By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner？
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the "nodding".
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worse page turner"?
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
C
What would you think is the most plentiful man-made material on earth? Steel, plastic, glass? The answer is concrete.
And while it's an incredibly useful material existing everywhere, the energy intensive process of making concrete releases massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, and its main component, which is a mixture of rocks, sand, water and most importantly, cement (水泥) to glue it altogether, is responsible for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, leaving a huge carbon footprint. But without cement, concrete doesn't hold up skyscrapers.
What if there was a way that instead of releasing carbon dioxide, concrete could trap it forever? Carbon Cure is kind of the brains of the technology. This innovation puts carbon dioxide into the concrete as it's being mixed. When the concrete hardens, those otherwise harmful emissions are trapped forever, before they even reach our atmosphere. Christie Gamble, part of the team behind Carbon Cure's technology, explained, "We actually transform the CO2 into a mineral, and the real selling point is that the mineral itself improves the compressive (压缩的) strength for the concrete, which means producers like Thomas Concrete can use less cement in their mixtures and still achieve the same strength with fewer emissions."
Compression tests prove that the concrete made with Carbon Cure is just as hardy as the traditional stuff. If we can reduce 5 percent of the carbon footprint of the concrete industry, that's a significant change from where we're right now. Ultimately, if this technology was employed across the globe, we could reduce about 700 megatons of CO2 every year, which is the same as taking 150 million cars off the road every year.
It's going to change the way the concrete industry does things. Though companies pay to use Carbon Cure and buy CO2 from a factory, they save money by using less of their most expensive cement.
28. What's the main focus on concrete in paragraph 2?
A. Its makeup. B. Its serious air pollution.
C. Its daily use. D. Its producing process.
29. How does Carbon Cure work?
A. By adding a new mineral to CO2.
B. By hardening the concrete more quickly.
C. By improving the quality of the cement.
D. By trapping carbon dioxide in the concrete.
30. In what way does the author illustrate the eco-benefit of Carbon Cure?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By providing evidence.
31. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To present a problem. B. To explain a process.
C. To advocate an action. D. To introduce a solution.
D
It's not unusual to see an unreasonable child lying on the ground drumming his heels. Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a well-behaved kid is really a head-scratching thing.
If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit (因纽特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Don't shout or yell at small children. Inuit's no-yelling policy is their central component to raising cool-headed kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents' buttons.
Playful "storytelling" is another trick to sculpting kids' behavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents "retell" what happened when a boy threw a tantrum (发脾气) by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well: putting on a "drama". After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: "Can you show us how to throw a tantrum?" Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a follow-up question with a playful tone. For example: "Does that seem right?" or "Are you a baby?" She is getting across the idea that "big boys" won't throw a tantrum.
Kids' brains are still developing the circuitry needed for self-control. What you do in response to your children's emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit's storytelling approach. And don't forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.
32. Which of the following best explains "pushing parents' buttons" underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Talking with parents. B. Playing with parents' buttons.
C. Exposing parents' faults. D. Making parents annoyed.
33. What do we know about Inuit's "storytelling"?
A. It aims at playing a trick on kids.
B. It raises kids' awareness of morality.
C. It comes after a child misbehaves.
D. It analyzes Shakespeare's dramas.
34. What's the author's attitude to children's misbehavior?
A. Cautious. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Skeptical.
35. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Inuit's approach to parenting.
B. Values of reading literary works.
C. Causes of children's misbehavior.
D. Parents' responses to "storytelling".

The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television. In the past, a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week. 36 People, therefore, have created a new term：binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole series in a row.
37 In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences. 38
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health? 39 They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of screen-use every day. They also reported that this group's health condition was worse than light users.
Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-watching and greater stress. The result is surprising. 40 It might have been believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress. However, that's not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater stress if watching more shows continuously.
A. Every new cultural behavior has its own causes.
B. Nowadays, binge-watching is a common behavior.
C. Now, many companies release a whole series at once.
D. People are more stressed out if they're binge-watching.
E. Researchers at Arizona State University wanted to figure this out.
F. 73 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds binge-watched at least once a week.
G. Researchers identified binge-watchers by asking how long they watched television.

