17-year-old Tibetan girl Cigla is a freshman at Nagqu No. 2 Senior High School in Lhasa, which sit 3,650
meters above sea level. She now plays point guard for the school’s 12-member female basketball team.
“Practice makes perfect. You get used to the altitude when you love the sport and train hard enough,” said the
potential basketball star, who has been crazy about the sport since taking it up three years ago.
With outstanding speed and accurate passes, she never fails to shine on the basketball court, even when she
competes against the boys. Though she is a freshman in high school, Cigla already has a clear picture of her
future--entering a sports college to study basketball. In the eyes of Cila, who comes from a poor herder’s (牧民的)
family in northern Tibet, studying in Lhasa, the most developed city in this area, has made it much easier for her
to realize her basketball dream.
With an average altitude of over 4,500 meters. Nagqu is among the most uninhabitable places in Tibet. Low-
oxygen environments and extreme weather have long influenced the health of Nagqu students, hampering the
development of primary education in the area.
Like Cigla, many students at the school are from poor farmers’ and herders’ families. Dawa Droma, a senior
student also on the school’s female basketball team, recalled, “I had never touched a basketball before that game
but joined the class team anyway. When I scored and heard my classmates cheer for me, I couldn’t feel more
proud. That’s how I fell in love with basketball and why I never looked back.” Reflecting on the influence of
basketball on her life, Dawa Droma said the sport had helped her get fit and build up confidence over the years.
“Meeting players from different schools has certainly made me a more outgoing person,” she said.
4. What do we know about Cigla from the text?
A. She loves playing basketball but dislikes training hard.
B. She is in Grade One at a senior high school at a high altitude.
C. She’s been crazy about playing basketball since she was 12 years old.

A. Her school’s location. B. Her clear plans.
C. Her family background. D. Her entering a sports college.

In the animal kingdom, killer whales (虎鲸) are social stars: they travel in varied family groups, care for
grandchildren, and even imitate human speech. Now, scientists are adding one more behavior to the list: forming
fast friendships. A new study shows killer whales can rival animals such as chimpanzees and macaques (a kind of
monkey), and even humans when it comes to the kind of “social touch” that indicates strong bonds.
Some ocean animals maintain social structures — including male dolphins that learn the “names” of their
close allies (盟友). But there is little data about wild killer whales. That’s where drone (无人机) technology came
in. Michael Weiss, a behavioral ecologist, teamed up with his colleagues to launch drones, flying them 30 to 120
meters above a group of killer whales. That was high enough not to trouble the whales, marking the first time
drones have been used to study friendly physical contact in whales.
The researchers recorded over 800 instances of physical contact between individuals. Those included hugs,
back-to-back and nose-to-nose touches between pairs of whales. Other whales playfully threw young whales into
the air, letting them fall into the water. Besides, the drone images revealed clear preferences among individuals,
usually for one “best friend” of the same sex and age. Take J49 and J51 — two distantly related young males aged
9 and 6 — for instance. “Every time you see a group of whales, those two are right there interacting with each
other,” Weiss says.
The young led most of these interactions, rather than the older females or males. Older males in particular
were less important. “The young individuals really seem to be the glue holding the groups together,” Weiss says.
As individuals age, this gradual loss of “centrality” is known in many social mammals, including humans. That
finding is “especially appealing” to Stacey Tecot, who wasn’t involved in the study. “Scientists have long
observed this social aging trend in animals, but there are still many unanswered questions,” she says. That’s
certainly on the researchers’ radar. “We’re already gathering new data, with more advanced equipment,” says
Weiss.
8. What does the underlined word “rival” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Benefit from. B. Be equal to. C. Depend on. D. Be fond of.
9. What is new about Weiss’ research?
A. The research method. B. The variety of species.C. The size of the research team. D. The time spent on the research.
10. What did Weiss find about J49 and J51?
A. They have a stable friendship. B. Their interactions are more complicated.
C. Their communicating ways change frequently.D. They prefer playing with young female whales.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. More researchers will be involved in the study.
B. Other scientists take a negative attitude to the research.
C. Researchers will collect more data to study killer whales.
D. Researchers will uncover the social aging trend in animals soon.
D
When we’re in trouble, we always ask our parents for help. But would you like them to hear the
conversations you have with your friends on the school playground? Social networking sites have become
extensions(延伸) of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your
online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest
technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because
they didn’t need to know more about technology. However, many parents are beginning to realize just how
important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation(动机) to
educate themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites
because they can choose who they have around them, there’s also a amount of control over privacy(隐私) that we
don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated(违背) when we must accept a “friend” request
from family members.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow parents to become a part of our online lives. Sometimes we
don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something
to hide. But if you do accept, then you will feel yourself being watched and no longer feel free to communicate
the way you did before.
A survey suggested parents shouldn’t take it personally if their children overlook(忽略) their requests. When
a teenager overlooks a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is hiding something, but it
means that he wants to be independent.
Perhaps talking with parents and explaining would help soften the blow if you choose not to add them to
your friend list.

