23、er, Chad. “Do you hear the train?” I listened, but I heard only thunder in the distance. It was still miles away, but I heard it. It grew stronger and louder as it gained speed and got closer. How could that be? I wondered. We were about to grab our bikes to see what it actually was when we stopped.
24、 What looked like a flock of birds darkened the sky overhead. When I looked at it closer, I realized it wasnt birds. It was a tornado(龙卷风). The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as the air turned green and heavy. The sun disappeared. The wind strengthened and roared. I grabbed Chads arm and pull
25、ed him toward the house.I tried to open the door, but it was as if an invisible force pushed against me. The door refused to open.

26、d be just Chad and me at home the first time we needed to use it. “Inside the closet!” I yelled. It was small and crowded, but we got in it anyway. Chad began to cry. “Its going to be all right.” I told him. But I was worried about Mom. I hope shed found a safe place to wait out the storm.The storm
27、continued to rage. I heard a thud on the roof. The whole house creaked and groaned. Then it was quiet. I opened the door and we inched our way out of the closet. Rain had got in through the open window and wet the carpets. A kitchen window had shattered, its screen blown away. I looked at the backya
28、rd. The tree was uprooted, and broken branches lay on the ground. “Jason, I cant get service,” Chad said as he held the phone in his hand. We had no electricity, either.

BHow to Use a Modern Public LibraryHas it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have chan
32、ged for the better. Its been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business. Check out a book. While libraries still loan out（出借）books, youll
33、find it easier to get a copy of whatever youre looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book youve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you b
34、y e-mail, so you can pick it up. Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats（载体形式）. You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isnt offered an
35、d the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown. Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions aimed at various age groups. Perhaps youd like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a langua
36、ge group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. Start a business usi
37、ng the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business managemen

42、ures, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite （有限的）we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative methods to measure the size of peo
43、ples social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average persons friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our i
44、nner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be decreasing: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social
45、relationships tend to live longer than those who dont.So what should you do if you dont have active social life? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, dont refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful infl
46、uence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a
47、 total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly rebuild the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty （新奇）dawn from whatever theyve been up to i
48、n the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you dont know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a reward, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere
49、, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.58. From Paragraph 2, we can know that .A. a strong social
50、 relationship can ensure a long lifeB. real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC. peoples inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD. peoples social networks depend on their desire for companionship59. What does the author suggest to improve ones social life?A. Sharing s
51、ecrets with close friends. B. Choosing likable people as friends.C. Avoiding the humble acquaintance. D. Spending time for deeper friendships.60. What is the passage mainly about?A. The tips on how to develop friendship. B. The reasons for seeking companionship.C. The benefits brought by a good soci
52、al life.D. The relationship between friendship and happiness.61. The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .A. using research resultsB. making comparisonsC. giving some examplesD. telling personal storiesDWe Are CyborgsRoboCop, the Bionic Woman, Darth Vaderwhat do these character
53、s have in common? They are all cyborgshumans who are made more powerful by advanced technology. You might think that cyborgs exist only in fiction, or are a possibility only in the distant future. But cyborg technology already exists.The word “cyborg” was first used in 1960 and defined as an organis
54、m “to which external components have been added for the purpose of adapting to new environments”. According to this definition, an astronaut in a spacesuit is an example of cyborg, as the spacesuit helps the astronaut adapt to a new environmentspace. More recently, the word has evolved to refer to h
55、uman beings who have mechanical body parts that make them more than human.Although super-humans like RoboCop are not yet a reality, advances in real-life cyborg technology allow some people to compensate for abilities they have lost, and give other people new and unusual abilities. An example is fil
56、mmaker Rob Spence and his bionic eye. Spence injured one of his eyes in an accident. A camera was implanted in his prosthetic eye（假眼）. The eye is not connected to his brain or optic nerve（视神经）, but it can record what he sees. Spence has used his camera eye to record interviews for a documentary abou
57、t people with bionic body parts.Some types of cyborg technology replace a lost ability by connecting directly to a persons nerves. Michael Chorost completely and suddenly lost his ability to hear in July of 2001. Two months later, doctors placed a cochlear implant, a kind of computer, inside his sku
58、ll. This type of implant connects to auditory nerves and allows a deaf person to hear again. Around the world, over 300,000 people have now been fitted with cochlear implants.These examples of cyborg technology have enabled people to strengthen or change their abilities and improve their lives. But
59、does everyone want to use cyborg technology? It might be too late to decide. Cyborg scientist Amber Case argues that most of us are already cyborgs. Anyone who uses a computer or a smartphone, Case claims, is a cyborg. Consider the data that you have in your smartphone. It keeps information for you
60、so you dont have to remember it: notes, phone numbers, email addresses, messages. It also allows you to communicate with friends and family via telephone, text messages, email, and social networks.The potential benefits of cyborg technology are clear, but can this new technology be harmful, too? Cou
61、ld we become too dependent on cyborg technologyand become less than human? These still remain questions.62. According to the passage, the cyborg _.A. is similar to human beings B. took root in fiction charactersC. first appeared in space industry D. has some device attached to the body63. With the h
62、elp of cyborg technology, _.A. eyesight can be restoredB. the nerve injury can be repairedC. lost abilities can be replaced by a new skillD. hearing loss can be prevented by cochlear implants64. Amber Case probably thinks that _.A. technology makes cyborgs become commonB. cyborg technology is crucia
63、l to modern societyC. the use of mobiles improves cyborg technologyD. cyborg technology helps improve human memory65. What is the authors attitude toward cyborg technology?A. Critical. B. Doubtful.C. Optimistic. D. Objective.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Parents and

65、hat parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they always forget how they themselves felt when young. 67 It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation.

73、 the famous educationalist, said, “Education is not 81 for life; education is life itself.”Most people believe when they are living 82 and earning enough money, they will have no worries.
