The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples of the Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.
The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal (木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.
To come to these conclusions, the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soil from different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants — they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.
Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from a collapse.
As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”
24．How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?
A．They always destroyed the rainforest.
B．They had a side effect on the rainforest.
C．They never lived in the area of the forest.
D．They had been in harmony with the forest.
25．What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?
A．The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.
B．The evidence of human influence on the forest.
C．The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.
D．The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.
26．What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Sudden decrease. B．Bad management.
C．Poor preservation. D．Over development.
27．What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?
A．Native peoples should protect the rainforest.
B．We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.
C．More science research should be done on rainforest.
D．We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.

Chinese painting, the flower of Chinese culture, is distinguished by a spirit and an atmosphere all of its own, entirely different from Western painting. It is as different from Western painting as Chinese poetry is different from Western poetry. That difference is hard to grasp and express. It has a certain tone and atmosphere, visible in Western painting, but essentially different and achieved by different means. It shows a certain economy of material, marked by the many blank spaces, an idea of composition determined by its own harmony and marked by a boldness and freedom of the brush which impresses the onlooker in an unforgettable manner.
Somehow the picture before us has undergone an inner process of transformation in the artists mind, giving us only a completely satisfying whole, so true to life and yet so different from it. The design is more obvious. The artist has presented it to us only as appears to him, and can be understood by others. It does not try to paint all before one’s eyes, and it leaves a great deal to the onlooker’s imagination. Sometimes only the tip of a plum branch is given in the whole picture and left there as perfect.
This artistic tradition did not come by chance. Its characteristics may be most conveniently summed up, I think, in the world lyricism, and this lyricism came from a certain type of human spirit and culture. For we must remember that Chinese painting is closely related, in spirit and technique, to Chinese calligraphy and Chinese poetry. Calligraphy gave it its technique, and Chinese poetry lent it its spirit.
It was Wang Wei, born in 699, a first-class landscape painter himself, who first introduced into painting the spirit and technique of Chinese poetry, with its impressionism, its lyricism, and its emphasis on atmosphere. Thus the “father of the southern school,” which makes Chinese painting and deservedly famous, was a man nurtured in the Chinese poetic spirit.
Later on, in the eleventh century, under the influence of Song scholars like Su Dongpo (1035--1101), Chinese painting reached still greater simplicity and subjectivity. Su Dongpo even painted a bamboo tree without its joints, and when someone protested, he replied by asking, “Did the bamboo grow by adding one joint to another?” Su, who was great writer and poet, specialized in painting bamboos, and his bamboo was like his “running script”, a splash of ink without colours.
The best way of understanding Chinese painting is to study these influences which went into the building of that peculiar tradition.
28．According to Para. 1, Chinese painting is different from Western painting because____________.
A．it leaves much space for poems B．its painters enjoy great freedom
C．it presents simplicity to a degree D．its tone and atmosphere is visible
29．From Para. 2, we know that Chinese painters____________.
A．tend to transform reality into puzzles B．usually show how they view the subject
C．produce works beyond their imagination D．guide people to perceive the world as a whole
30．From the examples of Wang Wei and Su Dongpo, we know____________.
A．influential poets are great painters B．how Chinese culture has developed
C．what abilities are needed to create paintings D．Chinese traditional art forms are linked tightly
31．Why does the author write the passage?
A．To trace the root of Chinese culture. B．To introduce different painting techniques.
C．To show the features of traditional Chinese art. D．To present how to appreciate Chinese painting
D
A new study has found that more than 30 percent of babies as young as 6 months old are using smartphones. The survey asked parents twenty questions about when their children were first exposed to mobile media devices. What makes everyone so alarmed is that the study has found that children are being exposed to mobile devices earlier than ever before.
But before we all jump on the judgment train, let’s stop and think about how much more ubiquitous smartphones are now than they were even five years ago. It’s not that parents have gotten lazier, which some reporters have suggested. It’s that more parents have access to smartphones that they can use to show family pictures to entertain a baby or play music that a toddler can dance with.
