One was my little sister, the other a best friend of 30 years. I miss them. They are still in my heart, and there theyll remain.Sadly, when I moved to another city 8 years ago, I didnt get to see them as much as I wanted to. Something always seemed to get in my way - work, my dogs and, yes, the money to fly up for regular visits.I was too late to whisper in their ears what they meant to me and to thank them for the joy they had given me. And this is something I regret. But instead of blindly blaming myself, Id rather learn from this hardest of lessons.Ive resolved to put those I love before everything from now on - to make keeping in touch a priority (优先) and to enjoy time with them while they are here.In fact, I have decided I am going to take something positive from their loss and enjoy everything more. To not put anything off I can do straight away. To enjoy everything I own. Why? Its as John Lennon said, “life is what happens while youre busy making other plans.”After the funerals (葬礼) of my darlings, I watched as their families dealt with what to do with their possessions. It reminded me of sorting out my mothers things after her death and the sadness that brought me.Ive given up trying to “get ahead” in life; now my priority is myself and the people and things that make me happy.And so, this week I will go to Italy to watch my favorite show - a joyous event that I wont be able to enjoy “some day in the future”. And all those pretty dresses I dont wear because they cost too much to clean will be worn.And I am going to remind those I love that this is the case, not just in writing but face to face and as often as I can. Because leaving anything for later is taking the risk that later may never arrive.25. How did the author feel when those she loved passed away?A. Fearful B. Hopeless C. PuzzledD. Regretful26. What lesson did the author learn from the death of her loved ones?A. Life is too short. B. It is painful to lose those we love.C. We should value the moment with loved ones. D. We should be prepared for something bad in life.27. What does the underlined word “resolved” probably mean?A. planned B. agreed C. expectedD. decided28. What can we learn about the author from the article?A. She finds it difficult to make a living. B. She doesnt have many good friends.C. She can deal with bad things positively. D. She always cares about her family and friendsCMy first week in the United States was a cultural shock. Everything felt new to me, including the style of conversation, the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate.In our community back home, people eat mutton and chicken. Pork and beef are also common among other communities, but eating beef is taken as an illegal act. Unlike Nepal, eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism.Food is just an example. When people move from one part of the world to another, they should adapt（适应）themselves to the new culture. For example, going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community, but it is common in the US after a certain age.I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal. We have a conservative（保守的，谨慎的）opinion towards marriage. Arranged marriages（包办婚姻）are common in which families decide whether the two should get married. Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen. Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible.To me, culture is a matter of habit. The culture is so deep-rooted in peoples minds that most people are against changes. It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life. It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.However, with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people, one always comes across different cultures. In such cases, one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow. The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.29What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat?APork. BBeef. CChicken.DMutton.30What can we learn from the passage?AMost westerners believe in Hinduism. BGetting drunk in Nepal is acceptable.CAnyone can enter the bars in the US. DThe writer came across a cultural shock.31Which may be seen most in Nepal?AOpen marriages. BFree love marriages.CSame-sex marriage.DArranged marriages.32What is the writers attitude to different cultures?ANegative.BRespectful. CConservative.DIndifferent.DIt happens every spring. Flowers suddenly burst out everywhere on the same day. But how exactly do plants “know” when to flower?It is a question that has puzzled biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it-the secret lies in a protein(蛋白质) called FKF1 which allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell the seasons are changing. They found that the protein can be activated (激活) by sunlight.Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there is no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein wont be activated. But when spring comes and the days get longer, the protein can be activated by day-light and the plants “know” it is time to flower.Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in some experimental plants, they believe it is similar in many other plants, including crops like rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to increase crop production by speeding or delaying this.” said Takato Imaizumi, assistant professor at the University of Washington and leader of the study. “Also, if we could control the timing of flowering in horticultural (园艺的) plants, they may be worth more commercially (商业上)”New technology based on this research might also lead to higher production of biofuel (生物燃料) plants. This would be helpful for providing energy.33. How do plants know when to flower?A. They receive messages from other plants.B. A certain protein tells them the time to flower.C. They are genetically (基因遗传上) timed to flower.D. Sunlight produces a certain protein in them to help them flower.34. What can we learn from the article?A. We are getting closer to controlling plant flowering times.B. Plants are more sensitive to cold weather and shorter days.C. When there is no sunlight, the FKF1 protein wont be produced.D. Researchers have studied how the FKF1 works in rice and wheat.35.The study mentioned in the article may help us understand how to _.A. increase the number of species of horticultural plantsB. increase production in the agricultural industryC. have plants that flower all year roundD. produce more chemical energy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。Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud. 36 After walking into a store, its possible that youll see Huawei-smartphones for sale.This isnt referring to China, but Manchester, UK. 37 Indeed, Chinese products have gone global.38 But to meet local peoples tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes.“One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia.“We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here dont. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.”39 In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters.More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. Theyre not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country.In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. 40For example, Huawei, one of Chinas major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June last year, noted consulting(咨询) firm Counterpoint Research.“They are beautiful and offer some unique features American phones dont have,” CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.A. Many Chinese brands are also becoming more popular.B. What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands?C. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities around the world.D.
