一、听力部分(略)
二、单项选择
请从21-30题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出正确的一项。
1. He was driving so fast as to get himself into a dangerous situation he was likely to lose control over his car.
A. where B. that C. which D. when
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：他开得如此之快，以致于使自己陷入一种很可能失去对汽车控制的危险境地。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是situation，在从句中充当抽象的地点状语，应用关系副词where引导从句。故选A。
2. My eldest son, ________work takes him all over the world, is in New York at the moment.
A. whose B. his C. which D. who
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我的大儿子现在在纽约，他的工作使他走遍了世界各地。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句work前缺少定语，先行词为My eldest son，故用whose，表示“我儿子的”。故选A项。
3. He was late again, ________made the teacher ________.
A. who; annoying B. which; annoyed
C. that; annoying D. that; annoyed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和形容词。句意：他再次迟到，这让老师很恼火。A. who谁；annoying令人恼火的；B. which这；annoyed恼火的；C. that那个，可以连接从句；annoying令人恼火的；D. that那个，可以连接从句；annoyed恼火的。由语意可知，此处考查非限制性定语从句，指代前文所指整个事件，即他再次迟到，故应用which引导非限制性定语从句；而他再次迟到，让老师感到恼火，故应用-ed结尾形容词annoyed。故选B项。
4. This is the very knife I used to cut apples yesterday.
A. which B. by which C. that D. with that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这就是我昨天用来切苹果的那把小刀。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词knife，指物。关系词在定语从句中作used的宾语，而先行词前面有the very的修饰，所以只能用关系代词that引导。故选C。
5. The happiness, ________ for many years, is always there for me, but I was blinded by strong desire for fame.
A. for which I have looked B. that I have looked for
C. which I have looked for D. I have looked for
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我寻找了多年的幸福，一直在我身边，但我被强烈的名利欲望蒙蔽了双眼。句中先行词为The happiness，在非限定性定语从句中作动词短语look for的宾语，所以用关系代词which引导。定语从句中，含有介词的短语动词一般不拆开，介词仍放在动词的后面。故选C。
6. ________is known to everybody, Taiwan is a part of China.
A. It B. As C. That D. Which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：众所周知，台湾是中国的一部分。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺主语，从句位于主句前，关系代词只能用as，指代整个主句，故选B。
7. Is __________ we stayed at last week
A. this hotel B. this hotel where C. this hotel one D. this the hotel
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这是我们上周住的旅馆吗 因为是特指的某个宾馆，所以用定冠词the。主句为疑问句，换成陈述句语序应是This is the hotel；句中先行词为hotel，在定语从句中作stayed at的宾语，所以用关系代词which或that引导，也可以省略关系代词。故选D。
8. Scientists will produce plastic materials from beans, but right now the new product_____ in the lab.
A. is being developed B. has been developed C. is developing D. has developed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查现在进行时的被动语态。句意：科学家将用豆科植物来制作塑料，但是现在新的产品还正在实验室里被研制。由“right now（现在，此时此刻）”可知，这句话应使用现在进行时。主语the new product是表示物体的，所以语态应使用被动语态。所以整个句子使用现在进行时的被动语态。故选A。
9. .Rainforests ＿＿and burned at such a speed that they will disappear from the earth in the future.
A. cut B. are cut C. are being cut D. had been cut
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：热带雨林正以如此快的速度被砍伐和烧毁，以至于未来它们将从地球上消失。从will disappear用的将来时，可推出，森林应是正在被砍伐，所以用现在进行时，Rainforests与cut之间是被动关系，故用现在进行时的被动语态。故选C。
10. We have to hold the meeting in the small hall because the meeting room where we planned to hold the meeting________.
A. is being decorated B. is decorating
C. will be decorated D. being decorated
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：我们不得不在小会议室里召开会议，因为原计划举行会议的会议室正在被装修。由“We have to hold the meeting in the small hall”可知，原计划举行会议的会议室正在被装修，空格处所在部分用现在进行时的被动语态，即is/are being done，主语meeting是单数，因此空格处是is being decorated。故选A。

