Queen Elizabeth is known for her devotion to her country, her close relationships with her family and, most importantly, her corgis.
Unfortunately, over the weekend she lost the last of her royal corgis, Willow. According to The Daily Mail, the 15-year-old dog had to be put to death after suffering a cancer-related illness. This marks the first time that the 91-year-old Queen is without a corgi in the royal household since World War II.
In 2015,Monty Roberts, the Queen's dog trainer, shared some details with Vanity Fair about her pets. Roberts encouraged Queen Elizabeth to continue breeding（繁殖）corgis， but， in her old age， she didn't want to leave any young dog behind. She did, however, adopt a full-grown Corgi named Whisper in 2017, after its owner, who was a gatekeeper at the palace, died.
It was also said that Queen Elizabeth was worried she'd trip over the dogs playing at her feet. It was a pretty real fear. Former royal staff Paul Burrell claimed that he was once tripped by nine corgis while walking them down the steps at the palace.
Willow was a dog with equally blue blood, although she never found social media stardom. It was a 14th-generation child of Susan, the corgi who was gifted to Elizabeth on her 18th birthday by her father, King George VI.
One of Willow's most memorable moments was posing with James Bond at the 2012 London Olympics. Holly, Queen's another corgi, also starred in the video, but she passed away more than a year ago, at the age of 13.
This is truly the end of an era, as Queen Elizabeth has owned more than 30 corgis throughout her life. At one point, she had 13 at once.
“She was sad for each loss of her corgis over the years, but she has been particularly upset about Willow's death,” a Buckingham Palace source told The Daily Mail. “It is probably because Willow was the last link to her parents and a pastime that goes back to her own childhood.”
24.What happened to Willow over the weekend according to The Daily Mail?
A. It was killed in a car accident.
C.It had an unsuccessful operation.
B.It was put to death.
D.It was found to have cancer.
25.Why did Queen Elizabeth stop breeding corgis according to Monty Roberts?
A.She was too weak to take care of the dogs.
B.She became tired of those crazy little dogs.
C.She was afraid that she'd trip over the dogs.
D.She was worried about the dogs after her death.
26.What do the underlined words “blue blood” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Noble ancestor.
C.Cold heart.
B.Bad mood.
D.Terrible disease.
27.What does Willow probably mean for Queen Elizabeth?
A.The end of an era.
C.A tie with her parents.
B.Her control over the country.
D.The hardship in her childhood.

China announced a long-awaited plan to integrate（融合）the southern Pearl River Delta Area （PRDA） as an attempt to create a powerhouse to rival（相匹敌）the US Silicon Valley that is home to such well-known companies as Google, Facebook and Apple. The possibilities and challenges of the effort are both equally promising and challenging.
The plan is a natural result of the economic and technological development in the area. China's opening up to the world more than four decades ago began in the south and PRDA has long been home to many of the country's leading technological companies, including Huawei and Tencent.
“The plan is promising,” said Adam Xu, an analyst at OC &. C Strategy Consultants. “If you really look at history in China, a lot of top-down plans always have very strong bottom-up support. And a lot of economic activities have already happened there. Now they have a big plan to officially recognize, promote and further accelerate.”
The key challenge will be execution（执行）. The plan has to integrate three different legal systems among Mainland China, Hongkong and Macau. That makes PRDA unique compared to the other two major areas in China-the Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin Area and the Yangtze River Delta Area near Shanghai.
“We don't know how effectively the top-down plan will guide the many independent growing forces at the local level,” Xu admitted. “This part will be quite an important challenge. ”
China has already taken major steps to overcome some of the physical barriers such as linking Hongkong with Guangzhou and Shenzhen by high-speed railways and its recent opening of the 55-kilometer Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge. But other barriers, such as the flow of people, information and money, may prove to be a bigger challenge.
Xu said, “The biggest challenge and the biggest beauty-if they eventually succeed-will be linking all of these together.”
28.What are paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The favorable conditions in PRDA.
B. The benefits of top-down plans in China.
C.PRDA's advantages over the Silicon Valley.
D.The flow of people, information and money.
29.Which challenge is unique in the Pearl River Delta Area?
A.The physical barriers.
C.The government control.
B.The cultural differences.
D.The different legal systems.
30.Which of the following cities are connected by the 55-kilometer bridge?
A.Shenzhen,Zhuhai,Macau.
C.Zhuhai,Macau,Hongkong.
B.Guangzhou,Shenzhen,Macau.
D.Guangzhou,Shenzhen,Hongkong.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A. The Different Legal Systems in Hongkong and Macau
B.The Possibilities and Challenges of Integrating PRDA
C.The Problems Facing China's Newly Announced Plans
D.The Fast Development in the Pearl River Delta Area

