A heavy snowfall covered the ground of the nursing home as I pulled into the parking lot. On Saturday mornings the facility was quieter, without all the office personnel and sales sentatives. I enjoyed weekends and liked working as the charge nurse here. My Big Boys，as I called them, were sitting there watching TV. I loved the stories these retired men of various occupations told. There were and businessmen alike enjoying the questions I asked them about their youths. My question that day was, "Did you like to play in the snow when you were young?"
They were excited after hearing my question. All of them had a story to tell about the snowmen they built or the games they played in the snow.
"But I haven' t felt snow in many years," said Stanley from his wheelchair. The men gazed longingly out of the large picture window.
"Snow won't last long," said another. I saw the little boys inside these elderly men. I wondered... could I...dared I? Why not? I might get reprimanded, but I would not get fired.
I gathered up some huge containers and went out of the back door, filling all the containers with snow. I took the first container of snow inside to Stanley. "Do you remember making a snowball?"
Stanley smiled, reached, took a handful of the snow and began forming a ball. " Who would you like to throw it at?" I asked. "Tom! " Stanley shouted as he threw the ball at the man near the door. Then all the men got into the action.
" Better duck!" one man warned.
" Catch this one ! " another challenged.
The fights lasted until the snow was melted and the floor looked like a water line. Their smiles and energy brightened the day.
Outside, snow was still falling. I was surrounded by an act of smiling. Maybe I made a mistake, but I think it is worth a risk for me when seeing the Little Boys inside these Big Boys. 24. From the text, we know Big Boys refers to .

Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird( published in 1960) , which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in US schools. In 2007 Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature. Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared.
The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she hinted that she had a story in progress.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to consent to(赞成) the manuscript' s release, and that various patties had signed on her behalf.
Though Lee moved in 1949 to New York, she spent many years guarding her privacy in Monroeville, which served as clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. Like the countless Americans knew her only through her work, they will undoubtedly miss her. 28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Harper Lee .
A. once starred in a film adapted from her novel
B. made great contributions to American literature
C. was a most productive writer in America
D. was the greatest writer in American history
29. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A. She was afraid to be criticized.
B. She wanted to write another story.
C. She didn't want to be bothered.
D. She needed to care for her sister.
30. From the text, we know Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman . A. continues the story of her earlier story
B. won her lots of honors and awards
C. is adapted into a famous film
D. tells the story of herself 31. What can be inferred about Harper Lee from the last paragraph?
A. She died in 2014 of a stroke.
B. She led a lonely life in her later life.
C. She didn' t want to help others.
D. She will certainly be remembered.
D
Nearly two-thirds of U. S. households, or 80 million homes, have pets and Americans spent more than $60 billion on them last year, according to the American Pet Products Association. "The number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and that opens up the market,"said Peter Harrop, chairman of IDTechEx, a technology market research firm. "I' m sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we can't imagine. "
Already, there are devices that let your pets call you (PetChatz) , play games and win treats when they're home alone (CleverPet) and even speak with a human voice

