B. Bees are more hardworking.
C. Bees are hard to get along with.
【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Everyone knows that bees are busy. There is even a saying in English that one can be “as busy as a bee”. However, little is known about how bees play. Scientists have discovered one way that bees could relax after a busy day making honey—they play with balls. The scientists are from Queen Mary University of London. They did different tests on bees “playing” with different things. The insects particularly liked playing with small, wooden balls. The researchers said the way bees played was a little like how humans play. Younger bees rolled more balls than older bees, while adult males spent longer playing with balls than adult females. The ball-rolling bees are the first known insects to “play”. The researchers experimented on 45 bees in a specially designed test area. The bees were given two options. The first choice was to fly or walk directly to get a sugary treat. The second choice was to get to the treat by going around different coloured wooden balls. Most of the bees decided to play with the balls and then get their treat. A researcher said the experiments showed that bees are more thoughtful than people believed. She said: “Bees are a million miles from the mindless, unfeeling creatures they are traditionally believed to be.” She added that: “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complex than we might imagine.”

When Roosevelt was a kid, his doctors claimed that he was too weak to live a normal life like most children of his age. They strongly recommended him to avoid participation in any physical activities, fearing that it could worsen his health condition and potentially lead to his death. Their opinions implied that he would face up to a life full of all kinds of limitations. Instead of permitting their limiting beliefs about what he could do and achieve, he chose to live a meaningful life.
Despite his doctors’ strong suggestions that he remain inactive, he didn’t want to be a carefree observer of the world as it passed him by. He was determined to force himself to be active. Roosevelt had daily adventures in the woods as a boy.
He continued to play sports when he got to college. In fact, he didn’t just play, but he excelled in both boxing and rowing, both of which require astonishing levels of strength and endurance. When Roosevelt graduated from college, his doctors were still not completely sure about his health condition. They still believed that he would be putting himself in serious danger, because his heart problems had not improved. They firmly believed that it would be best to find a desk job for him after completing a college degree. Once again, Roosevelt decided to challenge himself to his physical limits by living an extremely energetic adult life. In about every field he took part, he would aim to push his physical limits. Impressively, he was excellent as an explorer, a hunter, an author, a soldier and a politician.
Eventually, Roosevelt went beyond the mistaken limitation upon him and lived an amazing life.
24. What would happen if Roosevelt followed his doctors’ suggestions
A. He would live a meaningful life.
B. His life would be full of limitations.
C. His parents would feel satisfied with him.
D. He would become an extraordinary person.

A. An explorer. B. A boxing player.
C. An office clerk. D. A politician.
26. How is the text mainly developed
A. By following time order. B. By listing obvious reasons.
C. By giving some examples. D. By making necessary comparisons.

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。Roosevelt小时候身体虚弱，医生建议他不要参加任何体育活动，但他突破身体的限制，选择过一种有意义的人生。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Their opinions implied that he would face up to a life full of all kinds of limitations.(他们的意见暗示他将面对充满各种限制的生活)”可知，如果遵照医生的建议，Roosevelt的生活将充斥着各种各样的限制。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When Roosevelt graduated from college, his doctors were still not completely sure about his health condition. They still believed that he would be putting himself in serious danger, because his heart problems had not improved. They firmly believed that it would be best to find a desk job for him after completing a college degree. (罗斯福大学毕业时，他的医生们仍然对他的健康状况不完全确定。他们仍然认为他将把自己置于严重的危险之中，因为他的心脏问题没有得到改善。他们坚信，在他完成大学学位后，最好为他找一份办公室工作。)”可知，医生认为Roosevelt大学毕业后最好找一份办公室工作。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When Roosevelt was a kid, his doctors claimed that he was too weak to live a normal life like most children of his age.(当罗斯福还是个孩子的时候，他的医生说他太虚弱了，不能像大多数同龄的孩子那样过正常的生活)”；第三段中“He continued to play sports when he got to college. (上大学后，他继续参加体育运动)”以及“They firmly believed that it would be best to find a desk job for him after completing a college degree.(他们坚信，在他完成大学学位后，最好为他找一份办公室工作)”可知，文章主要是按时间顺序叙述的。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Instead of permitting their limiting beliefs about what he could do and achieve, he chose to live a meaningful life.(他选择过有意义的生活，而不是让他们限制他能做什么和取得什么成就。)”，第二 段的“He was determined to force himself to be active. Roosevelt had daily adventures in the woods as a boy.(他决心强迫自己积极起来。罗斯福小时候每天都在森林里冒险。)”以及第三段的“Impressively, he was excellent as an explorer, a hunter, an author, a soldier and a politician.(令人印象深刻的是，他是一位出色的探险家、猎人、作家、士兵和政治家。)”可知，在Roosevelt小时候，他的医生建议他不要参加任何体育活动，担心参加体育活动会使他的健康状况恶化，但他选择过一种有意义的人生，成为出色的探险家、猎人、作家、士兵和政治家。由此可推知，Roosevelt有理想有抱负。故选D。
C
It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it. In his own words, it allowed him to “hear through his teeth”.