A new study published in Thursday's edition of Cell reports that mosquitoes' sense of smell is more complex than we once thought. And it may explain how they are so good at seeking us out in the darkness and lead to new strategies to fight against the potentially deadly diseases caused by their bites.
Until Meg Younger, co-author of the study, and her colleagues started studying mosquitoes, it's long been known that mosquitoes rely on multiple clues to target humans. First, they will sense the CO2 in the breath from a distance that can be more than 30 feet. After the CO2, then they begin to sense human body smells. They follow the odors（气味）and，when they get very close， start to detect body heat. Once they land on the skin, they look for a place to bite with their legs.
In many parts of the world, their bites may lead to such diseases as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and malaria. The latter disease alone causes over half a million deaths each year around the globe.
“But most of what we know about mosquitoes' sense of smell comes from the study of the brains of mice and fruit flies, where the pathways between the brain and smell detectors are fairly simple: Each neuron（神经元）in their smell detectors just responds to a single kind of smell and all the neurons for that smell are connected to the same part of their brains. Of course, there are countless different detectors responding to countless smells,” says Younger. “When we started looking inside mosquito brains, we found that each neuron can detect multiple smells.”
“It's a great breakthrough,” says Josefina del Marmol, a scientist at the Harvard Medical School who wasn't involved with the research. “It will change a lot about what we know of how mosquitoes interact with the world and give researchers additional ways to fight the bugs. But there's more work to be done to test, neuron by neuron, which neuron actually responds to which human body smells.”
32.What can be learned about mosquitoes from paragraph 2?
A. They look for a place to bite with their eyes.
B.They can only detect humans within 30 feet.
C.They are first attracted by human body smells.
D.They are more sensitive to the CO2 in the breath.
33. Which disease causes more than 0.5 million deaths each year in the world?
A.Malaria.
B.Zika.
C.Dengue.
D.Chikungunya.
34.What is Meg Younger's new discovery?
A.The pathways in the brains of mice are fairly simple.
B. A neuron in mosquitoes' detectors can detect many smells.
C.All the neurons for a smell are connected to the same part of the brain.
D.The neurons in fruit flies' brains just respond to a single kind of smell.
35.What does Josefina del Marmol say about the new study?
A.The process is not very complete.
B.The conclusion is not very reliable.
C.More specific tests have to be done.
D.The research method is too complex.

Tips to Learn Any Foreign Language
Know your motivation
It might sound obvious. But if you don't have a good reason to learn a language, you are less likely to stay motivated in the long run. But wanting to impress Chinese-speakers with your English isn't the best reason. 36.No matter what your motivation is, once you've decided on a language, it's vital to commit.
37
The key to learning as quickly as a child may be simply to take on certain childlike attitudes: a desire to play in the language and a willingness to make mistakes. It means being ready to put yourself in potentially embarrassing situations. 38 . But it's the only way to develop and improve your foreign language.
Have fun with it
Think of some fun ways to practise your new language: make a radio play with a friend, draw a comic picture, write a poem or simply practise by listening and copying songs.39_,chances are that you are going to give up eventually!
We have one more language-learning tip before we go. Remember that the best possible outcome of speaking a language is communicating with others. Being able to have a simple conversation is a huge reward in itself. Reaching milestones like that early on will make it easier to stay motivated and keep practising. And don't worry about your current speaking ability!40_,if you begin any interaction with “I have just started to learn this language and I'd like to practise with you.”
A.Act like a kid
B.This can be scary
C.Leave your comfort zone
D. Trying to know English culture is a better one
E. If you can't find a way to have fun with a new language
F.Most people will be patient, encouraging and happy to help
G. You're learning a language to be able to use when you go abroad

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Jordi, wake up!” my father calls in the hallway.
I quickly get up and pull on the uniform for our team. All my life, I've watched my parents compete. But I will participate in the human pyramid building for the first time today!
When we get there, the town square is already crowded. While we wait for our turn to compete, my friend Tomeu comes to stand with me. He and his family are also part of our team. Tomeu has competed before.
“What if I'm not ready for this, Tomeu?” I ask.
“We are never ready, Jordi. None of us who compete in the human pyramid building knows for sure how it will go,” he says and gestures toward the pyramid going up in front of us. “Just like those people, you must have faith in those below who lift you up, and you must trust yourself.”
I nod my head to show that I understand. I will do my best to follow his advice.
Soon, it is our turn. I gather with my team in the center of the square and turn my attention to the task at hand.
We must first make the base for our pyramid. My father and three of the strongest men stand in a circle facing each other as they hold tightly to each other's arms. Four more strong men step behind, each holding his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then as many as fifty more men and women crowd behind them and begin pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together. Four smaller men climb onto the backs of the original base group and stand on their shoulders. They then grab onto each other's arms and hold firmly, creating a strong second level. I can see that my father's face is red as he works hard to be strong for the person on his shoulders. Our pyramid is growing taller and taller and eventually it is my turn to climb to the top of the pyramid and stand on my mother's shoulders.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Climbing up the first two levels is easy.
“Focus. Balance,” My mother whispers to me.