What the study didn’t address was how much time these babies are spending looking at smartphones. Nor did it assess what these babies are looking at. Is it 5 minutes of music in the grocery store while Mom or Dad gets the food into the cart? Or is it 30 minutes of watching videos while a parent sacks out on the couch? There is a big difference between the two scenarios (场景).
By the numbers, the study found that among babies younger than 1 year old, 52 percent had watched television on mobile devices, 36 percent had been allowed to scroll the screen, 15 percent had used apps and 12 percent had played video games. Around 25 percent of kids had already called someone at this age.
The American Academy of Pediatrics frowns upon any screen time for children under the age of two. But I don’t think we need to necessarily panic. I did not have a smartphone when my girls were this age but I can tell you right now that if I had owned one, there would have been many occasions when I would have gladly handed over my phone to play music or a video or even a video game if it would have calmed a screaming baby. They would have turned out just fine.
32．What would be the answer to one of the questions according to the study?
A．Some babies use smartphones very early.
B．Smartphones bring children convenience.
C．Children are clever enough to use electronic devices.
D．Science and technology are developing rapidly.
33．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” mean?
A．Unique. B．Uncommon. C．Non-existent. D．Universal.
34．Two questions are asked in Paragraph 3 in order to tell us ________.
A．babies can use smartphones as they like
B．watching videos is interesting for babies
C．it doesn’t matter what babies are looking at
D．using smartphones too long is improper for babies
35．Which of the following does the author agree with about the babies under 1 year old?
A．Nearly half of them had used apps on smartphones.
B．Half of them had watched television on smartphones.
C．About a quarter of them had made a telephone call to others.
D．None of them had been allowed to use smartphones.

根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over years, there’s one thing I’ve collected more than any other: books. They slowly piled up (堆积) around until I made a decision—to clear away some of them. 36 But with the possibility for an international move, it seemed unreasonable to keep ones that I wouldn’t be able to carry.
Then what was left were my favorites. Instead of taking over every corner in my home, my collection now includes two organized shelves. 37
I have some books set in New York. They take me back to the rush of early morning rides or of summer weekends. My San Francisco collection mainly includes Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City. I pull them off the shelf when I feel disappointed in the place I now call home, and I let them take me to a happier view of this city. 38 When I lived there, I never found myself reading books set there. But since I moved away, they’ve become my favorites.
39 That’s what my pile of library books mainly have. I enjoy reading about places that I’d hardly want to call home, and I often try to read a novel or two ‘set in a location I’m going to. After all, the point of reading is exploration; it is a form of travel, a way to go somewhere new through written words.
The books that have earned their place on my shelf, however, are those I share a history with. 40 While you can’t always go home, a book can bring you there.
A．It was really a painful activity.
B．Then there’s my row of Miami books.
C．I still read books that are set in places I haven’t lived in, of course.
D．I didn’t mean to keep the books connected with my previous experience.
E．I never know when I’ll find myself missing a place, so I stay with the books.
F．When reading them, I’m taken back to places where I once lived and the person I was.
G．With this new organization, I could see most books are novels set in places I’ve lived.

Shocking 56 (extreme) strong soccer teams like Argentina and Germany in their group games, Asian teams have been a breath of fresh air at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
For Chinese fans 57 (cheer) on these underdogs, it’s a case of mixed 58 (emotion). Each victory has also been 59 reminder of their own national team’s absence from the tournament.

67．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。
When asked about why she chose to be a cadet (学员) firefighter, Ava Smith talked about her father’s action four months ago. “The girl he saved is going to live a whole life because of him. It’s incredible!” she said.
Jonathan Smith, and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were driving on the 1.4-mile-long, two-lane Route 90 bridge, which spans (横跨) the shallow waters of Assawoman Bay.
Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the scream of tyres.
Not far ahead of them, a black pickup truck (小卡车) was sliding from one lane to the other. It crashed into a barrier, turned around like endless, and came to rest hanging over the edge of the bridge. Smith hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path, but too late: he ran into a BMW directly ahead of him.
Smith stopped the car. “Ava, are you OK?” he asked. She was obviously shocked, but unhurt.
