The Museum of London Docklands has a great play area called “Mudlarks.” Everything is themed around life in the London docks, so big kids can weigh goods or put tea sets into a model ship while the smaller kids get to move around and play with large foam(泡沫) bananas and London buses or pretend to drive a DLR (Docklands Light Railway) train.

B
Matthew Whitaker has been blind since birth. His parents were told that he only had a 50% chance of survival, and he experienced 11 operations before he was even two years old.
Despite being faced with these terrible situations, he survived. Not only that, he exhibited an excellent gift for playing the piano; by the time he was 3 years old, he was playing two-handed piano compositions and writing his own songs without ever having a teacher. At the age of 5, he even could play the songs completely after hearing them one time.
Dalia Sakas, the director of New York?s Filomen M. D?Agostino Greenberg Music School, recalls the moment she decided to take Matthew on as a student when he was five years old, making him the youngest person to ever attend the school. Now only 18 years old, Whitaker has since toured the world, headlined famous sites from Carnegie Hall to Kennedy Centre, and won a number of music awards.
Such is the height of Whitaker?s talent that he caught the attention of Dr Charles Limb, a neurologist who also happens to be a fellow musician. Dr Limb was attracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker?s brain, so with the permission of the musician and his family, Whitaker took two MRI exams—first while being exposed to different stimuli, including music, and then while he played on a keyboard.
What Dr Limb was surprised to find was that Whitaker?s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质) in order to build other neurological(神经系统的) pathways. Even when Whitaker was simply listening to one of his favourite music, his entire visual cortex lit up.
When Dr Limb presented Whitaker with his brain scans showing how his brain lit up when he listened to music, the musician was amazed. “I didn?t even know that that was happening.” When asked about why his brain was inspired in such a way, he simply said “I love music”.
( )24. What can we learn about Matthew Whitaker from Para.3?
A. He was the youngest disabled piano player in the school.
B. Dalia Sakas helped him tour the world to play the piano.
C. He had visited a lot of tourist attractions by the time he was 18.
D. He has achieved great success in music when he is just eighteen.
( )25. What was Dr Limb probably interested in about Matthew?
A. His brain?s reaction to music.
B. The terrible condition of Matthew.
C. The special structure of his brain.
D. The wonderful performance of Matthew.
( )26. What do you know about the result of Whitaker?s brain scans?
A. It showed that Whitaker was just a common boy.
B. Dr Limb and Whitaker both felt unexpected about it.
C. Dr Limb thought that it wasn?t reasonable and complete.
D. It explained how Whitaker remembered the songs after listening.

