When I was 16 years old, I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
14. Why did the author skip school on that day?
A. Because her parents left home early. B. Because it was a cold winter morning.
C. Because she was fascinated by a novel. D. Because she hated to take the biology exam.
15. What did the author think is the source of true joy?
A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain.
C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion.
16. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph?
A. Entering. B. Destroying. C. Mending. D. Blocking.
17. What can we infer from the passage?
A. I was tired of my real-life roles. B. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot.
C. I learnt how to write on the internet. D. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.
C
My husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco-conscious people. We switched our light bulbs to CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs to conserve energy. We went about the house turning off lights and unplugging appliances that weren’t in use. But the rate of global warming exceeded our snail’s pace conversion to greenhood. So I pressed onward．
I decided to put veganism (素食主义) at the top of our agenda. Vegans refuse any animal flesh or commercial goods made from any animal byproducts such as milk or fats. All the family applauded this option except for my husband. Some kind of animal needed to sacrifice its dear life for his meal or it wasn’t dinner. I cooked up a storm, struggling to prepare nutritious meals dominated by not-so-obvious vegan dishes like bean burritos and high-fiber vegetable stir-fry. It took a few days before he realized that he hadn’t been eating any meat.
“I feel like eating beef.” he announced. So that night, I took full advantage of a zucchini (一种南瓜), cut it into chunky (粗大的) pieces and cooked them. Then I covered them with spices. My beef-starved husband had some and a curious look crossed his face.
“Where’s the beef?”
“Living peacefully somewhere on an open plain where it belongs.”
“I knew it,” he murmured. “You’ve surely made great contributions to the boom in cattle.” His taste buds were developed completely around the flavor of every kind of animal: cattle, pigs, deer, lamb, chickens and ducks. Converting him was like feeding grass to a lion.
I’m all for preserving our planet, but what good would it do to save the earth for tomorrow’s generation if today’s died of starvation? The next day, we went out for burgers. I was very careful to place the paper bag into our recycling bin.
18. Which of the following best explains “exceeded” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Defeated. B. Absorbed． C. Bound. D. Distributed．
19. What do we know about the author’s husband from Paragraph 2?
A. He supported the meat-free diet． B. He was a preserver of animals．
C. He was regarded as a meat lover． D. He played a dominant role in cooking．
20. What do we know about the author?
A. She had a good sense of humor． B. She successfully transformed her husband．
C. She advocated raising more cattle． D. She had a perfect recipe for cooking meals.
21. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Hunger or Anger? B. Discrimination or Appreciation?
C. Vegetables or Troubles? D. Greens or Lions?
D
Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn’t have imagined life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of dozens of things we used to think were essential.
The smartphone story could even be a model for fighting climate change; not because smartphones use a small part of the energy of all the things they replace — although they do — but because they represent a different approach to design in general. And that approach is to focus on function rather than form. That requires focusing on understanding the underlying problem, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. This approach could revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency.
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone devices at all, because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just installing a more efficient heater, some people have focused instead on the desired function: staying warm. They designed and coated their house so well that they could get rid of their heater altogether, letting them heat their house with 99% less energy.
In the same way, rather than just making cars more efficient, what if we focus on the desired function — getting where we want when we want — and create an efficient transportation system where we can drive less or get rid of our personal cars entirely?
The most energy efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it’s not thinking efficient, it’s thinking different.
22. What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?
A. Perfecting individual devices. B. Combining possible functions.
C. Adopting a minimalist design. D. Reducing the energy consumption.
23. According to the passage, what is the core of improving energy efficiency?
A. Using recyclable materials. B. Revolutionizing technologies.
C. Figuring out various solutions. D. Concentrating on the essential needs.
24. What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?
A. Out-of-date. B. Ineffective. C. Adequate. D. Successful.
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Think out of the box. B. Differences make it unique.
C. Be economical with energy. D. Step out of the comfort zone.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you’re packing for an adventure, what’s the most important thing you’ll need? 26 Or better yet, a GPS. What about other animals, how do they know where they’re going?
While humans depend on technology to travel, some animals have something far more advanced. Researchers, mainly from Oregon State University, US, found that Chinook salmon (鲑鱼) have a “built-in GPS” of the Earth’s magnetic field. 27 It acts like a big map inside their brain.
Scientists placed some baby salmon into a big swimming pool. To simulate (模拟) the Earth’s magnetic field, they put magnetic coils (线圈) all around the pool. Then, by changing the direction of the coils, the salmon began to change their own direction. They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area. 28 When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side, the salmon also turned in the opposite direction. Just by using their “built-in GPS”, the salmon were able to figure out the direction of their feeding area.
29 The scientists believe that their navigation skills came through evolution. The fish that were able to reach the feeding area lived longer. 30 So if you’re ever lost and in need of some help, maybe you should ask a salmon to point you in the right direction!
A. If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll need a map!
B. How did Chinook salmon get their “built-in GPS”?
C. Then they could pass on their navigation skills to their babies.
D. This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat.
E. However, the magnetic field is likely not the only tool salmon use to navigate.
F. It turns out young salmon don’t just learn quickly, they don’t need to learn at all.
G. This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean.

