“Dana, how are you feeling today?” I ask, my eyes clocking her dirty uniform, and the dark circles under her eyes.

“OK,” Dana mumbles(嘟囔).

“Have you eaten today?”

She nods. Another lie.

“Can I get you anything?” But what could I possibly get her? A bedroom of her own? A family with love?

“No, thanks.”

Repeated absence from school recently. She has worn out teachers’ patience. But I don’t want to send her back to class. What use is it knowing all the square numbers and all the grammatical rules when she has to work out how to wash, cook and decide between feeding herself or her younger sister?

“A biscuit?” I offer. It works and Dana takes the biscuit I hand her.

I remember the first time I met Dana, the day after she locked herself in the house when her mum abandoned the family. I remember thinking how young she was to have built such a high wall around herself and how on earth I could possibly break through. As a social worker, it is my job to knock down such walls no matter how.

I know it would take more than a biscuit to ease out one of her bricks. But I will try.

“How are you feeling?” I push slightly, hoping the biscuit might have softened her.

“OK,” she shrugs(耸肩). I’m about to change topics when her eyes rest on my arm.

“How does that feel, Mia?” Dana stares at me. The sleeve(袖子) of my blouse has rolled up, evidence of how deep I had put it into the biscuit can. A deep scar(伤疤) along my arm is obvious against my fair skin.

I roll my sleeve back down, “It’s from a fire. It hurt. But everything will be OK when you think it’s OK.”

Dana pauses(停顿) and picks up another biscuit. In that instant, I know something has changed in the room and we might actually be OK.

4．Why is Dana often absent from school?

A．Because she is slow at schoolwork. B．Because she is struggling with life.

C．Because she locks herself at home. D．Because she desires Mia’s attention.

5．What do we know about Mia?

A．She is eager to remove her scar. B．She is a demanding social worker.

C．She awakens Dana’s hope for future. D．She improves kid-parent relationship.

6．What does the ending of the text imply?

A．Mia gains a better understanding of Dana. B．The room is full of happiness and harmony.

C．Troubled teens require family care and support. D．A close bond is forming between Mia and Dana.

7．What is a suitable title for the text?

A．OK B．Biscuits C．A white lie D．A deep scar

As any cat owner will tell you, talking to your cat is totally normal. And even though feline(猫) friends may seem distant to these adoring talks, a new study in Animal Cognition suggests they are really listening.

Researchers in France exposed house cats to recordings of their owner or a stranger saying phrases in cat-or human-directed speech. Like baby talk, cat-directed speech is typically higher pitched with short, repetitive phrases. The team found that felines tended to react to their owner speaking in cat-directed speech—but not to their owner speaking in adult tones or to a stranger using either adult-or cat-directed speech.

Previous research had shown similar findings in dogs, but much less is known when it comes to cats. “Some people still consider cats independent—you cannot have a real relationship with cats,” says lead study author Charlotte Mouzon, a cat behaviorist at the University of Paris Nanterre. Some people might be embarrassed about using special vocalizations for cats, she says, but this research shows “people shouldn’t be ashamed.”

Mouzon and her team recorded 16 cat owners saying such as “Do you want to play?” or “Do you want a treat?” in cat-and human-directed speech. Then they filmed each cat before, during and after playing it a series of recordings of its owner and other owners’ speech. The researchers used software to rate the cats’ reactions from multiple dimensions, making the result more convincing.

“Although cats have a reputation for ignoring their owners, a growing body of research indicates that cats pay close attention to humans,” says Kristyn Vitale, a cat behavior scientist at Unity College in Maine, who was not involved in the study. “Cats can learn that specific speech has certain meanings.” But she notes the study is too small and that future work is needed to expand the research to other cat populations.

8．According to paragraph 2, what do house cats respond obviously to?

A．The owner’s cat-directed tone. B．A stranger’s human-directed talks.

C．A stranger’s cat-directed recordings. D．The owner’s human-directed speech.

9．What does the underlined word “vocalization” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Strategies. B．Trainings. C．Sounds. D．Rhymes.

10．What makes Mouzon’s findings more reliable?

A．Continuous filming of cats’ responses. B．Comprehensive analyses backed by software.

C．Multi-dimensional evaluations of cats’ habits. D．Further reference to previous studies on dogs.

11．What is the limitation of Mouzon’s research?

A．Lack of sample types. B．Absence of owners’ support.

C．Absence of scientific tools. D．Lack of experts’ involvement.

Cars powered by batteries made from seawater and planes fueled by ammonia (氨) will become common over the next 10 years, Bill David, a professor of materials chemistry has predicted.

Most batteries for electric cars and smartphones are powered by lithium (锂), which has to be mined, but David thinks that they will be overtaken by batteries made from sodium (钠), which can be obtained from seawater and salt. The future of air travel could also be greener thanks to biofuels.

David said: “We are developing an ammonia-based plane. In principle, we can improve on an Airbus A320 or a Boeing 787 and essentially replace jet fuel with ammonia.”

David said that batteries could, at first, combine sodium and lithium, as sodium was not quite as powerful as lithium but is much more sufficient. “It’s not quite perfect in terms of performance, so we need both,” David said.“Sodium is on the way up and most electric cars have had a combination of lithium and sodium batteries in them. My estimate is that by 2040 I would not be surprised if there were ten times more sodium batteries than lithium ones, maybe even 100 times.”

