It was so thoughtful.My daughter gave me an address book for my birthday.She knows the one I have is worn.The gift is lovely; the cover is colourful; the pages are creamy white.But I don’t feel free to use this gift; I’m tied to my old book.
My address book tells stories，not only my own but also my friends’．My friends came and went.Some friends married each other and I combined them with lines.Children’s names were added one by one above their parents’．Some got their own addresses as they moved out.I turn the page and see the addresses of a dead friend.I never cross them out.I want their names there.I don’t want to forget.
This book has my family stories, especially the addresses of my loved ones who’ve died.I can picture their houses in detail—the feel of the crocheted doilies on Grandma’s coffee table, the cupboard under Uncle Ed’s staircase(perfect for hiding from the other cousins), the clean smell of Aunt Lily’s living room.
Maybe it’s time for being smart and stylish.I can keep this old one in the attic, after all.
“Don’t you have all that on your phone？” my daughter asked me once when she saw me thumbing through my address book.And yes, I do have some of the contact information there, too.I admit, having it on a device is super handy.My daughter’s generation doesn’t use address books.But changing addresses on a phone is so permanent; the old address is wiped out without a trace.You don’t see the person any more Press delete.It’s like they were never there.
The old address book sits on top of the new one, for now.But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities, leaving space for friends who I don’t know yet.I’ll get to it.It’s just a matter of time.

“Mona Lisa’s” famous smile is routinely described as ambiguous.But is it really that hard to read？Apparently not.In an unusual trial，close to 100 percent of people described her expression as “happy”．
The “Mona Lisa” is often held up as a symbol of emotional mystery.Kornmeier，the German scientist，and a team used it in a study of factors that influence how humans judge visual clues such as facial expressions.Using a copy of the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci，the team moved the model’s mouth corners slightly up and down to create eight altered images.They created four “happier” and four “sadder” “Mona Lisas”．
A block of nine images were shown to 12 trial participants 30 times.In every showing the pictures were randomly rearranged.Then participants had to describe each of the nine images as happy or sad.
“Given the descriptions from art and art history，we thought that the original would be the most ambiguous，”Kornmeier said.Instead，“we found that Da Vinci’s original was perceived as happy in 97 percent of cases.”
The second experiment involved the original “Mona Lisa” with eight “sadder” versions.These were given even more subtle(微妙的) differences in the lip tilt(倾斜)．In this test，the original was still described as happy.However，participants’ reading of the other images changed.“They were perceived a little sadder than in the first experiment，” said Kornmeier.
The findings confirm that “we don’t have an absolute fixed scale of happiness and sadness in our brain”—and that a lot depends on context，the researcher explained.Understanding this process may be useful in the study of psychiatric(精神病的) disorders.As for the masterpiece itself，the team believe their work has finally settled a centuries-old question.
28．What does the underlined word “ambiguous” mean in the first paragraph
A．Strange. B．Happy.
C．Sad. D．Unclear.
29．What is the purpose of the study led by Kornmeier
A．To create copies of altered images.
B．To answer a centuries-old question.
C．To analyze what affect humans’ visual judgement.
D．To describe the ambiguous smile of the masterpiece.
30．What can we learn from the first experiment
A．The experiment was randomly arranged.
B．The result proved the original assumption.
C．The copies differed in “Mona Lisa’s” mouth corner.
D．Altogether 30 different images were shown to the participants.
31．What will Kornmeier agree according to the findings
A．Humans’ visual judgement will change with context.
B．Humans are better at recognizing happiness than sadness.
C．“Mona Lisa’s” smile is related with psychiatric disorders.
D．The study result can be used to treat patients with mental disorders.

