Sunshine on a rainy day
Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and sad. My focus was on me, me ,me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials as I was.
I expressed my downcast state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, “I hear that Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and we’ll take them to her this afternoon ” I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a note of empathy.
That afternoon we dropped in my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie’s face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe. “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.”
24．Why did the writer feel discouraged
A．Because everything she did went wrong. B．Because she had quarreled with her friends.
C．Because she always focused on herself. D．Because she had some trials.
25．What was the mother’s react when the writer went to her for help
A．She showed great pity. B．She didn’t care at all.
C．She laughed about it. D．She made a good suggestion.
26．Which of the following has the closest meaning of the underlined word “empathy”
A．Message B．Thanks C．Comfort D．Visit
27．Where do you think the “small act” as the writer said come from
A．Hardship. B．Care of others. C．Cruelty D．Worries from others.
C
Have you ever noticed your dog taking a sunbath You may think your dog is taking a nap(打盹) or relaxing when you see them in the sun. However, there is more to it than we can see.
Dogs are generations of wolves, which are extremely social animals. They express their love for one another by lying in the sun. Dogs follow their examples to stay warm in cold weather and cool down when it’s too hot to go outside. A dog’s body temperature stays at around 101 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the day. Their paws(爪子) allow them to sense heat and cold, so lying in the sun helps them keep their body temperature.
From the outside, it appears as though dogs are having a great time when they are taking a sunbath! However, dogs may get sunburned or develop skin problem if they are exposed to too much UV radiation(紫外线). What’s going on here Why do some dogs lie in the sun for hours at a time There are several reasons why your dog might be doing so, and all of them are related to his body’s sense to UV radiation.
The most obvious reason why dogs lie in the sun is that it feels nice. Dogs have a human-like response to UV rays, which means they feel warm when they are taking a sunbath. Your dog’s coat health is kept up by sunlight. You may have noticed that when you take your dog out on sunny days, their coats seem shinier and cleaner than they did when they were indoors all day. The skin under their coat stays healthy thanks to sunlight, which then keeps the coat healthier.
There are many reasons why dogs enjoy sunbathing. It is a fantastic way for them to relax and have fun. They like the heat; they enjoy it, or they want something soft against their backs such as grass when they lie outside. When outdoors during the day, they feel safer being close to you.
28．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A．Wolves are lonely animals. B．Dogs can’t sense heat and cold.
C．Dogs like taking a nap under the tree. D．Dogs are closely related to wolves in some way.
29．Why do dogs like sunbathing
A．To lie on something soft. B．To get close to their owners.
C．To keep their body temperature. D．To express their love for wolves.
30．What does the underlined phrase “are exposed to” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Avoid. B．Receive. C．Cover. D．Collect.
31．What is the text mainly about
A．The reasons why dogs like sunbathing. B．The relationship between dogs and wolves.
C．The way dogs keep their body temperature. D．The way dogs keep their skin clean and healthy.
D
Hundreds of people die at sea every year due to ship and airplane accidents. Emergency teams have little time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a person alive fall dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult.
New insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical systems theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications.
In today’s rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecasting are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such predictions are often inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing a loss of precious time.
Haller’s research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the ocean’s surface should gather along a few special curves (曲线) which they call TRansient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves can’t be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident.
In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new, TRAP-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from the same real-time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this was the only algorithm that consistently found the right location,” says Haller.
“Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret and cheap to perform,” points out Serra. Haller stresses: “Our hope is that this method will become a standard part of the tool kit of coast guards everywhere.”
32．In a search and rescue operation, .
A．the survival rate drops to almost zero after six hours
B．the use of dynamics leads to the wrong location
C．weather conditions are a determining factor
D．changing currents present a challenge
33．What is the distinct feature of the new algorithm
A．It relies on ocean dynamics.
B．It tracks the path of the curves.
C．It stops the uncertainties of the accident.
D．It figures out how tides change over time.
34．Paragraph 5 mainly talks about .
