Anthny Derr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannt See, hlds special appeal fr me. That's hw I wuld describe it. Frm the petic language, t the realizatin f what the title actually means: that underneath the surface f histry, there is light that has nt been seen, and stries that have gne untld.
I'm ging t be hnest-lve fr this bk didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt t read it last mnth ended with me putting it aside and ging t find smething easier, lighter and less descriptive t read. But this bk is built n beautiful imagery. Bth in the literal sense-the physical wrld f 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphrical（隐喻性的） sense-scientific and philsphical references t light, t seeing and nt seeing, and the differences between the tw. It's a beautiful wrk f genius, but it des get a little cmplicated at times.
Hwever, when we get int the meat f this Wrld War II nvel, it's als an upsetting stry f a childhd trn apart by war. It's abut Parisian Marie Laure wh has been blind since she was six, and a German rphan called Werner wh finds himself at the center f the Hitler Yuth. Bth f their stries are tld with sensitivity and sympathy, each ne frced dwn a path by their persnal circumstances and by that destructive mnster-war.
I think this is the kind f bk yu will never appreciate if yu stp t sn-I learned that lessn. Frm the first t last page, there is a theme f invisible lines running parallel （平行的） t ne anther and smetimes, just smetimes, crssing in the strangest way. These tw lives we are intrduced t seem t be wrlds apart, and yet they cme tgether and influence ne anther. It was this, mre than the predictably awful tale f war, that made me feel quite emtinal.
24. What des the writer think f the bk?
A. Light and easy t read. B. Rich in philsphical ideas.
C. Fascinating but t descriptive. D. T cmplicated fr its theme.
25. What can we learn abut Marie Laure and Werner?
A. The war leads t their sensitivity. B. They knw each ther at an early age.
C. The Hitler Yuth pushes them t grw. D. They bth have a miserable childhd.
26. What particularly stirred the writer's emtins?
A. The bk's dramatic ending. B. The bk's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' intercnnected destiny. D. The suffering brught by Wrld War II.
27. What's the passage intended t d?
A. T share the writer's feelings f a bk. B. T recmmend a delightful bestseller.
C. T tell readers a heartbreaking stry. D. T analyze the structure f a bk.
C
When we experience earthquakes, medical emergencies-whatever the situatin, the first thing yu prbably d is panic. Everybdy des. While many f us think that we're cl in a crisis, science tells us that we seldm are. At the mment we need t be keenly aware f ur surrundings, but ur attentin ges t the scariest thing n the scene, leaving us unaware f the ther sights, sunds, and even smells arund us. At the mment, we're anything but at ur best.
These nrmal human reactins can be reversed. Fr example, firefighters are taught hw t bring dwn their bld pressure and heart rates quickly, bx breathing, belly breathing, hum breathing-yu can learn these techniques in minutes. Once yu calm dwn, yu'll identify accurately what the prblem is really abut. Lack f practice always causes us t judge prblems in wrng ways. Ding the thinking ahead f time als helps yu fire ff the slutin when it's shw time. This is why yu are advised t find the clsest exit befre the flight. And smetimes we aren't prepared with all the knwledge we need. Let's say we're n a hike and a bear shws up. What shall we d? Better t read suggestins n hw t respnd befre heading int the wild.
Perfrming in a crisis is becming mre imprtant fr all f us fr tw reasns. Back in the gd ld days, the reliability f mst anything we used r did was far less than it is tday. Nw think abut what happens t ur preparedness as the prbability f smething had happening reduces. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, ur ability t respnd when it des happen tends t slip away. Reliability can kill yu. Als, the systems we use tday are mre cmplex. There are seldm mving parts in plain view that allw us t see when things are abut t g wrng. Cnsequently, terrible situatins can"cme ut f nwhere". Irnically, the systems that were designed t lessen ur wrklad might require us t remain in a state f increased vigilance （警觉） in rder t survive these increasingly infrequent events when they d happen.
As technlgy becmes part f mst everything, and as nce-large risks break int cuntless small nes, crisis situatins may becme standard affairs. We shuld all learn t breathe, recgnize the situatin, and carry ut the plan that we are smart enugh t prepare well in advance.
