Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi on a Saturday. You will be picked up from the airport and spend your first night in a comfortable lodge in the city.

The cost is £1,200, which covers the volunteer program, a place to stay, airport transfers, one night in a lodge, daily breakfasts, and lunches during your work days. You can extend your stay for an extra £400 per week.

One night, I received a message from my former classmate, someone I hadn’t spoken to in 15 years. “Hey Mary,” she said. “I know you’ve always been an animal lover. I have a mini pig that is not getting along with my dogs. So I can’t keep the pig.” Of course, the whole situation was strange, but I’ve always been a trusting person. I replied “Let me do some research and I’ll get back to you.”
I knew nothing about mini pigs. I didn’t know what they ate; and I had no idea how big they got. Once I started doing some Internet research, I found a few people claiming that “there’s no such thing as a mini pig,” but I was blinded by my sudden obsession and my faith in my onetime friend. She had said the pig was six months old and this mini pig would grow to be about 70 pounds, maximum. That was pretty close to the size of Shelby, one of my dogs. So I told my former classmate that I’d take the animal.
It’s intractable enough bringing a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats and my husband, Derek. But I knew I wanted the pig and the day finally came. When Derek went back, he stood in the doorway like a statue. Every emotion other than happiness flashed across his face. He was extremely angry. The only positive thing I could say was, “She’s a mini pig! She’ll stay small!” Surprisingly, soon enough, the lovely pig smoothed things over by itself. Derek started talking about where the pig’s litter (窝)would go. You don’t care about “litter” of someone you’re getting rid of.
However, a few months later, she’d started closing in on 80 pounds. It was becoming clear that I’d probably adopted a commercial pig and she was going to be enormous. While it might be unexpected, it’s more than worth it for the happiness she has added to our world.
4. What did the author do immediately after receiving her former classmate’s message?
A. She decided to take the pig without hesitation.
B. She discussed the matter with her husband Derek.
C. She looked up information about mini pigs online.
D. She asked the classmate about the pig’s habits.
5. The word “intractable” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.
A. easy and comfortable B. difficult to handle
C. exciting and interesting D. common and predictable
6. How did Derek feel when he first saw the pig?
A. Curious and interested. B. Shocked and angry.
C. Sympathetic and warm. D. Relaxed and joyful.
7. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. The challenges and joys of adopting an unexpected pet.
B. The importance of trusting old friends.
C. The differences between mini pigs and commercial pigs.
D. The need for researching before keeping a pet.
C
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
8. The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s attitude
C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information
9. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
10. In transactive memory, people ________.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
11. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.
D
You stayed up too late looking through your phone, answering emails or watching just one more video. The next morning, you feel sleepy and impatient. That dessert or sandwich suddenly looks more appealing than your usual yogurt and berries. This isn’t just about willpower. Your brain, short on rest, is pushing you toward quick, high-calorie foods.
Research shows that lack of sleep disturbs hunger signals, weakens self-control and increases your risk of weight gain. Sleep loss affects millions. More than one-third of U. S. adults regularly get less than seven hours of sleep per night. Nearly three-quarters of teenagers fall short of the recommended 8 — 10 hours sleep during the school week. First respondents, including nurses, firefighters and emergency workers, are especially affected due to night shifts and uncontrollable schedules. These patterns disturb the body’s internal clock and are linked to increased appetite (胃口), poor eating habits and higher risks for obesity and metabolic (代谢性的) disease.
Studies show that after just one night of sleep loss, reward-related areas such as the amygdala (杏仁核),a part of the brain that drives motivation and reward-seeking, become more reactive to finding food. Your brain becomes more excited by junk food and less capable of resisting it. Participants in sleep loss studies not only rated high-calorie foods as more desirable but were also more likely to choose them, regardless of how hungry they actually felt.
Sleep is as important as diet and exercise in maintaining a healthy weight. Fortunately, even a few nights of consistent, high-quality sleep can help rebalance key systems and start to improve some of these effects. So the next time you find yourself reaching for junk food after a short night, recognize that your body is reacting to stress. Sleep is your most powerful tool for appetite control, energy control and long term health.
12. What problem does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Sleep loss stimulates the brain for appetite. B. Staying up late an make people dizzy.
C. High-calorie foods are more attractive. D. People are addicted to using mobile phones.
13. Why are first respondents more likely to suffer from sleep loss?
A. They bear expectation of the society. B. They have unhealthy lifestyles.
C. They have uncontrollable and shifting schedules. D. They have much pressure from the workload.
14. Why is the brain more likely to change into the reward mode after a lack of sleep?
A. The brain reacts more quickly to the environment.
B. Sleep loss changes how the brain rates food.
C. The brain becomes more active and unrealistic.
D. Sleep loss changes how the body absorbs nutrients.
15. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. How Sleep Loss Disturbs Body’s Internal Clock
B. Why Quality Sleep Matters for Weight Management
C. Sleep, Diet and Exercise: Keys to Healthy Living
D. Sleep Shortage: The Hidden Driver of Junk Food Desires

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写最后一段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Two fast friends were Willie Brown and his little dog Bounce Willie could never think of taking a walk without Bounce Cake and play were equally shared between them.
Willie taught his dog many running tricks and often said that Bounce could do almost anything in the world but talk.
There came a time, however, when Bounce really told Willie’s father something, though he could not talk. Let me tell you how he did this.
It was on a bright summer afternoon. Willie had strolled with Bounce down to the river, which was not more than two blocks from his father’s store. Willie began to throw stones into the water and to watch the ripples as they made one circle after another. Bounce lay on the grass, watching the flies that buzzed around his nose and catching any that came too near.
There were some logs (原木,圆材) floating in the river near the store. Willie jumped upon one of them to see if he could throw a stone across the river.
He drew back, and sent the stone with all his might. Just as it left his hand, the log turned and he fell into the water. He was very much frightened, for he did not know how to swim, and there was no one to hear, though he called as loud as he could for help.
Poor little Bounce barked in distress. If he had been a big water dog, he could have jumped in and brought his master out.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为80词左右;
(2)请按照格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
He ran up and down the bank two or three times, barking, looking first at Willie and then around.

【47题答案】
【答案】参考范文
He ran up and down the bank two or three times, barking, looking first at Willie and then around. He ran as fast as he could to Mr. Brown’s store. The door was closed, so he scratched it and barked loudly till someone opened it. He locked his jaw on Mr. Brown’s clothes, pulled him to the door, then ran back — barking and jumping. Feeling something wrong, Mr. Brown grabbed his hat and followed. Suddenly, Mr. Brown thought of Willie, picking up his pace. At the river, he saw Willie’s hat floating, with his small arm sticking up. Mr. Brown jumped in, caught Willie just before he sank, and carried him to the bank. Willie calmed down, and Bounce wagged his tail happily. Though the dog couldn’t speak, his actions told a warm truth: loyalty speaks louder than words.
