Born on May 27,1907 in Springdale,Pennsylvania, Rachel Carson became an avid explorer as well as reader, and took an interest in writing stories.By age 10, she had published her first story in St. Nicholas. She would often read this magazine, as well as many others that concerned the natural world. In 1925, she finished at the top of her class in high school in a class of 45 students.
Carson would go on to attend the Pennsylvania College for Women,which is known as Chatham University now. This is where she would end up pursuing the sciences,in this case biology. She would eventually attend Johns Hopkins University in 1929, continuing her studies in zoology and genetics.
Carson completed her Master' s in zoology in June of 1932, and went to work at a local radio station. Here she would write educational broadcasts for a weekly radio show called Romance Under the Waters. This led her to her job at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, and she became just the second woman to be employed by the bureau.
In 1951, Carson had her book The Sea Around Us published,which explains the complexity of the ocean to non-scientists. Carson wrote the book with poetry and science, and she intended to spark in her readers a sense of the fragility of the world' s ecosystem. The Sea Around Us made Carson the voice of public science in America, an internationally recognized authority on the oceans,and established her reputation as a nature writer of the first rank.
In 1962,Carson became well-known when her most famous book Silent Spring was published. This book described the negative effects of pesticides on the environment. Her concern with pesticides dated back to the 1940s,but no one would take her seriously until this book was finally published. On April 14th,1964,Carson passed away due to a heart attack but her work towards preserving the environment has continued to this day. Silent Spring was even republished in 1994 with an introduction from then vice-president Al Gore.
24．What do we know about Carson's early life?
A．She was a great fan of St. Nicholas.
B．She worked part-time at a radio station.
C．She pursued the sciences in high school.
D．She moved to Springdale at the age of 10.
25．According to the text, The Sea Around Us ______.
A．is a science book for professionals
B．was published after Carson passed away
C．aimed to raise public environmental awareness
D．has made Carson a fiction writer of international significance
26．What might be Al Gore' s attitude toward Silent Spring?
A．Critical.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Skeptical.
D．Approving.
27．Which words can best describe Carson?
A．Talented and responsible.
B．Independent but serious.
C．Reliable and courageous.
D．Determined but proud.

