阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Hands-on basketball
The boy was only nine years old when he designed a “hands-on basketball”. Chris Haas had the idea when he saw his friends miss lots of baskets. His basketball has painted hands on it. The hands show you where to put your hands when you throw the ball. Today people use his invention around the world.
Wristies
At age 10, Kathryn Gregory was playing outside one day in the cold. Her wrists (手腕) began to hurt from the cold so she decided to find a way to keep both her hands and wrists warm during the winter. In 1994, she invented Wristies: fuzzy sleeves (毛绒袖子) that can be worn underneath gloves to protect your wrists from the cold. She worked with her mom to get the idea off the ground and now the product is sold worldwide.
Makin’Bacon
Abbey Fleck was 8 years old when she noticed how much time her parents spent soaking up bacon fat (吸干培根油脂) after cooking. She realized that it might be easier to hang bacon while it cooks. That way you wouldn’t need paper towels and it would even make the bacon healthier. She then worked with her father to design a dish that hangs bacon while it cooks. Now people can see her invention in many supermarkets.
Braille
Louis Braille had an accident when he was three. The accident left him blind. At that time, it was hard for blind children to read. They had to touch raised letters. But it was difficult to tell a Q from an O, an R from a B, and so on. When he was fifteen, Louis invented an alphabet (字母表) that used raised dots (小圆点). The Braille alphabet was a big success!
21. Whose invention is related to sports?

Michael J. Fox was at the height of his career when he developed Parkinson’ s disease (帕金森病) in 1991. Since then, he has been fighting the disease and has not lost his love for life.
After his diagnosis (诊断), Michael concealed his illness for several years in order not to risk his career as an actor. His diagnosis didn’t become public until 1999. To this day, he has done his best not to be influenced by his illness as much as possible and has worked both in front of the camera and as a voice actor.
Michael said in an interview with the American magazine Haute Living in 2016: “I realize now that I can play anybody, as long as they have Parkinson’s.” Like the role of “Louis Canning” in The Good Wife, which he played from 2010 to 2016. For his role of the lawyer , who suffers from the side effects of medication to treat Parkinson’s, he was nominated (提名) five times for an Emmy.
Michael has shown the doctors who said that he would not be able to work ten years after the diagnosis that this is not the case. He has found the right way to deal with Parkinson’s disease for him: Humor.
In an interview in March 2017, he joked about moments in his everyday life where he is controlled by his illness. “The thing that makes it funny to me is when I think about someone else watching all this and thinking, ‘Poor Michael can’t even get the coffee — it’s so sad!’”, explains the 59-year-old.
Since his diagnosis became public, Michael has dedicated himself to Parkinson’s research. In 2000, he founded the Michael Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. By the end of 2018, 800 million US dollars had already been collected.
24. What does the underlined word “concealed” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Hid. B. Feared. C. Refused to treat. D. Paid no attention to.
25. What made Michael’s role of the lawyer successful?
A. Their similar personalities. B. Their similar experiences.
C. Michael’s handsome appearance. D. Michael’s dream of being a lawyer.
26. Which of the following can best describe Michael?
A. Tough and positive. B. Patient and honest.
C. Confident and easy-going. D. Independent and open-minded.
27. What did Michael do for Parkinson’s disease?
A. He provided money for those with it. B. He called on people to face it bravely.
C. He established a center to treat people with it. D. He tried to raise money to support research on it.
C
Every tree tells a story. They hold our memories, represent belief, and witness countless moments of joy and sadness. In our imagination, there is always a place for a tree.
For the locals in Naunde, Mozambique, a mango tree provides more than just shade from the Saharan sun. It is also a traditional setting for storytelling, ceremonies, and regulating village life. “It is a place to meet and talk, to seek agreement and settle arguments, to bridge differences and develop unity,” wrote Kofi Annan, the former Secretary-General of the UN. “If you have a problem and can’t find a solution, you meet again tomorrow under the tree and you keep talking.”
The mango tree always stands there, witnessing and remembering everything, and at the same time becomes an inseparable part of the collective memory of the locals. “Each growth layer that trees add every year contains a bit of the air from that year. The trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores (气孔) , which helps build their tissues, so they physically hold the record of the years of their surroundings,” said Benjamin Swett, author of New York City of Trees. In this way, trees also serve as nature’s memory stick, keeping a record of a history as long as themselves.
The English language borrows a lot from trees: We turn over a new leaf and branch out, meaning we move on from the past and start something new. And there are times when we can’t see the wood for the trees. We tend to enjoy the flourishing leaves, branches, and roots of the trees. However, we pay little attention to the forests that embrace trees. The same things often happen to us in our own lives. We often dip ourselves into some bad experiences in life. As a result, we may give up at a terrible moment instead of imagining satisfying success after defeating the failure.
Trees inspire mankind, not just through language, but through ideas. Perhaps the most famous is a tree in a garden in Lincolnshire, England, where an apple fell and inspired young Isaac Newton to wonder: Why would that apple always fall directly to the ground? According to an 18th-century account, Newton was home from Cambridge when he stepped into the garden and into a reverie (沉思) . There, the idea of gravitation came into his mind, inspired by an apple.
28.What is the role of a mango tree in Naunde?
A.A spot to bind the locals together. B.A witness to the changing weather.
C.A generous food supplier on Earth. D.A shelter to protect villagers in disasters.
29.How do trees keep a record of their surroundings?
A.By changing the width of their growth layer.
B.By sticking out branches in different directions.
C.By absorbing carbon dioxide to build their tissues.
D.By reflecting changing climate conditions with their tiny pores.
30.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.Suggestions on facing failure. B.Famous English stories about trees.
C.The relationship between trees and forests. D.Lessons from English expressions related to trees.
31.Why does the author mention Newton in the last paragraph?
A.To explain the necessity of observation. B.To show how gravitation was discovered.
C.To stress the importance of trees in inspiring ideas. D.To introduce how trees serve as a mirror of history.
D
How does an ecosystem work? What makes the population of different species(物种) the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.
With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator always eats huge numbers of a single prey, the two species are strongly linked; when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs maybe unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.
32.What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs?
A.The living habits of species in food webs.
B.The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.
C.The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.
D.The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.
33.A strong link is found between two species when a predator ________.
A.has a wide fond choice B.can easily find new prey
C.sticks to one prey species D.can quickly move to another place
34.What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?
A.The prey species they directly attack will die out.
B.The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.
C.The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.
D.The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.
35.What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?
A.Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.
B.Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.
C.Species of commercial value dominate other species.
D.Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.

