As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects I’ve never heard of and now must learn all about. I don’t search for rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.

Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect. Different books offer me insightsand ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oysternow shine like pearls. My taste in books improves with age.

While packing for a move, which occurs at intervalsof five to seven years, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job-architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect. These had given me many hours of pleasure. Will I ever open their covers again? Certainly. I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston.

I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw out rolls and rolls of paper, and old drawings of projects completed long ago, some of which had even been damaged. This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feathers changing with the seasons.

4. What does the author consider most important when choosing used books？

A. Their appealing covers. B. Their reasonable prices.

C. Their excellent content. D. Their collection value.

5. What does the author realize as he grows older?

A. He has a small circle of friends. B. His attitude towards work changes.

C. His communication skills improve. D. He has a deeper understanding of life and books.

6. Why does the author mention books on architecture?

A. To show some books are worth reading repeatedly.

B. To recommend Sir Banister Fletcher’s books.

C. To suggest we avoid making poor decisions.

D. To explain his love for architecture.

7. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?

A. He will stop throwing away used books.

B. He likes updating his collection of used books.

C. He is bad at using advanced drafting equipment.

D. He enjoys leading an active life in the countryside.

Scientists today are concerned about the growing number of species in the world that may soon become extinct. The United Nations, along with many governments, are trying to save these endangered species. To help resolve this issue, scientists have been trying to learn why species become endangered.

In the United States, loss of habitats is the main reason for species becoming endangered. As populations grow and cities or towns expand, nature is destroyed and the ecosystem is affected. Even small changes in one part of an ecosystem can have a big impact on another part of it. For example, deforestation may result in a change in ground temperature, which may kill off a certain kind of plant in the forest. Animals that eat this plant may suddenly find that there is no available food so they starve to death.

Another possible cause of endangered or extinct species is climate change and rising sea levels. As the Earth gets warmer, this has profound effects on animal and plant life everywhere. For example, rising sea levels make coastal areas unfit for birds to live in. Warmer temperatures melt the ice where polar bears live, wreckingtheir habitat and making it harder for them to find food. The rising seas also make it harder for polar bears to swim from the cold waters to frozen packs of ice so many of them drown.

There are several ways that people are trying to help endangered species recover. Ecologists study different species and try to find out more information about them to try and help. In Finland, for example, scientists found that a a decrease in the number of bogs(沼泽) was responsible for the falling butterfly population. Once they understood this, they could manage the butterfly population and help it recover. Governments are also passing laws to protect endangered animals. One example of this is an area near Hawaii with a seriously low fish population. The United States’ government has made it illegal for fishing boats to enter this area.

8. What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A. Most endangered species are located in the United States.

B. Cities and towns in the United States are growing too fast.

C. Ecosystem changes can result in habitat loss and animal death.

D. More trees need to be planted to prevent animals from dying out.

9. What does the underlined word “wrecking” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Conserving. B. Damaging. C. Providing. D. Dominating.

10. Which is the best title for this text?

A. Saving Endangered Species B. A List of Endangered Species

C. The Causes of Global Warming D. How Polar Bears Became Extinct

11. What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Some other ways to help endangered species recover.

B. A brief discussion of polar bears and their diet habits.

C. The impact of fishing laws on the development of Hawaii.

D. Various opinions and debates concerning the cause of global warming.

Virtual realty can improve brain activity that may be crucial for leaning, memory and even treating Alzheimer’s, a study on rats has found.

After monitoring the rats’ brain activity, researchers from the University of California Los Angeles discovered electrical activity in a region known as the hippocampus neurons (海马体神经元) differed depending on whether the rats were placed in real-world or VR environments. The new findings are significant as the hippocampus is a primary driver of learning and memory in the brain.

When rats walk around in real life, electrical activity in the hippocampus appears to synchronize (同步发生) at a rate of eight heartbeats per second. Heartbeats at this frequency are generally known as “theta (?) waves”, with stronger ? waves seeming to improve the brain's ability to learn and keep sensory information. When placed in a VR environment, the rat’s ? waves became stronger.

“It turns out that amazing things happen when the rat is in virtual reality” said Prof Mayank Mehta from UCLA. The scientists also found that VR environments could change different electrical rhythms (节律) in different parts of the neurons, which indicates that scientists may be able to control human brain rhythms.

“This is a new technology that has great potential,” Mehta said. The study also indicates why VR may stimulate these unique brain waves. A big part of it, Mehta puts, may be down to the very different set of stimuli presented in VR.

Imagine that you’re approaching a doorway in real life. Your eyes see the door getting larger. But how do you know that you’re moving forward and the door isn’t coming to you? The answer is that your brain uses information such as the acceleration of your head through space or the shift of weight from one foot to the other－information that may not be present during a VR experience.

