When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
24．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A．He felt disappointed. B．He gave up his hobby.
C．He liked the weather there. D．He had disagreements with his family.
25．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean
A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don’t worry!
26．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends.
C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days
27．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Children should learn a second language.
B．Sport is necessary for children’s health.
C．Children need a sense of belonging
D．Seeing the world is a must for children.

Most of us probably believe how easy it is to simply walk into a shoe store, get an accurate measurement of our foot size, and leave with a perfectly fitting pair of shoes. That’s not, however, . a luxury (奢侈品) afforded to many in the developing world.
It’s something Idaho native Kenton Lee noticed in 2008 while on business in Africa. There he observed some poor kids wearing ill-fitting, broken, and entirely insufficient footwear, exposing the children to dangerous infections.
Having identified the problem, Lee set out to create a solution. The result is “The Shoe That Grows”. The unique piece of footwear is covered in snaps (摁扣) and button-holes which allow the shoe’s straps (鞋带) to be adjusted to fit an estimated five years’ worth of growth on the part of the wearer. As the Shoe That Grows website points out, each shoe is made using materials that are easy to clean and difficult to break.
The shoes were created through a partnership between Because International, the nonprofit founded by Lee upon his return to Idaho, and Proof of Concept, a footwear product development company. An initial order of 3,000 shoes was filled in late fall of 2014, with The Washington Post reporting that a second shipment of 5,000 shoes was sold in July of the following year, due to a successful crowdfunding campaign to expand the aid operation.
At the core of Because International is a guiding principle of “Practical Compassion”. It’s a phrase seen all over the Shoe That Grows website. As Lee explains, “We believe in creating innovative products that can help people living in extreme poverty around the world and help them in really simple, practical ways.”
28．What problem did Kenton Lee discover in Africa
A．The lack of shoe stores.
B．Children wearing unsuitable shoes.
C．The high production cost of footwear.
D．The difficulty of accurate foot measurements.
29．How does “The Shoe That Grows” fit the growth of the wearer
A．By using adjustable straps. B．By changing the size of snaps.
C．By providing different shoe sizes. D．By employing a stretchable material.
30．What does the underlined phrase “Practical Compassion” refer to in paragraph 5
A．Offering emotional support to people in trouble.
B．Advocating practical policies to reduce global poverty.
C．Giving simple and practical solutions to help those in need.
D．Encouraging individuals to contribute through practical donations.
31．In which section of a website can we probably read this text
A．Sports and fitness. B．Innovation and design.
C．Culture and society. D．Finance and investment.

Have you ever wondered why most store-bought tomatoes are so tasteless Does it relate to climate change or soils The answer has something to do with farmers’ income: Tomato farmers care about output, and the genetic variants (基因变体) associated with output are not associated with tasty tomato flavor, a new study finds.
Is it possible to bring back the rich, sweet flavor of the tomato To find out, Denise Tieman, research assistant at the University of Florida, explored which genes are associated with tomatoes’ taste.
In an attempt to fix supermarket tomatoes, Florida researchers looked at 398 different types and identified the chemical and genetic makeup of each one. They had participants taste-test 101 varieties, cross-referencing the participants’ favorites with their research findings. They ended up with 13 genetic compositions that are most likely responsible for giving tomatoes their flavor. The researchers then measured the content of the 13 flavor compositions in each of the tomatoes, and identified about250 genetic loci (遗传基因座) that controlled tomato flavor. And the researchers also wanted to explore why supermarket tomatoes have no taste.
It turns out that for industrial growers, it all comes down to priorities (优先性). North American consumers want year-round availability, so farmers started raising their plants for qualities like firmness, shelf life, high output and disease resistance, says Tieman. “Not to discount any of that because it’s all important. We want to have tomatoes in the grocery stores year round and be able to ship them long distances when it’s winter in the north. If they have to be shipped from Florida or Mexico, you need to have all those features.” But as growers planted tomatoes to meet those priorities, the flavor gradually disappeared.
Going back to the old varieties is not an option—at least, not for grocery stores. But the researchers believe that there is hope for a growable tomato that’s both long-lasting and flavorful in about three to five years.
32．What is the main reason for the tasteless store-bought tomatoes
A．They get little energy from the soil.
B．They are affected by climate change.
C．Tomato farmers prioritize output over flavor.
D．Consumers demand tomatoes with a longer shelf life.
33．What did the researchers mainly do to research the taste of tomatoes
A．They conducted a survey on tomato consumers.
B．They measured the size and firmness of tomatoes.
C．They analyzed the genetics of different tomato varieties.
D．They interviewed tomato farmers about their growing methods.
34．What’s the researchers’ attitude to developing new tasty tomato varieties
A．Reserved. B．Positive. C．Objective. D．Dismissive.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．How Are Tasty Tomatoes Produced
B．New Tomato Varieties to Be Released
C．Risks of Too Much Tomato Consumption
D．Why Do Store Tomatoes Lose Their Flavor

Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material. It most commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction, nonfiction, and in some instances, journalism, and songs.
What Is Literature
Generally speaking, literature represents the culture and tradition of a language or a nation. 36 It's clear that the accepted definition of literature is constantly changing and evolving. For many, the word literature suggests a higher art form. Merely putting words on a page doesn't necessarily mean creating literature. A common standard is the accepted body of works for a given author.
Literary Fiction vs. Genre Fiction
37 Genre fiction includes types such as mystery, science fiction, western, romance, thriller, and horror. It typically does not have as much character development as literary fiction and is read for entertainment, escapism, and plots. Literary fiction explores themes common to the human condition and uses symbolism and other literary devices to convey the author's viewpoint on his or her chosen themes. 38 The main character typically comes to a realization or changes in some way during the course of a literary novel.
39
Works of literature, at their best, provide a kind of blueprint(蓝图) of human society. From the writings of ancient civilizations such as Egypt and China to Greek philosophy and poetry, from the epics of Homer to the plays of William Shakespeare, from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to Maya Angelou, works of literature give insight and context to all the world's societies. In this way, literature is more than just a historical or cultural artifact. 40
A．Why Is Literature Important
B．How To Create Literature
C．The concept is difficult to precisely define, though many have tried.
D．It can serve as an introduction to a new world of experience.
E．Some definitions also separate literary fiction from “genre fiction. ”
F．Literary fiction involves getting into the minds of the characters and experiencing their relationships with others.
G．The differences in types do not mean that literary writers are better than genre fiction writers, just that they operate differently.

I looked up from my desk to see Ms. Chow writing on the board, “Battle of the Books!” She smiled and then said, “Are you ready to go into the battle Get prepared for it next week!”
“Is it a reading contest ” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.
“Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!”
Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates ”
“Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together.

Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure.
“Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.

