I lay on the beach for a long time． When I felt stronger, I stood up and looked around． “Where am I?” I asked myself． “Is this an island or mainland? Are there any people here? Any dangerous wild animals?”

It was getting dark and I was still very tired．

“I must look for somewhere safe to spend the night,” I thought．

   ①    I found a big tree not far from the shore（岸）and I climbed up into the branches． It made a comfortable bed and I fell asleep at once．

The next morning the sky was blue and there was no wind． I could see the ship from my bed in the tree． I decided to swim to it．

   ②    First of all, I went to the kitchen because I was feeling very hungry． Luckily all the bread in the cupboard was still dry．

While I was walking around the ship I thought, “The ship is going to sink． I must make a raft and take all the food back to the shore before it’s too late．”

   ③    I found some pieces of wood on the ship． I threw them into the water and joined them together with ropes． It took me a long time, but I was happy with the result． My raft was big and strong．

I filled it with lots of useful things from the ship: tools, guns, gunpowder, food, drink and clothes．

Finally I made a little sail for my raft and I set off for the shore．    ④    It was a long, slow journey, but I arrived safely without losing anything．

I made two more trips to the ship that day． Then, before it got too dark, I built a small tent． I put everything inside it and went to bed．

A British man has learned the skills needed to perform（表演）Beijing Opera． In this way, he made the audience（观众）enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King．

Ghaffar Pourazar, born in Iran, became interested in Chinese culture when he was a child． In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera in London performed by actors from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing． Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, excellent shows and so on． So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school．

At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist． At that time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera． To him, it was the biggest obstacle． But he never gave up．

Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King． He always arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character．

Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect（方言）but has also attracted many fans of his performance． In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows． He even got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King．

To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches this traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries．

A． 1962                          B． 1993                          C． 1994                          D． 1998

When it’s getting colder outside, it’s time for flu season． But why do people catch a cold or flu more often when it’s old outside?

In a new study, scientists have found the answer． It turns out that the cold air damages(破坏) the immune response(免疫反应) in our noses．

The nose is an important part of our body’s immune system． When a virus goes into the nose, the nose discovers it, and the cells(细胞) there begin to create billions of simple copies of themselves called extracellular vesicles(EVs)．

“EVs can’t divide like cells, but they are like tiny forms of cells that can kill the viruses,” Benjamin Bleier, the author of the study from Harvard Medical School, told CBS News． “They are like little arms that catch the viruses as we breathe them in．” Then, the viruses sticking to EVs will be expelled(排出) from our body in the form of snot(鼻涕)．

However, when cold weather hits, the nose’s “superpower” becomes less powerful． The study found that when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5°C, nearly 50 percent of the billions of EVs will be taken out of the fight． Cold air makes people catch viruses more easily because “you’ve lost half of your immunity”, said Bleier．

This is why we should wear masks in winter． “Wearing masks can not only protect us from viruses, but it’s also like wearing a sweater on our nose,” Bleier said． Many other things are helpful too． For example, breathing in the hot air from tea can also help the nose fight better．

In the future, Bleier expects to see the development of nasal medications(鼻腔用药) that build upon this new finding．

38． People get colds more often on cold days because _________ is harmed by cold air．

A． the cells in the nose                                              B． the viruses around us

C． all the EVs in the nose                                          D． the immune response in the nose

39． EVs kill the viruses by _________．

A． stopping people from breathing in viruses               B． helping to get viruses out of the body through snot

C． dividing like cells and fighting the viruses              D． making viruses smaller and weaker

40． In the passage, the writer suggests that we _________．

A． keep our nose warm on cold days                          B． wear warm sweaters when it’s cold

C． buy nasal medications to cure a cold                       D． don’t go out when it’s getting colder

I sold my house and left my job． There was one thing that I just could not leave behind (留下): my cat Willow． There was a simple way to solve it—I went on a journey with my best animal friend!

In the past 3 years, we have travelled over 70,000 kilometers around Australia． We have seen forests and beaches together． This year, we spent three months in the desert． I’m happy to go back to the beautiful beach, but I’m not sure what Willow thinks．

Some people were surprised to find that I was travelling with a cat． I remember that once a backpacker (背包客) at a campsite shouted, “Excuse me, there is a cat trying to get into your van!”

I know． The van, a tiny house on wheels, is our home． I built it by myself with a bed, cupboards, a kitchen—and plenty of places for a little cat to hide! It might be small, but the whole Australia is our garden．

Willow enjoys exploring the places she has never visited, but she doesn’t like to go too far from our van． She loves to sit on the dashboard (仪表盘) to enjoy a great view． I put our photos on the Internet and look forward to hearing from people all over the world who are following our adventures．

We are lucky． We always have each other and the whole Australia to see． I will treasure the memory for a lifetime． If Willow has taught me anything, it is that happiness doesn’t require much． A bit of food, shelter and a whole lot of love will be well enough．

A zero-waste life is a new lifestyle that can help to protect the environment．

“Zero waste” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson． Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different ways to protect the environment, such as stopping the use of one-off(一次性) objects and giving unwanted things to others or organizations like the Red Cross．

Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply attracted by this idea． She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years． In the past, she often bought things without thinking twice about whether she needed them． Then one day she watched a video about “zero waste”． In the video, a family of four put the rubbish they produced every year in a can(罐)． After watching the video, Yu thought about experiencing this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend．

A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot(堆肥降解)． From August to October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish．

Now, the couple have opened a zero-waste shop in Beijing． In the shop, they provide daily zero-waste products to help people start a zero-waste life more easily． These products don’t have any plastic packages． And the shop prepares cloth bags instead of plastic ones for customers．

Besides, like the cloth bag, all products sold in the shop are reusable, because they are good and you can own them for a long time． The shop also has second-hand objects like books and clothes, in the hope of making the best of the used things． People who really need them can take them home for free．

“Those who once experienced this lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,” says Yu, “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics(苦行僧) but for everyone． It’s just around us at our fingertip(指尖)． To save the Earth, many hands make light work．”

根据短文内容完成句子，每空不限一词。

66． Bea Johnson suggested that people should try to create _________ in life and use different ways of _________

67． Yu used to buy things that weren’t very _________． But her lifestyle changed after she watched _________ about “zero-waste”．

68． In Yu’s shop, we buy things without any _________． We can own those good products for a long time so that they can _________ by us．

69． Yu hopes to make the best of _________． So her shop provides free _________ objects for people in need．

70． According to the last paragraph, Yu believes the zero-waste life is not _________ for us to live． She is expecting more people to _________ her．

参考答案

1． B

【解析】

【详解】句意：我父母总是告诉我成为一个诚实的人很重要。

考查冠词。person是可数名词单数，横线上需要填写不定冠词a/an。honest的元音音素开头，所以填an。故选B。

2． C

【解析】

【详解】句意：昨天，我忘带英语书了。幸运的是，杰克和我一起共用他的书。

考查代词辨析。him他，人称代词宾格；he他，人称代词主格；his他的，形容词性物主代词、名词性物主代词；he’s他是。根据“I forgot to bring my English book yesterday． Luckily, Jack shared．．．with me．”可知，我没带英语书，杰克和我共用他的英语书；空后无名词，所以用名词性物主代词his，指代his English book。故选C。
