27、I was in the middle of the Amazon (亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We flew on a small plane to a faraway village. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more out of place.

We were raised on books and computers, highways and cell phones, but now we were living in a village without running water or electricity. It was easy for us to go to sleep at the end of the day feeling a little misunderstood.

Then one perfect Amazonian evening, with monkeys calling from beyond the village green, we played soccer. I am not good at soccer, but that evening it was wonderful. Everyone knew the rules. We all spoke the same language of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly. As darkness came over the field and the match ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way, “In your home, do you have a moon too?” I was surprised.

After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of awe (敬畏) at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan's world, each village could have its own moon. In Juan's world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.

In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the wildest things left to find. I can, from my computer at home, pull up satellite images of Juan's village. There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover. At least it seems that way.

Yet, as I thought about Juan's question, I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part, an ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant (无知的) are we? The question of what we know and do not know constantly bothered me.

【1】Which word cannot replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1?

A．Regretful.

B．Strange.

C．Uncomfortable.

D．Foreign.

【2】What made that Amazonian evening wonderful?

A．He learned more about the local language.

B．They had a nice conversation with each other.

C．They understood each other while playing.

D．He won the soccer game with the goal keeper.

【3】Why was the author surprised at Juan's question about the moon?

A．The question was too complicated.

B．Juan knew so little about the world.

C．The author didn't know how to answer.

D．The author didn't think Juan was sincere.

【4】What is the main function of referring to the “moon” in the passage?

A．It means the culture gap existing in our world.

B．It represents what we have known and haven't.

C．It shows how ignorant human beings are, especially Juan.

D．It serves as a trigger and makes the following parts happen.

【5】What could be the most suitable title for the passage?

A．The Possible and the Impossible.

B．The Known and the Unknown.

C．The Civilized and the Uncivilized.

D．The Ignorant and the Intelligent.

28、   Don't drive your kids to school. Let them ride a bike to school.

In England 8.3 million children travel to school every day. It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%), although one in three children would actually like to.

Experts say that to stay healthy, children need at least one hour of moderate (适度的) exercise every day. But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that. One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school.

Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes, ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car, and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills. Also, for many children, riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car.

Most parents know the benefits. Then what's stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike? Safety is the number one worry for them. But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.

When you decide to buy a bike, you should be aware (意识到) that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous. Don't try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”. Get the right size in good working order. Generally, 20­ inch wheels are on bikes for 5-8 year old; 24 ­inch wheels are for 9-11 year old; 26 ­inch wheels are suitable for those over 11, and some older children should even take bikes with 28 ­inch wheels, but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.

【1】This passage is mainly written for ________.

A.teachers whose students have asked their parents to drive them to school

B.children who have asked their parents to drive them to school

C.parents who drive their children to school

D.parents who drive to work

【2】Which of the following benefits of cycling to school is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.It will help children keep healthy.

B.It will make children more active in class.

C.It will make children feel freer.

D.It will be more fun for children.

【3】Parents don't allow their children to ride a bike to school mainly because ________.

A.their children don't want to

B.they are worried about their children's safety

C.they don't know what size bike to choose

D.they haven't enough money to buy a bike

【4】Generally, what size bike is suitable for a 10­year­old child?

A.A bike with 20­inch wheels.

B.A bike with 24­inch wheels.

C.A bike with 26­inch wheels.

D.A bike with 28­inch wheels

29、

Goal 13:Tackling(应对)Climate Change

Goal 13 calls for urgent action to fight climate change and its impact.【1】.

To address climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius. Learn more about Goal 13, and for the latest United Nations climate news, visit un. org/climatechange.

Why we need action

Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting(扰乱) national economies.【2】

The greenhouse gas emissions(排放)from human activities are driving climate change and continue to rise.【3】 Without action, the world’s average surface temperature is projected to rise over the 21st century and is likely to surpass 3 degrees Celsius this century—with some areas of the world expected to warm even more.

A race we can win

Affordable, scalable(可攀登的)solutions are now available to enable countries to turn to cleaner, more resilient(有弹性的)economies. The pace of change is quickening as more people are turning to renewable energy.【4】

But climate change is a global challenge that does not respect national borders. Emissions anywhere affect people everywhere. It is an issue that requires solutions that need to be managed at the international level and it requires international cooperation to help developing countries move toward a low-carbon economy.

To address climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement on 12 December 2015.【5】 In the agreement, all countries agreed to work to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius.

A．They are now at their highest levels in history.

B．These actions can be taken to fight climate change.

C．The agreement entered into force less than a year later.

D．They are also taking other measures that will reduce emissions.

E．The passive attitude we have to the agreement as individuals can be changed.

F．It is linked to all 16 of the other Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

G．It is also costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow.

One day, I was talking to my teacher about one of the upcoming tests when I saw the girl _________ me in a strange way. I _________ started to feel surprised and think, “Why is she looking at me? Did I do something wrong?

The whole day, I _________ up thinking about one thing. That was, “Why does she think that?” After thinking about that _________ in my head through each second of the day, I came to learn one big __________: everyone has their own insecurities even though they may not be discovered on the __________.

31、

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to 【1】 older people on the front end of a technological shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear 【2】 divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so 【3】 across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one vet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is 【4】 engaged.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars 【5】 real value to these age groups, especially to those with 【6】 mobility or difficulty driving on their own.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related 【7】 than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more 【8】 based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education：59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives 【9】 too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become 【10】. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
