It’s been 10 years since Yasuo Takamatsu lost his wife Yuko when a tsunami(海啸)hit the town of Onagawa, but he continues to search for her every weekend.
On the day when Yuko disappeared, in 2011, Yasuo Takamatsu received the last text message from her. It read “Are you OK? I’m coming home.”
Since then, he has been looking for her and won’t stop until he finds her. “I’m sure she is on the way home. She has never gone back on her words,” Yasuo insists.
In the beginning, he searched for Yuko on land, starting at the bank where she was last seen, then along the beaches of Onagawa, in nearby forests and mountains.
Two years after her disappearance, Yasuo registered at a local diving school to take diving lessons, so he could start searching for her in the sea. He has been going on weekly dives for the past seven and a half years, racking up almost 500 underwater searches.
Yasuo Takamatsu has been aided in his underwater searches by Masayoshi Takahashi, the diving instructor who taught him to dive. He has been keeping track of Yasuo’s searches, recording what areas he has combed, where the dead bodies might gather on the seabed, etc.
Apart from his own weekly dives, the 64-year-old also joins local authorities in underwater searches for the 2,500 people who remain lost following the 2011 tsunami. In his searches, Takamatsu has found all sorts of things belonging to the missing persons, but nothing helps him find his wife. He refuses to give up, though.
24．What kept Yasuo searching for his wife for 10 years?
A．The belief that she is still alive. B．A new text from his wife.
C．Takahashi’s selfless assistance. D．The latest survivors he found.
25.What does the underlined phrase “racking up” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

Chinese officials announced today that pandas in China are no longer considered an endangered species and they have been updated to “vulnerable” species.
Internationally, pandas in China have been considered “vulnerable（渐危的）” for five years. The International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN)removed them from its list of endangered species in 2016—a decision that Chinese officials challenged at the time.“If we relax the conservation work, our achievements would be quickly lost, because their natural habitats have been broken up by roads, railways and other forms of human development. The animals that live in small groups of as few as 10 pandas will struggle to reproduce and face the risk of disappearing altogether, although the total number of pandas in China seems big enough,” China’s State Forestry Administration said at the time.
At the end of 2016, when IUCN first made its decision, there were 1,864 pandas living in the wild. That number was a significant increase from less than 1,000 in the 1980s due to hunting and forest destruction until Beijing threw its full weight behind preserving the animal.
The Chinese government and the World Wildlife Fund first established the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province in 1980. Then panda skin trade was banned in 1987. As wild panda numbers had increased in the 1990s, China gradually expanded its protected forest areas to 5,400 square miles in the 2000s.
In a statement, the World Wildlife Fund called the removal of pandas from the endangered list another sign of hope for the species. “Thanks to decades of cooperation among the Chinese government, local communities and companies, the pandas’ future is more secure,” it said. “China’s successful conservation of pandas shows what can be achieved when political will and science join forces.”
Animal groups around the world also welcomed the recovery of the pandas that have long been a symbol of China and the global conservation movement.
28．Why did China refuse to remove pandas from the list of endangered species in 2016?
A．The population of pandas was too small.
B．China did not finish the IUCN program yet.
C．Pandas had to be trained to live in small groups.
D．More efforts were needed to improve the habitats.
29．When did China start to significantly speed up its efforts to protect pandas?
A．In the 1970s. B．In the 1980s.
C．In the 1990s. D．In the 2000s.
30．What was unlikely the common threat to pandas in the 1990s?
A．Panda hunting. B．Human development.
C．Forest destruction. D．Railway construction.
31．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A．Assessments from the World Wildlife Fund.
B．Positive reactions from international organizations.
C．The importance of political will and scientific methods.
D．The necessity of joint efforts from communities and companies.

D
A laser-powered robotic climber has won $900,000 in a competition designed to stimulate technology for a future elevator to space.
Building a space elevator would require fixing a cable on the ground near Earth’s equator and deploying（部署）the other end thousands of kilometers into space. The centrifugal（离心的）force due to Earth’s spin would keep the cable tight so that a robot could climb it and release payloads into orbit.
Building a space elevator would make for cheaper trips into space than is possible using rockets. To achieve that end, NASA offered $2 million in prize money in a competition called the Power Beaming Challenge, in which robotic climbers, powered wirelessly from the ground, attempt to climb up a cable as fast as possible.
Now, a robotic climber has made a prize-winning ascent worth $900,000, making it the first to win money in the competition, which has occurred annually since 2005. The winning climber was built by a team called Laser Motive, based in Seattle, Washington. Like the other two vehicles in the competition,it used solar cells to absorb energy from a ground-based infrared （红外的）laser.
On Wednesday, Laser Motive fired up its laser, powering the climber to climb 900 meters up a cable. The climber reached the top in just over 4 minutes, for an average speed of 3.7meters per second. The team’s climber repeated the achievement at a slightly higher speed of
3.9 meters per second on Thursday. On Friday, two other teams failed in their final attempted climbs. That means Laser Motive will receive the entire $900,000 NASA set aside for climbers that could make the climb faster than 2 meters per second. The remaining $1.1million in NASA prize money was reserved for climbs faster than 5 meters per second, which none of the competitors was able to achieve.
Though a space elevator remains a distant prospect, NASA is thrilled about its technological advances. It is now interested in wireless power transmission for other applications, like sending power to lunar rovers travelling in shadowed craters（阴影环形山）, where solar energy is unavailable.
32．What do we know about the Power Beaming Challenge?
A．It offered prize money to support NASA.
B．It was powered wirelessly from the ground.
C．It was a competition first launched in 2005.
D．It was the first to win money in the competition.
33．What is the best achievement that Laser Motive has got in the competition?
A．3.7 meters per second. B．3.9 meters per second.
C．2 meters per second. D．5 meters per second.
34．Why is NASA thrilled about the technological advances of space elevator?
A．Because it may stimulate unexpected applications.
B．Because it demonstrates the possibility of space traveling.
C．Because it can send lunar rovers to travel in shadowed craters.
D．Because it can generate power when solar energy is unavailable.

35．What is the best title for the text?
A．“Space Elevator” Wins $900,000 NASA Prize
B．Laser Motive Unveils Its Secret Technology
C．A Robotic Climber Rides an Elevator to Space
D．Space Elevator Stimulates the Advance of Technology

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you’ve had a bad night’s sleep, or you’ve just got too much to do, the last thing you want to be told is to “be positive!” 36 .
Of course, developing a positive attitude is easier said than done — it doesn’t come naturally to everyone.When you’re feeling down, it is hard to be optimistic. But a study has found that people who are optimists are more likely to live longer than those who have a more negative approach to life. So, maybe once you think of a longer life, 37 .
The study concluded that optimists may find it easier to control emotions and get less stressed. And as stress impacts on the immune system, 38 . Professor Lewina Lee from Boston University said: “Our findings speak to the possibility that raising levels of optimism may promote longevity and healthy aging.”And she advises that pessimists could benefit from doing things like imagining a future where everything turns out well.
But if you’re a ‘glass half empty’ type of person, could seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses work for you? Every bean has its black. 39 . Some people say it's best to celebrate the positives and ignore the negative parts of our lives.
40 .Vicki Siska says “Music feeds my soul, a sense of humour keeps things in perspective（正确地）”. Pippa Kennedy says “being grateful for what you have!” Other people recommend doing yoga and meditation as well as staying fit to help maintain a positive outlook on life.
A．Accepting this helps us control our emotions
B．Accept it and make efforts to improve yourself
C．it’s possible that optimists better handle infections
D．But having this mindset could have many benefits
E．But it could help you have a positive outlook on life
F．it might encourage you to have a more hopeful outlook on life
G．People have their personal advice on keeping a positive approach to life

My 51 didn’t change until early this year, when I felt upset and 52 crafting as a way out.One day I made a gift for a friend and received sincere 53 . I suddenly realized that maybe my crafting was something I should accept rather than hide.

