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 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. ②③④26. 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 TurkeyB. Joy After Girl Pulled Out Alive from RubbleC. Brave Father Saves His Daughter in EarthquakeD. Rescue Work in Progress After a Deadly EarthquakeCThe climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist (古生物学家) at the University of Edinburgh, suggested the way other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat,” he writes.Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added: “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures spike pretty quickly, which does raise the question: if temperatures do spike really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.In a recent study, researchers studying human remains over the past million years have also suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size variation, while scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller.However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong correlations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.Lister is also sceptical that humans will shrink as the climate heats. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, and we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”28. According to Brusatte, early horses got smaller in body size in order toA. keep warm B. avoid hunters C. stay cool D. keep balance29. What does the underlined word “spike” probably mean?A. Fall. B. Go up. C. Remain steady. D. Change.30 What is the author’s attitude towards the new finding?A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Confused. D. Positive.31. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To demonstrate the relationship between nature and people’s lifestyle.B. To cast light on the potential impact of changed mammal body size.C. To introduce the correlations between climate change and human body size.D. To warn people of the survival crisis mammals are faced with.DThe 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.32. 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.33. 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.34. 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.35. 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.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A parent-child relationship is perhaps the purest of all. ____36____These tips will help you improve your relationship with your parents.Give them your time.

We fought, debated and cried, making much noise. Being part of a big family was really starting to annoy me. For example, my brothers and sisters knocked on the bathroom door all the time. How I wanted to be the only child in my family. As the car rolled down the small road, my mom said cheerfully, “The pool is three minutes away. You’ll have much time to swim.” Swimming was a peaceful activity. I could float on my back and look at the sky. I could pretend I was the only person in the world. Mom parked the car beside a small row of other cars. “One at a time,” she yelled before the car doors opened. Nobody listened. The car doors all flew open at once. After pushing, yelling and crying, we came out. I quickly pulled off my jeans, T-shirt, socks and shoes, and finally put on my swimsuit. “Yeah!” I yelled as I jumped into the big natural pool with small stones on its floor. Cold water struck my face. I put my head under the water, which shot up my nose. After standing up again, I dropped backward into the water and began to float. The water sat around my cars, smooth and silent. The sun warmed my face. I was like a leaf floating in a large pool peacefully. Everything was silent under water. For the moment, I felt I was the only child there. I didn’t have to share things like snacks with other kids. My stomach made a noise at the thought of food. Hadn’t Mom packed a huge bag of chips for our snack? I stood up to walk to shore. Oh! Dark sandy water suddenly filled my mouth and covered my head. The rocky ground was gone; I was pushed into the deep, dark water. I tried to kick to the surface. As my face peeked out (微露出) from under the water, I took a deep breath. I tried to swim and leave the deep water. But it didn’t work. I only knew how to float. 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 1The water closed over my head again. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2I could feel my body moving upward as a familiar hand started to pull me through the water. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
