Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. “Heavens, no! Youll hurt yourself!” the response was just as Id expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfathers loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself. ” “Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old wallsand had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. Ill never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, theres only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “Theres only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”24. The writer enjoyed his visits to the farm because _.A. there were old stone wallsB. it was an exciting place for himC. he liked his grandfatherD. he was allowed to climb the stone walls25. Hearing the writers idea to climb the stone walls, _.A. all the adults were shockedB. his parents agreedC. none of the adults respondedD. his grandfather backed him up26. We can describe the writer as _.A. adventurousB. reliableC. smartD. considerate27. What is probably the best title for the text?A. An Unforgettable ExperienceB. Do Whatever You LikeC. Just Be YourselfD. Remain AdventurousCPetrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been range anxiety drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organisations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the studys findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.28.Which is the best title for this passage?A. My Dream CarB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol CarsD. Driving into the Future29.As used in Paragraph 2, the underlined word “hurdle” means _.A. aimB. barrierC. consequenceD. step30.In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?A. They were not good value.B. They were very poorly made.C. They were not widely promoted.D. They couldnt travel at a high speed.31.What is the function of Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.DBlue Planet IIs latest episode（剧集）focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastics.Though it seems now that the world couldnt possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers(否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we dont know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bagtaken collectively, really do make a difference.32. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldnt possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.33.The writer gives many numbers in Paragraph 3 to _.A. prove the threat of plastic to marine lifeB. explain reasons for plastic pollutionC. describe his own experiences and feelings D. compare the differences between sea creatures34. What can we infer about climate change?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Some people cast some doubts about climate change.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.35. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Plastic is a global issue arousing wide concern.B. The oceans have been seriously polluted by plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，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Little Habits Make a Big DifferenceEverything around us is changing at amazing speed, it seems-but some things will always remain the same. 36 Some of our daily habits have the power to always give us happiness and lead toward success.