Nilsa stared at the clock on the classroom wall, daydreaming about lunch. Her mother had prepared a thermos(保温瓶)full of sancocho. It was one of Nilsa’s favorite dishes, and the national dish of Panama-a country in central America and the hometown of Nilsa’s family. Just thinking about sancocho made her mouth water.
Finally, it was time for lunch.Nilsa carefully poured some sancocho into a bowl. When she looked up, she saw her classmates staring.
“What is that? It smells really bad,” said Gus,covering his nose. “It’s sancocho,” Nilsa responded. “It’s kind of like chicken soup.” Codi glanced at the bowl and said, “Soup? It’s more like a science experiment.” He laughed, pointed to his lunch, and asked, “That’s one weird lunch. Why don’t you eat something normal, like pizza?” Nilsa looked at everyone else’s lunches: pizza, fries, and sandwiches. Suddenly she didn’t feel hungry anymore.
When Nilsa returned home and complained about her classmates’ negative comments, her mother wasn’t mad. Instead, she listened attentively and reminded Nilsa that there is no such thing as “normal” or “weird” food,and that different cultures have their own unique dishes that are loved and appreciated by those who grew up with them.
Nilsa’s mother also suggested making a fresh batch for Nilsa to bring to school the next day. “Then you can share it with your classmates and tell them sancocho tastes great, and that our family has been eating it for hundreds of years. Your great-grandmother taught your grandmother who then taught me.”
Nilsa nodded in excitement, and she was grateful for the opportunity to share her favorite dish with her classmates.

54．A根据上文中的"I suddenly realized that maybe my crafting was something I should accept rather than hide"可知，作者突然意识到也许手工制作是自己应该接受而不是隐藏的事情。所以，作者决定不再对同学们掩藏(screening)。screen常作名词，意为"屏幕",在此处为动词，意为"掩藏，遮蔽"。
55．C他们的反应始终(consistently)是积极的。
语法填空：
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一名外国人学习中文的经历和感悟。
56．a考查冠词。《卜算子·咏梅》是一首著名的诗。此处表泛指，且famous的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
57．into/to考查介词。Ferrer用英文朗诵了名诗《卜算子·咏梅》，成功入围网络比赛，并一直坚持到决赛。entrance和into/to搭配，意为"进入……"。
58．have been offered/was offered考查时态和语态。本句表示在Ferrer的学生生涯中，她获得过很多奖项。动词offer与主语I是被动关系，此处可以用现在完成时表达过去发生的动作对现在的影响，故可填have been offered。此外，获奖发生在过去，故也可填was offered。
59．to overcome考查非谓语动词。这首诗传达了一个非常强烈的信息，即不管面对什么情况，在生活中都要乐观、忠诚，从而去克服困难。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语sends,所以此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
60．attending考查非谓语动词。她在2015年参加了哈瓦那唐人街的中国艺术与传统之家的一门课程，从此开始学习汉语。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语began, 空处作状语，表伴随，又因she和attend之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词。
61．unlock考查谓语动词。中国诗歌可以帮助人们了解大量的关于中国丰富的文化和职业道德的知识。lock意为"锁上",unlock意为"揭示，打开，解锁"。
62．institutions考查名词复数。根据常识以及空后的"such as the Confucius Institu (可推知，此处应是表示在众多机构的努力下，又因institution是可数名词，故应用institution的复数形式。
63．which考查定语从句。过去几年，多亏了孔子学院等机构的努力，中国语言和文化的学习在古巴越来越受欢迎。自2009年(孔子学院)成立以来，已有数千名学生毕业。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，且指物，故填which。
64．beauty考查名词。中国诗歌传递了我们的语言之美。根据句意可知，此处应用名词。
65．effective考查形容词。中国诗歌传递了我们的语言之美，为我们的价值观、原则和人生哲学的推广创造了一个有效且重要的平台。从空后的"and"看出，空处应为形容词，与后面的important并列，一起修饰后面的名词platform,故用effective。

读后续写：
The next day at lunch, Nilsa pulled out her thermos. Nilsa scooped up a big spoonful and asked her friends,"It's delicious. Who wants a taste?" Her classmates looked hesitant, but one by one they each took a tiny sip of the sancocho. To Nilsa’s surprise, their faces lit up with delight. Gus commented on how the flavors of the different meats and vegetables blended so well, while even Codi praised the tender texture of the meat. Nilsa felt a sense of pride and joy as she watched her classmates enjoy her favorite dish.
When Nilsa returned home and greeted her mother that day, her happiness was beyond description. She told her mother how her classmates loved the sancocho and even asked for the recipe. Nilsa’s mother smiled, pleased that her daughter was carrying on the family’s cooking traditions. She handed Nilsa a handwritten recipe card, explaining each step carefully as they went through the recipe together. As they finished, Nilsa’s mother gave her a warm hug and said, “Now you can make sancocho for your friends, and they will feel like they are part of our family.” Nilsa felt grateful to have such a rich cultural heritage, and she couldn’t wait to share it with the world.