Without thinking I got out of my car, held my hand up 36 the truck driver wouldn’t move forward, and 37 down to look at the butterfly. One of its legs was 38 in what looked like spilt soda (苏打水). I reached down and 39 the butterfly as 40 as I could. I lifted its leg up and suddenly it was 41 . I opened my hands and up it flew towards the shining sun. My own eyes shone brighter and my own heart felt 42 as I watched it.
Now a lot of people might wonder why I would step out into traffic like that to 43 a single butterfly. All I can say is that my heart was 44 me at that moment. And when I was done I felt more like my true self than I had all day. 45 your days with goodness and love, and your heart will feel as light as a butterfly.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” The old man said impatiently. The boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I’m selling these magazines and I was wondering if you’d like to buy one from me.”
The old man stared at the boy without a word. The boy looked inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace cover. “Do you collect dogs?” the boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The boy was sad that he wasn’t going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a dog figurine he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine didn’t mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. The thought of knocking at the old man’s door filled the little boy with fear, but he still knocked on the door, waiting breathlessly. Finally, it opened, and out came the old man. Seeing the boy holding a well-wrapped dog statue, he looked very astonished but still glared at him without a word. Determined to break the ice, the boy gave the old man the gift with a precious card attached, expressing sincerely caring about him. Deeply moved by all the boy did, the old man could say nothing but to hug him tightly, with tears of appreciation welling up. Out of gratitude, he bought a magazine from the boy. (111 words)
From that day on, something changed inside the old man. He adopted a real live dog and treated him as his child. It seemed that it was the company of the dog that led the lonely soul out of darkness and loneliness. Gradually, he was willing to greet others with a bright smile, expressing his appreciation to life. Indeed, only when we open up the door of our heart can we be bathed in the brilliant sunshine and enjoy the warmth of love and care. (75 words)

I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
14. Why did the author skip school on that day?
A. Because her parents left home early. B. Because it was a cold winter morning.
C. Because she was fascinated by a novel. D. Because she hated to take the biology exam.
15. What did the author think is the source of true joy?
A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain.
C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion.
16. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph?
A. Entering. B. Destroying. C. Mending. D. Blocking.
17. What can we infer from the passage?
A. I was tired of my real-life roles. B. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot.
C. I learnt how to write on the internet. D. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.
C
My husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco-conscious people. We switched our light bulbs to CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs to conserve energy. We went about the house turning off lights and unplugging appliances that weren’t in use. But the rate of global warming exceeded our snail’s pace conversion to greenhood. So I pressed onward．
I decided to put veganism (素食主义) at the top of our agenda. Vegans refuse any animal flesh or commercial goods made from any animal byproducts such as milk or fats. All the family applauded this option except for my husband. Some kind of animal needed to sacrifice its dear life for his meal or it wasn’t dinner. I cooked up a storm, struggling to prepare nutritious meals dominated by not-so-obvious vegan dishes like bean burritos and high-fiber vegetable stir-fry. It took a few days before he realized that he hadn’t been eating any meat.
“I feel like eating beef.” he announced. So that night, I took full advantage of a zucchini (一种南瓜), cut it into chunky (粗大的) pieces and cooked them. Then I covered them with spices. My beef-starved husband had some and a curious look crossed his face.
“Where’s the beef?”
“Living peacefully somewhere on an open plain where it belongs.”
“I knew it,” he murmured. “You’ve surely made great contributions to the boom in cattle.” His taste buds were developed completely around the flavor of every kind of animal: cattle, pigs, deer, lamb, chickens and ducks. Converting him was like feeding grass to a lion.
I’m all for preserving our planet, but what good would it do to save the earth for tomorrow’s generation if today’s died of starvation? The next day, we went out for burgers. I was very careful to place the paper bag into our recycling bin.
18. Which of the following best explains “exceeded” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Defeated. B. Absorbed． C. Bound. D. Distributed．
19. What do we know about the author’s husband from Paragraph 2?
A. He supported the meat-free diet． B. He was a preserver of animals．
C. He was regarded as a meat lover． D. He played a dominant role in cooking．
20. What do we know about the author?
A. She had a good sense of humor． B. She successfully transformed her husband．
C. She advocated raising more cattle． D. She had a perfect recipe for cooking meals.
21. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Hunger or Anger? B. Discrimination or Appreciation?
C. Vegetables or Troubles? D. Greens or Lions?
D
Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn’t have imagined life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of dozens of things we used to think were essential.
The smartphone story could even be a model for fighting climate change; not because smartphones use a small part of the energy of all the things they replace — although they do — but because they represent a different approach to design in general. And that approach is to focus on function rather than form. That requires focusing on understanding the underlying problem, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. This approach could revolutionize how we think about energy efficiency.
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly focused on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the standalone devices at all, because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to using energy efficiently, rather than just installing a more efficient heater, some people have focused instead on the desired function: staying warm. They designed and coated their house so well that they could get rid of their heater altogether, letting them heat their house with 99% less energy.
In the same way, rather than just making cars more efficient, what if we focus on the desired function — getting where we want when we want — and create an efficient transportation system where we can drive less or get rid of our personal cars entirely?
The most energy efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it’s not thinking efficient, it’s thinking different.
22. What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?
A. Perfecting individual devices. B. Combining possible functions.
C. Adopting a minimalist design. D. Reducing the energy consumption.
23. According to the passage, what is the core of improving energy efficiency?
A. Using recyclable materials. B. Revolutionizing technologies.
C. Figuring out various solutions. D. Concentrating on the essential needs.
24. What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?
A. Out-of-date. B. Ineffective. C. Adequate. D. Successful.
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Think out of the box. B. Differences make it unique.
C. Be economical with energy. D. Step out of the comfort zone.

