Few people realize that it takes the army of volunteers for one young child to have a half-hour riding lesson. I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association(VTEA)in Aldergrove. B. C., close to the Washington State border. It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers-approximately eighty-to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week. There is a large barn to clean, and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill. Specific feeds for each horse must he prepared twice daily The list is endless.
To prepare a horse for a ride, someone has to bring it in from outside, at times sinking into inches of black, sticky mud (luring the winter months. Usually, two volunteers groom(刷洗梳毛)the horse and put on the special saddle. Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place. There, one volunteer leads the horse, and usually two walk alongside for safety, one on each side. Then the horse must be returned to the barn, unsaddled, cleaned and fed.
Yet so many people willingly give their time-because the children need us. Ranging in age from two upwards, the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities. Some have severe physical handicaps(残疾). Riding strengthens their muscles and bones, enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life.
Throughout my past life as an accountant, business author and speaker, I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations. However, a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit-as was my head-causing severe brain injury. It was hard to accept a new "me" and her often-frustrating limitations, until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for. I'd loved horses from childhood, and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around, making me warm from the inside out. The journey back has been painful but worthwhile. Now, fourteen years later, I am a different, more simplified person.

A. The accident transformed her thoroughly.
B. Volunteering has brought her a win-win result.
C. She's never recovered from the injury.
D. She wasn't interested in voluntary work before.
27. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Helping Children in Need B. Surviving the Brain Injury
C. Volunteering: A Journey Back D. Horse-riding: Toughest Lessons
C
Men hunted. Women gathered. That has long been the common view of our prehistoric ancestors. But the discovery of a woman buried 9 000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools, and an analysis of other burial sites in the Americas challenges this widely accepted division of labor in hunter-gatherer society.
"Labor practices among recent hunter-gatherer societies are highly gendered, which might lead some to believe that sexist inequalities in things like pay or rank are somehow 'natural'," said lead study author Randy Haas, an assistant professor of anthropology(人类学)at University of California, Davis, in a news release. "But it's now clear that sexual division of labor was fundamentally different-likely more equal and reasonable-in our species' deep hunter-gatherer past."
The burial site was discovered in 2018 (luring excavations(发掘)at a high-altitude site called Wilamaya Patjxa in what is now Peru. The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals.
Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials. To examine whether this woman found at this site was an outlier, the researchers examined 429 skeletons(骷髅)at 107 burials sites in North and South America around 8 000 to 14 000 years ago. Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools-11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to "support the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely not unusual".
The findings add to doubts about "man-the-hunter" assumption that informed much thinking about early humans since the mid-20th century. They suggest hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals, the paper said. The weapon of choice at that time had low accuracy, encouraging broad participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood.
28. What does the recent burial site at Andes Mountains show?
A. The origin of sexual inequality. B. Hunting skills of ancient times.
C. The social system of prehistoric hunters. D. Job division of hunter-gatherer society.
29. Which of the following might Randy Haas agree with?
A. Gender plays no part in recent hunter-gatherer society.
B. Sexist inequality is a natural result of prehistoric society.
C. Ancient division of labor might be fairer than we'd thought.
D. Public ideas of women's role will be changed abruptly.
30. What does the underlined word "outlier" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Exception. B. Failure. C. Role model. D. Easy target.
31. What might make prehistoric hunting a community-based activity?
A. Lack of able-bodied individuals. B. Imperfection in hunting weapons.
C. Better accuracy of females in hunting. D. Need for large animals as food source.
D
Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is a process used by humans to develop new organisms with desirable traits(特点). It can be used to produce tastier fruits and vegetables, crops with greater resistance to pests, and larger animals that can be used for meat.
Perhaps the earliest example of selective breeding is the domestic dog. Scientists believe that the domestic clog evolved from the wild gray wolf, and through artificial selection, humans were able to create hundreds of different dog breeds. As people domesticated and bred dogs, they favored specific traits, like size or intelligence, for certain tasks, such as hunting, shepherding, or companionship. As a result, many dog breeds vastly differ in appearance, a unique phenomenon in the animal world, as different breeds of a single species generally look like each other. The Chihuahua and the Dalmatian, for instance, are both dogs, yet they share few physical features.
Selective breeding has also been practiced in agriculture for thousands of years. Almost every fruit and vegetable eaten today is a product of artificial selection. By picking out wild cabbage plants with specific characteristics, farmers were able to create a variety of vegetables from a single source, each with differing flavors. Broccoli, for example, was developed from wild cabbage plants that hadn't enough flower development while kale came from Brassica oleracea with larger leaves.
Corn is an unusual product of selective breeding. Unlike rice, wheat, and cabbage, which have clear ancestors, there is no wild plant that looks like corn. The earliest records of corn indicate that the plant was developed in southern Mexico 6 000-10 000 years ago from a grass called teosinte(墨西哥类蜀黍). Scientists believe that early Mexican farmers selected only the largest and tastiest seeds of teosinte for planting. This process allowed Mexicans to develop corn very quickly, as small changes in the plant's genetic makeup had dramatic effects on the grain's taste and size.
Without selective breeding, many of the plants and animals on earth today would not exist. However, every coin has two sides.
32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. Introduce a new topic for discussion. B. Add some background information.
C. Provide scientific data for readers. D. Explain a scientific study method.
33. Chihuahua and Dalmatian are mentioned to show .
A. selective breeding is very successful
B. selective breeding leads to biodiversity
C. selective breeding brings difference in appearance
D. selective breeding might bring about new species
34. What is special about corn as a product of selective breeding?
A. It has genetic makeup opposite to teosinte.
B. It is the earliest plant developed by Mexicans.
C. It hasn't an ancestor in Mother Nature.
D. It shares few physical similarities with its ancestors.
35. What might be discussed in the paragraphs following the last one?
A. More examples of selective breeding.
B. Disadvantages of selective breeding.
C. Influence of selective breeding on species.
D. Comparison between natural and selective breeding.

