When I first met George, I was in my early 30s. My children were just entering school life allowing me to escape from endless housework. At 65, George had recently left work and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, we loved painting and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.
George was an energetic man who lived life to the full. He loved his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken. As the only male in a painting class full of women, George quite enjoyed it. He ruled the roost (栖息处) and we were his hens. He loved his singular (单一的) role and looked after his hens with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with passion and devotion. He carefully housed his expensive painting tools in a box—a red metal tool box—built to bear hard knocks. Not fancy, but smooth and shiny and very red.
In 2004, I learned that he was very ill and went to visit him. “He's very confused and may not recognize you,” Penny, his daughter, warned. But as I bent over, George opened his eyes. “Betty!” he said, and with surprising strength, held my hand. “I've always been hoping to leave my box to you. I'm afraid I can't paint anymore, and you have the best talent and are most likely to use it,” he said. With tears in my eyes, I accepted the gift on the proviso (附带条件) he could take it back at any time. He never did. He died two days later.
Today I still use much of his equipment kept in the box. The box is still in good shape, very red. The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has worn off.
But that's all right because to my mind some things, like friendship, are beyond price.
24. Why did George go to painting class
A. He wanted to please his children.
B. He wanted to enjoy school life again.
C. He wanted to make new friends there.
D. He wanted to develop a worthwhile hobby.
25. What's the author's purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce a popular hobby. B. To describe a precious friendship.
C. To remember a red tool box. D. To appreciate her friend's help.
26. Which word can describe George according to the text
A. Honest. B. Brave.
C. Caring. D. Lucky.
27. What can we learn from the text
A. The tool box is well kept by the author.
B. George took the red tool box back in the end.
C. George was shy and didn't talk much in the class.
D. The author thought their painting class was boring.
C
“Iris scan please,” the bank's computer voice tells you. You step up and the computer reads your eye, comparing it to the stored file it has of your iris. The images had better match—otherwise you won't be able to get your money.
Iris scanning and other technologies, such as fingerprint and voice scanning, have appeared in many science fiction movies in the past. Today, They are common at work, the bank, the airport, and your local prison. The iris scan, fingerprint scan, and voice scan are all examples of biometrics, a fast-developing area of automatic personal identification technology. Basically, biometrics uses various ways to verify a person's identity, based on the people’s unique characteristics, including fingerprints, voices, irises, body heat patterns, facial images, handprints, signatures and so on.
Iris scans currently give the highest level of accuracy among all the available biometrics systems. Another technology, full facial scans, is currently in use at border crossings and airports. Facial scanning equipment can actually track and identify moving faces within a crowd.
The potential of biometrics is exciting and encouraging. With continued development, testing and application, current technologies will become even more effective in the future. Soon, the days of password and car keys will be gone. Just don't leave home without your fingerprints!
28. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ______ .
A. example B. explanation C. comment D. conclusion
29. The underlined word "verify" in Paragraph 2 probably means " ______ ".
A. protect B. prove C. develop D. change
30. Which is the most accurate form of biometrics
A. The voice scan. B. The fingerprint scan. C. The iris scan. D. The facial scan.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the future of biometrics
A. He feels hopeful about it B. He feels doubtful about it.
C. He is worried about it. D. He is uncertain about it.
D
The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the fact can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3500 and became a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow, a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is connected to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.
“ There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”
32. What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs
A. 3500 black bears were killed in Florida.
B. The wolf can’t be killed in Switzerland.
C. The serow is protected in China.
D. Three old Chinese men’s loss was made up for .
33. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story
A. Protecting animals needs great efforts
B. Protecting animals can bring economic development.
C. Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.
D. Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
34. Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with
A. We should pay more attention to animal protection.
B. Human development should be considered first.
C. It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
D. We should consider both the environment and human interests.
35. We can infer from the text that__________.
A. animals always do no harm to people
B. last bear hunt in Florida took place more than twenty years ago
C. protecting animals is more important than protecting people’s interest
D. the three old men arrested in China days ago knew that the serow is a protected species.

One morning Ann’s neighbour Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. It was a beautiful dog, which attracted Tracy a lot. So Tracy thought the owner of the dog must have been worried about it and looked for it around, she was a warm-hearted woman, so she decided to help the lost dog. In no time, she asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND flyers (传单), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, which they had started to call Riley. They began to love the dog, which was so clever and cute that every member of the family loved it. One day, when Ann arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
Paragraph 1:
However, the next morning Tracy got a call.

