We don’t see many 17-year-olds who can list as many accomplishments as EduardoCaiado. Edu, as he likes to be called, lives in Andolils, Brazil. He’s always been driven to help others. In fact, when he was just 15, he was named one of the 50 Young Inspirers of the United Nations for his project on reusing rainwater to provide drinking water in a village. He also bought gifts for 52 people living in a local nursing home, using his own money.
These are all totally natural for Edu, who said he’s been actively trying to help others for most of his life. But right now he centers on saving stray animals. Since he was 9, he’s dreamed of the day he could open a shelter for the many forgotten pets he’s seen. Less than ten years later, he made that dream a reality by starting the EduPacoca Institutel “The place where I live is cold, and many stray dogs were dying of extreme cold,” he said.
The EduPacoca Institute depends on donations to help these animals in need. First, Edu rented a house; now, he’s using the money to cover food and their expenses. “I want these animals to know that even if they don’t have owners, they will be with me until they grow old and die,” he said.
After years of feeding animals on the streets, Edu understands that while they’re not human, animals have feelings of their own. Each has their own habits, personality, and preferences, and Edu loves getting to know them. He’s already given about 30 dogs and cats a home, and the number keeps growing every day! His main regret is that he doesn’t have enough room or money to take in every stray animal.
“The Institute is a dream, but at the same time a great challenge,” he said. “But it has been so good to sleep every day knowing that everyone is warm and safe.”
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By listing one’s amazing achievements. B. By making some survey.
C. By providing one’s family background. D. By putting forward a concept.
5. What inspired Edu to start the EduPacoca Institute
A. The desire for fame. B. His inner quality.
C. His skill with animals. D. The experience in childhood.
6. What is the biggest trouble to Edu
A. Poor physical conditions. B. Much pressure from his family.
C. Lack of enough support. D. Too much time to put into.
7. What can we learn from the story
A. He who laughs last laughs best. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. Nothing is impossible to a kind heart.
C
We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true
According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water. As is mentioned in Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste.
“But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.”
People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water.With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be full of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA．
8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. introduce a topic B. draw a conclusion
C. show an example D. analyze a phenomenon
9. Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree
A. Covered water can last for a thousand years.
B. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it.
C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter.
D. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
10. Why do water microorganisms increase in number
A. Because the water is stored in clean containers.
B. Because of the surrounding temperature and sunlight.
C. Because the water contains a lot of organic matter.
D. Because chlorine in the water fails to kill bacteria.
11. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Why Water Is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water
C. Does Water Really Go Bad D. Learn to Protect Water
D
We live in an age filled with massive information, in which it seems strange that people often make an effort to avoid learning certain things. Whether it is missing a necessary follow-up medical checkup or choosing not to read upsetting news reports, we have a term for this behavior: the “Ostrich Effect”, just like the animal hiding its head in the sand. Researchers wanted to find out when and why this phenomenon takes place.
In one experiment, kids between the ages of 5 and 10 were asked to picture their most-liked and least-liked sweets. They then faced a choice: Would they be willing to watch a video explaining why eating those sweets was harmful to their teeth Five- and six-year-olds were eager to know the truth — whether the information was good or bad, it was simply interesting to them. Older kids, however, showed hesitation. They were far less willing to learn about the disadvantages of their favorite snacks.
Why do children change from brave learners to intentional information avoiders The answer is connected with emotions. Information is never fully neutral — it often influences how we feel. News related to our health, abilities or beliefs can cause feelings of disappointment, worry or embarrassment. By staying away from certain knowledge, people protect themselves, at least temporarily, from unpleasant emotions.
Avoiding uncomfortable feelings can be protective in the short run, but when avoidance becomes a habit, the disadvantages may be greater than the advantages. On a personal level, refusing to accept important health information may put one’s well-being at risk. On a social level, such avoidance may entrench political divisions (分歧) and fixed opinions. When people purposely ignore opinions that go against their own ideas, they miss chances to grow, understand others and build connections.
At its heart, the Ostrich Effect shows a very human condition. We are naturally curious, but we are also emotionally weak. We want to understand the world, but we are afraid of what understanding may bring. This inner conflict influences our choices every single day. That is why researchers emphasize the importance of teaching children not only to welcome curiosity, but also to build mental resilience (韧性), which help them seize the chance to learn, adjust and achieve success.
12. Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”
A. A girl actively asks teachers for advice on studying.
B. A programmer buries himself in daily work and data analysis.
C. A student refuses to take part in outdoor activities.
D. A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills.
13. Why does the “Ostrich Effect”occur
A. It helps people stay focused.
B. It keeps us from feeling bad.
C. It makes people think more independently.
D. It improves problem-solving skills.
14. What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean
A. expose B. remove
C. deepen D. transform
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. Young kids tend to avoid unpleasant information to protect their feelings.
B. The Ostrich Effect does more good than harm to people’s long-term well-being.
C. Building mental resilience helps people fight against the Ostrich Effect.
D. People with fixed opinions never care about others’ opposite ideas.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see ____16____ Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste. ____17____
“Representations of the past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany. ____18____ She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of the Afterlife, a mix of scent that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt.
“____19____ One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says Huber. Luckily, new chemical and biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things.
“These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. ____20____” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it must have smelled in a mummification room in ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.”
A. It can also enrich our understanding of smells.
B. However, more often than not, smell is missing.
C. Smell has long been ignored in studying the past.
D. Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.
E. And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object.
F. This “aha moment” changed her attitude towards the research.
G. The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.

Sure enough, every time we had dim sum at local teahouses, my immigrant (移民的) mother came alive. Usually shy with her broken English, here she told jokes, ____24____ and natural. For my mom, going out for dim sum was more than just a meal — it made her feel at home.
After my parents moved back to Hong Kong, dim sum always ____25____me to contact my mom. Most days in Canada, I ____26____the dim sum in an inviting way on my plate and shared pictures of it with her. In response, she sent back hers. This kept our ____27____ going. Despite our differences in our realities — mine, as I sought my ____28____ between my life here and my roots there, and hers, as she tried to regain a sense of ____29____ to a home she had left decades ago ——____30____dim sum photos gradually became our ____31____ language.
We ____32____, still. Our feelings are often lost in translation. There may never be the right ____33____ but always the right food. Whenever we meet, we always ____34____ each other’s plates with dim sum, which look like mountains of affection.
