While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santa’s lap to rejoin his family. But a few moments later, he raced back to Santa`s side：he’d forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism（自闭症）would land him on the “naughty list”.His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he’s “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when you’re at the grocery store if he’s too loud,” Johnson said. “He’s been told by other people before, ‘You don’t need to be so naughty,’ or, ‘Why are you naughty？’”Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon’s worries, and held the boy’s hands all the while. “Santa sat him next to him and took Landon’s hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism？Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn’t. It shouldn’t bother him to be who he is,” Johnson said.Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and it’s hard for people to understand that he has autism,” but that he’s “not a naughty boy”.“You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it’s OK. You’re a good boy,” Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon. “You’re a good boy, you know.”Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa’s thoughtful words. “This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a whilenow--that he’s special and I love him just the way he was made,” the mom told . “Seeing Landon’s face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldn’t stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”24.What did Landon do after he raced back to Santa？A. He shared Christmas desires with Santa.B. He checked if he was the real Santa Claus.C.

Don’t stay with naughty boys.CWhen kids hit puberty（青春期），their bodies and minds go through tons of changes, including the larynx, the voice box in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice. You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations（震动）under your fingers, you’ve found it!When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what’s called an Adam’s apple. Everyone’s larynx grows during puberty, but a girl’s larynx doesn’t grow as much as a boy’s does. That’s why boys have Adam’s apples. Most girls don’t have Adam’s apples, but some do.But why is it called an Adam’s apple？ If you think it’s called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, you’re right. An Adam’s apple sometimes looks like a small, rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.This large larynx also gives boys deeper voices. Actually, girls’ voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger, too. But because boys’ larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls’ voices.The larynx doesn’t grow to its new size overnight, though. If you’ve ever heard a teenage boy’s voice sound squeaky（发短促尖叫声的）, you’ve heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!28.Who has Adam’s apples after puberty？A. All kids.B. Most girls.C. Most boys.D. Boys.29.What makes a person’s voice deeper？A. The size of the larynx.B. The length of puberty.C. The amount of body changes.D. The shape of one’s throat.30.Which of the following is true about the larynx？A. The larynx comes after Adam’s apples.B. The larynx grows gradually in one’s teens.C. The larynx grows the moment a person is born.D. The larynx is a piece of apple stuck in the throat.31.What’s mainly talked about in the text？A. Where an Adam’s apples exists.B. What an Adam’s apples is.C. When teenagers have their puberty.D. How squeaky a teenage boy’s voice sounds.DA group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren’t left out on the playground. Calledthe “Buddy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple：Students who want to partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies（表明）to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell, school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students’ proposal and installed（安装）a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the school’s playground.Since it was installed on Nov.16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with（引起共鸣）the students, and already has created a better environment within the school community.“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,” Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.”32.Who is Buddy Bench created for？A. Students who love games and activities.B. Students who want and continue to be kind.C. Students who are left out on the playground.D. Students who are in Farrell’s leadership group.33.Who thought of the idea for the Buddy Bench？A. Farrell.B. Four students.C. The PTSO.D. Some parents.34.What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to？A. The PTSO.B. Buddy Bench users.C. The workshop members.D. Farrell and teachers.35..Which of the following statement can show “the bench has been effective”？A. More and more creative ideas have come up.B. The workshop kids have set a good example.C. The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.D. Some shy students have found friends on the playground..第二节If someone says you are smart, what do they mean？ 36 The answer is not as easy as you might think. This is because the word smart has many meanings.For example, someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly, 37 To use a slang expression（俚语）, they could say, “You look really cool!”38 If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you might shout, “Wow! That smarts!” If you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means a sharp pain.39 If someone is smart as a whip（鞭）, they are able to think very quickly.However, different people have different ways of being smart. Some people are considered street smart. They may not have a strong education. But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. Other people might be book smart. 40 But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.A.Is it a good thing or something bad？B.This means they have spend many years in school.C.In fact, maybe that person is no longer your friend.D.But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent.E.That means they like what you are wearing and your physical appearance.F.In fact, a child who has a smart mouth makes rude comments, not smart ones.G.But if something smarts, if can be unkind or hurtful, either physically or mentally.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空Anson Lemmer, a 19-year-old from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, was on his last pizza delivery 41 of the night, on June 15, when he arrived at a 42 house and found a man lying on the ground 43 , according to the Post Independent.The teen swung into action and 44 CPR（心肺复苏）,eventually saving the man, who began walking around soon after, 9News reported.