The canyons (峡谷)of America's Southwest are deep, ancient openings in the earth. They look as if they formed as the earth split.
Forty million years ago, the Colorado River began cutting through the area around the present-day Grand Canyon. The river carried dirt and pieces of stone that slowly ate away at the surrounding rock. It left a pathway of enormous rock openings. At the same time, forces deep within the earth pushed up the surrounding land. Rain, snow, ice, wind and plant roots rubbed at the top of this new canyon. Below, the river continued to uncover more and more levels of ancient rock.
The Grand Canyon measures 2, 500 meters from the canyon floor to its highest point. Because of its size, the weather at the top of the canyon is often much different from that at the bottom. On some winter days, for example, you may find cold winds and snow at the top .But at the bottom of the canyon, you may find warm winds and flowers.
The Grand Canyon is home to some 2, 000 plant species. Some of these species can only be found in the park. The park is also home to more than 370 species of birds, 90 kinds of mammals and 40 kinds of reptiles. Many of the birds spend the whole lives in the Grand Canyon. Other species depend on the Grand Canyon for food and shelter during large migrations. The Grand Canyon was named the Globally Important Bird Area in 2014 because of the role it plays in protecting many species of birds.
In 1869, John Wesley Powell from the USA explored the Grand Canyon. He recorded much of what we know today about the area. Powell and his group traveled in four boats along the Colorado River. He and his group of explorers knew very little about getting over the fast waters of the Colorado River. In many places, boats could be turned over by giant waves.
28．It was _______ that formed the Grand Canyon.
A．the force from rain, snow and ice
B．the force from earthquakes
C．the force from the earth
D．the combination of natural forces
29．What is the correct order for the narration(叙述) of the passage?
①exploration ②introduction ③climate ④formation ⑤species
A．②④③⑤① B．①②③④⑤ C．②⑤③①④ D．②①③④⑤
30．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．the Grand Canyon attracts millions of visitors worldwide
B．the Grand Canyon is home to adventurous people
C．it took thousands of years to form the Grand Canyon
D．the environment of the Grand Canyon is perfect for wildlife
31．which magazine can mostly likely contain this passage？
A．National Geography.
B．Art and Culture.
C．Traveling Abroad.
D．Science Fiction.
D
Tears not only deliver oxygen and nutrients to our eyes and remove waste, but also contain various chemicals originally present in blood, some of which serve as markers of some diseases. That's a primary reason why doctors order blood tests. But it also means that physicians — and maybe in the near future, you — can look for signs of illness by looking at your tears.
Scientists have already found that markers of many serious diseases including cancers are found in tears. And recently, a technology named Tear Exo has been developed for breast cancer screening using tears collected by patients themselves. That could offer a cheaper way of testing and aid in the earlier detection of deadly disease.
But the potential advantages of tears as indicators of health go beyond occasional testing. One tear-based technology is a small contact lens that continuously monitors a patient's biomarkers, significantly improving disease prevention and detection. It has attracted the attention of some major companies such as Novartis, and is currently under development in research laboratories around the world.
More recently, a smart contact lens has been successfully developed for continuous monitoring and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Such a product probably won't be ready for commercial use in several years. But according to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 45 million people in the U.S. already wear contact lens to correct their sight. Switching to a smart version would be simple for them.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential in tears beyond crying. Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. Given the advantage of tear technology, such technology will almost certainly bring about more effective prevention of diseases—rather than having to deal with the difficulty of treating them.
32．In which way do people benefit from Tear Exo?
A．Preventing breast cancer. B．Saving time for screening tests.
C．Reducing the costs of testing. D．Detecting some diseases earlier.
33．What can we infer about the smart contact lens?
A．It has a promising future. B．It can improve patient's sight.
C．It is available on the market. D．It monitors eyesight continuously.
34．What is the author's attitude to tear technology?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Cautious.
35．Which can be a suitable title of the text?
A．What role do tears play? B．Tears contain high levels of chemical.
C．How can we prevent tears? D．Your eyes may save your life someday.

67．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。
We were a crowd of people who took the bus every day that summer several years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb(郊区), we sat as a cheerless and silent crowd. One of the passengers was an old man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens(老年人) every morning. He walked with a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty, boarded the bus and sat down alone behind the driven. No one ever paid much attention to him.
Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled short--sightedly down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice, “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and replied with “Good morning” in a low voice.
The following weeks we were more alert(警觉的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. He said “Good morning” to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked, “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers applauded for him. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before he sat down.
Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束), gently saying shyly “Here”. Everyone smiled. The men started to joke about it, talk to each other and share his updates.
The summer went by and autumn was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick.
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。
When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop without a tie, looking particularly sad.

【原文】Hi, everybody! I want to begin my course introduction with a very short story.It is said that when God found that human beings were becoming stronger and stronger, he himself made them speak different languages so that they could not work together against him, because they did not understand each other. So if people cannot communicate with each other, they cannot work together and help each other. That’s why we need to learn foreign languages. Of course, we don’t want to work together against God. But when we have the tool of foreign languages, we can learn about different cultures, get more information and trade internationally. I know many people get good grades in written tests. But still many of them complain of the difficulty in learning a foreign language. That’s because they learn the language just as knowledge, not as a tool. That is to say, they try to remember rules, but fail to improve their ability to use the language. In my course, you have to use your English in conversations. You will be given chances to use it properly in all kinds of real life situations. In this way, you’ll gradually improve your ability to use English. In short, you can communicate most effectively in the end. Thank you!

