A simple haircut can be a major stress or for someone with cognitive or physical disabilities. Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.
With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet.
Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful. “Everyone is desperate for a safe place that will not be a crazy meltdown experience, and oftentimes that means calling down to someone’s house,” she says. “Going anywhere else seems unimaginable.” But Rongitsch dreams of a place where anyone can feel safe and comfortable getting a haircut outside the home.
Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate.
A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch.
As for the staff, Rongitsch would look to hire people with “a heart full of love for each individual,” she says. Stylists would learn how to handle customers who don’t like others touching their hair. They would also give every client the same level of dignity, which is particularly important to Rongitsch, who’s seen strangers ignore Maddy. “They’re not sure if it’s a physical disability or mental disability loo, so they will talk to me and not her,” says Rongitsch. “That issue is the biggest with her: just being acknowledged as a person.”
24. What can we know about Rongitsch from the first 3 paragraphs
A. She has a nine-year-old daughter who uses a wheelchair.
B. She sometimes calls on at someone’s house to make haircuts.
C. She owns an available Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota.
D. Her daughter has been diagnosed with high-functioning autism.
25. What service can people with autism enjoy at Dignified Beauty
A. Passionate music.
B. Devices for relieving stress.
C. Immoderate equipment.
D. Thrilling movies with tense plots.
26. Which of the following best describes Rongitsch
A. Positive and selfless.
B. Elegant and ambitious.
C. Optimistic and devoted.
D. Considerate and insightful.
27. What can be the suitable title for the text
A. Rongitsch — A Kindhearted Stylist with Love for Individual
B People with Disabilities Deserve Dignity as Healthy People
C. A Salon Accessible to People with Disabilities to Be Opened by a Woman
D. Rongitsch and Her disabled Daughters Long for Being Acknowledged as a Person
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了明尼苏达州的发型师Rongitsch正在计划开一家理发店，给自闭症患者和身体残疾者提供一个舒适的理发环境和服务。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful.(Rongitsch已经打电话给那些传统沙龙有压力的孩子，要求给他们上门理发。)”和第一段最后一句“But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.(但明尼苏达州的一位造型师希望通过开设一家无障碍沙龙来改变这一现状)”可知，Rongitsch的职业是造型师，故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm.(解压玩具和毯子随时可以帮助人们保持冷静。)”可知，在Dignified Beauty理发沙龙，患者可以使用一些设备来舒缓情绪。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据整篇文章信息，尤其是第一段中“But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.(但明尼苏达州的一位造型师希望通过开设一家无障碍沙龙来改变这一现状)”，倒数第三段“Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate.(Rongitsch正计划在明尼苏达州圣保罗开设Dignified Beauty。门和走道将有足够的空间容纳轮椅，带纹理的地板将使视障人士轻松通行。)”和倒数第二段中“A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch.(Dignified Beauty类似水疗中心的氛围不会太刺激自闭症患者。响亮的前40名热门歌曲将被柔和的古典音乐（如果有的话）取代。造型师会使用安静的吹风机和柔和的声音。解压玩具和毯子随时可以帮助人们保持冷静。如果有人感到被声音、气味或触摸淹没，可以使用安全空间。)”可知，Rongitsch考虑到理发店的门和通道要有足够的空间让轮椅通过，所以创办了理发沙龙，并在该沙龙使用纹理地板、古典轻音乐、无声吹风机等，让患者得到安慰。总结可知，Rongitsch是一个考虑周到、有洞察力的人。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中“Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.(吹风机发出的巨大噪音和强烈的气味可能会触发自闭症患者，而对于坐轮椅的人来说，进门可能会很困难。但明尼苏达州的一位造型师希望通过开设一家无障碍沙龙来改变这一现状)”和第二段“With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet.(有一个九岁的继女Maddy，她因脊柱裂而坐轮椅(脊柱裂), Cat Rongitch亲身体验了美发沙龙等难以进入的空间。“我们被拖过后门，或者被要求把她抬下楼梯或使用货运电梯，因为他们不准备容纳她，”Rongitch说，她还有一个三岁的女儿，可能患有高功能自闭症，尽管她还没有接受检测。)”可知，本文主要讲述Rongitsch致力于开办一个新的理发沙龙，为自闭症患者和其它残障人员提供便利，C项“由一位女性开设的残疾人士沙龙”适合作文章标题。故选C。
C
While you’re hiding away the Christmas presents, animals are storing food for the winter! Many animals “cache” (贮藏) or hide food for time to come, similar to how we stock our pantries with food. In the winter months, caching allows animals to survive when food is scarce.
