hunger and homelessness.Also，he’s only four years old.
Our superhero’s origin story started from the day when TJ Pe rine，his father，took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries，a local shelter that provides housing，food and other services for the homeless.As they drove by the building，they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner.That day，Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan，“Don’t forget to show love!”

Austin’s passion has become his family’s calling.After raising money through a GoFundMe page，Audrey，TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation，dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president，and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time.They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.

22．（8分）In 2011, British wildlife photographer David Slater traveled to the Tangkoko Nature Reserve on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. After following about 25 endangered black monkeys in the forest, Slater set up his camera. The monkeys went up to it, and were attracted by it immediately. Finally, they began playing with the camera and took photos of themselves. One monkey took many photos, some of which appeared with a July 2011 Daily Mail article about Slater playing with the monkeys. One of the photos became the cover of a book of Slater’s work. Wildlife Personalities, which was published in 2014 by Blurb, Inc., in San Francisco. Slater is considered as the copyright (版权) owner of the photos.
In September 2015, however, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) considered the monkey it calls Naruto as the copyright owner of the photos. Through his “friends” at PETA, Naruto was suing (控诉) the photographer and the publishing company Blurb for copyright: “The photos resulted from the purposeful actions of Naruto and were not helped by Slater, resulting in works of authorship… by Naruto.”
“If a human had taken a photo with Slater’s camera, that person would own the copyright to the photo,” says Jeff Kerr o£ PETA．“Naruto should be treated no differently.”
The lawyer for Slater and Blurb, Andrew Dhuey, required that the case be dismissed (被驳回) in November 2015. Dhuey mentioned a 2004 case in which the court had to decide whether whales could sue the US Navy for the danger they’d r eceived from machines used by the Navy. The court ruled that they could not.
In January, the court ruled in favor of dismissing the case. PETA lawyer Jeff Kerr objected, “We believe it has been stated clearly in the Copyright Act. The Act allows courts to fill in decisions like this one.”
1、What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．To tell a story to support the topic. B．To give the background information.
C．To express the author’s opinion. D．To attract readers’ attention.
2、Why did PETA challenge the copyright of the photos?
A．The camera was not Slater’s. B．Slater did harm to Naruto.
C．The photos were taken by Naruto. D．Slater just helped a little.
3、What did Dhuey do to help Slater and Blurb?
A．He made a public speech. B．He had a talk with PETA．
C．He turned to the US Navy. D．He gave an example.
4、How did the court rule on the copyright of the photos?
A．Naruto can’t own it.
B．Naruto and Slater should share it.
C．Slater can’t use the photos anymore.
D．Slater should pay some money to PETA．
23．（8分）Peggy Whitson's job demands a daily two-hour workout in a gym where weight has no meaning and the view changes at 17,000 miles an hour.
Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record last November when she began her third long-term stay at the International Space Station. After returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut felt matter-of-fact about the age milestone(里程碑).
“It wasn’t a record I was seeking out,” Whitson said. “I was 42 and 48 for my fi rst two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s. I don’t think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77), but we’ve ha d male astronauts in their 60s before, so it’s just a matter of time before women started flying in space at this age.”
On Earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water skiing. She shared what it's like to live in micro-gravit y: “It’s like you’re in a swimming pool, but you don’t have to worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I’m going to float to the other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for your brain t o grasp, but it’s amazing how fast you adapt.
It’s a big shock for the body to come back to Earth — everything is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used being back in gravity again. Back pain was really the most dramatic for me this time. For me, coming home is way harder th an going up into space.”
1、What does the underlined word probably mean in the passage?
A．amazing
B．natural
C．enthusiastic
D．unbelievable
2、How many days did Peggy Whiston spend in space for her third stay in the International Space Station?
A．About 300 days.
B．About 708 days.
C．About 107 days.
D．About 57 days.
3、According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A．Peggy Whiston is the oldest person to fly in space, breaking the record.
B．There had been female astronauts in their 60s before.
C．Peggy Whiston likes swimming most to stay fit on earth.
D．Peggy Whiston had been in space in 2002 and 2008.
4、Which of the following will Peggy Whiston probably say?
A．Y ou can still be successful and do physical things when you get older.
B．I spent quite a lot of time getting used to the life in space.
C．The moment we reached the earth, we felt so relaxed.
D．I feel lucky that I am physically all right after the whole journey.
24．（8分）There is an English saying : “ Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found facts that laughter really can improve people’s health.[
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins in the brain. These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain.
There is also some fact to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group of students served as the control group ---- in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watch the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.
They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
1、It can be learnt from the passage that laughter can_______.
A．make people feel younger
B．change people’s habits
C．improve peoples health
D．make people love their lives
2、Smiling can produce____.
A．more effects than laughter
B．the same effects as laughter
C．less effects on the human body
D．no effects on the human body
3、The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A．there are several ways of studying the benefits of laughter
B．laughter and physical exercise have the same effects on human body
C．the doctors should learn how to make people laugh
D．tests show that laughter can produce beneficial effects on human body
25．（10分）Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if pr oper care isn’t given immediately.
Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above safe limits. This causes the body’s necessary functions to stop working.
It’s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as pro per action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person’s body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.
Call for help
Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroked person has fainted (昏迷). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you’re in a public place. If there’s no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn’t much nearby.
Get the person to a cooler area
If there’s a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioning and water is perfect. If a building isn’t available, bring the person to a well s haded area.
Get the water flowing
If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there’s a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.
If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shi rt and put it on the person’s body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.
Fan the person
Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.
1、When does a person get sunstrok?
A．When the body doesn’t function.
B．When proper care is given immediately.
C．When someone is exposed to the sun too long.
D．When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.
2、What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．The first aid for sunstroke.
B．The cause of sunstroke.
C．The chief symptoms of sunstroke.
D．The essential preventions of sunstroke.
3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A．To call for assistance from others.
B．To leave the sunstroked person in the shade.
C．To apply a wet towel to the person’s face.
D．To help the person take some medicine.
4、The text probably comes from .
A．a guide book B．a book review
C．a medical magazine D．an official document

24、Guide dogs enjoy their work very much, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is no room for typical dog fun during the work day. Games, treats and praise distract the dog from helping its handler navigate (指引方向) the course. Even when the handler doesn’t need assistance, a guide dog on the job is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to handler’s workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance(干扰).
When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog spreads its concentration, which wea kens the handler’s ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination（倾向）to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dog’s undivided attention.
When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet.
Guide dogs make the difference between work and play based on their lead harness（牵狗用的皮带）：When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused---- when it comes off, it’s play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation.
Working as a guide dog requires good physical and mental shape, so guide dogs typically retire just before they enter old age. Retirement is usually at age 8 or 10; but some work for a little longer, and some guide dogs retire earlier if they’re having trouble with the work.
4、What do you think is the typical job of a guide dog?
A．Help the policemen to search for the murderer.
B．Help the blind or weak-sighted people get around .
C．Help the doctor to save the injured people.
D．Help the owner to watch their house.
5、What does the writer want to tell the readers through the passage?
A．Guide dogs are so helpful that we should make friends with them.
B．Guide dogs are different from other dogs and they have some special talents.
C．Guide dogs’ life style and job situation.
D．Guide dogs’ trained way by their handlers.
6、What does the underlined word “distract” mean in the passage?
A．to stop the dog paying attention to what he is doing
B．to make the dog think very carefully about what he is doing
C．to interrupt the dog so that he cannot do the work well
D．to stop the dog from doing something
7、What should you do when meeting with a guide dog at its job?
A．Praise it. B．Feed it.
C．Play with it. D．Leave it alone.
