Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been
doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels ( 松 鼠 ), for
example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy
gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.
They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the
American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could
affect the growth of black walnut ( 黑 胡 桃 ) trees. The black walnut is the nut of
choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some
hardwood forests.
Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former
Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate
that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared
to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the
same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground.
Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels,
however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps
for seeds”.
Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers
began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to
spread through the state during the past century.
The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year,
unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red
squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem
more than a cause.
27.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.
A. find out the living conditions for squirrels
B. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut trees
C. do something to get rid of squirrels
D. save the forests in the American state of Indiana
28.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.
A. the way they gather the walnut
B. the time they have winter sleep
C. the place they have winter sleep
D. the place they store the walnuts
29.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that
________.
A. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels
B. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights
C. nuts above the ground will not develop into plants
D. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest
30.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.
B. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.C. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.
D. The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.
D
Four years ago，we asked ourselves: What if we could create a shopping experience
with no waiting in line and no checkout？Or could we create a physical store where
customers could simply take what they want and go？Our answer to those questions
is Amazon Go，where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”．
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world's
most advanced shopping technology ， so you never have to wait in line. With our
“just walk out shopping” experience，simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the
store，take the products you want，and go！No lines，no checkout.
Our checkout free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of
technologies used in selfdriving cars: computer vision，sensor fusion，and deep
learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are
taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart.
When you've done shopping，you can just leave the store. Shortly after，we'll charge
your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
We offer delicious readytoeat breakfast，lunch，dinner, and snack options made
fresh every day by our on site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our
selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made
chocolates. You'll find wellknown brands we love，plus special finds we're excited to
introduce to customers. For a quick homecooked dinner，pick up one of our chef
designed Amazon Meal Kits，and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
Our roughly 1，800squarefoot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑
的)，so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131，7th Ave，
Seattle，WA，on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an
Amazon account，a supported smartphone，and the free Amazon Go app.

Do teenagers know how to sleep？If you're the parent of teens，you might be
laughing to yourself. That's all they know how to do. In truth，teens might not know
enough about how to sleep，when to sleep and why.__36__．
Just as we focus on our diets and exercise for health，we need to consider sleep necessary to our mental，physical and psychological health. “Good” sleep is sleep that
is long enough to allow your brain to remove the side effects of daytime brain
activity. Consistent bed times and wakeup times are the key to keeping our sleep
cycles.__37__．
Teens are social creatures，and the most attractive social “gathering” place these
days is on their digital devices.__38__. Ideally，we should avoid blue light for at least
half an hour before bed. But social media and homework that requires screen time
mean too many kids are powering up their devices when their bodies should be
powering down for the night.
__39__．Equally contributing to sleep issues are eating too late，taking naps，and
failing to get enough exercise. In other words，these people never learned how to sleep.
Over time，poor sleep leads to a decline in mood.__40__. Significantly，when I
speak to my adult patients who are struggling with sleep issues，nearly all of them say
their sleep problems started in high school.
Therefore，I recommend sleep education. Otherwise, we won't necessarily solve
the health，safety and economic issues of sleepy teens.
A．When they are disturbed，our sleep is affected
B．Going to bed too late is only one part of sleep problems
C．Being exposed to blue light from our screens delays sleep
D．Current school schedules allow for about seven hours of sleep a night
E．It also contributes to a lot of medical issues，from being fat to heart disease
F．Later school start time really contributes to more sleep and improved health
G．As far as I'm concerned，one important element is missing: sleep education

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事.
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played
together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from
school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with( 插 手 ) this
quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them
to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward(胆小鬼), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry
went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at
him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play
with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he
learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not
deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just
ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.
However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had
some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they
didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a
lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out
of his depth. He struggled, and screamed (尖叫) for help, but all in vain. The boys
who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did
not even try to help him.

【参考答案】
Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry
happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes
and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last
time.By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called
Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their
rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were
friends again and they went home togetheras usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage
was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.

become much lighter.

way”可知，Sonia 现在很专注，尽力不去错过任何她遇到的机会。attentive“专心的”；
optimistic“乐观的”；enthusiastic“热情的”；fortunate“幸运的”。
42．B 解析：根据语境可知，此处表示 Sonia 从一个小男孩身旁走过。by“经过”。

色蜡笔，但是买不起。arrange“安排”；afford“买得起”；offer“主动提供”；gain“获
得，得到”。44．C 解析：根据上下文可知，空处表示转折。此处表示小男孩需要帮助，但
是 Sonia 并未意识到，故 But 符合语境。45.D 解析：Sonia 没有理睬小男孩，继续走自己的
路。continue“继续”，符合语境。remain“仍然是”；hurry“赶快”；hesitate“犹豫”。
46．D 解析：根据文意可知，此处指上帝给了你一个机会去帮助小男孩，但是你错过了。

50．A 由上文可知，Sonia 第一次忽略了小男孩而没有帮他，再次回去也没有找到他，所以
生自己的气。be angry at sb.“生某人的气”。

52．A 解析：现在 Sonia 所错过的是一个她只能后悔的(帮助别人的)机会。故用 regret“懊
悔”。53．D 解析：那天她学到她生命中最大的一个教训(lesson)。
54．B 解析：实际上，不仅 Sonia，我们很多人都会忽视从小的方面去帮助别人，因为我们
总是追求更大的方面的机会。55．C 解析：Sonia 过去也常常等待大的机会，但是现在她知
道了小的机会也能使她的生活有大的变化。此处表示过去和现在的对比，故选 C 项。
