第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Location
St Helena is one of the remotest islands on Earth. The subtropical (亚热带的) British Overseas Territory sits in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, 1,200 miles from the west coast of Africa and 1,800 miles from the east coast of South America.
Size Population
St Helena is only 16 km long and 9 km wide and the population is 5,000. This is 1/3 the size of the Isle of Wight, and the same size as Disney World Orlando. This is also the same size as San Francisco―yet the island has just 0.5% of San Francisco’s population. With an extremely low-crime community, you can freely explore the island’s natural and built attractions in peace.
Climate
As a subtropical island, St Helena’s temperature is 15-28°C all year round. While the four seasons are not recognized on St Helena, the “cooler months” are generally June to September and the “hotter months” are December to March. St Helena is free from extreme weather events, with even thunderstorms only occurring perhaps once a decade.
Accessibility
Until 2017, St Helena did not have an airport and was only accessible by sea. Reaching the island meant a five-day ship voyage from Cape Town, South Africa. However, since October 2017, the island’s first and only airport has enabled passengers to reach the island in just a six-hour flight.
21．In what aspect are St Helena and San Francisco alike
A．Area. B．Population. C．Climate. D．Crime rate.
22．What can best describe the climate of St Helena
A．Tropical. B．Dry. C．Extreme. D．Mild.
23．How could visitors gain entry into St Helena before 2017
A．By plane. B．By ship. C．By car. D．By bike.
【答案】21．A 22．D 23．B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了圣赫勒拿岛的情况。
21．细节理解题。根据第二段中“This is also the same size as San Francisco (这也和旧金山一样大)”可知，二者共同之处是面积大小一样。故选A。
22．细节解题。根据第三段中“As a subtropical island, St Helena’s temperature is 15 -28°C all year round. (圣赫勒拿岛属亚热带岛屿，全年气温为15 -28°C。)”和“St Helena is free from extreme weather events (圣赫勒拿岛没有极端天气事件)”可知，此地气候是业热带气候，较温和。故选D。
23．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Until 2017, St Helena did not have an airport and was only accessible by sea. (直到2017年，圣赫勒拿岛还没有机场，只能通过海路到达。)”可知，2017 年以前都只能通过坐船到达该岛。故选B。
B
About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma (听神经瘤) was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric (古 怪的) singer most people dislike, but I don’t care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’ odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
24．What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness
A．He lost the ability to keep balance.
B．His acoustic neuroma regrew.
C．He underwent two operations in a row.
D．His vision was accidentally damaged.
25．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B．The author’s self-reflection on his cultural identity.
C．The different attitudes of the author’s family to him.
D．The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury.
26．How did the author find his talk with the boy
A．Reasonable. B．Engaging. C．Life-changing. D．In-depth.
27．What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music
A．Music is the universal language of mankind.
B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.
【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．B
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者神经瘤复发后，造成了脑损伤，对他影响很大，但是一次作者与一个小男孩平等地对话，改变了他的生活，让他以全新的方式看待自己。作者感悟到：苦难常常会带来新的自我发现。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear.(神经瘤的切除导致了我暂时的平衡问题和一只耳朵的永久性听力损失。)”和第二段中“Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later.(没想到几年后神经瘤又复发了。)”可知，作者单侧耳聋后，他的听神经瘤又长出来了。故选B。
25．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger.(一夜之间，我的整个身份都变了。以前我可以毫不费力地一次跳两层楼梯，但现在需要十五分钟才能挣扎。恢复旧我的尝试被证明是徒劳的。我的家庭角色也从父亲转变为受抚养的孩子，再加上我的沟通问题，这导致我的沮丧和愤怒增加。)”可知，第三段主要讲了作者的脑损伤对他影响很大。故选D。
26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.(第一次有一个陌生人像以前一样平等地和我说话。虽然当时微不足道，但它为人们以全新的方式被看待和看待自己打开了大门。)”可推知，作者认为与男孩的谈话改变了他的生活，让他以全新的方式看待自己，故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.(对我来说，脑损伤后的生活就像Waits的奇葩作品。从失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料中，可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石，它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀)”可知，作者认为Waits的音乐作品让他懂得，失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石，它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀，这说明作者意识到自己经历的疾病苦难，会让他更加闪耀，由此可推知，作者从Tom Waits的音乐中学到的教训是：苦难常常会带来新的自我发现，故选B。
C
The world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals (哺乳动物), a good night’s sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness (无知觉) during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn’t such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish’s bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.
