B In the summer of 2015,Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana,California. Outside his apartment,a homeless man was often yelling on the street comner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to work,but they never spoke.What could they possibly have in common? One day,Peterson was relaxing in his living room,reading the book Love Does about the power of love in action,when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's message,Peterson made an unexpected decision:He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation,Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris. He'd moved to California to pursue a career in music,but he soon fell on hard times and ended up homeless for more than a decade.Peterson recalled later,"It was 第4页共12页 strange but I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn't shaved or had a shower in probably a year.His story,the life inside of him,inspired me."And even though Peterson,a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art,hadn't picked up a paintbrush in about eight years,he found himself asking if he could paint Faris'portrait () Faris said yes. Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana,a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.He sells the portraits for a few thousand dollars and puts half into what he calls a "love account"for his models:He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.As for Faris,he used the funds from his portrait to record an album,fulfilling his musical dream. But there's more to the finished products than the money.Peterson has discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked."People often tell me,'I was the one that would cross the street.But I see homeless people differently now,"Peterson says."I didn't know that would happen.” 24.Why did Peterson reach out to Faris? A.He was suddenly curious about him. B.He was touched by a book about love. C.He couldn't bear his yelling anymore. D.He needed a model for his artistic work. 25.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.How Peterson evaluated Faris'story. B.Why Faris failed to pursue his dream. C.How Peterson and Faris first connected. D.Why Peterson stopped painting for years. 26.Why did Peterson quote people's words in the last paragraph? A.To appeal to people to buy his portraits. B.To demonstrate his organization's influence. C.To show the importance of helping the homeless. D.To prove the possibility of befriending the homeless. 27.In which section can we probably read this text? A.People. B.Education. C.Art. D.Entertainment. 第5页共12页 C Kenyan fig trees can change Co2 into stone,ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died.This means that fig trees planted for their fruit could offer additional climate benefits. All trees take up CO2 from the air,and most of that carbon typically ends up as structural.molecules (used to build the plant.Some fig trees,however, transform CO2 into a compound(化合物)called calcium oxalate(草酸钙)，whose bacteria in the tree and the soil can then turn into calcium carbonate(碳酸钙)，the main component of stones.Carbon in mineral form can stay within soil for much longer than it can in the tree's organic matter. Mike Rowley at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues have made the discovery on three species of fig tree native to Africa.Trees known to store carbon in this way include the iroko tree,which also grows in Africa,but doesn't produce food. The team first identified the fig tree species by applying weak acid onto the trees and looking for bubbles---a sign of CO2 being released from calcium carbonate.Then they measured how far away they could detect calcium carbonate in their trunks and the surrounding soil.They found not only a large part of the trees above ground,but the entire root structures have pretty much turned into calcium carbonate in the soil where it shouldn't be,in high concentrations."What I'm shocked at is that the calcium carbonate really went far deeper into the wood structures than I had expected,"says Rowley. The researchers are now planning to assess the fig trees'suitability for agrieulture by quantifying their water requirements and fruit yields."So far, numerous speeies of tree have been identified which can form.calcium carbonate. But we suspect there are many more."Rowley notes,"This means a significant, underexplored opportunity to help reduce the amount of Co2 released as we plant t女ees for forestry or fruit.” 28.What can we learn about the fig trees montioned in the first two paragraphs? A.They can store carbon. B.They release more CO2. C.They improve soil quality. D.They directly form calcium carbonate. 29.In what way is the fig tree different from the iroko tree? A.Its climate benefits. B.Its African origin. C.Its firuit-bearing quality D.Its soil requirement. 第6页共12页 30.Why was weak acid used in the research? A.To identify the species of the fig tree. B.To test for calcium carbonate in the trees. C.To check the spread of calcium carbonate. D.To measure the amount of the CO2 released 31.How does Rowley view the prospect of the fig tree researoh? A.Depressing. B.Limited. C.Uncertain. D.Promising D We become bored if something fails to absorb our attention,or when we perceive it as meaningless.This is not to say that something needs to be both engaging and meaningful to keep us interested:doing sudoku might be absorbing but relatively meaningless,while reading a Peppa Pig bedtime story for the 500th time is not engaging but may nonetheless feel like a meaningful thing to do. In any case,when boredom strikes it should serve as a reminder to do something more engaging or meaningful.If you don't.react appropriately to your boredom,you may find yourself becoming chronically (bored.That is associated with a range of problems,including depression,anxiety,poor life satisfaction and so on. There is statistical evidence to suggest that chronic boredom is becoming more common,and that this commonness consists with the rise of smartphones.Why might digital media have this effect?Research has shown that the main reason we pick up our phones or check our socials is to relieve boredom,but that the behavior actually worsens it. Digital devices may hold our attention for a while,but much of what we do online doesn't feel meaningful.It's incredibly easy.to plan to look at your phone for just five minutes and resurface two hours later with a stranger's holiday plans or the latest entertainment news.Phones'effectiveness at throwing us into shallow stimulation blocks us from important self-reflection like "Why am.I feeling this?"or "What do I need that I'm not getting?"If we pause and listen,then perhaps we can make a choice rather than being controlled by software engineers. Next time boredom strikes,don't try to assuage it instantly and ask ourselves: are we in search of pure entertainment or something more purposeful,an opportunity to connect with friends or our community or something different,something new? The people who choose to embrace boredom,at least for a while,may actually 第7页共12页 experience less of it.It could even be the first step towards a life that feels more stimulating overall:meaningful,creative and free. 32.How does the author clarify his view in the first paragraph? A.By defining concepts. B.By giving examples. C.By raising assumptions. D.By analyzing data. 33.What can be inferred about boredom? A.It is easy to overcome. B.It signals a need for change. C.It is caused by digital devices. D.It always indicates mental illness. 34.What does the underlined word "assuage"in the last paragraph mean? A.Identify.B.Judge. C.Use. D.Relieve. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Should we embrace boredom? B.Why should we cut digital device use? C.What is the root of boredom? D.Can we balance boredom and digital life? 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。 How to Sleep on a Plane In addition to being 35,000 feet in the sky,it's understandable that the noise and light on planes can make it challenging to relax and truly fall asleep36 With these smart tips for how to sleep on a plane,you'll be slipping into areamland in no time.
