Even now,almost a year after their astonishing act of group heroism,the dozens of people who risked their lives to save two boys from drowning in Panama City Beach,are still remembered.
The story began on July 8,2017.Members of the Ursrey family,eight in total,were enjoying an evening together at the beach.As the sun sank lower on the horizon,the two boys—Noah,11,and Stephen,8—took their skateboards and walked into the waves without the grown-ups noticing.When the boys were about 70 yards from shore,they realised that the ocean pulled them out to sea.After trying and failing to paddle back,they started waving and screaming for help.But the lifeguards had clocked out for the evening.
The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Brittany and Tabatha Monroe,a married couple from Georgia,wandered by.They didn’t see the boys at first,but they heard them.
They jumped into the water and easily reached the brothers,who were still in fairly shallow water.The woman reassured the frightened boys and seized their skateboards,telling them they would be safe and then discovered that they,too,were now in a world of trouble.They couldn’t get back to shore and could barely and only occasionally hit the sandy bottom with their feet.After a few minutes,it was clear to the woman that they were all trapped in a terrible whirlpool.
Then scores of tourists were walking to them,hand in hand,forming a line.Soon the first person held the woman’s hand.In turn,her husband and the two boys joined her.The long line moved slowly until they were back to the safety of the beach.
The rescuers call it the Human Chain.But it was the deeply “human” aspect of the rescuers’ cooperation that made it so astonishing and successful.
24.What happened to the two boys
A.They got into deep sea by chance.
B.They couldn’t be seen in the sea.
C.They went out without supper.
D.They met with danger in the sea.

