阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Feeling stressed out by the fast pace of life? Meet three ocean-going animals having mastered the art of slow living.
Bowhead Whale
In 2007, a harpoon(鱼叉) head was found in a recently killed bowhead whale. That brand of harpoon hadn’t been manufactured since 1885－indicating that the whale survived a whaler’s attack and went on to live for another 130 years.
Dating of the whale revealed that they can live to be over 200 years old, making them the longest-lived mammal. They remain disease-free until much late in their lives. Researchers discovered changes in their DNA related to cancer, aging, and cell repair. This suggests that they have evolved special resistance to age-related disease and decline.
Orange Roughy
The orange roughy takes its sweet time growing and maturing. They only start to reproduce between 20 and 40 years of age, but can live to be older than 150 years. Mucus(粘液) outflowing from channels on their heads and bodies can detect tiny changes in water pressure, helping them excel at the art of enemy avoidance.
“Ming” the Ocean Quahog(北极蛤)
Born during the Ming Dynasty, this quahog met its end when researchers were clearing the seabed. By counting its growth bands and dating the carbon in its shell, scientists determined that this clam settled onto the seafloor approximately 507 years ago. Ming, and other long-lived clams like it, don’t appear to grow old－amounting to a 90-year-old human with the body and mind of a 20-year-old.
21. What can we know about Bowhead whale?
A. They can live for over 200 years.
B. They live on after being attacked.
C. They give birth to babies at 40 years old.
D. They are the longest-lived marine animals.
22. What was the longevity secret of Ming the Ocean Quahog?
A. Keeping healthy. B. Avoiding being eaten.
C. Settling onto the seafloor. D. Staying young at heart.
23. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Ming the Ocean Quahog will not grow old.
B. Ming’s shell provided information of its age.
C. Orange roughy have special resistance to disease.
D. Orange roughy survive by changing water pressure.
B
One night, a hedgehog(刺猬) was scanning the sky with his telescope, when he saw what seemed to be a spaceship flying to the moon. When he managed to properly focus on it, he found out that it was a craft belonging to an unfortunate Martian who seemed to have had an accident, and had to make an emergency landing on the moon.
The hedgehog realised that surely only he himself had seen this, so he decided to try to save the Martian. He called together a few animals to help. They couldn’t think what to do, so they called for more and more animals to join in. In the end, practically everyone in the forest was involved. It occurred to them that if they stood on top of each other, they could build a big tower and perhaps reach the moon.
That proved extremely difficult, and most animals ended up having had a finger in their eye, someone’s foot in their ear, and numerous bumps on the head. However, after much perseverance, they finally reached the moon and rescued the Martian. Most unfortunately, while he was coming down the tower of animals, the bear couldn’t help sneezing. Oh, the disgusting, invisible, tiny…!
The whole tower crashed to Earth with a great din including howls, roars, and other assorted animal cries. Seeing all this, the Martian thought that the animals would be very angry with him because they would blame it all on him. But it was just the opposite. As they recovered from the fall, the animals jumped and clapped with joy, happy to have achieved something so difficult together. The whole day was spent partying.
The Martian observed everything, and when he returned to his planet the other Martians were astonished at what had happened. And so it was those simple and helpful animals that taught the Martians the importance of working together, joyfully, in a team. …
24. What can we learn about the rescue?
A. The animals celebrated for their success.
B. The hedgehog got all the animals to help.
C. The Martian had intended to travel to the moon.
D. The tower crashed because of the animals’ being exhausted.
25. What does the underlined word “din” mean in paragraph four?
A. Anger. B. Force. C. Noise. D. Relief.
26. What might happen to the Martians in the future?
A. They will like to travel alone.
B. They will live on their planet joyfully.
C. They will always be ready for teamwork.
D. They will no longer travel through space.
27. What is probably the moral of the story ?
A. There is strength in numbers.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. One good turn deserves another.
D. Satisfaction from cooperation counts.
C
In August 2012, when thousands of honeybees landed on the wings of a Delta aircraft headed to New York, interrupting refueling and baggage loading, Ben Shertzer, wildlife administrator at Pittsburgh International Airport, turned to master beekeeper Steve Repasky. Shertzer learned from Repasky that honeybee numbers have sharply declined in recent years. Perhaps, thought Shertzer, the airport could host some hives (蜂箱).
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), first reported in 2006 by Pennsylvania beekeeper David Hackenberg, occurs when the vast majority of bees in any given colony — generally worker bees — die out unexpectedly. Therefore, Hackenberg transports his hives across the country to pollinate(对...授粉) crops: They might travel from Pennsylvania to California, and then, a few months later, those same hives might be moved to Maine for the blueberry crop. In 2006, Hackenberg had left 400 hives in a field to pollinate Brazilian pepper trees; when he returned to the hives a month later, all but 36 hives had been abandoned. The bees had just disappeared, leaving behind the queen and a few baby bees. By 2013, more than 10 million bee colonies had been lost worldwide.
Shertzer and Repasky approached airport management about placing hives in 2013, but were told that the program didn’t fit the airport’s vision. It wasn’t until Christina Cassotis came on board as CEO in 2015 that things turned around. The airport currently has 110 colonies. The program actually benefits the airport as well as the honeybees.
“Swarming(成群飞行) is reproductive behavior,” says Repasky. “In the spring, a healthy colony will divide into two parts, and will take off in a swarm to locate a new home, traveling upwards of a mile or more. While they’re searching, they’ll stop to rest on the first solid object they can find, whether it’s the wing of an aircraft, a runway taxi light, or a baggage cart.” To prevent this behavior, Shertzer and Repasky have placed 15 “swarm traps” around the airfield offering the bees alternative landing spots. It’s worked: Whereas the airport used to have 15 or more swarms a year interrupting air operations, in the past year it has had just three.
28. Why did Shertzer contact Repasky in 2012?
A. To let him help with baggage loading.
B. To learn how to refuel a Delta aircraft.
C. To ask him to help relocate the honeybees.
D. To seek advice on how to raise honeybees.
29. What is Hackenberg’s purpose of traveling around?
A. To come to crops’ rescue. B. To do research on CCD.
C. To build more new hives. D. To search for bee colonies.
30. What do “swarm traps” mentioned in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Baggage carts. B. Beehives.
C. The wings of an aircraft. D. Runway taxi lights.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Fun facts about honeybees B. Colony Collapse Disorder
C. The latest in airport jobs: beekeeper D. Unwanted visitors at an airport
D
The first solar cell capable of powering everyday electrical equipment was made in the 1950s at Bell Labs in New Jersey. Back then the silicon-based(基于硅的) panels were hugely expensive and turned just 6% of sunlight into electricity. Since then, costs have come down dramatically and today’s silicon solar cells can turn up to 22% of sunlight into power. But they’re nearly maxed out in terms of efficiency. Now, perovskites(钙钛矿) offer the potential for dramatic increases in power output, and they could ultimately replace silicon altogether.
Researchers at Oxford PV, a company spun out of the University of Oxford, made a major breakthrough in 2018. By coating silicon with perovskites they achieved 28% efficiency. The company believes it can eventually reach 40%, or higher. “If we want to make all new power generation about solar photovoltaics(光伏), then we need to keep driving the price down,” Henry Snaith, professor of physics at the University of Oxford and co-founder of Oxford PV, said. “One way to do that is to keep pushing the efficiency or power output up, and this is where perovskites really come into play.”
Perovskites were discovered in 1839. Oxford PV uses a synthetic(合成的) version, made from inexpensive materials that are present on the Earth in large quantities, while other companies use variations of the original mineral, collectively called perovskites. As well as improved solar efficiency, they work better than silicon in the shade, on cloudy days or even indoors. Perovskites can be printed using an inkjet (喷墨的) printer and can be as thin as wallpaper. Oxford PV hopes perovskites will eventually replace silicon entirely.
Last month, Saule Technologies’ new factory in Warsaw began printing perovskite solar cells using inkjet printers. Early next year, it will start supplying Swedish construction company Skanska Group. “The material is set to be a game changer in the energy field, because it works in every lighting condition,” said Saule Technologies co-founder Olga Malinkiewicz.
32. What can we say about silicon-based panels?
A. They are incredibly expensive.
B. B. They have been abandoned totally.
C. They have existed for almost 50 years.
D. They are relatively low in power output.
33. What does Snaith try to stress in paragraph 2?
A. The cost of perovskite solar cells.
B. A key role to be played by perovskites.
C. The applications of solar photovoltaics.
D. A new way to replace solar photovoltaics.
34. What is one of the advantages of perovskites?
A. They exist widely on the Earth.
B. They can be written on like paper.
C. They can be printed with 3-D printers.
D. They perform well in poor lighting conditions.
35. What was expressed in Malinkiewicz’s words?
A. Approval. B. Worry. C. Shock. D. Disappointment.

