It had already been more than the critical 72 hours seen as a cutoff point for finding Turkish earthquake survivors.
But over 80 hours later, 16-year-old Melda Adtas was pulled out alive, leaving her
overjoyed father in tears and the grieving nation cheering a rare piece of good news after Monday’s magnitude —7.8 tremor, which has now left more than 22,000 dead across Turkey and Syria.
Melda’s father felt nothing but relief, as rescuers pulled the teen out of the rubble (碎石).
“My dear, my dear!“ he called out, as the watching crowd broke into applause. It took rescue workers five painstaking hours to save her life after neighbors raised the alarm. They had heard sounds from the splintered walls. For Melda and others in Antakya, the biting cold worsened an already desolate situation.
Hopes rose after rescuers found three people alive in the same building, only a floor
above Melda. So the rescuers and her panicked father went looking, determined to find the missing girl. When rescuers discovered Melda, she was stuck under a wall that had collapsed.
Suleyman, the man leading her rescue effort, is one of a group of Black Sea miners who
headed south to help. Without him, the operation could not have been carried out, his
3
co-workers said. He knows his way around dark, narrow spaces.
Working in silence to maintain contact with Melda, the rescuers removed one obstacle after another, as onlookers watched anxiously. Then all of a sudden, they reached the cold, bruised young girl who was very much alive, and gently brought her to a waiting ambulance.
Several rescuers, wearing helmets, covered in dust and with tired faces, held the stretcher,
protecting Melda with a blanket against the cold and prying eyes. Once Melda was safely in the ambulance, many hugged, kissed and congratulated the rescuers. Several could not hold back tears.
“We haven’t worked for nothing. We have pulled a girl from the rubble,” one said.
“God bless you ll!” her father shouted.
24．What can we learn about the earthquake in Turkey?
A．It has resulted in 22,000 deaths.
B．It was Suleyman who located Melda first.
C．The citizens worked in silence in order to locate Melda.
D．There’s little hope for survivors to be found 72 hours after the earthquake.
25．What factors added to the difficulty of saving Melda after the earthquake according to the text?
①Lack of professional rescue teams. ②Low temperature.
③Power cuts and disrupted transportation. ④Ruined buildings.
A．①②④ B．①③ C．②④ D．②③④
26．How did the rescuers behave in the operation?
A．Skillfully and considerately. B．Affectionately and naturally.
C．Sympathetically and independently. D．Awkwardly and cooperatively.
27．What’s the best title for the text?
A．Powerful Earthquake Hits Turkey
B．Joy After Girl Pulled Out Alive from Rubble
C．Brave Father Saves His Daughter in Earthquake
D．Rescue Work in Progress After a Deadly Earthquake
C
The Financial Times app urged me to read the latest headlines. More disturbing, Google News installed itself and did the same thing. Most absurd of all, every single incoming email announced itself with a beep.
This was all simple enough to fix. Text messages and phone calls are now the only apps
allowed to interrupt me. Still, it was annoying. I wondered: surely everyone switches off most notifications, right?
Perhaps not, I stumbled upon an essay by Guardian columnist Coco Khan marveling at
how much calmer she felt after turning off notifications. She explained that WhatsApp alone had sent her over 100 notifications a day and that she had only silenced the apps because

she’d been on holiday, and the phone was buzzing all night.
I read Khan’s account as a cautionary tale for all of us. Humans can adapt to a lot; it’s easy to sleepwalk into a state of chronic stress and distraction without ever reflecting that things could be different.
This seems common. One of the most important findings in behavioral science is that
default(默认) settings have an outsize influence over our choices. App makers clearly believe we’ll put up with it, and they may be right.
One study, published in 2015 by researchers at the Technical University of Berlin, found
that on average six out of seven smartphone apps were left in their default notification settings. Given how many notifications are valueless, this suggests that in the face of endless notifications, many smartphone users have learnt helplessness.
Of course we sometimes want to know immediately when something has happened. As I
am fond of saying, a doorbell is more convenient than going to the door every 90 seconds to see if anyone is there. Although that trade-off would change if the doorbell itself were sounding every few minutes, day and night.
But most of us have too many notifications enabled. “ Notification” is a dishonest
euphemism(委婉说法)，anyway. The correct word is “interruption”.
Oliver Burkeman puts it in his book Four Thousand Weeks: our attention is not just a scarce resource; it is life itself.“At the end of your life, looking back, whatever caught your attention from moment to moment is simply what your life will have been.“ Glance at yet another notification, and you are literally paying with your life.
28．How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By providing data. B．By posing a contrast.
C．By making a comparison. D．By describing personal experience.
29．What can we learn about the author and Coco Khan?
A．They preferred a peaceful life to a busy life.
B．They simply turned off their phones to keep themselves calm.
C．Both of them weren’t happy with default settings on smartphones.
D．They were often troubled by unnecessary notifications on their phones.
30．Which is one of the reasons why people live with annoying notifications?
A．Because they are used to them.
B．Because they are under too much stress.
C．Because most of the notifications are valuable.
D．Because they forget to deal with their messages constantly.
31．What can we infer from Oliver Burkeman’s words?
A．It is advisable to live a life without smartphones.
B．Being interrupted by useless notifications is a waste of life.
C．People need to reflect on their choices of smartphone apps.
D．People who have adapted to endless notifications are hopeless.

