When I left school, I worked in television for many years in the UK. I had to work on weekends, early mornings, late nights and public holidays. I had little time with my wife and kids. But I was paid highly for my job. And during work, I developed a love for animals.
I quit my job in 1994. And I went back to university to have a degree in animal behavior. I got my degree when I was about 55. My wife and I came to Tasmania, Australia for a holiday in 2000. We went into a wildlife park because I wanted to study the Tasmanian devils (袋獾). During the trip, we decided to run a wildlife park there.
However, later we realized the wildlife park was much more difficult to run than we had thought. Many Tasmanian wildlife parks were not looking very good at all. It was quite a challenge. My wife and I were 58 when we took over a wildlife park. We were working 10 hours a day, seven days a week. I was really thankful to my wife.
We finally built the park up. Then I tried to rewrite the rules on keeping animals and get the other wildlife park owners on board. I managed to get several people to join in and we did move things forward. For example, we made welfare (福利) mles for some animals. And we also developed a rule that anyone wanting to take over a wildlife park in Tasmania must have qualifications (资格). Besides, I set up a project for tiie Tasmanian devils.
In 2007, I decided to run a long-distance race to raise money for the devil project. The race was hard. I’m not a runner; I was 64. Finally, I successfully completed the running and raised the money required. Now I’m still on the journey for the Tasmanian animals.

If you are a fan of medical films, then you will know there are emergency helicopter services that will take badly injured patients to hospitals long distances away. You probably also know that in these films most ambulances (救护车) are on wheels and go across city streets where there are fewer traffic jams than in real life.
But now, Israel’s Urban Aeronautics, announced that it made an agreement to work with Hatzolah Air to produce and develop its CityHawk aircraft as an emergency medical service. The CityHawk is small and can fly anywhere and land anywhere, making it able to work in cities above the traffic jam. It has no wings outside and can work even in bad weather conditions.
“We are excited to work with Hatzolah Air on the development of our CityHawk vehicle,” said Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Urban Aeronautics. “Its small size will enable it to land in the middle of a busy city street, making it a perfect fit for medical taslis by greatly reducing the time it takes to arrive on-scene, treat and transport sigk or injured patients to medical facilities.”
“One of Hatzolah’s most important goals is to be somewhere witliin minutes. Unlike helicopters, we can land anywhere within minutes,” Yoeli said. “We will be able to improve the care of patients. They want to be equipped with the best aircraft.” Hatzolah Air’s president Eli Rowe said that he foresees (预测) the possible need for 800 CityHawks since it is a six-passenger vehicle that can carry a pilot, a patient and a team of professionals.
Urban Aeronautics is working on certification (认证) for emergency use of its CityHawk aircraft. The development of the flying ambulance is expected to take up to five years but a model will be ready sooner. A flying ambulance may be coming to a city near you soon.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To give an example of medical rescue.
B. To lead to the topic of the flying ambulance.
C. To show the future market for aircraft medical service.
D. To tell the advantages of emergency medical helicopters.
9. What do we know about the CityHawk
A. It makes medical tasks in cities more convenient.
B. It will take the place of ambulances on city roads.
C. It is difficult to operate in bad weather conditions.
D. It can carry enough medical supplies immediately.
10. What’s Rafi Yoeli’s attitude towards the development of the CityHawk
A. Worried. B. Doubtful.
C. Positive. D. Surprised.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The CityHawk has got certification from the government.
B. The CityHawk faces great difficulties to become a reality.
C. The CityHawk draws great attention of hospitals.
D. The CityHawk will come into use in the near future.
D
So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances. Fortunately, thanks to modem technology, the people you miss are often only a phone call or a text message away. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.
In a study, researchers did various experiments. In one, they asked 200 people to imagine what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone, and llicn asked people to do one or the other at random. Although people thought that a phone call would be more mortifying, it actually made the experience better. “People reported they did form a stronger bond with their old friends on the phone versus email, and they did not feci uncomfortable,” co-author Amit Kumar said.
In another experiment, researchers had strangers connect by texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio (音频). They found that bqth forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel more connected tlian when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a psychologist, says people tend to text instead of calling because of convenience, as they can organize information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient considering the effects of the message,” she explains. “Each parly is more present, and therefore, it is able to figure out the meaning behind the conversation quickly without thinking on the endless possible meanings behind words.”
12. What does the underlined word “mortifying” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Puzzling. B. Exciting.
C. Embarrassing. D. Disappointing.
13. What advantage does a phone call have over an email according to the study
A. It takes more patience.
B. It brings people closer.
C. It proves more relaxing.
D. It makes people more friendly.
14. Why do people consider texting convenient
A. They can make themselves clear without being disturbed.
B. They would easily keep the messages for future use.
C. They can freely express their good or bad feelings.
D. Tliey would avoid some unpleasant topics.
15. What can we infer from Romanoff’s words in the last paragraph
A. It is easy to express one’s meaning through texting.
B. It is necessary to guess the meaning behind words.
C. People can understand each other more easily by phone calls.
D. People should use simple words to express themselves in emails.

