ANext time your plane lands, listen to the sound of the tyres hitting the ground. The reason the tyres don’t explode is because they are made of natural rubber. The tyres of cars, motorbikes and trucks are also often made of the same stuff.Natural rubber comes from trees, Workers cut the trunks of the trees and collect a white liquid called latex. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, huge numbers of rubber trees were planted in countries including Malaysia, Burma and Brazil. More than a century ago, scientists discovered how to make man-made rubber, but natural rubber is much stronger and can last much longer. Nearly half the rubber which is produced each year is natural rubber and there is always a need for more.Rubber trees are not easy to grow. They are affected by changes in temperature, to much or not enough rain, high winds and disease. Some trees survive while others die and it’s all down to their genes. Two British organizations, the Tun Abdul Razak Research Center (TARRC) and The Genome Analysis Center (TGAC), have been working together to look at rubber trees. This is the genes fit together in very long chains of DNA．The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree or animal needs to grow. The genome contains all the information the plant or animal needs to grow. The genome for a plant such as a rubber tree is smaller than a human genome but it is still very long, which is why it has been so difficult to find. As Ewan Mollison of TARRC says, the work has been like putting a picture puzzle together where all the pieces show blue sea and blue sky.Now scientists can use the rubber tree genome to produce stronger trees. By understanding the genome, they can change the DNA in rubber trees in useful ways. They can also do it much faster than before. In the future, it will be possible to grow trees which survive climate change and disease.1．What characteristics of natural rubber can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A．Inexpensive.B．Flexible C．Conductive D．Explosive.2．What made natural rubber so demanding each year?A．Quantities of rubber trees were planted in Southeast AsiaB．Rubber trees are not easily affected by the climate change.C．By now scientists haven’t discovered how to make man-made rubber.D．Natural rubber is much tougher and more lasting than man-made rubber.3．What does Ewan Mollison suggest in Paragraph 3?A．The work sounds as interesting as a picture puzzle.B．The genome of a rubber tree is as blue as sea and sky.C．The genome of a rubber tree is not easy to be identifiedD．Completing a picture puzzle with sea and sky is difficult.4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Origin of Natural RubberB．The Application of Natural RubberC．Natural Rubber: It’s All in the genesD．Natural Rubber VS Man-made RubberBJeremy Locke, who owns a roofing and construction company in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, had always been wanting to repair the roof of Jeanette MacDonald's home. Whenever he drove past the woman's home, he assumed that the roof was under repair because the job had already been taken on by another group of repairmen—but as the weeks wore on, the roof continued to worsen without any signs of repair.“ I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our community, I’d be more than happy to,” Locke told CBC．When Locke finally reached out to MacDonald about fixing her roof for free, however, she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept charity. That being said, she had already applied for a government grant （补助金）to fix the roof and she said she was more than happy to hire Locke once her grant application was approved.Unfortunately, MacDonald never received the approval.As the stubborn （固执的）Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke, the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help. He invited MacDonald to enter a raffle （抽奖活动）that his business was holding for a free roof. After the grandmother — of — four accepted one of the raffle tickets, Locke told her that she was the winner—because she was the only one who had entered the raffle.Thanks to his sweet little plan, Locke and his crew are starting work on the roof this week, which is expected to cost his company about $9, 000.MacDonald, meanwhile, told CBC that she doesn't know how to express her gratitude to Locke, saying that he is her “guardian angel”."There's nobody out there like him," she added.5．What did Locke desire to do for MacDonald?A．Repair her roof.B．Find a repairman.C．Run a charity.D．Raise money.6．Why did MacDonald refuse Locke's offer initially?A．She didn't trust him.B．She had won a raffle.C．She didn't like free help.D．She had got an official grant.7．How did Locke finally make MacDonald change her mind?A．He persuaded her to give up her application.B．He invited her to enter his business.C．He gave her about $9, 000.D．He told her a white lie.8．Which of the following words best describe Locke?A．Stubborn and tricky.B．Wealthy and innocent.C．Determined and warm-hearted.D．Different and ambitious.CNobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.It's hard to change the mindset (心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes extenal pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.9．What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?A．The great courage to face it.B．The efforts made to handle it.C．Unexpected benefits it brings.D．Unpleasant side effects it brings.10．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A．Bring up the main topic.B．List the challenges in our life.C．Add some background information.D．Stress the importance of the mindset11．What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A．The causes of children's anxiety.B．Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.C．The consequences of overprotecting children.D．Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.12．Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?① Praise kids' every achievement.② Make kids embrace a bright mindset.③ Focus on the process of kids' effort④ Expand kids' knowledge about the world.⑤ Encourage kids to make new attempts.A．①②④B．②③④C．②③⑤D．①③⑤D13．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the studio’s services? A．Frames come in three different colors and sizes.B．There is no need to make an appointment to take photos.C．Photographs will be delivered within three business days.D．Someone on the staff can help customers look good.14．How much can non-club members save when they use the Fantastic Package Plan instead of buying the same products individually?A．$20. B．$30.C．$40. D．$50.15．We can learn from the text that ______.A．club members need to pay a $40 membership fee every yearB．as many as five pictures can be included in a Multi-image sheetC．customers can receive a 20th anniversary discount until December 31D．you must have a Fantastic Club membership to receive a free gift第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

