One summer during high school, my mom volunteered me to help Grandpa research our family tree. Great, I thought, imagining hours spent pawing through dusty, rotting boxes and listening to boring stories about people I didn't know. "You'll be surprised," my mom promised, "Family histories can be very interesting."

In truth, Grandpa didn't want to limit my work to just research, hoping to also preserve our family memories. He'd discovered a computer program that helps digitally scan old pictures and letters to preserve their contents before they crumble from old age. Grandpa wanted me to help him connect the scanner and set up the computer program. Ile could type documents and send emails, but had never used a scanner.

Soon after, I became fascinated with my relatives' lives. I asked Grandpa to tell the story behind every picture and letter we scanned. The stories, which turned out not to be boring at all, helped me not only understand but also relate to my relatives. I became so hungry for more information that Grandpa needed additional props to keep me satisfied. He showed me a chest filled with random stuff, all covered in dust.

Perusing through their belongings, I felt I was opening a window into the world of my relatives, a world long since gone. Grandpa showed me a bundle of letters he had sent to Grandma from the front lines of World War II and I could almost smell the gunpowder. I turned the pages of my great-grandmother's recipe book and could picture her cooking in her kitchen. All of the people who had been merely names to me now had faces to match.

Later, Grandpa admitted, "I probably could have done this project myself. I just wanted someone to share it with." I can't thank him enough for sharing the experience and making me appreciate the family members who have made me the person I am. I will cherish family memories and hope that someday will be able to pass them down to my own grandchildren.

4. Which of the following can best describe the author's first impression of research?

A. Delightful. B. Tiresome.

C. Surprising. D. Interesting

5. What does the underlined word "crumble" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Come to life. B. Tear apart.

C. Fall to pieces. D. Break through.

6. Why did Grandpa give the author a chest?

A. To show him a bundle of letters.

B. To keep him away from boredom.

C. To give him something to sort out.

D. To fulfill his desire to know more.

7. What can we learn about Grandpa from the passage?

A. He used to serve in the army.

B. He knew nothing about computer.

C. He buried the letters under gunpowder.

D. He loved sharing what he had with others.

C

With advanced communication technologics making the iconic British red telephone boxes expendable（可抛弃的）, a US firm is all set to bring them back to use. Call boxes would be changed into mini-offices for workers on-the-go and will offer free coffee to subscribers（认购者）.

Bar Works Inc's chief executive Jonathan Black, a Briton living in New York, said that his company will renew telephone boxes with fully functional printers, scanners, 25-inch screens and Wi-Fi. Bar Works specializes in offering bar-themed work stations in prime locations, charging customers with a monthly subscription in return for free access to the business and office supplies. The company plans to operate in a similar manner, offering British customers with monthly memberships to "Pod Works" for £19.99（$29）.

The company will refit telephone boxes in five major British cities and has already rented and changed 15 old call boxes in London and Edinburgh. As expected, they are coming into use by the public in the coming months. "Given the prime location, above all else, of the telephone boxes, the launch is expected to gain at least 10, 000 members by the end of 2021. It's an alternative to, say, Starbucks but obviously it provides you with total privacy. " said Black.

Thanks to mobile phones, the red telephone boxes have been effectively made expendable. According to a report by the Daily Mail, retired telephone boxes, especially those damaged deliberately, are sent to a "telephone box graveyard" of sorts, where they take great pains to restore to their former glory before being sold to collectors across the globe. Such is the demand for properly restored telephone boxes, that it is not uncommon for them to be sold for amounts as high as £10, 000.

Despite its setback, in a recent survey, the British red telephone box, which was originally designed in 1920, was voted the greatest British design of all time.

8. What will the red telephone boxes be used for?

A. Mini-offices. B. Mini coffee boxes.

C. Bar-themed call boxes. D. Leisure rooms for workers.

9. What do you know about the renewed telephone boxes?

A. They will be put into use next year.

B. They offer as much privacy as Starbucks.

C. They will be equipped with office supplies.

D. They have been rented in five major British cities.

10. What is Black's attitude towards the launch?

A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Cautious. D. Uncertain.

11. What's the purpose of writing about the telephone boxes in this passage?

A. To arouse concern for them. B. To introduce their new role.

C. To expand a larger market D. To advertise their launch.

D

Growing up in a city has a lifelong negative impact on a person's ability to navigate, according to a vast global survey.

In a new study, scientists led by Antonine Coutrot at Nantes University in France and Hugo Spiers at University College London describe how they used a dataset（数据集）gathered from 4 millions players of a computer game called "Sea Hero Quest", which tests way-finding skills by asking players to memorise a map showing the location of checkpoints and then measuring how well players can steer a boat to find them.

Dr. Spiers found that the strongest indicator of a high score was a player's age——older people performed relatively poorly. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to offset（抵消）some of that, Data from American players showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.

"The gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people was largest in America, and the researchers think they know why. They found that countries dominated by simple layouts of grid-based（网格式的）cities dragged down navigation skills more than growing up in a city based around more complicated networks of streets, such as Prague.

