M: As you are learning Chinese social problems now, I would like to share the result of a recent survey with you.
The researchers asked 20,000 young people in 20 countries, including China, the US and the UK, how they think and feel about the world. They found that 53 percent of those questioned in China think the world is becoming a better place. That’s the highest percentage among the countries in the survey, followed by India with 49 percent.
When asked why they felt hopeful for the future, 93 percent of those Chinese youth said it was because advances of technology like medicine, new energy and the Internet might make life in the future easier.
However, Chinese young people seem to worry about something else. As much as 82 percent of them worry about climate change. That’s a lot more than the number of people who care about the environmental problems in other countries. We can see that Chinese young people are quite different from their previous generations. I hope each of you can write a report on this problem after class.

But the first time I truly went underwater, I was about 10 years old. And I can still vividly remember I was instantly surrounded by fish in all colors of the rainbow. That was the day I fell in love with the ocean. ” It’s no surprise that she pursued a career in marine biology.
Dr. Anderson’s extraordinary work has spanned decades, from conducting vital research on endangered coral reefs to leading educational initiatives about marine conservation.

Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal ’”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
28．What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”
A．The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.
B．The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C．Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.
D．The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
29．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A．The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
B．The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C．The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
D．The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
30．How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron
A．From a strange dream. B．By asking for the public.
C．Through their discussion. D．By studying the Eiffel Tower.
31．What can we infer about the new Olympic medals
A．They are innovative. B．They are light.
C．They have six sides. D．They are golden-colored.
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．C 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴黎奥运会奖牌的新颖设计、创意的来源以及其他的背景知识等。
28． 细节理解题。根据第二段““It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.” (巴黎2024年奥运会创意总监蒂埃里 雷布尔(Thierry Reboul)上周告诉记者：“对运动员来说，这是一个把巴黎的一部分带回来的机会。”“埃菲尔铁塔是巴黎和法国的绝对象征。”)”可知，奖牌上有埃菲尔铁塔上面的碎铁，而埃菲尔铁塔是巴黎的标志性建筑。故选C项。
29．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown”paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut. (每一个新的奥运奖牌上都有一块埃菲尔铁塔的铁，尽管标志性的“埃菲尔铁塔棕色”油漆已经被去掉了。这些碎片被塑造成六边形，这是“法国的形状”。此外，还有“巴黎2024”字样、奥运五环和奥运会徽，会徽看起来像一束火焰，或者是一个短发女人的脸。)”可知，本段主要介绍了奥运奖牌上面的埃菲尔铁塔的碎片被制成六边形的形状、并刻上字和奥运五环等，因此可知，本段介绍了新的巴黎奥运奖牌上的埃菲尔铁塔碎片设计。故选D项。
30．细节理解题。根据第五段“How did they think of such an idea Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal ’” (他们是怎么想到这个主意的 巴黎奥组委设计负责人约阿希姆·朗辛告诉媒体：“我们多次讨论设计方案，并意识到有一个世界闻名的标志，那就是埃菲尔铁塔。我们对自己说，‘嘿，如果我们找到埃菲尔铁塔运营公司，看看是否有可能把埃菲尔铁塔的一部分融入到奖牌中呢 ’”)”可知，设计者们是在讨论得到的这个设计奖牌的想法。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段“Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower. (官方公布了将在今年夏季巴黎奥运会上颁发的金、银、铜牌，每一枚奖牌都有一个独特的纪念品：埃菲尔铁塔上的废铁碎片。)”以及纵观全文可知，法国把埃菲尔铁塔的碎片经过加工设计镶嵌到了奥运奖牌中，这是其他国家没有的，因此推断新的奥运奖牌是独特、新颖的。故选A项。

Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland Canada, is achieving new heights of popularity in North America.
Arthur, Von Wiesenberger who carries the title “Water Master”, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water.” He says.
But is plain tap water all that bad Not at all. In fact. New York’s tap water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.
Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share — despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: Pepsi Co’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.
As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs are desperate for the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up (加价) on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.
As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless methods include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.
Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health. our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.
32．What is Arthur’s purpose in mentioning his dog in paragraph 2
A．To indicate his own preference for bottled water.
B．To show the importance of bottled water to dogs.
C．To clarify the difference between bottled water and tap water.
D．To exhibit the large consumption of bottled water in big cities.
33．Which of the following best explains “fancier brands” underlined in paragraph 5
A．tap water from the Thames River
B．famous wines not sold in ordinary stores
C．PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani
D．pricey bottled water with very impressive names
34．Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water
A．Most diners find bottled water affordable.
B．Competition from the wine industry is fierce.
C．Bottled water can bring in huge profits.
D．Bottled water satisfies diners’ desire to be fashionable.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Tap water: why tastes better B．Bottled water: why so popular
C．A new favorite of. restaurants; bottled water D．A rising star: tap water
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．C 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于“Iceberg Water”这一新兴瓶装水品牌在北美洲的流行现象，并探讨了瓶装水流行背后的原因。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Arthur, Von Wiesenberger who carries the title “Water Master”, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water.” He says.(Arthur Von Wiesenberger被称为“水大师”，是北美为数不多的水评论家之一。小时候，他在意大利、法国和瑞士的大城市待过一段时间，在那里他每天都要喝瓶装水。即使在那时，他也会记日记，记下他最喜欢的牌子。“我的狗能分辨瓶装水和自来水。”他说。)”可知，Arthur提到他的狗拒绝喝自来水，只喝瓶装水，这实际上是在用实例来表明他自己对瓶装水的偏爱。故选A。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“But since water is much cheaper than wine (但由于水比酒便宜得多)”以及下文“most diners don’t notice or care (大多数食客都不会注意到或在意)”可推测，许多高档品牌在商店里买不到，大多数食客都不会注意到或关心，推测划线词fancier brands指的是“价格贵，包装显得很高档”的瓶装水。选项D“pricey bottled water with very impressive names (昂贵的瓶装水，名字令人印象深刻)”符合词意。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs are desperate for the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up(加价)on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent.(随着食客们对知名品牌的渴望，装瓶商和餐馆老板们也迫切希望从中获利。餐馆在葡萄酒上的典型加价是100%到150%，而瓶装水通常是300%到500%)”可推测，瓶装水的高利润是餐厅增加销售压力的一个原因。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health. our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.(不管它是如何销售的，瓶装水的流行激发了我们对健康的渴望。我们希望显得有教养，甚至渴望失去的纯净)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了瓶装水，特别是Iceberg Water在北美洲的流行现象，以及它为何能达到新的高度。它探讨了消费者偏好、营销策略以及瓶装水和自来水之间的比较等因素。因此，选项B“Bottled water: why so popular (瓶装水：为何如此受欢迎？)”这个标题准确地概括了文本的主要内容和焦点。故选B。

