There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond near their homes to get a better look.First, they threw a rock onto the ice to test it. Convinced the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, and then he crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “There was no sound, no crack,” he told the reporter. “I just fell through instantly.”Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend. And the pond swallowed him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the water and onto a more solid section. He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony, but he fell in the po nd again. This time, he couldn’t get out.The boys were in icy cold water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs （四肢）. Cruz was sure that he was going to die.Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming for help.John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy（浮标）, kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and dragged them back to land. They were taken to hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still a little awestruck (敬畏的) by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “if he hadn’t been there, I could have died.”24. Why did the boys go to the frozen pond?A. They were curious about whether the ice could hold their weight.B. They wanted to have a better look at the pond.C. They wanted to know what kind of birds were on the ice.D. They wanted to go skating on the ice.25. Before the boys walked onto the ice, ______.A. they argued over who should be the first to goB. they threw a rock to test whether the ice was strong enoughC. they asked Anthony’s older sister to stay nearby to protect themD. they grabbed a nearby buoy and kicked off their shoes26. What did Cruz do when Anthony fell into the pond?A. He went to help his friend.B. He went to ask for his sister’s help.C. He went to ask for his neighbor’s help.D. He went to find a buoy nearby.27. From this passage, we can infer that _____.A. Anthony’s older sister went to the pond with the two boysB. a strange passer-by saved the two boysC. Cruz fell into the pond with Anthony at the same timeD. the two boys were very grateful to their neighborCLocated on the waters of Lake Superior, Rabbit Island is a remote place where few people live. While this tiny island may not look big from up above, it’s a piece of undeveloped nature, the perfect place for artists from all fields to come and inspire their creativity.It was that vision that made New Yorker Rob Gorski purchase the island on Craigslist in 2010. He wanted to protect the island’s natural state. But Gorski had more than preserving nature in mind. He saw an opportunity to create a place where artists, musicians, writers, dancers and other creative types could reconnect with nature while learning about environmental protection and sustainability (可持续性).Shortly after that, Gorski worked with friend and artist Andrew Ranville and created the Rabbit Island Foundation. The organization’s main goal is to host artist living programs during the summer while also teaching and supporting environmental protection, sustainability and serving “as a platform for science, art, preservation and recreation for the generations.” In keeping with the belief that the island should remain largely untouched, the artists follow a “leave no trace” policy. Small solar panels (板) are used to produce electricity, and buildings are simple and modest. There’s also the added benefit that there are no modern distractions (分心的事情) for the artists — no Internet, no television.What sets Rabbit Island apart from other arts programs is the fluidity (流动性) of the programs. Artists are encouraged to experience being on their own and listen to what nature is trying to tell them. Ranville hopes the artists have a better understanding and appreciation for nature, just as he does with his art.28. Which words can best describe Rabbit Island?A. Beautiful and interesting.B. Big but peaceful.C. Remote and undeveloped.D. Small but mysterious.29. Apart from preserving nature, another reason why Rob Gorski purchased Rabbit Island is that __________.A. he was preparing to make an investmentB. he hoped to leave the property to his grandchildrenC. he wanted to create a place for artists to connect with natureD. he planned to provide a place for people to spend their holidays30. Which of the following are features of living on Rabbit Island?a. They use solar panels to produce electricity.b. Buildings there are simple and modest.c. The house foundations are solid and permanent.d. There is no Internet or television.A. abc.B. abd.C. acd.D. bcd.31. What is special about Rabbit Island compared with other arts programs?A. It is mainly to help poor artists.B. Its location isn’t that convenient.C. Artists are taught how to develop other islands.D. Artists are encouraged to experience nature on their own.DWorries about the extra time needed to walk or bike to work are a big reason people get into their cars, but those worries may be unfounded.In a new study, researchers asked 253 staff and 252 students at Penn State how often they drove, took the bus, walked, or biked to school. Participants also answered questions about how long they thought it would take them to walk or bike from their home to school. Google Maps calculated actual travel times.According to the findings, about 91 percent of staff incorrectly estimated (估计) how long it would take to walk to school, and about 93 percent overestimated how long it would lake to bike.Students were a little better at estimating travel times－about 55 percent incorrectly estimated walking times and about 43 percent misestimated biking times. Almost everyone who was not accurate overestimated the travel time.The findings clarify the barriers that keep people from walking or biking, sometimes referred to as“active travel,” says Melissa Bopp, a professor at Penn State. He pointed out the key to getting people to travel more actively is to learn more about people’ s knowledge, altitudes, and beliefs.“I can’ t change your age, but I can change your knowledge,”Bopp says.Several characteristics could predict if someone was more likely to estimate travel time incorrectly. Staff who thought parking was more available and accessible were more discordant （不一致的), and women were more likely to be more discordant than men.On the contrary, people who rode a bike or walked more often were more likely to accurately predict travel times.While the study looked at people predicting travel time when they shared a common destination, the results have broader meanings.32. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “unfounded” in Paragraph 1?A.unnecessary.B. normal.C. disturbing.D. beneficial.33. What conclusion can we draw from the findings?A. School staff lack common sense.B. Everyone overestimated the traveling time by bike.C.School students estimated more accurately in the study.D. Students have higher intelligence than school staff.34. What matters in getting people involved in “active travel”?A. Weight.B. Status.C. Age.D. Knowledge.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Walking or biking is beneficial to you.B. Walking or biking is quicker than you’ d think.C. Walking or biking is becoming more popular.D. People walking or biking can predict accurately.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。
