In China, the temperature with the daily temperature reaching 35 ℃ is generally called high temperature, and the high-temperature weather process for several consecutive(连续的) days is called high-temperature heat wave.
The heat wave at night, that is, the temperature at night is continuously high. Although it appears at night, the "force value" and "damage value" cannot be ignored. It is good at confusing(欺骗) people with the darkness of the night, making people take it lightly, and then release a lot of heat. "The physical mechanism that causes high temperature during the day and at night is related to land air interaction and meteorological(气象的) conditions." Meteorological experts say that we usually think that the temperature will naturally drop after sunset, but the energy accumulated during the day actually begins to slowly release at night. The heat accumulated in the atmospheric boundary layer during the day can be stored until the night, so the high temperature in the day can last until the night.
There are two main reasons for the form of night heat waves: on the one hand, urbanization(城市化) leads to the reduction of evaporation(蒸发) and the weakening of wind power, which strengthens the heat island effect. On the other hand, in addition to reducing evaporation and wind, the lower reflect of dark roads in cities than green plants in rural areas increases the heat storage during the day and enhances the long wave heat release at night.
In general, the contribution of urbanization at different levels of development to the night heat wave is different. The higher the degree of development of the city, the more roads are extended on the fundemantal surface, and the worse the water seepage(渗透) capacity, the larger the water impermeable surface area, the less the surface evaporation but the more the heat absorption, and finally the city is constantly heated up.
24. Which of the following temperatures is called high temperature in China
A. 41℃ B. 34℃ C. 28℃ D. 21℃
25. According to the second paragraph, what is the night heat wave
A. High temperature at night due to continuous daytime high temperature.
B. Continuous high temperature at night.
C. Results of urban heat island effect.
D. High temperature weather reaching 35 ℃.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The degree of urban development has nothing to do with the temperature.
B. Rural areas are more likely to have heat waves at night.
C. The more developed the city, the higher the temperature.
D. Only if the city makes more contributions can it avoid the heat wave at night.
27. What is the best title of this article
A. Why is there a heat wave when there is no sun at night
B. The influence of high temperature weather on China
C. Defense(防御的) measures against heat wave at night
D. How to cool the city quickly
C
Did you like reading at school Well, according to recent research, reading fiction at a young age could give us a more complex view of the world and allow as to better understand other people's lives.
This is particularly true for literary fiction, which focuses on people's lives and the social issues that may affect them.
The researchers based their conclusions on four surveys of adults in the country.
In all four studies, participants were asked about the type of reading they do, as well as abouta different aspect of the way in which they see the world and see themselves.
The first study found that among more than 350 people, increased reading of literary fiction when growing up was connected with greater "psychological richness." This might mean having an open mind and trying to gain wisdom in life.
In the second study, the researchers said that among around 2,200 university students, those who read literary fiction were less likely to simply accept authority.
The third study found that reading any fiction as a young person gave people a sense of perspective and empathy(共情) .Around 1,500 participants were involved in this one.
Finally, based on results from the fourth study—of around 1,000 people—the researchers concluded that people who read literary fiction early in life were more likely to have a complex
worldview.
Whether or not participants reported that they were currently reading literary fiction did not affect how complex their worldview was. This suggests that reading as a young person has more of an impact.
The authors said that fiction is a useful tool for understanding that the world is a complex place, full of differences.
They believe it could even provide us with skills to live in societies that include all sorts of different people.
28. What s the best explanation for “psychological richness" in the passage
A. Skills to live. B. Mode of thinking.
C. The world full of differences D. Open-mindedness and life wisdom
29. According to the passage, university students who read literary fiction would __________.
A. not easily accept authority. B. probably accept authority.
C. certainly not accept authority. D. Simply accept authority.
30. Which of the following statements is supported by the fourth study
A. Participants were greatly affected by their current reading.
B. Our worldview tends to be simpler if we read literary fiction in our adult life.
C. Participants were slightly influenced by their current reading.
D. Our worldview tends to be more affected if we read literary fiction at a young age.

