I was five and my mum, Can, told me and my brother Tam we were going on holiday, but as she hugged us goodbye, she began to sob so much her whole body was shaking. I gripped my little brother's hand as I watched the tiny village grow smaller in the rear view window. Like many Vietnamese children, we were adopted by an Australian family.It was a scary, lonely and confusing time, and I missed my birth family horribly. "When am I going home?" I'd ask again and again in Vietnamese, but no one would answer me because they didn't understand. I'd ask about my birth mother so often that my new parents told me she had died. I cried myself to sleep every night until I was eight or nine. My adoptive family were dysfunctional and home life was tough.At 15, my adoptive mother died. After that, I was going through my adoptive father's filing cabinet(橱柜)and I found an old letter, with a Vietnamese postmark. I felt delighted as I realized it was from my birth mum. Straight away, I wrote a long letter to the address she had given, explaining who I was and asking if Can was alive.Soon after, I got a simple fax back, saying, "Mother still alive, very happy to hear from you." My heart soared as I read her words. For the next few years, I exchanged letters with her and was thrilled to finally have contact withher. I was so grateful for that.24.

It differed from previous studies on the health benefits of green spaces in that it examined all of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome together collectively rather than as individual components. Having metabolic syndrome increases a person's risk for heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.The study from ISGlobal examined data from clinical examinations of over 6,000 British adults who were between 45 and 69 years old when the study began. The data was derived from four examinations participants went through between 1997 and 2013 that included blood analyses, blood pressure and measurements of weight. "These findings suggest that long-term exposure to green spaces can play an important role in preventing metabolic syndrome as a whole," according to a press release published by ISGlobal.The correlation between nearness to green spaces and better health could be associated with the expanded opportunities for physical recreation and lower exposure to air pollution, according to Carmen de Keijzer, ISGlobal researcher and principal author of the study.Female subjects were more likely than males to exhibit the study's association between living in greener neighborhoods and having fewer metabolic symptoms. "Women tend to spend more time in their residential neighborhood, which could explain this gender difference," de Keijzer said. "We need greener cities if we wanthealthier cities.” de Keijzer added.28. What do we know about the study from the first two paragraphs?A.Young people were not included in the study.B.Symptoms were examined one by one.C. It was a joint effort of several institutes.D. It was the first of its kind in decades.29. What does the underlined word "derived" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Departed.B. Arrived.C. Gained.D. Demanded.30. Why do women have fewer metabolic symptoms?A.Because they differ in gender.B.Because they live in greener cities.C.Because they live in healthier cities.D.Because they stay more in where they live.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Greener Neighborhoods, Fewer Metabolic Symptoms.B.Women Having Fewer Metabolic Symptoms.C.Metabolic Syndrome Increasing Heart Disease.D.Living in Greener and Healthier Cities.DWheat is a main source of food for people across the planet, accounting for a fifth of the calories consumed globally. But, as a result of climate change, scientists believe most parts of the world where the crop is grown will be hit by water shortages by the end of the century. And the U.S. could be among the countries worst affected, the authors of the research published in the journal Science Advances told Newsweek.If climate change isn't dealt with, by the year 2100, 60 percent of areas that grow wheat will be hit by water scarcity—up from the current level of 15 percent, according to the international team of scientists.Co-authors Miroslav Tmka and Song Feng told Newsweek that in their previous research, they had shown climate change may cause soil to become less moist across most mainland U.S. states, including those where wheat is grown. As a result, the U.S. could be "one of the top most affected wheat producers" in terms of the increase in areas affected by severe droughts, they said in a joint statement.Worryingly, existing research has predicted a 4.0 to 6.5 percent drop in global wheat production per 1 degree Celsius of warming if climate change isn't eased. And it's unlikely that wheat can be replaced if water becomes scarce, as it's not as thirsty as other crops and can do without water for a relatively long period of time."If multiple regions are affected by drought at the same time, it might be difficult to meet the demand even if the trade routes stay open and are not restricted bygovernmental measures/ warned Fengand Trnka. However, he said: "Studies show that if we continuously improve the sustainability and technologies in the coming decades and allow for international trade, we may overcome the negative impacts of climate change."32. How will climate change hurt wheat production?A.By raising ground temperature.B. By reducing water supply.C. By polluting the soil.D. By flooding the field.33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Wheat production caused droughts in most mainland U.S. states.B.The United States is the biggest wheat producer in the world.C.Climate change is closely watched by American scientists.D.The United States will suffer most from climate change.34. Why is wheat unlikely to be replaced by other crops in a drought?A.It is the primary food for most countries.B.It is not influenced by global warming.C.It is widely grown in most countries.D.It needs less water than other crops.35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Health.B. Science.C. Education.D. Entertainment.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。