B
“Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah Do you understand what I am saying ” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.
The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the highlight of my summers — what more can you ask from a food paradise (天堂) But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls (摊位) in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.
In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten ” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already ” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist.
14. How did the author feel in the anecdote
A. Confused and scared. B. Embarrassed and nervous.
C. Curious and surprised. D. Upset and puzzled.
15. Why did the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2
A. Because she had to stay away from her family.
B. Because she didn’t enjoy speaking the language.
C. Because she had to accept what grandparents said.
D. Because she found it hard to understand the culture.
16. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A. She was a good language learner.
B. She didn’t like being an Asian.
C. She was judged unfairly in Malaysia.
D. She spoke English unconsciously in Malaysia.
17. From which column of the website does this article probably come from
A. Culture B. News. C. Education. D. Humor.
【答案】14. B 15. D 16. D 17. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作为马来西亚人的作者在语言表达上出现了“文化差异”，这带来尴尬和不理解。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.(呆呆地盯着说话的人，我嘴唇张开，脑海中的想法清晰，但无法用我不熟悉的语言表达自己的回答。在一个不舒服的停顿之后，一堆话从我的嘴里溢出，听起来很强迫，很不自然。)”和第二段中“The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago.(上面的轶事是几年前我在马来西亚的一次半对话)”可知，在这件事情中，作者不知道如何用恰当的语言去表达自己的想法，被迫说出一些很不自然的话，由此推知，作者会感到尴尬和紧张。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls (摊位) in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.(每隔几个夏天，我就会有一个月的时间，体会到在自己的文化中做一个局外人的感觉。我是一个迷失在翻译中的女孩，被动地吸收着菜市场摊位之间喊的各种话语，在爷爷奶奶的大型家庭聚餐上默默点头。)”可知，作者作为马来西亚人，在面对自己文化时总有一种局外人的感觉，被动接受摊位上人们的话语以及聚餐时默默的回应着家人，由此可推断，作者感到愧疚的原因是发现自己不能理解自己的文化。故选D项。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“In Malaysia, I naturally burst out ‘have you eaten ’ instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent ‘you makan already ’(在马来西亚，我自然会说出“你吃过饭了吗？”，而不是想起马来西亚的对应句子“you makan already ”)”可知，作者在马来西亚说英语时，如同在美国一样是“无意识地”说出自己想表达的内容。故选D项。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合首段中的“Do you understand what I am saying ” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range.(呆呆地盯着说话的人，我嘴唇张开，脑海中的想法清晰，但无法用我不熟悉的语言表达自己的回答。)”和第二段中的“For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture.(每隔几个夏天，我就会有一个月的时间，体会到在自己的文化中做一个局外人的感觉。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作为马来西亚人的作者在语言表达上出现了“文化差异”，这带来尴尬和不理解。由此可知，本文的主题与语言文化有关系，所以很可能出自网站的文化专栏。故选A项。
C
Somalia, Kenya, and now Ethiopia are warning of a serious drought (干旱)that affects millions of people in Eastern Africa. In Ethiopia’s Somali area, people have seen the failures of what should have been three straight rainy seasons. Droughts do come and go over the years. However, the lack of rainfall has led to the driest conditions in 40 years in parts of Somalia and Ethiopia.
UNICEF is the United Nation’s children’s agency. Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gave out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. “This time, we even don’t have enough food for our family.”
Children walk among the bodies of dead animals, which died from lack of food and energy. Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country.
“We are just one month into the long dry season, and I have already lost 25 goats and sheep,” Hafsa Bedel in Ethiopia’s Somali area told UNICEF. She also lost four camels, a large desert animal, as well. She said there was nowhere for her animals to eat. She added that there was not enough food for her own family, including her six children.
UNICEF thinks that more than 150,000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school. They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.
One young boy was seen supporting an animal, a donkey. The donkey was once important for carrying goods. But now, it had become too weak to walk on its own.
18. Why did Zaynab Wali mention the last drought
A. To show the need to protect animals. B. To express her disappointment this time.
C. To prove the high frequency of drought. D. To praise the government for its timely help.
19. What is Somalia Consortium trying to do now
A. Get more foreign help.
B. Warn people of the risk of drought.
C. Offer more education to the children there.
D. Make clear the number of people in need.
20. What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us
A. The sweet picture of the boy and the animal.
B. The functions of animals in farming.
C. The importance of taking care of the weak animal.
D. The seriousness of the drought.
21. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Drought in Eastern Africa Leaves Animals in Danger
B. Drought Makes People of Eastern Africa Leave Their Home
C. UN Officials Care for Children Affected by Drought
D. Millions Face Risk as Drought Affects Eastern Africa
【答案】18 B 19. A 20. D 21. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了东非地区出现严重干旱，同时文章对干旱原因和给东非人民和动物所带来的巨大影响作了具体阐述。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gave out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. “This time, we even don’t have enough food for our family.”(当地的Zaynab Wali告诉联合国儿童基金会的一个来访小组，她和她的七个孩子从来没有见过这样的干旱。她说政府在五年前的上一次干旱中为动物分发食物。“这一次，我们甚至没有足够的食物给我们的家庭。”)”可知 Zaynab Wali提到上次的干旱中，政府甚至为动物分发食物，即当时政府考虑很全面，工作做的也很到位，连动物都考虑到了，而这次干旱中他们的食物短缺，言外之意是政府这次的安排与上次相比是很不妥的，人们正常的食物供给都没有提供足够，故推知她提到上次的干旱是想表达她这次的失望；故选B项。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country.(索马里联合会致力于改善对索马里的国际援助。它在一份单独的声明中说，在索马里，有700多万人需要紧急帮助。它要求国际组织向该国提供更多援助。)”可知索马里联合会在尽力去获得更多的国外援助；故选A项。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据文最后一段“One young boy was seen supporting an animal, a donkey. The donkey was once important for carrying goods. But now, it had become too weak to walk on its own.(有人看到一个小男孩扶着一头驴子。驴曾经是重要运载货物的工具。但是现在，它已经虚弱得不能自己走路了。)”可知驴原本作为运载货物的工具，现在虚弱的连自己走路都不行了，更别谈运货了，结合文章前面段落所述可知这是动物因干旱而导致没有食物吃所造成的，故本段主要用驴的例子来告诉我们干旱的严重性；故选D项。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一句提出索马里、肯尼亚和埃塞俄比亚都发出了严重干旱的警告，影响东非数百万人，文章后面段落对这次干旱的情况作了具体介绍，同时说明了干旱给这个区域的人们和动物所带来的巨大影响，故本文就是围绕干旱影响东非，使数百万人面临风险这一话题进行阐述的，故选项D“干旱影响东非，数百万人面临风险”适合作为本文标题；故选D项。
