As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated (巩固) her dream of fighting the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to
extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A．They made her decide to leave the country.
B．They helped her better understand her father.
C．They aroused her enthusiasm for helping others.
D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A．Low rainfall. B．Soil pollution. C．Cold weather. D．Forest damage.
26．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A．To create job opportunities for young people.
B．To help the children obtain a basic education.
C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D．To promote the protection of their farmland.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Saving Water in Tunisia B．Holding back the Sahara
C．Planting Trees of Native Species D．Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C
Three years ago, Juan Carlos Sesma had a realization. Global warming and climate change seemed to be a mounting problem, with scientific records indicating rising temperatures and sea levels across the world. At the same time forest fires, logging, and aggressive human expansion meant the supply of trees which helped to regulate and remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere was dwindling .
He decided the best way to tackle a problem this large was to combine two of the most powerful forces emerging in technology: big data and robotics. Sesma founded a new company called CO2 Revolution, whose plan was to use drones(无人机) to better understand where new trees should be planted and to automate the process of planting so that much larger areas of forest could be repopulated. The company designed a special smart seed that helped to deliver just the right amount of protection and nutrition to the young saplings. The overall goal was to considerably lower the time and cost of large-scale re-forestation.
CO2 Revolution isn’t alone. In the UK, a startup called Biocarbon Engineering ran a trial earlier this year where it used drones to help replant Mangrove trees in Myanmar. It has also deployed(部署) its technology in Australia, South Africa, and Morocco. “In a lot of places, people will either have a map taken by aeroplane, or just use Google Earth satellite imagery.
They’ll draw things out freehand and manually plant, either by hand or tractor,” said CEO Susan Graham in a
recent interview.
The challenge for all these startups is to find ways to create a profitable, or at least sustainable, business model. For Sesma and the team at CO2 Revolution, recent regulatory action has highlighted one potential pathway. “We offer a solution that allows clients to carry out massive plantings, increasing forest mass and thus compensating for their carbon footprint.” Amid growing calls for carbon sequestration, this kind of effort might prove not just noble, but financially sensible for large corporations.
28．What drove Sesma to set up CO2 Revolution
A．Big data and robotics. B．Forest fires and human expansion.
C．Global Warming and climate change. D．Powerful forces emerging in technology.
29．What does the underlined word “dwindling” probably mean in paragraph 1
A．Declining. B．Changing. C．Recovering. D．Expanding.
30．What can we infer from the passage
A．Drones are populated in larger areas of forests.
B．CO2 Revolution calls for a profitable drone model.
C．Biocarbon Engineering sets up worldwide technology centers.
D．Smart seeds are designed to improve the accuracy of planting.
31．What does the author think of startups like CO2 Revolution
A．Conventional. B．Valueless. C．Beneficial. D．Impractical.
D
Babies as young as 4 months old who are born into a bilingual (双语的) environment show distinct and potentially advantageous brain patterns for speech processing. Our early-life experiences can have lifelong effects on our behavior. The brain is most sensitive to its environment during the first year of life, which is thought to be a critical period for language development.
Previous studies have looked into the brain mechanisms that underlie (构成……的基础) speech processing in babies who hear just one language. To better understand this in bilingual-exposed infants, Borja Blanco at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues compared how 31 babies who only heard Spanish and 26 babies who heard Spanish and Basque, all aged 4 months, responded to Spanish recordings of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
The team used an imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure changes in brain activities. In the Spanish-only babies, the recordings caused activation in areas which play a role in speech processing. In the bilingual-exposed babies, the recordings similarly evoked these responses, but they were larger and wider. These infants also had activation in equivalent areas of their brains’ right hemispheres ( 脑
半球 ). When the recordings were then played backwards as a control arm of the experiment, the infants exposed to just Spanish had larger responses to the backwards speech, while those to Spanish and Basque had similar brain patterns as before. This may be because the bilingual infants take longer to register their primary language, in this case Spanish, as hearing both this and Basque reduces their overall exposure to either language.