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 would you feel if you were sharing a personal story and noticed that your friend wasn’t really listening You probably wouldn’t be too excited. Without active listening, people often feel unheard and unacknowledged (未得到充分认可). 16
Listen without making judgements.
Most people tend to judge others during conversation. 17 If you let your opinions come into play, they may ruin the conversation. However, if you enter a discussion with the goal of understanding someone else’s opinion, they will want to have deeper discussions with you.
18
Physically showing that you’re listening doesn’t come naturally for everybody. But if someone is ready to open up to you, and you sit back with your arms crossed and don’t say a word, they’re not going to say much. To encourage someone to keep talking, focus on the speaker by turning your head and body to face them and by making eye contact.
Ask questions.
Asking questions is one of the best ways to show you’re interested. If someone is telling you about their ski trip, don’t respond with, “That’s nice.” 19 Instead, you can ask, “How long have you been skiing ” or “What was your favorite part of the trip ” The person will think highly of you because you have asked a few questions.
Think before responding.
After the speaker has finished talking, a good listener may take some time before responding. Simply take a few seconds to think or say, “Give me a second to think about that.” Doing either makes the speaker first feel you’re listening to what they’re saying. 20 Last but not least, it will make the speaker feel valuable as they see you processing what they’ve said.
A. Use positive body language.
B. Pay attention to the speaker’s judgement.
C. That would show a lack of interest and disrespect.
D. Give the speaker a chance to correct your understanding.
E. But judging isn’t helpful when you’re having a conversation.
F. Then they will know you want to be thoughtful in your response.
G. That’s why it’s important for everyone to learn how to be a better listener.

I looked at my mom, and then she gave me a comforting smile and said, “Don’t worry, honey. Everything will be fine. And we will leave the hospital soon.” I smiled back weakly and once again began to look at the door and check the time every ten seconds. Finally, the doctor came in.
“Let’s take you back for some X-rays,” he said.
I slowly followed him through the door and to a dark room where I was asked to lie on a tabic.
“Okay. I need you to hold your breath for just a few seconds. You won’t feel anything, so don’t worry. Ready One... Two... Three.”
A few minutes later, I was back in the examination room with my parents. They both took turns to tell me everything was going to be fine. I tried to believe them, but inside I had a feeling that they were wrong. After what seemed like forever, the dpetor relumed and said, “you have scoliosis (脊 柱侧弯). And your only choice is surgery (手术).”|
He lit up my X-ray film, which showed my spine (脊柱) was in the shape of an S. After this, he said a lot more that I either didn’t catch or just didn’t understand. I was too upset.
Surgery day came even faster than I expected. A mask was placed over my nose and mouth. Before I knew it, everything went black. I woke up eight hours later. The surgery was successful but not easy. I was given two units of blood during the surgery.
Later ont the doctor came in to Help me walk for the first time. It was extremely painful for me lo stand. So, I kept telling myself I couldn’t do it.

Dear Kelly,
　Knowing you have been in low spirits since you failed the mid-term Chinese exam, I’m really concerned about you.
　Actually, everyone goes upwards and downwards during our growth. Besides, it is normal that beginners have difficulty learning Chinese. However, it’s no use just feeling regret about it. Just cheer up and keep on working hard. If needed, I can help you with your Chinese learning in the second half of the term. I believe all your efforts will pay off eventually.
　Hope you can get rid of the bad mood soon.
　Yours,
　Li Hua
第二节
Paragraph 1:
　After that day, I recovered at a surprising rate. I was expected to stay in hospital for at least a week or two. But I came out of hospital after only four days. I was told that I would stay in bed for at least six months. Actually, I went back to school part-time in less than a month. Every time I achieved something, it raised my confidence. Once I stopped looking at the glass as half empty, and saw everything with a more positive attitude, I got better faster than anyone had ever expected.
Paragraph 2:
　Today, my life is filled with hope. Though I still receive treatment sometimes, I don’t worry anymore and I believe everything is going to be fine. I start to join some school clubs and do yoga. I admit things are not always easy. My spine can no longer be as healthy as before. But I find my way around things. With a positive attitude to what I have, I now know that there is nothing I cannot do. What doesn’t kill me truly does make me stronger.
