Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal（校长）is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I am very sorry about this.
Much love, Susan.
P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!

Humans are not the only ones adapting to the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—as some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift” their bodies in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study in Trends in Ecology & Evolution led by Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers identified new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks in some cases. The researchers noted that according to a principle known as “Allen’s Rule,” warm-blooded animals living in colder climates tend to have smaller appendages (like beaks or legs) than animals of the same species living in warmer climates.
Some of the most convincing evidence of shapeshifting was found in birds in Australia and North America, according to researchers. Certain species of Australian parrots have demonstrated about 4%-10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, which researchers attribute to rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (暗眼灯草雀) also has been seen an increase in beak size. Larger beaks help birds dissipate additional body heat more effectively, the study said, which is a useful feature as global temperatures rise.
“A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media, people are asking ‘can humans overcome this ’ or ‘what technology can solve this ’” Ryding said in a news release from Cell Press. She said that just like humans, animals also had to adapt to climate changes. Ryding added, “The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not.” “Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is ‘fine,’” Ryding said, “It just means they are evolving to survive it.”
8．What do we know from the recent study led by Sara Ryding
A. All species will not adapt to climate change.
B. Animals are dealing with climate change well.
C. The junco has been seen an increase in beak size in Australia.
D. Animals living in warmer climates tend to have smaller beaks.
9．What does the underlined word “dissipate” in paragraph3 probably mean
A. Take in. B. Turn off. C. Build up. D. Get rid of.
10．Which of the following best describe Sara Ryding’s feeling about the animal’s shape-shift A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Indifferent. D. Amazed.
11．What can be the best title of this passage
A. Animals Are Coping with Climate Change.
B. Rising Temperatures Are Threatening Animals.
C. Humans Are To Blame for Animals Shapeshift.
D. Climate Change Is Making Some Species Shapeshift.

31． 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。
An Unforgivable Mistake
A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I've always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers(行凶抢劫者)in the park, I didn't usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn't have anything But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $ 10 bill in my back pocket.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running, another jogger bumped(撞) into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn't think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of muggers in the park occurred to me. He could have been a mugger! I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket. The money was missing! I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up with him and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $ 10bill. I'm not usually a hot-headed person, but I really lost my temper at that moment. I couldn't believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife the story." You won't believe what happened to me," I started with pride. She immediately interrupted(插话),"I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table."
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考答案
1．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES部分中的Operating the Internet, the slide presentation, EF-developed courseware (课件) efficiently and skillfully.(熟练操作网络、幻灯片演示、EF高效开发课件)可知，英孚教育首先要求他们的教师能熟练使用电子媒体。故选A。
2．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据BENEFITS部分中的Attend training conferences for ongoing professional development(参加正在进行的专业发展培训会议)可知，英孚在线英语教师能够享受专业发展指导。故选C。
3．答案：C

7．答案：C
8．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not. Shape shifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is fine. It just means they are evolving to survive it.”(我们造成的气候变化给它们带来了很大的压力，虽然一些物种能够适应，但其他物种则不能。变形并不意味着动物能应对气候变化，一切都很“好”，它只是意味着它们在进化中生存下来。)可知，并不是所有的动物们都能适应气候的变化，我们的气候变化会对它们造成一些压力，它们只是生存下来而已。故选A。
9．答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据前文“In North America, the dark-eyed junco (暗眼灯草雀) also has been seen an increase in beak size.”(在北美，黑眼睛的暗眼灯草雀喙的尺寸也有所增加。)和下文“the study said, which is a useful feature as global temperatures rise.(这是全球气温上升时的一个有用特征。)”可知，为了适应环境变化，暗眼灯草雀的喙更大了，这能够让暗眼灯草雀能在气温升高的环境下，更有效地发散身体额外的热量，从而适应环境生存下来。由此可知，句中划线处dissipate意为“消散”与D选项get rid of(摆脱，除去)意思一致。故选D。
10．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not. Shape shifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is fine. It just means they are evolving to survive it.”(我们造成的气候变化给它们带来了很大的压力，虽然一些物种能够适应，但其他物种则不能。变形并不意味着动物能应对气候变化，一切都很“好”，它只是意味着它们在进化中生存下来。)可知，并不是所有的动物们都能适应气候的变化，我们的气候变化会对它们造成一些压力，它们只是生存下来而已。可知作者对动物的变形的态度是担忧。与A选项concerned(担忧的)一致。故选A。
11．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段中“Humans are not the only ones adapting to the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—as some warm-blooded animals are beginning to ‘shapeshift’ their bodies in response to shifts in climate.”(人类并不是唯一适应全球气候变化影响的人。动物也在适应环境的变化—一些温血动物开始‘改变’自己的身体，以应对气候变化。)可知，文章是阐述是一个最新的研究发现—动物通过不断“改变”自己的身体来适应环境。故选D。
12．答案：EGCAF

