There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes as light suspicion that time has changed you both， and thus the relationship. But books don't change，people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true， the older I get， the more I feel time has wings. But with reading， it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now， because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.There are three books I reread annually. The first， which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964， it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的) ， an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another isAnnie Dillard's book， herpoetic1975ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar's Save Twilight：Selected Poems.While It end to buy a lot of books， these three were given to me as gifts， which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that， while money is indeed wonderful and necessary， rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember， it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.21. Why does the author like rereading?A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.B. It's a window to a whole new world.C. It's a substitute for drinking with a friend.D. It extends the understanding of oneself.22. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?A. It's a brief account of a trip.B. It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.C. It's a record of a historic event.D. It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.23.What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. debt   B. reward   C. allowance   D. face value24. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He loves poetry.   B. He's an editor.C. He's very ambitious.  D. He teaches reading.BAccording to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research， both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份) ， it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits， the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first， 95 undergraduate women wereindividually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began， each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state， the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit， taking more food than they normally would have. However， they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test， in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case， she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test：the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces. The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant isgoing to eat more， so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However， we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion， I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot， I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim， why can't I?25. What is the recent study mainly about?A. Food safety.   B. Movie viewership.C. Consumer demand.  D. Eating behavior.26.What does the underlined word “bean poles” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Big eaters.   B. Overweight persons.C. Picky eaters.   D. Tall thin persons.27.Why did the researchers hire the actor?A. To see how she would affect the participants.B. To test if the participants could recognize her.C. To find out what she would do in the two tests.D. To study why she could keep her weight down.28.On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph?A. How hungry we are.  B. How slim we want to be.C. How we perceive others.  D. How we feel about the food.CEverybody， at some point in their lives， has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted， or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure， but how you get backup after being hit.Once， a young schoolboy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die， for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive， he would be lame throughout his life.But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor， he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down， he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there， lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home， when he was not in bed， he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day， he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass， dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence， raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence， firmly determined. He did this everyday， with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination， he did develop the ability to standup， then to walk on and off， then to walk by himself and then to run.He began to walk to school， and then run to school， to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.In February 1934， in New York City's Madison Square Garden， this young man who was not expected to survive， who would surely never walk， who could never hope to run—this determined young man， Dr. Glenn Cunningham， ran the world's fastest mile.A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself， Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many， and his story， a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one， to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.29.The first paragraph is intended to__________A. present an argumentB. make preparations for statementC. arouse readers’ interestD. function as a brief introduction30. What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?A. Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.B. Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.C. There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.D. Glenn could live a normal life with the upper half of his body.31. What do we know about Glenn?A. Glenn took recovery exercise in hospital.B. Glenn inspired people with his moving story.C. Glenn won the first place in Marathon.D. Glenn organized a track team in college.32. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Stand up after failure   B. Strengthen determinationC. Go after dreams    D. Face difficulty bravelyDPlastic-eating wormsHumans produces more than 30 million tons of plastic each year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(填埋场) ， and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it， but a new study suggests that an answer may lies in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can breakdown polyethylene， which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100waxwormsona commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours， and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams， or almost 3%of it. To confirm that the worm's chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown， the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films . 14 hours later the films had lost 13%of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes(酶) from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017. Federica Bertocchini， co-author of the study， says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to breakdown plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture， but the basic bond in polyethylene， the carbon-carbon bond， is there as well， ”she explains， “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond.”Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University di Tennessee, who was not involved in the study， says it is not surprising that such worms can breakdown polyethylene. But compared with previous studies， she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step， Debruyn says， will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物) ?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the enzyme to breakdown plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic”.33.What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might__________A. help to raise worms   B. help make plastic bagsC.be used to clean the oceans  D.be produced in factories in future35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present away to breakdown plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。A great life doesn't happen by accident.
