A faithful dog survived for over 10 weeks after her owner died unexpectedly while hiking in the Colorado Mountains. Up to now she has regained most of her weight lost during the suffering and is back on the hiking footpaths as usual.
Rich Moore,71, of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, set out with his Jack Russell terrier (小猎狗) named Finney to climb Blackhead Peak on Aug.19, but didn’t return home. A days- long search between the peak and his vehicle was unsuccessful. The searchers were about to give up when a hunter found Rich’s body and Finney accompanying his owner in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado on October 30. Finney had lost about half her body weight and her ribs (肋骨) were visible.
Three weeks later, “Finney is doing well,” said Moore’s wife, Dana Holby. “She has gained almost all of her weight back and her strength is almost where it was. She is a magical dog.” She does have an injury on her nose that might leave a scar. Holby added that Finney is now 3, very clingy, and will not let me out of her sight. Her great appetite has calmed down, but at first, she could not get enough to eat and wanted food at all times of the day and night.
Finney’s survival story has made her famous on the hiking footpaths around Pagosa Springs.

Social comparison is a normal behavior strategy where we seek to better understand our status relating to ability, opinion, emotional reaction, and more, by comparing ourselves to other people. Social comparison can be useful because it provides us with a way to determine if we are on track. However, it can also be extremely harmful and result in negative thoughts and behaviors. If we compare our behavior to an unrealistic role model, subsequently we may develop low self-respect.
Social media platforms are good examples of modern-day opportunities for social comparison. We can browse our friends’ photographs, read updates about their lives, and learn about big and special events on them, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Social media posts, however, are unavoidable. So we are often engaging in upward social comparisons. There is some evidence that increased use of social media is associated with more negative feelings. One explanation is that we engage in more upward social comparisons on social media than we would in real life, which results in feelings of self-denial and envy.
Some evidence exists that the use of social media results in lower self-respect. That is to say, the use leads to depression. The relationship between upward social comparison on social media and depression is complicated. The presence of optimism further mediates (调解) this relationship.
For participants with low optimism, the negative effects of upward social comparison were more obvious. Participants with high optimism experienced a weaker relationship between using social media and depression. Optimism freed them from the harmful effects of upward social comparison on social media.
28．What is the primary purpose of social comparison
A．To imitate unrealistic role models.
B．To increase social media engagement.
C．To develop feelings of self-denial and envy.
D．To evaluate a person’s status in ability, opinion or emotions.
29．What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning social media platforms in paragraph 2
A．The importance of social comparison. B．The danger in overusing social media.
C．The complication of social media posts. D．The benefits of accessing social media sites.
30．According to the text, why is social comparison sometimes harmful
A．It may low social status. B．It may lead to low self-respect.
C．It may create unrealistic behaviors. D．It may reduce time spent on social media.
31．What did researchers find about participants with high optimism
A．They took an active part in social activities with friends.
B．They experienced weaker negative effects from social media.
C．They showed stronger links between social media and depression.
D．They engaged in more upward social comparison on social media.
Scientists have long been sounding the alarm about an approaching disaster of ocean overfishing — the harvesting of wildlife from the sea at rates too high for species to replace themselves. Scientists know when widespread overfishing of the seas began. And they have a pretty good idea when, if left unaddressed, it will end badly.
Faced with the collapse of large-fish populations, commercial ships began traveling deeper in the ocean and farther down the food chain for practicable catches. This so-called “fishing down” has encouraged a chain reaction that is upsetting the ancient and delicate balance of the sea’s biologic system. coral reefs, for example, are particularly sensitive to overfishing. Fishing out too many herbivores (食草动物) — whether intentionally or as bycatch (误捕) — can weaken reefs and make them more sensitive to being destroyed by extreme weather events and climate change. Fishing equipment can also physically destroy the delicate corals that make up the reef foundations. Overfishing can also harm other species. Dolphins, sea birds, sharks, and other animals have all faced existential threats as bycatch.
Over the years, humans have begun to understand that the oceans, thought to be unendingly vast and rich, are in fact highly delicate. Many scientists say most fish populations could be restored with forceful management and better application of laws governing catches, including establishing catch limits. An increased use of aquaculture (水产业), the farming of seafood, would also help. And in many regions, there is reason for hope.
32．What do we know about “fishing down”
A．It makes a lot of profit.
B．It causes extreme climate change.
C．It makes coral reefs more sensitive.
D．It increases bycatch to balance the sea’s ecosystem.
33．How does overfishing harm species like dolphins and sharks
A．Accidental capture as bycatch. B．Competition with herbivores for food.
C．Direct hunting for commercial purpose. D．destruction of their living environment.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．There are solutions and hope for recovery.
B．The damage caused by overfishing affects our life.
C．People’s awareness of ocean protection needs raising.
D．Governments have taken forceful measures to manage overfishing.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Who to Blame B．Where to Catch
C．Why the Overfishing D．What disaster
Your final exams are the last box to check before you head home for a well-deserved winter or winter break. But after a long semester, it can be difficult to stay focused. 36
Set a schedule.
Working hard throughout the semester will help you prepare for your final exams, but setting up a study schedule for your last few weeks can ensure you give yourself enough time to review your notes and relearn more difficult concepts. And it also allows you time to reach out to your teachers with any questions. 37
38
When you’re focused on school work, make sure you still have healthy eating and sleeping habits. Fast food leads to tiredness, which won’t help you stay focused for an evening of studying. Instead fill up with healthy foods like lean proteins, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. They will keep you full and focused. Set a bed time. 39 Finally, Make time for exercise, which increases energy, enhances your mood and improves your memory.
Create a study environment.
Create an environment that will help you learn. 40 A study at the University of Southern California found that students who listen to classical music while studying had less anxiety and were more receptive to information than students who studied in silence.
It may seem like your to-do list at the end of the semester is long, but these simple tips can help you get ahead of a hectic (忙碌的) exam week.
A．Have a balanced diet.
B．Take good care of yourself.
C．Silence your phone and turn on classical music.
D．As a result, you will be very successful in your work.
E．As some teachers are better about communicating than others.
F．However, using these tips can set yourself up for your final exams.
G．Good sleep makes you more creative and helps you remember more.

