As we looked out the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away. I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket. How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond? I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf and stuck my feet into very large boots . I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, save for my children. They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, their eyes peeled for any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind.The snow circling around me, I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly. As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasnt some dragon slayer (屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom, but the look on my childrens faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.24.

CFor those concerned about wrinkly old skin, It might be a creative solution: an elastic(有弹性的) “second skin” that can be smoothed on to make aged tissue look more youthful.The wearable film, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has shown promise in a series of small experiments where it was applied to wrinkles, under-eye bags and areas of dry skin. When applied to the face or body, the thin, transparent layer sticks to the skin and supports the tissue, making it look and behave like younger skin, its producers claim.“What weve been able to do is create a cream that you can put on the skin, and then when its on the skin it can actually form, essentially, an elastic second skin,” said Bob Langer, who led the research. Tests in the lab found that the polymer film (高分子膜), which is only 70 thousandths of a millimetre thick, reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags, and helped keep moisture in areas of dry skin.The layer is designed to be applied in the morning, then peeled off at night, In previous studies, the second skin withstood normal daily wear, and the stresses and strains of exercise and swimming, without falling off or causing irritation. It also survived exposure to rain.“Its something you can wear for a whole day or longer, depending on the physical forces thatget applied to the area where it is worn, said Daniel Anderson, who helped develop the product at MIT. “You cant tell youre wearing it.”While normal cosmetics can mask imperfections on the skin, the new coating changes the way skin behaves by giving it the elasticity of young skin. It was developed with help from two companies.28. According to the text, the “second skin”_.A. was developed by two companies B. has not been tested by scientistsC. is developed to remove under-eye bags D. is a transparent covering for the skin29. Compared with normal cosmetics, the new product_.A. can make the skin appear youngerB. can fully mask imperfections on the skinC. doesnt cause any problems in the skinD. must be used in a more complicated way30. What can we learn from the Daniels words?A. You can recognize if people wear the “second skin.”B. The “second skin” should be peeled off at night.C. How long people can wear the layer varies.D. The product can provide skin with a lot of water.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. MIT has made a breakthrough in cosmetics.B. The“ second skin” helps renew ones youth.C. Masks will soon become a thing of the past.D. How the“ second skin” is used to improve skin. DHumans and gorillas shared evolution for 23 million years. Their paths separated only six million years ago. Research on how gorillas communicate can help us understand human language development.Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal signs. These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different expressions our faces have in different social situations. A new study on gorillas showed that the right side of the body is controlled by the left part of the brain and it is also the location for language development.Two cameras were used to film all of one apes movements. One of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands more when they are doing actions with their heads or mouths at the same time. This shows that there is a connection between how our brain works and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. In addition, we can use the results of the study and our knowledge about brains to help us understand more about how language first developed in humans.Dr Forrester, who did the study, says the results can be useful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children have serious illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normally with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness when they are very young. Doctors will then be able to start treatment early.32.Which of the following may have a connection with right-handedness?A. Communication. B. Intelligence.C. Social position. D. Social success.33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. The right side of the body. B. The mouth.C. The left part of the brain. D. The front part of the head.34.Who might benefit most from the results of the study?A.Photographers of gorillas. B. Zoo keepers.C. Researchers on movement. D. Children with illness.35.We can infer from the text that gorillas _.A. prefer to use the right hand instead of the left handB. have a complex form of non-verbal communicationC. help us better develop our language abilitiesD. share the same body language with humans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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People all have good days and bad days. And some of the bad days happen due to events beyond your control. 36 One way to increase the possibility that you have a good day is to join “gratification(喜悦)” activities, which you enjoy and youre good at. 37 However, if you dont have the type of job, you can take part in other activities and find the same result. 38 There are many little pleasures you can add to your life, such as tea, a warm bath, a walk in the park and so on. As long as you enjoy them, they can really brighten your every day .Laughter is also part of having a good day .Thats why its important to do what you can to create joy for you. 39 After all, if you are humorous, you can more easily center on fun things.If you dont have much time, one way can be used during a stressful day. 40 You should achieve this by making your plan flexible and checking that everything in your plan is necessary.
