Along the Ulungur River (乌伦古河) in Altay (阿尔泰山), the northernmost area of Xinjiang, lives a species of beaver (河狸). This animal, which feeds on the shrubs (灌木) that grow near the river, has a strong sense of territory (领地) and won't leave its surroundings easily. So if people ruin the river, the beavers' homes will be destroyed and they will no longer survive. But fortunately for these picky (挑剔的) animals, they have a responsible protector, Beaver Princess, Chu Wenwen.
Chu had a very different childhood. She was introduced to the wild at the age of 2 by her father who is an animal conservationist (环保主义者). So when the other children were reciting ancient Chinese poems and English alphabet (字母卡), Chu was working hard to remember the names of different animals and plants. So instead of being a white-collar worker after graduating from Beijing Forestry University (北京林业大学), Chu decided to return home and follow in her father's footsteps.
In Chu's hometown of Altay, there are 466 species of wild animals and 74 state-protected ones living in the surrounding 110, 000 square kilometers. In 2018, Chu founded the Altay Natural Conservation Association which is aimed at animal protection.
The first public project Chu started was for beavers. "We took the beavers as a priority（优先) because they were greatly endangered at that time," Chu said. "The beavers, which can build dams（大坝), are known as 'engineers' in the animal kingdom. Their dams can change water levels, gather fish, attract birds to nest and bring insects," Chu explained.
Chu developed the "Beavers Canteen" program which calls on people to donate to help plant a species of shrub that is an important food resource for the beavers. The shrub is also the building material of the beavers. The clever animal makes full use of it.
4．What can we know about beavers
A. They feed on shrubs and fish.
B. They abandon their homes easily.
C. They are good at finding new territory.
D. They are particular about their surroundings.
5．What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Chu had a difficult childhood.
B. Chu dreamed of being a white-collar worker.
C. Chu could identify different plants and animals.
D. Chu preferred reciting poems to English words.
6．Why did Chu start the first public project for beavers
A. Chu likes beavers most. B. Beavers can build dams.
C. Chu took her father's advice. D. Beavers will probably go extinct soon.
7．What's the best title of the text
A. Beaver Princess B. Beaver Projects
C. How to Protect Beavers？ D. How to Improve Environment
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to vanquish Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two "Irelands". Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Though many people still follow the routine nowadays, more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were "the greatest talkers since the Greeks". Since independence, Ireland has revived its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
8．What does the underlined word "vanquish" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Conquer. B. Ruin. C. Protect. D. Free.
9．Why did the population of Ireland once decrease greatly
A. The Irish were killed by the English rulers.
B. The Irish were affected by a deadly disease.
C. The Irish were not eager to give birth to babies.
D. The Irish suffered from food and work shortage.
10．How did most Irish people make their living
A. By working in the fields. B. By working in factories.
C. By trading with other countries. D. By performing musical instruments.
11．What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Life in Ireland B. Ireland, Past and Present
C. A Very Difficult History D. The Independence of Ireland
Most online fraud (诈骗)involves identity theft passwords help. But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics(行为生物识别)is gaining ground.
It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today's devices(设备).These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored(监测) to show the unique ways in which someone's fingers and hands move. These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a deal is likely to be the device's habitual user.
"Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual's unique motion fingerprint," says John Whaley, head of Unifyid, a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field. When coupled with information about a user's finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device's regular places of use—as revealed by its GPS unit-that user's identity can be pretty well determined.
Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit. In fact, Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once the pace of the driver, as measured by his phone, is recognized. Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people's privacy, permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night.
12．What is behavioural biometrics for
A.To identify network crime. B.To ensure network security.
C.To track online fraud. D.To gather online data.
13．How does behavioural biometrics work
A.By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices.
B.By spotting and revealing a device's regular places of use.
C.By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users.
D.By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices.
14．What's the author's attitude towards behavioural biometrics
A.Objective. B.Concerned. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.
15．From which section of a magazine can this text possibly be taken
A.Health and wealth. B.Books and arts.
C.Science and technology. D.Finance and economics.

解析：
34．答案： I was puzzled because my daughter's new friend looked so familiar. But I was sure that I had never met Jo before. She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles，which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles，either.
Two hours passed really quickly，and there was a knock on the door. It was Jo's mom coming to pick her up later that afternoon. On seeing her face，I was shocked. "Judy!" she cried. "It's me，Susan!"