Some animals, such as bobcats and mountain lions, leave dead animals’ bodies for short periods of time buried beneath surrounding vegetation. Other animals, such as rodents and birds, store seeds for long periods of time in places they’ll return to weeks or even months later.
Hiding food throughout an animal’s home range is known as scatter hoarding. This keeps the caches low and less enticing to any potential thieves. However, this technique requires a good memory, as the food is often in dozens, if not hundreds, of different locations.
Another caching technique involves animals collecting food in only a couple of places, referred to as larder hoarding. These caches are often found in cavities such as a hollow tree or a hole in the ground. They are easier to find but require lots of defensive measures.
Here are some of the animals that cache in the Peach State:
Birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and jays can store hundreds of seeds in a single day. Each seed is placed in a different location, and they usually remember where each is, even months later. Flying squirrels store a variety of seeds, nuts and acorns in their nests and in trees. These nocturnal squirrels will even bury seeds in the ground. It is believed that a single lying squirrel can store over 15,000 seeds in a year! Moles trap live earthworms underground. The mole bites the earthworm’s head off, and colder temperatures slow the earthworm down. If the weather warms up before the mole has a chance to consume its prey, however, earthworms can regrow their heads and tunnel their way to freedom.
28. In what respect are the first two paragraphs similar
A. Using comparison as a method of exposition.
B. Stressing the importance of storing to animals.
C. Revealing differences in food storage among different animals.
D. Discussing the threat seasonal change brings to animals’ survival.
29. What does the underlined word “enticing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Familiar. B. Harmful. C. Appealing. D. Suffient.
30. What does the author think of larder hoarding
A. It is a test for animals’ memory.
B. It is time-saving and eco-friendly.
C. It can easily ensure caches’ safety.
D. It bring animals convenience as well as risk.
31. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Moles take earthworms as their only food resource.
B. Chickadees adopt scatter hoarding to store their seeds.
C. A flying squirrel is better at storing seeds than any bird.
D. Earthworms have no chance of survival once bitten by moles.
【答案】28 A 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了不同动物贮藏食物的方式。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“While you’re hiding away the Christmas presents, animals are storing food for the winter! Many animals “cache” (贮藏) or hide food for time to come, similar to how we stock our pantries with food. (当你把圣诞礼物藏起来的时候，动物们正在为冬天储存食物！许多动物“贮藏”或藏食物以备不时之需，就像我们在食品储藏室储存食物一样)”可知，第一段将动物贮存食物与人类把食物放在储藏室做了比较；根据第二段“Some animals, such as bobcats and mountain lions, leave dead animals’ bodies for short periods of time buried beneath surrounding vegetation. Other animals, such as rodents and birds, store seeds for long periods of time in places they’ll return to weeks or even months later. (一些动物，如山猫和美洲狮，会将动物尸体短时间埋在周围的植被下。