The other day, Dino, our neighbor across the road, saw me in front of our new home in Italy and called out, “Good evening!” His English, though limited, is much better than my Italian. “You OK?” he asked.

He had greeted me before, usually with a good morning or a good evening. Once, seeing him trying to fix a tall street lamp, I'd held the ladder for him to climb. But that was pretty much it for us: a general air of friendliness, nothing more.

I'd just concluded 46 years living in New York City. But now I'm living in a town in Italy's Puglia region, and everyone here except my family is a stranger. And, living in the countryside as we do, I've started to sense pains of being disconnected.

This moment therefore seemed an opportunity to get to know Dino a little. I could have stayed behind our gates to talk with him through his gates. But instead I went across the road toward him. I stood in the street talking with Dino and his wife, Grazia — I in English, they in Italian. One minute later they invited me in for a tour.

Here was a fig tree, bearing ripe figs. Dino picked a few of the fruits, tore one in half, and put one-half in his mouth. He handed me the other half and signaled to me to follow suit, and I did.

“Delicious!” I declared.

I once saw a wonderful documentary about Gregory Peck. In it, the older actor travels to Ireland to meet his new grandson. But first, wandering a field, he happens upon a fig tree. He picks a fig and eats it with obvious delight. To me, the scene captures the sweetness of life and how such sweetness is all around us—if only we'd bother to reach out and taste it.

Dino and I repeated this sequence with trees bearing plums and walnuts, too—he picking, I tasting. Despite our differences in language—neither of us knew many of the other's words— nothing important was lost. Both of us understood all we needed to understand: that now we were true neighbors.

24. What is the author's current feeling about the new living situation?

A. He feels happy and content with his move.

B. He feels separated and kind of lonely in the new town.

C. He feels homesick and wants to go back to New York City.

D. He feels thrilled to meet new people in the new community.

25. Why did the author cross the road toward Dino?

A. To help Dino fix the street lamp.           B. To become more familiar with Dino.

C. To hold the ladder for Dino to climb.        D. To avoid talking with Dino behind the gates.

26. What did Dino do while showing the author around?

A. He picked fruits for the author to taste.        B. He showed off his private possessions.

C. He told the story of his family members.      D. He taught the author how to plant fruit trees.

27. What does the author want to prove by recalling the documentary?

A. The fig is really the sweetest fruit.        B. Fig trees can survive in any places.

C. Life is a mixture of sweet and bitter.       D. Sweetness exists in life everywhere.

C

The jack fruit is a delicious fruit found throughout certain parts of Asia. But there is more to the fruit than just its taste When considering the fruit ' English name, it is easy to become overwhelmed with questions like: “Who is Jack? And why does he have his own fruit?”

Surprisingly, “jack fruit” isn't a person's name at all. The fruit's name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham, with India thought to be the fruit's place of origin. Portuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack, which leads us to the current English name of jack fruit, according to National Public Radio（NPR）. Unfortunately, no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process.

There is another food, however, that was directly named after a person—the sandwich. In the 18 th century, playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high society. John Montagu, the 4 th ear of Sandwich, started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef between two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork.

This newly-created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirtying their cards. The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people, and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches. That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name. 浙考神墙750

Away from the world of food, there are more examples of names inspired by people. Long johns, the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter, are said to have been named after the US boxer John L. Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring（比赛）.

There are many other interesting etymologies（词源） in the English language like these. So the next time you find an interesting name, why not explore its history too?

28. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A. Puzzled.       B. Excited.     C. Worried.         D. Annoyed.

29. Where does the jack fruit's name come from?

A. A place in India.            B. An Indian word.

C. A Portuguese explorer.        D. A discoverer of the fruit.

30. What do we know about the sandwich according to the text?

A. It was named after a popular card game.

B. It was once eaten as a snack in the daytime.

C. It was first popular among the UK's middle class.

D. It was created for the convenience of playing cards.

31. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?

A. To raise readers' interest in etymology.            B. To introduce things named after people.

C. To stress the importance of learning history.        D. To explain the effects of people's names on food.

D

If humans do want to set up communities on the moon or other planets, what will they eat? A new test has begun to see if meat cells can grow.

Growing meat from cells even on Earth isn't easy. Cells from a cow（though it could be any animal）are fed the things they need to grow, like amino acids and carbohydrate. The cells multiply until muscle tissue forms, and eventually becomes meat that you can eat. This process is called “cultivation（培养）” The meat is grown in tanks that look more like what you'd find in a brewery than a farm yard. The life-cycle of an animal raised for meat—birth, life and kill—is completely ignored.

