Simple tasks, like standing on his own two feet, are impossible for him and he requires assistance

23、 for most activities we consider basic. But Just because hes someone who needs help, that doesnt mean he cant give help.At first Tobias decided to complete a sponsored one-kilometer walk. But for some reasons, the race was canceled, and Tobias plans were destroyed.The moment young Weller learned abo

24、ut Captain Tom, a 100-year-old British vet who has now raised 41 million dollars for charities by walking in his walker, he decided if a century-year-old man could walk for miles, he could also make it happen.Forget the one kilometer, Tobias was going to walk a marathon26.2 milesin order to raise mo

25、ney for his two favorite charities. He went up and down his street for months. First with 50 meters a day, but as he grew stronger, the distance expanded and eventually he built up to 750 meters a day. It took him 70 days to cross that finish line, but he did it.His mother, Ruth Garbutt, presented h

26、im with a medal as he crossed the finish line.She said: “Im so, so proud of Tobias. Im bursting with pride for all hes achieved and how hard hes worked during the marathonHe couldnt push the walker at the start of the marathon and now he can, he can push it on the flat and hes proved today he can pu

27、sh it uphill as well.”Honestly, just wow. The amount of pain and extreme tiredness he must have suffered during his walks is unimaginable. But he never stopped, he just kept pushing, and in the end he raised over $111, 000 for his charities.“Im pleased to raise loads of money. Other children who are

Strong-willed and kind.C. Courageous and honest.D. Determined and cooperative.CRegardless of how famous they are, a

30、nd despite the star treatment they receive, many celebrities make it a point to give back to charities. Some have even set up their own private foundations. Their widely publicised visits to troubled areas of the world help to raise awareness of issues such as famine and poverty. According to Jane C

31、ooper of Unicef UK, celebrities have a unique ability to reach huge numbers of people, many of whom might not otherwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pointed out that famous faces had played a significant role in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had produced tangible results,

32、 such as enabling millions of children in poorer countries to attend school.But in spite of these successes there is evidence to suggest that celebrity endorsement (代言) may be overrated. In a survey of members of the public to find out if celebrity involvement would encourage people to donate, resea

33、rchers foundthat the impact was not as great as previously thought. When shown a list of well-known organisations and famous people who represent them, over half of respondents were unable to match the celebrity with the cause. Whats more, three quarters claimed that they didnt respond to celebrity

34、endorsement in any way. The survey also showed that a few names did stand out as being associated with particular charities. But the presence of a celebrity in a campaign, was not a significant factor when it came to a decision to donate time or money. Instead, the majority of people contribute beca

35、use of personal connections in their lives and families which make a charity important to them.In another study aimed at young people, most participants cited a compelling (无法抗拒的) mission as their main motivation to give. The second most important incentive was if a friend or peer recommended suppor

36、ting a particular cause. Only two per cent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people. One possible explanation is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity cu

37、lture. There is also a suspicion that the stars are the one who benefit most when they offer to do charity work. Some critics have accused that celebrities might actually take attention away from issues by attracting more attention than the causes they represent.So taking all these issues into accou

38、nt, is it time for charities to rethink their campaign strategies and look for alternative ways to reach new audiences? Whichever point of view you favour, there seems to be opportunities for more research into how charity campaigns might develop relationships with celebrities to maximise their pote

39、ntial. This in turnwill open up more engagement, and better targeted campaigns-which can only benefit those who really matterthe people and animals that are in need of assistance.27. What does the underlined word “tangible” in paragraph I probably mean?A. Definite.B. Complicated.C. Limited.D. Tempor

40、ary.28. According to the passage, most people contribute to charities because .A. they gain benefit from the charitiesB. they are forced to finish a necessary taskC. they believe in the famous people they likeD. they are inspired by the people around them29. The third paragraph is mainly about .A. w

41、hat celebrities achieve in doing charitiesB. How young people react to celebrity cultureC. why young people are hardly influenced by celebritiesD. who is to blame for taking attention away from charities30. What is the authors attitude towards celebrity doing charities?A. Objective.B. Positive.C. Ne

42、gative.D. UnclearDEffective monitoring of endangered species is key to their survival. Studying the movement, range and habits of wild animals is essential in order to ensure their habitat remains free from poachers (偷猎者) and development. Traditional methods of monitoring wild animals, especially la

43、rge ones, include radio-tagging. To do this, individual animals must at first be captured so that collars or tags can be fitted.One organisation that adopted this technique was WildTrack. In the late 1990s, the team was using radio-collars to monitor black rhino in Namibia. However, the team soon re

44、alised that the chemicals used to immobilize the rhino in order to fit the collars had a negative impact on female fertility. Not only that but a large proportion of the radio-collars failed within the first 6 months and had to be replaced. Moreover, as animals grew, the collars would tighten, irrit

45、ating or even hurting the animal. The method was not only expensive, but it was also counterproductive, as it changed the rhinos behaviour, thus invalidating (使失效) the data collected. At the same time, the team was working alongside local trackers. Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills,