D. An 18-year-old Piano Player Helps Scientists with Music

Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. That?s not because it?s a particularly breezy country; it has pretty ordinary average wind speeds. The reason the Danes now get 47% of their electricity from wind, with more to come, comes down to a combination of history and policy.
First, the history: Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with and engineered early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So it?s not surprising that Denmark spent money developing wind power early, beginning at a national level in the 1970s. In the 1980s, due to a strong grassroots movement disagreeing with nuclear power plants, Denmark increased production before many other countries were even considering it.
Denmark has also had significant government support for wind-energy projects, as well as support from the country?s technology-focused universities. Even back in 2002, the country was taking climate change warnings seriously, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20 percent, which it did via renewable energy investment and implementation.
Some of the world?s largest companies in the area—including Vestas, which builds turbines, and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects—are Danish, so the country has an impact beyond its borders.
The great impact of Denmark?s wind-energy business is important because it?s a small country, so while an almost 50% rate of electricity from wind is admirable, it?s also small in terms of overall global impact.
While Denmark gets almost half of its electricity needs covered from 5,758 megawatts(MW) of capacity, Spain?s 23,000 MTW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it?s a much bigger country. China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW, and the US comes second in the world at about 96,000 MW.
Denmark?s long support for wind-energy technology and its policies made in support of wind energy have proven this approach can work to decarbonize the economy, even on a bigger scale. At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasing the percentage of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.
( )28. What can we learn about Denmark in developing wind power?
A. It has the advantage of strong winds. B. Its weather conditions are unfavourable.
C. It is experienced in this area. D. It met with strong disagreement at first.
( )29. The fourth paragraph mentions two companies to show .
A. the bright future of the wind power business
B. the fierce competition in the area of wind power
C. Denmark?s dependence on the wind-energy business
D. Denmark?s international status in the wind-energy business
( )30. Which country produces the most wind power?
A. The US. B. Denmark. C. Spain. D. China.
( )31. What is indicated in the last paragraph?
A. A hopeful future of the green economy.
B. The urgent need to develop wind energy worldwide.
C. A long way to go to full dependence on clean energy.
D. Wind energy?s leading role as a form of renewable power.
D
In an interview in 1958, Ernest Hemingway made an admission that has inspired novelists ever since: The final words of A Farewell to Arms, his wartime classic, were rewritten “39 times before I was satisfied.” Those endings have never been published together in their entirety, according to his longtime publisher, Scribner.
A new edition of A Farewell to Arms, will be released soon, including all the different endings, with early drafts of other passages in the book. The new edition concludes that the 39 endings that Hemingway referred to are really more like 47. They have been kept in the Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston since 1979. The endings are named and gathered in an appendix in the new edition, a 330-page book whose cover uses the novel?s original artwork.
For readers of Hemingway the endings are a fascinating look into how the novel could have ended with different endings. And since most modern authors produce their work on computers, the new edition also serves as an artifact, with handwritten notes and long passages crossed out, giving readers a sense of an author?s process.
Hemingway also left behind a list of titles, like World Enough and Time, Of Wounds and Other Causes, The Enchantment, etc., which are reprinted in the new edition.
Patrick Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway?s only surviving son, said that when Scribner suggested the raw material be published, he agreed. “They do give insight into how Hemingway was thinking, but no matter how much you analyze a classic bit of writing, you can never really figure out what makes talent work,” said Patrick Hemingway, who is 84.
Susan Moldow, the publisher of Scribner, says that Hemingway is an all-time strong seller. After reading the various endings, Ms Moldow added, she didn?t question the author?s decision; the ending has stood the test of time. She said, “I think we have to be glad that he chose the ending in line with his style.”
( )32. What can we know about A Farewell to Arms?
A. It is a novel written during the times of wars.
B. Scribner has never published Hemingway?s works.
C. Hemingway tried to write a satisfying ending for it.
D. Other writers rewrite their works mostly because of its success.
( )33. What can?t readers find in the new edition according to the passage?
A. 47 endings of the book.
B. Handwritten notes by Hemingway.
C. Different unused names of the book.
D. A picture of an artifact made by Hemingway.
( )34. What can we know from Patrick Hemingway?s words?
A. Publishing the new edition is thought to be a good idea.
B. It is difficult to find a writer as talented as Ernest Hemingway.
C. Readers never really understand Ernest Hemingway?s works.
D. The drafts of the novels are valued more than the novels.
( )35. What does Susan Moldow think of the final ending of the book?
A. Ironic. B. Classic. C. Average. D. Interesting.

A few years ago, a Finnish app took the mobile gaming world by storm. Its set-up was simple and its idea illogical: Angry Birds was little more than a shooting game, with birds instead of bullets and green pigs in place of targets. 36 Shortly after Angry Birds took off, audiences found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce, and then Candy Crush.
37 That was their charm, after all: They were knowingly ridiculous or illogical, an attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds, players found an escape from reality.
Fast forward to 2016, and there?s now an Angry Birds movie, here to fill you in on all the details you never wished to know.The birds have been given personalities, motives and back-stories, and so have the evil green pigs. Meanwhile, the game?s nonsense had to be made sense of due to a necessary plot for a movie. 38 Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask; to the point of even giving a brand of toy blocks its own story in 2014?s The Lego Movie. 39 Viewers no longer have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favourite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a film?s source materials: An endless flow of prequels (前传), sequels (续传) and spin-offs (衍生产品) fill in those blanks for them.
40 They?ll know. Everything will be determined for them: According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows, and that leaves him feeling isolated and, well, angry. In some ways, Hollywood has taken on the role of fan fiction writers, by expanding and exploring every corner of its fictional universes. But when these universes expand too widely, what will be left to imagine?
A. Angry Birds is not alone in having its gray areas sketched in for the big screen.
B. In its efforts to feed the audience?s curiosity, Hollywood may in fact be killing it.
C. Never mind that these games made absolutely no sense from a narrative viewpoint.
D. When children today play Angry Birds, they won?t wonder why the birds are so ill-tempered.
E. It led the way for a number of other equally silly, equally addictive games to invade cell phones everywhere.
F. Lego, by putting forward education solutions, is now striving to help kids to stand up to a problem and solve it.
G. Hollywood is actually such a power featuring its creativity, imagination and efficiency in giving rise to its entertainment products.

