Single roomBA June storm dumped six inches of rain over Columbia in Missouri with little warning—causing floodwaters from rivers to burst the banks and overflow zones to be turned into ponds.When 15-year-old Dominic Viet and 16-year-old Joseph Diener passed a basketball court that had turned into a pool, they heard the terrified shouting of a young woman desperately trying to keep her head above water under the force of a current. The boys had seen the young woman swimming with a friend there before, but it was now obvious that she was drowning."The first thing that came into my mind was to get into the water," Dominic told CNN. "We didn't have time to think. Her head was barely above the water and we could see her sinking more down every second. We didn't think about the risks. We had to get her out." Lifting her up onto their shoulders, Dominic and Joseph got her ashore, where emergency services arriving at someone else's call performed first aid and rushed her to the hospital.The fire department will honor the two boys with a "Citizen Life Safety Award". Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Jenkins described the boys' act as heroic, as did Dominic's mom, who had been calling her son for some time before and was growing nervous. She sent her husband to check on his position, but when he arrived, he saw ambulances and fire trucks from the call that was meant to rescue the young woman. "I thought of the worst. He was on a bike and people weren't paying attention and my fear was that he was going to pull up and see our son on the ground," said Dominic's mom. "But then I got a text from Dominic saying 'Coming home soon, just saved a woman's life', Mom.""Floodwaters are no conditions to swim in. There can be sewage (污水) runoff, loose chemicals, downed power lines charging the current with electricity, or pieces of wood, metal, or brick, etc." warned Jerry Jenkins.4. What was the two boys' first reaction upon hearing the woman's shout?A. They were too terrified to remove.B. They performed first aid on her.C. They called emergency services.D. They risked their own lives to save her.5. Which of the following words can best describe the two boys?A. Helpful and brave.B. Humorous and polite.C. Generous and modest.D. Ambitious and gifted.6. What message does Jerry Jenkins mainly try to convey in the last paragraph?A. It is quite necessary to learn to swim.B. Floodwaters have various potential dangers.C. It is rather unpopular to swim in floodwaters.D. Knowing life-saving skills is of great importance.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Terrible StormB. A Special AwardC. A Drowning WomanD. Two Teenage HeroesCCats are notorious for their indifference to humans: almost any owner will testify to how readily these animals ignore us when we call them. But a new study indicates domestic cats do recognize their own names—even if they walk away when they hear them.Atsuko Saito, a behavioral scientist now at Sophia University in Tokyo, previously showed that cats can recognize their owner's voice. In her latest study, which involved 78 cats from Japanese households and a "cat café", she homed in on responses to their names.Saito and her colleagues first had owners repeatedly say four words that sounded similar to their cats' names until the animals habituated to those words and stopped responding. Next the owners said the actual names, and the researchers looked at whether individual cats (when living among other cats) appeared able to distinguish their names. The cats had more pronounced responses to their own names—meowing or moving their ears, heads or tails—than to similar words or other cats' names, according to the study, which was published in April in Scientific Reports.The researchers also had people unfamiliar to the cats speak the names. Although the felines' responses were less prominent than when their owners called them, they still appeared to recognize their names."This new study clearly shows that many cats react to their own names when spoken by their owners," says biologist John Bradshaw, who formerly studied human-animal interactions at the University of Bristol's Anthrozoology Institute and was not involved in the work. But Bradshaw says he is less convinced cats can recognize their names when spoken by someone unfamiliar. "I think that it's entirely possible that some cats are able to generalize between one human voice and another, but I'd like to see more trials before I'd say that the evidence is compelling," he says.Saito says the cats in the experiments probably "associated their names with some rewards or punishments," and she thinks it is unlikely they understand that these sounds are attached to them as individuals. "There is no evidence that cats have the ability to recognize themselves, like us," she explains. "So the recognition of their name is different from ours." Still, it may be possible to teach cats to recognize other words. Whether that could allow humans to train cats to respond to commands—as dogs readily do—is another matter.8. What did Atsuko Saito's study find about cats?A. Cats are indifferent to humans.B. Cats are sensitive to their owners' names.C. Cats can understand human language.D. Cats can make out their own names.9. What do the underlined words "habituated to" mean in Paragraph 3?A. Stuck to.B. Appealed to.C. Got used to.D. Made it to.10. What can we learn from John Bradshaw's words?A. He thinks cats can respond to strangers.B. He thinks cats can't distinguish their names.C. He thinks more evidence is needed.D. He thinks the findings fully convincing.11. What can