12. According to the passage, why are the new findings important?

A. VR’s contributions to learning have finally been identified.

B. VR can affect electrical activity in the hippocampus neurons.

C. VR produces the same effects on brains as real environments.

D. VR is likely to become another driver for learning and memory.

13. What can we learn about ? waves?

A. They don’t respond to different brain rhythms.

B. They remain stable in different environments.

C. They affect how human perceive knowledge.

D. They have lite to do with the rate of heartbeats.

14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The potential of the new technology.

B. The control of human brain rhythms.

C. The change in different parts of neurons.

D. The stimulation of the unique brain waves.

15. How does the author introduce VR’s different set of stimuli?

A. By conducting further tests on rats. B. By comparing different environments.

C. By providing a detailed analysis D. By explaining the theory of VR.

Five years ago, my husband and I bought a former farm. It’s a short ride from our Vancouver home but a world away. As we restore the land, I feel my well-being returning, but I think the farm is also working its magic on our son’s growing resilience (适应能力). Since Dev was 20, he has lived with mental illness. We have been on this journey with him from crisis to recovery.

____16____ We found the farm.

It has taken a couple of years to clear the land, seed the lawn (草坪) and build garden beds. But we did it even as other parts of our life had come undone. The farm was holding our family together. We come over on weekends and holidays and have been planting. ____17____

Before he went to treatment, we planted a “guild” in the old apple farm. ____18____We dug around the weaker trees and placed in garlic, wildflowers and bone meal. It keeps the moisture (水分) and nutrients in, and the garden seems to thrive (茁壮成长) as a result.

____19____ The land needed clearing, and Doug, our workman, worked steadily and helped whenever I asked. Asking for help is a principle in the recovery community, a lesson my son is learning. It truly does take a village to restore a farm and rebuild a life.

Owning a farm was never our plan but it came when our family needed a meaningful project. When my hands are in the dirt, I remember that intervention (干预) is necessary and so is allowing nature to take its course. Digging is an act of faith, hope and anticipation of what will appear next.

A. We helped ourselves by helping others.

B. We also learned how to depend on others.

C. My son had great difficulty making a recovery.

D. I have seen this drive toward restoration in my son as well.

E. Just when it couldn’t get any worse, an unexpected light occurred.

F. During this time, Dev is concentrating on his own restoration process.

G. Its aim is to support the health of trees by grouping other surrounding components.

Ariana Porter was very excited. Tomorrow will be anew day and a new beginning, well, kind of. Tomorrow Ariana will go to a boarding school! No little sister to share a room with, peace and quiet. She ate her favourite homemade curry for the last time that year. Then, she curled up in her clean bed and shut her eyes. Excited.

The next day, Ariana woke up, jumped into her best clothes and flew downstairs. After a quick breakfast, the whole family lined up and said their goodbyes. Ariana’s little sister tried to hug her, but she shrugged Liliana off. And off she went to boarding school. Happy.

However, when Ariana got there, everyone looked unwelcoming. A teacher showed her to her dorm. It was cold and dark! A few days later, Ariana got several letters. The rainbow one was from her little sister and another from her parents. Ariana couldn’t even be bothered to open them. She just threw them into the main hall’s fireplace when nobody was around.

Every day, Ariana tried to make friends. It was an all-girls school. Unfortunately, she had no luck. She tried to give girls gifts, she tried to be friendly, but they shrugged her off just like she did to her sister. Two months passed trying to find new friends, but without success. Ariana felt more and more lonely. Something was missing in her life. Something indescribable. Something, or maybe someone.

Week after week went by and then, one day, holding yet another batch of mail, Ariana’s heart trembled. She realized what she was painfully missing, her FAMILY. Whenever she was down, whenever she needed help or comfort, they were there for her. Always. This time she opened the little rainbow envelope and smiled. Reading it filled her heart with joy. Ariana couldn’t reply, for the school didn’t allow that, so she decided to hide the letters under her pillow. The pile grew larger and they were so important to her, for the letters gave her the greatest comfort when she was away from home.

Months passed eagerly waiting for the day when the school year ends. No more dorm life and unfriendly girls. Ariana skipped to math class excitedly, but couldn’t concentrate, she dreamed about going home.

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。

Finally it was the day to go home and Ariana started to pack.

Ariana was leaving the dorm when she realized she forgot something important.

【47题答案】

【答案】Finally it was the day to go home and Ariana started to pack. She was so excited at the thought of seeing her family, whom she had not seen for a long time, especially her cute little sister, that she could not stop packing. At this moment, a feeling of happiness arose spontaneously. She couldn't wait to get out of the dorm, the unfriendly classroom and the girls, and she was so excited to go back home.

Ariana was leaving the dorm when she realized she forgot something important. The piles of letters under her pillow were of great importance to her. Because it was these letters that gave her the confidence and courage to carry on when she was having the toughest time. Every word in the letter was the best encouragement which inspired her not to give up. She picked up the thick stack of letters carefully and packed them up, while thinking of the warm scenes at home with her family. At that moment, she realized that it was the warmth and company of her family that enabled her to go through this difficult time. She wanted to sincerely say: I love you my family.
