15、ed; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.

I was willing to try anything, so I contacted the owner, a woman named Camille. When she e-mailed me back I discovered she wasnt renting a

19、 house at all. She was renting the attic (阁楼)apartment. I left her a message calling off our meeting. I thought that would be the end of it. Instead, Camille called me back and insisted I come over. So here I was. I pulled the car to a stop and looked up at the tiny cottage. The house was small as i

20、t was. The attic window looked too tiny to let much light in. We couldnt live in a dark, depressing place. I could make do with almost anything. But Dash needs a good home, a place he really feels safe. I pushed open the car door and got out. I had to tell Camille it was a mistake for me to come. I

21、knocked. The woman who opened the door was small and bright-eyed. She was much older than Id 第 - 5 - 页 共 16 页 - 5 - guessed, but I could see she had the energy of someone half her age. She looked so sympathetic that I found myself wanting to keep talking to her. “We have to leave our home,“ I explai

22、ned. “My marriage ended. I only have a few days to find something else, but I want it to be right.“ Camille nodded. “Youre a good mother. You never know the miracles that await you around the comer.“ Camille walked me to the door and wished me well. I got back in the car and snapped out of it. I dro

23、ve off slowly, hoping to make the feeling last. I turned down a side street I didnt recognize. I glanced out of the side window. Just up ahead was a cottage with a sign out in front: for rent. I pulled over. I found the owners had just bought the house themselves and were decorating it, hoping to fi

24、nd the perfect renters. They took me on a tour of the house that was like a copy of my list: a big bedroom for Dash and a backyard with trees, a great school nearby. The house was meant for us. Camille was right. Miracles await us, just around the comer. 24. How did the author feel after she receive

27、pains, no gains. C. Every little bit helps. D. Well begun is half done. C On Dec 22, China became the third country in the world after Japan and the US to have a carbon dioxide(CO2) monitoring satellite. Named Tansat, as “tan” is the Chinese word for carbon, the satellite moves around Earth at about

28、 700 kilometers above the ground. There, it can “see“ clearly how much CO2 there is in the air and how it is moving. 第 - 6 - 页 共 16 页 - 6 - How is TanSat able to do that? When sunlight travels through the air, the CO2 molecules (分子)take in different colors from the light. The satellite then looks at

29、 these colors to find out how much CO2 there is in the air. “The TanSat has very good vision (视力), and it can tell changes in CO2 as small as 1 percent,“ said Yin Zeng shan, one of the satellites designers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, according to Xinhua News Agency. But there is a question.

30、When CO2 can already be measured from ground stations, why do we need a satellite that does the same thing? The truth is that they dont do exactly the same thing. According to Zhang Peng, vice director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center, the data from ground stations is limited and it d

31、oes not cover the ocean area, which takes up more than 70 percent of Earths surface. But TanSat has solved the problem. It has a birds eye view of the Earth, covering both the land and the ocean. It can also change its mode(模式)and position when looking at the ocean area because the water can reflect

32、 light. This light may change the data if its normal mode is used. More importantly, China is now working on its goal of producing less CO2, starting from 2030 or earlier. To meet that goal, it will need to keep track of every bit of progress that its making. And with TanSat, China will have first-h

33、and, detailed data of CO2 emissions in different areas, provinces and parts of the ocean, no longer having to use data from Japan and the US. 28. Which of the following about TanSat is TRUE? A. It collects the CO2 in different areas above the ground. B. It gets CO2 data by studying the colors of air

34、. C. It has been developed with the help of Japan and the US. D. It has different modes to suit different weather conditions. 29. By reporting that the TanSat has very good “vision“, th article shows that . A. the satellite uses many different kinds of cameras. B. the satellite is very sensitive. C.

35、 the satellite can capture every change in CO2. D. the satellite can reflect light at 700 kilometers above the ground. 30. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? 第 - 7 - 页 共 16 页 - 7 - A. TanSat is specially designed to reduce Chinas CO2 emissions. B. China did not have any detailed data of

36、CO2 emissions before. C. TanSat will play a key role in helping to reduce Chinas CO2 emissions. D. China is going to share its data of CO2 emissions with other countries. 31. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Making great achievements B. Cutting CO2 emissions C. Monitoring the ocean D

37、. Checking more carbon D People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20 cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5 cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries between 1914 and 2014. The results reveal that whi

38、le Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5 cm. Latvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8 cm. James Bent

39、ham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition and healthcare. “An individuals genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role,“

40、 he added. A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. “Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy, he said. “This is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular (心血管的)disease among taller people.“ But while height has increased a

41、round the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased in Uganda and Nigeria during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds. “One reason for these decreases in

42、height is the economic situation in the 1980s,“ said Alexander Moradi of the University of Sussex. The nutritional and health crises that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full 第 - 8 - 页 共 16 页 - 8 - potential in terms of

43、 height. Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. “How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in,“ he said. “If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come

44、.“ 32. What does the global study tell us about peoples height in the last hundred years? A. There is a remarkable difference across continents. B. There has been a marked increase in most countries. C. The increase in peopled height has been quickening. D. The increase in womens height is bigger th

45、an in mens. 33. What does James Bentham say about genetics in the increase of peoples height? A. It counts less than generally thought. B. It outweighs nutrition and healthcare. C. It impacts more on an individual than on a population. D. It plays a more significant role in females than in males. 34

46、. What do we learn about 18-year-olds in Uganda and Nigeria? A. They grow up slower than their peers in other countries. B. They are actually shorter than their earlier generations. C. They find it hard to bring their potential into full play. D. They have experienced many changes of government. 35.

47、 What does James Bentham suggest we do? A. Watch closely the global trend in childrens development. B. Make sure that our children grow up to their full height. C. Try every means possible to improve our environment. D. Ensure our children grow up in an ideal environment. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，共 15 分)
