第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解：本大题共16小题，共38分。
AA Midsummer Night's Dream may be one of Shakespeare's most performed play—but its latest version from the Royal Shakespeare Company will be unlike any seen before.Titled Dream，the 50-minute online production combines live performance with motion-capture （动作捕捉）technology，3 D graphics，and interactive gaming techniques that let audiences remotely guide the leading character Puck through a virtual forest.As live theater put some seriously high-tech fairy （小精灵）factors into practice，Dream promises to bring the rarest version of the play to our screens.In 2016，the theater's production of The Tempest used live motion-capture technology to create a 3 D digital image that was projected above the stage.The difference this time is that everything in the play—the performers and their surroundings—will be shown virtually.Seven actors will perform in a specially-built studio in Portsmouth，southern England，wearing motion-capture suits.They will be surrounded by a 360-degree camera set，made up of 47 cameras with every movement almost immediately presented digitally，which is presented to viewers online.With its much-reduced characters，Dream is not a complete production of A Midsummer Night's Dream；rather，it is a story inspired by it，focusing on Puck and the fairies.Up to 2，000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest.Onscreen，the chosen audience will appear as a cloud of tiny fireflies （萤火虫）.By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device，they will be able to move their firefly across the screen，and Puck will be at their beck and call to go through the virtual space.For viewers watching at home，the virtual fairies moving through adigital forest will look more like a video game than the average Royal Shakespeare Company show.But the performances are delivered live and in real time.Every night's performance will be unique."Without the fireflies—the audiences—Puck wouldn't be going anywhere，" said E.M.Williams who plays the role. "The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show."1.What makes Dream different from The Tempest？______A. The number of actors and actresses.B. The surroundings around the performers.C. The 3 D digital image it chooses to show.D. The way it presents everything in the play.2.Which aspect of the play does Paragraph 3 focus on？______A. Its leading characters.B. The design of its content.C. Its production process.D. The inspiration for the play.3.What does the underlined part "be at their beck and call" in the last but one paragraph mean？______A. Be willing to guide them.B. Be likely to receive a call.C. Be difficult to control.D. Be ready to follow their order.4.What do E.M.Williams' words in the last paragraph show？______A. The cost of the show.B. The pleasure of the audiences.C. The importance of the audiences.D. The task of the leading character.BIt had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas，but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols（气溶胶）are abundant.In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications，an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.The researchers obtained atmospheric data on Africa and the oceans around it for the period 2013 to 2017.The data included numbers of lightning flashes，rainfall，temperatures and cloud representations.They looked for differences in atmospheric conditions in storms that occurred over land versus those that occurred over the sea and found one main difference：the amount of salt in the air.Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals（冰晶）—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another，creating an electrical charge.Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged （usually at the top of the cloud）and another negatively charged （usually at the bottom of the cloud）.And clouds form，of course，when vapor evaporates（蒸发）from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.The researchers found that things are slightly different over the ocean.When water evaporates from the sea，it bears a load of salt.When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets，they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals.The result is far fewer lightning discharges.The researchers suggest their findings could be useful in improving the accuracy of both climate models and meteorological reports.It could also possibly lead some to attempt to seed storm clouds with salt to reduce their severity.5.What is the common belief of lightning over oceans？______A. Lightning pollutes the remote sea.B. Polluted air leads to less lightning at sea.C. Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea.D. Cleaner air contributes to more lightning at sea.6.How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3？______A. By presenting facts.B. By listing similarities.C. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.7.How do water droplets on land differ from those at sea？______A. They drop much faster.B. They contain more water.C. They are bigger and heavier.D. They are smaller and lighter.8.What can be the best title for the text？______A. Salt in Sea Spray Worsens Storms over the Sea.B. Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away.C. Lightning Strikes Are More Common over Oceans.D. Sea Spray Is Found Evaporating Faster over Oceans.CAround seven out of every ten Americans who work in offices do their work in an open environment，defined as at desks without meaningful partitions （隔板），according to an International Facility Management Association survey.Thatis，if they even have a desk——workers may be assigned only a few feet of a communal（共用的）table.The open-plan office space trend，popularized by creative agencies and technology start-ups，went mainstream because of the belief that open-space environments support innovation.More nearness between employees，the thinking went，would create more interaction and teamwork，promote social interaction and urge productivity.But in fact，purely open-plan offices have been shown to have the opposite effects，creating so much distraction（分心）that employees stayed away from each other.A study funded by Harvard Business Sehaol，the results of which were published last year，tracked what happened when a British company moved its employees from traditional office space，with offices with walls，to an open office.Face-to-face interaction became less——employees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their colleagues.Instead of talking more with each other，the employees put on headphones and began communicating by text and email.As digital communication channels surged，productivity declined. Neuroscience also holds some clues as to why the tight quarters in communal work spaces——where workers are only given about half the space they were given a decade ago——are so hard to work in. "The human voice sets off the most powerful emotional response in our auditory（听觉的）experience.Voice above 55 decibels（分贝）—— roughly the sound of a loud phone call——causes measurable stress，" according to a Wall Street Journal article，"The Neuroscience-Optimized Office"."Even more troublesome are overheard 'halfversations'，in which the listener only knows about one side of a dialogue；our brains automatically imagine the other，" wrote authors John Medina and Ryan Mullenix.But the solution，say experts including Newport，isn't to go back to putting everyone into offices with walls.9.What can we learn about the open office trend according to paragraph 1？______A. It allows 10 people at most to work together.B. It is believed to stimulate workers' creativity.C. It is only popular with new technology companies.D. It is aimed at promoting workers' social interaction.10.What does the underlined word"surged"in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Suspended timely.B. Became useless.C. Cost less.D. Increased quickly.11.What makes an open office hard to work in？______A. Hearing endless noisy phone calls.B. Showing real emotions publicly.C. Facing communication barriers at work.D. Hearing part of a dialogue between colleagues.12.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph？______A. What are benefits of the open offices with walls.B. Why the open office makes workers distracted.C. How to deal with the disadvantages of the open office.D. How to draw workers' attention to their colleagues nearby.DDo you know the websites that let you name a star after your beloved one，your kid or your dog for a small fee？Yeah，those are all fake— you could pay me to "name" a star for ﹩50，and I'll take your money and show the name online.I'll even send you a fancy certificate!It seems that you've named a star，but it just doesn't count.Actually，the only organization that owns official naming rights is the International Astronomical Union，or the IAU.It was founded in 1919 and based in Paris，France.It is where astronomers and other professionals have reached the agreements and is the official record-keeping body for all discoveries in space.Recently they do open up an opportunity for the public to name a dozen of planets outside the solar system.These planets will be among the first to be studied with the James Webb Space Telescope.However，they currently only have boring and complicated documents that were used to find them.That's why the IAU is looking for something more interesting. But before you start naming the planets，you should know the rules.First，nothing is rude or annoying.Second，the name should be less than 16 characters long and pronounceable in at least one language with no commercial or business names and nothing is named after a living individual or a pet.The competition，named "Stars Worlds"，is open next Thursday，January 20th.It's the third such contest the IAU has held，and the purpose is to get the public more interested in science as well as the organization.The competition also helps to break centuries of European dominance when it comes to naming things in the night sky.So people around the world can share the joy of discovery and make their mark in history.13.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage？______A. By listing figures.B. By taking an example.C. By offering a solution.D. By showing differences.14.What can we know about the IAU from the passage？______A. It was founded by France.B. It studies the space telescope.C. It organizes trips to the space.D. It has the right to name the stars.15.What is the last paragraph mainly about？______A. Why the competition is held.B. How the competition develops.C. What to expect in the competition.D. How to take part in the competition.16.Where is this passage most likely taken from？______A. A novel.B. A textbook.C. A diary.D. A magazine.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。

Slowly but surely, it poured into 21 . E-mail is a 22 tool for college students at any level.It’s available 24 hours a day, 7days a week and 23 at holidays. Most universities assign students an account upon entrance, 24 there is usually not even an option （选择）You can do everything from consulting on homework and projects, 25 classmates, family and friends, and getting daily news services to 26 you informed of the world 27 . But, what are the 28 ？E-mail can be E-jail（监狱）.

