B
I’ve had many wonderful holidays, but my favorite memory is that of a few summer weeks spent in
Italy when I was about 13. My mom had to go to a clinic there for treatment, and we all went together as
a family and took the opportunity to have a beautiful vacation as well. It was the first time abroad for
me and it was a vacation that broadened my perspective, taught me a lot, and helped shape a bit of who I
am today.
Although we did visit many famous places in northern Italy, we stayed mostly in a little town
where some friends of my parents lived. Nothing helped me understand Italian culture better than my
stay in this picturesque and magical town that many haven’t even heard of.
Thanks to the holiday spent in Italy, I, quite a shallow girl, also discovered my passion for music,
which stayed alive in me to this day and will probably stay forever. My parents’ friends had a son,
Ricardo, who was a pianist. Dad had repeatedly but unsuccessfully tried to make me study an
instrument and stick to it. However, when I heard Ricardo play, I instantly fell in love with music and
felt a great desire to learn it. Ricardo taught me the first song I ever played on the piano, a silly, playful
little tune that I still know by heart.
We took a short trip to the Italian Alps at some point. I had never seen such majestic beauty before!
The snow-covered peaks, the intimidating rocks, the fresh, harsh air—what an experience! And what I
remember impressed me the most was the fact that, although this was a popular touristic area, the region
was incredibly clean, still “natural”, with places that seemed to never have been touched by humans.
Then, the shallow teen that I was learned what a real treasure nature is and how important it is to protect
it.
24. What was the main purpose for the author and her family to go to Italy?
A. To cure the author’s mother of her illness.
B. To have a family reunion while travelling.
C. To broaden and shape the author’s perspective.
D. To experience and learn from another culture.
25. What contributed to the author’s passion for music?
A. Her father’s instructions. B. Ricardo’s performance.
C. The piano she played on. D. The local music culture.
26. The trip to the Italian Alps helped the author learn to ________.
A. stick to her own passion B. balance between cultures
C. get rid of her shallowness D. cherish and protect nature
27. What would be the best title of the text?
A. My Favorite Holiday Memory B. A Trip Shaping My Personality
C. Lessons from a Foreign Culture D. My Passion for Music and Nature
C 英语试卷 第 5 页 共 10 页
Music has a great effect on everyone. But does music affect plants, too? People have been
experimenting with music for almost three decades. From school-level projects to higher-level scientific
experiments, the effect of music on plants has been a confusing and debatable topic.
We know music is sound and sound is nothing more than a wave. Plant growth is a result of the
cell division that takes place within the cells. But why is music associated with plant growth? In humans,
music has a strong effect on our health and mood, and over the years, people have claimed that the same
effect has been observed on plants, too. Plants are sensitive by nature, and many people claim that they
have feelings just as humans do. There are stories about plants shedding tears. Although scientists do
not support these as facts, these myths have led them to take up various experiments on plants.
Various studies have proved that plants respond to acoustic (音响的) energy. It increases their rate
of growth and their size, and influences their overall health. Dan Carlson, after a thorough study over
many years, has reached a conclusion that music helps plants absorb nutrients (养分) more efficiently.
It took Dan about fifteen years to develop a foliage spray (叶面喷剂) that is used beneficially with
the sound frequencies. Carlson calls this spray “Sonic Bloom”. His findings have proved to be
beneficial for countless farmers and have resulted in－according to Guinness Book of World Records－
the largest indoor plant on record. The Purple Passion was treated with the Sonic Bloom process. It
grew to be 1,300 feet tall and was alive even after 25 years. Its normal lifespan (寿命), however, is 18
months and it grows not more than 18 feet tall. The book, Secret of the Soil, writes about Sonic Bloom
and its results. Sonic Bloom is also sold in the market.
24. What inspired scientists to experiment with plants?
A. The effects of music on humans.
B. Plants are sensitive by nature.
C. The cell division taking place within the cells.
D. People’s debatable opinion of the effect music has on plants.
25. What is the main idea of Para.3?
A. Nutrients are important to plants.
B. Music can have some good effects on plants.
C. How the rate of growth of plants can be improved.
D. What kinds of music can contribute to the growth of plants.
26. What did Dan Carlson develop?
A. A spray called “Sonic Bloom”.
B. A method to grow larger plants.
C. A special plant that grows very fast.
D. Acoustic energy that plants respond to.
27. Why is the Purple Passion included in Guinness Book of World Records?
A. It is the oldest indoor plant.
B. It is the largest indoor plant.
C. It gives off the most pleasant smell.
D. It can grow in the toughest conditions.
D 英语试卷 第 6 页 共 10 页
Captain America and Blackpanther were about to defend Earth from the criminal Thanos when
Kevin Foley first noticed something was wrong. Foley, a 46-year old information-technology worker
from Kyle, Texas, was heading into the theater to see Avengers: Infinity War when he realized he was
having trouble breathing normally. The same symptom struck again during another movie the following
night, but more severe this time. Once the cast on the second film rolled, Foley took action: he looked at
his wristwatch. It was a bigger step than you might imagine, because Foley was wearing an Apple
Watch equipped with medical sensors and experimental software to track basic functions of his heart.