Bird flu: What threat to humans
There are lots of different types of bird flu and most are harmless to people. Some can potentially spread from birds to people if there is prolonged and close contact.
How do people get it
The biggest risk comes from prolonged and close contact with infected birds. 36 . Bird flu cannot usually be passed from human to human. Scientists are concerned that the virus may one day mutate (变异) and acquire the ability to spread in people.
What are the symptoms
The symptoms in humans are similar to those of other types of flu: a temperature, cough, headache, chills, aching muscles and a runny or blocked nose and sneezing. 37 , and usually about three to five days after coming into contact with the virus.
What’s the treatment
If it’s thought that you might have symptoms of bird flu, you’ll be advised to stay at home, or you’ll be cared for in hospital in isolation from other patients. Doctors can prescribe antiviral medicines to help prevent complications. 38 .
39
You can reduce your risk of infection by washing your hands regularly (particularly after going to the toilet and before handling food) and using a tissue when you need to cough or sneeze (and turning away from others if they are coughing/sneezing).
You can feed wild ducks and birds, but make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Do not go near sick or dead birds.
Can I still eat chicken
40 . Poultry and eggs can be safely eaten as long as they are handled hygienically and cooked thoroughly.
A．How can we avoid it
B．How can we prevent the spread of it
C．These symptoms can come on suddenly
D．You are advised to consult doctors when not feeling yourself
E．Painkillers such as paracetamol can also help with the symptoms
F．The virus is easily destroyed by cooking so there is no reason to worry
G．This means farmers who need to handle poultry are more likely to catch it
【答案】36．G 37．C 38．E 39．A 40．F
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了禽流感对人类的威胁及其预防措施。
36．根据空前“The biggest risk comes from prolonged and close contact with infected birds.（最大的风险来自长时间和受感染的禽类密切接触。）”提到了长时间和受感染的禽类密切接触的人有感染病毒的风险。中间是过渡句，前后是顺承关系，G项“This means farmers who need to handle poultry are more likely to catch it（这意味着需要处理家禽的农民更有可能感染此病毒）”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。“This”指代上文所述情况。故选G。
37． 根据空前“The symptoms in humans are similar to those of other types of flu: a temperature, cough, headache, chills, aching muscles and a runny or blocked nose and sneezing.（人类的感染症状与其他类型流感的症状相似：发烧、咳嗽、头痛、发冷、肌肉酸痛、流鼻涕或鼻塞以及打喷嚏。）”讲人类感染此病毒后的症状与感染其他类型的流感相似。以及空格“and usually about three to five days after coming into contact with the virus.（并且这些症状通常是在接触病毒后三至五天左右出现）”。说到症状出现的时间，可能突然出现也可能三至五天后出现，C项“These symptoms can come on suddenly（这些症状可能会突然出现）”承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
38．根据本段小标题“What’s the treatment （有什么治疗方法？）”可知，本段主要讲治疗方法。根据空格前“Doctors can prescribe antiviral medicines to help prevent complications. （医生可以开抗病毒药物来帮助预防并发症。）”可知，这里提到抗病毒药物，下面要举出一些药物的例子。E项“Painkillers such as paracetamol can also help with the symptoms（扑热息痛等止痛药也能缓解症状）”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选E。
39． 此处为本段小标题。根据本段内容“You can reduce your risk of infection by washing your hands regularly (particularly after going to the toilet and before handling food) and using a tissue when you need to cough or sneeze (and turning away from others if they are coughing/sneezing).（您可以通过经常洗手（特别是上完厕所后和处理食物前）以及在需要咳嗽或打喷嚏时使用纸巾（如果其他人咳嗽/打喷嚏则转身离开）来降低感染风险。）”可知，本段主要讲述如何预防禽流感，即如何避免感染禽流感。A项“How can we avoid it（我们如何才能避免禽流感）”统领本段，适合做本段的小标题。故选A。
40．根据空后“Poultry and eggs can be safely eaten as long as they are handled hygienically and cooked thoroughly.（只要卫生处理并彻底煮熟，家禽和鸡蛋都可以安全食用。）”可知，经过卫生处理和彻底煮熟，家禽和蛋类中病毒可以被消灭，就可以放心食用。F项“The virus is easily destroyed by cooking so there is no reason to worry（通过烹饪很容易消灭这种病毒，所以不用担心）”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选F。

【答案】
56．changes 57．remains 58．a 59．to cover 60．from 61．gradually 62．their 63．that/which 64．has been favored 65．admiration
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是中国服装文化的发展。
56．考查名词的复数。句意：随着社会的变化，经济的发展，文化的发展，服装经历了几千年的演变。change是可数名词，不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填changes。
57．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，虽然形式可能已经改变，但本质是不变的。本句描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语essence是不可数名词，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填remains。
58．考查冠词。句意：服装在中国文化中占有重要地位。place是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，significant是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。