Robert Friedman, who was in the business of buying and selling pianos, recently showed off marks on a piano that was once owned by Edison. The piano had groups of small marks above the keyboard. He was surprised by the tooth marks left by the inventor of the phonograph (留声机) , a music playing device.
Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Edison ever asked for the piano at the lowest price. When he bought the piano and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sound recording. He owned the instrument for many years, so it was possibly used in early recordings.
There aren’t photographs of Edison biting this piano. But he was thought to bite into phonographs and pianos to help him experience music as his hearing worsened. His daughter once remembered that a guest cried on the spot at the sight of Edison biting into a piano as someone played it.
Friedman calls himself the piano hunter. He finds and buys the famous pianos from people and then sells them, usually to dealers. But this piano is more complex. He is now looking for the right home for the instrument. Friedman says that he believes that it belongs to someplace where many people can see it. Friedman does not want it to go back into private hands because of its connection to Edison. He has to find a historical group that will buy the piano, which he is offering to sell for what it cost him.
28. What was Edison’s purpose in biting the piano
A. To record his day. B. To enjoy its music.
C. To express his anger. D. To mark its importance.
29. Why did Edison buy the piano
A. To perform music. B. To decorate his lab.
C. To test the phonograph’s recording. D. To sell it at a very higher price later.
30. How did the guest feel about Edison’s behavior
A. Impressed. B. Pleased. C. Puzzled. D. Embarrassed.
31. What will Friedman do with the piano
A. Give it away. B. Make a fortune
C. Sell it at the original price. D. Keep it somewhere for himself.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文讲述了托马斯·爱迪生用独特方式欣赏钢琴音乐的趣闻，并介绍了爱迪生发明留声机和他如何用极低的价格购买钢琴进行实验。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it. In his own words, it allowed him to “hear through his teeth”.(据说托马斯·爱迪生发现了一种不寻常的欣赏钢琴音乐的方式。当有人演奏时，这位耳聋的著名发明家就会走近乐器咬它。用他自己的话来说，这让他能够“透过牙齿听到声音”)”可知，爱迪生咬钢琴的目的是透过牙齿听到声音来欣赏音乐。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Edison ever asked for the piano at the lowest price. When he bought the piano and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sound recording. He owned the instrument for many years, so it was possibly used in early recordings.(爱迪生在1877年发明了留声机。爱迪生要求以最低的价格买到钢琴。当他买了钢琴并把它放在实验室时，他正在做录音实验。他拥有这台乐器很多年，所以它可能在早期录音中使用过)”可知，爱迪生买钢琴应是来测试留声机的录音效果。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But he was thought to bite into phonographs and pianos to help him experience music as his hearing worsened. His daughter once remembered that a guest cried on the spot at the sight of Edison biting into a piano as someone played it.(但人们认为，随着听力的恶化，他咬着留声机和钢琴来帮助他体验音乐。他的女儿记得有一次，一位客人看到爱迪生咬着别人弹奏的钢琴，当场哭了)”可知，人们认为爱迪生会咬着留声机和钢琴来帮助他体验音乐，一位客人甚至哭了，所以对他的行为是钦佩的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He has to find a historical group that will buy the piano, which he is offering to sell for what it cost him.(他必须找到一个愿意购买这架钢琴的历史团体，并以原价出售)”可知，弗里德曼会把钢琴按原价出售。故选C项。
D
A smoke bomb from a party started a major blaze (火焰) near Los Angeles in September,just one of many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by people. Now, an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill more trees than ones ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part of California’s natural history. But several centuries of human settlement have created new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States,and 97% of all those that threaten homes.
Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme, says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research. But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.
To examine those differences, Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones.
However, there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze. “A fire is a fire” Hantson says. “It’s the surrounding things that matter.” Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (冒火花) power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally.
The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier,less-forested landscapes. This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network.
32. The author uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A. wildfires are mostly caused by humans
B. most wildfires threaten people’s homes
C. wildfire is a part of California’s natural history
D. wildfires break out frequently in the United States
33. What’s the purpose of Hantson’s research
A. To prove how extreme human-caused fires are.
B. To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires.
C. To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans.
D. To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one.
34. How is the result presented in paragraph 4
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By giving definitions.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different.
B. Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires.
C. Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas.
D. Humans are to blame for the extended fire season.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要介绍了人为引发的火灾比起由闪电引发的火灾传播更快，对生态系统的影响更大。研究人员通过分析卫星数据发现，在加利福尼亚州的214起火灾中，人为引发的火灾每天传播大约1.83公里，比闪电引发的火灾传播速度快两倍。人为引发的火灾还更加猛烈，对树木的破坏程度是闪电引发火灾的两到三倍。此外，研究人员还发现，人为引发的火灾更容易在极端天气条件下发生，并且更多发生在干燥、森林覆盖较少的地区。这些研究结果有助于科学家们对人类如何延长火灾季节的理解。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States, and 97% of all those that threaten homes(研究表明，美国84%的野火和97%的威胁家园的野火都是人为点火造成的)”可知，作者在第二段中使用了一些数据来表明野火大多是由人类引起的。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.(但他指出，没有人研究过它们传播速度有多快，以及它们对加州生态系统的影响。)”及第四段“Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns, the team reports(人为引起的火灾通常每天蔓延约1.83公里，比闪电燃烧的速度快两倍多。)可知，汉森研究的目的是探索人类引起的野火的速度和影响。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns, the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones. (研究小组报告称，人为引起的火灾通常每天蔓延约1.83公里，比闪电燃烧的速度快两倍多。火势蔓延得更快，燃烧得也更猛烈，闪电造成的树木死亡的数量是树木的“两倍或三倍”) ”可知，第四段主要通过对比来展示结果。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network(这增加了科学家对人类如何延长火灾季节的理解，”国家生态观察网络的生态学家内森·米特凯维奇说)”可推断，火灾季节延长应归咎于人类。故选D。

根据下文“I am sure that since winter is approaching, your skates are set to come out, just waiting to be used.（我确定冬天要来了，你的溜冰鞋就要拿出来等着被用了。）”可知，本段讲述冬天里要滑冰的事，A项中的winter与后面的winter is approaching相呼应，且A “Don't you just love ice skating every winter（你不是每个冬天都喜欢溜冰吗）”对应了空格后的问号，故选A。
【37题详解】
上文“The first thing that you need to do is : stand straight.（你要做的第一件事是：站直）”，可知，本段介绍的要领是站直身体。下文“if you feel that you are falling backwards（当感觉身体向后倒时） ”，这个时候应该要站直身体，G项“Just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees（要抬头屈膝）”，这样才能保持身体直立，故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“The most important step while learning how to skate backwards is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. How can you achieve this By practice.（练习倒滑时最重要的是对自己有信心，对你正在做的事有信心。那么怎样做到有信心呢？通过练习。） ”可知，要通过大量的练习才能达到对倒滑有信心。选项C中的Keep practicing 以及confident与上文对应，故选C。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed.（当自信自己能够用任何一只脚滑行时，接着就要加快速度了。）”可知，这部分重点讲加速，选项D“increase your speed now(提升速度)”，符合文意，故选D。
【40题详解】
根据下文“but don’t get so involved that you don’t see where you are going. （但是不要太专注，以至于你看不到你要滑去的地方）”。but出现，说明此句和空格句句意是转折关系，but后说不要太专注，可知空格处应是滑冰时，要专注做的事。这样才对应了空格后的句意，选项F“Concentrate on what you are doing.（专注于你正在做的事）”符合文意，故选F。

第二节(满分25分)读后续写
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
After working many years in a large hospital, my work as head nurse in a small local hospital turned out frustrating. Occasionally we lacked supplies or equipment and sometimes the food was less than desirable. The biggest problem was the lack of qualified help. Still, everyone working there had a genuine love for the patients, and did their best to care for them.
