Every holiday season, Patricia Gallagher fills her car with stuffed animals and drives around Philadelphia. She gives them not to kids but to seniors.

Patricia's holiday tradition started in 2009. "I just got this idea to call two nursing homes at random and ask if I could come and read It was the Night Before Christmas, “she said. She brought some of her kids' stuffed animals for the seniors to hold while she read. “But when I went to gather them and take them back to go to the next nursing home, nobody wanted to give up their stuffed animals," she added. It was then and there that she realized the power of a simple holiday gift.

Patricia wanted to continue her tradition of giving, so she put an ad online, asking for gently used stuffed animals. In her first two years of collecting, she received more than 11,000 donated stuffed animals. She said sometimes local schools would hold stuffed animal collections on her behalf, or a child who outgrew their toys would donate. After receiving too many, Patricia started capping how many she would collect at a time, and said she could only take in about 250 stuffed animals each week during the holiday season. Then, she took them to nursing homes.

“The elderly want stuffed animals not only for comfort, but they were conversation starters. It reminded them of their childhood, "she said. And she recalled one man said," You know, I never wanted to go to school. And my father said if I would go that day, he would take me to the Brooklyn Zoo. And you know what? This was the first animal I saw there and it looked just like this giraffe."

Spreading joy isn't just a holiday pastime for Patricia. She is also known as the "Happy Flower Lady" around Philadelphia, because she collects old flowers from stores and passes them out to anyone who needs a pick-me-up.

“When you give, you really do get more back," Patricia said." Every morning,  whether it's the flowers or the stuffed animals, I have a purpose."

24.Why did Patricia go to the nursing homes in 2009?

A.To send gifts to the seniors.

C.To get over her loneliness.

B.To read a story to the elderly.

D.To get rid of her kids  'toys.

25.What does the underlined word “capping"  in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Limiting.

C.Identifying.

B. Recording.

D. Doubling

26.What can we infer from paragraph 4?

A.Seniors love good old days.

C.Giving makes seniors happy.

B.Cute animals have healing effects on seniors.

D.Stuffed animals have more than one function.

27.What does Patricia think of her giving experiences?

A.Rewarding.

B.Entertaining.

C.Timely.

D.Tough.

C

A new study suggests classic paintings by well-known Impressionists Joseph Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.

The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard and Sorbonne universities, analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner  from 1796 to 185O'and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901.

Scientists don't know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data. However, researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long-term environmental change with the air pollution.

In particular，researchers said changes in local sulfur（硫）dioxide emissions from burning coal may explain changes in the colour contrast and intensity of Turner, Monet, and others' works, even after taking into account the artistic trends and subject matter of the time.

Scientists successfully measured painters' representation of nature, focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe. Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent. Generally, artists can historically accurately represent their environment, so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution, when air pollution grew at an rate never seen before.

Additionally, researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted, the cities would appear hazier to the eyes as well as in photographs. By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era, they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions.

28.How did the researchers conduct the study?

A.By referring to relevant historical records.

B.By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet.

C.By relating the paintings to the air conditions then.

D.By analyzing the data during the Industrial Revolution.

29.What did the researchers find in the works of Turner  and Monet?

A.Air pollution at that time.

C.Social trends of the period.

B.Change in subject matter.

D.Development of photography.

30.What can we learn from paragraph 5?

A.European artists preferred landscape paintings.

B.Scientists focused on studying weather patterns.

C.Turer and Monet intended to present pollution.

D.Britain suffered from air pollution most in Europe.

31.What is the purpose of the text?

A.To inform people of a new discovery.

C.To introduce the Industrial Revolution.

B.To instruct people to appreciate paintings.

D.To call on people to protect the environment.

Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack that could power their vehicle for more than a thousand miles on a single charge. Researchers have developed a lithium-air battery that could make that dream a reality. The new battery design could also once day power airplanes and trucks. The main new component in this lithium-air battery is a solid electrolyte（电解质）instead of the usual liquid variety.

Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire.  More importantly, the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy four times, which translates into longer driving range.

For over a decade，scientists have been working overtime to develop a lithium（锂）battery that makes use of the oxygen in air. The lithium-ai battery has the highest energy of any battery technology being considered for the next generation of batteries beyond lithium-ion.

The new solid electrolyte is composed of a material made from relatively inexpensive Clements, compared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reaction in lithium-ion only involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule（分子），while that for lithium-air battery involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy.

