Earlier that evening I received a call from Missouri telling me that my brothers family had been killed in a car accident. “e as soon as you can,” begged my mother. My husband Larry phoned a few friends to tell them what had happened. Occasionally, someone asked to speak to me. If theres anything I can do, please let me know, that person would offer kindly. “Thank you. Thank you very much,” Id reply. But I didnt know what to ask for. I was too confused to concentrate. Then the doorbell rang. I opened the door to see Emerson King standing on the doorway.“Ive e to clean your shoes,” he said, “I remember when my father died, it took me hours to get the childrens shoes cleaned for the funeral. Give me all your shoes.”While I cleared the supper dishes, Emerson continued to work, saying nothing.Later, when I started to pack, I saw all our shoes stood in a line, shining, spotless and that even the bottoms had been brushed. I could put the shoes directly into the suitcases, knowing they wouldnt dirty the clothes. We got to bed late and rose very early, but by the time we left for the airport, all the jobs were done. Now, whenever I hear of an acquaintance who has lost a loved one, I no longer call with the blurred (模糊的) offer, “If theres anything I can do.” Now I try to think of one specific task that suits that persons need such as washing the family car, taking care of the dog, or house-sitting during the funeral. And if the person says to me, “How did you know I needed that done?” I reply, “Its because a man once cleaned my shoes.”21. Why did Emerson King choose to clean the shoes for the author?A. He had long been skilled at doing so. B. There were many dirty shoes in her home. C. He knew what to do from his own experience. D. It is mon practice to do before a funeral. 22. Which of the following can best describe Emerson King?A. helpful and considerate B. neat and careful C. honest and thoughtful D. hard-working and determined23. Which of the following proverbs can be used to best represent the story?A. Blood is thicker than water. B. A good neighbor is better than a brother far away. C. A faithful friend is hard to find. D. Action speaks louder than words. B Researchers at Intel Security carried out a study of 1,000 parents in the UK that made up part of the research. More than 40 percent said they were pletely unaware of their childrens activity online “Technology has revolutionized our home lives, with many parents relying on devices (设备) to help their children with learning and entertainment.” said Nick Viney, VP of Consumer at Intel Security. “However, we need to enable parents to actively manage how their families interact with those devices to ensure the benefits continue to outweigh the potential risks.”As one of the worlds largest and highest valued semiconductor chip makers, Intel is urging parents to follow their series of tips if they are worded about what their kids might be up to on the Internet.Start conversations early: If you start talking about online safety early, it will make your job that much easier when your children get older. If your kids are young, start with simple rules like: “dont open emails from people you dont know.” You want online safety to be part of normal behavior.Set a good example: Set a positive example by limiting your time on social networks when at home and putting your phone away during dinner and family time.Keep strangers out: Most children have been using devices from an early age, desensitizing them to the potential risks of online behavior. A false sense of security can set in for children and they could be unknowingly interacting with a dangerous person posing as a teen. This isnt just on social media networks; it applies to mon services such as Uber, Lyft and Craigslist. Remind kids that anyone can create a profile and to decline friend requests from strangers. Take control of your home network: The home network is the center for all of your connected devices. New solutions, such as McAfee Secure Home Platform, help you easily manage and protect devices connected to this network while providing parental controls with permissions that can be tailored to the entire household.24. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Intel provided ways to monitor childrens online activity.B. Intel announced new policies about semiconductor chip.C. A research on online safety was done among UK parents.D. Some effective ways to use smart devices at home.25. What can we infer from Nick Vineys words in paragraph 2?A. Its not necessary for Intel to carry out the study.B. Technology has brought a bad effect on childrens learning.C. Online security should be ensured by the Intel.D. The devices can be more beneficial than dangerous if used properly.26. What does the underlined part “desensitizing them to” mean according to the passage?A. Making them more aware of. B. Making them more concerned about.C. Making them less sensitive to. D. Making them easily understand. 27. What should parents do according to Intels tips?A. Make full use of social networks to do business even at home.B. Talk with their children about online safety as early as possible.C. Allow their children to make friends with anyone on the Internet.D. Keep the devices connected to the network all the time. CEven the dirt on the ground is likely makingclimate changeworse, a new study finds.Researchers have shown that warmer temperatures are heating the soil, which is causing microbes (微生物) to bee more active and release more of the soils carbon into the atmosphere.Ben Bond-Lamberty of the Joint Global Change Research Institute is the leadauthorof the study. Hesays, “These soil changes can potentially contribute to even higher temperatures.”The findings were published on August 2 in the journalNature.Scientists studied device readings, soil measurements, plant growth details and satellite observations from around the world. Their work is the most plete study yet on the subject.They found a sharp increase in carbon released into the atmosphere by bacteria andfungi (真菌)in soilfrom 1990 through 2014. Researchers explain that the carbon es from the dead plants and leaves the microbes eat. As temperatures rise, the microbes eat more. And the more they eat, the more carbon they make intocarbon dioxideand release into the atmosphere.This uncontrolledcyclespeeds up and intensifies climate change, says Jerry Melilo of Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts. Melilo was not part of the study.Overall, soil releases about nine times more carbon than human-caused activities. But that is part of a natural cycle: The amount of carbon released into the air is about equal to the carbon oceans and plants take in.However, carbon released from fossil fuel causes an imbalance. Burning coal, oil and natural gas puts more carbon into the atmosphere than nature can take out. The additional carbon heats the air and soil. And as the air and soil get hotter, the earth will release yet more carbon than it has been holding.“If something isnt done, we are really in trouble,” said Rattan Lal of Ohio State University. He added that proper soil conservation can help keep more carbon in soil. Conservation methods include avoidingturning the soil, covering off-season crops and leaving crop deposits on the ground.28. Whats the right order of the uncontrolled cycle?even higher temperatures are causedmicrobes bee more activemicrobes release more of the soils carbon into the atmospherewarm temperatures heat the soilA. B. C. D. 29. What can we learn from the text?A. Carbon released from fossil fuel contributes to a balanceB. The amount of carbon released into the air is always equal.C. Scientists have done the most thorough research so far on the subject.D. Ben Bond-Lamberty and Rattan Lal are members of the study.30. What does the underlined word “intensifies” in paragraph6 mean?A. affects B. causes C. releases D. fuels31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Warmer soil releasing more carbon B. High temperatures heating the soilC. The earth being much warmer D. Microbes making climate change worseDYoull probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these thingsand many morewithout even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, its long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out plex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or superputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary puter experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary puter uses things like a keyboard, a mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative reality to the point of ignoring their realworld livesbut that criticism has been leveled on everything from radio and TV to puter games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you dont have to use it if you dont want to.32. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?A. A headset, data gloves and a superputer. B. A headset, data gloves and speech recognition.C. A keyboard, a headset and a superputer.D. A keyboard, a mouse and speech recognition.33. Paragraph 3 is mainly about_.A. the principles of virtual reality B. the history of virtual realityC. the applications of virtual reality D. the influences of virtual reality34. According to the passage, virtual reality means_.A. imagining beautiful things in our mind B. experiencing things that dont really exist C. creating something that doesnt exist D. cloning something that has died out35. What is the writers attitude towards VR?A. Indifferent B. Cautious C. Skeptical D. Appreciative 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。Trips Sum up USYou drive down the highway with your family or friends in the car, camping equipment and spare clothes in the back.
