B If you've lost a pet,you have likely encountered Rainbow Bridge-a simple but moving poem about a pet's death and the promise of reunion with animal friends. Copies of the poem are given to heartbroken clients by animal hospitals;references appear on social media for sad pet parents. For all the millions of lives Rainbow Bridge has touched,though,the author of the poem has remained unknown-until now.She is Edna Clyne-Rekhy,an 82-year-old Scottish artist and animal lover.Until recently,she had no idea that the poem she wrote over 60 years ago--to the memory of her dog-had brought comfort to so many others. Clyne-Rekhy's authorship likely would have been lost to history,were it not for the efforts of Paul Koudounaris,an author and cat owner in Arizona.Koudounaris frequently encountered references to Rainbow Bridge while he was working on a book about pets. The poem's popularity,he discovered,was launched in February 1994,when a reader of the advice column Dear Abby sent a copy of the poem to the editor."If you print this, you'd better warn your readers to get out their handkerchiefs,"the reader wrote.Abby did print the poem,but she also pointed out that the author's name was regrettably missing,"If anyone in my audience knows the author,please let me know. 英语试题第4页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 No one came forward,but after that,Rainbow Bridge seemed to be everywhere. Starting in 1995,Koudounaris found records of 15 separate claims filed under the title Rainbow Bridge with the United States Copyright Office.He made a list of around 25 names he found with any connection to the poem,and looked into each and crossed them off until just one was left:Edna Clyne-Rekhy. When Koudounaris finally reached Clyne-Rekhy in January and asked if she was the author of Rainbow Bridge,her first response,she says,was "How on earth did you find me!?” 24.Why did Clyne-Rekhy write Rainbow Bridge? A.To comfort sad pet owners. B.To remember her dead dog. C.To thank an animal hospital. D.To make herself well-known. 25.Who first recommended Rainbow Bridge to the public? A.Clyne-Rekhy. B.Abby. C.Koudounaris. D.A column writer. 26.How did Clyne-Rekhy feel when she was found by Koudounaris? A.Inspired. B.Frightened. C.Depressed. D.Surprised. 27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Affection for Pets Paid off-What Luck! B.A Poet Rose to Fame Overnight-How She Made It? C.A Poem Comforts Millions of Pet Owners-Who Wrote It? D.Lost Pets Return in Another Way-What an Amazing Thing! C In the 1960s,Stanford professor Walter Mischel began conducting a series of psychological studies.During his experiment,Mischel and his team tested hundreds of children around the ages of 4 and 5 and revealed what is now believed to be one of the most important characteristics for success in life. The experiment began by bringing each child into a private room,sitting them down in a chair,and placing a marshmallow in front of them.The researcher offered a deal to the child:if the child didn't eat the marshmallow after he left the room,they would be rewarded with another marshmallow.If the child decided to eat the first one,then they wouldn't get another one.The choice was simple:one treat right now or two treats later 英语试题第5页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 The researcher left the room for 15 minutes.The video of the children waiting alone in the room was rather entertaining.Some kids ate the first marshmallow as soon as the researcher left.Others appeared restless in their chairs as they tried to discipline themselves,but eventually gave in to temptation.Finally,some children did manage to wait the entire time. Published in 1972,this popular study became known as The Marshmallow Experiment,but the interesting part came years later. As the children grew up,the researchers conducted follow-up studies and tracked each child's progress in different areas.What they found was surprising.The children who were willing to delay gratification (and waited to receive the second marshmallow ended up having higher SAT scores,better responses to stress,better social skills,and generally better scores in various other life measures. The researchers followed each child for more than 40 years and again and again, the group who waited patiently till the end succeeded in whatever capacity they were measuring.In other words,this experiment proved that the ability to decide on the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction delay was critical for success in life.And that's exactly what delayed gratification is all about. 28.What were the kids asked to do in the experiment? A.Shoot a video for it. B.Keep patient alone in the room. C.Control the desire to eat the marshmallow. D.Wait for the researcher to collect the marshmallow. 29.What does the underlined word "temptation"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.The reward. B.The researcher. C.The private room. D.The first marshmallow. 30.What's paragraph 5 mainly about? A.What affects children's decision-making. B.How delayed gratification benefits children. C.What changes will occur in children's growth. D.How researchers conducted follow-up studies. 31.In which section of a website may this text appear? A.Parenting. B.Health. C.Entertainment. D.Nature. 英语试题第6页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 D Shannon Murphy often walks down paths near her home in Denver,Colorado. One day she noticed something odd.Cheatgrass-a weed growing under streetlights- seemed much bigger and healthier than that growing elsewhere.As an ecologist, Murphy knew cheatgrass is a non-native species that has invaded (the American West.She thought that effects on this weed of light at night would make a great field study.And it did.She's part of a team that has now shown urban night lights boost the spread of this Western scourge. Cheatgrass was a great study subject.The plant,which is native to Africa,can absorb soil moisture (and nutrients from even dry soils.That makes it superbly adapted to dry areas.such as the American West.There it can outcompete most native plants.To date,it's already established itself over more than 100 million acres.And because this annual grass tends to turn dry early in the ycar,it makes a great fuel for Western wildfires. The team surveyed 53 paths in Denver.All had streetlights on wooden poles.The paths also had poles with no lights.The survey tested to sce where cheatgrass was more likely to grow-under streetlights,under unlit poles or in grassy areas between the poles. In all,the team studied surveyed areas in and around 512 poles.Those with streetlights were more than twice as likely to have cheatgrass growing under them as were unlit poles.In the grassy areas between poles,chcatgrass was even less common.These sites were only about a third as likely to have cheatgrass as areas under streetlights. "The findings were pretty clear.Still,there are more questions to be explored," says Murphy.For example,she would like to know why cheatgrass does better under streetlights."We're planning to grow some cheatgrass under streetlights and some not under streetlights."They will also harvest the weed from fields and paths."Then we'll work with a plant expert to figure out why it docs so well under streetlights." 32.What can we learn from paragraph 1? A.Cheatgrass is native to Colorado. B.Murphy saw the bright side of cheatgrass. C.Cheatgrass prefers growing under natural light. D.Murphy already knew cheatgrass before her study. 33.Why are "Western wildfires"mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To show one harm of cheatgrass. B.To prove the drought in the west. C.To present natural risks to cheatgrass.D.To introduce the factors affecting nature. 英语试题第7页（共12页） CS扫描全能王 34.How was Murphy's study carried out? A.By making comparisons. B.By interviewing the locals. C.By analysing previous data. D.By building real-life models. 35.What might Murphy's future study be about? A.Which problems need a plant expert to solve. B.What kind of places is resistant to cheatgrass. C.How to arrange streetlights more scientifically. D.Why streetlights boost the growth of cheatgrass. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。 Even if you're in a tough situation,taking advice can be really hard.Sometimes, though,an outside perspective (can help you make decisions.Just try to adjust your mindset in the following ways.
