Work is a part of living—my grandparents understood that.They lived and worked on a farm
that has been in my family for 150 years.They raised chickens for eggs,pigs and cattle for
meat.Cows were kept for milk and the cream,from which Grandma made butter and cheese.What
little yard they had became a garden.
The Depression（大萧条时期）,therefore,didn’t make much change in their lives.But it did
bring a lot of men out of work,drifting from job to job,to the farm.The first to show up at the door
of the kitchen was a man in rags.He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for
a while.Grandpa stood watching him a bit,then said, “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence
behind the barn（谷仓）.I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence.You have
just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”
Grandma said a surprising thing happened.The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to
the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie.During lunch,the
stranger didn’t say much,but when he left, his shoulders had straightened.“Nothing ruins a man
like losing his self-respect,”Grandpa later told me.
Soon after,another man showed up asking for a meal.This one was dressed in a suit and
carried a small old suitcase.Grandpa came out when he heard voices.He looked at the man and
then offered a handshake.“There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve
been meaning to get it moved.It’d sure be a help to me. And we’d be pleased to have you stay for
lunch.”The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.
Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during
those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.
24．When he was asked to move a stack of firewood,the first man who asked for a meal got a shine
in his eyes for he was glad that .
A．he had found a good job

C．he would no longer suffer from the Depression

A．he didn’t want them to have a meal free of charge
B．he had been needing to get it moved
C．he wanted to help them in his own way
D．he wanted to show them his kindness and respect
26．The writer’s grandfather was all of the following but .
A．kind B．thoughtful
C．wealthy D．sympathetic
27．The best title for the story would be .
A．The Depression B．The Pleasure of Helping Others

The world’s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might
expect, but inside Biosphere (生物圈) 2, the experimental scientific research facility in the desert
outside Tucson, Arizona. A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a
surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by
tropical forests this century.
The study adds to a growing number of findings that are giving forest scientists something
that’s been in short supply lately : hope. Plants may have unexpected resources that could help
them survive — and perhaps even prosper — in a hotter, more carbon-rich future. And while
tropical forests still face both human and natural threats, some researchers believe terrible reports
of their approaching decline due to climate change may have been overstated.
“Biology is clever, ”says Scott Saleska, an ecologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson
and co-leader of the Biosphere 2 study. “It’s a lot smarter than our models yet represent.”
The last few years have seen a flood of alarming reports about forests and climate change’s
effects on them. Scientists have announced that the Amazon forest is no longer a reliable carbon
sink; the Amazon rainforest may be nearing a tipping point; tropical forest s globally are
already close to the hottest temperatures they can tolerate and climate change is killing off old
trees.
One thing is certainly true: Our fossil fuel emissions are creating a climate that humans have
never seen and trees haven’t experienced in a very long time.“We’re pushing tropical forests into
temperatures they’ve never seen since the Cretaceous — since there were dinosaurs,” says Abigail
Swann, an ecologist and climate scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
28．Where is the hottest rainforest located according to the article?
A．In the Amazon tropical forest. B．In a research facility in Arizona.
C．In the rainforest in Brazil. D．At the University of Arizona.
29．What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A．Forest scientists still lack numbers of findings about rainforest.
B．Plants may not survive in hot and carbon rich future than expected.
C．Plants may survive in hotter and more carbon-rich environment.
D．People may overstate the climate change in the future.
30．How will the fossil fuel emissions change the climate?
A．We have never seen the climate change due to greenhouse.
B．The fossil fuel emissions may destroy the whole ecosystem.
C．The temperatures may reach as high as those in dinosaur period.
D．The fossil fuel emissions may create a climate plants can’t bear.
31．What may be the best title of the article?
A．The world’s hottest rainforest in the wild
B．Plants may die of fossil fuel emissions due to mankind
C．The Amazon forest is declining quickly in the future
D．Plants may stand hotter temperature than expected