D
With digital devices always in hand, we are constantly connected to news, entertainment, and social interactions that seem to fill every moment of our day. It appears that boredom has nearly reached extinction. However, these short-term digital “solutions” may only serve to strengthen the grip of boredom over us. It’s like an addiction where we need more and more intense stimulation (刺激) to fight boredom. And this could finally lead to more boredom in the long run. Rather than fighting a constant battle against boredom, it is easier and more productive to actually embrace it and enjoy the benefits of being bored.
Paula Smith, a psychology professor in the UK, says boredom is an essential part of the creative process and should be applied in our day-to-day lives. During one of her studies into the effects of boredom, Smith’s researchers gave subjects various boring tasks to complete and then asked them to use their creative thinking. The people who had the most boring task — reading the phone book — came up with the most interesting uses plastic cups, which is a standard test of divergent thinking. Smith says that boredom encourages people’s minds to wander, leading them to more associative and creative ways of thinking.
Researchers in Ireland believe that boredom can encourage us to be more altruistic. In other words, boredom makes people more likely to engage in behaviors like donating to the charity and volunteering in the community. In their study, they found that when people are bored, they are less aware of their own activities and circumstances. This, they say, motivates people to search elsewhere to re-establish their self-meaning.
So next time you feel bored, don’t scroll it away on your phones. Not every gap should be filled with something to do. Sometimes less is most definitely more.
22. According to the writer, digital devices ________.
A. enable users to become more productive
B. help people enjoy the benefits of being bored
C. make it harder for users to overcome boredom
D. will eventually lead to the extinction of boredom
23. What is Smith’s research about
A. The possible solutions to boredom.
B. The application of creative thinking patterns.
C. The approaches to stimulate creative thinking.
D. The relationship between boredom and creativity.
24. The underlined word “altruistic” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. active B. generous C. creative D. confident
25. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’s opinion
A. Stay busy, stay creative.
B. Keep away from boredom.
C. When you feel bored, be bored
D. Less boredom is more creativity.
【答案】22. C 23. D 24. B 25. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对无聊的见解和看法，研究者发现，无聊是创作中必不可少的一部分，还会使人变得无私，所以无聊时就好好地享受无聊时刻吧。
【22题详解】
细节理解题题。根据第一段中的“It appears that boredom has nearly reached extinction. However, these short-term digital “solutions” may only serve to strengthen the grip of boredom over us.(看来无聊已经快要消失了。然而，这些短期的数字“解决方案”可能只会加强无聊对我们的控制。)”可知，数字设备看似使得无聊消失，其实使我们更加受到了无聊的控制，由此可以推断，数字设备使得者更难克服无聊。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Paula Smith, a psychology professor in the UK, says boredom is an essential part of the creative process and should be applied in our day-to-day lives. (英国心理学教授Paula Smith说，无聊是创作过程中必不可少的一部分，应该应用到我们的日常生活中。)”和“Smith says that boredom encourages people’s minds to wander, leading them to more associative and creative ways of thinking. (Smith说，无聊会鼓励人们的思维漫游，引导他们采取更具联想性和创造性的思维方式。)”可知，Smith教授通过研究发现，无聊是创造性过程中必不可少的一部分，与创造性思维方式密切相关，由此可知，Smith教授的研究的是关于无聊与创造性思维的关系。故选D项。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In other words, boredom makes people more likely to engage in behaviors like donating to the charity and volunteering in the community.(换句话说，无聊使人们更有可能从事诸如向慈善机构捐款和在社区做志愿者之类的行为。)”的“in other words”可知，该句是对单词所在句子的解释，该句话表明了无聊时人们更愿意参加类似于捐赠和社区的志愿者活动，由此可知，无聊能鼓励人们从事慈善活动，结合选项可知，B项中的“慷慨的”与此意义相近。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Rather than fighting a constant battle against boredom, it is easier and more productive to actually embrace it and enjoy the benefits of being bored.(与其与无聊进行持续的战斗，不如更容易、更有成效地真正拥抱它并享受无聊的好处。)”以及尾段中的“So next time you feel bored, don’t scroll it away on your phones.(因此，下次您感到无聊时，请不要在手机上消磨无聊时间了。)”可知，作者认为，无聊的时候就好好的去享受无聊的时刻，不需要用手机去打发无聊时间。故选C项。
第二节 七选五
Cold showers are common practice in many countries and have been around for much longer before we were spoiled with in-home water heaters. Many health benefits are associated with taking cold showers, the most popular one being improved circulation (血液循环). Cold water hitting the body causes blood to move closer to the inner organs to keep them warm.___26___
Also, those who take a cold shower in the morning are most likely to be more energetic than people who take a hot shower. ___27___ This, in turn, increases your oxygen intake and heart rate, leading to improved awareness and a more energetic state.
Besides, as you take a cold shower, your body struggles to stay warm by increasing its metabolic (新陈代谢) rate.____28____ These cells are responsible for protecting your body and increasing your immune system, making you less likely to be affected by disease.
Additionally, as the cold water shocks the nervous system, the nerves send a signal to the brain and activate the part of the brain responsible for releasing hormones that reduce depression.
___29___ Having a shower with cold water will close pores (毛孔) in your skin and also make your hair appear smooth, shiny and healthy.
____30____ Turn that tap to cold every now and then boost your health, and save some pennies on the heating bill in the process.
A. So, what are you waiting for
B. Do you believe in these benefits of cold showers
C. That act increases the overall blood circulation in your body.
D. Lots of white blood cells will soon disappear from your body after that.

