Pet adoption is the perfect way to add a new family member. But if a pet is too young to be adopted, it must be fostered (寄养) first. That’s how a puppy named Maggie that was rescued by the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), ended up being fostered by a sweet six-year-old boy.
The animal rescue organization in Port Washington needed to find a foster home for Maggie because she needed to be trained with basic obedience (顺从) skills and to become comfortable with a home environment. NSALA put out a call for a foster family.
Roman Duncan’s family was the lucky one chosen for the job. The boy fell in love with the puppy and was able to be part of her growth during those formative months. The family always made it clear to Roman that Maggie would eventually be adopted and move to a different home.
When it came time for Maggie to be adopted, Roman couldn’t hold his tears. He decided to write letters to the puppy’s future family. He wrote letters about his furry friend, saying “Maggie is so cute and loves to play fetch. She is the best dog ever,” and slipped the notes and some photos into Maggie’s paperwork.
The rescue team were surprised and then incredibly touched by the notes they found when opening Maggie’s file. NSALA made sure that Roman’s notes reached her adopted family. The boy’s gesture is exactly what pet fostering is about.
A dog or cat that has gone through terrible sufferings such as being abusing needs to learn what it means to live in a home. Fostering helps reduce the animal’s stress and makes it trust people again. It is also an opportunity for people who love pets but can’t have them full-time due to some restrictions. Pet fosters can get to enjoy helping a pet in need. If you are interested in pet fostering, contact a local shelter or animal rescue near you.
24．What happened to Maggie at first
A．She was released into the wild. B．She was settled in a new home.
C．She was saved by a rescue team. D．She was fostered by Roman’s family.
25．Why did Roman write notes about Maggie
A．To express his mixed feelings. B．To preserve Maggie’s paperwork.
C．To choose Maggie’s future family. D．To help Maggie adapt to new home.
26．What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph
A．The benefits of pet fostering. B．The access to fostering a pet.
C．A homeless animal’s barriers. D．The restrictions to adopting a pet.
27．What is the best title of the text
A．Maggie Lives Happily in a Comforting Foster Home
B．A Boy Writes Sweet Letter to Puppy’s Forever Family
C．Pet fostering Plays Great Roles in Rescuing Lost Animals
D．Roman Duncan’s Family Adopts a new Family Member

Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she said. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build self-esteem (自尊) that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them,”she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and markers — that resembled (像) her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities(畸形), — in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.
Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her cover costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits will never give up. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
28．What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls
A．The influence of dolls on her. B．Her working experience.
C．The changing medical situations. D．Her relation to the unlucky kids.
29．What does the underlined word ―that‖ refer to in paragraph 3
A．Children’s concern about their looks.
B．The problems faced by the child of a friend.
C．The challenging period the youth are going through.
D．The fact that words alone fail to help build self-esteem.
30．What can be inferred about Jandrisevits’ making dolls
A．It targets children with mental problems. B．It is time-consuming but meaningful.
C．It is thought poorly of by people. D．It brings in a good fortune.
31．Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits
A．Creative and caring. B．Ambitious and devoted.
C．Considerate and sensitive. D．Knowledgeable and generous.
D
Of the 7 billion people on Earth, roughly 6 billion own a cellphone, which is pretty shocking, given that only 4.5 billion have access to a working toilet.
So how are cellphones changing us On average, people spend 4.7 hours a day looking at their bined with the length of time spent in front of computers, this has led to an increase in the nearsightedness. In North America, in the 1970s about 1/4 of the population had nearsightedness, where today nearly half do; and in some parts of Asia, 80 — 90% of the population is now nearsighted.
And it can be hard to put your phone down, take for example the game Candy Crush. As you play the game, you achieve small goals causing your brain to be rewarded with little bursts of dopamine, and eventually, you are rewarded with new contents of the game. This novelty also gives little bursts of dopamine, and they together create what is known as a “compulsion loop”, which just happens to be the same loop responsible for the behavior associated with nicotine or cocaine. According to a recent study, 93% of young people aged 18—29 report using their smartphones to avoid boredom. Without their phones, they may suffer “nomophobia”—the fear or anxiety of being without their phones.
Your smartphone can also disrupt your sleep! The screen produces a blue light which has been shown to change our biological clock, reducing the time spent in deep sleep, which is linked to the development of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.
Of course, smartphones also completely change our ability to access information, most notably in poor and minority populations. 7% of Americans are entirely dependent on smartphones for their access to the Internet.
So while phones are in no way totally bad, and have been a part of positive change in the world, there’s no denying that they are changing us.
32．Why does the writer mention the near-sighted population in paragraph 2
A．To call on people to stop using cellphones.
B．To demonstrate the bad influence cellphones have on our eyes.
C．To show the eyesight differences between westerners and Asians.
D．To warn us that shortsightedness caused by computers is becoming worse.
33．How does a man with “nomophobia” probably feel if his phone isn’t accessible
A．Anxious. B．Energetic. C．Addicted. D．Excited.
34．How do cellphones influence our sleep according to the writer
A．They provide too much exciting information that makes us sleepless.
B．They produce a special light that can cause less deep sleeping time.
C．They can lead to serious diseases related to sleeping problems.
D．They have clocks that ring too loud for us to fall asleep.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．How Do Cellphones Change Us B．Put Down Your Cellphone Now!
C．Can We Live Without Cellphones D．Don’t Let Cellphones Ruin Your Eyes!
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
They say that children learn languages the best. ___36___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___37___.”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___38___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
___39___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. ___40___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.
A．Let technology help you out
B．and look up them in the dictionary
C．Do not worry about making mistakes
D．and then slowly start picking up grammar
E．Communicating in the new language is key
F．But that doesn’t mean that adults should give up
G．Stick every object in your house in this language

