一、阅读理解
Last week, four speakers shared, at the Skoll World Forum, why they find themselves smiling in spite of everything.
Ava Duvernay
I don’t believe that all of the problems are happening to us. I believe they’re happening for us. Lonnie Holley is a wonderful artist who uses waste material to create artworks. He says we shouldn’t think of it as garbage. Rather, it can be turned into something new.
Mahali Hlasa
I love my family. I was brought up in a very close family. Of course we fight, but we also laugh together. We share all the joys and the pains and find comfort in that. When I want to be happy, my family is always there for me. With these people who I love, I know that I am safe.
Rodrigo Paris Rojas
I find optimism in villages and slums (贫民窟). That’s because despite the difficult environment around them, they still come together and celebrate at different times of year. They bring so many smiles and so much joy. When I see that, I say, “I have more money and more education than them, but they’re way happier than me. ”So I find optimism in those ways of celebrating life and building community.
Edgard Gouveia Jr.
I’ve found optimism among kids — Black, white, poor, rich. They play. They enjoy life. They connect. It’s only later that they learn about differences and start to behave differently. But when I see how they interact as children, it’s all about playfulness. Even during war times or in very poor neighborhoods, I see kids finding ways to create joy among themselves.
1．What is Lonnie Holley
A. An artist. B. A consultant. C. A teacher. D. A waste collector.
2．What did Mahali Hlasa stress in the speech at the Skoll World Forum
A. Charity and voluntary work. B. Positive thinking and creativity.
C. Money and comfortable life. D. Family life and close relationship.
3．What did Edgard Gouveia Jr. most likely mean
A. Don’t send children to schools.
B. Try to grow up as slowly as possible.
C. Being playful is still important in adult life.
D. It is necessary to help kids affected by wars.
Moments ago, a seal was resting on a piece of floating ice deep in an Antarctic channel. Then three hungry killer whales appeared. When the seal noticed them, it was already surrounded.
On this sheet of sea ice, the nearly thousand-pound sea l would be unreachable for most of his enemies in nature. But these killer whales had mastered a hunting technique called wave washing: working together to turn water into a weapon.
Having identified their target, the killer whales formed a battle line and started rushing toward the ice. Just before reaching it, they rolled to their sides in a single, synchronized (同步的) motion. The wave they created was so powerful that it flooded the ice sheet and washed the frightened seal close to the edge of the ice sheet. Slowly and methodically, they repeated the attack. At the third time, the wave sent the helpless seal flying into the sea. It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view...
“The level of intelligence that went into making each wave was staggering. They solved the problem with very complex teamwork. They used water as a tool,” said wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, who had spent a decade tracking those killer whales, known as Bls. “I rarely saw failed hunts. This behavior was not what they were born with. It was learned and mastered over decades. Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting. It was terrifying to watch.”
But as Antarctica warms and sea ice disappears, seals are increasingly staying on land, out of killer whales’ reach.
“I’ve found Bls are losing about 5 percent of their population every year. Whether this subgroup will go extinct or just adapt their behavior, I don’t know,” said Gregory. “But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture.”
4．How did the killer whales get the seal on the ice sheet
A. By making huge waves. B. By jumping onto the ice sheet.
C. By destroying the ice sheet. D. By waiting underwater patiently.
5．Which of the following best explains “staggering” underlined in paragraph 4
A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Satisfying. D. Annoying.
6．What is Bertie Gregory most worried about
A. The seals and killer whales. B. The rising sea level.
C. The loss of a hunting skill. D. The disappeared ice sheet.
7．What can be inferred about the wave washing behavior
A. It is a natural behavior with whales.
B. Usually, the smartest whales can learn it.
C. It can be carried out by one whale alone.
D. Perhaps, it is only mastered by certain groups.
In China, tea has become an important part of everyday life for thousands of years. As the tea-processing methods and tea culture have evolved over the years, tea sets have also changed to meet the practical and cultural needs.
During the Tang Dynasty(618~907AD), tea leaves were traded across the country and Asia. For the convenience of transportation and storage, tea leaves were pressed into bricks. To prepare tea, drinkers had to cut them into small pieces and boil them in heat-resistant teapots.
By the Song Dynasty(960-1279), drinkers started to turn the hard bricks into powders (粉末) that could be whipped (搅打) in a cup with boiled water. This whipped tea is most commonly associated with Japanese tea ceremonies today.
