    Australian cities can keep their native wildlife — but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (无计划的扩展). That’s the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky, Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr. Richard Fuller of the University of Queensland.
    “While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city, building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,” says lead author Jessica Sushinsky. “Compact housing development leaves birds’ homes untouched, leading to fewer losses of birds.”
    The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane’s urban areas, including living and industrial areas, public parks and gardens, major roadways and airports. They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows. The first setting was compact growth — where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house. The second setting was sprawling growth — a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city’s current boundaries.
    The team’s forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting. “Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds — birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation(植被), such as parklands and woodlands,” Ms. Sushinsky says.
    “On the other hand, we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas.”
    Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy, which, Dr. Richard Fuller says, is good news for Australia’s native birds. These birds are environmental specialists — they need a particular environment to do well. “While compact development means smaller backyards, it can also make our entire cities more bio-diverse,” according to Dr. Fuller. “The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development.”
    This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds, the researchers say. “Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,” says Dr. Fuller.

    Never losing memories
    “I want my video to record my most authentic high school memory and that of everyone in China who has gone through gaokao,” said Lian Yingcheng, 20, a student from Shenzhen University. The 18-minute vlog of his three-year high school life got over 1 million views on Bilibili.
    However, Lian said that he didn’t expect this video to go viral at all when he was making it.
    “I have loved using videos to record my life for a long time and post vlogs from time to time on my Bilibili channel ‘Mark Lian’,” Lian said. “The idea of this long vlog has been in my mind since I started high school.”
    Throughout the three years of high school life, Lian’s camera went everywhere. No matter if it was a tug-of-war (拔河) activity, before a big exam, or simply just a Tuesday noon when everyone was running toward the canteen, Lian was always there to capture the reactions of him and his classmates. “I didn’t want to deliberately (刻意地) design any scene,” he said. That’s why his video is more like a documentary.
    With Lian’s narration in the background, the video tells the story of an ordinary high school boy who struggles to fight gaokao, constantly questioning himself and rebuilding his confidence. The friendship between him and his classmates, the resilience(坚韧)through difficulties and his broad outlook after failure are all reflected in the scenes and his vivid words. “The original idea in my mind was to tell an inspirational, encouraging story of gaokao, but then my gaokao result didn’t turn out that well. After dealing with the pain, I realized that accepting failure and regrets is a more important lesson to learn than ‘getting my wish’,” Lian said.
    People in the comment section expressed how much they could relate to the delicate emotions in the video. Some said that Lian did something they couldn’t do. “I realized that this means more than just recording my life and thoughts,” Tian said. “I want to keep on running this channel, to touch and warm more people in the future.”
    5.When did Lian start to have the idea of this long vlog?
    A.When he started high school. B.When he was in senior year.
    C.When he was in junior year. D.When he was in junior high school.
    6.Why is Lian’s video more like a documentary?
    A.His camera went everywhere. B.He studied documentary filmmaking.
    C.He only captured what he was familiar with. D.Everyone acted naturally in front of his camera.
    7.What was Lian’s reflection on his gaokao result?
    A.You only live once. B.Friendship never changes.
    C.Accept your failures and move on. D.Resilience is the key to success.
    8.Why does Lian want to keep on doing his channel?
    A.To warm more people. B.To share his life and thoughts.
    C.To have more followers on Bilibili. D.To improve his vlog-making skills.

    From Dec 7 to 19, delegates from around the world met at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (also known as COP15), in Montreal, Canada. After two weeks of intense debate at COP15, delegates agreed on Dec 19 to adopt a landmark plan to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. “Finally, we reached our destiny. We adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework,” Huang Runqiu, COP15 president and China’s minister of ecology and environment, announced on Dec 19.
    The new framework is a commitment by 196 parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity to conserve at least 30 percent of the Earth’s land and ocean area by the next decade. It also will increase the expected annual financial assistance from developed countries through 2030 to help developing nations with biodiversity protection.
    The aim of COP15 is to ensure biodiversity loss is changed by 2030, and that humans are able to live in harmony with nature by 2050. To realize these objectives can be very challenging. At COP10 in Nagoya, Japan in 2010, the parties agreed on the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets (爱知生物多样性目标). But, as of now, none of the 20 objectives has been fully realized.
    It is important to turn consensus into effective actions. Yet, as recent talks have shown, an aspect of effective international action on stopping climate change is the cooperation of developed countries. Developed countries, however, have fallen short of their responsibility as they have failed to fulfill the obligations according to the COP convention to provide funding and technology to poorer nations who lack the means to combat climate change.
    To solve this problem, the framework creates a new biodiversity fund within the UN’s existing Global Environment Facility. This came about as a compromise between developing nations, which wanted a new fund, and developed countries, which did not. In addition, a global youth initiative (倡议) was also released, hoping young people to be leaders and advocates for biodiversity conservation.
    9.What is the aim of COP15?
    A.To save at least 30 percent of the Earth’s land and ocean area by next decade.
    B.To stop biodiversity loss and promote harmony between man and nature.
    C.To strengthen the cooperation between developed and developing countries.
    D.To provide funding and technology to poorer nations to fight climate change.
    10.Why is COP10 mentioned in the passage?
    A.To show the parties didn’t fulfill the obligation.
    B.To show the parties didn’t take the objectives seriously.
    C.To show it is difficult to realize the objectives of COP 15.
    D.To show Japan didn’t hold the meeting successfully.
    11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
    A.International cooperation is important.
    B.A new framework is made in the COP15.
    C.Joint efforts are needed to fight climate change.
    D.Historic COP 15 deals are released on biodiversity.