The researchers say a person loses two months for every kilogram overweight they are—and seven years for smoking a packet of cigarettes a day.
Unusually,the Edinburgh university team found their answers by analysing differences in people’s genetic code or DNA.Finally they think it will show new ways of helping us to live longer.
The group used the genetic code of more than 600,000 people who are taking part in a natural experiment.If someone smokes,drinks,drops out of school and is overweight,it can be difficult to identify the impact of one specific unhealthy behaviour.
Instead,the researchers turned to the natural experiment.Some people carry mutations(变异) in their DNA that increase or make them more likely to put on weight,so researchers were able to compare those programmed to eat more with those who were not.The research team also found specific mutations in human DNA that alter lifespan.
●Mutations in a gene(a set of instructions in DNA) that is involved in running the immune system could add seven months of life on average.
●People with a mutation that increased levels of bad cholesterol(胆固醇) knocked eight months off lifespan.
●A rare mutation in a gene—APOE—linked to dementia(痴呆) reduced lifespan by 11 months.
●And one that made smoking more appealing cut lives by five months.
Dr Joshi says that while genes do influence lifespan,“you’ve got even more influence” through the choices you make.Dr Joshi said,“We hope to discover genes affecting lifespan to give us new information about ageing and construct treatment for ageing.”
There are also some disease mutations that clearly affect lifespan and to destructive effect,such as the Huntington’s gene.People with Huntington’s often die in their 20s.
However,in order to follow people until the end of their lives,many of the people studied were born before 1940.
28.What is the most difficult for the researchers to find
A.The differences in people’s genetic code.
B.The reasons why people put on weight very easily.
C.The results of many natural and massive experiments.
D.One bad behaviour’s effect on people with many bad behaviours.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If someone smokes,drinks,drops out of school and is overweight,it can be difficult to identify the impact of one specific unhealthy behaviour.”可知,研究人员很难发现一种不良行为对有许多不良行为的人影响(是怎样的)。故选D项。
29.Which of the following mutations affects lifespan most greatly
A.One linked to controlling immune system.
B.One increasing unhealthy cholesterol.
C.One called APOE involved in dementia.
D.One making smoking more attractive.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据“A rare mutation in a gene—APOE—linked to dementia reduced lifespan by 11 months.”可知,一种叫作APOE的痴呆症对寿命的影响最大。故选C项。
30.What’s the meaning of Dr Joshi’s study
A.To help stop mutations.
B.To find diseases earlier.
C.To make people live longer.
D.To reduce the effects of genes.
答案:C
解析:目的意图题。根据倒数第三段中的“We hope to discover genes affecting lifespan to give us new information about ageing and construct treatment for ageing.”可知,Dr Joshi研究的目的是让人们活得更久。故选C项。
31.Why did researchers mainly study people born before 1940
A.To follow them until they die.
B.To educate them an extra year.
C.To show they are more important.
D.To make them live happier.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“However,in order to follow people until the end of their lives,many of the people studied were born before 1940.”可知,研究人员主要研究1940年前出生的人是为了跟随他们直到他们死去。故选A项。
D
Many people spend more than four hours per day on WeChat,and it is redefining the word “friend”.Does friending someone on social media make him or her your friend in real life
Robin Dunbar,a professor at Oxford University,found that only 15,of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has,could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends.WeChat may show a similar pattern.
Those with whom you attended a course together,applied for the same part-time job,went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat friends.In chat records,the only message may be a system notice,“You have accepted somebody’s friend request.”Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on “Moments”,you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends.Also,you may be disturbed by mass messages(群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”,including requests for voting for their children or friends,links from other websites and cookie-cutter(千篇一律的) blessings in holidays.
You would have thought about deleting this type of “friends” and sort out your connections.But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success.Besides,it would be really awkward if they found that you have unfriended them already.Then,you keep increasing your “friends” in social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested.But the fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing number of your friends in social media.
If the number of your friends reaches 150,keeping these relationships can be tough to you,and sometimes even will make you anxious.According to Robin Dunbar,150 is the limit of the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.
32.What can we learn from Robin Dunbar’s finding in paragraph 2
A.A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.
B.Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.
C.Among our social media friends,only a few people matter.
D.Only 15 people of a person’s Facebook friends can be close friends.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“...found that only 15,of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has,could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends.”可知,在我们的社交媒体朋友中,只有几个人很重要。故选C项。
33.What does the third paragraph tell us about most of your WeChat friends
A.You have deep communication with them.
B.You benefit a lot from their mass messages.
C.You just have a nodding acquaintance with them.
D.You become friends with them in important occasions.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...but failed take up most of your WeChat friends.In chat records,the only message may be a system notice,‘You have accepted somebody’s friend request.’”可知,你和你的微信朋友只是点头之交而已。故选C项。
34.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Removing unfamiliar friends in WeChat.
B.Strengthening ties with your WeChat friends.
C.Keeping increasing your friends in social media.
D.Clicking “like” on pictures posted by your friends.
答案:A
解析:代词指代题。根据第四段中的“You would have thought about deleting this type of ‘friends’and sort out your connections.But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success.”可知,你可能会考虑删除这种类型的“朋友”,并整理你的朋友圈。但实际上你并没有这么做,因为你被教导社交网络对一个人的成功是有价值的。由此可知that指的是“删除微信中不熟悉的朋友”。故选A项。
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.We will be anxious if we make friends online.
B.We should avoid making any friends in social media.
C.We should make as many friends as possible in social media.
D.We have difficulty managing relationships with over 150 people.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If the number of your friends reaches 150,keeping these relationships can be tough to you,and sometimes even will make you anxious.”可知“我们很难管理与150多人的关系”。故选D项。

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。
Every minute,every single day,about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans. 36 And to date,only 9% of that has been recycled.
We buy a bottle of water,drink it for a few minutes,and toss its permanent packaging “away”.We eat potato chips,finish them,then throw their permanent packaging “away”.We buy produce,take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap,and then throw its permanent packaging “away”.
The cycle is endless,and it happens countless times every single day. 37 As far as we try to toss a piece of plastic—whether it’s into a recycling bin or not—it does not disappear.Chances are,it ends up polluting our communities,oceans or waterways in some form.
For years,we’ve been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through better individual action. 38 But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.
Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans;we have to get to the source of the problem and slow down the production of all this plastic waste.Think about it:if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on,your first step wouldn’t be to start mopping.You’d first cut the flooding off at its source—the tap. 39
We need corporations—those like Coca-Cola,Unilever,Starbucks and Neatlé that continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles—to step up and take their responsibility for the mess they’ve created. 40 We will continue to do our part,but it’s time for the world’s largest corporations to do theirs.
A.This is their problem to deal with.
B.Plastic pollution is becoming very serious.
C.But here is the problem—there is no “away”.
D.In many ways,our plastic problem is no different.
E.We think that if we simply recycle we’re doing our part.
F.It’s impossible for us to get rid of plastic pollution completely.
G.Since the 1950s,some 8.3bn tons of plastic have been produced worldwide.
答案:36~40 GCEDA

