文章主要说明了小女孩Aniza Khan 在过去的10年里一直致力于拯救动物，到目前为止，她已经拯救了1500多只动物。

她呼吁人们收养并保护这些动物。

13. Aniza Khan, a young girl from Lahore has devoted her life to rescue animals for the past 10 years. Having about 35 cats and 16 dogs at home,Khan has rescued 1,500 plus animals so far. Taking inspiration from her parents, Khan has been rescuing animals since childhood.
Currently working completely in welfare, Khan has been financing her project by herself along with family and friends. She has registered a web page to call for donations, which helps her with some of her funds.
Talking about her experience in rescue, she stated, “Each animal has their own lifestyle, making each one of them different with individual needs.We cannot keep all animals together. We have to keep them separately. It not only is good for their environment but also helps in case of any viral spread of disease.”
Due to the lack of space in her home, Khan has bought land to set up her own animal shelter. Along with rescuing, Khan has been feeding stray (无主的) cats and dogs.
Animal rescuing culture is not found in the country, where dog killing campaigns are run by the government. Khan mentioned her struggles:“Most of the days I wake up to another cat being thrown on my gate. I have both cats and dogs and it is always hard to protect the new addition.People do not contact and leave them by my doorstep.”
Khan promotes the concept of “Adopt don’t Shop”. She says, “If you are looking for love, you will find it from a stray cat with broken legs. Y ou do not need to have an expensive species to show or get love.”
“We need to understand that animals are living creatures just like us humans, having needs and a heart just like us. We need to take care of them because they can’t voice their own needs,” she says.1. What does Khan do to keep the rescued animals healthy?
A ．Keep them in single shelters.
B ．Satisfy their curiosity.
C．Maintain a balanced diet.D．Feed them together.
2. What does paragraph 5 show?
A．The reasons for feeding animals.B．The increase of rescued animals.
C．The tendency of protecting animals.D．The facts of animals being treated badly.
3. What does Khan call for people to do with strays?
A．Take them into their own family.B．Keep these strays healthy.
C．Raise expensive species of them.D．Treat their leg injuries.
4. What do Khan’s words in the last paragraph mean?
A．Voicing a common concern of the whole society.
B．Raising the awareness of protecting endangered animals.
C．Spreading the message of coexistence and mercy to animals.
D．Promoting better understanding between humans and animals.
14. Some of the most famous scientific discoveries happened by accident. From the microwave oven to penicillin, scientists trying to solve a problem have sometimes found unexpected things. This is exactly how we created phosphorene nanoribbons (磷烯纳米带) — a material made from one of the universe’s basic building blocks, which has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of technologies.
We'd been trying to separate layers of phosphorus crystals (晶体) into two-dimensional sheets. Instead, our technique created tiny ribbons one single atom thick and only 100 or so atoms across, but up to 100,000 atoms long. We spent three years improving the production process, before announcing our findings. The two-dimensional ribbons have a number of remarkable properties (属性). Their unbelievable width allows their properties, such as whether and how they conduct electricity, to be controllable. They are also very flexible, which means that they can follow any surfaces they’re put on perfectly, and can even be twisted.
More than 100 scientific papers predicted the transformative potential of these ribbons, should it be possible to create them, across a range of technologies — some as many as five years before the publishing of our discovery in Nature. Perhaps the most important of these is in the area of battery technology. The structure of phosphorene nanoribbons means that the charged ions (带电离子) that power batteries could soon move up to 1000 times faster than they currently possible do. This would mean a significant decrease in charging time, alongside an increase in capacity of approximately 50%. Such performance gains would provide massive boosts to the electric car and aircraft industries, and allow us to use renewable energy more readily, even on grey, calm days.
1. What does “we” in the text refer to?
A．Scientists.B．Doctors.
C．Publishers.D．Technicians.
2. What can we know about phosphorene nanoribbons in Paragraph 2?
A．Its shape.B．Its origin.
C．Its structure.D．Its characteristic.
3. What would reduce charging time according to the scientific papers?
A．The cleaner source of energy.
B．The bigger batteries of tiny ribbons.
C．The increasing capacity of batteries.
D．The faster moving speed of charged ions.
4. What does the text mainly introduce to us?
A．The amazing development of battery technology.
B．Significant changes brought by wonderful discoveries.
C．A “Wonder material” created accidentally by scientists.
D．Unexpected inventions made in human’s history.