For example, a group of neighbors may gather on their street to eat food, play music and visit with one another. This is called a block party. A woman might invite a group of women to a party called a baby shower for a friend who is about to give birth. Guests bring presents for the new baby.Americans also attend tailgate parties. A tailgate is the back end of a truck or other vehicle that opens down. The tailgate parties are a big part of sports culture in the United States. Friends bring food and drink to a sports event. They eat together in the parking area of the sports stadium.Birthday parties are also very popular. Many parents organize a party for their child around a theme. Birthday parties usually include gifts and a birthday cake with candles. In many parts of the United States, cupcakes have become a popular replacement for cakes. Birthday parties can be low cost or very costly. Some parents take their children’s birthday parties very seriously, even when the child is too young to fully understand the celebration. One group of parents started a website called Birthdays Without Pressure. They decided that some parents were under too much social pressure to plan costly parties for their children. The group sees this movement as an example of America’s culture of “too much stuff”.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area ofa city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area． Not all historical buildings areattractive． However, there may be other reasons﹣﹣﹣ for example, economic reasons﹣﹣﹣why they should be preserved． So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people． What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an olderstyle． Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings． As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate （影响） its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area．It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too． Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas． I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative （保守的）and do not like change．Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to ________． If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves． Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice．（1）What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph？________A. Some of them are not attractive．B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve．C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings．D.

To explain why people dislike change．B. To warn that we could end up living in caves．C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings．D.

These shoes mean there is probably no food left in my house. These shoes mean noise and mess but laughter and music as well."When Duckworth returned from work and saw the shoes recently, they brought on a wave of sadness because she realized that things were changing. Most of the kids who wear the shoes have just graduated from high school and she realizes that time is precious in her 18th summer with her sons. She continues that she knows seeing the shoes in the house means that the kids are safe, but soon all the shoes will be "spread across college campuses "and she knows "all of these shoes might not find their way back home next summer as life takes them on new adventures."The time might be bittersweet, but Duckworth wants to focus on creating happy memories rather than focusing on the sadness that could come. She is going to be thankful for the shoes and enjoy every moment with the kids.The sentimental post generated a massive amount of interest with it being shared over 88,000 times in a week and receiving 14,000 comments. Duckworth was touched by the comments and how the story resonated(共鸣) with so many . She responds," What a gift you all have given me in knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. Motherhood is hard, but w are all in this together!"24. What do the shoes mainly mean for Heather Duckworth?A. The messy but happy life.B. The tiring and disorderly family.C. The endless and hard housework .D. A lot of household responsibility.25. What change will happen to Heather Duckworth?A. She will be trapped in a financial crisis.B. Some of her children will leave her.C. The kids will not be safe any longer .D. Herchildren won't love her as before.26. What can we learn about the comments on Heather Duck worth's post?A. They are made mainly by mothers.B. Most readers disagree with her opinion at all.C. Many mothers have the same experience as hers.D. Many people are interested in placing shoes properly.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Children's ShoesB. Live More HappilyC. The Hard MotherhoodD. A Hot Post for MothersCLiving in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive influence on people's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green space had a lasting positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety." There could be a number of reasons," he said," for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they try hard for promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with all those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery(彩票) winners who had won more than $500,000the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline."Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey by the University of Essex.Explaining what the data revealed, he said:" What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many of the other things that we think will make us happy." He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive influence on human well-being. Dr. White said, "There's growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.28. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?A. Improve their work efficiency.B. Add to their lasting happiness.C. Help them build a positive attitude towards life.D. Lessen their concerns about material well-being.29. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?A. How it affects different people.B. How strong its effect is.C. How long its positive effect lasts.D. How it benefits physically.30. What did Dr. White research reveal about people living in a green environment?A. Their stress was more obvious than real.B. Their decisions required less consideration.C. Their memories were greatly strengthened .D. Their communication with others improved.31. According to Dr. White , what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities?A. Find financial support.B. Improve urban planning .C. Involve local residents in the effort.D. Raise public awareness of the issue.DIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources(资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has sets its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can public accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.32. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that _____.A. It makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it makes growth hard to continue33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.34. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can _____.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionsC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation（保护）35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC. To predict a change of the global marketD. To advocate sustainable development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。

