An owl(猫头鹰) named Flaco escaped New York’s Central Park Zoo last week after his cage was broken. This set off a bird -hunt of police officers and park rangers( 护林员). Zoo officials worried that Flaco, who had been kept in his zoo cage for 13 years, may have lost the survival abilities he needed in the wild. They placed some of his favorite treats in the open air to attempt to trap him.
Flaco was not fooled. Instead, he was sighted flying over 5th Avenue, and Central Park’s skating rink. A number of New Yorkers stamped into Central Park to try to catch a glimpse of Flaco, taking photos with excitement.
But this week, zoo officials announced they accepted that Flaco remained in Central Park because he had been seen bringing up bones and fur from the park’s abundant community of rats. “He has been very successful at hunting and consuming the abundant rats in the park.” zoo officials told the New York Post. “And that’s amazing. He’s hunting on his own. He’s flying better. Flaco really seems to be enjoying himself out there.”
There is a caution attached to this story of an owl who is making it on his own in the city that never sleeps. Owls are nocturnal. They go around searching for food at night. They sleep during the day, or try to, like lots of people who work the overnight shift. Yet some New Yorkers who don’t know proper bird-watching behavior reportedly see Flaco sleep in a tree during the day, and begin to shout at him. It interrupts his sleep. Flaco can’t try to say “shh, shh” with the traditional New York reply. After all, a bird can’t give someone the bird.
4．Why were zoo officials concerned about Flaco’s ability to survive?
A．Because his favourite food was too little.
B．Because he might be attacked by police.
C．Because his cage was severely damaged.
D．Because he was kept in his cage for long.
5．What can we infer about Flaco from the third paragraph?
A．He has adapted to the wild. B．He has found his previous home.
C．He still faces great challenges. D．He dislikes the rats in the park.
6．What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Scary-looking. B．Shy and quiet.
C．Active at night. D．Badly-behaved.
7．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the interruption to Flaco’s sleep?
A．Cautious. B．Favorable. C．Ambiguous. D．Disapproving.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology didn’t just want to build a car that wouldn’t pollute the air; they wanted to create one that could actually clean it up.
The college team has just exhibited a battery-powered car that absorbs CO2. Their car, called the Zem, is equipped with a special filter (过滤器) that cleans up the CO2 produced by other cars on the road.
The Zem was born out of a challenge to build a completely carbon-neutral vehicle. Its body panels (金属板) were 3D printed to reduce waste and minimize the production of CO2. Recycled plastics were also used throughout the outside and inside. The car’s powertrain, which consists of small battery packs and a 22-kWh motor, also makes use of regenerative braking to increase efficiency.
The real difference maker, though, is the vehicle’s special CO2 filter. The Zem purifies (净化) the air through the special filter while driving, capturing the CO2 and storing it. It is able to absorb two kg of CO2 for 20,000 miles a year, meaning ten cars could store as much carbon dioxide as an average tree — a significant amount when considering the world’s billion cars are currently one of its leading sources of emissions.
Even if the technology isn’t adopted, the team hope that their car can inspire automakers to start making cleaner vehicles. “We want to encourage the industry by showing what is already possible,” the leader of the team said. “If 35 students can design, develop and build an almost carbon-neutral car in a year, then there are also opportunities and possibilities for the industry.”
The Zem is the second zero-emission vehicle we’ve seen come out of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Last year, another team of students created the Stella Vita, a solar-powered vehicle that could travel up to 450 miles a day. We can’t wait to see what the school’s students come up with next.
8．Why can the Zem absorb CO2?
A．It is battery-powered. B．It has a special filter.
C．It is created by using 3D pinting. D．It has reusable body panels.
9．What do we know about the building of the Zem?
A．It is time-consuming. B．It is financially secure.
C．It is physically demanding. D．It is environmentally-friendly.
10．What can be inferred about the Zem from the fourth paragraph?
A．It can capture the CO2 and dispose it.
B．It is able to absorb CO2 as much as a tree.
C．It has a huge potential to reduce pollution.
D．It can run 20,000 miles on a single charge.
11．What does the author expect the students to do?
A．Invest in research. B．Inspire confidence.
C．Innovate further. D．Introduce technology.
