B篇
When Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her bike to Jamaicia Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. Bingo!
A mile into her walk, she spotted a beautiful female mute swan (疣鼻天鹅) near the water’s edge. Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that mute swans can be battle some. But as she approached this one, it didn’t move. She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas placed her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought struck her: What do I do now
Her best bet was the recovery center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. She worried others might be disturbed. However, on the subway, no one seemed particularly fazed by the feathered passenger. One guy, says Cordova-Rojas, was “sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him”.
Cordova-Rojas called the recovery center, and Tristan Higgin-botham, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove bird, bike, and the rescuer to the facility. There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning.
The staff got the swan back up on her feet. She even made a boyfriend at the center — another injured swan. Sadly even with all that tender loving care, the swan fell ill with a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova-Roias came to her rescue, she passed away.
It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city-literally. In all, Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway (with her bike). “That’s the perfect summary of who she is,” says Higginbotham.
4. How did Cordova-Rojas know the swan was in trouble
A. She noticed a scar on the swan.
B. She found the swan trapped in water.
C. The swan was behaving in an abnormal way.
D. The swan attacked her when she came near it.
5. What does the underlined word “fazed“ in paragraph 3 mean
A. On top of the world. B. In the wrong.
C. On the rocks. D. At a loss.
6. How was the swan’s life at the recovery center
A. The swan suffered a lot of pain there.
B. The swan enjoyed its staying there.
C. The swan’s life there was totally disappointing.
D. Many people came to visit the swan,
7. What sort of person was Cordova-Rojas
A. Curious and generous. B. Caring and thoughtful.
C. Energetic and independent. D. Sensible and straight-forward.
C篇
For many people catching a smell of freshly cut grass is a pleasant sign that warmer weather is here to stay. For the grass, however, this scent signals an entirely different story.
The smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical SOS, one used by plants to beg nearby creatures to save them from attack. After all, when danger strikes —whether it's gardening equipment or a hungry caterpillar — plants can't lift their roots and run. They must fight where they stand. To protect themselves, plants employ a string of molecular (分子) responses. These chemical communications can be used to poison an enemy, warn surrounding plants of dangers or attract helpful insects to perform needed services.
Clearly, plants can communicate. But does that mean they can feel pain According to some researchers, plants release gases that are the equivalent of crying out in pain. Using a laser-powered microphone, researchers have picked up sound waves produced by plants releasing gases when cut or injured. Although not audible to the human ear, the secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers cry when their leaves are cut.
There's also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. Researches show that plants understand and respond to chewing sounds made by caterpillars dining on them. As soon as the plants hear the noises, they respond with several defense mechanisms.
For some researchers, evidence of these complex communication systems — giving out noises via gas when in pain — signals that plants feel pain. Others argue that there cannot be pain without a brain to register the feeling. Still more scientists infer that plants can exhibit intelligent behavior without possessing a brain or conscious awareness.
As they grow, plants can change their paths to avoid obstacles or reach for support with their tendrils (卷须). This activity comes from a complex biological network distributed through the plants' roots, leaves and stems. This network helps plants reproduce, grow and survive.
8. What does the smell of freshly cut grass signal
A. Warmer weather. B. Being poisonous.
C. Cry for help. D. The need of services.
9. How do plants convey their pain
A. By giving out gases. B. By changing the color of their leaves.
C. By producing audible sound waves. D. By sharing it through the root systems.
10. What makes plants' intelligent behavior possible
A. Their tendrils. B. Their biological network.
C. Their communication systems. D. Their conscious awareness.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Do plants feel pain B. How plants protect themselves
C. Do plants communicate D. How plants grow and reproduce
D篇
In the past several months, Apple, Google and Samsung have all launched their newest smartphones and other products. But in the process, this may also be adding to a growing problem: electronic waste.
The limited lifespan of many tech gadgets(设备)has caused the issue of e-waste to increase over the years. “People tend not to realize that all these seemingly insignificant things have a lot of value, especially in large amounts, ”Pascal Leroy, director general of the WEEE Forum, said in a statement
How to solve the problems of e-waste is much more than just cleaning out space in your junk drawers. Actually, large amounts of e-waste are shipped to developing countries that lack the power to refuse and safely recycle these imports. The WHO warned that children, with their smaller hands, are often used to deal with mountains of e-waste in developing nations in search of valuable elements such as copper, silver, palladium and so on. The WHO said the health of more than 18 million children are being affected negatively as they are employed in this informal e-waste processing industry.
