In a close-up (特写), one man is pulling the other with all his strength through the window of an SUV, a type of vehicle, which is stuck dangerously on a cliff (悬崖) 30 feet above a busy roadway.
Jason Warnock, then 29, is the man performing the life-saving action. He was driving in Lewiston, Idaho, in April 2015 when he came upon a fallen tree in the middle of the road. “I was like, ‘What happened’?” he told a news website. Warnock stretched out his neck to stare up the side of a cliff. At the very top, where the tree should have been, was an SUV swinging on the edge, held back from falling to the road by a delicate, heavily damaged chain-link fence. Looking inside the car, Warnock could see a panicked Matthew Sitko, 23, beating on the passenger-side window.
That’s when Warnock sprang into action. He crossed a nearby footbridge, and climbed up the cliff to get to the vehicle. When Warnock got to the car, he tried breaking the window with a tool he had on him, only to realize that his cracking was shaking the car and might cause it to slip down the hill. He stopped and turned to calming Sitko enough to get him to open the window. “Give me your hand,” Warnock said. “If this thing goes, I want to have a hold of you so I can at least get you out of there.” Before reaching for the lifeline, Sitko had one request: “Can I grab my phone?” Soon enough, Warnock had freed both man and his machine.
According to the Lewiston police chief, the accident was caused when Sitko, who suffered only minor injuries, lost control of his car. For his part, Warnock insisted he came to Sitko’s aid for one simple reason: “I just did what anyone would do.”
24. Where was Matthew Sitko’s SUV when spotted?
A. On a cliff. B. By a river.
C. On the road. D. Under a tree.
25. Why did Warnock stop breaking the window?
A. His strength ran up.
B. His tool stopped functioning.
C. He worried about his own safety.
D. He realized the possible consequence.
26. What is the cause of the accident?
A. The SUV was beyond repair. B. The SUV was out of control.
C. Sitko was severely injured. D. Sitko was sleepy and tired.
27. Which of the following can best describe Warnock?
A. Calm but stubborn. B. Daring but anxious.
C. Caring and decisive. D. Optimistic and strong.
C
It feels good to recycle. There’s a certain sense of accomplishment that comes from carefully sorting soda bottles, plastic bags and yogurt cups from the rest of the garbage. The more plastic you put in that blue bin, the more you’re keeping out of landfills and the oceans, right?
Wrong. No matter how meticulous you are in cleaning and separating your plastics, most end up in the trash anyway. Take flexible food packages. Those films contain several layers of different plastics. Because each plastic has to be recycled separately, those films are not recyclable. The polypropylene (聚丙烯) in yogurt cups and other items doesn’t usually get recycled either; recycling a hodgepodge of polypropylene produces a dark, smelly plastic that few manufacturers will use.
Only two kinds of plastic are commonly recycled in the United States: the kind in plastic soda bottles, polyethylene terephthalate, or PET; and the plastic found in milk containers — high-density polyethylene, or HDPE. Together, those plastics make up only about a quarter of the world’s plastic trash. And when those plastics are recycled, they aren’t good for much. Melting plastic down to recycle changes its consistency, so PET from bottles has to be mixed with brand-new plastic to make a sturdy final product. Recycling a mix of multicolored HDPE pieces creates a dark plastic good only for making products like park benches and waste bins, in which properties like color don’t matter much.
The difficulties of recycling plastic into anything manufacturers want to use is a big reason why the world is littered with so much plastic waste, says Eric Beckman, a chemical engineer at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2018 alone, the United States landfilled 27 million tons of plastic and recycled a mere 3 million, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Low recycling rates aren’t just a problem in the United States. Of the 6.3 billion tons of plastic that have been discarded around the world, only about 9 percent has gotten recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned, and almost 80 percent has piled up on land or in waterways.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To show a lifestyle. B. To describe a phenomenon.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To make a proposal.
29. What does the underlined word “meticulous” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Painful. B. Forgetful. C. Regretful. D. Mindful.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Manufacturers don’t want to use recycled plastic.
B. There is an urgent need to reduce plastic waste.
C. More plastic can be dealt with by burning.
D. U.S. is to blame for the plastic problem.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The causes of plastic pollution.
B. The characteristics of different plastics.
C. The ways that most plastics are recycled.
D. The reasons why many plastics are not recycled.
D
Human tears could carry a flood of useful information. With just a few drops, a new technique can spot eye disease and even signs of diabetes (糖尿病), scientists report July 20 in ACS Nano.
“We wanted to demonstrate the potential of using tears to detect disease,” says Fei Liu, a biomedical engineer at Wenzhou Medical University in China. It’s possible the droplets could open a window for scientists to look closely at the entire body, he says, and one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.
Tears contain tiny sacs (液囊) stuffed with cellular messages. If scientists could get these microscopic mailbags, they could offer new evidence on what’s happening inside the body. But collecting enough of these sacs is tricky. Unlike fluid (体液) from other body parts, just a small amount of liquid leaks from the eyes.
So Liu’s team invented a new way to obtain the sacs from tiny volumes of tears. First, the researchers collected tears from study participants. Then, the team added a solution containing the tears to a device and within minutes, the technique lets small molecules (分子) escape, leaving the sacs behind for analysis.
The results gave scientists an eyeful. Different types of dry-eye disease leave their own molecular fingerprints in people’s tears, the team found. What’s more, tears could potentially help doctors monitor how a patient’s diabetes is progressing.
Now, the scientists want to employ tears for evidence of other diseases as well as depression or emotional stress, says study coauthor Luke Lee, a bioengineer at Harvard Medical School. “This is just the beginning,” he says. “Tears express something that we haven’t really explored.”
32. What can we learn about human tears?
A. They contain many diseases. B. They are useful in detecting disease.
C. They are the sign of diabetes. D. They have a deep impact on the whole body.
33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. The process of getting sacs. B. The difficulty of collecting tears.
C. The method of using the device. D. The technique of analyzing tears.
34. What does Luke Lee think of the future of the research into tears?
A. Stressful. B. Profitable. C. Challenging. D. Promising.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Solution to Eye Disease.
B. A Novel Treatment for Diabetes.
C. A New Technology Uses Human Teardrops to Spot Disease.
D. A Biomedical Engineer Finds the Potential Use of Human Tears.