When my Aunt Nicki visits me in London, we avoid musical theater and the cinema. Aunt Nicki is hard of hearing. Although there are many enhanced listening devices available to help her, such as a closed captioning (配字幕的) screen that sits in a cup holder, she tells me they don’t work well enough.
When I recently tried on the new “smart caption glasses” at the Royal National Theatre, I had her on my mind. The theater is testing a pilot program for the technology and plans to make the glasses available for all of its performances next year. When you look through them, closed captions scroll (滚动) across the bottom. A handheld keypad is attached to the glasses through cable (电缆线) to allow each user to customize the color, size and position of the closed captions. Changing the positioning of the text is key for user comfort.
The biggest challenge is finding the sweet spot of balancing the captions in the foreground with the theater performance in the background. The lines of the play are fed into speech software, which follows the performance and adjusts the captions accordingly. “If a performer jumps a few lines, the system will react,” said Jonathan Suffolk, the technical director for the Royal National Theatre. “It will take a second or two but the system will react and it will recognize where it is.”
Richard France — who works for a group called Deafinitely Theatre, which creates performances for both the deaf and hearing communities — has worked with many different technologies but calls the smart glasses a potential game changer. “This new technology allows the deaf and hard of hearing to have complete access,” he said. “It’s really amazing how far we’ve advanced and how it has positively affected the quality of life for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.”
So perhaps the next time Aunt Nicki comes to London, we’ll be able to catch a show together.
12．Why does the author mention Aunt Nicki in paragraph 1?
A．To present his opinion. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To provide an example. D．To give the background.
13．How do users control the closed captions on smart glasses?
A．By using a handheld keypad. B．By turning on the hidden text.
C．By scrolling across the bottom. D．By sending speech recognition.
14．What can we infer about the speech system according to Jonathan Suffolk?
A．It fails to find the balance point. B．It sometimes misses a few lines.
C．It responds to performers quickly. D．It refuses to change captions on the screen.
15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Smart Glasses: A Game Changer B．Smart Glasses: A Symbol of Hope
C．Smart Glasses: A Solution to Blindness D．Smart Glasses: A Revolution to Theatres
二、七选五
When you wake up every morning, what will you do first to start your day? 16 . Here are some things productivity experts do to get weekday mornings off to a good start.
I drink a glass of cold water.
Every morning, I start my day with a big glass of ice water. 17 , rehydrating(补充水分) with ice water helps me think more clearly. To make this morning step a no-brainer, I fill up a cup with ice water and place it on my nightstand before bed. When I wake up, it’s right there and ready for me without having to make my way to the kitchen.
I do a breathing exercise to get centered.
I enjoy staying up late at night, so the early morning club is not for me. These three simple habits have been helpful for me: daily affirmation (坚定信念)，breathing exercise and gratitude journaling. Once awake, I silently say a positive affirmation. Usually, it is “I am calm. Breathe.” 18 . It takes 10 minutes, but if I do not have time, I would just do a one - minute breathing exercise. Finally, my gratitude journal helps me set the intention for the day.
19 .
We live in a world where work never ends, so it’s up to us to set our own finish lines to start a day and celebrate when we cross it. Our brains find this much more rewarding, and less tend to be attracted by other distractions (分心).
I think deeply, then review my schedule.
I think deeply and keep a journal every morning before I begin work. This helps me relax and prepare for the day to come. I then review my schedule for the day and week, making note of work sessions. 20 .
A．I set my own goal for the day
B．I decide how I want my day to end
C．Lastly, I create a short list of my daily to-dos
D．Because you lack water after sleeping all night
E．Although it’s appealing to head straight for the coffee
F．Then a breathing exercise follows to deepen the positive affirmation
G．Actually small steps can be done to make a big difference in your work
三、完形填空
Last year, preparing to move to Italy, I sorted through everything in our New York apartment. Clothes, shoes, toys, china, handbags-you name it. I had to 21 what to give away, what to throw out, and what to 22 and ship overseas.
It forced me to review and remember my 23 . Some surprises awaited me. Dealing with all the material goods 24 over a lifetime, I rediscovered just how much I value 25 .
