to go?A.Meerhout.B.Boechout.C.Genk.D.Dessel.BWhen we see a person in trouble,the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand.Butwhat if we see an animal in trouble,does the same rule apply?This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully（峡谷）inAntarctica.It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties.The film crew were anxious whenthey saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young.Theybuilt a slope（斜坡）so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.The case has taken the international media by storm.Viewers watching this film sighed inrelief.Em so glad.I understand not taking action directly,but a helping hand isnt bothering,right?”viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.However,others think human interference（干涉）is unnatural.u You cant have sunshinethroughout your life.To have done anything else would only make matters worse.said theshow*s creator David Attenborough,according to The Times.In this case,however,Mike Gunton,the executive producer of the series,said that this was aone-off situation.There were no animals going to suffer by interfering.You werent touching theanimals and it was just felt by doing this-They had the chance not to have to keep slipping downthe slope.he told the BBC.Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen,wildlife photographer for National Geographic.Hetold Metro,“If its ever a predator（捕食者）situation,no matter how gut-wrenching,you stay outof the way.Even when youre watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.“Theres no rule book in

on Dangerous AnimalsD.Help Animals in Trouble or NotCSeveral years ago,when someone used camera covers to protect against possible monitoring,it was not popular to talk about it.Today,people use various types of tapes to cover the webcameras and microphones.There are many types of spyware that can dive into our devices and secretly spy on them,recording everything they do.Such programs may infect not only computers but also smartphones.Your data may be used by hackers who will try to request money fbr not exposing your privateinformation or by companies like NSO Group who created the Pegasus spyware to“provideauthorized governments with technology that helps struggle against terror and crime”.In my opinion,the described protection technique is highly overestimated.Users tape cameras andmicrophones due to the lack of understanding of how their devices work and how malware（恶意软 件）works.Hackers and even secret services do not have enough resources to monitor allvictims using cameras or microphones.If they need to yet any information,they get it by sendinga targeted malware to your device,which will not be stopped by the tapes.Such a virus will findwhat to steal-from personal photos and videos to passwords from social networks,browserhistory,bank accounts and much more.It is unwise to believe that attackers will not be able to find a way to spy on you,even if thedevice,discharged to zero,can still deliver data about your location,using the smartphones of thesurrounding people as signal repeaters.Let us face it.we live in an era when it is extremelydifficult to hide something and a piece of tape is clearly not the most useful tool in the struggle fbryour privacy.Again,to be able to spy on you,attackers need to plant malware in your device.To preventmalware from entering your device,do not click suspected links and email attachments.Usestrong passwords fbr email,social media and online banking accounts.28.What does the underlined word them in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Cameras.B.Types.C.Programs.D.Devices.29.What is NSO Group?A.group of hackers.B.A company developing spyware.C.A group of terrorists and criminals.D.A company fighting against crime.30.Why does the author think nthe protection technique is highly overestimated?A.People know little about their devices.B.Hackers have no access to others.C.It hardly prevents malware from getting privacy.D.It cant cover the cameras completely.31.What is the text mainly about?A.Protecting privacy on devices.B.Rising trend of using tapes.C.Monitoring devices via cameras.D.Avoiding clicking distrustful links.DWhat is talent?Are you bom with it?Or does it seem to develop over time?Before I start,Idlike to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hardto get there.While ifs true that a few of us had enough talent to avoid extra practice to do just as wellas those who did,those who worked hard easily beat us.It is,in fact,very likely that if some of usutalented ones had actually been practicing and improving our skill,we would have achieved awhole different level.Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion（酷爱）.The people I see who are themost talented musicians are crazy about music.They eat,breathe,and live music and they makean extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives.As Remus Badea said,desire for themusician-to-be is significant for them to be successful.This desire is easily found in thoseconsidered to be talented.When you want and love something so bad,it drives you and yourentire character can be shaped around it.Such determined passion seems to produce incredibleskill and talent.The third aspect（方面）of talent is having talent around you.When surrounded by talentedmusicians,it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level Take a look at almost anygroup of musicians in history.The more talented people in the group the more talented the groupis as a whole.A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer and artist.Theartist turns up to the studio with their song,and as they work through recording it,the audioproducer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better.32.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.Pride goes before a fall.B.Ifs never too old to learn.C.Practice contributes to talent.D.Talent determines achievements.33.What is the key to success according to Remus Badea?A.Passion.B.Character.C.Skill.D.Talent.34.Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To introduce what real talents are.B.To explain how a song is composed.C.To prove talents need team spirit.D.To show the benefits of being with talents.35.What might the author probably agree with?A.Music has no limits.B.Musicians are bom with talent.C.Music favors the talented.D.Musicians are created,not born.第二节阅读七选五（共 5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Should you listen to music when you work?Some will say they love it,claiming that itimproves their performance;others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing inthe b a c k g ro u n d.36 It just depends on what sort of work you re doing.In a recent study,we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks.They includedan easy task 一 searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter a”and a more difficult task 一 memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word.Someparticipants completed all of the tasks in silence,whereas others completed the tasks withinstrumental music that was either loud or soft,and either simple or complex,the latter meaningmusic with more instrumental t r a c k s.37We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about thesame on the easy t a s k.38 Contrarily,participants performed worse on the more difficulttask when they listened to any music,regardless of complexity or volume,compared to those whodidn t listen to any music.39 Not surprisingly,we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources whenwe perform easy tasks,whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower.However,because wemight be less engaged during easier tasks,there s a greater risk of drifting off to sleep.Musicmight give us the extra boost we need to get refreshed.40 Listening to music canbecome overkill（过犹不及）.So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and thetype of task.A.What should we make of these findings?B.Several key findings emerged from our study.C.However,difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources.D.Our research has found that the effects of work may depend on our personalities.E.We want to develop a more comprehensive framework that could be applied broader.F.However,participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task.G.Interestingly enough,our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共 15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The story
