It has been nearly 11 days since the earthquake and its aftershocks struck the Turkey-Syria border, and rescues are still underway. As teams of doctors, firefighters, police officers, construction workers tried to search through the rubble (瓦砾) of fallen buildings, they were uncovering surviving people as well as animals. Ali Cakas saved a scared cat from the rubble, and the kitty has been glued to his side ever since.
A video shows the man, still in uniform and protective equipment, taking a picture with the cat on his shoulder. The black-spotted cat clearly has an appreciation for his hero, as he does not move from the firefighter’s side even for a moment. “We named it Enkaz which means rubble in Turkish, because we brought it out of the ruins,” the firefighter says. “It might sound a little off-putting, but we wanted it to be a memory this way.”
As heart-warming as this rescue has been, people online have also found a way to sympathize (同情) with the cat while showing respect for Cakas. “Uh...not for nothing but I would also not leave this guys side,” said Twitter user Paula Matiz. Another person admitted, “I don’t know who is cuter...the man or the kitty.” They all agree that Cakas has done something truly wonderful, saving the life of a sweet cat.
So far, no one has come forward to claim Enkaz, but the firefighter is keeping him safe, in the meantime, providing food and shelter. “I see sadness in this cat,” the firefighter said after rescuing him. “I keep it by my side in case the owner comes, but if the owner doesn’t come out, I’m thinking of taking him with me. It will be a memory.” Fortunately, Enkaz has found a safe shelter after everything he has been through, so we hope this is the start of a beautiful relationship between the cat and his rescuer.
4. What is Ali Cakas
A. A doctor. B. A policeman.
C. A firefighter. D. A construction worker.
5. Why did Cakas name the cat Enkaz
A To memorize the event. B. To support the residents.
C. To celebrate the rescue activity. D. To entertain the firefighters.
6. How do people online react to Ali Cakas’ act
A. They sympathize with him. B. They criticize him.
C. They admire him. D. They ignore him.
7. What does the firefighter plan to do about the cat
A. Keep it with him. B. Give it to a shelter.
C. Send it back into the wild. D. Sell it to a pet store.
C
Music festivals are highly popular events during the summer months, attracting thousands of festival-goers who camp on-site. However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled.
While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are abandoned (拋弃) at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking.
Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at this year’s Leeds Festival were abandoned, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that Reading and Leicester festivals are usually just as bad but twice as big, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been abandoned there.
In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (保证金计划). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees pay a 10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” he adds.
The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope for what could be, the ultimate (最后的) message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.
8. Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey
A. Most of the tents are of poor quality.
B. Some people are too lazy to take the tents home.
C. Poor weather makes it difficult to recycle the tents.
D. Many people mistakenly think they will be donated.
9. What can we learn from the numbers listed in Paragraph 3
A. There is an increasing demand for tents.
B. A large percentage of tents are abandoned.
C. Tents take a fair amount of energy to make.
D. Festival tickets are more expensive than tents.
10. What does Paragraph 4 focus on
A. How charities do with the tents.
B. How landfills improve work efficiency.
C Methods to employ more festival volunteers.
D. Attempts to reduce litter and abandoned tents after festivals.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To stress the importance of music festivals.
B. To introduce popular music festivals in the world.
C. To make people pay attention to the quality of tents.
D. To call on people to protect the environment during festivals.
D
While vertical (垂直的) farming of plants in limited space has been around for some time, new research looking into the “vertical farming of seafood” is being developed by Broderick House.
As part of his PhD project at the University of Cambridge, Broderick is looking at farming bivalves (双壳贝) within city boundaries. “In terms of sustainable (可持续的) food options, and from a food security standpoint, being able to expand bivalve farming from the coast into cities means you have a safe environment to produce a highly nutritious and micronutrient rich source of food,” says Broderick.
The biggest challenge, of course, is water consumption. The artificial aquaculture (水产业) environment cannot fully compare to farming in the ocean, but by using advanced flowing aquaculture systems, water use can be reduced, as only 10% of the water in the tank must be changed every day. “If you’re comparing it to traditional agricultural livestock — cows, pigs, chickens, which are farmed in fields, it uses much less water, and provides competing levels of protein,” Broderick explains.
While sustainability can, upon first look, be accomplished by building facilities to farm bivalves inland, there is also a possibility to repurpose existing buildings which would help to decrease carbon emissions from transportation as well. Broderick points out the biggest carbon footprint in aquaculture is the feed for the livestock, and he is working together with the Algal Innovation Centre at University of Cambridge, to develop more sustainable feed options.
To help translate his research into the business world, Broderick has been supported by the EnterpriseTECH and EnterpriseTECH STAR programmes at the CJBS Entrepreneurship Centre. “CJBS has been a fantastic resource and community. The business ecosystem here has provided important tools in a constructive and informed way to help ensure my PhD research has a positive role in shaping the future of global food security,” Broderick says.
12. According to the text, what is one of the biggest challenges related to urban aquaculture
A. Lack of suitable buildings. B. High water consumption.
C. Overpopulation in cities. D. Heavy reliance on traditions.
13. What does the underlined word “accomplished” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Realized. B. Opposed. C. Declined. D. Revised.
14. What advantage is associated with repurposing existing buildings for bivalve farming
A. Reduction in carbon emissions. B. Greater dependence on transportation.
C. Increased heavy metal purification. D. Decreased reliance on flowing systems.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. This study lacks financial support. B. The outlook of the research looks promising.
C. The research is still up against many barriers. D. The research has guaranteed the food security globally.

