Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography，a relatively new art form.He’s taken photos for an impressive list of clients，including Disney，Marvel，Hot Wheels，and Hasbro.There’s no limit to creativity，and Mitchel proves it through his unique work，providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography dates back to the 1800s，it didn’t gain popularity until the 1970s.Around this time，a man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature(微型画)photography.
Over time，it evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery.It’s a diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas.Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such as Disney movies，Star Wars，and Pokemon characters.With toy photography，the viewers，completely immersed in the story，feel like they’re actually there，in a different land.
“For me，toy photography is really all about storytelling，” Mitchel says.“Storytelling is what makes an image impactful，so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think ‘Wow，what’s going on here？’”
Mitchel was a wedding photographer in the beginning.In 2015，he realized that he needed to find something else.Right around the same time，his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said，“Uncle Mitch，why don’t you bring your camera and shoot some toys？”
Once he tried it out，he got hooked immediately.His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures，and from the very first click of the shutter(快门)，he found it was something incredible.
What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel.It’s yet another story that motivates us to pursue our dreams because you never know where they’ll take you.
It seems the only limits are the ones you create for yourself.Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and learn new techniques in his exciting career path.His story shows that you can create your path in life by following your heart and using your imagination.
24．Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs
A．David Levinthal founded toy photography.
B．Toy photography is by all means a new art form.
C．Mitchel helps promote toy photography around the world.
D．Toy photography was widely recognized more than 200 years ago.
25．What does the underlined word “immersed” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Involved. B．Applied.
C．Located. D．Stuck.
26．What does toy photography mean to Mitchel
A．It brings him a great fortune.
B．It only serves to limit his creativity.
C．It is a way of telling his own stories.
D．It enables him to follow his new passion.
27．What message does Mitchel’s story convey
A．Great hopes make great men.
B．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C．The longest journey begins with the first step.
D．Behind one minute on stage is ten years of practice.
C
Sometime back，after a six-year-old lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle，Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve，far from people.Magigi spent most of her time within the reserved protective boundaries，but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer.New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi’s unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions.For decades，wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock(牲畜)．But the new research shows that after lions are moved，most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers’ living.
Across Africa，lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades，to as few as 23,000 animals today.About 3,000 remain in Botswana.The sharp declines are primarily driven by development—lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat.With less space set aside for conservation，lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans.These are usually farms，expanding around the edges of the protected areas.The lions eat livestock，which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas.Without a proper way to prevent these attacks，the dinners often turn to deadly force，shooting or poisoning the lions，which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.
Rather than trying to move lions，wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says，emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place.Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries，including hiring lion guardians(护卫者) to monitor these big cats，creating lion-proof fences，sending out lion text alerts，and teaching herders to keep livestock away from high-risk areas.
28．Why was Magigi moved to a reserve
A．To stop her from being caught.
B．To prevent her from killing cattle.
C．To get her to stay with her family.
D．To train her to get along with people.
29．What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa
A．Illegal wildlife trade.
B．Human-lion conflict.
C．A natural disaster.
D．The lack of food in their habitat.
30．What can we infer from Maude’s words in the last paragraph
A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.
B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.
C．Prevention is the cure for lions’ attacking livestock.
D．It’s impossible for lions to live in harmony with humans.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Big Cats’ Relocation Proving Deadly
B．Lions Shot Dead After Attacking a Man
C．The Tragic Story of a Magical Lioness
D．Conservation Status of the African Lion
D
Even when communing with nature we depend on technology for help—but then，so did Thoreau(梭罗) at Walden Pond(瓦尔登湖)．
Walking in the same woods yesterday，I let myself wander at random，communing with nature.
I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses.Occasionally I’d pull out my smartphone to take pictures on anything interesting.I recorded an inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest.At times，I consulted my smart watch to check on my heartbeat，mileage and calorie burn.Eventually I realized I was quite lost.Not a problem of course.Online maps came to my rescue.
But something bothered me.In what I’d intended as a nature experience，here I was using very high technology to help myself out.This insight triggered a reconsideration of everything that happened during my “nature walk”，which had been technologically enhanced every step of the way.I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination：a cyborg.
What would the true naturalist Thoreau think of that？My first thought was that he’d be shocked.But later I did some research.Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered，like this eagle from his journal：
Lying on the ground with my glass，I could watch him very easily...till I almost lost him in the clouds...I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-headed eagle.
Famously，Thoreau always set out equipped with a walking stick，which he used not only for support but also to take measurements of water and snow levels.His hat was also a tool，which he called his “botany-box”．And he was prepared even with needles and thread，so when coming out of the woods，he was “the best dressed”．Clearly，Thoreau was a bit of a cyborg himself.
Thinking more deeply，I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer ancestors，who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift.Cyborgs are us.
32．What is the purpose of the text
A．To recommend Thoreau’s book Walden Pond.
B．To argue that humans have developed into cyborgs.
C．To share the reflections on man’s reliance on nature.
D．To question whether people are technology-dependent.
33．Which picture best illustrates a cyborg in the author’s eye
34．Why does the author quote Thoreau’s journal
A．To introduce a literary work on nature.
B．To explain how to prepare for a nature walk.
C．To describe the natural beauty Thoreau enjoyed.
D．To prove that even naturalists use technology.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards being a cyborg
A．Unclear. B．Intolerant.
C．Doubtful. D．Favorable.