By the 1500s, tea bricks gave way to the form of rolled leaves. This innovation led to the invention and use of teapots as we know them today. These teapots originally came from the Yi Xing region of China and were soon copied throughout the world. Then Japanese teapot-makers moved the handle from the side to the top of the teapots.
Tea finally reached Europe in the 1600s, along with the necessary tea sets made in Japan and China. As English teapot-makers began to adapt the tea sets to their country men’s tastes, they eventually added a handle to the tea bowl because of the English habit of drinking hot black tea, which was consumed at higher temperatures. The size of teacups also grew to accommodate milk and sugar in their tea.
By the early 1900s, innovations in tea drinking became an American affair. The most revolutionary one was the tea bag, which was accidentally commercialized by Thomas Sullivan. He had been sending customers tea wrapped in silk bags. Rather than take the leaves out of the bags, as Sullivan intended, the customers put the bags into their teapots instead. Not only did the tea bags push the teapot back to the sidelines of tea service, they were also too large for teacups and led to the modern practice of drinking tea from mugs.
8．Which was used to make the whipped tea in Japan
A. Rolled tea leaves. B. Freshly picked tea leaves.
C. Powdered tea leaves. D. Loosely pressed tea leaves.
9．Which innovation was first introduced by the British
A. Tea bags and mugs. B. Tea bowls with handles.
C. Heat-resistant teapots. D. Teapots with top handles.
10．What can we learn from Thomas Sullivan’s story
A. Customers are very creative. B. Innovations are relatively easy.
C. Marketing strategy is critical. D. Good ideas can be born by accident.
11．What is the best title for the text
A. The Development of Tea Sets B. Varieties of Tea Leaves
C. Various Tea-making Methods D. The Spread of Tea Trades
In recent years, it seems that we are slowly coming to understand that animals like elephants, monkeys and pigs have not just brains, but complicated inner and social lives thanks to scientific advances in our understanding of animal minds. Yet that awareness hasn’t made itself felt to much greater degree in our closest relationship with animals: at the dinner table.
With Personalities on the Plate, Barbara King asks us to think hard about our meat eating and how we might reduce it. King does not criticize. Instead, she takes us chapter by chapter on a cook’s tour of animals we humans eat, from insects to pigs and dogs, while exploring the latest scientific discoveries about their intelligence and feelings that we humans often wrongly claim uniquely for ourselves.
Built on a mix of firsthand experience and close engagement with the work of scientists, farmers and chefs, Personalities on the Plate has successfully built a case for them as beings that deserve more than a trip down our stomachs. With humor and tales of animals acting as individuals expressing their emotions, Personalities on the Plate takes us on an unforgettable journey through the world of animals we eat.
“This thoughtful book is not about whether we ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ eat meat. Barbara King looks at the range of values and consequences surrounding farming and feasting, and at who we are considering eating,” says Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel. “Her book gives me a richer understanding. Her method and passion are effective. I ended the book agreeing that I can — and should — help these creatures and our environment by choosing to eat fewer of them or none at all.”
12．What does the author suggest in the first paragraph
A. Lots of people plan to stop eating meat.
B. Meat consumption should be increased.
C. Scientists should do more to protect animals.
D. Our diet is hardly influenced by our knowledge.
13．What can we know about Personalities on the Plate
A. It openly opposes meat eating. B. It is written by scientists and chefs.
C. It includes humorous and vivid stories. D. It denies animals’ intelligence and feelings.
14．What does Carl Safina say about King’s book
A. Its method is too subjective. B. Its conclusion is convincing.
C. The book is tightly organized. D. The evidences are contradictory.
15．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To review a book. B. To recommend an author.
C. To promote a diet. D. To advocate animals’ rights.

六、读后续写
34．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 had ordered many gifts online for the upcoming Christmas. One day,when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages arrived. I opened the door,but only to find a beautiful little dog sitting on the floor. It looked up at me with her big,cute eyes. I looked around, but there was no one in sight. It was obvious that someone had found the puppy somewhere and intentionally left her outside the door.
