Where does this passage come from?A. a textbook B. a magazine C. the Internet D. an announcementBWhen the tornado(龍卷風(fēng)) passed, Lewis returned to her house after that awful night, and the Bible was the first thing she looked for. She had bought it 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many folks, shed used it to preserve the familys history: decades-old photos, newspaper obituaries(訃告) of loved ones, a handkerchief from her great-grandmother, even a piece of a scarf her uncle had brought back from the Korean War.The Bible was not where shed last seen it, on top of an antique dresser in her bedroom. The only thing left was the solid pieces of marble that had been on the top of the furniture. After an hour of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her and found the Bible while clearing through ruins. She had tears streaming down her cheeks. It had flown about ten feet from the dresser. Surprisingly, while many books had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still intact, even though it had sat in the rain for days. “It was a miracle,” says Lewis.A few of the Bibles treasures did go missing. Yet ever so slowly, they, too, began reappearing in Lewiss life. Days after the Bible was found, volunteers discovered one of the newspaper obituaries outside the home. Two weeks later, a neighbor found another newspaper clipping（剪輯） by her house. “It was a shock,” says Lewis. Now the Bible already has its well-deserved place of honor, on the dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.25. What does the underlined word “intact” probably refer to?A. Unfolded B.

Antique Treasures Are Never GoneD. Family Treasures Are Along With USCYou cant see your sleeping pets brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, youll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes youll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids ,her paws twitch(抽動(dòng)）and she flicks(尤指用手指或手快速地輕撫）an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting（嘟囔）noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she cant run about. She is in a state of sleep paralysis（麻痹）”. Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldnt see and arched(弓起) their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously，the dreaming cats seemed to be practicing important cat skills: following, pouncing（猛撲）, and fightingIn another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes（迷宮）. One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about！Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.28. What does Michel Jouvet find in his study？A. The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B. The dreaming cats often practice their important skills.C. The eyes of dreaming cats moved while bodies are still.D. The muscles of the dreaming cats are blocked to move.29. What can you infer from the third and the fourth paragraphs?A. Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B. Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn. C. Rats often dreams to make certain their recent learning.D. Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.30. Which animal may dream most frequently?A. Rats. B. Dogs. C. Cows. D. Elephants.31. How does the author develop his passage?A. By making comparisons. B. By using figures. C. By telling stories. D. By showing facts.DNowadays six Amazon Scout delivery robots rolled out in a pilot program in Snohomish County, Wash. The robots carry meals, groceries and packages to homes and offices in this region just north of Seattle. They have appeared on the sidewalks of London, Beijing and other cities and communities worldwide. These machines must overcome pedestrian legs, naughty dogs and broken pavement, which raises some questions.These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled delivery for just about everything. Between 2017 and 2018 online retail sales in the U.S. increased by 16 percent. On the final step of all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans on bicycles, motorized scooters ( 電動(dòng)車) or large delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles compete for space on busy urban streets. “Deliveries are trending upwards in all crowded city centers, and if city and state leaders dont start thinking about creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, director of a transportation policy research center in Arlington.A study by this center found 73 percent of delivery vehicles in Arlington were parked outside of authorized areas, often blocking bike lanes and crosswalks. By moving the last step of deliveries from the road to the sidewalk, cities could reduce traffic jams and solve the parking problem entirely, Mackie says.Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 percent, according to a 2018 report by a consultancy firm. A delivery robot can cost thousands of dollars to manufacture, and most currently require human management and conservation. But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated.32Why does Amazon introduce delivery robots ?ATo amuse its customers.BTo avoid pedestrians, dogs and broken pavement.CTo meet the increasing demand of delivering packages.DTo confirm the companys innovation spirit.33What does Paul Mackie mean by his words in paragraph 2?ARetail sales in the U.S. increased fast.BDeliveries stay steady in all crowded city centers.CRegardless of robot deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same.DRobot can help ease the traffic pressure.34What can robots delivery bring to the city?ABlock bike lanes and crosswalks. BRelieve urban traffic as well as save delivery costs.CIncrease danger to pedestrians.DLead to traffic jams.35Which word can best describe the future of the robot delivery?AUncertain.BHopeless.CPromising.DUnacceptable.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.