28. Accrding t the passage, when an armed rbbery happens, mst witnesses will first ___.
A. bserve the surrundings. B. pretend t be calm.
C. decide what t d. D. fcus n the gun.
29. What des the underlined wrd "reversed" in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Tested. B. Changed. C. Predicted. D. Understd.
30. It can be inferred frm Paragraph 3 that ____.
A. things are less dependable than they used t be.
B. cautiusness helps prevent the ccurrence f crisis.
. C. cnvenience reduces ur prblem-slving capability.
D. the cmplexity f present systems ensures ur safety.
31. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T intrduce ways f aviding crisis situatins.
B. T pint ut the cnnectin between stress and risks.
C. T raise awareness f the preparatin fr emergencies.
D. T analyse the influence f technlgy n crisis management.
D
Antibitics, which can destry r prevent the grwth f bacteria and cure infectins, are vital t mdern medicine. Their ability t kill bacteria withut harming the patient has saved billins f lives and made surgical prcedures much safer. But after decades f veruse, their pwers are fading. Sme bacteria have evlved resistance, creating a grwing army f superbugs, against which there is little effective treatment. Antimicrbial（抗菌的）resistance, expected t kill 10 millin peple a year by 2050 up frm arund I millin in 2019, has been seen as a crisis by many.
It wuld be unwise t rely n new antibitics t slve the prblem. The rate at which resistance emerges is increasing. Sme new drugs last nly tw years befre bacteria develp resistance. When new antibitics d arrive, dctrs ften stre them, using them nly reluctantly and fr shrt perids when faced with the mst persistent infectins. That limits sales, making new antibitics an unappealing idea fr mst drug firms.
Gvernments have been trying t fix the prblem by channeling cash int research in drug firms. That has prduced nly limited imprvements. But there is a phenmenn wrth a lk. Micrbilgists have knwn fr decades that disease-causing bacteria can suffer frm illnesses f their wn. They are supersensitive t attacks by phages, specialized viruses that infect bacteria and ften kill them. Phages are cnsidered a prmising alternative t antibitics.
Using ne disease-causing virus t fight bacteria has several advantages. Like antibitics, phages nly tend t chse particular targets, leaving human cells alne as they infect and destry bacterial nes. Unlike antibitics, phages can evlve just as readily as bacteria can, meaning that even if bacteria d develp resistance, phages may be able t evlve arund them in turn.
That, at least, is the thery. The truble with phages is that cmparatively little is knwn abut them. After the discvery f penicillin, the first antibitic, in 1928, they were largely ignred in the West. Given the severity f the antibitic-resistance prblem, it wuld be a gd idea t find ut mre abut them.
The first step is t run mre clinical trials. Interest frm Western firms is grwing. But it is being held back by the fact that phages are an even less appealing investment than antibitics. Since they are natural living things, there may be truble patenting them, making it hard t recver any investment.
Gvernments can help fund basic research int phage treatment and clarify the law arund exactly what is and is nt patentable. In time they can set up phage banks s as t make prductin cheaper. And they can spread awareness f the risks f verusing antibitics, and the ptential benefits f phages.
32. We can learn frm paragraphs 1 and 2 that ____.
A. dctrs tend t use new antibitics when the patients ask fr them.
B. antimicrbial resistance is develping mre rapidly than predicted.
C. new antibitics fail t attract drug firms due t limited use f them.
D. previus antibitics are effective in slving mdern health prblems.
33. What is phages' advantage ver antibitics?
A. They can increase human cells when fighting bacteria.
B. They are nt particular abut which cells t infect and kill.
C. They can evlve accrdingly when bacteria develp resistance.
D. They are t sensitive t be infected by disease-causing bacteria.
34. Accrding t the passage, the bstacle t phage treatment is that
A. there is little chance f patenting phages in the future.
B. gvernments prvide financial supprt fr ther research.
C. the emergence f superbugs hlds back drug firms' interest.
D. ver-dependence n antibitics distracts attentin frm phages.
35. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. Gvernments fail t stp the use f antibitics.
