C. It offers accommodation to kids. D. It is equipped with a fun game room.
B
One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corer and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they really saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened，everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time ,the group of people sat down in a circle and started to talk about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said,“That was why!'
A clever French said,“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said,“I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.”Once again the others thought for a while，and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked,“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship "
Suddenly，the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is built on
no relationship.
24. Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because

C. the mouth of the hole was too small D. one was trying to help the blind one
25. Why did they lower their heads in shame

A. All the mice came out of the hole easily.
B. The officials wanted to kill the mice with smoke.
C. Each of the officials understood the relationship differently.
D. The officials knew one of the mice was blind at first sight.
27. What can we learn from the story
A. Love is selfless and unconditional. B. There is no smoke without fire.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Love me, love my dog.
C
On Tuesday the Indian Army found mysterious large footprints in the snow. The military group on an outing in Nepal, took pictures and later put them on Twitter. Their conclusion: the footprints belong to the Yeti, also known as the abominable snowman.
Most experts in the scientific community say the Yeti is a myth, an imaginary story. The man-
like creature is part of Nepali tradition and is said to live high in the Himalayan mountains.
In the tweet, the Indian army said it found the footprints close to a camp near Mount Makalu on April 9. The footprints measured 81 centimeters by 38 centimeters. The tweet did not explain how a mythical beast could leave footprints.
Reactions on social media
The Indian army's Twitter post has drawn criticism by some on social media. One user, for example, put an image of a big hole in Bombay and said that Yeti footprints could be found there.
Other users said that the supposed Yeti tracks appeared to be a single foot line. One user suggested the Yeti may have been riding a kind of strange bicycle.
Mount Makalu and the Yeti
Mount Makalu, where the Indian Army took the photographs, is one of the highest mountains in the world. It stands near the Makalu-Barun valley, an area very far from human population. The area has already been explored by researchers looking for the Yeti.
Daniel C. Taylor is one of them. He wrote a book on the mystery of the Yeti. Taylor pointed out that the footprints likely came from a bear. Taylor told the Reuters news agency that if the footprints came from“an animal or a single animal, it's the size of a dinosaur. ”Taylor added, One needs to really confirm those measurements of the footprint size because we know for sure that there are no dinosaurs living in the Barun valley.
Since the 1920s， tales of a wild beast have attracted climbers in Nepal and around the world. In 2008, Japanese climbers returning from a mountain in western Nepal told Reuters they had seen footprints ,which they thought belonged to the Yeti. Although they carried cameras , video equipment and telescopes,they had not seen or taken any photographs of the creature. In 2017, a group of international researchers studied many Yeti samples. The researchers concluded the samples belonged to bears.
28. What does the underlined phrase “part of Nepali tradition” refer to
A. The Nepali's belief in the existence of the Yeti.
B. The Nepali's celebration on the finding of the Yeti.
C. The Nepali's custom of telling imaginary stories.
D. The Nepali's choice of camping on high mountains.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Japanese climbers have taken some photos of the Yeti.
B. The Indian army provided Yeti samples to researchers.
C. Taylor wrote a book based on the Indian army's Twitter post.
D. Some social media users doubt whether the footprints are Yeti's.
30. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Indian Army Tweets About “Evidence”
B. Climbers Announce Finding of‘Yeti'
C. Researchers Measure‘Yeti’ Footprints
D. Social Media Joke About‘Yeti’ Tracks
31. How does the writer make the news report
A. By giving his own opinions. B. By showing different discoveries.
C. By providing latest numbers. D. By comparing different studies.
D
As one of the biggest topics of the last decade, sustainability has become the beacon(灯塔) of hope to protect the planet. From supermarkets taking action on plastic packaging to the zero waste movement that can be practised from your kitchen, changes made by individuals and organizations across the globe have had an impact on the way we think, shop and live.
So what does that mean for the world of technology You'd be forgiven for thinking that the words“sustainable" and“technology”don't usually go hand in hand. E-waste is, after all, one of the planet's biggest contributing waste streams. Not only that, but the materials that go into technology products are also part of the problem.
But with a challenge comes an opportunity， and there's already some brilliant progress happening一-great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our technology. Firstly,renewed products are having its moment. While consumers would previously turn their noses up at the idea of a second-hand device, there's been a huge surge in demand for renewed technology products.The second major step in tackling the problem of e-waste is a change in attitudes from owning a product to subscribing for one. A subscription for a smartphone might sound like a foreign concept, but it's already gaining momentum(势头). At the forefront of this movement is a London-based technology startup, which offers a subscription service for the latest smartphones. As customers aren't paying to own the phone at the end of their contract, the monthly price is significantly lower than average.
Studies show that extending a phone's lifespan from one to four years can decrease its environmental impact by about 40%. So the next time it comes to refreshing your device- -whether a smartphone，laptop, tablet or something else- consider the more environmentally friendly options that are at your fingertips.
32. What's the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To change the way we think, shop and live.
B. To introduce the topic of sustainability in technology.
C. To tell us what people have done to protect the planet.
D. To call on people to do something for the environment.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. High-tech products are in short supply.
B. E-waste contributes to the biggest waste streams.
C. The two sustainability problems in technology.
D. Ignoring sustainable technology is unforgivable.
34. What is present consumers' attitude towards a second-hand device
A. Supportive. B. Unacceptable. C. Sympathy. D. Doubtful.
35. How can we become sustainable in technology according to the text
A. By upgrading the old one.
B. By subscribing for a smartphone.
C. By spending less money on a smartphone.
D. By replacing the old one with the latest one.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Probably，most of you had the feeling before， at least once- -you had been waiting for a long time, yet being afraid of getting. It was exactly my state of mind before the first day at college. I had been working hard to pass the necessary tests and have my application to the undergraduate programme in management approved. And when the time had come for me to visit the college for the first day of the study, I couldn't sleep all night because of being anxious about how to look good physically in front of the whole new world I was about to enter. However, the positive attitude an readiness to accept support from others helped a lot in a new environment.
It was Monday morning. Being too excited to sleep the night before, I came to the college half an hour earlier for the first lecture and was walking nervously through the hallway. About 15 minutes after I came，the hallway started to be full of students. Professors who walked on their business probably didn't pay attention to me. I knew which hall to go to and had already checked that it was open. However, I was hesitant to enter the hall and sit there alone. People were moving around me as if they hadn't seen me. I felt disappointed with the fact that I had nobody to talk to in the new and seemingly unfriendly place.
Suddenly, a well-dressed man who seemed to be in his late twenties approached me. He introduced himself as Mathews and asked whether I was lost and whether he could help me with
anything. In that situation, I realized it was very kind of him and that he was exactly the person I
wanted to ask in my thoughts a minute before, but then I was too nervous for a friendly chat. As a result, instead of welcoming the opportunity to make the first acquaintance (相识), I told the man to mind his business and leave me alone since I was an adult capable of finding my class without anybody's assistance.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Luckily, the man didn't seem to be angry.
Professor Mathews turned out to be an excellent speaker and the lecture went really well.
