He spent several minutes looking at the meat on display. He finally fixed his eyes on the lamb and barked, showing that he wanted to buy some of them. The butcher was deeply impressed and decided that he would like to own a clever dog like that. He followed the dog to see where he went. The dog entered an apartment house and began to scratch on the door. With that, the door opened, and an angry woman started yelling at the dog as SHE did. So the butcher stepped forward to ask the woman to stop. That's the smartest animal i've ever seen. Surely IT doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. The woman said, I don't think he's so intelligent. You see, this is the third time this week he's forgotten his key. A black dog walked into a butcher shop with a five dollar bill in his mouth.

Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table,a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards.Ten years ago,she and her family moved to a new home in Austin,Texas.
One day,Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party.She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake.“After the party,I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard,just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out.They played games,did crafts and ate snacks.“We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says.“We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat.Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea.Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too.A movement was born.“It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says.The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes.They think their house is too messy,it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time.“Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says.Her picnic table takes away the excuses and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step towards easing loneliness and building relationships in her community.“People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings,thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world.Not all of them are actually turquoise.“No matter what color it is,it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
24.Why did Kristin Schell start the movement?
A.To host more parties in her front yard.
B.To entertain her friends and neighbors.

D.To create harmonious communities worldwide.

B.The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
C.Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.
D.People feel unwilling to join in the front yard chat at first.
27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

B.An Amazing Woman
C.Happy Front Yard Time

While West Africa’s Benin approaches its rainy season,occasional showers and sticky hot weather have done little to lessen the enthusiasm of local villagers who gathered to watch the first Benin Village Super League.Soccer teams from two villages in Parakou,a central city in Benin,competed on a soccer field near the base of the Chinese support mission for cotton production in Benin,in Belle Cite Village.
For the past decade,the China-assisted cotton technology project has been active in Parakou,a major cotton-producing region in Benin.The long-term technical assistance has built strong relationships with villagers.When the project team learned that the former soccer field had been expropriated (征用),they decided to build a new one using agricultural machinery and recycled materials.
Last summer,videos of some soccer matches in Rongjiang County,Southwest China’s Guizhou Province,became popular and attracted worldwide tourists.Inspired by this,the Village Super League in Parakou includes cultural performances during halftime,featuring Chinese martial arts and Beninese dance.“Locals love soccer and I want to bring this model here and set up a similar league,” said Shou Xiaoyong,head of the Chinese technical team.
Named the Friendship Football Field,the new facility was opened in March last year.It quickly became the preferred place for soccer among villagers in Belle Cite and nearby areas,hosting regular matches,especially during agricultural downtimes.
As the tournament progressed,its popularity rose.Villagers from surrounding areas traveled on motorcycles with their children to watch the matches.Yves Koba,the head of Belle Cite Village,praised the Village Super League for promoting (促进) communication and friendship among villages.“The league has made us more united.I hope it continues and that our villagers achieve even better results next year.”
28.What has caused excitement among the villagers in Parakou?
A.The first village league.
B.The China-assisted project.
C.The newly-built football field.
D.The start of the harvest season.
29.For what reason was the Friendship Football Field built?
A.To attract worldwide tourists.
B.To provide a place for soccer lovers.
C.To inspire locals’love for soccer.
D.To bring Chinese culture into focus.
30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How popular football is in Benin.
B.How the new football field was built.
C.What Benin Village Super League is like.
D.Why Chinese village league model was introduced.
31.What does Yves Koba think of the Village Super League in Benin?
A.It brings in huge money.
B.It promotes cross-cultural exchanges.
C.It forms a new tradition.
D.It strengthens friendship among villages.