Alice, a tiny, elderly lady with bright blue, twinkling eyes, was everyone’s favorite. Her only living relative was her son Jack, a large, tough man. Tattoos (纹身) covered his arms and an untidy beard grew wildly on his chin. No matter how cold the weather was, he always wore a tank top shirt so the snake artwork could be admired by all. He wore faded jeans, so stiff with thick dirt that they could have stood alone. His loud and rude manner frightened most of the staff.
But this large man loved his tiny mother. Every day, he roared up to the hospital entrance on his old motorcycle, pushed open the front door, and walked with heavy steps down the hall to her room, his loud boot heels announcing his arrival. He visited at unpredictable hours so he could surprise anyone who suspected him of not taking proper care of his mother. Yet, his gentleness with her amazed me.
I made friends with Jack, figuring I’d rather be a friend with a man like him, than an enemy. And I, like everyone else, truly loved his mother.
One particularly bad evening at the hospital, three nurses called in sick, the food carts came late and cold, and one of the patients fell and broke his hip. Jack came in at suppertime to help his mother with her meal. He stood and looked at me in surprise as I busily tried to do the work of three nurses. Exhausted, and near to tears, I avoided his stare.
After the patients were finally fed, bathed, and put to bed, I sat at the desk and put my head down on my arms for a few moments’ relaxation before the night shift arrived.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, the front door burst open.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Putting down the rose on my desk, he turned around and left.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, the front door burst open. Startled, I thought. Oh no! Here comes Jack, who were thought of far from gentleness, checking up on us again! As he came to the desk, however, I looked up to see his big hand gripping a pickle jar with a bit of colored yarn tied in a bow around the neck. And in the jar was the loveliest, long-stemmed red rose I’d ever seen. Jack handed it to me and said, “I noticed what a bad time you were having tonight. This is for you, from me and my mother.”
Putting down the rose on my desk, he turned around and left. Before I could say something, he marched back out the door, and with a roar from his motorcycle, rode out into the darkness. I was near to tears again, overwhelmed by the genuine love from this seemingly loud and rude but actually loving and gentle man. I’d received many gifts and cards from many grateful patients and their families, but they never touched me more than the red rose in the pickle jar given to me that night.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jack是个长相凶狠，言行粗鲁的人，他的母亲在作者工作的医院住院，他很爱他的母亲，经常来医院照看他的母亲。一天，医院里三名护士请病假，人手短缺，作者做了请假护士的工作，精疲力竭。Jack看到了作者很疲惫，随后给作者送了一朵玫瑰，作者对此很感动。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，前门突然打开了。”可知，第一段可描写Jack走进办公室，作者以为他是来找茬的，结果他给作者送了一朵玫瑰花，说他看到作者今天晚上过得很糟糕。
②由第二段首句内容“他把玫瑰放在我桌上，转身就走。”可知，第二段可描写他放下玫瑰花后就走开了，作者对他这种行为很感动。
2.续写线索：走进办公室——作者以为他是找茬——给作者玫瑰花——放下玫瑰后走开了——作者感动

Florence, Rome, Venice. Beautiful cities to be sure, not to mention some of the planet’s most visited travel destinations. Yet this popularity means that for many, Italy’s premier hotspots are too expensive and overcrowded to visit. If you want to enjoy a true taste of Italy without the tourists, read our list of secret Italian towns you need to visit.
Treviso, Veneto
Treviso is like a small Venice with fewer tourists and crowds. Its historical walled centre is dotted with medieval churches, cobblestone streets, red-brick palaces and tiny old canals that connect buildings, gardens and piazzas.
