B “If knowledge is power, then learning is a Super Power.” That’s the motto of Jim Kwik, a world leader in speed learning and best brain performance whose cutting-edge techniques and impressive mental achievements have made him a rock star of the personal transformation world. At the age of five, Jim was sitting on a chair in his classroom. Suddenly, hearing a fire engine alarm, Jim Kwik who saw firemen as superheroes lifted his chair and moved to the corridor to watch them. Standing over the chair to watch the firemen, Jim Kwik was late to react as his fellow mate pulled his chair and he got his head severely(严重地) injured. After that accident, he was never back to normal. He couldn’t remember and understand things, struggling to cope with schooling as he said once that his heart would beat out of his chest whenever his teacher asked him to read aloud a book in front of his classmates. He still remembered a teacher talking to other teachers pointing him out and naming him as “a boy with the broken brain”. His parents were very protective. But Jim never gave up! He taught himself by reading comic books every night under the blankets with the flashlight. By doing this every day he taught himself how to read in three years. Finally, Jim got a chance to have some success in school. Today, he is a highly sought-out brain trainer for top companies and organizations, with some of his videos reaching over 20 million views, and he’s known for having coached Hollywood stars like Will Smith and Hugh Jackman along with the cast of the movie X-Men. 24. What do we know about Jim Kwik? A. He heals brain and mental diseases. B. He is a world famous learning expert. C. He was injured by his classmate on purpose. D. He got injured when taking part in a fire fighting. 25. What happened to Jim after the accident? A. He never went back to school. B. He felt nervous to talk with classmates. C. He found it difficult to handle school tasks. D. He was called ”broken brain"by his classmates. 26. Which word can best describe the story of Jim Kwik? A. Tragic. B. Embarrassing. C. Inspiring. D. Entertaining. 27. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Knowledge Is a Super Power B. Learning Makes a Brain Change C. A Super Brain Guarantees Success D. An Accident Turned Out a Blessing C People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional (地区的) differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language. Last year,the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means “a left-handed person”. Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the reaction has been great. Editors are listing a number of suggestions to include in the dictionary. These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimsuit, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland. The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” used by people in New Jersey and New York City. The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”. “The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify (确认)regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down. The project is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier. 28. Which of the following word has been added to OED? A. Agley. B. Frog-drowner. C. Cuddy wifter. D. Catawampous. 29. “Ice-cold” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. brick B. dookers C. hammajang D. ahoo 30. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage? A. More than 100 countries take part in the project. B. The OED’s editors are dissatisfied with last year’s revision. C. It is challenging to recognize the written form of some regional words. D. It is necessary for English learners to have an Oxford English Dictionary. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It’s time to find the source of local words. B. The OED aims to collect new words from locals. C. The same English words can be used to say different things. D. The OED will include more regional words from around the globe. D Most environmental pollution on Earth comes from humans and their inventions, such as cars or plastic. Today, car emissions(排放物) area major source of air pollution leading to climate change, and plastics fill our ocean, creating a significant health issue to marine(海洋的) animals. And what about the electric light, thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time? Electric light can be a beautiful thing, guiding us home when the sun goes down，keeping us safe and making our homes bright. However, like carbon dioxide emissions and plastic, too much of a good thing has started to impact the environment. Light pollution, the inappropriate use of outdoor light, is affecting human health, wildlife behavior and our ability to observe stars. Light pollution is a global issue. This became obvious when the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Available online for viewing, the map shows how and where our globe is lit up at night. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia are glowing(发光) with light, while only the most remote regions on Earth(Greenland, Central African Republic and Niue) are in total darkness. Some of the most light-polluted countries in the world are Singapore, Qatar, and Kuwait. Sky glow is the brightening of the night sky, mostly over cities, due to the electric lights of cars, street lamps, offices, factories, outdoor advertising, and buildings, turning night into day for people who work and play long after sunset. People living in cities with high levels of sky glow have a hard time seeing more than a handful of stars at night. Astronomers are particularly concerned with sky glow pollution as it reduces their ability to view stars. More than 80 percent of the world’s population, and 99 percent of Americans and Europeans, live under sky glow. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The use of outdoor light must be forbidden. B. Electric light has both advantages and disadvantages. C. Electric light is the main factor to keep us safe. D. Electric light is the greatest human invention. 33. Which of the following places is least affected by sky glow? A. Qatar. B. Singapore. C. Kuwait. D. Niue. 34. Why do astronomers especially complain about sky glow? A. Sky glow costs too much. B. Sky glow has a bad effect on their sleep. C. Sky glow affects their viewing stars. D. Sky glow wastes too much electricity. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Light pollution B. Plastic pollution C. Different kinds of pollution D. Air pollution 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 Learn Faster Learning and remembering new knowledge or information completely takes time, but don’t you wish there is an easier way to remember it?___36___.
