I love having beautiful flowersbut I dont have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.A few months aft
11、er our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring.“When you see the leaves of
12、the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, youll know that its almost time for your son to come home. Theyll give you what you need most.” She walked me through the process of planting them. It was a long wintercold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son aw
13、ay. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where Id planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that t
14、hose tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.Day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each
15、 brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to holding my son in my arms again.21. Which of the following is true about the author?A. She is a professional gardener. B. She never plants flowers at home.C. She is not good at growing flowers.D. She often sends friends flowers as gifts.22. Wh
16、y did the author forget the tulip bulbs soon?A. She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed.B. The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away.C. She was discouraged from making another attempt.D. They failed to live through the cold and long winter.23. What can be a suitable title for the text?
17、A. A Dark Winter With Hope B. Living a Positive Life C. An Area of Green in SpringD. Planting Hope in WinterBAn 80-year-old man and his family may soon get a bill for the cost of his rescue mission. After an all-night search by rescuers, James Clark of Dublin, Ohio, was found “not moving and exhibit
18、ing what appeared to be signs and symptoms on low body temperature to the point of not being able to speak any clear words,” according to a statement. Similarly, in 2015, a family of four received an about 8,500 bill after their daytime hike left them lost in the dark and requiring search and rescue
19、 (SAR). This raises an interesting question: Who pays for the cost when you get lost or injured in the great outdoors?The high cost of SAR missions is what prompted states like New Hampshire to pass laws that establish programs like Hike Safe to hold individuals more financially accountable for thei
20、r rescues. However, some people have called for more strict laws to shift SAR costs off taxpayers. They say such a move would ultimately make people take more responsibility, but its a controversial idea. “Society rescues people all the timeauto accident victims, home fire victimsand at far greater
21、cost than wilderness hiker rescues.” writes Backpacker.Critics say putting a price tag on SAR could cause people to hesitate before calling for help in emergency situations. But Heggie says this isnt actually the reason why the National Park Service doesnt charge for SAR. “If an agency such as NPS s
22、tarts charging the public for SAR costs, the agency essentially has to conduct SAR operations. If something goes wrong during the SAR operation, someone could lead to a lawsuit (起诉).”Both Heggie and Kupper say the best way people can avoid needing rescue is simply by being prepared, suggesting that
23、people research hikes before they go, pay attention to their surroundings, pack essential gear and not rely on a cellphone as a survival kit. “The best time to prevent SAR incidents is when people are still at home,” Heggie said.24. What happened to James when he was rescued?A. He lost his way home.
24、B. He didnt dare to move alone.C. He couldnt express himself.D. He was seriously injured.25. What benefit does a price tag on SAR have?A. To pay back the rescuers.B. To make hikers more responsible.C. To reduce outdoor activities.D. To discourage hikers calling for help.26. What is the reason for NP
25、S to avoid charging for SAR?A. The possibility of being charged.B. The heavy burden of medical costs.C. The difficulty in doing a SAR operation.D. The fear of doing fewer SAR operations.27. What is the most effective way to avoid a rescue need according to Heggie?A. Packing necessary things.B. Carry
26、ing a survival kit.C. Taking a cellphone everywhere.D. Preparing well in advance.CIsraeli company Watergen has produced an appliance that can generate clean, drinkable water out of air. The device, called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water
27、 a day.GENNY takes air in and passes through a filter (过滤器) to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work with high air pollution. The air is directed through GENius, a heating and cooling process which causes water in the air to condense (凝结). This water is then passed through seve
28、ral more filters and minerals are added to improve the flavor of the water. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh. Therefore, the water produced by GENNY is often of a higher quality than water running through filtration systems attached to the ci
29、tys water lines.The technology of GENius is much better than other technologies that generate water from air. It produces four to five times more water per kilowatt-hour. Watergen has other products that use this same technology on a larger scale, the largest of which can produce up to 5,000 liters
30、of water per day.As an added bonus, during the water generation process, GENNY can emit clean air which is healthier for people to breathe.At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. The award series recognize the worlds top high-tech home
31、 products. Last year, Watergens large-scale products were donated to authorities in Brazil, Vietnam and India. They also assisted rescue and recovery efforts during the 2018 California wildfires and provided clean, safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation
32、 caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Watergen also seeks to help protect the environment by reducing waste generated by plastic water bottles. People are called upon to put the water from GEENY into reusable bottles so that plastic ones dont get used and thrown away.28. What does GENNY accomplish
33、by adding minerals to the water?A. It keeps the water fresh. B. It helps kill harmful bacteria. C. It satisfies local water regulations. D. It makes the water taste better. 29. Which of the following can best describe GENius?A. Energy-efficient. B. Cost-saving.C. Time-saving. D. Environment-friendly
34、.30. What does the underlined word “emit in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Cut down. B. Blow away.C. Give off. D. Use up.31. What can Watergen do using its large scale products? A. Consume plastic waste. B. Respond to natural disasters. C. Test water quality globally. D. Relieve drought in some countr
35、ies.DWhen you think of a map, is north on the top or the bottom? Usually, maps are designed with north on top, though when we think about it, theres no logical reason for this bias. After all, there is no up or down in space. So whats wrong with south, east or west being on the top of the map? The a
36、nswer is: nothing at all. In fact, north-up maps only became the norm in the last few hundred years. Ancient Egyptian maps had south at the top because the Nile River flows downhill from mountains in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north. Mecca was to the south of most early Muslim civiliz
37、ations, and south-up maps were designed so that viewers would look up to see Mecca. Medieval Christian maps had east at the top, as they believed the Garden of Eden was in the east. The only early maps that had north at the top were those of early China because the emperor lived in the north.North s
38、eems to have settled at the top of maps during the 16th century, largely thanks to a Flemish mapmaker, Mercator. Mercator was a great admirer of an early Greek mapmaker, who, for reasons now unknown, put north at the top of maps, so Mercator did, too. When Mercators world map became the standard map
39、 to navigate the oceans, north up became standard as well.What is the implication of this north-view of the world? Psychologically, people tend to think of up as good and down as bad. Just think of words and phrases like “upmarket”, “upbeat” and “moving up in the world”, and how they contrast with t
40、heir opposites. Because north is so consistently put at the top of maps, people now think of north as good, too.Several attempts have been made in recent years by introducing south-up maps to the market. These maps not only give us a chance to see the world differently, but also give everyone the ch
41、ance to see themselves on top.32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. North-up maps were rare in ancient times. B. Deciding up or down in space is ridiculous.C. Mecca maps were based on a legend.D. The south-up map first appeared in ancient Egypt. 33. Why is north associated with good
42、?A. An illogical reason.B. The spread of Mercators maps.C. Peoples preference for up.D. An age-old tradition in Greece. 34. What is the authors attitude to south-up maps?A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.35. Whats the main purpose of the text?A. To explain a phenomenon.B. To c
43、ompare various facts.C. To correct a cultural bias.D. To argue for a viewpoint.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。A sit-spot routine is a practice that naturalists use to learn more about the world around them.

And if you arent vi
45、siting it regularly, you cant tap into all those healthful benefits. 37 Most locations you choose will have at least a handful of birds hanging around if not more wildlife to watch. 38 This helps tune yourself in to more than just the scenery around you but also the fact that youre part of a larger

It needs to have some animal activity.C. Notice how theyre using the landscape.D. But in this loneliness, you probably feel safe.E. Its