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。
Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to 36
FOMO，or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own.It appears as a deep sense of envy，and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊)．
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature，social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. 37 Social media，with its built-in appeal，allows us to share only the best presentations of our life，while leaving out the more boring aspects.Although this could be characterized as dishonest，it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand.So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media
Consider your own social media posts. 38 Well，so have others.And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom，loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life，and you’re not the only one feeling left out.
39 You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks，but you have your health，a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Learn to shake it off.We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections，but really，what does it matter？ 40 And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy，all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A．If so，you are not alone.
B．Value your friends in real life.
C．Learn to appreciate the positives.
D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect
E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life

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。
One day Officer Jackson and Steve were discussing a serious case when they were informed of a disturbance (骚乱) in the nearby subway.So，they walked out of the station and got into their car.
The two officers had expected they’d have to deal with an annoying beggar troubling the passers-by for money.But when they arrived at the crime scene，they were shocked at the beggar’s appearance.The man had tears in his eyes and was sitting on the subway stairs，looking untidy and tired.
“Excuse me，sir，” Officer Jackson said.“You can’t stay here，nor can you bother the people to give you money.You have to leave this place.”
“Look，officers，” the man sighed.“I’m sorry.I didn’t mean to cause any trouble，okay I lost my cane (拐杖)，and I can’t walk without it.I wanted a few cents so I could get myself something to eat.”
The two officers exchanged looks，knowing the man wasn’t a disturbance but someone who really needed their help.So they promised to get him food，buy him a cane，and drop him home.
After doing that，the officers drove to the beggar’s home，only to discover he had no home at all.He was just wandering in the streets and living off the leftovers he managed to find.
The poor man said his name was Eugene.When he was working at a skyscraper construction site，he was injured and became disabled，losing his ability to walk.Unfortunately，his disability forbade him from doing physical labor，and he wasn’t well-educated to find a desk job，so he remained jobless.Because he couldn’t provide for his family，his wife and children left him.“I don’t have any hopes of changing my destiny (命运)，officers，” the man said.
But Officer Jackson wanted Eugene to change his life.“You’re still young，” he said.“You can’t lose hope so soon.”
He brought him something warm to eat，helped him take a shower，and gave him his warm boots.After his work，Officer Jackson drove Eugene to a shelter for the homeless and left.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Since that day，Eugene had never expected to meet the two officers again.
A few months later，Eugene was a changed man.

W：The education system in Australia consists of a total of 12 years.Primary schools and high schools are based on the age of the student, so that every room has the same age group, with a student hardly ever having to repeat a year.The students with problems in their studies may be put into special classes.Most of the children start primary school at the age of 5.Then the student goes for secondary school at the age of 12 or 13.Well, the subject of the education system is too broad.Today I’d like to focus on the school system in Australia.The school system in Australia does depend on whether you go to a private or a public school.In the state, there are a lot of private schools, and generally they’re single-sex high schools.The public high schools are generally mixed.All of the private high schools insist that you wear their school uniforms, and that might mean a school tie and a school jacket.However, the public high schools often give you a choice of whether you want to wear a uniform or not.The school classes generally start anywhere between 8∶30 and 9 o’clock in the morning, and run until 3∶30 in the afternoon, and they’re followed by after-school activities like sports，music and theater.The school year generally starts in the beginning of February, after the summer vacation.The summer vacation lasts about six weeks, and it’s around the Christmas period.

Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography，a relatively new art form.He’s taken photos for an impressive list of clients，including Disney，Marvel，Hot Wheels，and Hasbro.There’s no limit to creativity，and Mitchel proves it through his unique work，providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography dates back to the 1800s，it didn’t gain popularity until the 1970s.Around this time，a man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature(微型画)photography.
Over time，it evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery.It’s a diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas.Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such as Disney movies，Star Wars，and Pokemon characters.With toy photography，the viewers，completely immersed in the story，feel like they’re actually there，in a different land.
“For me，toy photography is really all about storytelling，” Mitchel says.“Storytelling is what makes an image impactful，so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think ‘Wow，what’s going on here？’”
Mitchel was a wedding photographer in the beginning.In 2015，he realized that he needed to find something else.Right around the same time，his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said，“Uncle Mitch，why don’t you bring your camera and shoot some toys？”
Once he tried it out，he got hooked immediately.His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures，and from the very first click of the shutter(快门)，he found it was something incredible.
What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel.It’s yet another story that motivates us to pursue our dreams because you never know where they’ll take you.
It seems the only limits are the ones you create for yourself.Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and learn new techniques in his exciting career path.His story shows that you can create your path in life by following your heart and using your imagination.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mitchel Wu把爱好变成职业，通过使用玩具摄影为全球客户提供了独一无二的体验。

Sometime back，after a six-year-old lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle，Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve，far from people.Magigi spent most of her time within the reserved protective boundaries，but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer.New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi’s unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions.For decades，wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock(牲畜)．But the new research shows that after lions are moved，most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers’ living.
Across Africa，lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades，to as few as 23,000 animals today.About 3,000 remain in Botswana.The sharp declines are primarily driven by development—lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat.With less space set aside for conservation，lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans.These are usually farms，expanding around the edges of the protected areas.The lions eat livestock，which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas.Without a proper way to prevent these attacks，the dinners often turn to deadly force，shooting or poisoning the lions，which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.
Rather than trying to move lions，wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says，emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place.Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries，including hiring lion guardians(护卫者) to monitor these big cats，creating lion-proof fences，sending out lion text alerts，and teaching herders to keep livestock away from high-risk areas.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非洲野生狮子攻击牲畜的情况以及如何有效预防该情况的产生。
28．Why was Magigi moved to a reserve
A．To stop her from being caught.
B．To prevent her from killing cattle.
C．To get her to stay with her family.
D．To train her to get along with people.
答案　B

29．What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa
A．Illegal wildlife trade.
B．Human-lion conflict.
C．A natural disaster.
D．The lack of food in their habitat.

30．What can we infer from Maude’s words in the last paragraph
A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.
B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.
C．Prevention is the cure for lions’ attacking livestock.
D．It’s impossible for lions to live in harmony with humans.
答案　C

Even when communing with nature we depend on technology for help—but then，so did Thoreau(梭罗) at Walden Pond(瓦尔登湖)．
Walking in the same woods yesterday，I let myself wander at random，communing with nature.
I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses.Occasionally I’d pull out my smartphone to take pictures on anything interesting.I recorded an inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest.At times，I consulted my smart watch to check on my heartbeat，mileage and calorie burn.Eventually I realized I was quite lost.Not a problem of course.Online maps came to my rescue.
But something bothered me.In what I’d intended as a nature experience，here I was using very high technology to help myself out.This insight triggered a reconsideration of everything that happened during my “nature walk”，which had been technologically enhanced every step of the way.I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination：a cyborg.
What would the true naturalist Thoreau think of that？My first thought was that he’d be shocked.But later I did some research.Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered，like this eagle from his journal：
Lying on the ground with my glass，I could watch him very easily...till I almost lost him in the clouds...I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-headed eagle.
Famously，Thoreau always set out equipped with a walking stick，which he used not only for support but also to take measurements of water and snow levels.His hat was also a tool，which he called his “botany-box”．And he was prepared even with needles and thread，so when coming out of the woods，he was “the best dressed”．Clearly，Thoreau was a bit of a cyborg himself.
Thinking more deeply，I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer ancestors，who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift.Cyborgs are us.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。作者通过分析我们人类对技术的依赖，并引用自然学家梭罗的事例，说明了我们人类已进化成半机械人。
32．What is the purpose of the text
A．To recommend Thoreau’s book Walden Pond.
B．To argue that humans have developed into cyborgs.
C．To share the reflections on man’s reliance on nature.
D．To question whether people are technology-dependent.
答案　B
解析　写作意图题。根据第一段可知，我们都依赖技术，自然学家梭罗也是如此；再根据最后一段可推知，本文的目的是说明人类已经进化为半机械人。故选B项。
33．Which picture best illustrates a cyborg in the author’s eye
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination：a cyborg.”可知，作者眼中的半机械人应该是人机结合，选项C的图片中即有人又有机器，符合题意。故选C项。
34．Why does the author quote Thoreau’s journal
A．To introduce a literary work on nature.
B．To explain how to prepare for a nature walk.
C．To describe the natural beauty Thoreau enjoyed.
D．To prove that even naturalists use technology.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered，like this eagle from his journal...”可知，梭罗喜欢他的望远镜所发现的东西。根据第六段中的“I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-headed eagle.”可知，自然学家梭罗肯定了望远镜的作用。所以作者引用梭罗的日记是为了证明即使是自然学家也会使用科技。故选D项。
35．What is the author’s attitude towards being a cyborg
A．Unclear. B．Intolerant.
C．Doubtful. D．Favorable.
答案　D
解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，作者对半机械人的态度是赞成的。故选D项。

Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to 36
FOMO，or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own.It appears as a deep sense of envy，and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊)．
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature，social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. 37 Social media，with its built-in appeal，allows us to share only the best presentations of our life，while leaving out the more boring aspects.Although this could be characterized as dishonest，it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand.So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media
Consider your own social media posts. 38 Well，so have others.And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom，loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life，and you’re not the only one feeling left out.
39 You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks，but you have your health，a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Learn to shake it off.We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections，but really，what does it matter？ 40 And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy，all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A．If so，you are not alone.
B．Value your friends in real life.
C．Learn to appreciate the positives.
D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect
E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life
36．答案　A
解析　前句“Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that ... your friends are up to？”提到了一种现象，选项A中的 so 指代上文这个现象，“you are not alone” 引出下文关于“FOMO”的介绍，符合语境。故选A。
37．答案　D
解析　前句“虽然嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性，但社交媒体似乎在火上浇油”提到了社交媒体的影响，选项D “为什么它有这样的刺激作用？”既承接了上文，又引出下文对其原因的介绍。故选D。
38．答案　G
解析　根据前句“Consider your own social media posts.”和后文“Well，so have others.And what they’ve left hidden is...”可知，所有人呈现在社交媒体上的信息一般都是经过选择的，代表生活美好方面的。所以选项G“你有没有选择过一些照片，让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论呢？”符合上下文语境。故选G。
39．答案　C
解析　空处为本段主题句，根据后文“...but you have your health，a place to live and real friends...”可知，本段主要建议要学会欣赏积极的方面。所以选项C“学会欣赏积极的方面”符合语境。故选C。
40．答案　E
解析　根据前句“We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections，but really，what does it matter ”可知，我们不能受社交媒体上的完美照片的影响，因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选项E“它们可能并不比最有趣的电视真人秀更真实”符合语境。故选E。

I remember the first really 46 customer we had at Covent Garden.She was 47 absolutely everything，nothing was right and I was rather surprised that she became a “regular”．After a while，she 48 for the way she behaved at the beginning.She had split up with her husband the week before，was living in a flat by herself，and since she’d found it too much to cope with(应对)，she’d taken it out on other people.
That taught me a valuable 49 and I pass it on to the people who 50 in the market.Don’t take it 51 .If a customer is rude or difficult，just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband.Maybe her child’s not 52 .” Always water it down and don’t let your ego(自我)get 53 .If you do，you won’t be able to 54 it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that 55 everyone’s day.

The two officers had expected they’d have to deal with an annoying beggar troubling the passers-by for money.But when they arrived at the crime scene，they were shocked at the beggar’s appearance.The man had tears in his eyes and was sitting on the subway stairs，looking untidy and tired.
“Excuse me，sir，” Officer Jackson said.“You can’t stay here，nor can you bother the people to give you money.You have to leave this place.”
“Look，officers，” the man sighed.“I’m sorry.I didn’t mean to cause any trouble，okay I lost my cane (拐杖)，and I can’t walk without it.I wanted a few cents so I could get myself something to eat.”
The two officers exchanged looks，knowing the man wasn’t a disturbance but someone who really needed their help.So they promised to get him food，buy him a cane，and drop him home.
After doing that，the officers drove to the beggar’s home，only to discover he had no home at all.He was just wandering in the streets and living off the leftovers he managed to find.
The poor man said his name was Eugene.When he was working at a skyscraper construction site，he was injured and became disabled，losing his ability to walk.Unfortunately，his disability forbade him from doing physical labor，and he wasn’t well-educated to find a desk job，so he remained jobless.Because he couldn’t provide for his family，his wife and children left him.“I don’t have any hopes of changing my destiny (命运)，officers，” the man said.
But Officer Jackson wanted Eugene to change his life.“You’re still young，” he said.“You can’t lose hope so soon.”
He brought him something warm to eat，helped him take a shower，and gave him his warm boots.After his work，Officer Jackson drove Eugene to a shelter for the homeless and left.