be inferred about cats from the last paragraph?A. Cats may be trained to recognize words.B. Cats may be taught to talk to humans.C. Cats may be able to know themselves.D. Cats may be more intelligent than dogs.DI recently received an email. It began with the word "Warning". "Warning," the stranger hadwritten. "This post could be a trigger for the trying to conceive / miscarriage community." I belong to neither community, and as I clicked to read the whole story I felt an uneasy pulse of social-media sympathy—part goodness, part gossip. But it turned out that there was a surprise party with a cake and balloons. My stranger was having a baby, after much difficulty.Some will say that we should stop sharing life's milestones and comforts with online strangers. Others will say that people have the right to mark these events and display their privileges however they want. The debate whirls around and around. It's more interesting to think about the type of culture we'll continue to build out of social media's strange architecture. So, with every warning or disclaimer that we attach to our happy bulletins, we're imagining the responses of others.We've all heard the horror stories of social media. Problems like cyber-bullying and scandals have spread fears among some users. However, social media use has many positives that we are consistently overlooking. Social media makes us more social. The positive impacts of social media outweigh the negatives by allowing us to engage more with people we know, people we don't and create positive changes by a few taps on a screen.Social media allows us to be more engaged with people we already know. From my own experience, I know that the relationships I've built with other people have only been stronger because of social media by allowing me the ability to keep up with their lives regardless if I'm able to see them in person. Many of us were separated from our friends and family once we left for college, and social media effortlessly aids us in keeping those relationships.Above everything else, social media allows us to make strong and lasting relationships with people without the hesitation or fear of putting ourselves in physical danger. We can reach out to people and engage in conversation in a safe environment.12. Why does the author raise his personal experience in Paragraph 1?A. To show the negative influence that social media brings to us.B. To share the embarrassing story after receiving the e-mail.C. To set out what makes him dislike the social media.D. To introduce the topic of social media.13. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people ______.A. get the definite conclusion about whether sharing with strangers online.B. will develop the new and creative ability to talk with parents.C. are prone to consider others' responses when they share happiness online.D. never share meaningful moments online with others.14. Which of the following benefits of social media is not mentioned in the passage?A. It gives us support to stay in touch with the people we already know.B. It enables us to keep sustainable and strong relationships with others.C. It drives us to move out from the comfort zone and make more new friends.D. It allows us to have the conversation with people in a safe environment.15. What is the author's attitude towards social media?A. Tolerant.B. Conservative.C. Objective.D. Supportive.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFrances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail GuideThe Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21,1997. Boscobel’s Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member, Frances Stevens Reese(1917-2003), one year after his death.The trail（小径）is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by area specialists.When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.●Before walking the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.●Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.●Leave rocks, plants, animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.●Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.21.When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?A.In 1997.B.In 1917.C.In 2003.D.In 2004.22.What can you see along the trail?A.An old battle field.B.A glass factory.rmation signs.D.Rock houses.23.What should you do as a thoughtful visitor?A.Leave the wildlife undisturbed.B.Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.C.Make reservations in the Carriage House.D.Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.BI used to watch her from my kitchen window, she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she sa id, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”Then she smiled and ran towards the court to repeat the routine I had seen over and over again. Well, I had to give it to her--she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms.I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply. “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5’55’’ she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team--much less offered a scholarship--so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing--her own attitude. He told her again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.It’s true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.24.When the author watched the girl playing basketball for the first time, he was ________.A.curiousB. admiringC. cheerfulD. encouraged25.