I was a 31 father on my way home to my wife and baby boy after spending all day 32 college classes. I had gone back to school to get a degree in education. I wanted to secure a 33 job that would help me to build a better life for my growing family. It was a two-hour round trip to the 34 , so every day I would pray for my20-year-old car to 35it all the way.As I started down a lonely stretch of highway about 12 miles from my home I 36 a car parked along the side of the road with its emergency flashers 37 .

The lug nuts were rusty（生锈的）and42 and the lug wrench（单向扳手）a little small, but after a while I got the flat off and the43 tire on. As I said goodbye the little lady hugged me with tears of 44 this time. I waved and drove off a little embarrassed at her 45 . After all, it had just been one kind act.It took me a lot of years after that to learn the true 46 of one kind act. One kind actcan change the world.

A textbook.BI arrived in this beautiful Spanish island at the start of September, full of enthusiasm and eager to start work as an English teacher. I sorted all the necessary paperwork out and moved into a flat of my own within the first couple of days. Great! Or so I thought. As 4 am and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to breakat the rate of one object per day, like the hot water, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy （笨拙的）but things just fell apart. If it wasnt broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.As for（至于）the general lack of equipment in the house, there was no oven, tin opener, sharp knives or potato peeler. It turns out making a burger from scratch wasnt the best idea. Ihave a small microwave and a gril（l 钻）. I thought the general understanding was never to putmetal in a microwave but I went with it. Smoke soon started to appear. I was not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out. I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.Luckily, Im now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things havebroken (probably because there is nothing left to break). Ive also realized that even if a flat looks pretty, it doesnt mean its contents（内容）work. I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils（厨房用具）.56. How did the author feel right after her reaching the island?A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Confident. D. Exhausted.57. What problem did the author have in the morning?A. She often slept late.B. Her alarm failed to work.C. She got some noisy neighbors. D. Her sleep was disturbed by a rooster.58. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A. She was a very careful woman. B. She was quite satisfied with her flat.C. Her flat was pretty old but comfortable.D. Her household articles（物品）were in poor condition.59. What happened when the author was making a burger?A. She was seriously injured.B. She made a terrible mistake.C. She broke her phone accidentally. D. She suffered a sudden power failure.60. What is the next mainly about?A. Remaining optimistic.B. How to choose a nice flat.C. Learning to live in a new flat. D. Why living abroad is not easy.CI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I dont know,” I replied. “But, Grandmom, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about a powerful device（设备）that transports the userto an alternate reality. I spent most of my waking hours on it, unaware of the world around me. The device was, of course, the book. Over time, reading hijacked（控制）my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion（沉浸） didnt prevent my development, but it did leave me with some illusions（幻想） my idea of romantic love surely came from novels.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage childrens development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of allages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions（ 限制）on screen exposure（暴露）. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines emphasize that what matters is content and context, what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panicky（紧张不安的）guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while childrens brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, and transparent and obvious not really technology at all to those children like Augie.When Augies father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? Ill show you”61. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a topic. B. To present an argument.C. To clarify（表明）the authors writing purpose.D. To give information on main characters.62. What can be learned about the author?A. She had an unhappy childhood.B. She was interested in reading novels.C. She was addicted to an electronic device. D. She paid much attention to the real world.63. What does the AAP probably advise people to do?A. Limit childrens screen time.B. Dont chat online with strangers.C. Dont stare at a screen before bedtime. D. Guide children on their screen devices.64. In the authors opinion, why do adults react to new things differently from children?A. They dont want to change. B. Their learning ability decreases with age.C. They have no desire for the dynamic world.D. Their learning methods differ from childrens.65. What might be the authors attitude to “screen time”?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Disapproving（反对的）. D. Contradictory（相互矛盾的）.DI was recently surfing the Internet when I came across a collection of strange beach photos where everyone had a cloth wall surrounding their little patch of sand. I had never seen anything like it before, and I was intrigued. So I started Googling all sorts of phrases that might throw light on the mystery of Polish beach separators.I found a site on Polands affairs that actually covered this “phenomenon（现象）” quiteexactly. According to the site, beach separators have been a part of Polish beach-going culture for a long time, but have recently been getting a lot of attention online, after foreign tourists started posting photos on social networks.Beach separators vary in size according to the size of the group. Youll see tiny ones only surrounding the space around a single beach towel, and giant ones separating a large part ofthe beach. They werent designed to protect their users from prying（窥探）eyes. Its no secretthat strong winds are very common on the shores of the Baltic Sea, so they were originally meant to allow beach-goers to enjoy sunbathing without having their belongings blown away, or sand blown in their faces.However, in recent years, people have begun criticizing them. During the summer, beach separators are placed so close to each other that a person can hardly pass between them, letalone （ 更不必说） find a place to put their own beach towels. This creates a problem forforeign tourists unfamiliar with them, who just want a place to lie down on the sand. And thus they can easily create all kinds of conflicts（冲突）due to the lack of space. For example, some people leave the beach for hours but leave their separators in place, to make sure that their space doesnt get occupied by someone else.Having visited a fair number of seaside resort（snever seen anything like this before.胜地）across Europe, I admire that I have66. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 1?A. Amused.B. Satisfied.C. Interested.D. Encouraged.67. What do we know about the beach separators?A. They are a special tradition in Poland.B. They are man-made scenery in Poland.C. They are a temporary phenomenon in Poland.D. They are becoming popular around the world.68. Why do the beach-goers set up separators?A. To have a good sunbath.B. To attract others attention.C. To keep themselves in private.D. To protect themselves from thieves.69. What are beach separators blamed for?A. They cause plenty of garbage.B. They take up too much space.C. They fail to function properly.D. They look strangely out of place.70. What is the text mainly about?A. A new Polish attraction.B. Big challenges on the beach.C. Beach space separators in Poland.D. An unforgettable journey to Poland.五、阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分）Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes and finds that alumni（毕业生）of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The