But if you ask anyone in the MIT departments of Chemistry and Physics, or the News Office—the Institute divisions that are fortunate enough to have Greg Walton as their IT service provider, they’ll acknowledge that not only is Walton the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it through until all involved are satisfied with the outcome. Walton usually arrives on the scene with endless positive energy that transforms a technical annoyance into an enjoyable interaction, regardless of how many other IT fires he has already put out that day.The qualities that make him a star employee extend far beyond the campus. After spending his early years in foster care, Walton lived with his great-grandmother, but mostly, he was left to support himself. While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Walton excelled academically and athletically at high school. He became the first person in his family to graduate from high school, and enrolled in college.Walton seized the chance to enroll in Year Up, a program aiming to close the “opportunity divide” by providing young adults with the skills, experience, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through professional careers and higher education. Walton remains an active ambassador for the organization.In June of 2007,armed with shining recommendations, Walton was hired as a temp (临时工)at MIT.He eventually worked his way up to where he is today—an invaluable asset (不可或缺的人) to three departments.“I do feel lucky to work at MIT,” he says.“I’ve had the ability to tour the country sharing my story in hopes that some people may be inspired and employers may see young adults with tough backgrounds differently.”In addition to Year Up, he is involved with a number of organizations committed to helping young adults overcome their troubled pasts. This desire to have a positive impact on people’s lives extends seamlessly into his work at MIT. “Giving back is very important to me,” Walton says. “So many people have invested their time and energy into helping me, so I feel it would be an injustice not to do so.”4．Staff members in MIT sing high praise for Walton mainly because________.A．he enjoys interacting with his clientsB．he knows how to put out fires for othersC．he solves problems with a positive attitudeD．he is good at developing computer programs5．What do we know about Walton before he went to college?A．He depended on his great-grandma for a living.B．He stood out in study and sports in high school.C．He lay flat just like other unsupervised children.D．He was supported by foster care for better education.6．Why did Walton get involved with a lot of organizations?A．To share his troubled past with young adults.B．To pay back to society by helping young adults.C．To advise businesses to treat young adults fairly.D．To promote education equality among young adults.7．What can we conclude from Walton’s story?A．One good turn deserves another.B．Opportunities favor the prepared mind.C．Education is a powerful weapon to change the world.D．One’s future is defined by his efforts, not by his origin.Part of the reason American shoppers are so attracted to wholesale shopping is their belief that it not only prevents waste but can save time and money, providing more value for the dollar. However, recent research suggests that the opposite may be true.Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.”A common practice is to visit different stores for different items on a grocery list, “But people tend to overbuy at each of the places,” Ligon said. “People are not planning for the next day, but planning for the next week or two.”“In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said. “All of our food promotions are designed to get people to buy more. We believe it’s cheaper if we buy more now, but we rarely take into account how much we throw out in the end.”Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste. Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores. However, the study resulted in another troubling finding: The majority of people involved in the study had no idea that they were buying too much and wasting so much.“When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.”8．What do people often ignore when buying food in large quantities?A．How good the food is.B．How much will be wasted.C．How much the food costs.D．How often they should shop.9．What is the author’s attitude towards meal planning for the next two weeks?A．It is worth trying.B．It is not practical.C．It takes great effort.D．It is not good for health.10．What is the advantage of Amazon Fresh and Google Express?A．Food prices are lowered.B．Food waste is prevented.C．Food consumption is reduced.D．Food purchasing can be done at home. 11．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Shop More, Buy Less B．Shop Wisely, Eat WiselyC．Consume More, Waste Less D．The More You Shop, the More You WasteA new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men.Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.“It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich.Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.”“Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts toaddress the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause.12．How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders?A．Males are in the majority.B．Females take up a bit more than half.C．They are almost entirely awarded to females.D．They are evenly distributed between males and females.13．What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes?A．Doubtful.B．Tolerant.C．Uncaring.D．Disappointed.14．What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap?A．Establishing gender rates for awards.B．Increasing the number of female judges.C．Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields.D．Renaming or removing gender names from awards.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Achievements of women in scienceB．The role of men in the scientific worldC．Gender inequality in scientific awardsD．Future of gender equality in academiaWhen attending holiday parties, we are eager to help our hosts in the kitchen, with food and drink service, and with post-party cleanup, which sometimes causes more trouble and stress for a host. 16 Here’s what professional event planners recommend.Be sure to respond in a timely manner. 17 If the invitation asks you to respond, do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your attendance. Hosts who don’t want their guests to help out during the party can hint that all has been taken care of right on the invitation.18 Asking a host if you can assist on the event date can be overwhelming, but extending that offer while the host is still planning the party and putting the details together mayprove more useful. If you are someone who loves to help, contact the host in advance and offer your assistance. 19Don’t show up early. Respect the event’s start time and arrive on time or 5 minutes later than the time on the invitation. If the invitation says 7:15 pm, guests should arrive between 7:15 and 7:20.When the party is over, don’t stay. At the end of the evening, you can make one last offer to help the host tidy up the space. But if they refuse, don’t insist. 20 So it’s the guest’s responsibility to leave at an appropriate hour.A．Consider offering help to the host ahead of time.B．So what can you do to really help holiday hosts?C．Contact the host to know the details about the party.D．Many hosts are too polite to tell people it’s time to go.E．Being a good guest begins long before the party begins.F．This way, the host can know an extra pair of hands is available as needed.G．The invitation phase serves as a prime opportunity to clarify the event’s tone.二、完形填空I vividly remember the day when my husband and I set off on a new journey to Tanzania.

