In 1916,two girls of wealthy families,best friends from Auburn,N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff
and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-
room schoolhouse.The girls had gone to Smith College.They wore expensive clothes.So for them
to move to Elkhead,Colo.to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a
surprise.Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted:The Unexpected Education of
Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy
Woodruff’s granddaughter.
Why did they go then Well,they wanted to do something useful.Soon,however,they realized
what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family,the Harrisons,and,like them,had little privacy, rare baths,
and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.Some mornings,Rosamond
and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring,
the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden’s book,she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which
of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the
building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding
snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the
people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse,
looking down from a hill top:“ When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all
5
{#{QQABBYCUogAIABIAABgCEQFgCgOQkAACAKgORAAIsAAByRNABAA=}#}
around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals:
foxes,coyotes,mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”
24.Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains
A.To teach in a school. B.To study American history.
C.To write a book. D.To do sightseeing.
25.What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3
A.They enjoyed much respect. B.They had a room with a bathtub.
C.They lived with the local kids. D.They suffered severe hardships.
26.Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hair-raising
A.The extreme climate of Auburn. B.The living conditions in Elkhead.
C.The railroad building in the Rockies. D.The natural beauty of the West.
27.What is the text
A.A news report. B.A book review. C.A children’s story. D.A diary entry.

Soot (煤) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica, a new study suggests,
raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from the increasing number of
humans who want to visit.
“It really makes us question, is our presence really needed ” says Alia Khan, one of the
authors of the new study. “We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is
enhancing snow and ice melt.”
Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels. Soot in Antarctica
comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships (游轮), vehicles and airplanes, although some
pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe. The dark particles (微粒) coat white
snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day. The blanket of
dark bits speeds up melting that was already happening more quickly because of global warming.
6
{#{QQABBYCUogAIABIAABgCEQFgCgOQkAACAKgORAAIsAAByRNABAA=}#}
When snow and ice are uncovered, they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can
turn into heat. “These are the mirrors on our planet,” says Sonia Nagorski, a scientist at the
University of Alaska Southeast. “When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits, they don’t
send back that much light and heat. That means more heat is trapped on Earth, speeding up
melting and contributing to global warming.”
As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year, Khan says she is troubled by her
own research results. On the one hand, she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how
quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing. “But then when we come to conclusions like this
it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,” she says,
“and what kind of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring
that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.
28. What is Khan’s attitude towards human actions in Antarctica according to paragraph 2
A. Angry and abusive. B. Cold and uninterested.
C. Doubtful and anxious. D. Admiring and delighted.
29. What is the main cause of soot pollution in Antarctica
A. The quick melting of ice and snow. B. The emission from various transport.
C. The remaining parts of burning plants. D. The floating gases from other continents.
30. What do we know from Nagorski
A. The covered ice is less reflective. B. The melting speed of ice is slower than before.
C. The dark blanket serves as a big mirror. D. The sunlight gets increasingly stronger recently.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. What made our planet so polluted B. Who is to blame for air pollution
C. Can electric vehicles save tourism D. Are we welcome to the South Pole
D
Eating a traditional Mediterranean-type diet-rich in foods such as seafood, fruit, and nuts- -
may help reduce the risk of dementia (痴呆) by almost a quarter, a new study has revealed.
Experts at Newcastle University found that individuals who ate a Mediterranean-like diet had
up to 23% lower risk for dementia than those who did not. This research, published today in the
journal BMC Medicine, is one of the biggest studies of its kind.
7
{#{QQABBYCUogAIABIAABgCEQFgCgOQkAACAKgORAAIsAAByRNABAA=}#}
Scientists analyzed data from 60,298 individuals from the UK Biobank, including individuals
from across the UK, who had completed a dietary assessment. The authors scored individuals
based on how closely their diet matched the key features of a Mediterranean one. The participants
were allowed for almost a decade, during which time there were 882 cases of dementia.
The authors considered each individual’s genetic risk for dementia by estimating what is
known as their polygenic (多基因的) risk-a measure of all the different genes that are related to
the risk of dementia. They found that there were similar associations between sticking to
Mediterranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for this
condition, which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk, having a better diet
could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition.
Dr Janice Ranson, joint lead author on the paper, said: “Dementia impacts the lives of
millions of individuals throughout the world, and there are currently limited options for treating
this condition. Our study shows a Mediterranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant-based
foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk. For example, the dementia
prevention efforts could go beyond general healthy diet advice and focus on choosing specific
foods and nutrients.”
The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self-reported their ethnic
background as white, British or Irish, as genetic data was only available based on European
countries, and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential
benefit.
32. What did scientists do during the study
A. They scored the Mediterranean diet.B. They tracked the participants’ health.
C. They collected data from 60298 families. D. They selected 882 potential dementia cases.
33. What can we infer about the Mediterranean diet from paragraph 4
A. Its effect is closely related to the polygenic risk.
B. It increases one’s chance of developing dementia.
C. It can reduce dementia risk regardless of one’s genetic risk.
D. It can provide protection against various genetic diseases.
34. What are Dr Janice Ranson’s words mainly about
A. Values of the study. B. Features of the study.
8
{#{QQABBYCUogAIABIAABgCEQFgCgOQkAACAKgORAAIsAAByRNABAA=}#}
C. Elements of a healthy diet. D. Ways to deal with dementia.
35. What will further research most probably focus on
A. Finding out more benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
B. Applying the findings to the treatment of dementia.
C. Involving participants of diverse races and nationalities.
D. Studying the rate of dementia within different age groups.

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.
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk
to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed
them home after school. This friend was different from any other friends they had brought home.
With a yellowish coat and tiny brown spots dropped across her nose, she was the cutest puppy I
had ever seen.
When my husband got home that evening, he recognized the breed——a beagle puppy（猎
兔犬）, not more than twelve weeks old, he guessed. She ran to him right away and after dinner
climbed into his lap to watch TV. By now the girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn't know what to do. I thought about
running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn't want to. It would break the kids' hearts if
someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely. I tried to
find seemingly logical reasons to explain my behavior.
By the end of the week, she was part of our family. We had named the puppy Molly. She was
very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time for the girls to
12
{#{QQABBYCUogAIABIAABgCEQFgCgOQkAACAKgORAAIsAAByRNABAA=}#}
take responsibility for another life, so they would learn the nurturing skills they'd need if they
decided to become mommies when they grew up.
The following week, something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper.
One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was
asking for the return of a lost beagle puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My
hand shook.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Instead, I pretended I hadn't seen the ad.

Paragraph 2: I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy
they were desperately seeking.
