Maricel Apatan, 22, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Sh angi­La Hotel in Manila,
preparing to decorate a cheese cake. It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef, but Maricel is no ordinary chef—she has no hands.
Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm. Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11­year­old girl lost her hands. In 2004, she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities. She learned how to write and do housework and, more importantly, came to terms with her disability.
After graduating from high school, she took a two­year Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course. After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies, the media started reporting on this determined young woman. She didn't shy away from the attention. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life，” Maricel says.
When managers at the Edsa Shangi­La Hotel saw Maricel on television, they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project. She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others. One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano, a 21­year­old wi th cerebral palsy (脑瘫). She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence. Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.
Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila. She pays for the rent of their small apartment, while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao. “It is difficult to make ends meet, but I won't lose hope. I believe anything is possible if you dream, work hard and pray.”
[语篇解读] 本文为一篇关于人物介绍的记叙文。

22岁的玛丽切尔是一位失去了双手的残疾人，但是她没有放弃希望，而是努力自立自强。

受到她的鼓舞，另一位残疾女孩也立志要在IT行业寻找自己的发展空间。

4．“Maricel is no ordinary chef” because ________.
A．she is better than other chefs
B．she is physically disabled
C．she can do a routine task
D．she is good at decorating cakes

A．She survived while her uncle did not.
B．She didn't shy away from public attention.
C．She has inspired some disabled people.
D．She managed to make a living by herself.

由第二段第二句话“Fortunately, both of t hem survived, but the 11­year­old girl lost her hands.”可知他们二人都幸存了下来，所以A项说法有误。

答案：A
6．The underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 3 is similar to “________”．A．was rejected B．was employed

Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world's leading women scientists, had a remarkable career. The work—she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963. Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long­time study of the mountain gorillas. She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967. She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24,1967.
Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现). By copying gorillas' behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts”reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey's favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑), “No one loved gorillas more...”
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.
[语篇解读] 本文为我们介绍了Dian Fossey博士及她献身的事业。

8．Why does the author say Dr Dian Fossey“had a remarkable career”？
A．Because she travelled all over the world.
B．Because she liked to play with gorillas.
C．Because she studied gorilla ecology.
D．Because she made great apes increase steadily.
解析：细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句可知，她的工作使濒危动物——巨猿的数量得以平稳增长，这是她的非凡成就。

答案：D
9．Which of the following shows the right time order of the events in Fossey's life?
a．She established the Digit Fund.
b．Her story was shown in a movie.
c．She was killed probably by the poachers.
d．She established her “Karisoke” centre.
A．a，d，c，b B．a，c，d，b
C．d，c，b，a D．d，a，c，b
解析：细节理解题。

Fossey建立the Digit Fund是在1977年；她的故事被拍成电影是在1988年；她被杀害是在1985年；她建立Karisoke研究中心是在1967年。

由此可知D项的排序是正确的。

答案：D
10．The underlined word “poachers” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to people
who ________.
A．sell drugs against the law
B．hunt animals against the law
C．hate successful people
D．like to do harm to people
解析：词义猜测题。

根据最后三段中Fossey建立保护大猩猩的基金及她与poachers 进行斗争可知poacher指“偷猎者”。

答案：B
11．From the words on Fossey's tombstone, we can infer that ________.
A．Fossey was the person who loved gorillas most
B．after Fossey died, no one loves gorillas
C．Fossey was the first one to study gorillas
D．everybody loves gorillas as Fossey did
解析：推理判断题。

写在Fossey墓碑上的这句话的意思是“没有人比Fossey更爱大猩猩了”，也就是说Fossey是最热爱大猩猩的人。

答案：A
D
High school biology teacher Kelly Chavis knew smartphones were a problem in her class. But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in­class experiment.
For one class period, students used a whiteboard to count every Snapchat, Instagram, text, call that appeared on their phones. Chavis is among a growing number of teachers, parents and health experts who believe that smartphones are now partly to blame for increasing the levels of student anxiety. “One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150！” she said.
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University in California, said it is not a coincidence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones. “This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face­to­face interactions necessary for their growth，” she said.
Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use. But nearly 60 percent of parents said they worry about the influence of social media on their child's physical and mental health.
Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem. Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students' social media activity
for signs of anxiety. Other schools invite in yoga teachers and comfort dogs to help calm students.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。