六、书面表达
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。
Sam, a young violinist, was a poor college student. Determined to pursue his education, he refused to give up. On a chilly Friday evening, Sam was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. The sound of a violin echoed through the bustling subway station. The music was so wonderful that people slowed down to listen and put some money into his hat. Sam was playing the violin with excitement, because he could go Vienna to further study the next morning. His music was not just a performance — it was his lifeline. Every evening after classes, Sam would rush to the subway station, unpack his violin, and play until his fingers ached. The passers-by, enchanted (陶醉) by his melodies, often dropped coins into his hat. Some even stayed to listen, forgetting their hurry.
George was an office worker. As he walked home from work, he checked his lottery ticket (彩票) — his heart nearly stopped when he realized he’d won $5,000. Overjoyed, he carefully signed his name on the lottery ticket and put it into his wallet, dreaming of how he’d get the money the next morning. George whistled cheerfully as he headed to the subway to his home. Near the station entrance, a beautiful violin melody stopped him in his tracks. It was Sam, the young violinist, pouring his soul into the music. George stood still, listening to the music carefully. When the last note faded, George blinked back tears and took a $50 bill from his wallet and dropped it into Sam’s hat without hesitation.
Cold and hungry, Sam went back to his room. As Sam gathered the coins from his hat that evening, he found a piece of paper — a lottery ticket with the name “George” on it. He checked the numbers online and was amazed. It was a winning ticket worth $5,000.
Sam’s heart raced. He could finally pay his tuition (学费), but he would lose his honesty. The ticket wasn’t his, and the real winner — George — had clearly lost it. Remembering the cheerful man who’d given him $50 just now, Sam made a decision.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
George took it and danced happily.

67．The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again. He held the lottery ticket tightly, scanning the crowd anxiously. Just as he was about to lose hope, he spotted George hurrying over, looking upset. “Mr. George ” Sam called out. George turned, surprised.
