阅读下列短文、从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The climate change and environmental crises are now closely connected with our daily lives.
We've collected a smell selection of our favourite documentaries, charting the history and future
of the challenges we face.
KISS THE GROUND
The documentary adopts a light voice when exploring the power of
the world's soils to draw in carbon from the air. The film begins by
examining how farming and pesticides have led to soil loss, tracking the
damage done to ecology, health and climate. The solution is found through
regenerative farming-a field receiving more and more attention.

ICE ON FIRE
Dramatically titled, Leonardo DiCaprio's 2019 documentary focuses

on the melting polar ice caps of the Arctic. The documentary explores the
planetary impact of melting ice, but intelligently includes solutions. DiCaprio explores renewable energy technologies and sustainable economies to put forward a vision for a cleaner future.



CHASING CORAL

It can be difficult to really understand what climate breakdown looks
.In 2017,Chasing Coral brought the very real impacts of climate change into sharp focus. The insight into the world's corals suffering from ocean acidification and temperature rise is impressive.



REBUILDING PARADISE
Wildfires once a natural regulator of ecosystems, now an increasing phenomenon thrown out of rhythm by climate change-are so frequent that many hardly consider the consequence. While it's one thing to deal with the financial loss and restoration, it's something quite different to repair the broken spirit of a community. In Rebuilding Paradise, we follow the journey of the citizens of Paradise, California, as they attempt to restart their lives from the ashes of the destructive 2018 wildfires.

21. Which documentary shows the role of soil in dealing with climate change?
A. KISS THE GROUND B. ICE ON FIRE
C. CHASING CORAL D. REBUILDING PARADISE
22. What can be learned from REBUILDING PARADISE?
A. Wildfires nowadays break out as frequently as before.
B. Wildfires have both physical and psychological impacts.
C. The damage caused by wildfires can never be recovered.
D. Wildfires do more harm to economy than to the environment.
23. What do the four documentaries have in common?
A. They focus on the speed of the global wanning.
B. They relate to the global issue of climate change.
C. They analyze the frequency ofthe natural disasters.
D. They present solutions to dealing with the challenges.
B
"Twelve years ago, I was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo （跆拳道）when a disease went undiagnosed and wiped out my muscular system. I finally ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure." Kaufman recalled, "I went from living this big life to not knowing how I was going to survive. Fortunately, on my birthday in 2009,I received a new heart and was given a second chance at life!"
After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit, Ava's Heart. She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, co-pays on medicines, and housing.
“What I found out was that if you didn't have post-transplant housing, you couldn't get listed and admitted into the hospital," Kaufman said. She learned that for the nearly 110,000 people in the US waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, it was not just a matter of adding your name to the list. Patients must be financially secure and be able to afford transportation. What's more, they must find accommodations near their transplant hospital. Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allows the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, typically about three months at no cost.
Her organization also helps donor families, which she thinks makes the whole circle complete. "One organ donor can save eight lives and then there's tissue and skin and eyes and blood vessels（血管）and so many other things," Kaufman said, "The donor is the whole story. Without the donor, there are no transplant centers, no transplant surgeons, no me. In my eyes, the donors are the heroes." .
To date, Ava's Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved countless lives. Kaufman also works closely with those who receive donations to build relationships with donor families and spread awareness about the importance of organ donation.
24. Why did Kaufman talk about her memory in Paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the significance of life.
B. To recall her plain and boring days.
C. To indicate her motivation for paying back.
D. To confirm her enthusiasm for the profession.
25. For a transplant patient, admission into the hospital requires the following EXCEPT .
A. health insurance . B. nearby housing
C. financial security D. affordable transportation
26. Which of the following best describes Kaufman?
A. Brave and caring. B. Grateful and warm-hearted.
C. Considerate and hardworking. D. Sympathetic and easy-going.
27. What message does the text mainly convey?
A. It's better to give than to receive.
B. The blessed bear the heart of giving.
C. Health matters much more than wealth.
D. Volunteering makes the world a better place.
C
Paisley is a distinctive pattern used to decorate fabrics and make countless clothes lively. This pattern also has a uniquely rich history dating back hundreds of years, spreading across multiple continents.
Paisley's most obvious feature is the large swooshing （涡旋shapes called boteh. Many experts believe the shape is actually an artistically designed tree, which was a powerful religious' symbol in India for thousands of years. Besides, the pattern could also represent flowers, the sun, a phoenix, or even an eagle. The exact meaning is lost to history, even though the pattern lives
The pattern eventually made its way to the Western world in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became the height of fashion for the time. Silk scarves bearing the pattern could be as expensive as a small house. Owing to its popularity, especially in Great Britain, it was quickly duplicated and mass-produced. One of the major manufacturing centers of the pattern was Paisley, Scotland, which is how the pattern got its English name.
In the early 20th century, the popularity of the pattern faded for a time. Eventually, it exploded back onto the fashion scene with the help of a surprising force: rock'n'roll. It started in the 1960s with the Beatles, who not only wore paisley but used the patterns in colorful artwork. Other rock legends like the Rolling Stones, Janice Joplin, and David Bowie kept the trend going well into the 1970s. Paisley was suddenly cool and glamorous again, at least temporarily.
Since then, however, the popularity of the pattern has slowly declined. It still pops up on fashion runways and as a colorful accessory （配饰）for some clothes, but paisley is just one of many elegant patterns. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean it won't make a comeback again.
28. According the text, what is boteh?
A.A universal symbol of art B.Asacredtreeplantedin India
C.Thetypical shape found in paisley D. The manufacturing process of paisley
29. what docs the underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Transformed. B. Protected. C. Abolished. D. Copied.
30. why does the author mention the rock 'n'roll stars in Paragraph 4?
A. They preserved the value of paisley.
B. They studied the history of fashion.
C. They helped paisley regain its popularity.
D. They looked extremely cool and glamorous.
31. What can be concluded about paisley from the text?
A. It won't withdraw entirely from the fashion world.
B. It was discovered in Britain and thus got its English name.
C. It has been regarded as a typical representative of pop culture.
D. It demonstrates the close connection between religion and fashion.
D
Humans, by nature, have always lived in groups and social interaction is fundamental for every part of our health. Lack of it can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. A strong support network and solid community bonds promote our emotional and physical health； and arc critical components of a balanced adult life.
However, just as with many other aspects of our lives, there seems to be a limit to how large our personal networks can grow.
Back in 1992, a British scholar named Robin Dunbar came up with a hypothetical .（假设的） number defining the maximum sum of meaningful human relationships a person can have. The number, which was later named after him, was discovered accidentally while he was studying the cleaning and brushing tendencies — a social behavior — of non-human primates （灵长类动物）. Around that time, researchers had discovered that the large brain of these primates was a result of their socially complex societies. The relevance was that the larger the brain, the larger the animal's social group was likely to be. Scientists could then theoretically use an animal's brain size to calculate how many members could make up this group. Dunbar applied this theory to humans, and the resulting number was roughly 150.
Dunbar's Number, however, only refers to the limit of meaningful contacts within our social network. It does not account for other relationships. Human social relationships tend to have numerous layers, and extend outward from the individual in circles with the same centre. The innermost circle contains five people: our loved ones. The next circle holds of our good friends. The third circle is reserved for people we consider friends, and the fourth is where the limit of 150 can be found. Nowadays, with various forms of electronic communication, such as 'websites for social networking and microblogging, people find it very convenient to create online communities to share information, ideas, persona] messages, and other contents. Consequently, it is possible for a human to get into the fifth（500 acquaintances）, circle, an impressive breakthrough that was difficult to achieve in the past
32. What can be learned about Dunbar's Number in Paragraph 2?
A. It is confirmed by the social reality.
B. It serves as an accurate measurement.
C. It is backed by a certain theoretical basis；
D. It establishes links between health and network.
33. Which of the following diagrams illustrates human social relationships?

