二、阅读理解
Smetimes it’s hard t let g.Fr many British peple，that can apply t institutins and bjects that represent their cuntry’s past—age-ld castles，splendid red phne bxes.
Beaten first by the march f technlgy and lately by the terrible weather in junkyards(废品场)，the phne bxes representative f an age are nw making smething f a cmeback.Adapted in imaginative ways，many have reappeared n city streets and village greens husing tiny cafes，cellphne repair shps r even defibrillatr machines(除颤器)．
The riginal irn bxes with the rund rfs first appeared in 1926.They were designed by Giles Gilbert Sctt，the architect f the Battersea Pwer Statin in Lndn.After becming an imprtant part f many British streets，the phne bxes began disappearing in the 1980s，with the rise f the mbile phne sending mst f them away t the junkyards.
Abut that time，Tny Inglis’ engineering and transprt cmpany gt the jb t remve phne bxes frm the streets and sell them ut.But Inglis ended up buying hundreds f them himself，with the idea f repairing and selling them.He said that he had heard the calls t preserve the bxes and had seen hw sme f them were listed as histric buildings.
As Inglis and，later ther businessmen，gt t wrk，repurpsed phne bxes began reappearing in cities and villages as peple fund new uses fr them.Tday，they are nce again a familiar sight，playing rles that are ften just as imprtant fr the cmmunity as their riginal purpse.
In rural areas，where ambulances can take a relatively lng time t arrive，the phne bxes have taken n a lifesaving rle.Lcal rganizatins can adpt them fr 1 pund，and install defibrillatrs t help in emergencies.
Others als lked at the phne bxes and saw business pprtunities.LveFne，a cmpany that advcates repairing cellphnes rather than abandning them，pened a mini wrkshp in a Lndn phne bx in 2016.
The tiny shps made ecnmic sense，accrding t Rbert Kerr，a funder f LveFne.He said that ne f the bxes generated arund $13,500 in revenue a mnth and cst nly abut $400 t rent.
Inglis said phne bxes called t mind an age when things were built t last.“I like what they are t peple，and I enjy bringing things back，” he said.
16. The phne bxes are making a cmeback .
A. t frm a beautiful sight f the city B. t imprve telecmmunicatins services
C. t remind peple f a histrical perid D. t meet the requirement f green ecnmy
17. Why did the phne bxes begin t g ut f service in the 1980s?
A. They were nt well-designed. B. They prvided bad services.
C. They had t shrt a histry. D. They lst t new technlgies.
18. The phne bxes are becming ppular mainly because f .
A. their new appearance and lwer prices B. the push f the lcal rganizatins
C. their changed rles and functins D. the big funding f the businessmen
A “secretive” new species f frg has been discvered n the frest flr in India’s Western Ghat muntain range. Named the starry dwarf frg after the markings n its dark brwn back，it is just 2 centimeters lng.
The frg，whse clsest relatives are a grup f species native t India and Sri Linka，is the nly member f an ancient lineage(血统) dating back t millins f years ag，accrding t researchers frm India and the US. It is unclear whether the species is descended(传下来) frm African r Asian frgs.
A grup f Indian and US researchers first came acrss the lcal species hidden in leaf-litter as part f a wider prject t lk fr new frgs，lizards and snakes in the richly bidiverse(生物多样化的) site and stred it in a jar fr later study. Genetic testing and a clser lk at its shape，cluring and ther features have shwn that it desn’t match any existing species. Kartik Shanker f the Indian Institute f Science，wh helped design the study，says while it is cmmn t find new frg in India，this ne needs t be nticed. “This particular species nt just is a new species，but als belngs t a new genus(属)，and that makes it a little mre special，” says Shanker.
The number f knwn species f frg identified in India has climbed frm arund 200 t abve 400 ver the past tw decades. While many species new t science are ften cnsidered as endangered at nce，it is t early t say whether the starry dwarf frg is threatened. “They are very secretive，” says Shanker，adding that the team didn’t knw the size f its ppulatin. The frg is active at night and lives near water.
Habitat lss is a serius risk t frgs in trpical frests arund the wrld，alngside threats such as a deadly fungus(真菌) that has been killing ff amphibians(两栖动物) fr the past fur decades. But the new species was fund in a reserved frest，meaning it will enjy a degree f prtectin by Indian gvernment agencies.
19. What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A. The species was discvered by turists. B. The species was fund in a rich regin.
C. The species was further studied. D. The species was finally set free.
20. What can we say abut the new frg?
A. It is in small numbers. B. It is an endangered species.
C. It is well wrth attentin. D. It is related t African frgs.
21. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Habitat lss is the chief threat t frgs. B. The new species may face less dangers.
C. Trpical frests in India are all under prtectin. D. The Indian gvernment determines t save frgs.
22. Where is this text prbably taken frm?
A. A pet guide. B. A scial website.
C. A travel jurnal. D. A science reprt.
What d the fllwing places have in cmmn：the Serengeti Desert，Edinburgh’s Old Twn and the Mnarch Butterfly Bisphere Reserve?
The Serengeti Desert is in Tanzania and Kenya，Africa.It cntains thusands f kilmeters f dry grasslands and many rare kinds f animals.
Edinburgh’s Old Twn is in the capital city f Sctland.It has many ld buildings and streets.There are very few new buildings in Edinburgh’s Old Twn.
The Mnarch Butterfly Bisphere Reserve is near Mexic City in Mexic.It has beautiful flwers and frests.It is als the hme f millins f butterflies in the winter.
These three places are very different.But they are all under special prtectin by UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)．They are Wrld Heritage Sites.
The stry f Wrld Heritage Sites begins mre than 3,000 years ag.At that time，the great king f Egypt built many temples.But after thusands f years，sand cvered them.
Stries tell f a yung by named Abu Simbel wh fund the temples.One day，Abu Simbel saw smething under the sand.Sn，the ancient temples f Ramses Ⅱwere fficially rediscvered.But they were nt safe.The gvernment f Egypt planned t build a dam n the Nile River.It wuld create a large lake，which wuld cver the temples in water.
Many peple did nt want the temples destryed.UNESCO agreed and raised 40 millin dllars frm arund the wrld t save the temples.Frm 1964 t 1968，engineers tk the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds f meters back frm the Nile River.Tday，they are called the Abu Simbel Temples，in memry f the yung by wh first fund them.
The effrt t save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success.S in 1972，UNESCO frmed the Wrld Heritage Cmmittee，which prtects places n the earth that are f great cultural r natural value.
Any cuntry in the wrld can ask fr prtectin frm UNESCO.The cuntries send a list f places t the Wrld Heritage Cmmittee.Once a year，the Wrld Heritage Cmmittee meets and vtes n which places t prtect.When they chse a place，it fficially becmes a Wrld Heritage Site.
23. What’s special abut Edinburgh’s Old Twn?

