Like many of the Indigenous （土著的） communities across the Australian continent,
the remote communities in north-west New South Wales are struggling. Many of the 300 or
so residents rely on welfare. Higher electricity bills—up to $3, 000 a quarter for some
households-further worsen the poverty. They're always at the end of the power line, so the
service that is there is quite extraordinary in terms of cost. It's a real problem that needs
to be fixed.
Page 4 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司To that end, Anderson and other Indigenous leaders have formed the First Nations Re-
newable Energy Alliance （FREA） to push for renewable energy in Indigenous communi-
ties. They partner with private enterprise to support Indigenous communities looking to switch
to renewable energy.
"We can build a power station where the community exists, "Anderson says, "so peo-
ple are able to successfully live in the environment the way they want to live and have
access to power which enables them to better determine their economic future. "
Only a handful of Indigenous communities have set up renewable energy projects in
Australia. The Indigenous-owned and -operated company AllGrid Energy, for instance, has
installed solar panels and battery storage systems to replace diesel（柴油） generators in
the communities of Ngurrara and Kurnturlpara in the Northern Territory's Barkly Tableland.
Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were moving back
to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about
40.
But FREA will go one step further, working with community leaders and acting as a
conduit （纽带） between the communities and the businesses they are dealing with. This
is essential, says Anderson, to avoid predatory （吞并） practices they have seen in the
past, with companies "playing on the psychology of poverty" to gain advantage. The FREA
has drafted terms of agreements that will guide how companies engage with Indigenous
communities for renewable energy projects.
One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a
test case for a renewables project "Our experience is that if we can make it work for one
community, it will work in every other community, " Anderson says.
24. What is FREA expected to do for the remote Indigenous communities?
A. Increase power supply to them. B. Help them return to their homelands.
C. Shake them off poverty. D. Reduce their higher power costs.
25. What does the author indicate by mentioning AllGrid Energy?
A. Renewables projects are inaccessible.
B. Renewables projects are quite workable.
C. Renewables projects can increase locals' income.
Page 5 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. Renewables projects can coexist with diesel power plants.
26. What's paragraph 5 mainly about concerning FREA?
A. Its strategies to win over the businesses.
B. Its cooperation with community leaders.
C. Its potential conflict with energy companies.
D. Its innovation in directing renewables projects.
27. What's FREA going to do next?
A. Consult the experts. B. Select a piloting community.
C. Collect sufficient construction fund. D. Make renewables projects available to
all.

The science of why insects gather around lights at night has never been nailed down .
Popular theories propose that moths and other insects navigate （导航） by the moon and
mistake lamps for moonlight, or that the insects fly towards light to escape coming danger.
Now researchers believe they have a more convincing answer: contrary to current theories,
insects are not attracted to light from far away, but become trapped if they fly close to an
artificial light source.
According to Dr Sam Fabian, study co-author and Imperial College London entomolo-
gist, moths and many other insects that fly at night evolved to tilt （倾斜） their backs to
wherever is brightest. For hundreds of millions of years, this was the sky rather than the
ground. The trick told insects which way was up and ensured they flew level. But then came
artificial lighting. Moths found themselves tilting their backs to street lamps. This caused
them to circle around the lamps endlessly, the insects trapped by their evolution.
Fabian and his colleagues filmed insect flight paths around lights in the lab. The
videos reveal that time and again, moths and dragonflies turned their backs to artificial
lights, which appeared to greatly change their flight paths. "If the light is above them, they
might start orbiting it, but if it's behind them, they start tilting backwards and end up flying
in circles or diving toward the ground.
Researchers have long warned that light pollution is a big driving force in the dra-
matic decline in insect populations. Moths and other insects that become trapped around
Page 6 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司lamps become easily caught by bats. The artificial lighting can also fool them into thinking
it is daytime, causing them to bed down and skip a night's feeding.
There are, Fabian believes, helpful lessons from the research. "What this tells us is
that the direction of artificial light matters. Could we change lighting environments to not
trap insects? For we're facing a massive decline in insects around the world, and artificial
light at night is one of the factors that could potentially be leading to this decline, "
Fabian said.
28. What do the underlined words "nailed down" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Popularized widely. B. Discussed openly.
C. Defined accurately. D. Explored academically.
29. Fabian's study found that moths circle around the lamps endlessly because ______.
A. they can't keep their balance.
B. they use improper flight attitude.
C. they lose track of which way is up.
D. they are attracted to lights from far away.
30. What is the significance of the research finding?
A. It may lead to better conservation of insects.
B. Natural enemies of insects will be got rid of.
C. Artificial lighting will be greatly reduced at night.
D. It may raise concerns for insects' eating behavior.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why insects lose their ability to fly at night.
B. Why artificial light and evolution trap insects.
C. How artificial light impacts insect populations.
D. How insects evolved distinct strategies of flight.