Personally, what can you do to reduce the e-waste burden Find an e-waste disposal(处理) service. The impact of recycling e-waste can be staggering. For every 1 million cellphones that are recycled, 35, 000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. Meanwhile, environmental advocates say the most important step to deal with the mounting e-waste problem is simply to try to use your electronics for as long as possible
12. What might come along with companies launching new e-products
A. More electronic waste.
B. Few optional tech gadgets.
C. Limited lifespan of the devices.
D. Important things for consumers.
13. Why are children greatly influenced by e-waste according to the WHO
A. Developed countries can’t recycle e-waste safely.
B. E-waste mountains are places for children to play.
C. Many valuable elements can be found on e-waste mountains.
D. Children are hired in the informal e-waste processing industry.
14. What does the underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Annoying. D. Challenging.
15. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage
A. What is the source of e-waste B. E-waste—a serious problem
C. E-waste—a processing industry D. What to do with your e-waste

When Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her bike to Jamaicia Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. Bingo!
A mile into her walk, she spotted a beautiful female mute swan (疣鼻天鹅) near the water’s edge. Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that mute swans can be battle some. But as she approached this one, it didn’t move. She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas placed her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought struck her: What do I do now
Her best bet was the recovery center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way Luckily, some strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. She worried others might be disturbed. However, on the subway, no one seemed particularly fazed by the feathered passenger. One guy, says Cordova-Rojas, was “sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him”.
Cordova-Rojas called the recovery center, and Tristan Higgin-botham, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove bird, bike, and the rescuer to the facility. There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning.
The staff got the swan back up on her feet. She even made a boyfriend at the center — another injured swan. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care, the swan fell ill with a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova-Roias came to her rescue, she passed away.
It’s a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city-literally. In all, Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway (with her bike). “That’s the perfect summary of who she is,” says Higginbotham.
4. How did Cordova-Rojas know the swan was in trouble
A. She noticed a scar on the swan.
B. She found the swan trapped in water.
C. The swan was behaving in an abnormal way.
D. The swan attacked her when she came near it.
5. What does the underlined word “fazed“ in paragraph 3 mean
A. On top of the world. B. In the wrong.
C. On the rocks. D. At a loss.
6. How was the swan’s life at the recovery center
A. The swan suffered a lot of pain there.
B. The swan enjoyed its staying there.
C. The swan’s life there was totally disappointing.
D. Many people came to visit the swan,
7. What sort of person was Cordova-Rojas
A. Curious and generous. B. Caring and thoughtful.
C. Energetic and independent. D. Sensible and straight-forward.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了30岁的科尔多瓦·罗哈斯在徒步旅行偶遇一只遇到麻烦的疣鼻天鹅，并对其实施救助的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that mute swans can be battle some. But as she approached this one, it didn’t move. She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. (30岁的科尔多瓦·罗哈斯曾在曼哈顿的野生鸟类基金恢复中心工作，她知道疣鼻天鹅好斗。但当她走近这只时，它没有动。她确信这只鸟需要治疗)” 可知，疣鼻天鹅本性好斗，但是当科尔多瓦·罗哈斯靠近这只天鹅时，它没有动。正是它的反常行为让科尔多瓦·罗哈斯知道天鹅遇到麻烦。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“She worried others might be disturbed.(她担心其他人会被打扰)”和划线词所在句“However, on the subway, no one seemed particularly fazed by the feathered passenger.(然而，在地铁上，似乎没有人特别fazed这位长着羽毛的乘客)”中However可推知，她担心的事情并未发生，没人觉得天鹅乘地铁有什么不妥，没有人觉得“困惑不解”。结合选项，划线词与“at a loss”意思相近。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The staff got the swan back up on her feet. She even made a boyfriend at the center —another injured swan. (工作人员让天鹅站了起来。她甚至在中心交了一个男朋友——另一只受伤的天鹅)”可推知，天鹅喜欢在康复中心的生活。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段中“She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas placed her jacket over the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms.(她确信这只鸟需要治疗。科尔多瓦-罗哈斯把她的夹克盖在鸟的头上，让它保持冷静，然后小心地把它捡起来，抱在怀里)”和最后一段中“Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway (with her bike) (科尔多瓦·罗哈斯步行、开车、坐地铁(骑自行车)两个小时)”可知，主人公科尔多瓦·罗哈斯富有爱心，而且细心周到。故选B项。