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位著名的科学家兼作家Rachel Carson。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段的内容“By age 10, she had published her first story in St. Nicholas. She would often read this magazine, as well as many others that concerned the natural world. ”（到她10岁时，她在杂志St. Nicholas上出版了她的第一篇小说。她经常读这本杂志，以及其他许多有关自然世界的杂志。）可知，Rachel Carson 很早就痴迷于杂志St. Nicholas。所选项A符合题意，故选A。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发现通过眼泪可以寻找疾病的迹象，因此像Tear Exo等技术被开发出来用于进行乳腺癌筛查等疾病检测。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“And recently, a technology named Tear Exo has been developed for breast cancer screening using tears collected by patients themselves. That could offer a cheaper way of testing and aid in the earlier detection of deadly disease. (最近，一项名为Tear Exo的技术被开发出来，用于使用患者自己收集的眼泪进行乳腺癌筛查。这可以提供一种更便宜的检测方法，并有助于对致命疾病的早期检测)”可知，人们使用Tear Exo技术可以降低检测的成本。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“It has attracted the attention of some major companies such as Novartis, and is currently under development in research laboratories around the world. (它已经引起了诺华等一些大公司的注意，目前正在世界各地的研究实验室进行开发)”以及第四段中“But according to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 45million people in the U.S already wear contact lens to correct their sight. Switching to a smart version would be simple for them. (但根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，美国大约有4500万人已经佩戴隐形眼镜来矫正视力。切换到智能版本对他们来说很简单)”可知，智能隐形眼镜有很好的前景。故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. Given the advantage of tear technology, such technology will almost certainly bring about more effective prevention of diseases—rather than having to deal with the difficulty of treating them. (眼泪可以提供一种便宜、快速和易于使用的健康监测方法。鉴于眼泪技术的优势，这种技术几乎肯定会带来更有效的疾病预防，而不是处理治疗疾病的困难)”可知，作者对眼泪技术持赞同的态度。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But it also means that physicians — and maybe in the near future, you — can look for signs of illness by looking at your tears.(但这也意味着医生——也许在不久的将来，你——可以通过观察你的眼泪来寻找疾病的迹象)”以及最后一段中“Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. (眼泪可以提供一种便宜、快速和易于使用的健康监测方法)”以及全文对眼泪技术的研究及其应用的前景和可能等描述，可知，本文主要介绍了科学家发现通过眼泪可以寻找疾病的迹象，因此像Tear Exo等技术被开发出来用于进行乳腺癌筛查等疾病检测。选项D“有一天你的眼睛可能会拯救你的生命”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四个帮助处于困境的朋友的沟通技巧。
36．上文“Accompanying and supporting a friend, especially when they are in trouble, can be the difference between them moving through a difficult challenge or sinking into a state of hopelessness, social withdrawal and depression.(陪伴和支持朋友，尤其是当他们遇到麻烦的时候，可能是他们克服困难的挑战，还是陷入绝望、社交退缩和抑郁的状态的区别)”说明给予处于低落情绪中的朋友陪伴和支持是很重要的。下文“Here are some practical and genuinely helpful things you can do to support a friend through the hard times.(这里有一些实际的和真正有帮助的事情，你可以做，以支持朋友度过困难时期)”提出一些实际的和真正有帮助的事情。由此可知，设空处应该是说我们不知道怎么去支持朋友，所以文章才给出了一些建议。D. However, it’s tough to know what to do at times.(然而，有时很难知道该做什么)能够承上启下，符合题意。故选D。
37．根据小段标题“Reach out.(伸出援手)”及下文“If you’ve noticed your friend has become withdrawn and stopped contacting you or cancelled planned activities, it’s crucial to let them know they’re not alone. (如果你注意到你的朋友变得孤僻，不再联系你或取消了计划中的活动，让他们知道他们并不孤单是至关重要的)”及生活常识可知，E. Sometimes a friend in trouble may isolate themselves.(有时朋友在困境中会孤立自己)能够呼应标题、衔接下文，构成因果关系，情绪低落的人，容易让自己处于独处的状态，所以跟朋友联络，让他们知道他们并不孤单是非常重要的。故选E。
38．根据上文“Pick up the phone, send them a message on social media, or come to their place and let them know you’re available to chat and you’ re concerned about them.(拿起电话，在社交媒体上给他们发个信息，或者去他们的住处，让他们知道你可以和他们聊天，你很关心他们)”及下文“Even if it takes a few attempts, most people appreciate knowing that a friend cares about them enough to reach out.(即使需要做几次尝试，大多数人都喜欢知道朋友足够关心他们，主动联系他们)”可知，我们应该主动联系情绪低落的朋友，有时候他们可能不会第一时间回应，所以需要多做几次尝试。由此可知，F. They may not respond at first, so it’s important to keep trying.(他们可能一开始没有回应，所以继续尝试是很重要的)能够承上启下，符合题意。故选F。
39．根据小段标题“Find a good time to talk. (找一个合适的时间交谈)”及上文“Choose a time when you’re both feeling reasonably relaxed and don’t have to rush off to other commitments. (选择一个你们都感觉很放松的时间，不用急着去做其他事情)”可知，本段主要讲述交谈时间的选择。由此可知，C. You can clear your schedule if necessary.(如果有必要，你可以清空你的日程安排)能够承接上文，这样你就不用急着去做其他事情了。故选C。
40．根据小段标题“Be a good listener. (做一个好的倾听者)”及上文“It might be tempting (诱人的) to offer your friend advice about how to deal with what they’re experiencing, but the most helpful thing you can do if they choose to open up to you is simply listen.(给你的朋友提供如何处理他们所经历的事情的建议可能很诱人，但如果他们选择向你敞开心扉，你能做的最有帮助的事就是倾听)”可知，本段主要讲述我们要做一个好的倾听者，让朋友来主导对话。由此可知，B. Let your friend guide the conversation.(让你的朋友主导谈话)能够承接上文，符合题意。故选B。
41．B 42．C 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．C 47．A 48．D 49．B 50．D 51．A 52．B 53．A 54．C 55．D

