Throughout my childhood, I constantly dreamed of being an only child-having no one around to fight with, to share with, to grab the remote control away from me in the middle of a “big game.” But I have an elder sister, whom I have always called “Kicki,” instead of her real name Christie, because I used to have trouble pronouncing the “r” and “s”.

I started playing basketball in primary school. My dad was the coach of my team, and my mom kept score. So my sister, not old enough to stay home alone, was forced to come to all my games. I remember looking toward the stands for my mother's approval and seeing my sister's face, confused. It was obvious that she wasn't excited, but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.

On the car ride home, my parents and I would relive the game. My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence, not knowing how or when to enter the conversation.  Often, she would say, “Good game, Brad.” I would smile and thank her but never took it seriously. She couldn't possibly know whether I had played well or not.

It wasn't until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was, and I was referred to as “Christie's little brother.” I played basketball in high school, and although Christie wasn't forced to attend my games anymore, she still came to cheer me every week. In the last game of the last season, she came with a large group of friends. Printed on her shirt, in big bright red letters, were the words “BRAD'S SISTER.” Suddenly I was embarrassed, not for her presence, but for my previous attitude to her praise.

Kicki left for college after that game. I finally have the remote control all to myself. However, watching TV alone has turned out to be boring. I went to visit her at college during a weekend, and as I stood outside her dorm, waiting for her to come out, a friend of hers whom I didn't know walked past me and asked, “Hey, aren't you Christie's brother?” I smiled broadly and said proudly, “Yeah, I am. I'm Christie's brother.”

4、How did Brad feel about being an only child when he was young?

A.Boring. B.Awesome. C.Tough. D.Awful.

5、Why did Christie go to Brad's games when he was in primary school?

A.She hoped to know more about Brad.

B. She was interested in basketball games.

C.She was too young to be left alone at home.

D. She wanted to spend more time with her family.

6、Why did Brad feel embarrassed according to the last but one paragraph?

A.He treated Christie's praise lightly before.

B.He forgot Christie's presence at his last game.

C. He saw the big bright red letters on Christi's shirt.

D.He received unwanted attention from Christie's friends.

7、What can be inferred about Christie?

A.She was proud of Brad.

B. She didn't like watching TV.

C.She enjoyed Brd's calling her Kicki.

D.She seldom went home during college.

Researchers from Texas A&M University have developed a new bioremediation technology（生物整治技术）using plant-based material and fungi（真菌） that could clean up per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance, also called “forever chemicals” or PFAS, are found in soil, water, and even human and animal blood and may be harmful to humans and other species. They are found just about everywhere, from food wrappers to clothing. These chemicals may affect the immune system and may cause liver damage. Extremely high exposures to PFAS may also be linked to cancer.

“PFAS do not degrade easily in the environment and are poisonous even in a very low concentration,” said Susie Dai, associate professor from Texas A&M. “They must be removed and destroyed to prevent human exposure and negative impacts on the ecosystem. PFAS are so stable and they can occur in water in a very low concentration and you have to concentrate them and then destroy them.”

The only way to actually get rid of these “forever chemicals” is by burning them, which is a long and expensive process. But Texas A&M researchers have found a new way to use a plant-based material that adsorbs the pollutants. As explained by ScienceDirect, adsorption is “The use of solids for removing substances from either gas or liquid.” The adsorbent material is then consumed by microbial fungi. The team recently published their findings for the process framework, which they call RAPIMER, in Nature.

“The plant's cell wall material serves as a framework to adsorb the PFAS,” Dai explained. “Then this material and the adsorbed chemical serve as food for a microbial fungus. Then it's gone, and you don't have the disposal problem.”

This sustainable PFAS clean-up system could be mass-produced for commercial use, leading to a better way to remove these chemical pollutants from the environment. It could also come in handy as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers creating PFAS thresholds（阈值） to its water quality standards.

8、What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?

A.PFAS's existing forms. B.PFAS's doubtful origins.

C. PFAS's potential dangers. D.PFAS's wide applications.

9、What did Susie Dai say about PFAS?

A.They are unstable.

B.They degrade easily in the environment.

C.They survive longer in water than in the air.

D. They are poisonous even in a low concentration.

10、What happens after the plant-based material adsorbs the pollutants?

A.The material gets eaten. B. The material becomes solid. 

C.The material falls into small pieces. D.The material goes on to adsorb fungi.

11、What is the author's attitude towards the plant-based material?

A.Indifferent. B.Worried. C.Positive. D.Reserved.

