When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge(污泥).First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage(污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
24.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs
A.He was fond of traveling. B.He enjoyed being alone.
C.He longed to be a doctor. D.He had an inquiring mind.
25.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks
A.To feed the animals. B.To build an ecosystem.
C.To protect the plants. D.To test the eco-machine.
26.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou
A.To review John’s research plans. B.To show an application of John’s idea.
C.To compare John’s different jobs. D.To erase doubts about John’s invention.
27.What is the basis for John’s work
A.Nature can repair itself. B.Organisms need water to survive.
C.Life on Earth is diverse. D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.

A new study shows that we spend more time using the mobile Internet to read newspapers and magazines or do some other things. According to the Interactive Advertising Bureau(IAB), the average European spends 4.8 hours reading newspapers and magazines but 1.6 hours more using the mobile Internet per week.
The IAB questioned 15000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people were using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have the Internet access on their mobile phones. In the UK,10 million people now access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6.3 hours doing so per week on average.
Unsurprisingly, young generations in the UK are leading the way, with nearly half the country’s16-to 24-year-old young people and a quarter of 25- to 34-year-old people using the Internet, spending 6.5 and 6.2 hours online each week respectively.
Entertainment plays a main role in our mobile Internet lives, with one in five British people using their phones for online games, a third listening to the online video and 39% watching movies, TV or other videos at least once a week. One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos, images or other multimedia information on their mobile phones and 61% said they passed on the contents they had received.
From a communicative point of view,80% of these questioned agreed that the Internet had made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family.
Alison Fennah, Executive Business Adviser at IAB Europe, said the use of the mobile Internet had come to the point that marketers should be looking to strategies(策略) that connect them with consumers more effectively. “Better devices, as well as improved consumer motivation that started coming together in 2011, can make a great difference to extending the online experience.” Fennah said.
28.How long does a European spend on the mobile Internet per week according to the IAB

Fishing cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish. They are like tigers and lions, only much smaller, around twice the size of an average pet cats. They live in wetlands of south Asia and mangrove forests(红树林) of south and southeast Asia. Like many other endangered species, fishing cats are in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago, mainly because of the great international need for food fish and people’s cutting of mangroves at an extremely fast speed.
Mangroves of southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species like fishing cats, turtles, shorebirds and others. Mangroves can protect soil and they can be the first line of protection between storms, tsunamis and millions of people who live next to them. The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more Carbon dioxide than other forests. So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five and ten times more of other forests.
Ten years ago, in south India, many people came together to change the future of their home. In less than ten years, with international support, the state forest departments and the local people work together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangroves. Now experts are working with them in helping study protect the mangroves as well as species living in them. Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with the experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes, turtles and other species in mangroves. The local farmers are encouraged to protect the plant mangroves where they have been lost. A win-win-win situation for fishing cats, local people and the global ecosystem is being built.
32.What made the fishing cats endangered
A.Natural enemies and environmental pollution. B.Cutting off mangroves and lack of water.
C.Less fish and overcutting of mangroves. D.Being too large and need for good fish.
33.What does the underlined word “home” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.the shelter. B.the jungle. C.the gathering. D.the habitat.
34.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Ways of turning farms into forests. B.Changes of South India in ten years.
C.Efforts to protect the mangroves. D.Work in protecting shrimps.
35.What’s the best title for text
A.Fishing Cats and Mangroves Protection B.The importance of mangroves
C.Approaches to Protecting Fishing Cats D.Man and Nature

