When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was … 2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play. In my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get bad in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library”opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
24．What does the word “it” underlined in the first paragraph refer to
A．The play. B．The shared house. C．The sofa. D．The telephone box.
25．Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006
A．To place an urgent call. B．To put up a notice.
C．To shelter from the rain. D．To hold an audition.
26．What do we know about the “mini community library”
A．It provides phone service for free. B．Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C．It is popular among young readers. D．Books must be returned within a month.
27．Why did the author start to use the “library”
A．He wanted to borrow some love stories. B．He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C．He found there were excellent free books. D．He thought it was an ideal place for reading.
C
For millions of years, sea turtles (海龟) have been making the great journey from Costa Rican beaches to the ocean.
Female sea turtles come to shore to nest (筑巢) on the same beach where they were born. Scientists are not sure how sea turtles remember where they were born, but they believe that sea turtles can use the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) to help them find their way back. Mother sea turtles usually nest every two to three years, but they might lay two or three nests in one year.
Unlike most animals, the temperature inside the nest determines whether the turtles will be male or female. Warmer nests produce more female turtles. It can take from six weeks to two months for baby turtles to appear from the nest. Once they sense cooler nighttime temperatures, they will begin their perilous journey towards the sea. The little turtles’ journey to the ocean isn’t a leisurely walk on the beach. In fact,on some beaches, only 10 percent of them make it to the ocean.
Natural hunters are not the only threat to sea turtles. Humans and their activities have also severely reduced the number of sea turtles in the oceans. Fishing activities, boat traffic, artificial (人工的) lighting, and pollution are making the trip from beach to ocean difficult. Due to a variety of these threats, six out of seven sea turtle species worldwide are considered endangered or threatened.
While sea turtles may face several threats to their survival, there are many opportunities for humans to help them. For example, avoid fishing in waters that are known to have sea turtles. If you do accidentally hook (钓) a turtle, do not remove the hook. Instead, call local wildlife authorities to help with removal. Lights draw baby turtles away from the ocean. Turn off your lights at night when you are near a sea turtle nesting area. Another way to help sea turtles is to reduce your plastic use. Plastic litter is among the number one causes of deaths of sea turtles. Last, get involved with sea turtle protection efforts.
28．Which of the following are scientists unsure about
A．How often a sea turtle nests. B．What makes sea turtles male.
C．How sea turtles find their birthplace. D．Whether male sea turtles outnumber female ones.
29．What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 3mean
A．Short. B．Emotional. C．Dangerous. D．Comfortable.
30．What can we infer about sea turtles fromparagraph4
A．They are threatened to die out. B．They are primarily influenced by fishing.
C．They are well adapted to human activities. D．They are getting a lot of public attention.
31．What does the author suggest people do about sea turtle protection
A．Reduce plastic use effortfully. B．Light sea turtles’ way to the ocean.
C．Help baby sea turtles find their mothers. D．Remove any turtle they hook as soon as possible.
D
These days, more people in Denmark are surviving serious heart attacks. Some of that good news is thanks to a smartphone app called Heartrunner.
Many heart attacks happen when people are not near doctors. The most serious type of heart attack is when the heart stops. In Denmark, the survival rate for people whose heart had stopped when they were not near doctors used to be 4%. In the past 20 years, it has risen to 16%. Denmark has seen a dramatic change in survival from heart attacks after it began recruiting (招募) volunteers and arming some of them with smartphone technology.
Denmark’s emergency number is 112. Call center workers can use Heartrunner to contact up to 20 volunteers within 1.1 miles of an emergency. Workers also send out an ambulance. They often tell the caller how to start CPR. Heartrunner sends an alert (警报) to volunteers. It asks, “Can you run ” If a person says yes, the app sends the address. If there is an AED nearby, the app tells volunteers where to find it.
More than 100,000 people in Denmark volunteer for Heartrunner. About 75% of them are not health care workers. That’s OK, said expert Freddy Lippert. “The patient is dead, and if you don’t do anything, nine out of 10 will be dead forever. The faster CPR begins, the better the chance of restarting the heart. In Denmark, everyday people responded faster than professionals to more than four in 10 heart attacks.”
