Bruce Campbell, a retired electrical engineer, wanted to change the behavior of mankind by showing how we can recycle old things into new and practical living items.
For about $22,000, he purchased a Greek airliner - a Boeing 727-400 that logged about 40,000 flights in its past. Before Campbell got his hands on this Boeing 727 and transformed it into the airplane home he lives in, this aircraft served as a transport to all kinds of destinations.
A party, called Turbulence: a Dance Party for all ages, happened on August 31 with a guest of friends. The party, called Turbulence: a Dance Party for all ages, happened right on the floor. Guests who attended the party got the opportunity to take a look at the airplane home. Overall, they estimated around 14,000 Facebook users who were interested in what sounded like an incredible party.
This talented engineer got another surprise and started his second airplane home during the beginning of 2018 on the Kyushu Island because he wanted it to serve as a safe place for the local community as well. Part of Bruce Campbell’s vision was to make an aircraft that doubles as a lifeboat in case tsunami (海啸) threats were issued. He wanted the coastal people to be afforded an airframe capable of surviving hundreds of years and the cruelest weather conditions to its sealed pressure technology.
Campbell added the excitement that he received when he recycled airplanes and hoped that people would seriously consider waste after they get the chance to have his fantastic tour. He has posted on his website that it is his goal to inspire a great number of thousands of thought through to employ this remarkable resource.
24. What drew wide public attention to Campbell’s first transformed plane?
A. Its high residential comfort level.
B. Its remarkable transporting capacity.
C. The incredibly long service life.
D. The Facebook post of a party held on it.
25. What did Campbell think the second plane could serve as?
A. A tsunami warning center.
B. A meeting place for local community.
C. A temporary shelter in disasters.
D. An engineering workshop.
26. Why did Campbell transform the planes?
A. To direct attention to housing problems.
B. To satisfy his scientific curiosity.
C. To advocate a greener life style.
D. To call for participation in recycling.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A former engineer turning retired planes into home.
B. Recent trends of renaissance-themed decoration.
C. A talented being designer receiving online fame.
D. Diverse approaches for sustainable living.
C
Five times stronger than steel, spider silk’s unique qualities were recognised by the Ancient Greeks and more recently, scientists have looked at applications from medicine to engineering.
Now, one Japanese startup, Spiber, is exploring how spider web silk could transform the clothing industry. The biotech company Spiber, which specialises in spider silk lab and has since expanded its fabric range to include more sustainable alternatives to wool and cashmere, says Kenji Higashi, head of business development at Spiber.
Spiders create silk by giving out liquid protein that will later change into silk thread. Kazuhide Sekiyama and Junichi Sugahara, Spiber’s founders, decided to create a material that is identical to spider silk. They studied thousands of different spider species as well as other silk-producing species, and collected a database of silk varieties.
Having successfully studied the spider silk properties, the team went on to develop a range of fabrics by changing the protein order. Spiber’s fibers are fermenting (发酵) yeast, sugar and nutrients with specially modified microbes (改良微生物) in steel tanks to produce protein polymers to be made into a fiber. Later, the team discovered that the spider silk alternative threads (纹缍) were strong, so they modified the protein to get a fiber with desirable properties, such as water resistance and warmth, which is suitable for an outdoor jacket.
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It produces around 2.1 billion metric tons of CO₂ every year. Higashi said Spiber’s biodegradable products are produced to generate just one-fifth of the carbon emissions of animal-based fibers like cashmere in mass production. And it is now developing a process that will transition entirely to green energy to expand its production and getting ready for a full commercial launch of its products. Spiber hopes its technology will help to “solve some of the big global challenges that we’re facing,” says Higashi.
28. What is a primary purpose of Spiber’s research in the lab?
A. To develop new applications of spider silk.
B. To invent a replacement for spider silk.
C. To transform the structure of spider silk.
D. To study silk-producing spider species.
29. How did the team address the shrinking problem?
A. By adapting the protein.
B. By diversifying microbes.
C. By wetting the fiber.
D. By lengthening fermenting time.
30. What can best describe Spiber’s products?
A. Fancy and stylish.
B. Costly yet profitable.
C. Strong and sustainable.
D. Lightweight yet resource-consuming.
31. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The practical application of Spiber’s products.
B. The environmental advantage of Spiber’s products.
C. The technical challenges of Spiber’s products.
D. The potential market values of Spiber’s products.
D
A new study on 26 chimpanzees (黑猩猩) from zoos around the world found that chimpanzees can recognise family members and long lost friends even after decades of separation.
The participating chimpanzees were given juice while sitting at a screen flashing side by side photos of other chimps. One animal from each pair of photos had lived with the screen chimp for at least a year, while the other was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recorded where each chimpanzee were looking and for how long. Data showed their eyes spent more time staring at the pictures of their former companions.
There is also evidence that they became more intimate when shown a picture of a chimpanzee with whom they’d had more positive interactions, compared with conflicting relationships.
In the most impressive case, a 46-year-old chimpanzee named Louise repeatedly demonstrated “intense” attention upon seeing photographs of her sister Loretta and nephew Erin, whom she hadn’t seen more than 26 years. The team said Louise’s results represented the longest-lasting social memory documented in any non-human animal to date.