Discoveries in Greenland indicate that Vikings ( 维 京 人) lived there for hundreds of years, trading with the European continent before they disappeared. 36 In 980 C.E., Erik the Red headed farther west when he was driven away from Iceland for some reason. He set sail for land that was visible west of Iceland. Three years later, he returned to Iceland and convinced hundreds of others to join him in settling in this new country. Some 25 boats set out for what Erik the Red had called Greenland. 37
Settling in Greenland posed an enormous challenge. Shelter, food, and clothing were, of course, essential to survival. There were no trees large enough to produce wood for housing. These settlers had to build homes of driftwood, stone, and sod (草皮). The summer was too short to grow grain crops, so they farmed domesticated animals imported from Europe and mainly relied on secondary products, such as milk and cheese. 38 The settlers usually wore clothes made of the fur of wild animals.
At some point during the fourteenth century, Greenland’s climate grew colder. Glaciers (冰川) began moving slowly over the land, bringing with them a runoff of sand, mud, and stones. These things slowly robbed the settlers of valuable grassland. 39 Recent evidence shows that their diet shifted from land-based food to sea products. Like their relatives in Norway, the Vikings in Greenland tried to take advantage of the sea. Soon, the percentage of their food taken from the sea had risen to 80 percent.
40 According to Danish archaeologist (考古学家) Jette Arneborg, they struggled to adapt to the increasingly difficult conditions. As the weather worsened, they may have abandoned their settlements and returned to Iceland.
A. Who were the Vikings?
B. Besides, they netted fish and hunted deer.
C. However, the Greenlanders learned to adapt.
D. Sports were also widely practiced by the Vikings.
E. Well, what became of these early settlers in Greenland?
F. Only 14 boats survived the seas, and about 450 people set foot ashore.
G. A central figure in this story was Erik the Red, who grew up in Iceland.