“it” in Para. 3 most probably refers to ________.A.the courtB. the basketballC. the author’s praiseD. the author’s suggestion26.Which of the following statements about the girl is CORRECT?A.she changed her attitude toward basketball because of the coach.B.she was convinced by her father that the coach was wrong.C.she became totally unconfident about herself later on.D.she was very much disappointed at the coach’s words.27.It can be inferred from the passage that a college recruiter is responsible for ________.A.determining who should be offered a scholarshipB.finding the best basketball players for a collegeC.training a college basketball teamD.awarding a scholarship fairCMany have longed for lightweight, durable, and flexible touch screen devices, thanks to science fiction. While some seem impossible to make, the tri-folding tablets in the US sci-fi TV series Westworld look like something we could go buy sooner or later. The 2012 film Looper likewise shows cellphones that could be folded up into half their size.Now, after 11 years of promising this foldable future, South Korean electronics company Samsung has finally delivered. With other companies rushing to roll out their own flexible phones, it seems that they've kicked off a new arms race in the smartphone industry.Back in November, Samsung announced its newest model, the Galaxy Fold. Since then, Xiaomi, Huawei and other Chinese companies have announced similar plans for foldable phones. It looks like Samsung won't take the lead all by itself, however. The same month, Royole, a lesser-known electronics brand from China, announced that it had a model – the Flexpai – ready to release. And at the 2019 Mobile World Congress, which concluded on Feb 28 in Spain, Huawei took the covers off its foldable Huawei Mate X for 2019.But why has it taken so many years to turn the idea into reality? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult and expensive to produce. They wrote that, in 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED screens produced were defective (有缺陷的). Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent.It's fun to think about how we could use this technology. We could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. Instead of carrying heavy backpacks, all of our textbooks – and the whole library – could fit into our pockets. It's also nice to think that we might not have to worry about dropping our devices.The Galaxy Flex, Flexpai phones and Huawei Mate X are just the first step to that foldable future. In a keynote address, Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product marketing, JustinDenison, called the foldable screen "the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow". "It's a blank canvas for us to do something beautiful together," he said.However, if you recall the 2002 movie Minority Report, this foldable future might not be so bright. Seventeen years ago, it introduced many people to the concept of flexible screens. What was their biggest use? Inescapable advertisements on every surface that followed the characters wherever they went.28.What used to be a problem of the foldable phone?A.The material required for the screen was rare.B.The concept did not appeal to the public.C.Foldable phones were not durable and easily broke.D.The produced screens often failed to work properly.29.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Popular flexible touch screen device.B.Possible uses of the foldable screen.C.Advantages of the foldable screen.D.Where the idea of foldable screens came from.30.What would Denison most probably agree with?A.The Galaxy Fold still has many problems.B.The price of foldable phones will soon drop.C.The foldable screen has great potential.D.Close cooperation is needed for foldable phones to develop.31.What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the foldable screen?A.Negative.B. Supportive.B.Objective. D. Unconcerned.DCompanies wishing to perform better and cut their risk of bankruptcy(破产) should have more female directors on their board of directors. Women's abilities to make fair decisions when competing interests are at stake(有风险) make them better company leaders, researchers have found.A survey of more than 600 board directors showed that women are more likely to consider the rights of others and take a cooperative approach to decision-making. This approach translates into better performance for their companies.The study, published this week in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, also found that male directors prefer to make decisions using rules, regulations and traditional ways of doing business. Female directors, on the other hand, are less restricted by these parameters(参量) and more prepared to use initiative than male colleagues.In addition, female directors - who, globally, make up around nine percent of the board of directors - are significantly more inclined to make decisions by taking the interests of multiple stakeholders(参与人) into account in order to arrive at a fair decision. They also tend to usecooperation and consensus-building more often - and more effectively - in order to make sound decisions.The study was conducted by Chris Bart, professor of strategic management at the DeGroote School of Business at Canada's McMaster University, and Gregory McQueen, a McMaster graduate and senior executive associate dean at A.T. Still University's School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona.Bart said: “We've known for some time that companies that have more women on their boards have better results. Our findings show that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. ”32.In which section could we probably find this passage?A.EntertainmentB. EducationC. BusinessD. Finance33.From