The lovely dog was a timely Christmas gift for me,indeed. The year marked a turning point in my life. In September,my husband was offered a new job in Africa. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer journalist,I decided to relocate with him. While my husband was busy with his work,I didn’t know what to do anyway. I felt isolated,homesick and lacking purpose. We lived in a house near a river that cut across an expansive grassland. With few people around,I would take my camera and wander around,photographing aimlessly every day.
So we adopted the abandoned dog. My husband called her“our little angel”and I named it accordingly. Angel seemed to be very happy with us and she turned out to be a perfect companion for me. Always by my side,she enjoyed exploring the shady bushes and mysterious tunnels all over the grassland. Encouraged by her curiosity,I decided to explore,too.
There was a deep cave near our house and I had been eager to explore it. The only way in was narrow and slippery. I had promised my husband that I wouldn’t do it unless he was around. But he was always busy. With Angel as my companion,I figured that it was time to stretch the rule a little bit.
One day, I equipped myself with a good flashlight and carefully walked down the dark cave. Suddenly, Angel,who had been following me closely,rushed ahead and disappeared into the darkness.

Dear Li Hua,
I’m David, one of the foreign students from the United Kingdom. On hearing that we are organizing more after-school sports activities, I’d like to recommend football.
Football is very popular among us and it will definitely appeal to a lot of students. In addition, it can help us keep physically and mentally fit. Most important of all, it requires us to work together as a team, which promotes sportsmanship like fair play and discipline among team members.
In short, football will not only improve our health, but also have a lasting influence on our life. I hope my suggestion will be considered.
Best regards!
Yours faithfully,
David

34．答案： A few seconds later, it brought back a little bird. I tried to free the bird from its teeth. But it was too late. When I got it out, one of its wings was seriously injured and its eyes were tightly shut. The sight was heart breaking. I returned home immediately and cautiously placed it in a cardboard box with towels to keep it warm. With my constant care, the little bird seemed to be recovering fast and was regaining energy.
During the recovering process, I took many photographs of the little bird. I emailed some of the best ones to my former colleagues. To my surprise, they replied a few days later, saying that it was one of endangered species. They encouraged me to restart my career as a wildlife photographer and introduce the wonderful animals on this wonderful land to the world. Immediately, I found back my life and no longer felt isolated, or homesick. Thank you, my Angel!

一、阅读理解
Last week, four speakers shared, at the Skoll World Forum, why they find themselves smiling in spite of everything.
Ava Duvernay
I don’t believe that all of the problems are happening to us. I believe they’re happening for us. Lonnie Holley is a wonderful artist who uses waste material to create artworks. He says we shouldn’t think of it as garbage. Rather, it can be turned into something new.
Mahali Hlasa
I love my family. I was brought up in a very close family. Of course we fight, but we also laugh together. We share all the joys and the pains and find comfort in that. When I want to be happy, my family is always there for me. With these people who I love, I know that I am safe.
Rodrigo Paris Rojas
I find optimism in villages and slums (贫民窟). That’s because despite the difficult environment around them, they still come together and celebrate at different times of year. They bring so many smiles and so much joy. When I see that, I say, “I have more money and more education than them, but they’re way happier than me. ”So I find optimism in those ways of celebrating life and building community.
Edgard Gouveia Jr.
I’ve found optimism among kids — Black, white, poor, rich. They play. They enjoy life. They connect. It’s only later that they learn about differences and start to behave differently. But when I see how they interact as children, it’s all about playfulness. Even during war times or in very poor neighborhoods, I see kids finding ways to create joy among themselves.
1．What is Lonnie Holley
A. An artist. B. A consultant. C. A teacher. D. A waste collector.
2．What did Mahali Hlasa stress in the speech at the Skoll World Forum
A. Charity and voluntary work. B. Positive thinking and creativity.
C. Money and comfortable life. D. Family life and close relationship.
3．What did Edgard Gouveia Jr. most likely mean
A. Don’t send children to schools.
B. Try to grow up as slowly as possible.
C. Being playful is still important in adult life.
D. It is necessary to help kids affected by wars.
Moments ago, a seal was resting on a piece of floating ice deep in an Antarctic channel. Then three hungry killer whales appeared. When the seal noticed them, it was already surrounded.
On this sheet of sea ice, the nearly thousand-pound sea l would be unreachable for most of his enemies in nature. But these killer whales had mastered a hunting technique called wave washing: working together to turn water into a weapon.