B. Phages culd help prevent an antibitics crisis.
C. Develpment f antibitics is limited by phages.
D. Antimicrbial resistance calls fr new antibitics.

C篇：28. D29. B30. C31. C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是, 虽然很多人都认为自己在危机中很冷静, 但科学告诉我们, 我们很少能做到。因此, 市民对突发事件的防范意识要提高。
28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“While many f us think that we're cl ina crisis, science tells us that we seldm are. At the mment we need t be keenly aware f ur surrundings, but ur attentin ges t the scariest thing n the scene, leaving us unaware f the ther sights, sunds, and even smells arund us. （虽然很多人都认为自己在危机中很冷静, 但科学告诉我们, 我们很少能做到。此时此刻, 我们需要敏锐地意识到我们周围的环境, 但我们的注意力却集中在了现场最可怕的东西上, 让我们对周围的其他景象、声音甚至气味浑然不觉。）”可知, 根据文章, 危机出现时, 人们的注意力集中在了现场最可怕的东西上, 可得出当武装抢劫发生时, 大多数目击者会首先关注枪。故选D。
29. 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“At the mment we need t be keenly aware f ur surrundings, but ur attentin ges t the scariest thing n the scene, leaving us unaware f the ther sights, sunds, and even smells arund us. At the mment, we're anything but at ur best. （此时此刻, 我们需要敏锐地意识到我们周围的环境, 但我们的注意力却集中在了现场最可怕的东西上, 让我们对周围的其他景象、声音甚至气味浑然不觉。目前, 我们还没有达到最佳状态。）”, 和第二段中的“Fr example, firefighters are taught hw t bring dwn their bld pressure and heart rates quickly, bx breathing, belly breathing, hum breathing-yu can learn these techniques in minutes. Once yu calm dwn, yu'll identify accurately what the prblem is really abut. （例如, 消防员被教导如何快速降低他们的血压和心率, 箱式呼吸法, 腹部呼吸法, 哼哼呼吸法—你可以在几分钟内学会这些技巧。一旦你冷静下来, 你就会准确地识别出问题的真正原因。）”可知, 上文讲危机出现时, 人们的注意力集中在了现场最可怕的东西上, 害怕因而无法冷静, 下文讲通过适当方法, 人们可以冷静下来, 所以这些正常的人类反应（害怕/无法冷静）是可以逆转的。由此推知, 划线词的意思是“改变”。故选B.
30. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, ur ability t respnd when it des happen tends t slip away. Reliability can kill yu. Als, the systems we use tday are mre cmplex. There are seldm mving parts in plain view that allw us t see when things are abut t g wrng. （除非我们练习几乎不发生的事情, 否则当事情发生时, 我们的反应能力往往会消失。可靠性会毁了你。此外, 我们今天使用的系统更加复杂。在肉眼可见的情况下, 很少有活动部件能让我们看到事情什么时候会出错。）”可知, 从第三段中可以推断出, 现代生活给予人们生活可靠性, 系统性让人们规避很多错误, 世界的便利性降低了我们解决问题的能力。故选C。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As technlgy becmes part f mst everything, and as nce-large risks break int cuntless small nes, crisis situatins may becme standard affairs. We shuld all learn t breathe, recgnize the situatin, and carry ut the plan that we are smart enugh t prepare well in advance. （随着技术成为绝大多数事物的一部分, 随着曾经的巨大风险演变成无数的小风险, 危机局势可能会成为常态。我们都应该学会呼吸, 认识到情况, 并执行计划, 我们足够聪明地提前做好准备。）”可知, 危机局势可能会成为常态, 人们应该要做好准备应对它, 这篇文章的目的是为了提高市民对突发事件的防范意识。故选C。 D篇：32B33C34D35B
32. 根据第2段, The rate at which resistance emerges is increasing. Sme new drugs last nly tw years befre bacteria develp resistance. 耐药性出现的速度正在增加。一些新药在细菌产生耐药性前只使用两年。所以选B.