"I wanted to draw works from poets influential in the Boston-area literary, educational or cultural fields," Georges said.
The poems are 50 to the sidewalks in a matter of minutes and should wear away in six to eight weeks. While all of the poems 51 installed are written in English, Sara Siegel, program director for the Mass Poetry, hopes to add 52 ones in the many languages that are 53 throughout Boston.
"Our hope is in the next two years everyone in the state will meet a poem in their 54 lives at least once or twice a month," says Siegel. "This is a fun and 55 way to bring poetry to the people."

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。
It was a Monday，and Khan, a pet dog had joined the family the previous Friday. He had already decided that two-year-old Charlotte was his No.1 girl. The dog had seldom left her side since arriving at his new home.
Khan was next to Charlotte when Catherine took her into the garden for some fresh air. "I was just in the house doing boring mother things and Charlotte wanted to go outside and run around," she says. "We were just walking around the garden looking at flowers and all that good stuff. Khan was with her."
Charlotte was soon tired of playing in the garden and then went to play the padlock on the gate. "She was beating the padlock and it was banging on the gate," Catherine recalls. She thought Khan, who was naturally right next to Charlotte, might be disturbed by the loud noise, but he seemed undisturbed by it. That was until, entirely without warning, he became very upset indeed.
"Khan suddenly started making this noise from his chest, this growl(怒吼)," she says. "His whole chest puffed up, his hair stood up, and he lowered his head. He continued to make this growl."
As Catherine watched, Khan seemed to double in size. "He kept trying to push her. I was right next to Charlotte—no more than a metre away and I thought, 'He's going to hurt her'. His chest was bigger than he was long," she says.
Time seemed to slow down as Catherine rushed desperately to save her daughter. But Khan got to Charlotte first. He grabbed her by the back of her clothes and threw her over his shoulder into the garden. "I turned and looked and she was just sitting there in a pile of grass." Still not certain whether Khan's strange behaviour was some sort of attack on her child, Catherine raced to pick up Charlotte, who was completely unharmed, and take her inside to safety. Just as she turned to run into the house, Catherine saw a big brown snake bite Khan right in the chest and slid away quickly.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150以上；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Khan screamed in pain and at the same moment, Catherine understood all.

