I was in my first year of college, making friends and enjoying life, but then my whole world turned upside down. I had a heart attack. It felt like someone was stabbing(刺) me in the chest with a knife over and over again.
After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was
staying at my Nana's house and woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again.
I couldn't even shout for help. Luckily, my grandpa was going to the toilet and heard me falling out of bed. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be here.
The two holes in my heart were causing the problems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didn't go well and it only managed to repair one of the holes.
When I woke up from the operation, I had a really dry mouth and couldn't wait to have something to eat and drink. The biggest shock of all came when I was told that I needed a heart transplant(移植) and was put on the register. The doctors were stunned at how quickly heart failure came on - it usually takes years, but it took my heart less than six months to get to that stage. My whole world came crashing down, but I stayed strong. It was a choice between crying every day and getting on with my life.
As time went on, life became even harder. I hated feeling weak all the time and needing help with everything. It got to the point where I thought I would never get a new heart. I was diagnosed with depression(抑郁症).
Even though I thought that Christmas 2008 would be my last, I really enjoyed it and even had a good New Year. Everyone was crying for me when the clock struck midnight and they told me to keep fighting.
A week later, I got a call from the doctors saying they'd found a suitable donor(捐赠人). My wish came true and thankfully the operation went well. I spent four hours in surgery where they took out my old heart and put a new one in. When I woke up I burst out crying. I had a second chance at life.

A. He narrowly escaped death thanks to his grandfather.
B. He realized what it was and shouted for help in time.

D. He decided to have an operation to repair the two holes in his heart.
2. When the author learned that he needed a heart transplant, he ______.
A. couldn't help crying every day
B. was so anxious that his heart failure developed very quickly
C. felt so depressed that he tried to kill himself
D. chose to continue to fight for his life

A. was convinced that the past Christmas had been his last
B. received a heart transplant but the operation didn't go well
C. felt blessed and grateful for his second chance at life

What was life like in Whitby back when the town was not a tourist attraction but a working fishing port?
First and foremost, it was community life. You were part of group that knew and cared about you,
as you did about your neighbors. People tended to live in one house for the whole of their life, often continuing with a married son or daughter taking on the household responsibilities and caring for their ageing parents. There was a friendliness and a sharing of one's joys and troubles with other people. Loneliness was hardly possible. A widowed(寡居的) man might find his washing quietly done for him, or maybe some kind of baking left on his doorstep. A newly confined(分娩的) mother would have few worries about the care of her other children as they would be left with a neighbor. And in due course she would repay the kindness with a similar service.
Perhaps the hardest part was the water supply. In the old days there was a pump in a near yard. Much later, piped water was led to a shared tap in each yard where one filled the daily buckets. It was often their children's job to get the water in before going to school.
In Whitby, middle-class people lived alongside those who were very poor indeed. But despite the extreme poverty, Whitby people were very good at making the best of things and did not air their poverty publicly. Respectability was important and most people tried to keep some "Sunday best" clothes.
Romantic as the artists may have found it, Whitby undoubtedly had its problems. Access to the upper floors was often by way of wooden steps and galleries outside. Roofs leaked(漏水), floors rotted, plaster(石膏) fell off. People would joke about how well their houses were ventilated(通风的).
Perhaps the state of the upkeep(维修) of the houses left much to be desired, but that was the landlord's responsibility, not the people who actually lived in them. But for their part they did their best, cleaning the floor every week. Not only that, they also cleaned the yard steps from top to bottom.