The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is wide-reaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current, such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night’s sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world’s underwater mammals have to deal with.
To prevent themselves from drowning (溺死) in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to “turn off” one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal’s vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that’s still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.
28．What does the underlined word “slumber” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Rest. B．Sleep. C．Danger. D．Activity.
29．Why is it hard to define sleep for fish
A．Because fish remain partially awake. B．Because fish need short resting time.
C．Because fish possess no consciousness. D．Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.
30．What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals
A．Hiding in sand. B．Riding the current.
C．Finding spots to rest. D．Breathing while sleeping.
31．How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep
A．By sleeping less. B．By adapting to the sea.
C．By surfacing periodically. D．By controlling their breath.
【答案】28．B 29．A 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海洋动物不同于陆地动物的睡眠方式，鱼类保持部分警觉，眼睛睁着休息，很多动物也会减少活动达到休息的目的，而海豚、海牛等哺乳动物在水下睡觉时仅会关闭大脑的一侧，以保持呼吸。
28．词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“For mammals (哺乳动物), a good night’s sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness (无知觉) during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn’t such a well-defined process. (对于哺乳动物来说，晚上睡个好觉会让它们在恢复性睡眠的几个小时内进入无意识状态，这有助于治愈身体，并在大脑中牢固地巩固记忆。然而，对于鱼类来说，睡眠并不是一个定义明确的过程)”可知，此处是对比海洋生物和陆地上哺乳动物的睡眠情况，画线词所在句的意思应该是“水下睡眠的世界与我们在水面上看到的不同”，slumber意思应该是“睡眠”，与sleep意思相近。故选B项。
29．细节理解题。根据第一段中“For fish, however, sleep isn’t such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. (然而，对于鱼类来说，睡眠并不是一个定义明确的过程。相反，许多鱼类会在短时间内减少活动或休息，同时睁大眼睛扫视水中潜在的威胁)”可知，鱼类很难定义睡眠的原因是它们会保持部分清醒。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, it must be really hard to get a good night’s sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world’s underwater mammals have to deal with. (然而，当你呼吸空气却生活在水中时，你一定很难睡个好觉。这是世界上的水下哺乳动物不得不面对的问题)”可知，水下哺乳动物面对的挑战是在睡觉的同时进行呼吸。故选D项。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that’s still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air. (然而，作为呼吸空气的动物，海牛需要每20分钟左右浮出水面吸氧。为了达到这个目的，仍然清醒的那一半大脑会把睡着的海牛送到水面上呼吸一些空气)”可知，海牛通过定期浮出水面来证睡眠时的氧气供应。故选C项。
D
Sonia Kleindorfer was a new director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Austria. At her institute, Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose, which made Kleindorfer feel a certain amount of pressure. “I can do five, but when the next five come, I start to have a mental meltdown,” she says. So she contacted a more technically-minded colleague and asked him: Could he write a program to distinguish these faces
He said, yes, but he’d need a database of geese photos to work with. Kleindorfer got her team out there, snapping pictures of the geese from every angle. After building the database, they wrote a piece of facial recognition AI that could ID a goose, by looking at specific features of its beak (喙). After a couple of years, the team reports that their goose recognition software is now about 97% accurate.
