"I wish we hadn't come on this rip!" Je's voice echoed across the narrow canyon (映谷). His father stopped, breathing heavily. "This is hard on you, but you’ve got to come through with courage!" He gentle placed his hand on the boy's shoulder "Now. I don't know if I can make it without stopping every so often. You're young, but you're strong and fast. Do you remember the way back from here to the road, if you had to go alone "
Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of Mark, his seventeen-year-old brother at their campsite. He was bitten by a snake yesterday. This morning he couldn't move. and the pain got worse. He needed medical attention right away. They had left their phone in the car, and it must have been out of power by then. Leaving Mark at the campsite and seeking help was their only choice.
“Jeff, could you do it ”
Jeff looked to the end of the canyon, several miles away. He nodded and a plan began to take hold in his mind. “What is the name of that little town we stopped, Dad " There must be a hospital there.
“Flint. We parked at the side of the road a few miles out of Flint.”
Jeff nodded. Then they continued climbing. Stone by stone, they made their way up the canyon. Gradually, Jeff's father grew smaller and smaller in the distance. Jeff waved to him and then climbed toward the road. Two hours later, he finally reached the road and struggled toward the town, almost exhausted.
“Can't stop." He thought. “Mark's in big trouble. Keep going." Suddenly, he saw a truck heading toward him. “Hey, mister!" He shouted, waving both arms. He began to jog toward the truck, and then broke into a full-speed run.
His chest was burning with every breath when the truck driver stopped by him. Jeff explained breathlessly. The driver reached for his cellphone as soon as he heard about Mark. “Better get the helicopter in there," he said immediately. But Jeff wasn't sure about that because everything got unclear and then went black and quiet. Hours later, Jeff opened his eyes to find his father on a chair nearby. “You're a hero, son,” his father said with a smile. “You had the helicopter sent into the canyon after Mark. I can't tell you how happy I was when I saw it overhead. They got him to the hospital. He's going to be fine soon. I'm so proud of you!”
24.Why did Jeff and his father climb up the canyon

