Dinh Thu, a Vietnamese (越南的) woman, was fascinated by the Chinese language and culture since childhood and she pursued Chinese as her major in university. After graduation, Dinh entered a Chinese waste incineration (焚化) power plant in Vienam as a translator.
At first, the tough working environment made Dinh unsure how long she could do the job. But the demanding environment was not her only challenge. Dinh soon found out that she had to be an expert in the field of garbage disposal (处理). “The biggest challenge was the translation of technical terms, many of which I couldn’t understand at the time,” Dinh said. “Luckily, whenever I ran into words or expressions that I wasn’t familiar with and couldn’t look up myself, I would ask my Chinese colleagues. They were always eager to help.”
Hu Changbing, the manager of the Vienam branch, has worked with Dinh for over four years. “I discovered that Dinh has this special ability — no matter how difficult a task, she could finish it effectively,” Hu said.
In Dinh’s words, her work belief was to complete whatever boss gave her and provide a satisfactory outcome. She didn’t mention the fact that, to complete certain tasks, she would make dozens of phone calls and sometimes even make multiple trips to talk to someone in person. Her efforts and contributions were appreciated by her superior.
The waste incineration power plant has significantly promoted the sustainable development. Dinh is very proud to have contributed to this project. “I hope to improve my information research and negotiation skills in the future and to further explore the Vietnamese market with my colleagues.”

A. She once worked in China. B. She was positive about her future.
C. She studied environment in university. D. She was interested in the Chinese language.
5. What was the hardest thing in Dinh’s work

A. To prove Dinh’s ability. B. To promote Dinh’s determination.
C. To show Hu’s kindness. D. To express Hu’s expectation.

Her efforts and contributions were appreciated by her superior. (用Dinh的话说，她的工作信念是完成老板交给她的任何事情，并提供一个满意的结果。她没有提到这样一个事实：为了完成某些任务，她会打几十个电话，有时甚至要跑好几趟，亲自和别人交谈。她的努力和贡献得到了上级的赞赏)”可推知，Dinh工作努力并且谦虚。故选C。