“Geese have such drama—there are archrivals (劲敌), and jealousy and retribution (报答),” Kleindorfer says. To find out how faces figured into this drama, she presented the geese with full-sized pictures of themselves, their partners, or another member of the flock. She showed evidence that geese seemed to recognize photos of their partners and friends, but not themselves. For further study, Sonia Kleindorfer hopes birdwatchers will someday be able to snap a picture of a goose, ID it, and share its location with scientists. But she adds, just remember, her new research suggests that bird watching goes both ways: Geese can remember faces too. “If you are ever not kind to a goose,” she warns, “that goose may find you again.”
Kleindorfer thinks that facial recognition is going to play a really important role in conservation and ecology. “We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in computer science,” she says. “But working together, I think we can do this.”
32．What was the problem of Sonia Kleindorfer at work
A．She was always stressed. B．She was not able to count the geese.
C．She suffered a mental illness. D．She couldn’t recognize all the geese.
33．How does the program distinguish the geese
A．By snapping pictures of the geese. B．By presenting the full-sized pictures.
C．By identifying the beaks in the photos. D．By building the database of the geese.
34．What is the finding of the new research
A．Birdwatching is a dangerous activity.
B．Geese can locate and find human beings.
C．Geese have the ability of facial recognition.
D．Birdwatchers can snap a picture of a goose.
35．What does Kleindorfer stress in the last paragraph
A．Science training. B．Computer science.
C．Photo-taking skills. D．Cross-subject study.
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．C 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了Sonia Kleindorfer及其团队开发了一款用于鹅面部识别的人工智能工具，这个工具现在大约有97%的准确度。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At her institute, Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose, which made Kleindorfer feel a certain amount of pressure. ‘I can do five, but when the next five come, I start to have a mental meltdown,’ she says.(在她的研究所，康拉德·洛伦兹是一位著名的奥地利动物学家，他能正确地说出每一种鹅的名字，这让克兰多夫感到了一定的压力。她说:“我可以认出五种不同的鹅，但当接下来的五种接踵而来时，我的精神就开始崩溃。)”可知，Sonia Kleindorfer在工作中的问题是她不能认出所有的鹅。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After building the database, they wrote a piece of facial recognition AI that could ID a goose, by looking at specific features of its beak(喙).(在建立数据库后，他们编写了一段面部识别人工智能，可以通过观察鹅喙的特定特征来识别鹅。)”可知，该程序可以通过识别鹅喙来区分鹅。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But she adds, just remember, her new research suggests that bird watching goes both ways: Geese can remember faces too.(但她补充道，只是要记住，她的新研究表明，观鸟是双向的：鹅也能记住面孔。)”可知，这项新研究发现鹅也有面部识别的能力。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in computer science,’ she says. ‘But working together, I think we can do this.’(‘我们需要更多受过行为生态学培训的计算机科学家，也需要更多受过计算机科学培训的保护科学家。’她说。‘但通过合作，我认为我们可以做到这一点。’)”可知，Kleindorfer认为需要受过行为生态学培训的计算机科学家和受过计算机科学培训的保护科学家，但可以通过合作达到目的。由此可推测出，她强调了要跨学科合作研究。故选D。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. 36 Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. Empathy is a magic eye that sees into other people’s hearts and it can be learned through various fictions.
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story, and your brain thinks you are in the story. 37
Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond. This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. 38 One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
39 After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. Their empathy also stimulated them to raise 1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war.
Reading encourages us to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial outcomes. Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. 40
A．Apart from those, reading has another benefit.
B．In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
C．This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools.
D．This permits people to understand the emotions that others are feeling.
E．This means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they were real.
F．Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance.
