In 2011, he became the first Kenyan to win a field event medal at a continental meet with gold at the All-Africa Games.A year later in London he became the first African javelin thrower to reach an Olympic final, finishing 12th, a historical moment.“To be an Olympian is something you will never forget,” he said. “So when I was named in the Olympics, I was just so happy. Luckily enough I was in the finals and that just changed all my life.”He was fourth at the 2013 World Championships and won the 2014 Commonwealth title before being crowned world champion in Beijing, China, a year later with what is the fifth-longest throw in history of 92.72m.Rio 2016 arrived and Yego was leading after three throws only to suffer an ankle injury on his fourth attempt which forced him to retire, and he looked on as Thomas Rohler of Germany overtook him to seize gold. But he is not defeated and he will have a chance to improve on that at the next Olympic Games.24. Why did Yego choose to study the javelin on the Internet?A. Because he disliked his coach’s training method.   B. Because there were no qualified trainers for him.C. Because no one knew the javelin in his country.   D. Because studying on the Internet was free.25. What made Yego start to learn the javelin?A. His failure in study at school.               B. His parents’ encouragement.C. His growing love of the javelin.             D. His discouragement in running.26. When was Yego crowned world champion in Beijing?A. In 2013.       B. In 2014.        C. In 2015.     D. In 2016.27. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Yego was defeated by Thomas Rohler and became a failure.B. Yego was forced to retire because of his injured ankle.C. Yego continues fighting despite his failure in 2016.D. Yego will surely win at the next Olympic Games. CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals.29. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute.30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money.31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting D An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle, a development that could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage. Salah Sukkarieh, a professor at the University of Sydney, sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging. He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power. It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals. A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick. Radio tags (标签) on the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape, color and texture (质地) of grass. That way, cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes. Machines have largely taken over planting, watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat, but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes. For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle. But Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job. Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick. Other cattlemen see more promise in robots. Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft. Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen, making them appealing targets.32. What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry?A. Soil pollution. B. Lack of workers.C. Aging machines. D. Low profitability.33. What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do?A. Monitor the quality of grass. B. Cure the diseased cattle.C. Move cattle to another field. D. Predict weather changes.34. Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle?A. He wants to help them earn a living. B. He thinks men can do the job better.C. He is inexperienced in using robots. D. He enjoys the traditional way of life.35. How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey?A. Increase the value of cattle. B. Bring down the cost of labor.C. Make the job more appealing. D. Keep cattle from being stolen. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。 Easy, Tasty Things to Grow in Your Fall GardenEverything seems possible in the spring and early summer garden.   36   The fall can be a fertile time, not just for harvesting long-awaited late-season tomatoes, eggplants and cucumbers. Try starting these fall garden plants now to recapture that delicious sense of possibility.Greens  37   Think of those crisp early fall days as a repeat of the spring lettuce season. Sow seeds and pick young leaves to keep your lettuce growing until a hard frost puts a pause on salad days. Dark greens like kale and chard will continue to grow deep into the fall as well.Carrots  38   Try to plant a fall crop of carrots at least eight weeks before that. Carrots are one of those vegetables that love a little cold. So the frost can help them set their sweetness and earthy flavor. Usually, carrot seeds are tiny.   39    When the seedlings peek above the ground, thin them to make them less crowded.GarlicGarlic is a bulb, just like tulips or daffodils. Plant individual garlic cloves (one organic bulb from the grocery store will get you 7—8 plants) in the mid-fall. Then cover them with one inch of soil and a nice thick layer of mulch on top. Your garlic may grow out this year.               40        What do you harvest from your fall vegetable garden? A. Find out when your area’s first expected frost is.B. Carrots are not only delicious but also nutritious.C. Spring seems the best season for every plant to grow.D. You’d better sow multiple seeds in loose soil six to eight inches apart.E. But what if we could continue to grow food right up until that cold arrives?F. However, the real prize will be waiting for you when things warm up next year.G. Lettuce is a most satisfying garden plant because it’s so easy to grow quickly from seed. 第三部分  语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I spent many years doing things seemingly "important" to me.
