Suppose I were to ask you to name some of the greatest nurses that the world has ever known. Chances are you will give me the name of Florence Nightingale, the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. She’s still pictured today as she was in the Crimean War of 1853, carrying a lamp from sickbed to sickbed where she tended to the wounded, and that is how she earned herself the title of “The Lady With The Lamp”.
Born on May 12th, 1820, she was a genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. Her parents were different, too. They were super-wealthy, and actually cared about the education of their two daughters. This came as a surprise because at that time, being born with two X chromosomes（染色体）was the high road to a life full of knitting and taking care of a household but her father was really dedicated to his two daughters. Education for women at that time was still at its earliest but Florence got the best education possible.
On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared that she had had a vision and God had commanded her to end suffering in this world and this is when she joined Nursing. Both of her parents disagreed with that, considering that at that time nursing was looked down upon. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents, but they didn’t give in.
Aged 29, she even refused suitors（求婚者）to focus on her nursing career which at that time was non-existent. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853, her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital.
24. Why was Nightingale called “The Lady With The Lamp”
A. She was the greatest nurse in the world.
B. She attended the Crimean War in 1853.
C. She took a lamp to take better pictures.
D. She tirelessly cared for the wounded carrying a lamp.
25. What can be inferred about Nightingale’s father according to paragraph 2
A. He was strict with his two daughters.
B. He believed women should stay at home.
C. He placed a high value on education.
D. He objected to his daughter’s becoming a nurse.
26. How is the passage developed
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing reasons.
C. By following time order. D. By listing examples.
27. Which of the following can best describe Nightingale
A. Selfless and determined. B. Caring and mean.
C. Serious and stubborn. D. Optimistic and knowledgeable.
C
Climate change is causing Europe to heat up more quickly than any other continent, and that heat is deadly, according to a new report by European climate officials.
The whole planet is warming up because of heat-trapping pollution（吸热污染）from oil, gas and coal. But Europe is getting warmer faster. Samantha Burgess is the deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which is the EU’s official weather and climate organization. She says Europe is warming about twice as fast as the global average. “Globally, we’re looking at about a 0.2 degrees Celsius change per decade, whereas Europe is, I think, about 0.4 degrees Celsius per decade.”
Those tenths of a degree add up quickly. Europe is already more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it was in the late 1800s. One reason Europe is heating up so quickly is that it’s very close to the Arctic, and the polar regions feel the effects of climate change more intensely. Another reason is that the ocean and atmospheric currents around Europe are warmer in general than those at similar latitudes (纬度) in other parts of the world. That’s why London’s winters are so much more temperate than Chicago’s, even though London is farther north. And it means that as the oceans and atmosphere heat up, Europe feels it in a big way.
Last year was tied for the hottest year on record in Europe. A new report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the United Nations finds that the number of deaths from hot weather in Europe has grown by at least 30% in the last 20 years.
Last summer was a prime（最典型的）example. During a heat wave in July, intense heat and humidity made it feel like it was 110 degrees Celsius or hotter in nearly half of southern Europe. That’s the kind of heat that can kill people if they don’t have access to air conditioning. Preliminary estimates say tens of thousands of people likely died. European cities are scrambling to make sure residents have access to air conditioning and reliable electricity for that air conditioning.
28.Why does the author mention what Samantha Burgess said in Paragraph 2
A. To indicate that Europe used the most oil, gas and coal.
B. To suggest that Europe had the most people killed by heat.
C. To prove that Europe was getting warmer the fastest.
D. To tell us that Europe is in the Arctic region.
29.What caused London’s winter to be warmer than that of Chicago
A. The difference of latitudes.
B. The distance from the equator.
C. The impact of heat-trapping pollution.
D. The effect of ocean and atmospheric currents.
30.What does the underlined word “scrambling” in the last paragraph mean
A. Climbing hard to the top of a mountain.
B. Writing words too casually to be readable.
C. Competing with others in order to get something.
D. Moving somewhere in a hurry.
31.Which column of a newspaper does this article belong to
A. Environment. B. History. C. Source. D. Health.
D
Few insects strike greater fear into the hearts of fruit growers than rosy apple aphids. These tiny insects feed on the leaves of apple trees. Their saliva (唾液), meanwhile, contains a poison that causes the leaves to fold up and harden, providing an excellent place for them to shelter, including from farm chemicals.