A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. Even the rise of skateboarding is the result of the deep relationships between humans and the climate.
“To make connections between climate and society, we often look into the past, but as we go further back, the evidence gets thinner,” said lead author Professor Büntgen. “We wanted to find a more modern example where we had lots of data to look at. That is how we began to study skateboarding.”
As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s. The government’s water agencies responded by mandating strict cuts, including a ban stopping people from filling backyard swimming pools. As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. Naturally, skateboarding exploded in popularity.
Büntgen said, “California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. You could have had the same drought, the same pools in somewhere like Phoenix, but since Phoenix doesn’t have a rich surf culture, professional skateboarding couldn’t have started there.”
With the rise of professional skateboarding came the industrial production of polyurethane (聚氨酯) wheels, which allowed skaters to make faster turns at higher speeds than they could with earlier steel wheels. All these factors made skateboarding more popular. Nowadays, it is a multibillion-dollar industry.
The example of California best shows that local climate change can have major effects on human society.
8. What is the finding of the new study
A. Climate changes affect human behavior.
B. Popular games benefit greatly from droughts.
C. The environment changes people’s relationships.
D. Culture contributes to the industry development.
9. What does the underlined word “mandating” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Carrying out. B. Counting on. C. Sticking with. D. Getting over.
10. According to Büntgen, what is a special factor promoting skateboarding in California
A. Drought. B. Location. C. Swimming pools. D. Surf culture.
11. From which section is this text most probably taken
A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Business.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述加利福尼亚州的例子：加州冲浪文化的兴起，表明局部气候变化会对人类社会产生重大影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior.(剑桥大学的一项新研究表明，微小的环境变化会对人类行为产生巨大影响。)”可知，新的研究表明天气变化影响人类的行为。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“including a ban stopping people from filling backyard swimming pools.( 包括禁止人们在后院游泳池里填水。)”结合上文“However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s.(然而，加州在20世纪70年代遭受了最严重的干旱。)”可知，加州遭遇最严重的旱灾，政府水务部门作出回应，实施削减开支，包括禁止人们在后院游泳池里填水。因此推断划线词与A项“实施”意思一致。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California.(加州曾经是美国冲浪文化的中心。冲浪文化的流行和影响对滑板运动的兴起非常重要，这就是为什么它只能在加州发生的原因。)”可知，加州的冲浪文化是加州推广滑板运动的一个特殊因素。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior.( 剑桥大学的一项新研究表明，微小的环境变化会对人类行为产生巨大影响。)”并纵观全文可知，本文通过加利福尼亚州冲浪文化的兴起，表明局部气候变化会对人类社会产生重大影响。因此推断文章选自社会板块。故选A。
D
Two days before I had a heart attack I’d been leading an expedition (探险). I was 37, and active. Even when I got to hospital, I hardly believed I was having a heart attack, but I was rushed into an operating room.
When I came out of hospital three days later, I could barely walk and was put into cardiac rehab (心脏康复) with a group of 85-year-olds. But I believed I needed something else to heal (治愈) me. As an outdoors guy who could make stone tools and live off the land, I knew that was where I needed to be. And so, after several treatments, I thought, “I’m out of here!” and went to live in a cave, near where I could hunt animals and drink from streams.
I spent about six months changing between a traditional life and living in the Colorado wilderness. I didn’t want to be away from my family for too long, so I would come back often to connect with them.
I was becoming part of the pattern of life that existed in the wild, understanding the sounds and the smells. You can choose to fight it, or to try to control it, but when you accept it, you reach a deeper understanding of who you are and what you’re doing out there. The day of my heart attack changed my life, because it was a reawakening. Knowing that eventually one day you will die, you need to live the life that you want, find the value.
For all the time I still spend in the wilderness, social media has actually become a big part of my life. Before my heart attack, I was never on it, but, afterwards, people encouraged me to start a YouTube channel sharing my skills. Now I’ve written books, done reality shows and consulted for movies. I’ve embraced this element of modern life, and hope to fuel people’s curiosity about the natural world.
Many of us accept life just the way it is, but there are some who want something different. Luckily, I am the latter one.
12. Why did the author go to live in a cave
A. To heal himself. B. To avoid the old people.
C. To lead an expedition. D. To practice survival skills.
13. What may the word “reawakening” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Living the life you want. B. Accepting life as it is.
C. Fighting for an easy life. D. Bringing life under control.
14. Why is the author on social media now
A. To report the process of his recovery. B. To share outdoor survival skills.
C. To kill time while in the wilderness. D. To fuel curiosity about modern life.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A cave that impressed me B. A strong desire for modern life
C. A moment that changed me D. A new understanding of the wild
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者喜欢生活在野外。在他37岁时，他突然心脏病发作，在医院作了支架。从那之后，他开始思考自己的生活，并做出了改变。他依然喜欢在野外过简单的生活，但是也愿意通过社交媒体进入到现代的生活当中。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“But I believed I needed something else to heal (治愈) me. As an outdoors guy who could make stone tools and live off the land, I knew that was where I needed to be. And so, after several treatments, I thought, “I’m out of here!” and went to live in a cave, near where I could hunt animals and drink from streams. (但我相信我需要别的东西来治愈我。作为一个可以制作石器，靠土地生活的户外工作者，我知道我需要去那里。所以，经过几次治疗后，我想，“我要离开这里了！”我住在一个山洞里，在那里我可以打猎，可以喝溪水)”可知，作者住在山洞里是为了治愈自己。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Knowing that eventually one day you will die, you need to live the life that you want, find the value.(知道终有一天你会死去，你需要过你想要的生活，找到它的价值)”和划线词所在句“The day of my heart attack changed my life, because it was a reawakening.(我心脏病发作的那一天改变了我的生活，因为那是一次reawakening)”可知，心脏病发作那一天让作者知道总有一天会死去，要过自己想要的生活，找到个人价值，因此推断那一天提醒作者过自己想过的生活。由此可知，划线词指的是“过你想要的生活”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“For all the time I still spend in the wilderness, social media has actually become a big part of my life. Before my heart attack, I was never on it, but, afterwards, people encouraged me to start a YouTube channel sharing my skills. Now I’ve written books, done reality shows and consulted for movies. I’ve embraced this element of modern life, and hope to fuel people’s curiosity about the natural world.(尽管我仍然在荒野中度过，但社交媒体实际上已经成为我生活的重要组成部分。在我心脏病发作之前，我从来没有上过它，但在那之后，人们鼓励我开一个YouTube频道来分享我的技能。现在我写过书，做过真人秀，还做过电影顾问。我已经接受了现代生活中的这一元素，并希望能激发人们对自然世界的好奇心)”可知，作者现在参与社交媒体是为了共享自己的户外生存技能。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文，根据第四段的“The day of my heart attack changed my life, because it was a reawakening. Knowing that eventually one day you will die, you need to live the life that you want, find the value.(我心脏病发作的那一天改变了我的生活，因为那是一次重新觉醒。知道终有一天你会死去，你需要过你想要的生活，找到它的价值)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者喜欢生活在野外。在他37岁时，他突然心脏病发作，在医院作了支架。从那之后，他开始思考自己的生活，并做出了改变。他依然喜欢在野外过简单的生活，但是也愿意通过社交媒体进入到现代的生活当中，共享自己的户外生存技能。由此可知，C项“改变我的那一刻”适合作本文标题，突出主题。故选C。

