Scott said,"I would like to say a massive thank-you to Express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It's amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets."An area,a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been destroyed since the fire began in September.On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents told to prepare to leave the area as fires on the suburb threatened to spread. And so far,a billion animals are feared to have died, including 25, 000 koalas.Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland,helping to save wildlife on Kangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated.The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated（脱水的）, while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight.According to Scott,who has appeared on ITV' s This Morning and BBC 's Blue Peter,the mother is showing "great signs of improvement" and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery on his eye and is"recovering from the anesthetic（麻药）and doing well". But the mother remains dehydrated so isn't producing enough milk to feed the baby. At the moment they're being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother.Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Even more sadly, patients are still coming in thick and fast. Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed, and regular medical treatment to their injuries.（1）What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs？________A.

Numerous animals may have lost their lives.．（2）What did Dr. Scott do in his homeland？________A. He worked hard in a field hospital on the island.B. He tried to rescue the wildlife on Kangaroo Island.C. He hosted the ITV' s This Morning and BBC' s Blue Peter.D. He carefully looked after the mother and the baby koalas.．（3）What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean？________A. Separately.B. Seriously.C.Successfully.D. Sympathetically.．（4）What's the best title of the passage？________A. An unexpected fireB. Generous donationC.Koalas' recoveryD. Koala rescue．3. Every time we get on a plane, we're asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode-it's for "security reasons". But according to The Conversation website,having to turn our phones off on a plane is "a service issue, not a safety one".When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft's radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. "It's the same noise you'll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker," the Mirror noted. "It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure. " Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn't dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn't stil l a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius（半径）． As we move from place to place we are"handed on" to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are "built-in" expectations: There shouldn't be too many "handoffs" and people shouldn't be traveling faster than car speeds." Of course,phone users should be close to the ground."he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew,however,none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.But now things are beginning to change. If we still can't speak during a flight,we can use other phone functions. For example,Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be"pico cells", which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service.One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.（1）Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane？________A. Because it will pose a threat to their safety.B. Because it can guarantee a better service.C. Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower.D. Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots.．（2）How many "built-in" expectations are mentioned to help make a call？________A. One.B. Two.C.Three.D. Four.．（3）What can we infer from the passage？________A. People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning.B. Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane.C. Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines.D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through inflight WiFi.．（4）Where is the text most likely from？________A. A newspaper.B. An official document.C. A guidebook.D. A science fiction story.．4. Plant breeding（育种）is the science of changing the characteristics of plants in order to produce desired ones. Genes in a plant are what determine what type of characteristics it will have. Plant breeders try to create a specific outcome of plants and potentially new plant varieties by changing the genes of the plants through breeding, which is making new plants from parents of different varieties or species.People all over the world are arguing about its benefits and disadvantages. Some people use the technology to produce desired characteristics of plants and animals. Other people are concerned that the genetically engineered plants may harm the environment and worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat.There are many reasons for changing plants in this way. International development agencies believe that breeding new crops is important for ensuring food security by developing new varieties that are higher yielding（高产的）, disease-resistant,drought-tolerant or regionally adapted to different environments and growing conditions. For example,some genetically engineered plants can live through frost or draught. As a result,farmers can make more profit because fewer plants will die.Some genetically engineered plants are more nutritious. They have less fat,taste better or stay fresher than non-genetically engineered plants. This will allow people to buy better-quality fruit and vegetables. Some can resist natural pests and viruses spread by insects. This reduces the amount of chemical needed to kill pests, which is helpful to the environment. However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems. Genetically engineered plants that resist pests may pass on that characteristic to a wild relative. This may cause the wild plant to spread fast, because pests are not naturally killing it. They canalso harm animals. A type of corn has been developed which kills a species of insect that destroys it. The pollen（花粉） from this corn, however, can also kill monarch butterflies-the most beautiful of all butterflies, which do not harm the corn.Genetic engineering is a very new science and we have a lot to learn about the good it can do and the damage it can cause. The main concern is that not enough tests are being done to ensure it is safe.