B "Meet me in the conference room with the contracts and a cup of coffee,"my boss barked at me."Ten minutes..” I didn't respond.I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor.I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone,supervisor or not. I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman.It happened to Mrs.Wilson next door.Old Mr.Wilson couldn't put in his own false teeth without his wife's assistance,let alone make himself lunch.It was a miserable union.I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her.I adopted the motto:Don't help those who won't help themselves. I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone.I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do,only to be asked back.He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question.Fortunately,I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds. I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot.I took two cups and made two cups of coffee.Then I walked into the boss'office with a cup of coffee in each hand.I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him. "Let's take a break,"partway through the meeting,my boss stood,saying."I need more coffee."I picked up my empty cup."I do,too,"I said,and handed it to him across the table."Thanks,"I added,looking at him expectantly.The boss was staggered for a moment,and then took the cup from me. When I finally left my boss'office,I hid in the bathroom and called my dad.My father's laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder. 24.Why does the author mention the Wilsons?

C Most people think that weeds are something to be pulled up and thrown away.Now,purslane (may be the key to creating drought resistant crops in a world that is getting warmer. Scientists at Yale University found that purslane can create a new form of photosynthesis (that allows this weed to endure drought conditions."This is a very rare 'super plant'-one that could be potentially useful in crop engineering."said Edwards,a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. Purslane actually enhances its photosynthesis efficiency to match the high levels found in plants.like comn, which enables it to maintain productivity under high temperatures.On the other hand,this plant employs a special way of photosynthesis.It stores carbon dioxide at night and uses it during the day,which makes it remarkably resistant to heat.The uniqueness of purslane lies in these two characteristics.Yale team conducted an analysis of the genes in the leaves of the plant and found that they are totally integrated and operate in the same cells. Understanding how this works could allow scientists to engineer main crops like corn to resist long-lasting droughts. Growing across the US,purslane has small round leaves,and red,yellow,or pink flowers.You can plant it in your garden just about anywhere.With its sour-salty taste,it is a healthy food rich in vitamins,minerals,and Omega-3s.You can enjoy it raw in salads or cooked as a dish. "In terms of engineering the plant into a crop like comn,there is still a lot of work to do before that could become a reality,"Edwards said in the news release.Finding and growing new food crops that can survive the effects of climate change is a win-win for a planet that is getting hotter and drier.Who knew this common weed B高二（上）英语试卷第5页，共12页 could be the key? 28.What makes purslane a"super plant"according to Paragraph 2? A.Its unique taste and color. B.Its ability to grow anywhere. C.Its high capacity in storing water. D Its uncommon way of photosynthesis. 29.What is the advantage of purslane's storing carbon dioxide at night? A.Increasing its productivity. B.Helping it to resist drought. C.Allowing it to grow faster. D.Reducing its need for sunlight. 30.What can we learn about purslane as food? A.It is rich in nutrition. B.It is not widely accepted. C.It is not suitable in salads. D.It is mainly cooked as a dish. 31.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To promote the planting of purslane. B.To warn readers of the danger of the weed. C.To describe different types of photosynthesis. D.To show purslane's potential in crop engineering. D Chimps(黑a猩猩)use loud calls and gestures(手势)to make their feelings known but until now,the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery.Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time. From 4,351 gestures,experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back.The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes.The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland. Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication.Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing,and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them.Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start,or to develop,such as "move closer,"and"change play".Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning,and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning. Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, B高二（上）英语试卷第6页，共12页 Democratic Republic of Congo.As well as identifying what the gesture means,they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success. "Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words,and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,”explained the researchers..“In great apes(类人猿)，there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals,but this is far less clear in their natural communication." 32.Why do chimps slap objects together? A.To tell others to stop what they are doing. B.To ask other chimps to join them. C.To gather other chimps to move closer. D.To encourage interactions to start. 33.What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips? A.Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals. B.Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa. C.Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication. D.Chimps'earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age. 34.How is the last paragraph developed? A.By analyzing causes. B.By presenting data. C.By making comparisons. D.By following time order. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A New Research on Chimps B.Human Children and Chimps C.Getting the Chimps Trained for Language D.Translating the Sign Language of Chimps 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 It's no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.Like,would you rather bite into a lemon,or sip on a fresh glass of lemonade? 36 The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert to what's going on around us.While reading traditional,more negative news is important,consuming good news is also part of staying informed.37And it also brings meaningful benefits,like reduced stress and anxiety, B高二（上）英语试卷第7页，共12页 higher rates of engagement,community building skills,and inspiration for creating a better world.Plus,knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news consumers.
