And its not had to see why. But while it doesnt require any great historical knowledge to be enjoyed, there are a couple of things the reader should bear in mind.The books title, The Underground Railroad, is also the name for the people-some black, some white-who ran the network of secret routes and safe houses, through which slaves in America were helped to freedom.The very beginning setting of the story is a slave plantation in Georgia, in the south of the US. It is a horrific place, and every slave there wants to escape. Only a few of those who try succeed.One such is Cora, taken by slavers from West Africa. To get to her freedom in Indiana, Cora has to escape from a long list of dangerous people. Her escape gets the attention of notorious(臭名昭著的)slave catcher Ridgeway, who not only wants to take her back but destroys the underground railroad at the same time.The basic structure of The Underground Railroad comes from the classic “slave narrative”accounts written by former slaves of their struggle to free themselves.But although the terrible lives of the slaves are described very believably, The Underground Railroad is nota realistic novel that sticks to the facts. The story makes great use of Whiteheads imagination. While the “Underground Railroad” is a metaphor（暗喻）. Whitehead makes it an actual railway. The train travels through wormhole-style black tunnels-like something out of science fiction-taking Cora to different realities within the US.The reader does not expect this, because stories about slaves very rarely depart from the truth. Btu however inventive he allows himself to be, The Underground Railroad remains a story of slavery and an attempt to understand this awful thing whose impact is still felt in the US today.24. The underlined word “horrific” can be replaced by .A. fearful B. peaceful C. marvelousD. mysterious25. The slaves want to escape into .A. GeorgiaB. IndianaC. the west of AfricaD. the south of the USA26. What is “slave narrative” according to the passage?A. The former slavers sufferings recorded by themselves.B. The American slavery system.C. The later generations description about the former slaves life.D. The slaves experiences told by the former government.27. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. It requires much historical knowledge to appreciate the novel.B. The Underground Railroad is entirely based on the facts.C. Slave stories are always far from the truth.D. Slavery has been affecting the US till now.CBritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tons of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated 30 billon worth of unused clothing at the back of the wardrobe. But new technology could see the end of tat, with the garments(衣服) themselves reminding the owners of their existence.“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting（发推文）us if they havent been worn for a good while. If these messages are ignored, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be. Reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation in formation. They could be programmed for a public sale where they are sold to whoever offers the highest price on eBay.Academics at Birmingham, City University are developing the “connected wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged(贴标签), using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill, senior lecturer at the university, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didnt know were in their wardrobe.” “The connected wardrobe is a practical pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,” he added. “Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ownership of clothing. When weve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things”-a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners, “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information, such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.28. What does the author say about “smart clothes”?A. They may be donated on eBay.B. They have gained in popularity.C. They give warnings if worn out.D. They may be recycled if long forgotten.29. How does Mark Brill find the “connected wardrobe”?. It helps people buy clothes at reasonable prices.B. It changes peoples shopping habits.C. It contributes to right consumption attitude.D. It improves shoppers confidence.30. What is suggested in the last paragraph?A. The Internet is a platform to share items.B. Weather affects the connected wardrobe.C. Clothes are sold online at a low price.D. Clothes can be source of information.31. Whats the authors attitude to the new technology?A. Critical.B. Uninterested.C. Approving.D. Skeptical.DScientists studying populations of gray wolves in the USAs Yellowstone National Park have developed a way to predict how changes in the environment will affect the animals number, body size and genetics, amongst other biological features.This study provides a powerful mathematical model to explore the connections between environmental change, changes in population size and recent rapid physical changes, such as the decrease in the number of animals like polar bears and Soay sheep.This study provides a powerful mathematical mode to explore the connections between environmental change, changes in population size and recent rapid physical changes, such as the decrease in the number of animals like polar bears and Soay sheep.“We know that climate change is having an effect o the lives of animal pieces around the world. This is clear through the changes weve seen in their population sizes, as well as their body sizes. However, what has not been so clear is what underlies these changes. This work provides a relatively easy way for biologists to investigate how, and why, environmental change influences both the ecology and near-term evolutionary future of species,” said Professor Tim Coulson, who led the study.The scientists examined 15 years of data about Yellowstone gray wolves biological characteristics and demographics(人口统计数据)across a range of “good” years when wolves boomed, and “poorer” years when they did not. They were then able to investigate how the changing frequency of good and bad years influenced population size genetics, body size and the life history of Yellowstone wolves.Their results showed that the wolf population was more greatly affected by consistent overall changes in the environment than it was by changes in the magnitude(量) of year-to-year fluctuation(波动). Professor Coulson continued: “We now have a way to predict with new detail how populations of many different animals will respond to environmental change, including those animals threatened with extinction. However, we simply dont have enough information about most of these species and their environments to confidently make such predictions. We urgently need more data if we are to understand how the natural world will be affected by continuing climate change.”32. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Scientists study provides a method to find out why polar bears becomes fewer.B. Climate change alone leads to changes in the animals population sizes and body sizes.C. The study is based on data about Gray wolves in the Yellowstone National park.D .The research will save those animals in danger of extinction.33. The word “underlies” in paragraph three can be replaced by .A. prevents B. causesC. reflects D. introduces34. We can learn from the passage that .A. the change in the environment will reduce the number of gray wolves.B. scientists discovered how different animals responded to environmental change.C. information about different species and their environments is very easy to collect.D. scientists will continue their study on gray wolves to get more information.35. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. The relationship between climate change and annals.B. Wolves help predict climate effects on animals.C. Fifteen years hard worka study about gray wolves.D. Uncover the secrets of animates and their environments.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。.Over half of Americans are single, an increase of 13% since 1976, according to a 2017 report.
