It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn't know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend's words—"I can help organize the whole thing"—stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team's website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn't come in last. I followed it religiously and didn't let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city's hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale's, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. "I don't want you to feel guilty about anything." Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
24. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning
A. She felt it hard to finish the race.
B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless.
D. She was reminded of her mother's death.
25. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom's death
A. The company of her friends.
B. The inspiration from her mom.
C. The pleasure in going for a run.
D. The success in organizing an event.
26. Which of the words can best describe the author's mom
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
27. What might be the best title for the passage
A. How I Got Healed in Running. B. The Loss of Sweet Memories.
C. What Matters Most in Running . D. The Rewards of Great Friendship.
C
Turkmenistan is a country in Central Asia, near Afghanistan and Iran. In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a massive hole in the ground—about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit has been on fire for more than 50 years.
Why is the crater on fire The most popular theory is that in 1971, a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country's Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning steadily for more than 50 years.
According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that "no one actually knows how this…inferno came to be". But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.
Turkmenistan's president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country's state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire.
One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it's just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website , the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas.
28. Why did the geologists light the crater
A. To test the quality of the gas. B. To exhaust the underground gas.
C. To prevent explosion of the gas. D. To stop the escape of the gas.
29. What does the underlined word "inferno" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The article. B. The theory. C. The fire. D. The president.
30. What does Turkmenistan's president want to do
A. To protect the crater. B. To find the reason of the fire.
C. To seek help from the public. D. To exploit and use the gas.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out
B. A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan
C. The Crater Burning for Fifty Years
D. The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas
D
Our perception of hoe food tastes is influenced by cutlery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
"Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor," says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor—white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
"How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes," said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. "Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience."
Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. "The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic (美食的) experiences at restaurants," said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: "There's a lot more to food than what's on the plate. Many things we thought didn't matter do. We're going to see a lot more of neuroscience (神经科学) design around mealtimes."
32. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is ______.
A. salty B. sour C. sweet D. bitter
33. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3
A. It is important for people.
B. People usually don't care about it.
C. It affects how the food tastes.
D. It is always different from people's expectation.
34. What does the underlined word "multisensory" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Coming from the senses. B. Involving many different senses.
C. Able to feel or perceive. D. Easily affected by other feelings.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.
B. Research on food will be continued in the future.
C. Research on the effect of nerves on the taste of food will be done.
D. Research on plates and food will be carried out in the near future.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Can you imagine your doctor warning that taking a bath could be unhealthy In the early 1800s, many doctors thought that bathtubs (浴缸) could carry diseases, so they advised against their use. (36 The White House did not even have a bathtub until 1851.
In the 19th century, only one home out of six had a bathroom. 37 On Saturday nights, children all lined up for their turns to wash in a wooden bathtub in the kitchen. Mothers had to boil the water on the stove and carry it over to fill the tub. 38
When the first bathtubs were introduced, even their makers weren't sure whether the new fashion would last. They advertised their products as water containers that "could be used as bathing tubs".
39 By then most middle-class families had indoor taps. At first most bathtubs were made of wood, but as the popularity of the product increased, so did the creativity of bathtub makers. Before porcelain (瓷) bathtubs there were rubber ones like the plastic swimming pools kids use today. In the past, owners often invited guests to see them. They told their friends how wonderful baths in these bathtubs could be.
Now doctors no longer warn that bathtubs carry diseases. 40 Maybe one of the best reasons why doctors encourage frequent trips to the bathtub is that bathed patients smell better!
A.A child took only one bath a week.
B.The water was too hot for children to have a good bath.
C.It's not strange that children could not jump into a bathtub as they do today.
D.The bathtub became popular in America shortly after World War I.
E.The doctors still believe that it is unhealthy for people to bathe in bathtubs.
F.Instead they tell their patients about the advantages of frequent bathing.
G.The advice wasn't based on personal experience, because few of the doctors owned tubs.

第二节 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。（满分25分）
My parents grew up poor. But as a family, we were comfortable, though we didn't have much what would be considered luxuries. One year, my father went on a trip to Italy and brought my mother an opal ring. It was her favorite stone, and she cherished that ring. It represented Dad's love for her.
Dad died at the age of 53 in 1980 after a grueling battle with cancer. Mom was working at Burlington Coat Factory Department store. She usually wore the ring to work. Over the years, the ring became impossible for my Mom to wear because of her swollen knuckles (指关节). I had the ring fitted with a clasp so that Mom could wear it again. She took great pride in the frequent compliments as she got on that ring.
One day during her shift, the ring slipped off. She didn't realize it until the following day. Mom was sad. The ring did not have a high monetary value, but it meant as much to her as life itself. I decided to go and look for it.
I encountered Chloe, one of my Mom's co-workers at my Mom's workplace. She led me to the store where Mom worked, and then left. It was packed with clothes, racks and tables. I started row by row crawling on the floor to see if I could find the ring underneath all the clothes. When I got to the last row and hadn't found the ring, the thought occurred to me that it might have fallen into the pocket of a coat as my Mom was hanging or rearranging the clothes. I started feeling around in the pockets of some of the coats, but quickly abandoned. There were at least 20,000 pieces of clothing in that department. The attempt seemed useless.

Greener Life, Cleaner Air It is not easy to ignore the heavy smog that occurs in our country. It usually gets serious in winter and affects many areas in China, causing much inconvenience and even doing harm to our life and health.
①The situation warns us to take action to fight for clean air before it's getting more serious. And I believe a green lifestyle can make a big difference to the air quality. Firstly, it's good to take buses or other means of public transportation rather than cars whenever possible. What's more, be aware of saving water, electricity and paper. ②Moreover, recycle whatever we can to live a green life. Last but not least, don't forget to influence those around you to follow!
I stood by a small table in disappointment when Chloe came in. "Have you found the ring " she asked curiously. "No, I have already got to the last row but in vain. Maybe I should search all the coats here." Looking at over 20,000 pieces clothing, Chloe lent a helping hand, "It's not an easy task." We opened one pocket after another, going to the second room, and then the third. We two were sweating heavily with red faces. Suddenly, I burst out screaming, "Yes! That's it!" Chole ran to me quickly. She patted my arm gently, "tell your mom, dear."
I called my Mom and now I was choking back tears. "Mom, good news!" I could tell how happy my Mom was by her laughter. After all, it meant a lot. I thanked Chole and went home. The moment I stepped out the store, the night sky was lit up by flashes of light quietly. Tiring as it was, the recovery of this precious ring bought greater pleasure.