In the battle against these aphids, some suggest applying the services of tiny parasitoid wasps (寄生黄蜂) called Ephedrus cerasicola and Aphidius matricariae. Instead of killing and then eating their targets, these wasps eat and thus kill them --- or rather, their larvae (幼虫) do. Females put their eggs into rosy apple aphids, and the larvae that come out of them then go on to eat their hosts’ bodies before growing as adults.
Using parasitoid wasps for pest control has a long history. Unfortunately attempts to use Ephedrus cerasicola and Aphidius matricariae to control rosy apple aphids have so far failed. And Louise Ferrais of the Catholic University of Louvain thinks he knows why. Previous efforts, he thinks have been so focused on the dietary requirements of the larvae that they have paid no attention to those of honey-loving adults. He suggests changing that by planting banks of flowers beside the trees.
To test this idea, researchers ran an experiment on an apple farm. They divided it into six plots, each of 700 square meters. Three were planted with strips of a mixture of 30 wildflower species. The other three were left flowerless, as controls. Then, they attached a bottle containing about 1,250 wasp pupae, from which adult wasps developed, to each of nine trees per plot and repeated that between 10 and 20 days later to increase the population Then they examined selected trees every 10 days for groupings of aphids.
The presence of flowers, they found, was related to a diminution in the number of aphids in a plot by a third, compared with the controls. Though that is not as impressive as the 80-90% drop that would follow a chemical solution, it would be valuable to fruit growers who wish to keep the all-important "green" label while having at least some crops left to harvest.
What may bother apple growers when dealing with rosy apple aphids
A. They’re hard to remove. B. They reproduce frequently.
C. They threaten farmers’ health. D. They're easy to escape from enemies.
33. How can the wasps kill rosy apple aphids
A. They poison the aphids with their saliva.
B. Their larvae eat the aphids from the inside.
C. Their larvae keep the aphids from growing.
D. They prevent female aphids from laying eggs.
34.What is advised to improve wasps’ performance in aphid control
A. Plant flowers to increase the larvae's food sources.
B. Meet both larvae's and adults’ food preferences.
C. Better the living environment of wasps.
D. Introduce wasps of different varieties.
35. What does the underlined word“diminution”probably mean in the last paragraph
A. Rise. B. Balance. C. Variation. D. Reduction.

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。
Emma comes from a remote village surrounded by mountains. Unlike her trendy classmates in New York who are addicted to such high-tech things as smartphones and social media, she prefers knitting（编织）.
Emma’s love for the traditional skill is deeply influenced by her mother, who can create all kinds of beautiful things with a pair of simple needles. Whenever she is free, she will sit down and start knitting all kinds of things for her children and neighbors. Whether it is a mini bag or a scarf, each item is a unique gift full of love and warmth. And they are deeply loved by the receivers.
Her mother’s passion for knitting and generous spirit of helping others have inspired Emma to follow in her footsteps and she has taken up knitting as a hobby, too. By the age of 14, Emma has become especially good at making scarves and gloves. With beauty and practicality, Emma’s hand-made gifts never fail to impress her friends as well as her relatives.
Last week, the city was hit by a heavy snowstorm, which left many, particularly the homeless, in a desperate situation. As Emma made her way to school, she noticed a man shaking under the bridge near her school. It was a homeless man she often saw on the route. But today he looked particularly miserable(可怜的). His face was half-hidden under a piece of worn cloth that hardly served as protection against the cold. Touched by the sight, Emma approached the man and presented her scarf to the homeless man.
“For me, Miss ” asked the man in surprise. “It is too expensive!”
“Please don’t mind it. I have made it for myself and I can make another one in a few days!” Emma replied while she was wrapping the scarf around the poor man’s neck. “I hope it might keep you away from the terrible cold.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

Instantly, the man’s eyes brightened and a big smile appeared on his face.