（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）AGreat Activities for Nature LoversHikingOne of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good o ld fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend or longer adventure? Backcountry Camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.Mountain and Road BikingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for rugged terrain（地形), consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.GardeningContrary to popular belief, you don’t have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility is restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. There’s something trul y satisfying about mixing up a saladwith fresh ingredients you grew yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn’t have to break your budget and anyone can do it.1.What does hiking need for hikers?A. A world map.B. A strong desire.C. Practical skills.D. Necessary equipment.2.Where will you go to show your survival potential in the wild?A. To a backyard.B. To a forest.C. To a mountain.D. To a distant place.3.What is the advantage of enjoying the natural beauty in your garden?A. It’s popular.B. It saves money.C. It’s adventurous.D. It saves time.BAudio digital (有声数字化)books are becoming more and more popular these years. One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be “read” in many places comfortably.The first favorite place for many people is in bed, before going to sleep. There are nights when a person would want to do nothing but lie in bed going over what has happened in the day. Many people like to just lie in bed in the dark before they fall asleep at night. This would be the perfect time to listen to an audio digital book. If you read an ordinary book, the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand. An audio book can just be listened to while a person stays comfortably in bed.The next favorite place to listen to audio digital books would be in the kitchen. For some people kitchen work is boring. Audio digital books provide good entertainment, and people don’t need to turn pages.An audio digital book is a favorite while a person is gardening. They can help take a person’s mind off job at hand. It can be fun and exciting to do gardening with the help of these books.Another great place would be while exercising. It allows the mind to be free while the legs, body and arms are kept busy. This would be a great place to listen to these books.The next favorite place would be while we are on the road to and from work on buses, trains or even on long flights. Audio digital books have become good companions and help us relaxed.4.What does the second paragraph mainly tells us?A. A favorite place to listen to audio digital books is in bed.B. It’s the perfect time to listen to an audio digital book at noon.C. You can listen to an audio digital book comfortably at home.D. You have to keep the lights on while reading ordinary books.5.Why do some people like listening to audio digital books in the kitchen?A. The kitchen is the best place to do this.B. It can help them avoid boredom.C. They can sing to the music.D. It can save power.6.Why does a person “read” an audio digital book while exercising?A. To lose weight easily.B. To keep his body busy.C. To relax his mind.D. To reduce pain quickly.7.Where does the text probably come from?A. An announcement.B. A book review.C. A guidebook.D. A science magazine.CIt used to be mostly the army that used small, unpiloted aircraft, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But as they have dropped in price, more people have begun to use them.The fast rate of development of computer technology, image sensing equipment, satellite navigation and smart phones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less costly drones. Nowadays, moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are also using them to watch over their crops.Romain Faroux is a French businessman, whose father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He has helped create a company which has developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground. It's call ed “Agridrone”. It uses a special sensor to examine crops. The technology used on the drone is similar to that used on a smart phone—except it has wings. A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands” of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is another farmer in France who is using a drone. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season and provides a lot of information about his crops. The pictures taken by the drone show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.Romain Faroux says farmers use information provided by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it is needed. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectares (英亩) in about a minute.8.Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones?A. Because they are affordable now.B. Because their sizes have become smaller.C. Because they can save people a lot of time.D. Because the technology has been developed.9.What is the sensor on the drone mainly used for?A.Helping the sunlight shine on the crops.B. Directing the wings to fly over the crops.C. Examining the different colors of the crops.D. R ecording the sunlight “bands” reflected off the crops.10.W hat does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 proba bly refer to?A. A smart phone.B. A sensor.C. A drone.D. A band.11.What is the main idea of the text?A. Crops will be harvested by drones soon.B. Drones will be widely used in different fields.C. French farmers use drones to examine their crops.D. Farmers develop special drones for their crops.DPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati. Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered(驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1,1914.12.I n the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest population in the US13.The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution14.What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.15.What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

These shoes mean noise and mess but laughter and music as well."When Duckworth returned from work and saw the shoes recently, they brought on a wave of sadness because she realized that things were changing. Most of the kids who wear the shoes have just graduated from high school and she realizes that time is precious in her 18th summer with her sons. She continues that she knows seeing the shoes in the house means that the kids are safe, but soon all the shoes will be "spread across college campuses "and she knows "all of these shoes might not find their way back home next summer as life takes them on new adventures."The time might be bittersweet, but Duckworth wants to focus on creating happy memories rather than focusing on the sadness that could come. She is going to be thankful for the shoes and enjoy every moment with the kids.The sentimental post generated a massive amount of interest with it being shared over 88,000 times in a week and receiving 14,000 comments. Duckworth was touched by the comments and how the story resonated（共鸣） with so many . She responds," What a gift you all have given me in knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. Motherhood is hard, but w are all in this together!"24. What do the shoes mainly mean for Heather Duckworth？A. The messy but happy life.B. The tiring and disorderly family.C. The endless and hard housework .D. A lot of household responsibility.25. What change will happen to Heather Duckworth？A. She will be trapped in a financial crisis.B.