If this is the case, it could help them be sensitive to linguistic differences and enable them to learn to distinguish between languages at a younger age. The researchers note that a bilingual environment stimulates changes in the brain mechanisms underlying speech processing in young infants, adding weight to the idea that the neural basis of learning two or more languages is established very early in life.
32．Why was the study conducted
A．To reveal the impact of bilingual exposure. B．To confirm the pattern of brain mechanism.
C．To conclude the factors for speech processing D．To explore the potentials for language development.
33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Theory basis. B．Study methods.
C．Research findings D．Technical assistance,
34．What can we learn from the research
A．Bilingual-exposed babies are more sensitive.
B．Bilingual-exposed babies are more linguistically critical.
C．Bilingual-exposure reduces babies’ linguistic competence.
D．Bilingual-exposure reduces babies’ overall language exposure.
35．Which of the following statements might the researchers agree with
A．Immigrants speak better languages.
B．Mixed race families own more linguistic potential.
C．Exchange students show greater learning capability.
D．Overseas workers have higher language proficiency.

Challenges are part of life and something we can all expect to encounter at one point or another during our lifetime. We handle challenges differently;some of us choose to face them head-on, while others flee in uncertainty. 36 The following are simple methods and strategies we can all employ to overcome challenges more effectively.
37 Nike couldn’t have said it any better with their slogan, "Just do it! "Some challenges require us to do just that. Grab the bull by its horns and have the courage to conquer it, no matter how unsure we might feel.
Some challenges are urgent and require immediate attention, leaving us with no option but to go ahead full-steam.
Educate ourselves. The reason why some issues prove challenging for us is that we aren’t familiar with them. 38 The internet, books, forums, etc. , offer platforms where we can research and learn about our challenges to find strategies against them. Knowledge is definitely powerful and essential in conquering anything.
Be persistent. This is what is required to accomplish anything, especially when it comes to overcoming challenges. No matter how difficult our challenges might be, we must be willing to push through and try again and again until we achieve victory over them. 39
Ask for help. There are times when we can’t go it alone and need others to help us conquer whatever challenges we face. 40 Networking with like-minded individuals who can offer us support, suggestions, and solutions is useful in helping us overcome challenges.
A．Meet them head-on.
B．Adapt a different strategy.
C．It is said that two heads are better than one.
D．If we give up, we allow the challenges to conquer us instead.
E．Therefore, our knowledge and ability to conquer them is limited.
F．Whatever our positions, we all wish to conquer them and move on.
G．Some challenges can be overwhelming, making us question our ability to overcome them.

67．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。
Willie’s 11th birthday was coming. His aunt sent him a birthday present—a small nice notebook. There was a place in it for a pencil. Willie valued it a lot and always kept it in his pocket. When he found something interesting, he would write it down in the book.
One afternoon, after Willie came back from school, he called his best friend, Caper, a well-trained shepherd dog and said, “Come, Caper! Let’s go out and have fun.” They went to the pasture field (牧场) to catch the butterflies and there they found a shaft (通风井), which seemed to be deserted for a long time. Willie sat down on the edge of the shaft, bending over to see how deep it was. Suddenly, he lost his balance and fell in. “Help! Help!” Willie called desperately. But no response at all. He was so far away from the house. He made several attempts to climb up the shaft but again he failed! Now Willie was exhausted and frustrated. When Caper saw his master falling into the shaft, the little good companion ran round and round, reaching down and trying to pull him out.
Unfortunately, a piece of rock gave way under his feet, and he fell in the shaft too!
It was getting dark. When Willie’s mother, Mrs. Lee came back from work and found there was no one at home, she was anxious and worried. Without any clue at home, she decided to look for Willie outside. She went to all the trees under which Willie was in the habit of playing, but he was nowhere to be found. By this time, the sun had gone down. A feeling of panic took hold of Mrs. Lee. She comforted herself that Willie might have come back. She rushed back, hoping to find her son at home.
