BWhen my son was first diagnosed with Autism (自闭症), it was a very hard time for us. However, in some ways it was a relief, because we finally had a name for what was going on in our lives, but it also meant years more of uncertainty, and we didnt know what the future held. When I shared the news with my coworkers, I was so surprised and happy to receive so much immediate love and support from them. They were focused on what we needed, as opposed to how it would affect my ability to make it to work. One co-worker, Jackie, in particular, was amazing to my family and me. She called me into her office a few days later, and gave me a “ worry stone”. It gives you something to focus on when youre worried, rubbing your thumb around on this stone. It was a lovely gesture. She then extended a permanent offer to drive us to any appointments or tests we needed. Considering the fact that we lived 90 minutes from where most treatment took place, this was a tremendous offer. She made it very clear to me that this offer included last minute trips or emergencies. Anytime we needed to go anywhere, she was willing to be our transportation. She said that we needed to be able to focus on our son instead of having to divide our attention between the road and him. We never did need to take her up on her wonderful offer, but knowing it was there and that she was so willing to help made it feel like we were much less alone. 24. What does “a relief” refer to in the first paragraph ?A. My sons recovery from the disease. B. The help from my co-workers. C. Knowing what my boys problem is. D. The sign of a better future. 25. Why did the co-work offer to drive for us?A. She is a more experienced driver. B. We live far away from the hospital. C. She lives very close to our house. D. She wishes to reduce our worries. 26. What does the writer think of the offer by Jackie ?A. Its a great fort. B. Its a last-minute offer. C. Its not necessary. D. Its a difficult decision for her. 27. What might be the best title for the text?A. Years of UncertaintyB. The Most Generous WomanC. In Time of NeedD. A Story of SacrificeCId like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my panion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldnt understand it. I didnt like him anymore. I hadnt thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal. Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friends wife had just left him. We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that cant be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you. If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesnt seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions. 28. What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph1?A. It hurt his fathers feeling deeply. B. It has puzzled the author ever since. C. It left a deep impression on the author. D. It made the author dislike dogs. 29. What made he author think of the story of about 20 years ago?A. His friends attitude. B. The photo of the dog. C. His fathers wound. D. His friends suffering. 30. Why did the authors friend say harsh words to the author?A. He was ill-tempered. B. He was suffering the pain of losing his wife. C. He was bothered by an unexpected visit. D. They once quarreled and he couldnt forgive the author. 31. Whats the authors advice to us?A. Help those in need. B. Look before you leap. C. Respect for others is a kind of virtue.D. Learn to put yourself in others shoes. DNature has its own way of balancing itself out, but when we humans get involved, we tend to throw things out of control. Forests and oceans are natural carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but since weve been pumping too much into the air, those sinks cant keep up. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, led by biologist Tobias Erb, have figured out a way to supercharge plants to make them better at absorbing CO2, which could be a key defense against climate change. Erb and his team figured out a way to make plants more efficient at absorbing carbon, so that they consumed more carbon in a shorter amount of time. “If you think about plants, they are efficient CO2-fixing filters, but they are not fast, ”Erb said. “I think there is a chance to improve existing biology with synthetic(人造的) biology.”Erbs team identified 17 enzymes(酶) from nine different organisms, re-engineering three of them, that had an enlarged carbon consumption. When those enzymes worked together as a team, they worked better at not only plants natural enzymes, but also themselves individually. Existing enzymes in plants consume about 5 to 10 molecules(摩尔) of CO2 per second. The team of enzymes that Erb used consumed 80 molecules per second. So far, these enzymes have only been tested in test tubes in the lab, but the next step is real world testing where the enzymes would be introduced into plants to see if the same result occurs. If those tests show that plants really can be supercharged, we could have a new tool in the fight against climate change where not only do we protect the amazing carbon-absorbing forests we have, but we also add these super plants or an artificial leaf technology using the enzymes into other mixed fields. 32. Why cant forests and oceans balance nature?A. Because oceans and forests are getting smaller. B. Because a large number of forests are cut down. C. Because we human beings give off too much CO2. D. Because there are too many creatures in the world. 33. Which is the key defense against climate change according to Erb and his team?A. To increase the plants ability and efficiency to absorb CO2. B. To make oceans and forests to absorb more CO2 quickly. C. To reduce the humans activities giving off too much CO2. D. To increase the number of plants in the world, 34. What can we get from the last paragraph?A. The enzymes have proved useful in real world. B. The technology has worked against climate change. C. The enzymes have not been used in the lab. D. The technology may have a bright future. 35. This passage is intended to .A. call on people to pay more attention to the balance of natureB. introduce a possible way to better plants ability of absorbing CO2C. analyze the cause and result of climate change related to plantsD. explore the possibility of using plants to fight against climate change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。Technological innovation (创新)may not give you a warm feeling. 36 Messaging apps are examples of technology that are helping bring people together.