(Text 10)
M：It is really difficult for American university students to develop good health habits, but many students do manage to live a very healthy lifestyle.
Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through organized teams or classes in yoga, soccer, volleyball and other fitness activities, or by providing recreation centers where students can exercise, swim, work out or play different sports.
Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a challenge.However, as American society becomes more educated and concerned about health problems, even some fast food restaurants offer healthy alternatives such as salads, soups and low-fat sandwiches.
There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools, too.In addition, schools usually include a student health center where students can seek medical attention.This is really a bonus for the students, because a simple doctor's appointment can cost a hundred dollars, and a short hospital stay will cost thousands.
21~23.【答案】D、A、B
【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Andrew Zuckerman对50名60岁以上的老年人的采访。文章主要列举3名受访者的采访内容。
21. 根据第一段“One of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom (智慧) it has gained from experience. This idea has inspired Andrew Zuckerman. He interviewed and took photos of fifty over-sixty-five-year-olds all over the world. His project explores various sides of their lives. (一代人能给其他几代人的最大礼物之一就是它从经验中获得的智慧。这个想法启发了Andrew Zuckerman。他采访了世界各地五十名六十五岁以上的人，并拍了照片。他的项目探索了他们生活的各个方面。)”可知，Andrew Zuckerman认为这50个60岁以上的老年人拥有丰富的经验和智慧，并且这些智慧值得传给一代又一代，所以选择这50位老年人做项目，故选D。
22. 根据—Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Spain部分“Federico Mayor Zaragoza received a doctorate in Pharmacy (药学) from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1958. After many years spent in politics (政治), he became Director-General of UNESCO in 1987. In 1999, he created the Foundation for a Culture of Peace, of which he is now the president. In addition to many scientific publications,he has published (出版，发表) four collections of poems. (费德里科市长Zaragoza于1958年获得马德里康普顿斯大学药学博士学位。在政治领域工作多年后，他于1987年成为联合国教科文组织总干事。1999年，他创建了和平文化基金会，现在是该基金会的主席。除了许多科学出版物外，他还出版了四本诗集。)”可知，Zaragoza在医疗、政治及文化领域都取得了很大的成就，故选A。
23. 根据—Nadine Gordimer, South Africa部分“She read widely and began writing at an early age. She published her first short story at the age of fifteen, and has completed a large number of works, which have been translated into forty languages. (她广泛阅读，并在很小的时候就开始写作。她在十五岁时出版了她的第一部短篇小说，并完成了大量作品，这些作品已被翻译成四十种语言。)”可知，Nadine Gordimer将自己学到的知识运用到写作中，她完成了大量的作品，并且被翻译成多种语言。故推知我们可以在图书馆和书籍中找到Nadine Gordimer。所以采访中的“My education has been the library and books (我的教育已经在图书馆和书籍中。)”这句话最可能是Nadine Gordimer说的，故选B。
24~27.【答案】A、C、B、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文讲述了Titterton作为一个钢琴翻页者应该具有的素质和要求。
24. 根据原文第一段"I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."（我不是一个受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了读谱，所以我可以帮助玛丽亚的表演。）可知Titterton应该会读谱才能成为一个翻页者。故选A。
25. 根据原文第三段"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot."（“这份工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页，当你必须回到正确的位置时，你必须确保你找到了音乐中的重复部分。”）可知最能描述Titterton舞台上的工作的是“高要求的”。故选C。
26. 根据原文第三段Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.（舞台上无声的交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”方式来表示翻页，他们需要与翻页师练习。）可知，Titterton需要练习辨识“点头”。故选B。
27. 根据原文最后一段He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!'（他对音乐很感兴趣，感知到每个音符，我不得不说：“翻，翻！”）可知，Raspopova的丈夫是“最糟糕的翻页者”的原因是他忘了做他的工作。故选D。
28~31.【答案】B、D、A、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了混泥土是地球上最多产的人造材料，它的产生给人类带来了好处，但也有一些环境问题。文章也提出了解决混泥土产生碳排放的方法。
28. 根据第二段中的most importantly, cement (水泥) to glue it altogether, is responsible for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, leaving a huge carbon footprint.（最重要的是，将其粘合在一起的水泥，占全球二氧化碳排放量的7%，留下了巨大的碳足迹。）可知，构成混泥土重要的成分之一——水泥，会排放二氧化碳，对环境有影响，故选B。
29. 根据第三段中的Carbon Cure is kind of the brains of the technology...are trapped forever, before they even reach our atmosphere.（碳疗是技术的大脑。这项创新在混凝土混合的过程中把二氧化碳加入到混凝土中。当混凝土变硬时，那些本来有害的排放物甚至在进入我们的大气层之前就被永远截留了。）可知，Carbon Cure把碳在排放之前截留了，故选D。
30. 根据第四段中的If we can reduce 5 percent...which is the same as taking 150 million cars off the road every year.（如果我们能减少混凝土行业5%的碳足迹，那将是一个巨大的改变。最终，如果这项技术在全球范围内应用，我们每年可以减少大约7亿吨的二氧化碳，这相当于每年减少1.5亿辆汽车。）可知，作者通过比较前后的变化来论证 Carbon Cure给我们带来的好处。故选A。
31. 根据第三段中的What if there was a way that instead of releasing carbon dioxide, concrete could trap it forever?（有没有一种方法可以让混凝土永远困住二氧化碳，而不是释放二氧化碳呢？）可知，文章通过引出问题到中间提出解决方法，主要是告诉读者我们可以解决混泥土碳排放的方法。故选D。
32~35.【答案】D、C、B、A
【解析】【文章大意】文章介绍了因纽特人教育孩子的黄金规则“不对小孩叫喊”以及他们塑造孩子行为的一种方式“讲故事”, 让我们时刻记住孩子做错事的时候要保持冷静。
32. 词句猜测题。画线词组所在句子为让步状语从句, “although”前后句是让步关系。根据第二段画线词组所在句中的“scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice”可知，孩子让父母生气的时候，父母才会训斥孩子，或者用愤怒的语气对孩子说话，所以画线短语意为“使父母生气”。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved”可知，在孩子平静下来后，父母会回顾当孩子不听话的时候发生了什么。因此，因纽特人的“讲故事”教育方式是在孩子的错误行为之后，故选C。
34. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit's storytelling approach. And don't forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.（所以下次，看到你的孩子行为不当时，试着用因纽特人讲故事的方式。不要忘记保持冷静。毕竟，孩子就是孩子。）”可知，作者认为小孩子犯错时，家长要宽容孩子的错误，不能对孩子要求太高。故选B。
35. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了因纽特人教育孩子的黄金规则“不对小孩叫喊”以及他们塑造孩子行为的一种方式“讲故事”, 让我们时刻记住孩子做错事的时候要保持冷静。因此A项“因纽特人的育儿方式”能够概括文章主旨。故选A。

