Bats appear many times in literature and history, and have different roles depending on where you find them. But bats have an important role to play in our eco-system, and some of them are becoming endangered. International Bat Night was established to help people grasp some facts about bats. While we often think of bats as predators (捕食者) feeding on blood, the truth is quite different. Yes, there are bats that feed on blood, but they mostly feed on insects.
Bats are one of the major factors in reducing the numbers of obnoxious night insects like mosquitoes (蚊子) . If you're a camper, you'll know how uncomfortable mosquitoes can make an otherwise pleasant camping. There are also bats that feed on nectar (花蜜) , and help to spread the seeds of plants, in many cases where they're the only ones working to help those plants produce! These are just a few of the qualities that bats own. There are far more than that, and International Bat Night is a great time to learn about them.
At International Bat Night, you can enjoy the quiet of the evening and watch the skies in your nearest bat habitat. Maybe it's a night out in the woods, or just sitting at your front door if you're fortunate enough. If you're feeling both generous and adventurous, you can head out to one of your local Bat Conservatories and celebrate the night with the workers there while making a contribution to their work. Volunteer with them and help protect our flying friends!
28. What is the purpose of establishing International Bat Night?
A. To start a war against bats. B. To reduce the number of bats.
C. To introduce the history of bats. D. To get people to know some facts about bats.
29. What does the underlined word "obnoxious" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Active. B. Tiny. C. Unpleasant. D. Dangerous.
30. What benefit of bats is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Bats can prevent diseases by feeding on mosquitoes.
B. Bats play a role in promoting the plants' production.
C. Bats fly at night without disturbing human activities.
D. Bats can gather all the nectar from fruit and vegetables.
31. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. What to do to give protection to bats. B. How to become a volunteer at the event.
C. How to celebrate International Bat Night. D. What to watch at International Bat Night.

D
A team of communication professors from the Brigham Young University discovered that people using the social media platform Facebook can be divided into four different categories (类别) . Their findings basically tell us why an average of l.28 billion people check their Facebook every day, with most users spending about 35 minutes daily on Facebook.
To identify (鉴定) different kinds of Facebook users, the researchers made a list of 48 reasons why people use Facebook. They then asked study subjects to report their personal connection to the reasons, rating each from "most like me" to "least like me". To get a better understanding of them, the researchers interviewed each subject.
Based on the results, the researchers identified four categories of Facebook users: relationship builders, town criers (街头公告员) , selfies (自拍) and window shoppers.
Relationship builders and selfies often post pictures, videos and text updates on their Facebook. Relationship builders post mainly to further strengthen the relationships they have beyond the virtual (虚拟的) world. Selfies are more focused on getting attention, likes and comments. Town criers often post information, and share news stories and details of events. On the other hand, window shoppers are more likely to be onlookers who prefer watching what other people do.
The researchers noted that Facebook users may place themselves in more than one of the categories. For example, most people are likely to be selfies. However, users can find themselves more in one category than the others.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Most users visit Facebook every day.
B. Facebook seriously affects people's normal lives.
C. 1.28 billion people in total have registered Facebook.
D. Users spend at most 35 minutes on Facebook every day.
33. What did the researchers ask the subjects to do?
A. Posting pictures on Facebook.
B. Sharing what they do on Facebook.
C. Explaining why they use Facebook.
D. Dividing the users into four categories.
34. What is the difference between relationship builders and selfies?
A. Selfies enjoy making comments on others.
B. Selfies intend to get more attention from others.
C. Relationship builders take an interest in the virtual world.
D. Relationship builders use Facebook to share details of events.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Facebook is becoming more and more popular.
B. People can't live comfortably without Facebook.
C. Researchers suggest limiting time on Facebook.
D. Researchers have identified four kinds of Facebook users.

My father is a practical man. He can't explain calculus (微积分) , but he can tell you how much pressure boiler needs. He put himself through night school to become an engineer, but that was only after he worked as an electrician and a mechanic.
One day we walked by a toy store window. Sitting in the corner was the most unusual dollhouse (玩具屋) I'd ever seen. It was shaped like an upturned log.
"Oh, Daddy," I said, "isn't it beautiful? Do you think Santa Claus will bring it to me?"
Dad looked at the $100 price tag—an exorbitant (过高的) figure in those days. "I think even Santa couldn't afford this house," he joked, hiking up his belt as he often does when he's nervous. "Maybe one day, sweetheart."
On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the dim (昏暗的) light, I made out some wrapped boxes under the tree—but none large enough to contain my dollhouse. Dad could see my disappointment. He pulled me onto his lap and gently told me how, as a boy, he had wanted a red wagon, but his father couldn't afford one. He said he made his own from wood and old wheels he found. "I'll make one for you," Dad promised me.
And right after Christmas, despite all the unfinished projects at home, he started it. I had thought it was an easy toy to make, but every step of the long process was more complex (复杂的) than I had expected. Night after night, Dad would come home from his job dead tired, yet he'd always find time to work on the log house. In the dim light, dad was always busy creating my dollhouse.

第一节 应用文写作
Many English learners find it hard to write well in English. However, if you follow the advice below, I believe you will soon make progress.
To begin with, it is important to read more English passages so that when you write, you can have rich content. Second, it makes great sense to collect useful words and expressions, which will help polish your articles. Last but not least, you may as well keep an English diary. The more you write in English, the better your English writing will be.
Practice makes perfect. Wish you could write well in English soon.
第二节 读后续写
I hesitated, wondering if I should help my father. But he seemed to know what I thought and one night said to me with a smile, “I need your help. Let’s create the dollhouse together.” “But, daddy, I don’t know how,” said I. “That doesn’t matter. I will teach you,” said my father. So every night when he worked on the dollhouse, I would sit by his side and he would patiently and lovingly teach me how to make such a toy. It was really not easy, but our efforts paid off and we finally made it.
In all, it took one month of hard work by us. My joy was beyond description at that moment.Then I heard my father saying, “I can build a lot of things, but I can’t build your life. All I can do is to help you build your own.” I would always remember his words, so the dollhouse became the most special gift to me. Long after I gave up playing dolls, I would occasionally bring it down from the attic just to admire it and remember those days when we worked together to bring my dream to life.

[解题思路]根据上文中的“He didn’t have any friends at all”可知，Nathan没有朋友。由此可推测，Nathan经常“独自”坐在饭桌前听音乐。故正确答案为A项。
42. B
[解题思路]根据上文中的“I never really liked him...listening to music with his phone.”可知，这里指Nathan没什么朋友，总是独处。同学们不喜欢他，所以大家一般从他身边走过时，也不“在意”他。故正确答案为B项。
43. D
[解题思路]根据上文中的“he would take a long time to answer it,”可知，他回答问题总是用很长时间。再结合上文中Nathan没什么朋友且同学们不喜欢他的情况可推测，这会使其他学生们感到“厌烦”。故正确答案为D项。

[解题思路]根据上文中的“Whenever he was asked a question...the whole class would laugh.”及“When I saw him, I laughed ...”和 下文中的“How could he possibly guess the note when the pitch was played?”可知，作者不喜欢Nathan, 因此作者觉得他什么事情都做“不好”，更别说听音高判断音符了。故正确答案为C项。