Writing has become so dominated by a small number of global cultures that those6,000-7,000 languages are written in perhaps 140 scripts. Moreover, at least a third of the world’s remaining alphabets are endangered－they’re no longer taught in schools, 56 used by only a small number of people.
The importance and 57 (urgent) of saving endangered languages have been recognized for two decades or more. Reviving endangered writing systems, however, is a much 58 (new) event. Nine years ago, when I 59 (start) the Endangered Alphabets Project, script revival was essentially ___60 unexplored field. At first, my aim was to document script loss by carving texts in wood and then raise awareness by 61 (set) up exhibitions of the carvings and giving talks and workshops. Over time, the Endangered Alphabets team has partnered 62 preservation and revival groups in a dozen countries 63 (create) interesting items such as endangered alphabet rubber stamps so kids can have fun.
It’s still much too early to know which projects will have an effect, or 64 those effects might be. Our partner schools in Bangladesh, though, report 65 (great) improved success rates among their children, who in many cases are learning traditional languages.

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。
Be a true runner
For me it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve because my camp counselors(辅导员)and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners. My body tensed as heard a counselor call “Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!” It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. “Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!”
“You’re in. Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, “When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程)on the field, just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark... Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill’s heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, “Back off!”
I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees. I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
In a moment, Bill was up again and running.
Paragraph 2:
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
In a moment, Bill was up and running. I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely. I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out. Naturally, my pace slowed down. Just at the moment, Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back. Convinced that I was no longer a loser, I refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again. Injected with confidence, I headed for the finishing line. The gun cracked again, announcing the last 200 meters. I closed my eyes, threw my head back and ran with my last ounce of strength, in the direction of the dream line.
Paragraph 2:
I didn’t know when I crossed the line. I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst, which signaled the birth of the champion. I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counsellor gathering around me. “We have won the race! We are the champion!” they shouted and cheered, throwing me in the air. Showered with hugs and applause and whistles, I felt a surge of gaiety sweeping over me. To me, the race meant more than a champion; it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential. Just as Hemingway put it, “The true nobility is superior to your former self.”

M: I started college when I was nineteen and I qualified as an engineer about four years later when I graduated.
W: And have you always lived in Pennsylvania?
M: No. I’ve lived in lots of different places. In the energy business, you live where the work is.
W: Have the local people been friendly?
M: Yes, they have. Well, most people anyway.
W: Ah, but not everyone?
M: Some people didn’t want us here in the beginning because they were worried about the environment. But the changes have been good for this place. It’s brought jobs back to Pennsylvania. So I think most people have understood how important this is …

W: Dr. Lee is the director of the National Sleep Institute. I’ve got a few questions for you about this Sleep IQ quiz.
M: OK.
W: First of all, is it true that babies dream less than adults do?
M: Well, no, they dream the same amount. They just can’t tell us about their dreams. You know, everyone dreams, but some people can’t remember any of their dreams.
W: And do women sleep more than men?
M: Oh, that’s not true. But as we get older, we need less sleep.
W: Is it true that it’s dangerous to wake up a sleepwalker?
M: No, it’s the same thing as waking someone up who’s having a dream. In fact, sleepwalkers could get hurt if you don’t wake them up. I mean, especially if they try to go downstairs or something.
W: And is it true that someone who is a sound sleeper doesn’t move during the night?
M: Oh, no. We’ve videotaped people while they’re sleeping. And you can see on the videotape that they move around all the time. And it’s true for light sleepers and heavy sleepers.
W: Some people can’t sleep at night. What’s the best cure?
M: Oh, the best cure is to reduce the stress and keep to a routine. Try to go to bed at the same time every night.

W: Well, thank you for inviting me today to talk about the clean-up campaign we organized along the beach. I understand that some of your local listeners are keen to volunteer, so let me tell you a little more about the campaign. We meet on the third Sunday of each month, whatever the weather! Anybody who wants to help clean the beach of junk should meet us at 10:00 a.m. in Sunshine Shore outside the pizza shop. People are welcome to turn up alone or in groups. We generally have around one hundred volunteers from young children to students and older people. And there’s free parking for everyone as it is Sunday, so there’s no problem there.
Don’t worry about bringing gloves or bags because we’ll bring everything for volunteers. They also give you biscuits and refreshments at the end of the 30 minutes. So the only things you need to remember are your comfortable shoes and sunscreen cream!
I think that’s about that. I really hope a large number of you listeners will be able to come this Sunday, June 18th.

