When I first met Gerge, I was in my early 30s. My children were just entering schl life, allwing me t escape frm endless husewrk. At 65 Gerge had recently left wrk and was seeking a rewarding hbby fr his glden years. Fr bth f us, we lved painting and we met at a lcal TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was t last fr 25 years — until the day he died.
Gerge was an energetic man wh lived life t the full. He lved his family, his friends, and was lyal and utspken. As the nly male in a painting class full f wmen, Gerge quite enjyed it. He ruled the rst (栖息处) and we were his hens. He lked after all his hens.
He tk t painting with passin and devtin. He carefully hused his expensive painting tls in a bx — a red metal tl bx — built t bear hard kncks. Nt fancy, but smth and shiny and very red.
In 2004, I learned that he was very ill and went t visit him. “He’s very cnfused and may nt recgnize yu,” Penny, his daughter, warned. But as I bent ver, Gerge pened his eyes. “Betty!” he said, and with surprising strength, held my hand. “I’ve always been hping t leave my bx t yu. I’m afraid I can’t paint anymre, and yu have the best talent and are mst likely t use it,” he said. With tears in my eyes, I accepted the gift. He died tw days later.
Tday I still use much f his equipment kept in the bx. The bx is still in gd shape, very red. The riginal shp sticker is still firmly in place althugh the price has wrn ff. But that’s all right because t my mind sme things, like friendship, are beynd price.
24. Why did Gerge g t painting class?
A He wanted t please his children.B. He wanted t enjy schl life again.
C. He wanted t make new friends.D. He wanted t develp a wrthwhile hbby.
25. What’s the authr’s purpse f writing the text?
A. T intrduce a ppular hbby.B. T describe a precius friendship.
C. T remember a red tl bx.D. T appreciate her friend’s help.
26. Which wrd can describe Gerge accrding t the text?
A. Hnest.B. Brave.C. Caring.D. Lucky.
27. What can we learn frm the text?
A. The tl bx is well kept by the authr.

Until nw the usual way we identify dgs is with micr-chipping (微芯片). But a cmpany frm Suth Krea has develped an app, PetNw. On this phne, I’ve gt the new app, which is nw using the dg’s nse print t identify a dg, just like yu can use a fingerprint with a human t make identificatin.
“Nw shw me yur nse, buddy.” I take pictures f the dg’s nse. “Then wh is the dg? Is it Emma, Lenard, Karl, r Ethan?”
The app analyses the data in the clud and tells me that this is Emma. It’s shwing me that Emma’s been reprted as missing and where she was reprted missing. I can share my lcatin with the wner, s they can be reunited.
Unlike a micr-chip, which culd be cut ut f a stlen dg, yu can’t really remve a dg’s nse withut spiling the dg. And by using the phne’s camera t scan, anyne in thery can check a stray dg withut any specialist equipment.
Recently, I’ve spken t PetNw t find ut why they’d settled n nse prints fr dg recgnitin. There may be paws r ears, but sme dgs really hate shwing up, sharing their paws r their ears. Nse is actually expsed all the time. And after a dg becme six mnths ld the nse print stays there their entire life, s we believe that it is the best part fr identificatin.
PetNw hpes its app will becme mandatry in Suth Krea t help reduce the number f dgs that are abandned by pet wners. T d that they will need the supprt f gvernment and a huge marketing push, s that everybdy including peple wh dn’t wn a dg must install the app and knw hw t use it.
28. Which can be inferred frm the passage?
A. Dgs’ prints are very similar.
B. Micr-chipping a dg is ut f date.
C The app requires specialist equipment.
D. The app can map ut a lst dg’s riginal place.
29. Why did PetNw settle n nse prints fr dg recgnitin?
A. Because a micr-chip can be cut ut.
B. Because sme dgs hate shwing up.
C. Because their nse is easy t be phtgraphed.
D. Because their nse print never changes since they were brn.
30. Which f the wrd best explains the underlined wrd “mandatry” in the last paragraph?
A. Safe.B. Required.
C Prfessinal.D. Easy.
31. What’s the best title f the passage?
A. Taking Pictures fr Dg’s NseB. PetNw Saves Abandned Dgs
C. Nse Print Technlgy n the WayD. PetNw Identifies Dgs with Nse Print