Along the Ulungur River (乌伦古河) in Altay (阿尔泰山), the northernmost area of Xinjiang, lives a species of beaver (河狸). This animal, which feeds on the shrubs (灌木) that grow near the river, has a strong sense of territory (领地) and won't leave its surroundings easily. So if people ruin the river, the beavers' homes will be destroyed and they will no longer survive. But fortunately for these picky (挑剔的) animals, they have a responsible protector, Beaver Princess, Chu Wenwen.
Chu had a very different childhood. She was introduced to the wild at the age of 2 by her father who is an animal conservationist (环保主义者). So when the other children were reciting ancient Chinese poems and English alphabet (字母卡), Chu was working hard to remember the names of different animals and plants. So instead of being a white-collar worker after graduating from Beijing Forestry University (北京林业大学), Chu decided to return home and follow in her father's footsteps.
In Chu's hometown of Altay, there are 466 species of wild animals and 74 state-protected ones living in the surrounding 110, 000 square kilometers. In 2018, Chu founded the Altay Natural Conservation Association which is aimed at animal protection.
The first public project Chu started was for beavers. "We took the beavers as a priority（优先) because they were greatly endangered at that time," Chu said. "The beavers, which can build dams（大坝), are known as 'engineers' in the animal kingdom. Their dams can change water levels, gather fish, attract birds to nest and bring insects," Chu explained.
Chu developed the "Beavers Canteen" program which calls on people to donate to help plant a species of shrub that is an important food resource for the beavers. The shrub is also the building material of the beavers. The clever animal makes full use of it.
4．What can we know about beavers
A. They feed on shrubs and fish.
B. They abandon their homes easily.
C. They are good at finding new territory.
D. They are particular about their surroundings.

D. Chu preferred reciting poems to English words.
6．Why did Chu start the first public project for beavers

C. Chu took her father's advice. D. Beavers will probably go extinct soon.
7．What's the best title of the text
A. Beaver Princess B. Beaver Projects
C. How to Protect Beavers？ D. How to Improve Environment
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to vanquish Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two "Irelands". Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Though many people still follow the routine nowadays, more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were "the greatest talkers since the Greeks". Since independence, Ireland has revived its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
8．What does the underlined word "vanquish" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Conquer. B. Ruin. C. Protect. D. Free.
9．Why did the population of Ireland once decrease greatly
A. The Irish were killed by the English rulers.
B. The Irish were affected by a deadly disease.
C. The Irish were not eager to give birth to babies.
D. The Irish suffered from food and work shortage.
10．How did most Irish people make their living
A. By working in the fields. B. By working in factories.
C. By trading with other countries. D. By performing musical instruments.
11．What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Life in Ireland B. Ireland, Past and Present
C. A Very Difficult History D. The Independence of Ireland
Most online fraud (诈骗)involves identity theft passwords help. But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics(行为生物识别)is gaining ground.
It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today's devices(设备).These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored(监测) to show the unique ways in which someone's fingers and hands move. These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a deal is likely to be the device's habitual user.
"Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual's unique motion fingerprint," says John Whaley, head of Unifyid, a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field. When coupled with information about a user's finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device's regular places of use—as revealed by its GPS unit-that user's identity can be pretty well determined.
Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit. In fact, Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once the pace of the driver, as measured by his phone, is recognized. Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people's privacy, permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night.
12．What is behavioural biometrics for
A.To identify network crime. B.To ensure network security.
C.To track online fraud. D.To gather online data.
13．How does behavioural biometrics work
A.By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices.
B.By spotting and revealing a device's regular places of use.
C.By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users.
D.By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices.
14．What's the author's attitude towards behavioural biometrics
A.Objective. B.Concerned. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.
15．From which section of a magazine can this text possibly be taken
A.Health and wealth. B.Books and arts.
C.Science and technology. D.Finance and economics.