Like the little boy,parents too often want to protect their children from struggle in the 46 of love.They don’t realise that their children need to struggle,to experience 47 ,to deal with disappointment,and to solve their own problems.Only in this way 48 children strengthen their emotional strength,become 49 and develop the skills necessary for the even bigger struggles they will meet throughout their lives.Children experiencing sufferings can 50 the ups and downs of life.
However,it isn’t helpful either in this case when parents 51 lectures(训斥),blame and shame to what the child is experiencing.Mothers 52 to say,“Stop crying and acting like a spoiled boy.You can’t always get what you want.” These 53 words should be avoided.Instead,parents can offer their loving support.You can say,“Don’t lose heart.Be brave!You will succeed if you try again.” Then comes the tough part—no 54 and no lectures.Simply allow him to discover that he can 55 his disappointment and figure out what he can do to get what he wants in the future.

Jack and his wife Tonya were sailing around Africa with their friends Max and Sasha.One day they saw a big fishing boat.It was moving fast.
“Hello!” they shouted.The men on the boat looked at them angrily.Max looked carefully at the boat.
“Something’s wrong with their fishing net,” he said.They got nearer to the net.
“What’s that ” said Tonya.“There is something in the net.It’s alive.”
Very slowly they moved nearer.
“I can see it now,” said Tonya.“It’s a killer whale—it’s hurt.There’s blood in the water.How can we help it ”
“I can see it too.It’s a baby but we must be careful,” said Max.
Jack jumped into the water.“I can get the net off its fin,” he said.
Jack got the net off the baby killer whale.There was a big cut on its fin.It swam away.Suddenly there were other killer whales near the boat.
“Jack!” Tonya shouted.“Get in quickly.” Jack swam to the boat as fast as a fish.“That baby killer whale...I am going to call it Lucky,” he said.
As they moved away,it began to rain harder and harder.
Jack said,“We must get away from the wind.I can see a town over there.Let’s go.”
The town got nearer but the waves got bigger.Suddenly a very big wave hit the boat.
“Is everyone OK ” shouted Jack.
“Tonya ...She’s not in the boat,” said Sasha.“She’s in the water.”
They looked into the cold,dark water for hours.“Tonya!Say something,Tonya.Where are you ” shouted Max.
The wind got stronger and the boat was full of water.Another big wave hit the boat.
“Jack,do you want us all to die ” said Max.“We can’t do any more.Tonya is wearing a lifejacket and she can swim very well.Let’s sail to the town.”
Moments later the boat hit a beach.They went out.Max and Sasha slept on the beach.Jack sat near the water,looking at the sea and thinking about Tonya.
At that time,Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea.
Jack was walking along the beach and suddenly he

At that time,Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea.A big wave came and crashed onto her,making her sink into the water.She struggled to come up from under the water,only to find her lifejacket gone.“Help!Anyone help!” She shouted at the top of her voice but heard nothing in response except the roaring waves.All of a sudden,she caught sight of a giant dark fish-like creature moving swiftly towards her.“ A shark!” Tonya froze.“I will be killed!” The next moment,another big wave hit her heavily.
Jack was walking along the beach and suddenly he spotted something like a tiny boat moving towards the beach.“Maybe someone has picked up Tonya!” He was expecting something nice to happen.“Oh,no,it wasn’t a boat.It was Lucky—the injured killer whale they had rescued!” “Why is it here ” Before Jack figured out what was happening,another killer whale came out of nowhere,holding up a person high in the air!“It’s Tonya!”

Even now,almost a year after their astonishing act of group heroism,the dozens of people who risked their lives to save two boys from drowning in Panama City Beach,are still remembered.
The story began on July 8,2017.Members of the Ursrey family,eight in total,were enjoying an evening together at the beach.As the sun sank lower on the horizon,the two boys—Noah,11,and Stephen,8—took their skateboards and walked into the waves without the grown-ups noticing.When the boys were about 70 yards from shore,they realised that the ocean pulled them out to sea.After trying and failing to paddle back,they started waving and screaming for help.But the lifeguards had clocked out for the evening.
The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Brittany and Tabatha Monroe,a married couple from Georgia,wandered by.They didn’t see the boys at first,but they heard them.
They jumped into the water and easily reached the brothers,who were still in fairly shallow water.The woman reassured the frightened boys and seized their skateboards,telling them they would be safe and then discovered that they,too,were now in a world of trouble.They couldn’t get back to shore and could barely and only occasionally hit the sandy bottom with their feet.After a few minutes,it was clear to the woman that they were all trapped in a terrible whirlpool.
Then scores of tourists were walking to them,hand in hand,forming a line.Soon the first person held the woman’s hand.In turn,her husband and the two boys joined her.The long line moved slowly until they were back to the safety of the beach.
The rescuers call it the Human Chain.But it was the deeply “human” aspect of the rescuers’ cooperation that made it so astonishing and successful.
24.What happened to the two boys
A.They got into deep sea by chance.
B.They couldn’t be seen in the sea.
C.They went out without supper.
D.They met with danger in the sea.
25.What does the underlined word “reassured” in paragraph 4 mean

