17、 great independence and pride. The kids called him “Poppy”, a name that everybody used.Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy (药房). After Marcias mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jacks invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn abou
18、t not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.And so it was with shock and bewil
19、derment (迷惑) that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at alljust the government cheque and what little
20、 he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boys bicycle.”She became stern with Poppy. “Youre foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled (斥责) back at him.During autumn, Poppy didnt come around as often as he had in th
21、e past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before the holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldnt visit them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas.She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him
22、that he was one of them and that they all loved him. Half an hour before the turkey went on the table on Christmas, Poppy came.

26、he sun. It captures energy from the cold night sky.A prototype (雏形) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It could also power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity. The
27、device makes use of the temperature difference between the Earth and outer space to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transp
28、arent cover and surrounded with insulation (隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. The plate is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator. Researchers tested a 20
29、-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford University, California. The generator produced up to 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of the device. That was enough power to light a small light emitting diode, or a LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at
30、least 500 milliwatts per square meter. The system might need more insulation around the cool top plate to do that. “The device could also help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices,” says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who works on the device at the University of C
31、alifornia, Los Angeles. “This may be useful in polar regions where people cant see sunlight for months.” Raman says. “If you have some low-power devices and you need to power them through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”28. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?A. Appl
32、ication fields of the device. B. Significant effects of the device.C. The working principle of the device.D. The developing process of the device.29. How can researchers make the device produce more electricity? A. By putting more insulation around the top plate. B. By covering the top plate with a
33、transparent lid. C. By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate. D. By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.30. Whats Ramans attitude to the new device?A. Doubtful. B. Ambiguous. C. Negative. D. Hopeful. 31. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. A Device Using the Cold Night Sky t
34、o Produce Electricity. B. The Temperature Difference between the Earth and Outer Space. C. The Differences Between a Solar Panel and a New Device. D. A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night.DA group of scientists in labs spread across Europe, the U.S. and Nepal have been working on Qo
35、molangma “remotely”. The projects goal is to turn the worlds highest mountain into a huge climate laboratory. During April and May last year, a team of more than 30 biologists, glaciologists, geologists, meteorologists, and geographers fanned out across Qomolangmas southern side, conducting fieldwor
36、k high on the mountain. “We believe the best way to get a full scientific picture of Qomolangma is not just to do one kind of science,” says Paul Mayewski of the University of Maine, the leader of the effort. Each individual study promises a unique picture of the mountains climatepast, present, and
37、future. Ice cores (冰核) will allow scientists to go back in timetens, hundreds and perhaps thousands of years to learn about the environment. Snow and water samples give a look at whats happening on the mountain, today, including the future of the glaciers (冰川). The team also fixed a network of autom
38、ated weather stations, which will document upcoming weather trends for years to come. One of the hardest tasks fell to Mayewskis colleague Mariusz Potoeki, who hoped to drill ice cores at several places on the mountain, including the South Col (25,938 feet) and the top of Qomolangma (29,035 feet). T
39、he job required a specially designed drill system powered by batteries, and an excellent team to figure out how to prevent the cores from becoming liquid during their long journey back to the University of Maines laboratory for analysis. Potocki abandoned his summit (山顶) attempt due to the crowds of
40、 normal climbers. To his relief, Potocki succeeded in taking the highest ice core ever recovered, at just above Camp Four26,312 feet above sea level. “The ice doesnt lie.” Mayewski says. “The very idea that the highest part of the planet hasnt been spared from human activity ought to be a real wake-
41、up call for everybody.”32. Which way does Paul Mayewski suggest to fully study Qomolangma? A. Working on it remotely in labs. B. Teaming up with more countries. C. Doing many kinds of science. D. Turning it into a real lab.33. Why does the team analyze ice cores? A. To document upcoming weather chan
42、ge. B. To get a unique picture of climate trends. C. To know more about the past environment. D. To predict the future of the mountain.34. What difficulty did Mariusz Potocki face? A. Improving the special drill system. B. Drilling the oldest ice cores at some places. C. Conducting fieldwork above C
43、amp Four. D. Delivering frozen ice cores to the lab.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Potocki got ice cores at 29,035 feet. B. Human activity has affected Qomolangma. C. Ice cores can serve as a warning for us. D. Normal climbers helped with Potockis work.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，
44、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。How long does a year last? 36. _ Your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?37._ This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and process new information to decline. Babie
45、s, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because theyre processing images at a faster rate. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. 38._ However, as peoples brains degrade over time, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, ol
46、der people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though theyre happening more quickly.39._ People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period. Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts
47、, they seem to be in slow motion (运动)? Thats because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever.For many adults, life is routine. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many novel things to
48、remember. 40. _A. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.B. Different people have different feelings toward time.C. Children might say that a year lasts forever. D. As we grow older, we become less interested in new things.E. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time.F.
49、 In addition, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological reasons.G. According to scientists, our brains degrade and change over time.第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题: 每小题1.5分， 满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A mother and a daughter living in my community are two of
