In Katmai National. Park, a mother bear and her cub walk toward us, then sit down and nap, completely at ease with us being around. And the feeling is shared. My husband, nervous about being near such large predators（捕食者） an hour ago, now relaxes so much that he falls asleep in the grass too.
The Katmai coast can only be reached by air or sea. Its faraway location helps keep bear viewing safe. Our guide, Bachrach, tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture. The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide. From late June to September, they move to salmon- filled rivers for the salmon, but they also keep eating grass and berries.
Each time we spot a bear, Bachrach reminds us to read its behavior. If the bear appears relaxed, we can watch for a while from a safe distance. As responsible visitors, we must never let it get too close, and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground. Bachrach learned this the hard way after a bear entered a cabin and stayed near the door for days, expecting more after finding fruit. Besides, we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed. As they drink along the river, we carefully move around them.
“What do you think people get out of seeing bears ” I ask Bachrach.
“I’ve watched visitors go from hesitant to amazed, then comfortable, and then observant and thoughtful. Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals. Those who don’t learn to share don’t grow alongside each other. And those who share, do,” he says.
24．Why does the husband fall asleep
A．He is uninterested in bears. B．He doesn’t want to disturb the bears.
C．He enjoys the author’s company. D．He feels safe in the environment.
25．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Bears’ attacking behavior. B．Katmai’s faraway location.
C．Bears’ different diets. D．Katmai’s changing seasons.
26．What should a responsible bear visitor do
A．Follow bears closely. B．Share food with bears.
C．Talk to bears. D．Watch bears only.
27．What does Bachrach hope people learn from bear viewing
A．To live in peace with wildlife. B．To survive in the wild.
C．To increase space for wildlife. D．To look after bears thoughtfully.
C
Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing.
And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur （恐龙） free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information.
The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it （eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories（卡路里） if you could take in paper）. Thanks, Randall!
Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding （膨胀） outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck.
But that’s what makes it great. What If is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind.
28．What can be found in the book What If
A．Stories of fun journeys. B．Pictures of the oceans.
C．Latest scientific experiments. D．Discussions of unreal situations.
29．How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book
A．He offers direct answers. B．He pays no attention.
C．He recommends textbooks. D．He digs into many possibilities.
30．What is Munroe’s writing style like
A．Formal and detailed. B．Light but confusing.
C．Humorous and educational. D．Imaginative but unclear.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．What If : A Collection of Funny Science Jokes
B．What If : A Scientific Adventure with Munroe
C．What If : A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits
D．What If : A Question-based Book about Life
D
Few would be content to go on a multiyear project to Mars with a diet of bland, prepackaged meals. As space organizations plan for longer exploration, they’re faced with the challenge of how to best feed people. Now, researchers have designed the perfect “space meal”: a tasty vegetarian salad. They choose fresh ingredients （原料） that meet male astronauts’ specialized needs for nutritious（有营养的） food and can be grown in space.
Astronauts in space burn more calories than humans on Earth and require extra micronutrients to stay healthy during long periods in space. Also, future long-term tasks will require growing food in an environmentally-friendly way within the spacecraft or settlements on other planets. While researchers have explored methods of growing food in space and what nutrients astronauts require to stay healthy, specific fresh meals have not been developed. So, Volker Hessel and coworkers wanted to make a space meal that meets those unique requirements of spaceflight and tastes good.
First, the researchers examined mixes of fresh ingredients. In this case, their model showed how well the mixes of different foods could satisfy a male astronaut’s daily nutritional needs while using the smallest amount of water for growing the foods. The team was also concerned about environmental protection, selecting ingredients that needed little fertilizer（肥料）, time and area to grow and whether uneatable parts could be reused. They found that a vegetarian meal made up of soybeans’, peanuts, sweet potato and sunflower seeds had the best balance of lots of nutrients and low farming needs.
To make sure the chosen mix was tasty, the team made the space meal into a salad for four people to have a taste test here on Earth. One tester said he “wouldn’t mind eating this all week as an astronaut.” Other people went back for second helpings. In the future, the researchers plan to see what their computer model dishes up as choices for female astronauts and add more variety to crops in their database.
32．What does the underlined word “bland” in the first paragraph probably mean
A．Nutritious. B．Expensive. C．Tasteless. D．Fresh.
33．What does the second paragraph focus on
A．The challenges of space travel. B．The methods of growing food in space.
C．The problems with multiyear space tasks. D．The reasons for developing the space meal.
34．What do we know about the space food designed by the researchers
A．It is free from fertilizer. B．It takes a short time to grow.
C．It mixes the ingredients with water. D．It is designed for female astronauts.
35．What is the testers’ attitude towards the space meal
A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Mixed.