Aussie Ark is an animal preservation project based near the Barrington Tops of New South Wales, Australia.Originally known as Devil Ark, its original goal was to only breed(培育) and preserve Tasmanian devils(袋獾)．
About the size of a big domestic cat, the Tasmanian devil is the world’s largest living marsupial carnivore(有袋食肉动物)．Its bigger cousin, the Tasmanian tiger, died out in 1936.Devil numbers were stable until 1996, when a strange disease suddenly began destroying devil populations across Tasmania.Devil facial tumour disease(DFTD), within a few months, is an infectious cancer spread by bites during fights over food and mates.There’s still no cure despite a quarter-century of dedicated research, and devils have suffered an 80－90 per cent decline.A second type of DFTD, just as deadly, was identified in 2014.
After the devil was declared endangered in 2008, increased effort went into establishing isolated DFTD-free insurance populations.Tasmania’s offshore Maria Island supports a small introduced group of healthy devils, and the Forestier-Tasman Peninsula has the only disease-free population in its native range, but Aussie Ark has more devils than both the above two and is the biggest and wildest mainland breeding facility.As an innovative and wildly successful conservation project, Aussie Ark has spent the last decade creating a healthy mainland population of the endangered Tasmanian devils, mainly by letting them act naturally in a large-scale bush shelter.A big part of its success is the suitability of its landscape.The Ark’s cool-climate, high-altitude(1,300 m)snow-gum forest has proved very devil-friendly.Launched in 2011 with 44 DFTD-free devils, Aussie Ark has bred more than 350 devil babies now, a record outside Tasmania, and holds over half the devils in mainland Australia.
32．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To introduce the disease DFTD.
B．To predict the extinction of devils.
C．To stress the importance of wildlife protection.
D．To explain the reason for devils being endangered.
33．How will a devil get DFTD
A．If it lives in groups.
B．If it fights with its mate.
C．If it is bitten by an infected one.
D．If it shares food with other devils.
34．What’s the main reason for Aussie Ark’s success
A．It covers the largest area.
B．It lasts a long period of time.
C．It has disease-free devil babies.
D．It provides massive natural habitats.
35．Which may be a suitable title for the text
A．Devils Reappear in Mainland
B．A Successful Project for Devils
C．Devils Are in Danger
D．The Secret of Aussie Ark

“Never give up! Never give up！” chanted(吟唱) my two young children, Max and Charley, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi.My mom Mimi was leading Max and Charley on another adventure，straight off the beach where they’d spent the day building sand castles and playing in the waves.This time, they were seeking an ice-cream truck.
Over the years, Mimi had become our family’s tower of positivity.It wasn’t a title she earned without effort, however.Having been a single mother at only forty years old and left to raise me and my ten-year-old brother alone, she faced countless challenges.She had been the one who had to make the decision to remove our dad from life support fourteen days after he was in a car accident.
My mom could have lived under a black cloud.Instead, she challenged herself to find joy every day.She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the high mountaintop in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking beauty or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty.Leading by example, Mom taught us just how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude.
She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren.Before starting her adventure with Max and Charley on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the familiar clang(叮当声) of the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair.She turned and saw him briefly，spotting his shining green shirt and catching the gleam(闪光) of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared.Happily, the ice-cream man’s visit was a daily occurrence on the beach, although the time between the sound of his bell and the departure of his truck wasn’t long.One must be quick to catch him.
Max and Charley were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day.Mimi smiled and said, “Never give up！” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry off to find it at its next stop.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
They walked block after block.
Another two blocks later, they finally found the ice-cream truck！

It was so thoughtful.My daughter gave me an address book for my birthday.She knows the one I have is worn.The gift is lovely; the cover is colourful; the pages are creamy white.But I don’t feel free to use this gift; I’m tied to my old book.
My address book tells stories，not only my own but also my friends’．My friends came and went.Some friends married each other and I combined them with lines.Children’s names were added one by one above their parents’．Some got their own addresses as they moved out.I turn the page and see the addresses of a dead friend.I never cross them out.I want their names there.I don’t want to forget.
This book has my family stories, especially the addresses of my loved ones who’ve died.I can picture their houses in detail—the feel of the crocheted doilies on Grandma’s coffee table, the cupboard under Uncle Ed’s staircase(perfect for hiding from the other cousins), the clean smell of Aunt Lily’s living room.
Maybe it’s time for being smart and stylish.I can keep this old one in the attic, after all.
“Don’t you have all that on your phone？” my daughter asked me once when she saw me thumbing through my address book.And yes, I do have some of the contact information there, too.I admit, having it on a device is super handy.My daughter’s generation doesn’t use address books.But changing addresses on a phone is so permanent; the old address is wiped out without a trace.You don’t see the person any more Press delete.It’s like they were never there.
The old address book sits on top of the new one, for now.But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities, leaving space for friends who I don’t know yet.I’ll get to it.It’s just a matter of time.

