阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Cold Dew (寒露), the 17th solar term of the year, begins this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23.
At this time, temperatures are much lower than in White Dew in most areas of China. The dew is greater and colder and there will be less rain. Autumn crops will be ripe.
Here are four things you should know about Cold Dew.
Foggy autumn
Temperatures drop a lot in October. When the cold air meets with autumn rain, the water vapor in the air soon reaches saturation(饱和), and then it turns into misty rain or fog, causing many areas foggy in China.
Season for fishing
People always say that fishing in shallow water in autumn does make sense. That’s because during the Cold Dew period, temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine cannot reach the deep water thoroughly. Fish all swim to shallow water areas where the water temperature is relatively high.
Season for drinking chrysanthemum wine
Chrysanthemum is the typical flower of Cold Dew. To prevent autumn dryness, many regions in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine. This is a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival (on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar), which often falls around Cold Dew.
A great time for hiking
During Cold Dew, North China takes on a look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves and early frost. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, people often climb hills with cornels, a kind of plant. This custom aims to drive away evils, and dated from the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-220).
21. How long does Cold Dew last this year?
A. 24 days B. 17 days C. 15 days D. 23 days
22. Fishing in shallow water in autumn makes sense because _________.
A. the water temperature there is higher than that of deep water
B. it can drive away evils and enjoy the beauty of autumn
C. the temperature drops a lot with the fog appearing in October
D. it is the custom to prevent autumn dryness in many regions
23. In which part of newspaper may we find the passage?
A. business B. sports C. culture D. travel
B
J．K．Rowling turned another year older this week. Born Joanne Rowling, J．K．Rowling is, of course, her adopted pen name. Concerned that young boys might not go for a book written by a woman, her publisher suggested she come up with a pseudonym. So, upon combining her first initial with the initial of her paternal grandmother, Kathleen, the moniker J．K．Rowling was born.
Interesting fact about Rowling：apparently, she can only fool some of the people some of the time.
Back in April of this year, a crime novel appeared on the shelves．It was entitled The Cuckoo's Calling, and it was written by Robert Galbraith. According to Galbraith’s bio, he spent “several years with the Royal Military Police” and the leading character of his novel, a fellow by the name of Cormoran Strike, “grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends.” Only, upon further review, he didn’t! The book was actually penned by J．K．Rowling, who apparently wanted to try and sell a novel based on complete craftsmanship rather than on her name.
Unfortunately, however, the wife of a partner in the media firm in whom she placed he trust, shared the secret on Twitter. Rowling was angry and disappointed concerning the betraying of trust.
I'm not sure whether I would be terribly upset for too long, if I were her. Previous to her being known as the author, Rowling saw her book listed 4,709th on Amazon. After the big reveal, her book jumped all the way to No．1!
More importantly, I think she got what she wanted. The novel has received nearly universal critical acclaim. Rowling passed her own test with flying colors. Clearly, she’s pretty good at her craft!
In any case, I personally look forward to reading her newest writing endeavor.
24. Why was Joanne Rowling advised to use a male pen name?
A. It was a common practice.
B. Her grandmother didn’t like her name.
C. The publisher wanted to give readers a surprise.
D. Women writers might not be popular with boy readers.
25. Why didn’t J．K．Rowling publish her new book under her name?
A. She thought her name was out of date.
B. She intended to prove her writing ability.
C. Readers didn’t like her books any longer.
D. She thought a new name could make her more popular.
26. What does the word“acclaim”underlined in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. High praise B. Great respect C. Severe criticism D. Much sympathy
27. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Book is Off Sale B. Her Door is Open
C. The Secret is Out D. Her Effort is in Vain
C
Plants cannot run or hide, so they need other strategies to avoid being eaten. Some curl up their leaves; others produce chemicals to make themselves taste bad if they sense animals drooling on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on them—all signals of an attack. New research now shows some flora can feel a plant-eating animal well before it launches an attack, letting a plant prepare a preemptive(抢先的)defense that even works against other pest species.
When ecologist John Orroek of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slime—a liquid the animals release as they slide along—into soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased their levels of an enzyme(生化酶), which is known to prevent plant-eating animals. “None of the plants were ever actually attacked.” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.”
Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning impact on another potential threat. The investigators found that hungry-caterpillars(毛虫), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving their overall possibilities of survival, says Orrock, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.
The finding that a snail’s approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the study. “It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects,” Karban says. The research was comprehensive, he adds, but he wondered how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slim that never actually touched them.
“That’s the million-dollar question,” Orrock says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.
28. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Defense Attack B. Greedy Animals C. A Snail’s Approach D. Watchful
Plants
29. John Orrock sprayed a liquid into soil nearby tomato plants to_______．
A. give tomato plants a warning B. make them grow better
C. keep plant—eating animals away D. inform plant-eating animals of danger
30. Why is the example of “caterpillars” mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce another animal． B. To confirm the result of the study．
C. To appeal to people to protect animals. D. To analyse different resistance chemicals．
31. What does Richard Karban really want to know?
A. How tomato plants become aware of danger．
B. What the chemicals in the snail slime are．
C. Whether the research is of practical value．
D. What the finding of the research is．
D
Digital grounding is when parents or caregivers limit or completely take away access to technology from children. According to a study conducted by Pew Research, 65％of parents have digitally grounded their teen by taking away their teen’s cellphone or Internet access as punishment.
Because children are so connected with their technologies, digital grounding may seem like a logical step for parents. Take away a child’s most cherished item and they will quickly learn from their behavior. But the idea of digital grounding isn’t as clear-cut as that. Instead, it may be a lose-lose situation for parents and kids, alike.
For most parents, the goal of grounding isn’t to make their children unhappy or sad. It is to teach a lesson in the hope that they won’t engage in whatever behavior got them in trouble in the first place. Unfortunately, though, digital grounding is often just punishment, not discipline. If a child stays out past curfew(约定的最晚回家时间), a punishment would be hitting or yelling at them. Discipline would be not letting them go out the next weekend because they failed to follow rules.
We’ve all been there—we’ve caught our child doing something wrong and in the heat of the moment laid out a strict punishment. We may have been feeling hot-headed, embarrassed, or upset. Often, though, these punishments don’t align with the bad behavior.
While digital grounding may solve the problem temporarily, it won’t provide children with the guidance they need to act appropriately in the future. Instead of grounding, show your child what they did wrong and give them the chance to act differently. This way, they will learn from their mistakes in a practical manner and figure out ways to be safe and smart with technology.
There’s no denying it：technology is here for the long-haul. This is why some parenting experts don’t recommend digitally grounding your children. It doesn’t focus on the end goal of safe behavior. They recommend teaching them good habits as soon as possible, rather than taking away their technology. By digitally grounding them, you are putting a bandage over the wound, rather than treating it.
Now, when we say that digital grounding is a lose-lose situation, we’re not saying that disciplining your children in general is a lose-lose situation. Discipline is a great way to teach children lessons, when used appropriately.
32. Which of the following is a form of discipline?
A. Hitting or yelling at children.
B. Laying out a strict punishment in the heat of the moment.
C. Taking away access to cellphones from children completely.
D. Forbidding kids to go out the next weekend if they stay out past curfew.
33. What does the author think of digital grounding?
A. It benefits children a great deal.
B. It is no better than disciplining.
C. Parents can use it to correct kids’ behavior.
D. Neither parents nor children gain benefits from it.
34. What does the author suggest parents do instead of grounding?
A. Give kids more free time. B. Help kids form good habits.
C. Act appropriately in public. D. Put a bandage over the wound.
35. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To inform us of ways of punishing kids.
B. To explain what digital grounding means.
C. To show how to parent children in digital times.
D. To prove digital grounding is not a good parenting way.

