The Exumas, BahamasBLast year, my mother brought out an old college-ruled notebook: one of the journals in which she has kept a record of all the dinner parties she has hosted since 1976. I have a similar journal. But I am a writer, and she is a chemist. Mine features descriptions and feelings about the dinners Ive hosted, while hers reads like laboratory notes- just the meal plan and who was invited.“Salmon mousse(慕斯),” she announced, reading the first entry. “My God, I must have made that a hundred times. Do you remember them?” I did not. But I did remember that salmon mousse.Old friends came and went in her journal. New favorites joined the menu. My husbands name first shows up in 1997, along with a meal of just hors doeuvres because he loved it. My sister-in-laws name arrived in xx, and with it, all shellfish disappeared from family menus- she would get sick after eating it. There is my mothers partner, Ruth, who appeared in 1991, signaling almost five years of vegetarian(素食主义者) dishes before she gave in to my mothers ham. And there is my farther, who, despite being her ex-husband, appeared every year after their divorce.While my mother has always written in her journal before a dinner party, I write in mine afterward. In my mothers books, everything is clear. Hers passes from early motherhood through divorce and the deaths of friends without a break. I see her journals and am envious: By 45, I should practice with old favorites. I should have a salmon mousse.And so I am putting this decision into practice at a dinner party for writer friends. The menu is already written in my book. To start, a favorite of mine has already been cured in the fridge: salmon gravlax. And for this I must apologize to my mother: It is as close as I can get. I love you; I do. But I have always hated that salmon mousse.24.What can we know from Paragraph 3?A. The writers husband is a vegetarian.B. The writers sister-in-law is allergic to shellfish.C.

Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease.But a new report predicts the worlds population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based on the most modern statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including death rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving across borders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africa s population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 82 years.John is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the past，researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread. But he says those ideas were wrong.“The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly- more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.” The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington.The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin to decline. The researchers also believe that North America, Europe，Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion.John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected.“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years，certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.”28. Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century?A. Asia. B. Africa. C. Europe. D. North America29. “Contraception use” in the fourth paragraph refers to “_”. A. a method of expert predictionsB. a way of avoiding growth in population C. a joint research into the rising population D. a potential technology for food production30. Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John?A. Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen.B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected.C. The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected.D. The increase in food production is faster than that of population.31. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The worlds population will increase constantly.B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050. C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population.D. Population growth in Africa was much slower than expected.DWe all have our own tricks to cheer up when were feeling down; these little tricks can make you feel a little bit happier every day. While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse（配偶） purchased together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.The report, called Places That Make Us, was conducted by National Trusts and Surrey Universitys researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）（磁共振成像）scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.“Working with leading researchers and academics, and using cutting-edge MRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they bee special, and why we feel a pull towards them,” explained Nino Strachey, head for the National Trust.The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, rather than the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The research made discoveries that had never known before the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the research, saying, For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before.32. How was the research conducted?A. By performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers.B. By measuring the participants brainby MRI.C. By doing rough interviewswiththeparticipants. D. By showing meaningful objectsto the participants.33. How would the author feel about the findings of the study?A.It is pioneering.B.It is groundless.C.It is imperfect. D.It is unmon.34. What does the underlined phrase weighed in on mean?A. Think highly of. B. Look down on.C. Pay attention to. D. Make fun of.35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Everyone has his way to be happy. B. Valuable places can make people happy. C. Teddy bears are best memories for children. D. Meaningful objects lead to greater well-being.第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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2项为多余选项。注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。Protecting your eyesight is one of the most important things you can do to help maintain your quality of life. _36_ Consider these simple guidelines:Protect your eyes from harmful UV（紫外线的）light.