They are made mainly by mothers.B. Most readers disagree with her opinion at all.C. Many mothers have the same experience as hers.D. Many people are interested in placing shoes properly.27. What can be a suitable title for the text？A. The Children's ShoesB. Live More HappilyC. The Hard MotherhoodD. A Hot Post for MothersCLiving in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive influence on people's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green space had a lasting positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety." There could be a number of reasons," he said," for example, people do many things to make themselves happier：they try hard for promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with all those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery（彩票） winners who had won more than $500,000 the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline."Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey by the University of Essex.Explaining what the data revealed, he said:" What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many of the other things that we think will make us happy." He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive influence on human well-being. Dr. White said, "There's growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.28. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people？A. Improve their work efficiency.B. Add to their lasting happiness.C. Help them build a positive attitude towards life.D. Lessen their concerns about material well-being.29. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area？A. How it affects different people.B. How strong its effect is.C. How long its positive effect lasts.D. How it benefits physically.30. What did Dr. White research reveal about people living in a green environment？A. Their stress was more obvious than real.B. Their decisions required less consideration.C. Their memories were greatly strengthened .D. Their communication with others improved.31. According to Dr. White , what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities？A. Find financial support.B. Improve urban planning .C. Involve local residents in the effort.D. Raise public awareness of the issue.DIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources（资源）, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable（可持续的）ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has sets its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil（棕榈油）, which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions（排放）and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can public accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one. The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.32. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that _____.A. It makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it makes growth hard to continue33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2？A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.34. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can _____.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionsC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation（保护）35. What is the main purpose of the passage？A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC. To predict a change of the global marketD. To advocate sustainable development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。

I wrote my first poem sitting in the corner of my bedroom, surrounded by toys. I was 7 or 8 and the poem was for my best friend who had moved away. I was angry with him for being willing to leave me, and when I get angry, I get mean. I figured his leaving would be easier to face, if I pushed him away first. But as soon as the moving truck pulled away, I realized how foolish I'd been.So I wrote him a poem to apologize. The poem was terrible, of course, but with it, a lifelong love affair began --- not with the boy who moved away, but with the written word.As an adult, I'd write poems about playing kickball in the parking lot of those Ensley apartment blocks, and poems about trips to see the candy lady and to the corner store. When people ask me where in Birmingham I grew up, I sometimes say "Everywhere". We moved around a lot and the neighborhoods of Birmingham find their way into so much of what I write.I had to leave Birmingham to learn how to tell true stories in prose〔散文〕. After college in Alabama and graduate school in Berkeley, California, I moved to Kentucky to be a newspaper reporter. My skill at writing personal essays landed me my own column〔专栏〕and the chance to be included in a collection of essays published by Seal Press.Then I came home.In her book Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg writes, "It is very important to go home if you want your work to be whole…you must claim where you come from and look deep into it. Come to honor and embrace it, or at the least, accept it."Now in Birmingham, I get to share my story in local magazines and on my blog. And I build my story through every friendship formed in this city of steel, sweat, and sweet tea.4.Ensley is the name of a ______ .A. toyB. boyC. placeD. store5.What does Para. 5 tell us about the author？A. She enjoys traveling very much.B. She prefers poetry to news reports.C. She gave up writing poems after college.D. She made some achievements in writing.6.Why does the author mention Natalie Goldberg's words？A. To prove they had similar interests.B. To show her love for Natalie Goldberg.C. To explain why she returned to Birmingham.D. To introduce Natalie Goldberg's book to readers.7.What is the text mainly about？A. Writing changes my life.B. Home is where your story is.C. Moving around makes me a poet.D. Childhood friendship is a source of writingCErik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr.Paul Gauthier,a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas aboutvertical farming．Humans have 12，000 years of experience growing food,but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors.We are still progressing up the technology learning curve 〔学习曲线).What's more,traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming．Therefore，without taking time to understand the science,vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises． The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome.Dr.Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as " pie-in-the-sky" businesses． He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if crops are farmed indoors—the cost is too high.Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis 〔光合作用〕，so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light．Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high， vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas.Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again.Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary.It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society．The future is probably mixed.In some environments--the Middle East，for instance--a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer.An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance， can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland． In other geographies， though， the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability． A large vertical farming and equipment operation only started generatinga small profit eight years into its nine - year life．8.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2？A. It will replace traditional farming one day．B. It relies on research of more basic science．C. It can be applicable on different conditions．D. It actually came into being 12，000 years ago．9.What does Dr.Albright think of vertical farms？A. They use less light than traditional ones．B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed．C. They can overcome many problems in farming．D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer．10.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning．B. The secrets of developing vertical farming．C. The recent trend of vertical farming．D. The benefits of vertical farming．11.Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned？A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places．B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia．C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high．D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer．DFacial recognition technology has been already widely used by governments and some advertising companies. The technology uses machine learning tools to search for faces in an attempt to identify people.In a recent study, scientists announced they had developed machine learning tools to track the faces of individual wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩). Dan Schofield said that the system was developed to improve the quality of information collected about chimpanzees in the wild over a long period of time."For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting a snapshot of their behavior from short-term field research can tell us only so much," Schofield said.The researchers wanted to get a more complete understanding of the lives of the chimpanzees by studying them over several generations. But doing this would have required searching through hundreds of hours of video recordings of chimpanzees in the wild.The researchers recorded the activities of a group of chimpanzees that lived in the West African nation of Guinea. A facial recognition computer model was trained withmore than 10 million images of the animals. The model was then used to search for, recognize and track individual chimpanzees. The system was able to identify individual chimpanzees correctly about 92 percent of the time. It successfully identified the animals' sex 96 percent of the time.The study included an experiment with humans to see how they could perform against the machine learning system in making identification. Humans were able to correctly identify individual chimpanzees about 42 percent of the time. The machine learning tool was much faster in completing the experiment. Human experts took about 55 minutes, while the computer took only several seconds.The researchers say they are permitting other scientists to use the system for similar projects. They hope the method will be used for other species to record animal behavior and monitor different animal populations in the environment.12.What can we infer from Schofield's words?A. Researching chimpanzees needs more information.B. Chimpanzees can live as long as humans.C. Chimpanzees like to get a snapshot too.D. Short-term field research provides more information.13.What does the underlined word "this" refer to?A. Recording chimpanzees in the wild.B. Studying chimpanzees over several years.C. Understanding the lives of chimpanzees completely.D. Getting a snapshot of chimpanzees' behavior.14.What did the experiment with humans prove in the study?A. Humans make more accurate identification.B. The machine learning system is more effective.C. Humans can't identify the animals' sex correctly.D. Machine learning tools take a little more time to identify the animals.15.What is the best title for the text?A. Facial Recognition for Animals Is Becoming Popular.B. Facial Recognition Is Helping Animals Live in the Wild.C. Facial Recognition Plays a Role in Raising Animals.D. Facial Recognition Is Used to Identify and Track Animals.第二节〔共5小题;每题2分，总分值10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正确选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii, a toy dinosaur and a remote controlcar, Landon hopped off Santa’s lap to rejoin his family. But a few moments later, he raced back to Santa`s side: he’d forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically, Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism（自闭症）would land him on the “naughty list”.His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he’s “naughty”by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior. “You get the stares when you’re at the grocery store if he’s too loud,”Johnson said. “He’s been told by other people before, ‘You don’t need to be so naughty,’ or, ‘Why are you naughty?’”Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon’s worries, and held the boy’s hands all the while. “Santa sat him next to him and took Landon’s hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn’t. It shouldn’t bother him to be who he is,” Johnson said.Landon told Santa that he sometimes “gets in trouble at school and it’s hard for people to understand that he has autism,” but that he’s “not a naughty boy”.“You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it’s OK. You’re a good boy,”Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon. “You’re a good boy, you know.”Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa’s thoughtful words. “This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a while now--that he’s special and I love him just the way he was made,”the mom told . “Seeing Landon’s face light up in that moment was just incredible. I couldn’t stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”24.What did Landon do after he raced back to Santa?A. He shared Christmas desires with Santa.B. He checked if he was the real Santa Claus.C.