ASomething you may not know about End of HeatThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat is the 14th solar term of the year, which implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.The following are the things you should know about End of Heat.Time for night-blooming cereus(昙花)The night-blooming cereus is a flower full of mystery, which often blooms during the period of End of Heat. This is because the climate during End of Heat, characterized by warm days and cold nights, is similar to tropical deserts. Night-blooming cereus originates in the tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil in South America. They blossom at night to avoid the blazing daytime sun.Eating DuckDuck has a sweet flavor and according to Chinese traditional medicine it has a“cool”nature. Afolk tradition is to eat duck during the End of Heat period.

The tradition of eating duck during the End of Heat period is still popular in China.The Fishing Season FestivalFor fishermen, the End of Heat is a season of harvest. During this period, the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province. The festival is held on the day when the fishing ban ends and fishermen can start fishing again. Due to high temperatures in the sea, stocks of fish remain and become mature. People can enjoy many kinds of seafood during this period.1．About End of Heat, which of the following statements is true?A. It means the whole China has entered autumn.B. The areas beyond the Great Wall are still hot.C．In south China, the temperature is still high．D. It is the end of the harvest season for farmers.2.

When a library goer scanned Tutu’s QR code, Wangbao seemingly became annoyed, which brought a great amusement to the library goer who posted a video of the exchange that occurred on December 30 and has gone viral on social media.“Tutu, let’s stop fighting, OK?”said Wangbao．“Your mood sure swings a lot!”Tutu said.Wangbao raved, “Aren’t you a drama queen, I’m giving you an out. Stop being petulant!’’The library goer was even more amused, as the two robots grew noisier and angrier with each other, and finally, abruptly turning away from each other like naughty children.“It looks like how you quarrel with your girlfriend, ha-ha. ”one netizen posted.“I see myself from the quarrel, ”wrote another on Sina Weibo, which was echoed by many others.“It’s annoying to hear people arguing, and I didn’t expect I'd have to listen to robots arguing, ”another netizen wrote.The online video was widely circulating on Sina Weibo, with some 500, 000 views as of press time on Saturday. Tutu and Wangbao became internet hot figures, even attracting attention from major news outlets in the country.When the two online celebrities were interviewed by reporters on Friday, the two seems already forgave each other after three days．“It was a thing last year…Isn’t it normal to have quarrels between friends?’’Wangbao said in video posted by the Xinhua News Agency on Saturday.4. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?A. To show how smart the two robots are.B. To increase our awareness of AI technology.C. To introduce the following parts.D. To criticize the quarrel between the two robots.5. What was the library goer’s attitude towards the argument?A. Amazed.B. Entertained.C. Puzzled.D. Excited.6．By presenting some netizens’comments, the author intends to tell us____．A. the fight draws the public’s great attentionB. the fight has an awful effect on people’s lifeC. the fight takes place on a regular basisD. the fight feels like a real one7. Where is the text most likely from?A. A textbook.B. A diary.C. A magazine.D. A website.CAs Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bush-fires, koala populations have declined along with their habitat, leading to koalas becoming“functionally extinct”. The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Tabart, estimates that over 1, 000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play an important role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer possible to live.Deforestation and bush-fires destroy the main food source of koalas, the eucalyptus(桉树)tree. An adult koala will eat up to 2 pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day as its main food.Many are asking the Australian government to pass The Koala Protection Act, written in 2016 but never passed into law. The Koala Protection Act would work to protect habitat and trees important to koala as well as protect koalas from hunting.Recent videos of Australians saving koalas has led to increased donation to help burned koalas. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me page seeking donations to help the hospital treat injured koalas. To date, they have raised$1. 33 million, well over their $25, 000 goal, which comes from over 30, 000 donors. The funds will also be used for a“Koala Ark”as a refuge for burned koalas to live in healthy habitat.8．According to the first paragraph, what can we know about the drought and bush-fires?A. They are the most serious ones in the history of Australian.B. They have made koalas extinct.C. They have killed 80％of the koalas.D. They brought the most serious influence to Australian.9. When does functional extinction happen?A. When a species becomes extinct.B. When a species is limited to certain habitat.C. When ecosystem no longer plays an important role.D. When the number of a species becomes so small that they have little chance to live. 10．According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____．A. koalas mainly feed on eucalyptus tree leavesB. the Australian government has passed The Koala Protection Act into lawC. The Koala Protection Act is aimed to protect koalas and its habitatD. a good many Australians are quite concerned about koalas11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Some videos require people to donate for koalas.B. Go Fund Me page treated injured koalas.C. Australians have deep love for koalas and donate generously to help them.D. The funds will be used to set up healthy habitat for koalas.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents’attention. The entire family’s resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same resources are split between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to shrink.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive．Each child is enrolled in fewer after-school training classes．But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in China’s traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to People’s Daily. It also spares the only child from the pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.China’s public education system is also expected to shift. Currently, there are not enough vacancies in kindergarten and schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“It’s not only the enrollment capacity of educational institutions that will feel the pressure．People are also placing more emphasis on the quality of education, ”Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Center at Fudan University, told China Education Daily．He predicts the government may have to invest more to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.12. What can children benefit from a two-child family?A. They can have less pressure.B. They can study in private schools.C. They can get much more attention.D. They can take more after-school training classes.13. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“accommodate”?A. holdB. adaptC. solveD. consider14. What can we infer from Peng Xizhe’s words?A. People are placing more emphasis on the quality of education.B. The government may have to invest more to support the educational system.C. The new family planning measure will challenge the current educational system.D. The educational institutions will feel the pressure that their capacity is not enough.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show benefits of owning two children.B. To persuade people to bear more children.C. To encourage people to have only one child.D. To introduce the impact of two-child policy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

