15、xcited marathoners. He took a seat next to a fellow runner and began chatting. Before long, LaPierre noticed a man who seemed to be homeless moving from passenger to passenger, asking for spare change. That struck LaPierre as “really uncommon,” especially the way he stared down anyone he felt hadnt
16、given him enough. At the Cumberland station, several stops before the one for the marathon, most of the passengers suddenly escaped from the car. LaPierre, surprised, rushed out to see what was going on, only to hear frightened people shouting that the man asking for money was, in fact, armed and ro
17、bbing（抢劫）people. Just then, the armed man himself exited the train car and went to the next one. LaPierre followed him. “I could not walk away knowing there were children and people just trying to get to a race,” he says. The man was standing in the middle of the car when he turned and saw LaPierre,
18、 his head down, bull-rushing him. The two men fought for the gunand their lives. “You dont move!” LaPierre shouted, pressing the armed man against a door. The man tried pushing him, but LaPierre pushed him back against the door, grabbing（夺取）the gun and handing it to a passenger, who quickly walked o
19、ff the train with it. But LaPierre wasnt in the clear. The man had partners who now surrounded LaPierre and began to threaten him. Then the police entered the car, and LaPierre let them take over. This was not the first time LaPierre had jumped to the rescue. In 2015, he helped rescue a one-year-old
20、 and his mother from a car accident. Last summer, he volunteered to search for a snake that went missing from a backyard cage（笼子）in Newton.

23、we like information to be presented these days: graphically（以书画形式）and in small chunks. We are used to cartoons and comic strips（连环漫画）that take a humorous look at modern life or provide a bit of escapism. But recently we have seen an increase in the number of graphic novels: book-length comics with a
24、 single, continuous narrative. Historically, graphic novels were not popular outside France, Belgium, Japan, and the US. The exception is the worldwide popularity of a young reporter-detective from Belgium, Tintin. The creation of the Belgian cartoonist Herg, The Adventures of Tintin first appeared
25、in a Belgian newspaper in 1929. Each story appeared as a cartoon strip week by week, but soon after was republished in book form. The main attraction for readers was that they were taken to parts of the world they had never seen and probably never would: Russia, the Congo and America. Herg himself o
26、nly traveled outside Belgium later in life, but his passion was educating his readers about other cultures and places. Two things set Herg apart as a graphic novelist. The first was his technical drawing skills: with just a few simple lines he could communicate a particular facial expression or move
27、ment. The second was the careful research he put into his stories. In The Crab with the Golden Claws, Tintin follows a smuggling ring to North Africa; in King Ottokars Sceptre, he stops an attempt at a military（军事的）takeover in a central European country. While telling these stories, Herg also drew a
28、 fine line between serious topics and humor. Tintin had more than his fair share of adventures, but perhaps the greatest is his journey to the Moon, told in Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon. Written in 1953, sixteen years before the first Moon landing, the stories show an extraordinary eye
29、 for technical detail and feeling for the nature of space travel. In the early 1950s, few could imagine what it was like to be looking down at our planet from outer space. And that is Hergs true gift: to understand what a place was like without ever having been there.28What is public opinion about c
30、artoons these days?AThey are a good medium for readers today.BThey are less popular than graphic novels.CThey are not well-received in Belgium.DThey are a type of graphic novels.29Why did readers like Hergs stories?AThey showed readers different worlds.BThey were created by a famous cartoonist.CThey
31、 described the normal life in Belgium.DThey were based on Hergs real adventures.30One reason that Herg was special among other graphic novelists is _.Ahis serious topics Bhis humorous styleChis lively drawings Dhis rich experience31What do we know about Explorers on the Moon?AIt tells about the firs
32、t Moon landing.BIt is based on the authors imagination.CIt changes peoples views about the Moon.DIt encourages readers to learn about space.D In a crowded room at Cultivate 14, Garry Grueber of Cultivaris and Global Breadfruit started to blow the minds of everyone in his audience when he discussed w
33、hat the future of horticulture（园艺）may look like in 30 years. Over the next 20 to 30 years, Grueber said, the horticulture industry will need to address such issues as population growth, feeding a hungry world, less availability of water and land resources, climate change and increased focus on the e
34、nvironment. In 2014, the Earths population was 7.2 billion, but at a growth rate of 75 million per year, the population is set to level off at around 9 to 10 billion in 40 to 50 years. Water shortage may be extremely bad for horticulture and agriculture, and climate change will continue to produce m
35、ore extreme weather that will have an enormous effect on the industry, he said. Biodiversity（生物多样性）is also becoming a challenge, as wild plant and animal species are disappearing faster than we can discover new ones, Grueber said. Twenty percent of all plant and animal species are on track to be ext
36、inct by 2030, and 50 percent by the end of the century. In cities, there is also a guerrilla gardening（游击园艺）movement underway, where people are planting gardens and spreading seeds（种子）in any places available. People are seeing increased value from the green spaces and gardens they create. In urban a
37、reas, these spaces help bring down the temperature and stop pollutants. Operations like Gotham Greens, which grows produce in rooftop greenhouses, are our future, Grueber said. In London, a vegetable operation is growing produce in an old bomb shelter. Growing in closed buildings is possible with ad
38、vances in technology like LED lighting. Technology like this will allow cities, where previously there were food deserts, to grow their own food. The gardens of the future will be different than traditional gardens. Theyll be water-wise, small, simple and urban, Grueber said. He pointed to examples
39、like the vertical（垂直的）forest in Milan. This method of food production will require less water, be tolerant of climate and city conditions, be likely to fight more diseases and offer year-round beauty.32Why did Gruebers talk blow his audiences minds?AHe explained how to control population growth.BHe
40、talked about horticultures struggling future.CHe showed the best way to feed a hungry world.DHe mentioned horticultures coming to an end soon.33What can we infer from Gruebers prediction about wildlife species?AMany species will show up.BHalf will disappear by 2030.CNew species will be hard to find.
41、DTwenty percent will be lost every year.34What is unique about the guerrilla gardening movement?AIt focuses on improving seeds.BIt encourages rooftop gardens.CIt stresses the importance of city centers.DIt tries to make the best of unused land.35How will future gardens be different from traditional
42、gardens according to Grueber?AThey will be much larger.BThey will require less water.CThey will be in buildings with small rooms.DThey will appear mostly in the countryside.第二节阅读下面短文，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。 With all the talk about smart technology and connected homes, you may be wonderin
43、g why you should take notice. 36 According to the American Lighting Association (ALA), smart technology is not just about convenience. It is not even just about lighting. It is also about efficiency and safety.Efficiency Smart technology allows you to connect your homes electronic devices（设备）to one
44、device, such as a phone, tablet or computer. Having a connected home means you have the ability to adjust your thermostat（恒温器）, open and close window shades and activate your security system remotely. 37 Convenience 38 For example, for a movie night, a system like Lutrons Caseta Wireless can be prep
45、rogrammed to adjust all the lights in your family room to set the scene for a great movie-watching experience. If fixing and operating smart technology equipment sounds difficult and expensive, its not. According to the ALA, there are simple and surprisingly inexpensive choices available on todays m

