When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland, USA, found out her father had stage four thyroid(甲状腺) cancer, her response was a little different than you might expect. To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer.
“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor asking my neighbours for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly incredible, and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my grief rather than letting it consume me.
“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose combined with an even greater sense of compassion(同情) to help others in any shape or form. I wanted to help kids. They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”
Using tips she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Emily has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her Amazon wish list, which can be found in the bio of the book drive’s Instagram account.
Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into their car. “It was such an honour knowing people have carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to gift it to my cause.”
The project has seen huge success, with For Love and Buttercup donating over 15,000 books and being recognized by The Washington Post, Forbes, The President’s Volunteer Service Award and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation.

“Our temperature’s not what people think it is,” said Julie Parsonnet, MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy in Stanford. “or our common sense that our normal temperature is 37℃or 98.6 F, is wrong.”
That standard of 37℃was made famous by German doctor Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in a book in 1868. Modern studies, however, have called that number into question, suggesting that it’s too high.
In a latest study published in eLife, Parsonnet and her colleagues explore body temperature trends and conclude that temperature changes since the time of Wunderlich reflect a true historical pattern, rather than measurement errors or biases (偏见). The researchers propose that the decrease in body temperature is the result of changes in our environment over the past 200 years, which have in turn driven physiological changes.
The researchers analyzed temperatures from three officially-recorded datasets covering different historical periods, using the 677,423 temperature measurements from these datasets to develop a linear model (线性模型) containing the temperatures over time. They determined that the body temperature of men born in the early to mid-1990s is on average 1.06 F lower than that of men born in the early 1800s. Similarly, they determined that the body temperature of women born in the early to mid-1990s is on average 0.58 F lower than that of women born in the 1890s. These calculations match a decrease in body temperature of 0.05 F every 10 years.
The decrease in average body temperature in the US could be explained by a reduction in the amount of energy being used. The authors believe this trend may be due to a population-wide decrease in inflammation (炎症): “Inflammation produces all sorts of proteins and cytokines that speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢) and raise your temperature,” Parsonnet said. Public health has improved sharply in the past 200 years due to advances in medical treatments, more convenient environment, greater availability of food and improved living standards. The authors also argue that comfortable lives at constant surrounding temperature contribute to a lower metabolic rate. Homes in the 19th century had irregular heating and no cooling; today, central heating and air conditioning are commonplace. A more constant environment removes a need to expend energy to keep a constant body temperature.
28. What does the underlined phrase “call ... into question” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Find evidence for something. B. Show support for something.
C. Regard something as nothing. D. Express doubt about something.
pared to her body temperature at birth, how could it change when a woman was 55
A. 0.58 F lower. B. 0.53 F lower. C. 0.28 F lower. D. 0.25 F lower.

A Introduction of the latest findings of a Standford professor.
B. Appeal to the public to care about the temperature changes.
C. Possible reasons for the changes of average body temperature.
D. Explanation of a rather difficult academic term in plain English.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. 37℃, Still Normal Body Temperature
B. Same Body Temperature between Men and Women
C. The Effects Environment Has on Body Temperature
D. Inflammation: Key Factor to Decrease of Body Temperature
D
A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five would rather have a dog than be in a relationship.
The research, which asked 2,612 dog owners for their thoughts on romance, found just under a quarter agreed that having a dog would make them feel less concerned about not being in love.
Perhaps the findings are unsurprising, as celebrities have long used dogs as their plus-ones. Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year, describing her pet as “the best date a girl can have”. Jennifer Aniston has credited her dogs and female friends with making her happy, stating: “I’ve had more fun post-40 than I can remember.”
Bill Lambert, a spokesman for the Kennel Club, said: “There certainly seems to be a growing number of dog-lovers who would rather share their lives with a four-legged friend instead of a human partner. This could be due to the many benefits that come with dog ownership — from the psychological to the physical. Dogs help their owners relax, whether that’s with a daily walk in fresh air, or with a cuddle (依偎) on a sofa. They can also be great listeners, help their owners fight stress, and can play a part in improving the health and fitness of their two-legged owners.”
Nevertheless, for those dog owners who are still looking for love, the research suggests their pet might help.
More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date or found love while out with their dog, with beagles, springer spaniels and German Shepherds appearing best for attracting a potential partner. People who owned golden retrievers and corgis were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.
Mr Lambert said: “This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker, when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other, and that we tend to have very positive associations about people who love dogs.”
Among those responding to the survey, 21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
32. How would a single with a dog react when asked for their opinion of love
A. Behave like a cat on hot bricks. B. Stay calm or even a little carefree.
C. Feel quite worried about being single. D. Still be hopeful about love and marriage.
33. Why does the author mention the celebrities in Paragraph 3
A. To tell us some romantic stories about them.
B. To show that the result of the research is true.
C. To persuade us to follow these people’s example.
D. To give us some tips on how to be in a relationship.
34. According to Bill Lambert, why do many people tend to live with dogs
A. Because of the advice given by their doctors.
B. Because the dogs can remind them of somebody.
C. Because they can’t find their true love in reality.
D. Because of the good their dogs bring to their life.
35. What can you do if you are to find your likely partner
A. Learn some basic knowledge about dogs.
B. Set up a homeless dog shelter on your own.
C. Bring some dog food with you in the street.
D. Walk your beagle in the park after supper.