其他动物，如啮齿动物和鸟类，将种子长时间储存在它们几周甚至几个月后会返回的地方)”可知，第二段把不同动物的贮存对象与方法做了比较，由此可知，开头两段在展开论述时，都采用了比较的阐述手法。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Hiding food throughout an animal’s home range is known as scatter hoarding. (在动物的活动范围内隐藏食物被称为分散囤积)”说明一些动物隐藏食物是分散的，这样每份食物的存量就更低，对于潜在窃食者而言，更低的存量对他们的诱惑也就更少。从而推知划线词句“This keeps the caches low and less enticing to any potential thieves. (这使得食物存量很低，对任何潜在的窃食者都不那么enticing)”其中划线部分意思是“有诱惑的，有吸引力的”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Another caching technique involves animals collecting food in only a couple of places, referred to as larder hoarding. These caches are often found in cavities such as a hollow tree or a hole in the ground. They are easier to find but require lots of defensive measures. (另一种贮藏技术是动物只在几个地方收集食物，被称为储藏室囤积。这些贮藏食物通常在树洞或地洞等洞穴中发现。它们更容易找到，但需要很多防御措施)”可知，作者认为这种囤积方法给动物带来了便利，也带来了风险。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and jays can store hundreds of seeds in a single day. Each seed is placed in a different location, and they usually remember where each is, even months later. (北美山雀、胡桃鸟、山雀和松鸦等鸟类一天可以储存数百颗种子。每颗种子都被放置在不同的位置，它们通常会记得每颗种子在哪里，甚至几个月后)”可知，北美山雀采用分散贮食法。故选B项。
D
Biological fieldwork can mean trips to exotic places. But the work itself can be depressing, especially when you are trying to track down complicated subjects. The most common method is to send a few eager graduate students armed with camera traps and several weeks of spare time. But perhaps not for much longer. A paper published in Current Biology, whose lead authors are Christina Lynggaard at the University of Copenhagen and Jan Gogarten at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health in Germany, suggests an easier method: simply swabbing (用拭子拭抹) nearby leaves for DNA.
The DNA in question is called “environmental DNA” (eDNA for short). It refers to all the genetic information that animals shed as they go about their daily business: breathing, urinating. moving around, or interacting with their environment in any way.
In recent years, gene-sequencing technology has become quick and sensitive enough to pick out genetic sequences from this universal eDNA-particular animals, including humans. One way of doing so is to blow air through filters, then analyses them to see which creatures live in the surroundings.
Aware of that technique, Drs Gogarten and Lynggaard wondered if there might be a simpler approach. Air-sampling systems can take days to do their work. Maintenance must be done, and filters must be changed. But given that eDNA is literally blowing around ecosystems, the researchers wondered if it might be collected on leaves. The leaves of many plants are waxy (质地光滑) and somewhat sticky. The researchers theorized that eDNA might end up stuck to leaves and that it could subsequently be collected by swabbing them. They tested their theory in the dense rainforests of Kibale National Park, in Uganda.
The swabs revealed the presence of 26 birds, 24 mammals, one amphibian and one fish, with each swab containing DNA from eight animals on average. More than half the samples were good enough to work out the precise species they came from.