D
In a 1993 experiment, researchers reported that college students who listened to a Mozart sonata (奏鸣曲) for a few minutes just before taking a test did better on the test than students
listening to relaxation instructions or sitting in silence. Music of Mozart, the investigators
concluded, seemed to cause changes in the brain that "warm up" neural (神经) connections, thereby improving thinking. But the gain in performance--widely publicized as the "Mozart effect"--lasted only 15 minutes and proved difficult to repeat. Rather than causing a real change in ability, Mozart seemed to improve excitement and mood, producing better concentration on the test.
Research suggests that to produce lasting gains in intelligence-test scores, involvement
must be long-lasting and involve children's active participation. Consequently, Glenn Schellenberg, psychologist from University of Toronto, wondered, can music lessons enhance intelligence?
Schellenberg recruited 132 six-year-old children for formal lessons. First, the children
took an intelligence test and were rated for social maturity. Next, the children were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. Two were music groups; one received piano lessons and the other voice lessons. The third group took drama lessons--a condition that shed light on whether intellectual gains were unique to musical experiences. The fourth group--a no-lessons control--was offered music lessons the following year. After 36 weeks of lessons, the children's intelligence and social maturity were assessed again.
All four groups showed gains in intelligence-test performance, probably because the
participants had just entered grade school, which usually leads to an increase in intelligence test scores. But the two music groups consistently gained more than the control groups. Their advantage, though just a few points, extended across many mental abilities, including verbal and spatial skills and speed of thinking. At the same time, only the drama group improved in social maturity.
In sum, active, sustained musical experiences can lead to small increases in intelligence
among 6-year-olds. But other enrichment activities, such as reading, science, math, and chess programs, may have similar benefits. All demand that children invest far more time and effort than they would in listening to a Mozart sonata.
32．What did the 1993 experiment show?
A．Mozart effect will change students' ability to study.
B．Music of Mozart improves students' concentration.
C．Listening to Mozart will produce lasting gains in test scores.
D．Brief exposure to Mozart results in lifelong intellectual gains.
33．Why did Glenn Schellenberg conduct his experiment?
A．To rate the children for social maturity.
B．To give 132 six-year-olds formal music lessons.
C．To see if music lessons can improve children's intelligence.
D．To test the Mozart effect on children's intelligence and social maturity.

34．What does the underlined phrase "shed light on" probably mean?
A．clarify B．confuse C．conceal D．compare
35．Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A．What is the Mozart Effect?
B．Tune Your Brain with Mozart
C．Mozart for Newborns: A Bright Beginning
D．Can Musical Experiences Enhance Intelligence?

The Ice Cream Truck
“Never give up! Never give up! “ chanted (反复唱) two young children. Max and Lily, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi who was leading them on a great adventure, straight off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and swimming in the sea. They were seeking the mysterious ice-cream truck!
Over the years, Mimi had become an example of positivity for her family. It was not a
title she earned without effort, however. Her husband died early and she was left to raise her daughter alone. She could have lived under a black cloud. But she challenged herself to find joy every day instead. She was always up for a new challenge, no matter what it was. Leading by example, Mimi taught her daughter and her grandchildren how much one could achieve with a positive attitude.
Before starting her adventure with Max and Lily on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard
the ice-cream man’s bell. She saw him briefly, before he turned and disappeared. The
ice-cream man visited the beach on a daily basis, although the delay between the sound of his bell and the disappearance of his truck is not long. One must be quick to catch him.
Max and Lily were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. That was
until Mimi’s eyes shone and she said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry up to find it at its next stop.
They walked block after block. Not knowing which direction the truck had taken, they
had to make their best guess about where to search. The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on, continuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up!”
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。
Paragraph 1
After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun.