A．the collection of data B．the testing of the algorithm
C．the identification of the TRAPs D．the cooperation of two research teams
35．What is the best title for the passage
A．Why Success Rates of Rescue Operations have Fallen
B．Why Algorithms are Popular in Rescue Operations
C．How Mathematics Can Save Lives at Sea
D．How Coastal Waters Affect Saving Lives

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。
Thirty years ago, Cayley was greatly surprised to find that she had a brother. She made up her mind to find him. Since then she refused to leave the home she grew up in, hoping that her brother would knock on the door one day. Little did Cayley know that her brother, Nick Rhoades, had been longing to do so, but only to walk away at the last minute. But thanks to the TV programme Long Lost Family, the pair have enjoyed an emotional reunion.
Cayley’s mum Jacqueline left the family when her daughter was only seven to start a new life in America. Cayley was brought up by her grandmother Victoria, who died in 2001, and she clearly remembered first finding out about her brother Nick. Cayley was quite angry with the fact that was covered up. So she was determined to find her brother no matter what difficulties she would meet with.
Many years later, Cayley, her husband, Colin, and their children were still staying in the house where she grew up because she always had hope that one day her brother would knock on the door. Her husband Colin was very understanding and even though they had two other houses to move to, they stayed in the same house. She never gave up hope.
Meanwhile, when Nick knew he was adopted, he did ask his parents questions and they told him everything they knew. His adoptive parents were so loving and his mum had adopted hundreds of children. Nick had been one of those lucky kids. He had lived a really very happy childhood. Sadly, when Nick was 18 his adoptive mum died of cancer. After several years, his adoptive father also died. Nick was extremely sad during that period of time. Once again, he became a poor orphan without parents, which led him to make the decision to find his birth mum Jacqueline.
Nick had been given his birth certificate (出生证) by his adoptive parents with an address on it.
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。
Nick and his wife Sandra decided to find his mother’s house.

Thankfully, Nick’s sister Cayley and Nick’s wife Sandra both turned to Long Lost Family for help.

【原文】 Boys and girls, I think you’ll agree that reading faster is important to success in college. So it’s only practical to learn to read faster.
First, I want you to think about reading like you think about running. The more you run, the faster and farther you can go. And the more you read, the faster you’re going to read. There are a few habits that prevent readers from reaching the speed. In the first place, some people read every word in their minds. Some even move their lips while reading. In addition, a lot of readers go back over the words they’ve already read. This is the worst habit. It not only slows us down, but also makes it more difficult to understand the meaning.
I understand that it’s hard to break those habits, but it helps if you do it in a well-organized environment like the Learning Centre. It’s free and with the help of its teachers you’ll make rapid progress in reading.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者在不愉快的日子如何通过帮助别人使自己和别人都快乐起来的故事。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right Not too long ago I was having one of those days.(你是否曾经有过这样的一天，每件事似乎都出错了，没有一件事是正确的 不久以前，我就经历了这样的一天)”可知，作者觉得沮丧是因为她遇到了一些考验。故选D项。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句Instead, she said, “I hear that Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and we’ll take them to her this afternoon ”(相反，她说：“我听说Jamie今天也很不顺。你为什么不给她做些饼干，我们今天下午把它们带去呢 ”)可知，作者向妈妈求助时，妈妈建议她做点饼干一起带给Jamie。故选D项。