A
Feeling stressed out by the fast pace of life? Meet three ocean-going animals having mastered the art of slow living.
Bowhead Whale
In 2007, a harpoon(鱼叉) head was found in a recently killed bowhead whale. That brand of harpoon hadn’t been manufactured since 1885－indicating that the whale survived a whaler’s attack and went on to live for another 130 years.
Dating of the whale revealed that they can live to be over 200 years old, making them the longest-lived mammal. They remain disease-free until much late in their lives. Researchers discovered changes in their DNA related to cancer, aging, and cell repair. This suggests that they have evolved special resistance to age-related disease and decline.
Orange Roughy
The orange roughy takes its sweet time growing and maturing. They only start to reproduce between 20 and 40 years of age, but can live to be older than 150 years. Mucus(粘液) outflowing from channels on their heads and bodies can detect tiny changes in water pressure, helping them excel at the art of enemy avoidance.
“Ming” the Ocean Quahog(北极蛤)
Born during the Ming Dynasty, this quahog met its end when researchers were clearing the seabed. By counting its growth bands and dating the carbon in its shell, scientists determined that this clam settled onto the seafloor approximately 507 years ago. Ming, and other long-lived clams like it, don’t appear to grow old－amounting to a 90-year-old human with the body and mind of a 20-year-old.
21. What can we know about Bowhead whale?
A. They can live for over 200 years.
B. They live on after being attacked.
C. They give birth to babies at 40 years old.
D. They are the longest-lived marine animals.
22. What was the longevity secret of Ming the Ocean Quahog?
A. Keeping healthy. B. Avoiding being eaten.
C. Settling onto the seafloor. D. Staying young at heart.
23. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Ming the Ocean Quahog will not grow old.
B. Ming’s shell provided information of its age.
C. Orange roughy have special resistance to disease.
D. Orange roughy survive by changing water pressure.
B
One night, a hedgehog(刺猬) was scanning the sky with his telescope, when he saw what seemed to be a spaceship flying to the moon. When he managed to properly focus on it, he found out that it was a craft belonging to an unfortunate Martian who seemed to have had an accident, and had to make an emergency landing on the moon.
The hedgehog realised that surely only he himself had seen this, so he decided to try to save the Martian. He called together a few animals to help. They couldn’t think what to do, so they called for more and more animals to join in. In the end, practically everyone in the forest was involved. It occurred to them that if they stood on top of each other, they could build a big tower and perhaps reach the moon.
That proved extremely difficult, and most animals ended up having had a finger in their eye, someone’s foot in their ear, and numerous bumps on the head. However, after much perseverance, they finally reached the moon and rescued the Martian. Most unfortunately, while he was coming down the tower of animals, the bear couldn’t help sneezing. Oh, the disgusting, invisible, tiny…!
The whole tower crashed to Earth with a great din including howls, roars, and other assorted animal cries. Seeing all this, the Martian thought that the animals would be very angry with him because they would blame it all on him. But it was just the opposite. As they recovered from the fall, the animals jumped and clapped with joy, happy to have achieved something so difficult together. The whole day was spent partying.
The Martian observed everything, and when he returned to his planet the other Martians were astonished at what had happened. And so it was those simple and helpful animals that taught the Martians the importance of working together, joyfully, in a team. …
24. What can we learn about the rescue?
A. The animals celebrated for their success.
B. The hedgehog got all the animals to help.
C. The Martian had intended to travel to the moon.
D. The tower crashed because of the animals’ being exhausted.
25. What does the underlined word “din” mean in paragraph four?
A. Anger. B. Force. C. Noise. D. Relief.
26. What might happen to the Martians in the future?
A. They will like to travel alone.
B. They will live on their planet joyfully.
C. They will always be ready for teamwork.
D. They will no longer travel through space.
27. What is probably the moral of the story ?
A. There is strength in numbers.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. One good turn deserves another.
D. Satisfaction from cooperation counts.
C
In August 2012, when thousands of honeybees landed on the wings of a Delta aircraft headed to New York, interrupting refueling and baggage loading, Ben Shertzer, wildlife administrator at Pittsburgh International Airport, turned to master beekeeper Steve Repasky. Shertzer learned from Repasky that honeybee numbers have sharply declined in recent years. Perhaps, thought Shertzer, the airport could host some hives (蜂箱).