67．When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. No one complained about that. Instead, we all held our breaths when she went to the door. Yes, the staff said they knew who we were talking about. The elderly gentleman was fine, but he hadn’t been coming to the center that week. One of his close friends had died at the weekend. They expected him hack on Monday. After hearing that about Charlie, we kept silent and cheerless the rest of the way to work.
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop without a tie, locking particularly sad. He seemed to have felt down again. He just climbed onto the bus without a single word. Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in a church. Even though no one had talked about it, all those of us, who he had made such an impression on that summer, sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands. Seeing the flowers in our hands, our sad friend smiled with tears.

Born on May 27,1907 in Springdale,Pennsylvania, Rachel Carson became an avid explorer as well as reader, and took an interest in writing stories.By age 10, she had published her first story in St. Nicholas. She would often read this magazine, as well as many others that concerned the natural world. In 1925, she finished at the top of her class in high school in a class of 45 students.
Carson would go on to attend the Pennsylvania College for Women,which is known as Chatham University now. This is where she would end up pursuing the sciences,in this case biology. She would eventually attend Johns Hopkins University in 1929, continuing her studies in zoology and genetics.
Carson completed her Master' s in zoology in June of 1932, and went to work at a local radio station. Here she would write educational broadcasts for a weekly radio show called Romance Under the Waters. This led her to her job at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, and she became just the second woman to be employed by the bureau.
In 1951, Carson had her book The Sea Around Us published,which explains the complexity of the ocean to non-scientists. Carson wrote the book with poetry and science, and she intended to spark in her readers a sense of the fragility of the world' s ecosystem. The Sea Around Us made Carson the voice of public science in America, an internationally recognized authority on the oceans,and established her reputation as a nature writer of the first rank.
In 1962,Carson became well-known when her most famous book Silent Spring was published. This book described the negative effects of pesticides on the environment. Her concern with pesticides dated back to the 1940s,but no one would take her seriously until this book was finally published. On April 14th,1964,Carson passed away due to a heart attack but her work towards preserving the environment has continued to this day. Silent Spring was even republished in 1994 with an introduction from then vice-president Al Gore.

