ATeens who are changing the worldTeenagers are, in fact, solving the problems of today with gro undbreaking inventions.KeianaCavé, U.S.A.The largest oil slick (浮油) caused by the oil overflow occurring in the Gulf of Mexico i n 2010 led to baby dolphins dying at six times the usual rate. Watching the news on TV, Cavé felt that there must be some hidden environmental damage. Aged just 15, she began study ing what happens to oil when it's left on the ocean’s surface. The teenager discovered that when it’s hit by UV rays from th e sun, oil reacts to form chemicals which cause cancer.Cavé has turned her work into two patents for methods of det ecting(发现)the dangerous chemicals.Wang Sunming and Li Jingpeng, ChinaRealizing the extent to which bacteria spread on public door h andles, Wang and Li sought a material—titanium oxide (钛白粉) —that could adequately kill bacteria. However, the chemical isn’t very effective unless exposed to UV rays. Since most door h andles are inside buildings—beyond the reach of UV rays from the sun, Wang and Li turne d to LED lights and created a LED door handle. When a perso n touches the handle, the UV light switches on, activating (使活跃) the titanium oxide on it and instantly killing 99.8 percent ofthe bacteria that might otherwise have been spread.Julian Rios Cantu, MexicoThis inventor was just 13 years old when his mother was diag nosed (诊断) with breast cancer. He watched in horror as the tumor (肿瘤) grew from the size of a green bean to the size of a golf bal l.After his mother recovered, Cantu set out to protect others fro m the disease. He developed a wearable device that may be able to detect the early signs of breast cancer. If the project s ucceeds, it can save millions of lives.Why did Cavé begin studying oil left on the ocean’s surface?A. To test her unique prediction.B. To prevent the oil overflowing.C. To apply for a patent on her invention.D. To find the cause of baby dolphins’ deaths.22. What is special about the bacteria-killing door handle?A. The titanium oxide is an active chemical.B. LED lights are used to provide power at night.C. The UV light causes titanium oxide to kill bacteria.D. The design has made it an affordable choice for most.23. What can we learn from the teenagers mentioned in the te xt?A. The problems of today are all solved by teenagers.B. They are highly educated and truly creative.C. A good beginning makes a good ending.D. Necessity is the mother of invention.BI can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldes t person in the world to ride a roller-coaster. I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you ro und quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I could n’t ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.I wasn’t nervous and I didn’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Der byshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, whichwas fantastic.People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Rec ords. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate.I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that wa s got a year earlier.My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ic e-bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. A fter that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t thi nk I’ve wasted any of it.24. Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosa urus?A. Because he was told not to do so.B. Because he thought it spun too fast.C. Because he considered it too gentle.D. Because he was in a bad physical condition.25. How did the author most probably react while riding the rol ler-coaster?A. He really enjoyed himself.B. He was very worried at first.C. He couldn’t think much about it.D. He got frightened as it started moving.26. What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4?A. He was eager to get certificates.B. He disliked showing off his success.C. He was the oldest person in the world.D. He set a record the year before last year.27. What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. healthy.B. strong.C. crazy.D. funny.CThe Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining global pop ularity. TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and region s around the world. Westerners’ understanding of TCM, howe ver, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage (针灸、拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps’ back from cu pping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pa in became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2 016.As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs (药草) play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and k eeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment syste m than physical treatment. It is therefore upsetting to know th at while 103 WHO member countries have given approval to t he practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herb al medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing par tly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs are made into pills, power and soup. Compared with W estern medicine, which has standardized drug production pro cesses and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, a nd the chemical composition and functions of its medicines is unclear and their effects are unsteady. Fortunately, standardiz ation has improved in recent decades, with an increasing num ber of factories producing patented TCM drugs.Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM pr escription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medici ne-making companies come up with new products every year, T CM drug producers tend to make medicines according to pres cription handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu You you’s winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China’s T CM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be c hanged within a short time.28. Why does the author mentioned the example of Michael P helps?A. Because he was injured in his swimming.B. Because westerners know a little about TCM.C. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.D. Because westerners attached great importance to TCM.29. Why don’t some member countries of WHO recognize Chi nese herbal medicine?A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.B. Because Western medicine is more effective.C.Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops sl owly.30. Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak pointof TCM in Paragraph 3?A. The methods of planting herbs.B. Its stable fun ctions.C. Lacking in standardization.D. The effectiveness of prescription.31. The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that_______ _.A. Prescription are got from the pastB. Western companies are more experiencedC. Medicine-making companies lack creativityD. Medicine-making companies lack driving forceDI read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is si mple, but revolutionary (革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nurser y school in the same building. The children and the residents (住户) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, pai nting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy re ading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tire d, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old andthe young. There are many reasons for this, including the bre akdown of the extended family, working parents with no time t o care for aging relations, and smaller flats with no room for gr andparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no c ontact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies. That’s why inter-generational programs are growing in popularity all over the w orld. There are examples of successful actions all over the wo rld. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is on e obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants i n schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. T he young people help with practical things such as writing lett ers, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be p aired with a teenager who wants to study law.But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge to o. If older people can understand and accept the youth of tod ay, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.32. Why does the author mention the newspaper article he re ad?A. To argue for a new concept.B. To show his interest i n the topic.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To draw our attenti on to a social problem.33. What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs?A. To provide a good job opportunity for the young.B. To bring the old and the young together.C. To teach the young to respect the old.D. To ask the old to care for the young.34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity in the world.B. The inter-generational programs’ benefits to individuals.C. The inter-generational programs all over the world.D. The examples of inter-generational activities.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Building bridges for the old and the young.B. A new concept in caring for the old is born.C. Offering a warm home for the young.D. Being old is no more sad.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Stuttering （口吃）has nothing to do with intelligence. I know this because I stutter. If it takes me a while longer to say a word, it's not because I can't remember the word; it's because theneural(神经的） pathway that transforms words in my head into sounds in my mouth is wired differently. And differences, of course, are the best way to get negative attention in our society. Taking extra time to get my words out can surely be frustrating, but that's nothing compared to the misery of dealing with people's reactions.Almost all children who stutter are discouraged from speaking in one way or another. It's usually not as direct as someone walking up to them and saying, “Hey, stuttering kid! Keep your mouth shut!” But when your voice causes adults and peers to snicker （窃笑）or roll their eyes, it's pretty discouraging.Growing up, I learned to avoid speaking whenever possible. I hated what came out of my mouth,full of awkward breaks and pauses. I figured whatever future I had, it probably involved a vow of silence.Today Fm a touring author and comedian. It took me 30-something years to get over stuttering. Did I stop stuttering? No! I couldn't stop if I wanted to. But I stopped wanting to stop. Instead of wasting all my time and energy trying to meet unattainable standards, I learned that it's OK to stutter. And I learned by example. I attended the National Stuttering Association conference and met all kinds of people who stutter—people who didn't hate themselves, who didn't silence themselves. They stuttered, and they were OK with it! I remember watching them and thinking, "That's who I want to be!"There's a popular saying in comedy: "Your weakness is your strength." When I first entered my local open-mic scene, I was quickly met with some "smart" guys looking to score a cheap laugh at my expense. I remember introducing myself to one comedian and stuttering on my name, as I usually do. Eager to demonstrate his smartness, he replied, "Is that Nina with five Ns?" "No," I said, "it's Nina with two Ns!" Just like that, I had created a joke as the result of someone making fiin of my stutter. To this day, whenever I need inspiration for a new joke, I just think about all the ridiculous comments I get from non-stuttering people. It's a comedy gold mine!1. It takes the author longer to say a word because she has _______.A．a comparatively low IQ B．trouble in organizing ideasC．a relatively small brain D．problems in her neural system2. What annoys the author most about her stuttering is _______.A．the unfriendly reactions of othersB．the difficulty in memorising wordsC．her unpromising future as a stuttererD．her embarrassing pauses during talks3. The author got over stuttering by _______.A．adjusting her attitude towards itB．getting help from non-stutterersC．telling herself constantly to stop itD．silencing herself whenever possible4. Paragraph 5 is mainly about the author's _______.A．success as a comedianB．respect for other comediansC．resistance to others' strengthD．acceptance of her imperfection3. No matter where they live in the world, in general, women are better at empathizing with other people than men, according to a study published in the journal PNAS.Cognitive empathy is when a person is intellectually able to understand what someone else might be thinking or feeling. So if, for instance, a person is telling he had a bad time with his family over the holiday, a person with cognitive empathy would understand how that bad time makes the person feel by intellectually putting him/her in that other person’s shoes.It’s different from emotional empathy: a person feels another person’s emotions and responds with an appropriate reaction or emotion. For instance, if someone is crying about a broken relationship, a person with emotional empathy would start to feel sad too, and feel compassion for that person. There’s a test on University of Cambridge’s website that tests both forms of empathy. To conduct this new study, researchers used the “Eyes Test”. The test asks participants to look at photos of the area around a person’s eyes. The person is making a particular kind of facial