While diving in the Mediterranean with his daughters, Enzo was in the water preparing to dive. He felt a gentle push on his back and turned to see a male dolphin waving to him. The dolphin dived, and Enzo followed. About 12 meters down, Enzo was led to the dolphin’s mate, who had become trapped in a fishing net and would soon drown. Enzo quickly surfaced and returned with his daughters and a couple of diving knives. They freed the dolphin and helped her to the surface.
Although Enzo held several free-diving records-his deepest dive without the aid of breathing equipment was 101 meters, it was the lives of sea creatures that concerned him most. Enzo devoted his life to educating the world about the link between healthy seas and healthy humans. He often quoted Vangelis: “Until a man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth. ”
Enzo recalls of his dolphin rescue: “As soon as she (the female dolphin) was on the surface, after breathing out foam (泡沫)and blood, she gave birth to a dolphin calf (幼崽)under the watchful eyes of her mate. ” Enzo and his daughters felt greatly surprised at the miracle they had just witnessed. While they were still in the water, the male dolphin circled around and touched its beak(喙)to Enzo’s cheek, like a kiss of gratitude.
The world is full of opportunities that lead to miracles if we only follow those pushes. Next door is a neighbor who needs a smile and a conversation, a child who needs a little comfort, or a young mom who just witnessed her own miracle and would love to share it with you.
24．Why did the dolphin approach Enzo
A．To make friends with him. B．To ask for help.
C．To play with his daughters. D．To warn him of the danger.
25．How does Enzo make us know the importance of animals
A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples.
C．By making comparisons. D．By using a famous man’s words.
26．What amazed Enzo and his daughters
A．The birth of a baby dolphin. B．The gratitude from the dolphins.
C．The intelligence of the male dolphin. D．The friendliness of the female dolphin.
27．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．The Love Between Animals Is Admirable
B．A Kind Man Dived Deep to Rescue a Dolphin
C．Dolphins Are Very Friendly towards Humans
D．We Should Attach Importance to Dolphin’s Health
C
New words emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years more new words and phrases are entering the language than ever before, partly due to the increased willingness of lexicographers (词典编纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.
John Algeo who studies the history of language says, “As our culture changes, the language changes. American culture is going through a time of rapid change.”
Technology is moving fast, which has a big effect on language. The computer world produces hundreds of new words. New terms also come from business, medicine, and other fields.
Many new English words come from other languages. David Jost helps create the American Heritage Dictionary. “We constantly borrow words from other cultures,” he says. “This will go on forever in cultures.”
“People in many parts of the world speak English now. That is another reason why so many new words are entering the language,” says Algeo.
The American Dialect Society has a contest each year. The society selects a “new word of the year”, which gains high level of popularity on media for some days. Last year the winner was “information superhighway”, referring to a whole set of electronic network of information and people getting access to this network by computer.
New words often come in several forms, such as the back-formation (like enthuse from enthusiasm), the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden), and the compounding, etc. Over time, one form tends to win out. Take the compounding for instance. “Domestic partners” has been growing popular lately, even though many terms have been used to describe couples who live together but are not married.
“A new word rarely can be traced to one source,” says Algeo. “Several people fend to create a new word when a need for one exists.”
“Most new words have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive through the next 100 years.
28．What might have least effect on English language
A．Culture. B．Technology. C．Other languages. D．Language contests.
29．What does the writer want to demonstrate by mentioning “domestic partners”
A．It is a compounding word.
B．New words often come in several forms.
C．Over time, one form tends to win out.
D．A new word rarely can be traced to one source.
30．What can we learn from the passage
A．New words occur all of a sudden.
B．New words will become old or extinct.
C．Information technology helps the American Dialect Society.
D．American culture changes rapidly as well as English language.
31．What’s the best title of this passage
A．New Words Developing Naturally
B．English Language Changing Rapidly
C．English Vocabulary in a State of Development
D．New Words Influencing English Language
D
Scientists have made a “breakthrough” in handling nuclear fusion (聚变). The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research.
For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The experiment, conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, generated 3.15 megajoules of energy, more than the 2.05 megajoules put into creating it.
Nuclear fusion works by forcing together two atoms-most often hydrogen-to make a heavier one-like helium (氦). This explosive process releases massive amounts of energy, the Department of Energy explains. Fusion is the opposite of fission (裂变), the reaction that powers nuclear reactors used commercially today.
Fusion occurs naturally in the heart of the Sun and the stars, providing these cosmic (宇宙的) objects with fuel. Since the 1950s, scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in order to make use of the so-called clean, cheap, and almost limitless electricity. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram than the fission used to power nuclear plants, and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil or coal. What’s more, unlike fossil fuels, fusion doesn’t release carbon dioxide the greenhouse gas that’s the main driver of climate change-into the atmosphere. And unlike nuclear fission, fusion doesn’t create long-lived radioactive waste, according to the Department of Energy. But so far, nuclear fusion hasn’t solved our energy problems on a grand scale.
The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy, but applying the technology at commercial scale is likely still years away. Chanda Prescod Weinstein, a theoretical physicist, pointed out that the process the Department of Energy uses requires tritium (氚), a rare and radioactive isotope (同位素)of hydrogen. “It may yet convey important information that is ultimately transformative. We don’t know yet,” Prescod Weinstein tweeted. Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend.
32．What is the breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction
A．It releases massive amounts of energy. B．It produces 3. 15 megajoules of energy.
C．It works by forcing together two atoms. D．It generates more energy than that put into it.
33．Why have scientists been conducting nuclear fusion experiments
A．To avoid the commercial use of fission.
B．To recycle the byproduct of radioactive waste.
C．To reduce emission (排放) of greenhouse gas.
D．To aim for the high efficiency in producing energy.
34．What does paragraph 5 focus on
A．The attitude of investors.
B．The prospect of fusion energy.
C．The significance of the announcement.
D．The difficulty in producing fusion energy.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards fusion energy
A．Critical. B．Negative. C．Optimistic. D．Doubtful.
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。
For most people, one of the hardest things to deal with is when someone they love is in emotional pain and they simply don’t know how to help. Actually, it can be a challenge to figure out what to say to your loved ones as they struggle with an emotional blow. But don’t worry too much. 36 You can try the following tips.
Focus on the person’s feelings. Don’t mention the time that you went through a similar experience and pulled through it. It won’t help most people. Instead, let them know that you are sad that they are sad. 37 Even if your friend just lost their grandma and you lost your grandma several years ago, everything can be different.
38 Make a compassionate(有同情心的) statement and then just sit quietly. Let your loved one talk if they want to. Or you can just give them a hug and let them relax, knowing you are there for them. Instead of offering statements that you think are comforting, stay silent and let them start a conversation if they want one.
Don’t add your opinion. Part of learning how to comfort someone is not to give advice. Even if you think you have the perfect solution to the problem, don’t offer it. Every single person is different. Your loved one has different weaknesses and strengths than you or another friend that has gone through the same thing. 39
Provide practical help. If you are concerned about how to comfort someone, you can just find some daily stuff to help your loved one. 40 Don’t be afraid to consistently offer the same type of help, such as bringing dinner the same night of every week.
A．Don’t focus on you.
B．Just listen and don’t talk.
C．Remember that no two experiences are the same.
D．They want to talk about what’s happening in the present.
E．Therefore, don’t offer advice unless your loved one asks.
F．This is a great way to show your friend that they can count on you.
G．Simply listening and focusing on your loved one can make a big difference.

