第二节（满分25分）
Para. 1:
The next morning Ann got a call. A man recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.
She was having a hard struggle in her mind, unwilling to tear herself away from Riley. Not only had it
saved her son’s life from jaws of death, but they truly regarded it as a member of their family. With
much difficulty, she told her son the news that a man would come to pick up Riley after a while.
Hearing it, Jack went silent in a second, rooting himself against the wall, speechless.
Para. 2:
An hour later, somebody knocked at the door. Jack stood there, staring at the door full of tears.
“It’s you!” Ann shouted when she opened the door. It was Dr. Alex who did the heart operation for
Jack. Seeing Jack crying in the corner, Alex hesitated for a while and then said to Jack smilingly and
gently: “Maybe it was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it. Boy, can I help to look after
you and your dog on the weekends ” All of them burst out laughing, and Ann’s joy was immense.
(注：如果学生写成狗主人是个陌生人，不是Dr. Alex，只要是“邀请Jack一起养狗，或把狗送
给Jack, 允许他经常去看狗等合情合理构思”，体现一个温情的故事都可以。)

away from the Zoo.

M: Not at first. But While I was there, I fell in love with the language and culture, and 1 also realized
that I am good at learning languages—especially German.
W: So that was when you decided to major in German

realized that German really is what I love. So now I’m a German major.
W. You’re so lucky to study what you truly love at college.
M: Don’t you love learning Engineering
W: My parents asked me to study it. It’s a long story. Now I must go to the class. It begins in just a
few minutes. Talk to you some other time.

Text 10
W: In 2010 some days after Christmas, the first dog in my life died after being hit by a car. I felt so
sad without his company. So decided to get another dog. One weekend, while I was searching for
some information for my work, I saw a picture of a lovely 4 year-old dog named Joe. He had been
rescued from Manhattan SPCA and had been badly treated. Then he was adopted by an old lady
and lived with her for one year. But the old lady was too old to take care of him and wanted to find
him a new home. When I saw his photo, I just knew he was the one. I immediately called the old
lady, but she had a very strict process and it took about two months before I was told that I could
get him. The day I was to drive up to New York, I took the day off. Sadly, one of my cats
happened to pass away that day. It was so sad, yet I could not give up my trip to get Joe. Finally,
3
he became a part of my life. So far he has lived with me for 5 years. He follows me around all day
and when my husband and I are doing work around the house, he is always the one to want to
help!

Simon Groot, a seed expert of the Netherlands, is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistant vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. He was awarded the World Food Prize on Monday.
Developing seeds has been the Groot family business for a long time. He is the sixth generation of what is called, a seedsman. He began his search for better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in 1981. When he was 47, his family's company had just been taken over by a larger corporation.
Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the moderate climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics (热带地区).He thought there was a great possibility of introducing hybrid (杂交的)vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate.
“It was neither charity nor business. It was a passion for providing farmers all over the world with good seeds；' said Groot. Now 85, he said developing seeds has always concerned him, "I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards" He added that he “could not stand" that the farmers there did not have better seeds. the time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually Saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North
America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plants also could easily become infected with diseases.
Groot received the S250,000 World Food Prize during an award ceremony at the Iowa Capitol.
24. What do we learn about Groot from Paragraph 2
A. He learned vegetable feeds did poorly in Europe.
B. He carried on a business of several generations.
C. He has introduced seeds to countries worldwide.
D. He turned his family's company into a larger one.
25. What drove Groot to develop new vegetable seeds
A. Doing charity. B. Making money.
C. Support from farmers. D. Sense of responsibility.
26. What was the challenge for fanners in Southeast Asia
' A. Having no access to high-quality seeds.
B. Having no financial support for better seeds.
C. Lacking advanced technology for growing crops.
D. Failing to export their produce to western countries.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Business Has Been Passed from Generation to Generation
B. Vegetable Seeds for Hot Areas Have Been Created
C. Family Business Serves Farmers in Southeast Asia
D. World Food Prize Goes to Dutch Seed Developer