G. The sudden touch of cold water will surprise the body, leaving you taking a deep breath.
【答案】26. C 27. G 28. E 29. F 30. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章从几方面介绍了洗冷水浴的好处。
【26题详解】

【27题详解】
上句介绍早上洗冷水澡人比洗热水澡的人更有活力，下文应该分析其原因，G项：冷水的突然接触会让你的身体感到惊讶，让你深吸一口气。解释了让人精力充沛的原因，故选G。
【28题详解】
根据上句as you take a cold shower, your body struggles to stay warm by increasing its metabolic (新陈代谢) rate.可知洗冷水浴时，身体会努力通过增加代谢来保持温暖。因为它认为自己受到攻击，结果会导致身体产生更多的白细胞。E项与之连接，表达了结果。故选E。
【29题详解】
下句Having a shower with cold water will close pores (毛孔) in your skin and also make your hair appear smooth, shiny and healthy.讲述了洗冷水浴能紧致皮肤，使头发柔顺有光泽。这些都是能看到的对外表的影响。F项：当你照镜子时，冷水澡的另一个不太明显的好处可能会被发现。与下句连接，故选F。
【30题详解】
下句建议我们时不时地洗冷水浴，既能保持健康又能省钱。So, what are you waiting for 总结全文，引起下句。故选A。