Create and organize your E-mail folders（文件夹）into important school-related mail, correspondence（通信）with friends and family, and a folder for jokes, horoscopes and other news services. 36 put the mail into the proper folders first, and whenyou’ve finished, head for the important E-mail first and, 37 you have time, you can get to the others.38 your friends from forwarding those tiresome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain mails.

Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways-education, medicine and business. Quietly, the graying（老龄化）of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage of health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say,“I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.”No one says “Act your age”any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.41. It can be learned from the text that aging of the population in America .A. has made people feel younger.B. has changed people’s social positionC. has changed people’s understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country’s social development42. The underlined word “one”refers to .A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population43. “Act your age”means people should .A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect to their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercises suitable to their age44. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it .A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonableBParents should s top blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful,reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across theB. lifeB. changeable B. stillB. soB. getting to touch B. keepB. incidentsB. mistakesB. costB. becauseB. OrB. such likeB. marked with B. necessaryB. markB. AlwaysB. althoughB. WatchB. check upB. immediatelyC. our livesC. favorableC. everC. becauseC. losing touch withC. leavingC. eventsC. wrongsC. takeC. sinceC. ButC. for exampleC. filled withC. practicalC. gradeC. AlmostC. sinceC. DiscourageC. findC. afterD. us lifeD. usableD. yetD. except thatD. keeping in touch withD. leaveD. thingsD. disadvantagesD. payD. whenD. HoweverD. so asD. covered withD. possibleD. timeD. UsuallyD. becauseD. RefuseD. realizeD. soon21. A. the lives22. A. valuable23. A. even24. A. but25. A. losing touch with26. A. keeping27. A. accidents28. A. advantages29. A. spend30. A. for31. A. Otherwise32. A. such as33. A. struck with34. A. important35. A. money36. A. Sometimes37. A. if38. A. Encourage39. A. examine40. A. latertabel, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.45. This text is most probably written by .A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems46. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to .A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a childB. the way that parents ofter blame themselvesC. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow47. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as .A. lazyB. quietC. unusualD. rude48. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters .A. pay not attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about themCIt’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’ve about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life.Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not ever middle-aged.As you go into the kitche n and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitch en, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.“Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only speci ally trained astronauts went into space — and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.It’s time for you to got to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.49. What changes the colour of your shirt?A. The mirrorB. The shirt itselfC. The counterD. The medicine.50. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl.B. By listening to the doctor’s advice.C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.D. By checking the nutrition details of the food.51. The strawberries the children eat serve as .A. breakfastB. lunchC. vaccinesD. nutrition52. How is the text organized?A. In order of timeB. In order of frequency.C. In order of preference.D. In order of importanceDI was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994., but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look ater him.We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and ofter couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the tea cher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden(负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be crues. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his cindition a secret. I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me.

You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and not to say that it was quite right; you needn’t worry about being refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up. Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my clas smates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong negative influences on study.Most students don’t view the relationship between study an d work correctly. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial(财政的) reasons, students should be cautious (careful) about taking up a part-time job.57. From the text, we can tell that the writer is .A. an unemployed manB. a middle-school studentC. a college studentD. a door-to-door salesman58.