In this day and age, it is difficult to imagine our lives without e-mails. But how often do we consider the environmental impact of these messages? 36 It’s easy to ignore the invisible energy involved in running the network — particularly when it comes to sending and storing data.
Every single email is stored on a server (服务器). 37 These computers consume massive amounts of energy, 24 hours a day, and require countless water or air conditioning systems, for cooling. The more messages we send, receive and store, the more servers are needed. 38 .
According to carbon footprint specialist, every spam email (垃圾邮件) releases an estimated 0.3 grams of CO2 into the atmosphere. A standard email, one without an attachment has a carbon footprint of 4 grams of CO2. 39 . These carbon emissions come from the energy used to operate the computers and access the internet.
Recent calculations indicate if every email user sent one less unnecessary email each day, it would reduce CO2 emissions by 16,433 tonnes each year. That is the same as 81,152 flights between London and Madrid!
40 Avoid sending unnecessary mails, reduce the amount of spam you receive and regularly clean out your inbox.
A. The real impact may actually be even higher.
B. The server is designed to store huge amounts of data.
C. That means more energy consumed, and more carbon emissions.
D. An email with a lot text and attachment can be responsible for up to 50 grams.
E. It’s definitely worthwhile taking a few minutes to do an eco-friendly digital clean-up.
F. We assume that using email requires only the electricity used to power our computers.
G. Quantities of emails require huge server farms — millions of computers storing information.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Christmas was drawing near, and came along with it our favorite moment — the Treasure Hunt.
In the past, my brother Brandon and I had opened all of the packages under the tree. All that was left was an envelope. We knew that envelopes usually contained cards, and if we were lucky, they also contained gift cards or cash.
However, this Christmas my dad looked almost like he’d forgotten about the envelope as he casually handed it to me. I opened it and discovered inside a 3x5 index card (索引卡) with a border of shining surrounding a poem. Of course, I don’t remember the poem by heart, but its rhyming message instructed us to go downstairs. We were excited. Maybe we were getting a pet we had wanted.
What we found downstairs was another envelope, containing another index card with a border of shining surrounding a poem. This poem told us to go to Dad’s car. Was the pet already in the car, ready to go?
No! There was just another envelope containing another shining index card. This one told us to go to Mom’s office downtown. Neither of us was old enough to drive. This meant we had to beg our parents to hurry up and get dressed and finish drinking their coffee and get going.
Eventually, we made it to Mom’s office where we found — you guessed it — a poem telling us to go somewhere else. This time it was to the TV station where Dad worked. By now, our curiosity was stretched to the limits of our imaginations.
We soon found out, however, that such a desk at the studio is a lovely place to keep a 3x5 index card with a poem, which confused us more than any other. It told us to go to an unfamiliar address.
The car stopped in front of the unknown house. It felt like the end of the hunt.
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。
My dad handed us the final envelope, and the final poem told us to knock on the door.
Dad was standing behind us by then, and “Merry Christmas,” he said, “The cat’s yours.”