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna
Bologna is one of the coolest towns in Italy. It is mostly frequented by students--Bologna is home to the oldest university in Europe and a whole lot of gastronomy fans, since it’s known to be the Italian food capital. Once you arrive, don’t forget to taste the delicacies of the area, such as lasagne, tortellini and, you guessed it, bolognese.
Castelluccio, Umbria
Castelluccio is the highest village in the Apennine Mountains at 1,452m (4,764ft) above sea level. It’s a charming village with lovely squares that offer amazing views over the mountains and fields that blossom with violets and red poppies. The best time of the year to visit Castelluccio is in spring--from late May to early June.

When Roosevelt was a kid, his doctors claimed that he was too weak to live a normal life like most children of his age. They strongly recommended him to avoid participation in any physical activities, fearing that it could worsen his health condition and potentially lead to his death. Their opinions implied that he would face up to a life full of all kinds of limitations. Instead of permitting their limiting beliefs about what he could do and achieve, he chose to live a meaningful life.
Despite his doctors’ strong suggestions that he remain inactive, he didn’t want to be a carefree observer of the world as it passed him by. He was determined to force himself to be active. Roosevelt had daily adventures in the woods as a boy.
He continued to play sports when he got to college. In fact, he didn’t just play, but he excelled in both boxing and rowing, both of which require astonishing levels of strength and endurance. When Roosevelt graduated from college, his doctors were still not completely sure about his health condition. They still believed that he would be putting himself in serious danger, because his heart problems had not improved. They firmly believed that it would be best to find a desk job for him after completing a college degree. Once again, Roosevelt decided to challenge himself to his physical limits by living an extremely energetic adult life. In about every field he took part, he would aim to push his physical limits. Impressively, he was excellent as an explorer, a hunter, an author, a soldier and a politician.
Eventually, Roosevelt went beyond the mistaken limitation upon him and lived an amazing life.
24. What would happen if Roosevelt followed his doctors’ suggestions
A. He would live a meaningful life.
B. His life would be full of limitations.
C. His parents would feel satisfied with him.
D. He would become an extraordinary person.
25. What did his doctors expect Roosevelt to become after college graduation
A. An explorer. B. A boxing player.
C. An office clerk. D. A politician.
26. How is the text mainly developed
A. By following time order. B. By listing obvious reasons.
C. By giving some examples. D. By making necessary comparisons.
27. Which of the following can best describe Roosevelt
A. Humorous. B. Generous. C. Considerate. D. Ambitious.
C
It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it. In his own words, it allowed him to “hear through his teeth”.
Robert Friedman, who was in the business of buying and selling pianos, recently showed off marks on a piano that was once owned by Edison. The piano had groups of small marks above the keyboard. He was surprised by the tooth marks left by the inventor of the phonograph (留声机) , a music playing device.
Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Edison ever asked for the piano at the lowest price. When he bought the piano and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sound recording. He owned the instrument for many years, so it was possibly used in early recordings.
There aren’t photographs of Edison biting this piano. But he was thought to bite into phonographs and pianos to help him experience music as his hearing worsened. His daughter once remembered that a guest cried on the spot at the sight of Edison biting into a piano as someone played it.
Friedman calls himself the piano hunter. He finds and buys the famous pianos from people and then sells them, usually to dealers. But this piano is more complex. He is now looking for the right home for the instrument. Friedman says that he believes that it belongs to someplace where many people can see it. Friedman does not want it to go back into private hands because of its connection to Edison. He has to find a historical group that will buy the piano, which he is offering to sell for what it cost him.
28. What was Edison’s purpose in biting the piano
A. To record his day. B. To enjoy its music.
C. To express his anger. D. To mark its importance.
29. Why did Edison buy the piano
A To perform music. B. To decorate his lab.
C. To test the phonograph’s recording. D. To sell it at a very higher price later.
30. How did the guest feel about Edison’s behavior
A. Impressed. B. Pleased. C. Puzzled. D. Embarrassed.
31 What will Friedman do with the piano
A. Give it away. B. Make a fortune
C. Sell it at the original price. D. Keep it somewhere for himself.

A smoke bomb from a party started a major blaze (火焰) near Los Angeles in September,just one of many recent wildfires ignited (引燃) by people. Now, an analysis of satellite data shows human-caused blazes spread much faster and kill more trees than ones ignited by lightning.