62．考查物主代词。句意：他们的设计传达了行为规范，他们的图案具有丰富的文化意义。they和patterns之间是所属关系，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词their，修饰名词patterns，故填their。
63．考查定语从句。句意：中国一直被认为是一个重视正式服装和礼仪的国家。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词nation是国家，因此空格处用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
64．考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：例如，多年来一直受到国际品牌和中国人青睐的马脸裙，将继续具有吸引力。由by可知，句子用被动语态，由for many years可知，句子时态用现在完成时，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，主语which指代的先行词skirt是单数，因此空格处是has been favored。故填has been favored。
65．考查名词。句意：这不仅是一种传统的服装风格，也是一种崇拜的源泉。空格处用名词作宾语，admire的名词是admiration，意为“崇拜”，是不可数名词，故填admiration。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
“This Saturday, we’ll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max ” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. The presence of the gray cat made him feel more relaxed and comfortable. He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him. Ben was amazed by how much he enjoyed reading aloud to Max. Still, he was surprised when Ms. Delgado gave him the Most Improved Reader award. Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as he held the certificate in his hands. He couldn’t wait to show it to Max.
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. He looked around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of his feline friend. However, Max was nowhere to be found. Ben’s heart sank as he realized that someone might have adopted Max. Just then, Mrs. Patel walked into the visitors’ room, carrying Max. “I’m adopting him,” Mrs. Patel said. “You can come over every day to read to him.” Hearing what Mrs. Patel said, Ben jumped with excitement and threw his arms around Mrs. Patel. Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben去动物收容所时，给一只名叫Max的猫读书，发现它好像听得懂似得，于是Ben提出想收养Max，但他妈妈有过敏症。他甚至告诉了他的邻居Patel太太关于Max的事。一周又一周，Ben意识到有了Max的陪伴，读书似乎变得更容易了，Ben还被老师授予“最进步读者奖”。Ben想去收容所告诉Max得奖的事情，却得知Max被收养了，结果原来是邻居Patel太太收养了Max。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“一周又一周，本意识到有马克斯的陪伴读书似乎更容易了。”可知，第一段可描写Ben在Max的陪伴下，朗读能力获得很大的提升，并获得老师的奖励。
②由第二段首句内容“但是星期六，本在收容所找不到马克斯。”可知，第二段可描写Ben找不到Max的感受，以及最后知道Patel太太收养了Max后的反应。
2. 续写线索：老师安排去给猫读书——遇到Max——想收养Max但是不行——发现自己在Max陪伴下朗读能力提高——获得进步奖——想告诉Max——Max不见了——得知Max被Patel收养——高兴。
3. 词汇激活

In the field of marine (海洋) conservation , there exists a true hero of the seas whose story of preserving our oceans is nothing short of inspirational. Dr. Lisa Anderson, a marine biologist, has devoted her life to protecting our underwater ecosystems and the countless species that call them home.
Growing up near the coast, Dr.Anderson’s childhood was filled with visits to the beach and established a profound connection to the sea. She always had a passion for marine life and a deep curiosity about the creatures beneath the waves. She said, “As a kid, I used to dream about the ocean. It was this wild place full of color and life and home to these fantastic creatures. I pictured big sharks ruling the food chain and saw graceful sea turtles dancing across coral reefs.

Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment (碎片) of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic me dal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron — though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形), which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal ’”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
28．What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”
A．The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris.
B．The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C．Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris.
D．The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
29．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A．The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
B．The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C．The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
D．The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
30．How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron
A．From a strange dream. B．By asking for the public.
C．Through their discussion. D．By studying the Eiffel Tower.
31．What can we infer about the new Olympic medals
A．They are innovative. B．They are light.
C．They have six sides. D．They are golden-colored.

Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland Canada, is achieving new heights of popularity in North America.
Arthur, Von Wiesenberger who carries the title “Water Master”, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water.” He says.
But is plain tap water all that bad Not at all. In fact. New York’s tap water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.
Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share — despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: Pepsi Co’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.
As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs are desperate for the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up (加价) on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.
As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless methods include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.
Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health. our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.
32．What is Arthur’s purpose in mentioning his dog in paragraph 2
A．To indicate his own preference for bottled water.
B．To show the importance of bottled water to dogs.
C．To clarify the difference between bottled water and tap water.
D．To exhibit the large consumption of bottled water in big cities.
33．Which of the following best explains “fancier brands” underlined in paragraph 5
A．tap water from the Thames River
B．famous wines not sold in ordinary stores
C．PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani
D．pricey bottled water with very impressive names
34．Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water
A．Most diners find bottled water affordable.
B．Competition from the wine industry is fierce.
C．Bottled water can bring in huge profits.
D．Bottled water satisfies diners’ desire to be fashionable.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Tap water: why tastes better B．Bottled water: why so popular
C．A new favorite of. restaurants; bottled water D．A rising star: tap water

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。
“This Saturday, we’ll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max ” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company.