He ran to the BMW. “Are you OK?” he asked the driver. She nodded, too terrified to speak.
And then another scream came from the pickup. The truck bed hung out past the railing (栏杆), about 10 meters above the waters of the bay. The driver’s door was pushed open and a man climbed out. He dropped to the ground, then ran to the railing. The man pointed down, saying something in Spanish to Smith. In the water was a car seat. Next to it was a girl, about two years old: pink dress, brown hair, brown eyes, floating on her back, kicking and shouting.
Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the baby girl rolled over onto her stomach. Smith waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t. Maybe he was in shock.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Ava!” Smith yelled, removing his shoes. “Stay by the car!”

1．C
W: Mr. Smith, why did you give me a zero on the math test? I know I got all of these answers right. Look!
M: You did get the answers right, but you wrote them on the test sheet, not the answer sheet.
2．B
M: Hey, Tina. What will you and your husband do this weekend?
W: We are going to watch a street dance contest. What about you?
3．C
W:Mr.Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month.
M: Did you fill out a request form?
4．A
M: Is $150 enough for the watch?
W: I’m afraid not. 50 more dollars should be given.
5．C
W: Have you seen my book?
M: I remember you had it in your hand when you left the classroom.
W: But then we had lunch in the canteen and went to the library. We’ve been back in the dormitory for hours.
6．C 7．A
M:Hi, Linda.
W:Oh, hi, John. Haven’t seen you for a few days. What are you doing these days?
M:Well,I’m doing a very interesting job. I began to train dogs. My dogs are really actors, you know, the dogs you see in movies and TV shows.
W:Cool!How do you do it?
M:The dogs have to learn signals for certain basic skills, like sit, stop, and lie down. After that, you teach them the tricky things.
W:That’s really fantastic! But how do you make them learn things?
M:Well, you mainly need patience. You repeat and repeat the commands. And they get a reward every time they get it right.
W:Maybe I should consider training my own dog to do these tricks as well. It must be a lot of fun.
8．B 9．A 10．B
11．C 12．B 13．C 14．A
W: Are you doing anything this holiday, Jake?
M: Hmm… You know, in the past two months, our boss has been giving me too much pressure. So I'm going snowboarding with Mike.
W: Didn't you guys go bungee jumping last week?
M: Yeah, and we plan to go cave diving in a couple of weeks.
W: I didn't know you were into extreme sports. I think you're so brave.
M: But for me, it's about pushing myself to the limit.
W: Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?
M: Sure. There's always a danger of getting hurt, but we don't do these sports competitively. It's just for fun. I like trying new things and seeing how far we can push the boundaries of the sport. Do you want to come with us sometime?
W: Me? I'm not really the adventurous type. I'd rather stay at home and shop online.
M: You never know, Grace. You might like it. After cave diving, we'll probably try climbing.
W: Oh, that doesn't sound too bad. I've done some climbing before.
M: I should tell you that we plan on going ice climbing.
W: Oh. In that case, I think I'll pass. Have fun!
M: Thanks, and let me know if you change your mind.
15．B 16．C 17．A
M：Angela, what made you decide to fly around the world in a helicopter?
W：I’m 57 now! I’m sorry I didn’t do this wonderful thing many years ago. Actually, the main purpose in doing this was to collect $500, 000 for sick children by getting different companies to pay us money for each kilometer that we flew.
M：And what about preparing for the trip?
W：Well, it took five months to plan. I made the trip three years ago with my teacher who taught me to fly.
M：And what was the trip like?
W：It was really exciting flying over so many different countries. But we weren’t able to spend much time sightseeing because we only stopped to get water and camp. We had to spend two days in Thailand because of an engine problem, and that was the longest time we spent in a certain place. But the trip was worth our time and effort.