Can small,organic agriculture really feed the world?Won’t we need science to produce enough food as the world population is growing to 9 billion by 2050?The answers to both questions are YES—but that science may look different than you think.
We have been told that the only way we will be able to feed the growing population is through the science of GM(转基因) crops and chemicals.But the latest scientific studies are saying just the opposite.In study after study,the message about agriculture is clear:To feed the world,we need to support sustainable(可持续的) agriculture on different,local,family farms that work with nature.
In 2008,an international study found that sustainable agriculture,not GM crops,shows more hope of ending hunger.The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge,Science,and Technology for Development (known as the IAASTD) calls for a change in the world’s food and farming systems.
The Assessment said that industrial agriculture has greatly destroyed the world’s soils and other natural resources,and now is doing harm to water,energy,and weather safety.The report warns that expensive,short-term ways—including GM crops—are not likely to cut down long-term hunger,and could even make environmental and social problems worse in many places.
A recent report by the UN Environment Program shows that food problems will become more serious because of environmental problems and strongly supports sustainable agriculture on small family farms.It also showed that a worldwide change to organics could actually increase the world’s food production by as much as 50%—enough to feed a population of 9 billion people with the land we have now.GM crops,once popular,are now being questioned worldwide.
32.How can we feed the growing population of the world according to the passage?
A.In expensive,short-term ways.
B.By encouraging industrial agriculture.
C.By developing small,organic agriculture.
D.Through the science of GM crops and chemicals.
33.What can we learn from the passage?
A.There will be no food problems if the world supports sustainable agriculture.
B.There will be no food problems if we increase a lot of farm land.
C.There will be no food problems if the environmental problems are solved.
D.There will be no food problems if all the small family farms are used.
34.Which of the following best describe sustainable agriculture?
A.The science of GM crops.
B.Working on small family farms.
C.A fast way to increase the world’s food production.
D.An approach to agriculture without harming the environment.
35.What might be talked about if there is one more paragraph?
A.The causes of food problems.
B.The disadvantages of GM crops.
C.The development of industrial agriculture.
D.The disadvantages of sustainable agriculture.

As research is becoming more international and multidisciplinary (涉及多门学科的),some people think the Nobel Prize award system is outdated and needs some changes.When Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895,he specified the areas of work in which they should be awarded,namely,Physics,Chemistry,Physiology or Medicine,Literature,and Peace. 36 The only change has been the introduction of the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1969.
37 Researchers have spent much of the last century developing specialized and sub-specialized fields of study,and now it has become clear that these sub-specializations are not independent of each other but are closely related.
Some of the greatest discoveries have been achieved through cooperation between disciplines.Watson (a physicist) and Crick (a biologist) together discovered the structure of DNA. 38 One example is the ENCODE project for human genome sequencing (基因组测序),which involved very large international teams that worked together over decades.
But except for the Nobel Peace Prize,which can be awarded to organizations,all other Nobel Prizes are awarded to individuals.Further,the Nobel Prize allows a maximum of three shared winners for each of the disciplines awarded. 39
Perhaps it is time for change.With the Nobel Prize as a current hot topic of discussion,the issue of its incompatibility (不匹配) with multidisciplinary research has been discussed by several leading international newsletters. 40 The Guardian suggests that new interdisciplinary categories be introduced and varied every year.Scientific American proposes increasing the maximum number of awardees.Whatever the way forward may be,it is clear that the trend towards multidisciplinary studies should be acknowledged and encouraged.
A.They compared genome sequences.
B.Some changes have been recommended.
C.However,some are achieved individually.
D.But science has developed tremendously since 1895.
E.Even today the Nobel Prize is awarded in these categories.
F.This means that not all members can receive this great honor.
G.Also,modern scientific breakthroughs often result from collective efforts.

