I was late for an appointment (预约) in a nearby city that I know only by GPS. And now my phone has died. The usual exits (出口) were closed. I didn't know how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I might not make it there.I stopped at a KFC in a poor part of town and walked up to a mother and her teen daughter.“I'm sorry, but is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call the place and let them know I'm lost?” She handed me her phone and then told me I was lucky she had he r phone, for it was getting ready to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the phone bill.The young girl and the mother didn't pay me much attention when I made a call. The appointment told me how to get there by another road.Before I left. suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don't usually have cash (现金) and pulled out all I had, a $20 bill.

The old man gave East Mountain to Qing Shan and West Mountain to Hong Shan.There were many trees in West Mountain. Hong Shan worked hard all day to cut down trees for firewood. Five years later, there were not many trees in the mountain, so he started to plant crops (庄稼). Unluckily, a heavy rain washed away all the crops. He had nothing to eat and had to go to his brother in East Mountain.There were only a few trees in East Mountain at first, but Qing Shan had a plan. He first cut down the trees with poor quality and then planted some trees. He planted crops and fed cows and horses, too. Five years later, there were many trees, crops, cows, sheep and horses in the mountain.The heavy rain couldn't wash away the crops because of the trees in the mountain.Later people praised Qing Shan, saying, “As long as the green mountain are there, there is no need to worry about firewood.”Choose the best choice from A、B or C according to the passage.56.

You probably use them to drink lots of things, such as cola or milk tea ___61___ They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 minutes and remain on the earth for over 100 years since they can't be broken down (分解) easily.But how do plastic straws get into the ocean? Through human mistakes, they are often thrown everywhere. The waste management in some areas is so poor. All gutters (排水沟) lead to our ocean ___62___ Once a turtle was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into its nose. How terrible!___63___ That is enough to circle nearly two-and-a-half times around our planet! If we didn't act now, there would be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.Luckily, more and more people around the world have realized this problem. They begin to consider if they really need to use plastic straws when drinking drinks.So what can we do to reduce (减少) plastic pollution? ___64___ For example, next time you go to a restaurant, make sure you order your drink without a straw. What if people need to use a straw? There are reusable straws that can be cleaned and reused instead.Starbucks (星巴克) has started to offer straw less lids (盖子) and paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1,000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven cars have gotten a traffic ticket (罚单), but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.These cars are now still in the testing stages (阶段). But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.The cars are so special that they can take the place of drivers during certain situations. They are able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there is danger.Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线信号) , cameras and GPS, creating a safe self-driven car might be possible. The cause of deadly (致死的) road accidents is usually careless drivers or bad conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people don’t like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake does not believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.Complete the chart according to the passage with only one word for each blank.第三部分词句运用Ⅴ.

Education.BIs there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly.Musicians hear better says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra(管弦乐队), they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore(忽视)the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise.Gotfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风)patients.Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally However, they can till sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use thoseparts of the brain again.So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.24.

The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.Suddenly, I hear it: the howl(嚎叫)of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy —a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park. As a result, the number of elk (麋鹿)in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn'thave to worry about wolves. This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money. Tourists visit the area, stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone. And happily, it is playing a good guy in this story.28. According to the passage, one of a wolf tracker’s jobs is to________.A. catch wolves in the parkB. feed wolves in the wildC. stop wolves from killing elkD. collect information about wolves29. Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s?A. The wolves were always howling at night.B. The elk in the park were in danger of dying out.C. The wolves had done great harm to the environment.D. The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around.30. Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the _______ that wolves have brought to Yellowstone.A. risksB. troublesC. changesD. competitions31. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. Wolves are important to Yellowstone.B. Yellowstone has been home to wolves.C. The wolf and the elk live in peace now.D. The number of wolves is growing fast.DWhenever I’m invited to somebody’s house for the first time, I’ll take a close look at their bookshelves. What they keep on their shelves, in my eyes, is a reflection(反映) of their personal tastes and interests. The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life.My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life, telling a chronological tale. First upcome my favorite childhood reads, like Watership Down and His Dark Materials. The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school — Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid’s Tale and A Clockwork Orange. Finally, we come out of full-time education and enter the real world, and this part is a reflection of my professional(职业的) life, from the first exciting days of work experience to the present.If you pointed to any book on my shelves, I could name the year I got it, where I was working, and probably where I was living at the time.__▲ It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes, dreams and interests. And a big part of that story is how we arrange(排列) our books, and get on with them. It’s such a personal thing, different from each other. Some want to be with their books in every room, others have them on shelves, behind glass or simply lining their floors. Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books.It’s often said that what we read says something about who we are. The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves. From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well-organized shelves, whether we notice it or not, our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned.32.

The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity.February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play; …While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating(欣赏) other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this: Dear Julie,I’ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日). We talk about it every year.Thank you. We miss you.Love,GinaI was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied “I don’t think I’ve ever received sucha touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”On December 31, I wrote my last card — to Jake, my husband, and our two kids.
