10、ful life in the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up. “We knew all our neighbors.” George told Detroits Metro Times. “On Christmas Eve, wed all go to midnight Mass, and thered be 300 people in our house at one oclock to about five in the morning. The folks were just really good, hardworking people.

11、 ”By the80s, however, the old neighborhood changed. Due in part to economic downturns and drug abuse, well -kept homes had been abandoned and kindly neighbors had fled to the suburbs(郊區(qū)). But not George. “Living in any city, its like being in a relationship,” he told Readers Digest. “Some days are b

12、etter than others. But it was my home. And when I saw it becoming worse, I had two choices: I could leave, or I could stay and fight. I chose the latter.”When the abandoned home behind his turned into a worn-out place, the father of two grabbed some boards and nails and began boarding up the house.

13、After two neighbors stopped to ask what he was doing, they decided to help, with great results.Thats how it all got started. In the 30 years since that first home rescue, an army of approximately 182,000 volunteers, along with private donors, has helped George pull down around 300 abandoned homes, m

14、ainly in die poorer Northwest area of Detroit. Theyve also secured 400 - some homes by boarding them up. Theyve painted and repaired nearly 900 homes and built over 100 from scratch. According to Forbes, more than 1,000 Detroiters have been housed as a result of their work.And theres Halloween. In D

15、etroit, October 30 was known as Devils Night, a period when all hell break loose in the form of crime and vandalism (破壞公物). In response, George created a citizens patrol(巡邏)that would take to the streets, keeping an eye on illegal behavior. He named it Angels Night What began with 12 neighbors on pa

16、trol in 1990 has grown to more than 60,000 citywide.Georges inspired ideas have not gone unnoticed by the city he loves. Others are buying into it. Theres a trend of younger homeowners coming in.1、What was Georges home city Detroit like before the 80s?ANeighbors were nice and got along very well.BPe

19、CA friend in need is a friend indeed.DLittle people can make a big difference.22（8分） Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and

20、fit neatly into the hand?Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and Chinas Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldab

21、le future”, The Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, theyre “the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all

22、 in a single device”.The technology could change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space.In a keynote address, Samsungs senior vice president

23、 of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen “the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (畫布) for us to do something beautiful together.” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Androi

24、d Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二極管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Hua

25、wei Mate X is 17,500 RMBThats a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isnt going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are t

26、he future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”1、What can be the best title for the text?AScreen devices on the market.BFoldable age is arriving.CPossible powers of a tablet.DFoldable screens are imperfect.2、What can we learn from Justin Denisons words?AThe foldable screen has grea

27、t potential.BThe Galaxy Fold still has many problems.CThe production of foldable phones will soon increase.DCompanies need to work together to develop foldable phone.3、What is the problem with foldable phones at the moment?AThey are easy to break.BThey are inconvenient to carry.CThey are not as usef

28、ul as expected.DThey are unaffordable for most families.4、What is the authors attitude toward the future of the foldable screen?AWorried.BCautious.CPositive.DUnconcerned.23（8分）China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need to breed lab monkeys and pa

29、ving the way for more accurate, effective and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday .By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(獼猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells

30、(體細(xì)胞)-any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the worlds first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割); but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit

31、the experimental need.Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(靈長類) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which i

32、s costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes.By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to sui

33、t our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on

34、mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different“Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,”he said. This is especially useful in testing dru

35、gs for neural(神經(jīng)的) diseases such as Parkinsons disease, metabolic syndrome(代謝綜合癥) and immune system diseases, and tumors, he added.“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains, he said. However, bio labs f

36、rom the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, Sun added.“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead, he said.1、Which of the followi

37、ng is the most important factor in cloning macaques named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua?AReproductive cells. BSomatic cellsCNeural mapping. DGenetic makeup2、Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?ABecause it is bad for our environment.BBecause each monkey might have different genes.CBecause monkeys genetic m

38、akeup is as complicated as humans.DBecause it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 8?AThe cure for neural diseases.BThe process of cloning monkeys.CThe significance of cloning monkeys.DThe close relations between monkeys and humans.4、What can we infer

39、 from this passage?AMore effective medicine will be produced.BDrug trials on lab mice will be abandoned.CChina is the first country to have cloned monkeys.DChina will stay ahead of the world in cloning.24（8分） Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap

40、，durable(耐用的)，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not，is transparent(透明的). Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholms KTH Royal Institute of Technology，the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead resea

41、rcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices. The team began by pulling out the woods lignin(木質(zhì)素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped

42、into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected

43、 and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, he transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromo

44、lecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also

45、 thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency. Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with thi

46、s new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1、What does the underlined part that feature in

47、 Paragraph 1 refer to?ACheapness.BDurability.CSustainability.DTransparency.2、Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?ADip the wood into a polymer.BReduce the amount of the polymer.CMake the wood lignin-free.DBake the wood for some time.3、Which of the following

48、 is true according to the text?ABerglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.BVarying the amount of the polymer changes the woods hardness.CThe cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.DThe transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.4、What is th

49、e last paragraph mainly about？AThe bright future of the transparent wood.BThe woods role in the design of solar panels.CThe disadvantages of the currently used glass.DSolar energy manufacturers carbon footprint.25（10分） A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save t

50、he life ofher owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Years Eve tocollect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just longjohns(襯褲), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temp

51、erature was around-4CAfter the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to hisassistance.“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was10:30 pm,” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was goneand I could

52、nt yell for help, but Kelsey didnt stop barking.”Kelseys companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and handsto keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side,” Bob recalled. “She keptme warm. I knew I couldnt give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.”Bob

53、 spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog keptbarking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bobs neighbor discovered him at 6:30 pm on NewYears Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his bodytemperature was below 21CHowever, doct

54、ors were surprised to find that he didnt have anyfrostbite(凍瘡). They believed it was because of Kelseys determination to keep him warm. Dr.Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really savedhim. He was very fortunate.Bob said he was “enormously” grateful to both

55、 Dr. Colen and his Kelsey. “They savedmy life. They are truly heroes!”1、What happened to Bob on New Years Eve?AHe left his dog alone in his farmhouse.BHe was praised for saving a dog owner.CHe broke his neck and couldnt move.DHe heard his neighbors shouting for help.2、Why did Kelsey keep barking?ATo

56、 keep warm.BTo stay alive.CTo keep Bob awake.DTo seek help from others.3、How does Dr. Colen feel about Kelsey?AHelpful.BFortunate.CGrateful.DFriendly.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?AA Neck-breaking AccidentBThe Magic NightCWarmth on a Winters NightDDetermination to Keep Alive第三部分 語言知識運(yùn)用

There was a very friendly lady 1 alone at the next table. When the time came for her to pay the 2 , her bank card was declined. The waitress

58、 told her, in a very kind way, that there was a 3 but that she would call her manager for help. Seeing this, my husband 4 got up and told the waiting staff that we would pay for the ladys meal. 5 , when the manager arrived, he explained to the lady that although she couldnt use her 6 , there was no

59、need to 7 . Pizza Express authorizes(授權(quán)) the restaurant to 8 two free meals per month and on this 9 , they would like to provide her with a free meal.She was extremely grateful and apologetic that she had been 10 to pay. We were relieved that the lady had been 11 with dignity instead of being placed

60、 in a 12 position.Then, the manager 13 our table. He said that, 14 we had shown such generosity, he would like to donate the second free meal that the restaurant was able to 15 to us! We were absolutely 16 ! I had never heard of any chain restaurant behaving in such a(n) 17 way. We were quite 18 wit