We are the products of our learning environments — you’re not born to be tidy or messy. ___16___ There are good reasons to try to become more organized, too, given that living with messiness can cause stress. Here are manageable ways to tidy up your act.
Think about why you want to be tidier
Maybe you want to be able to have friends over at a moment’s notice. Maybe you’re tired of feeling stressed and overwhelmed by mess in your living space or maybe you’re sick of spending time looking for things you should be able to get your hands on quickly. ___17___
Decrease the amount of stuff in your home
Most people have too much stuff to manage. You should cut down the amount of your stuff. ___18___ To make a decision, ask yourself: Is this item worth the space it’s taking up in my home Does it add value or mess to my daily life
Create a holding box
While it’s easy to part with things that are broken, outdated, or that you simply don’t use, items connected with your emotion are a tougher call. ___19___ Use the holding box to offer yourself some time to make the harder choices. Let the items sit there for 24 to 48 hours so you can process your feelings of ambivalence (矛盾) and decide whether you want to save them.
___20___
You may think that putting the mail in a designated basket or hanging up your purse can prevent messes from building up. Actually, what you really need is a mind-set shift, rather than letting your belongings land where they may.
With these efforts, you can maintain your newly tidier, better organized environment.
A. Change your habit
B. Adopt a new attitude
C. Tidiness is a skill that can be learned.
D. It’s a good idea to become better organized or tidier.
E. This is where a holding box or basket can come in handy.

【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何整理和减少杂物提出建议。
【16题详解】
上文“We are the products of our learning environments — you’re not born to be tidy or messy.(我们是学习环境的产物——你不是生来就整洁或凌乱的)”说明习惯不是与生俱来的，C项“Tidiness is a skill that can be learned.(整洁是一种可以学习的技能)”承接上文，说明“整洁”可以后天学习，句中“Tidiness”照应上文“you’re not born to be tidy”，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“Maybe you’re tired of feeling stressed and overwhelmed by mess in your living space or maybe you’re sick of spending time looking for things you should be able to get your hands on quickly.(也许你已经厌倦了生活空间的混乱和压力，或者你已经厌倦了花时间去寻找你应该能很快得到的东西)”假设自己已经厌倦了生活环境中的混乱和花时间去寻找东西，有了想要让环境变得整洁的想法，F项“Once you desire for tidiness, you’ll have the wish to make it happen.(一旦你渴望整洁，你就会有愿望去实现它)”承接上文，说明找到想要让环境变得整洁的原因，就会去实现它，照应主题句“Think about why you want to be tidier(想想你为什么想要更整洁)”。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“To make a decision, ask yourself:(为了做决定，要先问自己：)”可知，设空句中会提到一种需要做出决定的情形，G项“It’s important to decide what you want to keep and what you can give up.(决定什么是你想要保留的，什么是你可以放弃的，这很重要)”中描述了这种情形：决定保留什么和放弃什么，句中“It’s important to decide”照应下文中“To make a decision”，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Use the holding box to offer yourself some time to make the harder choices.(用缓冲箱给自己一些时间来做更困难的选择)”中特指名词“the holding box”可推知，设空句中会先提到the holding box，E项“This is where a holding box or basket can come in handy.(这时，缓冲箱或缓冲篮就会派上用场了)”中出现了“a holding box”，与下文构成指代关系，同时解决了上文“items connected with your emotion are a tougher call(与你的情感相关的东西是一个比较困难的选择)”中提出的问题。故选E项。
【20题详解】
设空处是本段小标题，根据下文“You may think that putting the mail in a designated basket or hanging up your purse can prevent messes from building up. Actually, what you really need is a mind-set shift, rather than letting your belongings land where they may.(你可能认为把邮件放在指定的篮子里或把钱包挂起来可以防止混乱。实际上，你真正需要的是一种思维方式的转变，而不是让你的物品随意放置)”可知，本段建议真正应该做的是转变思维方式，故B项“Adopt a new attitude(采取新的态度)”是最佳小标题。故选B项。