the survey we can learn that _____.A.female directors are more likely to consider the rights of their companiesB.female directors tend to take a cooperative approach to decision-makingC.Female directors make greater contributions than male directorspanies can perform better only by having more female directors on their boardpared with male directors, female directors _____.A.prefer to make decisions using traditional ways of doing businessB.are more restricted by those parametersC.prefer to make decisions using rules and regulationsD.are more prepared to use initiative35.According to Chris Bart, which of the following statements is true?panies with more women on their boards have the best results.B.Having women on the board is no longer the right thing.C.It’s wise to have more women on the boardpanies with no female directors must have a bad result.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。

She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing--her own attitude. He told h er again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.It’s true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.24.When the author watched the girl playing basketball for the first time, he was ________.A.curiousB. admiringC. cheerfulD. encouraged25.“it” in Para. 3 most probably refers to ________.A.the courtB. the basketballC. the author’s praiseD. the author’s suggestion26.Which of the following statements about the girl is CORRECT?A.she changed her attitude toward basketball because of the coach.B.she was convinced by her father that the coach was wrong.C.she became totally unconfident about herself later on.D.she was very much disappointed at the coach’s words.27.It can be inferred from the passage that a college recruiter is responsible for ________.A.determining who should be offered a scholarshipB.finding the best basketball players for a collegeC.training a college basketball teamD.awarding a scholarship fairCMany have longed for lightweight, durable, and flexible touch screen devices, thanks to science fiction. While some seem impossible to make, the tri-folding tablets in the US sci-fi TV series Westworld look like something we could go buy sooner or later. The 2012 film Looper likewise shows cellphones that could be folded up into half their size.Now, after 11 years of promising this foldable future, South Korean electronics company Samsung has finally delivered. With other companies rushing to roll out their own flexible phones, it seems that they've kicked off a new arms race in the smartphone industry.Back in November, Samsung announced its newest model, the Galaxy Fold. Since then, Xiaomi, Huawei and other Chinese companies have announced similar plans for foldable phones. It looks like Samsung won't take the lead all by itself, however. The same month, Royole, a lesser-known electronics brand from China, announced that it had a model – the Flexpai – ready to release. And at the 2019 Mobile World Congress, whichconcluded on Feb 28 in Spain, Huawei took the covers off its foldable Huawei Mate X for 2019.But why has it taken so many years to turn the idea into reality? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult and expensive to produce. They wrote that, in 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED screens produced were defective (有缺陷的). Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent.It's fun to think about how we could use this technology. We could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. Instead of carrying heavy backpacks, all of our textbooks –and the whole library –could fit into our pockets. It's also nice to think that we might not have to worry about dropping our devices.The Galaxy Flex, Flexpai phones and Huawei Mate X are just the first step to that foldable future. In a keynote address, Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product marketing, JustinDenison, called the foldable screen "the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow". "It's a blank canvas for us to do something beautiful together," he said.However, if you recall the 2002 movie Minority Report, this foldable future might not be so bright. Seventeen years ago, it introduced many people to the concept of flexible screens. What was their biggest use? Inescapable advertisements on every surface that followed the characters wherever they went.28.What used to be a problem of the foldable phone?A.The material required for the screen was rare.B.The concept did not appeal to the public.C.Foldable phones were not durable and easily broke.D.The produced screens often failed to work properly.29.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Popular flexible touch screen device.B.Possible uses of the foldable screen.C.Advantages of the foldable screen.D.Where the idea of foldable screens came from.30.What would Denison most probably agree with?A.The Galaxy Fold still has many problems.B.The price of foldable phones will soon drop.C.The foldable screen has great potential.D.Close cooperation is needed for foldable phones to develop.31.What is the author’s attitude tow ard the future of the foldable screen?A.Negative.B. Supportive.B.Objective. D. Unconcerned.DCompanies wishing to perform better and cut their risk of bankruptcy(破产) should have more female directors on their board of directors. Women's abilities to make fair decisions when competing interests are at stake(有风险) make them better company leaders, researchers have found.A survey of more than 600 board directors showed that women are more likely to consider the rights of others and take a cooperative