I'm a layperson with a love of science who occasionally reads science magazines. My
approach was from an author's angle, spending months on research before writing a single
word for Pig Heart Boy.
Page 7 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司So where did I get the idea? Whenever I attend a school event, that question is asked.
The answer is simple. Back in the mid 1990s, I read a newspaper article written by a doc-
tor who guessed that we would eventually have to turn to xenotransplantation （异种器官
移植）as a possible solution to the lack of human organ donors. It left my mind filled with
questions. What are the consequences? Do we really have the right to treat animals as mere
organ sources for humans? So I headed to my nearest bookshop and bought all the books I
could on heart transplants in particular.
I've found questions are one of the best places to start from when writing a novel. In
my story Cameron, who needs a heart transplant, knows he is unlikely to see his next
birthday unless he receives one, but he is a long way down the waiting list. When a ge-
netically modified（GM）pig's heart is offered by a pioneering doctor, Cameron decides to
go for it -and his new heart completely changes his life in unexpected ways.
Now some people think that the subject matter is not suitable for children, criticizing
the cruel and inhuman ways of xenotransplantation. I completely disagree. As a children's
author, it never ceases to amaze me how some adults underestimate what subject matter
will interest and stimulate children. I wanted to write a story that provided no right or
wrong answers, a story that would allow the reader to walk in Cameron's shoes for a
while and think about what decisions they would make and how they would react if they
too were faced with his situation.
Fictional stories that explore new ideas when it comes to STEM （science, technology,
engineering and mathematics）subjects also have a part to play in enriching our children's
reading and learning. Various studies have shown that reading fiction enhances our chil-
dren's ability to grasp new concepts. Pig Heart Boy was my attempt to incorporate science
possible into a believable, thought-provoking （令人深思的） story.
32. Where did the author get inspiration from to write Pig Heart Boy?
A. A school event. B. A news item.
C. Science magazines. D. Books on heart transplants.
33. What might be a major concern of those who disagree with Pig Heart Boy?
A. Animal rights. B. GM technology.
C. Organ transplant risks. D. Organ shortage crisis.
Page 8 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司34. What are the last two paragraphs of the text mainly about?
A. Ways of tapping children's intelligence.
B. Potential application of fictional stories.
C. Supporting evidence for justifying the book.
D. Influence of fictional stories on STEM subjects.
35. What is Pig Heart Boy?
A. An author profile. B. A science fiction novel.
C. A guidebook to xenotransplantation. D. An essay on writing children's liter-
ature.

My Best Examination
One day, while at work in a coal-mine in Malden, I happened to overhear two miners
talking about a great school for poor people in Virginia. It was Hampton Institute. The
school was established to provide opportunities for poor but worthy students who could
work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or
industry.
Page 12 of 13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to school. I decided at
once to go to that school. Finally the great day came and I started for Hampton. I had
only a small, cheap bag that contained what few articles of clothing I could get. The dis-
tance from Malden to Hampton is about five hundred miles. I had not been away from
home many hours before it began to grow painfully evident that I did not have enough
money to pay my fare （路费） to Hampton.
By walking and begging rides in some way, I finally reached the grounds of the
Hampton Institute after a number of days, tired and dirty. As soon as possible after reach-
ing, I presented myself before the head teacher for assignment to a class. Having been so
long without proper food, a bath, and change of clothing, I was like a worthless loafer （游荡
者）.
I did not, of course, make a very favourable impression upon her, and I could see at
once that there were doubts in her mind about the wisdom of admitting me as a student. I
tried to impress her in all the ways I could with my worthiness. How I wished that I
could get a chance to show what was in me.
After some time, the head teacher said to me, “The adjoining （隔壁的） classroom
needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it. "
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。
I occurred to me at once that here was my chance.
The head teacher went into the room and inspected the floor and closets.