The library was typically so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. But on this Wednesday afternoon, there was a roar of laughter that spread through the halls. It was coming from a table in the back. Books were piled so high that one could barely see the source of all the noise. Brian and Josie were hiding behind the mountain of history texts, their faces bright red from laughing.
Mrs Cane, the librarian, followed the laughter and then approached the table. As she cleared her throat and looked over the piles of books, Brian and Josie looked up to meet her gaze. Mrs Cane looked at the books, then at the kids. “And what is it you two are supposed to be working on ”
Brian hesitated a moment, and then answered, “We’re working on a paper for our history class.”
“I see,” Mrs Cane said harshly. “Perhaps one of the private reading rooms would be a better place for you to concentrate and study. Quietly.”
The kids collected their books and their backpacks and followed Mrs Cane down a long hallway until they got to a dark row of doors. Mrs Cane pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket and unlocked a door. She turned on the light, which shone brightly overhead. The kids placed their books on the dusty table and reluctantly (不情愿地) climbed into the chairs. Brian and Josie shrugged (耸肩) and opened their books, finally focusing on the project at hand.
Time was ticking away. After what seemed like hours, Brian and Josie decided to take a break and when Josie opened the door of the room, Brian’s eyes opened wide. The library was completely dark. Looking at his watch, he let out a gasp. “It’s 9:30! The library closed an hour ago!”
Paragraph 1:
Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

They heard a noise that sounded like a telephone ringing.

These calculations match a decrease in body temperature of 0.05 F every 10 years.
The decrease in average body temperature in the US could be explained by a reduction in the amount of energy being used. The authors believe this trend may be due to a population-wide decrease in inflammation (炎症): “Inflammation produces all sorts of proteins and cytokines that speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢) and raise your temperature,” Parsonnet said. Public health has improved sharply in the past 200 years due to advances in medical treatments, more convenient environment, greater availability of food and improved living standards. The authors also argue that comfortable lives at constant surrounding temperature contribute to a lower metabolic rate. Homes in the 19th century had irregular heating and no cooling; today, central heating and air conditioning are commonplace. A more constant environment removes a need to expend energy to keep a constant body temperature.
28. What does the underlined phrase “call ... into question” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Find evidence for something. B. Show support for something.
C. Regard something as nothing. D. Express doubt about something.
pared to her body temperature at birth, how could it change when a woman was 55

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文是斯坦福大学医学院健康研究政策教授朱莉 ·帕森内特和她的团队刚刚发布了一项研究成果,　发现自19世纪以来，成年人的平均体温在持续下降，不到200年间下降了0.4℃，从37℃降到36.6℃。文章对研究过程和方法和体温下降原因进行了阐述。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Modern studies, however(现代研究，然而)” 中however一词表示转折，以及后文“suggesting that it’s too high.(表明它太高了)”再加上文章后面的研究，可知后继研究者对该数据很是质疑，故划线词意思是“表达对某事的怀疑”。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“Similarly, they determined that the body temperature of women born in the early to mid-1990s is on average 0.58 F lower than that of women born in the 1890s. These calculations match a decrease in body temperature of 0.05 F every 10 years.(同样，他们确定，20世纪90年代初至90年代中期出生的女性的体温平均比19世纪90年代出生的女性低0.58华氏度。这些计算结果与每10年体温下降0.05华氏度相符)”可知，与出生时的体温相比，女性55岁时的体温会降低0.05×5+0.025≈0.28，故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The decrease in average body temperature in the US could be explained by a reduction in the amount of energy being used. The authors believe this trend may be due to a population-wide decrease in inflammation (炎症): “Inflammation produces all sorts of proteins and cytokines that speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢) and raise your temperature,” Parsonnet said.

The authors also argue that comfortable lives at constant surrounding temperature contribute to a lower metabolic rate. Homes in the 19th century had irregular heating and no cooling; today, central heating and air conditioning are commonplace. A more constant environment removes a need to expend energy to keep a constant body temperature.(美国人平均体温的下降可以用能量消耗的减少来解释。作者认为，这种趋势可能是由于人群中炎症的减少：“炎症会产生各种蛋白质和细胞因子，加速你的新陈代谢，提高你的体温，”帕森内特说。在过去的200年里，由于医疗的进步、更便利的环境、更多的食物供应和生活水平的提高，公共卫生得到了急剧改善。作者还认为，在恒定的环境温度下舒适的生活有助于降低代谢率。19世纪的家庭供暖不规律，也没有制冷设备；今天，中央供暖和空调已经司空见惯。一个更稳定的环境消除了消耗能量来保持恒定体温的需要)”可知，文章最后一段的主旨是平均体温变化的可能原因。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。本文前三段为我们呈现了斯坦福大学医学院健康研究政策教授朱莉 ·帕森内特和她的团队一项最新研究成果－－发现自19世纪以来，成年人的平均体温在持续下降，不到200年间下降了0.4℃，从37℃降到36.6℃。第四段是研究过程和方法；第五段是体温下降原因进行了阐述。作为标题，A项“37℃，体温正常吗？”反问句不仅全面呈现文章主要内容而且能够吸引读者的兴趣。故选A项。
D
A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five would rather have a dog than be in a relationship.
The research, which asked 2,612 dog owners for their thoughts on romance, found just under a quarter agreed that having a dog would make them feel less concerned about not being in love.
Perhaps the findings are unsurprising, as celebrities have long used dogs as their plus-ones. Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year, describing her pet as “the best date a girl can have”. Jennifer Aniston has credited her dogs and female friends with making her happy, stating: “I’ve had more fun post-40 than I can remember.”
Bill Lambert, a spokesman for the Kennel Club, said: “There certainly seems to be a growing number of dog-lovers who would rather share their lives with a four-legged friend instead of a human partner. This could be due to the many benefits that come with dog ownership — from the psychological to the physical. Dogs help their owners relax, whether that’s with a daily walk in fresh air, or with a cuddle (依偎) on a sofa. They can also be great listeners, help their owners fight stress, and can play a part in improving the health and fitness of their two-legged owners.”
Nevertheless, for those dog owners who are still looking for love, the research suggests their pet might help.
More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date or found love while out with their dog, with beagles, springer spaniels and German Shepherds appearing best for attracting a potential partner. People who owned golden retrievers and corgis were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.
Mr Lambert said: “This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker, when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other, and that we tend to have very positive associations about people who love dogs.”
Among those responding to the survey, 21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
32. How would a single with a dog react when asked for their opinion of love
A. Behave like a cat on hot bricks. B. Stay calm or even a little carefree.
C. Feel quite worried about being single. D. Still be hopeful about love and marriage.
33. Why does the author mention the celebrities in Paragraph 3
A. To tell us some romantic stories about them.
B. To show that the result of the research is true.
C. To persuade us to follow these people’s example.
D. To give us some tips on how to be in a relationship.
34. According to Bill Lambert, why do many people tend to live with dogs
A. Because of the advice given by their doctors.
B. Because the dogs can remind them of somebody.
C. Because they can’t find their true love in reality.
D. Because of the good their dogs bring to their life.
35. What can you do if you are to find your likely partner
A. Learn some basic knowledge about dogs.
B. Set up a homeless dog shelter on your own.
C. Bring some dog food with you in the street.
D. Walk your beagle in the park after supper.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。Kennel俱乐部开展的一项调查发现约20%的人宁愿养狗也不愿意谈恋爱，对于还在苦苦寻觅爱情的狗主人来说，狗也会有所帮助。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The research, which asked 2,612 dog owners for their thoughts on romance, found just under a quarter agreed that having a dog would make them feel less concerned about not being in love.(这项调查询问了2612名养狗的人对爱情的看法，结果发现，只有不到四分之一的人认为养狗会让他们不那么担心没有恋爱。)”可知，当被问及对爱情的看法时，养狗的单身人士会比较冷静甚至有点不在乎。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“Perhaps the findings are unsurprising, as celebrities have long used dogs as their plus-ones. Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year, describing her pet as “the best date a girl can have”. Jennifer Aniston has credited her dogs and female friends with making her happy, stating: “I’ve had more fun post-40 than I can remember.”(也许这一发现并不令人惊讶，因为名人长期以来一直把狗当作他们的伴侣。好莱坞传奇人物格伦·克洛斯(Glenn Close)去年带着她的哈瓦那犬皮普(Pip)参加了奥斯卡颁奖典礼，称她的宠物是“女孩最好的约会对象”。詹妮弗·安妮斯顿认为她的狗和女性朋友让她感到快乐，她说:“40岁后的我比我记忆中有更多的乐趣。”)”此处作者采用例证法，用名人养狗以及与狗亲近的例子来佐证该项研究成果的真实性，故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段Bill Lambert说的话“This could be due to the many benefits that come with dog ownership — from the psychological to the physical.(可能是由于养狗带来的许多好处——从心理上到身体上。)”可知，他认为许多人与狗生活是因为养狗好处多，故选D项。
35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段的“More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date or found love while out with their dog, with beagles, springer spaniels and German Shepherds appearing best for attracting a potential partner.( 超过五分之一的受访者表示，他们曾在和狗外出时被邀请出去约会或找到真爱，其中比格犬、斯普林格猎犬和德国牧羊犬最能吸引潜在伴侣。)”；倒数第二段的“This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker, when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other, and that we tend to have very positive associations about people who love dogs.(当你考虑到狗是一个很好的破冰者时，这并不奇怪，因为陌生人可能不会多看对方一眼，但我们往往对爱狗的人有非常积极的联想。)”以及最后一段“Among those responding to the survey, 21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.(在接受调查的人中，21%的人说他们更愿意和养狗的人约会。)”可以推断出，狗可以在男女搭讪中完美发挥破冰作用，所以要晚饭后在公园遛遛你的小猎犬，故选D项。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Grow Taller
As we all know, your height is mostly determined by your genetics. Once your growth plates (生长板) are joined together, you will stop growing taller, which usually happens between 14 and 20. ___36___ Of course, there are many ways you can find on the Internet to help, such as, good nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and exercise. But today, we’re just going to focus on nutrition.
Add more protein into your diet.
Protein helps your body build healthy body mass, like muscles. ___37___ Not only eat protein at every meal, but also include it in your snacks. For instance, you might eat yogurt at breakfast, tuna fish for lunch, chicken at dinner, and string cheese as a snack.
Eat an egg every day if you’re not allergic to them.
Kindergarten teachers have observed something typical and interesting. Young children who eat a whole egg daily may grow taller than kids who don’t. And this has been proved clinically. Eggs contain protein and vitamins that support healthy growth and they’re also quite affordable. Eat an egg for one meal every day to potentially help you get taller. But here is a tip for you. ___38___
Take calcium and vitamin supplements.
___39___ However, your daily meals can’t supply enough for your growth. Supplements may help you grow taller by meeting your nutritional needs. Calcium and vitamins A and D are especially important because they support strong bones. Talk to your doctor to find out if supplements are right for you. Keep in mind that vitamins won’t make you grow taller than your genetics allow.
___40___
Dairy contains protein, calcium, and vitamins to nourish your body. While milk is a great choice, yogurt and cheese are also great sources of dairy. Include 1 serving of your favorite dairy product into your daily diet.
A. Keep a balanced diet.
B. This can help you be your tallest.
C. Consume a serving of dairy each day.
D. Please ask your doctor if it’s safe for you to do so.

