You were just out. What, not the back door, you want out the front?" I was very surprised that our beautiful cat wanted out again.‎ Several days later, I realized that almost every day she had been asking to be let out at 1: 00 p. m. and always wanted the front door instead of the back door she normally used to go to the yard. I hadn't been paying much attention, but I realized this had been going on for a while, and I had no idea why. Therefore, the next time it happened, I watched out the front room window to see what Marmalade was doing every day.‎ Marm went down the front stairs and out to the city sidewalk then just sat there. About three minutes later, she flopped（跳）down and rolled over so her belly（肚子）was showing．‎ This is unusual. She never does that unless she wants to be petted—but there is no one there. Wait-on the sidewalk just crossing a block down from our house was a group of about fifteen young adults from the nearby group home for young adults with Down syndrome（唐氏综合症）. They were out for a walk.‎ As they approached, I could hear, "There's the kitty, there's the kitty," coming from their mouths. When they were close enough to touch Marm, she lay quietly while each person took a turn petting her. This took quite a while, and obviously these teens were very comfortable petting her. When everyone had given Marm a petting, she turned over, stood up and gave herself a shake, then walked back up the sidewalk to the front door to be let in.‎ It had been a breathtaking experience to see. The next day, at the same time, I watched it happen again.‎ After a few more days of this, I wondered how long this had been lasting, so I went out and asked the adults. What I was told was both interesting and humbling. Our wonderful cat had been doing this every weekday for months, and these young adults thought it was the highlight of the walk to be able to have a chance to pet her. How had she come to understand that these young people would enjoy petting her and could trust them? How could she comfort people when they felt sad, and how would she lick away the tears until she had made them feel better?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）Marm's owner was puzzled because Marm always ________.‎ A. went out from the front door B. desired to the front yard C. rolled over to show her belly D. wanted out from the window ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）Marm flopped down and rolled over on the sidewalk to ________.‎ A. make the teens pet her B. play with other cats 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 C. wait for passers-by to feed her D. have a rest and enjoy the sunshine ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What does the writer think of Marm?‎ A. Funny and helpful. B. Loving and caring. C. Mysterious and weird. D. Vulnerable and puzzling. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What can we learn from Marm's story?‎ A. Cats can understand each other.‎ B. No one can be neglected.‎ C. People need give pets more petting.‎ D. Animals can believe and support human.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3. ‎ Microplastics are everywhere in our environment. It's hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in humans. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.‎ Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on human health.‎ Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PHD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consume food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation（吸入）using previously reported data o microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agency's reported respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.‎ The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. "This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact." Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate "the accumulative human exposure" to microplastics. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the food and drink that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans' caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.‎ For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But to the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so much plastic.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（1）What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?‎ A.The quantity. B.The quality. C.The shape. D.The size.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）How did Kieran Cox's team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?‎ A.By comparing the impacts. B.By studying papers. C.By analyzing the data. D.By conducting experiments. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）Which of the following is true according to the text?‎ A.The study is among the earliest to investigate human exposure to microplastics.‎ B.Drinking less plastic bottled water helps to take in fewer microplastics.‎ C.Cox's team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.‎ D.People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from food and drink.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What is the best title for the text?‎ A.Microplastics Coming From Various Sources B.The Potential Problems of Microplastics C.Microplastics Found Within Human Bodies D.The Impact of Microplastics on Human Health ‎ ‎ ‎4.     A drug used to treat severe bleeding could save thousands of lives for mothers giving birth． A global trial of the drug found it reduced the risk of bleeding deaths during childbirth by nearly one﹣third． The study involved 20, 000 women in 21 countries,  mainly in Africa and Asia． The trial was carried out by London's School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine． The drug is called d tranexamic acid （氨甲环酸）． It is low﹣cost and researchers said it does not cause serious side effects for mothers or babies．     The drug is used to treat mothers for severe bleeding during childbirth,  also known as postpartum hemorrhage （产后出血）．It is the leading cause of mother's death worldwide,  according to the World Health Organization．     Haleema Shakur is the project director of the trial． She says despite medical advances in many countries,  severe bleeding after childbirth remains a big problem in some parts of the world． "It's one of the biggest killers of mothers． In Africa and Asia． about 10 percent of women will end up with severe bleeding． " The drug works by stopping blood clots（血凝块） from breaking down after a mother gives birth． The treatment can prevent the need for doctors to perform surgery to find the source of bleeding．     Shakur said the best results were reported when the drug was given to women as soon as possible after childbirth,  "The earlier you give it﹣ so within the first three hours of giving birth﹣the better the effect is． "     The next step will be to get the drug where it is needed provide training for doctors and nurses on how to use it． During the trial,  women were given the drug in a hospital． But researchers are looking for easier ways to administer the drug so it can be more widely used in small clinics and rural areas． ‎ ‎（1）Tranexamic acid is a drug that________．‎ A.helps mothers before giving birth 第13页 共14页 ◎ 第14页 共14页 B.should be used for every mother C.ensures

C.To let more people know the drug．‎ D.To make medical staff know how to use the drug．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What can we learn from the text？________‎ A.African and Asian countries made great progress in medicine．‎ B.The more mothers use the drug， the better its effect is．‎ C.There is a long way to go before the drug can be used more widely．‎ D.Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of women's death．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What may be the best title for the text？________‎ A.How Can We Use Tranexamic Acid Well？‎ B.Care for the Health of Mothers C.Childbirth Drug Greatly Reduces Bleeding Deaths D.What's the Biggest Killer of Mothers？．‎ 第二节（共1小题：每小题10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．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ What does it mean to be intelligent？ It seems that everyone goes to college now， whether or not they find themselves interested in studying something long term． Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent， I struggle due to society's influence， which maintains that intelligence is quantifiable （可量化的） and that academic intelligence is one and the only． Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence？ Do they fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept？ Intelligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test， which are not effective． While designed to measure "intelligence，" all they measure are biological developments that can change as one grows． （1）_______ There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being， such as academic intelligence， emotional intelligence， and worldly intelligence． For instance， if a student realizes that they haven't studied appropriately for an exam， he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that， and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingly． （2）_______Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self﹣awareness， self﹣reflection， and self﹣improvement． （3）_______ We cannot function without forming relationships and communication． This proves that being aware of oneself and reflecting in order to further better communication skills is an evidence to intelligence． Where would you be if you were a terrible communicator， unaware， and unwilling to improve， but academically thriving？ Emotional intelligence is what surpasses （超越） those who are hard﹣headed． Those who maintain academic intelligence may still be a bit dull and unaware of themselves． （4）_______Even as a college student， there are certain skills such as teamwork and communication that require awareness and an open mind in order to further their growth． （5）_______ Academia is not only pictured and taught unfairly， or even close to what intelligence is if you were to quantify it． If you want to strive for mental growth， and maintain self﹣awareness through self﹣reflection， you can apply that to any intelligence category． A．All of life is communicatory． B．Specifically， this is emotional intelligence． C．Intelligence is determined by many factors． D．Stubbornness is a barrier towards communication． E． In fact， there are many with low IQ scores that are intelligent． F． Some connections exist between intelligence and communication． G． So there is academic intelligence， emotional intelligence， and worldly intelligence． ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     Three years ago,  I

director,  he helped me patiently and（9）_______my weakness． Later I realized that it was also （10）_______not to get the award because I could actually（11）_______ something,  and that I

failure can be regarded as a（n）（16）_______ because you can always learn something from it and do（17）_______ next time． This is supported by John Locke's theory that we are born with blank views;