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner？
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the "nodding".
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worse page turner"?
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
C
What would you think is the most plentiful man-made material on earth? Steel, plastic, glass? The answer is concrete.
And while it's an incredibly useful material existing everywhere, the energy intensive process of making concrete releases massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, and its main component, which is a mixture of rocks, sand, water and most importantly, cement (水泥) to glue it altogether, is responsible for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, leaving a huge carbon footprint. But without cement, concrete doesn't hold up skyscrapers.
What if there was a way that instead of releasing carbon dioxide, concrete could trap it forever? Carbon Cure is kind of the brains of the technology. This innovation puts carbon dioxide into the concrete as it's being mixed. When the concrete hardens, those otherwise harmful emissions are trapped forever, before they even reach our atmosphere. Christie Gamble, part of the team behind Carbon Cure's technology, explained, "We actually transform the CO2 into a mineral, and the real selling point is that the mineral itself improves the compressive (压缩的) strength for the concrete, which means producers like Thomas Concrete can use less cement in their mixtures and still achieve the same strength with fewer emissions."
Compression tests prove that the concrete made with Carbon Cure is just as hardy as the traditional stuff. If we can reduce 5 percent of the carbon footprint of the concrete industry, that's a significant change from where we're right now. Ultimately, if this technology was employed across the globe, we could reduce about 700 megatons of CO2 every year, which is the same as taking 150 million cars off the road every year.
It's going to change the way the concrete industry does things. Though companies pay to use Carbon Cure and buy CO2 from a factory, they save money by using less of their most expensive cement.
28. What's the main focus on concrete in paragraph 2?
A. Its makeup. B. Its serious air pollution.
C. Its daily use. D. Its producing process.
29. How does Carbon Cure work?
A. By adding a new mineral to CO2.
B. By hardening the concrete more quickly.
C. By improving the quality of the cement.
D. By trapping carbon dioxide in the concrete.
30. In what way does the author illustrate the eco-benefit of Carbon Cure?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By providing evidence.
31. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To present a problem. B. To explain a process.
C. To advocate an action. D. To introduce a solution.