expression, and the study participant must identify what that person is thinking or feeling from a set of possibilities.The authors of the study worked at University of Cambridge in Britain and Harvard University in the USA, Bar-Ilan University and Haifa University in Israel, as well as at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in Italy. Mixing their results with large samples from different online platforms, the authors of the study captured results from nearly 306,000 people across 57 countries including Argentina, Croatia, Egypt, India, Japan and Norway.In 36 countries, women scored on average significantly higher in their cognitive empathy scores than men did. In 21 of the countries, women’s and men’s scores were similar. There wasn’t a single country in which men scored better, on average, than women. The results held across eight languages and were consistent across the lifespan, from people aged 16 — 70 years old.In some of the earlier studies, sex differences in empathy were sometimes attributed to biological and social factors. Understanding sex differences in empathy could help scientists better understand why certain mental health problems impact more men than women, the researchers said.1. Which of the following can be classified as emotional empathy?A．A person can understand the dilemma of another person.B．A nurse shows concern for the patient by many little attentions.C．A friend can help a girl control her feeling of missing her dead mother.D．A student is crying about his failing test, and his classmate is crying too with him.2. What was the researchers’ purpose in using the “Eyes Test”?A．To inspire the participants to empathize.B．To differentiate the two forms of empathy.C．To recognize the participants’ visual sense.D．To measure the participants’ empathy levels.3. What did the researchers do for their study?A．They collected data from around the globe.B．They built many online platforms to collect data.C．They interviewed millions of people worldwide.D．They traveled globally to meet related experts.4. What do we know about the sex differences in empathy from the study?A．They will even increase with people aging.B．They are unrelated to the cultural differences.C．They are more obvious in developed countries.D．They are the causes of mental health problems.4. Archaeologists in Germany have uncovered some of the earliest evidence of the use of clothing, with newly discovered cut marks on a cave bear’s paws suggesting the prehistoric animal was skinned for its fur some 300,000 years ago.The discovery in Schöningen, northern Germany, is exciting because despite the written records of cave men and women covered in fur in some popular cultures, very little is truly known about how early humans clothed their bodies. Fur, leather and other organic materials typically can’t be preserved beyond 100,000 years.“The study is signifi cant because direct evidence of prehistoric clothing is scant and we know relatively little about how humans in the deep past were protecting themselves from cold winters. From this early time period, there are only a handful of sites that show evidence of bear skinning, with Schöningen providing the most complete picture,” said study author Ivo Verheijen fromTübingen University in Germany.Cave bears were large animals, about the size of polar bears, that went extinct about 25,000 years ago. The cave bear’s fur, which has long outer hairs that form an airy protective layer, and short, dense hairs that provide good insulation (隔离), was suitable for making simple clothing or bedding.The clothing in the site probably wrapped the human body without careful tailoring. The eyed needles needed to sew more excellent designs didn’t emerge in the archaeological record until about 45,000 years ago.“We found the cut marks on the cave bear’s hands and feet where very little meat or fat is present on the bones, which argues against the cut marks originating from the butchering of the animal,” Verheijen said. “In these locations, the skin is much closer to the bones, which makes marking the bones inevitable when an animal is being skinned.”The Schöningen site in Germany is most famous for the discovery of the oldest known wooden weapons that were used to kill prey 300,000 years ago.But it’s still challenging to figure out exactly when ancient humans began wearing clothing. Genetic studies of lice (跳蚤) indicate that clothing lice separated from their human head louse ancestors at least 83,000 years ago and possibly as early as 170,000 years ago, which suggests humans were wearing clothes before major migrations out of Africa. Bone tools found in what’s now Morocco suggest that humans were processing animal skins 90,000 to 120,000 years ago.1. What did archaeologists find in Schöningen?A．Fur of a cave bear. B．Bones with cut marks.C．Pieces of prehistoric clothing. D．Evidence of prehistoric hunting.2. What does the wo rd “scant” underlined in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Not correct. B．Not very much.C．Not valuable. D．Not clear enough.3. What did Verheijen aim to do in paragraph 6?A．To give an explanation. B．To provide some examples.C．To offer more details of the study. D．To show the importance of the study.4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Previous studies on human clothing.B．The process of studying human clothing.C．Other new discoveries of human clothing.D．An unsolved mystery about human clothing.5. Humans were made for walking. With our upright posture and strong leg muscles, our bodies were actually designed with walking in mind which makes it such perfect exercise. It’s kind to our bodies and great for our waistlines. 1Maybe you alread y love to walk, but you’re getting tired of tracing the same old route day after day, or maybe you’re new to walking and aren’t sure how to get started. 2 Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? See new places? Get out into the countryside or explore a new city? Knowing your goals will help you decide on the type of walk you want to do.If making friends and socializing is your goal, call up your friends and schedule walks with them. 3 Many malls have groups that come every day, or every weekend, to “walk the mall.” These groups are always happy to include one more walker!4 Many large cities have incredible gardens and parks that include quiet walking trails getting you off the beaten path. Thanks to the Rails to Trails program, railways across the country are being transformed into scenic walking paths that are a perfect way to seek calmness.From the benefits to your heart to your overall happiness, walking is just plain good for you. 5 It’s a fantastic way to get to know a place by the power of your own two feet.6.