The canyons (峡谷)of America's Southwest are deep, ancient openings in the earth. They look as if they formed as the earth split.
Forty million years ago, the Colorado River began cutting through the area around the present-day Grand Canyon. The river carried dirt and pieces of stone that slowly ate away at the surrounding rock. It left a pathway of enormous rock openings. At the same time, forces deep within the earth pushed up the surrounding land. Rain, snow, ice, wind and plant roots rubbed at the top of this new canyon. Below, the river continued to uncover more and more levels of ancient rock.
The Grand Canyon measures 2, 500 meters from the canyon floor to its highest point. Because of its size, the weather at the top of the canyon is often much different from that at the bottom. On some winter days, for example, you may find cold winds and snow at the top .But at the bottom of the canyon, you may find warm winds and flowers.
The Grand Canyon is home to some 2, 000 plant species. Some of these species can only be found in the park. The park is also home to more than 370 species of birds, 90 kinds of mammals and 40 kinds of reptiles. Many of the birds spend the whole lives in the Grand Canyon. Other species depend on the Grand Canyon for food and shelter during large migrations. The Grand Canyon was named the Globally Important Bird Area in 2014 because of the role it plays in protecting many species of birds.
In 1869, John Wesley Powell from the USA explored the Grand Canyon. He recorded much of what we know today about the area. Powell and his group traveled in four boats along the Colorado River. He and his group of explorers knew very little about getting over the fast waters of the Colorado River. In many places, boats could be turned over by giant waves.
28．It was _______ that formed the Grand Canyon.
A．the force from rain, snow and ice
B．the force from earthquakes
C．the force from the earth
D．the combination of natural forces
29．What is the correct order for the narration(叙述) of the passage?
①exploration ②introduction ③climate ④formation ⑤species
A．②④③⑤① B．①②③④⑤ C．②⑤③①④ D．②①③④⑤
30．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．the Grand Canyon attracts millions of visitors worldwide
B．the Grand Canyon is home to adventurous people
C．it took thousands of years to form the Grand Canyon
D．the environment of the Grand Canyon is perfect for wildlife
31．which magazine can mostly likely contain this passage？
A．National Geography.
B．Art and Culture.
C．Traveling Abroad.
D．Science Fiction.

Tears not only deliver oxygen and nutrients to our eyes and remove waste, but also contain various chemicals originally present in blood, some of which serve as markers of some diseases. That's a primary reason why doctors order blood tests. But it also means that physicians — and maybe in the near future, you — can look for signs of illness by looking at your tears.
Scientists have already found that markers of many serious diseases including cancers are found in tears. And recently, a technology named Tear Exo has been developed for breast cancer screening using tears collected by patients themselves. That could offer a cheaper way of testing and aid in the earlier detection of deadly disease.
But the potential advantages of tears as indicators of health go beyond occasional testing. One tear-based technology is a small contact lens that continuously monitors a patient's biomarkers, significantly improving disease prevention and detection. It has attracted the attention of some major companies such as Novartis, and is currently under development in research laboratories around the world.
More recently, a smart contact lens has been successfully developed for continuous monitoring and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Such a product probably won't be ready for commercial use in several years. But according to Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, about 45 million people in the U.S. already wear contact lens to correct their sight. Switching to a smart version would be simple for them.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential in tears beyond crying. Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. Given the advantage of tear technology, such technology will almost certainly bring about more effective prevention of diseases—rather than having to deal with the difficulty of treating them.
32．In which way do people benefit from Tear Exo?
A．Preventing breast cancer. B．Saving time for screening tests.
C．Reducing the costs of testing. D．Detecting some diseases earlier.
33．What can we infer about the smart contact lens?
A．It has a promising future. B．It can improve patient's sight.
C．It is available on the market. D．It monitors eyesight continuously.
34．What is the author's attitude to tear technology?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Cautious.
35．Which can be a suitable title of the text?
A．What role do tears play? B．Tears contain high levels of chemical.
C．How can we prevent tears? D．Your eyes may save your life someday.