C. It’s in the capital city f Sctland. D. It has the ldest streets in the wrld.

25. The last paragraph mainly deals with .

C. hw ften the Wrld Heritage Cmmittee wrks D. why cuntries ask fr prtectin frm UNESCO
Researchers at Baylr University were curius abut whether there was a way t imprve student perfrmance.In particular，they wndered whether a technique called “targeted memry reactivatin(激活，重启)” (TMR) culd be useful fr studying.In TMR，certain signals reactivate memries frmed during the day while a persn is asleep.The researchers fcused n music.
A few university students tk part in the experiment.They were asked t take a class n micrecnmics(微观经济学)，which they wuld be tested n the fllwing day.During the lessn，all participants listened t three pieces f classical music.Then they spent the night in the sleep lab and while they were fast asleep，sunds were played in the backgrund.Fr half f the participants，the sund was white nise，but the ther half were played the three pieces they had listened t while studying.The next day they tk the test and the test scres shwed that the students wh had been expsed t the “study music” while sleeping perfrmed better n the test.
There were a few reasns why the research grup selected three classical music pieces as study music.Such music is much less distracting than music with lyrics(歌词)．And the researchers als wanted t make sure that the music they played had bvius meldies(旋律)，s that the brain culd mre easily frm cnnectins between the music and the study material.The three pieces they chse fit the bill perfectly.
Unfrtunately，music culd imprve test scres the next day，but after a few mnths the music listeners were back t the same level as the students wh slept with white nise in the backgrund.Besides，the effect seemed t be mre nticeable fr female students than it was fr men.Either way，listening t music at night is a study trick that culd just make the difference between a passing r failing test fr sme peple.
26. What did the Baylr researchers try t find ut?
A. The benefits f classical music. B. Why TMR is helpful fr studying.
C. Whether music can imprve study. D. Ways t ensure a gd night’s sleep.
27. What did the participants d during the experiment?
A. They played different music in class. B. They listened t study music while taking the test.
C. They put n the music f their chice while sleeping. D. They listened t either white nise r study music at night.
28. Why were these pieces f classical music selected as study music?
A. They are related t the study material. B. They have distinct meldies.
C. They have memrable lyrics. D. They are familiar t students.
29. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. The effect f music wre ff ver time. B. The study trick made n difference t tests.
C. White nise has the same effect as classical music. D. Male students benefited greatly frm the study trick.
三、七选五
Cming face-t-face with yur inadequacies(缺点) can be painful，t say the least. __30__ It even makes yu questin yurself.Yur knee-jerk reactin may be t get defensive r even dismiss the critique entirely.But handling negative feedback with grace will nt nly make yu lk gracius，but it culd ultimately help yu grw as a persn.Here’s hw t d it.

【解析】1．考查词形转换。由于修饰的是整个句子，需用bvius的副词形式。
2．考查非谓语动词。此处为现在分词短语planning t walk t the nearest gas statin作伴随状语，逻辑主语I与分词动作plan之间是主动关系。
3．考查词形转换。空格中所填单词在句中作cncerned abut的宾语，且前面有物主代词my修饰，故用safe的名词形式safety。
4．考查名词单复数。a few后接名词复数形式。
5．考查非谓语动词。T repay Jhnny是不定式短语作目的状语。
6．考查介词。根据句意可知，这里填fr表示“为了”。
7．考查连词。此处thugh/althugh引导让步状语从句。句意：尽管他处于那样的境况，却拥有满满的正能量。
8．考查非谓语动词。Tuched by Jhnny’s selflessness是过去分词短语作状语，表示原因，逻辑主语Kate与分词动作tuch之间是被动关系。
9．考查动词的时态语态和主谓一致。s far作状语，句子常用现在完成时；主语$100，000是谓语动词动作cllect的承受者，用被动语态。金钱作主语，谓语动词用单数。
10．考查定语从句。此处为关系代词that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词everything，关系代词在从句中作主语。