18．B 19．C 20．A
M: I’m an archaeologist. As a child, I was excited by the stories of scientists digging for dinosaur eggs. But an exhibition of old coins first encouraged me to take a serious interest in the past. Then, later, I started watching TV documentaries about the Egyptian pyramids. After university, deciding what historical period to specialise in wasn’t easy for me. Although I had mainly studied the Stone Age, some older friends had become experts on the Iron Age, and I thought very seriously about doing the same. My final choice, though, was the Bronze Age, and I certainly don’t regret it. When an important archaeological site has been identified, I am heavily involved, and the part of the process I enjoy most is to dig for buried objects. It can be physically tiring, although that doesn't put me off. After a find, I take objects back to the lab to analyse in detail. The real challenge comes much later. When I give lectures, students, and even professionals, will often argue with my conclusions!
21．C 22．A 23．B
21．细节理解题。根据“Bull Run Regional Park”部分中的“Each cabin($85 to $95 per night) accommodates six people ...”可知，每间客房（小屋） 每晚85至95美元不等，可容纳6人。那么一个10人团，要用两间，即至少85X2=170美元。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Cherry Hill Park部分中的“Given its proximity (邻近) to the District, this family-owned campground is particularly appealing to visitors who are traveling to the area via recreational vehicle. It also offers buses to the subway and ...” 对于其邻近地区，这个家庭营地特别吸引那些通过休闲娱乐车前往该地区的游客。它还提供通往地铁的巴士，...。由此可知，Cherry Hill Park旅游点适合乘坐公共交通工具的人，故选A。

24．D 25．B 26．A 27．B
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, recent research suggests that the native peoples of the Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. (然而最近的研究发现 Putumayo地区的土著人帮助保护了雨林，使雨林5000年保持不变)”可知，Putumayo地区的土著人和雨林是和谐相处的。故选D项。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land.(这项发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的研究观察了秘鲁亚马逊普图马约地区的土壤样本，以发现人类是如何影响土地的)”可知，研究者想要在亚马逊森林找到人类影响森林的证据。故选B项。
26．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from a collapse.(土著人对雨林的管理好像对保护其生物多样性至关重要，并且会继续在阻止雨林collapse的战斗中起着重要作用)”可知，土著人对雨林的管理对雨林是有好处的，而collapse指的是雨林会发生的坏事，故推测collapse与A项“sudden decrease(突然的减少)”词义相同。故选A项。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段Nigel Pitman叙述 “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.(既然这片特殊的森林仍然受到当地人的保护，我希望研究能让我们所有人明白支持他们的工作是多么重要)”可知，Nigel Pitman认为支持当地人保护这片特殊的森林（亚马逊雨林）是很重要的。由此推断，Nigel Pitman认为我们应该帮助保护亚马逊雨林。故选B项。
28．C 29．D 30．D 31．C
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It shows a certain economy of material, marked by the many blank spaces, an idea of composition determined by its own harmony and marked by a boldness and freedom of the brush which impresses the onlooker in an unforgettable manner.(它显示了一定的材料经济，以许多空白为标志，一种由其自身的和谐决定的构图理念，以笔触的大胆和自由为标志，这给旁观者留下了令人难忘的印象)”可知，中国画不同于西方绘画，因为中国画在一定程度上表现出简单。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Somehow the picture before us has undergone an inner process of transformation in the artists mind, giving us only a completely satisfying whole, so true to life and yet so different from it.(不知怎的，摆在我们面前的这幅画在艺术家的头脑中经历了一个内在的转变过程，只呈现给我们一个完全令人满意的整体，既如此逼真，又与现实截然不同)”可知，中国画家引导人们以一个整体来看待世界。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“For we must remember that Chinese painting is closely related, in spirit and technique, to Chinese calligraphy and Chinese poetry. Calligraphy gave it its technique, and Chinese poetry lent it its spirit. (因为我们必须记住，中国画在精神和技术上与中国书法和中国诗歌密切相关。