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), first reported in 2006 by Pennsylvania beekeeper David Hackenberg, occurs when the vast majority of bees in any given colony — generally worker bees — die out unexpectedly. Therefore, Hackenberg transports his hives across the country to pollinate(对...授粉) crops: They might travel from Pennsylvania to California, and then, a few months later, those same hives might be moved to Maine for the blueberry crop. In 2006, Hackenberg had left 400 hives in a field to pollinate Brazilian pepper trees; when he returned to the hives a month later, all but 36 hives had been abandoned. The bees had just disappeared, leaving behind the queen and a few baby bees. By 2013, more than 10 million bee colonies had been lost worldwide.
Shertzer and Repasky approached airport management about placing hives in 2013, but were told that the program didn’t fit the airport’s vision. It wasn’t until Christina Cassotis came on board as CEO in 2015 that things turned around. The airport currently has 110 colonies. The program actually benefits the airport as well as the honeybees.
“Swarming(成群飞行) is reproductive behavior,” says Repasky. “In the spring, a healthy colony will divide into two parts, and will take off in a swarm to locate a new home, traveling upwards of a mile or more. While they’re searching, they’ll stop to rest on the first solid object they can find, whether it’s the wing of an aircraft, a runway taxi light, or a baggage cart.” To prevent this behavior, Shertzer and Repasky have placed 15 “swarm traps” around the airfield offering the bees alternative landing spots. It’s worked: Whereas the airport used to have 15 or more swarms a year interrupting air operations, in the past year it has had just three.
28. Why did Shertzer contact Repasky in 2012?
A. To let him help with baggage loading.
B. To learn how to refuel a Delta aircraft.
C. To ask him to help relocate the honeybees.
D. To seek advice on how to raise honeybees.
29. What is Hackenberg’s purpose of traveling around?
A. To come to crops’ rescue. B. To do research on CCD.
C. To build more new hives. D. To search for bee colonies.
30. What do “swarm traps” mentioned in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Baggage carts. B. Beehives.
C. The wings of an aircraft. D. Runway taxi lights.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Fun facts about honeybees B. Colony Collapse Disorder
C. The latest in airport jobs: beekeeper D. Unwanted visitors at an airport
D
The first solar cell capable of powering everyday electrical equipment was made in the 1950s at Bell Labs in New Jersey. Back then the silicon-based(基于硅的) panels were hugely expensive and turned just 6% of sunlight into electricity. Since then, costs have come down dramatically and today’s silicon solar cells can turn up to 22% of sunlight into power. But they’re nearly maxed out in terms of efficiency. Now, perovskites(钙钛矿) offer the potential for dramatic increases in power output, and they could ultimately replace silicon altogether.
Researchers at Oxford PV, a company spun out of the University of Oxford, made a major breakthrough in 2018. By coating silicon with perovskites they achieved 28% efficiency. The company believes it can eventually reach 40%, or higher. “If we want to make all new power generation about solar photovoltaics(光伏), then we need to keep driving the price down,” Henry Snaith, professor of physics at the University of Oxford and co-founder of Oxford PV, said. “One way to do that is to keep pushing the efficiency or power output up, and this is where perovskites really come into play.”
Perovskites were discovered in 1839. Oxford PV uses a synthetic(合成的) version, made from inexpensive materials that are present on the Earth in large quantities, while other companies use variations of the original mineral, collectively called perovskites. As well as improved solar efficiency, they work better than silicon in the shade, on cloudy days or even indoors. Perovskites can be printed using an inkjet (喷墨的) printer and can be as thin as wallpaper. Oxford PV hopes perovskites will eventually replace silicon entirely.
Last month, Saule Technologies’ new factory in Warsaw began printing perovskite solar cells using inkjet printers. Early next year, it will start supplying Swedish construction company Skanska Group. “The material is set to be a game changer in the energy field, because it works in every lighting condition,” said Saule Technologies co-founder Olga Malinkiewicz.
32. What can we say about silicon-based panels?
A. They are incredibly expensive.
B. B. They have been abandoned totally.
C. They have existed for almost 50 years.
D. They are relatively low in power output.
33. What does Snaith try to stress in paragraph 2?
A. The cost of perovskite solar cells.
B. A key role to be played by perovskites.
C. The applications of solar photovoltaics.
D. A new way to replace solar photovoltaics.
34. What is one of the advantages of perovskites?
A. They exist widely on the Earth.
B. They can be written on like paper.
C. They can be printed with 3-D printers.
D. They perform well in poor lighting conditions.
35. What was expressed in Malinkiewicz’s words?
A. Approval. B. Worry. C. Shock. D. Disappointment.