When you’re packing for an adventure, what’s the most important thing you’ll need? 26 Or better yet, a GPS. What about other animals, how do they know where they’re going?
While humans depend on technology to travel, some animals have something far more advanced. Researchers, mainly from Oregon State University, US, found that Chinook salmon (鲑鱼) have a “built-in GPS” of the Earth’s magnetic field. 27 It acts like a big map inside their brain.
Scientists placed some baby salmon into a big swimming pool. To simulate (模拟) the Earth’s magnetic field, they put magnetic coils (线圈) all around the pool. Then, by changing the direction of the coils, the salmon began to change their own direction. They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area. 28 When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side, the salmon also turned in the opposite direction. Just by using their “built-in GPS”, the salmon were able to figure out the direction of their feeding area.
29 The scientists believe that their navigation skills came through evolution. The fish that were able to reach the feeding area lived longer. 30 So if you’re ever lost and in need of some help, maybe you should ask a salmon to point you in the right direction!
A. If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll need a map!
B. How did Chinook salmon get their “built-in GPS”?
C. Then they could pass on their navigation skills to their babies.
D. This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat.
E. However, the magnetic field is likely not the only tool salmon use to navigate.
F. It turns out young salmon don’t just learn quickly, they don’t need to learn at all.
G. This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean.

After I made my 32 I walked back out into the heat. I got in my car but had to wait to 33 because of all the cars lined up at the red stop light.

My own eyes shone brighter and my own heart felt 42 as I watched it.
Now a lot of people might wonder why I would step out into traffic like that to 43 a single butterfly. All I can say is that my heart was 44 me at that moment. And when I was done I felt more like my true self than I had all day. 45 your days with goodness and love, and your heart will feel as light as a butterfly.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” The old man said impatiently. The boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I’m selling these magazines and I was wondering if you’d like to buy one from me.”
The old man stared at the boy without a word. The boy looked inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace cover. “Do you collect dogs?” the boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The boy was sad that he wasn’t going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a dog figurine he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine didn’t mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. The thought of knocking at the old man’s door filled the little boy with fear, but he still knocked on the door, waiting breathlessly. Finally, it opened, and out came the old man. Seeing the boy holding a well-wrapped dog statue, he looked very astonished but still glared at him without a word. Determined to break the ice, the boy gave the old man the gift with a precious card attached, expressing sincerely caring about him. Deeply moved by all the boy did, the old man could say nothing but to hug him tightly, with tears of appreciation welling up. Out of gratitude, he bought a magazine from the boy. (111 words)
From that day on, something changed inside the old man. He adopted a real live dog and treated him as his child. It seemed that it was the company of the dog that led the lonely soul out of darkness and loneliness. Gradually, he was willing to greet others with a bright smile, expressing his appreciation to life. Indeed, only when we open up the door of our heart can we be bathed in the brilliant sunshine and enjoy the warmth of love and care. (75 words)