It's not unusual to see an unreasonable child lying on the ground drumming his heels. Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a well-behaved kid is really a head-scratching thing.
If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit (因纽特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Don't shout or yell at small children. Inuit's no-yelling policy is their central component to raising cool-headed kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents' buttons.
Playful "storytelling" is another trick to sculpting kids' behavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents "retell" what happened when a boy threw a tantrum (发脾气) by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well: putting on a "drama". After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: "Can you show us how to throw a tantrum?" Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a follow-up question with a playful tone. For example: "Does that seem right?" or "Are you a baby?" She is getting across the idea that "big boys" won't throw a tantrum.
Kids' brains are still developing the circuitry needed for self-control. What you do in response to your children's emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit's storytelling approach. And don't forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.

The way we watch television has changed, as many of us no longer follow the old model of television. In the past, a new episode (集) of a show was released once a week. 36 People, therefore, have created a new term：binge-watching (狂欢式刷剧). It is used to describe the behavior of watching many episodes of a whole series in a row.
37 In fact, a 2018 Morning Consult poll (民意调查) found that 60 percent of American adults who watched shows binge-watched. The percentage even increased among younger audiences. 38
Of course, every new cultural behavior has its accompanying health consequences. What is binge-watching doing to our health? 39 They sent an 18-question survey to 926 adults who owned a television and at least one other device with a screen. They found that heavy screen time users averaged 17.5 hours of screen-use every day. They also reported that this group's health condition was worse than light users.
Interestingly, researchers also discovered a connection between binge-watching and greater stress. The result is surprising. 40 It might have been believed that people are turning to binge-watching to deal with anxiety and stress. However, that's not the case. It could be the case that people will suffer from greater stress if watching more shows continuously.
A. Every new cultural behavior has its own causes.
B. Nowadays, binge-watching is a common behavior.
C. Now, many companies release a whole series at once.
D. People are more stressed out if they're binge-watching.
E. Researchers at Arizona State University wanted to figure this out.
F. 73 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds binge-watched at least once a week.
G. Researchers identified binge-watchers by asking how long they watched television.

"I wanted to draw works from poets influential in the Boston-area literary, educational or cultural fields," Georges said.
The poems are 50 to the sidewalks in a matter of minutes and should wear away in six to eight weeks. While all of the poems 51 installed are written in English, Sara Siegel, program director for the Mass Poetry, hopes to add 52 ones in the many languages that are 53 throughout Boston.
"Our hope is in the next two years everyone in the state will meet a poem in their 54 lives at least once or twice a month," says Siegel. "This is a fun and 55 way to bring poetry to the people."

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。
It was a Monday，and Khan, a pet dog had joined the family the previous Friday. He had already decided that two-year-old Charlotte was his No.1 girl. The dog had seldom left her side since arriving at his new home.
Khan was next to Charlotte when Catherine took her into the garden for some fresh air. "I was just in the house doing boring mother things and Charlotte wanted to go outside and run around," she says. "We were just walking around the garden looking at flowers and all that good stuff. Khan was with her."
Charlotte was soon tired of playing in the garden and then went to play the padlock on the gate. "She was beating the padlock and it was banging on the gate," Catherine recalls. She thought Khan, who was naturally right next to Charlotte, might be disturbed by the loud noise, but he seemed undisturbed by it. That was until, entirely without warning, he became very upset indeed.
"Khan suddenly started making this noise from his chest, this growl(怒吼)," she says. "His whole chest puffed up, his hair stood up, and he lowered his head. He continued to make this growl."
As Catherine watched, Khan seemed to double in size. "He kept trying to push her. I was right next to Charlotte—no more than a metre away and I thought, 'He's going to hurt her'. His chest was bigger than he was long," she says.
Time seemed to slow down as Catherine rushed desperately to save her daughter. But Khan got to Charlotte first. He grabbed her by the back of her clothes and threw her over his shoulder into the garden. "I turned and looked and she was just sitting there in a pile of grass." Still not certain whether Khan's strange behaviour was some sort of attack on her child, Catherine raced to pick up Charlotte, who was completely unharmed, and take her inside to safety. Just as she turned to run into the house, Catherine saw a big brown snake bite Khan right in the chest and slid away quickly.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150以上；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Khan screamed in pain and at the same moment, Catherine understood all.