It’s common that everyone wants to get the most out of his teenage years. Working hard as a teen can help you develop good habits you can carry into adulthood. There are many ways you can upgrade your life as a teenager.
Discover what inspires you. Passions should make you feel excited. Considering what inspires you in your day-to-day life can help you make clear of passions. 36 This may mean you have a passion for art or art history. Spend your time pouring your energies into your personal passions.
37 It’s important to have goals as a teen, as they can help shape your adult life. Writing down a lot of goals for a given year, term, or summer can help you upgrade your life.
Clear goals work best. 38 For example, maybe you’re interested in animal protection. A goal like “I will avoid using products tested on animals”is a more specific goal than “I will do my part to end animal cruelty.”
Do not give in to pressure from people of an age. It’s great to be open to trying new things as a teen, and important to make the most of your teenage years. 39 True friends will not try to pressure you into doing something you don’t want to do. Peer (同龄人) pressure comes in different forms, and can create unnecessary stress and tension in your life. Know how to tell and avoid peer pressure.
Accept your strengths and weaknesses. Everyone is good at different things. You may not have a gift for writing, but you may be good at science courses. 40 You cannot succeed in everything, and that’s okay.
A.Do not limit yourself as a teenager.
B.Set your own goals for a special period.
C.Focus on what you’re good at and what you enjoy.
D.Maybe you love reading about artists or find going to art museums inspiring.
E.However, you should not do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
F.You’ll end up meeting people your own age and developing a group of friends at work.
G.That means when writing goals you should state clearly how you want to go after these things.

I had a younger sister, Michelle. But as a big brother, I rarely cared for her.
On a Sunday in March when I was 8, Easter (复活节) came. As usual, my sister and I would search for the hidden baskets full of candy and other things prepared for us. On that Easter morning, I got up early.
“Michelle!” I whispered to my sister, who was still sleeping in her bedroom. “Wake up. It’s Easter. We have to go and find our baskets.” She rolled over in bed and finally got up. “Mom and Dad are still sleeping,” I warned her as we walked out into the kitchen. “If we’re quiet, we can find our baskets without waking them up.”
It didn’t take long for me to find my basket, which had candy, toys, etc. This basket was obviously mine because it contained the latest issue of my favorite magazine. My sister continued searching in every room while I dropped my basket off at the kitchen table and started separating candy into different categories. 20 minutes later, my sister told me, “I can’t find it. I looked all over. Can you help me?” I decided to help her not because I felt sorry for her, but because I thought it was fun to find the missing basket.
We started searching through the cabinets (贮藏柜). Later, our parents were awake. Dad headed straight for the bathroom, while Mom walked out to make coffee. “Mom, I’ve found my basket,” I told her. She smiled and asked, “Where’s yours, Michelle?”
That’s when my six-year-old sister started to cry. “Let’s keep looking,” Mom said, taking hold of my sister’s hand. After searching the living room they went to the closet (贮藏室). There Michelle finally found her basket. But when she picked up her basket, we found everything in it had all been bitten and damaged by mice.
Michelle dropped her basket on the floor, looking upset(沮丧).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I walked slowly into my sister’s room with my basket.