My shoe lesson number one
Back in my days as a consumer advocate(推销员），I was on my way to deliver a speech in Newfoundland. Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, my mind was bobbing aimlessly on an ocean of emptiness. Suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had forgotten my dress shoes at home. Yikes! I was wearing running
shoes for an important speech.
I know, I could buy a new pair when I landed. It was too late, and the stores were already closed.
What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. Ninety
seconds later, however, my cold sweat had miraculously been replaced with a single idea.
The next morning, I began my speech: “ You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today.
Well, it’s about this request her. When I’m done speaking, I’ll be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.”
My little “good-up” became a clever demonstration of action speaking louder than words.
My shoes lesson number two
My brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they
were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wife’s sandal broke. She tried walking in it, but in vain. So off to the nearest shoe store we quickly went. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.
That day, my wife performed a miracle that no other woman had done before or since. She went into the
store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of sandals---breaking the old
woman-shopping-for-shoes Olympic record into pieces!
Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, country to popular belief, the shoes does not make the man
（or woman). But the lack of shoes can build character.
24. How does the author impress you with his first shoe story?
A. He was very intelligent.
B. He was too ambitious.
C. He was strict and careful.
D. He was really strict.
25. What does the underline word “goof-up probably mean?
A. Image B. Mistake C. Success D. Present
26. Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it______.
A. Unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time.
B. A great pity to have to miss his brother’s wedding
C. Important to test the quality of a new pair of shoes
D. Strange to be in a difficult situation for a second time
27. What message does the author convey through the text?
A.emergencies can help shape our character.
B.It’s hard to charge our character overnight.
C.You can never judge a person by his looks.
D.Never buy shoes without trying them on first.
C
Tens of millions of years ago, an asteroid(小行星）hit what is now the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The
event led to a global mass extinction that has been linked to the end of the dinosaurs. New research shows what that great disaster led to is a modern age of fish.
Sixty-six million years ago, the ocean was a different place. Sharks and octopus-like creatures were powerful. But scientist Elizabeth Sibert ways there were other important species as well. “ There were also many reptiles(爬行动物）in the ocean that were swimming around. And of course there were fish. Absolutely there were ray-finned fish around. It’s just that they weren’t very dominant（占优势的）.”
Ms. Sibert is a graduate student at the University of California. She and her professor compared fossil fish
teeth and shark scales in sediment（沉淀物）that dated before and after the mass death. “ Basically the deeper down you get, the older you get. So we looked at sediments from 75 million years ago to about 45 million years ago, looking every 200,000 years in some cases, and every 10,000 years in other cases.”
Fossil evidence showed that the ratio(比率）of fish to shark changed sharply after the asteroid hit. “ We see
that instead of having about equal number of shark fossils and fish fossils, we see that the fish fossils more double and that trend continues while the shark fossils stay more or less the same.” Ms. Sibert explains.
The study suggests that the mass extinction killed many animals at both the top and bottom of the ocean food chain. This permitted animals in the middle of the chain to increase their numbers. Those animals are the
ray-finned fish that represent nearly all fish species today.
Ms. Sibert says her next step is to go back to the micro-fossil record. She will try to learn from it how the fish dealt with other stresses in the ocean, like global warming.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. There were more sharks than reptiles before the asteroid event.
B. Fish were already very powerful before the asteroid event.
C. The dinosaurs disappeared partly because of the asteroid event.
D. Animals on the land suffered more from the event than those in the ocean.
29. In her research, Ms. Sibert studied sediments covering ______.
A. 10,000 years B. 75 million years
C. 200,000 years D. 30 million years
30. After the asteroid hit, ________.
A. the number of sharks almost doubled
B. the number of fish fossils fell greatly
C. the number of sharks didn’t change much
D. the number of fish and sharks became equal
31. What could be the best title for the text?
A. The Base of Ocean Food Chain
B. Why Did the Dinosaurs Die Out
C. Asteroid Event Leads to Rise of Fish
D. Global Warming and the Dinosaurs

Cats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior. Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual. In that case, we humans needn’t bother to offer a great deal of help.
There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕
食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably
smaller than the outdoor environment of their yards or neighborhoods. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers or potential prey（猎物）.
While cats are predators, they are also vulnerable to attacks from larger animals, such as dogs or even other
cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence, which can prevent any prey from
noticing that there is a cat nearby.
Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities.
Kittens frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill. To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture, however, owners may wish to purchase a carpeted cat tree from climbing, and feel less guilty warning them away from the sofa.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing
abilities only work in one direction. A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.
Eventually, most trapped kitties will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first, slowly shimmy（摇摆）. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured or disabled; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.
32. In most cases, cats climb trees in order to __________.
A. seek food B. protect themselves
C. have fun D. please their owners
33. What’s the purpose of buying a carpeted cat tree?
A. To train your cat in climbing
B. To help protect your furniture
C. To keep your cat warm in winter
D. To improve your cat’s claw skills
34. Seeing your cat up a tree, you are supposed to ______.
A. Offer it some food at once
B.lead it down slowly
C. Just take it easy

How a young designer brought back a fashion house?
Sharon Tal。a graduate of Engineering and Design in Israel，began her career in Paris and moved her way up to head designer in London. But the 33-year-old designer felt a strong desire to return to her native Israel.
Back at home, she began to think about the famous fashion house Maskit, founded in 1953 by Ruth Dayan，a legend in Israel's design world. The brand had everything Tel stood for as a designer. But there was one problem: Maskit had been closed for more than 20 years.
