B Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed: “I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that; it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new." Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility: “The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realized that I could do anything, so I should. Fahey rode across Africa,a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had a life-changing impact. Fahey said:“Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you're out on the bike and there's nothing else, you're really free to experience what life is." Post-degree,Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP (United Nations Development Project) in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities. It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment. “It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack (挂篓） systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again." Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company. In 2013,Apidura was born,producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike,race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand, but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people. 24. Why did Fahey leave her job in Canada? A. She was bored with the job. B.She was disappointed with life. C. She wanted to add new dimensions to her life. D.She found it hard to adjust to the circumstances. 25. Which can best describe Fahey's ride experience in Africa? A.Demanding. B. Liberating. C.Eventful. D.Dangerous. 26.Why did Fahey launch Apidura? A. To encourage bicycle traveling. B. To make her investment profitable. C. To help cyclists carry traveling stuff. D. To increase the pleasure of riding bikes. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. A tough path to fame. B. An adventure across Africa. C. The benefits of green travelling. D. The story behind the birth of Apidura. C Folk tales have saddled (使承担） the moon with major responsibilities: moods, increases in crime and even mental disorders are blamed on the Earth's only constant natural satellite. But could the “lunar effect” disturb sleep? Scientists have long understood that human activity is facilitated by light, be it sunlight, moonlight or artificial light. But a recent study suggests our ability to sleep is distinctly affected by the lunar cycle, even when taking into account artificial sources of light. Using wrist monitors, researchers tracked sleep patterns in 98 individuals living in three local communities in Argentina over the course of one to two months. One rural community had no electricity access, a second rural community had limited access to electricity, while a third community was located in an urban setting and had full access to electricity. Participants in all three communities showed the same pattern of sleep oscillations (波动） as the moon progressed through its 29.5-day cycle, with sleep duration changing by between 20 and more than 90 minutes, and bedtimes varying by 30 to 80 minutes. In each community, the peak of participants sleeping less and staying up later occurred in the three-to-five-day period prior to full moon nights, and the opposite occurred on the nights before the new moon, the authors found. Unsurprisingly, data showed the “lunar phase effect” on sleep appeared to be stronger the more limited access to electricity was. “The result strongly suggests that human sleep is synchronized( 同 步 ） with lunar phases regardless of ethnic and socio- cultural background and of the level of urbanisation,” the researchers wrote in the journal Science Advances. De la Iglesia added: “We humans tend to believe that we managed to somehow control nature, and the use of artificial light is a great example of that. But it turns out that there are some forces of nature that we cannot get away from." Derk-Jan Dijk, a professor of sleep and physiology and the director of a sleep research centre at the University of Surrey, described the study as exciting but noted that the researchers had not addressed internal influences such as body clocks that could affect sleep patterns. 28. What is the recent study mainly about? A. The harm of lunar effect. B. The reliability of folk tales. C. The function of artificial light. D. The effect of the lunar cycle on sleep. 29. When did the participants in the experiment sleep least? A. On the full moon night. B. On the new moon night. C. On the night after the new moon. D.On the night before the full moon. 30. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph but one refer to? A. Controlling nature. B. The level of urbanisation. C.The escape from forces of nature. D. Synchronizing with lunar phases. 31.What did Derk-Jan Dijk think of the research findings? A.Groundless. B.Persuasive. C.Incomplete. D. Impressive. D High-pitched( 高 音 的 ） and yet distinct, the sound of a voice calling the name “Amy” is unmistakable. But this isn't a human cry-it's the voice of a killer whale called Wikie. New research reveals that orcas (杀人鲸） are able to imitate human speech, saying words such as “hello” ， “one, two” and “bye hye". The study also shows that the creatures are able to copy unfamiliar sounds produced by other orcas. Writing in the journal Biological Sciences, researchers from institutions in Germany, UK, Spain and Chile, describe how they carried out the latest research with Wikie, a 14-year-old female orca living in an aquarium (水族馆） in France. After first brushing up Wikie's grasp of the “copy” command, she was trained to imitate three familiar orca sounds made by her 3-year-old Moana. Wikie was then additionally exposed to five orca sounds she had never heard before, including noises sounding like a creaking (嘎吱响） door. Finally, Wikie was exposed lo a human making three of the orca sounds, as well as six human sounds, including “hello”， “Amy”， “ah ha”， “one, two" and “bye bye”。 