32 When can biological fieldwork be discouraging
A. You’re tracing down complex issues.
B. You’re exploring exotic destinations.
C. You’re making trips to unfamiliar fields.
D. You’re appointing graduates to send camera traps.
33. What assumption did the researchers make about eDNA
A. It can be tested in distant rainforests.
B. It might be gathered by swabbing leaves.
C. It might end up to be a little smooth and sticky.
D. It can literally center on ecosystem protection.
34. How does the author present the research findings
A. By making a comparison.
B. By analyzing the cause.
C. By giving some examples.
D. By providing some figures.
35. What is this passage mainly talking about
A. A new system to swab leaves.
B. A convenient way to track animals.
C. A novel method to identify samples.
D. A special technique to sequence genes.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种更为简洁的确认动物踪迹的基因采集技术。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But the work itself can be depressing, especially when you are trying to track down complicated subjects.(但这项工作本身可能令人沮丧，尤其是当你试图追踪复杂的主题时。)”可知，生物研究工作在追踪复杂主题时，可能让研究者备感压力。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers theorized that eDNA might end up stuck to leaves and that it could subsequently be collected by swabbing them.(研究人员推测，eDNA可能最终会附着在树叶上，随后可以通过擦拭树叶来收集。)”可知，研究者们在eDNA实验中得出的实验结论为：eDNA最后会留在树叶上，可以通过拭子拭抹的方式提取这些eDNA。故选B。

推理判断题。根据最后一段“The swabs revealed the presence of 26 birds, 24 mammals, one amphibian and one fish, with each swab containing DNA from eight animals on average. More than half the samples were good enough to work out the precise species they came from. (样本中发现了26种鸟类、24种哺乳动物、1种两栖动物和1种鱼类，平均每份样本中含有8种动物的DNA。超过一半的样本足够精确，可以确定它们来自哪个物种。)”可推断，实验的研究结果是通过列数据进行展现的。故选D。
【35题详解】
文章大意题。根据文章第一段的“Biological fieldwork can mean trips to exotic places. But the work itself can be depressing, especially when you are trying to track down complicated subjects.及A paper published in Current Biology, whose lead authors are Christina Lynggaard at the University of Copenhagen and Jan Gogarten at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health in Germany, suggests an easier method: simply swabbing nearby leaves for DNA.(生物学野外考察意味着去异国他乡旅行。但这项工作本身可能令人沮丧，尤其是当你试图追踪复杂的主题时。最常见的方法是派几个带着相机和几周空闲时间的热切的研究生去。但这种情况可能不会持续太久。哥本哈根大学的Christina Lynggaard和德国亥姆霍兹单一健康研究所的Jan Gogarten发表在《当代生物学》上的一篇论文提出了一种更简单的方法:简单地用拭子拭抹叶子附近的DNA。)”可知，全文主要介绍了一个使用棉签擦拭树叶收集生物遗留在树叶上的环境DNA从而去追踪complicated subject的方法。而且文章最后一段“The swabs revealed the presence of 26 birds, 24 mammals, one amphibian and one fish, with each swab containing DNA from eight animals on average.(样本中发现了26种鸟类、24种哺乳动物、1种两栖动物和1种鱼类，平均每份样本中含有8种动物的DNA。)”这一句提到的都是动物物种，综合这三处可知。本文介绍的是一个更为方便的追踪动物的方法。故选B。

India’s touring (流动的) cinemas are dying, and being reborn. And India is perhaps the most film-mad country in the world while it also has the lowest ratios of screens to human beings. ____36____ The screens that do exist are unevenly distributed. PVR, India’s biggest cinema operator, has more screens in Chandigarh, a prosperous city of about a million people, than it does in Rajasthan, a poor stale of 80 million. If Muhammad could not go to the movies, the movies had to come to Muhammad. Twenty years ago, there were 1,400 odd touring cinemas in Pusegaon. ____37____ However, today there are only 52 travelling cinemas.
____38____ One is smartphone and internet expansion, which leads to the other reason for the collapse of the touring cinemas: ____39____ Sushil Chaudhary, the founder of a new chain of touring cinemas called Picture Time, is making a different bet on the possibilities of cinema. Mr. Chaudhary started his company in 2015 and has since set up 37 moving screens seating between 100 and 250 people. The touring cinema was nothing like the one in Pusegaon. ____40____ The picture was crystal clear and the sound used Dolby.