Success
Success has long been a heated topic. People say success is about achieving wealth or fame, but for me it’s about accomplishing what brings us happiness and fulfillment.
I recently set a goal for myself to run a 10-kilometer race. The mental and physical toughness required to complete a long-distance run is something that cannot be easily earned. However, through consistent training and discipline, I was able to cross the finish line with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Such is how success can be achieved through hard work and determination.
Let’s work hard to put our best foot forward in everything we do, and success will surely follow.

My dad handed us the final envelope, and the final poem told us to knock on the door. I could hardly contain my excitement as we stood in front of the unfamiliar house, wondering what awaited us inside. Brandon knocked on the door, and we waited in anticipation for someone to answer. After what seemed like ages, the door slowly opened. A stranger, later known as the keeper, revealed a small cute ten-week-old cat staring up at us with big blue eyes. We both held the breath in surprise and looked up at our dad, who was smiling playfully.
Dad was standing behind us by then, and “Merry Christmas,” he said, “The cat’s yours.” We couldn’t believe it. We had been begging our parents for a pet for years, but they had always said no. Now, we had our very own cat, thanks to the Treasure Hunt. We lifted the cat up and hugged him close, feeling grateful and overjoyed. That Treasure Hunt was the best one yet, and it had given us the greatest gift of all. That was the day that cat became part of our family. It was a gift far beyond anything I could have imagined.

A classic homemade Thanksgiving decoration is a hand turkey. They are very simple to make. First, shape your hand on a white piece of paper. Second, color the four fingers so that they look like feathers. Remember to use lots of colors. Third, make an eye on the thumb and color the body brown. Then, cut out your turkey. Use orange colored paper to make legs and a bird’s mouth. Glue the legs onto the bottom of your hand turkey. Last, glue the bird’s mouth onto the thumb to complete your turkey’s face. You’re done!
When you make homemade decorations, be creative. You can reuse the most beautiful ones each year. This is not only fun but also a great activity to do with friends and family.

