Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion ”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he slipped downstairs, took down his father’s hunting rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.
“Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life, I’ll think of you. I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.

Born with severe hearing loss, Li has found her way to communicate with the world—through painting.
Before learning to paint, Li always felt lonely in a silent world. She knew she was different from her peers because she could not hear. But a painting class in primary school opened for her a door to creativity and a way of expression.
“I still remember my first mural, which was to help a kindergarten to design and paint its wall,” Li says. “The project made me realize how happy I was immersing myself into painting.”
To pursue her passion for art, Li went to study advertising design at a vocational and technical school. “Painting brushes can help me create a colorful world in my imagination, telling my thoughts on paper, instead of through voices,” Li said.
Graduating from college in 2005, Li got a job as a typist at a public institute. But she could not communicate well with her other colleagues. Her husband understood how she felt because he lost his hearing due to medication when he was 1 year old. He is also an art lover. In March 2016, under her husband’s suggestion, Li quit her job and joined her husband’s company, which specializes in 3D wall and ground paintings.
Wall painting is a demanding job because it requires people to work outdoors, whether in extremely cold or hot weather. As all the people are hearing-impaired in their company, communication with clients is the most common challenge that the team faces.
Now in many parks and scenic spots, the couple have created large-scale murals and interactive pavement painting that make onlookers a part of the drawings.
“My husband and I want to introduce painting to more people like us and help them find their own way to make a living,” Li says. Now Li has an apprentice who just graduated from college. While coaching the newcomer, Li is exploring her own style and hopes to become an illustrator and open her own exhibition one day.
“They’re energetic young people with a passion to create new things, and you can feel that in their paintings,” one of their clients said. “They’re also a professional, dedicated team, often working late into the night on the designs for us.”
Li hopes that their stories can encourage more hearing-impaired people to build their own careers and achieve their goals, regardless of how tough it may be.
27．According to the passage, the painting class in primary school ________.
A．started Li’s first advertising design
B．helped Li find a new way to express herself
C．made Li learn about 3D wall and ground paintings
D．turned Li’s dream of opening an exhibition into reality
28．What can we know from this passage
A．Li can communicate with her clients easily.
B．Li lost her hearing when she was I year old.
C．Li and her husband have created many wonderful paintings.
D．Li and her husband hope to become illustrators in the future.
29．To help people with hearing loss, what does Li intend to do
A．Donate money to them. B．Design painting gifts for them.
C．Inspire them to create their own careers. D．Support them to complete college education.
30．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．One is never too old to learn. B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．Accepting what you have makes you happy. D．Nothing is impossible to the man who will try.
Each year, road accidents kill a million people and injure millions more. The economic costs are greatest for developing countries. Earlier this year, the United Nations called for a campaign to improve road safety.
One way to avoid accidents is better driving. Another is better roads and bridges. Engineers in the Unites States have designed ten new concrete mixtures that they think could make bridges last longer.
Professor Paul Tikalsky leads the experiments by a team at Pennsylvania State University. He says bridges made of concrete now last about twenty-five to thirty-five years. But he says the new mixtures might extend that to seventy-five or even one-hundred years.
Concrete is made of stone, sand, water and cement(水泥). The materials in the cement hold the concrete together. Ancient Romans built with concrete. Yet strengthened concrete bridges did not appear until the late 1800s. People keep looking for new ways to improve concrete. Professor Tikalsky says it is one of the most complex of all chemical systems.
The new mixtures designed by his team contain industrial waste products. He says these make the concrete better able to resist damage from water and salt over time. One of the products is fly ash. This is released into the air as pollution when coal is burned. Professor Tikalsky says particles (颗粒) of fly ash are almost exactly the same size and chemical structure as Portland cement. This is the most costly material in concrete. So using fly ash to replace some of it would save money.
Over the next two years, engineers will study ten bridges in Pennsylvania. These were built from the different cement mixtures designed by Professor Tikalsky’s team. He says longer-lasting bridges could save the state more than 35 million dollars a year. And he says the materials would be environmentally friendly.
The federal government is paying for part of the research. Engineers anywhere can use the technology. Professor Tikalsky says some of the ideas have already been put to use in China, the Philippines and other countries.
31．Why did the United Nations launch the campaign
A．Because two million people were killed in the accidents.
B．Because engineers wanted to design ten new concrete mixtures.
C．Because the economic costs are greatest for developing countries.
D．Because the United Nations wanted to reduce road accidents and economic costs.
32．What does the underlined word “this” in the sixth paragraph refer to
A．Fly ash B．Portland cement C．Sand D．Chemical
33．What can we conclude from the passage
A．Engineers have to pay a lot of energy and money to use the new bridge technology.
B．Pennsylvania State University is paying all the money for the research.
C．Bridges built with fly ash are cheaper than common bridges.
D．Fly ash is much more expensive than Portland cement.
34．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．The advantages of fly ash
B．The causes of road accidents.
C．The measures of avoiding road accidents
D．Latest information about long-life concrete bridges