    Middle School Laboratory Safety Rules
    Science is about discovering and exploring the natural world. Explorations can happen in the classroom, laboratory or field. As part of your science lessons, you will take part in many activities using many different materials, equipment and chemicals, which can be dangerous if not used correctly. As a result, you may be faced with biological, chemical or physical hazards.
    Safety is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing. The following safety rules have been developed for the protection and safety of everyone.
    ★Behave yourself in a responsible way at all times. Risky behavior-such as throwing things and doing experiments without teachers’ instructions is not allowed.

    It was about 11:15 pm on the passenger ship California. The night was freezing cold and the water was filled with ice from the North Pole, making it difficult for the ship to sail on.
    In the radio room, ship California’ operator Cyril Evans listened to the radio-talk between a nearby passenger ship and the telegraph station on the Canadian island of Newfoundland. Evans interrupted it and said, “We’re stopped and surrounded by ice. Be careful as you pass through these waters.” The radio operator on the nearby ship replied, “I’m too busy to talk now. I have many messages to send to the telegraph station.” Twenty minutes later, as he turned off his radio and went to bed, Evans could still hear the ship sending its passengers’ telegrams.
    Earlier in the evening the California’s captain, Stanley Lord, had seen another ship approaching. It looked about the size of his own, but attempts to contact the ship failed. It lay dark and mysterious about 10 miles away. At 12:40 am there appeared a sudden flash of light just over the mystery ship. Captain Lord, thinking the ship might need help, ordered his officers to signal the ship by lamp. There was no reply. Three more rockets then exploded, none appeared to go higber than halfway up the mast (桅杆) of the mystery ship. Then at about 2:00 am it turned and slipped into the darkness.
    In the light of the dawn there was no mystery ship, but 20 miles away was the scene of a great disaster. Unfortunately, the mystery ship had stopped directly in front of the California, preventing people on board from seeing clearly. If this ship had not been there, Captain Lord would have recognized that the rockets were SOS rockets that came not from the mystery ship but from a more distant ship which the California could not see. If Cyril Evans had kept his radio on for just 30 minutes more he would have heard SOS signals coming from that distant ship he spoke with the night before. That ship was the Titanic which was sinking fast, leaving 1,500 of its passengers dead. It was April 14,1912.
    15.From whose point of view is the story told?
    A.People on the Titanic. B.People at telegraph station.
    C.People on Newfoundland. D.People on the California.
    16.What is the main function of the last paragraph of this passage?
    A.It describes how the Titanic sank.
    B.It shows how unlucky the Titanic was.
    C.It lists how many people died in the disaster.
    D.It indicates that the people on the California were careless.
    17.How many ships are mentioned in the passage?
    A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
    18.From the passage we know that __________.
    A.the rockets were fired from the mystery ship
    B.the Titanic sent out many telegrams that night
    C.the Titanic started sinking at dawn the next day
    D.Cyril Evans went to bed earlier than usual that night

    The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the countryside. Before this time health care bad to be paid for by individuals.
    Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.
    Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.
    As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals—many of which were built in the nineteenth century—provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.
    During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from.
    19.We can know from the first paragraph that ________.
    A.patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948
    B.the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers
    C.people didn’t have to pay for health care since the NHS was set up
    D.the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybody
    20.What do we know about the NHS?
    A.It’s managed by the central government.
    B.It hires more people than any other unit in Europe.
    C.Its cost is mainly paid for by the National Insurance contributions.
    D.Fewer patients go to its hospitals than before because they spend less on health care.
    21.What does the underlined word “exempt”(Para. 2) probably mean?
    A.suffering B.different C.prevented D.free
    22.The biggest problem for the NHS is __________.
    A.many hospitals are too old to be used
    B.some services are in the charge of individuals
    C.there is not enough money for further reform
    D.more and more patients go to GPs for treatment

