第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
You might know what to do if a human needs first aid, but what if your dog gets a bite or your cat eats something poisonous? Dr. Liam Donaldson, clinical director at Greencross Vet(兽医) Hospital at the University of Melbourne, says it’s important that pet owners understand basic first aid. Here, he shares his tips for dealing with common accidents and injuries.
Cuts & wounds
You don’t need to worry about disinfecting the injury site, but you do need to stop the bleeding, says Dr. Donaldson. “If there’s uncontrollable bleeding, apply pressure — even if it’s just using a T-shirt. Once you have applied pressure to reduce bleeding, take your pet immediately to a vet for assessment.” he advises.
Snake bites
Snakes have very small teeth, so their bite marks can be difficult to spot — and you might not see the bite happen. But if your pet shows signs of snake bite poisoning — sudden weakness and collapse, dilated pupils, vomiting, paralysis and shaking or twitching of muscles — get them to a vet without delay.
Tick bites
It’s a good idea to have a pair of tick-removal tweezers(镊子) on hand in case you need to remove a tick from your pet. “There’s often a lot of concern about whether you have to get all of the tick or not, but as long as you get the body of the tick off, generally the head will just remove itself over time,” says Dr. Donaldson. He recommends keeping the tick so that if your pet becomes ill, your vet can identify whether they were bitten by a paralysis tick (the type that can be deadly).
Poisoning
Cats eating ivy and dogs eating sago palm or macadamia nuts are some of the most common poisonings Dr. Donaldson sees. “If it’s a macadamia nut, I would just keep a very close eye on them. If they start to show any gastrointestinal signs — if they go off their food, if they become sore in any of their legs — get them checked over by a vet,” he says. “If it was lilies or sago palm, I would recommend getting them to a vet, even if they’re not showing signs of illness, just because that can typically be life-threatening.”
21. If your pet dog gets seriously injured, what is the best solution?
A. To seek medical assistance.
B. To disinfect the injury site.
C. To apply pressure to reduce bleeding.
D. To use a T-shirt to stop bleeding.
22. A cat or dog should be sent to hospital immediately it eats _________.
A. Ivy.
B. Sago palm.
C. A macadamia nut.
D. A common poisoning.
23. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A medical journal.
B. A biology textbook.
C. A hospital advertisement.
D. An animal care guide.
B
At 1,345 meters above sea level, Ben Nevis is definitely not the world’s most difficult mountain to climb. But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch-high heels, especially if you’re a guy. One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
Ben Conway, a 19-year-old art student from London, recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton. He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m. on June 27, and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen, a friend from his art foundation year, who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project. The whole climb took five hours and wasn’t the smoothest experience.
Halfway up Ben Navis, one of his shoes broke, so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on. The
weather didn’t make it easy for him either, as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time, and he had to go against 40-to-50-mile-per-hour winds. Due to these difficult conditions, Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain. Apart from providing a unique art school application project, the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes, like Sal’s Shoes, which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
“Raising money for charity brings happiness to people’s lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness, then that’s what it’s all about.” Ben said.
24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tricky” in paragraph 1?
A. Pleasant.
B. Boring.
C. Tough.
D. Smooth.
25. Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben?
A. To prove nothing is impossible.
B. To record a special experience.
C. To promote their friendship.
D. To assist in Ben’s application.
26. What does paragraph 3 focus on?
A. The difficulties in the climb.
B. The climbing route.
C. The terrible weather.
D. The unexpected incident.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ben’s story?
A. Puzzling.
B. Inspiring.
C. Exciting.
D. Frightening.
C
Back in 2019, three Chinese paleontologists were playfighting during a break from working in the Chongqing Province, China. One was kung-fu kicked into a huge rock, causing piles of broken stones to tumble down and exposing an opening in the rock face. Inside, a very impressive fossil lay undisturbed, preserved for millions of years.
The fossil was a jawed fish, some 439 million years old, and the findings from the Chongqing site, along with other fossil findings in nearby Guizhou province, have excited the science world, as they are 11 million years older than any fish fossil found before.
It is a significant discovery because paleontologists have suspected that jaws(下颚) evolved some 450 million years ago in species living in water, but there had yet to be any fossils that supported this theory. The oldest fossils with jaws found were 439 million years old. In this discovery, though, there was a new species of ancestral shark that was 439 million years old, with a complete jaw. The “spiny shark” suggests that the jawed fish emerged many years earlier than previously assumed.
“All these things are still like dreams,” said Zhu Min, who led the research teams that recently published four papers on the discoveries, “Today we are staring at complete early Silurian fishes, 11 million years earlier than the previous oldest finds. These are both the most exciting as well as the most challenging fossils I have had the privilege to work on.”
China has been the site of numerous discoveries in recent years, including fossils of feathered dinosaurs, as well as the oldest known animals on Earth. “The discovery of the Chongqing site is indeed an unbelievable miracle of fossil hunting,” Zhu added, “Suddenly we realized we had found a fossil site of exceptional preservation. We are now close to the core of
understanding the fishy tree of early jawed vertebrates(颌类脊椎动物).”
28. How was the fossil discovered by the Chinese paleontologists?
A. When they were having fun.
B. When they were practicing kung fu.
C. When they were fighting.
D. When they were working.
29. What does the underlined word “undisturbed” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Incomplete.
B. Unchanged.
C. Uninterrupted.
D. Indifferent.
30. Why is this jawed fish fossil very important?
A. Because it has excited the scientific community.
B. Because its jaws evolved 450 million years.
C. Because it has provided evidence for previous theory.
D. Because it is a new species of a certain shark.
31. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To report a breakthrough and significance in research.
B. To inform people of fossilized fishes recently found.
C. To show how the jaws of fish evolved millions of years ago.
D. To stress the significance of jaws for early animals.
D
Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy pair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.
Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center. PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things, Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera, PleIQ has children act as a teacher or guide to a companion character.
On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism(自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.”
At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
32. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?
A. By playing the role of a companion.
B. By giving direct guidance.
C. By taking photos with a camera.
D. By presenting visual images.
33. What can be inferred about Woobo from paragraph 3?
A. It is programmed to replace teachers.
B. It may be good company for kids.
C. It can get started automatically.
D. It is intended to design games.
34. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?
A. They are quite easy to operate.
B. They can teach children numbers.
C. They help kids express themselves well.
D. They can show their emotions clearly.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence
B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair
C. Toymakers are making profits in education
D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

I woke up with only one thing on my mind: what to wear. A billion thoughts 41 through my brain as wooden hangers(衣架) moved back and forth. It was my first day of high school in a new state; first 42 are everything, and it was necessary to impress the people who I’d spend the next four years with.

第二节书面表达
A suggested version:
An act of love
Last Friday, our school hosted a charity sale, which was aimed at raising money for the stay-at-home children in remote mountainous areas.
As arranged, the charity sale started at 12:30 on the playground and lasted for nearly four hours, drawing a great number of teachers and students to participate. They were willing to contribute to the activity by either donating their personal stuff or buying something from the sale, a second-hand book, a newly-bought item or even
a DIY product.
In my opinion, this charity sale was a great success. For one thing, with our joint efforts, we managed to raise
a great amount of money to help those needy kids. For another, the enthusiasm and selflessness displayed by our
fellow classmates will inspire more people to care and continue this act of love.
What a wonderful experience! More activities like this are expected.
