Local authorities and firefighters in the United States are always on the lookout for new and creative methods to help control wildfires. Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires cause damage to forests every year. The city of West Sacramento in North California has found a creative secret weapon to help deal with this phenomenon: goats.
These friendly animals have been assisting the city with wildfire prevention and fire risks by eating weeds, dry grass and dead trees. When the goats eat the things that are likely to catch fire, they prevent the problem from happening.
Wildfires occur naturally when dry plants are ignited(点燃)by the sun’s heat and catch on fire. However, most wildfires are caused by human carelessness, including unattended campfires, cigarettes and other flammable objects. The best strategy to battle the fires and minimize the damage is to attempt to remove the fuel that enables the spread of the flames, in this case the dry weeds, trees and plants. If the things that are most likely to catch fire are gone, the fire is less likely to spread.
The love able goats are able to reach difficult areas that people are not able to access. About 400 of these goats can clear two acres per day. They even fertilize(使肥沃)the area a natural and free side effect of eating all those dry plants. Firefighters and government officials cannot be happier with the results.
“For us, the combination of turning to goats for help with the quick fire response is an effective method of keeping our neighbors safe from disastrous wildfires,“said assistant Fire Chief Khari Helae.” With climate change and the fact that our vegetation is being affected because of climate change, it’s necessary to focus on our fuel reduction program.”
24. How do goats assist the city in dealing with wildfires
A. By identifying the fuel in forests. B. By consuming dry plants.
C. By leading firefighters to fire sources. D. By eating up green tree leaves.
25. What can we say about the new method
A. It is complex but rewarding. B. It causes damage to local land.
C. It is well accepted worldwide. D. It is environmentally-friendly.
26. What can be learned from Khari Helae’s words
A He spoke highly of the new method. B. He was dissatisfied with fire responses.
C. He was optimistic about climate change. D. He considered fuel reduction impractical.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Goats Help Keep Wildfires Under Control B. Firefighters Are Being Gradually Replaced
C. Disastrous Wildfires Need to Be Controlled D. Animals Are Fighting Against Climate Change
C
When you start working on something but don’t finish it, thoughts of the unfinished work continue to jump into your mind even when you’ve moved on to other things. Psychologists refer to this psychological phenomenon as the Zeigarnik effect. The effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, she noted the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had difficulty remembering the exact details of the orders.
In one of her studies, participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted halfway through these tasks. After an hour-long delay, Zeigarnik asked the participants to give an account of what they’d been working on. She discovered that those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks.
We can use this effect to our advantage. For example, if you’re struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might actually work to your advantage. Rather than simply remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While you’re focusing on other things, you’ll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were studying.
We often put off tasks until the last moment, only completing them in a rush at the last possible moment. Unfortunately, this tendency can lead to heavy stress and even poor performance. One way to overcome this is to put the Zeigarnik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how small. Once you’ve begun，but not finished your work, you’ll find yourself thinking of the task until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you closer to your final goal.
28. What does the Zeigarnik effect refer to
A. Waiters tend to have good memories.
B. Once interrupted, one will forget things easily.
C. Most people can’t focus on one thing for a long time.
D. People remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones.
29. What were all the participants required to do in the study
A. Describe their tasks. B. Express their feelings.
C. Test their intelligence. D. Design simple activities.
30. How should we study according to the Zeigarnik effect
A. Repeat over and over again. B. Divide up our study session.
C. Focus on several tasks at a time. D. Have enough rest before studying.
31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. How to get rid of heavy stress.
B. Why we should set a final goal.
C. How to break the habit of delaying work.
D. Why we always complete tasks in a rush.
D
There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
32. What does the underlined word “abound” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Change fully. B. Remain the same.
C. Exist in numbers. D. Disappear completely.
33. What opinion does the writer agree with
A. Most of us can influence the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C. People’s desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
34. What is the primary purpose of the text
A. To promote efforts over complaint.
B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend.
D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair—Deal With It
C. Fairness Comes First D. Fairness Creates Chances

77. 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。
No matter how small you are, you can also give help or support to others. I didn5t understand these words until I saw my grandfather weep that day.
I grew up in Southern California, and my family often went to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and Sea World. The highlight of those park visits for me was always the evening activities when there would be fireworks.
As I grew older and more observant, I noticed that my grandfather would go missing just before the fireworks were scheduled to start and reappear shortly after they finished. I asked my mother about this and was told that Grandpa didn't like to hear the noise of the explosions. They reminded him of the war and his fellows who died in the war. So every time there was fireworks 9 he would go inside the bathrooms until they were done. I felt surprised because my grandfather was such a strong man.
One summer night, somewhere near my tenth birthday, my family and I exited a ride just in time to hear over the loudspeakers, “In only two minutes, the lights will be turned off around the Rivers of America, and Disneyland will present their fireworks in the skies over the park.” At this moment, Grandpa was just in front of me, and when he heard the announcement, he started jogging ahead without a word to anyone. Without really thinking, I took off after him, against the orders of my mother, who repeatedly called after me to stay with the rest of the family. Grandpa, unaware that I was behind him, tried desperately to walk through the masses of people who were stopped in the street waiting for the show to begin.
As he tried to reach the restrooms, the first shell broke in the skies above us. Grandpa paused and looked up, just looking as if he had been hit by a shot. And then he kept moving forward. As shell after shell burst overhead, he struggled forward and almost fell over before he could sit onto a bench nearby.
注意：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。
Instantly I went forward and was by his side.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the fireworks show ended, he straightened suddenly and wiped the tears.

【答案】Dear John,
I’d like to introduce my favorite scientist to you. He is Qian Xuesen, a patriotic, outstanding and gifted scientist.
Initially, Qian Xuesen studied Railway Mechanical Engineering, but after the Songhu Battle broke out, he shifted his major to aviation to defend his country. In 1955, he returned from America to China and was in charge of China’s space and missile programme. Under his leadership, China made steady progress in aerospace and aviation. He made great contributions to the development of China’s aerospace.
Qian Xuesen devoted all his life to science and he will inspire me to follow my dream.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

【77题答案】
【答案】Para 1:
Instantly, I went forward and was by his side. And when he looked up at me in surprise, I saw fear on a face that had only shown strength and kindness before. I grasped his hand in mine. It was trembling and seemed suddenly much weaker than I remembered. Grandpa sunk into my arms. His breath was labored and quick, and he wept soundlessly. I kept perfectly still and didn’t say a word. Absorbed in the show, no one noticed us on that bench as we sat for what seemed like hours... a child supporting a grown man.
Para 2:
When the fireworks show ended, he straightened suddenly and wiped the tears. He calmed himself for just a moment, and then put his arm around me and said, “ Thanks, child. ” Seconds later, he was on his feet, declaring that we should find the others and leading me into the crowd by the hand. I once again felt his strong hand. Walking through the crowds, I knew that I ought to never mention this to anyone. At the same time, I realized that everyone can offer help and support to others however little he is.
