ALeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do－it－yourself, father－and－son adventure，” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with，” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30，000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2，000—and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10，” says paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags，” he says.Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. “The goal，” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带)．”21．Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A．The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B．A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C．To master the disabled hand was important.D．The original hand could do many tasks.22．Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________．A．collecting money on the InternetB．buying a prosthetic handC．purchasing a 3D printerD．printing a hand23．The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as ________．A．cheap and commonB．strange and valuableC．personal and lovelyD．basic and solid24．What's the best title for the text?A．A DIY Enthusiast B．A Helping HandC．A Great Adventure D．A Lucky EscapeBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.25．Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________．A．sad B．surprisedC．nervous D．disappointed26．What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A．He should try to find its owner.B．He could wear it for Halloween.C．He should return it to West Point.D．He could send it to others for free.27．The author called the West Point Museum because he thought ________．A．the jacket was made thereB．the jacket's owner worked thereC．the workers there needed the jacketD．the jacket might be collected by the museum28．According to the text, Kim McDermott ________．A．happened to be the owner of the jacketB．was a student graduating from West PointC．could find a record of the graduatesD．was a family member of the authorCWatson entered Mr.Smith's office.The boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson，” said Mr.Smith，“this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I'm sorry，—but you'll have to go.” “But，sir—if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that！” said the boss.“Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know，sir.But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ (冠军)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then，suddenly，he said，“We've got to close your department，Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”Watson got out，with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read：I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人)．But don't worry about me，Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won't even know about.Your son，Herbie 29．Mr.Smith wanted to fire Watson because ________．A．Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB．Watson had his son study in Riverside SchoolC．Watson's son knocked a boy down who hit HerbieD．Watson's department didn't earn money that year30．We can learn from the text that ________．A．Mr.Smith didn't know that Champ was Watson's son at firstB．Mr.Smith was told not to fire Watson by HerbieC．Mr.Smith decided to give Watson another chance in no timeD．Mr.Smith wanted to realize Champ's dream31．According to the text，which words can best describe Mr.Smith?

The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close－Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210，000 books to libraries and schools across the country.Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider－Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider－Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein)．Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story，” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for t hese kids to start to enjoy reading，” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close－Up program.”David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider－Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places，” he told TFK.33．What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?A．To donate books to libraries and schools.B．To encourage students to use the library.C．To excite children's interest in reading.D．To introduce some new comic books.34．By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Parag raph 3, Drake Bell means ________．A．comic books make kids imaginative and interestedB．there are colorful pictures in most comic booksC．common books with only words are bad for kidsD．comic books are much better than common books35．Who stressed the benefit of reading?A．Drake Bell.

Have you ever looked toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds? If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way? Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds.One theory is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow, the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less energy during their flight. When the lead bird becomes tired, a more rested bird takes over that position.But saving energy is important for more than one reason. Sometimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals.When food is sighted, the birds guide one another in a different way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction. Then, this bird becomes the new leader. It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the whole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food.Scientists have also studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds come together if apredator（天敌）is spotted. The predator may then become impatient waiting for asingle bird to fly away from the group. The birds will often dip and dive as a group, frustrating even the most persistent enemy. Scientists reportthat this is a very effective method of defense against an attack.The birds care for their fellow fliers through teamwork. Astransportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forwardtogether, then success takes care of itself.” When it comes to teamwork,these feathered fliers are a soaring success!1. According to the passage, we can learn that birds ___________.A. move faster than cyclistsB. prefer to fly in a V formationC. are smarter than other animalsD.play different roles in a formation2. When food is sighted, ____________.A. the group follows the discovererB. the lead bird decides what to doC. the discoverer leaves the groupD. the whole group forms a stream3. To protect themselves from attack, birds will _____________ .A. break into groupsB. come close togetherC. change directionsD. fly up and down4. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A Bird‟s-Eye View of Teamwork.B. Success Takes Care of Itself.C. The Strongest Will Survive.D. A Science Behind Flying.【科普知识型---阅读理解】It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour. Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.What is your cat's IQ?In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areasare.”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat willreturn to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．So, if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and halfclosed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation，”Brunt said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．Cats can copy humans' schedule.B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.D．Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.2．What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Humans' keeping searching the fridge.B．Cats' going to their owners for food.C．Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.D．Humans' leaving cats home while working.3．What can we learn from our cats?A．To remain calm.B．To be able to copy.C．To stay proud.D．To look up to friends.4．The best title for the passage could be “________”．A．Your cat can bring you pleasureB．You are copying your catC．You can make your cat socialD．Your cat is copying your habit短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Who Owns the Moon?Within the next ten years, the U. S. , China, Israel, anda crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon.So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property(财产)rights?A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask:Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The OuterSpace Treaty, the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies(天体)are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions(派遣团)to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.“This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world, ”said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的)public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.【文章大意】本文介绍了世界范围内的登陆月球热, 以及作者对这种现象的担忧。

Mention the terms Italian Culture and Renaissance Art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.The renaissance period had a deep effect on European culture development. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art.Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. This was completely different from the religion that Christianity(基督教)stressed. However, that does not mean that they refused Christianity. In fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.In Raphael’s School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with Leonardo da Vinci being given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1267—1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377—1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique.【文章大意】文章介绍了文艺复兴的发源地意大利在当时的背景下的文化特色和相关艺术家在这个时期的作用。

A Mountain of Green BeansAnother envelope in the mail. There’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing.The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and … statement of pu rpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.The pile scares me — it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.A.doesn’t know how to replyB.feels bored of the paper workC.doesn’t want to attend collegeD.has been too busy to open them2.

But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.A.doesn’t know how to replyB.feels bored of the paper workC.doesn’t want to attend collegeD.has been too busy to open them2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?A. A good start is half done.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. A long journey begins with a single step.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.3. What do you think the author will do next?A. He will fill out the applications one after another.B. He will go to the college that he dreams of.C. He will throw away all the envelopes.D. He will eat up the green beans.【参考答案】1—3、B C A阅读理解。

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Loo king down, I immediately recognized that something was wron g, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holdin g her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the r ushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washe d clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turne d quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and tr unk against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picke d it up in her trunk andtried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she di d, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, b ut it was on the other side from where she had put her calf. While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the soun d of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she coul d, roaring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.1.