approach to decision-making. This approach translates into better performance for their companies.The study, published this week in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, also found that male directors prefer to make decisions using rules, regulations and traditionalways of doing business. Female directors, on the other hand, are less restricted by these parameters(参量) and more prepared to use initiative than male colleagues.In addition, female directors - who, globally, make up around nine percent of the board of directors - are significantly more inclined to make decisions by taking the interests of multiple stakeholders(参与人) into account in order to arrive at a fair decision. They also tend to usecooperation and consensus-building more often - and more effectively - in order to make sound decisions.The study was conducted by Chris Bart, professor of strategic management at the DeGroote School of Business at Canada's McMaster University, and Gregory McQueen, a McMaster graduate and senior executive associate dean at A.T. Still University's School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona.Bart said: “We've known for some time that companies that have more women on their boards have better results. Our findings show that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. ”32.In which section could we probably find this passage?A.EntertainmentB. EducationC. BusinessD. Finance33.From the survey we can learn that _____.A.female directors are more likely to consider the rights of their companiesB.female directors tend to take a cooperative approach to decision-makingC.Female directors make greater contributions than maledirectorspanies can perform better only by having more female directors on their boardpared with male directors, female directors _____.A.prefer to make decisions using traditional ways of doing businessB.are more restricted by those parametersC.prefer to make decisions using rules and regulationsD.are more prepared to use initiative35.According to Chris Bart, which of the following statements is true?panies with more women on their boards have the best results.B.Having women on the board is no longer the right thing.C.It’s wise to have more women on the boa rdpanies with no female directors must have a bad result.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。

AThese days having a best friend seems so important to girls. However I have learned that having one best friend is not the way to go. It's so much better to have many great friends.As I was coming into Middle School, I was really excited because my friend Jennifer was going to be in the same Middle School! At first things were great, she introduced me to her friend Amy and we had lots of fun together. Then things started to change. Jennifer was very controlling: I couldn't make new friends, and pretty soon being Jennifer's friend was a struggle.Jennifer wanted to be the "leader" of our little group. Amy and I were never partners with each other in class projects or gym; it was always, "Who gets the privilege（特权）of being Jennifer's partner." Amy and I both wanted to be Jennifer's number one.I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after classes. They chatted by Jennifer's desk as Jennifer packed her books up and I waited by the door. Sometimes when they left, they'd walk right past me. No "Thanks for waiting." No "Sorry we took so long." It was as if they couldn't even see me.After months of living through school this way, I had really changed. I was moody, depressed, lonely. I spent lots of days trying not to cry, I felt so left out.Finally, near the very end of the school year, I was so incredibly sick of having to battle for friendship. I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and stopped waiting for her after class.It was tough at first, but now, I have tons of friends. We have fun and happy times together and I love them all to bits. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There's no struggling to be on top. I wish Jennifer could understand. Maybe one day she'll look back at what happened and she'll change, but even though I lost a friend, I am a happier person.21. What is the purpose of the writer writing this passageA. to describe her school lifeB. to criticize the way Jennifer treated her friendsC. to show her regret towards losing a friend.D. to advise girls to make many friends instead of one22.What does the sentence “Things started to change” refer toA. The writer lost interest in study.B. Lessons became more and more difficult.C. Being Jennifer’s friend became a struggle.D. The writer gave up the friendship with Jennifer.23. What can be implied from the last paragraphA. The writer regretted a lot about losing a friend.B. Jennifer has changed herself.C. All of the writer’s new friends are equal.D. The school life is always difficult for the writer.BAll my life I had wanted a dog. I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗)，wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicinein one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. It looked as if her eyes said, “Don’t leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that I ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.Since that night I have had a love for her that I never knew possible. She never leaves my side when I am at home. She has taught me to smile and laugh. Together with Maggie, I feel I can get through anything.24．The author got Maggie from _________.A．a friend B．her husband C．a pet store D．an adoption center 25．The underlined phrase “vomit up” can be replaced by _________.