You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations（震动）under your fingers, you’ve found it!When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what’s called an Adam’s apple. Everyone’s larynx grows during puberty, but a girl’s larynx doesn’t grow as much as a boy’s does. That’s why boys have Adam’s apples. Most girls don’t have Adam’s apples, but some do.But why is it called an Adam’s apple? If you think it’s called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, you’re right. An Adam’s apple sometimes looks like a small, rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.This large larynx also gives boys deeper voices. Actually, girls’voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger, too. But because boys’ larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls’ voices.The larynx doesn’t grow to its new size overnight, though. If you’ve ever heard a teenage boy’s voice sound squeaky（发短促尖叫声的）, you’ve heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!28.Who has Adam’s apples after puberty?A. All kids.B. Most girls.C. Most boys.D. Boys.29.What makes a person’s voice deeper?A. The size of the larynx.B. The length of puberty.C. The amount of body changes.D.

The larynx grows the moment a person is born.D. The larynx is a piece of apple stuck in the throat.31.What’s mainly talked about in the text?A. Where an Adam’s apples exists.B. What an Adam’s apples is.C. When teenagers have their puberty.D. How squeaky a teenage boy’s voice sounds.DA group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren’t left out on the playground. Called the “Buddy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want to partake inplayground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies（表明）to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell, school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staf f Organization to make the bench a reality. The PTSO approved the students’ proposal and installed（安装）a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the school’s playground.Since it was installed on Nov.16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with（引起共鸣）the students, and already has created a better environment within the school community.“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,”Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire li ves. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.”32.Who is Buddy Bench created for?A. Students who love games and activities.B. Students who want and continue to be kind.C. Students who are left out on the playground.D. Students who are in Farrell’s leadership group.33.Who thought of the idea for the Buddy Bench?A. Farrell.B. Four students.C. The PTSO.D. Some parents.34.What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The PTSO.B. Buddy Bench users.C. The workshop members.D. Farrell and teachers.35..Which of the following statement can show “the bench has been effective”?A. More and more creative ideas have come up.B. The workshop kids have set a good example.C. The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.D. Some shy students have found friends on the playground..第二节If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? 36 The answer is not as easy as you might think. This is because the word smart has many meanings.For example, someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly, 37 To use a slang expression（俚语）, they could say, “You look really cool!”38 If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you might shout, “Wow! That smarts!” If you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means a sharp pain.39 If someone is smart as a whip（鞭）, they are able to t hink very quickly.However, different people have different ways of being smart. Some people are considered street smart. They may not have a strong education. But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. Other people might be book smart.40 But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.A.Is it a good thing or something bad?B.This means they have spend many years in school.C.In fact, maybe that person is no longer your friend.D.But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent.E.That means they like what you are wearing and your physical appearance.F.In fact, a child who has a smart mouth makes rude comments, not smart ones.G.But if something smarts, if can be unkind or hurtful, either physically or mentally.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空Anson Lemmer, a 19-year-old from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, was on his last pizza delivery 41 of the night, on June 15, when he arrived at a 42 house and found a man lying on the ground 43 , according to the Post Independent.The teen swung into action and 44 CPR（心肺复苏）,eventually saving the man, who began walking around soon after, 9News reported.
