When Ann was 13, she was accepted into a university to study medicine. Shortly after getting the acceptance letter, she shared the exciting news on the Internet. "I graduated from highschool last year at 12 years old. One year later, I was accepted into a university at 13. I'm a junior at college," she wrote. "I've worked so hard to reach my goals and realize my dreams," she added, going on to credit her mother because her mother gave Ann all her support.
"Mom, I made it," Ann wrote. "I couldn't have done it without you. You gave me every opportunity possible to be successful. You are the best mother a kid could ever ask for.

Just off the Florida Keys lies the world's third-largest coral reef（珊瑚礁）, which was once an energetic habitat for millions of plants and animals. But an outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease threatens to destroy 20 of the 45 species found there, including larger reef-building corals.
"This disease that is burning through the Florida Keys is an unbelievable event that is happening," said Andrew Stamper, conservation science manager at Disney's Animals, Science and Environment. "It's like a wildfire." Stamper said that would endanger Florida's fishing industry and food supply. "Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what is causing this," he said.
In order to save the reef, scientists have moved some species hundreds of miles away to a lab in Orlando. Scientists work to simulate breeding（繁殖）conditions in the lab. The conditions are exactly the same as the living conditions of the coral. The work needs a lot of care, effort and attention to detail. LED lights exactly copy the sun and moon cycles. Volunteers feed the coral in water treated to mimic its real habitat.
"This essentially is a gene bank," said Jim Kinsler, leader of SeaWorld Orlando. "We're trying to protect the genetics of these corals so that their offspring（后代）can eventually be returned back to the Florida reef area."
The task of relocating the lab-grown coral to the sea is also a detailed task. Kinsler, who is part of a team of private and public partners operating the Florida Coral Rescue Center, said, "It's the first time that many of them have been involved in rescuing an entire ecosystem,"
"We think the real challenge is just growing them out to a size, so we can test them in those waters, test their disease resistance（抵抗力）, and then breed the successful corals by the hundreds of thousands literally," said Andrew Walker, president of the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
28. What do we know about the Florida Keys?
A. It owns the world's largest coral reef.
B. A disease broke out among people there.
C. The world's third-largest coral reef is close to it.
D. It is now the habitat of millions of plants and animals.
29. What do Andrew Stamper's words mean?
A. The root of the disease is unclear.
B. A wildfire broke out in the Florida Keys.
C. The disease will spread across the Earth.
D. The disease has caused a great loss to the locals.
30. What does the underlined word "simulate" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Copy. B. Contrast. C. Escape. D. Feature.
31. What is the purpose of the research according to Andrew Walker?
A. To restore the coral in the lab.
B. To sell the coral in the normal size.
C. To make more people involved in protecting the ecosystem.
D. To produce masses of disease-resistant coral back to the sea.
D
As long as there has been the celebration of Christmas, there have been discussions about when is the right time to start decorating. Though there is no right time, it has been proved that the earlier you decorate for Christmas, the happier you are. Some people think that December 1st is the correct time to start decorating for Christmas, but is there such a thing?
A study done by the Journal of Environmental Psychology states: While no one day is better than any others, the earlier you decide to decorate for Christmas, the happier you are. Neighbors see people who decorate for Christmas early as being more friendly and cheerful than those who decorate for Christmas late, or not at all.
The Christmas season means many different things for many different people, and in most cases, the feelings are positive. Seeing the bright lights and multi-colored baubles（圣诞树装饰球）brings many people feelings of joy and nostalgia（怀旧）.
While nowadays Christmas trees are decorated with electric lights and glass baubles, things weren't so different 200 years ago. In those days, trees would be decorated with dried fruits, wrapped candies, as well as garlands（花环）made from popcorn and small berries, and everything would be lit up with lots of candles.
Now, presents are usually kept under the tree, but then, the presents were the decorations. The fruit and candies that so beautifully decorated the trees of the past would be taken down and handed out among the children at the end of the night. For some of the children in less wealthy households, this was often the only candy they would receive all year and so it was always a special occasion.
So, while it may strike people as too early to see decorated houses in November, the people that put up those decorations are just trying to spread their Christmas cheer.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By telling a sad story. B. By raising an argument.
C. By making a definition. D. By stating an odd event.
33. What decorations did people use for Christmas 200 years ago?
A. Dried fruits and wrapped candies.
B. Electric lights and glass baubles.
C. Garlands made from fresh flowers.
D. Presents piled under the tree.
34. How would people deal with the decorations in old days?
A. They would leave them untouched.
B. They would pile them under the tree.
C. They would get them down and give them to kids.
D. They would take them down and put them aside for the next year.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Christmas decorations, kids' favorite presents
B The development of the Christmas decorations
C. The new decorations for Christmas will make people happier
D. People putting up Christmas decorations earlier tend to be happier

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。
My dad is a helpful police off and I respect him very much. In his spare time, he likes volunteering to give lectures on law to the children in our community.
I remember my father took a special care of a family made up of a struggling single father, Jack, and his three sons. The elder boys seemed kind and understanding while the youngest boy, Tom, was naughty and wild. When helping Jack in life and work, my father always taught his children to obey the law.
During one visit, my dad and Jack had a deep conversation. During their talk, Jack expressed his concern about the future of his youngest boy, and said, "As we know, Tom is a clever boy, but he is too competitive. He always behaves badly at school. For some reason, he fought with his classmate again yesterday. I don't know how to deal with him." Obviously, he felt powerless to guide Tom. So, he asked for my father's advice and ideas. "Will you allow your boy to leave the city for a few days? I want to take him to spend the summer with my son in the suburbs（郊区）of our hometown." My dad offered the only solution he could think of on the spot. However, Jack agreed and was grateful to my father.
My dad decided that it would be good for Tom to see another side of family life, which he had never been experiencing. Then he discussed the plan with me. I couldn't agree more.
When the summer vacation came, we had a new member, Tom, in our family. Although we seemed very unfamiliar to him, he had no trouble adapting to the new home environment. Amazingly, we found that he was an honest and open boy and got along well with the whole family. He seemed to like playing in the backyard and particularly enjoyed swimming in the pool. Wherever my father went, he took both of us with him. It wasn't long before Tom and I became good friends. I felt so lucky to have him with me, and I even shared everything interesting with him.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My father took Tom and I to participate in all kinds of activities.

Back to his own home, Tom seemed to be a different person.
