I was doing a big clean-up recently and my kids were helping when my son, Freddo, came across a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. uMum, can I have this? Can I play with this Coin?” he asked I took one look and was immediately transported to another time.In 1991, there was a time when my friend and I worked in a backward African country, Niger, hit by sandstorms and burning heat. There were many things I found difficult about this place一the climate and beggars were my biggest headaches. So after finishing five months of nursing work there, we moved on to work at a health clinic in neighbouring country, Burkina Faso. "It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better, “ the locals assured us.Yet the fact was quite the opposite. Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina we began to unload. I was reaching for my larger piece of luggage when, out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the pair were out of sight, swallowed up by the night.With my passport, money, traveller's cheques all in the bag, I was in deep trouble. How frustrating! All I wanted was to leave this hellhole! Then, walking through Burkina's streets one day, I was stopped by an old woman who thrust her hand in my face. "Cadeau ('gift' in French)! Cadeau!” she cried. I'd had enough! I was extremely tired of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, the dust and. . . everything! I told her angrily and firmly in French, “I have no 'cadeau' . I have no money. A thief stole all my money two weeks ago and now I can，t get out of your country. I cannot give you anything. NOTHING!v The beggar woman listened attentively. To my great surprise, after hearing my words, she gave a broad smile. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。She reached into the pockets of her dress.There was slight touch on my hand; looking down, I saw my son looking at me, curious.中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。6 What is the woman's great news?1.

Before I knew it, people all over the planet were suggesting ideas and offering to help. Some posted titles of books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers, like Panama's Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62 percent of Britons who only speak English. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles （藏书家）behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task.This was particularly true for Portuguese-speaking African countries. There's precious little to offer as far as states such as the Comoros, Madagascar and Mozambique 一 I had to rely on unpublished manuscripts （手稿）fbr several of these.Then there were places where stories are rarely written down. If you're after a good story in the Marshall Islands, fbr example, you're more likely to go and hear one of the local storytellers than you are to pick up a book.All in all, tracking down stories like these took as much time as the reading. It was tough to fit it all in around work and many were the nights when I sat bleary-eyed （困倦而视线模糊的）into the small hours to make sure I stuck to my target of reading one book every 1.87 days.But the effort was worth it. As I made my way through the planet's literary landscapes, extraordinary things started to happen. Far from simply armchair traveling, I found I was inhabiting the mental space of the storytellers. It took me inside the thoughts of individuals living far away and showed me the world through their eyes. These stories not only opened my mind to the different aspects of life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feeLLands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me - places I could identify with. At its best, I learned, fiction makes the world real.21. What can we learn about the readers of the blog "A Year of Reading the World"?A. They should feel free to upload their book reviews.B They are welcome to share their storytelling skills.C. They are asked to give advice on what book to read about their country.D. They have to send a list of their favorite books from other countries.22. Why is the literature of the Marshall Islands rarely known to the world?A. The quality of literature there is very poor.B. Most of its literature is written in Portuguese.C. Writers there are unwilling to publish their manuscripts.D. The country's literature is mostly in the form of oral stories.23. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. She spent far more time searching fbr books than reading them.B. She found the reading challenge exhausting but rewarding.C. Book researchers overseas could help her with her challenge.D. Reading foreign books would spare her the trouble of traveling.BIt might sound like an imaginary character out of a book: The goldfish who could drive. But it's real. Israeli researchers created a robotic car and reported that they taught fish to navigate it on land.The team had been dreaming up ways to test fish navigation （航行）fbr a while, according to Shachar Givon, first author of the published study.