What?s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the word “culture”? Do you think of different groups of people across the world with various 41 and clothing? What about animals?
Sam Williams, executive director of the Macaw(金刚鹦鹉) Recovery Network in Costa Rica, helps to 42 the impact of the decline of macaw populations by taking birds that were born 43 and releasing them into the wild. But this process is very 44 .
“In a cage, you can?t 45 them to know where, when and how to find that food, or about trees with good nest sites,” Williams told ecologist and writer Carl Safina for The Guardian. In the wild, the parents would be the ones to teach them this important 46 .
This type of knowledge is known as cultural knowledge. Cultural knowledge can be 47 from the older generation to the newer one. For many species, cultural knowledge is necessary for 48 .
Culture helps animals to 49 different habitats. For example, some crows(乌鸦) have learned to put nuts in the middle of the road for cars to drive over. And in other areas, they have learned to do this at intersections so they can 50 get the food when the cars stop at red lights.
Other important parts of cultural knowledge include things like group identity, using different tools, taking different 51 routes and using different socializing methods.
These traditions can especially be seen in chimpanzee communities. Cat Hobaiter, who studies chimpanzees in Uganda, said: “It?s not just the 52 of populations of chimps that worries me. I find 53 the possibility of losing each population?s unique culture. That?s permanent.”
Culture isn?t just for 54 . Culture is also an important part of life in the wild from using tools to 55 .
( )41. A. communities B. zones C. traditions D. divisions
( )42. A. squeeze B. reduce C. wrestle D. delete
( )43. A.encaged B. enlarged C. encouraged D. ensured
( )44. A. tentative B. slow C. lame D. abrupt

The Sad Zither(锦瑟) is a famous seven-verse poem written by Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin (813—858). Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of the 56 (hard) poems to explain and translate.
In the beginning of the poem, the poet looks at his zither and recalls the death of his beloved wife. The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, 57 (be) mentioned to show his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, 58 (suggest) the sorrow and depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything 59 happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient 60 (myth) and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldn?t distinguish dream 61 reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes a cuckoo and always cries; mermaid?s tears become pearl and vapor of jade from Lantian County can be seen in the sunlight. The first three stories all create 62 sad atmosphere. Though the last legend describes a beautiful scene, it?s hard 63 (reach), implicating the hopelessness.
Actually, the four stories he chose indicate Li?s 64 (satisfy) with his life.
In the end, the poet directly expresses his point. He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he 65 (give) the chance to live those years again.

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。
On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing with his father at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. They had a wonderful day and decided to drive home to Massachusetts after a final run. They took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, where they split up to go down in different trails. When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son.However, Nicholas never showed up.
It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. What?s worse, he didn?t have any food or water with him, let alone his cell phone or other supplies. The sun began to sink and he was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about Bear Grylls? survival show Man vs. Wild that he used to watch on TV. In the show, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to help himself out. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds weren?t as strong in the valley where he stood as they were up on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
When evening came, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from nearby stream so that he wouldn?t dehydrate (脱水). Then he returned to his cave and slept.
注意:词数150左右。
Paragraph 1:
When Nicholas didn?t show up, his father realized there must be something wrong.
Paragraph 2:
The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile.

Hello, everyone,
As senior three students, we should start thinking about the future and what we want to do after graduation. As we all know, with the development of society, there are so many options available to us, but which ones are best suited to us?
Some jobs may seem very dull but are vital to society, without which people would be unable to go about their daily lives, while others can appear very exciting but are actually difficult and boring, which sometimes cause huge pressure to those involved in them.
Therefore, when we think about our future career, we are supposed to keep in mind that all of the jobs together help society function.
Thank you.
第二节 读后续写参考范文（25分）
When Nicholas didn’t show up, his father realized there must be something wrong. The father contacted the police, and a search team was gathered to look for the missing teenager. Although the weather condition was poor and the wind was still fierce, they didn’t lose hope of finding Nicholas alive. However, they knew the clock was ticking, and Nicholas stood a better chance of survival the earlier they found him. The team split up, and one of the searchers who knew the area better decided to sweep a mountain trail he used to hike up.
The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile. He went out and followed the sound to find help. He had walked for about a mile when he heard someone calling his name. He moved towards the sound, and sure enough, a few minutes later, he came face to face with the searcher. Despite feeling weak, Nicholas was generally in a good condition, and he was really happy as he was carried back to the ski resort to reunite with his family.