Maggie had always been keen on singing, but she never believed in herself enough to enter a competition. That all changed when her friend, who had heard her sing and believed she had a talent, advised her to try out for the campus singing competition. Maggie was hesitant at first, but she decided to give it a shot.
The competition was only a few weeks away, and Maggie spent every spare moment practicing. She sang in the shower, in her car, and even in the library when she thought no one was listening. Her roommate, who was also her biggest cheerleader, helped her pick out the perfect outfit for the competition.
As the competition day approached, Maggie’s nerves started to get the best of her. She had never performed in front of such a large audience before, and the thought of being judged made her nervous. However, Maggie knew that she had to push herself out of her comfort zone if she wanted to pursue her passion. She reminded herself that she was doing this to prove to herself that she could do it and that she was good enough.
On the day of the competition, Maggie woke up with a sense of determination. She spent the morning rehearsing (排练) and getting into the right mindset. She arrived at the venue (会场) early and was surprised to see so many people had shown up to watch the competition.
As she waited for her turn to perform, Maggie observed the other contestants (参赛选手). She was amazed at the level of talent on display and wondered if she had what it took to win. However, she didn’t let her doubts get the better of her. She focused on her own performance and was determined to give it her all.

B

As heart-warming as this rescue has been, people online have also found a way to sympathize (同情) with the cat while showing respect for Cakas. “Uh...not for nothing but I would also not leave this guys side,” said Twitter user Paula Matiz. Another person admitted, “I don’t know who is cuter...the man or the kitty.” They all agree that Cakas has done something truly wonderful, saving the life of a sweet cat.
So far, no one has come forward to claim Enkaz, but the firefighter is keeping him safe, in the meantime, providing food and shelter. “I see sadness in this cat,” the firefighter said after rescuing him. “I keep it by my side in case the owner comes, but if the owner doesn’t come out, I’m thinking of taking him with me. It will be a memory.” Fortunately, Enkaz has found a safe shelter after everything he has been through, so we hope this is the start of a beautiful relationship between the cat and his rescuer.

Music festivals are highly popular events during the summer months, attracting thousands of festival-goers who camp on-site. However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled.
While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are abandoned (拋弃) at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking.
Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at this year’s Leeds Festival were abandoned, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that Reading and Leicester festivals are usually just as bad but twice as big, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been abandoned there.
In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (保证金计划). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees pay a 10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” he adds.
The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope for what could be, the ultimate (最后的) message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.
8. Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey
A. Most of the tents are of poor quality.
B. Some people are too lazy to take the tents home.
C. Poor weather makes it difficult to recycle the tents.
D. Many people mistakenly think they will be donated.
9. What can we learn from the numbers listed in Paragraph 3
A. There is an increasing demand for tents.
B. A large percentage of tents are abandoned.
C. Tents take a fair amount of energy to make.
D. Festival tickets are more expensive than tents.
10. What does Paragraph 4 focus on
A. How charities do with the tents.
B. How landfills improve work efficiency.
C. Methods to employ more festival volunteers.
D. Attempts to reduce litter and abandoned tents after festivals.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To stress the importance of music festivals.
B. To introduce popular music festivals in the world.
C. To make people pay attention to the quality of tents.
D. To call on people to protect the environment during festivals.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking. (根据最近的一项调查，许多参加节日的人遗弃帐篷是因为他们相信帐篷会捐给慈善机构。但不幸的是，这只是一厢情愿。)”可知，许多参加节日的人遗弃帐篷是因为他们相信帐篷会捐给慈善机构。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at this year’s Leeds Festival were abandoned, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that Reading and Leicester festivals are usually just as bad but twice as big, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been abandoned there. (节日废物回收与分配主管Matt Wedge表示，留下的帐篷数量正在增加，据估计，今年利兹节上约20%的帐篷被遗弃，总计约7000顶。他补充说，雷丁和莱斯特的节日通常同样糟糕，但规模是前者的两倍，这意味着14000顶帐篷可能被遗弃在那里。)”可知，这些数字体现出大量的帐篷被遗弃。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (保证金计划). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees pay a 10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” he adds. (就解决这个问题而言，一个流行的想法是采用帐篷存款计划。根据这项计划，参加节日的人将支付押金，将他们的帐篷带到节日，如果他们把帐篷带回家，这笔押金将退还给他们。他补充道：“垃圾也发生了类似的事情。一些节日要求与会者支付10英镑的‘生态保证金’，如果他们装满一袋垃圾并在节日结束时交上来，这笔保证金就会退还给他们。”)”可知，这一段主要讲述为减少节日后的垃圾和废弃帐篷所做出的努力。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope for what could be, the ultimate (最后的) message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do. (废弃帐篷的令人震惊的画面不仅仅是对节日本身对环境影响的评论。事实上，它们是我们一次性文化的戏剧性象征。正如格拉斯顿伯里干净的田野的图像代表着对未来的希望的一个令人耳目一新的迹象一样，最终的信息是至少要养成带帐篷回家的习惯。这是人们能做的最好的事情。)”可知，这篇文章的写作目的是为了呼吁人们在节日期间保护环境。故选D。