    The next big stage, the improvement from automatic to truly autonomous trains, is already here. It will take train autonomy to the next level, beyond the automated performance on closed loops (圈;环) such as automatic rail lines today and onto the vast expanse of international railways.
    That will mean that the next generation of trains will be able to locate themselves in their environment and interact with other train traffic without human assistance. They will have the ability to detect and manage on their own all elements of their environment, designed by a connected traffic management system.
    The transition toward train autonomy is speeding, says Kai Taylor, Thales Marketing & Communications Director Main Line Rail Signalling, and a reason for that can be summed up in one word: digitalisation.
    “The key to success”, says Kai Taylor, “is in fact what is in ‘the Thales DNA’—the digital technologies across Thales business units-aerospace, space, transportation, defence and security”.
    “These technologies represent the pieces of the puzzle to achieve real train autonomy. They are artificial intelligence, big data, connectivity, including the internet of things linking trains to intelligent railway switches, and with net security built in. We have sensors for obstacle (障碍) detection from Thales defence, safe and precise satellite positioning from our space and avionics (航空电子设备) division, cybersecurity from the Thales security sector and the trusted explainable and approvable artificial intelligence led by Thales for safe decisions. Taken together, they will provide the train with true autonomy for safe and efficient operations”
    Of course, all these technologies are at the base of the Thales ground and air transportation sector’s current offerings for efficient, safe and reliable travel in the air or on the ground.
    Kai Taylor explains, “We’re unique in having the experience and the expertise in all aspects of mobility, including Thales global leadership in air and train management systems which are assuring rail and air travel for airlines and rail operators all over the world.”
    23.What will truly autonomous trains do?
    A.Carry out the automated performance on closed loops.
    B.Communicate with other trains with the help of humans.
    C.Examine and deal with the situations of the surroundings.
    D.Travel automatically with great speeds using solar powers.
    24.What does the underlined word “that”in paragraph 3 refer to?
    A.Their environment. B.The transition’ speeding.
    C.Human assistance. D.The ability to locate themselves.
    25.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us?
    A.How digitalisation works in real train autonomy.
    B.What sensors on the autonomous trains deal with.
    C.What will guarantee the train’s smooth operations.
    D.How obstacles are removed from the paths of trains.
    26.What’s Kai Taylor’s attitude towards the future of autonomous trains?
    A.Indifferent. B.Concerned. C.Critical. D.Confident.

    What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
    Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.
    Nowadays our eyes are in use constantly. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
    On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
    But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.
    Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
    27.What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A.Man’s life will be different in the future. B.Future man will look quite different from us.
    C.Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes. D.Man’s organs, functions will be useless in the future.
    28.What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
    A.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
    B.Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.
    C.Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
    D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
    29.Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
    A.He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
    B.He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
    C.He thinks and feels in quite different ways from us.
    D.His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to use them.
    30.What can we infer from the passage?
    A.Human beings will become less attractive in the future.
    B.Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration (退化).
    C.Human beings all hope for a change in the future life.
    D.We are certain about our future life and appearance.

    XI’AN — China has introduced various emergency responses and long-term measures against air pollution in the central and eastern regions.
    The air quality index (AQI)) for Xi’an reached 500 on Wednesday afternoon, at the top of the AQI scale, according to the national air quality monitoring website. Xi’an weather forecasters predict the smog will continue for the next week and air pollution may worsen.
    “I have to keep buying masks for my family,” said Liu, buying masks at a pharmacy (药店) near her home in downtown Xi’an. “This is the only thing we can do to protect ourselves.”
    On Wednesday, a city government emergency response plan was put into action, suspending all construction and taking at least 50 percent or government vehicles off the road. Power plants must limit their output and reduce emissions.
    Nearly half the country, more than 100 cities in 20 provinces, has suffered from smog since last December. Many have taken action, including experimenting with artificial methods to reduce smog, limiting vehicle use and fining polluters.
    Assessments based on GDP alone were abandoned last month and more emphasis has been put on public well-being and the environment. Whether the move will be effective or not in forcing the local governments to consider environmental issues over economic growth remains to be seen. Environmental protection professionals are doubtful about the immediacy of the effects of these measures.
    Xiao Hang, an urban researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said it took London 50 years to lose the moniker (绰号) “foggy London town”, and Los Angeles still struggles to control its photochemical (光化学) smog. “We can’t ignore environmental problems during the development process and China has a long way to go,” he said.
    31.What’s the main idea of the article?
    A.AQI for Xi’an reached 500. B.Dust masks become hot sellers.
    C.Smoggy Chinese cities are to clear the air. D.Smog crisis tries the limits of people’s patience.
    32.The underlined word “suspending” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.
    A.encouraging B.stopping C.continuing D.expanding
    33.What can we infer from the article?
    A.Xi’an was the most polluted city in China.
    B.China is the only country suffering from smog.
    C.Assessments based on GDP alone were harmful to environmental protection.
    D.Environmental professionals believe the air quality will soon be improved with these measures.
    34.What Xiao Hang said indicates ________.
    A.the development of China is more important
    B.solving environmental problems requires great efforts
    C.it’s normal for China to have environmental problems
    D.London still has serious air pollution after 50 years of efforts

    It was nearly dark, the sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
    “What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still go ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter, you are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance...” his mother said. “But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road.” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet.” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture.” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”
    It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery is on the way.
    35.Why did Tom feel sad after the trip?
    A.It was too late and nearly dark. B.He was too tired to continue his trip.
    C.He failed to reach the top of the mountain. D.There are too many big or small stones on the way.
    36.What was NOT mentioned by Tom about his sightseeing?
    A.Wild animals. B.Green trees. C.Colorful flowers. D.Singing birds.
    37.What does father’s words mean?
    A.Achieving something is not important.
    B.We are not always able to get what we expect.
    C.We don’t have to reach the top of the mountain.
    D.It is more important to learn something on the way of climbing.
    38.What is the best title of the passage?
    A.Cheer up the Sad Son B.Enjoy the Scenery on the Way
    C.Fail to Reach the Top D.Make Every Dream Come True

    Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.
    One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.
    During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’re being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.
    That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”
    This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.