67．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。
We were a crowd of people who took the bus every day that summer several years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb(郊区), we sat as a cheerless and silent crowd. One of the passengers was an old man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens(老年人) every morning. He walked with a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty, boarded the bus and sat down alone behind the driven. No one ever paid much attention to him.
Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled short--sightedly down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice, “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and replied with “Good morning” in a low voice.
The following weeks we were more alert(警觉的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. He said “Good morning” to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked, “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers applauded for him. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before he sat down.
Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束), gently saying shyly “Here”. Everyone smiled. The men started to joke about it, talk to each other and share his updates.
The summer went by and autumn was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick.
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。
When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop without a tie, looking particularly sad.

【原文】Hi, everybody! I want to begin my course introduction with a very short story.It is said that when God found that human beings were becoming stronger and stronger, he himself made them speak different languages so that they could not work together against him, because they did not understand each other. So if people cannot communicate with each other, they cannot work together and help each other. That’s why we need to learn foreign languages. Of course, we don’t want to work together against God. But when we have the tool of foreign languages, we can learn about different cultures, get more information and trade internationally. I know many people get good grades in written tests. But still many of them complain of the difficulty in learning a foreign language. That’s because they learn the language just as knowledge, not as a tool. That is to say, they try to remember rules, but fail to improve their ability to use the language. In my course, you have to use your English in conversations. You will be given chances to use it properly in all kinds of real life situations. In this way, you’ll gradually improve your ability to use English. In short, you can communicate most effectively in the end. Thank you!

