So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her re search,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”“My design will ensure the safety of t he astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says.Dobek’s design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek’s design. A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual (虚拟的) reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”24.What did Dobek tell other kids?A.Kids should stay in the comfort zone.B. Kids should follow their dreams .C. Kids should travel to Mars.D. Kids should care about others.25. Dobek first became interested in space when .A. she was still a seventh-graderB. she studied at junior high schoolC. she lived on the top of their houseD. she watched an eclipse of the moon26. Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because .A. she knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeB. she had no other students interested in MarsC. she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performanceD. Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts27. What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?A. The environment on Mars.B. The supplies of foodC. The physical activities for astronauts.D. The safety and comfort of the astronauts.CWilliam I, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or riding lawn mower (除草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not havingdisease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.28. What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mea n?A. Succeed as a king.B. Deal with complaints.C. Live in a satisfactory way. D Get the money needed.29. How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A. 4.B. 3.C. 5.D. 6.30.According to the passage, the author intends to .A. warn us to live in a simple way.B. tell us to be content with lifeC. teach us to learn lessons from lifeD. encourage us to struggle for wealth31.What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DMarvin Minsky is often called the Father of Artificial Intelligence. His work helped inspire the creation of the personal computer and the Internet.Artificial IntelligenceBefore Minsky, computers were more like calculators, performing maths operations at speeds much faster than humans. Minsky was the first to say that computers can one day be as intelligent as human beings. He was so convinced about this, that in 1919, he and his friend John McCarthy invented the term “Artificial Intelligence” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Minsky wrote a book called Perceptrons, describing a particular type of “artificial neural (神经的) network”．Neural networks have made a comeback in a new field of Computer Science called Deep Learning. Deep Learning is used to recognize things and people in pictures (as seen in Facebook and Google Photos), languagetranslation (try Google Translate sometimes), and so on.Robotics, Microscopes and Virtual RealityHow many of you have done Robotics at school and loved it? You have Minsky to thank again, for his work on Robotics. One of his biggest inventions was the confocal scanning microscope, an instrument that is still widely used today in medical and scientific research.Minsky was really futuristic. He created one of the first head­mounted graphics displays (头戴式图形显示), which gave rise to the exciting area of Virtual Reality. This year, Facebook is releasing Oculus, a virtual reality headset, which you can use to play games with your friends in a 3­D environment.Minsky's major prediction that computers will one day become as intelligent as humans is now called the Theory of Singularity.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Minsky himself inven ted the term “Artificial Intelligence” in MIT.B．Minsky transformed computer into a machine more intelligent than human beings.C．Apart from Information Technology, Minsky's invention is also used in medical field.D．Minsky often play games in a 3­D enviro nment.33. Which is NOT the function of Deep Learning?A．Recognize people in Facebook.B．Spot items in Google Photos.C．Summarize main idea of a passage.D．Translate English into French.34. Which is one of Minsky's characteristics according to the passage?A．Foolish. B．Creative. C．Humourous. D．Considerate.35. In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?A．Technology. B．Travel. C．Environment. D．Life.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。

His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. “ He who dies rich, dies disgraced ”, he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic（慈善的） gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie’s generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus(核心) of the public library system that we all enjoy today.56.

J.D. Sulinger : A Life by Kenneth Slawenski(Random House, $27)Mystery (疑案小说)“ You’ re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you ‘re the only one who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?” The boy was staring stubbornly at his lap again.A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, “ Did you… You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?”The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “ Maybe,” he said quietly.Red wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria books, $25.99) Short storiesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class.

After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that_____.A. The boy helped arrest the murdererB. Benny died of an accidentC. the murderer got away with the crimeD. Ammika carried out the crimecI suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it's given from the heart. When people are talking，there's no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they're saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I'm s o so rry”，when someone is in pain.One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people ofteninterrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen，they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs，until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry，they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak o r did not know the answer. But now I know thata loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.63. What does the author value most in the communication with each other?A. Deep understanding.B. Saying “I'm sorry”．C. Doing nothing.D. Attention from heart.64.The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.A. she didn't get enough respect from others.B. people often told her their own opinionsC. she was discouraged by being often interruptedD. people couldn't understand her sad situation65. If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may ________.A. stop him from letting out his sorrowB. make him embarrassedC. encourage him to continue to cryD. hurt his feelings66. It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，________.A. people keep silent because they don't know the answerB. listening is a perfect way to respond to othersC. keeping silent means being too shy to speakD. it is easy to form the habit of listening silentlyDAre you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes” , if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping .In other words ,do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping ? If people have regretslater about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use , they may be considered to be problem shoppers.Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem –addictive shopping . Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money . They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and the y feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones,. When we feel bad inside ,we often do something to make ourselves feel better . In this case ,we often go shopping .A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness .For some people ,the motivation is a desire for status ,power ,beauty or success .Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants .Others shop simply because it makes them forget , at least temporarily , tension ,fear or unhappiness in their life.Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping . For instance ,there are some mall s where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because t hey don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there .What’s more ,food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided ,so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work ,you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior .For example ,how much time you will spend an d what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend . Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self control.67．Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?A．Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.B．Those who are occupied in too much shopping.C．Those who just walk around the shopping malls.D．Those who feel sorry for their shopping.68．According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?A．Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.B．The desire for status, power ,beauty or success.C．Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people’s life.D．The awareness of how market forces work.69．What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?A．Making a shopping list before we go shopping.B．Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.C．Making the shopping time as short as possible.D．Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.70．The author writes this passage to .A．inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppersB．tell a shopping storyC．scold the problem shoppersD．provide solutions to the problem shopping.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻癖) at the age of seven. Her spine（脊柱）became bent as she grew older . Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexico artist. Rivera's strong influence on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.56.What does the phrase “ a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A. a far better artistB. a far more gifted artistC. a much stronger personD. a much more famous person57.

The ancient Mayan prediction is going to happen in 2012.C.Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧的）．I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them．Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods．My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically．Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children．It iscommon for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result, today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情）is that so many ways of playing games are called "interactive”．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．64．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?A．To show who the passage is written for．B．To gather people's opinions on childhood．C．To compare the childhood lives of two generations．D．To get people's attention and lead in the topic65．Which is NOT a reason for the changes?A．Families are smaller today．B．Toys can be played by children alone at home．C．It's too dangerous to play outside．D．Parents worried too much about their children.66．What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?A．Some games that young people play today aren't really goodB．Computer and video games have replaced the board games．C．Young people today shouldn't play electronic games．D．Board games are much more interesting than computer games．67．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing is _____ ．A．approving B．objective C．unconcerned D．optimisticDEducating girls quite possibly gets a higher rate of return than any other deal available in the developing world．Women's education may be unusual field for economists, but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social project．And economics, with its emphasis on incentives （激励）, provides an explanation for why so many girls lose the chance of education．Parents in low-income countries don't send their daughters to school because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children．Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school----the prophecy （预言）becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle （恶性循环）of abandonment．An educated mother, on the other hand．has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices．She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance．The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys．will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle （良性循环）．Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits．But it has enormous economic advantages as well．Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers．Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling．Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available deal, but they are just the beginning．Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices，including family planning．68．The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is _______．A．expensive B．troublesomeC．rewarding D．labor-saving69．What does the author say about women's education?A．It has developed the interest of a growing number of economists．B．It is in the first place in many developing countries．C．It deserves greater attention than other social project．D．It will get greater returns than other known deal70．The passage mainly discusses ______．A．unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB．the economic and social benefits of educating womenC．the major contributions of educated women to societyD．the potential earning power of well-educated women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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
