to her country,her close relationships with her family and,mostimportantly,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-oldQueen is without a corgi in the royal household since World War II.In 2015,Monty Roberts,the Queens dog trainer,shared some details with Vanity Fair about her pets.Robertsencouraged Queen Elizabeth to continue breeding（繁殖）corgis,but,in her old age,she didnt want to leaveany young dog behind.She did,however,adopt a full-grown Corgi named Whisper in 2017,after its owner,who was agatekeeper at the palace,died.It was also said that Queen Elizabeth was worried shed trip over the dogs playing at her feet.It was a pretty realfear.Former royal staff Paul Burrell claimed that he was once tripped by nine corgis while walking them down the stepsat the palace.Willow was a dog with equally blue blood,although she never found social media stardom.It was a 14th-generationchild of Susan,the corgi who was gifted to Elizabeth on her 18th birthday by her father,King George VI.One of Willows most memorable moments was posing with James Bond at the 2012 London Olympics.Holly,Queens 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 Willows death,“a Buckingham Palace source told The Daily Mail.4lt is probably because Willow was the last link to her parents and apastime 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.B.It was put to death.C.It had an unsuccessful operation.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 shed 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.B.Bad mood.C.Cold heart.D.Terrible disease.27.What does Willow probably mean for Queen Elizabeth?A.The end of an era.B.Her control over the country.C.A tie with her parents.D.The hardship in her childhood.CChina announced a long-awaited plan to integrate（融合）the southern Pearl River Delta Area（PRDA）as anattempt to create a powerhouse to rival（相匹敌）the US Silicon Valley that is home to such well-known companiesas Google,Facebook and Apple.The possibilities and challenges of the effort are both equally promising andchallenging.The plan is a natural result of the economic and technological development in the area.Chinas opening up to theworld more than four decades ago began in the south and PRDA has long been home to many of the countrys leadingtechnological companies,including Huawei and Tencent.“The plan is promising,said Adam Xu,an analyst at OC&.C Strategy Consultants.CiIf you really look at historyin China,a lot of top-down plans always have very strong bottom-up support.And a lot of economic activities havealready 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 MainlandChina,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.uWe dont know how effectively the top-down plan will guide the many independent growing forces at the locallevel,“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 withGuangzhou and Shenzhen by high-speed railways and its recent opening of the 55-kilometer Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macaubridge.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 thesetogether.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.PRDAs 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.B.The cultural differences.C.The government control.D.The different legal systems.30.Which of the following cities are connected by the 55-kilometer bridge?A.Shenzhen,Zhuhai,Macau.B.Guangzhou,Shenzhen,Macau.C.Zhuhai,Macau,Hongkong.D.Guangzhou,Shenzhen,Hongkong.31.What is the best title for the text?A.The Different Legal Systems in Hongkong and MacauB.The Possibilities and Challenges of Integrating PRDAC.The Problems Facing Chinas Newly Announced PlansD.The Fast Development in the Pearl River Delta AreaDA new study published in Thursdays edition of Cell reports that mosquitoes sense of smell is more complex thanwe once thought.And it may explain how they are so good at seeking us out in the darkness and lead to new strategiesto 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 knownthat mosquitoes rely on multiple clues to target humans.First,they will sense the CO2 in the breath from a distance thatcan 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 withtheir legs.In many parts of the world,their bites may lead to such diseases as dengue,Zika,chikungunya and malaria.Thelatter 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 fruitflies,where the pathways between the brain and smell detectors are fairly simple:Each neuron（神经元）in their smelldetectors just responds to a single kind of smell and all the neurons fbr that smell are connected to the same part of theirbrains.Of course,there are countless different detectors responding to countless smells/9 says Younge匚 uWhen westarted looking inside mosquito brains,we found that each neuron can detect multiple smells.“Its a great breakthrough,says Josefina del Marmol,a scientist at the Harvard Medical School who wasntinvolved with the research.It will change a lot about what we know of how mosquitoes interact with the world andgive researchers additional ways to fight the bugs.But theres more work to be done to test,neuron by neuron,whichneuron 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 Youngers new discovery?A.The pathways in the brains of mice are fairly simple.B.A neuron in mosquitoes detectors can detect many smells.C.A11 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.Thc conclusion is not very reliable.C.More specific tests have to be done.D.The research method is too complex.第二节（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。Tips to Learn Any Foreign LanguageKnow your motivationIt might sound obvious.But if you dont have a good reason to learn a