【答案】36. G 37. E 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了印度“巡回影院”的近况。
【36题详解】
上文“And India is perhaps the most film-mad country in the world while it also has the lowest ratios of screens to human beings. (印度可能是世界上对电影最狂热的国家，但它的银幕与人口的比例也是最低的。)”指出在最喜欢看电影的国家大屏幕与人的配比却最低，这是一种现实的矛盾。选项G“这是那里无数矛盾中的又一个矛盾”承接总结上文，说明这是又一矛盾。故选G项。
【37题详解】
上文“If Muhammad could not go to the movies, the movies had to come to Muhammad. Twenty years ago, there were 1,400 odd touring cinemas in Pusegaon.(如果穆罕默德不能去看电影，电影就得来找穆罕默德。20年前，Pusegaon有1400多家巡回电影院)”借用穆罕默德一句名言“山不过来，我过去”，说明巡回影院的兴起和昌盛，选项E“正是在这样的世界中，巡回影院发挥了至关重要的作用”承接上文，说明巡回影院发挥了至关重要的作用。故选E项。
【38题详解】
下文“One is smartphone and internet expansion, which leads to the other reason for the collapse of the touring cinemas: (一个是智能手机和互联网的扩张，这导致了巡回电影院的崩溃的另一个原因)”主要介绍巡回影院衰落的两个原因，选项F“巡回电影院的衰落有两个相互关联的原因”引领下文，提出巡回影院的衰落有两个原因。故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“One is smartphone and internet expansion, which leads to the other reason for the collapse of the touring cinemas: (一个是智能手机和互联网的扩张，这导致了巡回电影院的崩溃的另一个原因)”可知，下文要介绍流动影院衰落的另一个原因，结合后文“Sushil Chaudhary, the founder of a new chain of touring cinemas called Picture Time, is making a different bet on the possibilities of cinema. (Sushil Chaudhary，一个名为Picture Time的新连锁巡回电影院的创始人，正在对电影院的可能性进行不同的押注)”可知，“巡回电影”衰落主要原因应该是它没有与时俱进，选项A“它们没有随着时间的推移而改变。”符合题意。故选A项。
【40题详解】
上文“The touring cinema was nothing like the one in Pusegaon. (这个巡回电影院与Pusegaon的电影院完全不同。)”和下文“The picture was crystal clear and the sound used Dolby. (画面清晰，音效采用杜比)”说明这个巡回影院和Pusegaon的电影院不同，画质和音效都非常好，基础设施更优越，选项C“地板上铺了地毯，还有塑料椅子。”承上启下，介绍这家巡回影院的更优越的基础设施。故选C项。

67. 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。
I started in on Winn-Dixie right away, trying to clean him. First, I gave him a bath. The whole time I was working on him, I was talking to him. And he listened. I told him how we were alike. “See,” I said, “you don’t have any family and neither do I. I’ve got the preacher, of course. But I don’t have a mama. I mean I have one, but I don’t know where she is. She left when I was three years old. I can’t hardly remember her. And I bet you don’t remember your mama much either. So we’re almost like orphans (孤儿).”
Winn-Dixie looked straight at me when I said that to him, like he was feeling relieved to finally have somebody understand his situation. I nodded my head at him and went on talking.
“I don’t even have any friends, because I had to leave them all behind when we moved here from Watley. Watley’s up in north Florida. Have you ever been to north Florida ”
Winn-Dixie looked down at the ground, like he was trying to remember if he had. “You know what ” I said. “Ever since we moved here, I’ve been thinking about my mama extra-extra hard, more than I ever did when I was in Watley.”
Winn-Dixie twitched (抽动) his ears and raised his eyebrows.
“I think the preacher thinks about my mama all the time, too. He’s still in love with her; I know that. He’s still hoping she’ll come back. But he doesn’t tell me that. He won’t talk to me about her at all. I want to know more about her. But I’m afraid to ask the preacher; I’m afraid he’ll get mad at me.”
Winn-Dixie looked at me hard, like he was trying to say something.
“What ” I said.
He stared at me.
“You think I should make the preacher tell me about her ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Winn-Dixie still looked at me. “I’ll think about it,” I said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was the first time that I had a heart-to-heart talk with my dad-the preacher.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Winn-Dixie still looked at me. “I’ll think about it,” I said. “But you should know that the preacher is very fond of your mama and he won’t be angry with you for asking about her.” I reassured him, knowing that his mother’s absence had left a deep wound in his heart. “You are my friend, Winn-Dixie,” I continued, “and I will always be here for you. If there’s anything you want to talk about, don’t hesitate to tell me.” He whined and licked my hand as he followed me. Then he tucked its tail and gave me a warm smile. It seemed that this little furry got across what I meant.
It was the first time that I had a heart-to-heart talk with my dad—the preacher. As we sat together, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt for not being there when he needed me the most. “I should have been more aware of how much he missed my mama,” I thought to myself. “Perhaps I can help him find some comfort in talking about her.” Determined, I approached the preacher one evening and gently suggested that he spend some time getting to know Winn-Dixie better. To my surprise, he readily agreed, and from that moment on, they became close friends. As they spent more time together, I saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes—a hope that one day, he might be able to find the love and acceptance he so desperately sought.