Personal development doesn't just happen. 36 Self-development requires hard work, devotion and an ever-growing skills. So, what new skills do you need to power forward?
On your journey toward your best self, you need to set goals. The key is balance: If your goals are too high, you'll get discouraged when you fall short. 37 The better approach is to think in milestones. If you want to be a novelist, don't set a goal to finish a book in a week. Focus on getting a couple of pages done each day, or on writing a chapter each week. This measurable progress is more sustainable and fulfilling.
38 To keep going when times are tough, you have to learn how to manage your stress levels. If light walks help you keep your head on straight, schedule one for your lunch period every day. If you need to take Sundays off to recharge for the next week, it's more than acceptable to do so.
Organization is a skill that comes more naturally to some people than others. If you're a naturally messy person, start small. Otherwise, you'll be at a loss. 39 Clean up your bedroom or your car. If physical cleaning is stressful, start by cutting out files from your computer. Believe it or not, one clean space can set the tone for the rest of your life.
On the road of personal development, you'll run into some barriers. Nobody but you can remove these from your path. 40 Perhaps anxiety is keeping you from doing your best work. Instead of struggling through it, quietly take a mental health day.
A. Personal growth needs stress management.
B. Focus on the places where you spend the most time.
C. You can't expect to wake up the next day with new skills.
D. Don't let personal challenges stand in the way of your growth.
E. That's why problem solving is a vital skill for self-development.
F. You absolutely don't need to disclose why you're taking a sick day.
G. Start too small, and you'll become satisfied with your progress too early.

Bioprinting is medically and bio-technologically similar to 3D printing. By using the same principles, the aim is to 56 (rapid)develop living structures similar to human-grown organs and tissue that can be used to treat people or test new drugs. Bioprinting may be a relatively new field but the results so far are 57 (encourage).
Australian researchers have used neural cells in a custom-made bioink to create a "desktop brain" 58 allows doctors to test brain function, new drugs and study brain disorders. Meanwhile, medicine scientists in the US have created a bioprinter able 59 (construct)ear, muscle and hone structures with the right size, 60 (strong) as well as function for implantation(植入).
One of the primary goals of bioprinting is to create functioning organs, for example, hearts. By printing compatible(兼容的)organs using a patient's own cells, the donor 6l (wait) list could become a thing of the past. To get 62 this point there have been some important breakthroughs in printing vascularized (血管化的)tissue in complex 3 D shapes.
Organ printing can improve 63 health of society in general by wiping off the problem of diseases 64 (cause)by organ failure, costly treatments and social care. That promise may be years away from realization but rapid typing enabled by bioprinting at present 65 (push) medical advances forward at pace.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I love parties. I love planning for them, making the invitations, planning the games and decorating my own cake. The only thing that I don't like is deciding on the guest list. When I was in grade school my mom would tell me the maximum number of friends that I could invite and it was always a number too small for my list.
I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at my school, so I just kind of floated around, accumulating friends from various backgrounds. There was an "in" crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school-if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would turn away in disgust(厌恶). It made getting dressed in the morning a very scary thing.
Shannon was one of my friends who seemed to unknowingly break the rules of "uncoolness" all the time. I don't know why she was targeted, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Shannon was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was somewhat overweight and didn't talk much. She was picked on a lot. Whenever there was an strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would giggle(咯咯笑)and point at her. Shannon never said anything, but it made me feel sick inside. Shannon was innocent, I thought.
One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at our house. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school.
"Why did you invite her?" asked one of my cool friends when it was discovered that I had invited Shannon. She pressured me to tell her not to come. There were other people I could add in her place who would be more acceptable.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Unsure what to do, I was put in a difficult situation.



Paragraph 2:
Weeks later, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for inviting her to the party.