③根据下文“Tell them what books you have enjoyed as well as the subjects that interest and inspire you, and they’ll be able to recommend your next read.(告诉他们你喜欢什么书，以及你感兴趣和启发你的主题，他们就能推荐你的下一个读物)”可知，图书管理员能为你推荐读物，C项“图书管理员也可以提出很好的建议”引起下文。故选C。
④根据本段中“Libraries are best known for their vast book collections, but they offer even more. You or an adult in your family can also stream movies and TV shows with the help of library apps like Hoopla and Kanopy.(图书馆以其庞大的藏书而闻名，但它们提供的不止于此。你或家里的成年人也可以在Hoopla和Kanopy等图书馆应用程序的帮助下播放电影和电视节目)”可知，除了书，图书馆还可以提供其他东西，A项“不止是书”适合作为本段小标题。故选A。
⑤上文“Many libraries host free events for young people. You can ask a librarian or check the library’s website for a list or calendar of upcoming activities and sign up with your card.(许多图书馆为年轻人举办免费活动。你可以问图书管理员，或者在图书馆的网站上查看即将到来的活动列表或日历，然后用你的卡片注册)”提到，许多图书馆举办免费活动，可以用图书卡注册，F项“这些活动包括青少年读书俱乐部、艺术工作坊和有趣的课程”进一步介绍这些活动。故选F。

③根据下文"but the result will be satisfying."(但结果会令人满意。)为转折，说明好的方面。故可推断空格处内容为不好的方面。结合选项A项Planning a group trip may be difficult.(计划一次团体旅行可能很困难)符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选A。
④上文"Choose a popularly known destination or an unknown destination."(选择一个众所周知的目的地或一个未知的目的地。)可知讲的是关于目的地。下文"You will experience new or familiar destinations with close friends."(你会和亲密的朋友一起体验新的或熟悉的目的地。)同样讲的是关于目的地的话题。故可推断空格处内容为与此相关。结合选项G项This decision can actually set the foundation for the mood of the trip.(这个决定实际上可以为旅行的心情奠定基础。)符合此推断，起到上下文内容的承上启下作用。故选G。

30．答案：
Dear John,
How is everything going I am very glad to learn that you are coming to China soon. It’s not necessary to worry about your Chinese. I’d like to share my ideas with you.
First, be brave enough to speak Chinese when you communicate with others. It’s of great importance to be confident about yourself. We Chinese are very friendly so you needn’t be afraid of making any mistakes. Second, it’s better to speak slowly and clearly. In this way you can make yourself understood more easily. What’s more, sometimes you can use drawings and body language, which often really work.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
31．答案：
Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his helplessness on my mind. "How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth What if I waited for him to explain " I thought. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I met that jogger in the hope of meeting him, but in vain.
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place. But to my disappointment, he didn't turn up. It was almost a week before I finally saw him again. I, the "mugger", gave the $ 10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him. Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal（校长）is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I am very sorry about this.
Much love, Susan.
P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!