While vertical (垂直的) farming of plants in limited space has been around for some time, new research looking into the “vertical farming of seafood” is being developed by Broderick House.
As part of his PhD project at the University of Cambridge, Broderick is looking at farming bivalves (双壳贝) within city boundaries. “In terms of sustainable (可持续的) food options, and from a food security standpoint, being able to expand bivalve farming from the coast into cities means you have a safe environment to produce a highly nutritious and micronutrient rich source of food,” says Broderick.
The biggest challenge, of course, is water consumption. The artificial aquaculture (水产业) environment cannot fully compare to farming in the ocean, but by using advanced flowing aquaculture systems, water use can be reduced, as only 10% of the water in the tank must be changed every day. “If you’re comparing it to traditional agricultural livestock — cows, pigs, chickens, which are farmed in fields, it uses much less water, and provides competing levels of protein,” Broderick explains.
While sustainability can, upon first look, be accomplished by building facilities to farm bivalves inland, there is also a possibility to repurpose existing buildings which would help to decrease carbon emissions from transportation as well. Broderick points out the biggest carbon footprint in aquaculture is the feed for the livestock, and he is working together with the Algal Innovation Centre at University of Cambridge, to develop more sustainable feed options.
To help translate his research into the business world, Broderick has been supported by the EnterpriseTECH and EnterpriseTECH STAR programmes at the CJBS Entrepreneurship Centre. “CJBS has been a fantastic resource and community. The business ecosystem here has provided important tools in a constructive and informed way to help ensure my PhD research has a positive role in shaping the future of global food security,” Broderick says.
12. According to the text, what is one of the biggest challenges related to urban aquaculture
A. Lack of suitable buildings. B. High water consumption.
C. Overpopulation in cities. D. Heavy reliance on traditions.
13. What does the underlined word “accomplished” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Realized. B. Opposed. C. Declined. D. Revised.
14. What advantage is associated with repurposing existing buildings for bivalve farming
A. Reduction in carbon emissions. B. Greater dependence on transportation.
C. Increased heavy metal purification. D. Decreased reliance on flowing systems.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. This study lacks financial support. B. The outlook of the research looks promising.
C. The research is still up against many barriers. D. The research has guaranteed the food security globally.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了布罗德里克公司正在开展一项关于“垂直养殖海产品”新研究，并介绍了这一养殖方式的工作原理以及优势。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The biggest challenge, of course, is water consumption.(当然，最大的挑战是水的消耗)”可知，垂直养殖海产品最大挑战之一是高耗水量。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“by building facilities to farm bivalves inland”以及“there is also a possibility to repurpose existing buildings which would help to decrease carbon emissions from transportation as well(但也有可能改变现有建筑的用途，这也有助于减少运输产生的碳排放)”可知，后文提到了双壳类养殖存在改变现有建筑用途的可能性，从而减少运输产生的碳排放；由此可知，可持续发展可以通过在内陆建造养殖双壳类动物的设施来实现，故划线词意思是“实现”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“While sustainability can, upon first look, be accomplished by building facilities to farm bivalves inland, there is also a possibility to repurpose existing buildings which would help to decrease carbon emissions from transportation as well.(虽然乍一看，可持续发展可以通过在内陆建造养殖双壳类动物的设施来实现，但也有可能改变现有建筑的用途，这也有助于减少运输产生的碳排放)”可知，将现有建筑物改作双壳类养殖用途的好处是减少碳排放。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“CJBS has been a fantastic resource and community. The business ecosystem here has provided important tools in a constructive and informed way to help ensure my PhD research has a positive role in shaping the future of global food security(CJBS是一个非常棒的资源和社区。这里的商业生态系统以建设性和知情的方式提供了重要的工具，帮助确保我的博士研究在塑造全球粮食安全的未来方面发挥积极作用)”可推知，这项研究的前景看起来很有希望。故选B。

