culty in understanding what native English speakers say in daily
life, there is a whole new world of brilliant podcast(播客) series
to explore. If you aren''t sure where to start, have a look at the
se：The Joe Rogan Experience★★★★★The Joe Rogan Experience is a gre
at learning device because of its interesting English conversatio
ns between Rogan and his guests. At the time of writing there hav
e been over 1，660 episodes with subjects ranging from comedy and
science to politics and sports. Rogan is also a famous stand-up c
omedian, so the show is full of cultural references and idioms.Th
is American Life★★★★★This American Life is a great choice for Eng
lish learners who want an insight into the culture of the USA. It
is a mixture of journalism and storytelling, focusing on real-li
fe tales from citizens of all regions of the country. The stories
are new and varied. One episode was taped for 24 hours in an all
-night restaurant; another interviewed workers on strike.The Writ
er''s Voice★★★★☆TheNewYorker is a famous American magazine, and ev
ery week it prints a new short story. In this podcast, the week''s
story is read aloud by its writer. The published work covers a w
ide range of life experiences across the United States and beyond
. It''s a great way to enjoy some of the best new fiction in the c
ountry.Overheard at National Geographic★★★★★NationalGeographic is
a much-loved American magazine (and TV channel) famous for incre
dible stories and photography related to science and the environm
ent. Overheard is about the discussions Nat Geo employees have ha
d while taking breaks. Expect crazy stories from explorers, photo
graphers, and scientists from around the world.21. In order to fu
lly enjoy these podcasts, you should ________．A. have interaction
with hosts B. have good English competenceC. be interested in
being a podcaster D. be familiar with American social life22.
Which podcast gives you more stories behind the scene?A. The Wri
ter''s Voice. B. This American Life.C. The Joe Rogan Experience
. D. Overheard at National Geographic.23. What do these podcas
ts have in common?A. They enjoy great popularity. B. Their sto
ries are set in America.C. They are attached to magazines. D.
Their works are updated weekly.BThe climate change in California
has caused terrible damage to California’s marine ecosystems. Unt
old billions of sea stars, or starfish, from at least 20 species
disappeared from the entire Pacific coast because of the marine h
eatwaves. In the absence of sunflower sea stars, a major predator
for sea urchins (海胆), the urchin populations exploded. They laid
waste to kelp forests (海草林) already weakened by high ocean tempe
ratures. However, Central California’s kelp ecosystems have done
somewhat better than those in Northern California. A new study le
d by Joshua Smith, an ecologist at the University of California,
examines the role sea otter (海獭) populations — a natural predator
for urchins — play in preserving existing kelp forests in the Mo
nterey Bay. The research project spanned three years, during whic
h intensive under-water surveys produced some very interesting da
ta about sea otter behavior. Sea otters have very high metabolism
s (新陈代谢) that keep them warm in icy waters and which also make th
em greedy consumers of shellfish, urchin, and fish — sea otters c
an eat 25 percent of their body weight in food in a day. At the o
bserved sites, as the urchin population grew, the otter’s diet sh
ifted to become more heavily dependent on urchins. In fact, the o
tters were eating three times as many urchins as they had been be
fore 2014. As a result, they provided crucial protection from urc
hins to the kelp forests. The fact that otters were able to contr
ibute to the health of the surviving kelp forests by keeping urch
in populations in check provides Smith with hope for the forests’
continued survival. “The important thing is that the urchins are
ultimately reduced,” he says. “The sea otters have maintained pa
tches of kelp forest that can then help refill the barren areas t
o enhance the recovery of forests.” 24. What influence does clima
te change have on California’s marine ecosystems?A. A greater div
ersity of marine species. B. The disappearance of urchins. C. A
n explosive growth of sea stars. D. The weakening of kelp fores
ts. 25. What is the study led by Joshua Smith about?A. Urchins’ r
esponse to ocean warming. B. The reproduction of marine animals
. C. Otters’ role in protecting kelp forests. D. The current co
ndition of marine ecosystems. 26. What is a direct result of the
shift in otters’ diet?A. The otters are more likely to stay warm.