Time is one of the most valuable commodities we have. It is a non-renewable resource that,once lost, cannot
be regained. 16 But how we choose to spend it can make or break our lives.
We frequently run out of time in today’s fast-paced world. We have deadlines, appointments and
responsibilities to meet within a certain time. 17 We may believe that we have all the time in the world,
but before we know it, the day is over, the week is over and another year has passed.
The proverb “time and tide wait for none” reminds us that time is a limited resource that we must make the
most of. 18 We should prioritize our tasks, set goals and work towards achieving them. We should avoid
procrastination (拖延) and make every moment count.
19 We live in a world where social media, emails and notifications take most of our attention. It is
so easy to get sucked into endlessly watching videos or looking at posts. However,if we allow these distractions to
take over, we risk wasting valuable time that could be spent on more productive activities.
“Time and tide wait for none” also reminds us that time is valuable and should not be squandered (挥霍). We
should treasure every moment and make the most of it. We should spend time with our loved ones, pursue our
passions and do things that make us happy. 20The proverb serves as a powerful reminder of the value of time management. Time is a finite resource that
must be used wisely. So, let us all strive to maximise our time and live our lives to the fullest.
A. We all have the same amount of time in a day.
B. Life is too short to waste time on things that don’t matter.
C. Distractions are one of the most difficult challenges we face.
D. It encourages us to be mindful of our time and to use it wisely.
E. It’s all too easy to let time slip away while browsing our news feeds.
F. It illustrates the idea that time is fleeting and it doesn’t wait for anyone.
G. With so much to do, it’s easy to lose track of time and allow it to pass by you.

What could driving a nice car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you
might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote
Gooseberry Mesa for a(n) 21 aimed at capturing the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is 22 from the nighttime light pollution, making it
perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are 23 .
Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the 24 between photography
and racing. Bubba 25 , “Once you fire up the 26 there’s no turning back — I know I’ll be
in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my
camera — I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing 27 allowed him to
mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are 28 — the Earth’s shadow, the
moonlight, the rise of stars.” Batak explains, “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical
and 29 demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s 30 landscapes under
freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will 31 your chance at a perfect shot? According to
Batak. “With wide-angle nightscapes every 32 weather condition can be an opportunity. Our
photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared 33 that go beyond photography. “We’ve both passionate about
bringing cultures together and using our work to 34 boundaries,” says Batak. “The night sky
has a 35 power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”

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。
I had a secret. I had been considering the decision for some time, but hadn’t discussed it with anyone. As an
English Language Arts teacher in my fourth year, I had to leave my beloved profession.
I kept praying for a sign to stay, but my father was very ill and needed someone to take care of him. Although
many students liked my class and I had received hundreds of letters from former students appreciating my
influence on their lives, I still made this difficult decision.
It was nearing the end of what I had come to think of as my last year. A senior named Lyric, who was my
assistant, asked if I could meet him and another student named Ari for dinner to discuss how to prepare for
college. I agreed but didn’t think anything of it.
It was on a Saturday evening and my schedule for that day was already packed. I attended an academic
conference that morning and then spent the next four hours at the boys’ basketball game where I was the assistant
coach of the school team. By the time the game ended, I had about an hour to get to the dinner. I was so tired that I
almost called Lyric to re-schedule. But I had promised, so I got in my car and headed to the restaurant.
As I was walking up to the restaurant, I saw Lyric, Ari, and Sal, another former student, all dressed up. I
asked Lyric, “Why are you guys so dressed up?” He responded, “Follow us and you’ll see. “The three of them led
me to the outside patio (露台) where there was a long table full of some forty students. They had decorated the
patio with fairy lights and flowers, and the table was adorned (装饰) with a beautiful tablecloth and candles. They