G．For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
【答案】36．A 37．E 38．F 39．C 40．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了阅读对我们的词汇和读写能力有好处，同时阅读还可以增强人们的同理心。
36．根据上文“Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history.(读书是脑力的锻炼。它对我们的词汇和读写能力有好处，教我们数学或科学概念，帮助我们学习历史)”以及后文“Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. Empathy is a magic eye that sees into other people’s hearts and it can be learned through various fictions.(你是否读过一个故事，因为一个人物的痛苦而热泪盈眶？如果是这样，那是因为你对这个角色共情。同理心是一只神奇的眼睛，可以看到别人的内心，它可以通过各种小说来学习)”可知，后文提到了阅读可以培养共情能力，结合上文说明了阅读对词汇和读写能力有好处可知本句是过渡句，引出后文阅读的另一个好处。故A选项“除了这些，阅读还有另一个好处”符合语境，故选A。
37．根据上文“Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story, and your brain thinks you are in the story.(研究表明，人类大脑对故事和事实的反应是不同的。当你在欣赏一个故事时，你的大脑会有更多的区域被激活，你的大脑会认为你就在这个故事中)”可知，上文提到欣赏故事的时候，大脑会认为你就在这个故事中，由此可知，本句是对上文的进一步解释，指出在故事之中可以体会到的情感和想法。故E选项“这意味着你可以体验到角色的想法，就好像他们是真实的一样”符合语境，故选E。
38．根据上文“Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond. This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people.(同理心可以帮助你读懂别人的情绪，并找出最好的回应方式。这种技能被称为情商（EI），可以让你更容易与人沟通和联系)”以及后文“One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).(一项研究发现，读过《哈利波特》系列小说的人不太可能对包括难民在内的弱势群体做出不公平的行为。《哈利波特》讲述了人类与邪恶作斗争的故事)”可知，上文提到了同理心被称为情商，有助于和人沟通和联系，后文用研究发现读过《哈利波特》系列小说的人不太可能对包括难民在内的弱势群体做出不公平的行为进行了论证，故本句指出同理心对人的积极影响。故F选项“研究表明，培养这种智力可以带来更大的容忍度”符合语境，故选F。
39．根据本段内容“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. Their empathy also stimulated them to raise 1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war.(在阅读了《教室后面的男孩》后，圣迈克尔高中的学生受到启发，为非营利组织“难民行动”进行了10英里的步行活动。这本书讲述了一个逃离战争的男孩的故事。他们的同情心也促使他们为那些因战争而被迫离开家园的人筹集了1000英镑)”可知，本段主要说明了圣迈克尔高中的学生在阅读了《教室后面的男孩》后，进行了10英里的步行活动，并且为人们筹集善款，可知同情心理论被付诸了实践。故C选项“这种情商理论已经在学校中付诸实践”符合语境，故选C。
40．根据上文“Reading encourages us to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial outcomes. Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy.(阅读鼓励我们同情他人，这可能会带来一些有益的结果。当我们对他人感同身受时，我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为，而且当他人感同身受时，他们也更有可能帮助我们)”可知，上文提到了同理心对个人的影响，本句为本段最后一句，故强调具有同理心的个人对社会发展的影响。故G选项“为了社会的发展，善于沟通和善解人意的个人真的很重要”符合语境，故选G。

It was one of those busy days. Especially, I had lots of clothes to wash. and Karen, my four-year-old kid, kept following me, pulling my shirt and crying for attention. I was annoyed. To stop her troubling me and make her quiet, I searched the drawers in the bedroom and found-a bag of forgotten balloons. “Yellow,” she said with joy.
The balloons were the gifts for her that her uncle had bought abroad. These balloons were of good quality and very unique, unable to be found at least in our small town. Among the balloons, the yellow one was Karen’s favorite. And there was only one yellow balloon. She viewed it as her best friend and even signed her name on its surface.
After I blew the balloon up, she cheerfully took it with tiny fingers, touching it and telling it her secrets. Immediately. her attention was attracted.
After lunch. we prepared to go to the local public clothes-washing shop. Before long. I was ready. Carrying her yellow balloon. Karen followed me into oat car. On the way, she was singing and had fun with the balloon. She kept beating the balloon against the back of the car seat. As I turned the corner, trying to keep my attention on my driving, I felt a sudden, big wind blow across my feet. I called out at once, “Karen! Close the window. It’s cold out!”