C.Congratulated. D.Accompanied.
26.Which of the following best describes the water the young couple stayed in

B.It was very deep.
C.It was mixed with sand.
D.It moved fast.
27.What made the four persons in the sea escape the risky situation
A.Team spirit. B.Confidence.
C.Good luck. D.Bravery.

The researchers say a person loses two months for every kilogram overweight they are—and seven years for smoking a packet of cigarettes a day.
Unusually,the Edinburgh university team found their answers by analysing differences in people’s genetic code or DNA.Finally they think it will show new ways of helping us to live longer.
The group used the genetic code of more than 600,000 people who are taking part in a natural experiment.If someone smokes,drinks,drops out of school and is overweight,it can be difficult to identify the impact of one specific unhealthy behaviour.
Instead,the researchers turned to the natural experiment.Some people carry mutations(变异) in their DNA that increase or make them more likely to put on weight,so researchers were able to compare those programmed to eat more with those who were not.The research team also found specific mutations in human DNA that alter lifespan.
●Mutations in a gene(a set of instructions in DNA) that is involved in running the immune system could add seven months of life on average.
●People with a mutation that increased levels of bad cholesterol(胆固醇) knocked eight months off lifespan.
●A rare mutation in a gene—APOE—linked to dementia(痴呆) reduced lifespan by 11 months.
●And one that made smoking more appealing cut lives by five months.
Dr Joshi says that while genes do influence lifespan,“you’ve got even more influence” through the choices you make.Dr Joshi said,“We hope to discover genes affecting lifespan to give us new information about ageing and construct treatment for ageing.”
There are also some disease mutations that clearly affect lifespan and to destructive effect,such as the Huntington’s gene.People with Huntington’s often die in their 20s.
However,in order to follow people until the end of their lives,many of the people studied were born before 1940.
28.What is the most difficult for the researchers to find
A.The differences in people’s genetic code.
B.The reasons why people put on weight very easily.
C.The results of many natural and massive experiments.
D.One bad behaviour’s effect on people with many bad behaviours.
29.Which of the following mutations affects lifespan most greatly
A.One linked to controlling immune system.
B.One increasing unhealthy cholesterol.
C.One called APOE involved in dementia.
D.One making smoking more attractive.
30.What’s the meaning of Dr Joshi’s study
A.To help stop mutations.
B.To find diseases earlier.
C.To make people live longer.
D.To reduce the effects of genes.
31.Why did researchers mainly study people born before 1940
A.To follow them until they die.
B.To educate them an extra year.
C.To show they are more important.
D.To make them live happier.
D
Many people spend more than four hours per day on WeChat,and it is redefining the word “friend”.Does friending someone on social media make him or her your friend in real life
Robin Dunbar,a professor at Oxford University,found that only 15,of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has,could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends.WeChat may show a similar pattern.
Those with whom you attended a course together,applied for the same part-time job,went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat friends.In chat records,the only message may be a system notice,“You have accepted somebody’s friend request.”Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on “Moments”,you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends.Also,you may be disturbed by mass messages(群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”,including requests for voting for their children or friends,links from other websites and cookie-cutter(千篇一律的) blessings in holidays.
You would have thought about deleting this type of “friends” and sort out your connections.But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success.Besides,it would be really awkward if they found that you have unfriended them already.Then,you keep increasing your “friends” in social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested.But the fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing number of your friends in social media.
If the number of your friends reaches 150,keeping these relationships can be tough to you,and sometimes even will make you anxious.According to Robin Dunbar,150 is the limit of the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.
32.What can we learn from Robin Dunbar’s finding in paragraph 2
A.A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.
B.Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.
C.Among our social media friends,only a few people matter.
D.Only 15 people of a person’s Facebook friends can be close friends.
33.What does the third paragraph tell us about most of your WeChat friends
A.You have deep communication with them.
B.You benefit a lot from their mass messages.
C.You just have a nodding acquaintance with them.
D.You become friends with them in important occasions.
34.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Removing unfamiliar friends in WeChat.
B.Strengthening ties with your WeChat friends.
C.Keeping increasing your friends in social media.
D.Clicking “like” on pictures posted by your friends.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.We will be anxious if we make friends online.
B.We should avoid making any friends in social media.
C.We should make as many friends as possible in social media.
D.We have difficulty managing relationships with over 150 people.

