Jim Johnson, a mail carrier, was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and Westover Hills neighborhoods. just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much more than the mail. He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns(草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise.
Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on. In many communities, that trust is won every day when life-saving medicine, greeting cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters-even the bills-appear in mailboxes in front of the houses.
After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any other. He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day. Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before. And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off. On the route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable. Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together. At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.
It’s been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier. That’s what the postal service means to us.
24．What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph?
A．He’s open-minded.B．He’s sharp-eyed.
C．He’s warm-hearted.D．He’s strong-willed.
25．What does the underlined word “disparaged” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Refused.B．Criticized.C．Investigated.D．Suspended.
26．What did Jim do besides daily delivery on his final days of work?
A．He drove Butch to its owner.B．He sent presents to his friends.
C．He prepared a retirement party.D．He said goodbye to the neighbors.
27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To remember a respected mail carrier.B．To record an unforgettable experience.
C．To raise funds for the postal service.D．To call for harmony in the community.

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city — in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community. At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments. She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials. The best judges of how a city should be — and how it should develop — are the local residents themselves. Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks. The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another. Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form. The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people. There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact. Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality. They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”: shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
28．What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community?
A．Efficient public transport.B．Strong interaction between people.
C．Uniform style of buildings.D．A comparatively large population.
29．Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development?
A．Local residents.B．Government officials.
C．City planners.D．Construction workers.
30．How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built?
A．Lined with plants.B．Painted with clear signs.
C．Tightly connected.D．Convenient for the old.
31．According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of _______.
A．prideB．comfortC．securityD．urgency
D
Want to learn a new language or get A’s in college exams? Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory. A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.
Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning.
Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested.
Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity. The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately. Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned.
According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying. But why? That’s one question the researchers have yet to answer. Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning. I’ve run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout. But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning.
32．What did the new study aim to explore?
A．When exercise is best for learning.B．What biochemicals are good for health.
C．How brainwaves should be measured.D．Which area of the brain is the most active.
33．What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment?
A．Train on bicycles.B．Do mathematics exercises.
C．Play computer games.D．Watch films about nature.
34．Why did the participants return to the lab two days later?
A．To do a medical examination.B．To have their memory tested.
C．To get their workouts recorded.D．To finish their previous tasks.
35．What might the author’s marathon running prove?
A．The findings of the study are reliable.B．Long-distance runners are often smart.
C．Studies on the marathon are not enough.D．Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In 2010, the UN Department of Global Communications instituted language days for each of the organization’s six official languages. The goal was two-fold: 56 (celebrate) cultural diversity as well as to promote the equal use of all six 57 (tongue).
Language is the carrier of communication, the bridge of interaction between nations, 58 the bond of understanding among civilizations. At the same time, a language and its individual 59 (write) forms make up the “soul” of a national tradition. Every language is worthy of respect and should 60 (treat) equally.
The UN Chinese Language Day not only provides a unique platform 61 the world to better understand China, but also 62 (promote) language and cultural exchanges in the world.
Today, more than 70 countries have included the Chinese language in their education systems. Chinese plays an increasingly important role in 63 (improve) communication and cooperation between China and 64 rest of the world. As more and more foreigners start to study the Chinese language and experience Chinese culture, the world will have a better understanding of China and its rich history, its hard-working people, its development through 65 (innovate), and its inclusiveness. China, on its part, will also embrace (拥抱) the world with greater openness and make new contributions to the international community.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel. A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers.
I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club — standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event?
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside.

When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group.
