own backyard.On the first night of the policecurfew in Minneapolis last summer,Rose McGee barely slept.People I know were out on thestreets,says the 69-year-old resident of nearby Golden Valley.I was worried.”McGee decided tostay up the following night and bake sweet potato pies.In the morning,goods were first sent to mourners at George Floyds memorial site.Shedelivered her baked goods first to just 14 miles away,and then to protestors and volunteers at theMinneapolis branch of the NAACP.The following weekend,she took dozens more to a temporaryfood distribution center in St.Paul where many grocery stores had been destroyed.Sadly,McGee has made Sweet Potato Comfort Pies,as she calls them,all too often in recentyears.She baked her first pack in 2014,after news of unrest broke out in Ferguson,Missouri,following the police killing of Michael Brown.McGee drove more than 500 miles to Ferguson topersonally deliver the 30 pies she had made in the same year.The next year,she shipped more toCharleston,South Carolina,where nine worshippers had been shot dead at the Mother EmanuelAME Church.After two years,McGees pies comforted those in and around Minneapolis afterpolice officers fatally shot Jamar Clark and Philando Castile.“Looking at those who are insuffering,I am in sorrow.Im looking forward to comforting them.As people carry these pies,theyre able to have dialogues,able to listen to each other.”McGee says,“If we dont startlistening more,I dont know how well ever be able to move forward.The pies are simply whatcan promote that.”24The reason why McGee was worried on that night is that.Aher neighbors might stay up too lateBpotato pies were not enough to distributeCmany neighbors were arrested by the policeDpeople hung out together in the night against the curfew25What happened in the year of 2015?AThe police and residents came into battle.BNine worshippers were killed by gunshot.CThe police murdered Jamar Clark purposely.DMcGee baked her first sweet potato pies successfully.26McGee made Sweet Potato Comfort Pie to.Awarn the police not to mistreat citizensBcomfort those who suffered family abuseCmotivate the residents to fight for fairnessDteach people how to build a good relationship27What does the underlined word that in the last paragraph refer to?APeoples helping in suffering.BThe relief from victims in accidents.CThe comfort given to people in hardship.DPeoples being willing to communicate.CAt the age of twelve years,the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its fullsize and strength,and its owner his or her full intelligence;but at this age the likelihood of death isleast.Earlier,we were infants and young children,and consequently more vulnerable(易受伤害的),later,we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which,thoughunnoticeable at first,will finally become so steep that we can live no longer,however well welook after ourselves,and however well society,and our doctors,look after us.This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing.It is one of the mostunpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way,that if we escape wars,accidents and disease we shall eventually“die of old age”,and that this happens at a rate whichdiffers little from person to person,so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between theages of sixty-five and eighty.Some of us will die sooner,a few will live longeron into a ninth ortenth decade.But the chances are against it,and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope toremain alive,however lucky and robust we are.Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it.We are sofamiliar with the fact that ma ages,that people have for years assumed that the process of losingvigor with time,of becoming more likely to die the older we get,was something self-evident,likethe cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes.They have also assumed that allanimals,and probably other organisms such as trees,or even the universe itself,must in the natureof things“wear out”.Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do,if given the chance to live longenough;and mechanical systems like a wound watch,or the sun,do in fact run out of energy inaccordance with the second law of thermodynamics(whether the whole universe does so is a mootpoint at present).But these are not analogous(类似的)to what happens when man ages.Arun-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound.An old watch,by contrast,becomes so wornand unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending.But a watch could never repair itself itdoes not consist of living parts,only of metal,which wears away by friction.We could,at onetime,repair ourselveswell enough,at least,to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnessesand accidents.Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power,an illness which attwelve would knock us over,at eighty can knock us out,and into our grave.If we could stay asvigorous as we are at twelve,it would take about 700 years for half of us to die,and another 700for the survivors to be reduced by half again.28Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?AOur first twelve years represent the peak of human development.BPeople usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.CNormally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.DPeople are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.29The word“it”in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to.Aremaining alive until 65Bremaining alive after 80Cdying before 65 or after 80Ddying between 65 and 8030What is ageing?AIt is usually a phenomenon of dying at an old age.BIt is a fact that people cannot live any longer.CIt is a gradual loss of vigor and resistance.DIt is a phase when people are easily attacked by illness.31What do the examples of watch show?ANormally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.BAll animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.CThe law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.DHumans ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.DLast week,Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared a war on paper textbooks.“Over thenext few years,he said in a speech at the National Press Club,“textbooks should be abandoned.In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies,like e-readers andmulti-media websites.Such technologies certainly have their place.But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light afire to a tried-and-true technology that has been the foundation for one of the great educationalsystems on the planet.And while e-readers and multi-media may seem appealing,the idea ofreplacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped(炒作)but still unproven one isextremely dangerous,An expert on reading,Maryanne Wolf,has recently begun studying the effects of digitalreading on learning,and s0 far the results are mixed.She worries that Internet reading,inparticular,could be such a source of distractions for the student that they may cancel out mostother potential benefits of a web-linked,e-leaning environment,and while its true that thehigh-tech industry has sponsored considerable amounts of research on the potential benefits ofWeb-based learning,not enough time has passed for longitudinal(纵向的)studies to demonstratethe full effects.In addition,digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students backsand save schools money.But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem,andthe astonishing costs to equip every student with an e reader,provide technical support and pay forregular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice.As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history,I cant help butwonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden,wholesale abandonment of thetechnology of paper.32What does the underlined part“a tried-and-true technology in Paragraph 2 refer to?AFoundationBPaperCE-booksDPlatform33What is the drawback of textbooks according to the passage?AIts price.BIts efficiency.CIts content.DIts weight.34What worries Maryanne Wolf is that_AE-readers and multimedia websites are learning methods that are proved effective.Bthe results of digital reading effects are understandableCdigital reading cant provide potential benefits for usersDstudents may not focus on leaning by digital reading35What is the authors attitude towards digital-learning?AObjective.BSupportive.CPositive.DDisapproving.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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.How to stay focused in classBeing relaxed during class is a bad