Fire has always been a part of California’s natural history. But several centuries of human settlement have created new conditions that promote its spread.Studies have shown human ignition is to blame for 84% of all wildfires in the United States,and 97% of all those that threaten homes.
Human-caused fires always seemed more extreme, says Stijn Hantson,a fire ecologist at the University of California,Irvine,who led the new research. But measurements of how fast they spread and their impacts on ecosystems (生态系统) in California had not been explored, he notes.
To examine those differences, Hantson and his colleagues analyzed satellite data for 214 wildfires in California between 2012 and 2018.Human-caused fires typically spread about 1.83 kilometers per day, more than twice as fast as lightning-ignited burns,the team reports.The faster spreading fires also burned more violently and killed “double or triple” the trees as lightning-caused ones.
However, there is no fundamental difference in the chemistry of a human-caused blaze. “A fire is a fire” Hantson says. “It’s the surrounding things that matter.” Causes of fires ranging from improperly thrown cigarettes to sparking (冒火花) power lines could ignite a blaze on any given day, he says, while lightning strikes and dry thunderstorms only happen seasonally.
The researchers tracked meteorological data and found that human-caused fires were more likely to start on days with extreme weather conditions,and were more associated with drier,less-forested landscapes. This adds to scientists’ understanding of how humans are extending the fire season, says Nathan Mietkiewicz, an ecologist with the National Ecological Observation Network.
32. The author uses some data in paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A. wildfires are mostly caused by humans
B. most wildfires threaten people’s homes
C. wildfire is a part of California’s natural history
D. wildfires break out frequently in the United States
33. What’s the purpose of Hantson’s research
A. To prove how extreme human-caused fires are.
B. To find out the causes and solutions of wildfires.
C. To explore the speed and effects of wildfires caused by humans.
D. To examine the differences between a human-caused blaze and a nature-caused one.
34. How is the result presented in paragraph 4
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By analyzing cause and effect.
D. By giving definitions.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Human-caused fires and lightning-caused fires are basically different.
B. Lightning strikes and thunderstorms can always lead to wildfires.
C. Wildfires only happen in dry,less-forested areas.
D. Humans are to blame for the extended fire season.

After working many years in a large hospital, my work as head nurse in a small local hospital turned out frustrating. Occasionally we lacked supplies or equipment and sometimes the food was less than desirable. The biggest problem was the lack of qualified help. Still, everyone working there had a genuine love for the patients, and did their best to care for them.
Alice, a tiny, elderly lady with bright blue, twinkling eyes, was everyone’s favorite. Her only living relative was her son Jack, a large, tough man. Tattoos (纹身) covered his arms and an untidy beard grew wildly on his chin. No matter how cold the weather was, he always wore a tank top shirt so the snake artwork could be admired by all. He wore faded jeans, so stiff with thick dirt that they could have stood alone. His loud and rude manner frightened most of the staff.
But this large man loved his tiny mother. Every day, he roared up to the hospital entrance on his old motorcycle, pushed open the front door, and walked with heavy steps down the hall to her room, his loud boot heels announcing his arrival. He visited at unpredictable hours so he could surprise anyone who suspected him of not taking proper care of his mother. Yet, his gentleness with her amazed me.
I made friends with Jack, figuring I’d rather be a friend with a man like him, than an enemy. And I, like everyone else, truly loved his mother.
One particularly bad evening at the hospital, three nurses called in sick, the food carts came late and cold, and one of the patients fell and broke his hip. Jack came in at suppertime to help his mother with her meal. He stood and looked at me in surprise as I busily tried to do the work of three nurses. Exhausted, and near to tears, I avoided his stare.
After the patients were finally fed, bathed, and put to bed, I sat at the desk and put my head down on my arms for a few moments’ relaxation before the night shift arrived.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, the front door burst open.

Paragraph 2:
Putting down the rose on my desk, he turned around and left.