书法赋予了它技巧，中国诗歌赋予了它精神)”；第四段中“It was Wang Wei, born in 699, a first-class landscape painter himself, who first introduced into painting the spirit and technique of Chinese poetry, with its impressionism, its lyricism, and its emphasis on atmosphere. (生于699年的王维，本人就是一位一流的山水画画家，他首先将中国诗歌的精神和技巧引入绘画，包括印象主义、抒情主义和对气氛的强调)”以及第五段中“Later on, in the eleventh century, under the influence of Song scholars like Su Dongpo (1035--1101), Chinese painting reached still greater simplicity and subjectivity. (后来，到了11世纪，在苏东坡（1035—1101）等宋人的影响下，中国画更趋于简单和主观性)”可知，从王维和苏东坡的例子中，我们知道中国的传统艺术形式是紧密相连的。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Chinese painting, the flower of Chinese culture, is distinguished by a spirit and an atmosphere all of its own, entirely different from Western painting. (中国画是中国文化的一朵花，它有自己独特的精神和氛围，完全不同于西方绘画)”结合文章主要介绍了中国画的特点以及中国画在精神和技术上与中国书法和中国诗歌密切相关的关系。可推知，作者写这篇文章是为了展示中国传统艺术的特点。故选C。
32．A 33．D 34．D 35．C
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The survey asked parents twenty questions about when their children were first exposed to mobile media devices. What makes everyone so alarmed is that the study has found that children are being exposed to mobile devices earlier than ever before.(这项调查询问了父母关于他们的孩子第一次接触移动媒体设备的20个问题。这项研究发现，儿童接触移动设备的时间比以往任何时候都要早，这让所有人都感到震惊)”可知，调查了家长们二十个有关他们的孩子们初次接触移动媒体设备的时间的问题。这次研究警醒了每一个人，孩子们比以前接触到移动媒体设备的时间大大提前了。故选A。
33．词义猜测题。根据所猜词后一句“It’s that more parents have access to smartphones that they can use to show family pictures to entertain a baby or play music that a toddler can dance with.(更重要的是，越来越多的父母有机会使用智能手机，他们可以用智能手机向婴儿展示家庭照片，让他们高兴，或者为蹒跚学步的孩子播放可以跳舞的音乐)”可知，人们拥有越来越多的机会使用智能手机，即智能手机变得普遍起来。由此推知，所猜词的意思为“普遍的”，与universal同义。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Nor did it assess what these babies are looking at. Is it 5 minutes of music in the grocery store while Mom or Dad gets the food into the cart? Or is it 30 minutes of watching videos while a parent sacks out on the couch? There is a big difference between the two scenarios (它也没有评估这些婴儿在看什么。是在杂货店里妈妈或爸爸把食物放进购物车时的5分钟音乐吗？还是父母在沙发上休息时看30分钟的视频？这两种情况有很大的不同)”可知，这个研究并没有说明婴儿看手机的时间，所以两个场景的差异就是时间的差异。由此可以推知，长时间地使用手机对孩子们来说不合适。故选D。
35．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“By the numbers, the study found that among babies younger than 1 year old, 52 percent had watched television on mobile devices, 36 percent had been allowed to scroll the screen, 15 percent had used apps and 12 percent had played video games. Around 25 percent of kids had already called someone at this age. (通过数据，研究发现，在1岁以下的婴儿中，52%的人曾在移动设备上看电视，36%的人被允许滑动屏幕，15%的人使用过应用程序，12%的人玩过视频游戏。大约25%的孩子在这个年龄就已经给别人打电话了)”可知，在1岁以下的婴儿这个年龄段有大约四分之一的孩子用手机打过电话。故选C。
36．A 37．G 38．B 39．C 40．F
36．根据上文“They slowly piled up (堆积) around until I made a decision—to clear away some of them.(它们慢慢地堆积起来，直到我决定清除其中的一些)”和下文“But with the possibility for an international move, it seemed unreasonable to keep ones that I wouldn’t be able to carry.(但考虑到我可能会搬到国外，保留那些我无法携带的东西似乎是不合理的)”可知，作者想要清理积累的书籍，但考虑到自己回搬到国外，似乎留着它们不合理。由此可知，空处内容与下文是转折关系，指出要清理积累的书籍比较困难。A项“It was really a painful activity.(这真的是一种痛苦的活动)”符合题意，与下文构成转折关系，it指“清理书籍”这件事。故选A。
37．空处位于段末应承接上文。根据上文“Then what was left were my favorites. Instead of taking over every corner in my home, my collection now includes two organized shelves.(然后剩下的是我的最爱。我的收藏品不再占据我家的每个角落，而是包括两个有序的架子)”可知，作者把剩下的书籍分类放好。由此推知，空处应陈述这样分类的结果。G项“With this new organization, I could see most books are novels set in places I’ve lived.(有了这个新的组织方法，我可以看到大多数书都是以我生活过的地方为背景的小说)”符合题意，“this new organzation”指上文“my collection now includes two organized shelves”。故选G。
