Photographed every day for the past six months by Manhattan artist Sally Davies, the kids meal of fries and burger hasn’t any signs of mould(霉菌) or decay(腐烂).‎ Sally put the Happy Meal on a shelf in her apartment and watched it with increasing shock. Even her dogs stopped trying to steal a free tasty snack.‎ ‎“I bought the meal on April 10 this year and brought home to see how it changed,” she said. “I chose McDonald’s because it was nearest to my house, but the project could have been about any other fast food. The first thing that shocked me on the second day of the experiment was that it no longer gave out any smell. And my dogs stopped circling the shelf.”‎ Sally expected the food to go mouldy(霉变) after a few days. In fact, Mrs. Davies’ surprise turned to shock as the food still had not shown any signs of decay after two weeks. “It was then that I realized that something strange might be going on with this food that I had bought,” she explained. “The appearance of the food did not change as the weeks turned to months. And now, at six months old, the food is plastic to touch. The only change that I can see is that it has become as hard as a rock.”‎ The experiment has brought her amusement rather than fear. “Maybe I would be frightened at seeing this if I were a meat eater.” she said.‎ ‎24．Sally Davies kept the record of the McDonald’s Happy Meal by_________.‎ A. touching it B. drawing pictures of it C. smelling it D. taking photos of it ‎25．Mrs. Davies didn’t have the feeling of fear because _________.‎ A. the experiment could prove nothing B. she was a brave person C. she didn’t eat any meat D. this was not the case with all fast food ‎26．Before the experiment, Sally Davies had thought the food would_________.‎ A. turn into plastic B. become tasteless C. be covered with mould D. be stolen by her dog ‎27．What does the passage mainly tell us?‎ A. McDonald is the most convenient food B. McDonald’s Happy Meal tends to get bad easily C. How to store the kids meal of fries and burger.‎ D. McDonald’s Happy Meal shows no sign of decay after six months C A new railway design is allowing the latest high-speed rail line to pass through national natural reserves while causing only small effect to local wildlife.‎ The Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed rail is the first bullet train to cut through the Qinling Mountains, in Shaanxi province, which are home to many rare wild animals including the giant panda, golden monkey, crested ibis and golden takin（羚牛）.‎ It is one of three major habitats for the wild giant panda, with about 345 of China’s 1,864 wild giant pandas living there, according to the fourth National Survey on Giant Pandas released in 2015. The railway will also pass through a major Tianhuashan Mountain reserve, a giant panda habitat.‎ ‎＂When researching the railway route, we avoided laying tracks more than 1,500 meters above sea level, where the majority of wildlife gathers,＂ said Lai Wenhong, an engineer from the China Railway First Survey and Design Institute Group, who is in charge of the railway’s environmental design.‎ More than 90 percent of the railway through the Qinling Mountains is tunnels and bridges, said Liu Shuangjin, general chief designer of the line’s Shaanxi section from the China Railway First Survey and Design Institute Group.‎ ‎＂The advantage of tunnels is to reduce vibration(震动) when a train passes by,＂ Lai said.‎ The average depth of the tunnels is 400 meters, and the deepest is 1,000 meters. Bridges are constructed to link tunnels. Protective things have been placed at the mouths of tunnels in the Qinling Mountains to keep wild animals from falling. During operation, trains are forbidden from using horns in wildlife habitats.‎ The line also passes through the Yangxian county reserve, home to crested ibis, a rare bird. The 4-meter-high mesh(网状物) on the sides of bridges higher than 10 meters will prevent the birds from flying into the path of trains, which is safer for the birds and the trains.‎ ‎28．The Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed rail passes through the following reserves except __________.‎ A. the Qinling Mountain reserve B. the Yangxian county reserve C. the Taihang Mountain reserve D. the Tianhuashan Mountain reserve ‎29．What animals is the Tianhuashan Mountain reserve set up mainly for?‎ A. The golden monkey. B. The giant panda.‎ C. The crested ibis. D. The elephant.‎ ‎30．Why are so many tunnels built on the Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed rail?‎ A. To protect endangered wildlife. B. To lower the cost of construction.‎ C. To reduce the distance of the line. D. To connect different bridges.‎ ‎31．What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. Rail design keeps wildlife safe B. More national reserves are set up C. The railway’s environmental design is important D. The Xi’an-Chengdu rail is under construction D With child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.‎ For instance, a little child’s pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration（探索）. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents ‎ view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition（叛逆）, they are more likely to accept and properly monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child’s safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.‎ There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young child’s attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates(表明) a teen’s need for independence.‎ The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited（展示） in simple forms that can be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesn’t mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a child’s behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they’re dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they respond.‎ ‎32．According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior ________.‎ A. occurs at different levels B. is very changeable C. is inacceptable D. is fully understood by adults ‎33．The examples in the Paragraph 2 mainly shows that ________.‎ A. parents should properly punish child behavior B. there are different attitudes to child behavior C. children’s behavior shows their interests D. parents should keep their children’s safety in mind ‎34．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.‎ A. child behavior reflects a child’s need B. children spending time with friends show their selfishness C. what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspects D. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parents ‎35．What does the writer suggest parents should do with a child’s behavior?‎ A. Have a positive attitude towards it. B. Ignore the improper behavior.‎ C. View it at the basic level. D. Watch over it from head to foot.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ Lazy people will never achieve anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.‎ ‎36 . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency（倾向） to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.‎ Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more protective approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37．_____‎ Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. 38．_________‎ ‎39． Spouses(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.‎ ‎40． enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.‎ A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.‎ B. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.‎ C. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.‎ D. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.‎ E. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.‎ F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.‎ G. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Madison Williams, aged 13, was studying in her bedroom in Dublin, Ohio.