1. What did life in Whitby's community use to be like? ______
A. People moved out to live elsewhere when they got married.
B. A widowed man would find it hard to manage his life.
C. People lived in harmony with their neighbors.
D. Children were usually brought up by their grandparents.
2. What can we conclude from the text about people from Whitby? ______
A. They cared about their public image, even if they were poor.
B. The middle class and the poor were often in conflict.
C. They showed respect for each other though they were poor.
D. They felt quite comfortable about their poverty.
1. What was the main problem that most of the people of Whitby had? ______
A. They found it hard to get water from a pump.
B. They lived in very poor conditions.
C. They didn't know how to keep their houses ventilated.
D. They were not active enough to improve their living conditions.
2. According to the text, the people of Whitby were ______ in the old days.
A. romantic and artistic B. cautious and intelligent
C. friendly and open-minded D. caring and optimistic
【答案】
8.C
9.A
10.B
11.D
【解析】8.C。细节理解题.根据文章第二段You were part of group that knew and cared about you, as you did about your neighbors. People tended to live in one house for the whole of their life, often continuing with a married son or daughter taking on the household responsibilities and caring for their ageing parents.你是了解和关心你的群体的一员,就像你对你的邻居所做的那样。人们倾向于一辈子都住在一栋房子里,通常是由已婚的儿子或女儿承担家务,照顾年迈的父母.可知惠特比的社区生活人们和邻居和睦相处;故选 C。
9.A。细节理解题.根据文章第四段 But despite the extreme poverty, Whitby people were very good at making the best of things and did not air their poverty publicly. Dignity was important and most people tried to keep some "Sunday best" clothes.但尽管极度贫困,惠特比人还是非常善于善解人意,没有公开宣扬他们的贫穷。尊严很重要,大多数人都试图保留一些"周日最好"的衣服。可知我们可以从惠特比人的文本中得出即使他们很穷,他们也关心他们的公共形象;故选A。
10.B。细节理解题.根据文章第五段Access to the upper floors was often by way of wooden steps and galleries outside. Roofs leaked, floors rotted, plaster(石膏)fell off. People would joke about how well their houses were ventilated屋顶漏了,地板腐烂了,石膏脱落了。人们会开玩笑说他们的房子通风得有多好;可知大多数惠特比人的主要问题是他们生活在非常糟糕的环境中。故选B。
11.D。细节理解题.根据文章第四段But despite the extreme poverty, Whitby people were very good at making the best of things and did not air their poverty publicly.但尽管极度贫困,惠特比人还是非常善于善解人意,没有公开宣扬他们的贫穷.可知在过去的日子里,有同情心和乐观可以用来形容惠特比人。故选D。
D
Sea turtles are one of several species that have temperature-dependent sex determination. The number of female babies increases when nests are made in warmer sands.
A recent study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, California State University and Worldwide Fund for Nature Australia examined two genetically distinct populations of green sea turtles living in the Great Barrier Reef. The study found that a group of about 200,000 turtles living in the northern part of the reef was almost entirely female.
While the southern population was 65 to 69 percent female, females in the northern group accounted for 99.1 percent of young turtles and 86.8 percent of adults.
After combining their results with temperature data, the scientists in charge of the study found that the northern green turtles have been producing mainly females for more than two decades and that the complete feminization of this population is possible in the near future.
The temperature at which the turtles will produce male or female babies can be passed on to the turtles' children. Most sea turtle populations are now producing offspring above the most suitable temperature, making it clear that climate change poses a serious threat to the survival of these populations.
The chief executive of World Wildlife Fund Australia, Dermot O'Gorman, said this is another sign of the impact of climate change, following recent research that shows that coral bleaching(珊瑚白化) events are occurring far more frequently than in the past.
"We've had two years where we've had mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef," he told Guardian Australia. "That's a very visible sign of the impact of climate change. But this is a quiet change. We can't see the impact it's having on a turtle population until a study like this shows some long-term trends."
The lead author of the paper, Dr Michael Jensen, said the findings represent a major environmental conservation issue.
O'Gorman said more urgent action on climate change is clearly needed, adding that some
conservationists have already taken practical measures, such as using shade cloth on turtle nesting beaches to lower the sand temperature, and reducing bycatch in the fishing industry.
"Shade cloth can be used in certain places, but there's a limit to the scale you can do that," he said.
"Now every large male who can reproduce is going to be even more important."