作者通过Kelly Chavis的课堂实验展示了智能手机对学生的影响，并引用一些专业人士的观点来支持个人的论证，继而说明了学校就学生使用手机问题采取的措施。

12．What's the purpose of Chavis's experiment?
A．To see how many students have smartphones.
B．To find out how popular her students are.
C．To show smartphones influence teenagers greatly.
D．To tell her students how to use smartphones wisely.
解析：细节理解题。

根据第一段的“But not even the students realized how much of a problem the devices were until Chavis did an in­class experiment.”和下文可知，直到Chavis在课堂上做了一个实验，学生们才意识到这些设备有多大的问题：焦虑、睡眠不足等，故Chavis的实验目的是想去展示手机对青少年的影响很大，故选C项。

答案：C
13．How did Kelly Chavis feel about the result?
A．Shocked.
B．Excited.
C．Satisfied.
D．Frightened.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段的“Chavis is among a growing number of teachers...are now partly to blame for increasing the levels o f...‘One girl, just during the one hour, got close to 150 Snapchat notifications. 150！’ she said.”越来越多的老师、家长和健康专家认为，学生的焦虑程度越来越高，部分原因是智能手机造成的，Chavis就是其中之一。

“一个女孩在一个小时内收到了近150条Snapchat通知。

150条！”，可知Chavis对于实验的结果是非常震惊的，故选A项。

答案：A
14．Which of the following is true according to Jean Twenge?
A．Students are now under great stress.
B．Students spend too much money on smartphones.
C．Over­using phones cause drops in students' grades.
D．Over­using phones may harm students' body and mind.
解析：推理判断题。

根据第三段的“it is not a coinci dence that youth mental health issues have risen with the number of phones”可知Jean Twenge认为过度使用手机可
能会伤害学生的身心。

故选D项。

答案：D
15．What might be talked about if the passage is continued?
A．How other schools deal with students' phones.
B．Whether the ways to handle phones are effective.
C．How some parents deal with their children's phones.
D．Whether students are willing to give up using phones.
解析：推理判断题。

根据最后一段的第一句“Both schools and parents are starting to take steps to deal with the problem.”及接下来两句讨论的是学校应采取的措施，那么接下来的段落可能会讨论的是一些父母如何处理他们孩子的手机。

故选C项。

答案：C
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The world is colorful, where different languages, skin colors, and different cultures exist. 16 . A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world.
There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. 17 . Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an accurate understanding of the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people.

18 . A variety of language­l earning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. 19 . Moreover, making contact with people who are native speakers of the language also allows you to gain first­hand knowledge of a particular culture, which, on the other hand, can help you learn more.
20 . Whether you want to learn more about regions in Japan, the Middle East, Africa, or any other world culture, becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain insight into a particular cultural group's way of life.
A．Making your way leisurely to local bookstores can be a lot of fun
B．One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture
C．Learn about different cultures by eating food from a specific cultural group

My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “Gee, I wonder what I can do to make my brother's birthday special.”
I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but
I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought，I wanted to buy him the paint­by­number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the corner.
I decided to empty my coin jar and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I o nly have about three dollars，” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I have saved.
Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents' bedroom where my dad kept loose change on top of the dresser. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some dime, nickels, and a few quarters. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once，” I thought.
However，I was soon overcome by guilt. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. “Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all，” I thought.
I jingled the change around in my pocket while wondering what to do.
I grabbed my jacket from the closet and headed towar d the door. “Where are you going, honey？” Mom asked. “Oh, just up to the corner store，” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long. Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom，” I ran out of our house.
Once I got to the store，I took the paint­by­number kit from th e shelf.
“Can I help you，young lady？” the salesclerk asked.
“No, I'm just looking. Thank you，” I said.
“That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one，” she said.

Paragraph 1：
I nodded my head in agreement, with my mind racing. But finally, I decided to place the paint­by­number kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, once I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack—just like they were before—and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing.
Paragraph 2：
I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The salesclerk had even agreed that she would hold the paint set behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I wasn't able to buy the paint kit until two weeks later, but it seemed extra special when I was finally able to lay my money on the counter. I smiled as I raced home knowing the paint kit would be the perfect present for Johnny.。