38．根据上文“My San Francisco collection mainly includes Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City. I pull them off the shelf when I feel disappointed in the place I now call home, and I let them take me to a happier view of this city.(我San Francisco的藏书主要包括阿米斯特德·莫平的《城市故事集》。当我对这个我现在称之为家的地方感到失望时，我会把它们从书架上拿下来，让它们带我去看这个城市更快乐的风景)”结合上段提到有两个书架且大部分书都是以作者生活过的地方为背景的小说推知，空处陈述应陈述另一个书架放着有关何地的书籍。B项“Then there’s my row of Miami books.(然后还有我那排迈阿密的书)”符合题意。故选B。
39．根据下文“I enjoy reading about places that I’d hardly want to call home, and I often try to read a novel or two ‘set in a location I’m going to. After all, the point of reading is exploration; it is a form of travel, a way to go somewhere new through written words.(我喜欢阅读那些我几乎不想称之为家的地方，我经常试着在我要去的地方读一两本小说。毕竟，阅读的目的是探索；这是一种旅行方式，是一种通过书面文字去新地方的方式)”可知，除了阅读以自己生活过的地方为背景的小说，作者也阅读关于自己未曾居住过的地方的书籍。C项“I still read books that are set in places I haven’t lived in, of course.(当然，我仍然会读那些以我没有住过的地方为背景的书)”符合题意。故选C。
40．根据上文“The books that have earned their place on my shelf, however, are those I share a history with.(然而，那些在我的书架上赢得一席之地的书，正是那些与我有着共同历史的书)”可知，作者喜欢的书籍的内容大多与自己的经历有关，由此推知，阅读这些书时，作者会回想起自己的过去。F项“When reading them, I’m taken back to places where I once lived and the person I was.(当我阅读它们时，我会被带回我曾经生活过的地方和我曾经的样子)”符合题意，them指代上文的books。故选F。
41．C 42．D 43．A 44．B 45．C 46．D 47．C 48．A 49．B 50．D 51．A 52．C 53．C 54．B 55．D

66．Dear Mike,
Learning that recently you’ re bothered by the addiction to purchasing with Credit Pay and a heavy financial burden in repayment, I’m writing to offer some suggestions.
Honestly, I totally disapprove of overspending. Not only does it drive us to buy unnecessary things, but also distracts our attention from study, which should be your present focus. If I were you, I would budget reasonably and devote myself to study.
I sincerely hope you can take my suggestions into careful consideration.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

“Ava!” Smith yelled, removing his shoes. “Stay by the car!” Climbing onto the railing, he eyed the shallow water. “Better less than 3 feet deep.” he thought to himself. As if mustering up all his courage, Smith jumped off with belly down. A moment later, he was bouncing off the sandy bottom and luckily, unhurt! The little girl was less than 1 meter away. Smith swam to her in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. “Come on, stay with me!” A sense of panic crept over this middle-aged man. Seconds later, composing his thoughts, Smith recalled the first aid measures learned years ago.
Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and beat her back hard. Some water came streaming down the baby’s mouth. But still no breath. Another whack on the back and then Smith felt the little fingers gripping him around the neck. Her eyes were opened now. Smith hugged her to shield her from the cold. Just then a family on a small boat pulled up and took Smith and the little girl to the waiting ambulance near a dock. The toddler suffered a broken shoulder but was otherwise uninjured. However, on seeing Ava, Smith hugged her tighter than ever. When interviewed later, Smith admitted the fear flashing across his mind but the desire to save a life took the upper hand. That heroic deed not only kept one girl from dying, but fueled the passion of another girl.
