A few years ago, Liza and John moved from Yorkshire down to Coventry when it was just the two of them. Soon enough their first child, Henry, came along and they soon realized they were about to outgrow their current small house. They needed a home with more space to keep up with their growing family and to give their children a better upbringing (抚育), especially safe enough to live.

Being able to buy a big house within the competitive Coventry housing market would be a challenge. The pair searched for their new home for almost four years. Tired, Liza and John weren’t so sure they would be so lucky. Yet nothing had shaken Liza, who believed she would give her children a better place though. Eventually however, Liza took a chance and went to see a house and immediately fell in love with the place. She felt it could be the perfect move for them and told her husband that night. It really did tick all the boxes for them.

She loved the fact that the house had a beautiful enclosed garden and she could picture the children running around and playing in the safe space in particular. After John also found himselfsmittenwith the house, he and Liza realized that throughout the house-hunting process things always happen for a reason — treasuring a hope to life and keeping going is so important.

Since moving in, the couple have both been able to develop their hobbies more. Liza loves playing the piano and now has the space to work on her passion, while John has changed their separate “secret” attic room, using it for all of his James Bond memorabilia (纪念品). Meanwhile, the pair have even managed to keep a connection to their beloved old home by selling the house to close friends of theirs.

24. What was Liza concerned about most when finding a new home?

A. The price of the house. B. The scenery around the house.

C. The safety of their children. D. The location of the house.

25. What can we know from paragraph 2?

A. The house met all their needs. B. Liza was upset in finding the house.

C. They can’t afford the house. D. The house has a beautiful garden.

26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “smitten” in paragraph 3?

A. Concerned. B. Familiar. C. Puzzled. D. Fascinated.

27. What made the pair keep looking for a house?

A. Comfort and convenience of the life in the city.

B. Funding and support from their old friends.

C. Preference and interest in better education.

D. Determination and hope in building a better home.

C

Many people dream of seeing things in the dark. Now their dream comes true. According to a press release from The Australian National University, by wearing a pair of glasses, you can drive safely at night, walk home in the dark, or explore dark forests and caves without holding a flashlight!

The technology is composed of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of regular glasses. Compared to traditional night vision devices, it is inexpensive to make, easy to mass-produce, and lightweight. The thin film is made of nanometer-level substances that arehundreds of times thinner than a human hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive.

“Our technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光) into images,” lead researcher Dr. Rocio Camacho Morales said in the press release.

Over the years scientists have studied animals active at night by using infrared cameras, and infrared imaging has been used for body scans in the medical world and for food quality control in the industrial world. Conventional infrared imaging devices work by detecting the heat of an object. The infrared detectors use a cooler and are also sensitive to thermal noise (热噪声). Such disadvantages led the team into exploring an improved device.

Their new device is able to function at room temperature. The new technology is not large or heavy like previous technologies. Once this new night vision device is available to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to find their way better at night, especially when driving on rough roads. Police can use it when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.

28. How does the author explain the new technology’s advantages in paragraph 2?

A. By providing data. B. By giving examples.

C. By presenting experiments. D. By making comparisons.

29. What can we know about the new technology?

A. It will replace all the conventional devices.

B. It is sensitive to thermal noise.

C. It takes advantage of nanometer-level substances.

D. It uses a cooler to function at room temperature.

30. Who rarely uses conventional infrared imaging?

A. Doctors. B. Drivers. C. Scientists. D. Companies.

31. What does the last paragraph focus on about the new technology?

A. Its practical applications. B. Its potential consumers.

C. Its future improvements. D. Its working conditions.

D

It is a well-known fact that plastic bottles, which take hundreds of years to rot, are harmful to our environment. However, efforts by environmentalists to encourage consumers to switch to alternatives, like water fountains or reusable bottles, have not been very effective. The U.S. alone uses over 50 million plastic bottles annually, 80% of which end up in landfills.

To try to stop that, Rodrigo García González, Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche from the Imperial College London have been working on a revolutionary solution — water wrapped inside an eatable container made mostly from seaweed. All the customer has to do to relieve his/her thirst is pop the entire drop into the mouth.

The inventors, who have been working on the Ooho bubble since 2014, use a simple two-step cooking process called spherification (球化) to create the delicate container. They begin by dipping a frozen ball of water or juice into a chemical solution (溶液). This helps form a layer around the liquid. The ball is then absorbed in a solution made from seaweed extract. This creates a second layer, helping strengthen the structure so that the water or juice does not leak. In addition to saving our environment, the biodegradable (可降解的) packaging costs just two cents each, making it cheaper to produce than plastic.

