But on Thursday，Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains. His last hike was up Mount Annapurna，in Asia’ s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26，545 feet，its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing. “It tends to be the trickiest，the most dangerous，”said Viesturs.“There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”In high school，Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away. Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977，guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago，he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally，he’s done. The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses，all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it，”said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect，and if we’re here at the right time，under the right circumstances，they allow us to go up，and allow us to come down.” What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer，”says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains，he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure. 24.What record has Ed Viesturs set?A.He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain.B.He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.C.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26，545 feet.D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.25.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by“______”.A.frightened   B.discouraged  C.interested    D.upset26. The author used Viesturs' words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that____ .A.mountain climbing is a dangerous sport.B.mountains should be regarded as living creatures.C.mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy. D.those who like mountain climbing won't stop climbing.27.What's the next probably plan of Viesturs？A.Stopping climbing and staying with his family. B.Climbing to the top of the world's 14 tallest mountains again. C.Climbing another one of the highest mountains. D.Writing down the experiences about his adventure. CLocated in the tropical forests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China’s Yunnan province, the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center (AEBRC) is dedicated to giving careful and effective protection to wild elephants.Though the jungles provide rich sources of food and water for the elephants, they can also pose a threat to them if they become ill or injured, making it difficult for them to survive in the wild.In August 2015, a baby elephant that was less than one month old was abandoned by her herd at the doorway of a farmer’s house in Simiao, Pu’er city. Vets from the AEBRC came and took the animal to their center for treatment. She was found to have intra-abdominal(腹内的) infections and heart failure. She was also at risk of blood poisoning.The baby elephant finally recovered after proper treatment by the keepers at the center. However, without the presence of her mother, she became malnourished (营养不良) due to a lack of breast milk. At that time, she weighed only 76 kilograms, much smaller than an average newborn elephant. The vets decided to feed her goat milk, and as she was born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, the elephant was named Yang Niu (“Yang” is Chinese for goat, and Niu means girl). The elephant is now about 6 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1.3 tonnes.Currently, there are 11 rescued Asian elephants living at the center and being cared for by 27 keepers, who spend more than 10 hours with them each day. Thanks to these efforts, the population of Asian wild elephants in the province has reached 300 from 150 over the past 30 years.The local government has designated (指派) a place as a source of food for the elephants so that they do less damage to villagers’ crops while looking for food. They’ve also monitored the elephants using technologies such as drones to keep track of their activities and prevent encounters between villagers and the elephants. The local government has also purchased commercial insurance for residents to compensate them if the elephants attack them.28.What can be a threat to elephants’ survival according to the text?A.Lack of food sources.       B.Illegal hunting.C.Physical problems.         D.Destruction of forests. 29. What does the example of a baby elephant stress?A.The recovery of Yang Niu.  B.The efforts made by keepers.C.The risks facing baby elephants. D.The importance of mother elephants. 30. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 5?A.The number of elephants endangered.B.The urgency of rescuing wild elephants.C.A steady growth of elephant population.D.A rising trend of animal over protection. 31. Why has the government designated a place for elephants?A.To keep track of their activities.B.To prevent them from damaging crops.C.To save them the trouble of looking for food.D.To ensure the growth of the elephant population.DAir-conditioner’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men regarding the “correct” temperature for it to be set. And it’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both parties warm but not hot. Research does consistently show women prefer a higher indoor temperature to men. But is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women “feel the cold” more than men?At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels.Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.The hormones oestrogen and progesterone (雌激素和孕激素), found in large quantities in women, contribute to the core body and skin temperatures. Oestrogen dilates (扩张) blood vessels at the extremities. This means more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progesterone can cause the vessels in the skin to narrow, meaning less blood will flow to some areas to keep the inner organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.So how do we agree on the ideal temperature? The “Scandinavian sleep method”, where couples sleep with separate blankets, is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences.In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heat systems that can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or foot-warmers. These systems provide individualised comfort to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace. They may also be an energy-efficient method to balance warmth and health in office environments.32. Why does a couple often have an argument on temperature control?A. Because the wife prefers to work indoors than outdoors.B. Because the wife would like to stay in a cooler place.C. Because they have different preference for temperature.D. Because they have no air-conditioner to heat their office.33. What may happen to men and women of the same weight?A. Men may be much stronger than women.  B. Men may have more fat than women.C. Women may feel colder than men.   D. Women may produce more heat than men.34. How does the fourth paragraph develop?A. By giving examples. B. By listing reasons.C. By solving problems. D. By making comparisons.35. Which of the following can help create a comfortable workplace without bothering others?A. Using a personal heater.    B. Moving into a warm office.C. Applying a new heating system.   D. Asking for an extra individual room.第二节（共5小题海小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Laziness is a state of inaction. It's something that you do, not something that you are.   36   This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is identifying themselves as someone who is lazy. Lazy people are the ones who don't do anything. You can view a student who never studies as lazy. You can see an employee who doesn't do his work as being lazy.   37   But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazily?There is a huge difference between saying you act lazily sometimes and saying you are a lazy person.   38   This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren't lazy; they simply are people who are temporarily acting that way.So what causes a person to be inactive?   39   If you give someone a good enough reason to do something, they will do it. For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go if someone offered you a million dollars to go? If you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action?____40_____ Before you take action though, you need a compelling reason to do so.To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal.A.The answer is a lack of goals and purpose.B. They can be seen as underachievers or even bums.C. Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything.D. In these cases, what the lazy person is doing is being lazy.E. One suggests that your laziness is temporary while the other suggests that it's permanent.F.The bottom line of overcoming laziness comes down to finding enough reasons to take action.G.People who don't seem to do anything just haven't found a good enough reason to do anything.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Our family finally managed to get together, but in a few days we scattered again to the ends of the earth, and I will begin my new job in a new city.

It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel(松鼠).We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.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：One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________    Paragraph 2:  One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