Having identified their target, the killer whales formed a battle line and started rushing toward the ice. Just before reaching it, they rolled to their sides in a single, synchronized (同步的) motion. The wave they created was so powerful that it flooded the ice sheet and washed the frightened seal close to the edge of the ice sheet. Slowly and methodically, they repeated the attack. At the third time, the wave sent the helpless seal flying into the sea. It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view...
“The level of intelligence that went into making each wave was staggering. They solved the problem with very complex teamwork. They used water as a tool,” said wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, who had spent a decade tracking those killer whales, known as Bls. “I rarely saw failed hunts. This behavior was not what they were born with. It was learned and mastered over decades. Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting. It was terrifying to watch.”
But as Antarctica warms and sea ice disappears, seals are increasingly staying on land, out of killer whales’ reach.
“I’ve found Bls are losing about 5 percent of their population every year. Whether this subgroup will go extinct or just adapt their behavior, I don’t know,” said Gregory. “But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture.”
4．How did the killer whales get the seal on the ice sheet
A. By making huge waves. B. By jumping onto the ice sheet.
C. By destroying the ice sheet. D. By waiting underwater patiently.
5．Which of the following best explains “staggering” underlined in paragraph 4
A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Satisfying. D. Annoying.
6．What is Bertie Gregory most worried about
A. The seals and killer whales. B. The rising sea level.
C. The loss of a hunting skill. D. The disappeared ice sheet.
7．What can be inferred about the wave washing behavior
A. It is a natural behavior with whales.
B. Usually, the smartest whales can learn it.
C. It can be carried out by one whale alone.
D. Perhaps, it is only mastered by certain groups.
In China, tea has become an important part of everyday life for thousands of years. As the tea-processing methods and tea culture have evolved over the years, tea sets have also changed to meet the practical and cultural needs.
During the Tang Dynasty(618~907AD), tea leaves were traded across the country and Asia. For the convenience of transportation and storage, tea leaves were pressed into bricks. To prepare tea, drinkers had to cut them into small pieces and boil them in heat-resistant teapots.
By the Song Dynasty(960-1279), drinkers started to turn the hard bricks into powders (粉末) that could be whipped (搅打) in a cup with boiled water. This whipped tea is most commonly associated with Japanese tea ceremonies today.
By the 1500s, tea bricks gave way to the form of rolled leaves. This innovation led to the invention and use of teapots as we know them today. These teapots originally came from the Yi Xing region of China and were soon copied throughout the world. Then Japanese teapot-makers moved the handle from the side to the top of the teapots.
Tea finally reached Europe in the 1600s, along with the necessary tea sets made in Japan and China. As English teapot-makers began to adapt the tea sets to their country men’s tastes, they eventually added a handle to the tea bowl because of the English habit of drinking hot black tea, which was consumed at higher temperatures. The size of teacups also grew to accommodate milk and sugar in their tea.
By the early 1900s, innovations in tea drinking became an American affair. The most revolutionary one was the tea bag, which was accidentally commercialized by Thomas Sullivan. He had been sending customers tea wrapped in silk bags. Rather than take the leaves out of the bags, as Sullivan intended, the customers put the bags into their teapots instead. Not only did the tea bags push the teapot back to the sidelines of tea service, they were also too large for teacups and led to the modern practice of drinking tea from mugs.
8．Which was used to make the whipped tea in Japan
A. Rolled tea leaves. B. Freshly picked tea leaves.
C. Powdered tea leaves. D. Loosely pressed tea leaves.
9．Which innovation was first introduced by the British
A. Tea bags and mugs. B. Tea bowls with handles.
C. Heat-resistant teapots. D. Teapots with top handles.
10．What can we learn from Thomas Sullivan’s story
A. Customers are very creative. B. Innovations are relatively easy.
C. Marketing strategy is critical. D. Good ideas can be born by accident.
11．What is the best title for the text
A. The Development of Tea Sets B. Varieties of Tea Leaves
C. Various Tea-making Methods D. The Spread of Tea Trades
In recent years, it seems that we are slowly coming to understand that animals like elephants, monkeys and pigs have not just brains, but complicated inner and social lives thanks to scientific advances in our understanding of animal minds. Yet that awareness hasn’t made itself felt to much greater degree in our closest relationship with animals: at the dinner table.