【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它讲述了一群空军飞行员的工作，他们的任务是测试中国最新一代的飞行技术。分析句子可知，空格处单词引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词pilots，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作job的定语，意思是“飞行员的工作”，应使用具有所属关系的关系代词whose引导该定语从句。故填whose。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他们必须首先通过一项困难的测试，看看他们是否有能力参与危险的研究。“(see) if they have what it takes to be involved in dangerous research”是“They must first go through a difficult test”的目的，用不定式作目的状语。故填to see。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦被选中，他们将测试新飞机的极限，面临许多意想不到的风险。分析句子可知，“(face) many unexpected risks”作伴随状语，face(面临)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语they之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动。故填facing。

【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：自2016年首次亮相以来，歼-20战斗机一直是超级明星。系动词be是主句谓语，结合时间状语从句“since it was first seen flying in 2016”可知，描述从过去持续到现在的状态，用现在完成时态，主语The J-20 fighter jet是单数名词，助动词用单数形式has。故填has been。
【46题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：电影《长空之王》为大家提供了一个360度的歼20视角。分析句子可知，provide(提供)是句中谓语动词，与主语The movie之间是主动关系，描述一般性事实用一般现在时态，又因主语是单数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的主动语态，单数形式。故填provides。
【47题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：电影从飞行员的视角出发，让观众从各个角度看到这一国宝。分析句子可知，give(给)是主句中谓语动词，与主语the audience之间是被动关系，结合从句时态和语境可知，描述一般性事实用一般现在时态，主语the audience是集体名词，强调整个，视为单数，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的被动语态，单数形式。故填is given。
48题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：虽然他们都很勇敢，但年轻一代对飞机技术有更好的理解。根据句意，“都很勇敢”与“年轻一代对飞机技术有更好的理解”之间有转折对比关系，用从属连词while或者although引导让步状语从句；句首单词首字母大写。故填While/Although。
【49题详解】
考查冠词。句意：虽然他们都很勇敢，但年轻一代对飞机技术有更好的理解。have a better understanding of...是固定短语，意为“对……有更深入的理解或认识”。故填a。

