For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on.
While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery.
The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.
Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.”
In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.”
In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one.
19. What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line?
A. She felt herself struggling. B. She was far behind others.
C. She fell down all of a sudden. D. She was interrupted by Avery.
20. How did Avery react to the accident?
A. She ran the rest in place of Rich. B. She tried to call for help at once.
C. She helped Rich run to the finish line. D. She shouted encouraging words to Rich.
21. How did Rich feel about Avery’s response?
A. Doubtful. B. Content. C. Concerned. D. Expected.
22. What can be the best title for the text?
A A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race
B. A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream
C. A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake
D. A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream
【答案】19. A 20. C 21. B 22. A
【解析】

【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said.(Rich说,她的女儿在比赛快结束时接到一个电话后,就能感觉到她在挣扎。“她知道我在最后几英里里很挣扎,”Rich说)”可知,Rich在快要靠近终点线的时候感到自己在挣扎。故选A。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.(这一感人的时刻被拍了下来,并发布在社交媒体上。在视频中,Avery在她母亲接近终点时跑到她身边支持她。当Avery加入她并帮助她越过终点线时,Rich的脸上露出了笑容)”可知,面对妈妈Rich的情况,Avery帮助她跑到终点线。故选C。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her.(在视频中,看到女儿从人群中走出来和她在一起后,Rich的表情从疲惫变成了微笑)”可知,Rich在看到女儿加入自己跑马拉松后,不再疲惫,而是露出微笑。由此推知,她对女儿的反应感到很满足。故选B。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章报道了母亲Rich和女儿Avery之间的故事。作为一名母亲的Rich参加了马拉松比赛,在快接近终点线时体力不支,她的女儿Avery察觉到了她的感受,从人群中走出来加入她,陪她一同越过终点线,两人最后拥抱在一起,这样感人的时刻被视频记录下来,成为这场马拉松比赛中令人难忘的记忆。故A项“一个女儿为她的母亲加油,加入她的比赛”概括了故事的核心内容,最适合作为标题。故选A。
C
Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
23. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
24. What do researchers find through camera-traps?
A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors.
B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.
D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals.
25. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Characteristics. B. Populations. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
26. What is the possible significance of the discovery?
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C. Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
【答案】23. A 24. D 25. B 26. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了研究人员发现动物会使用一种特殊的树树脂作为药物来疗伤。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.(在其中一项日常研究中,研究人员观察到绢毛猴在树干上摩擦身体。起初,研究人员认为它们是在标记自己的领地,这是这种物种的常见行为。植物学专家后来证实,这棵树是一种以其药用特性而闻名的红檀香)”可知,绢毛猴要在树上摩擦自己是想要治疗疾病。故选A。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).(共观察到10种动物。对它们中的许多来说,这是第一次观察到类似于自我药物治疗的行为。更令人惊讶的是,一个物种会成对地在对方的皮毛上涂抹树脂。一般来说,这些物种似乎专门访问树来获取树脂,并从中受益,要么治愈伤口,要么击退寄生虫)”可知,研究人员通过隐藏的相机发现树脂可以用作一些动物的药。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句句意“It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.(这很可能是一种宝贵的资源,通过改善它们的健康状况来帮助物种保持它们的magnitude)”可知,此处指通过改善健康来保持该物种的数量,magnitude指“数量”,故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.(这一发现可能会对保护产生重要影响,因为一些树木的消失可能会影响一些动物的生存)”可知,这一发现的可能意义是有助于森林保护。故选C。
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
27. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
28. Who are opposed to the project?
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
29. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. D 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1991年9月7日,加拿大历史上损失最大的冰雹袭击了卡尔加里的南郊。因此,自1996年以来,一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质,使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。但是,在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心,“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处,宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.(因此,自1996年以来,一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质,使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下)”可知,这个项目的目标是防止冰雹的形成。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.(但是,在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心,“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处,宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走)”可知,艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”(查克·多斯韦尔是一位刚刚从俄克拉何马大学退休的研究科学家,他对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。“1999年,我在堪萨斯州亲眼目睹了由种子风暴细胞形成的重大龙卷风,”多斯韦尔博士说。“人工降雨会制造致命风暴还是减少顺风处的水分?当然,没有人真正知道,但是播种还在继续。”)”可推知,多斯韦尔博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了提示人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.(考虑到质疑的程度,斯廷旺德建议,“停止人工降雨是明智的。”在实践中,怀疑产生了相反的效果。由于缺乏有关其影响的科学证据,没有人成功地赢得了对人工降雨公司的诉讼。因此,私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下进行)”可推知,从最后一段我们能推断出人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选B。

And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
____33____ Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. ____34____ This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. ____35____ .
A. Unlike Western chess, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines, not in squares.