My first visit to China
I was really excited when I 61 (offer) the opportunity to go to Guangzhou in China for my work and I spent a lot of time visiting schools and observing lessons. The schools I visited were all 62 (good) equipped with computers, video screens and interactive whiteboards in most of the rooms. The buildings were 63 good condition and there were spaces for the children to play badminton or basketball.
I noticed some interesting differences in the school routine. When it was time for a class to begin or end, music was played on the intercom. I thought this was a really nice idea. There were also short breaks for eye exercises with music 64 (play) on the intercom. This was something I had never seen 65 heard of before so I was very interested in it. In some of the schools I visited, the habit of 66 (take) a nap at lunchtime is something I really like. The schools made us 67 (feel) very welcome and the children took great interest in us. They were very keen to practise their English and ask us questions. The pupils seemed to be very 68 (enthusiasm) about their English classes.
I really enjoyed my 10 days in China. It was a great experience and opened my eyes to a very different culture. In some ways it was better to be there on work than as a tourist. You learn something about people’s everyday 69 (life). If you go on work I think you learn more about the real culture of a place because you can see normal people doing normal things in normal places. 70 , next time I go to China I would like to spend some time as a tourist rather than working all the time.

Text1：
W: Your story is fantastic, Joe, but the spelling is bad. Worst of all, your handwriting is nothing if not awful. Please rewrite it. This time concentrate on your expressions, please.
M: Sorry, Miss Green. I will improve my work. Did I make any grammar mistakes
W: Only a few.
Text2：
M: Mary, could you turn down your radio Can’t you see that your mom is reading books And I can’t even hear the sound of the TV.

Text3：
W: Hey, Pete. Why did you come to the company so late today

Text4：
W: Ron, would you like to see a movie with me this Saturday
M: I’d like to, but you know, I’m worn out because of my new job. I feel like a good break this Saturday.
Text5：
M: I have 50 pages more to read tonight, but it’s already 11:00. I really need some coffee. It’ll take me at least two hours, and I need it done by 10:00 tomorrow morning.
W: Just wake up at 7:00. You’ll have plenty of time then.
Text6：
M: Mary, I have to find a place to live in. The house owner wants my room for her daughter who’s moving back to town.
W: Oh, bad luck! This will be your third time to move. I heard that Josh was looking for a roommate. You know Josh, don’t you

W: That could be a possibility, Sam.

W: My husband had been ill but fully recovered after we came here. He needed a rest cure after the operation, so we found a quiet place here.
M: Can you speak Welsh
W: No. When we first came here, I went to evening classes. But it sounded very difficult when I listened to the villagers talking in daily life. I couldn’t seem to learn it, so I gave it up.
M: Yeah, it is hard. Emma, I see you keep two cows..
W: Yes. They give me all the milk I need and I’ve recently started making cheese.
M: Oh, looking after the animals and your apple trees — all this must be a full-time job.

Text10：
M: When I turned seven years old, my sister and I didn’t have any pets. Our cat had died almost a year before. Ever since Tabby died, I have felt a little lonely. Cats make you feel less worried. They’ll sleep in your bed and make you warm at night. They’ll sit on your legs quietly and watch TV with you. I really missed my cat. Well, on my seventh birthday, my father came home by car like he always did. My sister Terri and I met him at the door as usual. When my father came inside the house, he put his black bag down and got on his knees in front of us. Instead of giving us a hug, he told me to take off his blue work jacket. I did, and I saw two little cats! One was white, and the other was brown. My sister started laughing happily. I didn’t know what to say and just stared at the beautiful little cats. My father gently put the white one into my arms and said, “Happy Birthday!”