Every minute,every single day,about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans. 36 And to date,only 9% of that has been recycled.
We buy a bottle of water,drink it for a few minutes,and toss its permanent packaging “away”.We eat potato chips,finish them,then throw their permanent packaging “away”.We buy produce,take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap,and then throw its permanent packaging “away”.
The cycle is endless,and it happens countless times every single day. 37 As far as we try to toss a piece of plastic—whether it’s into a recycling bin or not—it does not disappear.Chances are,it ends up polluting our communities,oceans or waterways in some form.
For years,we’ve been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through better individual action. 38 But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.
Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans;we have to get to the source of the problem and slow down the production of all this plastic waste.Think about it:if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on,your first step wouldn’t be to start mopping.You’d first cut the flooding off at its source—the tap. 39
We need corporations—those like Coca-Cola,Unilever,Starbucks and Neatlé that continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles—to step up and take their responsibility for the mess they’ve created. 40 We will continue to do our part,but it’s time for the world’s largest corporations to do theirs.
A.This is their problem to deal with.
B.Plastic pollution is becoming very serious.
C.But here is the problem—there is no “away”.
D.In many ways,our plastic problem is no different.
E.We think that if we simply recycle we’re doing our part.
F.It’s impossible for us to get rid of plastic pollution completely.
G.Since the 1950s,some 8.3bn tons of plastic have been produced worldwide.

You may be surprised to see “making sure children never suffer” as a mistake.The following story may help you understand how rescuing children from all suffering 41 weakness.
A little boy felt sorry for a butterfly 42 to emerge from its chrysalis(蛹).He decided to help the butterfly.So he peeled the chrysalis open for the butterfly.The little boy was so 43 to watch the butterfly spread its wings and fly off into the sky.Then he was horrified as he watched the butterfly fall to the ground and die because it did not have the muscle and 44 to keep flying.In fact,the butterfly’s struggle to 45 the chrysalis helps the butterfly become stronger.
Like the little boy,parents too often want to protect their children from struggle in the 46 of love.They don’t realise that their children need to struggle,to experience 47 ,to deal with disappointment,and to solve their own problems.Only in this way 48 children strengthen their emotional strength,become 49 and develop the skills necessary for the even bigger struggles they will meet throughout their lives.Children experiencing sufferings can 50 the ups and downs of life.
However,it isn’t helpful either in this case when parents 51 lectures(训斥),blame and shame to what the child is experiencing.Mothers 52 to say,“Stop crying and acting like a spoiled boy.You can’t always get what you want.” These 53 words should be avoided.Instead,parents can offer their loving support.You can say,“Don’t lose heart.Be brave!You will succeed if you try again.” Then comes the tough part—no 54 and no lectures.Simply allow him to discover that he can 55 his disappointment and figure out what he can do to get what he wants in the future.

Jack and his wife Tonya were sailing around Africa with their friends Max and Sasha.One day they saw a big fishing boat.It was moving fast.
“Hello!” they shouted.The men on the boat looked at them angrily.Max looked carefully at the boat.
“Something’s wrong with their fishing net,” he said.They got nearer to the net.
“What’s that ” said Tonya.“There is something in the net.It’s alive.”
Very slowly they moved nearer.
“I can see it now,” said Tonya.“It’s a killer whale—it’s hurt.There’s blood in the water.How can we help it ”
“I can see it too.It’s a baby but we must be careful,” said Max.

The wind got stronger and the boat was full of water.Another big wave hit the boat.
“Jack,do you want us all to die ” said Max.“We can’t do any more.Tonya is wearing a lifejacket and she can swim very well.Let’s sail to the town.”
Moments later the boat hit a beach.They went out.Max and Sasha slept on the beach.Jack sat near the water,looking at the sea and thinking about Tonya.
At that time,Tonya was five hundred metres away out in the sea.
Jack was walking along the beach and suddenly he