Harvard researchers have created a tugh, lw-cst, bidegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects’ hard uter shells. The material’s inventrs say it has a number f pssible uses and smeday culd prvide a mre envirnmentally friendly alternative t plastic. The material, made frm shrimp (虾) shells and prteins prduced frm silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strng.
A majr benefit f the material is its bidegradability. Plastic’s tughness and flexibility represented a revlutin in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. Decades later, hwever, plastic’s very durability (耐用性) is raising questins abut hw apprpriate it is fr ne-time prducts such as plastic bags, r shrt-lived cnsumer gds, used in the hme fr a few years and then thrwn int a landfill where they will stay fr centuries. What is the pint f making smething that lasts 1,000 years?
Shrilk nt nly will degrade in a landfill, but its basic cmpnents are used as fertilizer (肥料), and s will enrich the sil.
Shrilk has great ptential, the inventrs said. Materials frm which it is made are plentiful in nature, fund in everything ranging frm shrimp shells, insect bdies t living plants. That makes shrilk lw cst, and its mass prductin pssible if it is used fr prducts demanding a lt f material.
Wrk n shrilk is cntinuing in the lab. The inventrs said the material becmes flexible when wet, s they’re explring ways t use it in wet envirnments. They’re als develping simpler prductin prcesses, which culd be used fr nn-medical prducts, like fr cmputer cases and ther prducts inside the hme. They’re even explring cmbining it with ther materials, like carbn fibers, t give it new prperties.
32. Paragraph 1 f the passage is mainly abut shrilk’s ________.
A. remarkable designB. majr featuresC. interesting nameD. smart inventrs
33. What has becme a cncern abut plastic?
A. Using it prperly.B. Prducing it cheaply.
C. Develping its prperties quickly.D. Evaluating its cntributins fairly.
34. Accrding t the inventrs, shrilk has great ptential partly because ________.
A. it can help plastic last lngerB. it can be fund in living things
C. its mass prductin has been realizedD. its raw materials are abundant in nature
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the passage?
A. Recent Prgress in Envirnmental PrtectinB. Benefits f Insects in Scientific Research
C. A Pssible Alternative t PlasticD. The Harm f One-time Prducts

I’m afraid I can’t paint anymre, and yu have the best talent and are mst likely t use it,” he said. With tears in my eyes, I accepted the gift. He died tw days later.
Tday I still use much f his equipment kept in the bx. The bx is still in gd shape, very red. The riginal shp sticker is still firmly in place althugh the price has wrn ff. But that’s all right because t my mind sme things, like friendship, are beynd price.

Until nw the usual way we identify dgs is with micr-chipping (微芯片). But a cmpany frm Suth Krea has develped an app, PetNw. On this phne, I’ve gt the new app, which is nw using the dg’s nse print t identify a dg, just like yu can use a fingerprint with a human t make identificatin.
“Nw shw me yur nse, buddy.” I take pictures f the dg’s nse. “Then wh is the dg? Is it Emma, Lenard, Karl, r Ethan?”
The app analyses the data in the clud and tells me that this is Emma. It’s shwing me that Emma’s been reprted as missing and where she was reprted missing. I can share my lcatin with the wner, s they can be reunited.
Unlike a micr-chip, which culd be cut ut f a stlen dg, yu can’t really remve a dg’s nse withut spiling the dg. And by using the phne’s camera t scan, anyne in thery can check a stray dg withut any specialist equipment.
Recently, I’ve spken t PetNw t find ut why they’d settled n nse prints fr dg recgnitin. There may be paws r ears, but sme dgs really hate shwing up, sharing their paws r their ears. Nse is actually expsed all the time. And after a dg becme six mnths ld the nse print stays there their entire life, s we believe that it is the best part fr identificatin.
PetNw hpes its app will becme mandatry in Suth Krea t help reduce the number f dgs that are abandned by pet wners. T d that they will need the supprt f gvernment and a huge marketing push, s that everybdy including peple wh dn’t wn a dg must install the app and knw hw t use it.
28. Which can be inferred frm the passage?
A. Dgs’ prints are very similar.
B. Micr-chipping a dg is ut f date.
C. The app requires specialist equipment.
D. The app can map ut a lst dg’s riginal place.
29. Why did PetNw settle n nse prints fr dg recgnitin?
A. Because a micr-chip can be cut ut.
B. Because sme dgs hate shwing up.
C. Because their nse is easy t be phtgraphed.
D. Because their nse print never changes since they were brn.
30. Which f the wrd best explains the underlined wrd “mandatry” in the last paragraph?
A. Safe.B. Required.
C. Prfessinal.D. Easy.
31. What’s the best title f the passage?

