17、netti 28 Guest House.D. Hotel Sunset Roma.BTwelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a very calm person, so when I could almost feel his heartbeat through the phone line, I r
18、an.When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped（被包裹）in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.What neither of us knew, or could have assumed, was that Danny had not just saved an ab
19、andoned infant; he had found our son.Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to tell the story of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby?” The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”“But
20、I know its not that easy,” he said.“Well, it can be,” said the judge before giving orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy? How could you say yes without asking me?In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child
21、: I was an devoted playwright（剧作家）working as a part-time word clerk. Danny was a respected yet wildly under paid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they want to have a baby. And while Danny had p
22、atience and selflessness, I didnt know how to change a diaper（尿布）, let alone nurse a child. I didnt trust the social system and was sure there would be difficulties. Also, I couldnt handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldnt devote to it.The caretaker held the baby and then placed him in my a
23、rms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he showed to me, I, like Danny, completely fell for him.24. Why did the author rush to the subway station?A. Because Danny finally found their son.B. Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.C. Because Danny had a heart dis
24、ease.D. Because someone gave birth to a baby there.25. How did the author feel on hearing Dannys answer to the judges question?A. Excited by Dannys words.B. Crazy to be a parent-to-be.C. Angry about Danny s decision.D. Upset about losing her authority.26. It can be inferred from the last paragraph t

What is the authors intention of writing the passage?A. To introduce a story of a poor family.B. To inform people of the difficulty of ado
26、pting a baby.C. To show humans kindness and love by nature.D. To call on people to donate money to them.CSoil creates life from death. The production of more than 95% of the food we eat relies on soil. But this precious resource is eroding（侵蚀）at a global average of 13.5 tons per hectare per year. In
27、stead of nourishing crops, fertile topsoil is washed and blown away, ending up in inconvenient places such as ditches and oceans.Jo Handelsman and Kayla Cohen try to make readers care about soil in A World Without Soil. Their prologue（前言）takes the form of a letter to the government. With the letter,
28、 they hope to make soil management a federal priority. The following chapters cover the basic science of soil as well as the causes and consequences of its erosion. In the last part of the book, the authors turn to possible solutionsmany of them simple, and some centuries old. They describe about tr
29、aditional soil management techniques, including planting diverse crops in rotation（轮种）, increasing organic content, ploughing as little as possible, etc. With these techniques, farmers are able to produce rich agricultural production while maintaining deep banks of fertile soil.Why, then, is fertile
30、 soil being allowed to be washed and blown away? The answer, not surprisingly, rests in global capitalism. Farmers profit is thin, forcing farmers to plant the highest-profit crop from field to field every season. To ensure food security, Handelsman and Cohen urge the world to demand a real top-down
31、 change in how agricultural production is managed. “The burden of protecting soil cannot be shifted to farmers and environmental activists,” they note. Governments must begin to move towards a model in which farmers are less independent business people growing and selling food, and more government-s

A Call to Save SoilB. Tips to Reshape AgricultureC. Ways to Enrich FarmlandD. An Appeal to Guarantee Food
36、SupplyDIt scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. These words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion
37、that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or quest
38、ions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive（认知的）scientists.There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Ev
39、en if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child just without instruction getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English- speakers come to understand grammar by studying a f
40、oreign language, rather than the other way round.For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually u
41、sable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic（语言学的）expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python（编程）.Grammar could still be taught better. One small study
42、showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.32. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar?A.
43、Teachers teaching methods are far from satisfactory.B. Its unnecessary for small kids to grasp modal verbs.C. Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.D. Grammar Learning doesnt bring obvious effect to writing.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “getting t

You may have lots of feelings but theres no right way to feel or to grieve. As people are all different, the length of time it takes for you to feel less

They can feel really big and overwhelming.” 38 Solanki says, “Its really important that you talk about feeling sad, afraid or if you have

I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.My
66、 mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mom suggested brightly. “Im sure the seniors there who do not have families visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and
67、you could play more than just two songs.”I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play
68、 more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming days, I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old
69、 classics.When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting
