I believe that we can use social media for a lot of great things and it’s important especially for business owners like me. Ever since I started my calligraphy business two years ago, I’ve never spent a day without going on social media, especially a kind of social app on my phone, on which I promoted my products and services and got in contact with possible customers.
Later I found it got in the way of more important things. I hate to say I was hooked by it, but I was. Every time I turned on my phone, I would dive into it. For a long time, I had been I ignoring other parts of my life, like my family, my friends and my happiness. One day, I was thinking that a break should have happened long before to me.
Then I decided to remove the app off my phone for a month and only use that on my computer to keep track of my business. I wanted a clean break to reflect and plan for the future.
I had believed that if I spent less time on the platform, I would miss out much. Actually, I was so wrong. During this month off, I realized there was much to enjoy in life. I found more time to enjoy my hobbies and contacted my good friends that I had lost touch with, I was refilled with energy in all aspects of my life.
This one month off the app on the phone was healthy for me. If it were not for my business, I would like not to have it on my phone. I downloaded the app again on my phone, but only used it to post my own content. I didn’t intend to paint social media in a negative light, but now I just don’t think the way I was using it was healthy. It’s difficult to find balance, but I’m going to try to do it anyway. I’m going back, but it’s going to be different.

D. The social app in the computer was more practical.
7. Why does the author decide to go back to social media?

C. He has confidence in balancing social media and life.
D. His friends ask him to communicate on social media.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of milkweed seedlings (马利筋草苗) so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis (茧) from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,000 milkweed seedlings to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because it’s the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows swamp milkweed. It is far less unruly (难以控制的) than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in N.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute.
Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot (盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that,” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbours. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad Nick Burchill. “Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
8. What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies?
A. Her monarch project. B. Her aunt’s suggestion.
C. Her research on the butterflies. D. Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
9. Why does Burchill plant swamp milkweed?
A. It is becoming endangered.
B. It widely grows in her hometown.
C. It is much safer than common milkweed.
D. It is recognised by the N.S. government.
10. What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action?
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
11. Which of the following can best describe Burchill?
A. Kind and helpful. B. Brave and honest.
C. Strict and creative. D. Careful and easygoing.
D
Movies and TV shows see dolphins as helpful, playful creatures. “The world loves a good dolphin story,” Blake Morton, a scientist who studies animal behavior, told TIME. “And I think one reason for that is we see a lot of ourselves reflected in their behavior.”
Morton used scientific methods to test this. The result of this work is a new report showing that humans and dolphins share certain personality traits (个性特点).
The study included 134 bottlenose dolphins in eight countries. Each dolphin was observed and rated by several people, using a “dolphin personality questionnaire (调查表).” The questionnaire had more than 40 items. It included adjectives such as “playful” and “intelligent”. Scientists gave every dolphin a score from 1 to 5 for each item, based on how well it described the animal’s behavior.
From these ratings, Morton and his team were able to find personality traits that are common in dolphins. The results show that dolphins and humans have some similar personality traits. Most obviously, the two species (物种) share traits related to curiosity and sociability.
Morton’s dolphin study and others like it help us learn about other species. But they also help us learn about ourselves. “My kind of work comes from the spirit of trying to understand what made humans the way we are,” Morton says. “One way we can do that is to compare our behavior to other species.”
Scientists around the world are researching different animal species. Their research raises important questions that future scientists will work to answer. “It’s all a big puzzle (迷宫),” Morton says. “It takes thousands of careful papers being printed before you start to see the puzzle coming together.” He compares scientific research to pointillism. That’s a painting style in which an artist makes a picture using lots of tiny dots (点). “If you take a step back and look at all those little single points of work,” Morton says, “you’ll see a big picture come into view.”
12. What did Morton’s dolphin study find?
A. Dolphins are more popular in TV shows than other animals.
B. Dolphins have personality traits very similar to humans.
C. Dolphins are helpful and playful creatures.
D Dolphins are more curious than humans.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of studying dolphin behavior.
B. Why Morton’s team created the questionnaire.
C. How Morton’s team carried out the study.
D. The methods of observing dolphins.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Finding the similarities between dolphins and humans.
B. Having a deeper understanding of humans.
C Protecting dolphins more scientifically.
D. Learning about other animals.
15. What does Morton intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Progress in science is made little by little.
B. Scientific research should be taken seriously.
C. Art plays an important role in scientific research.
D. Scientists around the world should work together.