I ran into my parents’ room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I’d never seen my dad cry before.

Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was 41 ; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life, she was still happy.When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew 42 .

About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked on the phone at least twice a week 44 the end. In a way, she lived through me.

Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low doses of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. “Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,” Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. “The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)”associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,” Wright said.Bee populations have declining since xx. The dramatic drop in the insects’ numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.56. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.57. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry, will probably feel________.A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD. excited58. Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?A. improved memory — caffeine nectar — better pollinationB. caffeine nectar — improved memory — better pollinationC. improved memory — better pollination — caffeine nectarD. caffeine nectar — better pollination — improved memory59. We can know from the passage that ________.A. the rat is a mammalB. caffeine has nothing to do with memoryC. bees are good at remembering floral traitsD. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own60. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. SportsBIf you’re thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz – the equivalent of a whole dress size – while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most mon vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: “We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quic k fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying, pared to 20 per cent of men. Unfortunately, it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.61. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________.A. on the faceB. on the legsC. on the feetD. in the middle62. What’s the main reason of eat ing snacks in office?A. Colleagues eat them to save money.B. Staff use them to cope with their lunch.C. Colleagues often bring them to office.D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.63. Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?A. Because it has much of nutrition.B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.64. It can be inferred that British women are ________.A. less likely to lie on snacks than menB. more likely to lie on snacks than menC. more ashamed of eating snacks than menD. less ashamed of eating snacks than men65. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A. act againstB. appeal toC. cope withD. get inCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的)．Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here es the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it es to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thou ght of as “character”．EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.66. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence67. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.68. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic69. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.70. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.Part IV Writing （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The X- Factor (英国偶像), Britain's got talent（英国达人）, American Idol（美国偶像）and Super girl, TV talent shows are popular all over the world.There are many reasons for that. To start with, the show can make the contestant(选手) famous overnight. Susan Boyle was an ordinar y English woman before she appeared on Britain’s Got talent, in which she sang “I Dreamed a Dream”. The video clip (片段) of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks. Second, the show offers a good opportunity to display one’s talents. Third, everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background. Even if you can’t perform in the show, you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet. Fourth, the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people. Last but not least, the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity.However, many people express concerns about TV talent shows. They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can bee famous overnight. Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists, because many winners have little idea about real music and acting. What’s worse, some judges even humiliate (羞辱) and laugh at contestants. One contestant from American Idol mitted suicide because she couldn’t stand the rejection and humiliation. Even the winners suffer. Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show, because she was unable to deal with the pressure.Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show. The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate. China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time. In the USA, some insulting judges are punished.Section B （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage, answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling. Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one’s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.“I must see him,” she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.“I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly, “yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin.” “This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands,” Mahatma Gandhi said. “If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.” “But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.”81. What does generosity really mean according to the passage? (No more than 14 words)_________________________________________________________________________82. What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for? (No more than 12 words)_________________________________________________________________________83. Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi?