But here is a tip for you.(鸡蛋含有蛋白质和维生素，有助于健康生长，而且价格也很实惠。每天一餐吃一个鸡蛋可能有助于你长高。但这里有个小提示)”可知，标题提到如果你对鸡蛋不过敏，每天吃一个鸡蛋，故本句承接上文说明提示的具体内容，故D选项“请询问你的医生这样做是否安全”符合语境，故选D。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Calcium and vitamins A and D are especially important because they support strong bones.(钙和维生素A和D尤其重要，因为它们能强健骨骼)”提到了补充维生素，可知这类物质可以帮助长高。故E选项“矿物质和营养物质在长得更高的过程中起着关键作用”符合语境，故选E。
【40题详解】
根据本段内容“Dairy contains protein, calcium, and vitamins to nourish your body. While milk is a great choice, yogurt and cheese are also great sources of dairy. Include 1 serving of your favorite dairy product into your daily diet.(乳制品含有蛋白质、钙和维生素，可以滋养你的身体。牛奶是不错的选择，酸奶和奶酪也是很好的乳制品来源。在你的日常饮食中加入一份你最喜欢的乳制品)”可知，本段的建议是食用乳制品，C选项dairy对应后文Dairy。故C选项“每天食用一份乳制品”符合语境，故选C。