【46题详解】

【47题详解】

【49题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意：自2011年以来，他已经帮助了大约400只动物。时间状语since 2011，该句的谓语需要用现在完成时，句子的主语是he是第三人称。故填has helped。
【50题详解】

【52题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：为了填补这一空白，Stewart经常被发现在无家可归者可能在的任何地方游荡。Stewart和find是被动关系，又因空前由情态动词can。故填be found。
【53题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：他带着他的医疗包，里面装着他遇到的病例的治疗方法。先行词是 his medical bag，从句里缺少主语。故填which。
【54题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：有些人质疑无家可归者是否应该养宠物。在there be句型当中，question与其逻辑主语some people是主动关系。故填questioning。
【55题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：无家可归者养宠物还有一个更紧迫的原因：他们的动物是他们早上起床的理由。在there be 句型中不定式作所修饰名词的后置定语。故填to have。

“Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah Do you understand what I am saying ” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.
The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the highlight of my summers — what more can you ask from a food paradise (天堂) But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls (摊位) in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.
In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten ” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already ” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist.
14. How did the author feel in the anecdote
A. Confused and scared. B. Embarrassed and nervous.
C. Curious and surprised. D. Upset and puzzled.
15. Why did the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2
A. Because she had to stay away from her family.
B. Because she didn’t enjoy speaking the language.
C. Because she had to accept what grandparents said.
D. Because she found it hard to understand the culture.
16. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A. She was a good language learner.
B. She didn’t like being an Asian.
C. She was judged unfairly in Malaysia.
D. She spoke English unconsciously in Malaysia.
17. From which column of the website does this article probably come from
A. Culture B. News. C. Education. D. Humor.
C
Somalia, Kenya, and now Ethiopia are warning of a serious drought (干旱)that affects millions of people in Eastern Africa. In Ethiopia’s Somali area, people have seen the failures of what should have been three straight rainy seasons. Droughts do come and go over the years. However, the lack of rainfall has led to the driest conditions in 40 years in parts of Somalia and Ethiopia.
UNICEF is the United Nation’s children’s agency. Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gave out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. “This time, we even don’t have enough food for our family.”
Children walk among the bodies of dead animals, which died from lack of food and energy. Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country.
“We are just one month into the long dry season, and I have already lost 25 goats and sheep,” Hafsa Bedel in Ethiopia’s Somali area told UNICEF. She also lost four camels, a large desert animal, as well. She said there was nowhere for her animals to eat. She added that there was not enough food for her own family, including her six children.
UNICEF thinks that more than 150,000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school. They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.

With digital devices always in hand, we are constantly connected to news, entertainment, and social interactions that seem to fill every moment of our day. It appears that boredom has nearly reached extinction. However, these short-term digital “solutions” may only serve to strengthen the grip of boredom over us. It’s like an addiction where we need more and more intense stimulation (刺激) to fight boredom. And this could finally lead to more boredom in the long run. Rather than fighting a constant battle against boredom, it is easier and more productive to actually embrace it and enjoy the benefits of being bored.
Paula Smith, a psychology professor in the UK, says boredom is an essential part of the creative process and should be applied in our day-to-day lives. During one of her studies into the effects of boredom, Smith’s researchers gave subjects various boring tasks to complete and then asked them to use their creative thinking. The people who had the most boring task — reading the phone book — came up with the most interesting uses plastic cups, which is a standard test of divergent thinking. Smith says that boredom encourages people’s minds to wander, leading them to more associative and creative ways of thinking.
Researchers in Ireland believe that boredom can encourage us to be more altruistic. In other words, boredom makes people more likely to engage in behaviors like donating to the charity and volunteering in the community. In their study, they found that when people are bored, they are less aware of their own activities and circumstances. This, they say, motivates people to search elsewhere to re-establish their self-meaning.
So next time you feel bored, don’t scroll it away on your phones. Not every gap should be filled with something to do. Sometimes less is most definitely more.

A. active B. generous C. creative D. confident
25. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’s opinion
A. Stay busy, stay creative.
B. Keep away from boredom.
C. When you feel bored be bored