“I will never forget you,” Meryl said to his pet dog with tears rolling down his cheek (脸颊). With his head leaning to one side, Thone watched his master, “Woof, woof! Woof, woof!” He wagged his tail back and forth, seeming to understand what Meryl was talking about.
“I can’t take care of myself anymore, let alone take care of you,” Meryl cleared his throat. “Soon, I’ll move to an old people’s home, and I’m sorry to say that you can’t come along. They don’t allow dogs there, you know.” “Don’t worry, my friend. I’ll find a nice new home for you. I’ve known the owners of the new home, and they like dogs very much,” Meryl added. “With your good looks, we’ll have no trouble at all. Anyone will be proud to own such a fine dog.”
Thone wagged his tail really hard and walked proudly up and down the kitchen floor. For a moment, the familiar delicious food gave him a feeling of happiness. But then a sense of fear struck again. Thone’s tail hung between his legs and he stood very still.
“Come here.” With great difficulty, Meryl knelt down on the floor and lovingly pulled Thone close to him. He tied a ribbon (丝带) around the dog’s neck with a huge red bow, and then he attached a note to it, which said “Happy New Year! My name is Thone. For breakfast, I like bacon and eggs — even corn will do. For dinner, I prefer mashed potatoes and some meat. That’s all. I eat just two meals a day. In return, I will be your most loyal friend.”
“Woof, woof! Woof, woof!” Thone was confused and his eyes begged. The old Meryl blew his nose into his handkerchief once more. Later, hanging on to a chair, he pulled himself up from the floor. He buttoned his overcoat, reached for the dog’s leash (皮带) and softly said, “Come here, my friend.” He opened the door against a wave of cold air and stepped outside, pulling the dog behind.
As they were walking in the empty street, dusk was beginning to fall.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

After a very long time, they stopped before a large house with tall trees in its front.

Through teary eyes, the old Meryl watched from behind the tree as the boy’s mother took the note.

I believe that we can use social media for a lot of great things and it’s important especially for business owners like me. Ever since I started my calligraphy business two years ago I’ve never spent a day without going on social media, especially a kind of social app on my phone, on which I promoted my products and services and got in contact with possible customers.
Later I found it got in the way of more important things. I hate to say I was hooked by it, but I was. Every time I turned on my phone, I would dive into it. For a long time, I had been I ignoring other parts of my life, like my family, my friends and my happiness. One day, I was thinking that a break should have happened long before to me.
Then I decided to remove the app off my phone for a month and only use that on my computer to keep track of my business. I wanted a clean break to reflect and plan for the future.
I had believed that if I spent less time on the platform, I would miss out much. Actually, I was so wrong. During this month off, I realized there was much to enjoy in life. I found more time to enjoy my hobbies and contacted my good friends that I had lost touch with, I was refilled with energy in all aspects of my life.
This one month off the app on the phone was healthy for me. If it were not for my business, I would like not to have it on my phone. I downloaded the app again on my phone, but only used it to post my own content. I didn’t intend to paint social media in a negative light, but now I just don’t think the way I was using it was healthy. It’s difficult to find balance, but I’m going to try to do it anyway. I’m going back, but it’s going to be different.