“Animal cells grow slowly,” says David Hum bird, a chemical engineer. “If bacteria were to get into the cultivation, it would grow much faster from animal cells and it will just take over so you aren't making the animal cells anymore. You ' re making bacteria. And you have to throw it away,” says Mr Humbird. “Those cells that are themselves grown on eatable material are going to be sugar, amino acids and water. And the caloric value of the cells that you make will always be less than that. At the best case you could probably recover 25% of the calorie and eat them as food. So the question is, why would you drag all those calorie into space just to waste 75% of them?”

Karen Nyberg is a former astronaut. She says food plays a crucial role in space missions. “Food like powdered milk and that sort of thing comes as a regular source for astronauts, and meat produced in space is just something we don't have. So anything like that makes us feel great and eases our pressure.” For Ms Nyberg, fresh food and vegetables are vital if humans are expected to be away from Earth for years at a time.

Certainly if humanity is serious about putting people on Mars, how to feed astronauts with nutrient-rich food that doesn't spoil—and tastes good — is an important and difficult mystery.

32. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The taste of lab-grown meat.                B. The reasons for growing meat in space.

C. The potential benefits of growing meat.        D. The process of growing meat from cow cells.

33. What is David Hum bird's attitude toward growing meat in space?

A. Optimistic.         B. Supportive.         C. Disapproving.       D. Indifferent.

34. What can we infer from what Karen said?

A. Eating is always a problem for astronauts.

B. Food tastes much better in space than on Earth.

C. Growing meat does good to astronauts' mental health.

D. Astronauts suffer from mental illnesses after long space tasks.

35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Can meat be grown in space?              B. Can astronauts enjoy meat in space?

C. Can meat in space be delicious to eat?       D. Can lab-grown meat help tackle climate?

Suppose your cell phone falls into the water accidentally, it is often possible to save it. Time is essential.   36   However, there are some practical ways you can try.

Remove the battery. After getting back your cell phone from the water, the next thing to do is to remove the battery immediately.   37   The battery itself might not work again, but it can be replaced fairly inexpensively.

Take it apart. If you have dropped your cell phone in water, it is also helpful to take it apart, if you can, and let all of the parts dry separately.   38   If it is difficult for you, you can seek professional help.

   39   If you drop your cell phone in water that isn't pure or another liquid, wash the phone with fresh water after you take out the battery. Remember! A quick wash in fresh water is unlikely to do any further damage, but salt, sugar or other materials might. Besides, an alcohol bath will remove minerals and other similar substance.

Let it dry. After your phone is clean, leave it in a warm, dry area or near an air conditioner for at least three days before you attempt to replace the battery and turn it on.   40   Putting your cell phone in a container full of dry rice grains also can help dry it out. Make sure that the rice completely covers the phone.

A. Avoid mineral damage.

B. Put minerals in fresh water.

C. Just be sure that you know how to put them back together.

D. If replacing the batteries doesn't work, have the cell phone fixed immediately.

E. This reduced the risk of a short circuit（短路） that would leave your phone useless.

F. Leaving a cell phone in water for even a few seconds might damage it beyond repair.

G. This is because the slightest water vapor can react with the battery and cause it to short circuit.

After flying all night from Washington, D. C., I was tired as I arrived at a hospital in Denver to hold a workshop on volunteer spirit. As I entered the hospital, a tired middle-aged man came over and asked me “Are you the head of the Make-A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, my name is Caleb. My daughter Nicola was diagnosed as a brain tumor（脑瘤）. Her dying wish was to learn figure-skating and performed in public.” sobbed the tear poor father.

“Here's Nicola.” Caleb said as he put her skinny hand in mine. Before me stood a sixteen-year-old girl wearing a bright red and orange hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the chemotherapy treatments（化疗） Smiling shyly, the girl began her story.

When limited to her hospital bed, Nicola took comfort in watching her favorite sport – figure skating-on TV. As the skaters twirled (旋转) in the air and glided across the ice, Nicola pictured that she was one of them, zigzagging across a glittering ice rank 溜冰场 as the audience cheered her name. After months of isolation, Nicola wanted nothing more than to be surrounded by a crowd of adoring supporters.

When she learned she would be granted a wish, Nicola came to find me with hope. She knew that what she had imagined for herself would finally become a reality. “Sir, could you please help me?” Nicola uttered, with voice a bit trembling.

Tears welling in my eyes, I was choked up. I cleared my throat, smiled and said, “Sweetheart. Thanks for making a wish. Let's make it happen.”

Soon everything was prepared for her. Together, a professional figure skater Linda and a community of kind-hearted supporters were called in to help. A local entertainment venue was arranged. For the following two months, Nicola began her training. She failed countless times in the process of being a skater. However, whenever she fell, she struggled to pull herself up and never gave up.

注意:

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答.

After weeks of training, the big day finally came.

When the performance was over, Nicola was awarded a special medal.