1. According to the research on Great Barrier Reef's green sea turtles, ______ .
A. about 65 to 69 percent of northern turtles are female
B. 86.8 percent of southern turtles have grown up to adults
C. the feminization of green sea turtles could become worse
D. adult green sea turtles can change their sex in warmer places
2. Why did O'Gorman mention coral bleaching? ______
A. To emphasize that climate change poses more risks to coral than turtles.
B. To compare the living environments of turtles and coral.
C. To urge people to take practical measures to fight climate change.
D. To stress this discovery about green sea turtles is very valuable.
3. Conservationists are taking action to ______.
A. keep the sea turtles' nests cool
B. stop the illegal fishing of green sea turtles
C. expand the size of the green sea turtles' nesting places
D. establish places for turtles to produce offspring
4. Which would be the best title for the article? ______
A. How climate change affects ocean creatures.
B. Invisible change caused by global warming exposed.
C. Necessity of protecting green sea turtles and their habitat.
D. Global green sea turtle populations in greater danger.
【答案】
12.C
13.D
14.A
15.B
【解析】12.C。细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容,After combining their results with temperature data, the scientists in charge of the study found that the northern green turtles have been producing mainly females for more than two decades and that the complete feminization(
雌性化) of this population is possible in the near future.在将他们的研究结果与温度数据相结合之后,负责这项研究的科学家发现,北方绿海龟已经生产了二十多年的主要雌性龟,而且在不久的将来,这种种群的完全雌性化是可能的。因此绿色海龟的雌性化可能会变得更糟。结合选项,故选C。
13.D。细节理解题。根据文章第7段内容,We can't see the impact it's having on a turtle
population until a study like this shows some long-term trends."在这样的研究显示出一些长期趋势之前,我们无法看到它对海龟种群的影响。即气候变化对海龟的影响是很难观察到的,直到有此类研究出现才揭示了一些长期的趋势,可推断出该项研究的发现意义重大,结合选项,故选D。
14.A。推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段内容,that some conservationists have already taken
practical measures, such as using shade cloth on turtle nesting beaches to lower the sand temperature,一些自然资源保护主义者已经采取了一些实际措施,例如在海龟筑巢的海滩上使用遮荫布来降低沙温,可知是让海龟的巢保持凉爽,故选A。
15.B。主旨归纳题。根据文章内容,本文章主要讲述了气候变暖造成绿海龟的筑巢地温度升高,使其大面积雌性化,但是这一变化也是很难被观察到的,不过研究人员还是有了一些发现。结合选项,故选B。

四、任务型阅读(本大题共10小题,共10.0分)
On an average day most of us check our smartphones 47 times, and this habit clouds our judgment on what information to select and store, which might explain why it's time we should do things about the information we take in to form memories.
As simple as it sounds, the repetition of tasks-reading, or saying words over and over - continues to be the best method for transforming short-term memories into long-term ones. To do that, we have to retrain our minds to focus on one task at a time. Sadly, most turn a blind eye to this formula because we believe we're productive. New connections are made in your brain when you learn, so
to remember what you learn, do what you probably did in your youth: Repeat words, thoughts and ideas over and over until you get them right.
Also, spaced repetition might be the best way. Quickly pushing facts into our brains leads us to forget them in the long term. When you review knowledge and practice it often, it sticks, a research has shown. So if you can include what you're trying to remember into daily life, ideally over time, your chances of keeping it significantly improve. But once you stop reviewing that knowledge, the retention(保留) drops greatly. To get past it, space out your repetition over a few days and test the effect yourself. But be careful: find a healthy interval that works. This is a good way to effectively start tackling a new language.
Sometimes, memory and focus usually go hand-in-hand. Dr. Cowan suggests rearranging our office setup as one way to improve focus. "The rebirth of the open workplace cannot be helping stay on task, " Dr. Cowan said. Referring to work spaces without desks, physical barriers and privacy, but with a lot of playthings.
Multiple studies have found that procrastination(拖延) leads to stress and completely kills focus. Stop engaging in useless tasks like surfing the web and just handle whatever it is you need to work on. Then watch your focus increase quickly and your memory improve.