Like many Americans, my father, Kenneth Hamilton, must have heard Paul Robeson sing over the radio at one time or another. He must have read about Robeson’s extraordinary feats of daring and skill on the football fields of Rutgers. “I imagine,” he would begin, “that Mr. Paul Robeson woke up one morning to find there was more to the day than playing football. I know I did (my father played football for Iowa State). I imagine he looked around him. He saw that plenty of his people already were preachers; there were enough morticians(殡仪业者)to reach from here to kingdom to come. I imagine Mr. Robeson decided then and there he would be what there never had been before. And he was.”
I don’t recall Kenneth Hamilton ever saying what it was Paul Robeson became besides a
football star. But surely he was referring to Robeson’s powerful singing voice. Yet what came
through clearly to me at the time was this: If one were to become anything, it would have to be not only the best but wholly original, a new idea. This concept sank deep into my consciousness. Imperceptibly(不知不觉地), I grow up yearning for the unusual, seeking something unique in myself. I longed not just to write, but to newly write and like no one else. Kenneth Hamilton wanted no less for his youngest child.
“Like no one else,” he had been no less himself. Graduating from Iowa State Business College in the early 1890s when it was an achievement when a black man completed high school, he began his search for employment.
One day, the banker for whom his mother worked as a cook asked that young Kenneth be sent around to the bank, where there was a suitable job for him. He hurried over to the bank, absolutely amazed at this sudden stroke of luck. Dressed in starched collar and gray business suit, he wondered what he would become.
Kenneth Hamilton walked directly into the bank and was promptly handed a mop and a bucket. He threw both the length of the establishment and turned on his heel, never to return. Perhaps he should have accepted that first mop and bucket, but I’m rather glad his imagination wouldn’t permit him. For now I have pleasure of remembering him as a man who would not allow mind or body to be limited by another’s reality. I could have wanted no less for a father.
31. According to the first paragraph, Kenneth Hamilton and Paul Robeson were similar because they ________.
A. were both talented singers
B. both played football for Iowa state
C. both had aspirations for things greater than collegiate sports
D. both, at one time, aspired to be preachers
32. Which of the following best exemplifies what the author refers to as the “wholly original, a new idea” (in paragraph 2)
A. The author’s resolve to be unlike any other writer.
B. The author’s choice to write about her past experiences.
C. Kenneth Hamilton’s decision to play football.
D. Paul Robeson’s determination that he would not be a preacher.
33. The story about Kenneth Hamilton’s search for employment in the last two paragraphs is included by the author to ________.
A. emphasize the policy of bias in banking institutions of the 1890s
B. illustrate the authors admiration for her father
C. stress Kenneth Hamilton’s natural ability for janitorial work
D. explain how her father came upon his eventual great success
34. The passage suggests that the author’s admiration for her father steams from ________.
A. his willingness to submit to society’s expectations of him
B. the realistic expectations he placed on his mind and body
C. the imagination by which he undertook his daily assignments
D. his courage in seeking a bank job in the 1890s
35. Which of the following statements is RIGHT
A. Kenneth Hamilton wanted to be a preacher before.
B. Kenneth Hamilton would not allow his mind or body to be limited by another’s reality.
C. Kenneth Hamilton’s achievement of education didn’t permit him to accept the job that the bank offered him.
D. Influenced by Kenneth Hamilton, the author wanted to be a writer.

Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled "Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner." One reason was: "You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym," while another read: " 36 " With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙)competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit — your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core(核心)of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.

D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport

School Picnic Day
My mom often tells me stories. One of her stories is about the school picnic. At that time, schools didn’t have a track and field day like we have now. Instead, the biggest day for them was the School Picnic Day.
The School Picnic Day was usually held on the last day of school in June. On that day, kids played simple games. No one cared who won and who lost. The true winners were the children themselves bathed in the joyous atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect.
Soon, before anyone knew it, the School Picnic Day would reach its climax with a grand feast at lunch time. Parents always packed picnic baskets for the kids. They filled them with as many good foods as they could afford. Lunchtime was a delightful occasion with children early sharing their baskets and exchanging treats with one another.
There was one family that was very poor. They had no picnic lunch that year. When my mom noticed this from a distance, she quickly tried to figure out how to help them. She knew they would be embarrassed if she gave them something from her own lunch basket.
Just then, the teacher announced there was going to be one final race before lunch. It would be the sack race, in which two people get inside a sack and hop as fast as they can to the finish line. The winner would receive a special lunch basket prepared by the teachers.
My mom wanted to enter this race. She waited until she saw Mary, the oldest sister of the family, get up. She asked Mary if she could be her partner, and Mary agreed. My mom had never been good at races, but as she put her legs into that sack with Mary, she told herself, “You can do it. You have to win!”
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。
The teacher yelled, “Ready. Set. Go!” and the race was on.
