The power of “seeing”A spoon-billed sandpiper（勺嘴鹬）steps into the frame， heading straight for a small bug placed there. It
swallows its food with its spoon-shaped beak.
The performance is for Joel Sartore, founder of Photo Ark, a personal effort to document animals around the
world.
The critically endangered bird, of which there are fewer than 1,000 individuals in the wild, is the 13,000th species
Sartore has photographed in 16 years. His goal is 20,000.
Before he started Photo Ark, Sartore spent more than a decade working as a photographer for National Geographic,
mainly covering conservation stories in the field. He had seen wildlife decreasing firsthand, but felt like the public
wasn't interested.
Sartore thought of a new way to inspire people. He picked up his camera and set about taking shots of wildlife-but
rather than recording animals in the wild, he wanted to photograph them outside their natural habitat. He visited zoos,
aquariums and rehabilitation（康复）centers and photographed portraits of individual animals against a white or black
backdrop（背景幕）.
“This allows you to look them in the eye and see that there's great beauty there and that they are worth saving,” he
said. “We are primates and we respond to eye contact above all else.”
The response has indeed been huge. Sartore has more than 1.6 million followers on Instagram and a best-selling
series of Photo Ark books. Part of the proceeds（收益）from his books goes to fund on-the-ground conservation
efforts.
Gary Ward who works at London Zoo where Sartore has shot before, said, “Seeing is the first step to caring, and
caring is the first step to conservation action.”
By choosing animals outside their natural habitat, Sartore admits he will only show a small part of the world's
wildlife. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are more than 2 million described
species on the planet, and he plans to photograph just 1% of them. But doing so allows him to spotlight species that are
already extinct in the wild, and those that would be difficult to take portraits of in their natural habitat. It also enables
him to shoot in a controlled environment, meaning the animal can be kept safe and comfortable, with zookeepers or
carers on hand to advise on its behavior.
24. What is Sartore doing at the beginning of the text?
A. He is feeding a bird. B. He is training a bird.
C.He is photographing a bird. D. He is studying a bird's behavior.
25. What does Sartore aim to do with his Photo Ark?
A. Make a record of conservation stories.
B. Broaden his experience in saving animals.
C.Gather information on endangered species.
D. Raise people's awareness of protecting wildlife.
26.What is Gary Ward's attitude towards Sartore's work?
A.Unclear.
B.Approving.C.Doubtful.
D.Objective.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Why Sartore focuses on animals in human care.
B.Why Sartore can't cover all animals in the world.
C. The benefits of working with zookeepers or carers.
D. The difficulties of photographing animals in the wild.
C
It is a self-evident fact that music study boosts your artistic ability, but have you thought of that your academic
performance is actually hugely benefited? Music study has been linked to academic achievements in many studies and
serious music training is reported to be associated with success in many other fields. I hope you would not be too
surprised to hear that many outstanding professionals in industries from tech to finance to media are found to be amateur
musicians and playing music as their regular past-times.
The phenomenon extends beyond the widely-known math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told
me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other
qualities: Collection-the ability to listen, a way of thinking that joins together separate ideas, and the power to focus on
the present and the future at the same time.
It is in this context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both are at heart modes
of expression. Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund（对冲基金）Caxton Associates， says he sees similarities
between his piano playing and investing strategy; as he says, both “relate to pattern cognition, and some people extend
these patterns across different senses”.
For Roger McNamee, whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known for its early investment in Facebook,
“music and technology have met and befriended,” he says. He became expert on Facebook by using it to promote his band,
Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live-streaming its concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share
“the almost desperate need to dive deep”. This capacity of getting into something in a real way seems to unite top
performers in music and other fields.
“I've always believed the reason I've gotten ahead is by outworking other people,” he says. It's a skill learned by
“playing that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more time," and it translates into “working on
something over and over again, or double-checking or triple-checking.” He adds, “there is nothing like music to teach
you that eventually if you work hard enough, it does get better. You see the results.” That's an observation worth
remembering at a time when music as a serious pursuit is in decline in this country.
28. Based on the passage, music training can enhance all of the following abilities EXCEPT
A.handling the present with a long-range vision
B. thinking from other people's perspective
C. listening to different opinions patiently
D. identifying connection between different ideas
29.Which of the following is considered bearing similarities with music?A.Hedge fund. B.Patterns.
C.Different senses. D.Mathematics.
30. What does Roger McNamee mean by saying “music and technology have met and befriended”?
A. Musical techniques are directly used in managing business.
B. Advanced technology makes sound better than before.
C. Facebook has become a platform for promoting music albums.
D. Technology has increased the channels by which music is promoted.
31.What does the underlined word “observation” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The claim that music is the key to success.
B. The belief that results determine the value of music.
C. The idea that hard work keeps getting you ahead.
D. The proposal that one should pursue music seriously.
D
Do rewards really bring desirable results? Three researchers, psychologists Mark Lepper, David Greene, and
Richard Nisbett, watched a classroom of preschoolers for several days and identified the children who chose to spend
their “free play” time drawing. Then they conducted an experiment to test the effect of rewarding an activity these
children clearly enjoyed.
The researchers divided the children into three groups. The first was the “expected-award” group. They showed
each of these children a “Good Player” certificate decorated with a blue ribbon and featuring the child's name and
asked if the child wanted to draw in order to receive the award. The second group was the “unexpected-award” group.