And then I heard her frightened scream. In a hurry, I looked over my shoulder, expecting to see some terrible insects that led to her being frightened. But there wasn’t one. Karen was looking out of the window. both arms reaching out, as if to get something. And she cried, “Balloon, balloon. Come back! Come back!” Then. she turned to me, calling out, “Mom, please stop the car! My balloon has escaped.”

【答案】参考范文
“Alright,” I said and slowly pulled over. Hurriedly, we got off the car. We watched helplessly as the balloon floated up. Driven by the wind, it flew farther and farther and finally disappeared in the sky. Karen cried hard. By the time we reached home, the promise of a new balloon, two new balloons or even ten new balloons had failed to calm Karen. Heartbroken, she whispered, “I’ll never find back my friend.” I felt sad. The next morning, I drove her to the park to cheer her up.
While walking in the park, we suddenly found a yellow balloon flying over a tree. “Is it Karen’s ” I thought. Minutes later, the balloon stopped on the ground. Karen and I rushed to check. To our surprise, it was Karen’s yellow balloon. There was her name she had signed. Possibly, the balloon had rested somewhere the day before and then was carried into the air by wind again. Karen kissed the balloon, saying, “I can’t believe you’d come back.” Later, when I’m in some trouble, I always think of this balloon and remind myself that tomorrow is another day and that nothing is impossible.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Location
St Helena is one of the remotest islands on Earth. The subtropical (亚热带的) British Overseas Territory sits in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, 1,200 miles from the west coast of Africa and 1,800 miles from the east coast of South America.
Size Population
St Helena is only 16 km long and 9 km wide and the population is 5,000. This is 1/3 the size of the Isle of Wight, and the same size as Disney World Orlando. This is also the same size as San Francisco―yet the island has just 0.5% of San Francisco’s population. With an extremely low-crime community, you can freely explore the island’s natural and built attractions in peace.
Climate
As a subtropical island, St Helena’s temperature is 15-28°C all year round. While the four seasons are not recognized on St Helena, the “cooler months” are generally June to September and the “hotter months” are December to March. St Helena is free from extreme weather events, with even thunderstorms only occurring perhaps once a decade.

About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma (听神经瘤) was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine.
Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.
Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger.
There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.
To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric (古 怪的) singer most people dislike, but I don’t care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’ odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.
24．What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness

A．The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body.
B．The author’s self-reflection on his cultural identity.
C．The different attitudes of the author’s family to him.
D．The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury.
26．How did the author find his talk with the boy
A．Reasonable. B．Engaging. C．Life-changing. D．In-depth.
27．What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music
A．Music is the universal language of mankind.
B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.
C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.
D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.

The world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals (哺乳动物), a good night’s sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness (无知觉) during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn’t such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish’s bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.
The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is wide-reaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current, such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night’s sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world’s underwater mammals have to deal with.
To prevent themselves from drowning (溺死) in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to “turn off” one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal’s vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that’s still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.
28．What does the underlined word “slumber” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Rest. B．Sleep. C．Danger. D．Activity.
29．Why is it hard to define sleep for fish
A．Because fish remain partially awake. B．Because fish need short resting time.
C．Because fish possess no consciousness. D．Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.
30．What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals
A．Hiding in sand. B．Riding the current.
C．Finding spots to rest. D．Breathing while sleeping.
31．How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep
A．By sleeping less. B．By adapting to the sea.
C．By surfacing periodically. D．By controlling their breath.