I found the letter President Ronald Reagan sent to my father, 26 him for his service to the deaf community; some 27 for 1960s Broadway hits my grandpa had taken me to see. I had rejection 28 from magazine editors, and a typed letter from my lawyer uncle advising me to 29 fooling around and get a real job. I 30 Father’s Day cards and a poem to my wife on our 40th anniversary.
It proved to me that paper 31 serves a purpose, even with life going digital and all but paperless. Going through these documents was an 32 to better know myself, to recognize who I was and how I’d changed.
My love of paper gave me concrete 33 of life experiences: managing a marriage, raising children, and winning struggles. It’s a life 34 to the fullest.
I did it mostly for me. But someday my children may come across these keepsakes (纪念品). Perhaps they’ll be drawn to 35 the history only our family can claim.

四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In 2017, a Chinese antique bowl fetched $ 38 million at auction (拍卖)—a new record for Chinese porcelain (瓷器). Though it was described as “a highly important and 36 (extreme) rare” piece of art, it was a shallow bowl that was used in ancient China 37 (clean) calligraphy and paint brushes. Why is Chinese porcelain so expensive? The answer lies 38 the European obsession (痴迷) with Chinese porcelain.
Lars Tharp, a Chinese porcelain specialist, set out to explore why Chinese porcelain was so 39 (value). He traveled to the mountainside in which almost every single Chinese export vase, plate and cup began life in the 18th century—a mountain known as Mount Gaolin, from 40 name we get the word kaolin, or china clay. He saw how the china clay 41 (combine) with another substance, mica, that would turn it into porcelain.
42 (carry) his own newly-acquired vase, Lars uncovered some secrets of China’s porcelain capital, Jingdezhen. He saw how 43 trade between China and Europe not only changed our idea of what was beautiful but also affected the whole tradition of Chinese aesthetics too.
The porcelain fever has driven high 44 (consume) in the past ten years. Today China’s rising millionaire class are buying back the export china once shipped to Europe. The bowl 45 (sell) at auction shows that the appeal of Chinese porcelain is as strong as ever.

六、读后续写
47．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。
My mother’s gift
A dandelion (蒲公英) in my dictionary always reminds me of my lunchtimes with my mother.
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly (费力地) practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with a little bit of gold.
I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the dandelions. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, suddenly pulling a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.”
Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened.
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is as important as the part of a princess.”
Over the next few weeks, with her constant encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear.
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。
Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the play, I took home the flower I had placed in the pocket.

47．范文
Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous. At first I was at a loss what to do, but it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. I calmed down as soon as possible. I knew that the narrator part was of vital significance. I performed so well that the audience stood up and burst into thunderous applause.
After the play, I took home the flower I had placed in the pocket. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though decades have passed, I constantly recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful, because smiles on Mother’s face and her kind act foster a man like me now! And all those inspiring words like “Cease to struggle and you cease to live.” have been echoing in my mind as fresh as a daisy.

An owl(猫头鹰) named Flaco escaped New York’s Central Park Zoo last week after his cage was broken. This set off a bird -hunt of police officers and park rangers( 护林员). Zoo officials worried that Flaco, who had been kept in his zoo cage for 13 years, may have lost the survival abilities he needed in the wild. They placed some of his favorite treats in the open air to attempt to trap him.
Flaco was not fooled. Instead, he was sighted flying over 5th Avenue, and Central Park’s skating rink. A number of New Yorkers stamped into Central Park to try to catch a glimpse of Flaco, taking photos with excitement.
But this week, zoo officials announced they accepted that Flaco remained in Central Park because he had been seen bringing up bones and fur from the park’s abundant community of rats. “He has been very successful at hunting and consuming the abundant rats in the park.” zoo officials told the New York Post. “And that’s amazing. He’s hunting on his own. He’s flying better. Flaco really seems to be enjoying himself out there.”
There is a caution attached to this story of an owl who is making it on his own in the city that never sleeps. Owls are nocturnal. They go around searching for food at night. They sleep during the day, or try to, like lots of people who work the overnight shift. Yet some New Yorkers who don’t know proper bird-watching behavior reportedly see Flaco sleep in a tree during the day, and begin to shout at him. It interrupts his sleep. Flaco can’t try to say “shh, shh” with the traditional New York reply. After all, a bird can’t give someone the bird.
4．Why were zoo officials concerned about Flaco’s ability to survive?