46、and these experts had years of experience in identifying individual animals by their footprints. They could effectively create a true picture of individual rhinos activities without the use of any invasive techniques. Consequently, the team were interested to know whether the trackers knowledge coul

47、d be successfully translated into an effective, computerised technique for monitoring animal movement.Within each species, each individual has its own unique foot characteristics, in the same way that humans have fingerprints. Thus, if an animal is sighted and identified just once, and the character

48、istics of its footprints properly photographed and measured, its footprint can be recognised whenever it is sighted again. If done repeatedly, conservationists can draw up a database of all, or at least a significant proportion of the individuals within the population. After that conservationists ca

49、n use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of purposes, for example to monitor biodiversity. WildTrack is currently using footprint identification technology in Greece to study the potential effect of a large highway construction through

50、brown bear habitat.Identifying an animal from its footprint is not without its challenges, however, as each time the individual places its foot on the ground, it leaves a slightly different track, according to the type of ground it is walking on, moisture levels and the way it is moving. In order to

51、 account for these variations, it is necessary to collect several tracks from each individual, including impressions from all four feet, on a range of surfaces.31. Compared with radio-collars, traditional animal tracking .A. is less accurateB. costs more moneyC. has less side effectsD. depends more

52、on computers32. According to the passage, the foot-print identification technology .A. needs more data to run betterB. develops from radio-collarsC. has not been put into practiceD. works under certain environment33. What does the passage imply?A. Technology holds the key to development.B. Tradition

53、al skills make better conservationists.C. Animal tracking sets a new trend in conservation.D. Creativity lies in the combination of the old and new.34. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To present WildTracks extraordinary work.B. To provide a new way of monitoring animals.C. To compare two

54、different methods of catching animals.D. To explain how to identify animals footprints effectively.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。False Memories or Parallel (平行的) Realities?Here is a common situation: Youre talking with someone about an event, only to discover t

55、hat you both remember things quite differently. Usually, youd put it down to a poor memory, but what if it wasnt just one person who remembered things differently? What if it was millions?In fact, this isnt a “what if” situation. Its known as the Mandela Effect, and it was first noticed in 2009 by p

56、aranormal researcher Fiona Broome. Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s. 35 Actually, hed been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.Broome was so shock

57、ed at this that she started an investigation. 36 People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoken. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (its southeast ). So what in the world is going on? 37

58、 In each reality, history is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another. Therefore, those who remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s arent wrong. Theyre just remembering events from their original reality.More likely, however, is t

59、hat the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information. 38 Many people remember Pikachus tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellow. “Aha!” you cry. “Parallel realities!” Probably not. Consider instead that people often ignore unfamiliar details and t

60、ransform information to make it more understandable. In the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips. 39All things considered, if youre stuck arguing win someone about whose version of events is

61、 correct, it may indeed be easier to agree that neither of you is wrong. You just come from different realities.A. Before we explain lets look at an example.B. It turns out she wasnt the only one whod experienced this.C. If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger soci

62、ally.D. The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.E. Some claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in one of many parallel realities.F. Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.G. As more incident

63、s of the Mandela effect continue to occur, perhaps more research into the origins will tell us the causes.第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32 分）第一节（共 4 小题；第 12 题每小题 2 分，第 3 小题 3 分，第 4 题 5 分，共 12 分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。A team of scientists has come up with a plan hey say could help rebuild the Arc

64、tic ice cap. The ice cap is a huge area of sea ice that covers most of the Arctic Ocean all year round.Usually, the sea ice gets thicker and spreads further each winter, but this hasnt happened for the past few years. Last month, the ice cap had shrunk to its smallest size since scientists began kee

65、ping records of it 38 years ago. The weather in the Arctic has been unusually warm this winter. Some days, temperatures have been 20 higher than is normal for this time of year. In March, the temperature was above 0 at least one day.The Arctic ice cap is needed to be rebuilt because sea ice reflects

66、 heat and light from the sun back into space. With less ice, the ocean would absorb more heat. The Arctic would warm up even more quickly, and more ice would melt. Without sea ice, many animals would lose their natural habitats and could become endangered. It could also affect the weather, with more

67、 storms and erosion along the coast.Dr. Steven Desch and a group of scientists from Arizona State University in the United States think they can help to build up Arctic sea ice again. They want to set up wind-powered pumps on the existing sea ice. During the winter, the pumps would spread water from

68、 the ocean over the surface of the ice where it would freeze and form a new layer of ice. The scientists say that in 10 years, this could add an extra metre of ice to the ice cap.The plan would require about 10 million pumps and it would be very expensiveabout $655 billion. Some other scientists are

69、 wondering if the pumps would actually work in severe Arctic conditions. They are also concerned about how the project might affect the environment.Dr. Desch said his team hoped their proposal would get more people interested in looking for a solution to the problem of melting sea ice. He said the o

70、nly plan people have right now is to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ( 排 放 ) from cars and other man-made sources. He and his team dont think that will be enough to save the sea ice, so theyre going to work on their plan and hope that it will give everyone a good start on saving the Arctic ic

Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.Some scientists were worried about the project and Dr. Desch hoped more people could help improve it.44.