Pet adoption is the perfect way to add a new family member. But if a pet is too young to be adopted, it must be fostered (寄养) first. That’s how a puppy named Maggie that was rescued by the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), ended up being fostered by a sweet six-year-old boy.
The animal rescue organization in Port Washington needed to find a foster home for Maggie because she needed to be trained with basic obedience (顺从) skills and to become comfortable with a home environment. NSALA put out a call for a foster family.
Roman Duncan’s family was the lucky one chosen for the job. The boy fell in love with the puppy and was able to be part of her growth during those formative months. The family always made it clear to Roman that Maggie would eventually be adopted and move to a different home.
When it came time for Maggie to be adopted, Roman couldn’t hold his tears. He decided to write letters to the puppy’s future family. He wrote letters about his furry friend, saying “Maggie is so cute and loves to play fetch. She is the best dog ever,” and slipped the notes and some photos into Maggie’s paperwork.
The rescue team were surprised and then incredibly touched by the notes they found when opening Maggie’s file. NSALA made sure that Roman’s notes reached her adopted family. The boy’s gesture is exactly what pet fostering is about.
A dog or cat that has gone through terrible sufferings such as being abusing needs to learn what it means to live in a home. Fostering helps reduce the animal’s stress and makes it trust people again. It is also an opportunity for people who love pets but can’t have them full-time due to some restrictions. Pet fosters can get to enjoy helping a pet in need. If you are interested in pet fostering, contact a local shelter or animal rescue near you.
24．What happened to Maggie at first
A．She was released into the wild. B．She was settled in a new home.
C．She was saved by a rescue team. D．She was fostered by Roman’s family.
25．Why did Roman write notes about Maggie
A．To express his mixed feelings. B．To preserve Maggie’s paperwork.
C．To choose Maggie’s future family. D．To help Maggie adapt to new home.
26．What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph
A．The benefits of pet fostering. B．The access to fostering a pet.
C．A homeless animal’s barriers. D．The restrictions to adopting a pet.
27．What is the best title of the text
A．Maggie Lives Happily in a Comforting Foster Home
B．A Boy Writes Sweet Letter to Puppy’s Forever Family
C．Pet fostering Plays Great Roles in Rescuing Lost Animals
D．Roman Duncan’s Family Adopts a new Family Member

Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. “Dolls have a power we don’t completely understand,” she said. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. “It’s hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and to build self-esteem (自尊) that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them,”she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and markers — that resembled (像) her friend’s child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities(畸形), — in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.
Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her cover costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn’t charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she’s made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits will never give up. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
28．What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls
A．The influence of dolls on her. B．Her working experience.
C．The changing medical situations. D．Her relation to the unlucky kids.
29．What does the underlined word ―that‖ refer to in paragraph 3
A．Children’s concern about their looks.
B．The problems faced by the child of a friend.
C．The challenging period the youth are going through.
D．The fact that words alone fail to help build self-esteem.
30．What can be inferred about Jandrisevits’ making dolls
A．It targets children with mental problems. B．It is time-consuming but meaningful.
C．It is thought poorly of by people. D．It brings in a good fortune.
31．Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits
A．Creative and caring. B．Ambitious and devoted.
C．Considerate and sensitive. D．Knowledgeable and generous.
D
Of the 7 billion people on Earth, roughly 6 billion own a cellphone, which is pretty shocking, given that only 4.5 billion have access to a working toilet.
So how are cellphones changing us On average, people spend 4.7 hours a day looking at their bined with the length of time spent in front of computers, this has led to an increase in the nearsightedness. In North America, in the 1970s about 1/4 of the population had nearsightedness, where today nearly half do; and in some parts of Asia, 80 — 90% of the population is now nearsighted.
And it can be hard to put your phone down, take for example the game Candy Crush. As you play the game, you achieve small goals causing your brain to be rewarded with little bursts of dopamine, and eventually, you are rewarded with new contents of the game. This novelty also gives little bursts of dopamine, and they together create what is known as a “compulsion loop”, which just happens to be the same loop responsible for the behavior associated with nicotine or cocaine. According to a recent study, 93% of young people aged 18—29 report using their smartphones to avoid boredom. Without their phones, they may suffer “nomophobia”—the fear or anxiety of being without their phones.
Your smartphone can also disrupt your sleep! The screen produces a blue light which has been shown to change our biological clock, reducing the time spent in deep sleep, which is linked to the development of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.
Of course, smartphones also completely change our ability to access information, most notably in poor and minority populations. 7% of Americans are entirely dependent on smartphones for their access to the Internet.
So while phones are in no way totally bad, and have been a part of positive change in the world, there’s no denying that they are changing us.
32．Why does the writer mention the near-sighted population in paragraph 2
A．To call on people to stop using cellphones.
B．To demonstrate the bad influence cellphones have on our eyes.
C．To show the eyesight differences between westerners and Asians.
D．To warn us that shortsightedness caused by computers is becoming worse.
33．How does a man with “nomophobia” probably feel if his phone isn’t accessible
A．Anxious. B．Energetic. C．Addicted. D．Excited.
34．How do cellphones influence our sleep according to the writer
A．They provide too much exciting information that makes us sleepless.
B．They produce a special light that can cause less deep sleeping time.
C．They can lead to serious diseases related to sleeping problems.
D．They have clocks that ring too loud for us to fall asleep.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．How Do Cellphones Change Us B．Put Down Your Cellphone Now!
C．Can We Live Without Cellphones D．Don’t Let Cellphones Ruin Your Eyes!

They say that children learn languages the best. ___36___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___37___.”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___38___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
___39___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. ___40___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.
A．Let technology help you out
B．and look up them in the dictionary
C．Do not worry about making mistakes
D．and then slowly start picking up grammar
E．Communicating in the new language is key