Dr. Spiers says that the brain's navigational abilities probably weaken in the city environment because they are not being used as much. Although cities may appear more complicated, they also feature more clues to help residents find their way, such as numbered streets. As many city-dwellers on a visit to the countryside can prove, one field tends to look much the same as another, so there are fewer external（外部的）landmarks to help guide the way.

While people who live in cities should not be alarmed, the study does raise some interesting ideas for urban planners: keep their city designs not so simple perhaps. And for everyone else, it might be an idea to turn off Google Maps.

12. Why did the researchers use the dataset from a computer game?

A. To study the players' memory.

B. To measure how well people control boats.

C. To improve the players' skill to find way out.

D. To see what influences people's way-finding skills.

13. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Strong indicator. B. Poor performance.

C. Old age. D. High score.

14. What weakens the brain's navigational abilities according to Dr. Spiers?

A. Lack of practice. B. Few external landmarks.

C. Living in the countryside. D. Complicated city environment.

15. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Ways to Improve Navigational Skills

B. Reasons to Design Complicated Cities

C. Urban Living Weakens Navigational Skills

D. Turn off Google Maps while Exploring City

47. 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，续写的字数应为150左右.

When I was a child growing up in the Netherlands, I often begged my mother to tell me this story about an experience her family had at the end of World War Ⅱ.

During the terrible last winter of the German occupation, food was rare in the Netherlands. People were so hungry that they began to eat small animals and many things not normally considered edible（可食用的）, including tulip bulbs（郁金香球茎）, which could be cooked like potatoes.

For centuries my mother's family had owned a highly successful tulip business, which provided jobs for many in our village. But the war shut their business down, and during the winter of hunger, my grandfather, Albert, donated all his tulip bulbs to feed the hungriest villagers. For years, Albert had been trying to grow a black tulip. By careful selection, he was very close. So he guarded these few bulbs seriously to prevent people from stealing them for food.

One day, it was announced that the war was over. But there was much destruction and the Dutch people still faced dangers. My grandfather looked at his pale, thin children and realized that the hunger could continue for a long time, so he made his decision. He seized a shovel（铁铲）and went into the garden. There he found my mother, Vivian, who was just seven years old, looking nervous. Over her shoulder, Albert saw a band of Germans coming toward them down the street. He whispered to Vivian to run inside the house and began digging for his bulbs. But it was too late. Someone had already stolen them. Angry and desperate, he ran toward the street screaming, "They have stolen my tulip bulbs!" Vivian, watching from the doorway, cried out and ran to stop him. Before she could reach her father, a German soldier raised his gun and shot him.

注意：

1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右；

2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好.

Fortunately, Albert survived his wounds and recovered slowly.

【答案】Dear friends,

I'm here to make some proposals, aiming to call on all of us not to waste food in our campus. Students can be seen waste food in the dining hall. They may order too much for their meals or they may feel the food not delicious or they may think it is a shame to take the food away. They may forget the line of the famous poem, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work" or actually don't get its real meaning. So what should we do to stop this? First, we should order a proper amount of food and not be too picky about food. Besides, if we cannot eat all the food we order, take-it-away is good choice. Saving food is everybody's responsibility. Let's start right now!

【答案】1. Fortunately, Albert survived his wounds and recovered slowly. And he was told that the tulip bulbs had also survived. One day, Vivian took him to a deserted house. He was overwhelmingly joyed as he noticed something green among the broken bricks of the house. Vivian explained that a friendly German soldier urged her to hide the remaining bulbs away from the yard as he had watched as Albert gave away the precious bulbs to feed his neighbors, which impressed him a lot. With the good news, Albert was determined to start his business again.

It took some time for Albert to rebuild his business, starting with those few bulbs. With the help of his family, Albert owned a highly successful tulip business again. The rare dark-purple tulips eventually became an enormous source of income for the people in the village and provided many much-needed jobs. Tulips rose from the ruins and came to bloom again, which suggests that there could again be happiness after so much misery and new life after much death.

2. Fortunately, Albert survived his wounds and recovered slowly. He often sat by the window staring out into the garden, regretting not giving the bulbs to his family sooner. One day, he noticed something growing out from the ruins, which turned out to be the shoots of his black tulip. With tears in her eyes, my mother finally could tell him the truth——she hid the remaining bulbs by a wall because she didn't want Albert to end up with nothing. But the unexpected Germans came, and what's worse, the wall later collapsed, burying the hidden bulbs.

It took some time for Albert to rebuild his business, starting with those few bulbs. The rare black tulip bulbs survived like their owner who survived the gun shot, and the people in the village who survived the war, the tears, and despair. Since that warm and bright spring morning, they have been flourishing, becoming an enormous source of income for the people in the village and providing many much-needed jobs. The little bulbs that once saved lives in the war now eventually boomed again, bringing hope and happiness back to the country.