50、Hayley Hesseln earned her nickname “The Raccoon（浣熊）Lady” in 2013. For the past seven years, Hesseln has spent her summers 41 , playing with and cleaning up after raccoon kits, usually in their first few weeks of life. Her 42 is called Bandit Ranch Rehab, which is based out of her two-storey home. Bu
51、t if anyone were to take a 43 look at her backyard, theyd see that three cages the size of SUVs have 44 what was once a beautiful garden. Before the raccoons can move into the 45 , however, the tiny creatures must be bottle-fed up for several weeks. “A lot of people just want to hug a raccoon,” she
52、says. “Im not 46 a petting zoo. These animals are wild and they will 47 to the wild.” Still, Hesseln has to 48 herself not to get attached; taking on volunteers helps provide distance. After three months with Hesseln, the raccoons are 49 from the backyard cages to an escape-proof pen（围栏）outside the
53、city. There, humans come 50 when water is changed and food refreshed. Raccoons are dangerous and can be 51 , so farmers are likely to shoot them. Hesseln suggests the 52 contact（联系）her to find ways to get the creatures to move along. Over the years, Hesseln has 53 more than 200 raccoons. The best 54

61、节阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Ted pressed his nose against the store window that stood between him and a metallic-blue 21-speed racer. “Look at that bike, Sam! I want that bike!” “Get away from there before Mr. Huan makes you clean the drool（口水）from his store window!” His friend Sam laughed
62、 and pulled Ted away. “Well, my birthdays tomorrow, and Ive been dropping a lot of hints at home, like the ads and pictures of the bike. Ive just got to have it so I can go anywhere I want!” “Your dads out of work,” Sam said quietly, “and I bet that bikes awfully expensive. But dont be sad; you can
63、ride my bike around the lake if you want.” Ted didnt answer. “Yeah,” he thought, “but you only turn 13 once. Mom and Dad always promised me something special when I became a teenager.” He jumped on a hydrant（消防栓）and balanced a moment before jumping down again. “Hell find a job soon.” When he got hom
64、e, his parents were in the kitchen talking. Ted hugged them and went to the living room. Flopping down on the couch, he dug between the cushions for the remote. As he flipped through TV stations, he caught snatches（片段）of his parents conversation. There were words like “overqualified” and “mortgage”
65、and something about unemployment checks. Ted felt upset and turned the volume higher. The next morning, Teds father woke him. “Hey, Son, Mom had to go to work early, so Ill be making your birthday breakfast. Do you want anything special? Maybe something with wheels?” Ted was suddenly wide awake. He
66、threw back the covers and bounded（蹦着跑）into the kitchen. There, wrapped in newspaper and tied with a crooked bow, was a bicycle-shaped package. “Dad!” Ted tore through the newspaper, and then suddenly stopped and stared. There stood not the shiny racing bike but a secondhand 10-speed. The chrome had been shined up, and the frame was freshly painted, but it was not new.注意：1续写词数应为150左右；2请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 It was not what he had hoped for. _ Suddenly, he was ashamed of himself. _