    “Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”
    “Well, not exactly, but…”
    Maria continued, “Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms. Kenny if you need one?”
    “A recommendation?… from Ms. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.

    Five-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses.
    At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.
    At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.
    Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about chasing and achieving your dreams.”
    Willard Wigan, a microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be big.
    45.Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher?
    A.Unsympathetic. B.Unhelpful. C.Impatient. D.Careless.
    46.Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants?
    A.Because he had a love for little things.
    B.Because he was absent-minded in class.
    C.Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school.
    D.Because he thought they both seemed unimportant.
    47.What can we infer from the text?
    A.Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream.
    B.Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work.
    C.Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time.
    D.Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school.
    48.Which of the following may Willard agree with?
    A.Failure is the mother of success.
    B.Success belongs to those who don’t give up.
    C.Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals.
    D.Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work.

    Around the world, support is growing for electric cars. Car makers are producing more electric cars with a longer distance and lower prices. Some European countries plan to be all-electric by 2040 or sooner. However, there are a lot of difficulties, including one practical consideration for customers:If they buy electric cars, where will they charge (充电) them?
    Public charging stations arc not built evenly around the world. Places with lots of support from governments, like China and the Netherlands have thousands of public charging stations. But in many places, there are not many public chargers. That’s a problem for people who need to drive further than the 200 miles or so that most electric cars can travel.
    This situation worries many potential (潜在的) electric car owners. “If I can’t charge, there’s no way for me to have an electric car as my primary transportation,” says Solie, who works far from his home.
    Mr. Romano, the CEO of ChargePoint, says workplaces should have around 2.5 chargers for every employee and stores need one for every 20 electric cars. Highways need one every 50 to 75 miles, he says.
    Luckily, car makers and governments are pushing to fill the gaps. The number of chargers grew by 72 percent to more than 322, 000 last year, the International Energy Agency says. BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, and Ford are building 400 fast-charging stations in Europe.
    But there are pitfalls. There arc different types of charging stations, and no one knows the exact mix drivers will finally need. A store might spend $5, 000 for a charger, which provides a car with 5 to 15 miles of range in 30 minutes. But once most cars get 200 or 300 miles per charge, slow chargers are less necessary.
    52.What prevents potential customers from buying electric cars?
    A.The long-time charging. B.The power problem.
    C.The safety. D.The price.
    53.What is Solie’s attitude toward buying electric cars?
    A.Tired. B.Hopeful. C.Supportive. D.Uninterested.
    54.What do Mr. Romano’s words suggest?
    A.There is a great need for chargers. B.The government should take action.
    C.Car makers will have a bright future. D.Electric cars are becoming less popular.
    55.What does the underlined word “pitfalls” in the last paragraph mean?
    A.Dangers. B.Problems. C.Advantages. D.Achievements.

    Becca was 6 when she was told she had cancer on Sept. 8, 2014. She clearly remembers the bad days of her 26 months of non -stop treatment. Luckily, Becca celebrated her final treatment on Nov. 13, 2016, and she has been cancer-free ever since. But she was thinking about what her life was like while experiencing the treatment.
    “I was never able to do much, and that’s what the kids lying in their hospital beds right now experience, asking their mom and dad, ‘When are we leaving? When can I play with my friends?’ So I decided I have to help them.”
    In February, 2017, Becca came up with the idea for Knots and Arrows, a company that makes bracelets (手镯) out of swimsuit materials (泳衣布料). Part of the money made from each bracelet goes to the organizations that help people with cancer.
    Becca created the company with her father, Gerhard Salmins. Gerhard Salmins once had cancer and already recovered from it. “I would be in the hospital sitting there crying and then my dad would come in and he would play games with me,” she said. “It made me forget about what I was going through” Becca said the name of the organization shows the motto (座右铭) she stuck to through her personal cancer journey.
    Her organization has already given thousands of dollars to research organizations and families in need. Becca said she hoped her bracelets would make people remember that great things can result from small changes. “No matter what age you are, what you look like, and how you act, you can make a difference!”she said.