A．Because his favourite food was too little.
B．Because he might be attacked by police.
C．Because his cage was severely damaged.
D．Because he was kept in his cage for long.
5．What can we infer about Flaco from the third paragraph?
A．He has adapted to the wild. B．He has found his previous home.
C．He still faces great challenges. D．He dislikes the rats in the park.
6．What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Scary-looking. B．Shy and quiet.
C．Active at night. D．Badly-behaved.
7．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the interruption to Flaco’s sleep?
A．Cautious. B．Favorable. C．Ambiguous. D．Disapproving.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology didn’t just want to build a car that wouldn’t pollute the air; they wanted to create one that could actually clean it up.
The college team has just exhibited a battery-powered car that absorbs CO2. Their car, called the Zem, is equipped with a special filter (过滤器) that cleans up the CO2 produced by other cars on the road.
The Zem was born out of a challenge to build a completely carbon-neutral vehicle. Its body panels (金属板) were 3D printed to reduce waste and minimize the production of CO2. Recycled plastics were also used throughout the outside and inside. The car’s powertrain, which consists of small battery packs and a 22-kWh motor, also makes use of regenerative braking to increase efficiency.
The real difference maker, though, is the vehicle’s special CO2 filter. The Zem purifies (净化) the air through the special filter while driving, capturing the CO2 and storing it. It is able to absorb two kg of CO2 for 20,000 miles a year, meaning ten cars could store as much carbon dioxide as an average tree — a significant amount when considering the world’s billion cars are currently one of its leading sources of emissions.
Even if the technology isn’t adopted, the team hope that their car can inspire automakers to start making cleaner vehicles. “We want to encourage the industry by showing what is already possible,” the leader of the team said. “If 35 students can design, develop and build an almost carbon-neutral car in a year, then there are also opportunities and possibilities for the industry.”
The Zem is the second zero-emission vehicle we’ve seen come out of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Last year, another team of students created the Stella Vita, a solar-powered vehicle that could travel up to 450 miles a day. We can’t wait to see what the school’s students come up with next.
8．Why can the Zem absorb CO2?
A．It is battery-powered. B．It has a special filter.
C．It is created by using 3D pinting. D．It has reusable body panels.
9．What do we know about the building of the Zem?
A．It is time-consuming. B．It is financially secure.
C．It is physically demanding. D．It is environmentally-friendly.
10．What can be inferred about the Zem from the fourth paragraph?
A．It can capture the CO2 and dispose it.
B．It is able to absorb CO2 as much as a tree.
C．It has a huge potential to reduce pollution.
D．It can run 20,000 miles on a single charge.
11．What does the author expect the students to do?
A．Invest in research. B．Inspire confidence.
C．Innovate further. D．Introduce technology.
When my Aunt Nicki visits me in London, we avoid musical theater and the cinema. Aunt Nicki is hard of hearing. Although there are many enhanced listening devices available to help her, such as a closed captioning (配字幕的) screen that sits in a cup holder, she tells me they don’t work well enough.
When I recently tried on the new “smart caption glasses” at the Royal National Theatre, I had her on my mind. The theater is testing a pilot program for the technology and plans to make the glasses available for all of its performances next year. When you look through them, closed captions scroll (滚动) across the bottom. A handheld keypad is attached to the glasses through cable (电缆线) to allow each user to customize the color, size and position of the closed captions. Changing the positioning of the text is key for user comfort.
The biggest challenge is finding the sweet spot of balancing the captions in the foreground with the theater performance in the background. The lines of the play are fed into speech software, which follows the performance and adjusts the captions accordingly. “If a performer jumps a few lines, the system will react,” said Jonathan Suffolk, the technical director for the Royal National Theatre. “It will take a second or two but the system will react and it will recognize where it is.”
Richard France — who works for a group called Deafinitely Theatre, which creates performances for both the deaf and hearing communities — has worked with many different technologies but calls the smart glasses a potential game changer. “This new technology allows the deaf and hard of hearing to have complete access,” he said. “It’s really amazing how far we’ve advanced and how it has positively affected the quality of life for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.”
So perhaps the next time Aunt Nicki comes to London, we’ll be able to catch a show together.
12．Why does the author mention Aunt Nicki in paragraph 1?