C. They were meeting Jeff’s brother. D. They were searching for their campsite.
25. What happened to Mark

C. He was hit by a truck. D. He lost his phone.
26.Why did Jeff's father let him go alone

The fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities. While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars, that won't help the millions who are dying in the meantime, and so some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.
In March 2016, 10 London pigeons became famous. These pigeons took to the sky from Primrose Hill in north London, wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution Once in the air, the backpacks sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.
The pigeons and their backpacks were just the latest in a series of increasingly desperate attempts to monitor and control air pollution. London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years, and it often rises to more than three times the European Union's legal limit.
Another promising approach can be found in Beijing, after China declared a “war against pollution" in 2014. A seven-metre-high “Smog Free Tower", designed by a Dutch scientist, Daan Roosegaarde, opened in Beijing's 751 D Park in September 2016.
It is a huge, outdoor air purifier. Airborne particles (颗粒) are sucked into the tower where they receive a positive change The particles are then caught by a negatively charged dust-removal plate and clean air is blown out of the other end. "Changing smog particles does not take much current." Roosegaarde said. As for what to do with the collected PM waste, he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste. Prince Charles owns a set of “smog free" cufflinks(袖扣). If collected on at a big scale, Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material.
Mexico City has an alternative solution. Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building, Ailison Dring, a Berlin-based architect, managed to catch light and wind from all sides. She is now making a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oxygen. “It means that you are actually taking carbon(碳) out of the sky, transforming it into a material, and then using it to build," says Dring.
The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Even if none of the ideas take off, at least Prince Charles' cufflinks, the special building surface and pigeons wearing back-packs will have brought the issue more to the public's attention.
28. The 10 pigeons in London were used to
A. monitor air pollution B. warn Londoners
C. update weather forecast D. promote backpacks
29. What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower
A. Its power consumption is high. B. It is built of agricultural by-products.
C.PM waste from it can be reused. D. It can attract light and wind from all sides.
30. What's the best title for the passage
A. When can humans get rid of smog B. How are the world's cities fighting smog
C. Why is technology used to fight smog D. What makes smog a worldwide problem
31. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
B.
D.
1: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
第二节:根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Stop Negative Talk
“I'm so fat,” one of your friends says. The girl next to her joins in, “Well, I hate my hair today." Without thinking, you respond: “No, you are not fat! I am fat. And my hair is flat and boring." 32
It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts there is often pressure for you to join in. 33 Maybe it is because “just talking" feels harmless. But before you know it, those opinions flow out of your conversations and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-respect.
34 When you start talking about yourself in a negative way, you are not only affecting your self-respect, but your friends'! When you criticize yourself, your friends might think you have the same standards for them. You have heard that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated, but there is also value in treating yourself like you treat your friends. If you wouldn't criticize your friend for the same thing, chances are that you are being too hard on yourself. So, don't start it.
But what if someone else starts For example, your friend feels insecure about how well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down: “I suck at soccer." 35 Ask him, " Do you really think that Why " Maybe he is actually upset about a comment someone made, or is just getting down on himself over one bad play. Whatever it is, talking through the real issue will help him more than slipping into another negative talk.
It is important to talk to your friend about your insecurities, but make sure you are not talking about them just to put yourself down. 36 Instead of just focusing on the negative, talk about what makes you and our friends beautiful and unique—including what you love about your body and what you have accomplished. When you show yourself love, you set yourself as an example, and everyone benefits from you positively.
A. Criticizing yourself helps nobody.
B. Negative talk affects self-respect
C. But why is it acceptable to talk so negatively
D. But why do we hesitate to praise ourselves
E: All it takes is just one comment and the negative talk starts.
F. It is better to resist negative conversations and create more balanced ones.
G. Before everyone puts himself down, see if you can get to the root of the problem.

Green is the Way to Go
Today, communities around the US are going green. For some, that means paying attention to the environment by recycling of controlling pollution. But others are turning their neighborhoods green by planting community gardens.
Green Brings Benefits
A growing number of government and community leaders point out that gardening is a great way to improve the appearance of a neighborhood, It also unites neighborhood residents (居民). Research at Texas A &. M University and the University of Illinois shows that city areas with more green have less crime.
One Neighborhood 's Story
Norris Square in Philadelphia is a neighborhood that has benefits from a community garden. In the 1980s, Norris Square was known for its run-down buildings and vacant parking lots filled with rubbish. Then a group of Puerto Rican women planted vegetables and flowers in one vacant lot. Soon there was also an out-door kitchen and colorful murals(壁画) showing rural life in Puerto Rico.
The community garden became a place of beauty and a source of fresh food for Norris Square residents. It also became a source of neighborhood pride. Soon people were working together to do home repairs, clean up other vacant lots, remove graffiti, and plant more trees and flowers throughout the neighborhood.
Today, instead of fights in the park, there are festivals. Instead of abandoned cars along the streets, there are trees. People can now enjoy a neighborhood that is cleaner, safer, and more beautiful.

Dear Jim
How are you going these days Knowing that you’re concerned about campus environment, I’m delighted to tell you that a variety of activities themed “campus Green Living Day” will be held in our school next Friday. So, I am writing to invite you to join us.
The activity that I am going to take part in is called “Rubbish Classification”. As you know, rubbish is an unavoidable part of our life. Large amounts of rubbish, such as leftover food, waste paper and used plastic bottles are produced every day. However, dealing with rubbish has always been a big headache and rubbish is becoming a major environmental problem in our school. So it is time that rubbish classification should be practiced. By classifying rubbish, we can recycle useful materials, save resources and reduce environmental pollution. Therefore, rubbish classification is a scientific and effective way to manage rubbish.
I hope we can do our part e and join us! I’m looking forward to your participation.