七、阅读表达
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
The Secret to Improving Your Memory
If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning.
It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited energy resources than you probably think. Therefore, it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.
The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different regions of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). Currently, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, negative feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.
Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between nine and 15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage.
However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and not have any distractions (分心的事) around you. This includes not having your cell phone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between ten and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty. In fact, knowing how to rest is decisive for your cognitive function, balancing your emotions, and renewing your energy.
Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions. Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is investing in your health and well-being.
40．What is the secret to improve your memory
41．What factors may influence the connection between different regions of cerebral cortex
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Taking rests is important for your memory and spending about 15 minutes in playing with your phone will help improve it.
43．In addition to what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to improve your memory (In about 40 words)

30．主旨大意题。根据首段“Born with severe hearing loss, Li has found her way to communicate with the world—through painting.(天生患有严重的听力损失，李找到了与世界交流的方式——通过绘画。)”可知，Li虽听力受损，但她仍找到了与世界沟通的方式——绘画，根据第四段中的“To pursue her passion for art, Li went to study advertising design at a vocational and technical school.(为了追求自己对艺术的热情，李去一所职业技术学校学习广告设计。)”可知，她为追求自己对艺术热爱，她上大学学习广告设计，并顺利毕业，找到一份工作，但她不满意自己的工作状况，又辞职与她丈夫从事3D墙面和地面绘画，并在各公园和旅游景点创作许多的艺术作品，由此可知，本文主要告诉我们的是，只要肯努力，没有什么不可能。故选D项。