Do you want to look fashionable? Is looking fashionable more important than being
comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging by the things they wear. But fashion is not
everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain
body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition,
many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that create blisters(水泡),
tight body shapers that limit blood flow, and sticky false eyelashes(假睫毛). Men and women
alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons and
blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. Some people spend several hours a day in front of a
mirror. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how they look
like?
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she
would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People
should prioritize(优先考虑)being healthy and positive. What people wear does not indicate
anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should
call your friends and do something together. Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not
eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle
and truly grow as a person.
32．Why does the author include questions in the text?
A．To enrich the content.
B．To introduce a new topic.
C．To reflect different attitudes.
D．To make readers think and give their opinions.
33．Which statement best represents the author’s viewpoint?
A．Fashion can make people do some unhealthy things.
B．Fashion increases famous people’s self-respect.
C．When you look good, you feel good.
D．People need to diet to lose weight.
34．Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend?
A．Shopping for fashionable clothes.
B．Starting a new diet with a friend.
C．Going skating with friends.
D．Changing the hairstyle every week.
35．The author’s main purpose in writing the text is to .
A．show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting
B．persuade readers to value health more than fashion
C．tell readers ways to become fashionable
D．inform readers of the latest fashion trends

选项.
Whether you use a GPS device（设备） in your car or Google Maps on your smartphone,
few of us travel anymore without digital help. 36． For one thing, GPS isn’t as accurate as you
might think. What’s more, science is beginning to discover that people who rely only on
navigational technologies may have a poor sense of place during travel.
37． They soon become outdated as cities change, requiring users to continually purchase
updated versions. They’re also easily damaged from exposure to water, poor weather conditions
and other physical forces.
However, paper maps still offer a few advantages that technologies can’t. For example,
studying a map allows you to get a full view of where you’re going, including the roads, forests,
towns, historic sites, rivers and mountains you’ll come across along the way. Many older maps are
wonderful, offering a lovely feast for the eyes. 38．
Research by Toru Ishikawa and colleagues at the University of Tokyo found that GPS users
spent 30％ more time looking at their device than those who used a paper map. 39． Instead they
tended to stare at their screens and follow directions, never gaining a full view of where they were
going.
Therefore, go ahead and use your GPS, but also carry a paper map as a handy backup.
40． Also it could even be a life-saver!
A．It will improve your travel experiences.
B．But don’t hurry to fold up your paper maps.
C．They also had a poorer recollection of surrounding scenery.
D．Compared with digital maps, paper maps do have disadvantages.
E.What’s more, paper maps tend to focus on smaller geographic areas.
F.They can also take you back in time to have a glimpse（瞥） of history.
G.In other words, they didn’t see or experience much during their travels.

第二节（满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lon was chasing his runaway horse when a goose went under his feet. And he fell into a
thornbush (荆棘丛). “Why do I have such bad luck?”
Things never seemed to go Lon’s way. If there was a bee about, he was stung.
And if his horse ran away, it would run straight through a thornbush. Still, even bad luck
might turn good if he could catch that goose for dinner.
He scanned the bushes, and found a nest with an egg. Just an egg, but even one egg might
make a small meal.
He picked it up, but dropped it in surprise. The egg was unusually heavy, and it gleamed (发
光) in the sunlight. It was made of gold!
Lon sighed. He’d nearly stepped on a goose that lays golden eggs. If he had captured the
goose, he would have had golden egg after golden egg.
Then a thought exploded in his mind.
Perhaps he could take the egg and get it to hatch, and the new goose would lay golden eggs
just as its mother did.
Lon smiled. His luck seemed to be changing.
Once home, Lon placed the egg into a bed of cotton next to the hearth. He turned it every
hour for several days.
One morning, he heard a faint chk-chk-chk. A small golden beak poked its way through the
shell.
It was an ugly little thing, but Lon didn’t care. All that mattered was the golden eggs it would
soon lay.
The gosling demanded food. Lon happily kept its beak filled. He named the bird Goly and
became fond of it, even though it was soon better fed than he was. Lon talked to his goose and
taught it to play checkers (国际跳棋).
Time passed as Lon waited for the first golden egg. Goldy had grown quite fat, but there were
no eggs. Lon finally took the goose to a farmer to see what the problem was.
The farmer took a closer look and laughed. “You’ll never get eggs from this goose. It’s a boy
goose!
I might as well roast you for dinner,” Lon said. “At least then I’ll get a meal for all my
work!”
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Alarmed，Goldy popped out of Lon’s arm and escaped into the forest.