（1）According to the passage, what is the purpose of plant breeding？________A. To beautify the environment.B. To change the genes of plants.C. To produce preferable plant varieties.D. To assess the value of the practice.．（2）Why could plant breeding ensure food security？________A. Because higher production is guaranteed.B. Because farmers can make more money.C. Because drought and frost hardly happen.D. Because food is of better quality.．（3）How can some genetically engineered plants benefit the environment？________A. Some beautiful butterflies are killed.B. Less harmful chemicals are used.C. The food they produce taste better or stay fresher.D. They can adapt to different environments.．（4）What's the author's attitude toward plant breeding？________A. Doubtful.B. Disapproving.C. Objective.D.Supportive.．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

If I wasn’t studying or worrying about my grades, I was working on after-class activities. It seemed as if my life had turned into one crazy cloud of confusion and I hoped to find some sort of direction.Finally, I got a part-time job at the local coffee shop. I had thought it would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring coffee and becoming close friends with my customers.What I hadn’t expected was the people with so many orders. There were moments when I was very angry simply because I couldn’t seem to please anyone. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skim milk. However, I kept at it.One day, one of my customers came in, depressed. Before he left, I handed him a bag alon g with his iced coffee. He looked at me questioningly because he hadn’t ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw his favorite doughnut (甜甜圈) I had given him. He smiled and thanked me before heading out into the rain.The next evening, he came. Instead of ordering something, he handed me a single pink rose and a note.“Thanks for being so sweet and thoughtful yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who’s warm and unselfish. Please don’t change your ways because I truly believe that you wil l do better. Have a great day!”As time went on, I did come across some customers really particular. But anytime I felt depressed, I thought of that man and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”4．What does the underlined word “hectic” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．glad. B．interesting.C．productive. D．busy.5．What can we know about the author’s part-time job?A．It is easy and stress-free. B．It is quite busy and challenging.C．It doesn’t need special skills.

If so, you aren’t alone. Many parents find it hard to communicate with their child. Even adults who work with children every day —teachers or coaches —sometimes need some communication tips. Many times adults confuse communication with telling a child what to do. Telling a child to do his homework or get more sleep isn’t real communication. It’s important information that your child needs, but it lacks an important part of c ommunication. It’s lacking the two-way exchange of feelings and ideas, which is the point of true communication. Healthy communication is the key to helping your child develop a healthy personality and good relationships with you. It gives your child a chance to become a happy, safe, healthy person, no matter what happens. So you know it’s important, but how should you do it?Effective communication between parents and children is not always easy. Children and adults have different communication styles and different ways of responding in a conversation. In addition, time and place can determine how successful communication will be. Parents should make time to talk with their children in a quiet, unhurried way. It’s also important that parents should be read y to listen whenever their child wants to talk, even if it’s an inconvenient time. The parents should be aware of their child’s facial expression and body language. Is your child nervous or uncomfortable —frowning(皱眉), drumming fingers, tapping a foot or looking at the clock? Or does your child seem relaxed? Is he or she smiling or looking at you in the eyes? Reading these signs will help you know how your child is feeling.8．Which of the following belongs to real communication?A．Telling children to return home early after school.B．Reporting school results to parents.C．Listening to what children say and giving a reply.D．Answering the teacher’s questions in class.9．The key to real communication is _______.A．a proper time B．various stylesC．a two-way exchange D．good attitudes10．Which of the following is NOT the factor affecting the communication between adults and children?A．Communication styles. B．Different languages.C．Different responding ways. D．Wrong time and place.11．How can parents know their ch ild’s feelings when communicating with their child? A．By reading their child’s body language and facial expressions.B．By making their child tell the truth.C．By giving the information that their child needs.D．By developing good relationships with their childBorn and raised in a digital age, today’s young people are generally tech savvy (技术娴熟的). But when it comes to basic life skills, they’re less capable than the older generation.According to a recent study, 69 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK have no idea how to bleed a radiator(暖气片换水). About 35 percent of them don’t know how to sew on a button, while about 11 percent don’t understand how to change a light bulb or iron clothes.It appears young people are losing the skills older generations took for granted. In fact, the problem is shared by young people in the United States. According to a report by Forbes in 2014, most millennial (千禧一代) drivers don’t know how to check their tire pressure. Cooking is another basic life skill that has been dropped, as millennials are much more likely to order food deliveries than previous generations.Technology may be to blame for this generational gap. Skills at using phones and computers are the ones valued these days, and the practical skills are now seen as functions that can be easily outsourced (外包). Indeed, improvements in technology have made young people unfamiliar with many basic life skills. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have had no need to learn how to read physical maps.Howev er, this change has raised concerns among many people. “If you have your master’s degree and you can’t live within your means or go home from your job and feed yourself a nutritious (有营养的) meal, you’re not a complete graduate,” Chris Moore, a professor fro m Brigham Young University, US, told HuffPost.That’s why there’s an increasing call for the return of “home ec” in the US, short for homeeconomics, which teaches basic life skills like cooking and how to do laundry. It was very popular in the early 20th century, but was later taken out of schools and universities because of budget(预算) cuts. But recently, home ec was reintroduced in a small number of schools and universities.“The educational system would work better if every academic class had a practical course that applied the theory to do something regular people do in real life,” Robert Frost, instructor and flight controller at NASA, wrote on Quora, according to Huffpost.12．Compared with previous generations, today’s young people are ________.A．more capable in practical skillsB．more capable in technological skillsC．take changing light bulls and sewing for grantedD．less likely to order food deliveries13．What is the reason for the gap between the present generation and previous ones? A．Today’s young people are lazy.B．Today’s young people are spoiled by their parents.C．The economic situation of the past was worse than the present one.D．Improvement in technology is to blame for it.14．What can we conclude from the last three paragraphs?A．The educational system would work better if practical courses are included in academic classes.B．The change caused by improvements of technology raised many problems among people. C．Home economics has returned in large scale.D．Home economics teaches basic home technological skills.15．What is the best title for the passage?A．The improvements of technology.B．Differences between the present and previous generations.C．Young people’s lack of basic home skills.D．The meaning and function of home economics.二、七选五Procrastination(拖延症) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s toolate. 16．Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further.17．Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy?18．Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late. 19．In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.20．I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.A．It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life. B．Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.C．Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.D．If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.E.Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.F.Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.G.Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.三、完形填空My 9-year-old daughter and I were flying from our home in Carolina to spend a week with my husband in Florida. We were 21 about the trip because we hadn’t seen him for five months, and my daughter 22 her Dad terribly.As usual on the Charlotte-to-Miami flight，the plane was totally 23 .

At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across t he Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.Purchase Your Ticket in Advance OnlineBypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad, which is a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.Don’t Bring V aluable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours witnessing people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf you’re like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere (最高水平). Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.1．Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?A．Because you can stand on the top of the Tower.B．Because you can avoid the crowds and enjoy it peacefully.C．Because you can have a special sight of the city of Paris.D．Because you can see the Seine as clearly as possible.2．What does the underlined word “Bypass” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Stand in. B．Avoid.C．Control. D．Remember.3．Why did some people fail to go up the Eiffel Tower?A．Because they didn’t seize the chance.B．Because they lost valuable objects.C．Because they set off the metal detector.D．Because they had a quarrel with the officer.When I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help —but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire. After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth, and ignited the cotton. Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn —one minute, then two minutes— until mom put out the fire.You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time preindustrial. When I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, and even no running water. And we certainly didn’t have access to modern medical resources. There was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider bite.For those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my mom’s cure: heat deactivates(使失去活性) proteins, and a spider’s venom (毒液) is simply a form of protein. It’s cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it? But I am a PhD student in biochemistry at Harvard, I now know that better, less painful and less risky treatments existed. So I can’t help but ask myself why I didn’t rece ive one at the time.Fifteen years have passed since that incident I am happy to report that my hand is fine. But this question lingers, and I continue to be troubled by it. We have learned to edit the human genome(基因组) and unlock many secrets of how cancer progresses. We can control neuronal activity literally with the switch of a light. Each year brings more advances in biomedical research—exciting, transformative accomplishments. Yet, despite the knowledge we have accumulated, we haven’ t been so successful in distributing it to where it’s needed most. According to the World Bank, twelve percent of the world’s population lives on less than $ 2 aday. Malnutrition kills more than 3 million children annually. Three hundred million people are suffering malaria globally. All over the world, we constantly see these problems of poverty, illness, and lack of resources preventing the flow of scientific information. Life-saving knowledge we take for granted in the modern world is often unavailable in these underdeveloped regions. And in far too many places, people are still essentially trying to cure a spider bite with fire.4．