Regardless of the warning of firemen, the residents wouldn’t move out because they were poor and had nowhere to go.One night, the building was on fire. The residents began to run for their lives. When half of the population had got themselves out, the wooden staircases broke down. The remaining residents rushed to the roof of the third floor, which had not been touched by the flames yet, waiting for the firemen to rescue them. Firemen did arrive in a short while. But the fire engines and ladders could not reach the building as the alley was too narrow to allow the passage. The situation was critical, since the fire might burn the roof at any moment. The firemen placed a few cushions on the floor, and got some quilts from the nearby houses to add to the pile. Then they asked the people on the burning building to jump on the pile after they had shown how. A man jumped down, bottom touching the pile, uninjured. Another person jumped down, uninjured... They jumped one after another, all safe.Finally, Singermary became the only remaining one on the roof, hesitating while the fire was swallowing the roof soon. People shouted: “Jump, jump!” Singermary jumped, but she jumped head down with open arms. People were amazed and greatly shocked. How could she do such a jump? It was a suicide gesture! Fortunately, the cushions were very thick. She did not die, but injured seriously, saying with what strength she got: “Please take me to hospital!” She was pregnant, and she had jumped head down in order to keep the child safe. That was mother’s love! People were deeply moved.21. Why couldn’t the firemen put out the fire?A. The cushions blocked the way.B. The fire engines were too old.C. The building was made of wood.D. The alley was not wide enough.22. Why did Singermary jump in a different way?A. To reduce the danger.B. To cover her fright.C. To protect her child.D. To shock her neighbours.23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Harmony of NeighbourhoodB. Mother’s LoveC. Heroic FiremenD. An Urgent RescueBAs the G20 Leaders Summit(峰会)kicked off on Sept 4, Hangzhou, the host city, took measures to promote its reputation for entrepreneurship(企业), as well as its many beauty sports, to those overseas people.Although many may have been surprised when Hangzhou was chosen to host the summit over bigger cities such as Beijing or Shanghai, economic statistics suggest that it’s well deserving of the honor.When the national economy grew at 6.7 percent in the first half of this year, the lowest in more than two decades, Hangzhou steamed ahead with a huge 10.8 percent growth, becoming one of the only two cities in China, alongside Chongqing, with a double-digit growth rate.Walking along the streets of Hangzhou, through centuries-old paths and along the Broadway—like Yan’an Avenue, a t ourist can pick up whatever he or she wants with just a smartphone, via Alipay or WeChat Pay---no cash or credit cards needed.And starting this month, one can also rent public bikes simply by scanning the QR code(二维码)with a smartphone.Meanwhile, a short video showing the beauty of Zhejiang Province and its capital, Hangzhou, was being aired on CNBC channels during prime time until Sept 12.The promotional video, created by CNBC’s Catalyst Content Studio, highlighted some of Hangzhou’s most charming attrac tions.From eye-pleasing beauty spots like the Qiantang River and West Lake to the towering headquarters of leading Internet corporations, the promo(宣传片)showed how the city built its culture on a long history of commerce and developed into a vast modern center of technology, imports and exports.24. According to the passage, _________ and Hangzhou became the only two cities in China with a two-digit growth rate in the first half of this year.A. BeijingB. ChongqingC. ShanghaiD. Tianjin25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Visitors can’t use cash or credit cards to buy thingsB. Only by scanning the QR code with mobile phones can people rent public bikesC. A short video about Hangzhou would be broadcast on CNBC channel on Sept 12.D. Visitors can buy whatever they want through WeChat Pay on mobile phones26.

This passage is most probably taken from __________-.A. a science textbookB. a tourist mapC. a city guideD. a news reportCNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.28. The passage is mainly about__________. .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill29. In November, the drug tested on people can___________. .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicals that fix memories in the brainD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories30. We can infer from the passage that___________. .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop people's bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America31. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.DA California wind farm will become the first in the U. S. to avoid charges if a limited number of eagles are injured or die when they run into the huge turning blades(桨叶), the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday.The Shiloh IV Wind Project LLC, 60 miles east of San Francisco, will receive a special permit allowing up to five golden eagles to be accidentally killed over five years. Previously, such eagle deaths could potentially draw criminal charges and discourage private investment in wind farms.Agency Director Daniel Ashe said the permit encourages development of renewable energy while requiring the wind company to take steps to protect eagles from turbines(涡轮机)and power lines. The move will help California reach its goal of producing one-third of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, he said.Michael Hutchins of the American Bird Conservancy said he believes the five-year permit for the California wind farm is reasonable, but he said the rapid expansion of wind energy has gotten ahead of the science and regulation to protect all types of birds. Too often, he said, wind farms are built in migratory patterns or near wetlands.Birds on the hunt can become d izzy by what’s on the ground and fly into the blades, Hutchins said.“Is it really green energy if it’s going to kill hundreds of thousands of birds or bats each year?” he said. “The whole system needs a much harder look.”Shiloh IV Wind Project is a 102-megawatt wind farm operating since 2012 and made up of 50 turbines in Solano County.Shiloh is the first to obtain a permit. Marie Strassburger, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s regional migratory bird chief, said that obtaining one requires a lengthy process, and because this is the first of its kind, officials have carefully made conversation plans with the wind company.“It’s not a quick, efficient process by any means,” Strassburger said.Federal wildlife officials in California, Nevada and Southern Oregon are working on two more applications for five-year eagle permits and one for 30 years, said Scott Flaherty of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Sacramento. Eagles are not listed as endangered, but they are protected under a federal act.32. Shiloh IV will be breaking the law if ___________.A. its turbines injure any birds in CaliforniaB. it withdraws its private investment in wind farmsC. its equipment kills over five golden eagles in five yearsD. it builds wind farm in migratory patterns or near wetlands33. Why is California giving Shiloh IV the permit?A. To encourage green energyB. To protect big turning bladesC. To prevent criminal activitiesD. To support research on eagles34. What was Hutchins’s attitude to wind farm’s rapid deve lopment?A. TolerantB. UncaringC. SurprisedD. Critical35. When drafting the five-year permit, officials ________.A. showed great cautionB. reached an agreement quicklyC. wanted to list eagles as endangeredD. had already singed two similar permits第二节七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余3D printing is becoming more and more popular. 36 People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily using 3D printers.37 Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the microwave. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printe r. You can also change the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. 38 Using 3D printer to create your meals would also save the environment because there would be less need for traditional growing and transporting processes.39 It could take away many jobs, including those for growing and transporting food. Imagine a world where there is no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes and textures(外观) can be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Additionally, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food. 40What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.A.But can you imagine printing food?B.Not all 3D printers use the same technology.C.3D printing technology will change the way we live in the future.D.This means it would be very quick and easy to create tasty meals.E.Is it really possible to get the nutrition we need from food-based inks?F.We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments and car models.G.However, some people think that a future of 3D-printed food would be a disaster. 第三部分：完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