A simple haircut can be a major stress or for someone with cognitive or physical disabilities. Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.
With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet.
Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful. “Everyone is desperate for a safe place that will not be a crazy meltdown experience, and oftentimes that means calling down to someone’s house,” she says. “Going anywhere else seems unimaginable.” But Rongitsch dreams of a place where anyone can feel safe and comfortable getting a haircut outside the home.
Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate.
A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch.
As for the staff, Rongitsch would look to hire people with “a heart full of love for each individual,” she says. Stylists would learn how to handle customers who don’t like others touching their hair. They would also give every client the same level of dignity, which is particularly important to Rongitsch, who’s seen strangers ignore Maddy. “They’re not sure if it’s a physical disability or mental disability loo, so they will talk to me and not her,” says Rongitsch. “That issue is the biggest with her: just being acknowledged as a person.”
24. What can we know about Rongitsch from the first 3 paragraphs
A. She has a nine-year-old daughter who uses a wheelchair.
B. She sometimes calls on at someone’s house to make haircuts.
C. She owns an available Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota.
D. Her daughter has been diagnosed with high-functioning autism.
25. What service can people with autism enjoy at Dignified Beauty
A. Passionate music.
B. Devices for relieving stress.
C. Immoderate equipment.
D. Thrilling movies with tense plots.
26. Which of the following best describes Rongitsch
A. Positive and selfless.
B. Elegant and ambitious.
C. Optimistic and devoted.
D. Considerate and insightful.
27. What can be the suitable title for the text
A. Rongitsch — A Kindhearted Stylist with Love for Individual
B. People with Disabilities Deserve Dignity as Healthy People
C. A Salon Accessible to People with Disabilities to Be Opened by a Woman
D. Rongitsch and Her disabled Daughters Long for Being Acknowledged as a Person

While you’re hiding away the Christmas presents, animals are storing food for the winter! Many animals “cache” (贮藏) or hide food for time to come, similar to how we stock our pantries with food. In the winter months, caching allows animals to survive when food is scarce.
Some animals, such as bobcats and mountain lions, leave dead animals’ bodies for short periods of time buried beneath surrounding vegetation. Other animals, such as rodents and birds, store seeds for long periods of time in places they’ll return to weeks or even months later.
Hiding food throughout an animal’s home range is known as scatter hoarding. This keeps the caches low and less enticing to any potential thieves. However, this technique requires a good memory, as the food is often in dozens, if not hundreds, of different locations.
Another caching technique involves animals collecting food in only a couple of places, referred to as larder hoarding. These caches are often found in cavities such as a hollow tree or a hole in the ground. They are easier to find but require lots of defensive measures.
Here are some of the animals that cache in the Peach State:
Birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and jays can store hundreds of seeds in a single day. Each seed is placed in a different location, and they usually remember where each is, even months later. Flying squirrels store a variety of seeds, nuts and acorns in their nests and in trees. These nocturnal squirrels will even bury seeds in the ground. It is believed that a single lying squirrel can store over 15,000 seeds in a year! Moles trap live earthworms underground. The mole bites the earthworm’s head off, and colder temperatures slow the earthworm down. If the weather warms up before the mole has a chance to consume its prey, however, earthworms can regrow their heads and tunnel their way to freedom.
28. In what respect are the first two paragraphs similar
A Using comparison as a method of exposition.
B. Stressing the importance of storing to animals.
C. Revealing differences in food storage among different animals.
D. Discussing the threat seasonal change brings to animals’ survival.
29. What does the underlined word “enticing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Familiar. B. Harmful. C. Appealing. D. Suffient.
30. What does the author think of larder hoarding
A. It is a test for animals’ memory.
B. It is time-saving and eco-friendly.
C. It can easily ensure caches’ safety.
D. It bring animals convenience as well as risk.
31. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Moles take earthworms as their only food resource.