(那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he
began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”(我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，”他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好!”)”可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现)”以及文章第二段“Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters.(泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友)”及文章倒数第二段“When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.(我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了)”以及文章最后一段“When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring.(当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天)”可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。
28．B 29．A 30．C 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Kenton Lee看到非洲贫困地区的孩子买不起合脚的鞋子，因而设计出了能调节大小的鞋子，帮助解决他们的实际需求。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There he observed some poor kids wearing ill-fitting, broken, and entirely insufficient footwear, exposing the children to dangerous infections. (在那里，他观察到一些贫穷的孩子穿着不合身、破损、完全不合身的鞋子，使孩子们容易受到危险的感染。)”可知，Kenton Lee在非洲发现的问题是孩子们穿着不合脚的鞋子。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The unique piece of footwear is covered in snaps and button-holes which allow the shoe’s straps to be adjusted to fit an estimated five years’ worth of growth on the part of the wearer. (这款独特的鞋子上布满了扣带和扣孔，这样鞋子的绑带就可以调整，以适应穿着者大约五年的成长。)”可知，这款独特的鞋子上布满了摁扣和扣眼，可以调整鞋带，以适应穿着者五年的成长。故选A。
30．词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“At the core of Because International is a guiding principle (Because International的核心指导原则)”和“It’s a phrase seen all over the Shoe That Grows website. As Lee explains, “We believe in creating innovative products that can help people living in extreme poverty around the world and help them in really simple, practical ways.” (正如李解释的那样，“我们相信创造创新的产品，可以帮助世界各地生活在极端贫困中的人们，并以非常简单、实用的方式帮助他们。”)”可知，非营利组织Because International的核心理念是“Practical Compassion”，这正如Lee解释的那样：“我们相信，创造创新产品可以帮助世界各地生活在极端贫困中的人们，并以真正简单、实用的方式帮助他们”。由此可知，Practical Compassion指的是提供简单、实用的解决方案，帮助有需要的人。A. Offering emotional support to people in trouble为有困难的人提供情感支持；B. Advocating practical policies to reduce global poverty倡导减少全球贫困的实际政策；C. Giving simple and practical solutions to help those in need提供简单实用的解决方案来帮助那些需要帮助的人；D. Encouraging individuals to contribute through practical donations鼓励个人通过实际捐赠做出贡献。故选C。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Having identified the problem, Lee set out to create a solution. The result is “The Shoe That Grows”. The unique piece of footwear is covered in snaps (摁扣) and button-holes which allow the shoe’s straps (鞋带) to be adjusted to fit an estimated five years’ worth of growth on the part of the wearer. As the Shoe That Grows website points out, each shoe is made using materials that are easy to clean and difficult to break. (在发现问题之后，李开始着手创造一个解决方案。结果就是“长出来的鞋”。这款独特的鞋子上布满了扣带和扣孔，这样鞋子的绑带就可以调整，以适应穿着者大约五年的成长。正如“长鞋”网站所指出的那样，每只鞋都是用易于清洁且不易破碎的材料制成的。)”可知，文章主要介绍了Kenton Lee为了解决贫困地区孩子买不起合脚的鞋子的问题设计出了能调节大小的鞋子。由此可推断出，本文可能出现在网站的创新与设计版块。故选B。
32．C 33．C 34．B 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在大多数超市买到的西红柿淡而无味的原因。研究发现这可能与西红柿种植者们过于重视其产量有关。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The answer has something to do with farmers’ income: Tomato farmers care about output, and the genetic variants (基因变体) associated with output are not associated with tasty tomato flavor, a new study finds. (答案与农民的收入有关：一项新的研究发现，种植番茄的农民关心的是产量，而与产量相关的基因变异与美味的番茄味道无关。)”可知，一项新的研究发现，西红柿种植者关心的是产量，而与产量相关的基因变体使番茄不再可口。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“In an attempt to fix supermarket tomatoes, Florida researchers looked at 398 different types and identified the chemical and genetic makeup of each one. They had participants taste-test 101 varieties, cross-referencing the participants’ favorites with their research findings. They ended up with 13 genetic compositions that are most likely responsible for giving tomatoes their flavor. The researchers then measured the content of the 13 flavor compositions in each of the tomatoes, and identified about250 genetic loci (遗传基因座) that controlled tomato flavor. And the researchers also wanted to explore why supermarket tomatoes have no taste. (为了修复超市里的番茄，佛罗里达的研究人员研究了398种不同类型的西红柿，并确定了每种番茄的化学成分和基因组成。他们让参与者品尝了101个品种，并将参与者的最爱与他们的研究结果进行了交叉对比。他们最终得到了13种最有可能赋予番茄味道的基因组成。然后，研究人员测量了每种番茄中13种风味成分的含量，并确定了大约250个控制番茄风味的基因位点。研究人员还想探究为什么超市里的番茄没有味道。)”可知，研究者是通过分析不同番茄品种的基因特征来研究番茄的味道的。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the researchers believe that there is hope for a growable tomato that’s both long-lasting and flavorful in about three to five years. (但研究人员相信，种植一种三到五年既持久又美味的番茄是有希望的。)”可知，研究人员对开发美味的番茄新品种的态度是积极的。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段“Have you ever wondered why most store-bought tomatoes are so tasteless Does it relate to climate change or soils The answer has something to do with farmers’ income: Tomato farmers care about output, and the genetic variants (基因变体) associated with output are not associated with tasty tomato flavor, a new study finds. (你有没有想过为什么大多数商店里买的番茄都那么无味？它与气候变化或土壤有关吗？答案与农民的
收入有关：一项新的研究发现，种植番茄的农民关心的是产量，而与产量相关的基因变异与美味的番茄味道无关。)”可知，文章主要介绍了在大多数超市里买到的番茄味道不可口的原因。由此可知，D项“Why Do Store Tomatoes Lose Their Flavor (为什么商店里的番茄这么无味？)”适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

In this way, literature is more than just a historical or cultural artifact.(文学作品，在最好的情况下，提供了一种人类社会的蓝图。从埃及和中国等古代文明的著作到希腊哲学和诗