When you have become a more serious runner，you can also get a fitness smartwatch or device to track your heart rate，progress and other running statistics in more details. （有许多免费的健身和跑步应用程序可以追踪你的速度、距离、时间和消耗的卡路里。当你已经成为一个更认真的跑步者，你也可以得到一个健身智能手表或设备，跟踪你的心率，进度和其他跑步统计的更多细节。）可知，本段主要介绍慢跑可以借助一些科技，所以A项"Make use of technology. （利用科技。）"符合，故选A。

32．答案：①a②used③problems④to communicate⑤to⑥which⑦making⑧talked⑨their⑩eventually
解析：①考查冠词。句意：当我要加入汤姆逊河大学时，我害怕了，因为我远离我的国家，有完全不同的文化和新的人。culture"文化"前有形容词new修饰，为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指，且new是以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
②考查形容词。句意：我变得很紧张，因为我没有习惯住在一个全新的地方的经验。get used to"习惯于"为固定用法，表示"习惯于"，符合句意。故填used。
③考查可数名词复数。句意：抵达加拿大后，我开始面临很多问题。problem"问题"为可数名词，a lot of修饰可数名词复数形式。故填problems。
④考查动词不定式。句意：我不能很容易地与人交流，因为我不熟悉这里的口音。be able to do sth为固定用法，意为"能够做某事"。故填to communicate。
⑤考查介词。句意：我不能很容易地与人交流，因为我不熟悉这里的口音。sth be familiar to sb为固定短语，意为"某事为某人所熟悉"，符合句意。故填to。
⑥考查定语从句。句意：因为加拿大的第一语言是英语，他们有一种自然的口音，听起来就像鸟儿在唱动听的歌。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词accent指物，在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
⑦考查动名词。句意：此外，我害怕犯错误。of为介词，后面需加动名词作宾语。故填making。
⑧考查动词时态。句意：当我第一次来到这所大学，我遇到了国内外的学生，并和他们谈论我的文化。空处和met up with为并列谓语，需用一般过去时。故填talked。
⑨考查代词。句意：我还收集了关于他们的文化和传统的信息。空处修饰名词短语cultures and traditions，应用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
⑩考查副词。句意：我想我最终会适应新的生活。空处修饰动词短语adapt to，需用副词eventually作状语。故填eventually。

A Person I Admire Most
Of all the people I know, Li Li is the one I admire most, who always wears a bright smile on her face.
As a monitor, LiLi keeps a good balance between study and helping the teachers. She also takes great interest in science and has made several achievements. What impresses me most is her kindness and willingness to help those in trouble. I clearly remember that one day one of my classmates got injured in class and LiLi took her to hospital without any hesitation.
Such is the person I admire most, a kind and warm-hearted girl. How lucky I feel to know such a devoted and capable person!

34．答案： I was puzzled because my daughter's new friend looked so familiar. But I was sure that I had never met Jo before. She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles，which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles，either.
Two hours passed really quickly，and there was a knock on the door. It was Jo's mom coming to pick her up later that afternoon. On seeing her face，I was shocked. "Judy!" she cried. "It's me，Susan!" We embraced each other. It turned out that her father's company sent his father to Los Angeles before they settled in Florida. She tried calling me later but we had moved. The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story，with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.
解析：【高分句型一】I convinced myself that it was only my imagination. The two girls got on very well and they giggled from time to time. I watched them play and felt so happy for my daughter from the bottom of my heart. （作者对于觉得Jo面熟的困惑，以及看到Jo和Jane两个女孩相处得很好，作者从心底里为女儿感到高兴）
【高分句型二】（Jo的妈妈来接Jo，作者发现正是Susan，Susan曾经联系过作者，但作者一家已经搬走了。两个小女孩也很为他们高兴，Susan和作者都流下了快乐的泪水）
解析：本文为记叙文，作者的女儿Jane想要邀请自己的朋友来家里，这让作者想起了自己童年时的好朋友Susan，回忆了当初和Susan相处的事情，后来因为作者搬家就没能再和Susan见面。第二天Jane把新朋友带回家，小女孩说自己叫Jo，她妈妈两个小时后来接她。
【高分句型三】：She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles，which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles，either.
译文：她告诉我，她的家人刚从洛杉矶搬来，这让我更加困惑，因为我从未去过洛杉矶，我们也没有亲戚住在洛杉矶。
【高分句型四】：The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story，with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.
译文：在我们讲述我们的故事之前，两个小女孩很高兴看到她们的母亲立刻成为好朋友，高兴的泪水顺着我们的脸颊流下来。
