Yuan Longping, known for developing the first hybrid rice strain that pulled countless people out of hunger, passed away at 91. People from all walks of life express grief(悲恸)at the death of the great man.

"Three times a day, when we enjoy the fragrance of rice, you will be dearly remembered," said a comment that has been liked more than 600, 000 times.

Spending over fifty years in hybrid rice research, the scientist has helped China create a great wonder. He succeeded in feeding nearly one-fifth of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's total land. In 1949, Yuan applied for Southwest Agricultural College and began his special connection with rice-a main food of the Chinese people. From then, this became the focus of his lifelong research career.

A discovery of a special wild rice species by Yuan in the southern island of Hainan in 1970 became the start of China's decades of hybrid rice research. Three years later, he cultivated (培育)the world's first high-yielding hybrid rice strain. Since then it has been grown across the country and farmers got unbelievable output after planting it.

While food shortages have long been thought as China's past, Yuan, the fighter, has a much bigger dream-to save the world from hunger. More importantly, he was selfless when it came to sharing his research to benefit people globally. Since the 1980s, Yuan's team has offered training courses in dozens of countries in Africa, the Americas and Asia-providing a strong food source in areas with a high risk of famine(饥荒).

24. What can we infer from the comment mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. We can learn from Yuan Longping.

B. We will achieve Yuan Longping's dream.

C. Yuan Longping will be memorized forever.

D. We can make comments on his achievements.

25. Which can best describes the great wonder created by Yuan Longping?

A. Demanding.      B. Academic.     C. Amazing.      D. Costly.

26. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Hybrid rice.       B. The research.

C. The discovery.     D. The southern island of Hainan.

27. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Yuan Longping's selfless personality.

B. The connection between Yuan Longping and food.

C. Yuan Longping's efforts in Chinese development.

D. Yuan Longping's influences in international agriculture.

In this fast-developing world, it can be said that technology has killed culture and traditions. Radio was known as a stress reliever in the past, but the digitalization of music has done great damage to the radio industry. Radio stations no longer have a large audience that they once had. People can now easily download music from the Internet, or listen to it online.

In the technology-dependent era, George Oliver realized that it was nearly impossible to live a life without the Internet. If radio should be brought back and compete with the existing music streaming platforms, he has to take the radio online. On October 28, 2015, he founded Realmnuzic.net.

Launching an online radio site and maintaining it was no easy job. George had to get his head into technology. He faced and overcame many challenges, and turned a deaf ear to those who always laughed at his idea. His passion for bringing back the golden times for radio was much stronger than any of these difficulties. George and his DJs team put in all their efforts, and used all their knowledge and every bit of energy to make this happen.

Just like any other business, Realmnuzic.net began with a rough start. Not many people knew about this online radio station and were too absorbed in the new tech to turn to the radio-centric music streaming service. Giving up was not an option, so they decided to target the 80's and 90's kids with their nostalgic (怀旧的)playlists and carefully selected song collections that played 24/7 on Realmuzic.net. Their decision was right: they saw a huge increase in their site-visits. Their next step was to bridge the gap between younger generations and radio.

28. Why do many people fail to choose radio stations now?

A. They needn't relieve stress any more.         B. Culture and traditions are not respected.

C. They have easier access to music online.      D. Digitalization has damaged music industry.

29. What can we learn about George from the text?

A. He was optimistic about the radio.           B. He was determined to take the radio online.

C. He refused to listen to others' suggestions.     D. He achieved his goal without difficulty.

30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. George managed to overcome the difficulties.

B. George expected to gain much from Realmuzic.net.

C. George decided to target audience of all ages.

D. George began to explore his new career.

31. What might be the most suitable title for this text?

A. The Rise of Realmuzic.net       B. George Oliver's Life Story

C. The Development of Radio      D. Challenges to the Radio Industry

D

China's famed wandering elephants are on the move again. The group left a wildlife reserve in the southwest of Yunnan province more than a year ago and has traveled 500 kilometers north to the outskirts of the provincial capital of Kunming. The direction of their travel could be a good sign, since authorities are hoping to lead them back to their original home in the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture southwest of Kunming.

Authorities have been attempting to keep a distance between them and local residents, while blocking roads into villages and seeking to trick them away with food drops. Despite that, the herd of 15 have attacked farms, strolled down urban streets and searched for snacks in villages and even a retirement home.

All of the animals are reported to be safe and sound and no person has been injured in conflict with them. Officials have issued strict orders to seek to drive them off using firecrackers or other means. China's roughly 300 wild elephants enjoyed the highest level of protected status. on a par with the country's unofficial mascot(吉祥物), the panda bear. Additional emergency workers, vehicles and drones have been arranged to monitor the elephants' movements and protect local resident. Some 2.5 tons of food were laid out for the animals.

It remains unclear why the elephants began such a long journey, although Evan Sun, wildlife campaign manager with World Animal Protection, said possible reasons could include the lack of food supply, a rise in the elephant population and.most importantly, loss of habitat. "The increase of human-elephant conflicts reflects the urgency for a more strategic policy and plan to protect these endangered wild animals and their natural habitats," Sun wrote in an email.

This also creates a great opportunity to educate the public about the challenges that wild animals face for survival and the need for better protection from a government, industry and society level. We need to adopt a variety of creative measures to help both creatures coexist, not just keep a distance from them.

32. Which can best replace the underlined words "on a par with" in paragraph 3?

A. Equal to.     B. Familiar with.     C. Ready for.      D. Proud of.

33. What does Evan Sun respond to this phenomenon?

A. Sympathetic.      B. Positive.     C. Concerned.     D. Cautious.

34. What can we expect of the elephants in the future?

A. They will be focused on more and protected better.

B. They will become a hot issue to educate the public.

C. They must keep a safe distance from humans.

D. They could get all-around attention from the government.

35. Where can you read the text?

A. In a geography book.   B. In a book review.   C. In a science fiction.   D. On the Internet.

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。

After retiring from a long career teaching English at Huntington East High School, my brother, Bob, planned to travel around the world. However, I was visiting him in the hospital where he had undergone a heart operation. He had a long way to recovery ahead.

Bob didn't have much experience with being a patient. Certainly not as much as I did. He had always been healthy and kept in good shape, working part-time as a volunteer since retirement. I had grown up with chronic(慢性的)illness, had dozens of surgeries. Even now I was facing a puzzling condition my doctors hadn't yet identified. A condition that gave me symptoms similar to the ones Bob's heart illness gave him. I didn't want to burden him with my own fears right now. I touched his arm, wondering if I would soon face the same questions. "I sure wasn't expecting anything like this," Bob said. "A failing heart. I can't believe it."

"I know it's a shock. But we're all here for you. You're so blessed and loved. Your wonderful wife, kids, grandkids. More friends than you can count. I never go anywhere that someone isn't saying something wonderful about your teaching days."

"Thanks. You always say the sweetest things." But I heard an "If you say so" in his voice. I tried to reassure Bob about how valuable his life was, but I was trying to convince myself about my own life as well. I'd spent so much of my time trying to help others, both before my retirement as a nurse and now as a storyteller. But the world was full of those. Would anything I'd done really last after I was gone?

One day, a housekeeper entered the room with her mop and nodded to Bob in his bed. "Hey, Coach!" she said. "Huh?" Bob said. I could tell he didn't know who she was. The housekeeper smiled. "I knew it was you. My daughter played on your soccer team. I still remember her reciting all those lines of poetry. She loves poems to this day. What a great effect you have had on her! I should thank you very much." I was very surprised when hearing these.

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。

I shouted excitedly, "You once coached soccer? How great you are!"

Both Bob and I got good news from doctors.