M: Oh, it's too bad. My watch stopped and I didn't notice it yesterday. I need to get it fixed after school.
W: Hurry up. I'll do it for you.
M: OK! Thank you.

M: I had a big argument with David yesterday. I hope he's not still mad at me.
W: What did you argue about, Robert?
M: He borrowed some money from me and I needed it back. He said he didn't have the money yet.
W: Well, he should pay you back. It's only fair.
M: Yes, but I got angry with him too quickly. He probably thought that I mistrusted him. I shouldn't have got angry.
W: Did you lend him a lot of money?
M: Not much. I had to pay an unexpected bill, so I needed the money back.
W: Well, talk to him about it next time you see him. He probably feels as bad about it as you do. Close friends sometimes have disagreements. It's nothing unusual. Neither of you said anything really nasty, did you?
M: No, we didn't. I guess you're right. We should patch things up.
W: Of course you should. You wouldn't want a silly argument to ruin a long friendship, would you?

M: Hi, Wendy.
W: Oh, John. How are you doing? Busy?
M: No, not at all. I've been a couch potato lately, killing time by watching TV. Oh, by the way, did you hear the news?
W: What news?
M: The government is going to turn the city square into an amusement park.
W: Wonderful. I am glad that the big and ugly thing will be gone.
M: Why? Don't you think the square is 100 times better than any amusement park?
W: I don't think so.
M: The square is a symbol of our city.
W: Well, I don't know if that huge and boring thing can be our symbol, what I care is that the city has dozens of parks where you can take a nice walk.
M: You're right, but don't you think that we will no longer have a peaceful and quiet place once the amusement park opens?
W: Does that matter? More importantly, the amusement park means employment.
M: Why?
W: Income. If you have income, you have money to spend, and in turn, it will create more jobs.

Nothing in this world can be achieved without effort. Mozart wasn't born a composer. He practiced the piano from the age of three and began composing by the age of five. His father, who was also his teacher, was very strict with him.
Jimi Hendrix used to walk around his house with a guitar and play up to eight hours a day. As a child, Jimi used to listen to his father's blues records alone with a broom, pretending to play it like a guitar.
Neither of them had their gift just given to them at birth. They had to work hard and discover that they had a gift. And they didn't just make do with what they had after that. They kept at it. Hendrix didn't even know how to read music, so he learned everything through listening.
Another example is Albert Einstein, the father of modern physics. He was told that he would never be a success at anything. No one wanted to hire him after he graduated from college. But he believed in himself, and he persevered with his studies on his own.
Now, I'm not trying to say that everyone can be Mozart or Einstein if they just put in a lot of time doing something. But, with effort and passion, one can achieve a great deal. Without those things, you're not going to achieve much. Luck comes to those who prepare for it. If you do something you love, don't let little bumps along the road stop you.

Top Things to Do with Kids in London
Play at the Museum of London Docklands
Address: No. 1 Warehouse, London E14 4AL, the UK
The Museum of London Docklands has a great play area called “Mudlarks.” Everything is themed around life in the London docks, so big kids can weigh goods or put tea sets into a model ship while the smaller kids get to move around and play with large foam(泡沫) bananas and London buses or pretend to drive a DLR (Docklands Light Railway) train.
Take a Picture in Kensington Gardens