Researchers asked these children simply if they wanted to draw. If they decided to, when the session ended, the
researchers handed each child one of the "Good Player" certificates. The third group was the “no-award” group.
Researchers asked these children if they wanted to draw, but neither promised them a certificate at the beginning nor
gave them one at the end.
Two weeks later, back in the classroom, teachers set out paper and markers during the preschool's free play period
while the researchers secretly observed the students. Children previously in the “unexpected-award” and “no-award”
groups drew just as much, and with the same relish as they had before the experiment. But children in the first
group-the ones who'd expected and then received an award-showed much less interest and spent much less time drawing.
Even two weeks later, those appealing prizes-so common in classrooms-had turned play into work.
Based on the research，contingent（连带的）rewards-if you do this， then you’ll get that-had significant
negative effect on people. “If-then” rewards require people to sacrifice some of their autonomy. They're no longer fully
controlling their lives. And that can spring a hole in the bottom of their motivational bucket, draining an activity of its
enjoyment.
Other researchers found similar results with adults. These insights proved so surprising, which called into question a
standard practice of most companies and schools: promising and giving rewards, especially material ones, to desirable
behaviors and results. As one leading behavioral science textbook puts it, “People use rewards expecting to gain the
benefit of increasing another person's motivation and behavior, but in so doing, they often bear the unintentional andhidden cost of weakening that person's inner motivation toward the activity.”
32.It can be inferred from the passage that Lepper, Greene, and Nisbett's experiment was designed to ensure that
A. all children who were part of the expected-award group were not distracted by the promise of an award while
drawing
B. all children who participated in the experiment were known to enjoy drawing
C. all children who displayed equal levels of enthusiasm for drawing would be grouped together
D. all children who did not receive an award would maintain their motivation to draw
33.The underlined word “relish” most nearly means
A.diversity
B.flavor
C.pleasure
D.style
34. Based on the passage, which of the following activities would most likely affect people's inner motivation in a
negative way?
A. Orally encourage students who have helped in group projects.
B. Offer sheets of paper academic reports to students about their performance of the semester.
C. Promise to award students financially who used to contribute to the class activities voluntarily.
D. Show gratitude to your family members for their unconditional love.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Enjoy painting, enjoy life
B. Do the best, expect the least
C. Practice self-control to achieve more
D.Award: motivational or not?

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。
My grandparents were always busy with food. My grandmother could pull out the feathers of a chicken in less than
half an hour. They picked vegetables from their garden. Animal fat was saved. 36 Nearly a decade after my grandmother
died, I found myself in a kitchen, pulling out the feathers of a chicken.
It took hours and made my fingers hurt. After an adult life spent buying rather than growing food, as a so-called
new farmer, I finally began to understand my grandparents. 37
My grandparents' generation spent a third of their income on food. 38 Food is no longer seen as public goods, but
as public given resources. The ecological cost of this progress is now clear. The health costs are starting to be noticed.
But until I began talking to the farmers around me, I had not understood the human costs faced by those asked to
produce milk sold for less than bottled water. 39 Called “ regenerative farming”, it was being driven by a new generation
of farmers trying to find a new kind of power in the face of loss of climate change and rising fuel and transport costs.
40 Those plants and animals worked together to help the soil become rich again. They kept living roots in theground all year round, building up the soil's biology and taking in carbon.
Research has found that regenerative farming not only benefits the land, but profits can be 78% higher than
conventional farms.
A. We spend less than a tenth.
B. And any leftover meat was cut up for pies.
C. Regenerative farming is welcomed by thousands of farmers now.
D. I began to understand the work that we took for granted.
E. I realized that keeping a big family was really a big burden for them.
F. New technology helped these farmers raise a diversity of crops and farm animals.
G. Then I came across a farming reform that sought to change this traditional system.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。Ramu started a business with great enthusiasm but just after a few months his business went under. Time passed
but Ramu didn't start any new work. His teacher got to know about his situation and called him to his home.
The teacher asked, “Why don't you start some other work?”
Ramu replied, “I gave my everything to my business and yet it still failed.”
The teacher tried to comfort him, saying “But that's life. Sometimes we get success and sometimes we don't. This
doesn't mean that we stop working.”
“What's the point of doing work, when I can't be sure of success?" Ramu replied with a bit of annoyance.
The teacher took Ramu to a room and showed him a dead tomato plant. Ramu was confused and said, “It's dead.
Why are you showing it to me?”
The teacher replied, “When I sowed its seed, I did everything right for it. I watered it， fertilized it， sprayed it
with pesticide（杀虫剂）. I took great care of it but it still died.” He stopped for a while and then said, “Doing work is
the same... No matter how hard you try, you cannot decide what happens in the end. However, you can control those
things in your hands. Just do your best!”
Ramu asked, “But if there is no guarantee of success then what's the use of doing anything?”
The teacher said, “You'd better not think like that...”
“What's wrong with that... I have given so much hard work, so much money, so much time; if success is only a
matter of chance, then what is the use of doing so much?” said Ramu and he was about to leave.
Just then the teacher stopped him and said, “Before you leave, I want to show you one more thing.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He took Ramu to another room and opened the door.
At that very moment, Ramu read the lesson of success.
