B
On a July afternoon in 1937, 15-year-old Betty Brown was playing with her father’s shortwave radio and searching for her favorite songs when she casually turned the dial on the radio and heard something that made her stop. It was a voice that sounded familiar. Back in those days, news clips (新闻摘要) were played at movie theaters. Brown recognized the voice from one of the news films she had seen.
“I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,” Brown recalled in a 2007 interview. “She was saying, ‘This is Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.’”
Brown quickly began writing down what she heard --- parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earhart’s navigator (领航员), Fred Noonan. As the signal faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled (潦草地写) away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising water. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls (遇险呼救) stopped.
Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made. But Brown kept her notebook. In 2000, people from an organization researching Earhart’s disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Brown’s notes were reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of an American hero.
39. Betty Brown stayed by the radio for so long because she________.
A. was waiting for her music to come back on
B. enjoyed recording people’s conversations
C. wanted to gather more information about Earhart’s situation
D. wanted to take notes for a book about Earhart
40. From the Coast Guard’s reaction to Brown, we can infer that the Coast Guard________.
A. did not want to look for Earhart
B. did not believe Brown heard Earhart
C. wanted Brown to help them find Earhart
D. already knew where Earhart was
41. Which word can best describe Brown?
A. Determined. B. Forgetful. C. Independent. D. Careless.
【答案】39. C 40. B 41. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个故事：Betty Brown在听收音机时接收到了Amelia Earhart发出的求救信号，但没有被官方使用去救助Amelia Earhart。而后来2000年，她对求救信息的记录却被证实是可信的。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice (我听到Amelia Earhart惊恐的，令人心碎的声音)”以及第三段第一句“Brown quickly began writing down what she heard (Brown快速写下她听到的)”可知，她之所以在收音机旁坐了很久是为了继续听，以便获得更多关于Amelia Earhart的消息。故选C项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段一二句“Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made. (Brown和她的父亲都试图将她的笔记交给美国海岸警卫队，但他们被告知情况已得到控制。经过一番努力，对Earhart的搜寻工作被放弃了。)”可知，美国海岸警卫队搜寻过Amelia Earhart，并且说情况得到控制，即不需要Brown的帮助，但实际没有搜索到人究竟在那里，故可推测他们并不是很相信Brown所说的消息，并没有根据她记录的信息去搜救就放弃了。故选B项。

Most people want to have a warm family to make them feel safe and secure. For the old with dementia(痴呆), living with their family is of great importance.

BoKlok, a joint venture(合资企业) created by Skanska and IKEA, introduces a new house which is cheap and environmentally friendly.
All of the apartments’ facilities are designed uniformly, like furniture and bathroom equipment, which helps keep the costs down. SilviaBo even offers help to the people with lower income, so they can pay what they couldn’t afford formerly.
H.M Queen Silvia participates in the plan of the new BoKlok project, including the color of the toilet seats and shower design. “She truly devotes herself to this project. This is her baby,” said Jonas Spangenberg, BoKlok’s CEO. That’s because the Queen understands people with dementia are forced to leave their homes and that keeping them in their homes is a better way.
In March 2017, the first SilviaBo home began to be built and Queen Silvia was there to watch it. She said that her mother suffered from Alzheimer’s, one type of dementia. Therefore, SilviaBo homes were important to her.
“To take care of the old, the cost is high,” Spangenberg told CNN. “It’s much cheaper for society and the public to help them at home.” These creative solutions are the key to giving people with dementia a good quality of life.