A．To present his opinion. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To provide an example. D．To give the background.
13．How do users control the closed captions on smart glasses?
A．By using a handheld keypad. B．By turning on the hidden text.
C．By scrolling across the bottom. D．By sending speech recognition.
14．What can we infer about the speech system according to Jonathan Suffolk?
A．It fails to find the balance point. B．It sometimes misses a few lines.
C．It responds to performers quickly. D．It refuses to change captions on the screen.
15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Smart Glasses: A Game Changer B．Smart Glasses: A Symbol of Hope
C．Smart Glasses: A Solution to Blindness D．Smart Glasses: A Revolution to Theatres
二、七选五
When you wake up every morning, what will you do first to start your day? 16 . Here are some things productivity experts do to get weekday mornings off to a good start.
I drink a glass of cold water.
Every morning, I start my day with a big glass of ice water. 17 , rehydrating(补充水分) with ice water helps me think more clearly. To make this morning step a no-brainer, I fill up a cup with ice water and place it on my nightstand before bed. When I wake up, it’s right there and ready for me without having to make my way to the kitchen.
I do a breathing exercise to get centered.
I enjoy staying up late at night, so the early morning club is not for me. These three simple habits have been helpful for me: daily affirmation (坚定信念)，breathing exercise and gratitude journaling. Once awake, I silently say a positive affirmation. Usually, it is “I am calm. Breathe.” 18 . It takes 10 minutes, but if I do not have time, I would just do a one - minute breathing exercise. Finally, my gratitude journal helps me set the intention for the day.
19 .
We live in a world where work never ends, so it’s up to us to set our own finish lines to start a day and celebrate when we cross it. Our brains find this much more rewarding, and less tend to be attracted by other distractions (分心).
I think deeply, then review my schedule.
I think deeply and keep a journal every morning before I begin work. This helps me relax and prepare for the day to come. I then review my schedule for the day and week, making note of work sessions. 20 .
A．I set my own goal for the day
B．I decide how I want my day to end
C．Lastly, I create a short list of my daily to-dos
D．Because you lack water after sleeping all night

G．Actually small steps can be done to make a big difference in your work

Last year, preparing to move to Italy, I sorted through everything in our New York apartment. Clothes, shoes, toys, china, handbags-you name it. I had to 21 what to give away, what to throw out, and what to 22 and ship overseas.
It forced me to review and remember my 23 . Some surprises awaited me. Dealing with all the material goods 24 over a lifetime, I rediscovered just how much I value 25 .
I found the letter President Ronald Reagan sent to my father, 26 him for his service to the deaf community; some 27 for 1960s Broadway hits my grandpa had taken me to see. I had rejection 28 from magazine editors, and a typed letter from my lawyer uncle advising me to 29 fooling around and get a real job. I 30 Father’s Day cards and a poem to my wife on our 40th anniversary.
It proved to me that paper 31 serves a purpose, even with life going digital and all but paperless. Going through these documents was an 32 to better know myself, to recognize who I was and how I’d changed.
My love of paper gave me concrete 33 of life experiences: managing a marriage, raising children, and winning struggles. It’s a life 34 to the fullest.
I did it mostly for me. But someday my children may come across these keepsakes (纪念品). Perhaps they’ll be drawn to 35 the history only our family can claim.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In 2017, a Chinese antique bowl fetched $ 38 million at auction (拍卖)—a new record for Chinese porcelain (瓷器). Though it was described as “a highly important and 36 (extreme) rare” piece of art, it was a shallow bowl that was used in ancient China 37 (clean) calligraphy and paint brushes. Why is Chinese porcelain so expensive? The answer lies 38 the European obsession (痴迷) with Chinese porcelain.
Lars Tharp, a Chinese porcelain specialist, set out to explore why Chinese porcelain was so 39 (value). He traveled to the mountainside in which almost every single Chinese export vase, plate and cup began life in the 18th century—a mountain known as Mount Gaolin, from 40 name we get the word kaolin, or china clay. He saw how the china clay 41 (combine) with another substance, mica, that would turn it into porcelain.
42 (carry) his own newly-acquired vase, Lars uncovered some secrets of China’s porcelain capital, Jingdezhen. He saw how 43 trade between China and Europe not only changed our idea of what was beautiful but also affected the whole tradition of Chinese aesthetics too.