Sonia Kleindorfer was a new director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Austria. At her institute, Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose, which made Kleindorfer feel a certain amount of pressure. “I can do five, but when the next five come, I start to have a mental meltdown,” she says. So she contacted a more technically-minded colleague and asked him: Could he write a program to distinguish these faces
He said, yes, but he’d need a database of geese photos to work with. Kleindorfer got her team out there, snapping pictures of the geese from every angle. After building the database, they wrote a piece of facial recognition AI that could ID a goose, by looking at specific features of its beak (喙). After a couple of years, the team reports that their goose recognition software is now about 97% accurate.
“Geese have such drama—there are archrivals (劲敌), and jealousy and retribution (报答),” Kleindorfer says. To find out how faces figured into this drama, she presented the geese with full-sized pictures of themselves, their partners, or another member of the flock. She showed evidence that geese seemed to recognize photos of their partners and friends, but not themselves. For further study, Sonia Kleindorfer hopes birdwatchers will someday be able to snap a picture of a goose, ID it, and share its location with scientists. But she adds, just remember, her new research suggests that bird watching goes both ways: Geese can remember faces too. “If you are ever not kind to a goose,” she warns, “that goose may find you again.”
Kleindorfer thinks that facial recognition is going to play a really important role in conservation and ecology. “We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in computer science,” she says. “But working together, I think we can do this.”
32．What was the problem of Sonia Kleindorfer at work
A．She was always stressed. B．She was not able to count the geese.
C．She suffered a mental illness. D．She couldn’t recognize all the geese.
33．How does the program distinguish the geese
A．By snapping pictures of the geese. B．By presenting the full-sized pictures.
C．By identifying the beaks in the photos. D．By building the database of the geese.
34．What is the finding of the new research
A．Birdwatching is a dangerous activity.
B．Geese can locate and find human beings.
C．Geese have the ability of facial recognition.
D．Birdwatchers can snap a picture of a goose.
35．What does Kleindorfer stress in the last paragraph
A．Science training. B．Computer science.
C．Photo-taking skills. D．Cross-subject study.

Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. 36 Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. Empathy is a magic eye that sees into other people’s hearts and it can be learned through various fictions.
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story, and your brain thinks you are in the story. 37
Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond. This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. 38 One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
39 After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. Their empathy also stimulated them to raise 1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war.
Reading encourages us to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial outcomes. Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. 40
A．Apart from those, reading has another benefit.
B．In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
C．This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools.
D．This permits people to understand the emotions that others are feeling.
E．This means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they were real.
F．Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance.
G．For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.

When something that’s important to you disappears, don’t be hopeless. It may miraculously (奇迹般地) come back sooner or later. I learned it on one winter day.
It was one of those busy days. Especially, I had lots of clothes to wash. and Karen, my four-year-old kid, kept following me, pulling my shirt and crying for attention. I was annoyed. To stop her troubling me and make her quiet, I searched the drawers in the bedroom and found-a bag of forgotten balloons. “Yellow,” she said with joy.
The balloons were the gifts for her that her uncle had bought abroad. These balloons were of good quality and very unique, unable to be found at least in our small town. Among the balloons, the yellow one was Karen’s favorite. And there was only one yellow balloon. She viewed it as her best friend and even signed her name on its surface.
After I blew the balloon up, she cheerfully took it with tiny fingers, touching it and telling it her secrets. Immediately. her attention was attracted.
After lunch. we prepared to go to the local public clothes-washing shop. Before long. I was ready. Carrying her yellow balloon. Karen followed me into oat car. On the way, she was singing and had fun with the balloon. She kept beating the balloon against the back of the car seat. As I turned the corner, trying to keep my attention on my driving, I felt a sudden, big wind blow across my feet. I called out at once, “Karen! Close the window. It’s cold out!”
And then I heard her frightened scream. In a hurry, I looked over my shoulder, expecting to see some terrible insects that led to her being frightened. But there wasn’t one. Karen was looking out of the window. both arms reaching out, as if to get something. And she cried, “Balloon, balloon. Come back! Come back!” Then. she turned to me, calling out, “Mom, please stop the car! My balloon has escaped.”
