B One-year-old Tallulah’s face turned purple and she stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat. Her mom Leigh-Anne said the drama (戏剧性事件) began during a visit to her grandma’s house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets. “Then at about 4:45 p.m., Tallulah started to choke — we all got into a panic.” “It seemed like it went on for ages. Not one of us knew what to do.” “I called an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.” “Tallulah was panicky at first but then she started to go purple — she almost had no oxygen left in her.” With her daughter limp (无力的) and time running out, Leigh-Anne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive. “The only thing I could think was to go out into the street,” she said. “I rushed out and screamed for help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.” At exactly the moment, Caitlin, who is studying public services at Redcar & Cleveland College, was passing by Queen Street. She said, “I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.” The 17-year-old girl added, “Something just clicked and I went into an automatic mode. The little girl was completely limp, so I checked her airways and tilted (使倾斜) her over and started hitting her on the back. I turned her around and tapped her on the chest, and then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out. As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief. I was just so pleased I was able to help.” Caitlin was taught life-saving skills when she joined the Army Cadet Force four years ago. 24. When did Tallulah get choked? A. While eating sweets. B. While enjoying a drama. C. While having a meal. D. While taking some medicine. 25. Why did the family go out into the street? A. To buy some needed tools. B. To search for timely help. C. To get a breath of fresh air. D. To wait for the ambulance to arrive. 26. Which of the following can best describe Caitlin? A. Brave and selfless. B. Kind and energetic. C. Determined and generous. D. Quick-thinking and helpful. 27. What may be the best title for the text? A. First Aid Skill Sounds Important B. Screaming for Help Makes Sense C. Eating Sweets Endangers Baby Girls D. A Heroic Teenager Saves a Baby Girl’s Life C Bamboo farming is on the rise in Uganda. The strong and fast-growing crop is seen by the East African government as having real growth possibility. Along a 3-kilometer stretch of the river Rwizi, environment protection officers recently planted new bamboo seedlings (幼苗) and cleared room for last year’s survivors to grow. The river Rwizi is the most important river in western Uganda that includes the major city of Mbarara. A successful bamboo forest would protect the river against sand miners, farmers and others whose activities have long threatened it. “Once bamboo is established, it is almost like a net,” said Jeconious Musingwire. He is an environment officer, who is the project’s technical advisor. “The roots trap everything, including the surface runoff, and stabilize the weaknesses of the banks.” The Ugandan government has set a 10-year policy that calls for planting 300,000 hectares of bamboo. Most of it will be planted on private land by 2029 as part of wider reforestation efforts. A single bamboo pole brings in a little less than a dollar, so farmers need to grow a lot to earn enough. Bamboo promoters are urging them to see a bamboo plantation as the same kind of money-making crop as coffee or tea. Banks are offering bamboo “plantation capital” to clients, loans that allow them to plant large forests of bamboo. Bamboo plants are normally ready for harvesting in three to five years. A well — maintained plantation can be useful for at least 50 years, said Jacob, a crop production expert working with the large Kitara Farm. He said bamboo is easy to manage, and usually does not need spraying with pesticide (杀虫剂). Steve Tusiime owns a bamboo nursery. It has sold fewer than 10,000 seedlings in the past two years. But, Tusiime said, “Bamboo is going to be a game changer in Africa. You can eat bamboo, you can use it to build, create a bamboo industry, you can feed it to your animals, and it can take care of your land.” 28. What is the importance of planting bamboo according to Jeconious Musingwire? A. It helps improve the soil for crops. B. It is beneficial to the environment. C. It can be profitable for about 50 years. D. It is useful to develop the local economy. 29. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People in Uganda are showing interest in growing bamboo. B. Steve Tusiime makes much money with the bamboo nursery in growing bamboo. C. Bamboo industry will help people in Uganda make more money. D. Bamboo is helpful to reduce poverty and hunger in Africa. 30. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Bamboo forests can improve the environment B. Farmers can earn money by planting bamboo C. Uganda makes a 10-year plan on development D. Uganda makes great effort to plant bamboo. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of bamboo farming in Uganda? A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. D MASTER OF DISGUISE Octopuses are famous for their round bodies, big eyes, and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses, but all are alike in one way: They are masters’ of disguise. Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals. How do they do this? An octopus can disguise itself in three ways. One is by using color. An octopus’s skin has special cells called chromatophores. These cells are filled with yellow, brown, and red pigment. When an octopus moves its muscles a certain way, the cells become large and produce colorful spots and other patterns on its skin. Chromatophores (色素体) can also reflect light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white. With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns. An octopus can also change its skin texture. When the octopus moves its muscles, its skin can go from smooth to spiky. It might then look like a plant, or coral. Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape. Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks. One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea creatures — especially dangerous ones, such as sea snakes. Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves? They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. Because they have no bones in their bodies, octopuses are like large pieces of meat. Many predators want to eat them — and they can eat them whole. To survive, octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide from predators. 32. What would be the best alternative title for this passage? A. The Mind of an Octopus B. How an Octopus Hides C. Octopuses in the Ocean Ecosystem D. The Secret Lives of Octopuses 33. Which of these sentences is NOT true? A. Chromatophores are light-reflecting cells. B. Chromatophores can change in size. C. Chromatophores produce an animal’s skin texture. D. Chromatophores contain different pigments. 34. In paragraph 3, the author suggests that some corals ________. A. can change their color B. can roll themselves into balls C. have spiky outer surfaces D can disguise themselves as octopuses 35. Octopuses have excellent DISGUISE abilities. From this, we can infer that ________. A. Octopuses are at the top of the ocean food chain. B. Octopuses use their camouflage (伪装) mainly for hunting other animals. C. Camouflage is a crucial survival strategy for octopuses in a dangerous ocean environment. D. Octopuses can change their color and texture only when they are in immediate danger. 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。 Whether hiking your favorite trail or camping at your most treasured camp spot, you are responsible for leaving it untouched for the next guy!