34.Whyis iteasy today to go beyond the fourth circle of human relationships?
A. Human brains are becoming bigger and bigger
B. Social media have contributed to the phenomenon.
C. Meaningful contacts grow significantly with age.
D. People are eager to improve every aspect of their lives.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Group Living: A Solution to Health Problems
B.Dunbar's Theory:A Ladderto Career Success.
C.Social Network: A Source of Endless Pleasure
D. Dunbar's Number: A Measure of Social Relations

Finally， set concrete goals. 40 For example, "I'm going to go running every day to train for a half-marathon in April" would be far more powerful than "I'm going to gel in better “shape this year”.

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。
For nearly four months, the little dog, Indiana, fortunately survived in the woods with a wounded shoulder. She'd been mistaken for a wolf and shot while running wild with her mother, Dakota. An animal control officer said they were the most strongly bonded pair he'd ever seen and the two dogs refused to leave each other's side, even while trying to escape being caught.
As a result of the gunshot, Indiana lost both her leg and her mother, for the two were sent to different adoption groups. While Indiana was learning to walk on three legs down south, Dakota was 1,000 miles north in New England. The first adoption family returned her two days later. They said the dog couldn't bond with humans, kept them up all night, and wasn't suitable to live in a home. Eventually, Dakota found her forever home with me on Long Island. I have experience with such dogs, and Dakota, a husky （哈士奇犬），just needed attention and someone who understood how to approach her. I always let her come up to me. I gave her the time and space to explore and feel comfortable. She soon let me put a belt on her and would lie on the sofa with me quietly.
When I, accidentally, read the post of Dakota's first adopter, it mentioned that the little dog Dakota had been running with was shot, and, I thought, killed. I'm a broadcast news journalist, so I always did some survey and, by chance, heard a story from a South Carolina TV news outlet about a dog that recently had her front leg cut off because of an old gunshot wound. And anyone who wanted to adopt Indiana was required to have a six-foot fence because she kept jumping over the one at the care shelter in South Carolina. There was no mistaking it — she looked exactly like Dakota. Indiana wasn't killed by the gunshot, ,just badly injured.
1.续写词数应为150 左右；

More Exercise, Better Health
Nowadays, many students haven't realized how important exercise is and don't work out regularly, listing various reasons such as lack of lime or exhaustion from studying. However, taking regular exercise docs us students good, helping reduce stress and improve learning efficiency. Therefore, we should give priority to exercise however busy or tired we are. We can incorporate exercise into everyday routines, like squeezing in ten minutes daily for a jog.
Let's take action and exercise more from now!
读后续写：
While Dakota loved me and her new home, she still missed her kid. She would utter mournful howls whenever I took her out for walks in the woods. It seemed as if she was calling for her puppy to come back. The exact scene made me heart-broken, and I took action all at once, determined to reunite mother and pup. I called the TV station, asking for conditions about the little dog, only to be told that Indiana was receiving medical treatment for falling on the ground when jumping over the fence.
I decided to bring three-legged Indiana to my home. Instantly they got reunited, Dakota couldn't stop licking her puppy's face. Happy and excited, the two dogs were wagging their tails wildly. The heart-warming scene moved anyone on the spot. Dakota has since stopped her sorrowful howls while Indiana has never tried to jump over the fence. These once-separated dogs played together, chasing each other around the room and slept together with their noses resting on each other. If there is to be any devotion, it will come through any species.
