More importantly, he had a bag of money in one hand and a gun in the other! Before I could do anything, he ran up the street and disappeared behind a bus. A few minutes later, a lot of policemen arrived and rushed into the bank.I went in and reported what I had seen just minutes ago.That afternoon, I went to the moviesand I saw the young man again at the foot of the stairs！I called the police from a telephone next to the restrooms. The police arrived in less than five minutes. They found the young man just as he was buying a chocolate bar from the candy machine！ What an exciting day! And best of all, the bank gave me a $100 reward.第二部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AHere are some top cities to visit in the world.Cape Town, South AfricaCape Town shines at the southern point of the African continent.

It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet. If you asked my friends about my mother, they would say，“That woman has a heart of gold.” I agree one hundred percent.I think the reason why she is such a wonderful person is that the Holy Spirit lives within her. She is very holy and has persuaded me to go to church with her every Sunday.About six years ago my mom decided to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher. She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time. However, she believed it would pay off. What my mother didnt realize was that not all things pay off in this unfair world. After four hard years of school, she graduated on a warm spring day. It was unbelievable. My aunt drove up from Virginia to celebrate this fantastic day. It was the first time I had ever cried about being happy.Its strange how fast a life can change. Two months later, the unpredictable happened. My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症). I could not believe this could happen after all the good she had done for people. I was very confused and cried every day. My faith in God just disappeared and so did my moms dream of becoming a teacher.Then, I decided I must move on with my life and accept the fact that she might never get better. Since my decision, I have become more mature, responsible and active in school and work. Through the years I have always been able to change negative situations into positive ones. Im happy with my life now.【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了乐观、积极上进的母亲影响作者的故事。24Which of the following can best describe Alice?AHonest. BHelpful.CGreedy.

But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture. While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsidesOrganic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones. To get a certificate as organic, farmers must meet specific criteria, including growing produce without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs. Without these methods, the growing process typically requires more labor, time, and money, a cost that is passed down to consumers.Its true that in many ways, organic farming is more sustainable than conventional farming. But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex. Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre. However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms. While there isnt a whole lot of research on the topic, the few studies that do exist suggest greenhouse gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms, on a per unit basis, says study author Verena Seufert.In addition, while organic produce is likely more nutritious than conventional fruits and vegetables, theres not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health. The same is true for the pesticide remainder. In developed countries, where pesticide use is tightly regulated, theres no scientific consensus on how these often slight differences influence human health.Still, Seufert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic produce, you should do so. Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity. The real takeaway from her study is not that organic produce is bad but that the practice needs more studies to increase the yield without lowering sustainability.But if you cant afford to buy organic produce, dont stress too much, particularly from a nutritional perspective.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了有机农产品的一些情况。28What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?ADangers. BDrawbacks.CBenefits. DDifferences.B解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides”可知，虽然有机农产品可能稍微健康些，但在某些方面，也有其缺点。再结合语境和下文陈述的有机农产品的缺点可以判断，画线词应指有机农产品不好的一面，B项意为“缺点”，故B项正确。29Which key factor makes it hard to compare organic farming with conventional farming when it comes to environmental concerns?AThe yield. BThe price.CThe water loss. DThe labor.A解析：细节理解题。根据题干关键词“hard to compare”定位至第三段第二句“But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex.”可知，当涉及诸如温室气体排放和水资源损失等环境问题时，比较传统农业和有机农业就困难了；且根据第三段其他内容可知，虽然有机农业与传统农业相比更可持续，但因为不能使用基因工程技术、杀虫剂及其他提高效率的方法，有机农业的产量相对低，故产量是使得两者之间的比较变得困难的重要因素。A项意为“产量”，故A项正确。30Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?AFarmers work environment should be improved.BOrganic produce should be made more efficiently.CIt isnt wise for consumers to buy organic products.DThe pesticide remainder do no harm to peoples health.B解析：细节理解题。根据题干关键词“hard to compare”定位至第三段第四句可知，由于禁止使用基因工程技术和杀虫剂等，有机农场的产量估计会比传统农场的产量低19%至25%。据此可以判断，应当提高有机农业的生产效率，故B项正确。第五段的最后一句亦是提示。31In the authors opinion, why should we support organic produce?AIts environmentally friendly.BIts more nutritious.CIt helps keep the variety of plants.DIts safer for consumers.C解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity.”可知，有机农场为工人提供更安全的工作环境，而且有机农场有助于保持生物多样性。据此可以判断，我们应当提倡有机农产品的原因之一是能保持生物的多样性，故C项正确。DThe effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as its harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the ri