第二节 回答问题(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文并完整回答问题。注意：不能直接使用文中原句；每个回答不得超过10个单词。
After visiting family in Rutland, Tay, together with her three-year-old son and his “favourite companion”, a cuddly toy monkey, caught the train to go back to their home in Bristol.
As they switched trains at Birmingham New Street station, Tay realized that the monkey had been left behind. Her son, she said, was heartbroken.
“He just burst into tears,” Tay said. “He just kept asking ’Where’s my monkey ’ I told him ‘it’s just like playing hide and seek’ and reassured him that lots of kind people were looking for the monkey and the postman would send it back.”
Tay called Network Rail but it was too late, and the CrossCountry train had already left the station. Tay was not hopeful about a reunion but the monkey was a gift to her son on the day he was born, so she passed its sentimental (情感的) value to the train staff.
As she and her disappointed son made their way home, staff at various train companies worked together to track down the toy. They managed to locate the monkey. Tay was kept informed of the progress and told that, as it was by then too late that day, the monkey would be kept overnight in the Lost and Found at Birmingham. Determined to give the monkey a comfortable stay, staff at the station found it a hand-knitted sweater that had been previously used as a Christmas decoration. Next morning, the monkey, which usually slept with its owner every night, was on an early train from Birmingham to Bristol, where Tay was waiting.
“I collected it on my bicycle and brought it home. I just said to my son ’guess what I’ve got for you’ and pulled it out my bag. ” She added that the monkey’s new sweater had been a “lovely surprise” and the railway logo on there reminded them of the journey it made.
In total, four train companies helped the monkey home and it covered an extra 619 miles. Tay said, “The monkey’s been with my son ever since and we are keeping it close, so no more adventures for it in the future.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Tay与儿子在伯明翰新街站换车时，丢失了儿子心爱的玩具猴。在多家铁路公司工作人员的帮助下，玩具猴最终回来到她儿子身边。
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“As they switched trains at Birmingham New Street station, Tay realized that the monkey had been left behind. Her son, she said, was heartbroken.(当他们在伯明翰新街站换车时，Tay意识到那只猴子被落下了。她说，她的儿子心碎了)”可知，当发现玩具猴子不见了时,儿子的心都碎了,非常伤心。故答案为The son was heartbroken.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“I told him ’it’s just like playing hide and seek’ and reassured him that lots of kind people were looking for the monkey and the postman would send it back.”(我告诉他‘这就像捉迷藏一样’，并让他放心，有很多好心人在找这只猴子，邮递员会把它送回来的。”)”可知，妈妈安慰儿子说这只是一个游戏，邮递员会把玩具猴子送回来。故答案为The mother said the postman would send it back.
【54题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Tay was not hopeful about a reunion but the monkey was a gift to her son on the day he was born, so she passed its sentimental (情感的) value to the train staff.(Tay对团聚不抱希望，但这只玩具猴子是她儿子出生那天收到的礼物，所以她把它的情感价值告诉了火车工作人员)”可知，玩具猴是男孩出生那天收到的礼物，所以对男孩来说它很珍贵。故答案为Because it was a gift for his birth.
【55题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第六段中“She added that the monkey’s new sweater had been a “lovely surprise” and the railway logo on there reminded them of the journey it made.(她补充说，这只猴子的新毛衣是一个“可爱的惊喜”，毛衣上的铁路标志让他们想起了它的旅程)”可知，火车站工作人员赠送的新毛衣是一个“可爱的惊喜”，让这次团聚变得更快乐。故答案为The monkey’s new sweater.
【56题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第五段中“As she and her disappointed son made their way home, staff at various train companies worked together to track down the toy. They managed to locate the monkey. Tay was kept informed of the progress and told that, as it was by then too late that day, the monkey would be kept overnight in the Lost and Found at Birmingham. Determined to give the monkey a comfortable stay, staff at the station found it a hand-knitted sweater that had been previously used as a Christmas decoration. Next morning, the monkey, which usually slept with its owner every night, was on an early train from Birmingham to Bristol, where Tay was waiting.(在她和她失望的儿子回家的路上，各铁路公司的工作人员正在一起寻找这个玩具。他们设法找到了那只猴子。泰伊被告知进展情况，被得知，由于那天已经太晚了，这只猴子将被放在伯明翰的失物招领处过夜。为了给这只猴子一个舒适的住宿，车站的工作人员给它找到了一件手工编织的毛衣，这是以前用作圣诞节装饰的。)”可推知，铁路公司的工作人员理解猴子对Tay儿子的情感价值，尽力帮助寻找玩具猴，并为它在失物招领处过夜提供了温暖，展现了同情和关心。故答案为They are compassionate and caring.2023～2024学年度第一学期期末抽测

Dinh Thu, a Vietnamese (越南的) woman, was fascinated by the Chinese language and culture since childhood and she pursued Chinese as her major in university. After graduation, Dinh entered a Chinese waste incineration (焚化) power plant in Vienam as a translator.
At first, the tough working environment made Dinh unsure how long she could do the job. But the demanding environment was not her only challenge. Dinh soon found out that she had to be an expert in the field of garbage disposal (处理). “The biggest challenge was the translation of technical terms, many of which I couldn’t understand at the time,” Dinh said. “Luckily, whenever I ran into words or expressions that I wasn’t familiar with and couldn’t look up myself, I would ask my Chinese colleagues. They were always eager to help.”
Hu Changbing, the manager of the Vienam branch, has worked with Dinh for over four years. “I discovered that Dinh has this special ability — no matter how difficult a task, she could finish it effectively,” Hu said.
In Dinh’s words, her work belief was to complete whatever boss gave her and provide a satisfactory outcome. She didn’t mention the fact that, to complete certain tasks, she would make dozens of phone calls and sometimes even make multiple trips to talk to someone in person. Her efforts and contributions were appreciated by her superior.
The waste incineration power plant has significantly promoted the sustainable development. Dinh is very proud to have contributed to this project. “I hope to improve my information research and negotiation skills in the future and to further explore the Vietnamese market with my colleagues.”
4. What can we learn about Dinh from the first paragraph