文章讲述了Sunaina回忆自己第一天到新学校的感受，由于人生地不熟，Sunaina感到非常糟糕。

但是随着时间的推移，一切都好了起来，Sunaina也由此逐渐找回了自己的勇气和自信。

15. Sunaian’s family left India and moved to the UK when she was 13. She had to start a new school...
I remember it really well. My parents drove me to the school and said goodbye to me. I took a deep breath and walked into the school.
I didn’t know what to feel. I was excited and scared and a bit nervous, all at the same time. There were lots of other kids around. They were already in groups of friends, but none of them said hello or anything. It was a strange feeling for me, like I didn’t really belong there. I wanted to be
somewhere else, but that wasn’t possible.
The first thing I had to do was register, so I went to a room in the school that had a sign saying “Administration”. Suddenly, I felt like I was some kind of criminal. They started asking me all kinds of questions. Then I went off to my first class.
My first class. Wow, that was horrible. Perhaps it was because my hair or clothes were different, but everyone just looked at me in such a strange way. And just like when I arrived, no one came to talk to me. Incredibly, that’s never happened: no one has even taken the time to get to know me or like me. I have friends because I made the first move to meet people.
Maybe the worst class that day, though, was Science. The teacher wasn’t too bad. She introduced me to the class and showed me where to sit. But the other students? Well, they looked at me like I was a guinea pig or something they were going to use for an experiment. I hated every minute.
Then there was a break and I went to sit somewhere alone, missing my mum and dad. But I thought they’d want me to keep trying, so I tried to be more positive in the next class. Not so good, though. Everyone talked to other students, but I sat by myself. At the end of the day, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
But, as time passed, things have got better. Now I’m doing fine and I get OK grades. I’ve learned lots of things -but not what the teachers teach. I’ve learned that I’m strong and brave. I’ve learned that I will succeed even if some things aren’t the way I want them to be.
1. From the passage, we can learn that________.
A．Sunaina was well received upon the arrival at school
B．Sunaina was treated as a criminal in the register department.
C．Nobody wanted to waste time getting to know Sunaina at first.
D．Other students’ hair and clothes were similar to Sunaina in her class.
2. What made Sunaina think Science the worst class that day?
A．The Science teacher’s quality and qualification.
B．The way the other students looked at Sunaina.
C．The way the teacher introduced Sunaina to the class.
D．The other students’ thinking of using Sunaina for an experiment.
3. Which of the following is suitable to describe Sunaina?
A．Weak and scary.B．Tough and courageous.
C．Sensitive and shy.D．Generous and outgoing.

文章讲述了沃伦使用回收木材为公交车站配备长椅，他的行动带动了很多人参与其中，沃伦成立了工作室，并称他成立工作室的目的是让人们的生活稍微好一点。

16. James Warren rides the public bus a lot in his hometown of Denver. Then in January, Warren spotted a woman waiting for a bus. There was no seating at the stop—and no sidewalk—so she sat in the dirt. So he decided to build a bench.
“I just took some scrap wood and went to town,” Warren said. He then realized that one bench was far from enough. There are more than 9,000 bus stops in the Denver metro area, many of them without seating or shelter. Warren carves “Be kind” on each one—each made from scrap wood he finds in construction waste containers.
“I met some ladies the other day who were talking about how they used the benches every day,” Warren added. “It fills me up. It’s air in my tires.”
Warren said many people have hopped on his bench—making bandwagon, which has motivated him to build more. “I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me on Twitter,” he said. “Some people have wanted to come and help me.” Others saw Warren’s work in the local news and decided to take out their tools, too. People also started donating supplies. “That puts me over the moon,” Warren said.
Nica Cave, 26, a Denver mobility advocate, said, “The lack of infrastructure, shelter and seating at transit stops marginalizes(边缘化) those who rely on public transit. People like Warren are really encouraging me to see how people are willing to use their own time and resources to provide these much-needed services.” Cave added that she hopes the local government will see Warren’s benches and get involved.
That is precisely Warren’s goal. Warren—who is planning to organize a bench-building workshop—said his hope is that his benches make a difference in his community and even beyond. “My goal is to make people’s lives just a little bit better.” Warren said.
1. What do we know about Warren’s benches?
A．They are carved with his name.B．They can be found at any bus stop.
C．They are specially designed for women.D．They are made of recycled materials.
2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．It is the source of my effort.B．My tires are almost flat.
C．I need to fill air into my tires.D．Praise is the best reward for me.
3. What made Warren feel happy?
A．The good sales of the benches.B．The assistance from other people.
C．The comments on Twitter.D．The awards from the local government.
4. What is Warren’s true purpose of organizing the workshop?
A．To earn more money to live a better life.
B．To set up his own bench-building workshop.
C．To encourage people to use more public transit.
D．To make people live a little bit better.
七、阅读理解
文章大意：本文为一篇说明文。

人类长期以来一直试图征服水，但是《水总是赢》一书的作者、环境记者埃里卡·吉斯认为：了解如何与水合作，而不是与水对抗，将有助于人类度过这个因气候变化而恶化的干旱和洪水时代。

17. Humans have long tried to conquer water. We’ve straightened once-winding rivers for shipping purposes. We’ve constructed levees (防洪堤)
along rivers and lakes to protect people from flooding—We’ve erected entire cities on drained and filled-in wetlands. We’ve built dams on rivers to store water for later use. 1 But it’s not, argues environmental journalist Erica Gies,author of Water Always Wins.
Levees, which narrow channels causing water to flow higher and faster, nearly always break. Cities on former wetlands flood regularly—often disastrously. Dams starve downstream areas of sediment (沉积物) needed to protect coasts against rising seas. Straightened streams move faster than winding ones, giving water less time to flow downward. And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.
In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control, Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems.
Along the way, she introduces “water detectives” —scientists,engineers,urban planners, and many others. 2
These water detectives have found ways to give the slippery substance the time and space it needs to flow slowly underground. Around Seattle’s Thornton Creek, for instance, reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding, which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban oasis. In California’s Central V alley, scientists want to find ways to move unpolluted storm water into subsurface valleys that make ideal aquifers (含水层).
3
While some people are exploring new ways to manage water, others are leaning on ancient knowledge. Researchers in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage, which don’t require dams, in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima—Peru’s populous capital that’s periodically affected by water shortage. 4 “Decision makers come from a culture of concrete,” Gies writes, “in which dams, pipes and desalination factories are standard.”
Understanding how to work with, not against, water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that’s being worsened by climate change. 5 Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.
A．Controlling water, Gies convincingly argues, is a false belief.
B．Instead of trying to control water, they ask: What does water want?
C．It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it.
D．These old-style underwater concrete techniques pave the way for the construction of dams.
E．To further understand the whole ecosystem, they believe effective water control requires effort.
F．The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try something new.
G．Feeding groundwater supplies will in turn sustain rivers from below, which helps to maintain water levels and ecosystems.