Does your mood change with the seasons?
Some people find that when the temperature goes down, so do their spirits. ___36___ They eat more and gain weight. They have trouble sleeping. They can’t think clearly. Here are some ways you can beat the winter blues：

Get some exercise. A walk or other exercise will make chemicals called endorphins (内啡肽）flow through your body. Endorphins are natural “feel good” chemicals.

The Sweetest Thing
When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town 41 with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favorite candy on the shelf.

Dressed in a suit, he seemed to be late for something, 42 waiting for his cash to appear. The machine made a noise, and he immediately 43 _ a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously, I walked over to the ATM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the 44 . Then I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful $20 bill! 45 I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear, I knew the man in the suit must have left it behind.
I held the money in my hand, staring at the number “20” and feeling 46 than I ever had. I thought about putting the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn’t feel 47 . I knew it didn’t belong to me. I had to find its owner and give it back! So I told my mom what had happened. “We’ll look for him.” she said kindly. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car in the parking lot! We 48 to him and asked whether he had left money at the cash machine.
Let me 49 ,” he said, pulling out his wallet and bills. “Twenty, forty, eighty…Oh! You’re right,” he said with surprise, “I’m 50 a $20 bill.”
“Here you go,” I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a(n) 51 who had solved a mystery. “Thank you so much,” he said, bending down and 52 my hand. My heart swelled. Before saying goodbye, he asked my mom for my name and 53 . “I want to send your daughter a thank-you card,” he said.
On my way home, my 54 was racing. Twenty dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar in town! But now 55 of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.
A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I ripped it open to find packages of candy.
“Dear Felicia, Thank you very much for 56 my $20. You are a great girl, and I appreciate your 57 . I hope you enjoy this candy. Best Wishes, Tom.” Tom included his business card. It turned out he was vice-president for the candy company. The candy tasted sweet, each 58 reminding me that what I had done mattered. Although my honesty wouldn’t always be 59 with candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the 60 part of all.