    The meticulousness (一丝不苟) that drives the craftsman’s spirit, has made the arts of Japan famous worldwide. But how may this traditional spirit of perfectionism, or kodawari, have wide-ranging influences on everyday life in modern Japan?
    Nagasawa Rosetsu was an ancient artist who produced Five Hundred Arhats. He drew the 500 chief followers of the Buddha in a work that measures just 3cm square, roughly the size of a postage stamp. You’ll need to take out the magnifying glass (放大镜) for this one!
    Back to modern-day Japan, the most well-known modern Japanese artist is Yayoi Kusama. One of her most representative works is her large-scale spotted pumpkin sculptures. Kusama has also produced many hand-painted works with a level of detail that must have taken weeks, if not months, to complete. Having suffered from a disorder for many decades, Kusama applies herself to painting detailed patterns as a kind of treatment; the repetition involved in creating the work allows her to keep control of her mind.
    When did kodawari, this Japanese’s seeking of perfection and devotion to detail begin? I suppose it was even as far back as the Heian period, which began over one thousand years ago. In her The Pillow Book, the court lady Sei Shönagon took it upon herself to write lists of objects and situations that she found to be beautiful due to their perfection.
    Today there are still many examples of this single-minded devotion to one’s work in Japan. You can find shops that only produce a single product, whether it be pickled vegetables, tofu, or Mochi sweets. It’s often said that at the best sushi restaurants, apprentice (学徒) chefs will often be tasked for many years with washing and cooking the rice and perfecting this skill before they are even allowed to pick up a knife to begin slicing fish.
    This single-minded devotion to one’s craft, whether it be in the field of fine art and handicrafts, or at a local sushi restaurant, is surely one of the defining characteristics of Japanese culture today.
    63.What can we learn about Five Hundred Arhats?
    A.It could reflect the artist’s artistic habits. B.It may need great craft skills to finish it.
    C.It was drawn on a small stamp. D.It was made with fine details.
    64.Why did Kusama start her hand-painting career?
    A.To treat her illness in a peaceful way. B.To make full use of her talent for art.
    C.To live a full life in her spare time. D.To get instant fame as an artist.
    65.What do the examples in Japan today intend to show?
    A.The uniqueness of Japanese food. B.The most successful industry in Japan.
    C.The exact demands for apprentice chefs. D.The popularity of craftsman spirit in Japan.
    66.What can be the best title for the text?
    A.Who are Japan’s famous artists with craftsman spirit?
    B.Craftsman spirit: a key part of Japanese culture
    C.Japan’s food industry: the past and the present
    D.How are Japan’s art works produced?

    Human tears could carry a flood of useful information. With just a few drops, a new technique can help discover signs of eye disease and even diabetes, reported by some scientists.
    “We wanted to show the possibility of using tears to discover diseases,” says Fei Liu, a biomedical engineer in China. He says, “The teardrops can open a window for scientists to peer into the entire body, and one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.” As a matter of fact, tears contain tiny sacs (液囊) filled with special messages. If scientists could collect the sacs, they could offer new information on what’s happening inside the body. But collecting enough of these sacs is not easy.
    But not many tears come out of eyes at a time. So Liu’s team designed a new way to get the sacs from the small amount of tears. First, the researchers collected tears from study participants. Then, the team used the technique to let small molecules escape, leaving the sacs behind for research.
    The results gave the scientists an eyeful. The team found that different types of dry-eye disease left their own molecular fingerprints in people’s tears. What’s more, tears could help doctors monitor how a patient’s diabetes is progressing.
    Now, the scientists want to look to tears for the evidence of other diseases as well as depression or emotional stress. “This is just the beginning. Tears express something that we haven’t really explored. So the research is worth further conducting,” says the study coauthor Luke Lee, a bioengineer at Harvard Medical School.
    67.What is the purpose of using the new technique?
    A.To treat some diseases. B.To find the cause of tears.
    C.To report useful diet information. D.To discover some diseases through tears.
    68.What do the underlined words “peer into” in paragraph 2 mean?
    A.Look into. B.Turn into. C.Change into. D.Run into.
    69.What does paragraph 3 show?
    A.Why the team gained sacs. B.How the team collected sacs.
    C.Where the team researched tears. D.What the team learned from tears.
    70.What does Luke Lee think of the research?
    A.It is fruitless. B.It is meaningful.
    C.It is out of control. D.It is easy to conduct.

    The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. The Spring Equinox Chinese (春分), as the fourth term of the year starts on March 21 and ends on April 5 this year.
    The Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere and longer night in the Southern Hemisphere.
    Here are 6 things you may not know about the Spring Equinox.
    Swallows fly north
    The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three “hou’s,” or five-dayparts. As the old saying goes, swallows fly back to the North in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou, which vividly reveals the climate feature during the Spring Equinox.
    Egg-standing games
    Standing an egg upright is a popular game across the country during the Spring Equinox. It is an old custom that dates back to 4, 000 years ago. People practice this tradition to celebrate the coming of spring. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
    Flying kites
    Spring Equinox is a good time to fly kites. In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources. So to pray for health, they wrote their medical issues on paper kite. When the kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let the paper kite float away, symbolizing the flying away of diseases.
    Later flying kites developed into a popular game of spring. On the Spring Equinox, people write a blessing on the kite, hoping that the gods in the sky would see it.
    Eating spring vegetables
    Eating spring vegetables during the Spring Equinox is a commonly practiced custom in many regions of China. ‘Spring vegetables’ refers to seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place. The ancient teachings in the Chinese classic, Huangdi Neijing, suggests that people eat seasonal foods to help preserve health and bring good luck.
    Sacrifice to the Sun god
    During the Spring Equinox, an old tradition practiced by Beijing locals is offering sacrifices to the Sun god. This tradition is called “Zhonghe Festival”. The “Sun Cake”, a round cake made from wheat and sugar, serves as the main offering.
    Reward farm cattle
    This practice is popular in the southern area of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As the Spring Equinox comes, farm work starts and both the farmers and the cattle start to become busy. Farmers will reward cattle with sticky rice balls to express their gratefulness. Meanwhile, people will also make sacrifice to birds, to thank them for bringing signals for farm work and to ask them not to eat grains later in the year.
    71.Which of the following is true about the Spring Equinox?
    A.It falls on March 20 every year.
    B.The day time is longer than night time.
    C.After the Spring Equinox, day time is longer in the Northern Hemisphere.
    D.Before the Spring Equinox, night time is longer in the Southern Hemisphere.
    72.People cut off the string of the kite in the hope that________.
    A.they could have great fun B.the kite will fly freely in the sky
    C.they could get good medical resources. D.the diseases will fly away with the kites.
    73.which word can replace the underlined word “issues”?
    A.Treatments. B.Problems. C.Questions. D.Instruments.
    74.People do all the things to wish for good luck except__________.
    A.playing egg-standing games B.flying away kites
    C.eating spring vegetables D.rewarding farm cattle

