17、a play in Hebrew?A. On Saturday 28 April. B. On Sunday 29 AprilC. On Tuesday 22 May. D. On Tuesday 29 MayBThere has been a technological revolution where kindles, e-books, and various online reading apps have taken over the world. Is reading a printed book out of date? Well, not exactly.There are so
18、 many wonderful factors involved with reading a printed book. I remember the excitement of going to the bookstore with my mom when I was in elementary school. The feel of sitting down in the book store and selecting the books I wanted to read was just so much fun! I think that reading printed books
19、has its own charm and excitement that cannot be replaced by an electronic book. Holding the printed book in my hands, and turning over each page makes the reading experience so much more real and memorable.Admittedly, e-books seem to be more convenient than printed books. Purchasing an e-book can ta
20、ke place in seconds and these books are often priced less expensively than printed books. With e-books, there likely isnt going to be a storage problem, unless the device has a limit on how many books can be purchased. Then again, in order to read e-books one must have a particular device-tablet, iP
21、ad, kindle or laptop to read it on. Thus, an additional payment has to be made in order to read e-books, whereas reading printed books does not involve any extra device.Printed books never actually stopped leading the charge, considering that e-book sales have never made up more than a third of all
22、book sales. And although they rose to that number extremely quicklyAmazon, only introduced the kindle in 2007the majority of all books sold have always been printed ones. The reality is that there is absolutely no reason printed books and e-books cant coexist(共存) in the book market, but printed book
23、s may carry the day. 24. What advantage do e-books have according to the passage?A. The reading experience is more real. B. There is no storage problem at all.C. Purchasing them takes less time. D. They are very priceless.25. What can we infer about the book market?A. E-book sales make up more than
24、1/3 of all book sales.B. E-book sales have never surpassed printed book sales.C. Amazon occupies most of the market. D. Printed books and e-books cant coexist. 26. Whats the authors attitude towards the future of printed books?A. Worried. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent.D. Doubtful.CCan dogs and cats
25、live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still
26、 young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between th
27、e cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In
28、homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk Cat.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop
29、their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping togethe
30、r on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get a
31、long, surely people have a good chance.27. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. early B. sweetly C. quickly D. smoothly28.

They learn to speak each others language.D. They know something from each others voices.30. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats a
33、nd dogs _.A. have common interests B. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body language D. are less intelligent than was expected31. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony. B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peac
34、e with animals. D. We should learn more body languages.D“Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板)can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿) can go almost anywhere,” says physicist Olga
35、 Malinkiewicz. “We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications.” Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a fav
36、orite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Soleil Technologies
37、 Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is a sustainable (可持续的)development manager for Skanska. “They work perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that a
38、bout one square meter of panel can supply a days worth of power for one workers computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues,” says the companys scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been ar
39、ound only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.32. What do we know
40、 about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A. Its delicate.B. Its complex. C. Its flexible.D. Its expensive.33. What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A.

To advise scientists to further study perovskite cells.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2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。The Chapramari Forest lies in the eastern area of India. 36 But a
43、large group of elephants found still-green grasses along the railway line that crosses through the forest. As the elephants got near and on the tracks at dusk, a passenger train traveling at 50 mph knocked into the herd. Seven elephants were killed, and 10 injured. 37 The deaths occur at hotspots in
44、 a few Indian states where trains intersect (交叉) with elephant habitats.