Discoveries in Greenland indicate that Vikings ( 维 京 人) lived there for hundreds of years, trading with the European continent before they disappeared. 36 In 980 C.E., Erik the Red headed farther west when he was driven away from Iceland for some reason. He set sail for land that was visible west of Iceland. Three years later, he returned to Iceland and convinced hundreds of others to join him in settling in this new country. Some 25 boats set out for what Erik the Red had called Greenland. 37
Settling in Greenland posed an enormous challenge. Shelter, food, and clothing were, of course, essential to survival. There were no trees large enough to produce wood for housing. These settlers had to build homes of driftwood, stone, and sod (草皮). The summer was too short to grow grain crops, so they farmed domesticated animals imported from Europe and mainly relied on secondary products, such as milk and cheese. 38 The settlers usually wore clothes made of the fur of wild animals.
At some point during the fourteenth century, Greenland’s climate grew colder. Glaciers (冰川) began moving slowly over the land, bringing with them a runoff of sand, mud, and stones. These things slowly robbed the settlers of valuable grassland. 39 Recent evidence shows that their diet shifted from land-based food to sea products. Like their relatives in Norway, the Vikings in Greenland tried to take advantage of the sea. Soon, the percentage of their food taken from the sea had risen to 80 percent.
40 According to Danish archaeologist (考古学家) Jette Arneborg, they struggled to adapt to the increasingly difficult conditions. As the weather worsened, they may have abandoned their settlements and returned to Iceland.
A. Who were the Vikings?
B. Besides, they netted fish and hunted deer.
C. However, the Greenlanders learned to adapt.
D. Sports were also widely practiced by the Vikings.
E. Well, what became of these early settlers in Greenland?
F. Only 14 boats survived the seas, and about 450 people set foot ashore.
G. A central figure in this story was Erik the Red, who grew up in Iceland.