【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. C 35. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的象棋。
【31题详解】
根据上文“If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood.(如果你在夏天去中国的任何一个城市旅行,你会看到人们,大多数是穿着 T 恤的男人,坐在人行道上的阴凉处的矮椅子上,用大圆盘木头玩游戏)”描述了下象棋的景象,下文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period.(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国)”介绍象棋可以追溯到战国时代,所以空处应该指出这个游戏是象棋,D项“这个游戏叫象棋,一个普通人的游戏”符合逻辑关系。故选D。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China.(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国。虽然专家们对象棋的创造者以及它与西洋象棋的联系有不同的看法,但毫无疑问,到了唐代,象棋在中国已经成为一种流行的游戏)”介绍象棋在中国历史悠久,很受欢迎。这里是按时间顺序:战国时期—唐朝,所以空处应该按照时间讲唐朝之后的一个时期,象棋的发展情形。B项“在清朝时期,它的知名度增加了”符合时间逻辑关系。故选B。
【33题详解】
上一段“And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s ‘king’. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.(尽管象棋看起来与西方国际象棋有很大的不同,但在棋子的功能和游戏方式方面,象棋实际上非常相似。就像西洋象棋,游戏的目标是抓住其他玩家的‘王’。其实,在象棋里他只是个将军)”说明了中国象棋与西方象棋的相似之处,由下文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (西洋象棋和象棋的另一个很大的不同是,棋盘中间有一个很大的空地,象不能越过的。)”可知设空处应该阐述西洋象棋和象棋的一个不同之处,A选项“与西方国际象棋不同的是,棋子不是放在方格里,而是放在线的交叉点上”符合语意。故选A。
【34题详解】
根据上文“Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines. Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross.(与西方国际象棋不同,棋子不是放在正方形中,而是放在直线的交叉点上。象棋和西洋象棋的另一大区别是棋盘中间有一大块空白,象无法通过)”提到中国象棋中有个空间是象不能越过的;下文“This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. 这个空间指的是中国的一个地区,刘邦和项羽在那里进行了一场生死战)”提到这个空间就是刘邦和项羽打生死战的地方,所以空处应是对这个空间进行定义,C项“它被称为“楚河汉界””符合逻辑。故选C。
【35题详解】
根据上文“The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums.(这场战争的影响是如此之大,以至于“楚汉边界”已经成为一个隐喻,指的是两个敌对军队之间的任何边界。当今天的中国人看到这个名字在黑板上,战斗的画面浮现在他们的脑海中,仿佛被浓烟包围,能够听到战鼓的敲击声)”提到楚河汉界是一种隐喻,因此下象棋时棋盘也是个战场,人们看到这个名字就好像沉浸在硝烟四起、战鼓喧天的战争场面。F项“一场激烈的战斗即将在这个小棋盘上进行”符合逻辑。故选F。

61. 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
Last Sunday morning, my parents and I were going on a vacation in Sydney, where my grandparents lived, to celebrate my birthday. Actually, celebrating my birthday in my grandparents’ home had been a family tradition. As a result, their neighbors, warm-hearted and friendly, were familiar with me. Sometimes, they even came to the house and brought me birthday gifts in person.
We took the subway there as usual. When we got off the subway, I found I had lost my bag. The bag was memorable to me because it was given by my parents when I became a senior high school student. It also had some valuable items inside, including an expensive watch a birthday gift from my grandparents.
I couldn’t help but cry because the bag meant so much to me.“What’s the matter. Lily?” my mom asked. I told her that I might leave the bag on the subway. Hearing that, she comforted me and said. “We have plenty of time. Let’s talk to the staff (工作人员).”
Instantly, my parents reported the situation to the staff at the subway station. A kind worker smiled to me and said. “If someone found it, they would hand it in.” He asked us to wait patiently for a while, and then he called for help.After half an hour, the worker didn’t give us any information. I started to become anxious and lose hope. My father said. “No news is good news.”However, the worker finally apologized to us and let us wait for the information on the recovery of the missing bag at home. We had to go to my grandparents’ house first.
In the afternoon, while I, together with my grandparents and my father, was preparing for a birthday party, I heard my mother talking to someone on the phone about my lost bag. My heart was beating violently, and I was expecting something extraordinary to happen. Sure enough, my mother got me to answer the phone, “Good news, Lily. The call is just for you, from the kind worker. He said a girl called Beatrice had sent the bag back.” I felt amazed that the girl’s name is the same as my friend’s in Sydney.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I took the phone, and then the voice of the worker who had helped us at the subwaystation came from it. He explained to me that, the kind girl, Beatrice, had picked up my bag on the subway and that she was sorry for not notifying the Lost and Found office in time. I felt infinitely grateful to him and the girl. When I hung up the phone, I circled with excitement. When my father soon fetched the bag, the birthday dinner was ready, and our family was seated at the desk, where we ate, talking and laughing. After dinner, we began to dance to the music. The house was full of harmony and warmth.
My family and I were dancing happily when someone knocked at the door. Grandma stopped dancing and went to open the door. She said “It must be a neighbor who wants to give you a gift, Lily.” In a moment, a beautiful girl entered the house with a bunch of flowers. “Happy birthday, Lily.” said she, my best friend, Beatrice. I warmly welcomed her. When she saw the bag on the sofa, she screamed, “The bag looks like the one I picked up this morning.” We confirmed it and thought it was a coincidence. I said with gratitude, “Thanks, Beatrice. Kindness is always around us.”