When I first met George, I was in my early 30s. My children were just entering school life allowing me to escape from endless housework. At 65, George had recently left work and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, we loved painting and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.
George was an energetic man who lived life to the full. He loved his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken. As the only male in a painting class full of women, George quite enjoyed it. He ruled the roost (栖息处) and we were his hens. He loved his singular (单一的) role and looked after his hens with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with passion and devotion. He carefully housed his expensive painting tools in a box—a red metal tool box—built to bear hard knocks. Not fancy, but smooth and shiny and very red.
In 2004, I learned that he was very ill and went to visit him. “He's very confused and may not recognize you,” Penny, his daughter, warned. But as I bent over, George opened his eyes. “Betty!” he said, and with surprising strength, held my hand. “I've always been hoping to leave my box to you. I'm afraid I can't paint anymore, and you have the best talent and are most likely to use it,” he said. With tears in my eyes, I accepted the gift on the proviso (附带条件) he could take it back at any time. He never did. He died two days later.
Today I still use much of his equipment kept in the box. The box is still in good shape, very red. The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has worn off.
But that's all right because to my mind some things, like friendship, are beyond price.
24. Why did George go to painting class
A. He wanted to please his children.
B. He wanted to enjoy school life again.
C. He wanted to make new friends there.
D. He wanted to develop a worthwhile hobby.
25. What's the author's purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce a popular hobby. B. To describe a precious friendship.
C. To remember a red tool box. D. To appreciate her friend's help.
26. Which word can describe George according to the text
A. Honest. B. Brave.
C. Caring. D. Lucky.
27. What can we learn from the text
A. The tool box is well kept by the author.
B. George took the red tool box back in the end.
C. George was shy and didn't talk much in the class.
D. The author thought their painting class was boring.

“Iris scan, please,” the bank's computer voice tells you. You step up and the computer reads your eye, comparing it to the stored file it has of your iris. The images had better match—otherwise you won't be able to get your money.
Iris scanning and other technologies, such as fingerprint and voice scanning, have appeared in many science fiction movies in the past. Today, They are common at work, the bank, the airport, and your local prison. The iris scan, fingerprint scan, and voice scan are all examples of biometrics, a fast-developing area of automatic personal identification technology. Basically, biometrics uses various ways to verify a person's identity, based on the people’s unique characteristics, including fingerprints, voices, irises, body heat patterns, facial images, handprints, signatures and so on.
Iris scans currently give the highest level of accuracy among all the available biometrics systems. Another technology, full facial scans, is currently in use at border crossings and airports. Facial scanning equipment can actually track and identify moving faces within a crowd.
The potential of biometrics is exciting and encouraging. With continued development, testing and application, current technologies will become even more effective in the future. Soon, the days of password and car keys will be gone. Just don't leave home without your fingerprints!

The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the fact can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3500 and became a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow, a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is connected to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.
“ There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”
32. What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs
A 3500 black bears were killed in Florida.
B. The wolf can’t be killed in Switzerland.
C. The serow is protected in China.
D. Three old Chinese men’s loss was made up for .
33. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story
A. Protecting animals needs great efforts
B. Protecting animals can bring economic development.
C. Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.
D. Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
34 Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with
A. We should pay more attention to animal protection.
B. Human development should be considered first.
C. It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
D. We should consider both the environment and human interests.
35. We can infer from the text that__________.
A. animals always do no harm to people
B. last bear hunt in Florida took place more than twenty years ago
C. protecting animals is more important than protecting people’s interest
D. the three old men arrested in China days ago knew that the serow is a protected species.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。保护动物有时会和人们的利益产生冲突，那么面对这样的情况该如何做呢？文章主要介绍了世界范围内，动物保护的现状。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。依据第三段中的“Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow, a kind of protected animal.( 几天前，在中国，三名老人因杀死一种受保护动物而被警方抓获)”可知鬣羚在中国是受保护的动物。故选C项 。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。依据第四段的首句“However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is connected to economic development.( 然而，这些故事并不总是意味着动物保护会因为人类利益而停止，特别是当它与经济发展有关时)”可知，上面谈到的那些故事并不总是意味着因人类利益而停止动物保护。因此推断下文所举的Zhou Weisen的例子目的是说保护动物的同时也可以带来经济发展，故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。依据最后一段““ There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”(“对于我们是否应该更加关注环境或人类发展的问题，我们的答案可能永远不会有一个标准的答案。” 牛津大学的英国专家罗伯特·梅说,“但我们不应该把任何一方放在一边，因为未来是不确定的。”)”可知，Robert May认为对于我们是否应该更加关注环境还是人类发展这一问题，可能永远没有一个标准的答案。但是我们不能将任何一方暂放置一边。这说明他认为我们既要保护环境又要考虑人类的利益，故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。依据第二段“About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994.( 2015年10月，美国佛罗里达州大约有300只黑熊被杀。这是自1994年以来该州首次捕熊。)”可知，2015-1994=21，2015年10月，佛罗里达州举行了21年后的首次猎熊活动，故最后一次捕熊发生在20多年前。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。阿姆斯特丹已决定将汽油车从道路上移除。 到2030年，只允许无污染车辆上路。文章主要说明了荷兰为保护环境做出的巨大努力。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自90年代以来，荷兰和许多其他欧洲国家一起为保护环境做出了巨大努力。根据后文“since the 90s”可知，应用现在完成时，主语后接介词短语along with many other European countries，不影响主语的人称和数，谓语动词应根据主语的人称和数来确定，主语为The Netherlands，助动词用has。故填has made。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：旨在清除城市污染车辆的《清洁空气行动计划》是最新的措施。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The Clean Air Action Plan，先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这项新政策很重要，因为荷兰的空气污染超过了欧洲标准，从而导致呼吸系统疾病的重大风险。分析句子结构可知cause在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处与上文构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作结果状语。故填causing。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：“污染往往是一个无声的杀手，”负责该市交通的Sharon Dijksma说。作表语，表示“杀手”应用名词killer，冠词a提示用单数。故填killer。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：“污染往往是一个无声的杀手，”负责该市交通的Sharon Dijksma说。结合句意表示“负责……”可知，短语为be responsible for。故填for。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：为购买电动汽车的人提供充电站。根据上文“The city will stop using gas vehicles gradually and increase the use of cleaner vehicles.”可知，应用一般将来时，主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be offered。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：政府可能会提供资金和特别停车许可证，以鼓励使用环保汽车。修饰后文be动词，应用副词probably，作状语。故填probably。
63题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，汽车仍然是二氧化氮和颗粒物污染的主要来源。上文提到荷兰已经是世界上对自行车最友好的城市之一，后文则说荷兰的汽车仍然是二氧化氮和颗粒物污染的主要来源，前后为转折关系，且由逗号隔开，应用however，句首单词首字母要大写。故填However。
【64题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这就是为什么他们计划禁止所有污染汽车的原因。空处引导表语从句，从句中缺少原因状语，应用why。故填why。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：事实上，布鲁塞尔已经在考虑采纳这项政策。结合句意表示“考虑做某事”可知，短语为consider doing sth.。故填adopting。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
One morning, Ann’s neighbour Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. It was a beautiful dog, which attracted Tracy a lot. So Tracy thought the owner of the dog must have been worried about it and looked for it around, she was a warm-hearted woman, so she decided to help the lost dog. In no time, she asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND flyers (传单), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, which they had started to call Riley. They began to love the dog, which was so clever and cute that every member of the family loved it. One day, when Ann arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
Paragraph 1:
However, the next morning Tracy got a call.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
However, the next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter had seen the flyer and recognized his lost dog. So he called the number on the flyer. Hearing this, Tracy started crying, and told him, “My friend’s son had a heart operation not long ago, and one day, he suffered a heart attack. It was the dog that saved my friend’s son.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, but saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. The dog was very happy to see his owner again and dashed to him in no time. After a few moments, Peter said. “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you; maybe you should keep it. And I can come to see him at times.” Hearing this, everybody was wild with joy, and the dog wagged his tail, too.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，Ann的邻居Tracy发现一只走失的狗在当地的小学附近徘徊，她决定帮助丢失的狗。她问安她是否能照看一下那条狗。Ann说她只能看一天。后来这只狗救了Ann患有心脏病的孩子Jack，Ann一家决定收养这只狗。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：然而，第二天早上Tracy接到了一个电话。所以后文应该是讲述狗的主人Peter来寻回这条狗，Tracy非常舍不得伤心，并告诉狗的主人狗救了她朋友孩子的故事；第二段开头是：Peter开车去Ann家接他的狗，本段应该写Peter看到Ann家中孩子不舍得狗离开后的反应，他决定让狗留在Ann的家里。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：heart operation, heart attack, dash to等高级词汇；如非谓语动词的运用Hearing this, Tracy started crying, and told him……；强调句It was the dog that saved my friend’s son.等高级句式。
