Robbie Gay is a young boy with a kind heart. He had a horrible start to life, hospitalized twice with brain injuries before entering the foster(寄养) care system. When he was finally adopted by his parents, he was so hurt by his experiences that he was unable to cry.
However, he found therapy(治疗)in a most unlikely place—his local animal shelter. There he took comfort in caring for the older dogs who’d been left behind. “People don’t want older dogs. They only want puppies, “Robbie explained. His ability to empathize(移情)with the older dogs obviously comes from his own shocking experience, as his mom shared, “He knows what it’s like not to be loved and cared for.”
Now in a safe and loving home, he’s able to open his heart completely to these unfortunate dogs and practice compassion. It was this kindness that led him to find his tears again when one of his foster dogs died.
One of the difficulties in caring for the older dogs is that many don’t stay alive for long. But Robbie insists on staying with them right up until they pass away, as he quite rightly says, “I don’t think of when they’re going, I think of how they feel right now.”
Robbie is unusual in that he not only wants to care for aging dogs he also hopes to foster children when he grows up. He truly shows compassion and understanding, even if it leaves him heartbroken when his four-legged friends depart too soon. Hopefully, Robbie will continue to care for others, through his beautiful heart, continue to heal and feel loved with his wonderful furry family and the human one!
24. What made Robbie care for older dogs in his local animal shelter
A. His childhood dream. B. His studying background.
C. His early experience. D. His family’s encouragement.

26. What does Robbie care most while looking after the old dogs

Todmorden is an ordinary town in England. In less than two years, it has changed the way it produces its food and the way its residents think about the pared with 18 months ago, a third more townspeople now grow their own vegetables, almost 7 in 10 now buy local produce regularly, and 15 times as many people are keeping chickens. “Our aim is to make our town completely self-sufficient in food production,” said Pam Warburst, who planned the project, Incredible Edible.
The change started 18 months ago. Nick Green, who runs a company that provides workspace for local artists took on the job of doing the planting. He chose the first land in the middle of the town and it attracted plenty of attention. “We wanted everyone to see what we were doing, so they could ask questions and finally join in.” he said.
Incredible Edible was originally funded out of the participants’ (参与者) own pockets. “We were very clear that we didn’t want to look at what grants (拨款) were available and change our projects to suit them,” said Mr. Green. “We felt that what would work was to start with the town and what it needed. We’d look for money later on.” What the project leaders found was that a lot could be achieved with small amounts of cash. And awards and grants have followed.
“The important thing about Incredible Edible is that it involves (影响) everyone in the town and it’s a grass-roots project. I honestly believe it’s a good plan for every neighborhood. What we’re doing here could easily be rolled out anywhere. It’s all about involving people, giving them ownership, letting them realize it can be fun and interesting and that the food is delicious, and giving them space to set up their own ideas and run with them.”
28. Which of the following can best describe Todmorden
A. It has an artistic atmosphere. B. It is leading a green lifestyle.
C. It produces everything it needs. D. It is famous for its beautiful scenery.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Doing the planting. B. Choosing the land.
C. Nick Green’s company. D. The workspace for artists.
30. How did Incredible Edible get financial support in the beginning
A. By raising money from the locals. B. By winning an award from a competition.
C. By collecting money from the participants. D. By applying for a grant from the government.
31. Why is Incredible Edible so important
A. It helps the residents get rich. B. It provides enough food for the locals.
C. It has been achieved by ordinary people. D. It has a strong effect on reducing pollution.
D
Scientists say extreme rainfall happens more often this summer. Nick Goltz is head of the UConn Plant Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut. He said too much water can mean dead plants in a garden though water is a must for plant life.
Goltz explained that flooding cuts off the oxygen supply which leads to root-rot (根腐) diseases. And then plants cannot pull enough water to survive. The result is yellow, weakening leaves, which would usually show a plant’s need for water. But after flooding, those same signs mean that roots under water cannot function in really wet conditions.
Avoid walking on wet soil if your garden has been affected by flooding. Wait until the soil has mostly dried before looking at the damage. Adding any weight or pressure to wet soil can cause even more oxygen to be pressed out from around struggling roots. Plants weakened or stressed by flood water can more easily get diseases and unwanted insects. So keep an eye on them and treat problems as they come, which could be months later. Broken tree branches should be removed immediately. But save any major removal of leaves and branches for when conditions improve to avoid further weakening an already stressed tree.
Can flooded fruits vegetables, and other crops still be eaten Goltz said, “If the part you’re eating touches the water, then it’s probably hazardous, even if washed or cooked.” “That is because in addition to bacteria (细菌) from standing water, runoff from nearby gardens, chemicals, and other waste could be present,” Goltz added.
Flooded soil loses nutrients (营养) and can damage the way water flows through it. After dealing with your plants’ needs, turn your attention to the flooded soil and take some actions to make it repaired. Mixing in sand will improve the way water flows through it. If you live in an area that easily floods, there are steps you can take to avoid or lessen future damage, such as growing vegetables in higher areas or raised beds. Or you could direct water away from the plants you care about most.
32. What message can we get from Goltz’s words in paragraph 1
A. A rainbow comes after rain. B. Never fish in troubled water.
C. Too much of anything is good for nothing. D. Always make preparations for a rainy day.
33. Why should walking on wet soil in the garden be avoided
A. It might harden the soil. B. It might break struggling roots.
C. It will add bacteria to the roots. D. It will remove more oxygen from the plants.
34. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Unsafe. B. Special. C. Tasty. D. Juicy.
35. What are people advised to do in the last paragraph
A. Grow high crops. B. Repair the soil.
C. Protect the plants. D. Build an ecosystem.

Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from text-books. Sam was a kind-hearted person. He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
Finally, the opportunity came. On Arbor Day (植树节), his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees. Sam was excited about it and couldn’t wait to tell his mom the good news. So the next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel(铲), a bucket, gloves and so on.
On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.
As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. One team was responsible for planting the trees, one team for shovelling the soil and one team for watering the trees. At the teacher’s command, everyone started to do their job.
However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was one of them. Fortunately, their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone also became busy. Before long, they planted hundreds of trees. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. Finally, Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.

Can flooded fruits, vegetables, and other crops still be eaten Goltz said, “If the part you’re eating touches the water, then it’s probably hazardous, even if washed or cooked.” “That is because in addition to bacteria (细菌) from standing water, runoff from nearby gardens, chemicals, and other waste could be present,” Goltz added.
Flooded soil loses nutrients (营养) and can damage the way water flows through it. After dealing with your plants’ needs, turn your attention to the flooded soil and take some actions to make it repaired. Mixing in sand will improve the way water flows through it. If you live in an area that easily floods, there are steps you can take to avoid or lessen future damage, such as growing vegetables in higher areas or raised beds. Or you could direct water away from the plants you care about most.
32. What message can we get from Goltz’s words in paragraph 1
A. A rainbow comes after rain. B. Never fish in troubled water.
C. Too much of anything is good for nothing. D. Always make preparations for a rainy day.
33. Why should walking on wet soil in the garden be avoided
A. It might harden the soil. B. It might break struggling roots.
C. It will add bacteria to the roots. D. It will remove more oxygen from the plants.
34. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Unsafe. B. Special. C. Tasty. D. Juicy.
35. What are people advised to do in the last paragraph
A. Grow high crops. B. Repair the soil.
C. Protect the plants. D. Build an ecosystem.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍了夏季极端的降雨量对植物是一种伤害，会导致园圃受涝。针对这一情况，介绍了应该如何应对受涝的果木菜蔬以及土壤问题。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“He said too much water can mean dead plants in a garden though water is a must for plant life. (他说，尽管水分是植物生长所必需的，但是水分过多则会导致花园中的植物死亡) ”由此可推断，Goltz的意思是事情要适得其中，许多事情过犹不及。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Avoid walking on wet soil if your garden has been affected by flooding. Wait until the soil has mostly dried before looking at the damage. Adding any weight or pressure to wet soil can cause even more oxygen to be pressed out from around struggling roots.(如果你的园圃受到洪水的影响，避免在潮湿的土壤上行走。等到土壤基本干透后再看损坏情况。在潮湿的土壤上增加任何重量或压力都会导致更多的氧气从挣扎的根系周围被压出)”可知，如果你的园圃受到了洪水的影响，要避免在潮湿的土壤上行走，否则会导致根系周围的氧气外漏。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第四段中““That is because in addition to bacteria (细菌) from standing water, runoff from nearby gardens, chemicals, and other waste could be present,” Goltz added. (Goltz补充说：“这是因为除了来自死水的细菌外，附近花园的径流、化学物质和其他废物也可能存在。”)”可知，受涝严重的果蔬会存在来自积水的细菌，除此之外，还会受到附近园圃的径流、化学物质和其他废物等的污染，因此即便清洗干净或者煮熟，也可能是有害的。由此可推断，这里指受涝严重的果蔬是不安全的，划线词hazardous意为“危险的，有害的”，unsafe与其同义。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“After dealing with your plants’ needs, turn your attention to the flooded soil and take some actions to make it repaired. (在处理了植物的需求之后，把注意力转向被淹的土壤，并采取一些措施使其修复)”可知，作者建议人们在处理好植物的需求问题后，将注意力转移到受涝的土壤上，采取一些行动来修复土壤。故选B。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍健忘很正常及改善记忆的方法。
【36题详解】
下文“However, research has shown that there are ways to improve your memory.（然而，调查已经显示有改善你记忆的方法。）”说明健忘属于正常现象，并且有方法可以帮助改善记忆。C项“While this can be a completely normal phenomenon（但这完全属于正常现象。）”与下文“having a poor memory can be frustrating. ”（记忆力不好会让人沮丧。）构成让步关系，故选C。
【37题详解】
上文“Sleeping well helps make episodic memories stronger.（睡得好会帮助加强片段记忆。）”说明睡眠对记忆的重要作用。E项“There is evidence that sleep plays an important role in strengthening memories（有证据表明：睡眠在加强记忆上起到重要作用。）”与上文内容一致，故选E。