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。

25．细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业土地受到沙漠化的威胁。)”可知，降雨量少是突尼斯农田沙漠化的主要原因。故选A项。
26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. (她搬到突尼斯，并建立了一个名为Acacias for All的项目，将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。)”，最后一段中“By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了13万多棵金合欢树，农民记录其成活率达到60%。图米估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵金金合欢。)”可知，她创立Acacias for All项目的目的是保护当地的农田。故选D项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段中“By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了13万多棵金合欢树，农民记录其成活率达到60%。图米估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵金合槐。)”可知，文章讲述的是主人公图米在9岁时，在一次陪伴爸爸回突尼斯家乡时激发了她要帮助当地人的热情，由此创立了Acacias for All项目，种植金合欢树，改善保护当地农田，坚持与沙漠化作斗争，实践其可持续农业的理念。B选项“Holding back the Sahara (阻挡撒哈拉沙漠)”符合文章标题。故选B项。
28．C 29．A 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了Juan Carlos Sesma创立了名为“二氧化碳革命”的公司，计划用无人机植树造林，保护环境。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Three years ago, Juan Carlos Sesma had a realization. Global warming and climate change seemed to be a mounting problem, with scientific records indicating rising temperatures and sea levels across the world.(三年前，Juan Carlos Sesma意识到了这一点。
全球变暖和气候变化似乎是一个日益严重的问题，科学记录表明世界各地的气温和海平面都在上升。)”和第二段中的“He decided the best way to tackle a problem this large was to combine two of the most powerful forces emerging in technology: big data and robotics. Sesma founded a new company called CO2 Revolution, whose plan was to use drones(无人机) to better understand where new trees should be planted and to automate the process of planting so that much larger areas of forest could be repopulated.(他决定，解决这么大问题的最佳方法是将技术中出现的两种最强大的力量结合起来：大数据和机器人。Sesma创立了一家名为‘二氧化碳革命’的新公司，该公司的计划是使用无人机更好地了解新树木应该种植在哪里，并自动化种植过程，以便重造更大面积的森林。)”可知，驱使Sesma创立“二氧化碳革命”公司的因素是全球变暖和气候变化这个日益严重的问题。故选C。
29．词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“forest fires, logging, and aggressive human expansion”可知，森林火灾、伐木和人类的侵略性扩张这些事情会导致树木减少。由此可推测出，dwindling意为“减少”，与declining“减少”同义。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The company designed a special smart seed that helped to deliver just the right amount of protection and nutrition to the young saplings. The overall goal was to considerably lower the time and cost of large-scale re-forestation.(该公司设计了一种特殊的智能种子，有助于为幼树提供恰到好处的保护和营养。总体目标是大大降低大规模重新造林的时间和成本。)”可知，智能种子能够为幼树提供恰到好处的保护和营养，从而大大降低大规模重新造林的时间和成本，由此可推测，智能种子能够提高植树的精确度。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Amid growing calls for carbon sequestration, this kind of effort might prove not just noble, but financially sensible for large corporations.(在越来越多的碳封存呼声中，这种努力可能不仅高尚，而且对大公司来说在财务上是明智的。)”可知，作者认为“二氧化碳革命”这样的公司所作出的努力不仅高尚，而且对大公司来说也很有经济价值，由此可推测出，作者认为这类初创公司非常有益。故选C。
32．A 33．C 34．B 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，双语环境会刺激婴儿大脑语言处理机制的变化，这进一步证实了学习两种或两种以上语言的神经基础在生命早期就已经建立起来的观点。文章对这项研究进行了介绍。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Previous studies have looked into the brain mechanisms that
underlie (构成……的基础) speech processing in babies who hear just one language. To better understand this in bilingual-exposed infants, Borja Blanco at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues compared how 31 babies who only heard Spanish and 26 babies who heard Spanish and Basque, all aged 4 months, responded to Spanish recordings of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. (之前的研究已经研究了只听一种语言的婴儿的语言处理背后的大脑机制。为了更好地了解双语环境下的婴儿的情况，剑桥大学的博尔哈·布兰科和他的同事们比较了31名只听西班牙语的婴儿和26名听西班牙语和巴斯克语的婴儿，他们都是4个月大，对安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里的西班牙语版《小王子》的反应。)”可知，这项研究是为了揭示双语接触的影响。故选A。