Writing has become so dominated by a small number of global cultures that those6,000-7,000 languages are written in perhaps 140 scripts. Moreover, at least a third of the world’s remaining alphabets are endangered－they’re no longer taught in schools, 56 used by only a small number of people.
The importance and 57 (urgent) of saving endangered languages have been recognized for two decades or more. Reviving endangered writing systems, however, is a much 58 (new) event. Nine years ago, when I 59 (start) the Endangered Alphabets Project, script revival was essentially ___60 unexplored field. At first, my aim was to document script loss by carving texts in wood and then raise awareness by 61 (set) up exhibitions of the carvings and giving talks and workshops. Over time, the Endangered Alphabets team has partnered 62 preservation and revival groups in a dozen countries 63 (create) interesting items such as endangered alphabet rubber stamps so kids can have fun.
It’s still much too early to know which projects will have an effect, or 64 those effects might be. Our partner schools in Bangladesh, though, report 65 (great) improved success rates among their children, who in many cases are learning traditional languages.

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。
Be a true runner
For me it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve because my camp counselors(辅导员)and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners. My body tensed as heard a counselor call “Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!” It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. “Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!”
“You’re in. Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, “When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程)on the field, just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark... Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill’s heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, “Back off!”
I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees. I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
In a moment, Bill was up again and running.
Paragraph 2:
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
In a moment, Bill was up and running. I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely. I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out. Naturally, my pace slowed down. Just at the moment, Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back. Convinced that I was no longer a loser, I refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again. Injected with confidence, I headed for the finishing line. The gun cracked again, announcing the last 200 meters. I closed my eyes, threw my head back and ran with my last ounce of strength, in the direction of the dream line.
Paragraph 2:
I didn’t know when I crossed the line. I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst, which signaled the birth of the champion. I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counsellor gathering around me. “We have won the race! We are the champion!” they shouted and cheered, throwing me in the air. Showered with hugs and applause and whistles, I felt a surge of gaiety sweeping over me. To me, the race meant more than a champion; it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential. Just as Hemingway put it, “The true nobility is superior to your former self.”