The porcelain fever has driven high 44 (consume) in the past ten years. Today China’s rising millionaire class are buying back the export china once shipped to Europe. The bowl 45 (sell) at auction shows that the appeal of Chinese porcelain is as strong as ever.

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly (费力地) practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with a little bit of gold.
I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the dandelions. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, suddenly pulling a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.”
Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened.
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is as important as the part of a princess.”
Over the next few weeks, with her constant encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear.

【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了猫头鹰弗拉科 从纽约中央公园动物园的围栏中逃了出来。在躲过了各种救援尝试后，弗拉科已经很好地适应了他宽敞的新家——他可能会一直呆在那里。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Zoo officials worried that Flaco, who had been kept in his zoo cage for 13 years, may have lost the survival abilities he needed in the wild.（动物园官员担心，在动物园笼子里被关了13年的弗拉科可能已经失去了在野外生存所需的能力。）”可知，因为他被关在笼子里太久了所以动物园官员担心弗拉科的生存能力。故选D。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段“But this week, zoo officials announced they accepted that Flaco remained in Central Park because he had been seen bringing up bones and fur from the park’s abundant community of rats. ‘He has been very successful at hunting and consuming the abundant rats in the park.’ zoo officials told the New York Post. ‘And that’s amazing. He’s hunting on his own. He’s flying better. Flaco really seems to be enjoying himself out there.’（但本周，动物园官员宣布，他们接受Flaco留在中央公园，因为有人看到它从公园里大量的老鼠群落中叼来骨头和皮毛。“他在猎捕和吃掉公园里大量的老鼠方面非常成功。动物园官员告诉《纽约邮报》。“这太神奇了。他在独自打猎。他飞得好多了。弗拉科似乎在那里玩得很开心。”）”可知，从第三段可以推断弗拉科已经适应了野外环境。故选A。
6．词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词后“They go around searching for food at night. They sleep during the day, or try to, like lots of people who work the overnight shift. （它们在夜间四处寻找食物。他们白天睡觉，或者试着睡觉，就像很多上夜班的人一样。）”可知，猫头鹰是夜行动物，划线词是在夜晚活跃的。故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“ Yet some New Yorkers who don’t know proper bird-watching behavior reportedly see Flaco sleep in a tree during the day, and begin to shout at him. It interrupts his sleep. Flaco can’t try to say “shh, shh” with the traditional New York reply. After all, a bird can’t give someone the bird.（然而，据报道，一些不知道正确观鸟行为的纽约人看到Flaco白天在树上睡觉，就开始对它大喊大叫。它打断了他的睡眠。弗拉科不能用传统的纽约人的回答说“嘘，嘘”。）”可知，作者对弗拉科睡眠被打断的态度是不同意的。故选D。
8．B 9．D 10．C 11．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了埃因霍芬理工大学的学生们创造出一款名叫Zem的吸收二氧化碳的电动汽车。
8．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Their car, called the Zem, is equipped with a special filter (过滤器) that cleans up the CO2 produced by other cars on the road. (他们的汽车名为Zem，配备了一种特殊的过滤器，可以清除道路上其他汽车产生的二氧化碳。)”可知，Zem能吸收二氧化碳是因为拥有特殊的过滤器。故选B项。
9．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Its body panels (金属板) were 3D printed to reduce waste and minimize the production of CO2. Recycled plastics were also used throughout the outside and inside. The car’s powertrain, which consists of small battery packs and a 22-kWh motor, also makes use of regenerative braking to increase efficiency. (它的车身金属板是3D打印的，以减少浪费并最大限度地减少二氧化碳的产生。内外都使用了再生塑料。该车的动力系统由小型电池组和一个22千瓦时的电机组成，还利用再生制动来提高效率。)”可知，Zem的制造减少浪费、使用再生材料，利用再生制动提高效率。由此可知，它对环境非常友好。故选D项。