How did the author’s mom cure him of the spider’s bite?A．She sent him to the nearby hospital immediately.B．She asked the neighbors for help.C．She wrapped the wound with cotton and burnt it.D．She let him drink some wine.5．What was NOT the author’s hometown like?A．It was a backward village in China.B．It was an industrial rural village.C．It had no running water, telephones or cars.D．People there had no access to modern medical care.6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “incorporates” in Paragraph 3? A．includes B．resistsC．inspires D．invents7．What does the author want to do most?A．Change the unequal distribution of scientific knowledge.B．Discover more secrets to cancer.C．Bring more advances in biochemistry.D．Invent better and less painful treatments.Growing up in Puerto Rico, our family was no different from so many others. My parents got married after my father came back when the war ended. Both of my parents were struggling with the hard economic realities of the time. But somehow, they found time to cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life.In our daily life, we celebrated together with our friends or family members every birthday, every graduation, and all holidays with music and dancing, and typical foods. When we visited our family in the countryside—a trip that took about two hours in a car, with five childrenfighting as to who would get a window or the front seat —we would break into song, and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun. We would sing not only interesting children’s songs but also beautiful love songs — songs about the love of our country though we didn’t understand the meaning of the words many times.I came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1973 to do a residency(实习) in family medicine. I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all worsened by my feeling of cultural differences.An important turning point in my life happened one Saturday night when I attended a concert of Puerto Rico singer and composer Antonio Caban Vale. The music showed my familiar rhythms, and the words spoke to my heart. I had found a space to express, celebrate, and share my culture in Philadelphia. Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this.8．What do we know about the author’s family?A．They lived a well-off life.B．They suffered a lot from war.C．They were tired of family activities.D．They took cultural values seriously.9．Why does the author mention the trip in Paragraph 2?A．To prove her pride in her culture.B．To show fun brought by her culture.C．To express her love for the country.D．To show the fight between her siblings.10．What added to the author’s depressing life in Ph iladelphia?A．Dangers as a doctor. B．Prejudice from the rich.C．Cultural shock. D．Low payment.11．What did the concert make the author aware of?A．The excitement of the rhythms.B．The value of the lyrics.C．The advantage of cultural diversity.D．The strength of believing in oneself.Are you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels (血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tat- chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brain’s flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.12．What is the main idea of this passage?A．How exercise makes people strong.B．How to get good scores in a test.C．How exercise helps the brain develop.D．How the brain can change one’s memory.13．According to the passage, what is the connection between exercise and brain development?A．Exercise helps soften our blood vessels.B．Physical exercise helps us think better.C．The brain needs special mental exercise.D．The more exercise, the bigger the brain.14．For ordinary people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is ______. A．two hours per week B．40 hours per weekC．three hours per day D．40 hours per month15．Why is yoga suggested for seniors?A．It does good to the joints of old people.B．It does not increase the heart rate.C．It includes learning new actions.D．It can be done in groups.二、信息匹配How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and / or family that have an opinion on everything you do? It’s not easy! 16．Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic (充满活力的) life.17．Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter—your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.Don’t fear people.18．The reason most people don’t take risks, or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them. If you want to live the life you truly deserve, you must give up the need to be liked by everybody.Value yourself and your choices.When you do, others will too. Own the choices you make in your life. 19．When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you too. Show confidence in your choices, and what you stand for whether others agree or not.Focus on appreciation.No matter what the circumstances are, there is always something to be grateful for. All successful people ask, “What am I grateful for? How can I improve my situation and use thesetough times to inspire others?” 20．These steps, if applied, will help you transform your lifestyle and productivity. A．Focus on your own talents and strengths.B．Never let others’ opinions guide your choices.C．Treat every person equally as they are important.D．When you doubt yourself others will doubt you.E. Stay fearless in everything you will have to do.F. Be thankful to life and be helpful to others, and you’ll lead a successful life.G. However, there are great possibilities that you can lead the life you really want.三、完形填空His palms were sweating. He needed a towel to dry his grasp. The sun was as hot as the 21 he faced today at the National Junior Olympics. The bar (横竿) was set at 17 feet. That was three inches higher than his personal best. Michael Stone faced the most 22 day of his pole-vaulting(撑竿跳高) career.You couldn’t tell whether Michael Stone was surprised, excited or vain about clearing the bar at 17 feet.

He began to 36 like an eagle.He later went on that day to clear 17 feet 6 inches: a new National and International Junior Olympics record.With all the media attention and sponsorship possibilities, Michael’s life would never be 37 agai n. It wasn’t just because he won the National Junior Olympics and 38 a new world record. And it wasn’t because he had just increased his personal best by 9 inches.

