control works or not?A. Because it can improve the TV remote control.B. Because it can receive infrared rays.C. Because it can picture the TV remote control.D. Because it can reflect infrared rays.30. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this passage?A. Life.B. Entertainment.C. Finance.D. Culture.31. The purpose of this passage is to give people .A. personal opinionsB. professional informationC. necessary warningsD. practical tipsDPsychologist Dr. John Protzko from University of California, Santa Barbara analyzed an existing study to find out whether and how environmental interventions affected the intelligence levels of low birth weight children. The key finding: Interventions did raise intelligence levels, but not permanently. When the interventions ended, their effects decreased over time in what psychologists describe as "the fadeout effect.""Certain environmental interventions can raise general intelligence," said Protzko." To intervene is not just to raise scores in a test; it's deep changes to general intelligence which showsunderlying cognitive abilities (潜在认知能力). The fadeout effect, however, works the same way."Protzko reviewed the results of an early program in which all 985 children experienced a cognitively difficult environment during the first three years of their lives. Three main interventions had been used to ameliorate the negative effects of being born at low birth weight. At age three, the children were given intelligence tests as a baseline measure of their intelligence. At ages five and eight, at least two years after the interventions had ended, they were tested again.The results showed that the interventions had raised the children's general intelligence at age three. However, by age five the increases were no longer obvious. According to Protzko, this shows that the fadeout effect happens to general intelligence.One idea suggests that intelligence can be connected between two ages because there is a causal connection: Intelligence at one age causes intelligence at another age. "Studies will have to be done in adults to really pull that apart, but my analysis starts to bring evidence against that idea of causality — at least not in children," Protzko explained."Raising IQs is not a matter of raising te st scores with no effects on the underlying intelligence," Protzko said. "While both IQ scores and general intelligence can be raised through environmental interventions, the increases are not permanent and fade over time."However, he noted, his analysis doesn't mean that interventions aimed at raising intellectual development are useless or will certainly fail. "I believe it is still a good thing to intervene for these children," he said.32. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. IQs Are Born With and Can Never Be Changed.B. IQ Scores Don't Represent General Intelligence.C. IQs Can Be Raised-But Maybe Not Permanently.D. When to Intervene to Raise Children's IQs?33. What does the underlined word "ameliorate" in Para 3 mean?A. Make something greater.B. Make something become better.C. Cause something to happen.D. Cause something to last longer.34. According to Protzko, intelligence at two agesA. really has a causal connectionB. may have a causal connectionC. has a causal connection only in childrenD. doesn’t have a causal connection in children35. Protzko tho ught that intervening in children’s intelligence is .A. harmfulB. necessaryC. worth doingD. certainly to fail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。
