　　A

　　Uber

　　Uber is available in over 70 cities throughout 40 countries worldwide. You can either choose a typical Uber unmarked car or a regular taxi. The app can show you where drivers are, so you know how long you’ll be waiting. You can also get fare quotes (报价) in advance. Your payment source is linked to the app and is automatically charged so no physical money is ever needed.

　　Lyft

　　Lyft is a service that is also available in many large cities in the US. However, it offers something different, one of which is Lyft Line. With this service, you can find people that take the same route on a daily basis as you and split the fare with them. Lyft’s regular service lets you easily see where rides are, catch one, and easily pay right within the app.

　　Easy Taxi

　　Easy Taxi is available in 86 cities across 26 countries and lets you quickly scrub through maps and find locations you’d like to be picked up at. From there, just make sure there are taxis in your area. Confirm your ride and then pay for it within the Easy Taxi app. Once you book a ride, you should see the taxi’s plate number and phone number appear on the map, making it easy for you to pick out both the car and the driver.$

　　Curb

　　Curb, formerly Taxi Magic, is currently available in around 60 cities across the United States as well as select cities in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico. It ties in with taxi companies and their drivers. As your taxi makes its way to your location, you’ll be able to track its progress inside the app. You can link a payment account to Curb to pay your fare through the app. You can also pay in cash.

　　I had been following the yellowish-green markers for a “popular and easy” three-mile out-and-back hike (远足). Immediately after the trailhead, the trail (小径) became very rocky and steep. But having read about the hike, I knew within five minutes, I was supposed to reach the hike’s first overlook.

　　However, the overlook never arrived. Instead, I found myself lost in the woods. Pulling out my cellphone, I saw it read “no service”. I checked the last text message I’d sent to my mom. It read: “Conference ended ... going for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon.” I put my phone away and kept moving and yelling: “Help! Is anybody out there?” Every so often, I’d stop to listen, but I never heard a reply.

　　I got out my phone again. The battery was running out fast as it searched for a signal. I struggled to find a place where I could get service. When I did, I called my mom. It went through! In a shaky voice, I said, “Mom?” and then the call dropped. More than 1,500 miles away, my mom instantly knew something was wrong. She called the Denver Police Department and was directed to the US Forest Service.

　　This was how I was introduced to John, an operator from the US Forest Service. Following John’s instruction on the phone, I finally escaped from the woods. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then my phone rang, and it was John, making sure I was still going in the right direction. “By the way,” he said, “we’ve had your mother on hold this whole time. So once you get down the mountain, you will absolutely want to give her a call.”

　　24. What did the author do while finding the trail rocky and steep?

　　A. He yelled for help.

　　B. He continued walking.

　　C. He returned to the start.

　　D. He found the first overlook.

　　25. When did the author tell his mom about the hiking?

　　A. After he got lost.

　　B. After John’s call.

　　C. After a conference.

　　D. After the call dropped.

　　26. How did the author’s mom know he was in danger?

　　A. The author called and told her about it.

　　B. The author’s flight didn’t arrive on time.

　　C. She learned it from the US Forest Service.

　　D. She sensed something unusual on the phone.

　　27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A. John came to the woods for the author.

　　B. The author’s mom was on line waiting.

　　C. John lost touch with the author’s mom.

　　D. The author went in the wrong direction.

　　C

　　The fact that ants are fascinating insects has been known for some time. Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no apparent source of food.

　　Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013. They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse’s vertical air pipe. As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse. This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.

　　In July 2017, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫), empty cocoons (茧), and queens. They found nothing, leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non-reproductive female workers. Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole. The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired. It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.

　　Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions. In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation — a classic example of “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

　　28. How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?

　　A. They fell down there by accident.

　　B. The research team brought them there.

　　C. The storehouse builders left them there.

　　D. They were attracted by the environment.

　　29. What does the underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

　　A. melted.

　　B. rotted.

　　C. exploded.

　　D. expanded.

　　30. What did the researchers find in the nest?

　　A. Larvae.

　　B. Cocoons.

　　C. A queen.

　　D. Worker ants.

　　31. Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?

　　A. They had enough food.

　　B. They were able to reproduce.

　　C. They adapted to the conditions.

　　D. They had new comers to join them.

　　D

　　Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.

　　One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird,” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.

　　Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.

　　“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.

　　So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.

　　32. How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?

　　A. By putting up posters on the tube.

　　B. By advocating his idea on the media.

　　C. By offering passengers special badges.

　　D. By starting a dialogue with passengers.

　　33. How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?

　　A. It has caught international attention.

　　B. It has become a worldwide campaign.

　　C. Most passengers have refused to accept it.

　　D. Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.

　　34. According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?

　　A. Hand in their feedback in time.

　　B. Walk up and talk to strangers.

　　C. Stop using public transport.

　　D. Enjoy the peace quietly.

　　35. What can be the best title for the text?

　　A. Tube Chat or Not

　　B. Lonely Travel in London Tube

　　C. Silence on the Tube

　　D. Tube Passengers Wearing Badges

　　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。Every living thing has genes. Genes carry information. 36.________

　　They make sure that humans give birth to humans and cows give birth to cows. However, genetic engineers take genes from one species— for example, a snake, and transfer them to another — for example, corn. 37.________ Such new life forms have been described, by some scientists as a real-life Frankenstein.

　　Genetic engineers put duck genes into chicken to make the chickens bigger. They put hormones(激素) into cows to make them produce more milk. They put genes from flowers into beans and from fish into tomatoes.

　　38.________

　　It just makes them easier and faster for the farmer to grow.

　　The effects of genetic engineering on the natural world may be disastrous. The engineers may create strange life beings or monsters that we cannot control. 39.________ They’ll have to find one, fight for one, or kill for one. It may be your land they fight for, or you that they kill. Moreover, the effects of these experiments can often be cruel. In America, pigs were given human genes to make them bigger and less fatty. The experiment failed. The pigs became very ill and began to lose their eyesight.

　　We would all like a better, healthier and longer life, and genetic engineering might give us this. On the other hand, it may be a dangerous experiment with nature. In the story of Frankenstein, the doctor created such a terrible and dangerous monster that he had to destroy it. 40.________

　　The information tells us what to do or what not to do.

　　We must make sure that this tale remains a story —— and no more than that.

　　This doesn’t make them cheaper, tastier, or healthier.

　　The new life forms have no natural habitat or home.

　　Then they feed the tomatoes to the fish.

　　In this way, a new life form is created.

　　They are passed on from generation to generation.

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　When someone has 61.________ (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible --- and it can be surprisingly 62.________ (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research

　　63__ (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 64.________ (little) anger and more hopefulness.” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 65.________ (feel) more energetic.”

　　So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something

　　66 _____gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an 67.________ (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 68.________ same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”

　　Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 69.________ (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance.