“Mona Lisa’s” famous smile is routinely described as ambiguous.But is it really that hard to read？Apparently not.In an unusual trial，close to 100 percent of people described her expression as “happy”．
The “Mona Lisa” is often held up as a symbol of emotional mystery.Kornmeier，the German scientist，and a team used it in a study of factors that influence how humans judge visual clues such as facial expressions.Using a copy of the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci，the team moved the model’s mouth corners slightly up and down to create eight altered images.They created four “happier” and four “sadder” “Mona Lisas”．
A block of nine images were shown to 12 trial participants 30 times.In every showing the pictures were randomly rearranged.Then participants had to describe each of the nine images as happy or sad.
“Given the descriptions from art and art history，we thought that the original would be the most ambiguous，”Kornmeier said.Instead，“we found that Da Vinci’s original was perceived as happy in 97 percent of cases.”
The second experiment involved the original “Mona Lisa” with eight “sadder” versions.These were given even more subtle(微妙的) differences in the lip tilt(倾斜)．In this test，the original was still described as happy.However，participants’ reading of the other images changed.“They were perceived a little sadder than in the first experiment，” said Kornmeier.
The findings confirm that “we don’t have an absolute fixed scale of happiness and sadness in our brain”—and that a lot depends on context，the researcher explained.Understanding this process may be useful in the study of psychiatric(精神病的) disorders.As for the masterpiece itself，the team believe their work has finally settled a centuries-old question.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是德国科学家Kornmeier和他的团队用《蒙娜丽莎》来研究影响人类如何判断面部表情等视觉线索的因素。
28．What does the underlined word “ambiguous” mean in the first paragraph
A．Strange. B．Happy.
C．Sad. D．Unclear.
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段画线词后文“But is it really that hard to read？”可知，很多人觉得蒙娜丽莎的微笑是难解读的，也就是搞不清楚蒙娜丽莎的微笑，因此画线词ambiguous的意思是“不明朗的”，和unclear意思相近，故选D。
29．What is the purpose of the study led by Kornmeier
A．To create copies of altered images.
B．To answer a centuries-old question.
C．To analyze what affect humans’ visual judgement.
D．To describe the ambiguous smile of the masterpiece.

B．The result proved the original assumption.
C．The copies differed in “Mona Lisa’s” mouth corner.
D．Altogether 30 different images were shown to the participants.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Using a copy of the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci，the team moved the model’s mouth corners slightly up and down to create eight altered images.They created four ‘happier’ and four ‘sadder’‘Mona Lisas’．”可知，我们能从第一个实验中了解到复制品的不同之处在于蒙娜丽莎的嘴角。故选C。