考查被动语态。句意：幸运的是，今年早些时候制定了全面的法源寺地区改造计划。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，根据时间状语earlier this year可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，又因主语为单数，故填was made。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：根据该计划，大部分历史建筑将被保留，但这项工作将平衡当地居民对提高生活水平的需求，同时努力保持原有建筑。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作定语，使用形容词，故填original。

【答案】Dear all,
In order to arouse more people to dispose of the waste in a proper way, we have decided to create a new festival -- Waste Classification Day.
Every day, we produce plenty of waste, ranging from plastic bottles to paper. Not only does it lead to environmental pollution, but it is also a waste of resources. Therefore, it is urgent for us to take an active part in the waste classification program. First, we can collect what can be recycled to save resources. Besides, harmful materials should be sorted and treated properly to avoid pollution. Most importantly, we need to develop the habit of classifying waste.
Let’s take immediate action.
Sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 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。
Maggie had always been keen on singing, but she never believed in herself enough to enter a competition. That all changed when her friend, who had heard her sing and believed she had a talent, advised her to try out for the campus singing competition. Maggie was hesitant at first, but she decided to give it a shot.
The competition was only a few weeks away, and Maggie spent every spare moment practicing. She sang in the shower, in her car, and even in the library when she thought no one was listening. Her roommate, who was also her biggest cheerleader, helped her pick out the perfect outfit for the competition.
As the competition day approached, Maggie’s nerves started to get the best of her. She had never performed in front of such a large audience before, and the thought of being judged made her nervous. However, Maggie knew that she had to push herself out of her comfort zone if she wanted to pursue her passion. She reminded herself that she was doing this to prove to herself that she could do it and that she was good enough.
On the day of the competition, Maggie woke up with a sense of determination. She spent the morning rehearsing (排练) and getting into the right mindset. She arrived at the venue (会场) early and was surprised to see so many people had shown up to watch the competition.
As she waited for her turn to perform, Maggie observed the other contestants (参赛选手). She was amazed at the level of talent on display and wondered if she had what it took to win. However, she didn’t let her doubts get the better of her. She focused on her own performance and was determined to give it her all.

【答案】When it was Maggie’s turn to perform, she took a deep breath before walking onto the stage. Her friend and her roommate shouted at the front row, “Come on, Maggie! You can do this!” Seeing their support, Maggie was so moved that she decided to try her best. When the music started, she sang her song. Her voice sounds like heaven, and everyone was lost in it. When she finished, the audience froze for a few seconds and then applauded warmly. However, she was not sure whether she can win since there’re so many talented candidates. When the judges discussed the performances, she got frightened and started to tremble. Every minute felt like suffering.
Finally, the judges announced the winner — Maggie won the first prize. Maggie couldn’t believe this at all. It was when the audience screamed that she was convinced that she really made it. Happy tears rolled down her face. She hugged her two kind girls and stepped onto the stage again to get the award. This unforgettable experience reminded Maggie that nothing is impossible if you trust yourself.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Maggie喜欢唱歌，也非常擅长唱歌，但她对自己参加比赛没有信心。朋友听了她的歌声后鼓励她参赛，她的室友也给予了她很多支持，于是她决定参赛。比赛前她有些紧张，但她调整了心态，把注意力集中在表演上。她的表演惊艳了众人，最终她赢得了比赛，这件事也让她认识到只要相信自己，一切皆有可能。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“轮到Maggie表演时，她深深地吸了一口气才走上舞台。”可知，第一段可以描写Maggie在舞台上的精彩表现以及众人的反应，但Maggie并不确定自己是否能够赢。
由续写第二段首句“最后，评委们宣布了获胜者——Maggie获得了一等奖。”可知，第二段可以描写Maggie知道自己获胜后的心情及感悟。
2. 段落续写：
走上舞台——朋友助威——精彩表现——观众如痴如醉——自己不确定能否获胜——评审宣布自己得第一名——难以置信——非常开心——感悟