    15.细节理解题。根据第二段“In the radio room, ship California’ operator Cyril Evans listened to the radio-talk between a nearby passenger ship and the telegraph station on the Canadian island of Newfoundland. Evans interrupted it and said, “We’re stopped and surrounded by ice. Be careful as you pass through these waters.” The radio operator on the nearby ship replied, “I’m too busy to talk now. I have many messages to send to the telegraph station.” Twenty minutes later, as he turned off his radio and went to bed, Evans could still hear the ship sending its passengers’ telegrams. (在无线电室里,“加利福尼亚”号的操作员西里尔·埃文斯(Cyril Evans)收听着附近一艘客船与加拿大纽芬兰岛上的电报站之间的无线电通话。埃文斯打断了它,说:“我们被冰包围了。你们经过这水的时候要小心。” 附近船上的无线电报务员回答说:“我现在太忙了,没时间说话。我有许多消息要送到电报站去。”20分钟后,当他关掉收音机上床睡觉时,埃文斯仍然能听到那只船在发送乘客的电报。)”可知这个故事是California船上的人讲的,故选D。
    16.细节理解题。根据最后一段“If Cyril Evans had kept his radio on for just 30 minutes more he would have heard SOS signals coming from that distant ship he spoke with the night before. That ship was the Titanic which was sinking fast, leaving 1,500 of its passengers dead. (如果西里尔·埃文斯(Cyril Evans)的无线电再开30分钟,他就会听到前一天晚上与他通话的那艘遥远的船发出的求救信号。那艘船就是泰坦尼克号,它下沉得很快,造成1500名乘客死亡。)”可知如果西里尔·埃文斯(Cyril Evans)的无线电再开30分钟,坦尼克号可能就不会遭遇不幸,所以这篇文章最后一段主要显示了泰坦尼克号是多么不幸。故选B。
    17.细节理解题。通读全文,文章提到了California 和Titanic,以及第三段“Earlier in the evening the California’s captain, Stanley Lord, had seen another ship approaching. (傍晚早些时候,“加利福尼亚”号的船长斯坦利·洛德看到另一艘船驶近。) ”中的神秘船,可知文章中总共提到了三只船,故选C。
    18.推理判断题。根据第二段“The radio operator on the nearby ship replied, “I’m too busy to talk now. I have many messages to send to the telegraph station.” Twenty minutes later, as he turned off his radio and went to bed, Evans could still hear the ship sending its passengers’ telegrams. (附近船上的无线电报务员回答说:“我现在太忙了,没时间说话。我有许多消息要送到电报站去。”20分钟后,当他关掉收音机上床睡觉时,埃文斯仍然能听到那只船在发送乘客的电报。)”和最后一段“If Cyril Evans had kept his radio on for just 30 minutes more he would have heard SOS signals coming from that distant ship he spoke with the night before. (如果西里尔·埃文斯(Cyril Evans)的无线电再开30分钟,他就会听到前一天晚上与他通话的那艘遥远的船发出的求救信号。)”可推断出泰坦尼克号当晚发出了许多电报,故选B。

    【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一个组织——英国国家卫生服务体系(NHS)及它的职能。
    19.细节理解题。根据第一段“The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the countryside. Before this time health care bad to be paid for by individuals. (英国国家卫生服务体系(NHS)于1948年设立,目的是向农村的每个人免费提供平等的基本卫生保健。在此之前,医疗保健是由个人支付的。)”可知。1948年以前,病人接受医疗保健是收费的,故选A。
    20.细节理解题。根据第四段“The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours. (NHS是欧洲最大的雇主,尽管英国在人均医疗保健上的支出实际上低于大多数欧洲邻国。)”可知,NHS雇佣的员工比欧洲其他任何单位都多,故选B。
    21.词句猜测题。根据划线单词的句子“There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment. (处方和牙科护理是收费的,但许多人,如儿童、孕妇、养老金领取者和靠收入支持的人,是exempt付款的。)”可知上下文是转折关系,所以exempt应是免费的,故选D。
    22.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from. (应该提供多少资金来支持国民保健服务,以及资金应该从哪里来,这些政治问题仍在继续。)”可知,NHS最大的问题是没有足够的资金进行进一步的改革,故选C。

