                                     A
     Kaydence Henslee, 13, was spending her spring break visiting Disney World with her family. During a pool day at their hotel, she noticed a small unconscious (无意识的) body in the deep end of the water.

"I was nervous and afraid, but my instincts(本能) kicked in," Henslee told KRQE. "I just saw her floating. She wasn't on the bottom when I was there."

The victim (受害人) was three-year-old Haven Williams, who was also spending a vacation with her parents down in Florida. Her mother Ashley stepped away from the pool for a moment: "I just remember seeing another woman run across and cry into the bar area for someone to call 911 because a baby had just drowned...I didn't think it was my baby."

Henslee helped get Haven out of the pool as her "lip turned purple" and Ashley could then see it was her own daughter from the child's swimsuit. An employee at a children's hospital in Missouri herself, Ashley recalled the "feeling of losing my child."

A heroic bystander helped Henslee and performed CPR until Haven could be transported to the hospital. Haven is now expected to make a full recovery. Henslee remained modest about her actions. "I knew it was the right thing to do to help someone out," she said. She even plans on getting CPR certified in light of the situation.
21. What happened when Henslee was at Disney World?
A.She was required to look after a baby.
B.She fell into the water accidentally.
C.She saw an inactive body in a pool.

The Bridegroom's Oak, a 500-year-old tree just outside of Eutin, in Germany, has its own

postal address and receives around 40 letters every day. They're sent by love seekers from around the world, in the hope that someone will read them and write back.

With so many dating apps（约会软件) and services available nowadays, sending letters to a tree hardly sounds like the best way to find love. However, there's something charming about sending a letter and allowing fate (命运) to work its magic, so the Bridegroom's Oak remains popular even now.

In 1890 , a local girl named Minna fell in love with a young chocolate maker named Wilhelm, but her father didn't allow her to see the boy. Instead of giving up on each other, the two started exchanging love letters secretly, by leaving them in a knothole (节孔) of an oak tree. After about one year, Minna's father found out about their continued relationship, but instead of punishing them, he gave them permission to marry. The two lovers got married on June 2,1891 , under the oak tree that helped keep their romance (罗曼史) alive.

The couple's story spread around Eutin, and soon, people from all over the world who are unable to find love started writing romantic letters and leaving them in the tree's knothole. However, love seekers visiting the Bridegroom's Oak need respect only one simple rule. They can check all the letters in its knothole, and take with them the one they wish to reply to, but they have to put the others back for other people to find.

So far the Bridegroom's Oak has been responsible for at least 100 marriages and many other romantic relationships.
24. What's the Bridegroom's Oak popular for?
A. Its long life.           B. Its rare species
C. Its good position.       D. Its special function.
25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The best way to find love a century ago.
B. What sufferings the two lovers experienced.
C. The love story behind the Bridegroom's Oak.
D. How the two lovers kept their romance alive.
26. What can love seekers do with the letters in the Bridegroom's Oak?

A. Reply to all the letters in its knothole.    B. Read each letter in its knothole.

C. Put their name at the top of each letter.    D. Take ax many letters away as they like.

27. What can be inferred from the text?

A. Writing to the Bridegroom's Oak is helpful.    

B. Germany needs dating and services.

C Germans hold a firm belief in fate.    

D. Foreigners have little idea of the Bridegroom's Oak.

C
Work less, do more. It's an attractive idea that's becoming reality for a growing number of

people in Sweden, where some companies are shortening their workdays from eight hours to six or even fewer. But is it possible to finish the same amount of work in less time?

The answer depends on the person and the type of work, experts say. But plenty of evidence suggests that cutting back on hours can have many benefits, not just because people are usually happier when they work less. If done right, shortening the workday can also improve productivity (生产效率).

The average American works about 47 hours a week, and many people work much more than that, even though many recent studies have connected working long hours with many health problems. People who work too much are more likely to gain weight, suffer workplace injuries and develop stress-related illnesses.

Dealing with those problems can end up costing companies a large amount of money, experts say. One recent study found that stress in the workplace contributes to 120,000 deaths each year and as much as  of health care costs in the US.

Productivity can also suffer as the day goes on and it takes even more effort to maintain the same pace. A number of studies have found that intense (紧张的) periods of mental effort can impair people's ability to solve puzzles, make decisions and control emotions.
28. Why does the author provide the example of some Sweden companies in the first paragraph?
A. To provide support for his own ideas.
B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To predict the change of views on workdays.
D. To provide a successful case of shorter workdays.
29. What does the underlined word "impair" in the last paragraph mean?
A.measure    B. improve     C. repair     D. affect
30. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Work at Your Peak Efficiency
B. Assess Your Pace of Work
C. Can a 6-hour Workday Work?
D. Are You Shortening Your Workdays?

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ways to protect eyes from screens

Too much screen time may cause serious eye strain (眼疲劳）and even a sharp decline of eyesight. That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays, especially those who work on a computer. The following tips may be helpful.

Get regular eye tests

Experts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect (探测）problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. 31 Tell your doctor about it, and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.

Give your eyes space

The closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus, 32 If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.

Take breaks

This may not always be practical if you're quite busy，but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. 33 While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it's recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.

34

Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus. To avoid this, many eye experts recommend the “20-20-20 rule”---looking away from your phone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing muscle in the eye. 35

A. Exercise your eyes.

B. Give your eyes a chance to rest.

C. Make your screen more eye-friendly.

D. Studies show it’s an effective way to reduce tiredness.

E. You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.

F. Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough.

G. Studies on eye strain suggest that computer screens should be no closer than 40 cm from your face.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were 36. If we didn't see some rain soon, we would 37 everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of 38 and witnessed the only miracle I have seen with my own eyes.

I was in the 39 making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the 40 , Minutes after he 41 into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. Moments later, however, he was once again 42 in that slow purposeful step toward the woods. This activity went on for an hour: walk 43 to the woods, run back to the house.

Finally I couldn’t take it any longer and I crept (悄悄地走) out of the house and 44 him on his journey. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most 45 sight. A tiny deer was lying on the ground, 46 suffering from dehydration (脱水) and heat exhaustion, 47 its head with great effort to lap up (舔食)the water 48 in my beautiful boy9s hand. When the water was 49, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 50 the water to. Billy opened it all the way up and a little water began to flow slowly. He 51 there, letting the water slowly 52 his hand---the temporary cup.

When he stood up and began to go back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes just filled with 53. “I’m not wasting” was all he said. As my tears began to hit the 54, they were suddenly joined by other drops , more drops...and more.

All I can say is that the 55 that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.

     Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.

"Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?"' Mum asked him. "We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them."

Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. "Responsibility," Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
     "The second word: contribution," Mr. White said.
     "So easy," Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
      Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. "I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, "Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!"

Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary --- the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment." Peter thought.

After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word "contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right, Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. "C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n," he whispered. He had spelled it wrong. He didn't know what to do.

Staring at the red sign "  " at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, "We ought to be an honest person." Slowly, Peter raised his hand. " "Mr. White, I didn't get 100 percent on the test. I missed a word." He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. "I spelled contribution with 's-i' instead of 't-i'. Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter's test paper.
