Still, when a coach first asked Lopez to join his program, her mom hesitated she never thought her daughter would want to be a wrestler.Lopez is among a growing number of girls who are taking up wrestling. Officials with youth organizations in Chicago and the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) said theyve seen the number of girls participating in the sport take off in recent years.In Lopezs program, about half of the students participating in the organizations free youth wrestling camp this summer are girls, coach Frankie Zepeda said.Many of the girls Zepeda sees bee interested in wrestling through their brothers, he said.“They probably just learn to fight back,” he said.One of those was Yamilet Aguirre. She took up wrestling because she was bored just watching her brother wrestle, she said.“I can have fun doing it,” she said. “And I can prove girls are just as strong as boys are.”Though girls have peted on high school wrestling teams in Illinois for years, coaches and female wrestlers said there werent many participating a decade ago.“Its really picked up over the last few years,” said Jim Considine, president of the IKWF.Between the 2015-16 and 2017-18 seasons, the number of girls registered with IKWF grew from 363 to 503, and more of the organizations events are featuring a girls-only division. Girls and boys wrestle together during the season through IKWF, but theres a girls-only championship at the end of the year.And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.“Female wrestling isnt something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said. “Things have happened so quickly. Ten years ago, youd never have dreamed of doing this.”24. What has helped her take up wrestling, in Yamilet Aguirres case?A. Her wish to be stronger than boys.B. Her awareness to protect girls.C. Her parents expectations.D. The experience of watching wrestling petitions.25. The underlined word “option” is closest in meaning to _.A. challenge B. chance C. choice D. change26. What can we learn about female wrestling in the US from the article?A. Its popularity in college is declining.B. Its still unacceptable in many peoples eyes.C. It has been accepted by colleges.D. College girls like it less than dancing.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?A. A Female Sport EventB. Not Just for BoysC. The Great Sports PersonalityD. Make Way for Male WrestlersCWhen we talk about famous UK writer Agatha Christie, it seems that her famous detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are must-reads. So, of course, are her best-selling novels Murder on the Orient Express (1934) and Death on the Nile (1937).But when the readers around the world were asked to name their favorite Christie novel to mark her 125th birthday on Sept 15, And Then There Were None (1939) topped the list, reported The Guardian.It may surprise you to learn that it is a crime novel without a detective. What it does have is suspense (n.悬念) and a very sinister (adj.邪恶的) atmosphere. It is “on a knife edge”, as Mathew Prichard, Christies grandson, told the newspaper.Ten people get an invitation to e to a house on a small island near Devon in South West England. Nobody refuses these invitations since each one promises something the person wants: a job, a holiday, a chance to meet up again with an old friend .These people are all responsible for deaths. Some are directly responsible, others are responsible because of what they did not do. Anthony James Marston, for instance, killed two children while driving dangerously. He did not feel guilty and actually plained when he was banned from driving. Another, Emily Caroline Brent, is a harsh person who threw out a young servant for being pregnant while unmarried. The servant later killed herself.When they arrive at the house they are played a recording. The voice gives details of the wrongdoing of each of the guests. Starting with Marston, each is killed in a way that fits their crime. The series of deaths is pleted with a hanging, “and then there were none”, as the title suggests.Christie can be quite a predictable writer. Some of her stories are a little unoriginal. But this book is full of clever writing. Look it up to find out what this hugely successful mystery writer, the “Queen of Crime” as she was called, could do at her best.28. All of the following are Agatha Christies works EXCEPT _.A. Queen of CrimeB. Death on the NileC. And Then There Were NoneD. Murder on the Orient Express29. What makes Then There Were None more astonishing ?A. The unique theme offered by Agatha Christie.B. The criminal plot without a detective.C. The attractive place shown in the novel.D. The varied characters created by Agatha Christie. 30. According to the author, the title of the novel suggests that _.A. no guests survive in the endB. no detectives appear in the novelC. there are no mysteries in the novelD. nobody is to blame for the deaths of the guests31. Which of following is TRUE about the novel And Then There Were None?A. All the people in the novel have killed someone before.B. Ten innocent people are killed on a small island.C. The people in the novel accept the invitations because of something they are offered.D. A detective finds out who is responsible for the peoples deaths in the end.DMany science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is being reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature. Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction pared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on snorkeling ( 潜水), netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is being popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian(两栖动物)diseases.Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction (灭绝) of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mudsnail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.32. pared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more_.A. plex B. eco-friendly C. dangerous D. convincing33. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has_.A. succeeded in catching many fishesB. found the existence of golden treefrogsC. documented the spread of softshell turtlesD. confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho34. What can we infer from the last paragraph ?A. Robots will replace scientists soon.B. Some scientists are against using eDNA.C .The old-fashioned field work may disappear.D. Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Science Fiction Bees Reality for Species Surveys B. Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNAC. Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of Life D. New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Not all English is the sameTo many learners of English, its easy to think that all native speakers have no trouble municating with one another. 36 Well, it turns out that being a native English speaker from one country doesnt mean that youre able to perfectly understand a native English speaker from another country, and vice versa (反之亦然)Take the UK and the US for example.As a Briton, I grew up hearing American accents alongside British ones on TV shows, movies and in songs. 37 and how they would eat “cookies” instead of “biscuits”. And it took me a while to figure out that the “trunk” (n. 后备箱) of a car is what us Britons call its “boot”.The confusion didnt stop at just vocabulary 38 For example, when talking about shopping malls, Americans pronounce it “mawl” instead of “mal”. And for some reason thats hard for Britons to understand, Americans remove the “H” sound from “herb”, pronouncing it “erb”.These small differences may not change much in a day-to-day conversation between a Briton and an American. 39 Recently, for example, an American friend told me that she liked my pants. “You can see them?” I asked, shocked. Pants means “underpants” to most British people, which explains my horror. 40 In the US, for example, a “bum” is a homeless person, while the same word in the UK is used to describe ones backside（n.臀部）.And, more amusingly, “trump” was only ever really used as a verb in the UK meaning “to pass gas” until the US current president came into the spotlight.But as long as you can speak one version of English, its easy enough to understand any other and any confusion just makes your day more interesting.A. English is changing as it spreads around the world.B. After all, English is English, isnt it?C. I soon noticed how Americans would put “gas” in their cars instead of “petrol” .D. However, confusion can still happen every now and then.E. There are different words that mean the difficult thing.F. Some words can even be offensive (adj.无礼的) without you realizing it.G. I discovered that many words are even pronounced differently.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。At thirteen, I was diagnosed with kind of attention disorder.