B. Chickadees adopt scatter hoarding to store their seeds.
C. A flying squirrel is better at storing seeds than any bird.
D. Earthworms have no chance of survival once bitten by moles.
D
Biological fieldwork can mean trips to exotic places. But the work itself can be depressing, especially when you are trying to track down complicated subjects. The most common method is to send a few eager graduate students armed with camera traps and several weeks of spare time. But perhaps not for much longer. A paper published in Current Biology, whose lead authors are Christina Lynggaard at the University of Copenhagen and Jan Gogarten at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health in Germany, suggests an easier method: simply swabbing (用拭子拭抹) nearby leaves for DNA.
The DNA in question is called “environmental DNA” (eDNA for short). It refers to all the genetic information that animals shed as they go about their daily business: breathing, urinating. moving around, or interacting with their environment in any way.
In recent years, gene-sequencing technology has become quick and sensitive enough to pick out genetic sequences from this universal eDNA-particular animals, including humans. One way of doing so is to blow air through filters, then analyses them to see which creatures live in the surroundings.
Aware of that technique, Drs Gogarten and Lynggaard wondered if there might be a simpler approach. Air-sampling systems can take days to do their work. Maintenance must be done, and filters must be changed. But given that eDNA is literally blowing around ecosystems, the researchers wondered if it might be collected on leaves. The leaves of many plants are waxy (质地光滑) and somewhat sticky. The researchers theorized that eDNA might end up stuck to leaves and that it could subsequently be collected by swabbing them. They tested their theory in the dense rainforests of Kibale National Park, in Uganda.
The swabs revealed the presence of 26 birds, 24 mammals, one amphibian and one fish, with each swab containing DNA from eight animals on average. More than half the samples were good enough to work out the precise species they came from.
32. When can biological fieldwork be discouraging
A. You’re tracing down complex issues.
B. You’re exploring exotic destinations.
C. You’re making trips to unfamiliar fields.
D. You’re appointing graduates to send camera traps.
33. What assumption did the researchers make about eDNA
A. It can be tested in distant rainforests.
B. It might be gathered by swabbing leaves.
C It might end up to be a little smooth and sticky.
D. It can literally center on ecosystem protection.
34. How does the author present the research findings
A. By making a comparison.
B. By analyzing the cause.
C. By giving some examples.
D. By providing some figures.
35. What is this passage mainly talking about
A. A new system to swab leaves.
B. A convenient way to track animals.
C. A novel method to identify samples.
D. A special technique to sequence genes.

67. 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。
I started in on Winn-Dixie right away, trying to clean him. First, I gave him a bath. The whole time I was working on him, I was talking to him. And he listened. I told him how we were alike. “See,” I said, “you don’t have any family and neither do I. I’ve got the preacher, of course. But I don’t have a mama. I mean I have one, but I don’t know where she is. She left when I was three years old. I can’t hardly remember her. And I bet you don’t remember your mama much either. So we’re almost like orphans (孤儿).”
Winn-Dixie looked straight at me when I said that to him, like he was feeling relieved to finally have somebody understand his situation. I nodded my head at him and went on talking.
“I don’t even have any friends, because I had to leave them all behind when we moved here from Watley. Watley’s up in north Florida. Have you ever been to north Florida ”
Winn-Dixie looked down at the ground, like he was trying to remember if he had. “You know what ” I said. “Ever since we moved here, I’ve been thinking about my mama extra-extra hard, more than I ever did when I was in Watley.”
Winn-Dixie twitched (抽动) his ears and raised his eyebrows.
“I think the preacher thinks about my mama all the time, too. He’s still in love with her; I know that. He’s still hoping she’ll come back. But he doesn’t tell me that. He won’t talk to me about her at all. I want to know more about her. But I’m afraid to ask the preacher; I’m afraid he’ll get mad at me.”
Winn-Dixie looked at me hard, like he was trying to say something.
“What ” I said
He stared at me.
“You think I should make the preacher tell me about her ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Winn-Dixie still looked at me. “I’ll think about it,” I said.