B
Matthew Whitaker has been blind since birth. His parents were told that he only had a 50% chance of survival, and he experienced 11 operations before he was even two years old.
Despite being faced with these terrible situations, he survived. Not only that, he exhibited an excellent gift for playing the piano; by the time he was 3 years old, he was playing two-handed piano compositions and writing his own songs without ever having a teacher. At the age of 5, he even could play the songs completely after hearing them one time.
Dalia Sakas, the director of New York?s Filomen M. D?Agostino Greenberg Music School, recalls the moment she decided to take Matthew on as a student when he was five years old, making him the youngest person to ever attend the school. Now only 18 years old, Whitaker has since toured the world, headlined famous sites from Carnegie Hall to Kennedy Centre, and won a number of music awards.
Such is the height of Whitaker?s talent that he caught the attention of Dr Charles Limb, a neurologist who also happens to be a fellow musician. Dr Limb was attracted by what might have been going on inside Whitaker?s brain, so with the permission of the musician and his family, Whitaker took two MRI exams—first while being exposed to different stimuli, including music, and then while he played on a keyboard.
What Dr Limb was surprised to find was that Whitaker?s brain seemed to have repurposed its own disused visual cortex(视觉皮质) in order to build other neurological(神经系统的) pathways. Even when Whitaker was simply listening to one of his favourite music, his entire visual cortex lit up.
When Dr Limb presented Whitaker with his brain scans showing how his brain lit up when he listened to music, the musician was amazed. “I didn?t even know that that was happening.” When asked about why his brain was inspired in such a way, he simply said “I love music”.
( )24. What can we learn about Matthew Whitaker from Para.3?
A. He was the youngest disabled piano player in the school.
B. Dalia Sakas helped him tour the world to play the piano.
C. He had visited a lot of tourist attractions by the time he was 18.
D. He has achieved great success in music when he is just eighteen.

B. The terrible condition of Matthew.
C. The special structure of his brain.
D. The wonderful performance of Matthew.
( )26. What do you know about the result of Whitaker?s brain scans?

B. Dr Limb and Whitaker both felt unexpected about it.
C. Dr Limb thought that it wasn?t reasonable and complete.

Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina, but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world. That?s not because it?s a particularly breezy country; it has pretty ordinary average wind speeds. The reason the Danes now get 47% of their electricity from wind, with more to come, comes down to a combination of history and policy.
First, the history: Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with and engineered early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century. So it?s not surprising that Denmark spent money developing wind power early, beginning at a national level in the 1970s. In the 1980s, due to a strong grassroots movement disagreeing with nuclear power plants, Denmark increased production before many other countries were even considering it.
Denmark has also had significant government support for wind-energy projects, as well as support from the country?s technology-focused universities. Even back in 2002, the country was taking climate change warnings seriously, aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20 percent, which it did via renewable energy investment and implementation.
Some of the world?s largest companies in the area—including Vestas, which builds turbines, and Orsted, which specializes in offshore wind projects—are Danish, so the country has an impact beyond its borders.
The great impact of Denmark?s wind-energy business is important because it?s a small country, so while an almost 50% rate of electricity from wind is admirable, it?s also small in terms of overall global impact.
While Denmark gets almost half of its electricity needs covered from 5,758 megawatts(MW) of capacity, Spain?s 23,000 MTW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it?s a much bigger country. China is the leader in wind energy at 221,000 MW, and the US comes second in the world at about 96,000 MW.
Denmark?s long support for wind-energy technology and its policies made in support of wind energy have proven this approach can work to decarbonize the economy, even on a bigger scale. At the end of 2019, lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal: increasing the percentage of electricity sourced from renewable power to 100%.
( )28. What can we learn about Denmark in developing wind power?
A. It has the advantage of strong winds. B. Its weather conditions are unfavourable.
C. It is experienced in this area. D. It met with strong disagreement at first.
( )29. The fourth paragraph mentions two companies to show .
A. the bright future of the wind power business
B. the fierce competition in the area of wind power
C. Denmark?s dependence on the wind-energy business
D. Denmark?s international status in the wind-energy business
( )30. Which country produces the most wind power?
A. The US. B. Denmark. C. Spain. D. China.
( )31. What is indicated in the last paragraph?
A. A hopeful future of the green economy.
B. The urgent need to develop wind energy worldwide.
C. A long way to go to full dependence on clean energy.
D. Wind energy?s leading role as a form of renewable power.
D
In an interview in 1958, Ernest Hemingway made an admission that has inspired novelists ever since: The final words of A Farewell to Arms, his wartime classic, were rewritten “39 times before I was satisfied.” Those endings have never been published together in their entirety, according to his longtime publisher, Scribner.
A new edition of A Farewell to Arms, will be released soon, including all the different endings, with early drafts of other passages in the book. The new edition concludes that the 39 endings that Hemingway referred to are really more like 47. They have been kept in the Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston since 1979. The endings are named and gathered in an appendix in the new edition, a 330-page book whose cover uses the novel?s original artwork.
For readers of Hemingway the endings are a fascinating look into how the novel could have ended with different endings. And since most modern authors produce their work on computers, the new edition also serves as an artifact, with handwritten notes and long passages crossed out, giving readers a sense of an author?s process.
Hemingway also left behind a list of titles, like World Enough and Time, Of Wounds and Other Causes, The Enchantment, etc., which are reprinted in the new edition.
Patrick Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway?s only surviving son, said that when Scribner suggested the raw material be published, he agreed. “They do give insight into how Hemingway was thinking, but no matter how much you analyze a classic bit of writing, you can never really figure out what makes talent work,” said Patrick Hemingway, who is 84.
Susan Moldow, the publisher of Scribner, says that Hemingway is an all-time strong seller. After reading the various endings, Ms Moldow added, she didn?t question the author?s decision; the ending has stood the test of time. She said, “I think we have to be glad that he chose the ending in line with his style.”
( )32. What can we know about A Farewell to Arms?
A. It is a novel written during the times of wars.
B. Scribner has never published Hemingway?s works.
C. Hemingway tried to write a satisfying ending for it.
D. Other writers rewrite their works mostly because of its success.
( )33. What can?t readers find in the new edition according to the passage?
A. 47 endings of the book.
B. Handwritten notes by Hemingway.
C. Different unused names of the book.
D. A picture of an artifact made by Hemingway.
( )34. What can we know from Patrick Hemingway?s words?
A. Publishing the new edition is thought to be a good idea.
B. It is difficult to find a writer as talented as Ernest Hemingway.
C. Readers never really understand Ernest Hemingway?s works.
D. The drafts of the novels are valued more than the novels.
( )35. What does Susan Moldow think of the final ending of the book?
A. Ironic. B. Classic. C. Average. D. Interesting.