“We are always trying to challenge ourselves - and our fish. The idea of having the fish navigate on land seemed exactly like the impossible sort of challenge we like to tackle. Lucky for us, it was not so impossible, said Givon.This experiment is known as “domain transfer methodology（方法论）”, which means determining whether a species is able to perform tasks outside its natural environment.First, the team created a water-filled tank on wheels that moved in response to the movements of the fish. Then they taught the goldfish how to drive it.The fish first had to connect their own swimming movements to the movements of the vehicle so they could navigate it. Then they were given a destination: a pink target board in a room that resulted in a food reward when the vehicle touched it. A computerized camera system attached to this "fish operated vehicle” recorded and translated the fish's swimming directions.After several days of training, the fish successfully navigated the vehicle to the target from different starting positions in the room - even if they faced obstacles like false targets or hitting a wall. Some did particularly well.Although previous studies have shown that fish can navigate within water-related environments, the authors suggest this study shows the ability to navigate is universal to all species and independent of the environment.By controlling different variables （变量）,the team also showed that the fish used a combination of cues to navigate, including the target's color and location.24. Which research process is mentioned in the experiment?A. A watery tank that could move in water was created.B. A computerized system to guide the fish was adopted.C. The fish were rewarded when they performed correctly.D. The vehicles were navigated from the same starting positions.25. Whafs the assumed finding of Givon's study?A. Some fish can drive the car without cues.B. Fish cannot navigate the car when meeting obstacles.C. The goldfish have better navigational skills than other fish.D. The ability to navigate is unattached to the environment.A. All Species Can NavigateGoldfish Turn Out to Be Real DriversB. Fish Navigation Meets New ChallengesD Animal Experiments Are Essential in ResearchCUnlike any other art form, movies require hundreds of people and piles of money. With such financial risks, studios want to attract as many people as possible and make a big profit. I often complain that chasing profits ruins movies. Imagine if Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci （1452-1519） had to satisfy investors fbr The Last Supper.In May, Paramount released its trailer （预告片）fbr a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Everyone was excited, including me. I love this character, in part because he's ridiculous. Hedgehogs （刺猬）aren't fast, nor are they blue. Had the game's designers ever actually seen a hedgehog? Who cares? Sonic has always looked cool. Nobody would play a video game featuring a realistic hedgehog character.When I saw the movie trailer, though, I worried. Sonic's eyes were too far apart and his big teeth looked like they would eat my fingers. His body looked like a child wearing pajamas（睡衣）.Sonic didn9t look cool. He looked like the halfhuman result of a failed genetic experiment.You know the internet. People there will fight you fbr saying the sky is blue. This time, however, the internet stood together: Sonic looked TERRIBLE. People joked about it all over social media. Paramount couldn't ignore this online outrageand quickly announced a redesign, at great cost to the company.At first, I thought it was awesome. Back when I was a kid, there was no social media. We would have been stuck with creepy, crappy C怪异且蹩月却的）Sonic and his terrifying teeth. After the redesign, Sonic looks cooler than ever. Tm glad the studio broke its budget to get Sonic right.But I'm a little worried, too. What if this starts a trend? What if directors keep going to Sina Weibo or Twitter to make people happy? One thing I've learned in life is that if you try to make everybody happy, nobody will be happy.If an art form only exists to make money by giving audiences what they expect, can we really call it “art” anymore? Some of my favorite movies are ones that nobody liked at first. Usually, what makes them good is the same thing that made them unpopular. Studios might end up with lots of money but we would end up with a lot of bad movies.27. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?A. To describe his love fbr the character the hedgehog, Sonic.B. To promote the movie Sonic the Hedgehog for its redesign.C. To complain about how bad Sonic looked in the film trailer.D. To express his concern over studios' attempts to please audiences.28. Why did the author get worried when he saw the earlier movie trailer?A. Sonic looked awful in the trailer.B. Sonic looked like a realistic hedgehog.C. They chose the wrong actor to play Sonic.D. The plot of the movie was dull.29. What does the underlined word “outrage" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Anger.B. Surprise.C. Humor.D. Thrill.30. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Great works of art are always disfavored at the beginning.B. Great movies are ones that reflect the audience's tastes.C. The best movies will end up