In a close-up (特写), one man is pulling the other with all his strength through the window of an SUV, a type of vehicle, which is stuck dangerously on a cliff (悬崖) 30 feet above a busy roadway.
Jason Warnock, then 29, is the man performing the life-saving action. He was driving in Lewiston, Idaho, in April 2015 when he came upon a fallen tree in the middle of the road. “I was like, ‘What happened’?” he told a news website. Warnock stretched out his neck to stare up the side of a cliff. At the very top, where the tree should have been, was an SUV swinging on the edge, held back from falling to the road by a delicate, heavily damaged chain-link fence. Looking inside the car, Warnock could see a panicked Matthew Sitko, 23, beating on the passenger-side window.
That’s when Warnock sprang into action. He crossed a nearby footbridge, and climbed up the cliff to get to the vehicle. When Warnock got to the car, he tried breaking the window with a tool he had on him, only to realize that his cracking was shaking the car and might cause it to slip down the hill. He stopped and turned to calming Sitko enough to get him to open the window. “Give me your hand,” Warnock said. “If this thing goes, I want to have a hold of you so I can at least get you out of there.” Before reaching for the lifeline, Sitko had one request: “Can I grab my phone?” Soon enough, Warnock had freed both man and his machine.
According to the Lewiston police chief, the accident was caused when Sitko, who suffered only minor injuries, lost control of his car. For his part, Warnock insisted he came to Sitko’s aid for one simple reason: “I just did what anyone would do.”
24. Where was Matthew Sitko’s SUV when spotted?
A. On a cliff. B. By a river.
C. On the road. D. Under a tree.
25. Why did Warnock stop breaking the window?
A. His strength ran up.
B. His tool stopped functioning.
C. He worried about his own safety.
D. He realized the possible consequence.
26. What is the cause of the accident?
A. The SUV was beyond repair. B. The SUV was out of control.
C. Sitko was severely injured. D. Sitko was sleepy and tired.
27. Which of the following can best describe Warnock?
A. Calm but stubborn. B. Daring but anxious.
C. Caring and decisive. D. Optimistic and strong.
C
It feels good to recycle. There’s a certain sense of accomplishment that comes from carefully sorting soda bottles, plastic bags and yogurt cups from the rest of the garbage. The more plastic you put in that blue bin, the more you’re keeping out of landfills and the oceans, right?
Wrong. No matter how meticulous you are in cleaning and separating your plastics, most end up in the trash anyway. Take flexible food packages. Those films contain several layers of different plastics. Because each plastic has to be recycled separately, those films are not recyclable. The polypropylene (聚丙烯) in yogurt cups and other items doesn’t usually get recycled either; recycling a hodgepodge of polypropylene produces a dark, smelly plastic that few manufacturers will use.
Only two kinds of plastic are commonly recycled in the United States: the kind in plastic soda bottles, polyethylene terephthalate, or PET; and the plastic found in milk containers — high-density polyethylene, or HDPE. Together, those plastics make up only about a quarter of the world’s plastic trash. And when those plastics are recycled, they aren’t good for much. Melting plastic down to recycle changes its consistency, so PET from bottles has to be mixed with brand-new plastic to make a sturdy final product. Recycling a mix of multicolored HDPE pieces creates a dark plastic good only for making products like park benches and waste bins, in which properties like color don’t matter much.
The difficulties of recycling plastic into anything manufacturers want to use is a big reason why the world is littered with so much plastic waste, says Eric Beckman, a chemical engineer at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2018 alone, the United States landfilled 27 million tons of plastic and recycled a mere 3 million, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Low recycling rates aren’t just a problem in the United States. Of the 6.3 billion tons of plastic that have been discarded around the world, only about 9 percent has gotten recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned, and almost 80 percent has piled up on land or in waterways.
28. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To show a lifestyle. B. To describe a phenomenon.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To make a proposal.
29. What does the underlined word “meticulous” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Painful. B. Forgetful. C. Regretful. D. Mindful.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Manufacturers don’t want to use recycled plastic.
B. There is an urgent need to reduce plastic waste.
C. More plastic can be dealt with by burning.
D. U.S. is to blame for the plastic problem.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The causes of plastic pollution.
B. The characteristics of different plastics.
C. The ways that most plastics are recycled.
D. The reasons why many plastics are not recycled.
D
Human tears could carry a flood of useful information. With just a few drops, a new technique can spot eye disease and even signs of diabetes (糖尿病), scientists report July 20 in ACS Nano.
“We wanted to demonstrate the potential of using tears to detect disease,” says Fei Liu, a biomedical engineer at Wenzhou Medical University in China. It’s possible the droplets could open a window for scientists to look closely at the entire body, he says, and one day even let people quickly test their tears at home.
Tears contain tiny sacs (液囊) stuffed with cellular messages. If scientists could get these microscopic mailbags, they could offer new evidence on what’s happening inside the body. But collecting enough of these sacs is tricky. Unlike fluid (体液) from other body parts, just a small amount of liquid leaks from the eyes.
So Liu’s team invented a new way to obtain the sacs from tiny volumes of tears. First, the researchers collected tears from study participants. Then, the team added a solution containing the tears to a device and within minutes, the technique lets small molecules (分子) escape, leaving the sacs behind for analysis.
The results gave scientists an eyeful. Different types of dry-eye disease leave their own molecular fingerprints in people’s tears, the team found. What’s more, tears could potentially help doctors monitor how a patient’s diabetes is progressing.
Now, the scientists want to employ tears for evidence of other diseases as well as depression or emotional stress, says study coauthor Luke Lee, a bioengineer at Harvard Medical School. “This is just the beginning,” he says. “Tears express something that we haven’t really explored.”
32. What can we learn about human tears?
A. They contain many diseases. B. They are useful in detecting disease.
C. They are the sign of diabetes. D. They have a deep impact on the whole body.
33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. The process of getting sacs. B. The difficulty of collecting tears.
C. The method of using the device. D. The technique of analyzing tears.
34. What does Luke Lee think of the future of the research into tears?
A. Stressful. B. Profitable. C. Challenging. D. Promising.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Solution to Eye Disease.
B. A Novel Treatment for Diabetes.
C. A New Technology Uses Human Teardrops to Spot Disease.
D. A Biomedical Engineer Finds the Potential Use of Human Tears.