AThere are always been some heated debates when it comes to medical cloning.Different people hold different attitudes towards the topic, some in favor of it while some strongly against it.Peter Smith: “I suggest that medical cloning is very i mportant for curing serious illnesses that at present have no cure; for example, to replace nerve cells(神经细胞) in someone who has suffered a stroke(中风). Most profitably, medical cloning can be used to help with diseases that gradually cause people to lose their ability to move or to think ( such as Parkinson’s Disease). With the help of special cloning techniques, such people can be restored to perfect health and be able to live a normal life again. This is a wonderful thing for human beings because it impro ves our quality of life. As we can see, the benefits are very obvious. ”Louis Armstrong: “ Medical cloning is far more complicated than what some people claim to be. First of all, where do these stem cells(干细胞) come from? Well, from human cells of course. If you believe that human life comes into existence as soon as the cells begin to grow, then the practice of removing an embryo(胚胎) kills it. This embryo, if it was allowed to continue to grow and develop, would eventually become another human being. So by using stem cells to save one person, we are actually killing another. Is it morally justified(正当的)? I feel that the answer must be NO. Not to mention the uncertain risk and danger. ”Indeed, at the moment medical cloning research is a very new science. It has been proved successful in cloning some animals ---- but not all. There still exist a lot of unsolved problems in animal cloning. And the problems for human cloning will be even more serious as no human has yet been cloned. It is much more reasonable that we must be cautious about medical cloning until all these problems are settled.21.What is Louis Armstrong’s attitude to medical cloning?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Opposed.D. Unclear.22.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. The author supports the idea that we should carry out medical cloning immediately.B. The author tends to be against Louis Armstrong’s point of view.C. The author disagrees that there should be medical cloning.D. The author crit icizes both Peter’s and Louis’s idea.23.How does medical cloning benefit human beings as far as Peter Smith is concerned?A. Medical cloning can cure all kinds of illnesses including Parkinson’s Disease.B. Medical cloning can prevent people from getting diseases.C. Medical cloning can make human beings perfect and healthy.D. Medical cloning can help people with some serious diseases to restore health.BIn 1452 one of the greatest painters and inventors, Leonardo da Vinci, was born. His family was very poor and he grew up in the Italian countryside. But his drawing ability allowed him to study under the famous painter from Florence, called Verrocchio. Leonardo gradually learned the skills needed to be a great artist and by the 1480s he had begun to produce paintings of his own. Unfortunately, at this time painting did not always provide a steady income, so the young Leonardo developed his drawing skills to earn money in other ways. He learned to design whatever his employer wanted: cities, canals, bridges or weapons.Leonardo became interested in machines when he was a boy. Some of his early drawings showed clearly how various machine parts worked. While he was studying under Verrocchio, Leonardo observed and used a variety of machines. By studying and drawing them, Leonardo gained knowledge about their design and structure. Artists in Leonardo’s time knew how to build and repair many familiar kinds of machines, but nobody seemed to have thought about inventing new ones.However, Leonardo was different. He developed a new attitude towards machines. He realized that by understanding how each separate machine worked, he could improve them and combine them in different ways to improve existing machines. In this way he began to design machines no one had ever seen before. He set out to write the first systematic explanation of how machines work and how the parts of a machine are combined in the whole. His drawing skills enabled him to produce clear drawings of his mechanical ideas easily. Even more than five hundred years later, many of his designs can still be used to create perfect working machines.For him, the most interesting part was the use of mechanical gears(齿轮). Based on the gear, he came up with numerous designs, including the bicycle, a helicopter, a n “ automobile” and some weapons of course.While making inventions Leonardo was also painting. One of those who knew him best recognized his special abilities and described him in those words: “The most wonderful gifts seem to be given to certain human beings. Sometimes, marvellously(不可思议地), they can be found in one individual ... This was seen and acknowledged by all men in the case of Leonardo da Vinci, who demonstrated ... a special grace in everything he did. His talent was so rare that he mastered any subject to which he turned his attention ... He might have been a scientist if he had not been so skilled in other areas.”Today, we think of Leonardo da Vinci as one of the greatest painters, but if he had never been a painter, we would still appreciate him as one of the greatest inventors of his time.24.Leonardo could learn painting under Verrocchio because of _____________.A. his rich familyB. his interest in machinesC. his drawing skillsD. his painting ability25.When Leonardo was a boy, he _______________.A. showed no interest in machinesB. lived with Verrocchio in FlorenceC. earned much money through paintingD. led a life with terrible poverty26.According