The first generation of mass-produced sodium batteries has been used for an electric car for the first time. Sodium will not be the final answer to eco-friendly air travel, however, which is why David’s team is looking into the use of ammonia. Some companies are looking into whether jet fuel can be replaced with hydrogen, but David sees ammonia as more sustainable. He said: “If you do the sums, then at 500mph you get the same amount of power as jet fuel, but just 40 per cent of the range. However, even with the range hit, a 787 could still go from London to New York.”

However, a report from the Royal Society on net-zero aviation, which David co-wrote, says that replacing jet fuel with biofuel would require half of the agricultural land in the UK.

12．What is an advantage of sodium batteries?

A．Their performance is easy to improve. B．Their raw material is easily accessible.

C．They are widely applied to various vehicles. D．They are more powerful than other batteries.

13．According to David, which is ideal for future electric cars?

A．Lithium battery. B．Sodium battery. C．Hydrogen fuel. D．Ammonia fuel.

14．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．Hydrogen casts a light on jet fuel market.

B．Electric car makers favor sodium batteries.

C．Ammonia features sustainability and practicability.

D．Companies have mass-produced recycled batteries.

15．What’s David’s attitude to replacing jet fuel with biofuel?

A．Tolerant. B．Unclear. C．Cautious. D．Doubtful.

二、七选五

If you’ve studied biology, you’ve probably learned about blood types. Or perhaps you have learned something about blood types from social media. ____16____ These letters correspond to two antigens(抗原),A and B．People with AB blood have both antigens, those with A or B have only one, and people with O have no antigens at all.

____17____ If you’ve had a blood transfusion(输血), you are probably aware that your blood type determines which blood you can receive. Maybe you’ll think that you should plan your meals based on your blood type. ____18____ This last concept is popular in Asia, particularly in South Korea. Someone with type-A blood is thought to be considerate but shy. People with type-B blood are known for being creative but odd. Type-O individuals are considered to be some of the most sociable people. Those with type-AB are sensible artists, but sometimes calculating or unpredictable.

South Korea is one place where the blood type personality theory catches on. A study released in 2017 suggests that nearly 60%South Koreans believe that blood types serve as an indicator of a person’s personality. ____19____

But such theory can also cause discrimination. In the above-mentioned study, about half of the respondents said that they like people with type-O blood the best. ____20____ The general belief was that type-O individuals have a personality that best fits the culture in South Korea, while AB-types don’t suit such a cultural outlook. As a result, in recent years, many media have stopped promoting the theory.

A．Many factors contribute to your blood type.

B．So, what does blood type mean to you personally?

C．Meanwhile, only 6%of those surveyed said they like AB-types.

D．They have a large social circle but are very easy to get annoyed.

E．Or perhaps you think your blood type influences your personality.

F．Even those that don’t agree with the concept are familiar with the idea.

G．Either way, you’ll know there are four main blood types: A, B, O, and AB．

六、读后续写

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。

Bob and I hung out the whole summer, running in the field, swimming in the lake and exploring everywhere joyfully.

It was a typical summer afternoon. Bob suggested we skip a language lesson to play basketball. Ahal I would show my defense, lay-ups and three-point shooting. I loved to explore, I loved sports, and I loved basketball most. I believed I would be the next LeBron James.

But my passion for sports came to a sudden stop when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. After several visits to doctors, finally I was told that a spine(脊柱) surgery was necessary. Unfortunately, the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal cord(脊髓). I was in the ward hanging face down to relieve the pressure on my spine.

After four-month rehabilitation training(康复训练) in hospital, reality slowly set in—I was unable to walk again. I couldn’t believe this should have happened to me, that it wasn’t possible to recover, that I wouldn’t become a famous basketball player, that my life as I had known it, was over. My future would be chained to a wheelchair. I was just 16 years old!

Back home, I learned how hard it was going to be to get around in a wheelchair. I withdrew from my friends and my basketball. At Bob’s repeated invitation, I agreed to go to our regular swimming hole. Unable to make it down the riverbank alone, I was too proud to ask for help. When I finally realized my pride would keep me away from people and sports I loved, I let Bob carry me on his back to the river’s edge.

Allowing others to help was a turning point. I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had to face. How could I expect others to see my potential if I didn’t see it myself? How could I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew into myself?

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。

One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

With Bob’s encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream.

47．    This became a decisive turning point in my life. The same basketball court and the same excited audience. The only difference was that the players were moving around in their wheelchairs just like I did. They turned around, charging forward and showing their lay-ups nimbly. Amazed at their skill, I kept applauding until the game concluded. Then, Bob said something that was going to change my life forever, “Jack, if they can do it, so can you! Why not reignite your basketball dream?”

With Bob’s encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream. I signed up for a basketball course for the disabled. Every weekend, my teammates and I would practice moving, turning around, passing the ball and shooting in a wheelchair. When Bob watched my game three months later, it was he who kept applauding for my regained basketball skill. Thanks to Bob’s encouragement and my changing attitude, I am now on my way to becoming LeBron James. The only difference is that my version of James is playing in the wheelchair, but by no means confined to it.
