I got to talk with one of the guys in line, Albert. He was tall and skinny with bright blue eyes, a weathered (饱经风霜的) face and a warm smile. He said he liked the candy cane (拐杖糖) socks my wife gave me. “Want to see mine?” he asked, lifting his leg. He was barefoot (光脚的). He said he had been meaning to pick up a pair but hadnt gotten around to it. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. The next day, after work, I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks - about $100 (669 yuan) worth nothing fancy, just white cotton mens socks. I stuffed my trunk (汽车的行李箱) with them. That next morning, I set my alarm for 5 am and drove over to Santa Monicas Palisades Park, which is a common destination (目的地) for homeless people. I took one of the bags from my trunk. It was still dark out. I headed for a group of three men, standing around a tree, probably using it as a windbreaker (风衣). Two were asleep under heavy blankets, and the third was digging through his shopping cart. As I walked toward him, he watched me, perhaps questioning my motives (动机). “I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,” I told him, handing him a pair. He looked confused at first but took them and said, “Thank you.” I gave him two more pairs for his buddies. I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks. Most people were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they would wake up they would find a very meaningful present. That was nine years ago. Every week Ill hand out as many socks as I can. Some of the regulars call me “the sock guy”. If Im on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week, I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries. Its addictive, I suppose. Its incredibly satisfying to operate (行事) “under the radar” to help make some peoples lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days, but even if I dont, I like to think one of the pairs will find him.21. According to the text, the conversation between the author and Albert in the first paragraph _. A. showed that Albert wanted to wear fancy socks B. made the author feel ashamed of being rich C. let the author make up his mind to help homeless people D. gave the author the idea to buy socks for the homeless22. Which of the following statements is true EXCEPT _. A. The author was often questioned about why he was giving out socks B. The author performed his act of kindness, feeling as if he were a Santa C. The author believed that socks were very useful for poor people D. The author went to Santa Monicas Palisades Park because he could find homeless people easily23. The phrase “under the radar” in the last paragraph probably means “_”. A. cheerfully B. unnoticeably C. confidently D. strangely24. The author wrote this text mainly to _. A. give suggestions on volunteering B. describe the hard lives of the homeless C. share his experience and show that it feels good to help others D. share his concerns about the increasing number of homeless people BIt was a discovery that could change science. “We hit the jackpot (头奖) here,” said British scientist Guillem Anglada-Escude about the discovery of a planet “more or less” like Earth that is orbiting (绕运行) Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar (太阳的) system. What do we know about this exciting new Earth? Well, Proxima b, or “Earth II” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its years only take 11 days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf (矮小的) star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect. There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote in an article: “First, as reporter Lois Lane asked Superman in the first movie, do you eat? Do you have poetry (诗歌)? Superheroes? Television? Diets? Mean bosses? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list.” The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the US space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes (探测器), sent up into space in 1972 and the next year. Included with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams (图表) of the solar system. Gold records were also sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens on Proxima b had played the record, they would have found sounds and images (图像) that showed the incredible diversity (多样性) of Earth. Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter: “This is a present from a small distant world our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (星际) civilizations (文明). This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in an awesome (绝妙的) universe.” It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet even if it has an atmosphere as first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900 km/h). “Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet,” the Chicago Tribune wrote.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Proxima b?A. The sky of Proxima b turns orange at sunset.B. Proxima b has an atmosphere like the Earths.C. Proxima b is bigger and closer to the sun than Earth.D. It is a newly discovered star in the solar system.26. The postcards and records were sent up into space on probes to _.A. invite aliens to visit EarthB. find out if there were aliens in spaceC. describe Earth and express friendly feelings to aliens D. show off the incredible diversity of Earth to aliens27. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. We will be able to settle on Proxima b soon.B. Proxima b is more suitable to live on than Earth.C. Proxima b seems to be an alternative (备选的) living place.D. Earth will get worse and worse in the near future.28. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To report on the discovery of an interesting new planet.B. To give advice on how to visit a new planet.C. To prove that aliens really exist on other planets.D. To show the excitement of moving to a new home in space. COlympic gold medalist Morolake Akinosun walked through the halls of Waubonsie Valley High School in Illinois in the US, surprised at how little had changed at her old high school other than the green color on the walls. “Thats the corner where I used to hang out,” she said, pointing to a spot outside the cafeteria near the doors to the gym. “I heard you cant sit on the floor anymore.” Akinosun won her medal with the 400-meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer. Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what shes learned since running track (参加田径赛) for Waubonsie more than four years ago. Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents. “They see things you cant see,” she said. “In high school I thought I was on the top of the world.” In Akinosuns case, her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois, which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford-Bailey. “I wouldnt be where I am today without my parents,” she said. Her parents saw Buford-Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter, something Akinosun said she didnt understand at the time. It didnt take long, however, for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford-Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there. Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right. Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication. She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete. “I always put track and field first, and then comes school,” Akinosun said. A social life comes last. “Its about sacrifices (牺牲). You cant be on the track team unless youre chosen,” she added. Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing (完成) fully, no matter how she might feel on a given day. “I never missed a training session (环节) in my four years in college,” she said. “Its my job; its what I do. Think about that when you want to sleep in.”29. Akinosuns first piece of advice suggests _.A. she was a big fan of Buford-Bailey in high schoolB. she made up her mind to win Olympic medals in high schoolC. she still doesnt want to admit that her parents helped her a lotD. she is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach30. According to Akinosun, she became a successful athlete because _.A. she had great confidence in herselfB. she always put training before anything elseC. she was pushed by her coach to train hardD. she could keep a good balance between school and training31. The underlined word “dedication” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _.A. a strong desire B. knowing oneself C. a clear purpose D. committing fully32. If asked to make a newspaper, which part will you put the article in?A. FashionB. Celebrities C. Science D. Events DWhen The New Republic magazine predicted (预测) who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said: “Not Bob Dylan. Thats for sure.” But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions (诗意化表达) within the great American song tradition”, according to the organization. Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary (文学的) writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk (民谣) songs. In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal (吸引力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “werent serious enough or didnt reflect (反映) life in a realistic way”, according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness, more joy much deeper feelings”. Dylans music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylans The Times They Are a-Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or youll sink like a stone/For the times they are a-changin!” There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments and its the same way with Dylan”, the Swedish Academys permanent (常务的) secretary Sara Danius told CNN. It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylans words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.33. Dylan found folk music attractive because _.A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper level C. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music34. According to the article, Dylan was the one _.A. who never thought that he would win the Nobel PrizeB. most of whose influential works were created in the 1960sC. whose songs expressed peoples feelings well during the 1960sD. whose fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements35.The last two paragraphs tell us _.A. lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylans works were inspired (启发) by Greek poetsD. Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many songwriters36. Whats the authors attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. supportive B. objective (客观的) C. doubtful D. negative (否定的)第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 What if Iron Man was real, and he could put on his suit and be ready to save the world at any time? 37. _ Well, kind of.