【39题详解】
下文“More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.（100多年前，德国科学家表明：如果人们休息，那么他们在记忆测试上的表现几乎是之前的2倍好。）”说明休息对记忆的重要性。B项“Take a break（休息）”是本段的小标题，并对下文内容概括总结，故选B。
【40题详解】
下文“US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year found there is a slower decline in recall abilities of the most sociable persons.（每隔一年，美国科学家都会请年龄在50到60岁的人做记忆检测。实验表明：大多数社交型的人在回忆能力方面有更慢的降低趋势。）”说明社交可以减缓遗忘。F项“Having an active social life delays memory loss as we age”（随着我们变老，拥有积极的社交可以延缓记忆丧失。）与下文内容一致，说明社交对记忆的重要性，故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了黄姚古镇，古镇有悠久的历史，传统习俗保存得很好，特色美食值得一尝，游客可以领会当地人的热情和地方文化。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国的古镇和村庄是建筑、生活方式和民俗方面传统得以保存的地方。分析句子可知，空处需引导定语从句，修饰先行词places，places在从句中可以作地点状语，也可以作traditions的定语，因此用关系副词where或关系代词whose。故填where/whose。
【57题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：所有这些都可以在黄姚古镇找到，黄姚古镇是广西壮族自治区访问量最大的旅游景点之一。根据句中的“one of”可知，空处需用spot的复数形式，表示“众多访问量最大的旅游景点中的一个”。故填spots。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：黄姚占地3.6平方公里，有近千年的历史，其起源可以追溯到宋代。分析句子可知，空处需用非谓语动词的形式，作状语，Huangyao和cover之间是主动关系，需用cover的现在分词形式，且空处位于句首，covering首字母需大写。故填Covering。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：黄姚占地3.6平方公里，有近千年的历史，其起源可以追溯到宋代。根据句中的“its origins dating back to the Song Dynasty”可知，此处应用with sth. doing的复合结构，表示黄姚历史拥有的起源，空处应用介词with。故填with。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：几百年来，这里的传统节日和习俗一直延续至今。空处作句子的谓语，时间状语为for hundreds of years up to now，应用现在完成时，主语People是复数，谓语动词也用复数形式。故填have carried。
【61题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：在中国农历新年期间，这里举行20多种传统表演，包括舞龙和唢呐表演。空处作句子的谓语，句子描述的是现在的规律性的事件，应用一般现在时，performances和hold之间是被动关系，需用被动语态，且performances为复数，be动词用are。故填are held。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国农历七月十四日，居民们经常来到河边，在河里放灯笼来庆祝中元节，也就是鬼节。分析句子可知，空处需用非谓语动词的形式，celebrate是put lanterns into the river的目的，需用不定式。故填to celebrate。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：黑豆经常被添加到当地的食物中，以创造出一种非常独特的味道。分析句子可知，空处修饰定语distinctive，应用extreme的副词形式extremely，表示“非常”。故填extremely。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当你来这里的时候，黄姚豆腐是一种必须尝试的当地美食，因为它只在这个镇上出售。分析句子可知，空处是泛指，表示“一种必须尝试的当地美食”，用不定冠词，must-try以辅音音素开头，用a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：由于古镇面积不大，通常需要一两天的时间来游览，但你可以多待一段时间，更多地体验当地的热情好客和文化。根据句中的“It usually takes a day or two to tour around the old town due to its small size”和“but”可知，此处有语义的转折，虽然游览古镇需要的时间不多，但是可以待久一点，空处需用副词的比较级和more of呼应，表示“更久”。故填longer。

Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from text-books. Sam was a kind-hearted person. He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
Finally, the opportunity came. On Arbor Day (植树节), his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees. Sam was excited about it and couldn’t wait to tell his mom the good news. So the next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel(铲), a bucket, gloves and so on.
On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.
As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. One team was responsible for planting the trees, one team for shovelling the soil and one team for watering the trees. At the teacher’s command, everyone started to do their job.
However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was one of them. Fortunately, their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone also became busy. Before long, they planted hundreds of trees. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. Finally, Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.

With the skills taught by his teacher, he worked with his mom to replant those trees. They helped the trees survive.
The neighbours praised Sam for what he had done. Sam told them about his experience of planting trees. But he owed all the kindnesses to his teacher and mother. He explained that because of his teacher and mother, he learned the skills and saved the trees. The neighbours were very happy to hear that.
