10、clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.The anecdote（轶事）above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once
11、 every few years was often the highlight of my summers what more can you ask from a food paradise? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldnt seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste o
12、f what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, peering in. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents huge family dinners.In America though, I am a different person. I dont th
13、ink twice about my grammar when speaking. I dont struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories wont get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether Im judged for having an accent or whether Im misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia,
14、 I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already?” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pa
15、ss for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist.4.How did the author feel in t
16、he anecdote?A. Confused and scared.B. Embarrassed and nervous.C. Curious and surprised.D. Upset and puzzled.5. Why did the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2?A.

Almost all of the worlds liquid fresh water that is called groundwater lies underground.Earth is a water planet, bu
19、t most of its water is in the oceans. Only about 2.5 percent of the planets water is fresh water, of which nearly 69 percent is frozen in glaciers（冰川）and ice caps and about 30 percent is groundwater - much more than the 1.2 percent that flows through rivers and fills lakes.Groundwater is found almos
20、t everywhere on Earth. It hides under mountains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rocks and soil grains take in and hold this water like a sponge（海绵）, forming buried bodies of water called aquifers（地下蓄水层）. Together, they hold about 60 times as much water as the worlds lakes and rivers comb
21、ined. Groundwater is a key part of the earths water cycle. Rain and melted snow go down into the ground. The water can stay there for thousands of years. Some groundwater naturally runs out onto the earths surface through springs. It also flows into lakes, rivers and wetlands. People get groundwater
22、 through wells for drinking, watering crops and other uses.As human-caused climate change dries out parts of the planet, demand for groundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase storms. Heavier rain is more likely to rush straight into streams and storm drains, instead of going
23、 into the soil. So, there may be less groundwater around.Many of the worlds aquifers already seem to be drying up. Twenty-one of the earths 37 biggest aquifers are becoming smaller, satellite data show. The most dried-out aquifers are near big cities, farms, or dry regions. As groundwater stores dwi
24、ndle, they hold less water to refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecosystems.8.What can we know about groundwater from Paragraph 3?A. It will end up in rivers and seas.B. Its mainly stored in wet regions.C. Its mainly kept in the form of aquifers.D. It runs out onto the earths sur
25、face regularly.9.Why does climate change result in less groundwater according to the text?A. It makes heavier rain go into the soil.B. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.C. It causes glaciers to disappear faster than ever.D. It allows less rain to go underground directly.10.What does th
26、e underlined word “dwindle” in the last paragraph mean?A. Decrease.B. Change.C. Develop.D. Form.11.What is the best title of the passage?A. The threat from climate changeB. The water cycle in the worldC. The decrease of groundwaterD. Water crisis on the planetDAnnissa Jobb, with a walking stick, wen
27、t to the office of Riam Shammaa, a pain specialist in Toronto, in 2017. Jobbs back pain first appeared about a decade earlier due to an undiagnosed herniated disc, which had pressed a nerve. As the pain worsened, Jobb clenched her teeth and tried to keep going. Now she was desperate for help. “I had
28、 a drawer full of pain medication. None of it was working.” said Jobb.Historically, the treatment of such back pain has been less than ideal, sometimes causing patients to become addicted to painkillers or to undergo major surgery, which is suitable for only about 1 in 20 patients. Hunting for a sol
29、ution beyond these limited options, Dr. Shammaa turned to stem cellsthe building-block cells found in various tissues in adult bodieswhich can generate a set of different cells. Specifically, hed been studying bone marrow（骨髓）stem cells, and he invited Jobb to participate in a study with 23 other pat
30、ients. He hoped that injecting（注射）the stem cells, known as MSCs, into the patients herniated disc would multiply and heal the damaged tissue.The procedure took three and a half hours. It began with the collection of Jobbs bone marrowthe most painful stepwhich was immediately distilled（蒸馏）and concent
31、rated into bone marrow mixture, or BMAC, then injected into the discs. Guided by a special type of X-ray, Dr. Shammaa inserted a needle through Jobbs spine to place the BMAC into the discs. Jobb remained awake for the entire procedure in order to alert Dr. Shammaa if he touched a nerve. Afterward, J
32、obb recovered in bed for two weeks and then, slowly, began to walk.A month later she stepped swiftly into the clinic, a moment Dr. Shammaa recalled with delight. “While Jobb had previously described her pain as beyond ten, she says that its now a two.”12.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
33、A. Annissa Jobbs back pain experiencesB. The desperate situation of Annissa JobbC. The treatment of Annis Jobbs illnessD. The cause for Annissa Jobbs visit to a pain specialist13.Why does the author mention the treatment of back pain in history?A. To introduce the process of the previous treatmentB.
34、 To explain the necessity of Dr. Shammaas researchC. To show the development of the treatment of back painD. To provide the supporting evidence for Dr. Shammaas research14.What can we know about the stem cells in the treatment?A. They can function in any part of human bodiesB. They are able to help
35、cells reproduce and recoverC. They will be injected into the tissues nearby herniated discD. They will be concentrated before collecting patientss bone marrow15.What can we infer from Dr. Shammaas words in the last paragraph?A. Jobb has a poor comment on her treatment.B. Jobb has only two pain spots
36、 after the treatment.C. Jobbs back pain has been dramatically relieved.D. Jobbs back pain is evaluated more precisely than before.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。For some people, music is no fun at all.

38、fe can be hard for amusics.Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable
