It was late,,when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station;she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son.She’d just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before.She practically11on autopilot:a left onto Station Road,then a left on Montauk Highway,and then—wham!Out of nowhere
a car T-boned Esposito’s minivan,12her to move backward some100feet onto the railroad tracks.She 13in the minivan,bruised(撞伤)but mostly just knocked out by the14and the airbags.
As it happened,Pete DiPinto was getting ready for15.He’d just closed his book and was getting under the covers when he heard the sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window.A volunteer16and retired teacher,DiPinto,64,never17to think.He grabbed a flashlight and,still dressed in his pajamas(睡衣),ran out the door.“Any firefighter would have done what I did,”he told Newsday.“We’re always on18.”
The first car he came upon,2,000feet from his front yard,was the one that had19Esposito.Once DiPinto
concluded the driver was OK,he looked around and20Esposito’s minivan positioned on the the railroad tracks.And then he heard a terrible sound:the bells signaling an oncoming21.
“The gates were starting to come down,”he told Newsday.“I see the headlight of the train.”DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito’s minivan and knocked on the driver’s side window.She22looked at him,her eyes unfocused.“I don’t know where I am,”she said.She seemed unhurt.“Honey,you’re on the railroad23,”DiPinto shouted.“We have to get you off right now!”He pulled hard on the24,but the door was crashed in and25.The heavy diesel train,traveling at65miles per hour,was moving fast toward them.DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the26.“Please,don’t let her be27,”he thought.He pushed aside the deflating(瘪了的)airbags,grabbed Esposito’s arms,and28her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to29behind a signal box a few feet away.Within six seconds, he estimated,the train crashed into the minivan.“It was like a Hollywood movie,”DiPinto told reporters the next day.
But this one had a twist.“Last night,”South Country Ambulance chief Greg Miglino told
CBS New York,“the30arrived in pajamas,not in a fire truck.”

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
What it does
The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic(光催化)and blacklight technology.A light source activates the door’s handle coating,telling it to start cleaning.It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.How it works
The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively decompose bacteria(细菌)on the surface of a substance.A consistent UV light source—inside a transparent glass door handle—is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection,so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then,the door handle can clean by itself.
Design process
We made the first version by using stainless steel.However,it caused the door handle to be heavier.Then, we tried aluminum,which made it light and easy to fix.We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.
How it is different
Our innovative design is simple,effective,and attractive.It has an elegant smooth shape,and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions.Nowadays,people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body.Our design can be used for a long time and is effective.It can self-clean after each use.In the door lock and door handle market,it is a unique design because there are no similar products.
Future plans
In the future,we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products.We are going to connect with public properties,for example,shopping malls,hotels,hospitals and public restrooms,where the risk of spreading infection is higher.

31.How does the self-cleaning door handle function?
A.It controls the door movement automatically.
B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.
C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.
D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.
32.Compared with the first version of the product,the present one is.
A.safer and cheaper
B.cleaner and easier
C.less heavy and more effective
< attractive and expensive
33.What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?
A.It has been widely used in public areas.
B.It has received recognition for its innovation.
C.It is quite competitive among similar products.
D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.

This little South American Magellanic penguin swims5,000miles,to a beach in
Brazil,every year in order to be reunited with the man who saved its life.It sounds like
something out of a fairy tale,but it’s true!
71-year-old retired brick worker Joao,who lives in an island village just outside Rio
de Janeiro,Brazil,found the small Magellanic penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in2011.The penguin was covered in oil and running out of time fast.Joao rescued the penguin,naming it Din,cleaned the oil off its feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild its strength.After a week of recovery,Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the wild.However,Din had already formed a family bond with his rescuer and wouldn’t leave.
“He stayed with me for11months and then,just after he changed his coat with new feathers,he disappeared,”Joao recalls.“I love the penguin like it’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,”Joao told Globo TV.“No one else is allowed to touch him.He pecks(啄)them if they do.He lies on my lap,lets me give him showers, and allows me to feed him.”
Professor Krajewski,a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV,told The Independent:“I have never seen anything like this before.I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”
However,environmentalists warn that,while hundreds of the Magellanic species are known to naturally migrate(迁徙)thousands of miles north in search of food,there has been a worrying rise in the phenomenon of oceanic creatures washing up on Brazil’s beaches.Professor David Zee from Rio de Janeiro’s State University,
said the increase is due in part to global climatic changes.Professor Zee added that sea animals face increased danger from leaked tanker oil.
Luckily the ending for Joao and Din has been a happy one,even though it is illegal in Brazil to keep wild animals as pets.
Professor Krajewski said:“Professionals who work with animals try to avoid relationships like this occurring so they are able to reintroduce the animal into the wild.But in this single case the authorities allowed Din to stay with Joao because of his kindness.”
34.Every year Din swims a long distance to a beach in Brazil to.
A.avoid being killed
< his rescuer
firefighterC.escape from ocean currents
D.find much more fish
35.When Din was found in2011,.
A.he was dying
B.he was running on the beach
C.he was resting on a rock
D.he was cleaning oil off his feathers
36.What can we learn about Joao from the passage?
A.He is not allowed to keep the penguin as a pet by the authorities.
B.He overprotects the penguin by keeping him away from others.
C.His contact with the penguin is encouraged by professionals.
D.His kindness wins the penguin’s trust.
37.The story in the passage mainly shows.
A.the environmental impact on wildlife
B.the love between humans and wildlife
C.the tendency of wildlife to bond with humans
D.the protection of threatened wildlife by mankind

Store owners have been inventing new tricks to get consumers into their stores and purchasing their goods. Even as we find new strategies to resist,neuroscientists(神经科学家)are employed at marketing agencies across the country to best figure out what is going through a consumer’s brain at each point in the decision process.
We consumers overspend due to the fact that we have a fear of missing the really good deal or having to pay more for the same thing and lose money.Normally,the prefrontal cortex(前额皮层)controls our emotional reactions to things,and keeps us from acting unreasonably by calming down our fears.But an advertiser can disturb our prefrontal cortex just by displaying flashy deal signs,encouraging it to do math on how much money we might save now by buying more of something we don’t actually need yet.
Nostalgia,that regretful affection for past events,is another strong influencer during the holiday season,and