The team found that Wikie was often quickly able to copy the sounds, whether from an orca or a human, with all of the novel noises copied within· 17 trials. What's more, two human sounds and all of the human-produced orca sounds were managed on the first attempt-although only one human sound “hello” was correctly produced more than 50% of the time on subsequent trials. The creatures are already known for their ability to copy the movements of other orcas, with some reports suggesting they can also copy the sounds of bottlenose dolphins and sea lions after several trials. Scientists say the discovery helps to cast light on how different groups of wild killer whales have ended up with distinct accents, adding weight to the idea that they are the result of imitation between orcas. 32. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A. To analyze orcas' speech abilities. B. To highlight the conservation of the orca. C. To inform us of orcas' ability to imitate sounds. D. To convince us of the intelligence of the orca. 33. What's the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The process of the research. B. The outcome of the research. C. The purpose of the research. D. The significance of the research. 34.Which of the following was the easiest for Wikie to copy? A. The six human sounds. B. All the new orca sounds. C.Human-produced orca sounds. D. Dolphin and sea lion sounds. 35. What may the discovery help explain? A. Why orcas imitate human speech. B. Why orcas have different accents. C. How orcas copy others' movements. D. How orcas communicate with others. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 We are taught from childhood that warming up is a must in preparation for any exercise. It allows us to prepare our muscles for the strain (拉力） we are about to place on them and prevent injury. 36 These all prepare for an effective workout. 37 It prevents dizziness, helps return the heart rate back to normal and prevents chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Also known as “blood pooling", CVI occurs when the blood in blood vessels (血 管） expands during prolonged exercise, making it difficult for it to return to the heart from the legs. According to many health and fitness instructors, the total cool-down period should last 3 to 10 minutes, or until you are ready to stop. 38 For example, if you have been working your legs, you will need to do lower body stretches or a slow walk. There are many helpful tutorials online. The best way to measure whether you have cooled down effectively is purely based on common sense-if you feel your heart rate has reduced, that's enough. There is no research to prove stretching after a session will help reduce pain, but if you feel it helps, do so. 39 Cooling down methods, including foam rollers, a sports massage or dry needling, are worth investigating. 40 If the pain is there the next day, consult your doctor, and, more importantly, warm up more thoroughly next time. A. It is down to personal preference. B. Fast walking is the simplest exercise. C. If you are not flexible, lower your upper body. D. If you experience any pain when stretching, stop. E. But cooling down is as important as warming up. F. Areas to target depend on which part of the body you have trained. G. More importantly, it steadily increases the heart rate and blood flow. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I'm a geologist.

I wasn't in the mood for being onstage. “Kate, come here,” my mom called from down the hall. I found my mom outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. Henry, my new stepbrother, was nearby, working on a complicated string knot (结）， as usual. My mother gave the book a shake. “Henry's book is in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” “Not on purpose,” I said. “It was already on the edge, and it happened to fall in when I stepped out of the tub." My mother glared at me,something she never did before I had a stepfamily.“You could have picked it up,” she said. “That would have been the kind thing to do.” As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside. “This is our comer of the world now, Kate,” she said. “Let's try to make it a good one.” The community theater was busy when we got there. Theater used to be what my mom and I did together-one play a year for our special thing. With Henry involved, it didn't seem so special anymore. Henry's dad, who had arrived earlier to help set up, was already in costume. “Dear children,” he called in a theatrical voice, “Come to Father.” I thought he was a nice guy even before he and my mother started dating. Unfortunately, I now had a stepbrother to deal with. Soon, it was curtain time. I peeked (偷看） out at the audience and noticed that the darkened theatre was full. My heart beat faster. I forgot my annoyance at Henry as the lead actress sang, “The hills are alive with the sound of music! " Nothing compared to show nights. Before long, it was my turn. I went onstage, song book in hand. As we kids lined up before Henry's dad, who was playing the part of our father, I realized how poorly I'd tied the string on my skirt which was over leggings (打底裤）。 I should have asked my mom for help. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And then,suddenly, the string knot on my skirt came untied. I shot Henry a grateful glance.