Earlier this year, the United Nations called for a campaign to improve road safety. （每年，道路事故造成100万人死亡，数百万人受伤。发展中国家的经济成本最大。今年早些时候，联合国呼吁开展一场改善道路安全的运动。）”可知，联合国发起这场运动是因为联合国希望减少道路事故和经济成本。故选D。
32．指代猜测题。根据第六段的“Professor Tikalsky says particles of fly ash are almost exactly the same size and chemical structure as Portland cement. This is the most costly material in concrete. So using fly ash to replace some of it would save money.（Tikalsky教授说颗粒粉煤灰的尺寸和化学结构几乎与硅酸盐水泥完全相同。这是混凝土中成本最高的材料。因此，用粉煤灰来代替其中的一部分可以节省资金。） ”可知，要降低成本应该使用粉煤灰来代替硅酸盐水泥，则说明this指的是硅酸盐水泥，符合它所在句子描述的“混凝土中成本最高的材料是硅酸盐水泥”。故选B。
33．推理判断题。结合第2题的分析再根据第六段的“So using fly ash to replace some of it would save money.（因此，用粉煤灰来代替其中的一部分可以节省资金。）”可知，用粉煤灰建造的桥梁比普通桥梁要便宜。故选C。
34．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段的“One way to avoid accidents is better driving. Another is better roads and bridges. Engineers in the Unites States have designed ten new concrete mixtures that they think could make bridges last longer.（美国的工程师们设计了十种新的混凝土混合物，他们认为这些混合物可以使桥梁使用寿命更长。）”可知，全文都是围绕桥梁的新材料而展开的，目的是使得桥梁的寿命更长，因此D项（关于长寿命混凝土桥梁的最新信息）符合文章主旨。故选D。
35．G 36．D 37．E 38．A 39．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。主要介绍了站姿和坐姿不正确的危害以及调整方式。
35．根据空后“It is the foundation for every movement your body makes, and can determine how well your body adapts to the stresses on it.（它是你身体所有动作的基础，并且能决定你的身体对压力的适应程度。）”可知，空后的it指代的是G项“你的姿势是你坐着或站着的时候你支撑身体的方式。”中的your posture，本空介绍了什么是你的姿势，空后说明姿势的功能，故选G项。
36．根据空前“These stresses can be things like carrying weight, or sitting in an awkward position.（这些压力可以是负重或坐在一个不舒服的位置。）”可知，空前介绍了身体所承受压力有负重和坐在不舒服的位置，故D项“我们每天承受的最大压力就是重力”符合，本空进一步介绍我们每天要承受的压力还有重力，故选D项。
37．根据空前“Some muscles will become tight and inflexible.(一些肌肉会变得紧，变得僵硬。)”可知，E项“而且，不良的姿势会对你的关节造成额外的磨损。”是空前的顺义承接，空前提出了不良姿势会让身体肌肉变得紧，变得僵硬，本空的“Besides”，进一步说明不良姿势会造成关节的额外磨损，故选E项。
38．根据空前“But what if your posture can’t be that great (但是，如果你的姿势不可能那么好呢？)”和空后“For example, adjust your screen so it’s at or slightly below eye level. Make sure all parts of your body, like your elbows and wrists, are supported.(例如，调整屏幕，使其处于或略低于眼镜水平。确保你的身体的所有部位，如肘部和手腕，都得到支撑。)”可知，空前提出问题，空后举例说明要调整屏幕，故A项“试着重新调整你的环境”符合，如果姿势不能那么好，那就选择调整环境你，故选A项。
39．根据空前“In fact, being still for long periods with good posture can be worse than regular movement with bad posture.(事实上，以良好的姿势长时间静止可能比以不良姿势进行有规律的运动更糟糕。)”可知，空前提出了良好姿势的长时间静止比以不良姿势运动更糟糕，故C项“因此，如果你经常坐着，偶尔要站起来走动一下”符合，空前提出了长时间静止对身体并不好，故要偶尔站起来走动一下，故选C项。
40．Taking breaks. 41．Tiredness, negative feelings, and stress. 42．Taking rests is important for your memory and spending about 15 minutes in playing with your phone will help improve it.
Because when taking rests, you should go to a quiet space and not have any distractions around you. This includes not having your cell phone nearby. So you can't playing with your phone. 43．言之有理即可。例如：Firstly, when studying, I will focus my attention and don’t think about other things. Secondly, I try to understand what I are learning. By doing so, I can remember things for a long time. Thirdly, by going over what I have learned in time, I will not forget the things easily.

Therefore, factors such as tiredness, negative feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.(目前，我们知道，为了实现最佳连接，我们必须休息。因此，疲劳、消极情绪或压力等因素使我们很难将一个领域与另一个领域联系起来。)”可知，疲劳、消极情绪或压力等因素会影响大脑皮层不同区域之间的联系。故答案填Tiredness, negative feelings, and stress.
42．考查细节理解。由文章倒数第二段“However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and not have any distractions (分心的事) around you. This includes not having your cell phone nearby.(然而，有一个小细节很重要。休息必须是真正的休息。换句话说，你应该去一个安静的地方，周围没有任何干扰。这包括不要把手机放在附近。)”可知，休息的时候不应把手机放在身旁，它会干扰你，所以休息的时候不可以玩手机。故答案Taking rests is important for your memory and spending about 15 minutes in playing with your phone will help improve it. Because when taking rests, you should go to a quiet space and not have any distractions around you. This includes not having your cell phone nearby. So you can’t playing with your phone.