    24.词句猜测题。结合指代关系和上文“The transition toward train autonomy is speeding (列车自主化的变革正在加快脚步)”可知,列车自主化的变革速度原因可以用一个词来概括:数字化。此处that指代的是上文提到的“列车自主化的变革速度”。故选B。
    25.主旨大意题。通读全段,结合首句中的“These technologies represent the pieces of the puzzle to achieve real train autonomy. (这些技术代表了实现真正的列车自主的拼图的一部分。)”可知,全段讲述了诸如物联网、障碍物检测传感器、卫星定位、人工智能等数字化技术在自主运行列车上的运用。所以本段告诉我们数字化如何在真正的列车自动驾驶中发挥作用。故选A。
    26.推理判断题。文章最后一段讲述了凯·泰勒对自主运行列车的看法,其中由“We’re unique in having the experience and the expertise in all aspects of mobility (我们在各方面的流动性具有独到的经验与专业知识)”可知,凯·泰勒表示他们具备独一无二的经验与专业知识,说明他对自主运行列车是非常有信心的。故选D。

    【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人类的样子一直在变化中,文章预测了未来的人类的模样。
    27.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“What will man be like in the future— in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.(未来,5000年甚至5万年以后,人类会是什么样子?当然,我们只能猜测,但我们可以肯定,人类将会与今天的他有所不同,因为人类一直在缓慢地变化)”可知,以及下文对人类身体部分的变化描述,本文主要介绍未来的人与现在的人的样子不一样。故选B项。
    28.细节理解题。根据第二段“Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. (即使在五百年前,人类也比现在矮。现在,男性的平均身高约为3英寸。500年是相对较短的一段时间,所以我们可以假设人类会继续长高)”可知,通过与500年前的先人比较,人类的样子正在变化,并且将继续变化。故选D项。
    29.细节理解题。根据第五段“But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. (但是头发呢?随着时间的推移,它可能会从身体中完全消失,因为它不再有任何有用的用途)”可知,未来人没有头发,因为头发不再有用。故选A项。
    30.推理判断题。根据第四段“On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. (另一方面,我们倾向于较少使用我们的胳膊和腿。其结果是,这些身体部分可能会变得更弱)”可推知,胳膊和腿这些身体器官因为较少使用,可能会退化。故选B项。

    【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。中国已经启动紧急预案并采取长期措施来应对雾霾天气,中国不能只关注GDP,在治理环境问题方面,中国还有很长的路要走。
    31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段“XI’AN — China has introduced various emergency responses and long-term measures against air pollution in the central and eastern regions.(西安消息,中国针对中东部地区的空气污染出台了各种应急响应和长期措施。)”,以及第五段“Nearly half the country, more than 100 cities in 20 provinces, has suffered from smog since last December. Many have taken action, including experimenting with artificial methods to reduce smog, limiting vehicle use and fining polluters. (自去年12月以来,国内近一半地区,20个省份的100多个城市,遭受了雾霾的困扰。许多城市已经采取了行动,包括试验人工方法来减少雾霾、限制车辆使用和对污染者进行罚款。)”可知,很多中国城市被雾霾笼罩,所以已经出台了各种响应措施以净化空气。故选C项。
    32.词句猜测题。根据第四段“On Wednesday, a city government emergency response plan was put into action, suspending all construction and taking at least 50 percent or government vehicles off the road. Power plants must limit their output and reduce emissions. (周三,市政府启动了一项应急响应计划,suspending所有施工,至少50%的政府车辆停驶。发电厂必须限制产量,减少排放。)”可知,作为响应计划的具体措施,一半政府车辆不上路,发电厂限制发电量,可推知,施工也应该停止,suspending与stopping意思相近,故选B项。
    33.推理判断题。根据第六段“Assessments based on GDP alone were abandoned last month and more emphasis has been put on public well-being and the environment. Whether the move will be effective or not in forcing the local governments to consider environmental issues over economic growth remains to be seen. Environmental protection professionals are doubtful about the immediacy of the effects of these measures. (上个月,仅以GDP为基础的评估被放弃,更多的重点放在了公共福利和环境上。此举能否有效迫使地方政府将环境问题置于经济增长之上,还有待观察。环保专家对这些措施的立竿见影的效果表示怀疑。)”可知,中国如今必须出台治理空气污染的各种应急响应和长期措施,是因为以往只关注了GDP增长,而忽视保护环境,最终出现雾霾危机,可推知仅以GDP为基础的评估不利于环境保护。故选C项。
    34.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Xiao Hang, an urban researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said it took London 50 years to lose the moniker (绰号) ‘foggy London town’, and Los Angeles still struggles to control its photochemical (光化学) smog. ‘We can’t ignore environmental problems during the development process and China has a long way to go,’ he said. (中国科学院城市研究员肖航表示,伦敦花了50年时间才摆脱‘雾蒙蒙的伦敦城’的绰号,而洛杉矶仍在努力控制其光化学雾霾。他说,我们不能忽视发展过程中的环境问题,中国还有很长的路要走。)”可知,肖航以伦敦、洛杉矶为例,解决环境问题花了伦敦50年时间,洛杉矶至今还在努力中,说明要切实解决环境问题,中国还有很长的路要走,因此需要付出很大的努力。故选B项。

You will have another chance...’ his mother said. ‘But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!’ Tom said. (‘我失败了。这座山很高,路上到处都是大大小小的石头。我还是继续。但是我很累,而且很晚了,所以我不得不回来。’汤姆哭道。‘没关系,毕竟你才14岁。你会有另一次机会的……’他母亲说。‘但是,站在山顶是我的梦想!’汤姆说。)”可知,汤姆很挫败,他没能到达山顶就返回了,没有实现站在山顶的理想,所以伤心。故选C项。