to the underlined description about Leonardo, we can say that ________.A. Leonardo became a scientist at lastB. Leonardo’s inventions were not so good as his paintings.C. Leonardo was a man of talentD. Leonardo was regarded as a scientist as well as an artist.27.What is the best title for the text?A. Leonardo da Vinci: more than a painterB. Leonardo da Vinci: one of the greatest inventorsC. Leonardo da Vinci: a great painter of his timeD. Leonardo da Vinci: designer and creator of machinesCCollecting and writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time. So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called secondary sources. For example, when we read about the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading a secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died.When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source (because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or the USA is the primary source (because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who also act as primary sources by giving us pictures of events.In a newspaper the position is different because these two roles are oftencombined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him or her is still a primary source.It is important to separate primary and secondary sources because they can help us to decide what is true. A primary source is more likely to be true than a secondary one because he/she can give us facts (what happened) rather than opinions (what he/she thinks happened).28.If you want to study Julius Caesar, a Roman leader, which one is a primary source?A. Life of Julius Caesar (100 BC - 44BC),a book written by Plutarch from Greece between 46 AD and 120 AD.B. The Gallic Wars (57 BC - 52 BC), a book written by Caesar from Rome in 50s BC.C. Julius Caesar, a play written by Shakespeare from Britain in 1599.D. Julius Caesar, a movie directed by Uli Edel in 2002.29.According to the text, which one is NOT true?A. The person presenting a car accident in the studio is a secondary source.B. The person taking some pictures of a car accident is a secondary source.C. The person writing about a car accident on the newspaper is a secondary source.D. The person commenting on a car accident on TV is a secondary source.30.What does the underlined word “investigates” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. looks intoB. accounts forC. remarks uponD. writes of31.What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Primary sources are more important than secondary sources.B. A secondary source cannot tell us the truth.C. A secondary source will have more facts than opinions.D. Separating primary and secondary sources is of great significance.D“It’s not looking too good, darling. I think you’d better pack a few things and go to your mother’s place. And you’d better take Rosie and Monty with you.”Putting down the phone, Sara sighed. Tomorrow was her husband Tony’s birthday. She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprised him with the new mountain bike she’d bought for him. If she went to her mother’s house, Tony wouldn’t get the present for days.However, her mother’s house was the best place to be right now. Being on higher land, it would be safe from the floods. It had been raining heavily for almost twoweeks and the river near Sara and Tony’s house was rising higher and higher all the time. Tony and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing. Now they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded.Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things she would need for him over the next few days. She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty, the cat. It took her a long time, but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed. She placed him in his cat basket and took him into the kitchen where James and the dog, Rosie, waited.Just was she was reaching for the car keys, Sara heard the sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug(插头). She looked at the back door. Water was flowing in underneath. Turning around she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain(下水道) and filling the sink(水槽). Quickly she put James into her backpack and pulled it onto her back. Calling to Rosie, she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front house and out into the front garden.The water was already up to her knees. Rosie was swimming beside her. Knowing the water would soon be much deeper, Sara ran to the car and opened the doors. She threw the cat basket onto the roof of the car and pushed Rosie up beside it. Using the car seat as a step she climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof. James, safely attached to her back, made no sound at all. Sara stared down at the water which was rushing past the car. It was already half way up the doors, and still rising.32.Who is James?A. Tony’s son.B. Sara’s dog.C. Sara’s husband.D. Tony’s dog.33.Why did Tony ask Sara to pack something and leave for her mother’s house?A. Because he wouldn’t be hom e for a long time.B. Because he was afraid that their house would be flooded soon.C. Because tomorrow was his birthday and they would hold a party together.D. Because Sara’s mother’s house was the much better and nicer.34.Which of the following statements is true?A. Sara was cooking Tony a good meal when he phoned her.B. Sara put Monty and Rosie into a basket before leaving the house.C. Hearing the noise of the flood, James cried loudly.D. Sara failed to escape and was trapped by the flood.35.Which topic is most probably this passage related to?A. The power of nature.B. Global warming.C. First aid.D. Family life.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。