Students Sprang into Action to Clear Snow
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Students Sprang into Action to Clear Snow
Last Friday, a heavy snowstorm hit our city, posing a potential safety risk for citizens. In response, our class launched a volunteer activity right away to clear the snow in the street.
At 5:30 after school, our classmates set out to clear the heavy snow in teams. The cold air was filled with laughter and chatter as we worked together tirelessly, forming a heartwarming scene.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
The library was typically so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. But on this Wednesday afternoon, there was a roar of laughter that spread through the halls. It was coming from a table in the back. Books were piled so high that one could barely see the source of all the noise. Brian and Josie were hiding behind the mountain of history texts, their faces bright red from laughing.
Mrs Cane, the librarian, followed the laughter and then approached the table. As she cleared her throat and looked over the piles of books, Brian and Josie looked up to meet her gaze. Mrs Cane looked at the books, then at the kids. “And what is it you two are supposed to be working on ”
Brian hesitated a moment, and then answered, “We’re working on a paper for our history class.”
“I see,” Mrs Cane said harshly. “Perhaps one of the private reading rooms would be a better place for you to concentrate and study. Quietly.”
The kids collected their books and their backpacks and followed Mrs Cane down a long hallway until they got to a dark row of doors. Mrs Cane pulled out a ring of keys from her pocket and unlocked a door. She turned on the light, which shone brightly overhead. The kids placed their books on the dusty table and reluctantly (不情愿地) climbed into the chairs. Brian and Josie shrugged (耸肩) and opened their books, finally focusing on the project at hand.
Time was ticking away. After what seemed like hours, Brian and Josie decided to take a break and when Josie opened the door of the room, Brian’s eyes opened wide. The library was completely dark. Looking at his watch, he let out a gasp. “It’s 9:30! The library closed an hour ago!”
Paragraph 1:
Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone.

【答案】Paragraph 1
Brian looked through his backpack for his cellphone. Unfortunately, there was no cellphone inside. “I left my phone at home so we can not call anyone for help!” Brian cried out, and looked at Josie anxiously. Josie turned back, “Calm down, Brian. I remember seeing a telephone at the entrance to the library, maybe we can reach Mrs Cane on the telephone.” Then, in a hurry, Brian put the books into his backpack and left the room with Josie. It was dark outside, and the two kids tried to figure out where they should go. Slowly, they were inching towards the entrance, comforting each other.
Paragraph 2
They heard a noise that sounded like a telephone ringing. They felt their way in the darkness toward the sound, and found a telephone on the wall. Trembling with excitement, Brian answered the phone, and heard Mrs Cane’s voice on the line: “Sorry, Brian. I forgot you and Josie were in the library. Now I’m coming to get you guys out.” Hanging up the phone, Brian breathed a sigh of relief. Just in a second, Mrs Cane arrived. Excited and overjoyed, Mrs Cane rushed forward and hugged the kids tightly, praising their calmness. It was through this accidental experience that Brian and Josie learned there is always a way out when a problem arises.