    37.推理判断题。根据第二段“‘That’s enough!’ his father smiled and said, ‘Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.’ (‘这就够了!’他的父亲笑着说:‘请记住,儿子。通常,实现你的期望并不是最重要的。虽然你还没有到达山顶,但你在路上收获了很多。’)”可推知,攀登的过程中学到一些东西比到山顶更重要,即过程比结果重要。故选D项。

    47.推理判断题。根据第二段的“At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.(在学校里,威拉德仍然很挣扎,但现在他知道他可以做一些特别的事情。也许他根本就不是个失败者。如果威拉德在阅读或数学方面有困难,他就会回家为蚂蚁屋制作小家具。他甚至建了一个蚂蚁学校,里面有小秋千、梯子、跷跷板和旋转木马。他的艺术技巧提高了,对小事物的热爱开始在他心中滋长)”可推知,Willard在上学的时候发现了一种制作更好艺术品的方法。故选D。

    65.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Today there are still many examples of this single-minded devotion to one’s work in Japan. You can find shops that only produce a single product, whether it be pickled vegetables, tofu, or Mochi sweets.

    66.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The meticulousness (一丝不苟) that drives the craftsman’s spirit, has made the arts of Japan famous worldwide. But how may this traditional spirit of perfectionism, or kodawari, have wide-ranging influences on everyday life in modern Japan?(匠人精神的一丝不苟,使日本的艺术闻名世界。但是,这种传统的完美主义精神,或称“kodawari”,如何对现代日本的日常生活产生广泛的影响呢?)”以及最后一段“This single-minded devotion to one’s craft, whether it be in the field of fine art and handicrafts, or at a local sushi restaurant, is surely one of the defining characteristics of Japanese culture today.(无论是在美术和手工艺品领域,还是在当地的寿司店,这种对自己手艺的专一奉献无疑是当今日本文化的标志性特征之一)”可知,文章主要说明了日本的工匠精神,并用相关的人物进行了论证。因此B选项“工匠精神:日本文化的重要组成部分?”最符合文章标题。故选B。
    67.D 68.A 69.B 70.B

    【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是中国温州医科大学生物医学工程师Fei Liu的研究团队发明了一种从微小体积的眼泪中获得液囊的新方法,以此来检测人类的疾病。
    67.细节理解题。根据第一段“With just a few drops, a new technique can help discover signs of eye disease and even diabetes”(只需几滴,一项新技术就能帮助发现眼病甚至糖尿病的迹象)可知,使用这项新技术的目的是通过眼泪发现一些疾病。故选D。
    68.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The teardrops can open a window for scientists”(这些泪珠可以为科学家打开一扇窗)以及下文“one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.”(有一天甚至让人在家里快速测试自己的眼泪)可知,这些泪滴可以为科学家们研究整个身体打开一扇窗户。故划线词的意思是“研究”。故选A。
    69.主旨大意题。根据第三段“But not many tears come out of eyes at a time. So Liu’s team designed a new way to get the sacs from the small amount of tears. First, the researchers collected tears from study participants. Then, the team used the technique to let small molecules escape, leaving the sacs behind for research.”(但一次流出的眼泪并不多。因此,刘的团队设计了一种从少量眼泪中提取液囊的新方法。首先,研究人员收集了研究参与者的眼泪。然后,该团队使用该技术让小分子逃逸,留下液囊以供研究)可知,第三段说明了团队如何收集液囊。故选B。
    70.推理判断题。根据最后一段的““This is just the beginning,” he says. “Tears express something that we haven’t really explored.”(“这仅仅是个开始,”他说。“眼泪表达了我们还没有真正探索过的东西。”)”可知,Luke Lee认为对眼泪研究是有意义的,故选B。
    71.C 72.D 73.B 74.D

    【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了中国二十四节气中的春分以及春分习俗。
    71.细节理解题。根据第二段“After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere and longer night in the Southern Hemisphere.(春分后,太阳向北移动,导致北半球的白天逐渐变长,南半球的夜晚逐渐变长)”可知,春分之后,北半球的白天时间更长。故选C项。
    72.细节理解题。根据Flying kites中的“When the kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let the paper kite float away, symbolizing the flying away of diseases.(当风筝在空中时,人们会剪断绳子,让纸风筝飘走,象征着疾病的消除)”可知,人们剪断风筝的线,希望疾病会随着风筝飞走的。故选D项。
    73.词句猜测题。根据Flying kites 中“In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources.(在古代,人们没有良好的医疗资源)”可知,为了祈求健康,他们把自己的医疗问题写在纸风筝上。所以划线词的意思是“问题”。故选B项。
    74.细节理解题。根据Reward farm cattle中的“As the Spring Equinox comes, farm work starts and both the farmers and the cattle start to become busy. Farmers will reward cattle with sticky rice balls to express their gratefulness.(春分到了,农活开始了,农民和牛都开始忙碌起来。农民们将用糯米团奖励牛群以表达他们的感激之情)”可知,奖励耕牛不是为了祈求好运,而是表达感激。故选D项。
