1985. When the store first opened, it was one of four grocery stores in town. Now, it's the last one 3 . Since there was no one in his family who could continue running it, John 4 selling it and put the store on the 5 three years ago. Although he got some interest, no 6 came in. 7 , he pulled the store off the market, as he worried that whoever bought the building might not continue the grocery store, which would make life harder for people in the community — especially those without 8 to a vehicle.

4、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character's suffering? If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. Empathy is a magic eye that sees into other people's hearts and it can be learned through various fictions.
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. Many more areas of your brain light up when you're enjoying a story, and your brain thinks you are in the story. .
Empathy helps you to read people's emotions and work out the best way to respond. This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael's High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. Their empathy also stimulated them to raise £1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war.
Reading encourages us to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial outcomes. Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. .
A. Apart from those, reading has another benefit.
B. In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
C. This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools.
D. This permits people to understand the emotions that others are feeling.
E. This means you experience the characters' thoughts as if they were real.
F. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance.
G. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.

5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Sonia Kleindorfer was a new director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Austria. At her institute, Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose, which made Kleindorfer feel a certain amount of pressure. "I can do five, but when the next five come, I start to have a mental meltdown," she says. So she contacted a more technically-minded colleague and asked him: Could he write a program to distinguish these faces?
He said, yes, but he'd need a database of geese photos to work with. Kleindorfer got her team out there, snapping pictures of the geese from every angle. After building the database, they wrote a piece of facial recognition AI that could ID a goose, by looking at specific features of its beak (喙). After a couple of years, the team reports that their goose recognition software is now about 97% accurate.
"Geese have such drama—there are archrivals (劲敌), and jealousy and retribution (报答)," Kleindorfer says. To find out how faces figured into this drama, she presented the geese with full-sized pictures of themselves, their partners, or another member of the flock. She showed evidence that geese seemed to recognize photos of their partners and friends, but not themselves. For further study, Sonia Kleindorfer hopes birdwatchers will someday be able to snap a picture of a goose, ID it, and share its location with scientists. But she adds, just remember, her new research suggests that bird watching goes both ways: Geese can remember faces too. "If you are ever not kind to a goose," she warns, "that goose may find you again."
Kleindorfer thinks that facial recognition is going to play a really important role in conservation and ecology. "We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in computer science," she says. "But working together, I think we can do this."
(1)、What was the problem of Sonia Kleindorfer at work?A、She was always stressed. B、She was not able to count the geese. C、She suffered a mental illness. D、She couldn't recognize all the geese.(2)、How does the program distinguish the geese?A、By snapping pictures of the geese. B、By presenting the full-sized pictures. C、By identifying the beaks in the photos. D、By building the database of the geese.(3)、What is the finding of the new research?A、Birdwatching is a dangerous activity. B、Geese can locate and find human beings. C、Geese have the ability of facial recognition. D、Birdwatchers can snap a picture of a goose.(4)、What does Kleindorfer stress in the last paragraph?A、Science training. B、Computer science. C、Photo-taking skills. D、Cross-subject study. -
6、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals (哺乳动物), a good night's sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness (无知觉) during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn't such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish's bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.
The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is wide-reaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current, such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night's sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world's underwater mammals have to deal with.
To prevent themselves from drowning (溺死) in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to "turn off" one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal's vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that's still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.
(1)、What does the underlined word "slumber" in paragraph 1 mean?A、Rest. B、Sleep. C、Danger. D、Activity.(2)、Why is it hard to define sleep for fish?A、Because fish remain partially awake. B、Because fish need short resting time. C、Because fish possess no consciousness. D、Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.(3)、What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals?A、Hiding in sand. B、Riding the current. C、Finding spots to rest. D、Breathing while sleeping.(4)、How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep?A、By sleeping less. B、By adapting to the sea. C、By surfacing periodically. D、By controlling their breath. -

