The workers quickly examined the situation and saw that a kangaroo had jumped out of the bushes（灌木丛）一straight into the sea.The animal seemed confused by the fishermen standing on the rocks. So instead of turning back and heading back into the bushes, it jumped right into the water! The poor thing bobbed（摆动）around in the waves and went underwater several times before Lillian decided to take action.As with any other animal rescue, it's important to approach the situation with prudence. Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run. nIt just didn't want to come on to the beach because it was kind of scared," she said. nI was trying to figure out how to get it on the board. But considering that it's a wild animal, even though I was helping, I wouldn*t want to be hurt by it or make it more stressed out.”As beach-goers recorded the rescue on their phones,Lillian paddled （用浆戈U月台）behind the animal carefully and guided the kangaroo onto the beach. As soon as Lillian's feet touched the sand, the beach erupted in cheers for her! "It was quite special. As people there were cheering and clapping, the kangaroo was just sitting there up in the bushes staring at me, as if it was conveying something with its shining eyes," Lillian said. nI didn't think that was going to ever be my first rescue, I may have more rescues in the future, but none would be as memorable as this one,”What happened to the kangaroo?A.It jumped off the rocks by mistake,It jumped into the sea by accident,C.It was forced to leave the bushes.D. It was washed away into the sea.24. What does the underlined word "prudence" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Inspiration. B. Hope. C.Care. D. Shock.25. How did the kangaroo react to its rescuer?A. It couldn't wait to leave her.B.It was worried about her safety.C. It was confused about her action.D. It seemed grateful for her help.26. Which of the followings can best describe Lillian?A. Far-sighted and independent.B.Talented and positive.C.Brave and cautious.D. Determined and ambitious.CToday, many people spend a lot of time reading online, whether reading news, social media, or e-books. While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. These include eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new reading plugin（插件）has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, wascreated with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold（粗体）,which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing. Incredibly, reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people's brain.Casutt came up with the plugin by accident. He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts. He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it. Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading ability. But people with dyslexia（诵读障碍）have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.Casutt's goal is to integrate the plugin into all reading apps and online services. "In a digital world dominated（支酉己）by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content/ he said. Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds, Lire, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.27. How does Bionic Reading work?A. Users can read faster with less thinking.B. Users keep their brains much less active.C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.D. Users guess the meanings of some key words.28. What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia?A. Selecting suitable reading contents.B. Keeping up with reading contents.C.Limiting reading time.D. Reducing stress from reading.29. What can we learn about Bionic Reading?A.It has not been put into use so far.B.It has already been fully developed.C.It leaves users a further reading and thinking.D.It helps users skip the new words in reading.30. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online ReadingB. Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People's BrainC. Spending Time On Online Reading Is WorthwhileD. New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be ImprovedDA new study discovers that sharks do sleep, and they often sleep with their eyes open. Since some sharks have to swim constantly to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills （鱼鲤）,people have long thought that they don*t sleep at all.Researchers from Australia have now recorded a species of shark sleeping for the first time, finishing the long-standing debate about whether sharks sleep. To see if sharks were in fact asleep,the team analyzed the metabolism （新陈代谢）and pose of seven draughtsboard sharks （猫鲨）over 24 hours. When the sharks were resting for five minutes or longer, their oxygen consumption dropped, which suggested the animals were sleeping. And the researchers also noticed that the sharks changed their posture by lying flat and closer to the ground.The sharks sometimes slept with their eyes shut as well, though, mostly during the day. At night, they tended to keep their eyes open more often, leading researchers to suspect that the sharks* eye closure might have more to do with light than the sleep state itself. "Not only are sleeping sharks less responsive to their surroundings, but they also have lower metabolic rate,1' said Michael Kelly, an ecophysiologist at La Trobe University.“Sharks are an important group as they are the oldest living jawed vertebrates（颌类脊椎动物）a character they share with usMichael Kelly said. "Sharks have been swimming in the sea fbr over 400 million years and have evolved very little in that time. Understanding how and why these animals sleep will provide important understanding into the function of sleep and how the animal has evolved over time.”The team points out that more research will be needed to see if other species sleep like the draughtsboard sharks. Next they plan to continue to analyze the sharks' brain activity while they sleep, to learn more about their waking and resting states.31. What is the previous misunderstanding about sharks?A. They sleep with their eyes closed.B.They breathe in flowing water.C.They swim frequently at night.D. They always stay awake.32. What do researchers find about draughtsboard sharks?A. They need to rest every five minutes in the sea.B. They consume much less oxygen during the day.C.They have the same pose when awake and when asleep.D. They might close their eyes not to sleep but to avoid light.33. What does paragraph 4 talk about?A. The process of the research.B. The n4'tt ot the research.C. The significance of the research.D. The introduction of the researchers.34. What does the Bam think of their research in the last paragraph?A. Insufficient. B. Unrealistic. C. Meaningless. D. Inefficient.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。As a way to connect the mind, body and spirit, now, yoga is practiced or celebrated all over the world by adults and teens. 36 How can yoga actually benefit children in the long run?
