19、e Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his 60s, looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her window.“Hey!” she shouted. “ Im driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?”The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Ac

20、tually,” he said, “I have a funeral (葬礼) to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man, named Edward, took a seat. As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair, he told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesot

21、a, and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. They are all living on the margins, and she is aware of the power of her work.“Its more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and res

22、pect, but also to get to know people.”Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered from ulcerative colitis ( 溃疡性结肠炎) that was so serious, her hair thinned severely. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Stellers first professional haircut.“To sit down and

23、have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school

24、(美容学校) in 2016, she realized her dream. Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.Steller said, “I cant fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.” Stellerlistens to peoples stories of loss, addiction,

25、and struggle to get back on their feet.An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover (美容) at Stellers salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her hope is that

26、 by reading about kind acts, others will be inspired to do their own.So far, its working. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to them,” says Steller.24. Edward agreed to have a haircut by Steller because .A. he wanted to talk with Steller about his lifeB. he

27、 wanted to look good for a special occasionC. he was too old to go to a hair salon by himselfD. he was just waiting for a free haircut on the street25. In paragraph 5, the underlined words “living on the margins” can probably be replaced by .A. living with little care and attentionB. living far from

28、 downtown areasC. living with serious illnessesD. living in untidy conditions26. What made Steller want to set up her own salon?A. Her excellent haircut skills.B. Her mothers encouragement.C. Her experience of a formal haircut.D. Her dream to offer people free haircuts.27. Whats the purpose of Stell

29、er Kindness Project?A. To make contributions to charity.B. To encourage people to spread kindness.C. To reward kind people with free makeovers.D. To collect moving stories for Stellers website.CThe 1993 movie Jurassic Park wasnt the first film to show dinosaurs in the modern world. But it did a good

30、 job of bringing the idea of cloning dinosaurs into popular culture. It represented dinosaur cloning in a way that made sense to a lot of people, and it was a successful film, making more than $900 million worldwide.Jurassic Park built on the idea of getting DNA from mosquitoes kept in amber. While

31、this might seem possible at first sight, its highly unlikely that scientists could find usable dinosaur DNA in mosquito fossils. Scientists would need a very specific samplea female mosquito that had taken lots of dinosaur blood immediately before being trapped in amber. Since fossilization in amber

32、 is a relatively rare event, the chances of this happening are pretty small.The lack of possible samples isnt the only problem. Most insect fossils found in amber are also too young to contain dinosaur blooddinosaurs were gone by the time the insects became trapped. Many insects went bad from the in

33、side out after they were trapped, leaving nothing inside for scientists to try to find. Finally, the sample would have to be very dry, since DNA can break down quickly in the presence of water.But if researchers did find a perfectly kept mosquito with a body full of dinosaur blood, bringing back its

34、 DNA would still be difficult. The blood with the dinosaur DNA would be surrounded by the body of an insect, which has its own DNA. There could also be DNA from the other cells trapped in the amber. Then, of course, theres the DNA in the laboratory itselfand in the body of the scientist.28. Why is t

35、he film Jurassic Park mentioned at the beginning?A. To introduce the topic of cloning dinosaurs.B. To encourage scientists to clone dinosaurs.C. To give a simple introduction to dinosaurs.D. To stress the possibility of cloning dinosaurs. 29.The key to cloning dinosaurs is to gain .A. insect fossils

36、.B. dinosaur DNA.C. dinosaur blood.D. mosquitoes in amber.30. What is the authors opinion on cloning dinosaurs?A. Its a step away from success.B. It will be a fruitless attempt.C. It requires further research.D. It lacks creative work.31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Why was Jurassic

37、 Park successful?B. Reasons for dinosaurs dying outC. Can scientists clone dinosaurs?D. Ways of cloning dinosaursDFor many, music is as important to the human experience as eating and breathing. We hear music everywhereat home, the gym, parties and stores. But what kind of music do we prefer to list

38、en to, and when and why do our musical preferences change?The relationship between the change of seasons and musical preferences was the focus of a study led by psychologist Terry Pettijohn. He and his team based their research on a previous study that examined the relationship between popular music

39、 preferences and the Environmental Security Hypothesis ( 假设). The results showed that over time, when social and financial conditions were more risky, the songs of the year that were slower, longer, more comforting and serious were most popular. And during periods in which social and financial condi

40、tions were generally stable, the result is opposite.Building on these findings, Pettijohn and his team wondered if the Hypothesis could also be applied to the change of seasons. For college students, the participants in this study autumn begins at the start of the academic school year. Gone are the

41、carefree days of summer，when school is out. When summer comes clocks fall back, stealing an hour of daylight, which feel like losing precious time. Winter means colder temperatures, shorter days, and, in many places in the country, snow. Spring, however, is a different story. It represents a fresh s

42、tarts and when clocks spring forward, we gain an extra hour of day light. As students walk into summer, theyre absorbed in the sunshine and social activityand enjoy a break from school.But do changing seasonal conditions influence musical preferences? To answer this question, the researchers designe

43、d two studies. What did they find? Both groups of college students favored more serious music during the seasons of fall and winter, and more active and energetic music during the spring and summer seasons. And these findings, Pettijohn argues, have practical significances.32. What is the purpose of

44、 the question raised in Paragraph 1?A. To present a different opinion on music.B. To prove where to listen to music matters.C. To introduce the topic on musical preferences.D. To stress the importance of music to humans.33. What influences a persons choice of music types according to the previous st

45、udy?A. Whether one has enough free time.B. Whether one lives in a stable situation.C. Whether one is exposed to sunlight.D. Whether one chooses to change his life.34. What does Paragraph 3 imply?A. Spring has a special meaning to people.B. Students arent fond of school in any season.C. The Hypothesi

46、s disagrees with Pettijohns studies.D. The length of summer time is longer than winter time.35. How does Pettijohn feel about the findings of his studies?A. Its unexpected.B. Its significant.C. Its humorous.D. Its discouraging.第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 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。

47、BE A GOOD TOURISTTourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems. 36 Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the

48、UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. 37 If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someones life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future genera

49、tions, not destruction.Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life. 38 For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and othe

50、r public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. 39The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing loca

51、l traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! 40 Remember, whenever you step outside your countrys borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.A. Just think from other aspects.B. When in Rome, do a

52、s the Romans do.C. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist if possible.E. I have three words for people like this: please stop it.F. One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace.G. Some tourists wander around a