Location
St Helena is one of the remotest islands on Earth. The subtropical (亚热带的) British Overseas Territory sits in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, 1,200 miles from the west coast of Africa and 1,800 miles from the east coast of South America.
Size Population
St Helena is only 16 km long and 9 km wide and the population is 5,
000. This is 1/3 the size of the Isle of Wight, and the same size as Disney World Orlando. This is also the same size as San Francisco―yet the island has just
0.5% of San Francisco's population. With an extremely low-crime community, you can freely explore the island's natural and built attractions in peace.
Climate
As a subtropical island, St Helena's temperature is 15-28℃ all year round. While the four seasons are not recognized on St Helena, the "cooler months" are generally June to September and the "hotter months" are December to March. St Helena is free from extreme weather events, with even thunderstorms only occurring perhaps once a decade.
Accessibility
Until 2017, St Helena did not have an airport and was only accessible by sea. Reaching the island meant a five-day ship voyage from Cape Town, South Africa. However, since October 2017, the island's first and only airport has enabled passengers to reach the island in just a six-hour flight.
(1)、In what aspect are St Helena and San Francisco alike?A、Area. B、Population. C、Climate. D、Crime rate.(2)、What can best describe the climate of St Helena?A、Tropical. B、Dry. C、Extreme. D、Mild.(3)、How could visitors gain entry into St Helena before 2017?A、By plane. B、By ship. C、By car. D、By bike. -

Alan Robinson and Walter Macfarlane have been friends for 60 years. Born in Hawaii 15 months apart, they met in the sixth grade and played football together at a Honolulu prep school.
Macfarlane never knew his father, and Robinson was adopted. Separately, they sought answers about their ancestry (n.祖先,血统). Macfarlane turned to family history and DNA-matching websites to learn more about it after unsuccessful searches on the internet and social media. "So then we started digging into all the matches (n.匹配) he started getting," said his daughter, Cindy Macfarlane-Flores.
A top match - someone with identical X chromosomes (n.X染色体)- had the username Robi 737.Robison's nickname was Robi and he flew 737s for Aloha Airlines, Macfarlane-Flores said.
It tuned out Robinson used the same website to find answers about his family. They later learned they have the same birth mother.

20、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
An undersea tunnel (n.隧道) of a high-speed railway was completed in South China on Friday,(set) a new record in the construction of high-speed railway tunnels in China.
The Zhanjiang Bay (湛江湾) Undersea Tunnel, a key project of the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-speed Railway,(complete) after 33 months of construction, marking a significant milestone in the construction of the new railway.
The Zhanjiang Bay Undersea Tunnel spans (v.横跨)total length of 9,640 meters. It is designed as a single tunnel with double tracks, crossing the seabed of the Zhanjiang Bay and the urban area of Zhanjiang. It crosses a 2,500-meter sea section and a 5,051-meter section of land.(especial), the tunnel is China's(long) single-headed undersea high-speed railway shield tunnel (盾构隧道), showcasing the country's remarkable engineering techniques.
"Single-headed shield (单头盾构) refers to the method of using a single tunnel boring machine (隧道掘进机) (dig) continuously from one end to the other," said Yin Yihao, an engineer from China Railway's 14th Bureau Group, which was responsible for the tunnel's construction. Yin added that the traditional methods were not applied in the Zhanjiang Bay Undersea Tunnel due to the complicated geological conditions andthe single-headed shield tunnel was (safe) and more efficient in this case.
Wu Chunzhao, a senior engineer of the China Railway Design Company,(explain) the reason for building an undersea tunnel instead of a bridge. "Building a tunnel preserves (v.保护) the beautiful urban skyline of the Zhanjiang Bay,avoids the impact of the project on the marine (adj.海洋的) ecological environment," he said. Wu also noted (v.指出) that a bridge will affect the large ships' navigation, but the tunnel will not do this.
The tunnel is a key project of a high-speed railway linking Guangzhou and Zhanjiang in Guangdong.