Scott said, “I would like to say a massive thank-you to express readers from myself, from Australia and from the koalas. It's amazing that people from across the world can see how significant the catastrophe has been. I do appreciate that people are being very supportive and reaching into their pockets.” An area, a third of the size of Britain is estimated to have been destroyed since the fire began in September.On Friday a state of emergency was declared in the capital Canberra, with residents told to prepare to leave the area as fires on the suburb threatened to spread. And so far, a billion animals are feared to have died, including 25,000 koalas.Last week Scott told how he had visited his homeland, helping to save wildlife onKangaroo Island off the coast of Adelaide. While there he rescued a mother and a baby koala who were stuck in a tree. The pair were rushed to a field hospital on the island to be treated.The mum had severe burns to her paws and was badly dehydrated, while her baby son had an eye injury and was underweight.According to Scott, who has appeared on ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter, the mother is showing "great signs of improvement" and her wounds are starting to heal. The baby has undergone surgery on his eye and is "recovering from the anesthetic and doing well". But the mother remains dehydrated so isn't producing enough milk to feed the baby. At the moment they're being housed severally but there is the hope that when the baby is a little stronger he will be able to be returned to his mother.Even after they recover, the pair will probably spend their lives in an enclosure while the bush takes years to recover. Even more sadly, patients are still coming in thick and fast. Each of these animals is requiring to be housed and fed, and regular medical treatment to their injuries. 4．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A．Dr. Scott donated more than £5,500. B．Residents were asked to return to Canberra.C．A large area of Britain has been destroyed. D．Numerous animals may have lost their lives.5．What did Dr. Scott do in his homeland?A．He worked hard in a field hospital on the island.B．He tried to rescue the wildlife on Kangaroo Island.C．He hosted the ITV's This Morning and BBC's Blue Peter.D．He carefully looked after the mother and the baby koalas.6．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Separately. B．Seriously. C．Successfully. D．Sympathetically. 7．What's the best title of the passage?A．An unexpected fire B．Generous donation C．Koalas' recovery D．Koala rescueEvery time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode —it’s for “security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radiosand pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be fa miliar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea. Whe n we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this sy stem to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service.One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground. 8．Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane?A．Because it will pose a threat to their safety.B．Because it can guarantee a better service.C．Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower.D．Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots.9．How many “built-in” expectations are mentioned to help make a call?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.10．What can we infer from the passage?A．People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning.B．Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane.C．Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines.D．Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through inflight WiFi.11．Where is the text most likely from?A．A newspaper.B．An official document.C．A guidebook.D．A science fiction story.Plant breeding is the science of changing the characteristics of plants in order to produce desired ones. Genes in a plant are what determine what type of characteristics it will have. Plant breeders try to create a specific outcome of plants and potentially new plant varieties by changing the genes of the plants through breeding, which is making new plants from parents of different varieties or species.People all over the world are arguing about its benefits and disadvantages. Some people use the technology to produce desired characteristics of plants and animals. Other people are concerned that the genetically engineered plants may harm the environment and worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat.There are many reasons for changing plants in this way. International development agencies believe that breeding new crops is important for ensuring food security by developing new varieties that are higher yielding, disease-resistant, drought-tolerant or regionally adapted to different environments and growing conditions. For example, some genetically engineered plants can live through frost or draught. As a result,farmers can make more profit because fewer plants will die.Some genetically engineered plants are more nutritious. They have less fat,taste better or stay fresher than non-genetically engineered plants. This will allow people to buy better-quality fruit and vegetables. Some can resist natural pests and viruses spread by insects. This reduces the amount of chemical needed to kill pests, which is helpful to the environment.However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems. Genetically engineered plants that resist pests may pass on that characteristic to a wild relative. This may cause the wild plant to spread fast, because pests are not naturally killing it. They can also harm animals. A type of corn has been developed which kills a species of insect that destroys it. The pollen from this corn, however, can also kill monarch butterflies-the most beautiful of allbutterflies, which do not harm the corn.Genetic engineering is a very new science and we have a lot to learn about the good it can do and the damage it can cause. The main concern is that not enough tests are being done to ensure it is safe.12．According to the passage, what is the purpose of plant breeding?A．To beautify the environment. B．To change the genes of plants.C．To produce preferable plant varieties. D．To assess the value of the practice. 13．Why could plant breeding ensure food security?A．Because higher production is guaranteed. B．Because farmers can make more money. C．Because drought and frost hardly happen. D．Because food is of better quality. 14．How can some genetically engineered plants benefit the environment?A．Some beautiful butterflies are killed. B．Less harmful chemicals are used. C．The food they produce taste better or stay fresher. D．They can adapt to different environments.15．What’s the author’s attitude toward plant breeding?A．Doubtful. B．Disapproving. C．Objective. D．Supportive.二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