26．词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句中妈妈说的话“Jamie was having a difficult day too.”及划线词所在句中“Then I made a card with a sunflower on it”可知，Jamie过得也不顺心，作者制作一张带有向日葵的卡片给她，由此可推知“wrote a note of empathy”意为“写一个安慰的便条”，划线词“empathy”意为“安慰”，故选C项。
27．推理判断题。根据第三段中作者说的话“I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.(我听说你今天过得很不好，所以决定带点东西给你。我希望你的日子过得更好)”并结合本段最后一句“it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.”可知，作者给过得不顺的Jamie带了东西，希望她过得更好，好像在那个小小的行为中，她的一天变得明亮了，由此可推知，“小小的行为”来自于别人的关爱。故选B项。

【导读】本文是说明文。本文主要介绍狗喜欢日光浴的原因。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Dogs are generations of wolves, which are extremely social animals. They express their love for one another by lying in the sun. Dogs follow their examples to stay warm in cold weather and cool down when it’s too hot to go outside.(狗是狼的后代，是一种群居的动物。它们通过躺在阳光下来表达对彼此的爱。狗效仿它们，在寒冷的天气里保持温暖，在太热而不能外出的时候降温。)”可推断，狗在某些方面与狼关系密切。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的“A dog’s body temperature stays at around 101 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the day. Their paws(爪子) allow them to sense heat and cold, so lying in the sun helps them keep their body temperature.(狗的体温一整天都保持在101华氏度左右。它们的爪子可以感知冷热，所以躺在阳光下可以帮助它们保持体温。)”可知，狗喜欢日光浴是为了保持体温。故选C。
30．词句猜测题。However表示上下文是转折关系，上文“From the outside, it appears as though dogs are having a great time when they are taking a sunbath!(从外面看，狗在晒日光浴的时候似乎玩得很开心!)”说明狗晒日光浴时看起来很高兴，因此推断下文应是说明暴露在日下的不利之处，由此可知线句句意：如果暴露在太多的紫外线辐射下，狗可能会被晒伤或出现皮肤问题。划线部分与receive“受到”意思相近。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一、二段引出狗晒日光浴的话题，第三段提出狗为什么晒日光浴的问题，四、五段讲述狗喜欢晒日光浴的原因，因此本文讲述狗喜欢日光浴的理由。故选A。
32．D 33．B 34．B 35．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述通过使用数学方法在海上挽救生命。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult. ”（除了潮汐和天气条件的挑战外，不稳定的水流经常使搜寻和营救措施变得极其困难。）可知，在搜寻和营救中，变化的水流呈现出挑战。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“These curves can’t be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. ”（这些曲线不能被眼睛看到。但是通过使用由ETM小组发展的数学方法，能瞬间从海洋表面的水流数据追踪到这些曲线。）可知，新算法能追踪到曲线的路径，故选B项。
34．段落大意题。根据第五段“the ETH team tested their new, TRAP-based search algorithm”（ETM小组基于TRAP的搜寻算法，来测试他们的新算法，。）可知，第五段主要讲述算法的测试，故选B项。
35．标题判断题。第一段“Hundreds of people die at sea every year due to ship and airplane accidents.”（每年成百上千的人由于船或飞机事故死在海中。）交代了文章的背景。根据第二段“the team has developed an algorithm to predict where objects and people floating in water will go.”（这个小组发展了算法，用于预测将要沉入水中的人和物。）及“recent mathematical methods… enables quick and precise planning of search paths”（最近的数学方法使搜寻路径变得快且精准。）可知，数学算法可以在海上精准地探测到人和物体，故文章主要讲述如何通过使用数学方法在海上挽救生命。故选C项。
36．F 37．B 38．D 39．E 40．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍几种方式可以让读者花更少钱享受欧洲旅行。
36．由下文“That’s simply not true. By knowing when to travel, you can save almost half off a traditional vacation to a European destination. (这根本不是真的。通过知道什么时候旅行，你可以节省去欧洲度假的一半费用。)”可知，作者这里主要讲怎么节省旅游费用，而F项“However, many travelers think that anywhere outside of the country is too expensive(然而，许多旅行者认为国外的任何地方都太贵了)”符合语境，其中too expensive与下文save almost half形成对比。故选F项。