The new design is the first lithium-air battery that has achieved a four-electron reaction at room temperature. It also operates with oxygen supplied by air from the surrounding environment. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a problem with earlier designs.

“With further development, we expect our new design for the lithium-air battery to reach a record of 1200 watt-hours per kilogram, "said Curtiss, a researcher.  "That is nearly four times better than lithium-ion batteries."

32.What contributes most to the lithium-air battery?

A.Lithium-ion.

C.Solid electrolytes.

B.Oxygen molecules.

D.Liquid component.

33.What's the problem with lithium-ion batteries?

A.They bum easily if overheated.

C.They damage the environment.

B.They are unsafe in production.

D.They require longer charging time.

34.How does the author organize paragraph 4?

A.By giving examples.

C.By presenting statistics.

B.By making comparisons.

D.By analyzing cause and effect.

35.What is the best title of the text?

A.How Lithium-air Batteries Work

B. What will Be Used to Power Airplanes

C.Electric Cars Are Becoming More Popular

D.New Batteries Offer Longer Driving Range

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填大空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Back pain can make it difficult for many people to function in everyday life. 36 If you suffer from back pain, read on for four everyday fixes.

Our bodies need adequate movement throughout the day to avoid the stiffness（僵硬）that contributes to aches and pains. If the weather is good, don’t hunt for the nearest parking spot; don’t take the elevator when you have the option of one or two flights of stairs. When you need to sit for long periods, set a timer to get up every hour and be active for just a few minutes.37

When we overuse our dominant side, we create muscle patterns of weakness and tension that increase pain, especially in our backs. Consider the actions you take repeatedly throughout the day that shift your weight to one side. 38 And use your opposite hand every so often for basic activities, such as opening doors.

Psychological stress is a noted risk factor for back pain, according to research. Most mental stress is caused by focusing on the past or future. 39 A few minutes a day of mindfulness can go a long way toward minimizing the impact of stress. Additionally, mindfulness practices like tai chi have all shown effectiveness in reducing back pain.

40 That is, you can create a game plan of daily activities to practice for back health. If your back hurts at the end of the day, don't just decide it was a "bad" day. Ask yourself if you practiced the activities to help you avoid the stress and tension. Taking an active, daily-life approach to maintaining a healthy body is the key to keeping back pain at bay.

A.Switch sides when you carry things.

B.It affects how you move, feel and think.

C.You should learn more about the cause of your pain.

D.Approach the health of your back as a responsibility.

E.So actively being mindful of the present reduces stress.

F.You'd better take a quick break to check in with your breathing.

G.More minutes of movement add up to big health benefits over time.

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。

It was Tamika's turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly.

"This summer I went to Bradley,"  Tamika announced. "They have a big market there. My mom bought a painting，and I got second-hand inline skates（竖排轮滑鞋）.We had a great time there and..”

"That's not a trip, “Jeremy whispered loudly to his partner. “It’s only half an hour from here.  My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair shop."

“Jeremy, no interrupting," said Miss Snowden, their teacher."  And Bradley has a fine market. I'm glad that Tamika can tell us about it. Go ahead, Tamika." Miss Snowden smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.

But Tamika didn't feel proud of her family's trip to Bradley any more and she just felt embarrassed. Tamika dropped her head and said in a low voice that she was finished, and then hurried back to her desk. She hoped that the other kids didn't notice her face turning   red.

Tamika listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Jamaica. She heard about Mary's trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She heard about John’s horseback ride through the Grand Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. “I never get to go anywhere." Tamika thought to herself. A sense of sadness clouded her the whole day.

After school, things got worse. One of the wheels on Tamika's skates came loose. Now she couldn't even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Tamika tried to fix her wheel but did not know bow. Then Miss Snowden happened to pass by. She walked up with a smile on her face, asking. You look unhappy. Tamika. Why are you sitting here?" Tamika lowered her head, tears building up inside her eyes."  Want to talk about it? " Miss Snowden asked kindly. Tamika nodded, trying to avoid Miss Snowden's eyes. Bending down, Miss Snowden said in a whisper: "You know, Tamika, we don't always have to travel far to learn anything."  Tamika looked up and seemed to understand what Miss Snowden meant.

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。

At this moment, Jeremy was walking by and saw them.

“I can fix it," Jeremy said with confidence.