The technology research company International Data Corporation, or IDC, has predicted a huge surge in total worldwide data in the coining years. It predicted world data demand will grow from 33 zettabytes （洋字节）in 2018 to 175 zettabytes by 2025. The world is about to have a serious data — storage problem that will only become more severe over time.
Several companies say they are exploring a possible solution. They suggest using genetic material, DNA, to store data. Experts have estimated data stored by DNA systems could be one billion times as many as those held in traditional electronic devices of comparable size.
Information about living things is stored in DNA using four different kinds of molecules （分子）. They can be represented by the letter codes A, T, C and G. Researchers have discovered that data can also be stored within DNA in the sequences （序列）of these letters. Electronic devices, however, store information in a two-letter code that produces combinations of ones and zeroes.
In order to make DNA storage succeed, digital information has to be changed to DNA storage and then back to digital data. One company working on DNA storage development is Microsoft The company announced earlier last year that it had shown the first "fully-automated" DNA storage system. The research team from Microsoft and the University of Washington reported it had successfully encoded the word “hello” in pieces of DNA and changed it back to digital data. A chemical process is used to get the DNA into a storage device.
Microsoft said DNA storage systems can not only store more data, but also hold data for much longer periods of time. For example, DNA samples from the ancient bones of animals and humans have proven that the material can last thousands of years in tough conditions.
Experts from the World Economic Forum have praised recent developments in DNA storage technologies. But the organization says much more work needs to be completed before DNA storage systems can effectively compete with electronic ones. Currently, the systems are costly and the processing time can be very long.
28. What docs the underlined word “surge“ in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Loss. B. Exchange. C. Increase. D. Share.
29. What makes DNA have bigger storage ability
A. Its bigger size compared with electronic devices.
B. Its way of storing information in a four-letter code.
C. Its fun_ction of combining letters freely.
D. Its self-reproduction characteristics.
30. What is implied in Paragraph 4
A. Developing DNA storage needs support from big companies.
B. The DNA storage system has drawn worldwide attention.
C. The DNA storage system faces great challenges.
D. Using DNA to store data can possibly be a reality.
31. What can we learn from the text
A. Researchers need to perfect the systems greatly.
B. Experts arc supportive of the electronic devices.
C. Experts are dissatisfied with the recent advance in the systems.
D. Researchers need financial support to develop the systems.

Analysis of the trial of the four-day working week has revealed great efficiency, reduced stress and increased staff engagement, fueling hopes that a better work-life balance for employees could be in sight.
Perpetual Guardian, a New Zealand financial services company, switched its 240 staff from a five-day to a four-day week and maintained their pay. Productivity increased in the four days when they worked, so there was no drop in the total amount of work done, a study of the trial released on Tuesday revealed. The trial was monitored by academics at the University of Auckland and the Auckland University of Technology. The eight-week experiment was closely watched by employers and policymakers around the world. "This is an idea whose time has come," said Andrew Barnes, Perpetual Guardian's founder. "We need to get more companies to give it a go.”
The government has conducted a study of the possibility of four-day weeks. However, research points to the complexity of achieving productivity gains in major industries such as retail （军售）， where being present is a key part of the job. Smaller companies experimenting with four-day working weeks have found performance was better in the first few weeks as excitement about the project took hold, before falling slightly. ,,The biggest concern is ensuring that the introduction of the policy doesn't lead to self-satisfaction, as there is a risk that people's productivity will slip back/' said Tammy Barker, a branch manager who was part of the trial. 'Therefore, we've spent a lot of time making sure every person in every team has their own plan as to how they're going to maintain and even improve productivity."
According to Jarrod Haar, a professor of human resource management at the Auckland University of Technology, significantly lower job stress was reported with four-day working weeks. "Beyond wellbeing, employees reported their teams were stronger and functioned better together, more satisfied with their jobs, more engaged, and that they felt their work had greater meaning,“ he said. "It is really a great way to make employees be more committed to the organization and less likely to look elsewhere for a job."
32. What changes took place in Perpetual Guardian during the experiment
A. The length of daily working hours
B. The amount of pay per week
C. The efficiency of the employees
D. The work done per month
33. What does the government' research on the four-day working week probably reveal
A. Some workers may become lazy,
B. The policy doesn't suit all industries.
C. The four-day working week won't work
D. Many employers don't approve of the trial.
34. How did Tammy Barker deal with the concern about the policy
A. By making plans for each of the employees.
B. By dividing all （he employees into different teams.