Embarrassment（尴尬） is something we all experience at one time or another. It can feel stressful in the moment. 36 Here are some strategies that can help you get past your embarrassment.
Laugh if off. If you can laugh at yourself, you’ve already won. It’s wise not to take yourself too seriously. 37 . Having a good laugh about it is the best way to let it go. Forgot your lines during a presentation “Well, that makes the presentation more memorable!”
Distract yourself. Sometimes, the best way to forget about something embarrassing is to focus on something else. Dive into a book that takes you away. Watch a movie that makes you laugh or think. 38 By shifting（转变） your attention, the embarrassment will disappear before long.
39 Ask yourself whether this moment will matter in a week A month In the whole journey of life Probably not. It’s easy to feel embarrassed and make it seem like a big deal, but step out for a second and remind yourself that one awkward moment doesn’t change how others see you overall.
Learn from it and move on. Maybe your moment was a little more serious than you’d like, but every embarrassing situation is an opportunity for personal growth. Accidentally tripped and fell in front of the entire class during a presentation Well, now you know to take a breath and focus on your footing before getting up in front of others. 40
Remember, there is not one on this planet who hasn’t seriously embarrassed themselves. So the next time you’ re feeling a little embarrassed, take a deep breath, laugh it off, and keep going on.
A．Live in the moment.
B．Focus on the bigger picture.
C．This makes embarrassment lose power.
D．Or spend time with those who lift your spirits.
E．By doing this, you become the center of attention.
F．So, take what you can from it and leave the rest behind.
G．However, the way we deal with it can make all the difference.

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。
It was a quiet Saturday afternoon in the small town of Maple Ridge. I had just left George’s Hardware Store, carrying a few things I needed for some home repairs. I was a bit behind schedule, so I hurried to my car, put the items in the trunk（后备箱）, and then shut it.
As I reached into my pocket for my keys, I realized that I didn’t have them. My heart sank as I rushed to the driver’s side door. Sure enough, my keys and phone were sitting on the front seat, locked inside. “Seriously ” I sighed, kicking the tire.
Just then, a teenager on a red bike rode up. He looked about 16, with messy brown hair and a worn backpack. His bike looked just as worn as the rest of him, but he pedaled（骑车） gracefully and effortlessly. And he had a friendly smile on his face. Noticing I was in trouble, he asked what had happened.
After I explained my situation, he offered his phone at once, suggesting that I call someone for help. Though grateful, I told him that even if I called my wife, who had the spare key, she wouldn’t be able to bring it since this was our only car.
The boy listened carefully, thought for a moment, and asked where my house was. When I told him it was on Morris Street, he glanced at his bike and suggested that he ride over, grab the spare key from my wife, and bring it back.
I hesitated, realizing it would be an 11-kilometre round trip, almost an hour’s ride, and I suddenly felt bad for the boy. But before I could say anything, he handed me his phone and insisted that I call my wife and tell her to have the key ready. His confidence and determination left me with little room to argue. I agreed and made the call.
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。
As soon as I hung up, the boy wasted no time. An hour later, as I saw the boy cycling toward me, my worries were gone.

Our guide, Bachrach, tells us that the common view of bears as violent predators killing for meat actually only shows part of the picture. The Katmai spring sees bears feast on plants and dig for shellfish during low tide. From late June to September, they move to salmon- filled rivers for the salmon, but they also keep eating grass and berries.
Each time we spot a bear, Bachrach reminds us to read its behavior. If the bear appears relaxed, we can watch for a while from a safe distance. As responsible visitors, we must never let it get too close, and never let even a bit of our food fall to the ground. Bachrach learned this the hard way after a bear entered a cabin and stayed near the door for days, expecting more after finding fruit. Besides, we must also avoid disturbing the bears while they feed. As they drink along the river, we carefully move around them.
“What do you think people get out of seeing bears ” I ask Bachrach.
“I’ve watched visitors go from hesitant to amazed, then comfortable, and then observant and thoughtful. Hopefully they learn to share space with wild animals. Those who don’t learn to share don’t grow alongside each other. And those who share, do,” he says.

Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing.
And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur （恐龙） free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information.
The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it （eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories（卡路里） if you could take in paper）. Thanks, Randall!
Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding （膨胀） outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck.
But that’s what makes it great. What If is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind.
28．What can be found in the book What If
A．Stories of fun journeys. B．Pictures of the oceans.
C．Latest scientific experiments. D．Discussions of unreal situations.
29．How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book
A．He offers direct answers. B．He pays no attention.
C．He recommends textbooks. D．He digs into many possibilities.
30．What is Munroe’s writing style like
A．Formal and detailed. B．Light but confusing.
C．Humorous and educational. D．Imaginative but unclear.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．What If : A Collection of Funny Science Jokes
B．What If : A Scientific Adventure with Munroe
C．What If : A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits
D．What If : A Question-based Book about Life
D
Few would be content to go on a multiyear project to Mars with a diet of bland, prepackaged meals. As space organizations plan for longer exploration, they’re faced with the challenge of how to best feed people. Now, researchers have designed the perfect “space meal”: a tasty vegetarian salad. They choose fresh ingredients （原料） that meet male astronauts’ specialized needs for nutritious（有营养的） food and can be grown in space.
Astronauts in space burn more calories than humans on Earth and require extra micronutrients to stay healthy during long periods in space. Also, future long-term tasks will require growing food in an environmentally-friendly way within the spacecraft or settlements on other planets. While researchers have explored methods of growing food in space and what nutrients astronauts require to stay healthy, specific fresh meals have not been developed. So, Volker Hessel and coworkers wanted to make a space meal that meets those unique requirements of spaceflight and tastes good.
First, the researchers examined mixes of fresh ingredients. In this case, their model showed how well the mixes of different foods could satisfy a male astronaut’s daily nutritional needs while using the smallest amount of water for growing the foods. The team was also concerned about environmental protection, selecting ingredients that needed little fertilizer（肥料）, time and area to grow and whether uneatable parts could be reused. They found that a vegetarian meal made up of soybeans’, peanuts, sweet potato and sunflower seeds had the best balance of lots of nutrients and low farming needs.
To make sure the chosen mix was tasty, the team made the space meal into a salad for four people to have a taste test here on Earth. One tester said he “wouldn’t mind eating this all week as an astronaut.” Other people went back for second helpings. In the future, the researchers plan to see what their computer model dishes up as choices for female astronauts and add more variety to crops in their database.
32．What does the underlined word “bland” in the first paragraph probably mean
A．Nutritious. B．Expensive. C．Tasteless. D．Fresh.
33．What does the second paragraph focus on
A．The challenges of space travel. B．The methods of growing food in space.
C．The problems with multiyear space tasks. D．The reasons for developing the space meal.
34．What do we know about the space food designed by the researchers
A．It is free from fertilizer. B．It takes a short time to grow.
C．It mixes the ingredients with water. D．It is designed for female astronauts.
35．What is the testers’ attitude towards the space meal
A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Mixed.

How Taking Advice Helped Me Grow
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。
It was a quiet Saturday afternoon in the small town of Maple Ridge. I had just left George’s Hardware Store, carrying a few things I needed for some home repairs. I was a bit behind schedule, so I hurried to my car, put the items in the trunk（后备箱）, and then shut it.
As I reached into my pocket for my keys, I realized that I didn’t have them. My heart sank as I rushed to the driver’s side door. Sure enough, my keys and phone were sitting on the front seat, locked inside. “Seriously ” I sighed, kicking the tire.
Just then, a teenager on a red bike rode up. He looked about 16, with messy brown hair and a worn backpack. His bike looked just as worn as the rest of him, but he pedaled（骑车） gracefully and effortlessly. And he had a friendly smile on his face. Noticing I was in trouble, he asked what had happened.
After I explained my situation, he offered his phone at once, suggesting that I call someone for help. Though grateful, I told him that even if I called my wife, who had the spare key, she wouldn’t be able to bring it since this was our only car.
The boy listened carefully, thought for a moment, and asked where my house was. When I told him it was on Morris Street, he glanced at his bike and suggested that he ride over, grab the spare key from my wife, and bring it back.
I hesitated, realizing it would be an 11-kilometre round trip, almost an hour’s ride, and I suddenly felt bad for the boy. But before I could say anything, he handed me his phone and insisted that I call my wife and tell her to have the key ready. His confidence and determination left me with little room to argue. I agreed and made the call.

As soon as I hung up, the boy wasted no time. An hour later, as I saw the boy cycling toward me, my worries were gone.