And the watch was worried. It had, according to the display, detected signs of an irregular heartbeat.
Before long, Foley was in an emergency room, where doctors hooked him up to an ECG (心电图),
which showed that he was in atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), an irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood
clots ( 血 栓 ), stroke and other potentially disastrous diseases. Foley spent the next few days in the
hospital while doctors worked to return him to a normal heart rhythm eventually turning to a procedure
called electrical cardioversion to shock his heart back to normal. Foley is doing fine now. But he
believes that, if not for the warning on his watch, he might not have sought help in time. “I would have
never known,” he says.
Foley and his watch were part of an experiment run by Apple and Stanford’s medical school. But
beginning from Dec. 6, anyone can get an on-the-fly heart checkup, assuming they’ve paid $399 or
more for an Apple Watch. That’s when Apple will launch a software update that turns its latest model,
called the Series 4, into a personal ECG, thanks to an innovative new sensor. Though less complicated
than hospital ECG machines, the watch version can still provide basic information and warnings of
potential risks worthy of a closer look by a medical professional.
32. What was Foley doing when he realized his heart condition was abnormal for the first time?
A. He was working in the theatre.
B. He was detecting his watch.
C. He was on the way to see a film.
D. He was equipping his Apple Watch with a medical sensor.
33. How can Foley’s wristwatch detect signs of an irregular heartbeat?
A. By being hooked straight up to an EGG in an emergency room.
B. By being equipped with an innovative new medical sensor.
C. By being paid not less than $399 for the latest Apple Watch.
D. By being accessible to Food and Drug Administration clearance for the heart monitor.
34. According to the passage, if someone wants to get an on-the-fly heart checkup, he or she________.
A. can buy a new Apple Watch Series 4
B. can purchase an Apple Watch of any model
C. can equip himself/herself with an ECG machine
D. can have his or her old Apple Watch updated
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Sports.
C. Education. D. Health.

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。
If you find yourself faced with a family emergency in college, take a deep breath and spend 20-30
minutes doing the following. 36
Notify your professors and academic adviser.
You don’t have to go into too much detail, but you do need to let your professors know what’s
going on. 37 Ideally, everyone will then be aware of your situation and won’t punish
you for having to miss class, be late on an assignment, etc. Additionally, your adviser should reach out
in response and offer you some resources that can help with your situation.
Tell the people you live with what’s going on.
Again, you don’t need to share more than you need to. But your roommates might wonder what’s
going on if you leave without telling them for a few days. 38 Even if you just leave a
note or send an email, it’s better to let people know that, for example, you're heading home to visit a
sick relative than to cause undue worry or concern over your unexplained absence.
39
Whether it’s your best friend on campus or a favorite auntie who lives 3,000 miles away if you’re
facing an emergency family situation, check-in with those who support you the best. A quick phone call,
text message, email, or even video chat can do wonders to update them as well as provide you with
some love and support. 40 After all, if your friend or loved one were in your situation,
you likely would be more than happy to support him or her whenever possible. Let yourself be
supported by those around you as you deal with your situation.
A. Tap into your support systems.
B. Think about using the counseling center.
C. Be as honest as you can without being dramatic.
D. Whatever situation you are in, telling your relatives and professors can be of great use.
E. Don’t be afraid to reach out to those who love you the most when you need them the most.
F. While it seems like you don’t have the time, these small tips can do wonders for your situation.
G. Similarly, your classmates might start to be concerned if he or she sees you missing class or coming
and going at odd hours.

Dear Wang Fang,
I’m sorry to hear that you are troubled by something. And I’m glad to give you some
advice on the problem you are faced with. As you said, your teachers and parents suggest
you give up playing volleyball because of the college entrance examination.
First of all, you should understand your teachers and parents, who just want the best
for you. Secondly, I think you should reduce the time spent playing volleyball instead of
giving it up. Thirdly, you should arrange your time properly. As long as you can make a
balance between your study and hobby, your teachers and parents will surely not object to
it.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