With Personalities on the Plate, Barbara King asks us to think hard about our meat eating and how we might reduce it. King does not criticize. Instead, she takes us chapter by chapter on a cook’s tour of animals we humans eat, from insects to pigs and dogs, while exploring the latest scientific discoveries about their intelligence and feelings that we humans often wrongly claim uniquely for ourselves.
Built on a mix of firsthand experience and close engagement with the work of scientists, farmers and chefs, Personalities on the Plate has successfully built a case for them as beings that deserve more than a trip down our stomachs. With humor and tales of animals acting as individuals expressing their emotions, Personalities on the Plate takes us on an unforgettable journey through the world of animals we eat.
“This thoughtful book is not about whether we ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ eat meat. Barbara King looks at the range of values and consequences surrounding farming and feasting, and at who we are considering eating,” says Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel. “Her book gives me a richer understanding. Her method and passion are effective. I ended the book agreeing that I can — and should — help these creatures and our environment by choosing to eat fewer of them or none at all.”
12．What does the author suggest in the first paragraph
A. Lots of people plan to stop eating meat.
B. Meat consumption should be increased.
C. Scientists should do more to protect animals.
D. Our diet is hardly influenced by our knowledge.
13．What can we know about Personalities on the Plate
A. It openly opposes meat eating. B. It is written by scientists and chefs.
C. It includes humorous and vivid stories. D. It denies animals’ intelligence and feelings.
14．What does Carl Safina say about King’s book
A. Its method is too subjective. B. Its conclusion is convincing.
C. The book is tightly organized. D. The evidences are contradictory.
15．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To review a book. B. To recommend an author.
C. To promote a diet. D. To advocate animals’ rights.

34．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 had ordered many gifts online for the upcoming Christmas. One day,when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages arrived. I opened the door,but only to find a beautiful little dog sitting on the floor. It looked up at me with her big,cute eyes. I looked around, but there was no one in sight. It was obvious that someone had found the puppy somewhere and intentionally left her outside the door.
The lovely dog was a timely Christmas gift for me,indeed. The year marked a turning point in my life. In September,my husband was offered a new job in Africa. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer journalist,I decided to relocate with him. While my husband was busy with his work,I didn’t know what to do anyway. I felt isolated,homesick and lacking purpose. We lived in a house near a river that cut across an expansive grassland. With few people around,I would take my camera and wander around,photographing aimlessly every day.
So we adopted the abandoned dog. My husband called her“our little angel”and I named it accordingly. Angel seemed to be very happy with us and she turned out to be a perfect companion for me. Always by my side,she enjoyed exploring the shady bushes and mysterious tunnels all over the grassland. Encouraged by her curiosity,I decided to explore,too.
There was a deep cave near our house and I had been eager to explore it. The only way in was narrow and slippery. I had promised my husband that I wouldn’t do it unless he was around. But he was always busy. With Angel as my companion,I figured that it was time to stretch the rule a little bit.
One day, I equipped myself with a good flashlight and carefully walked down the dark cave. Suddenly, Angel,who had been following me closely,rushed ahead and disappeared into the darkness.

33．答案：
Dear Li Hua,
I’m David, one of the foreign students from the United Kingdom. On hearing that we are organizing more after-school sports activities, I’d like to recommend football.
Football is very popular among us and it will definitely appeal to a lot of students. In addition, it can help us keep physically and mentally fit. Most important of all, it requires us to work together as a team, which promotes sportsmanship like fair play and discipline among team members.
In short, football will not only improve our health, but also have a lasting influence on our life. I hope my suggestion will be considered.
Best regards!
Yours faithfully,
David

34．答案： A few seconds later, it brought back a little bird. I tried to free the bird from its teeth. But it was too late. When I got it out, one of its wings was seriously injured and its eyes were tightly shut. The sight was heart breaking. I returned home immediately and cautiously placed it in a cardboard box with towels to keep it warm. With my constant care, the little bird seemed to be recovering fast and was regaining energy.
During the recovering process, I took many photographs of the little bird. I emailed some of the best ones to my former colleagues. To my surprise, they replied a few days later, saying that it was one of endangered species. They encouraged me to restart my career as a wildlife photographer and introduce the wonderful animals on this wonderful land to the world. Immediately, I found back my life and no longer felt isolated, or homesick. Thank you, my Angel!