A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. Even the rise of skateboarding is the result of the deep relationships between humans and the climate.
“To make connections between climate and society, we often look into the past, but as we go further back, the evidence gets thinner,” said lead author Professor Büntgen. “We wanted to find a more modern example where we had lots of data to look at. That is how we began to study skateboarding.”
As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s. The government’s water agencies responded by mandating strict cuts, including a ban stopping people from filling backyard swimming pools. As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. Naturally, skateboarding exploded in popularity.
Büntgen said, “California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. You could have had the same drought, the same pools in somewhere like Phoenix, but since Phoenix doesn’t have a rich surf culture, professional skateboarding couldn’t have started there.”
With the rise of professional skateboarding came the industrial production of polyurethane (聚氨酯) wheels, which allowed skaters to make faster turns at higher speeds than they could with earlier steel wheels. All these factors made skateboarding more popular. Nowadays, it is a multibillion-dollar industry.
The example of California best shows that local climate change can have major effects on human society.
8. What is the finding of the new study
A. Climate changes affect human behavior.
B. Popular games benefit greatly from droughts.
C. The environment changes people’s relationships.
D. Culture contributes to the industry development.
9. What does the underlined word “mandating” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Carrying out. B. Counting on. C. Sticking with. D. Getting over.
10. According to Büntgen, what is a special factor promoting skateboarding in California
A. Drought. B. Location. C. Swimming pools. D. Surf culture.
11. From which section is this text most probably taken
A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Business.
D
Two days before I had a heart attack, I’d been leading an expedition (探险). I was 37, and active. Even when I got to hospital, I hardly believed I was having a heart attack, but I was rushed into an operating room.
When I came out of hospital three days later, I could barely walk and was put into cardiac rehab (心脏康复) with a group of 85-year-olds. But I believed I needed something else to heal (治愈) me. As an outdoors guy who could make stone tools and live off the land, I knew that was where I needed to be. And so, after several treatments, I thought, “I’m out of here!” and went to live in a cave, near where I could hunt animals and drink from streams.
I spent about six months changing between a traditional life and living in the Colorado wilderness. I didn’t want to be away from my family for too long, so I would come back often to connect with them.
I was becoming part of the pattern of life that existed in the wild, understanding the sounds and the smells. You can choose to fight it, or to try to control it, but when you accept it, you reach a deeper understanding of who you are and what you’re doing out there. The day of my heart attack changed my life, because it was a reawakening. Knowing that eventually one day you will die, you need to live the life that you want, find the value.
For all the time I still spend in the wilderness, social media has actually become a big part of my life. Before my heart attack, I was never on it, but, afterwards, people encouraged me to start a YouTube channel sharing my skills. Now I’ve written books, done reality shows and consulted for movies. I’ve embraced this element of modern life, and hope to fuel people’s curiosity about the natural world.
Many of us accept life just the way it is, but there are some who want something different. Luckily, I am the latter one.
12. Why did the author go to live in a cave
A. To heal himself. B. To avoid the old people.
C. To lead an expedition. D. To practice survival skills.
13. What may the word “reawakening” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Living the life you want. B. Accepting life as it is.
C. Fighting for an easy life. D. Bringing life under control.
14. Why is the author on social media now
A. To report the process of his recovery. B. To share outdoor survival skills.
C. To kill time while in the wilderness. D. To fuel curiosity about modern life.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A cave that impressed me B. A strong desire for modern life
C. A moment that changed me D. A new understanding of the wild

After visiting family in Rutland, Tay, together with her three-year-old son and his “favourite companion”, a cuddly toy monkey, caught the train to go back to their home in Bristol.
As they switched trains at Birmingham New Street station, Tay realized that the monkey had been left behind. Her son, she said, was heartbroken.
“He just burst into tears,” Tay said. “He just kept asking ’Where’s my monkey ’ I told him ‘it’s just like playing hide and seek’ and reassured him that lots of kind people were looking for the monkey and the postman would send it back.”
Tay called Network Rail but it was too late, and the CrossCountry train had already left the station. Tay was not hopeful about a reunion but the monkey was a gift to her son on the day he was born, so she passed its sentimental (情感的) value to the train staff.
As she and her disappointed son made their way home, staff at various train companies worked together to track down the toy. They managed to locate the monkey. Tay was kept informed of the progress and told that, as it was by then too late that day, the monkey would be kept overnight in the Lost and Found at Birmingham. Determined to give the monkey a comfortable stay, staff at the station found it a hand-knitted sweater that had been previously used as a Christmas decoration. Next morning, the monkey, which usually slept with its owner every night, was on an early train from Birmingham to Bristol, where Tay was waiting.
“I collected it on my bicycle and brought it home. I just said to my son ’guess what I’ve got for you’ and pulled it out my bag. ” She added that the monkey’s new sweater had been a “lovely surprise” and the railway logo on there reminded them of the journey it made.
In total, four train companies helped the monkey home and it covered an extra 619 miles. Tay said, “The monkey’s been with my son ever since and we are keeping it close, so no more adventures for it in the future.”