Erik Kaxe, 81, lives in a small Danish town. Recently, his heart stopped. His wife called 112. The ambulance was sent. And the Heartrunner alert went out. Within minutes, 10 strangers who lived nearby showed up at their house. The ambulance came 17 minutes after the call. So many helpers showed up that they were able to do far more than just CPR. When the ambulance showed up, Kaxe was breathing again. He lived and is now back at home.
“Dying wasn’t difficult” he said. “But waking up is.”
32．What do the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2 show
A．Heartrunner has raised a lot of concern.
B．Heartrunner has made a big difference in Denmark.
C．An increasing number of people have suffered heart attacks.
D．Danish doctors have successfully improved heart attack survival rates.
33,How does Heartrunner work
A．It calls 112 immediately. B．It contacts an ambulance.
C．It sends helpers to victims. D．It sends alerts to AED owners.
34．What can we infer from Freddy Lippert’s words
A．Every minute counts for victims. B．Ambulances respond slowly in Denmark.
C．There is a serious lack of health care workers. D．Volunteers for Heartrunner should be professionals.
35．Why does the author mention Kaxe
A．To tell a touching story. B．To remind us to value life.
C．To show how Heartrunner saves lives. D．To teach us how to use the life-saving app.

Sometimes it seems hard to try to make an impact on this world of ours. Often, students and their communities can begin by focusing on environmental changes. By making pretty simple changes schools can impact the earth in a positive way. 36
Use Less Paper
37 Many students and teachers already frequently use Chromebooks and Google Classroom instead of paper for instruction. Additionally, schools can allow parents to sign all forms online instead of filling out a large amount of paperwork.
Start a Recycling Club
Encourage students who are enthusiastic about environmental causes to take the lead in your school by starting a recycling club. This group can be in charge of making sure each classroom has a recycling bin and helping collect the recyclables on a weekly basis. 38 If the students feel motivated to do so, they can even raise money to support earth-friendly organizations they are enthusiastic about.
Make Eco-Friendly Purchases (购买)
Schools can encourage students to make purchases unharmful to the earth. 39 Switching from pens to pencils can make a huge difference as well. Making plentiful buying decisions that are aimed at reducing waste helps make the environment cleaner and safer.
Students are looking for a way to be a positive force in this world. 40 When schools encourage and support positive environmental efforts, everyone wins — students, teachers, parents, community members, and our world.
A．Schools can easily save trees by finding ways to use less paper.
B．Districts can also offer students access to online textbooks and workbooks.
C．Here are a few ways to inspire your school to help protect our environment.
D．This group can also help sort cafeteria packaging so more of it can be recycled.
E．With minor changes as mentioned above, schools can help students achieve that.
F．Removing as many plastic school supplies as possible can have a massive impact.
G．Then students and teachers can expand this greenery by working together to build a garden.

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。
There’s a lot that goes into moving to a new city. You’re house hunting in areas you aren’t familiar with, dragging ail of your belongings around, trying to figure out which grocery store keeps your favourite noodles in stock, and wondering when you’ll ever find a new dentist. This was exactly what I went through when I settled in Chicago.
Every day, I was fully occupied, exhausted. I found my new city so big and unfriendly.
After graduating from college in May, I moved from the town of Oxford, Mississippi, to Chicago to start my full-time job. Typically, when I went through lots of change in my life, I had consistent faces around me: my family or my friends. This time, however, it was just me. And for someone who’s an introvert (内向的人), this was anything but easy.
Besides, the job itself was also something beyond my expectation. What I learnt in college was totally different from what I needed to do in the company. I worked longer hours to sort things out and couldn’t sleep well at night. It was a lot of change at once. It was too much. I was helpless.
What’s worse, my poor health added to the helplessness. Due to days of pressure, I had a physical problem. It seemed that I had to go to hospital for a thorough examination. It seemed a small challenge compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go wrong right from the beginning.
Not having a car or knowing the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get around. Although I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was obvious that I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly got on a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.
注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I had no choice but to get off the bus. ____________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman. ____________________________________