“We tend to see ourselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual (智力的) capacity that are very different from other animals on earth,” said Laura Simone Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow in Berkeley’s psychology department and lead author of the study. “This study is showing us how similar we are to chimpanzees.” She noted that the findings support the theory that chimps have long term social memory in humans and modern day chimps had our “last common ancestor” that lived somewhere between 5 to 7 million ago who also likely had long-term social memory.
Now that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species possess long-term social memories, researchers have more questions, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re no longer with, especially their friends and family. “Our study doesn’t determine they are doing this, but it raises questions about the possibility that they have the ability to do so,” Lewis said.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The nature of chimps.
B. The method of the study.
C. The analysis of the recorded data.
D. The layout of experimental equipment.
33. What does the underlined word “intent” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Attentive.
B. Doubtful.
C. Hesitant.
D. Emotional.
34. Why is the example of Louise in paragraph 4 mentioned?
A. To stress chimps as intelligent as human beings.
B. To explain where chimps’ social memory comes from.
C. To better demonstrate the chimps’ memory length.
D. To further prove the existence of chimps’ social memory.
35. What will the research team most probably continue to explore?
A. Whether chimps feel strong emotions to their long lost friends.
B. How to strengthen chimps’ long-term social connections.
C. How chimps recognise their close contacts after long separation.
D. Why chimps possess the amazing social memories.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,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。
Napping during the day, an ancient custom that is practiced worldwide. Short naps, which last from 20 to 30 minutes at a time, bring many mental and health benefits in multiple ways.
Short naps boost most mental functions as a whole, as will improve vitality, attention and reaction time. 36____ Because napping seems to improve creative thinking, some companies have introduced nap rooms.
What’s more, it appears the brain uses naps to process information gathered through the day. 37____ A study revealed that short naps also helped people become more confident and sensible, which resulted in better focus and efficiency at work. Napping may also lead to an improved ability to learn new skills, such as a golf swing. This is because these memories or skills are strengthened in the brain during sleep.
38____ Studies show that more consistent sleep will help lower “fight or flight” chemicals in our bodies. As a result, our blood pressure and heart rates are normalized. Napping appears to help this process for some people.
39____ One condition associated with napping longer than 30 minutes is sleep inertia (睡后迟钝). This can harm cognitive function from several minutes up to half an hour. Long or late afternoon naps can lead to difficulties falling asleep during the night. 40____
So, to maximize benefits while reducing risks, please keep naps short in the early afternoon to avoid sleep inertia and nighttime sleep disruptions.
A. But napping can come with drawbacks as well.
B. The reason for this phenomenon is mostly unknown.
C. Therefore, that appears to enhance problem-solving abilities.
D. Short naps are also linked to increased productivity and creativity.
E. Napping can also be associated with a reduced risk of heart diseases.
F. Napping should not serve as an alternative for enough nighttime rest.
G. Besides, for those aged 60 and up, longer naps may increase the risk for heart diseases.

67. 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。
Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be wonderful in their own way. My parents and I had spent forever researching summer camps online. Finally, we picked out one where I could design games, animate (制作动画) characters, and learn other cool coding (编程) stuff.
My mom said, “I like the idea of you exercising that clever brain of yours. But I also want you to get plenty of fresh air.” “Campers can choose to hike or swim every afternoon!” I said, as I clicked on the registration form.
My dad filled out the form, and weeks later, my parents dropped me off for what I thought would be a week of nonstop computer-coding fun.
I arrived at the check-in table at the same time as a camper of my age named Halley, who was wearing an adorable sunhat. Halley greeted, “We are in the same group – number 7.” Led by an advisor, we followed the green arrows to the campsite.
I surprisingly found that it was so cool and woodsy along the path. I exchanged ideas with Halley about what might come out of the camp. Halley excitedly mentioned the little animals he loved to observe and something about night sky watching.
“You gave me the best idea,” I said. “I’ll base my characters on the animals you mentioned!” Halley laughed. “I might be missing something here. Who are these mysterious characters?”
“You know, the characters we’ll be designing and animating on computers this week!” I said. “Uh, sorry. Still lost,” said Halley. “Why would we be doing computer stuff at Nature Camp?”
It was then that I realised some errors must have been made. I must have accidentally clicked on the wrong online form! We immediately raced back to the welcome table to see if I could switch over to Tech Camp, but of course it was completely full.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I forced a smile as we headed for our campsite.
_______________________________________________________________________________
“OK, I’ll have a try,” I looked at Halley thankfully.

第二节 续写范文
I forced a smile as we headed for our campsite. Disappointment flooded my heart when I thought I would miss all coding activities. Halley noticed my low spirits and comforted me, saying nature could offer endless creative inspiration for my future animation works. He promised to show me various wild animals and teach me how to observe their lively gestures carefully. We spent the whole afternoon hiking, watching birds and recording animal movements in a notebook. Gradually, I calmed down and started to enjoy the amazing natural scenery around us.
“OK, I’ll have a try,” I looked at Halley thankfully. Over the following days, I devoted myself to outdoor activities with Halley, collecting rich materials of forest creatures. At night, I sketched animal images by the campfire and drafted new game plots based on what I’d seen. Though there was no coding equipment, I gained more vivid creative materials than I expected. When the camp ended, I realized this unexpected Nature Camp brought me far more precious inspiration than Tech Camp could ever do. Sometimes imperfect plans can create the most unforgettable surprises.