Memory is very cue(提示) dependent, "Mr. Schacter, a psychologist, said, referring to". Something he calls absent-minded memory failure. "Most say it could never happen to me, but it's a very long list of responsible people that it has happened to. When you don't have that cue, you can forget almost everything."
A simple way around that is to set reminders. Even better, combine a few of these techniques: Write your reminder on a post-it and put it on your desk so you're forced to repeatedly look at it over a long period, including the practice of spaced repetition.
Simple Ways to Be Better at Remembering
Current situation
The use of smartphones makes it difficult to process the information, so we should do something to help(51) ______ it.
Ways of(52) ______ our memories
Repeat the tasks until you(53) ______ the information you got in mind.
It's sad that the majority(54) ______ the repetition because we assume we're productive.
Put what you want to remember into daily life and you will remember them(55) ______ .
Go over and practice what you've learned at(56) ______
Be sure not to(57) ______ doing things necessary to handle.
Give special(58) ______ to what you need to focus on rather than deal with other things.
Absent-minded failure may affect almost anything if you're not(59) ______ of it.
Build on the memory with the(60) ______ of many techniques.
Conclusion
Be aware of the situation you're in and take targeted measure to form memories, or you're likely to pay the price.
【答案】51.remember
52.improving/strengthening/bettering/forming
53.keep/bear
54.neglect(s) /overlook(s) / ignore(s)
55.better/gradually/longer
56.intervals
57.delay/postpone
58.attention
60.combination
【解析】51.remember.细节理解题.第一段说到我们应该采取行动选择我们需要记住的信息,手机的使用让信息处理变得困难,关键点是take in to form memories,关键点是 memory,故填记忆,故填remember.
52.improving/strengthening/bettering/forming.细节理解题.从第二段开始文章介绍提高记忆力的方法,注意跟在of后面要加ing.故填 improving/strengthening/bettering/forming.
53.keep/bear.细节理解题.第二段中讲到不断重复能使我们记住某样东西,此处是"记住"的固定搭配keep/bear…in mind.故填keep /bear.
54.neglect(s) /overlook(s) / ignore(s).总结归纳题.第二段第三句中有"most turn a blind eye to this formula",意思为"大多数人对这个公式视而不见",turn a blind eye to 对…视而不见,将"turn a
blind eye"同义替换成neglect(s), overlook(s), ignore(s).故填neglect(s) /overlook(s) / ignore(s).
55.better/gradually/longer.总结归纳题.由第三段第三句中"When you review knowledge and practice it often, it sticks" "your chances of keeping it significantly improve,可知把需要记忆的东西加入日常生活中不断复习可以使我们牢牢记住,而且我们记住的几率会大大提升,故填 better/gradually/longer.
56.intervals.原词再现题.第三段中讲到我们要时常复习我们记忆的东西,原文有interval,所以填 intervals,与at 组成固定搭配at intervals, at times,时不时地.故填 intervals.
57.delay/postpone.细节理解题.第五段中讲到拖延会导致压力并使我们的注意力下降,所以此处填delay或者postpone, delay 与postpone与procrastinate形成同意替换,意为不要拖延做必须要完成的任务.故填delay/postpone.
58.attention.原词再现题.由第五段中"stop engaging in…just handle whatever it is you need to work on"和"watch your focus increase"可知我们应该把注意力放在我们需要做的事情上,故填固定搭配"give attention to".故填attention.
59.reminded.原词再现题.由第六段第一句"Memory is very cue-dependent"和最后一句"When you don't have that cue, you can forget almost everything"可知如果在你分心的时候如果你没有被提醒,你可能会忘记很多事,故填cue的同义替换"be reminded of".故填reminded.
60.combination.词形转换题.根据最后一段,combine a few of these techniques: write your reminder on a post….结合以下几个技巧:在帖子上写下你的提醒,这里应该是词性转换,with a combination of sth结合某物,故填combination.