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。
We see hundreds of logos on signs, vehicles, websites, and even on the clothes we are dressed in. All these logos are intended to attract our attention. 36 However, recent research supports the idea that remembering what a logo looks like is a very difficult task.
Researchers gave 85 students a simple assignment to draw the logo of a famous company from memory. Surprisingly, only one student could make it. 37 Researchers have developed a theory that they think might help explain this blind spot in our memories.
Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize with a quick glance. Yet the frequent exposure to these logos can actually make our brains overlook them. This process is known as attention saturation(注意力饱和) 38
39 we become familiar with them, This constant exposure leads to the situation where our brains remember the basic idea without all of the details. This general sense of memory has its own benefits. In fact, being familiar with a popular logo can even make people feel more comfortable about buying or using certain products.
Nowadays, logos are everywhere. A fancy design or a thoughtful(体贴的) colour combination may be a good start for a logo concept , but there are some other things to consider. 40 Maybe a clever design is well worth trying.
A.When we see some logos over and over again,
B.People will know the product behind the logo.
C.This may be inspiring to logo designers.
D.So why is it so difficult for people to recall the details
E.They also help us remember a product or service connected with them.
F.Our brains actually signal us to ignore information we don’t think we will need to remember.
G.Logo designers need to know that people will only remember what they believe is worthwhile.

That day, the weather was very hot, and I was very nervous, unable to keep still and think calmly. My friend John and I were discussing a problem. Everything was going well. However, in the middle of our discussion happened an unexpected incident — he made ink from his pen on my new notebook by accident. I was very angry and I said to him, “Why did you do that ” As I spoke, I deliberately spilled the ink from my pen onto his book. “You, you did it on purpose,” he said loudly. At that moment, he was very angry. His face was red with anger, his eyebrows were almost raised, his forehead was wrinkled(皱起) more and more tight, and his mouth was wide open. Suddenly, he pushed my things on the table to the floor. When I saw him do this, I was so annoyed with him that I pushed his to the floor, and angrily said to him, “We are no longer friends!” “Well, it’s you who break off the friendship!” The friend shouted like a lion. I immediately took my things and left.
From that day on, every time I met him, I would take another way to avoid him. Though he seemed to want to say something, I didn’t wait for him to say anything, and ran away like an arrow.
Since that incident, I had been reflecting(反思) on myself, feeling that I had done something wrong, but I didn’t have enough courage to apologize to him. I knew that he didn’t mean to make ink from his pen on the book that time, but I exactly did. I shouldn’t have made his book wet in ink by design. I hated myself all the time. I was angry with myself.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

第一节
The Anti-food Waste Campaign
Our school launched an anti-food waste campaign last week to help raise students’ awareness of reducing food waste and the consequences it brings. Lessons were designed and given to educate students to value food and reduce food waste. A follow-up speech con test was held to further promote the idea. All the students took an active part in the campaign and felt like making their contributions. At lunch time, everyone now takes just the proper amount of food and makes an effort to avoid leftovers.
第二节
Now involved, the man stopped reading and also stared at the window. Full of anticipation, he believed everything would turn out well. However, when he turned to the boy, he found the boy’s face had turned pale, and that he seemed to be sitting on pin s and needles. Trying to comfort the boy, the man said gently, “Don’t worry. Whatever happens, please remember that there is always light behind the clouds.” “I’m a father, too. Parents are always there and never let go of their children,” the man added. The boy nodded, eyes full of hope.
A few moments later, the conductor came along and called out, “Next stop—Smithville.” The boy was too nervous to move. The man, however, looked as hard as he could. And then he saw it! He shouted so loud that all the people in the train turned around. “Look! The tree is covered with yellow ribbons! Not just one, there’s a whole bunch!” The father had every reason not to put up a yellow ribbon and yet he did. Only a father whose love is real could blanket the tree with yellow ribbons, each one of them proclaiming reconciliation.

The building of China’s largest solar energy park has begun in Shigatse, Tibet. There is a solar power plant in the center of the park. Building the solar power plant in Shigatse has many advantages. With sunlight of 3,300 hours every year, the city is even called “the city of sunlight”. If everything goes well, the plant will be completed in 2025.Five percent of the money from the plant will be used to help the poor people in the local area.
The power plant alone won’t bring enough jobs, so they will also develop agriculture that is suitable to local conditions. Two agricultural companies have already started operations in the park.
Opposite the solar energy park, they are building a community. The community will hold 2,000families from poor areas. They have already finished 75 percent of the project. About 1,008 people from 234 families have already moved in, and most are satisfied with their living conditions.
