AIt was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer a ppeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying onthe ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.21. Why did the author follow her son?A. Because there might be danger.B. Because her son was doing a good deed.C. Because she intended to help.D. Because she was curious.22. Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?A. Rain was in great need.B. Billy carried water with his small hands.C. There were few trees in the woods.D. Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.23. Which is the correct order of the development of the story?① The author was moved to tears.② Billy fed the water to the baby deer.③ Billy walked towards the large deer.④ It began to rain.⑤ The author fo llowed Billy into the woods.A. ③②⑤①④ B ⑤③②①④ C. ④①③②⑤ D. ⑤②①③④24. At the end of the story, the author might experience different feelings Except that _____A. Billy was a pride.B. God was touched by Billy's activity.C. the rain should have dropped earlier.D. it was worthwhile to have given birth to Billy.B．It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in th e sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the sun’s necessary life-giving rays.And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.25. The first paragraph tells us that _____.A.all living things in nature depend on each otherB.everything in nature can’t exist without the help of manC.man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long timeD.no living thing can live naturally26 In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _____.A.all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changedfor one anotherB.it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balanceof natureC.there are some living things which can exist by themselves without changeD.we can’t change one form of life without destr oying the balance of nature27 The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益)_____.A.man is always anxious to control his activities within limitsB.man is always too eager in planning for distant futureC.man often fails to think about their future results of his actionD.man often feels that he will have to give up in despair28 Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.B.Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his presentaction.C.Oxygen comes from forests.D.The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.C.Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe it is about 47 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to ru n the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.29．When was the passage written?A. In about A.D. 2060B. In about 1960C. In about 2014D. In about 201330 According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?A. Many other animals.B. Many tourists.C. Manyplants. D. A sea.31 The passage tells us that in 2060, ________ on the earth than now.A.the crops are getting betterB. there are more pestsC. there are fewer peopleD. there is less waterDIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iP od 5th generation.32. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smart phone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.34. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.35. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.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。