Amazing Festivals
Yi Peng Lantern Festival, Thailand
This wonderful unique Festival is celebrated in Chiang Mai, in November, every year. It is held on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month every year. Locals believe that this is the time when the moon is at its brightest and the rivers are filled to their fullest, so this is the best time to light a lantern or set a floating “kratong” off on the Ping River and make a wish.
Holi Festival, India
Holi is a Hindu festival, which marks the beginning of spring. The holiday symbolizes the victory of good over evil, end of winter and it is celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest.
Day of the Dead, Mexico
The origins of the Day of the Dead go back in time some 3000 years. Upon dying, a person was believed to travel to the Land of the Dead. The belief is that spirits return to the world of the living, for one day. The spirits are greeted with offerings of their favorite food and drinks.
Carnival of Venice, Italy
The origins of the Venice Carnival are found in two different ancient traditions: the Latin Saturnalia and the Greek Dionysian cults-major religious festivals involving the use of masks and symbolic representations. They are made of leather, porcelain or using the original glass technique. The Carnival ends with an important Christian event, the start of Lent, 40days before Easter.

For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on.
While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery.
The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.
Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.”
In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.”
In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one.
19. What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line?
A. She felt herself struggling. B. She was far behind others.
C She fell down all of a sudden. D. She was interrupted by Avery.
20. How did Avery react to the accident?
A. She ran the rest in place of Rich. B. She tried to call for help at once.
C. She helped Rich run to the finish line. D. She shouted encouraging words to Rich.
21. How did Rich feel about Avery’s response?
A. Doubtful. B. Content. C. Concerned. D. Expected.
22. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race
B. A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream
C. A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake
D. A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream
C
Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
23. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
24. What do researchers find through camera-traps?
A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors.
B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.
D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals.
25. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Characteristics. B. Populations. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
26. What is the possible significance of the discovery?
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C. Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
27. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
28. Who are opposed to the project?
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
29. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.

If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. ____31____ Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Niangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. ____32____ And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.

____33____ Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. ____34____ This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor (隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. ____35____ .
A. Unlike Western chess, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines, not in squares.
B. During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.

Last Sunday morning, my parents and I were going on a vacation in Sydney, where my grandparents lived, to celebrate my birthday. Actually, celebrating my birthday in my grandparents’ home had been a family tradition. As a result, their neighbors, warm-hearted and friendly, were familiar with me. Sometimes, they even came to the house and brought me birthday gifts in person.
We took the subway there as usual. When we got off the subway, I found I had lost my bag. The bag was memorable to me because it was given by my parents when I became a senior high school student. It also had some valuable items inside, including an expensive watch a birthday gift from my grandparents.
I couldn’t help but cry because the bag meant so much to me.“What’s the matter. Lily?” my mom asked. I told her that I might leave the bag on the subway. Hearing that, she comforted me and said. “We have plenty of time. Let’s talk to the staff (工作人员).”
Instantly, my parents reported the situation to the staff at the subway station. A kind worker smiled to me and said. “If someone found it, they would hand it in.” He asked us to wait patiently for a while, and then he called for help.After half an hour, the worker didn’t give us any information. I started to become anxious and lose hope. My father said. “No news is good news.”However, the worker finally apologized to us and let us wait for the information on the recovery of the missing bag at home. We had to go to my grandparents’ house first.
In the afternoon, while I, together with my grandparents and my father, was preparing for a birthday party, I heard my mother talking to someone on the phone about my lost bag. My heart was beating violently, and I was expecting something extraordinary to happen. Sure enough, my mother got me to answer the phone, “Good news, Lily. The call is just for you, from the kind worker. He said a girl called Beatrice had sent the bag back.” I felt amazed that the girl’s name is the same as my friend’s in Sydney.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took the phone, and then the voice of the worker who had helped us at the subwaystation came from it.