Humans are not the only ones adapting to the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—as some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift” their bodies in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study in Trends in Ecology & Evolution led by Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers identified new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks in some cases. The researchers noted that according to a principle known as “Allen’s Rule,” warm-blooded animals living in colder climates tend to have smaller appendages (like beaks or legs) than animals of the same species living in warmer climates.
Some of the most convincing evidence of shapeshifting was found in birds in Australia and North America, according to researchers. Certain species of Australian parrots have demonstrated about 4%-10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, which researchers attribute to rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (暗眼灯草雀) also has been seen an increase in beak size. Larger beaks help birds dissipate additional body heat more effectively, the study said, which is a useful feature as global temperatures rise.
“A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media, people are asking ‘can humans overcome this ’ or ‘what technology can solve this ’” Ryding said in a news release from Cell Press. She said that just like humans, animals also had to adapt to climate changes. Ryding added, “The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not.” “Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is ‘fine,’” Ryding said, “It just means they are evolving to survive it.”
8．What do we know from the recent study led by Sara Ryding
A. All species will not adapt to climate change.
B. Animals are dealing with climate change well.
C. The junco has been seen an increase in beak size in Australia.
D. Animals living in warmer climates tend to have smaller beaks.
9．What does the underlined word “dissipate” in paragraph3 probably mean
A. Take in. B. Turn off. C. Build up. D. Get rid of.
10．Which of the following best describe Sara Ryding’s feeling about the animal’s shape-shift A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Indifferent. D. Amazed.
11．What can be the best title of this passage
A. Animals Are Coping with Climate Change.
B. Rising Temperatures Are Threatening Animals.
C. Humans Are To Blame for Animals Shapeshift.
D. Climate Change Is Making Some Species Shapeshift.

31． 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。
An Unforgivable Mistake
A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I've always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers(行凶抢劫者)in the park, I didn't usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn't have anything But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $ 10 bill in my back pocket.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running, another jogger bumped(撞) into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn't think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of muggers in the park occurred to me. He could have been a mugger! I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket. The money was missing! I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up with him and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $ 10bill. I'm not usually a hot-headed person, but I really lost my temper at that moment. I couldn't believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife the story." You won't believe what happened to me," I started with pride. She immediately interrupted(插话),"I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table."
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place.

参考答案
1．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES部分中的Operating the Internet, the slide presentation, EF-developed courseware (课件) efficiently and skillfully.(熟练操作网络、幻灯片演示、EF高效开发课件)可知，英孚教育首先要求他们的教师能熟练使用电子媒体。故选A。
2．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据BENEFITS部分中的Attend training conferences for ongoing professional development(参加正在进行的专业发展培训会议)可知，英孚在线英语教师能够享受专业发展指导。故选C。
3．答案：C

4．答案：C
5．答案：C
6．答案：C
7．答案：C
8．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not. Shape shifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is fine. It just means they are evolving to survive it.”(我们造成的气候变化给它们带来了很大的压力，虽然一些物种能够适应，但其他物种则不能。变形并不意味着动物能应对气候变化，一切都很“好”，它只是意味着它们在进化中生存下来。)可知，并不是所有的动物们都能适应气候的变化，我们的气候变化会对它们造成一些压力，它们只是生存下来而已。故选A。
9．答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据前文“In North America, the dark-eyed junco (暗眼灯草雀) also has been seen an increase in beak size.”(在北美，黑眼睛的暗眼灯草雀喙的尺寸也有所增加。)和下文“the study said, which is a useful feature as global temperatures rise.(这是全球气温上升时的一个有用特征。)”可知，为了适应环境变化，暗眼灯草雀的喙更大了，这能够让暗眼灯草雀能在气温升高的环境下，更有效地发散身体额外的热量，从而适应环境生存下来。由此可知，句中划线处dissipate意为“消散”与D选项get rid of(摆脱，除去)意思一致。故选D。
10．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not. Shape shifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is fine. It just means they are evolving to survive it.”(我们造成的气候变化给它们带来了很大的压力，虽然一些物种能够适应，但其他物种则不能。变形并不意味着动物能应对气候变化，一切都很“好”，它只是意味着它们在进化中生存下来。)可知，并不是所有的动物们都能适应气候的变化，我们的气候变化会对它们造成一些压力，它们只是生存下来而已。可知作者对动物的变形的态度是担忧。与A选项concerned(担忧的)一致。故选A。
11．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段中“Humans are not the only ones adapting to the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—as some warm-blooded animals are beginning to ‘shapeshift’ their bodies in response to shifts in climate.”(人类并不是唯一适应全球气候变化影响的人。动物也在适应环境的变化—一些温血动物开始‘改变’自己的身体，以应对气候变化。)可知，文章是阐述是一个最新的研究发现—动物通过不断“改变”自己的身体来适应环境。故选D。
12．答案：EGCAF

