A★★☆☆☆My name is Jenna Berrios and I’m a senior at Rowan High School playing my first basketball season with Unified Sports. Becoming involved with Unified Sports has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my senior year.Rowan’s Unified Spo rts Club has been the highlight (最精彩的部分) of my final term. It’s a competitive sports club where Rowan students (Unified Partners) and the Special Olympics athletes come together to play on the same team for soccer (fall) and basketball (spring). The goal o f Rowan’s Unified Sports Club is to promote (增进)friendship and inclusion through sports while still keeping a competitive atmosphere. But it’s not just playing! They provide a variety of other ways to take part and share in their cause. They hope and try hard to promote equality (平等) and inclusion in all aspects of the club. Unified Sports is a fun way to get involved at Rowan, meet new friends, and have a meaningful experience. They encourage people from all walks of life to join in the Unified family.Words cannot fully explain how much fun taking part in Unified Sports truly is. It not only brings joy and excitement into the Special Olympics athletes’ lives, but also the student athletes, parents and community as well. I personally look forward to Saturday mornings each week when I am reunited with my teammates.Once everyone is on the court, nobody notices whether you are disabled or not. It’s simply just a group of people of all ages having fun together joining as one unit playing basketball. Playing as a team is exciting and watching the gym full of athletes joining together is inspiring.Now that I have experienced such a rewarding program, I can only hope it expands to other colleges, high schools, and community centers as well. Everyone has the right to grow up having equal opportunities to play competitive sports. If you have yet to experience Unified Sports, I highly suggest becoming involved in any way you can!21. We can learn from the text that Rowan’s Unified Sports Club _____.A. is a national basketball clubB. mainly admits disabled athletesC. mainly provides opportunities for senior year studentsD. aims to include different people and promote friendships22. Jenna Berrios’s attitude towards Unified Sports can be descr ibed as _____.A. uncaringB. enthusiasticC. unfavorableD. cautious23. It can be inferred that in Unified Sports the Special Olympics athletes _____.A. are easily recognizedB. cannot play in fierce gamesC. can equally enjoy competitive sportsD. are not allowed to compete with others24. The last paragraph is intended to _____.A. explain how Unified Sports worksB. show readers how to join Unified SportsC. encourage readers to join Unified SportsD. describe the future development of Unified SportsB★★★☆☆Seal seizes (占领) raftThis seal really rocked the boat when he found himself an unusual place to hang out. After the seal came across a boat in the harbor where he lives, he fell inside and wouldn’t budge for four days.“One morning the seal just pulled himself aboard,” says Ed Stubbings, who owns the boat-turned-bed. Probably thinking the boat was a rock, the seal made himself at home. The seal didn’t move an inch — not even to eat or drink.Stubbings was a little worried that the 500-pound animal might sink it. Luckily on the fifth day, the seal fell back into the water and swam off.Alligator (短吻鳄) gets new tailWhen Mr. Stubbs the alligator swims through his pool at the Phoenix Herpetological Society, he looks like any other gator — except that his tail is made of rubber. Mr. Stubbs is the first alligator known to wear an artificial tail.Mr. Stubbs was brought to the society nine years ago. “His tail was missing when he a rrived,” says President Russ Johnson. Mr. Stubbs couldn’t walk or swim properly. “We showed him how to swim in the water,” Johnson says. “But that hurt his back.” Later, the scientists used rubber to build an artificial tail attached to Mr. Stubbs’s back legs. “Once we put the tail on him, he walked with ease,” Johnson says.Dog delivers papersMorgan started her “paper route” when she was young. One day as Morgan and her owner Bill set out on a walk, she spotted a rolled-up paper. To Bill’s surprise, Morgan grabbed the object in her mouth, walked back to the house, and dropped it on the doorstep. Morgan enjoyed the activity so much that she wanted to deliver every paper she saw on her walks.Now three-year-old Morgan brings the paper to her owner and neighbors, even in bad weather. “Morgan has a natural instinct (本能) to carry thing s with her mouth,” dog behaviorist Pat Miller says. “And she feels rewarded by the activity, so she keeps it up.”25. The underlined word “budge” can be replaced by “_____”.A. sleepB. moveC. changeD. swim26. It can be learned that Mr. Stubbs _____.A. injured his backB. lost his tail and back legsC. was found by Ed StubbingsD. quickly adapted to his new tail27. What made Morgan deliver papers?A. Her natural ability.B. H er owner Bill’s praise.C. Her neighbors’ rewards.D. Pat Miller’s encouragement.C★★★★☆Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to PIBOT. Developed in South Korea, this little machine is about the size of a child’s toy, and has a head that kind of looks like a toaster (烤箱). It’s also able to fly a plane.The researchers responsible for the robot’s development have actual ly managed to program it with all the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a