He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.‎ The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively（(冲动地）,I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway , he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff （执法官）in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad's closest adviser talking." John? he's your son and he's a kid, but he is dragging you down." his adviser said. "If you can't make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?"‎ So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong officer. I was determined not to be broken. I was who I was.‎ Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles.‎ Our sergeants were firm but kind ,not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.‎ One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw happiness and love in his eyes.‎ ‎"So what's it like being sheriff?" I asked on the ride home.‎ ‎"I lost the race, Danny,” he said.‎ ‎"I'm sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.‎ Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don't ever lose you, I'm okay. ”‎ ‎24. The author was finally sent to wilderness because .‎ A. he could learn how to survive in the wild B. his teacher insisted on giving him a lesson C. he pushed his math teacher down the stairs D. his mother feared that he would be accused ‎25.

How did the author father feel at the end of the story?‎ A. Anxious. B. Astonished. C. Disappointed. D. Relieved.‎ C Whether paired with a bottle of nice red wine or a burger, cheese can be a delicious treat. But it is not perhaps, the ideal material to use in printing—unless you are a team of nutritional scientists. One group of researchers used 3D printing to create a cheese. And the cheese could provide a valuable insight for engineers who are still developing materials for 3D printing.‎ A team from the school of food and nutritional sciences at University College Cork (UCC) conducted a series of tests evaluating the 3D-printed cheese. 3D printing materials need to be fluid(液态)enough to flow but also capable of setting into a definite shape or structure.‎ After melting the cheese at 75°C (167°F) for 12 minutes, the UCC team then ran it through a modified commercial 3D printer. The machine, which usually prints with plastic, was fitted with a syringe(注射器)to allow it to print with the melted cheese.‎ The UCC team used several techniques to examine the effects of the 3D printing process on their cheese. They compared the 3D-printed results to processed cheese that had been melted and then cooled, as well as another sample that was left untouched. Cheese that was 3D printed was 45% to 49% softer than the processed cheese, the researchers said. They also discovered that 3D-printed cheese was a little darker in colour and more fluid when melted, though it melted at about the same temperature as processed cheese.‎ Dr Kelly and his colleagues are now testing other types of dairy products which can be 3D-printed. Dr Kelly said, “We are using mixtures of milk proteins at present to build a product, perhaps a high-protein snack, and designing recipes which might work best for a 3D printer. ”‎ ‎28. What problems are the engineers facing in 3D printing a cheese?‎ A. They don't have proper material. B. They can't find a bottle of nice red wine or a burger.‎ C. They can't make the cheese very delicious. D. They know much less than nutritional scientists.‎ ‎29. How did the researchers use the 3D printer to make cheese?‎ A. They raised the temperature to 75°C. B. They added a syringe to the printer.‎ C. They bought some cheese to paint it. D. They evaluated the 3D-printed cheese.‎ ‎30. What is the advantage of the 3D-printed cheese?‎ A. It melts more easily. B. It tastes more delicious.‎ C. It costs less money. D. It is much softer.‎ ‎31. What will Dr Kelly and his colleagues do next according to the last paragraph?‎ A. Publish a report on their research. B. Invent a new 3D printer.‎ C. 3D print more milk food. D. Make more cheese with their machine.‎ D People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans（寿命）that are similar to humans，living for around 50 to 70 years．‎ ‎ Now scientists believe they know why．A team at the University of Chicago，US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors（肿瘤） developing．To be precise，they found 20 copies of an antitumor gene called TP53 in elephants．Most other species，including humans，only carry one copy．‎ ‎ According to the research，the extra copies of the gene improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage，which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors．‎ ‎ "An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals，" the study author Dr． Vincent Lynch told The Guardian．If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous（癌变的），large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice．But across species，the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass．‎ ‎ This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named "Peto's paradox （悖论）"．Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not．In the elephant's case, the making of TP53 is nature's way of keeping this species alive．‎ ‎ The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants．This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancer spreading or even developing in the first place．‎ ‎ "Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer，" said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah,US．"It's up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people．"‎ ‎32.Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer？‎ A．They have a rather large body size． B．Their genes suffer no DNA damage．‎ C．Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors．D．They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing．‎ ‎33.According to the passage，what has been a risk in the evolution（进化）of large animals？‎ A．Deadly tumors． B．The huge body mass．‎ C．Cells killing themselves． D．Sensitivity to DNA damage．‎ ‎34.What does the underlined part "This phenomenon" in Paragraph 5 probably refer to？‎ A．Larger animals have protection from TP53．‎ B．The risk of cancer is not related to body size．‎ C．Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones．‎ D．The huger animals are， the bigger risk of cancer they will have．‎ ‎35.What can be concluded from the passage？‎ A．Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer．‎ B．The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people．‎ C．Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53．‎ D．The extra copies of elephants' genes are used to cure cancer patients．‎ 第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。‎ To help you understand what 5G is, and what it means to you, we've put together a handy guide here. ‎ What is 5G?‎ ‎ 36 . At its most basic level, 5G will be used to make calls, send texts, and to simply get online. But it’s going to be significantly faster than previous generations, and could open the door up to a range of exciting new uses. ‎ ‎ 37 ‎ ‎5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which carry information much faster. While these higher bands are faster, they don't carry information as far. That's to say, smaller multiple input and output antennas(天线)will be used-promoting both signals and capacity(容量). 38 ‎ Why is it better than 4G?‎ ‎5G is expected to be faster than 4G, with some firms claiming it could be as much as 100 times quicker. The fastest 4G networks can deliver peak download speeds of around 300 Mbit/s. 39 . In real life, this could allow you to download a full HD film in less than 10 seconds!‎ ‎ 40 . It means there will be very little delay when you carry out tasks on a device. While this will help improve things like gaming experiences, it could also pave the way for safer self-driving cars-in which even a short delay could be life-saving. ‎ Finally, 5G will have a larger capacity, meaning networks will be able to deal with several apps at once. Generally, this should mean that devices have a faster, more stable connection. ‎ A. How does 5G work?‎ B. How will 5G affect you?‎ C. This means 5G will support up to 1, 000 more devices per meter than 4G. ‎ D. In comparison, 5G could offer download speeds of over 1 Gb/s. ‎ E. Therefore, the similarity between 5G and 4G technology is huge. ‎ F. 5G is short for "5th generation mobile network."‎ G. 5G is also expected to have a shorter time lag(时间差). ‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节（共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ In 1994, The Brazilian photographer Salgado went back to his homeland in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did.

What do you really want to do in the gorgeous future?”‎ I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if he gets angry?

We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.‎ To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs.

However, he didn’t give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoyed and held on to it. (72字)‎ From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my devotion to school work, I spent all my spare time making full preparations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me. Meanwhile, I contributed to literary journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of. (87字)‎