③根据下文“Tell them what books you have enjoyed as well as the subjects that interest and inspire you, and they’ll be able to recommend your next read.(告诉他们你喜欢什么书，以及你感兴趣和启发你的主题，他们就能推荐你的下一个读物)”可知，图书管理员能为你推荐读物，C项“图书管理员也可以提出很好的建议”引起下文。故选C。
④根据本段中“Libraries are best known for their vast book collections, but they offer even more. You or an adult in your family can also stream movies and TV shows with the help of library apps like Hoopla and Kanopy.(图书馆以其庞大的藏书而闻名，但它们提供的不止于此。你或家里的成年人也可以在Hoopla和Kanopy等图书馆应用程序的帮助下播放电影和电视节目)”可知，除了书，图书馆还可以提供其他东西，A项“不止是书”适合作为本段小标题。故选A。
⑤上文“Many libraries host free events for young people. You can ask a librarian or check the library’s website for a list or calendar of upcoming activities and sign up with your card.(许多图书馆为年轻人举办免费活动。你可以问图书管理员，或者在图书馆的网站上查看即将到来的活动列表或日历，然后用你的卡片注册)”提到，许多图书馆举办免费活动，可以用图书卡注册，F项“这些活动包括青少年读书俱乐部、艺术工作坊和有趣的课程”进一步介绍这些活动。故选F。

③根据下文"but the result will be satisfying."(但结果会令人满意。)为转折，说明好的方面。故可推断空格处内容为不好的方面。结合选项A项Planning a group trip may be difficult.(计划一次团体旅行可能很困难)符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选A。
④上文"Choose a popularly known destination or an unknown destination."(选择一个众所周知的目的地或一个未知的目的地。)可知讲的是关于目的地。下文"You will experience new or familiar destinations with close friends."(你会和亲密的朋友一起体验新的或熟悉的目的地。)同样讲的是关于目的地的话题。故可推断空格处内容为与此相关。结合选项G项This decision can actually set the foundation for the mood of the trip.(这个决定实际上可以为旅行的心情奠定基础。)符合此推断，起到上下文内容的承上启下作用。故选G。

30．答案：
Dear John,
How is everything going I am very glad to learn that you are coming to China soon. It’s not necessary to worry about your Chinese. I’d like to share my ideas with you.
First, be brave enough to speak Chinese when you communicate with others. It’s of great importance to be confident about yourself. We Chinese are very friendly so you needn’t be afraid of making any mistakes. Second, it’s better to speak slowly and clearly. In this way you can make yourself understood more easily. What’s more, sometimes you can use drawings and body language, which often really work.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
31．答案：
Paragraph 1:
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his helplessness on my mind. "How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth What if I waited for him to explain " I thought. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I met that jogger in the hope of meeting him, but in vain.
Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same place. But to my disappointment, he didn't turn up. It was almost a week before I finally saw him again. I, the "mugger", gave the $ 10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him. Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth.
