The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued(粘) to her mothers skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always dri

11、ven to school by her mother.One Friday, Janices mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine

12、 without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her?

13、anice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, Id like to help. Janices mother thanked me for my understanding.On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived

14、and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with

18、Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans. Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is t

19、o develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device(装置) called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the worlds oceans,” said Slat. Three of the mach

20、ines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases. Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, whi

21、ch means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans clean again,” said Slat. The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is

22、 shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come a

23、nd empty it when it is full.24. What do we know about Interceptor? A. It needs solar power to work. B. It can help put waste into groups. C. It is being under test. D.

Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A magazine. D. A novel.CIts important for children to tak

25、e part in social activities during their summer holidays. “Kids should have a break during the summer. Theyve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. Hes a professor at Ba

26、ylor College of Medicine in Houston. Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment（电子设备）, then they will fai

27、l to communicate with others,” Han said. “In todays world, its very easy for kids to stay indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should restrict the time that their children spen

28、d on electronic equipment. For example, the time they spend on their phones cannot be more than one hour a day.” Its also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “Its not the length of time, but the quality of time that families spend together that is

29、 really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else. It doesnt matter how old the child is, because family bonding (亲密关系) experiences can happen at any time.” Having children spend time with friends and families doesnt have to spend money in

30、the wallet, either. For example, going to the neighborhood swimming pool or having a picnic is a great way to spend quality time together.28.

33、 is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of friends and families. B. The suitable ways to spend summer holidays. C. The introduction of some social activities. D. The necessity of face-to-face communication.DLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times the

34、re has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated (居住) by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten millio

35、n people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling (定居,安定) down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation (工业化), the development of the nation-state

36、and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation (全球化) and better communications in the past few decades (十年), all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has abo

37、ut 6,800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely uneven (不均衡). The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about

38、 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is an only 6,000, which means that half of the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,8

39、00 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to ha

40、ve much chance of survival.32. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected33. Which of the following best explains dominant underlined in paragraph 2？A. Complex. B.

41、Advanced.C. Modern. D. Powerful.34. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400.C. About 2,400. D. About 1,200.35. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created.B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected (反映) in languages.C. Geog

42、raphy decides language development.D. Human development results in fewer languages.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Going from middle school to freshman year of high school is a big change. 36 Be open to new friendships.High school is all about experiencing new things, i