M：It is really difficult for American university students to develop good health habits, but many students do manage to live a very healthy lifestyle.
Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through organized teams or classes in yoga, soccer, volleyball and other fitness activities, or by providing recreation centers where students can exercise, swim, work out or play different sports.
Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a challenge.However, as American society becomes more educated and concerned about health problems, even some fast food restaurants offer healthy alternatives such as salads, soups and low-fat sandwiches.
There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools, too.In addition, schools usually include a student health center where students can seek medical attention.This is really a bonus for the students, because a simple doctor's appointment can cost a hundred dollars, and a short hospital stay will cost thousands.
21~23.【答案】D、A、B
【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Andrew Zuckerman对50名60岁以上的老年人的采访。文章主要列举3名受访者的采访内容。
21. 根据第一段“One of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom (智慧) it has gained from experience. This idea has inspired Andrew Zuckerman. He interviewed and took photos of fifty over-sixty-five-year-olds all over the world. His project explores various sides of their lives. (一代人能给其他几代人的最大礼物之一就是它从经验中获得的智慧。这个想法启发了Andrew Zuckerman。他采访了世界各地五十名六十五岁以上的人，并拍了照片。他的项目探索了他们生活的各个方面。)”可知，Andrew Zuckerman认为这50个60岁以上的老年人拥有丰富的经验和智慧，并且这些智慧值得传给一代又一代，所以选择这50位老年人做项目，故选D。
22. 根据—Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Spain部分“Federico Mayor Zaragoza received a doctorate in Pharmacy (药学) from the Complutense University of Madrid in 1958. After many years spent in politics (政治), he became Director-General of UNESCO in 1987. In 1999, he created the Foundation for a Culture of Peace, of which he is now the president. In addition to many scientific publications,he has published (出版，发表) four collections of poems. (费德里科市长Zaragoza于1958年获得马德里康普顿斯大学药学博士学位。在政治领域工作多年后，他于1987年成为联合国教科文组织总干事。1999年，他创建了和平文化基金会，现在是该基金会的主席。除了许多科学出版物外，他还出版了四本诗集。)”可知，Zaragoza在医疗、政治及文化领域都取得了很大的成就，故选A。
23. 根据—Nadine Gordimer, South Africa部分“She read widely and began writing at an early age. She published her first short story at the age of fifteen, and has completed a large number of works, which have been translated into forty languages. (她广泛阅读，并在很小的时候就开始写作。她在十五岁时出版了她的第一部短篇小说，并完成了大量作品，这些作品已被翻译成四十种语言。)”可知，Nadine Gordimer将自己学到的知识运用到写作中，她完成了大量的作品，并且被翻译成多种语言。故推知我们可以在图书馆和书籍中找到Nadine Gordimer。所以采访中的“My education has been the library and books (我的教育已经在图书馆和书籍中。)”这句话最可能是Nadine Gordimer说的，故选B。
24~27.【答案】A、C、B、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文讲述了Titterton作为一个钢琴翻页者应该具有的素质和要求。
24. 根据原文第一段"I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."（我不是一个受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了读谱，所以我可以帮助玛丽亚的表演。）可知Titterton应该会读谱才能成为一个翻页者。故选A。
25. 根据原文第三段"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot."（“这份工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页，当你必须回到正确的位置时，你必须确保你找到了音乐中的重复部分。”）可知最能描述Titterton舞台上的工作的是“高要求的”。故选C。
26. 根据原文第三段Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.（舞台上无声的交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”方式来表示翻页，他们需要与翻页师练习。）可知，Titterton需要练习辨识“点头”。故选B。
27. 根据原文最后一段He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!'（他对音乐很感兴趣，感知到每个音符，我不得不说：“翻，翻！”）可知，Raspopova的丈夫是“最糟糕的翻页者”的原因是他忘了做他的工作。故选D。
28~31.【答案】B、D、A、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了混泥土是地球上最多产的人造材料，它的产生给人类带来了好处，但也有一些环境问题。文章也提出了解决混泥土产生碳排放的方法。
28. 根据第二段中的most importantly, cement (水泥) to glue it altogether, is responsible for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, leaving a huge carbon footprint.（最重要的是，将其粘合在一起的水泥，占全球二氧化碳排放量的7%，留下了巨大的碳足迹。）可知，构成混泥土重要的成分之一——水泥，会排放二氧化碳，对环境有影响，故选B。
29. 根据第三段中的Carbon Cure is kind of the brains of the technology...are trapped forever, before they even reach our atmosphere.（碳疗是技术的大脑。这项创新在混凝土混合的过程中把二氧化碳加入到混凝土中。当混凝土变硬时，那些本来有害的排放物甚至在进入我们的大气层之前就被永远截留了。）可知，Carbon Cure把碳在排放之前截留了，故选D。
30. 根据第四段中的If we can reduce 5 percent...which is the same as taking 150 million cars off the road every year.（如果我们能减少混凝土行业5%的碳足迹，那将是一个巨大的改变。最终，如果这项技术在全球范围内应用，我们每年可以减少大约7亿吨的二氧化碳，这相当于每年减少1.5亿辆汽车。）可知，作者通过比较前后的变化来论证 Carbon Cure给我们带来的好处。故选A。
31. 根据第三段中的What if there was a way that instead of releasing carbon dioxide, concrete could trap it forever?（有没有一种方法可以让混凝土永远困住二氧化碳，而不是释放二氧化碳呢？）可知，文章通过引出问题到中间提出解决方法，主要是告诉读者我们可以解决混泥土碳排放的方法。故选D。