37．由下文“The busiest time of year for tourism in Europe is summer. (欧洲一年中旅游业最繁忙的时间是夏天。)”以及“Though attractions may be open fewer hours each day, you’ll be able to do more in a normal day because you won’t be standing in long lines everywhere you go.(虽然景点每天开放的时间可能更少，但你可以在正常的一天里做更多的事情，因为你不会在任何地方都排着长队。)”可知，这段主要讲旅行时间的选择，要避免拥挤时间，所以B项“Travel in the off-season(淡季旅行)”符合语境，能对本段总括。故选B项。
38．由下文“Though attractions may be open fewer hours each day, you’ll be able to do more in a normal day because you won’t be standing in long lines everywhere you go.(虽然景点每天开放的时间可能更少，但你可以在正常的一天里做更多的事情，因为你不会在任何地方都排着长队。)”可知，淡季不拥挤，可以让你不用排队。而D项“Any time of year outside of summer is a good time to go to avoid the crowds(夏季以外的任何时间都是避开人群的好时机)”符合语境，其中avoid the crowds和后文you won’t be standing in long lines everywhere you go对应。故选D项。
39．由下文“if you aren’t sure where you’ll be at a particular time before you leave home(如果你不确定离家前的特定时间你会在哪里)”可知，有的游客在出发前是没有确定具体旅游计划的，而E项You can download the phone app and make reservations at restaurants on the go(您可以下载手机应用程序并在外出途中预订餐厅)符合语境，其中make reservations与小标题“Book your meals with TopTable.(使用TopTable预订您的用餐)”对应。故选E项。
40．由下文“Exploring a new place doesn’t have to be all about paying for expensive tickets and delicious meals. Some of the best ways to experience local culture is by simply sitting outside in a park while baying a pionic and people-watching. Pick up copies of local newspapers and magazines when you travel to look for listings of free events and to learn about fun things to do nearby that aren’t listed in the guidebooks.(探索一个新的地方并不需要支付昂贵的门票和美味的饭菜。体验当地文化的最佳方式之一就是坐在公园外面，一边大喊大叫，一边观看。当你旅行时，拿起当地报纸和杂志的副本，寻找免费活动的列表，并了解旅游指南中没有列出的附近有趣的事情。)”可知，这段主要讲旅行不一定需要支付昂贵的门票和美味的饭菜，也可以体验一些免费的项目。而A项“Embrace free activities(拥抱免费活动)”符合文意，能对本段总括。故选A项。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了友谊的重要性，人际关系应该精心发展。

59．考查非谓语动词。句意：分享让快乐变得更有意义，分担让烦恼减半。分析句子结构可知，该分句主语a trouble shared谓语动词是become，half与逻辑主语trouble之间是被动关系，应该填过去分词halved。故填 halved。
60．考查定语从句。句意：其次，通过与那些明智和善意的朋友的交谈，可以获得更好的理解和判断。分析句子结构可知，这是一个限定性定语从句，先行词是friends，在从句中作主语，因此应用关系代词who或that引导，故填who或that。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：另外，准备与朋友交谈使我们的想法更清楚，理解更深入。分析句子结构可知，该句主语是“准备与朋友交谈”，谓语动词是makes，动名词preparing to talk with a friend作主语。故填 preparing
62．考查形容词比较级。句意：另外，准备与朋友交谈使我们的想法更清楚，理解更深入。根据and前clearer是比较级可知，and连接两个并列比较级形式，该空应该填thorough比较级more thorough。故填 more thorough。
63．考查副词。句意：此外，在我们的一生中，拥有不同技能和想法的朋友，也许可以以许多不同的方式给我们提供帮助，甚至在我们死后。根据句意“死后还能提供帮助”与上文是递进关系，故填副词even。故填 even。
64．考查it作形式主语。句意：然而，必须指出，朋友的选择和关系的发展都要慎重。分析句子结构可知，该句主语是 friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed，应该用it作为形式主语。故填 it。
65．考查冠词。句意：有了我们信赖的朋友的安慰、建议和帮助，我们可以过上更好的生活。根据上文 friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed可知，该句是特指“朋友的安慰安慰、建议和帮助”，应该用定冠词the。故填 the。

67． Nick and his wife Sandra decided to find his mother’s house. It felt so strange that Nick knew it was exactly the house when they were approaching it. He had a feeling that he had been living here long long time ago. He was eager to knock at the door, but he stopped all of a sudden. His concern was that he might interrupt his mother. He didn’t want to go into the house directly and told her they were her son and daughter-in-law.
Thankfully, Nick’s sister Cayley and Nick’s wife Sandra both turned to Long Lost Family for help. Cayley wanted to find her little brother, and Sandra wanted to help her husband find about his mum. Cayley was asked lots of personal questions. She burst into tears when she knew they were about her brother. When they finally met, Nick knew it was exactly his sister. They were so alike, even their gestures or ways of speaking were the same. A month later, Nick was reunited with his mum, who flew back from America. They are always meeting up from then on.