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。
When I was a kid,my parents and I lived near the forest.They often told me that our family was a team that needed to work together for the household to function smoothly.There was always an abundance of work to do — cooking,cleaning,and walking dogs.I volunteered to walk our dog,Max,who had been adopted one month before.I never dared to let this giant dog off the lead (牵狗绳),just in case he took off.
One morning,we were walking along in the forest when Max started pulling on the lead.At first,I was able to hold on despite the wet ground from a recent shower.But the more I tried to stop him pulling,the more it turned into a tug of war.And thanks to the slippery ground,I lost.
Pulling his lead,Max shot off like a bullet,leaving me screaming behind.I chased him but lost my footing and fell face-first into some mud.I stumbled (踉跄) to my feet,but looking ahead,I found him running back towards me.I thought he was going to stop and give me his “Sorry” look.But instead,the dog shot past me and returned after a while.
As soon as we got home,my mother immediately attended to Max with a warm towel and a doggy treat.I thought seeing me stumbling and covered in mud,I would also get a warm cup of tea and a motherly kiss.Instead,I got a very loud lecture about letting the dog loose in the forest.
I felt frustrated.It wasn’t fair that she didn’t understand how difficult it was to control Max.I fought back,“Stop lecturing me!Why is everything my fault?” With these words,I stormed into my bedroom and slammed the door shut.
In the evening,I heard my mother call Max and take him out.It wasn’t long before I heard my mother screaming and the door opening again.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I walked out of my room.
Dad stepped in,suggesting that we work together to train Max.

M:And she did well in the part?
W:She was great in the part.She had always been shy,and she suddenly became less shy and more confident.A member of the stage management team for the show was taking over a local agency and asked her to sign up.So then she had an agent to represent her and try to get roles for her.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕诺贝尔奖奖励体系是否过时展开讨论,指出随着科学研究变得更加国际化和多学科化,该体系存在一些问题,如与多学科研究不匹配,进而讨论了对其进行变革的建议。
36.E 上文“When Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895,he specified the areas of work in which they should be awarded,namely,Physics,Chemistry,Physiology or Medicine,Literature,and Peace.”说明了诺贝尔奖最初设立的奖项领域。E项承接上文,表明时至今日,诺贝尔奖仍在这些领域颁发,与下文“The only change has been the introduction of the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1969.”形成对照,说明奖项领域的延续性。故选E项。

40.B 上文“With the Nobel Prize as a current hot topic of discussion,the issue of its incompatibility with multidisciplinary research has been discussed by several leading international newsletters.”指出诺贝尔奖与多学科研究不匹配问题被讨论。B项承接上文,表明针对该问题,已经有了一些变革建议,下文“The Guardian suggests that new interdisciplinary categories be introduced and varied every year.Scientific American proposes increasing the maximum number of awardees.”具体说明了这些变革建议。故选B项。

61.speeches 考查名词复数。the speeches that people made指“人们的演讲”,因为speech是可数名词,泛指,所以使用它的复数形式。故填speeches。
62.enjoyable 考查形容词。这里需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词 experience。故填enjoyable。
63.makes 考查动词的时态。本段描述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时。从句主语是what,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填makes。
64.preference 考查名词。have a preference for表示“对……有偏爱”,所以此处填所给词的名词形式。故填preference。
65.and 考查连词。这里连接两个并列的名词 affection和respect,所以用并列连词。故填and。

第一节
Dear Terry,
Knowing from your letter that you want to be an international volunteer in Africa,I’m writing to express my admiration and support.
In my opinion,being a volunteer in Africa will not only make it possible for you to make friends with foreigners,but also give you a chance to use what you’ve learned to help those in need.
As for the disagreement between you and your parents,I suggest you explain the significance of being an international volunteer to them patiently.I’m sure they’ll eventually understand your decision.
Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
I walked out of my room.Not surprisingly,they were both covered in mud.It was evident that Max had led my mother on another wild chase through the forest.My frustration melted away as I saw my mother’s apologetic expression.“Sweetheart,” my mom said softly,“I’m sorry for scolding you earlier.” After a quick shower,she then shared her own adventure with Max and how he also managed to escape from her grasp,when I served her a warm cup of tea.It seemed we were both at our wits’end with this dog.
Dad stepped in,suggesting that we work together to train Max.We spent the next few days teaching Max basic commands like “sit”,“stay”,and “come back”.It wasn’t easy,but gradually,Max started responding better to us.The instant we tried to stop him pulling,he sat down with eyes looking intently at us.In the process,not only did Max become more obedient,but our family also grew closer.We realized that every member of our team played an important role,and we needed to support each other to ensure everything ran smoothly.