【解析】【文章大意】文章介绍了因纽特人教育孩子的黄金规则“不对小孩叫喊”以及他们塑造孩子行为的一种方式“讲故事”, 让我们时刻记住孩子做错事的时候要保持冷静。
32. 词句猜测题。画线词组所在句子为让步状语从句, “although”前后句是让步关系。根据第二段画线词组所在句中的“scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice”可知，孩子让父母生气的时候，父母才会训斥孩子，或者用愤怒的语气对孩子说话，所以画线短语意为“使父母生气”。故选D。
33. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved”可知，在孩子平静下来后，父母会回顾当孩子不听话的时候发生了什么。因此，因纽特人的“讲故事”教育方式是在孩子的错误行为之后，故选C。
34. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit's storytelling approach. And don't forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.（所以下次，看到你的孩子行为不当时，试着用因纽特人讲故事的方式。不要忘记保持冷静。毕竟，孩子就是孩子。）”可知，作者认为小孩子犯错时，家长要宽容孩子的错误，不能对孩子要求太高。故选B。
35. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了因纽特人教育孩子的黄金规则“不对小孩叫喊”以及他们塑造孩子行为的一种方式“讲故事”, 让我们时刻记住孩子做错事的时候要保持冷静。因此A项“因纽特人的育儿方式”能够概括文章主旨。故选A。
36~40.【答案】C、B、F、E、D

7.句意：它既具有挑战性又是值得的。考查固定搭配both...and...两个都……。故填and。
8.考查动词。句子使用help sb. (to) do sth. 帮助某人做某事，to可以省略。故填(to) change。
9.考查名词。根据上文并列结构the politeness and可知应填名词，名词warmth温暖，不可数。故填warmth。
10.考察固定短语搭配。dozens of许多。

Khan noticed a snake going to bite little Charlotte, and Khan's action that seemed violent at first was really an attempt to save the girl's life.
