Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4．What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5．What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6．Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8．What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9．How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11．What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12．What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13．Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14．What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16．In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible. Active listening, on the other hand, is the skill of receiving information.

Have free-flowing brainstorming sessions that allow for the exploration of diverse ideas without immediate judgment. Additionally, exposing yourself to different fields promotes creative solution.Mistakes are not failures but valuable stepping stones on the path to mastery. ④Analyse what went wrong, identify areas for improvement and use this knowledge to inform your future problem-solving efforts. Creating a culture that opens the eyes of mistakes within a team or organization encourages an environment where individuals feel comfortable admitting errors.The journey to becoming a skilled problem solver is an ongoing process of growth and improvement. ⑤ __ Remain curious and open to acquiring new knowledge and skills that are directly applicable to your problem-solving attempt. That ensures you stay ahead of evolving challenges and acquire the skills needed to navigate an ever-changing landscape.Furthermore, participating in industry events, joining professional associations and connecting with mentors can offer insights that enrich your problem-solving skills.A. Seek continuous learning opportunities.B. Therefore, comprehension is a vital skill to develop.C. Effective conversation begins with the art of expression.D. Problem-solving at its best requires the out-of-the-box thinking.E. And they could help you achieve more in your personal life too.F. Each misstep provides an opportunity for reflection and learning.G. Each individual brings unique information to overcome challenges.三、完形填空（15空）Filkin’s Drift, a band of two in UK, have been highlighting sustainability (可持续性) inworking to spotlight sustainability and the environment in their work.17．A. completed B. planned C. canceled D. delayed18．A. failed B. ended C. slowed D. closed19．A. scheduled B. interrupted C. appreciated D. relocated20．A. picked out B. taken up C. caught up D. set aside21．A. security B. relaxation C. reputation D. environment22．A. researchers B. followers C. musicians D. professors23．A. instruments B. documents C. envelopes D. photographs24．A. compete B. perform C. advertise D. conclude25．A. crucial B. profitable C. practical D. colorful26．A. evaluate B. clear C. outline D. further27．A. constantly B. secretly C. randomly D. differently28．A. inform B. request C. inspire D. permit29．A. possible B. flexible C. typical D. private30．A. limit B. creation C. upgrade D. need31．A. examines B. joins C. employs D. declines四、短文填空32．Flowers, birds, figures and landscapes seem to jump out of the pictures on the walls of craftsman Hao Ruxiang’s workshop.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

So I became an extremely shy young lady.One day Mr. Hadley told us that we would be required to come to the front of the class and read the reports that we had completed.When my turn came, I refused to stand in front of all those students and open up to their tricks. Mr. Hadley handed me my report and asked me to read it. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front and said,“Martha has a very good report here and I think everyone needs to hear her read it. If you make strange noises or make fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. OK?”Mr. Hadley walked back to me and handed me the paper again, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked there on legs that were shaking and I felt a rabbit in my chest. Everyone was all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to be calm.Mr. Hadley walked over to me and put his arm around me,“You can do it. I have confidence in you!” His words helped me calm down. I read the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and making fun of me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.From that day on the kids never made fun of me any more and some actually made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school but I knew if I had to stand up in front of the class, I could do it.51.

Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of theMain Reading Room is 51 feet high. Here, a reader can sit and work in comfort.The library has over thirty million books and paintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare’s play, a Bible printed in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.Every New Yorker can visit the library and use its riches -- free.But the cost of running the library has ri sen sharply in recent years, and the library has not enough money to continue its work. In the p ast, it was open every day. Now it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and every evening to save money.The library is trying to raise more money to meet its increasing cost. Well-known writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City. But the problem remains serious.Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said,“The Public Library is the most important building in New York City -- it contains all our knowledge.”56. Where is the New York Public Library?A. Outside New York.B. In the north of the city.C. In the busiest part of New York.D. In the heart of a university.57. What can be found in the library?A. A Bible read by Columbus.B. All the copies of Shakespeare’s plays.C. More than forty million paintings.D. A letter about finding the new world.58. The periods when the library is open now include _______ .A. Tuesday eveningB. Sunday morningC. Saturday afternoonD. Monday morning59. What is the passage mainly about?A, Saving a library. B. Repairing an old building.C. Building a new library.D. Reading in comfort.60. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The library has grass and trees in it.B. New Yorkers don’t have to pay to use the library.C. Famous writers d on’t have to pay to use the library.D. The main reading room of the library is 15 feet high.CIf you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion（时尚）.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of thedesigner. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime(消遣)!61. What do people basically wear clothes for?A. Looking attractive to others.B. Following the fashion.C. Appearing successful to others.D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.62. The main reason why clothes are sometimes very expensive is that _______.A. one has to buy new clothesB. these clothes are in fashionC. the cost of the cloth is highD. making clothes costs much63. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. expensive clothes are not worth their pricesB. fashion is not always changingC. expensive clothes are warmerD. fashion designers like expensive clothes64. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fashionable clothes shops.B. The clothes that some people have.C. Cupboards for storing clothes.D. Shelves used for keeping books.65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Suits and ties.B. Clothes and fashion.C. Beauty and success.D. Cost and pastime.DWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. When I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How strong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Rose a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help.“Yes,” I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said,“Are you getting married, young man？But aren’t you a bit young?“I’m not talking about marriage,” I replied,“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where is a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Rose explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me,“I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”66. Where was the writer from?A. AmericaB. EnglandC. FranceD. China67. At the airport, the writer wanted ________.A. to tell Rose his arrivalB. his friend to see him offC. to make friends with RoseD. to go to the telephone company68.

British people don’t have any language problems in the US.C. Most of French children are required to learn English at school.D. British and American people understand each other most of the time.五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A new club will be set up for students who like music.