ADon't ignore the difference teenagers can make.Jonny Thomas, 14, FloridaWhen Jonny Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks (孔雀). He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth's favorite park in the city. He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired. Jonny raised $52,000 to build the fountain.Barrett England, 13, UtahThe wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop, a place where young people can earn a free bike by reading and performing community service. Barrett visited Karma's owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop. He expected to get about 10 donated bikes. In the end, Barrett received 39.Zachary Blohm, 15, WisconsinThe 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wis., was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time. That's when Zachary Blohm saved the day. He and some volunteers build a huge playground. To raise money, Zac planned T-shirt and bake sales (烤饼义卖), sold tickets and more. He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year. Overall, he collected $130,000--- enough to finish his project.Jack Zimmerman, 16, New JerseyFor some people, finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator. For more than 366,000 hungry kids in New Jersey, it's not that easy. That fact didn't sit well with Jack Zimmerman, who organized a drive to reduce childhood hunger in his state. His goal: create 40,000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need. Ongame day, Jack and his volunteers started their work. After the final count, the team had packaged 47,124 meals---well above Jack's goal.( )1．The peacock fountain was built in a park ________.A．to encourage people B．for the love of animalsC．in memory of a teenager D．to cure a cancer sufferer( )2．What did Barrett do for Karma Bike shop?A．He helped it win customers.B．He repaired bikes there.C．He donated bikes to it.D．He offered a reading service there.( )3．What do the four people have in common?A．They care about others.B．They're top students.C．They like various public activities.D．They're money raisers for the poor.BWhen I was six or seven, I could not understand the units. My parents got me a teacher, Jacky Ralfs, to give me private lessons.He started off trying the classic way of two plus two, but instead of shaking his head when I did not understand, he would try a different method. I remember him drawing little bags containing apples with three in one and four in another to explain. I understood when the sum was shown in practical terms.The other thing that impressed me was that Jacky was exciting and fun. I don't think teachers realize what an influence they have on children by their own personality. He dressed as he thought a teacher should look if he had been playing the part on stage. He was good company. As well as me in maths. I remembered him reading me books. The most important thing Jacky taught me was dogged determination. We had a swing ball in the garden and I was not very good at hitting the thing, but he encouraged me to keep on trying over and over again until I got the hang of it.In my last year at school, I decided I had better do some work. I had long since been banned（禁止）from theAfrikaans (one of the official languages of South Africa) class, but found I could not get my matric(大学入学考试) without passing Afrikaans and the other subjects I studied. Without Afrikaans, all the effort I put into everything else would have been nothing. I remember Jackie saying you will be surprised at what happens if you just keep going. So I told myself in the school library. The school was run by nuns, so we are not allowed any books for girls to read, but there were magazines about farming in the library and they had good stories in them. I learned Afrikaans from reading stories about the farmer's boy.We lost touch, but all through my career I have kept a photograph of him to remind me of his wise advice. ( )4．How did Jacky behave when he taught the author math?A．He played games with the authorB．He bought the author some books.C．He did magic to help the author understand.D．He taught the author with the help of drawings.( )5．What was the most important thing Jacky taught the author?A．Always being friendly. B．How to attract others.C．How to dress up. D．Never giving up.( )6．Why did the author work hard on her Afrikaans?A．She needed to pass the entrance examination of university.B．She felt Afrikaans difficult than other subjects.C．She did well in her subjects except Afrikaans.D．She was interested in Afrikaans.( )7．Which of the following best describes Jacky Ralfs?A．Encouraging and determined. B．Dependent and friendly.C．Carry and strong. D．Unusual and fearless.CMusic is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.A recent study suggests that preterm ( 早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.( )8．How does music affect preterm babies?A．It helps babies feel less suffering.B．It helps develop their potential in music.C．It helps improve their hearing systems.D．It helps repair their neurological systems.( )9．What does the underlined phrase "stave off" in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Lead to B．Increase C．Prevent D．Break into( )10．Why can music mend a broken heart?A．It has a positive effect on human body systems' work.B．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.C．It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.D．It can help patients recover in a slow way.( )11．What may be the best title for the text?A．Babies can benefit from music B．The best power of musicC．The way to choose quality music D．How music affects our mind and bodyDThere’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there. Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that —it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same”, freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table. Sustainability (可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity.3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids(水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae (藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients (烹饪原料).3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterdays bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste (糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.( )12．What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A．It solves food shortages easily.B．It quickens the transportation of food.C．It needs no space for the storage of food.D．It uses renewable materials as sources of food.( )13．According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ______________.A．is more available to consumersB．can meet individual nutritional needsC．is more tasty than food in supermarketsD．can keep all the nutrition in raw materials( )14．What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A．The printing process is complicated.B．3D food printers are too expensive.C．Food materials have to be dry.D．Some experts doubt 3D food printing.( )15．What could be the best title of the passage?A．3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology.B．A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing.C．The Challenges for 3D Food Production.D．3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