Vanessa Burchill, a 12-year-old Dartmouth, N. S. girl, is growing and giving away hundreds of milkweed seedlings (马利筋草苗) so endangered monarch butterflies have somewhere safe to land. Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis (茧) from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.
She’s now given out about 1,000 milkweed seedlings to people in Halifax through her Downtown Dartmouth Monarch Project. Her first group of milkweed this spring went in a matter of hours.
Monarch butterflies can’t survive without milkweed because it’s the only plant where they can lay their eggs. Burchill grows swamp milkweed. It is far less unruly (难以控制的) than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in N.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.
This year, Burchill’s growing season began in February with seeds from the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute.
Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot (盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens.
“When the monarchs finally appear from the chrysalis they need to be able to dry out their wings in the sun and when the plant doesn’t have full sun they can’t do that,” Burchill said.
Burchill has also started growing a butterfly garden in the park across the street from her house with the help of parents and neighbours. “We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad Nick Burchill. “Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”
Burchill has only seen a handful of monarchs visit her yard and she’s still waiting to see a caterpillar on the milkweed. But she knows what she did is paying off when she sees the endangered butterflies visiting gardens she helps grow.
8. What encouraged Burchill to save the monarch butterflies?
A. Her monarch project. B. Her aunt’s suggestion.
C. Her research on the butterflies. D. Her experience in her aunt’s garden.
9. Why does Burchill plant swamp milkweed?
A. It is becoming endangered.
B. It widely grows in her hometown.
C. It is much safer than common milkweed.
D. It is recognised by the N.S. government.
10. What is the attitude of Burchill’s father towards her action?
A. Uninterested. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
11. Which of the following can best describe Burchill?
A. Kind and helpful. B. Brave and honest.
C. Strict and creative. D. Careful and easygoing.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Her plan to save the monarch butterflies began about three years ago when her aunt showed her a chrysalis from her garden. She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.(她拯救帝王蝶的计划始于大约三年前,当时她的姑姑给她看了花园里的一只蝶蛹。她惊奇地看到一只蝴蝶出现了,它擦干了翅膀)”可知,在姑姑花园的经历促使Burchill去拯救帝王蝶。故选D。
9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Burchill grows wetland milkweed. It is far less controllable than common milkweed, its cousin. Common milkweed is considered a harmful weed in U.S. It is often killed by people with chemicals.(Burchill种植湿地马利筋。它远不如普通的马利筋(马利筋的表亲)可控。普通马利筋在美国被认为是一种有害的杂草,它经常被人用化学物质杀死)”可知,Burchill要种植湿地马利筋是因为它比普通马利筋安全得多。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““We’re very proud of her and she’s quite focused,” said her dad, Nick Burchill. ‘‘Hopefully, it will create a nice pathway for monarchs.”(“我们为她感到骄傲,她很专注,”她父亲Nick Burchill说。“希望这将为帝王蝶创造一条良好的道路。”) ”可推知,Burchill的父亲对她的行为持支持态度。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“She watched in wonder as a butterfly appeared and made its wings dry.(她惊奇地看到一只蝴蝶出现了,它擦干了翅膀)”说明Burchill很善良。文章第五段讲到“Anyone can message her on Facebook to pick up a pot (盆) of milkweed for free. Each pot has four small plants that people are encouraged to put in a sunny place in their gardens. (任何人都可以在脸书上给她发信息免费获得一盆马利筋草。每个花盆有四种小植物,鼓励人们把它们放在花园里阳光充足的地方。)”可知,Burchill乐于助人。因此Burchill善良且乐于助人。故选A。

Movies and TV shows see dolphins as helpful, playful creatures. “The world loves a good dolphin story,” Blake Morton, a scientist who studies animal behavior, told TIME. “And I think one reason for that is we see a lot of ourselves reflected in their behavior.”
Morton used scientific methods to test this. The result of this work is a new report showing that humans and dolphins share certain personality traits (个性特点).
The study included 134 bottlenose dolphins in eight countries. Each dolphin was observed and rated by several people, using a “dolphin personality questionnaire (调查表).” The questionnaire had more than 40 items. It included adjectives such as “playful” and “intelligent”. Scientists gave every dolphin a score from 1 to 5 for each item, based on how well it described the animal’s behavior.
From these ratings, Morton and his team were able to find personality traits that are common in dolphins. The results show that dolphins and humans have some similar personality traits. Most obviously, the two species (物种) share traits related to curiosity and sociability.
Morton’s dolphin study and others like it help us learn about other species. But they also help us learn about ourselves. “My kind of work comes from the spirit of trying to understand what made humans the way we are,” Morton says. “One way we can do that is to compare our behavior to other species.”
Scientists around the world are researching different animal species. Their research raises important questions that future scientists will work to answer. “It’s all a big puzzle (迷宫),” Morton says. “It takes thousands of careful papers being printed before you start to see the puzzle coming together.” He compares scientific research to pointillism. That’s a painting style in which an artist makes a picture using lots of tiny dots (点). “If you take a step back and look at all those little single points of work,” Morton says, “you’ll see a big picture come into view.”
12. What did Morton’s dolphin study find?
A. Dolphins are more popular in TV shows than other animals.
B. Dolphins have personality traits very similar to humans.
C. Dolphins are helpful and playful creatures.
D. Dolphins are more curious than humans.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of studying dolphin behavior.
B. Why Morton’s team created the questionnaire.
C. How Morton’s team carried out the study.
D. The methods of observing dolphins.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Finding the similarities between dolphins and humans.
B. Having a deeper understanding of humans.
C. Protecting dolphins more scientifically.
D. Learning about other animals.
15. What does Morton intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Progress in science is made little by little.
B. Scientific research should be taken seriously.
C. Art plays an important role in scientific research.
D. Scientists around the world should work together.

