Like most of his classmates, Zhang Yixuan is facing academic pressure as he is preparing to attend the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, next year. However, compared with playing smartphones and games, Zhang Yixuan prefers spending his summer vacation walking in wild nature, meeting little creatures like crabs. His bedroom is packed with dozens of “living treasures” that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, and crabs.
It is the microscope that his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini-biology lab than anything else and it’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing crabs day and night. With the help of the microscope, Zhang buries himself in studying the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining the leg of a crab. It was his deep interest in nature that led Zhang into a new world of discovery.
Last year, a group of crabs caught Zhang’s attention since they looked unusual compared with the commonly seen ones in Rongxian county, where he lives. He decided to take seven of them home. After much observation and lots of researches by reading related articles and documents, Zhang speculated that it must be a new species. And it proved to be true by experts.
The hardworking and gifted teenager is very grateful to his parents for their understanding and support. His father Zhang Lefei, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age. So he and his wife would take their son out into nature to explore as much as possible and would allow him to observe crabs quietly without any disturbs.
They say interest is the best teacher. And so are parents, it seems.

“It’s too sugary, I can’t manage very many,” said a friend. She wasn’t talking about dessert but about some fresh cherries. I bit into another cherry and realized she was right. The fruit was so sweet that it was as if it had been pre-sugared.
But the cherries of my childhood were much less sweet than today’s cherries. Some of them were hardly sweet at all, which made it all the more exciting when you happened upon a super sweet one.
Is modern fruit getting sweeter The answer is yes. Some of the most powerful evidence comes from zoos. In 2018, Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay and weight gain.
Breeding isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. It’s found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples have become significantly sweeter and softer.
But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes, who have to be careful to moderate their intake of higher - sugar fruits such as pineapple. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the phytochemicals （植物化学成分） that make it so healthy.
Health aside, maybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world filled with sugar. Even grapefruit, which used to be quite bitter, is sometimes now as sweet as oranges. If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry, how can you fully appreciate a sweet one Experts put forwards some thoughts about how to appreciate the various tastes of modern fruit.
（ ）28．Why does the author mention her friend’s words in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic of the extreme sweetness of modern cherries.
B．To highlight the content of friend’s preference for sour cherries.
C．To emphasize the importance of pre-sugaring fruits.
D．To show the breeding and selection of modern fruit.
（ ）29．What’s the author’s view on the rise of consistently sweeter fruit
A．The author believes it has no impact on health.
B．The author sees it as a triumph of plant breeding.
C．The author thinks it is a bit worrying in today’s world.
D．The author is concerned that it will lead to bitterness in fruit.
（ ）30．What is a shortcoming of the modern fruit according to the passage
A．It is short of healthy phytochemicals. B．It may not be as tasty as it used to be.
C．It could lack variety and contrast in taste. D．It doesn’t meet people’s need for sweetness.
（ ）31．What might the author continue talking about
A．The advice on selecting modern fruit. B．The approaches to freeing bitter fruit.
C．The comments about cultivated grapefruit. D．The research into the health of zoo animals.
D
Scientists are worried about the future of the axolotl （蝾螈）, an unusual Mexican salamander （蜥蜴）, and they’re asking for help. A new program lets people“adopt”an axolotl to raise money to support efforts to save the endangered animal.
If an axolotl loses a leg, or even part of its heart, brain, or lungs, it can regrow them. Scientists have long been interested in this. Some people think the information could help solve some human medical problems.
The Mexican axolotl is only found naturally in Lake Xochimilco near Mexico City. This is not a big and open lake, but a collection of canals and smaller bodies of water. Sadly, axolotls are in trouble. The number of axolotls in Xochimilc o has dropped 99.5% in less than 20 years. Scientists used to find thousands of axolotls in a fairly small area. Now, they’re only finding dozens.
There are a number of reasons for the drop in axolotls. One is that the water in the canals has become more and more polluted. Another is that there are invasive fish in the lake which are eating the axolotl’s food and even their babies.
Scientists at Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) have been working for years to try to protect the axolotls. Last year, the UNAM scientists started a program they called Adopt Axolotl. They asked people to donate money to help pay for efforts to save the axolotl. The program was a big hit, and raised more than $26,000. The money was used to help clean up some of Xochimilco’s canals and for a program to raise axolotls in a safe environment.
This year, the scientists are trying AdoptAxolotl again. The program offers several ways for people to support axolotls: For $30, you can virtually “adopt” one of the animals for a month. Smaller donations can help pay for food for an axolotl. Larger donations are aimed at improving areas where axolotls live, and include a visit to the protected area where UNAM is raising axolotls.
（ ）32．What have the scientists had an interest in
A．How axolotls cure themselves. B．Who can address medical problems.
C．How soon axolotls will go extinct. D．Why some people focus on axolotls.
（ ）33．Why are the figures listed in paragraph 3
A．To promote axolotl research. B．To blame the Mexican residents.
C．To show the severe conditions. D．To expand the habitat for axolotls.
（ ）34．We can learn from the text that AdoptAxolotl ______.
A．collected enough money B．turned out very popular
C．helped to build new canals D．moved students at UNAM
（ ）35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．New Projects Are Needed to Protect Axolotls
B．Amazing Axolotls Live in Hash Environment
C．Everyone Can Help to Stop Adopting Animals
D．Scientists Work to Save Mexico’s Axolotls

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
In December, an unseen disease arrived in a village. Ally was one of the victims. She lay, barely moving, in her bed staring at a wall out of the window under her blanket.
The doctor took her father, who was a painter, aside and claimed, “She has one chance in—let us say, ten. And that chance is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her to think more hopeful thoughts, about the future, about living.”
Her father took some paper and a pen into Ally’s room and began a pen drawing, in an attempt to raise Ally’s spirits. Ally’s eyes were open, but they weren’t watching him. Instead, she stared out the window and counted backwards, “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
“What are you counting, dear ” asked her father. “They’re falling faster now,” replied Ally.
“Three days ago there were almost a hundred. But now there are only five left now. Five leaves on the ivy vine （常春藤）. When the last one falls, I must go, too.”
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense,” quickly replied her father. But Ally’s mind was made up. “I want to see the last one fall. I want to go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.”
“Try to sleep,” said her father. Ally closed her eyes quietly. Watching her daughter’s pale face, he was lost in deep thought. As a painter, he had never produced a masterpiece he longed to paint in 40 years. As a father, he even couldn’t help her daughter cheer up. Looking out of the window, he noticed that there was just one remaining leaf. What’s more, a cold rain was falling mixed with snow. “Are there people in the world that are foolish to think they’ll die because leaves drop off from an ivy vine This is not a place in which Ally shall lie sick.” He made up his mind to do something.
The next morning, Ally woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the ivy vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. “It will fall today. And I will die with it.”
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右：
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The following day, Ally asked again for the curtains to be opened. __________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
A few weeks later, Ally recovered completely and the secret was revealed. ____________________________