This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methaneby microbes (微生物) in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua.“It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output,” Wang Feng, another scientist, said, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more than 90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as “the rice displays a greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures.” Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. “It’s still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope.”Human-induced methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in 2023, or 28 percent of the world’s total of 734 million. 33．SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because______.A．it tastes with a barley flavor.B．it well balances environmental protection and grains increase.C．it contains more starch than the ordinary rice.D．it gives off less methane in summer than in winter.34．What can we learn from the textA．Scientists will soon grow the new rice in large areas.B．Human-related methane contributes most to global warming. C．China may contribute greatly to global warming reduction.D．Rice fields will be reduced all over the world.35．The purpose of this writing is to________.A．ask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumption. B．draw people’s attention to the serious consequences of global warming.C．introduce a new kind of genetically-modified rice and its possible benefits.D．indicate human-related methane alone is to blame for global warming effects.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

ALast Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that in stead of hosti ng their friends and family for a traditi onal feast receptio n, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricke n area.The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the orga ni zati on and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feedi ngthem for the day.Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients （接受者）．On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. "It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things," Michael said. "Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."21.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?A.To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.B. To support the organization.C. To escape the damaging earthquake.D. To help distribute free daily meals.22.How did the couple celebrate their wedding?A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.B.They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.C.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.D.They took photos with the grateful victims.23.What does the underlined word "approached" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.took inB. moved towardsC. came acrossD. consulted with24.We can know from the text that __________________ . .A.Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern TurkeyB.Ted was a representative of the organizationC.Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard itD. Michael doubted if more new couples would follow himBResearch shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment.Children's relationships with peers （同龄人） strongly influence their success in school ，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school ，becoming depressed and other problems.Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child's PlayWhen 6- year- old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning ，her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie. “Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each other 's arms and hugged,”recalls Rachel's mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert. “It was like a scene from a movie.”Most parents instinctively （本能地）know that having friends is good for theirchild.Experts agree that friendship is not simply child ' play, but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.A Skill for LifeChildhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood, ” says Dr.Robbie Adler-Tapia, psychologist with the Center for Children ' Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Cen ter.Researcher William Hartup states, Peer relati ons con tribute sig ni fica ntly to both social andcognitive （认知的）development." Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior, but rather, how well a child gets along with other childre n.The work of Ariz ona State Uni versity professor of Developme ntal Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is ben eficial to kids while thelack of friends is detrimen tai.Good Frie ndships Don 'tJust Happe nExperts agree that it is essential for children to establish high-quality friendships.But, researchers warn, these frien dships don'tn ecessarily just happe n.Often, a good frien dship begi ns with in volved pare nts.Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Marka n believes kids should be taught social skills in much thesame way they are taught math and reading.Bad CompanyMany parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child 's friendships.“When she was in 1st grade，her supposed ‘best friend 'began calling her names and threatening to hurt her, ”says Mindy Miller. “My daughter wasn't allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit.I told my daughter she didn 't need a ‘friend'like that.”“ 'Ibe nd over backwards（拼命）to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him,”Adler-Tapia says.“I don 'tlook at it as manipulation （操纵），just positive parental involvement.”25.The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to indicate that _____ .A.childhood friendship is of great significance to their growthB. a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problemsC.it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout lifeD.Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend26.The underlined word “detrimental”could be replaced by ______ .A.aggressiveB. disappointingC. ridiculousD. harmful27.We can learn from the passage that high-quality friendship most probably results from ______ .A.social skills and good study habitsB. school grades and classroom behaviorsC. academic success and social adaptati onD. positive pare ntal in volveme nt andsocial skills28.From the last paragraph we can con clude that Dr.Robbie AdleFTapia agrees that _______ .A.pare nts should regard making friends as someth ing that just happe nsB.it 'wise for pare nts to support and en courage healthy peer relati on shipsC.pare nts only n eed to help their childre n to cope with difficult social situatio nsD.parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they canCEcotourism: A Different Way to TravelAre you attracted to unknown places? Do you prefer to vacation away from other tourists ? Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, you just might be an ecotourist.Ecotourists are people who want to experience the unspoiled natural world—and leave it that way when they return home.This trend started in the 1990s, and ecotourism is now growing three times faster tha n the en tire tourism in dustry .The Kapawi Ecolodge in Ecuador^ remote Amazon Basin is contributing to that expansion, and it gives a snapshot ofwhat ecotourism looks like.At the Ecolodge, a small group of cab ins sits in the middle of the Achuar people ' reserveand is only accessible by air.From here，visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders.As they do，local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket，where they find food ，clothing ，medicine and tools.As a result，tourists learn to appreciate the local culture as well as the natural environment.The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people，but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge.They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011.The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people.You probably won 't start your own ecolodge ，but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines：Protect the environment ；Support local businesses ；Respect the local customs and traditions.The world is full of fascinating places to visit.As an ecotourist ，you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well.29.According to the text ，the ecotourists should be __ .A. those who like to experience the easily-remembered natural environmentB.those who like to go to their travelling places by hikingC.those who prefer an undamaged natural world and remain what it used to beD.those who prefer unique natural environment of cultural relics30.At the Kapawi ecolodge，visitors can 't ___ .A.explore the Amazon rainforestB. reach there by airC. live in the Achuar reserveD. see many travelers from outside31.Which of the words is closest in meaning to the word “snapshot”in the second paragraph?A. Idea.B. Aim.C. Adventure.D. Opportunity.32.We can learn from the passage that _______ .A. the Kapawi ecolodge will continue to run and manage the lodge after 2011B.the Kapawi ecolodge owners are the Achuar in favor of ecotourismC.the achuar people have benefited a lot by collecting money from ecotouristsD.the owners of Kapawi encourage tourists to appreciate the Achuar cultureDNowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods ( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a non - specific but stable change. For many people, the high-tech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farmingtraditions, theidea seems against nature.In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotech no logy, accord ing to the Departme nt of Agriculture. More tha n 65 millio n acres of gen etically modified crops will be pla nted in the US this year. The gen etic genie is out of the bottle.However, like any new product en teri ng the food cha in, GM foods must be subjected to careful test in g. In wealthy coun tries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large nu mber of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes bey ond the n eeds. In developing countries desperate to feed fast-growing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urge nt: do the ben efits of biotech outweigh the risks?The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the world's populati on reached 6 billi on. The UN states that n early 800 milli on people around the world are un healthy. About 400 milli on wome n of childbeari ng age don' t have eno ugh iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitam in A deficie ncy, a lead ing cause of bli ndn ess.How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are worki ng on other kinds of nu triti on ally improved crops. Biotech can alsoimprove farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attributable todrought, poor soil and crop viruses.33.The passage mainly talks about _______ .A. the world's food problemB. the development in biotechC. the genetically modified foodsD. the way to solve food shortages34.The underlined sentence “The genetic genie is out of the bottle.”in Paragraph 2probably means that .A. GM foods are available everywhereB.the technology in producing GM foods is advancedC.genetic technology may have uncontrollable powersD.genetic technology has come out of laboratories into markets35.What's the writer's attitude towards GM foods?A. Enthusiastic.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Unbelievable. 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。