In this day and age, it is difficult to imagine our lives without e-mails. But how often do we consider the environmental impact of these messages? 36 It’s easy to ignore the invisible energy involved in running the network — particularly when it comes to sending and storing data.
Every single email is stored on a server (服务器). 37 These computers consume massive amounts of energy, 24 hours a day, and require countless water or air conditioning systems, for cooling. The more messages we send, receive and store, the more servers are needed. 38 .
According to carbon footprint specialist, every spam email (垃圾邮件) releases an estimated 0.3 grams of CO2 into the atmosphere. A standard email, one without an attachment has a carbon footprint of 4 grams of CO2. 39 . These carbon emissions come from the energy used to operate the computers and access the internet.
Recent calculations indicate if every email user sent one less unnecessary email each day, it would reduce CO2 emissions by 16,433 tonnes each year. That is the same as 81,152 flights between London and Madrid!
40 Avoid sending unnecessary mails, reduce the amount of spam you receive and regularly clean out your inbox.
A. The real impact may actually be even higher.
B. The server is designed to store huge amounts of data.
C. That means more energy consumed, and more carbon emissions.
D. An email with a lot text and attachment can be responsible for up to 50 grams.
E. It’s definitely worthwhile taking a few minutes to do an eco-friendly digital clean-up.
F. We assume that using email requires only the electricity used to power our computers.
G. Quantities of emails require huge server farms — millions of computers storing information.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Christmas was drawing near, and came along with it our favorite moment — the Treasure Hunt.
In the past, my brother Brandon and I had opened all of the packages under the tree. All that was left was an envelope. We knew that envelopes usually contained cards, and if we were lucky, they also contained gift cards or cash.
However, this Christmas my dad looked almost like he’d forgotten about the envelope as he casually handed it to me. I opened it and discovered inside a 3x5 index card (索引卡) with a border of shining surrounding a poem. Of course, I don’t remember the poem by heart, but its rhyming message instructed us to go downstairs. We were excited. Maybe we were getting a pet we had wanted.
What we found downstairs was another envelope, containing another index card with a border of shining surrounding a poem. This poem told us to go to Dad’s car. Was the pet already in the car, ready to go?
No! There was just another envelope containing another shining index card. This one told us to go to Mom’s office downtown. Neither of us was old enough to drive. This meant we had to beg our parents to hurry up and get dressed and finish drinking their coffee and get going.
Eventually, we made it to Mom’s office where we found — you guessed it — a poem telling us to go somewhere else. This time it was to the TV station where Dad worked. By now, our curiosity was stretched to the limits of our imaginations.
We soon found out, however, that such a desk at the studio is a lovely place to keep a 3x5 index card with a poem, which confused us more than any other. It told us to go to an unfamiliar address.
The car stopped in front of the unknown house. It felt like the end of the hunt.

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。
My dad handed us the final envelope, and the final poem told us to knock on the door.
Dad was standing behind us by then, and “Merry Christmas,” he said, “The cat’s yours.”

Success
Success has long been a heated topic. People say success is about achieving wealth or fame, but for me it’s about accomplishing what brings us happiness and fulfillment.
I recently set a goal for myself to run a 10-kilometer race. The mental and physical toughness required to complete a long-distance run is something that cannot be easily earned. However, through consistent training and discipline, I was able to cross the finish line with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Such is how success can be achieved through hard work and determination.
Let’s work hard to put our best foot forward in everything we do, and success will surely follow.

My dad handed us the final envelope, and the final poem told us to knock on the door. I could hardly contain my excitement as we stood in front of the unfamiliar house, wondering what awaited us inside. Brandon knocked on the door, and we waited in anticipation for someone to answer. After what seemed like ages, the door slowly opened. A stranger, later known as the keeper, revealed a small cute ten-week-old cat staring up at us with big blue eyes. We both held the breath in surprise and looked up at our dad, who was smiling playfully.
Dad was standing behind us by then, and “Merry Christmas,” he said, “The cat’s yours.” We couldn’t believe it. We had been begging our parents for a pet for years, but they had always said no. Now, we had our very own cat, thanks to the Treasure Hunt. We lifted the cat up and hugged him close, feeling grateful and overjoyed. That Treasure Hunt was the best one yet, and it had given us the greatest gift of all. That was the day that cat became part of our family. It was a gift far beyond anything I could have imagined.

Homemade Thanksgiving decorations are easy and fun to make. All you need is some colored paper, crayons, and your imagination. You should keep a few things in mind when you select materials for your decorations. Since Thanksgiving is an autumn holiday, you can use colors like gold, red, orange, and dark green. Also, autumn is the time for harvesting. So, you can make use of pumpkins, corn, and other vegetables as decorations. Most importantly, remember the turkey! Turkey’s pictures, statues, and feathers are a must.
A classic homemade Thanksgiving decoration is a hand turkey. They are very simple to make. First, shape your hand on a white piece of paper. Second, color the four fingers so that they look like feathers. Remember to use lots of colors. Third, make an eye on the thumb and color the body brown. Then, cut out your turkey. Use orange colored paper to make legs and a bird’s mouth. Glue the legs onto the bottom of your hand turkey. Last, glue the bird’s mouth onto the thumb to complete your turkey’s face. You’re done!
When you make homemade decorations, be creative. You can reuse the most beautiful ones each year. This is not only fun but also a great activity to do with friends and family.