A few years ago, a Finnish app took the mobile gaming world by storm. Its set-up was simple and its idea illogical: Angry Birds was little more than a shooting game, with birds instead of bullets and green pigs in place of targets. 36 Shortly after Angry Birds took off, audiences found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce, and then Candy Crush.
37 That was their charm, after all: They were knowingly ridiculous or illogical, an attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds, players found an escape from reality.
Fast forward to 2016, and there?s now an Angry Birds movie, here to fill you in on all the details you never wished to know.The birds have been given personalities, motives and back-stories, and so have the evil green pigs. Meanwhile, the game?s nonsense had to be made sense of due to a necessary plot for a movie. 38 Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask; to the point of even giving a brand of toy blocks its own story in 2014?s The Lego Movie. 39 Viewers no longer have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favourite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a film?s source materials: An endless flow of prequels (前传), sequels (续传) and spin-offs (衍生产品) fill in those blanks for them.
40 They?ll know. Everything will be determined for them: According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows, and that leaves him feeling isolated and, well, angry. In some ways, Hollywood has taken on the role of fan fiction writers, by expanding and exploring every corner of its fictional universes. But when these universes expand too widely, what will be left to imagine?
A. Angry Birds is not alone in having its gray areas sketched in for the big screen.
B. In its efforts to feed the audience?s curiosity, Hollywood may in fact be killing it.
C. Never mind that these games made absolutely no sense from a narrative viewpoint.
D. When children today play Angry Birds, they won?t wonder why the birds are so ill-tempered.
E. It led the way for a number of other equally silly, equally addictive games to invade cell phones everywhere.
F. Lego, by putting forward education solutions, is now striving to help kids to stand up to a problem and solve it.
G. Hollywood is actually such a power featuring its creativity, imagination and efficiency in giving rise to its entertainment products.

