"Nothing in reality changes Rose's diagnosis. But what they did makes us feel we are truly no侧alone in this fight."‎ With binoculars(双筒望远镜)in hand, Rose and her two sisters, Grace, 5 and Sophia, 2 sat by the window and waved at their garbage men, Olsen and Fritz, as they drove by on their weekly route.‎ Olsen, 29, and Fritz, 24, told ABC News that the girl's smiling faces are what they look forward to while working. They even left Halloween candy for the girls this year to show their appreciation. They hope that more and more people can understand and support their work.‎ But weeks later, Evenson wrote Olsen and Fritz a note explaining that little Rose wouldn't be able to wave to them for a while since she'd be undergoing chemotherapy(化疗). Rose had been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer in September.‎ ‎"As a father of three, it changed my outlook on things", Olsen said. "It opened my eyes you don't know what someone else is going through.”‎ Fritz said he cried when he read the note. "I got to the chemo part and there were tears running down my face", he recalled. "I don't have any children of my own, but I can imagine if someone very close to me is diagnosed as cancer, I'll be heartbroken."‎ ‎"Rose is being treated at Sanford Children's Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She will miss a few more Thursdays, when she can wave to her garbage men, but her chemo sessions will be switched to Mondays soon and she'll be back by the window early next year. I have confidence in Rose's recovery,” her mother said.‎ ‎24. How did the garbage men help Rose's family?‎ A. They took the sick girl to hospital regularly. B.

Now, researchers who raised 19 of the geese-named for the black stripes on the backs of their heads-have shown the birds really fly so high.‎ The team trained the youngsters to fly in a large wind tunnel wearing backpacks and face masks full of sensors that recorded their heart rate, blood oxygen levels, temperature, and metabolic rate-how many calories they burned per hour. The researchers simulated(模拟)low-, medium-, and high-altitude conditions by altering the concentration of oxygen supplied to face masks worn by each goose as it flew in the tunnel.‎ Birds already have a better heart and lungs than mammals for sustained physical activity. And researchers knew that bar-headed geese have even larger, thinner lungs that let them breathe more deeply and an even bigger heart to pump more oxygen to muscles than other birds.‎ The wind tunnel experiments showed that when the concentration of oxygen was at its lowest-like the 7% found on top of Mount Everest versus 21% at sea level the geese's heart rate and frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped. Somehow, the birds managed to cool down their blood the measured blood temperature dropped-so it could take in more oxygen, the researchers report today in elife. This cooling likely helps compensate for the very thin air, the team says.‎ Although well trained, the birds were only willing to stay in the air a few minutes-or less-when wearing their backpacks and flying at "high" altitudes. So it's not clear whether these adaptations alone are what make it possible to fly the 8 hours it takes to climb over Mount Everest. But those few minutes showed these geese really could fly over the top of Mount Everest.‎ ‎28. Why did the researchers raise 19 bar-headed geese and train them?‎ A. To test the flying height and speed of them.‎ B. To confirm they could fly over Mount Everest.‎ C. To observe them flying through the wind tunnel.‎ D. To see how many calories they burned per hour.‎ ‎29. What can we learn from the wind tunnel experinent?‎ A. It was carried out at very high altitude.‎ B. The geese managed to breathe less when their blood decreased.‎ C. The goose could live through the lowest concentration of oxygen.‎ D. It shows the geese could fly at high altitude for long.‎ ‎30. What still puzzles scientists about the goose?‎ A. Whether they have super hearts and lungs.‎ B. Whether they have muscles pumped more oxygen to.‎ C. Whether they are willing to wear backpacks and face masks.‎ D. Whether they can manage to fly 8 hours to climb over Mount Everest.‎ ‎31. Where does the text most probably come from?‎ A. A science fiction. B. A climbing guide. C. A travel brochure. D. A science report.‎ D Water is a necessity of life Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain－especially in cities－can lead to flooding, That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.‎ A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because “it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture.” Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.‎ In cities, "you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just(unused) space,” says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments,” Arlotta said. "Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best.”‎ Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and ‎ make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. "My biggest surprise was that we producied 4,250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need.” She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what－and how－food can be grown on a rooftop. "This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle.”‎ ‎32. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?‎ A. Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.‎ B. There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.‎ C. They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.‎ D. Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.‎ ‎33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?‎ A. Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.‎ B. Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.‎ C. Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.‎ D. The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.‎ ‎34. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?‎ A. Confident. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Ambiguous.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Rainwater-Necessity for Plant Life B. Green Roofs-The Future of Urban Agriculture C. The United States' Agriculture Program D. Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise 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。‎ Let's face it, most of us are really busy. So busy that we don't make time for creativity. Even those who work in creative fields are probably at a point where true creativity is being pushed behind more pressing tasks. This doesn't necessarily have to be so. 36 ‎ Schedule It Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself! 37 All you really need is about 15 minutes a day and that can really start to swing the pendulum ‎ ‎(钟摆) in the other direction. I find that 15 minutes in the morning after a fresh cup of coffee is an ideal time for some creative work. You can plan a day to go out and explore something new to get inspired, whatever you feel is going to fuel your creative energy. Schedule these into your month, as well.‎ Shift Your Mindset Like I mentioned, sometimes it has to start with your own belief. 38 ,then it's not going to happen. I found that once I redesigned my business to free up more time for me, I was able to really let go of guilt and realize that creativity is self-care. Even if it's not going to better your career, it's likely going to "better" you, and that makes it all worthwhile.‎ Make Space ‎ 39 , but how about physical space? Is there a place in your home that you can devote to your creativity? Maybe it's in your office. You can have a spot with your art utensils, musical instruments, your favorite books. Or maybe it's in your back办rd and you have a spot where you drink tea and practice writing. Sometimes it may be a corner of pillows in your bedroom that you snuggle in and listen to music. Having a devoted spot helps to foster it as a daily practice that you look forward to.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ Just like all your good habits, you have to make them routine. Once you get used to carving out time and space for your creativity, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!‎ A. Be Curious B. Make It Routine C. It can be such a waste of time D. But seriously, this really helps E. We've talked about mental space F. If you're not valuing your creative time G. Here are some easy tips for making it a priority 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas.