主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study included 134 bottlenose dolphins in eight countries. Each dolphin was observed and rated by several people, using a “dolphin personality questionnaire (调查表).” The questionnaire had more than 40 items. It included adjectives such as “playful” and “intelligent”. Scientists gave every dolphin a score from 1 to 5 for each item, based on how well it described the animal’s behavior.(这项研究包括8个国家134只宽吻海豚。每只海豚都由几个人进行观察和评分,使用的是“海豚性格问卷”问卷共有40多个项目。它包括“好玩”和“聪明”等形容词。科学家们给每只海豚的每个项目打分从1分到5分,这是基于它对动物行为的描述程度。)”可知,第三段主要介绍了Morton及其成员是如何开展这一海豚研究的,故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I will never forget you,” Meryl said to his pet dog with tears rolling down his cheek (脸颊). With his head leaning to one side, Thone watched his master, “Woof, woof! Woof, woof!” He wagged his tail back and forth, seeming to understand what Meryl was talking about.
“I can’t take care of myself anymore, let alone take care of you,” Meryl cleared his throat. “Soon, I’ll move to an old people’s home, and I’m sorry to say that you can’t come along. They don’t allow dogs there, you know.” “Don’t worry, my friend. I’ll find a nice new home for you. I’ve known the owners of the new home, and they like dogs very much,” Meryl added. “With your good looks, we’ll have no trouble at all. Anyone will be proud to own such a fine dog.”
Thone wagged his tail really hard and walked proudly up and down the kitchen floor. For a moment, the familiar delicious food gave him a feeling of happiness. But then a sense of fear struck again. Thone’s tail hung between his legs and he stood very still.
“Come here.” With great difficulty, Meryl knelt down on the floor and lovingly pulled Thone close to him. He tied a ribbon (丝带) around the dog’s neck with a huge red bow, and then he attached a note to it, which said “Happy New Year! My name is Thone. For breakfast, I like bacon and eggs — even corn will do. For dinner, I prefer mashed potatoes and some meat. That’s all. I eat just two meals a day. In return, I will be your most loyal friend.”
“Woof, woof! Woof, woof!” Thone was confused and his eyes begged. The old Meryl blew his nose into his handkerchief once more. Later, hanging on to a chair, he pulled himself up from the floor. He buttoned his overcoat, reached for the dog’s leash (皮带) and softly said, “Come here, my friend.” He opened the door against a wave of cold air and stepped outside, pulling the dog behind.
As they were walking in the empty street, dusk was beginning to fall.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After a very long time, they stopped before a large house with tall trees in its front. An idea came to Meryl. He gave up the original plan and tied Thone to the tree, giving him the usual delicious food. The moment Thone was busy enjoying his dinner, Meryl ran away, hid behind a tree and looked at him with watery eyes. Minutes later, Thone looked back but couldn’t find his owner “Woof, woof! Woof, woof!” Then the door opened and a young lady came out with a little boy following her.
Through teary eyes, the old Meryl watched from behind the tree as the boy’s mother took the note. After reading the note, the lady raised and looked around but couldn’t find anyone, so she gently took Thone into her house as if saying something kind to him. Seeing this, the old Meryl wiped his eyes with the cold sleeve of his coat with a big smile. Then he disappeared into the night, whispering, “Goodbye, my dear friend. This will be a nice home for you.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开,讲述了Meryl因为要前往老人院不得不离开爱犬的故事,离开前Meryl为自己的爱犬寻找到一户人家。