【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“PetNw hpes its app will becme mandatry in Suth Krea t help reduce the number f dgs that are abandned by pet wners. T d that they will need the supprt f gvernment and a huge marketing push, s that everybdy including peple wh dn’t wn a dg must install the app and knw hw t use it.(PetNw希望其应用程序在韩国成为mandatry，以帮助减少宠物主人遗弃的狗的数量。要做到这一点，他们需要政府的支持和巨大的市场推广，这样每个人，包括没有养狗的人，都必须安装该应用程序并知道如何使用它)”可知，PetNw希望其应用程序得到政府的支持和巨大的市场推广，每个人都必须安装这款应用程序，程序才会变成强制性的。由此推知，划线单词表示“强制性的”，与required同义。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“On this phne, I’ve gt the new app, which is nw using the dg’s nse print t identify a dg, just like yu can use a fingerprint with a human t make identificatin.(在这部手机上，我安装了一个新的应用程序，它现在使用狗的鼻印来识别狗，就像你可以用人的指纹来识别一样)”可知，本文主要介绍了应用程序PetNw，它可以通过狗的鼻纹对狗进行识别。由此可知，D项“PetNw用鼻纹识别狗”为最佳标题。故选D。

Harvard researchers have created a tugh, lw-cst, bidegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects’ hard uter shells. The material’s inventrs say it has a number f pssible uses and smeday culd prvide a mre envirnmentally friendly alternative t plastic. The material, made frm shrimp (虾) shells and prteins prduced frm silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strng.
A majr benefit f the material is its bidegradability. Plastic’s tughness and flexibility represented a revlutin in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. Decades later, hwever, plastic’s very durability (耐用性) is raising questins abut hw apprpriate it is fr ne-time prducts such as plastic bags, r shrt-lived cnsumer gds, used in the hme fr a few years and then thrwn int a landfill where they will stay fr centuries. What is the pint f making smething that lasts 1,000 years?
Shrilk nt nly will degrade in a landfill, but its basic cmpnents are used as fertilizer (肥料), and s will enrich the sil.
Shrilk has great ptential, the inventrs said. Materials frm which it is made are plentiful in nature, fund in everything ranging frm shrimp shells, insect bdies t living plants. That makes shrilk lw cst, and its mass prductin pssible if it is used fr prducts demanding a lt f material.
Wrk n shrilk is cntinuing in the lab. The inventrs said the material becmes flexible when wet, s they’re explring ways t use it in wet envirnments. They’re als develping simpler prductin prcesses, which culd be used fr nn-medical prducts, like fr cmputer cases and ther prducts inside the hme. They’re even explring cmbining it with ther materials, like carbn fibers, t give it new prperties.
32. Paragraph 1 f the passage is mainly abut shrilk’s ________.
A. remarkable designB. majr featuresC. interesting nameD. smart inventrs
33. What has becme a cncern abut plastic?
A. Using it prperly.B. Prducing it cheaply.
C. Develping its prperties quickly.D. Evaluating its cntributins fairly.
34. Accrding t the inventrs, shrilk has great ptential partly because ________.
A. it can help plastic last lngerB. it can be fund in living things
C. its mass prductin has been realizedD. its raw materials are abundant in nature
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the passage?
A. Recent Prgress in Envirnmental PrtectinB. Benefits f Insects in Scientific Research
C. A Pssible Alternative t PlasticD. The Harm f One-time Prducts