Aussie Ark is an animal preservation project based near the Barrington Tops of New South Wales, Australia.Originally known as Devil Ark, its original goal was to only breed(培育) and preserve Tasmanian devils(袋獾)．
About the size of a big domestic cat, the Tasmanian devil is the world’s largest living marsupial carnivore(有袋食肉动物)．Its bigger cousin, the Tasmanian tiger, died out in 1936.Devil numbers were stable until 1996, when a strange disease suddenly began destroying devil populations across Tasmania.Devil facial tumour disease(DFTD), within a few months, is an infectious cancer spread by bites during fights over food and mates.There’s still no cure despite a quarter-century of dedicated research, and devils have suffered an 80－90 per cent decline.A second type of DFTD, just as deadly, was identified in 2014.
After the devil was declared endangered in 2008, increased effort went into establishing isolated DFTD-free insurance populations.Tasmania’s offshore Maria Island supports a small introduced group of healthy devils, and the Forestier-Tasman Peninsula has the only disease-free population in its native range, but Aussie Ark has more devils than both the above two and is the biggest and wildest mainland breeding facility.As an innovative and wildly successful conservation project, Aussie Ark has spent the last decade creating a healthy mainland population of the endangered Tasmanian devils, mainly by letting them act naturally in a large-scale bush shelter.A big part of its success is the suitability of its landscape.The Ark’s cool-climate, high-altitude(1,300 m)snow-gum forest has proved very devil-friendly.Launched in 2011 with 44 DFTD-free devils, Aussie Ark has bred more than 350 devil babies now, a record outside Tasmania, and holds over half the devils in mainland Australia.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了袋獾受到DFTD这种传染性疾病的威胁，数量骤减，成为濒危物种，很多公益机构都做出努力去挽救，其中Aussie Ark项目最有成效。
32．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To introduce the disease DFTD.
B．To predict the extinction of devils.
C．To stress the importance of wildlife protection.
D．To explain the reason for devils being endangered.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Devil numbers were stable until 1996, when a strange disease suddenly began destroying devil populations across Tasmania.Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD)．..decline.”可知，本段的目的是说明DFTD这种疾病使得袋獾数量骤减，以至濒危。故选D。
33．How will a devil get DFTD
A．If it lives in groups.
B．If it fights with its mate.
C．If it is bitten by an infected one.
D．If it shares food with other devils.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD), within a few months, is an infectious cancer spread by bites during fights over food and mates.”可知，该病通过咬伤传播。因此如果一只袋獾被感染该病的袋獾咬伤，会感染上DFTD。故选C。
34．What’s the main reason for Aussie Ark’s success
A．It covers the largest area.
B．It lasts a long period of time.
C．It has disease-free devil babies.
D．It provides massive natural habitats.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As an innovative and wildly successful conservation project, Aussie Ark has spent the last decade creating a healthy mainland population of the endangered Tasmanian devils, mainly by letting them act naturally in a large-scale bush shelter.”可知，Aussie Ark的成功主要源于让袋獾在大范围的矮灌木丛林自然地活动。故选D。
35．Which may be a suitable title for the text
A．Devils Reappear in Mainland
B．A Successful Project for Devils
C．Devils Are in Danger
D．The Secret of Aussie Ark
答案　B
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，这篇文章主要介绍了动物保护项目Aussie Ark为挽救濒危的袋獾做出了很多努力，并取得了不错的成效。故选B。

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。
“Never give up! Never give up！” chanted(吟唱) my two young children, Max and Charley, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi.My mom Mimi was leading Max and Charley on another adventure，straight off the beach where they’d spent the day building sand castles and playing in the waves.This time, they were seeking an ice-cream truck.
Over the years, Mimi had become our family’s tower of positivity.It wasn’t a title she earned without effort, however.Having been a single mother at only forty years old and left to raise me and my ten-year-old brother alone, she faced countless challenges.She had been the one who had to make the decision to remove our dad from life support fourteen days after he was in a car accident.
My mom could have lived under a black cloud.Instead, she challenged herself to find joy every day.She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the high mountaintop in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking beauty or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty.Leading by example, Mom taught us just how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude.
She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren.Before starting her adventure with Max and Charley on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the familiar clang(叮当声) of the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair.She turned and saw him briefly，spotting his shining green shirt and catching the gleam(闪光) of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared.Happily, the ice-cream man’s visit was a daily occurrence on the beach, although the time between the sound of his bell and the departure of his truck wasn’t long.One must be quick to catch him.
Max and Charley were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day.Mimi smiled and said, “Never give up！” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry off to find it at its next stop.

They walked block after block.
Another two blocks later, they finally found the ice-cream truck！
参考范文
They walked block after block.Not knowing which direction the truck had taken, they had to make their best guess about where to search.The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on, continuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up！” After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun.Mimi bent over and patted him gently on the shoulder.Smiling, she comforted the boy, “Max, remember: winners never quit, and quitters never win.”“Yeah! Never give up！” Charley agreed.Max looked up, thought for a while and jumped to his feet. “You are right. Let’s hurry！” And so they marched on.
Another two blocks later, they finally found the ice-cream truck！The ice-cream truck was parked just around the corner, shining brilliantly in the sunlight, as if waiting to reward the three adventurers with a most generous treat for their patience and determination. “Finally！” Max cried at this sight, throwing a fist in the air, while Charley screamed with excitement.They laughed, cheered, and chanted in chorus, “Never give up！”
