17、s dawn of March 21,2018.Gary Messina was on his morning run along New YorkCitys East River.Suddenly something caught his eye a large 60-year-old manbalancing on the four-foot-high fence that guarded the path from the water.As Messinagot closer to the scene,the man took a step forward and slipped int
18、o the dark riverbelow.-5-When Messina reached nearer,the man was struggling in the water,clearly unableto swim.Other joggers also heard the mans cry.David Blauzvern and John Greendropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in.“People had called the police,but it was unclear when theyd get there
19、.”says Green.“We just reacted.”Messinajoined them in the river.Just as the jumper was losing strength,Blauzvern take holdof him.The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caughtup to them.They seized the man,with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina andGreen holding hi
20、m up from either side.As the men made their toward the concrete seawallthat stretched(延伸)for blocks in each direction,Blauzvern had an awful realization:there was no way out of the river.By now,a crowd had gathered on land.“A rescue boat is on its way,”someoneyelled to them.Swimming forward was gett
21、ing tougher by the minute.The jumper,whowas six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds,was heavy in his rescuers arms.After ten minutes,they managed to get to the rivers edge.“Ive never been soout of breath,”says Blauzvern.Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river,the two-man rescue bo
22、atappeared.But because it couldnt risk getting too close to the seawall,the menhad to swim out to it.“I was completely out of energy at this point,”says Blauzvern.The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and,finally,to safety.The man they had saved was taken to
23、the hospital for evaluation(评估).Details on his condition have not been known.As for the rescuers,each of themwas at work by 10:30 a.m.“I was a bit late,”admits Blauzvern,smiling.“But Ihad a good excuse.”24.The story mainly centers around _.A.why the old man slipped into the riverB.who saved the old

27、ort and hopefully wina gold medal.Since every competitors goal is to win,we assume that the silvermedalists would be less happy than gold-medal winners,but still happier than thosein third place.Common sense says that our levels of happiness should have somethingto do with our levels of achievement
28、except that often this isnt the case.Researchers found that bronze medalists actually appeared on the whole to behappier than silver medalists.How could that be?The answer,in a word,is gratitude.Silver medallists,who compared themselves to the gold medalists,experienceddisappointment at having been
29、close to winning the gold,but falling short.The bronzemedalists,on the other hand,were thankful to have won a medal at all,comparingthemselves to all those who didnt even reach the Olympic platform.If happiness,then,is the aim of life,perhaps our achievement-centered cultureis getting it all backwar
30、ds.We focus on what we want rather than on what we have.We forget to be grateful,and as a result we forget to be happy.Were from a culture that teaches us to envy others another person achievements and that is always looking forward to what comes next.Yet in a better society,might we not look at wha

35、tsD DOn a clear night,you can see a sky paced with stars.But you cant see planetsorbiting any of these stars,even with the strongest Earthbased telescopes.Astronomers reported that they discovered seven Earthsized planets orbiting anearby star called TRAPPIST 1 in February.They had to rely on indire
36、ct evidenceto tell them that the planets are there.By doing some math,they figured out thenumber of planets and the distance of their orbits.TRAPPIST 1 is a red dwarf（红矮星）,much smaller than our sun,but largerthan Jupiter(木星).If the sun were the size of a basketball,TRAPPIST 1wouldbe the size of a go
37、ld ball.This star is one of our closest neighbors,just like the-8-moon to the earth in space.When astronomers using Earth-based telescopes to study TRAPPIST 1,they noticedthat every once in a while,it became slightly dim（昏暗）.They decided that a planetmust be passing in front of the star,blocking par
38、t of the light.This dimming wouldcome and go as the planet orbited the star,passing alternately(交替地)behind andin front of the star regularly.By making careful observations,astronomers expected to get a rough idea of theplanets size from the pattern of dimming light.But the light level changed oftena
39、nd not at evenly spaced(均匀间隔的)times.The astronomers had to conclude theywere looking at more than one planet!To get additional data,NASAs spritzer SpaceTelescope measured TRAPPIST 1s brightness nearly continuously for 20 days,catching 34 crossings of planets in front of the star.Sorting through the
40、mess ofdata,the astronomers found that the innermost planet completes its orbit in 1.5 Earthdays,while the outermost planet takes 20 days.Once you know how long it takes eachplanet to complete an orbit,you can work out how far it is from the star comparedwith the other planets.The TRAPPIST 1 planets
41、 are not alone.So far,astronomers have found more than3,400 planets that orbit other stars.32.How did astronomers know the number of planets orbiting TRAPPIST 1?A.They used their eyes.B.They used telescopes.C.They performed some calculation.D.They made some guess.33.How does the author introduce TRA
42、PPIST 1 in paragraph 2?A.By giving examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By providing research results.D.By listing some numbers.34.What probably causes the star TRAPPIST 1 to be slightly dim?A.The telescopes failure.B.The cloud floating around.C.The stars moving.D.The passing planets.35.Whats the main
43、 idea of Paragraph 4?A.The ways to get the information of the planets.B.The introduction of the planets.-9-C.The distances of the planets to the star.D.The astronomers effort of exploring TRAPPIST 1.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。（注意：在涂卡时，E 涂为 AB,F 涂为 AC,G 涂为 AD）
44、The color of animals is by no means a matter of chance;it depends on manyconsiderations,but in the majority of cases tends to protect the animals from dangerby making it less outstanding Perhaps,it may be said that if coloring is mainlyprotective,there ought to be fewer brightly colored animals.36.T
45、hekingfisher itself,though so brightly colored,is not easy to see.37.Thus,for instance,the lion,and the wild donkey are all sandcolored.“Indeed,in the desert,neither trees,brushwood,nor even undulation(起伏)of thesurface afford the slightest protection to its enemies.38.”says an expert.The next point
46、is the color of the mature caterpillars(毛虫),some of which arebrown.This probably makes the caterpillar even more outstanding among the greenleaves.What would you do if you were a big caterpillar?Why,like most otherdefenceless creatures,you would feed by night,and lie hidden by day.39.Whenthe morning
47、 light comes,they go down the stem of the food plant,and hide among drysticks and leaves around the ground,and it is obvious that under such circumstancesthe brown color really becomes a protection.While we may say asa general rule thatthe large caterpillars feed by night and hide by day,it is by no
48、 means always thecase that they are brown:some of them still remain green.40,and that the browncolor is a later adaptation.A.So do these caterpillarsB.Therefore,the color of the animals is brightC.We can say that they formed a good habitD.Desert animals are generally the color of the desertE.We may
49、conclude that the habit of hiding themselves by day comes firstF.However,there are some cases where vivid colors are themselves protectiveG.So the color of birds,snakes and even smaller animals,is of one uniform sand-10-color第三部分第三部分 语言知识应用语言知识应用(共两节；满分共两节；满分 4545 分分)第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30