standard airplane. Through a built-in webcam (网络摄像机), PIBOT is able to gather information about its surroundings — such as location, airspeed, and weather conditions.With all of this information, it’s able to make decisions in much the same way as a human pilot would. It’s already completed one successful test flight — sort of. Inthe video presented at IROS 2014 in Chicago, PIBOT was seen guiding the airplane through a short test flight in a flight simulator (模拟器) — a process which included both takeoff and landing.It’s super cool.Now, it’s worth mentioning that — even as impressive as PIBOT is —we aren’t going to be seeing it in any real airplanes at any point in the near future. Although the little robot is certainly able to operate a plane, it doesn’t quite have the skills necessary to address some of the real world situations met by pilots — such as bad weather or mix-ups on the runway. It doesn’t meet the government’s rules, either.The inventors aren’t terribly discouraged, however. They expect that it’s only a matter of time before they manage to get PIBOT up to the necessary standards. When the day comes, we might see airlines put to work a whole new type of pilot; one who never tires, never gets hungry, and never makes mistakes.So ... if you’ve a career in aviation (航空), it might soon be time to start planning for retirement (退休).28. We know from the text that PIBOT _____.A. is very largeB. can serve as a toasterC. was developed in ChicagoD. is designed to operate a plane29. In the presented video, PIBOT _____.A. competed with a human pilotB. completed several test flightsC. made decisions totally like humansD. successfully guided a plane to take off and land30. Why won’t PIBOT be put into use?A. It can’t predict weather conditions.B. It can’t deal with real world situations.C. It doesn’t have the skills to operate a plan e.D. It can’t gather information about its surroundings.31. It can be learned from the text that _____.A. PIBOT won’t make any mistake in a flightB. the researchers will have to abandon the planC. PIBOT will surely replace human pilots one dayD. the inventors are confident about the future of PIBOTD★★★★☆According to research, half the world’s population will be speaking or learning English by 2015.The report’s author, David Graddol, found that many governments are now introducing the teaching of English, even at kindergarten level, because of its economic importance. English predominates (占主导地位) in the world of business, with many countries wishing to compete for financially important contracts (合同). However, countries such as Malaysia and Sri Lanka are protecting their native languages, which are closely connected with their national independence and identity.According to the report, the rapid growth in English learning around the world is the result of increased numbers of primary school children and middle-aged people being taught the subject for the first time. But the report predicts that the boom (激增) will be over by 2050, when English-language students will be down from 2 billion to 500 million. The English-language teaching business will become the victim of its own success, and will therefore gradually decrease over time.As more of the world’s youngest children learn English as their second language, fewer of them will need to be taught it later in their school careers, as they will already have reached high levels of proficiency (熟练). They will even be expected to start learning other school subjects such as maths and science through the medium of English. Many universities are also choosing to teach in English, with students expected to listen to, read and write very high-level subjects in English instead of their own languages.Mr. Graddol points out that Britain hasn’t got a very good reputation for learning other languages, so it may be at a disadvantage in the future. Valuable business may move away from Britain to countries where more people are bilingual (双语的) or multi-lingual, skills which are highly prized. The report also shows that English isn’t the only language spreading across the world. Far from being dominated by English, the world will become more multi-lingual. Chinese, Arabic and Spanish are all popular, and likely to be languages of the future. This is something students worldwide will need to think about when planning their careers.32. Why are some countries protecting their native languages against the influence ofEnglish?A. To strengthen their national identity.B. To spread their languages.C. To expand their economy.D. To prevent culture shock.33. Paragraph 3 suggests that by 2050 _____.A. English speakers will face great pressureB. the number of English learners will grow rapidlyC. the English-language teaching business will disappearD. there may be less demand for English-language teaching34. Young people who learn English at primary schools are expected to _____.A. achieve a high level of their own languageB. spend more time studying maths and scienceC. learn other subjects, read and write in EnglishD. teach others English later in their school careers35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. English will be replaced by Chinese or Spanish.B. Britain will absolutely lose lots of its businesses.C. There’ll be a demand for multi-lingual speakers.D. Students would like to study in bilingual countries.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
