Soon they would be eating freshly caught fish and seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire, as their ancestors did.The Rangers are of more than 100 Indigenous groups spread across Australia who have taken on the job of protecting the land of their forefathers. In Arnhem Land, they are the protectors of 3,300 square miles of land and sea. They comb the beaches by hand, picking up as much rubbish as possible. The task is very difficult as each day it delivers waves of new rubbish.For the Rangers, cleaning the beaches is more than a vacation. For a people whose culture is strongly tied to the land, protecting the environment is equal to preserving their history.However, colonization forcefully broke their connection to the land generations ago. Indigenous people were displaced and their cultural practices outlawed. Tens of thousands of years of traditional land management ended, and as a result many parts of the country now face serious disasters from invasive plant and animal species, bush fires and land mismanagement.In recent years, the government has restored more than 20 percent of Australias land to Indigenous owners. Since 2007，the Indigenous Rangers Organizations have been at work protecting this land.Luck, one of the few non-Indigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination of old and new techniques and an appreciation for the culture of Indigenous workers has been critical to the programs success.“You are working with staff who see the world different to you, so there is a much higher focus on the cultural aspects of work and life,” he said.“Being a ranger is a source of confidence. You feel strong,” said Terence, a senior ranger. “Here we still live on the land. The culture is still alive.”24. What did Indigenous Australians live on in the past?A. Rubbish picked up by hand.B. Protecting the land.C. Catching the fish and seafood.D. Invasive plants and animals.25. What do the Rangers think of cleaning the beaches?A. Its a job of their ancestors.B. Its just a vacation.C. Its a difficult task.D. Its their culture.26. Why has the government restored the land to Indigenous owners?A. The polluted land needs better management.B. Their cultural practices were outlawed.C. The people were too strong.D. The land belongs to them.27. What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?A. Not many employees are the Indigenous Australians.B. Culture is important to the Indigenous Australians.C. Their new techniques are successful.D. Both Luck and Terence are rangers.CMary Lyon was a leader in womens education in the nineteenth century. It was a time when womens education was not considered important in the United States. States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except the French language, how to sew clothing, and music.Mary Lyon felt that womens education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in the village of Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students.Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property (财产), guided by an independent group of direction. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any one person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyon opened Mount Holyoke Seminary for Women. In 1893, 34 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men.Marys efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as the many students from her schools went out to teach others.28. What was American womens problem with education in the 19th century?A. Teachers were careless about teaching.B. They had few choices about the subjects.C. The government paid no attention to education.D. They had no chance to continue their education.29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Mary thought little of womens education.B. Mary preferred women to be educated at home.C. Mary attached importance to womens education.D. Group discussions were not held in Marys school.30. What was Marys dream school like?A. It would have very strict rules.B. It would be independent in finance.C. It would be owned by the government.D. It would depend on some important person.31. Why is Mary still remembered by Americans?A. She set up the first college.B. She made women equal to men.C. She helped to pass American education law.D. She improved American womens education.DIf you use social media to chase away loneliness, a new study suggests youre going against the gain.We may have heard a lot about the benefits of interacting with others online, but the findings of a study conducted by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists show a direct relationship between social media usage and feelings of isolation (隔绝). In short, the more time you spend on social media, the lonelier you may feel.With increased interaction on a large number of apps that allow for endless virtual connectivity, loneliness seems like the last problem frequent social media users would face, but according to the leader of the study Brain Primack, it has the exact opposite effect.“Mental health problems and social isolation are at widespread levels among young adults nowadays,” Primack said, “We are naturally social creature, but modem life tends to separate us instead of bringing us together. While it may seem that social media presents opportunities to fill the social void (空隙), I think this study suggests that it may not be the solution people were hoping for.”Primack and his team examined the social media habits of 1787 U.S. adults aged 19 to 32 via a questionnaire that asked about the time and frequency they spent on the most popular social media platforms. Eventually, they determined that young adults who are constantly logging into social media reported more feelings of isolation than those with less social media usage. Frequent exposure to unrealistic descriptions on social media instead of face-to-face social interactions may give people the impression that others are living happier, more connected lives, and this may users feel more socially isolated in comparison.32. What does the underlined phrase “going against the grain” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Doing it all wrong.B. On the way to success.C. Taking a risk.D. Making a difference.33. How did Primack and his team conduct the study?A. By providing explanations.B. By collecting data online.C. By doing a survey.D. By describing their own experiences.34. What can we learn from the study?A. You will feel happier if you spend more time online.B. Interaction online is not the solution to social isolation.C. Virtual connectivity is best way to fill the social void.D. Popular social media platforms can bring people together.35. What does the text mainly tell us?A. New study on social media usage has been published.B. Face-to-face social interactions are on the way out.C. Social media does users more harm than good.D. Social media might make loneliness worse.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。When writing the story of your life, dont let someone else hold the pen. _36_ Here are some ideas for writing a life story:Live happily in your own way. You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others, nor should you feel that others are here to live up to yours. What success means to each of us is totally different. Success to others may mean being a good parent. Success is only about spending your life happily in your own way._37_ There are thousands of possible paths up the mountain of life, so it really doesnt matter which path you start off on. The only mistake is by wasting time running around at the base of the mountain, telling everyone that your life path is wrong.Embrace (信奉) new ideas, lessons, and challenges. Sometimes growing up means growing apart from old habits, relationships, and situations, and finding something new that truly moves you. _38_ You should look very clearly into the unknown and enjoy it. Because when you come in contact with things that you dont know, thats when youre learning, growing, and truly living.Live honorably through kindness. If you live honorably, no matter how old you get, youll never lose your beauty. _39_Spend quality time with people you love. _40_ People dont live forever. Appreciate what you have, who loves you and who cares for you. Youll never know how much they mean until the day when they are no longer beside you. Someday you will either regret not doing so, or you will say, “Im glad I did.”A. Lost time is never found again.B. Appreciate the little things in life that mean a lot.C. Change your path when you must, but keep moving forward.D. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing life as an adventure.E. For others, it may mean to simply be happy or it can be all of the above.F. And remember, there is no better thing than reaching out and holding the hand of someone in need.G. Make wise choices every day because the way you live each day is a sentence in the story of your life.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A wise man was passing through a city.