B. The shellfish populations have exploded. C. Urchins’ threat
to kelp forests is relieved. D. The kelp forests have made a f
ull recovery. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for
the text?A. Sea Otters to the Rescue B. Marine Species in Danger
C. Urchins Are Destroying Kelp Forests D. Otters Increase Kelp F
orests’ Carbon StorageCA new Northwestern University study reaffi
rms the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. By examining
fruit flies’ brain activity and behavior, the researchers found t
hat deep sleep has the power to clear waste from the brain. This
waste potentially includes poisonous proteins that may lead to ne
urodegenerative (神经退化) diseases. “Waste clearance could be import
ant, in general, for maintaining brain health or for preventing n
eurodegenerative diseases,” said Dr. Allada, senior author of the
study. “Waste clearance may occur during wake and sleep but is g
reatly strengthened during deep sleep.”Although fruit flies seem
very different from humans, the neurons (神经元) that govern flies’
sleep-wake cycles are strikingly similar to our own. For this rea
son, fruit flies have become a well-studied model organism for sl
eep and neurodegenerative diseases.In this current study, Allada
and his team examined Proboscis (针状喙) Extension Sleep, a deep-sle
ep stage in fruit flies, which is similar to deep, slow-wave slee
p in humans. The researchers discovered that, during this stage f
ruit flies repeatedly extend and move back their proboscises. “Th
is kind of movement moves fluids possibly to the fly version of k
idneys (肾),” Allada said. “Our study shows that this promotes was
te clearance and aids in injury recovery.”When Allada’s team dist
urbed flies’ deep sleep, the flies were less able to clear the wa
ste from their systems and were more likely to be influenced by i
njuries.Allada said this study brings us closer to understanding
the mystery of why all organisms need sleep. All animals, especia
lly those in the wild, are incredibly weak when they sleep, but r
esearch increasingly shows that the benefits of sleep, including
crucial waste removal, are greater than this increased weakness.2
8 How did the researchers draw the conclusion of their study?A. B
y working out the result by chance.B. By predicting the result fr
om the old data.C. By making observation and analysis.D. By makin
g a range of comparisons.29. What does the underlined word “this”
in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. The disturbance of fruit fli
es’ deep sleep.B. The governing of fruit flies’ sleep-wake cycles
.C. The moving of fluids to the fruit flies’ kidneys.D. The exten
sion and moving of fruit flies’ proboscises.30. What is mainly ta
lked about in the last paragraph?A. The fact that all organisms n
eed sleep.B. The application of the result of the study.C. The di
sadvantages of the sleep of animals.D. The great value of mankind
’s and animals’ sleep.31. Which of the following is a suitable ti
tle for the text?A. Studies on Proboscis Extension SleepB. Deep S
leep Takes Out the Brain TrashC. Different Functions of Waste Cle
aranceD. Similarities of Sleep-Wake Cycles Between Fruit Flies an
d HumansDIt is lunchtime. At a long table inside a restaurant, so
me young people sit together over lunch. There is less conversati
on than you might expect from a typical group of friends: a boy s
eems to talk only to himself, and a girl looks anxious.These youn
g people met through a program organized by the nonprofit Actionp
lay，where young people with autism(自闭症) work together to write an
d stage a musical. Each Sunday, they work and have lunch together
. “You meet other people just like you，” says Lexi Spindel. “That
was the first time my daughter had a friend，” says Lexi''s father
. “That never happened before Actionplay.”For decades, scientists
have supposed people with autism don''t have or need friends. A n
ew research is forcing a rethink of those long-held beliefs. Auti
stic people report they want friends. One significant barrier to
friendships is common people''s opinion that autistic people are n
ot interested in connecting with them. Appearing uninterested, ho
wever, is not always the same as being uninterested. An autistic
child looking uninterested in games may in fact be overcome by th
e noise. And behaviors like clapping hands repeatedly are a way t
o manage their anxiety and uncertainty, not a sign of their low s
ocial interest.For some autistic people, friendships develop thro
ugh experimental programs. In a program Lerner developed, partici
pants play a game called Gibberish, where teenagers must interpre
t each other''s intentions without using real language. The point
is not to get it right, but to attend to what the other person is
doing in a way that creates opportunities to connect.Lerner''s id
eas were inspired by a moment 16 years ago after he established a
small camp for children with autism called Spotlight. On the sec
ond day, an 11-year-old boy ran up and pulled his clothes. “Lerne
r, Lerner, where did you find these kids？”“All over the place，” L
erner answered. “Everyone wants to come to camp, just like you.”“
This__is__the__first__normal__group__of__kids__I__have__ever__met
，” the boy said.32. The scene in Paragraph 1 is described to ____
____．A. reveal the lack of an interpersonal conversationB. prove
the difficulty in reducing teenage anxietyC. stress the great nec
essity of forming friendshipsD. show the different behavior of a
particular group33. What is Actionplay aimed at?A. Curing young p
eople of autism.B. Developing autistic people''s taste in art.C. O
ffering autistic people a social platform.D. Improving young peop
le''s family relationship.34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A
. Autistic people have no intention to make friends.B. Noise sets
barriers to autistic people''s views on games.C. Repetitive movem
ents make autistic people feel secure.D. Common beliefs cause aut
istic people''s low social interest.35. What does the underlined s
entence imply?A. He feels at ease with his autistic fellows.B. He
no longer regards himself as an autistic kid.C. Lerner''s guidanc
e helps him get out of autism.D. Autistic kids don''t long to soci
alize with normal ones.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

ly was different. While other kids went to the beach for summer v
acation, he and his mom visited the world’s largest basket, or th
e world’s largest baseball bat, or the world’s largest fork. Thes
e are real things. And Cody’s mom had photos of them during those
trips hanging on the wall. As a little kid, Cody thought these v
acations were the best ever. But with time going by, he started t
o feel embarrassed. When his classmates would ask where he’d gone
for vacation, he’d say, “No place special.”On a Sunday morning,
his mom said, “I was reading this article about the world’s large
st gathering of people dressed as turkeys. It was in Texas, and i
t was only 661 people! Five times as many people live in our town
. I want to hold a similar event here around Thanksgiving Day, wh
ich is a few weeks away.”“Mom,” Cody said. “No.”“Yes!” Mom said.
“I just called the newspaper. The announcement runs tomorrow. The
day after Thanksgiving, everyone will meet in the town square —
dressed as turkeys!”A few days before Thanksgiving, Cody and his
mom sat down for dinner. Cody set down his fork. “Do you have any
idea what the kids at school think about the turkey dress-up?”“N
o,” Mom said. “Well, they have a lot to say.”Mom looked down at h
er fingernails, then looked at Cody. “I’m afraid it’s too late to
call it off, sweetie.” At last, it was the day of the great turk
ey dress-up. But instead of bouncing around the house as she’d been all week, Mom was sitting on the living-room floor, shoulders slumped (耷拉着). “I can’t believe the DJ is sick,” she said. “What am I going to do? Music is what makes a festivity festive!