Recently, a big change quietly took place in agriculture. Yet neither drought nor frost is ever a concern for growers of plants currently grown inside large greenhouses. Vegetables are increasingly being grown indoors, using an advanced form of growing called controlled environment agriculture, a method that has the potential to help feed the planet, even while it threatens to further warm it.

Controlled environment agriculture has many advantages. Crops are not subject to unexpected extreme weather. Furthermore, these greenhouses can produce more food with fewer pesticides and less water. With computer-controlled temperatures and nutrients, the plants grow with less water and produce much higher yields. Above all, the produce can be bred for flavor, instead of for tolerance to heat, rain and long-distance transportation.

The carbon footprint of any given greenhouse tomato can vary quite a bit depending on energy sources, surrounding temperatures and natural light. But various studies have estimated that, on average, the production of a pound of tomatoes in an American or northern European greenhouse releases 3 to 3.5 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere. That is about 6 times the caron footprint of a field tomato, even taking into account the emissions from refrigerated trucks that often transport field vegetables hundreds or even thousands of miles to reach consumers. Greenhouses, by contrast, can be built near major population centers.

Nevertheless, in a rapidly warming world, should we be increasing agriculture's contribution by moving some of it indoors? “We have little choice,” say advocates. “With the global population expected to grow by 25 percent to nearly 10 billion people by 2050, food production will need to increase by 60 percent to 100 percent. With freshwater supplies and land suitable for farming decreasing, and droughts getting worse due to climate change, where will this additional food come from?”

12、What does the underlined part “a big change” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A.The rapid increase of population.

B. The threatens of warming the planet.

C.The way to deal with natural disasters.

D. The tendency to grow vegetables indoors.

13、What does controlled environment agriculture mainly focus on?

A.Making crops taste good.

B.Planting crops with less water.

C.Growing crops in extreme weather.

D.Transporting crops from a long distance.

14、What do we know about American greenhouse tomatoes?

A.They are not high-yielding crops.

B.They are not really environmentally friendly.

C.They are grown far from population centers.

D.They are mainly exported to norther Europe.

15、Which of the following statements may the advocates agree with?

A. Greenhouse planting is a necessary temporizing measure.

B. Greenhouse planting is tailored for small-population nations.

C. Greenhouse planting can help spread the idea of healthy eating.

D. Greenhouse planting should be stopped from warming the world.

二、七选五

16、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。

Criticism hurts even when it's constructive. ①______Do you pretend you didn't hear or do you argue back to defend yourself? In fact, there are actually other ways of handling criticism! The next time someone gives you feedback, try doing the following things instead.

Don't react immediately.

Getting angry can happen really fast. Sometimes all it takes is a misplaced word or the wrong one. While it's normal to feel this way, try to cool off and stay calm. ②______After all, you don't want to say something you'll end up regretting later!

Assess the criticism.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to take a quick step back and assess the criticism: who said it and why? ③______Or are they just trying to be mean? Taking a step back allows you to determine if perhaps the criticism has some real value, you hadn't seen before or if it's better to just brush off the comment.

Don't take it personally.

Remember that sometimes people do things not to attack you personally, but to vent anger or frustration. So calm down and be as understanding as you can. ④______Meanwhile, let the other person know that their criticism was uncalled for.

⑤______

If the criticism does actually have some truth to it, then the best thing to do is figure out how you can use it to improve. Get straight to the point and ask the person which part of your work they'd improve and how. That way you not only show you are interested in doing things better, but you are also involving the person who criticized you.

A. So how do you react?

B.Use it to your advantage.

C.Polish your work carefully.

D.How about negative feedback catching us by surprise?

E. Give yourself some time to process what you've heard before reacting.

F. Are they trying to help you, but did not communicate their point of view nicely?

G.Choosing to take the right path is doing yourself a favor and not getting angry.

Although, she says, whether people   13  through on that desire is influenced by lots of other   14  , such as what food is available at the time.

Social media is one place where visual and social cues   15  . Undoubtedly there is (a/an)   16   that if friends in your social network post  17  about particular types of food, it could lead you to  18  them, for better or for worse.

39、答案：A Charity Book Fair

To collect money for children with disabilities, our school organized a charity book fair from April 3 to April 7, every afternoon from 5 to 8 at the students' hall.

Before the event, the principal delivered an inspiring speech calling on students to actively participate in this public welfare activity. Then, the students responded passionately. Some volunteered to donate a lot of books. And others boosted the morale of these helpful students by visiting the book fair and buying the books they are interested in.

The activity was highly spoken of. Not only did it provide a chance for the students to pay less for the books they desired, but it also allowed them to contribute to children with disabilities.