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The Zem purifies (净化) the air through the special filter while driving, capturing the CO2 and storing it. It is able to absorb two kg of CO2 for 20,000 miles a year, meaning ten cars could store as much carbon dioxide as an average tree — a significant amount when considering the world’s billion cars are currently one of its leading sources of emissions. (Zem在驾驶时通过特殊的过滤器净化空气，捕捉二氧化碳并储存起来。每年行驶2万英里，它能够吸收2公斤的二氧化碳，这意味着10辆汽车储存的二氧化碳相当于一棵普通的树——考虑到目前世界上10亿辆汽车是主要的排放源之一，这是一个相当大的数字。)”可知，Zem可以捕捉二氧化碳并进行储存，而且吸收的量非常可观。由此推知，它在减少污染方面有巨大的潜力。故选C项。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Zem is the second zero-emission vehicle we’ve seen come out of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Last year, another team of students created the Stella Vita, a solar-powered vehicle that could travel up to 450 miles a day. We can’t wait to see what the school’s students come up with next. (Zem是我们看到的第二款零排放汽车，来自埃因霍芬理工大学。去年，另一组学生创造了Stella Vita，这是一种太阳能汽车，每天可以行驶450英里。我们迫不及待地想看看这所学校的学生接下来会想出什么。)”可知，埃因霍芬理工大学的学生在创造环保汽车上表现突出，作者很期待这些学生接下来的想法。由此推知，作者期待他们能够进一步创新。故选C项。
12．B 13．A 14．C 15．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新型的智能字幕眼镜，可以帮助听力有障碍的人在剧院观看演出时更好地理解剧情。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段“When my Aunt Nicki visits me in London, we avoid musical theater and the cinema. Aunt Nicki is hard of hearing. Although there are many enhanced listening devices available to help her, such as a closed captioning (配字幕的) screen that sits in a cup holder, she tells me they don’t work well enough.(当我的尼基姨妈来伦敦看我时，我们避免去看音乐剧和电影。尼基阿姨听力不好。虽然有很多增强的听力设备可以帮助她，比如一个放在杯架上的封闭字幕屏幕，但她告诉我，这些设备的效果还不够好)”和第二段“When I recently tried on the new “smart caption glasses” at the Royal National Theatre, I had her on my mind. (最近，当我在皇家国家剧院试戴新的“智能字幕眼镜”时，我脑海中浮现出了她)”可推知，作者在第一段提到Nicki阿姨来引出这个话题（新型的智能字幕眼镜）。故选B。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段“A handheld keypad is attached to the glasses through cable (电缆线) to allow each user to customize the color, size and position of the closed captions.(手持式键盘通过电缆连接到眼镜上，允许每个用户定制关闭字幕的颜色，大小和位置)”可知，用户通过手持键盘控制智能眼镜上的隐藏字幕。故选A。
14．推理判断题。根据第三段““If a performer jumps a few lines, the system will react,” said Jonathan Suffolk, the technical director for the Royal National Theatre. “It will take a second or two but the system will react and it will recognize where it is.”(“如果表演者跳了几行，系统就会做出反应，”英国皇家国家剧院的技术总监乔纳森·萨福克说。“这需要一两秒钟的时间，但系统会做出反应，并识别出它在哪里。”)”可知，系统在一两秒钟的时间内会做出反应，根据乔纳森·萨福克的说法，语音系统对表演者的反应很快。故选C。
15．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Richard France — who works for a group called Deafinitely Theatre, which creates performances for both the deaf and hearing communities — has worked with many different technologies but calls the smart glasses a potential game changer.(理查德·弗朗斯就职于一个名为Deafinitely Theatre的组织，该组织为聋哑人和听力正常的人创作表演。他研究了许多不同的技术，但称智能眼镜是一个潜在的游戏规则改变者)”结合本文主要介绍了一种新型的智能字幕眼镜，可以帮助听力有障碍的人在剧院观看演出时更好地理解剧情。因此本文的最佳标题是A选项“智能眼镜：游戏改变者”。故选A。

47．范文
Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous. At first I was at a loss what to do, but it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. I calmed down as soon as possible. I knew that the narrator part was of vital significance. I performed so well that the audience stood up and burst into thunderous applause.
After the play, I took home the flower I had placed in the pocket. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though decades have passed, I constantly recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful, because smiles on Mother’s face and her kind act foster a man like me now! And all those inspiring words like “Cease to struggle and you cease to live.” have been echoing in my mind as fresh as a daisy.