(眼泪可以提供一种便宜、快速和易于使用的健康监测方法。鉴于眼泪技术的优势，这种技术几乎肯定会带来更有效的疾病预防，而不是处理治疗疾病的困难)”可知，作者对眼泪技术持赞同的态度。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But it also means that physicians — and maybe in the near future, you — can look for signs of illness by looking at your tears.(但这也意味着医生——也许在不久的将来，你——可以通过观察你的眼泪来寻找疾病的迹象)”以及最后一段中“Tears can provide an inexpensive, rapid and easy-to-use choice to monitor health. (眼泪可以提供一种便宜、快速和易于使用的健康监测方法)”以及全文对眼泪技术的研究及其应用的前景和可能等描述，可知，本文主要介绍了科学家发现通过眼泪可以寻找疾病的迹象，因此像Tear Exo等技术被开发出来用于进行乳腺癌筛查等疾病检测。选项D“有一天你的眼睛可能会拯救你的生命”最符合文章标题。故选D。
36．D 37．E 38．F 39．C 40．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四个帮助处于困境的朋友的沟通技巧。
36．上文“Accompanying and supporting a friend, especially when they are in trouble, can be the difference between them moving through a difficult challenge or sinking into a state of hopelessness, social withdrawal and depression.(陪伴和支持朋友，尤其是当他们遇到麻烦的时候，可能是他们克服困难的挑战，还是陷入绝望、社交退缩和抑郁的状态的区别)”说明给予处于低落情绪中的朋友陪伴和支持是很重要的。下文“Here are some practical and genuinely helpful things you can do to support a friend through the hard times.(这里有一些实际的和真正有帮助的事情，你可以做，以支持朋友度过困难时期)”提出一些实际的和真正有帮助的事情。由此可知，设空处应该是说我们不知道怎么去支持朋友，所以文章才给出了一些建议。D. However, it’s tough to know what to do at times.(然而，有时很难知道该做什么)能够承上启下，符合题意。故选D。
37．根据小段标题“Reach out.(伸出援手)”及下文“If you’ve noticed your friend has become withdrawn and stopped contacting you or cancelled planned activities, it’s crucial to let them know they’re not alone. (如果你注意到你的朋友变得孤僻，不再联系你或取消了计划中的活动，让他们知道他们并不孤单是至关重要的)”及生活常识可知，E. Sometimes a friend in trouble may isolate themselves.(有时朋友在困境中会孤立自己)能够呼应标题、衔接下文，构成因果关系，情绪低落的人，容易让自己处于独处的状态，所以跟朋友联络，让他们知道他们并不孤单是非常重要的。故选E。
38．根据上文“Pick up the phone, send them a message on social media, or come to their place and let them know you’re available to chat and you’ re concerned about them.(拿起电话，在社交媒体上给他们发个信息，或者去他们的住处，让他们知道你可以和他们聊天，你很关心他们)”及下文“Even if it takes a few attempts, most people appreciate knowing that a friend cares about them enough to reach out.(即使需要做几次尝试，大多数人都喜欢知道朋友足够关心他们，主动联系他们)”可知，我们应该主动联系情绪低落的朋友，有时候他们可能不会第一时间回应，所以需要多做几次尝试。由此可知，F. They may not respond at first, so it’s important to keep trying.(他们可能一开始没有回应，所以继续尝试是很重要的)能够承上启下，符合题意。故选F。
39．根据小段标题“Find a good time to talk. (找一个合适的时间交谈)”及上文“Choose a time when you’re both feeling reasonably relaxed and don’t have to rush off to other commitments. (选择一个你们都感觉很放松的时间，不用急着去做其他事情)”可知，本段主要讲述交谈时间的选择。由此可知，C. You can clear your schedule if necessary.(如果有必要，你可以清空你的日程安排)能够承接上文，这样你就不用急着去做其他事情了。故选C。
40．根据小段标题“Be a good listener. (做一个好的倾听者)”及上文“It might be tempting (诱人的) to offer your friend advice about how to deal with what they’re experiencing, but the most helpful thing you can do if they choose to open up to you is simply listen.(给你的朋友提供如何处理他们所经历的事情的建议可能很诱人，但如果他们选择向你敞开心扉，你能做的最有帮助的事就是倾听)”可知，本段主要讲述我们要做一个好的倾听者，让朋友来主导对话。由此可知，B. Let your friend guide the conversation.(让你的朋友主导谈话)能够承接上文，符合题意。故选B。
41．B 42．C 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．C 47．A 48．D 49．B 50．D 51．A 52．B 53．A 54．C 55．D

50．考查动词短语辨析。句意：我甚至放弃了午睡，准备打开门，以防再来一本书。A. worried about担心，担忧；B. looked forward to期待，期望；C. got back to重新回到；D. gave up放弃。根据后文“ready to open the door ___11___ another book was delivered”可知，作者随时准备着开门迎接书的到来，因此应是放弃了午觉。故选D项。

52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：通过与人分享一本书，我相信我们最终与他们分享了我们灵魂的一部分。A. delivering递送，发表；B. sharing分担，分享；C. collecting收集，收藏；D. discussing讨论。“share sth with sb.”，“和某人分享某物”。故选B项。

67．When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. No one complained about that. Instead, we all held our breaths when she went to the door. Yes, the staff said they knew who we were talking about. The elderly gentleman was fine, but he hadn’t been coming to the center that week. One of his close friends had died at the weekend. They expected him hack on Monday. After hearing that about Charlie, we kept silent and cheerless the rest of the way to work.
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop without a tie, locking particularly sad. He seemed to have felt down again. He just climbed onto the bus without a single word. Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in a church. Even though no one had talked about it, all those of us, who he had made such an impression on that summer, sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands. Seeing the flowers in our hands, our sad friend smiled with tears.
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了查理起初乘坐公交车时非常沮丧，但是突然有一天开始积极地与周围的乘客打交道。当查理有了女朋友之后，每天还会带一大束花在身上。秋天的一个早上，大家都没有见到查理，所以在老年活动中心停了下来想询问查理到哪儿去了。不幸的是，查理最好的朋友去世了，查理又回到了最初沮丧的样子。