33．主旨大意题。根据第三段第二句到最后一句“In the Spanish-only babies, the recordings caused activation in areas which play a role in speech processing. In the bilingual-exposed babies, the recordings similarly evoked these responses, but they were larger and wider. These infants also had activation in equivalent areas of their brains’ right hemispheres (脑半球). When the recordings were then played backwards as a control arm of the experiment, the infants exposed to just Spanish had larger responses to the backwards speech, while those to Spanish and Basque had similar brain patterns as before. This may be because the bilingual infants take longer to register their primary language, in this case Spanish, as hearing both this and Basque reduces their overall exposure to either language. (在只会说西班牙语的婴儿中，这些录音激活了在语言处理中起作用的区域。在接触双语的婴儿中，录音同样引起了这些反应，但它们更大更宽。这些婴儿大脑右半球的相应区域也被激活。当把录音倒放作为实验的对照组时，只听西班牙语的婴儿对倒放的语言有更大的反应，而那些听西班牙语和巴斯克语的婴儿的大脑模式与之前相似。这可能是因为双语婴儿需要更长的时间来注册他们的主要语言，在这个例子中是西班牙语，因为同时听到西班牙语和巴斯克语会减少他们对这两种语言的总体接触。)”可知，第三段主要是介绍这项研究的发现。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“If this is the case, it could help them be sensitive to linguistic differences and enable them to learn to distinguish between languages at a younger age. (如果是这样的话，它可以帮助他们对语言差异敏感，使他们能够在更年轻的时候学会区分语言。)”可知，双语环境下的婴儿对语言差异更敏感。故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“The researchers note that a bilingual environment stimulates changes in the brain mechanisms underlying speech processing in young infants, adding
weight to the idea that the neural basis of learning two or more languages is established very early in life. (研究人员指出，双语环境会刺激婴儿大脑语言处理机制的变化，这进一步证实了学习两种或两种以上语言的神经基础在生命早期就已经建立起来的观点。)”可知，研究人员可能会认同混血家庭拥有更多的语言潜力的观点。故选B。

In conclusion, I urge all of you to join hands and cultivate healthy exercise habits. Only through physical activity can we maintain our health, vitality, and better face the challenges of both academic and personal life.
Yours,

67． She found Caper sitting in front of the door, with a notebook in his mouth. “Why are you here, Caper ” Mrs. Lee swelled with confusion and couldn’t help asking more. Suddenly, the dog-ear in the notebook attracted her attention. She took the notebook and quickly opened it, only to find a message from Willie, which said, “Mum, come to me! I am in a shaft in the pasture.” “Caper, can you take me to find your little master ” asked Mrs. Lee anxiously. The honest friend wagged his tail, seeming to understand her words. He turned around and ran forward fast. Mrs. Lee followed him to the far corner of the pasture and there was Willie, alive and well, in the shaft.
How glad he was when his mother caught him in her arms and lifted him out!
Willie told Mum how he came up with the idea after he was success fully rescued. After he and Caper both fell into the shaft, he tried to calm himself down and think of how to get out. A good idea occurred to him when he touched the notebook in his pocket. He took it out, wrote down the message, dog-eared the page and said to Caper, “Caper, I will help you out! Remember you have to go home and give the notebook to Mum!” Then he bent down, lifted the dog up with all his strength, raised himself upon tiptoe and helped him out. Having heard this, Mrs. Lee gave the clever boy a warm hug, praising, “Well done, Willie!”
