BWhen Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard- of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed workarounds to enjoy concerts. "What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations（震动） through their fingers, " Belquer said. He thought the team could make something to help hard-of- hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available. Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the "Chief Vibrational Officer" of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access. His team started by tying vibrating different cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn't quite work. The vibrations were all the same. Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic （触觉的） suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates. There are 20 of them tied to a vest that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle. When you wear the suit, it's surprising how it feels. The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way. "What we're doing is selecting and mixing what we want and send it to different parts of the body, said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of the event. There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was captioned on a screen on the stage. The suits are the star attraction. Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience. "It's cool, because I'm never quite sure if I'm hearing what other people are hearing, so it's amazing to get the music in my body. "24. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?A. The way they enjoyed music. B. The attitude they held to life. C. The love they had for balloons. D. The frequency they vibrated fingers. 25. Why did the team's initial attempt fail?A. The motors were the same. B. The vibrations lacked variety. C. The motors hardly worked. D. The vibrations were irregular. 26. What did the DJ do?A. He interpreted the sign language. B. He captioned the music on stage. C. He selected suits for the attendees. D. He helped people feel the music. 27. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?A. Comforting. B. Challenging. C. Satisfying. D. Encouraging. CFor some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more. There's no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment. "What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we're not making these really big changes in dietary composition, says Clark. "I think that's really powerful, because a lot of people just don't want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in the US and Europe, it's absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now, "he says. Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns and so much more. "Rather than dictate how to do, it's much better to try to give choice, "says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen would require working alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production. "But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant, " says Clark. "We don't all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make big impacts. 28. How does the author show the effects of dietary changes?A. By answering questions. B. By listing figures. C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By using a quotation. 29. What's Clark's attitude towards small dietary changes?A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Negative. D. Favorable. 30. What does the underlined word "dictate" in paragraph 4 mean?A. Perceive. B. Refuse. C. Command. D. Describe. 31. What is the best title for the text?A. How small changes to our diet can benefit the planetB. Renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissionsC. Small changes in life choices can make big impactsD. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warmingDBringing species like beavers （河狸） back to England is no longer a priority, the government said on Friday to criticism from wildlife groups. A recent report shows that one in six UK species are at risk of extinction. In September more than 60 conservation organisations reported a significant decline in species due to expansions in farming and the effects of climate change. In recent years, animals and plants have been reintroduced by charities as part of efforts to restore the country's reduced biodiversity. Despite the government allowing this, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee concluded in July that there was an absence of long-term plans on how to manage this. In response, the government has now said that the "reintroduction of species is not a priority". The government said it was focused on increasing biodiversity through habitat restoration. The government's environment department has come under scrutiny（详细审查） for not doing more to prevent sewage dumping and other forms of pollution in England's waterways. Sir Robert Goodwill, chair of the Committee, said he was disappointed with the government response. Bringing back extinct species is a controversial issue-although farmers and landowners appear broadly supportive, there are risks of reintroducing new species, and without clear guidance, problems could arise. A recent study showed that river barriers similar to those built by beavers can protect communities at risk of flooding. But there have also been cases documented in Europe where beavers have built their dams in places that have damaged crops and changed rivers. Joan Edwards, director of Policy & Public Affairs at The Wildlife Trusts said, "Reintroducing wildlife must be part of the UK government's arsenal （武器） for tackling nature loss and climate change-it is astonishing there is no strategy for doing so. "The return of wild beavers can help to recreate lost wetlands, with a knock-on effect that benefits other wildlife including insects, invertebrates and birds. Beavers also slow the flow of water, which can reduce flood risks to towns and villages, "she said. 32. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A study. B. A diary. C. A guide. D. A report. 33. How did the UK government plan to increase biodiversity?A. By expanding farming. B. By offering guidance. C. By restoring habitat. D. By developing strategy. 34. What did Joan Edwards think of reintroduction of wildlife?A. It was beneficial. B. It was controversial. C. It was messy. D. It was costly. 35. What is the text mainly about?A. The advantages of reintroducing wildlife. B. The responses to a government statement. C. The effects of climate change on farming. D. The approaches to increasing biodiversity. 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。Among all the different emergencies, the fire accident is the most critical one for which you should plan. 36 .

Electromagnetic radiation （电磁辐射） includes visible light, X-rays 57 other types of energy, all of which travel through space as waves. Many technologies use radio waves to send and receive signals. Take the radio in your car or home for example. 58 （broadcast） music or news, a radio station's tower sends radio waves out into the air. Those waves travel to radios, which translate the incoming waves into vibrations. Vibrating speakers inside a radio create the sound waves heard as radio programs. TV broadcasts work in the similar way. Cell phones and 59 （wire）computer networks also send and receive signals as radio waves, so do radar systems and GPS devices. 60 all of these cases, the device that generates radio waves 61 （call）the sender. The device that picks radio waves up is the receiver, but technology is not the only thing 62 can create radio waves. Lightning gives off radio waves. It also includes lots of 63 （object）throughout the universe. Radio telescopes on Earth can tune into the radio waves 64 （make）by those distant objects. Observing the waves can let people learn more about what those distant sources are made of and how they're moving 65 （exact）. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分15分）你校英文报正在组织征文活动。请你以“Whether or not to reward children's progress with material things”为题写一篇短文投稿，内容包括：1. 支持者与反对者的观点；2. 你的观点。注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Whether or not to reward children's progress with material things第二节（满分25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。"Hi, Connie. "My sister-in-law's familiar bright and clear voice greeted me from the other end of the phone line early one Monday afternoon. "Mom and I just finished baking banana bread, and we'd love to bring you out a warm loaf. Can you have the coffee on in half an hour?"Since thoughts of my mother-in-law's freshly baked banana bread clouded my sensibilities and made me unable to think of an excuse, I replied in my cheeriest voice, "Of course, come on up. I'll be here!"What was I thinking? I can't let my mother-in-law see the house like this! She's under the impression that I'm perfect. I had to attempt to clean the house within thirty minutes. The past week, however, had been even busier than usual with running my five very active kids back and forth for extra-curricular activities. As a result, the house was neglected. To add to my awkward situation, I had spent the morning sitting in the garden drinking coffee in an effort to recover from the rushed weekend of activities. But I told myself, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Then I put my words into action!I cleaned up the kitchen in ten minutes. Things were looking good, and I still had twenty minutes remaining. I quickly swept the living room, throwing toys into the toy box as I worked my way across the floor. Glancing at the clock on my way upstairs to the kids' bedrooms, I was relieved to find I had five minutes to spare. That gave me just enough time to tidy up the bathroom and run a brush through my hair. Whew! I did it! I put on a fresh pot of coffee, and since my guests hadn't yet arrived, I decided to wipe off the chicken eggs I had gathered after taking the kids to the bus stop. It would be a nice gesture to give them some eggs in return for the banana bread. 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。I was finishing the last egg when I heard a knock at the door behind me.