After three years of perfecting the design, the inventors, who recently raised over 1 million USD from a financial activity, are ready to bring the Ooho bubble to local market. However, there are a few challenges that still need to be overcome before the product’s launch. In addition to getting accustomed to the taste of the covering, each eatable container contains just a mouthful of water, requiring consumers to drink multiple bubbles to relieve their thirst. There is also the issue of finding an eco-friendly packaging to transport the bubbles so that they remain clean and do not burst. Hopefully, the inventors will find ways to handle the issues so that we can reduce, or perhaps even remove, plastic bottles.

32. Why was the Ooho bubble created?

A. To test a newly-designed material. B. To change consumers’ drinking habit.

C. To reduce pollution caused by plastic. D. To take a share of drinking water industry.

33. What will the inventors probably do next?

A. Solve some specific problems of the product. B. Collect more money to expand production.

C. Distribute the Ooho bubble to global market. D. Advertise the advantages of the Ooho bubble.

34. What is the author’s attitude towards the Ooho bubble’s launch?

A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Opposed.

35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. Scientists Work out a New Kind of Water

B. Plastic Bottles Will Be Replaced by the Ooho Bubble

C. Environmental Pollution is Expected to Be Solved

D. The Ooho Bubble Aims to Remove Plastic Bottles

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are there too many books you’re never going to read again on your bookshelf? Whether to start a little library with your book pals or to offer them as gifts to the younger ones is a good deed to do.36

Donating your old books is a painless way to give.37It’ll arrange an offline book fair near your place if booked online, and in most cases it will fetch the books from you. Books2Africa accepts new and used books in English, French and any African language.

38Most of them work in much the same way: you enter your book’s bar code (条形码) or ISBN number, and they’ll tell you its value. You post your books, and they offer payment. Or you can try checking how much your copy is worth on Abe Books. It’s worth remembering that books don’t have to be particularly old to be valuable.39

For something a bit more community-driven, try joining a book exchange. BookMooch works on a points system: you receive a point for each book you mail to someone else, which you can then “spend” on someone else’s book.40BookCrossing is the act of releasing your books “into the wild”, aiming to connect people through literature.

So, if you have a pile of old books gathering dust, why not make them worthwhile for someone on the other end of the line?

A. A book in need brings a friend indeed.

B. And here are some ways to get rid of them online.

C. There’s a pleasingly random selection of books on offer.

D. Bookshops also accept old books according to their values.

E. The Children’s Book Project aims to help by gifting books.

F. Sure, you can list your old books on the second-hand online bookshops.

G. A first-editionHarry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stoneis worth ￡70,000.

Saved by the Belt

My family is one of the lucky ones. We still have what we consider most precious — each other. It is Kathy Hezlep, our superstar, that has saved our family. Sitting at the porch, I am transported to the accident ten years ago.

As a mother, I have been blessed. I have a nice, smart, good-looking son who has given me much pleasure over the years. In the months leading up to Alan’s 16th birthday, there was a lot of excitement about his upcoming rite (仪式) of passage — the driver’s license.

About a month before his birthday, there was an assembly about seat belt safety presented at his high school. One of the presenters in this program, Kathy Hezlep, had lost her son in a horrible car crash the year before. When Kathy was first asked to speak at this assembly, she was reluctant. Her son’s death had been extremely hard on her. She often felt helpless and discouraged, and she wasn’t sure how she could make a difference by speaking with this group.

But the school had convinced her to talk to the students. Kathy spoke about how hard it had been since the loss of her son. There were days when it was an effort just to get out of bed. She spoke directly from her heart and my son took her words straight into his heart. I remember Alan coming home that day and the two of us talking about the crash. We thought it was quite a coincidence that she was a single mother (like me) and that her son, Ryan, was her only child (like Alan).

Well, the big day finally arrived. The state of Florida, in its infinite wisdom, granted my “child” a license to get a car and drive it! At the time, I thought the worst feeling I could possibly experience was watching my only child drive off alone in my car. I was wrong.

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。

Alan had his license one week when the police called me that Alan had an accident with his friends.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节读后续写(25’)

Paragraph 1:

Alan had his license one week when the police called me that Alan had an accident with his friends.The police informed me my son had been driving down a curving road and lost control of the car. Since he was an inexperienced driver, he didn’t know how to come out of the spin. He managed to miss a lake and a traffic sign in his path, but went full force into a light pole. Thankfully, he wasn’t going faster, because if he had hit the pole any harder, he and his two passengers could have been killed.

After I arrived at the hospital, I talked to Alan about the accident.He said that none of the kids had been wearing their seat belts when he started the car. But Kathy Hezlep’s words, spoken so sincerely about her terrible loss, had impressed him so deeply that he insisted that everyone put on their seat belts immediately. That was what had saved their lives. I have unending gratitude, respect and love for Kathy Hezlep. She is not a celebrity but an everyday person; a mother who overcame her immeasurable loss, had the courage to speak out and make a difference that saved three lives.