W: Hi, Tony. Just a moment, there were a couple of calls for you while you were out. A woman named Melissa phoned. She says she can’t make it to the meeting tomorrow.
M: Any other messages?
W: Yeah. Someone called about the apartment in the town center. His name is Jackie, but he didn’t leave his number.
M: Didn’t Angelica call me?
W: Yeah, she called about the party tonight. She wanted you to phone her back. And a guy called Simon said he would return your call at around 5:00.

M: Newspapers and magazines often refer to the word “SOHO” — S-O-H-O, Soho. But I don’t know what it means. Could you explain it to me?
W: Well, SOHO means “small office and home office”. With the use of computers, more and more people work at their homes. They needn’t go to their offices.
M: Are computers that useful?
W: Yes, they are. People can work faster and better with the help of computers. But they can also make a lot of people lose their jobs.
M: So in this modern society, it’s necessary for us to learn more so as not to fall behind.
W: Quite right.

W: How long have you worked for your company?
M: For twenty-five years. Since I left college.
W: So, when did you study engineering?
M: I started college when I was nineteen and I qualified as an engineer about four years later when I graduated.
W: And have you always lived in Pennsylvania?
M: No. I’ve lived in lots of different places. In the energy business, you live where the work is.
W: Have the local people been friendly?
M: Yes, they have. Well, most people anyway.
W: Ah, but not everyone?
M: Some people didn’t want us here in the beginning because they were worried about the environment. But the changes have been good for this place. It’s brought jobs back to Pennsylvania. So I think most people have understood how important this is …

W: Dr. Lee is the director of the National Sleep Institute. I’ve got a few questions for you about this Sleep IQ quiz.
M: OK.
W: First of all, is it true that babies dream less than adults do?
M: Well, no, they dream the same amount. They just can’t tell us about their dreams. You know, everyone dreams, but some people can’t remember any of their dreams.
W: And do women sleep more than men?
M: Oh, that’s not true. But as we get older, we need less sleep.
W: Is it true that it’s dangerous to wake up a sleepwalker?
M: No, it’s the same thing as waking someone up who’s having a dream. In fact, sleepwalkers could get hurt if you don’t wake them up. I mean, especially if they try to go downstairs or something.
W: And is it true that someone who is a sound sleeper doesn’t move during the night?
M: Oh, no. We’ve videotaped people while they’re sleeping. And you can see on the videotape that they move around all the time. And it’s true for light sleepers and heavy sleepers.
W: Some people can’t sleep at night. What’s the best cure?
M: Oh, the best cure is to reduce the stress and keep to a routine. Try to go to bed at the same time every night.

W: Well, thank you for inviting me today to talk about the clean-up campaign we organized along the beach. I understand that some of your local listeners are keen to volunteer, so let me tell you a little more about the campaign. We meet on the third Sunday of each month, whatever the weather! Anybody who wants to help clean the beach of junk should meet us at 10:00 a.m. in Sunshine Shore outside the pizza shop. People are welcome to turn up alone or in groups. We generally have around one hundred volunteers from young children to students and older people. And there’s free parking for everyone as it is Sunday, so there’s no problem there.
Don’t worry about bringing gloves or bags because we’ll bring everything for volunteers. They also give you biscuits and refreshments at the end of the 30 minutes. So the only things you need to remember are your comfortable shoes and sunscreen cream!
I think that’s about that. I really hope a large number of you listeners will be able to come this Sunday, June 18th.