What?s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the word “culture”? Do you think of different groups of people across the world with various 41 and clothing? What about animals?
Sam Williams, executive director of the Macaw(金刚鹦鹉) Recovery Network in Costa Rica, helps to 42 the impact of the decline of macaw populations by taking birds that were born 43 and releasing them into the wild. But this process is very 44 .
“In a cage, you can?t 45 them to know where, when and how to find that food, or about trees with good nest sites,” Williams told ecologist and writer Carl Safina for The Guardian. In the wild, the parents would be the ones to teach them this important 46 .
This type of knowledge is known as cultural knowledge. Cultural knowledge can be 47 from the older generation to the newer one. For many species, cultural knowledge is necessary for 48 .
Culture helps animals to 49 different habitats. For example, some crows(乌鸦) have learned to put nuts in the middle of the road for cars to drive over. And in other areas, they have learned to do this at intersections so they can 50 get the food when the cars stop at red lights.
Other important parts of cultural knowledge include things like group identity, using different tools, taking different 51 routes and using different socializing methods.
These traditions can especially be seen in chimpanzee communities. Cat Hobaiter, who studies chimpanzees in Uganda, said: “It?s not just the 52 of populations of chimps that worries me. I find 53 the possibility of losing each population?s unique culture. That?s permanent.”
Culture isn?t just for 54 . Culture is also an important part of life in the wild from using tools to 55 .

The Sad Zither(锦瑟) is a famous seven-verse poem written by Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin (813—858). Due to its rich imagery, the poem is regarded as one of the 56 (hard) poems to explain and translate.
In the beginning of the poem, the poet looks at his zither and recalls the death of his beloved wife. The big number of strings, which might not be the real number, 57 (be) mentioned to show his feeling. With so many strings, his zither creates complicated tones, 58 (suggest) the sorrow and depression the poet feels. The reality is so cruel that he wishes everything 59 happened was untrue. In this part, he uses four Chinese ancient 60 (myth) and legends: Zhuangzi, a philosopher, dreams of being a butterfly and couldn?t distinguish dream 61 reality; the ancient emperor Wang becomes a cuckoo and always cries; mermaid?s tears become pearl and vapor of jade from Lantian County can be seen in the sunlight. The first three stories all create 62 sad atmosphere. Though the last legend describes a beautiful scene, it?s hard 63 (reach), implicating the hopelessness.
Actually, the four stories he chose indicate Li?s 64 (satisfy) with his life.
In the end, the poet directly expresses his point. He wrote about his regret toward the passing years and the helplessness of being unable to change anything, even if he 65 (give) the chance to live those years again.

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。
On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing with his father at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. They had a wonderful day and decided to drive home to Massachusetts after a final run. They took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, where they split up to go down in different trails. When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son.However, Nicholas never showed up.
It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. What?s worse, he didn?t have any food or water with him, let alone his cell phone or other supplies. The sun began to sink and he was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about Bear Grylls? survival show Man vs. Wild that he used to watch on TV. In the show, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to help himself out. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds weren?t as strong in the valley where he stood as they were up on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
When evening came, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from nearby stream so that he wouldn?t dehydrate (脱水). Then he returned to his cave and slept.
注意:词数150左右。
Paragraph 1:
When Nicholas didn?t show up, his father realized there must be something wrong.
Paragraph 2:
The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile.

Hello, everyone,
As senior three students, we should start thinking about the future and what we want to do after graduation. As we all know, with the development of society, there are so many options available to us, but which ones are best suited to us?
Some jobs may seem very dull but are vital to society, without which people would be unable to go about their daily lives, while others can appear very exciting but are actually difficult and boring, which sometimes cause huge pressure to those involved in them.
Therefore, when we think about our future career, we are supposed to keep in mind that all of the jobs together help society function.

When Nicholas didn’t show up, his father realized there must be something wrong. The father contacted the police, and a search team was gathered to look for the missing teenager. Although the weather condition was poor and the wind was still fierce, they didn’t lose hope of finding Nicholas alive. However, they knew the clock was ticking, and Nicholas stood a better chance of survival the earlier they found him. The team split up, and one of the searchers who knew the area better decided to sweep a mountain trail he used to hike up.
The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile. He went out and followed the sound to find help. He had walked for about a mile when he heard someone calling his name. He moved towards the sound, and sure enough, a few minutes later, he came face to face with the searcher. Despite feeling weak, Nicholas was generally in a good condition, and he was really happy as he was carried back to the ski resort to reunite with his family.

M: Hi, Anne. I heard that you are going to study in the UK. When will you come back?'
W: One year later. I'm going to set off next month and I'll send you a postcard there.

