According to the BBC, at first the researchers expected to find waters stored in small spaces between the rocks. What they actually found was a massive reservoir of water trapped in the ice, kind of like the liquid in a snow-cone. Newser quotes lead study author Richard Forster saying, “we thought we had an understanding of how things work in Greenland, but here is this entire storage system of water we didnt realize was there.”OK, so snow water under the ice in Greenland; why is this a big deal? Well, researchers say it could provide new clues to understanding Greenlands ice melts and sea level rise in general. Voice of America quotes Forster saying, “of the present sea level rise, the Greenland ice sheet is the largest contributor, and it is melting at record levels, so understanding the aquifers (地下蓄水层) capacity to store water from year to year is important, because it fills a major gap in the overall connection of melt-water runoff and sea levels.” According to researchers, the water is 15 to 60 feet beneath the surface and likely stays fluid because its covered by snow. Theyre unsure how old the reservoir is or whether it flows into the ocean.21. What is true about the water newly found in Greenland?A. It came into being only a few years ago. B. It is widely stored between the rocks.C. It finally flows into the ocean. D. It is probably in the form of liquid.22. The discovery of water in Greenland is very important because _.A. it confirms scientists previous guess about the storage of water in GreenlandB. it provides information about the possible amount of water storage in GreenlandC. it throws new light on the relation between Greenlands melt water and sea level riseD. it solves the problem of the shortage of fresh water in the world for good22. What will be the best title of the passage?A. Billions of Tons of Water Found under Greenland Ice SheetB. Greenland Ice Sheet Contributing to Rapid Sea Level RiseC. Ice Sheet in Greenland Melting at Alarming SpeedD. Scientists Predicting Massive Underground Water in GreenlandBThe policeman moved along the street, looking strong and important. It was about ten at night, and it was cold. He stopped at doors as he walked along, trying each door to be sure that it was closed for the night. Then the policeman suddenly slowed his walk. Near the door of a closed shop, a man was standing. As the policeman walked toward him, the man spoke quickly. “Its all right, officer,” he said. “Im just waiting for a friend. Twenty years ago, we agreed to meet here tonight. Sounds a little funny to you, doesnt it? Well, Ill explain if youd like to make sure that everythings all right. About that long ago, there was a restaurant where this shop standsBig Joe Bradys restaurant.” “It was here until five years ago,” said the policeman.The man lit a cigar. The light showed a pale face with a little white scar near his right eye. “Twenty years ago tonight,” said the man, “I had dinner here with Jimmy Wells. He was my best friend in the world. He and I grew up here in New York, like two brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was heading for the West to make a fortune. You couldnt pull Jimmy out of New York. He thought it was the only place on earth.”The man waiting took out a handsome watch, covered with small diamonds. “Three minutes to ten. It was ten when we said goodbye here at the restaurant door.”“It sounds interesting,” said the policeman. “A long time between meetings, it seems to me. If he isnt here at ten, are you going to leave?”“I am not!” said the man. “Ill wait for half an hour, at least. Im sure Jimmy will e tonight. He was the truest man in the world. Hell never forget.”The policeman took a step or two. “Ill go on my way,” he said. “Hope your friend es all right. Good night, sir.”“Good night, officer.”There was now a cold rain falling. In the door of the shop stood the man who had e a thousand miles to meet a friend. Such a meeting could not be sure. But he waited. About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.“Is that you, Bob?” he asked.“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man in the door.“Its Bob! It surely is. I was sure I would find you here. Well, well, well! Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone. e on, Bob, lets go somewhere else and have a good long talk about old times.”The two men started along the street, arm in arm. At the corner stood a shop bright with lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the others face. The man from the West stopped suddenly. “Youre not Jimmy Wells ,”he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a mans nose.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “Youve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Now before we go on to the police station, heres a note for you. You may read it here at the window.”The man from the West opened the little piece of paper. His hand began to shake a little as he read. “Bob, I was at the place on time. When you lit your cigar I saw it was the face of the man wanted by Chicago police. Somehow I couldnt do it myself, so I went around and got another policeman to do the job. Jimmy.”24.

My parents, relatives and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It gave me a leg up on trusting myself, so when trouble came along, I could deal with them.Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight. My grades suffered until eventually I overcame being self-conscious and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus（马戏团）and calling me “Whitey”. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older.” The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldnt play sports very well.I didnt give up trying, though. I shot hoops every day and played whiffle ball in summer. And I studied harder. Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring, going to summer school and burying myself in every kind of after-class activity I could find. I tried my best to make “albino” a positive word. I couldnt see well enough to play sports, but with a solid education and the drive to do it, I could make a living involved in something I loved. Ive done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how Im the only “blind editor” they know, but the jokes are well-meant, some of them signs of respect.I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overe difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of my personal achievement and modest about my professional acplishments. 27.According to the author, helped him a lot in dealing with troubles. A. his education in school B. the equal way his family and friends treated himC. the sympathy from the public D the special care from his family and friends28.All the following are the signs of being an albino for the author except . A. poor eyesight B. an older appearancesC. abnormally white skin D. being unable to play sports29 .We can infer from the passage that . A. the author holds an optimistic attitude towards his illnessB. the authors poor eyesight made him very upsetC. the author finally did well in playing sports after years of practiceD. many people laugh at the author because he attempts to do more than he can30. What does the writer want to convey in the passage? A . Peoples attitude toward you will changes when you improve.B. Sports can make people more positive about life.C. Difficulties can provide a chance for growth to peopleD . One should learn to appreciate hard times and look ahead.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。Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, shared four of his most important tools for applying technology more productively, and building a work life that supportsrather than wastesyour energy. Build daily rituals (习惯)._31_Build highly specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until it bees as automatic as brushing your teeth at night. The best way to prioritize (优先考虑) whats important to us and make sure we actually do the things we care about is to create highly specific habits. Take a “first things first” approach to your mornings._32_Ninety-five percent of people have more energy early in the morning than they do as the day wears on, and they also have fewer distractions(干扰). So if thats the case, why wouldnt you do the most important thing when you have the most energy? Use technologies selectively. If you expose yourself to different forms of technology continuously, they will pull you in the way a drug would, even when you know it is not serving you well. Keep technological temptations (诱惑) away when you find yourself getting too distractedor as Schwartz puts it: “_33_” _34_Many of us live our lives in a gray zonewere not fully focused on work when were working, and during our leisure time, were not fully relaxed. This leaves us feeling distracted. Schwartzs advice? _35_Applying less than your full focus doesnt just make you less productive; distraction keeps you from being fulfilled by and connected to your work. Distraction is the enemy to meaning.A. Do the most important thing first every day.B. Be intentional with your attention.C. Taking breaks throughout the workday is a nice thought.D. If youre trying to lose weight, dont have cup-cakes in the fridge.E. When youre working, youre really working; and when youre relaxing, youre really relaxing.F. Weve crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information ing at us.G. The only way to ensure that things that arent urgent but are important happen is to develop habits. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分40分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，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。Who is in control of your life? Who ispullingyour strings?For the 36 of us, its other people society, colleagues, friends, or our family. We 37 this way of operatingwhen we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed.