33. 根据第4段, Unlike antibitics, phages can evlve just as readily as bacteria can, meaning that even if bacteria d develp resistance, phages may be able t evlve arund them in turn. 与抗生素不同, 噬菌体和细菌一样容易进化, 这意味着即使细菌确实产生了耐药性, 噬菌体也可能在它们周围相应地进化。选C。
34. 根据第5段, The truble with phages is that cmparatively little is knwn abut them. After the discvery f penicilin, the first antibitic, in 1928, they were largely ignred in the West. Given the severity f the antibitic-resistance prblem, it wuld be a gd idea t find ut mre abut them. 噬菌体的问题在于, 人们对它们的了解相对较少。1928年, 第一种抗生素青霉素被发现后, 它们在西方基本上被忽视了。考虑到抗生素耐药性问题的严重性, 了解更多关于它们的信息是个好主意。选D。
35. 主旨。全文讲了噬菌体作为替代问题多多的抗生素, 优点多多, 建议政府多方面采取措施推动推广。选B。

By priritizing cmmunicatin skills, we can help students becme better cmmunicatrs. （中国的大学正在采取措施提高沟通技巧。通过优先考虑沟通技巧, 我们可以帮助学生成为更好的沟通者）”可知, 本句与上文构成转折, 指出沟通技巧也可以得到提高的好消息。故C选项“然而, 也有好消息”符合语境, 故选C。

Dear Chris,
Hw is everything ging? I am mre than delighted that yu are interested in Chinese. The phrase essentialy means "Wisdm begins with knwing characters" in English. In Chinese culture, literacy and knwledge are deeply valued, as it is believed that understanding characters （wrds）is the initial step twards gaining wisdm and navigating thrugh life effectively. This prverb underscres the imprtance f learning and educatin as the fundatin fr intelligent living.
In my perspective, it nt nly emphasizes the literal imprtance f learning t read but als metaphrically implies that understanding and wisdm cmmence when we start t cmprehend the wrld arund us.

With a big shve, she kncked everything ff the table. "Laynie, " I swallwed hard and added, "Mlly isn't ging t grw either. "At this, she burst int tears and ran ff. The heart pierced with guilt, I felt like a wrm.
Later I fund Laynie sitting by the spt where Mlly was buried. I sat dwn beside her, gently held her in my embrace and aplgized. Laynie turned her face away. I went n, "See, yu can grw things frm seeds-nt frm pencils r. . . dead things. OK?""Just seeds?" she asked, face still tear-stained. I ndded. She lked at me fr a minute as if thinking abut smething. Later that day, after we had a funeral fr Mlly, I saw Laynie patting dwn sme dirt n Mlly's grave. My heart tightened. "I'm grwing sme frget-me-nts, s Mlly wn't frget me, " she said. This time, I thught "the green thumb" wuld have a real harvest.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者让女儿帮自己种东西, 天真的女儿以为什么东西都可以种, 所以她种了铅笔、蜡笔、茶匙等等, 作者为了维护女儿的天真, 一直悄悄地让女儿种的东西“长”出来。直到女儿把金鱼埋到土里作者才解释了真相。女儿听到了真相后一时无法接受, 但在作者的耐心解释下她终于理解了种植的含义。女儿亲手种下了勿忘我, 希望金鱼不要忘了她, 而作者也相信这次女儿种的东西一定会有真正的收获。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
由续写第一段首句“我背对着栅栏坐了下来, 想了很久。”可知, 第一段可描述作者知道不能再骗女儿了, 于是向女儿解释了自己一直以来的做法, 女儿听到后无法接受, 跑掉了, 而作者内心也非常愧疚。
由续写第二段首句“后来我发现蕾妮坐在埋葬莫莉的地方旁。”可知, 第二段可以描述作者对女儿解释种植的真正意义, 女儿也理解了只有种子才能生长出真正的东西, 于是种了勿忘我。
2. 段落续写：背对栅栏思索——决定告诉真相—拿出偷偷种过的东西——女儿因无法接受真相而跑掉了——自己充满愧疚——在埋金鱼的地方找到女儿—告诉女儿什么才能种——女儿接受了事实——女儿种了勿忘我, 作者相信会有真正的收获