M: Hi, Mary, my old friend!
W: Hi, John! I'd like you to meet Mike. He is from Canada. He is in Beijing on business.

W: I can hardly hear the singer. Those fans are so crazy. They are so loud.
M: Aren't you excited?
W: No! My brother dragged me here.
Text 4
W: Have you looked in the mirror today?
M: Uh, not since I woke up this morning … Why? Did I forget to do my hair or something?
W: Well, let's just say that green ties and pink shirts don't really match.

M: Mom, shall I put all of the old books in this paper box?
W: It’s up to you. Not all of them are useful. If you think some are of no use, you may throw them out like rubbish.

M: There’s just one problem, Madam. Your driver license is no longer valid.
W: What?
M: Yes. It is the 19th today, and your driver license was valid through the 17th. I'm afraid it breaks the rule. Do you have another form of ID?
W: Not with me. My passport is at home, but that’s 30 minutes away.
M: I'm so sorry, but this is our rule. If you want to continue with your deposit, you might have to go home and get it.
W: That’s OK. I'll just come back tomorrow with passport. I need to try to get a new license now. Otherwise, I won't be able to drive home!

W: Mark, it's time to get up, or you'll be late for school. The school bus is coming soon.
M: I'm here, Mom. I'm brushing my teeth now, but my watch says it's half past six. There's still a lot of time.
W: No. It's already seven o'clock. You'll have to be quick to get ready.
M: How come? Are you sure it is the correct time
W: Yes. Your watch must be slow. I turned on the radio just now and I've checked the time.
M: Oh, it's too bad. My watch stopped and I didn't notice it yesterday. I need to get it fixed after school.
W: Hurry up. I'll do it for you.
M: OK! Thank you.

M: I had a big argument with David yesterday. I hope he's not still mad at me.
W: What did you argue about, Robert?
M: He borrowed some money from me and I needed it back. He said he didn't have the money yet.
W: Well, he should pay you back. It's only fair.
M: Yes, but I got angry with him too quickly. He probably thought that I mistrusted him. I shouldn't have got angry.
W: Did you lend him a lot of money?
M: Not much. I had to pay an unexpected bill, so I needed the money back.
W: Well, talk to him about it next time you see him. He probably feels as bad about it as you do. Close friends sometimes have disagreements. It's nothing unusual. Neither of you said anything really nasty, did you?
M: No, we didn't. I guess you're right. We should patch things up.
W: Of course you should. You wouldn't want a silly argument to ruin a long friendship, would you?

M: Hi, Wendy.
W: Oh, John. How are you doing? Busy?
M: No, not at all. I've been a couch potato lately, killing time by watching TV. Oh, by the way, did you hear the news?
W: What news?
M: The government is going to turn the city square into an amusement park.
W: Wonderful. I am glad that the big and ugly thing will be gone.
M: Why? Don't you think the square is 100 times better than any amusement park?
W: I don't think so.
M: The square is a symbol of our city.
W: Well, I don't know if that huge and boring thing can be our symbol, what I care is that the city has dozens of parks where you can take a nice walk.
M: You're right, but don't you think that we will no longer have a peaceful and quiet place once the amusement park opens?
W: Does that matter? More importantly, the amusement park means employment.
M: Why?
W: Income. If you have income, you have money to spend, and in turn, it will create more jobs.

Nothing in this world can be achieved without effort. Mozart wasn't born a composer. He practiced the piano from the age of three and began composing by the age of five. His father, who was also his teacher, was very strict with him.
Jimi Hendrix used to walk around his house with a guitar and play up to eight hours a day. As a child, Jimi used to listen to his father's blues records alone with a broom, pretending to play it like a guitar.
Neither of them had their gift just given to them at birth. They had to work hard and discover that they had a gift. And they didn't just make do with what they had after that. They kept at it. Hendrix didn't even know how to read music, so he learned everything through listening.
Another example is Albert Einstein, the father of modern physics. He was told that he would never be a success at anything. No one wanted to hire him after he graduated from college. But he believed in himself, and he persevered with his studies on his own.
Now, I'm not trying to say that everyone can be Mozart or Einstein if they just put in a lot of time doing something. But, with effort and passion, one can achieve a great deal. Without those things, you're not going to achieve much. Luck comes to those who prepare for it. If you do something you love, don't let little bumps along the road stop you.
