According to a new study, scientists have found that they were somewhere in the middle. This new study shows that dinosaurs were very different from most of today’s animals that are either warm or cold-blooded.‎ ‎“I think we were all surprised by this,” said Felisa Smith from the University of New Mexico. “The idea certainly took some getting used to.”‎ A study by a team of scientists led by John M. Grady of the university studied many different kinds of dinosaurs in their research. They looked at growth rate (比率), body temperature and body size of different kinds of dinosaurs.‎ How are warm-blooded animals different from cold-blooded animals? Warm-blooded animals like humans can control their body temperature. They eat a lot, and burn calories (卡路里) quickly. They have a more active lifestyle than cold-blooded animals while cold-blooded animals such as snakes do not control their body temperature.‎ Instead, they must use sunlight to keep warm, and they move much more slowly. Cold-blooded animals do not need to eat very much. Their bodies slow down in colder temperatures.‎ Besides dinosaurs, there are other animals that are not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded, such as great white sharks.‎ ‎24．According to the new study, .‎ A. dinosaurs were cold-blooded B. dinosaurs were not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded C. dinosaurs were warm-blooded D. some dinosaurs were warm-blooded and some were cold-blooded ‎25．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that .‎ A. it’s bad news to get the ide B. it’s good news to get the idea C. the idea is the same as what scientists predicted D. the idea is different from what people usually think ‎26．John M. Grady and his team studied many things about different kinds of dinosaurs EXCEPT their .‎ A. body size B. eating habit C. growth rate D. body temperature ‎27．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Great white sharks are cold-blooded.‎ B. Most of today’s animals are either warm or cold-blooded. C. Cold-blooded animals move slowly in colder temperatures.‎ D. Dinosaurs’ body temperature didn’t only depend on the environment.‎ C A university in southwest China’s Chongqing City set up a reading room as part of a campaign that stops students from taking their mobile phones with them in case the device distracts(使分心) them from concentrating on their studies.‎ Reportedly, a student named Hu Xiaopeng participating in the campaign studied 530 minutes without using his mobile phone. Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes. “Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this reading room,” said Zhang Shuran, the person responsible for the project at the university.‎ Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The hags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room. “Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there’s a call,” said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room, Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time.Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though feeling somewhat surprised, Hu said, “It’s bad to keep mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying.”‎ The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was launched a week ago. Some Internet users praised the campaign. One user named Liu Jingchang said, “It’s good. I don’t bring my phone when going to the library in case I get distracted.”‎ ‎28. Why is the reading room opened in Chongqing City?‎ A. To prevent students using mobile phones in the library. B. To prevent the mobile phones from being stolen.‎ C. To encourage students to read more books. D. To help students focus on their studies.‎ ‎29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?‎ A. The time when the mobile phones are put in the bags is recorded. B. The student will be informed if a stranger calls him.‎ C. Hu Xiaopeng thinks the campaign is a bad idea. D. The bags are on the desk near the students.‎ ‎30. What is the attitude of the students toward the reading room?‎ A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. A student studying nearly nine hours without using the mobile phone. B. Students are encouraged to study with their mobile phones.‎ C. New methods to attract students to read.‎ D. The harmful effects of mobile phones.‎ D Microplastic particles( 微塑料颗粒)appear to be killing fish because some baby fish prefer to eat the particles rather than their actual food, researchers have warned.‎ With fears that the amount of plastic in the oceans could soon equal the weight of fish in the sea, scientists have become increasingly concerned about the effects on the marine environment.‎ Now a study published in the journal Science has found that baby perch(鲈鱼)will actively choose to eat plastic over the plankton they would normally feed on. The researchers said this greatly increased death rates of the perch, stopping their growth and appearing to change usual behavior. For example, they are losing the ability to smell a predator(捕食者), which makes them much more vulnerable.‎ Professor Peter Eklov, a co-author of the Science paper, said: “This is the first time an animal has been found to prefer to eat plastic particles over food. Increases in microplastic pollution in the Baltic Sea and decreases of the coastal basic species( 物种) have recently been noticed. When placed in a tank, perch exposed to microplastic were eaten four times more quickly than perch that had not been eating plastic.”‎ Fellow researcher Oona Lpnnstedt stressed the effects of fish eating large amounts of plastic were likely to be felt throughout the food chain. “If early life-history stages of other species are similarly affected by microplastics, this will in turn increase death rates, so the effects on marine ecosystems could be lasting,” she said.‎ Microplastic is produced as larger pieces of plastic waste are broken down in the environment, but large quantities of microfibers from synthetic clothes —materials essentially made of plastic —are produced each time they are washed and are small enough to pass through waste water treatment plants and get into the sea.‎ Cosmetics( 化 妆 品 ) companies are also continuing to put microplastic pieces into their products, but the industry says it will try to stop using them by 2020.‎ ‎32. What are the scientists worried about?‎ A. Large amounts of plastic in the ocean B. The rising water temperature C. The loss of food sources D. Fishes growing bigger and bigger ‎33. The underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.‎ A. strong B. easily harmed C. active D. well protected ‎34. What can we know from the text?‎ A. Only species that eat plastic particles will be affected.‎ B. Fish farming contributes much to the pollution of the food chain. C. Products used in our daily life may produce microplastic.‎ D. Microplastic means the breakdown of large pieces of plastic.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Let’s Protect the Marine Animals B. The Oceans Are Full of Microplastic Particles C. The Effects of Plastic Pollution D. Fish Prefer to Eat Plastic over Food 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。‎ Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. 36 You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules. Be honest; be generous; be understanding.‎ Honesty is where a good friendship starts. 37 If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.‎ Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes of course. Instead, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your feelings. 38 They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better.‎ ‎ 39 Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put in your friend’s place, so you can understand the problem better.‎ ‎ 40 But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity, and understanding.‎ A. These can be very valuable to a friend.‎ B. Not all people can enjoy a true friendship. C. Friends must be able to trust one another. D. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. E. To have a friend, you must learn to be one.‎ F. Helping each other is the quality that everyone should possess.‎ G. Sooner or later, everyone needs understanding and help with a problem.‎ III. 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The Person Who Influenced Me the Most I opened the box and took out the shining gold bracelet. “For me?” I could barely talk. “Yes, of course,” said my Aunt Estelle.
